http://www.nationalreview.com/article/441319/donald-trump-alt-right-internet-abuse-never-trump-movement

I distinctly remember the first time I saw a picture of my then-seven-year-old daughter’s face in a gas chamber. It was the evening of September 17, 2015. I had just posted a short item to the Corner calling out notorious Trump ally Ann Coulter for aping the white-nationalist language and rhetoric of the so-called alt-right. Within minutes, the tweets came flooding in. My youngest daughter is African American, adopted from Ethiopia, and in alt-right circles that’s an unforgivable sin. It’s called “race-cucking” or “raising the enemy.”

I saw images of my daughter’s face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her. I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a “niglet” and a “dindu.” The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with “black bucks.” People sent her pornographic images of black men having sex with white women, with someone photoshopped to look like me, watching.

When we both publicized some of the racist attacks — I in National Review and Nancy in the Washington Post — things took a far more ominous turn. Late the next evening — while Nancy was, fortunately, offline attending a veterans’ charity event in D.C. — the darker quarters of the alt-right found her Patheos blog. Several different accounts began posting images and GIFs of extreme violence in her comments section.

Tempted to post that to my facebook feed, but I have so few pro-Trump people on there now I will probably just leave well enough alone.

I'm down to a handful (who openly admit to it at least) but I posted anyway. I figure that some of my friends can share it and spread the word that way.

My brother-in-law "likes" Milo Yiannopoulos's FB page and regularly shares crap from alt-right sites. I doubt anecdotes about Trumpers acting like racist lunatics would sway him in the least anyway.

All he did was say out loud what his rivals were trying to convey with dog whistles, which explains why they were so ineffective in opposing him.


spot on

Sarah Palin was apparently Trump's guest at the debate the other night. We've thankfully gotten to a point now where the media couldn't give two shits. I don't think they showed her once.

She lost her primary earlier this year so needs something to do in January

President of the European Green Party going after Jill Stein.

Dr. Jill Stein ‏@DrJillStein
Hillary Clinton's foreign policy is much scarier than Donald Trump's, who does not want to go to war with Russia. #PeaceOffensive


Rebecca Harms ‏@RebHarms
@DrJillStein on which orbit are you living? Have you ever replied to the letter by Russian Greens? @greenpartyrus @GreenPartyUS


Dr. Jill Stein ‏@DrJillStein
@RebHarms @greenpartyrus @GreenPartyUS Yes. Seems few heard, b/c media ignored it and continued to misinform people.


Rebecca Harms @RebHarms
@DrJillStein I'm scared by @GreenPartyUS simply ignoring aggressive Kremlin strategy & prefering Trump to Clinton @greenpartyrus

I know many see Rubio as some kind of gifted politician who is the future of the Republican party, but the guy is kind of a sucky politician if you ask me. He lost to Trump, and now he's having trouble with Murphy, who is hardly anyone's idea of a formidable candidate. I suppose Trump is causing some problems for him, but he is an incumbent.

I would guess he'll keep his Senate seat (though what kind of turnout operation does he have?) but I think he's pretty much done as legitimate Presidential candidate.

Rubio is the best, and will be a frontrunner in 2020 if he wins in 18 days. I didn't want him to run for reelection because was afraid Trump would lose Florida by enough that he'd get swept away. At this point it could still happen, but he seems more likely than not to win. Would suggest you're about as well off to take what robocallers are finding as a chimp throwing darts at the polling average. Rubio is running a lot more than four points ahead of Trump, but I also think Trump is losing Florida by more than four points right now so lots going on in that poll that probably isn't true, some good for Rubio's chances some not.

I wouldn't disagree that he's a likely future GOP presidential candidate, but only because the GOP only has a bunch of Dale Sveum's on their bench. He got humiliated and dressed down by Christie so thoroughly in a debate that you could say he lost any chance of winning the GOP nomination that night. not very presidential imo.
