WW2 caused an aberration in American politics where fascism, and literal nazi's, were shunned for generations. But there were violent anti-labor groups active in American prior to WW2. There were pro-Hitler rallies in America prior to the US entering WW2. Extreme right wingers have always been a part of American history. It just took 60 years for them to overcome the natural repugnance caused by WW2 and start openly proliferating again.

    I too would like to sue the advertisers for boycotting my Breaking Bad erotic fan fiction page. That includes you Musk. I expect Twitter to start sending the checks next month. Or I guess I'll see you in court.

    He's still going to be representing the team in the next competition. You guys need to make sure your government knows it's not ok to send child groomer rapists onto the world stage to represent you. And his teammates seem to be ok with playing aside him again.

    “If I can speak for him, after the match we lost, we were disappointed,” Immers said of his teammate Van de Velde. “But we said to each other: ‘Look what we did together. Look how hard we fought with all the attention.’ We stayed together. We cried together off the field and said, ‘OK, let’s just enjoy this moment.’ And we did that. So I’m happy we did it that way.”

    Van de Velde and Immers will play together next in the European championships in the Netherlands right after the Olympics, and then the Dutch championships.

    Sorry, but this is kind of fucked up. No offense to you personally, but my opinion of the Dutch just took a nosedive.

    The religious one is the worst. Just a bunch of hucksters and frauds worshiping an amoral con man. What's with the weird touching? Is this some laying on of hands thing? Or do they just want to touch the golden calf for good luck?
