You're not clever. That still counts. And with 34 other cases for context, nobody is going to argue that this is 35.

I know you know that I've got your IP address.

Maybe you should wise up like Nilbog did and disappear from the site completely after she realized that she gave me hers as well.

In fact, since you are clearly incapable of behaving yourself like a normal human being, I would strongly recommend that you do so.

There's a growing body of evidence showing the Republican Party has a paramilitary wing
https://www.alternet.org/2021/03/republican-paramilitaries/?utm_source
=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6792


United States Senator Ron Johnson said recently that he wasn't scared when, on January 6, armed insurgents sacked and looted the United States Capitol. They "love this country," the Wisconsin Republican said. But "had the tables been turned and President Trump won the election and tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and antifa [stormed the seat of government], I might have been a little concerned."

That statement was disturbing not only for the implicit racism it carried, but for the stunning confirmation of what's becoming clear to those of us who are paying attention. The Republican Party has a paramilitary problem, and it isn't new.

You've told people to kill themselves 36 times here. Possibly more. But those are the ones that I've dated and archived off site.

Around 30 of them, you did so while under the illusion that you were posting anonymously and that this somehow protected you from any consequences from your actions.

What confuses me, is why you continue to do so after having graciously been given the knowledge that you are now a known entity on fff.net.



I'd suggest you find a caregiver that can use Google for you and show you the possible outcome here if this ends up in a court.

The only reason it hasn't started already is the same reason that I have not and will not ever outright doxx you with this information. It is because I'm a much better person than you ever could hope to be.

But my patience isn't infinite.

Seriously. Look into online harassment laws, specifically governing speech intended to urge somebody else kill themselves.

You obviously have no knowledge whatsoever about the topic, otherwise you wouldn't continue to make these posts when you were foolish enough to give me what I need to identify you.

You need to ask yourself if getting your edgy little pre-teen kicks this way is worth the consequences.

6ix, there are no consequences unless you or your survivors push American prosecutors to charge reaverfan. The mantra of prosecutors is Don't Prosecute Unless Forced to Prosecute. I see it all the time, but there is a particularly infamous would-be-defendant that prosecutors don't seriously try to punish because the would-be-defendant has the legal resources to fight back and make the prosecutors' lives difficult. Instead, prosecutors work mainly on easy-to-win cases because to avoid prosecuting even those cases would get them fired from their jobs. Who is this would-be-defendant?

A new US intelligence report that finds Russia interfered in the 2020 election to help Donald Trump and hurt Joe Biden also underscores a fundamental truth: The gravest threat to US democracy comes from within.

The report, released by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, finds that Moscow sought to inject misleading information about Biden into the campaign through officials and others close to Trump.

The real bombshell it contains is not the confidence of the spy agencies that Russia hoped to subvert American democracy. It is that US intelligence experts effectively confirmed that for the second election in a row, Trump acolytes repeatedly used, knowingly or otherwise, misinformation produced by the spies of one of America's most sworn foreign adversaries to try to win a US election.

And given the advantage of hindsight, the latest intelligence assessment is not just an isolated example of incriminating evidence against Russia and its efforts to create chaos and discord within the United States.

For all of the stale US debate about whether Trump and his aides "colluded" with Russia, there are now multiple reports, intelligence assessments and other known details to expose a damning reality: Moscow with its election meddling, Trump acolytes pushing false claims of voter fraud and his GOP supporters in the states now passing voter suppression laws share the same goal -- the denigration of the US democratic system.

The readiness of the former President's men to use Russian misinformation in 2020 -- while denying collusion in 2016 -- was but one prong of the assault on the integrity of US elections. After all, it came as Trump was challenging democratic customs that form the bedrock of American freedoms.

He spent months seeking to discredit the fairness of the vote -- the sacred core of US democracy -- to hedge against his eventual loss. He later denied his fair-and-square defeat, incited the deadly US Capitol insurrection -- which sought to disrupt Biden's transition to power -- and is using his sway over his party to force future Republican candidates to sign up to his big lie of widespread voter fraud.

Thus, the candidate who Moscow helped to win the 2016 election had four years later become the primary destructive force aimed at US democracy.

