old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

Enough with the rationalizations and excuses: the Nazi salute is not a troll, and it is not an accident. The neo-Nazi movement is alive and well, and some of the most powerful people in our country have now actively embraced it.

I'm very interested to know what someone thinks is going to happen when they say "civil war" or "secession" or "revolution is coming" etc. Exactly what do they think is going to happen? I'm keen to know the details.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
