(82,849 posts)Remember that this chowderhead is still your neighbor, and you may be living next to each other for some time. Lead him up to the edge, and let him draw the right conclusion. Maybe start with, "Wow, what do you suppose they were thinking? Hiring a National Security Adviser without digging into his activities after getting fired by the Obama administration!" Let him try to make the case for hiring Flynn (if he can), but invite him to be critical of the Trump administration and its slipshod ways.

(12,841 posts)But you cannot talk reasoning or logic I have tried. When al franken asked mr clapper have you ever appeared on RT , I mentioned this to him awhile ago perhaps around March I said how many retired American officers have you seen on RT., I said it smells and just does not add up.

(82,849 posts)I don't doubt it for an instant. He's probably ultra-sensitive to being threatened, or anything that appears to be a threat. You asked "How many retired American officers have you seen on RT?" I'd bet a nickel he heard that as a challenge. "I wonder how often RT hosts retired American officers on their programs? I don't suppose it's a lot." A relatively more neutral statement might get his brain engaged before the more primitive stimulus-response reaction of a perceived threat.
But I dunno.

(13,081 posts)From what I remember:
East Africans, like the Ma'asai, are technically Caucasian, bone structure (and everything else)-wise, although "they" have more melanin than whites. The "important" thing is that "they" aren't "negroes."
Damn, that's a lot of ironic quotes.
I'm not, nor have ever been, a racist. Even mildly sympathetic. I swear. I "learned" all of this while attending militia meetings in the early 90s.
Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds terrible, too. I swear: we only went to those meetings because my friend's parents ran things. We liked to get high and giggle in back. Art Bell was there, too, sometimes. That sounds slightly less terrible.

(20,577 posts)about it coming from racist science. I already knew he was a racist. One time he told me when he lived in LA, the black people sent bus loads of kids into the white neighborhoods for Halloween. I asked him where they got busses to do something like that. He about went nuts.
Funny about the meetings. I attended a militia meeting in our town too. My friend and I wanted to know what they were up to. We also wanted to know who was there as well. I had cut out Star of David paper we could pin on, but my friend wouldn't do it. The guest speaker was arrested by the FBI a few days later for weapons violations and other things. To be honest, they weren't quite as bad as Rump and his gang now!
