The Knights Who Say Cuck rally around Trump in wake of KKK controversy

@Michael Brew
Thanks for that click-through to Gawker re Woody Guthrie and Fred Trump(!) It’s pretty long so I’ll read it later.

How are these white supremacists going to feel when they find out that Donald Trump’s daughter, who is his highly trusted, savvy adviser, is a convert to Orthodox Judaism?

IIRC, it was another WHTM commenter who made me aware of this fact.

Trump is now blaming “a very bad ear piece” for his refusal to disassociate himself from David Duke.

I don’t know whether he had a very bad ear piece.

But he certainly appears to have a very bad hair piece.

When I see someone use the work “cuck” in a literal or non-literal sense (the non-literal always contributes literal elements) I see someone who fears female sexuality and/or allowing others social control over themselves in almost any context.

I’m a person with an overdose of authoritarian instincts and I have learned when to let others take the lead. These are weak, craven cowardly fools who when they are not actually in charge will eat one another socially speaking. I find that they are not in control on themselves and that is a good weakness to exploit (if that is something one is comfortable exploiting). When listen to and read Trump I see someone who is good at emotive authoritarian speech, but very very weak when it comes to personal strength. I’m interested in seeing what it to come.

Also not all of us on the left are against gun ownership. I don’t make that comment often because the people favoring gun control have the more important arguments now, but these fools would face some metal if they decided they needed to use their own politically.

@IP Fingie looks like a very sweet kitty. I hope he gets better soon.

Regarding Der Drumpf: Any presidential candidate who isn’t aware of the white supremacy movement in this country needs to take themselves out of the running.

@Petal

Give Fingie lots of kisses (and belly rubs if he likes that) for me please.

@Imaginary Petal KITTEH!!!!

…ahem, I mean what a sweetie, hope the trip to the vet sorts everything out. 🙂

Methinks the Secret Service needs a liiiiiitle talk with their field agents about things like this.

To put it mildly.

@Mathieu: I’m interested in religion, including the modern revivals of European pagan traditions. And I am so tired of finding crypto-Nazis so frequently in my reading and social network activity. I have friends who follow the Norse pagan path and are not racist asswipes, but I’m starting to wonder if they are in the minority.

I’ve been watching WWII docs for the last couple of days, and I felt a pang watching the German girls in their dirndls and flower crowns dancing in circles to celebrate Spring. I felt sorry for the people who might have just wanted to revive their ancestral traditions, and instead saw those traditions woven into one of history’s most horrifying, ugly tapestries.

@katz: Yeah, I had seen some things on that page before that made me wonder, but this was, of course, the clincher.

@JoeKlemmer

You mean Hillary and Bernie too? That smells like false equivalence to me.

What has either of them said or done that’s on par with 1) not denouncing the KKK, 2) saying he’ll bring back “waterboarding and worse,” 3) saying we should murder the families of terrorists, 4) encouraging his supporters to commit violence against protesters, and all the other horrible things Trump has said and done?

@sebl

Don’t get me wrong. I love Bernie. But if he gets elected you know nothing is ever going to get done. The one thing the parties hate more than each other is someone who won’t play “the game” with them. See Carter for an example.

As for Clinton… Well, she makes Nixon look like a saint. All that stuff about Bengazi, emails/server and stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. Living here in the DC Metro area has it’s rare benefits.

Nothing personal, but I try to disbelieve all vague and utterly unverifiable insinuations/rumors about politicians. There are just way too many people willing to spread lies.

Not to mention the casual racism, flirtations with anti-vaxxers, the wall with Mexico, birtherism, deporting refugees, egregious sexism like insulting prominent women’s faces and saying they’re on their periods, being a slumlord…

Saying “They’re both equally bad!” is neither true nor helpful. Nor is sitting it out; that just suggests that there’s so little at stake for you personally that you have the privilege of acting above it all.
