I think the criticisms of Obamacare are fair, it kind of sucks. But I think your point is the more important one. It took a positive step, but still has a long long path to go. I don't think Obama pushing for greater reform was likely to succeed, so you have to take the small win, and try keep the momentum (which unfortunately didn't happen). It's amazing he got as far as he did with it.

Yup, former all time high-score leader on blowing away innocent people with drones. There was a very dark side to his presidency that for some reason gets excused.

Not worth the time to discuss? It's disgusting, and frankly very worrying. I'm floored at how this can viewed so cavalierly, it means these guys have already won a huge battle in normalizing such displays.
Unfortunately, it’s becoming normal in Florida.

Yeah, it's not so much how many of them there are at a time (it's in the hundreds though). It's how confident they feel in places like Flordia to march around, without even a pushback.

As good as it would feel to do that, I'm not going to jail because a Nazi said some ####ty things.

Unfortunately, there are laws that protect people, even for ####heads.

I do take the point about it being unchallenged, but I just get the feeling that they crave the attention and the photo op of confrontation. In my mind, ignoring them hurts worse.

The point is it shouldn't be illegal to be a Nazi, you fly that flag, you should be legal to get cold cocked

I’m like a freeman on the land when it comes to punching Nazis. You can try and tell me it’s illegal but I do not consent.

A Freeman on the Land beating up a Nazi.

That's like the worst person to be right.

GOP Rep. Puts ‘Absurd’ Marjorie Taylor Greene On Blast In Blunt TV Interview

Quote:
“The idea that that she is now the expert on impeachment or that she is someone who should set the timing on impeachment is absurd,” he said.

Impeachment, he added, should come if and when there is evidence of a high crimes and misdemeanors.

“That doesn’t exist right now,” he said.
Quote:
Last week, Greene slammed Buck for failing to object to the 2020 election, for defending the treatment of those jailed as a result of the Jan. 6 2021 attack on the Capitol, and for his refusal to back impeachment.

Buck fired back on “The George Brauchler Show.”

“When I was teaching law school, I learned and taught certain constitutional principles. When Marjorie Taylor Greene was teaching CrossFit, she learned a whole different set of values evidently,” he said.

“The Constitution says Congress ‘shall count the votes.’ It doesn’t say Congress ‘may overturn an election result,’” he added. “It doesn’t say Congress can do whatever the heck it wants with this election. ‘Shall count the votes.’ That’s what the Constitution says. In her CrossFit class maybe they didn’t cover that.”

For Republicans, threats of impeachment and coming after Hunter and Hillary has become the equivalent of a child’s “I’M TELLING MOM!”

Any Jew, homosexual, or communist should be allowed to kill anyone who flies a nazi flag, wears nazi insignia, publishes Nazi propaganda, or participates in a Nazi demonstration on the grounds of self-defense.

Preferably not… anyway, can’t believe there is anyone who would die on a hill defending nazism.

Um, the other side of that is defending cold-blooded murder. Not sure there is a good option to back in that scenario.

“Won’t someone think of the Nazi’s?”

Nazis are human garbage.

Advocating for groups to be able to target and murder another group based on group identity is... I dunno kinda something a nazi would do.

What the hell. Break out the razor wire and guard towers. We could use another ghetto.