It ought to be concerning that the sentiments of many Republicans who falsely decry the fairness of the current US electoral system appear to coincide with those of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ultimately, the most alarming implication of the release of Tuesday's report is that it may not be necessary for Russia to interfere in the 2024 presidential election in the same way as in 2016 and 2020.

From Trump's lies about a stolen second term to claims by some Republican governors that making it harder to vote makes an election more democratic, some Americans are already doing far more themselves to damage the US system than Moscow can.

American Nazi Party (ANP) is an American neo-Nazi political party founded by George Lincoln Rockwell and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Rockwell founded the organization as the World Union of Free Enterprise National Socialists (WUFENS), but renamed it the American Nazi Party in 1960

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nazi_Party

Fascism in North America is composed of a set of related political movements in Canada, the United States, Mexico and elsewhere that are variants of fascism. Fascist movements in North America never realized power, unlike their counterparts in Europe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism_in_North_America
Fascism has also been a rare feature of politics in this region, not only for the same reasons as those in Central America but also due to the continuation of colonialism well after the main era of fascism in much of the area. However Falangist movements have been active in Cuba, notably under Antonio Avendaño and Alfonso Serrano Vilariño from 1936 to 1940. A Cuban Nazi party was also active but this group, which attempted to change its name to the 'Fifth Column Party' was banned in 1941. As in Cuba, Falangist groups have been active in Puerto Rico, especially during World War II, when an 8000 strong branch came under FBI scrutiny.

The dominance of right-wing politics in Central America by populism and the military has meant that there has been little space for the development of proper fascist movements. The Central American leader who came closest to being an important domestic fascist was Arnulfo Arias of Panama who, during the 1940s, became a strong admirer of Italian fascism and advocated it following his ascension to the presidency in 1940.

Ernst Zündel (April 24, 1939 - August 5, 2017) was born in Germany in 1939. At age 19, he moved to Canada where he worked as a photographer and artist. He quickly became Canada's leading “Holocaust-denial propagandist.”

The Ku Klux Klan is an organization that expanded operations into Canada, based on the second Ku Klux Klan established in the United States in 1915. It operated as a fraternity, with chapters established in parts of Canada throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. The first registered provincial chapter was registered in Toronto in 1925 by two Americans and a Torontonian. The organization was most successful in Saskatchewan, where it briefly influenced political activity and whose membership included a member of Parliament, Walter Davy Cowan.

Fascism in Canada (French: Fascisme au Canada) consists of a variety of movements and political parties in Canada during the 20th century. Largely a fringe ideology, fascism has never commanded a large following amongst the Canadian people, and was most popular during the Great Depression. Most Canadian fascist leaders were interned at the outbreak of World War II under the Defence of Canada Regulations and in the post-war period, fascism never recovered its former small influence.

You've got to prioritize what the problems are.


As long as there is tens of millions of unsolicited mail-in ballots being sent out with zero possible checks to make sure that any of them are legitimate, you don't even need computers to rig the election process.

Then you have time to call prosecutors and tell them that you will kill yourself unless reaverfan is prosecuted for telling you to kill yourself. And while you are at, demand that mail-in ballots be outlawed or else you will kill yourself:

National Vote by Mail Trends 2008-2018
The number of by-mail ballots sent to voters nationally increased from 28.5 million to 42.4 million between 2008 and 2018, while returned ballots rose from 23.1 million to 30.4 million.

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

By William Saletan March 18, 2021 12:07 PM

Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That's been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community's assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form on Tuesday, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump's administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset.

The report debunks conspiracy theories, promoted by Trump and his lawyers, that hackers in other countries robbed him of victory. "We have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to interfere in the 2020 US elections by altering any technical aspect of the voting process,” including "ballot casting, vote tabulation, or reporting results,” says the document. A separate analysis released by the Department of Justice reaches the same conclusion. The IC report adds that evidence of such operations, if they existed, would have shown up in U.S. surveillance or in "post-election audits of electronic results and paper backups.” The report implicitly mocks insinuations from Trump's lawyers that former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, somehow rigged Trump's defeat. "We have no information," it notes drily, that "current or former Venezuelan regimes were involved in attempts to compromise US election infrastructure."

