At the Clear Speech Café...
... you can be as subtle as you like.
Meade took those photos today on University Avenue — the main thoroughfare on the West Side of Madison.

So is that guy a Nazi who was using the other side of the board as camouflage?
Starting to see how the white supremacist infiltrators are so easily getting through the security checkpoints!
Try that with Biden vice Trump and see how quick you get your axx kicked by a peaceful antifa blm protestor.
I think he drew the swastikas wrong.
Come on, tell us what you really think.

Good for you, buddy. Voice your opinion. It's a free country.
I look forward to your support when I carry the same sign about Vice President Harris.
See, the problem is less the Nicholas Durantys of the world than it is the collaborator Republican establishment and faux "conservative" shits who know better and are all too willing to fuck everyone in the ass just out of hubris and spite.
That's why some of us went so nuts over the types of Romney and McCain and now punks like Bill Kristol and Jonah Goldberg and Matt Drudge, et al.
I tried to cancel my digital subscription to the NY Times, yesterday. You cannot do it online. You have to either engage with a representative via chat or on a phone call. After waiting 40 minutes on chat, I decided to call. 35 minutes later, a person took my call, and I cancelled. The chat representative came after I was done with the phone call. Even though my subscription ends January 2021, they terminate your subscription immediately and claim to send a refund (we'll see when or if that arrives). Clearly, this is an unethical business practice borne of greed, hoping to wear down anyone who wants to cancel their subscription. You have no choice to have your subscription auto-renew so they are clearly rigging the process.
But I got my revenge. When I logged onto the NY Times today, I was blocked from reading articles. Because I use a VPN that cloaks my IP Address, I was prompted for a special $1/month International introductory subscription that jumps up to $8/month in one year. Far less than the $145/year I was paying before. The VPN confuses them regarding country of origin so voila!
I recommend exposing the public to the outrageous, unethical business practices of the NY Times and then asking why they charge foreigners less than American readers.
It is because of them that it will all crash and burn.
Does he need his blanky to go to sleep ?
Talk about preaching to the converted.
In the past the press has represented such stuff as Trump supporters with swastikas. There was a widely publicized photo. It turned out to be a Bernie bro.
He's right, you know.
I'm sure the Gestapo has already picked him up, and this heroically brave humanitarian will soon be gassed and cremated in a death camp.
Oh, Mark couldn't be more right.
The Republican swampdwellers and hyperhypocrites of imperial DC hate and fear Trump almost as much as the Dims do. With almost no exceptions they see him upsetting all the routines of the Federal Blob, and not to their benefit.
He pays them no respect or attention, and that's a positive in my book. It'll be interesting to see who drags whom down (or up) in November.

Wow, he's so brave, doing that in Madison. That really takes guts.
I take it Meade wasn't wearing his pro-Trump T-shirt.
Wow. So brave for a Nazi to walk around like that.
The ACLU objects to body cameras now it appears.

In the current issue of The New Yorker there is an article about Joseph McCarthy. The writer, Louis Menand, observes that there is an uncanny resemblance between Joseph McCarthy and Donald Trump and he points out their amazing similarities. I myself was always struck by the resemblance that Donald Trump bears with Mother Theresa, but different people sometimes reach different conclusions.....McCarthy, like Trump, was a heavy drinker and inclined to self destructive behavior. The resemblances are obvious.... You wonder how someone with McCarthy's minimal gifts was able to gain such credence. My own theory was that people like Menand enabled him. There really were Soviet spies in the high reaches of the government, and people like the Menands of that era defended them. Harry Dexter White, Julius Rosenberg, Alger Hiss--they were all innocent and hounded, sometimes to death, by hysterical anti-Communists. People believed their lying eyes and thought that there were not just Communist spies but people who were willing to cover for them. The fact that so many prominent people denied that there was such a thing as covert Communists parodoxically caused many people to believe in the existence of covert Communist spy rings.
Do pictures of a rioter in the act of setting a fire inside a building count as good reporting? https://twitter.com/ByronYork/status/1288418141496909824
That is the bluest POS I’ve ever seen. What is that... cobalt?
>>Why, if the cops are the gestapo...
That's the whole point, isn't it? If the police were the murderous bastards the protesters say they are, there would be no riots. The first person to throw a rock would be shot dead, and the rest would suddenly remember they had somewhere else to be.

