Calmer than you, dude. Atheist. Friend of Riverside Cemetery. Curious about things. That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

A really good report on what’s keeping, at least in part, grocery prices high. Hint: corporations conspiring and Trump’s trade commission looking the other way.

Not only does it appear this man has never been asked to explain his views on white nationalism before, it appears he has never actually even thought about it and that it’s just something he accepts without having to understand what it means.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