The GOP Is a Modern-Day Death Cult and Proud Of It
They have a satanic logo and openly celebrate racism & death
https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-gop-is-a-modern-day-death-cult

A new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine has found that while the first cases of Covid appeared in states with Democratic governors (New York, New Jersey, Washington), states with Republican governors have had a whole lot more death over the full course of this pandemic.

The study confirms common sense. When GOP governors defy simple, common-sense rules like wearing masks or avoiding dense crowds, pretty much the only logical conclusion one can draw is that they’re trying to “thin out the herd” in their state, killing off those expensive Social Security/Medicare users and the state’s “less productive” disabled, diabetic or obese people.

It’s as if the GOP has become a cult that celebrates death and destruction.

Why else would George W. Bush and Dick Cheney lie us into two unnecessary wars? Mullah Omar, who ran Afghanistan, offered to arrest Bin Laden for us, and Bush turned him down, choosing instead to kill hundreds of thousands of people. “Earlier this month, President Bush summarily rejected another Taliban offer to give up bin Laden to a neutral third country,” wrote The Washington Post on October 29, 2001.

And even the UN was telling the world that Saddam had no WMD and no interest in attacking anybody (he was deep into writing a 3-book romance trilogy based on Alladin). But Bush and Cheney wanted a million dead Iraqis, too, it appears, after his father’s war and the subsequent sanctions had killed over a half-million Iraqi children long before 9/11. Death cult.

And why would they sanction – hell, celebrate – torturing innocent people to the point of death…and then have the CIA destroy the videotaped evidence? The easiest answer is that they’re a death cult.

Why did Trump hide for months the fact that he and his wife got a Covid vaccine while in the White House? Why do GOP members of Congress like Rand Paul, and GOP-leaning media like Fox’s Tucker Carlson openly push vaccine skepticism when the vaccine simply prevents people from dying? Death cult.

Why did the Trump administration let kids die – several did – or be emotionally wounded for the rest of their lives just because their parents were fleeing death at the hands of Central American drug gangs? “At least seven children are known to have died in immigration custody since last year, after almost a decade in which no child reportedly died while in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection,” reported NBC News in May of 2019. Death cult.

Why would Republicans spend an entire decade trying to take away American’s healthcare? Why won’t most Red State governors even expand Medicaid to this day, when the Feds will pay for most all of it? Why do they cut food stamps and aid to pregnant women to the bone? Why would Mitch and his buddies go to the mat to try to block $1400 payments to families on the edge of homelessness? Death cult.

Every nine seconds in the United States a woman is beaten by her domestic partner, and three die every day at their partners’ hands, but 172 Republicans yesterday voted not to re-authorize the Violence Against Women Act. Similarly, why would a dozen Republican members of the House of Representatives vote against giving a Congressional Gold Medal to the Capitol Police after a Republican mob murdered one of them? Death cult.

They promote racist slurs like “Kung Flu” — most recently used by Trump just a few days ago — and when white men harass and kill Asian women, Republicans dismiss it as “an outlier.” Death cult.

Should the Olympic committee just do away with the current medal system and give everyone a gold medal just for participating?

Do you even listen to yourself?



They should all be fired for being terrible at their jobs.

Once again, false equivalence.

The recent Covid bill was 90% bullshit not at all related to helping people during the crisis that Democrats inflicted on the country this last year.

$1,400 and the rest of the stuff you mentioned is freakin' peanuts.

Only low-IQ morons actually believe that Republicans were blocking aid to people that need it and weren't trying to block all of the bullshit that Democrats just got away with.


There's plenty of reasons to fire every single member of Congress on both sides of the aisles without you needing to make up bullshit.

These are not normal times, and the Republican Party is not a normal political party. Already, Trumpist Republicans are trying to gaslight Americans, saying what they saw on January 6 was not what actually happened. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin described the domestic terrorists whose riot caused five deaths and scores of injuries this way: "I knew these were people who love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law."