Abortion chamber, if you're lucky. A Mengele clinic, cannibalized, reused, redistributed, if you're prfitable. It's all very private, forward-looking, nuanced, and humane. The path is masked with semantic games and em-pathetic euphemisms.

When I was young the only middle-aged/elderly political hysterics you might come across would be a John Bircher or some such thing. And even they were likely to be pretty low profile. Hippies may not have always conformed, but they knew how to conform. Makes we wonder to what extent the excesses of unhinged Youth might be down to the incontinent example of their Prog elders.

Practical Sanskrit: The misunderstood Swastika
blog.practicalsanskrit.com/2010/09/misunderstood-swastika.html
The word Swastika, स्वस्तिक, is made from Sanskrit words su + asti = well + being (सु + अस्ति = स्वस्ति) or all be well. the -ka suffix makes it a symbol, i.e. swastika is one that symbolizes well being, brings well being, good fortune.

I think he drew the swastikas wrong.
@mockturtle, yep. The Nazi swastika is the mirror image of what this Bozo drew, and rotated 45 degrees. But Wisconsin liberals aren’t as bright as they tell themselves they are.
Is that Joe Biden walking through streets?

If a guy thinks Trump is a Nazi, yet he so goddamn ignorant of National Socialism that he can't draw proper National Socialist swastikas, that's prima facia evidence the dude wouldn't know a Nazi from a fucking Boy Scout.
mockturtle writes: I think he drew the swastikas wrong.
In reply, Roughcoat writes: Not if you're Finnish or an ancient Aryan warrior from the Vedic Age.
Well... that's a somewhat unfair and inaccurate claim. Swastikas of various forms were used by many ancient cultures, including the classical Greeks, a number of different Buddhist sects, and more than a few North American aboriginal nations. When the Finns gained their independence from Russia a search commenced for national symbols and devices, swastikas among them thanks to folk traditions dating from the prehistory of the Baltic peoples. However, the only officially adopted Finnish swastika was -- and remained until barely a week ago -- a form more or less identical to the NSDAP symbol. The differences were color. In Finland, the symbol was usually blue or yellow and occasionally black, depending on the application. The NSDAP form was black on a white disk enclosed by red. (The Luftwaffe used a black swastika outlined in white as a tail device; Nazi-era German civil aircraft always used a black swastika on the red and white background.) Another difference was alignment. The Nazi form was always canted 45 degrees to the left, in accordance with Hitler's original 1923 design. The Finnish form was always directly horizontal/vertical, like this.

Now I understand Althouse's admonition that men in shorts look like little boys.

Those are left wing swastikas. They spin counterclockwise or sinister as the Latins say.

Ok, a thought hit me tonight... why are so many American Black people, especially militants, Muslim?
First of all, Islam has a centuries long history of enslaving Black Africans, a practice continued to this day.
Secondly, all Muslims are by definition slaves, bound to the will of Allah. You would think that the last thing an American Black person would want to be is a slave.
(Note this has nothing to do with the Nation of Islam. That is a wacky racist cult that preaches Black superiority and has nothing to do with actual Islam. About the only thing I approve of in Islam is its lack of racism.)
Julius Rosenberg, Alger Hiss--they were all innocent and hounded, sometimes to death, by hysterical anti-Communists.

Dude, you're twenty years behind the times. The Verona files proved that Hiss and the Rosenbergs were definitely guilty of being Communist spies.

Man in shorts proves Trump’s not running an authoritarian state.
How long before the swastika side is presented as a Trump supporter?
Venona intercepts. Release was forced by Pat Moynihan.
Most of those positively identified were never brought to justice.
Partly because the signal intelligence system was so secret that this information could not be used in a prosecution. And when the Soviet archives were (briefly and partially) available many were confirmed with second sources.
Which was a great shame, as such spotty and controversial proceedings as were brought forward were used as anti-American propaganda and over all this gave cover to two generations of traitorous intellectuals to persist in slandering the US and poisoning its culture, the effects of which continue to this day.
When Venona was revealed in the 1990s Patrick Moynihan, in various articles and an important book "Secrecy", argued that the devastating cultural costs of this secrecy were not worth the operational benefits. A clear cut exposure and purge of the traitors then could have avoided much ongoing trouble, by cutting off the "trahison des clercs" at the knees.

