I am exhausted and stressed. Every day we battle same shit normal day, That is OK. But our same shit normal day is compounded to a ridiculous degree right now. You have Trump. We have Brexit and Trump. NOISE. RACKET. CHAOS. HATE. IDIOTS. DANGER.
ALL of this is a danger to all of us. How we react, the anger and stress we feel can make for emotional thinking and how we react to our circumstances. Rational thought and fact driven arguments is key. However, when they have ground us down with their nonsense, we need to check in. We are right. They are wrong. We cannot let the racket drown out our righteousness.
We need to make sure our mental armour is titanium. There is no other option. So check your mental health on this cause this shit is about to get REALLY serious.
Only in America
Yes. This. Lone wolf not terrorist. Excuses and attempts to game the system when white supremacists commit acts of terror.

Pelosi: 'I don't trust Barr; I trust Mueller'
Source: Associated Press
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday she doesn’t trust Attorney General William Barr and suggested his statement that he believes President Donald Trump’s campaign was spied on undermines Barr’s independence as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
The California Democrat said in an interview with The Associated Press she was “very concerned” about Barr’s handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation report and accused Barr doing Trump’s political bidding.
“He is not the attorney general of Donald Trump. He is the attorney general of the United States,” Pelosi told AP. “I don’t trust Barr, I trust Mueller.”

Exactly this
The terrifying rehabilitation of Nazi scholar Carl Schmitt
This rallying fantasy is innate to nationalist movements. Immigration is relayed in the language of “invasion.” Internal opponents are attacked on the grounds of “treason.” Other enemies, including leftists and minorities, are construed as wanting to wreck the nation. In Hungary, the name of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s party Fidesz evokes the Latin fides, fidelity, or loyalty. At Jair Bolsonaro’s inauguration, the former military captain held up a Brazilian flag and declared that it would “never be red, unless our blood is needed to keep it yellow and green.” It’s not only Brexiteers who have war in their dreaming.
In a world where strong social bonds and feelings of belonging are elusive, the psychological certainties of war offer perverse relief. Schmitt saw a similar alienation plaguing his own era. His belief that liberalism was to blame has always resonated with left-wing thinkers, from Walter Benjamin to Slavoj Zizek. He praised Marx for his “mighty friend-enemy grouping” between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. But his focus on foreign threats has ensured that Schmitt’s natural heirs are almost all on the right.

If calling out Stephen Miller is antisemitic then I'm Himmler.

Rep. Ilhan Omar called Stephen Miller a "white nationalist." GOP critics accused her of anti-Semitism.
heh
And Now, A Congressional Hearing On White Nationalism, Starring Candace Owens
Why was Candace Owens there? Well, apparently she was invited by the GOP to sit there and explain to everyone that rightwing extremism is not actually problem, and that all of the real racism comes from the Left. Also invited by the House Republicans was Morton Klein, the head of the right-wing Zionists Organization of America, who tried to claim in his opening statement that all the "real" anti-Semitism was actually coming from Ilhan Omar and pro-Palestinian student groups on campus. He also claimed that the New Zealand shooter was actually a left-wing terrorist. He was a real peach.
In her opening statement, Owens noted that she was a victim of a hate crime when she was in high school, and that the "liberal media" never brings this up when discussing all of the stupid things she says and does now. I actually believe I have mentioned that before, along with the fact that she stopped identifying as a liberal right around the time that she tried to start a website called "Social Autopsy," the purpose of which was to doxx Gamergate bullies. Owens was warned that this was a bad idea by lots of people who had already been victimized by the movement, and when she was harassed by Gamergate trolls, claimed that it was actually the anti-Gamergate people harassing her, and then joined Gamergate herself. We're all up on your history, Candace, no need to worry.
