she’s a good debater – charismatic, dexterous, always ready with a talking point or quip. She also has an occasional, uncanny ability to sense political undercurrents that others miss

if Democrats have their way, Coulter claimed, they will add up to 30 million new voters to the rolls – overwhelmingly dependent on big government and loyal to the Democratic party. In other words, liberal elites support mass immigration because they are thumbing the scale of democracy itself.

Why the fuck is anyone giving breathing space to Ann Coulter?

Liberal centrists have to believe it. They have to believe their sensibleness and fairness will render the fascist right so obviously wrong that the audience will side against them. They have to believe that because they have no other solution to it, and ultimately they fear the genuine norm-breaking that socialism represents more. It’s an ideology of no ideology.

are they basing that claim of people using their trans status to abuse women on any evidence? i see it everywhere

I’m quitting Facebook, and this is the straw that broke the camel’s back!

I mean, you could have harnessed government to the cause of progress and optimism I guess.

This is the end of it for me. Absolutely one of the most disgusting things I’ve even seen in the national press.

I’ve seen at least 6 different journalists, two of whom are at the Guardian, trying to pin the Pittsburgh shooting on Corbyn.
