    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

    • 'Racist message drowned out'

      At the scene: Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News, Washington

      As a small group of white supremacists gathered for their second "Unite the Right" rally, the rain began to fall.

      Much like the sodden pavements outside the White House, the follow up to last year's rally in Charlottesville was nothing more than a damp squib.

        US House member Chris Collins (NY-R) was indicted and arrested on insider trading charges in a case spearheaded by the FBI. This could blow open a conservative district (much like what happened for Conor Lamb). A scandal can cause a 10-12% flip according to FiveThirtyEight. The democrats are already pouncing on this pushing Nate McMurray to take the seat.

        This could also damage other republicans in nearby areas.

        I swear if more republicans were under investigation they would be facing prison time. Scandals like this will cause republicans serious trouble in the midterms. Seems like the FBI will have the last laugh over the Trump controlled GOP.

          Yes, drowned out by the message "white supremacist USA."

          • Words of wisdom ...
            Today, we have cat mom busybodies on Left-wing blogs scouring satire for incendiary quotes they can take out of context. They are supported by race-hustling globalists such as the SPLC, Hope Not Hate, and the ADL. They’re all Bigfoot chasers pretending Nazis lie await around every corner. The civil rights fakers get paid millions. The cat moms get forty bucks. Yet, both are equally driven to “smash the patriarchy” and destroy the West, even if that means cheating and lying to make it so.

              JR is defending the beings that I claim exist.

          • Kidiot back at it. When these alt right fascists announce their support of fascism, chances are they fascists. You know the saying if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's most likely a duck?

            • Psycho commie ethics professor that got busted hitting Trump supporters on the head with a bike lock gets off on probation. He indoctrinates his little twits into believing that using violence isn't immoral because that's what Trump says.

                    So yesterday the Toronto police spent 3 hours guarding a site booked by anti-immigration types in solidarity with the Unite the Right march in Washington. A counter demonstration surrounded the empty square.

                    So white they were translucent.
                    None of the Canadian Unite the Righters showed up... the police stayed on duty just in case...

                  Technically he said there were good people on both sides. Honestly, I doubt he is a neo-Nazi though he is definitely trying to play the dog whostle game (very hard) and he still is with his condemning "all kinds of racism". And while I do agree any group can be racist the right does try to play up the anti-white racism angle almost to the absurd.

                  I do wish the left would be smarter than that and stop playing the identity card so hard. They could lead by action and not fall into obvious pitfalls.

                  • Encouraging involvement is what the left is doing now. They are taking actual political action and are pushing a unprecedented number of candidates. I still remember that state assembly race in Virginia which saw a democrat beat a long time republican. That Democrat calls himself socialist.
