From making the Oculus Rift to going hard right and leaving to start a defense contracting company to going build border surveillance towers to building drones to the U.S. military to cheering on the death of "those who truly deserve it," it's been a journey for this guy.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

People do not understand how men who are white supremacists can have wives who are women of color and I need folks to realize that those men see their wives as subordinate property and not equals. These men are foaming at the mouth to bring back quadroon balls.

It was a big mistake that politicians and civic leaders haven’t been uniformly insistent about prosecuting ICE and others involved in this ethic cleansing campaign. They know what they’re doing is illegal (why else wear masks and scrub tail numbers off planes?) and they’re afraid of consequences.
