This week’s attack on the Jewish community is part of America’s ancient tradition of anti-semitism, which a surprising number of modern Republicans have quietly adopted into their platform.

Unknown to this point; so far it doesn’t look like she actually exists.
I’m sort of surprised, the LA Times and OC Register (with a very libertarian bent on their editorial page) are pretty well aligned on the statewide endorsements. They agree on 5 of 8 statewide offices, with the Register endorsing incumbent Democrats over challenging Republicans. Though they do go the opposite way on all but one ballot initiative (there’s 11 this year, and the Register hasn’t weighed in on three of them yet).

And, over at Tigerbeat on the Potomac (h/t Charlie Pierce), they’ve conflated a letter from the Black Caucus that states:
...I’d like to reiterate that if there is any change in our top leadership positions the Democratic Members of the CBC endorse African-American representation in at least one of the two top positions of elected House Democratic Caucus leadership.”
and turned it into a headline and lede that says:
Black Caucus threatens fight over House leadership if Democrats win
In a move that could set off a nasty internal fight, the Congressional Black Caucus — a key voting bloc among House Democrats — is demanding that an African-American lawmaker hold one of the top two leadership posts if Democrats win the House on Election Day.

re: #153 Eclectic Cyborg
What the fucking hell is that?
Washington state Representative Matt Shea has taken credit of a manifesto of sorts titled “Biblical Basis for War” that outlines a coming holy war, a battle that would require killing any non-Christian who does not “yield.”
The document, which Shea apparently hands out to some folks, was leaked online and on Wednesday the Republican politician took credit for it.
The manifesto lays out the rules of the coming holy war—a war that would be revealed by God—as well as numerous other rules and laws in bullet points.

I’m starting to wonder if making huge amounts of money fast and easily leads to some kind of mental illness. They begin to think they are superhuman and all sense of balance and morals seem to go out the window when the arrogance enters.

Yes. Yes it does.
Trump says he has told US officers at the border that, if migrants throw rocks, “Consider it a rifle.” He’s saying, obviously, that he wants rock-throwers shot.

As you know, I long warn of the worldview collapse that is going on.
One thing that is happening, I propose, is that people whose traditional religion has fallen are looking for substitutes.
And some weird shit is popping up as the substitutes.

re: #172 jaunte
Why is Trump talking about stone-throwing migrants in the first place? I don’t recall any incidents of violent migrants forcing themselves into this country. It’s amazing what Trump will do to rally his racist base.

Mattis was also on the Board of the fraudulent blood testing company, Theranos. So it appears that he is as corrupt as any other Trump official, as well as being complicit in Trump’s authoritarianism.