This is how completely Trumpian dishonesty has come to dominate the GOP. Those who attack our Capitol with pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails, a spear, tasers and bear spray are described as "people who love this country." Three Capitol Police officers are dead, (two by suicide) and 140 officers are injured, by people "that truly respect law enforcement." More than 300 people have been charged with federal offenses -- but they "would never do anything to break the law."

It has become commonplace to label bald-faced lies as "Orwellian", after the author of 1984, where Big Brother gave us Newspeak in which "War is Peace" and "Ignorance is Strength." But perhaps we need to update that label. In the 21st century, to lie so obviously, so blatantly, so incontrovertibly is, simply, Trumpian.

It is odd, perhaps, that President Bush, a politician who so frequently found himself pinned to the mat by the English language, would emerge now as a beacon of clarity. The man who once asked, "Is our children learning?" has given the world the two short phrases that perfectly bracket the Trump era, from its bizarre beginning to disgraceful conclusion. In the moments after Trump finished his dark and florid Inaugural Address, Bush reportedly captured the moment in five words: "That was some weird s--t."

Four long years later, Bush summed up the reaction to the attack on our Capitol — or at least the reaction of all decent, patriotic Americans — in just six words, as evocative as they are accurate: "I was sick to my stomach."

Tucker Carlson Accidentally Reveals White National Master Plan

There have been many "Tuckers" doing this work:

Karen Stenner, a behavioral economist who began researching personality traits two decades ago, has argued that about a third of the population in any country has what she calls an authoritarian predisposition, a word that is more useful than personality, because it is less rigid. An authoritarian predisposition, one that favors homogeneity and order, can be present without necessarily manifesting itself; its opposite, a “libertarian” predisposition, one that favors diversity and difference, can be silently present too. Stenner’s definition of authoritarianism isn’t political, and it isn’t the same thing as conservatism. Authoritarianism appeals, simply, to people who cannot tolerate complexity: there is nothing intrinsically “left-wing” or “right-wing” about this instinct at all. It is anti-pluralist. It is suspicious of people with different ideas. It is allergic to fierce debates. Whether those who have it ultimately derive their politics from Marxism or nationalism is irrelevant. It is a frame of mind, not a set of ideas.

Here is where Tucker Carlson becomes useful to the GOP:

But theorists often leave out another crucial element in the decline of democracy and the construction of autocracy. The mere existence of people who admire demagogues or feel more comfortable in dictatorships does not fully explain why demagogues win. The dictator wants to rule, but how does he reach that part of the public that feels the same? The illiberal politician wants to undermine courts in order to give himself more power, but how does he persuade voters to accept those changes? In ancient Rome, Caesar had sculptors make multiple versions of his image. No contemporary authoritarian can succeed without the modern equivalent: the writers, intellectuals, pamphleteers, bloggers, spin doctors, producers of television programs, and creators of memes who can sell his image to the public. Authoritarians need the people who will promote the riot or launch the coup. But they also need the people who can use sophisticated legal language, people who can argue that breaking the constitution or twisting the law is the right thing to do. They need people who will give voice to grievances, manipulate discontent, channel anger and fear, and imagine a different future. They need members of the intellectual and educated elite, in other words, who will help them launch a war on the rest of the intellectual and educated elite.

In his 1927 book La trahison des clercs—loosely translated as “The Treason of the Intellectuals”—the French essayist Julien Benda observed and described the authoritarian elites of his time long before anyone else understood how important they were. Anticipating Arendt, his concern was not “authoritarian personalities” as such, but rather the particular people who supported the authoritarianism that he already saw taking both left- and right-wing forms all across Europe. He described both far-right and far-left ideologues who sought to promote either “class passion,” in the form of Soviet Marxism, or “national passion,” in the form of fascism, and accused them both of betraying the central task of the intellectual, the search for truth, in favor of particular political causes. Ten years before Stalin’s Great Terror and six years before Hitler came to power, Benda already feared that the writers, journalists, and essayists who had morphed into political entrepreneurs and propagandists would goad whole civilizations into acts of violence. And so it came to pass.

On January 5, Steve Bannon – the architect of Trump’s political movement – told his podcast audience, “All hell will break loose tomorrow.”

