BREAKING: In abrupt turn, Trump admonishes “alt-left” for violence at Charlottesville, defends racists
- At a scheduled appearance from Trump Tower in New York City, Trump went off-script to defend right-wing demonstrators and rebuke what he termed “alt-left” for its role in the violence in Charlottesville.
- “What about the alt-left that came charging at the alt-right?” Trump said of the counter-protesters with “black outfits and baseball bats” at the Unite the Right white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
- “What about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands? Do they have a problem? I think they do.”
- Trump defended the Unite the Right rally’s decision to gather in protest of the removal of Confederate monuments, suggesting that this was a slippery slope to toppling statues of founding fathers and slave owners George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Read more (8/15/17 4:45 PM

This recording of an episode with spirit fusion goes exactly in the direction you’d think it’d would (thank you Jello for putting up with our shenanigans)
Literal segregation in 2017. I didn’t think we were living in the freakin 60s! And the restaurant is racist doing that! I’m so sick of this!
!!!!
That’s my buddy Mike.
For those who need context, that’s Mike Godwin, who coined the first widespread “law” of the Internet (appropriately named Godwin’s Law). The law states, “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches 1.” It was meant to point out how poorly discussions on Usenet threads tended to fare after they’d been going for a while because eventually someone invoked Hitler or the Nazis. The discussions could be about any topic: computer code, or types of cheese, or a television show–it didn’t matter; eventually, someone would say that the people on the other side of the discussion, or the subject of the discussion, was “just like Hitler.” At that point, thanks to The burgeoning fame of Mike’s new law, people could point out how ridiculous the argument had become (e.g. no, George Lucas was not a Nazi just because he didn’t want people to write Star Wars slash fiction), and once that happened, the argument was over, and the party or parties who had brought up Hitler lost by default.
Godwin’s Law has been the definitive “last word” on Internet discussions since it was coined in 1990. But here is Mike Godwin himself, pointing out that we now live in a world where contemporary global sociopolitical discussion is exempt from his law.
I wish I could laugh.
I feel like this image would cause the universe to implode, yet here we are
i fucking hate family guys art style because every single goddamn time every person looks the exact same as one another but you can still tell exactly who they are while theyre somehow simultaneously looking nothing like the people theyre trying to represent fucking liminal space art style what the fuck
let me guess what the gag is. the show plays and either one person watching it does forced laughter or its so unfunny that someone dies.