So brave. Really going against the grain in Madison
The photo is great representation of divided America. The man has the freedom to tear down and slur President Trump. Now try a man supporting the President. Would he have the same freedom? Regardless of your politics, even needing to ask the question should make you mad, how our political culture has rotted away to threats of intimidation. A popular teacher got fired for posting on his facebook page that Trump was our President. Fired by people with Doctorates. Educated, informed.
Are the Verona files similar to the Venona papers?
There are times when one wishes he had a soft tomato to throw.
"Dude, you're twenty years behind the times. "
Are you serious, or are you being ironic too?
I can't keep up. But at least I get parody.

Dude has a new sign from the one he waved all spring. Trump is a nazi has been replaced by backwards swastikas.
Room rater dropped his rating for the sign switch.
Isn't he worried that that damned fascist, Nazi, dictator Trump will disappear him and his entire family?
He would be if he really believed that crap on his sign. That is how you know it is all bullshit. If Trump was all those things that the loony left calls him, they would be too afraid to advertise these thoughts. In China, they don't carry around Winnie the Poo anything cause doing so will disappear you. Here is NOT there. You know that, I know that, and these lefty loons know that. They should be grateful this is still America where you have the right to be an a$$hole. In the country they are trying to build, you won't...
I saw this dude last night ... except he was in Indiana and had a ponytail. I’ve seen him in all 50 states. He’s 60+, white, net worth of zero, not obese, thinks 100% in cliches, divorced, likes porn, does not work, and is angry. Avoid him. He’ll bore you to death if he starts talking.
ARM sez:
"I didn't think we could top labradoodle guy, but demon sex doc has a good shot. Only the best people."
Not only have lefties ignored every other doctor that was in front of the USSC to focus fire on the single African woman for holding beliefs that would be pretty much uncontroversial in Africa...
...but they're so *excited* to be able to attack an African woman as a loon that they bring it up in completely unrelated threads.
Everybody, and I mean everybody, knows why.
Did anyone shoot him with rubber bullets or pepper balls?
Was his sign stolen and ripped?
Did he go home bleeding?

I see them as Billy Joel's 'Angry Young Man' who'll go to their grave as Angry Old Men, with the exception of the "he's fair and he's true" bits. They sure are boring as hell though.
Madison street scene. Just another day in a left wing city. Nights, of course, are different. That old guy would be in bed before the Antifa troops come out.
ARM is nuts. I've noticed this with friends that I've grown up with who are also lefties. They really are certifiable. Their Trump hatred has so taken hold in their brains, that all they have left is pure, unmitigated insanity. It's a pity.
"I'm sure the Gestapo has already picked him up, and this heroically brave humanitarian will soon be gassed and cremated in a death camp."

Poll: Most View Kneeling During Anthem As Acceptable Form Of Protest
Y'ALL LOSE.
A POLL! Well, there you have it. It's settled.
>>Most View Kneeling During Anthem As Acceptable Form Of Protest
Of course it's 'acceptable'. It's a free country.
For now.
The question is whether or not guys getting paid millions of dollars a year to play a kid's game should be on their knees protesting, or on their knees thanking God they live in such a great country.
Personally, I always saw sports as separate from politics. I didn't really care who my team's QB voted for (and I still don't).
But now EVERYTHING is political. And that's a damn shame.
Look, Crack, you and I would never be friends. But we could both root for the same team and high five each other after a touchdown as random fans do.
Now, we are supposed to disown fellow fans if they are not sufficiently woke, and don't kneel, and don't say "All lives matter".
Wokeness has pretty much destroyed the finest university system in the world. Not content, they are coming after every other institution, too.
"or on their knees thanking God they live in such a great country."
Tim Tebow tried that. Didn't go over too well. Too edgy, what with all that icky religion included. Either that, or it's because he's not black.