Bannon continued: “So many people said, ‘Man, if I was in a revolution I would be in Washington.’ Well, this is your time in history.”[1]

The next day, pro-Trump, far-right extremists attacked the U.S. Capitol building and tried to stop, on behalf of Donald Trump, the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Bannon seemed to know that something was going to happen. The question, now, is how much he knew – and how deeply he was involved in both the incitement and execution of that attack.

What Bannon said on his podcast was just the tip of the iceberg. Brand new reporting by Right Wing Watch’s Adele M. Stan published in The New Republic details how Bannon’s activities in the weeks leading up to January 6 dovetailed with those of the organizers of the insurrection, and how Bannon’s rhetoric and actions indicate that he could have played a key role in instigating the attack.

Among those playing organizing roles were Bannon associates Jack Posobiec, Raheem Kassam and Ali Alexander, a key “Stop the Steal” organizer, and Bannon solicited donations to the bail fund for Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys who was arrested upon his arrival in D.C. for weapons possession and burning a Black Lives Matter flag. Additionally, Trump’s rhetoric during the January 6 rally on the Ellipse, which jump-started the attack on the Capitol, directly parroted the false claims Bannon had been peddling for weeks on his podcast.

It’s clear that Steve Bannon played a role in the events leading up to the insurrection and we deserve to know the full truth about who was involved.

Oh So Now Doing Insurrection Makes You An "Insurrectionist"


When I petition my government, I usually do so by writing my Congressperson or Senator, occasionally in concert with other like-minded constituents. It never occurs to me to go to their place of work, with weapons, and beat my way to their office, inflicting blunt-force trauma on anyone who stands in my way. Nor do I ever think to bring a noose and gallows with me.

Then again, I don't appear in public with a pistol strapped to my thigh either, so maybe I'm just doing this democracy thing all wrong to begin with.

How ‘Owning the Libs’ Became the GOP’s Core Belief

The weird journey of a tongue-in-cheek catchphrase from conservative-mocking putdown to the defining tenet of the Republican Party’s way of life.

“‘Owning the libs’ is a way of asserting dignity,” says Helen Andrews, senior editor of The American Conservative. “‘The libs,’ as currently constituted, spend a lot of time denigrating and devaluing the dignity of Middle America and conservatives, so fighting back against that is healthy self-assertion; any self-respecting human being would… Stunts, TikTok videos, they energize people, that’s what they’re intended to do.”

“I can envision a time where [pro-Trump Florida Rep.] Matt Gaetz could pin a picture of [Democratic New York Rep.] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to his own crotch, and smash it with a ball-peen hammer, and he’ll think it’s a huge success if 100,000 liberals attack him as an idiot,” says Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the conservative outlet The Dispatch. “It’s a way of taking what the other side criticizes about you and making it into a badge of honor.”

And in a world where polarization driven by social media has equipped every smartphone-wielding American with a hammer, every political dispute looks like a nail.

“It’s a spirit of rebellion against what people see as liberals who are overly sensitive, or are capable of being triggered, or hypocritical,” says Marshall Kosloff, co-host of the podcast “The Realignment,” which analyzes the shifting allegiances of and rise of populist politics. “It basically offers the party a way of resolving the contradictions within a realigning party, that increasingly is appealing to down-market white voters and certain working-class Black and Hispanic voters, but that also has a pretty plutocratic agenda at the policy level.” In other words: Owning the libs offers bread and circuses for the pro-Trump right while Republicans quietly pursue a traditional program of deregulation and tax cuts at the policy level.

To supercharge those distractions, however, was the great innovation of Donald Trump’s presidency: He used the highest platform in the land to play shock jock 24/7, trading the radio booth for his Twitter account — thrilling his supporters by dismaying his foes. The GOP has largely chosen to take his strategy and run with it, betting on a hard-charging, antagonistic rhetorical approach to deliver it back into power in Washington.

What was the “Is Trump a Fascist?” Debate Ultimately About?

by Corey Robin on March 13, 2021

I have a new piece up at The New Yorker. I take stock of the debate over whether Trumpism is an authoritarian/fascist/tyrannical formation.

