Pssst, conservatives? It's already too late. And this op-ed is a good example of why - still ludicrously trying to complain about being falsely accused.

Opinion: The GOP must stamp out the seeds of hatred before it’s too late washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
"The left has wrongly tarred conservatives as racists for decades."

LOL. Please.
Conservatives put a blatant racist and white supremacist in the White House, and they support what he's doing overwhelmingly. But still they whine about being "wrongly tarred" as racists. Give me a fucking break.

There's actually no "punishment" involved in a censure. It's a public reprimand, nothing more - a slap on the wrist. It won't change the fact that a sitting Congressman is an overt white supremacist.
The US Constitution allows Congress to expel members, too. But that's never going to happen because the GOP needs their white supremacists.
Sorry, but when a white supremacist is a member of Congress, "censuring" him is weak and meaningless.

Even if every Republican politician were to come out and denounce Steve King, their empty words will never remove the stink of white supremacism now. If nothing else, the Trump era has ripped the masks off. We see you now. Words won’t fix it.
If Republicans wanted to show they were not the party of racism, they had a great chance to do that.

In 2016.

They could have voted to stop Donald Trump.

They didn't.
It's always good to see conservatives speak out against Trump, or people like Steve King. But why do so many of them blow it by whining about being "falsely accused," or constructing dumbass tortured arguments that try to blame Trump on liberals who were too mean?

They know it's a fake. But they're pushing it out to the right wing cult anyway because they also know the hordes of wingnut parrots will take it as real and circulate it endlessly.
One of the biggest reasons why sites like Breitbart and the Daily Caller and Gateway Pundit exist is to organize harassment campaigns against enemies of the right wing agenda.
And then there are the real bottom feeders like Twitchy, a wretched sewer whose ONLY purpose for existing is to incite harassment.

A couple of not-altogether-random thoughts:
- The constant complaint that "left-of-centre" values are now -unfairly, yet- prevalent over "conservative" ones may well be inaccurate, given the longtime deliberate strategy in some quarters to shift public perception of "centre" /1
dramatically rightwards. For example, the Republicans of today would consider that President Eisenhower was "dangerously liberal" for his fight against fascism and for decent lives for the poor. Americans generally still agree with Ike, though the Tea Party movement shifted the/2
#GOP's position further rightward; a resurgent racist, pro-fascism element is adding its pressure to that of the "1%" donor class to go even further into fullblown authoritarianism. That is, their new "centre" was what the 1950s called rightwing extremism. But most Americans /3

According to #Democrats, ALL women are always to be believed, whether there's evidence to support their claim OR NOT.

Let's see how right they are in this THREAD.

Morning all: If you're looking for links to watch this morning's testimony, start here.

Candidly: we're not off to a good start. Clear bias as Grassley opens by stating there wasn't a "whiff" of allegations when Kavanaugh was investigated by the FBI, and scolds Feinstein for not revealing the letter. In front of Dr. Ford.

Please call your Senators. (202) 224-3121.

@bbc_thismorning
This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

So, Dimitri Simes is the President of The Center for the National Interest (formerly known as The Nixon Center) and has been since the group was founded in 1994.

This event in April 2016 was at the Mayflower Hotel. cc @LincolnsBible @ericgarland
2/ This event:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions appeared to waver when asked by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday if he met privately with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during an event at the Mayflower Hotel last year."

3/ Remember this too? Dimitri Simes was briefing Dole on Gorbachev the same year Trump first visited Russia (1987).