Throughout the Trump years, I consistently argued that that what I call the strongman thesis (just as a catch-all way of describing the various terms that were used for Trumpism) was not the most helpful way of thinking about what was going on with Trump or on the right. While acknowledging in this piece the data points in favor of that thesis (and also the problems with it), what I am really trying to do here is to step back from that debate and examine what was really driving it.

Long story short: Where liberals and leftists saw power on the right, I saw, and continue to see, paralysis. Not just on the right, in fact, but across the political spectrum. And in an odd way, it was the centuries-long dream of democratic power that helped frame liberals’ and the left’s misunderstanding and misrecognition of that ongoing political paralysis.

As I argue in the piece’s conclusion:

This is the situation we now find ourselves in. One party, representing the popular majority, remains on the outskirts of power, thanks to the Constitution. The other party, representing the minority, cannot wield power when it has it but finds its position protected nonetheless by the very same Constitution.

We are not witnesses to Prometheus unbound. We are seeing the sufferings of Sisyphus, forever rolling his rock — immigration reform, new infrastructure, green jobs — up a hill. It’s no wonder everyone saw an authoritarian at the top of that hill. When no one can act, any performance of power, no matter how empty, can seem real.


Anyway, have a read of the piece at The New Yorker, and after you’re finished, feel free to weigh in here with your criticisms, compliments, queries, and complaints.

The New Yorker article is "Trump and the Trapped Country"
For years, we debated whether Donald Trump would topple democracy. But the threat continues to come from the system itself.
https://web.archive.org/web/20210313172728/https://www.newyorker.com/n
ews/our-columnists/trump-and-the-trapped-country
Quote:

In all likelihood, the first two years of the Biden Administration will see little transformative legislation and a lot of executive orders. (The stimulus bill may augur fundamental changes down the road, but its most redistributive provisions are temporary and will face major challenges upon their expiration.) It will look, in other words, like Trump’s Presidency and all but the first two years of Obama’s. It will mark twelve years of an era in which the call of the voters is answered by the palsy of our institutions.

The possibility of this convergence across three Presidencies—where a flurry of executive orders masks the failure of legislative will, and the absence of legislative will belies the presence of a majority will—offers a novel twist on the strongman thesis. In retrospect, the theory appears useful not for what it helped us to see but for what it prevented us from seeing. Behind its shadows is a reality we’ve been facing for some time: not the concentration of power in the hands of one person, but the dispersal of power across the polity; not the conversion of popular preferences into partisan will, but the inability of parties to legislate those preferences; not the threat of a tyrannical white majority to the Constitution, but the way in which a minority of mostly white voters depends upon the Constitution to stop the multiracial majority.

It is about Trumptards "owning" the Libtards in the sense of winning an imaginary game that goes on only inside a Trumptard's head. The real game that involves owning about 75% of all the wealth, the GDP, and income in America is being won by Libtards, which is why white trash Trumptards are angry. They will stay angry until they think they are getting their fair share. Trumptards shouldn't be angry. They're getting more than their fair share because the Libtards are trying to pacify the crazy Trumptards, none of whom are worth what they are paid. But Trumptards think of themselves as uniquely irreplaceable when they are merely interchangeable. If you have routine jobs that can be done by the mediocre, hire Trumptards. Beware if you do. The Trumptards will steal from you because they think of themselves as underpaid when they should be thankful for being overpaid compared to what they actually accomplish on the job.

This is for you: If you have routine jobs that can be done by the mediocre, hire Trumptards. Beware if you do. The Trumptards will steal from you because they think of themselves as underpaid when they should be thankful for being overpaid compared to what they actually accomplish on the job.

REAVERFAN



Imagine manufacturing an entire education curriculum with the intention of purposely painting a specific narrative of history, and then turning around and saying "facts don't care about your feelings."

"Patriotic education" which, not surprisingly, is a revisionist pack of lies.

Leave it to the trumptard Nazis to lie to kids.

Sure thing, Marcos.

Fuck your NYT pack of racist lies and revisionist history they've been trying to push for years now.

You are the most racist person I have ever had the displeasure of knowing.
