..it's that thin line between political correctness and .. and.. raping your kids and marrying your cousin ..?
In a 3,300-word essay on incelocalypse.today, titled “Here’s How to Psyche Yourself Up to Feel Entitled to Rape,” Larson tells other members: “Don’t forget: feminism is the problem, and rape is the solution.” On the platform, he also advocated for father-daughter marriage, killing women and raping virgins.
Larson is less worried about his run for Congress than about his sites coming down. He told HuffPost that the termination of his websites is an affront to his freedom of speech and that he’s going to try to get them hosted elsewhere

As a resident of the Charlottesville area, I actually take a small degree of satisfaction know that even around here people aren't quite crazy enough to follow that kind of crazy. I mean people around here are totally insane when it comes to politics but they're not that insane!

People will still vote for him. Whether they're doing it just for a lark, to troll/protest the other side, or because they actually believe in him, the reason doesn't really matter, because those votes will still, to an extent, legitimize him. Remember, throw enough protest or troll votes in someone's direction, and they can actually win.

Nathan Larson, a 37-year-old accountant from Charlottesville, Virginia, is running for Congress as an independent candidate in his native state. He is also a pedophile, as he admitted to HuffPost on Thursday, who has bragged in website posts about raping his late ex-wife.
In a phone call, Larson confirmed that he created the now-defunct websites suiped.org and incelocalypse.today ― chat rooms that served as gathering places for pedophiles and violence-minded misogynists like himself. HuffPost contacted Larson after confirming that his campaign website shared an IP address with these forums, among others. His sites were terminated by their domain host on Tuesday.
On the phone, he was open about his pedophilia and seemingly unfazed about his long odds of attaining government office.
Campanello had spent seven years as a plainclothes narcotics detective in Boston’s suburbs. But watching his officers respond to more and more overdoses—some they had reversed with the newly available naloxone, some they couldn’t—had left the chief disillusioned with the drug war’s criminalization of addicts. “It was pretty evident that we weren’t arresting our way out of anything,” Campanello recalls. “The punishment of a disease wasn’t working.”
Two days after a packed community forum, Campanello, with permission from the city’s mayor, went on the department’s Facebook page and announced the new policy: detox and recovery on demand for the addicted—“not in hours or days, but on the spot,” he promised. “I’ve never arrested a tobacco addict,” Campanello wrote, “nor have I ever seen one turned down for help when they develop lung cancer.” His post went viral: two million people viewed it.

That is a good response. I wish I wasn't so horrible that I immediately thought "Oh, they found out about harm prevention as soon as a drug epidemic hit white people!"

Pretty much the same.

Yeah, it is hard for us who lived through the crack epidemic of the 90s to see this and not be bitter.
Honestly, while race may be a factor, it feels like class has been the main motivator (it can be two things). Meth has been hitting poor whites for awhile. But soon as the middle class gets hit (and got addicted to overly prescribed opioids), now they find compassion.
I guess better late than never.

A sensible proposal from a law enforcement officer? But the liberal media is always telling me that all cops are evil and stupid!

I am a bit sad that the Police gave up enforcing the Law as it should do. Just because you didn't succeed before don't mean you won't in the future and that you have to treat an obvious crime like a disease. These people chosed to buy drugs, others to sell it, and others to produce it. Just catch them all (probably from Mexico anyway, the Glorious Wall gonna put an end to this).

I just picture actual Orson Krennic hunched over his keyboard, angrily posting while trying to forget about Tarkin taking his lunch from the employee break room.
The only good thing to come out of the pedophile rape-supporter who's running for office is that Ouze's petition is filed under 'Transportation and Infrastructure'.

Exactly.

So the new US ambassador to Germany has turned out to be a creep. Paraphrasing, he said looking at the German political landscape he has a lot of work to do. Did he just offhandedly let slip he is going to work on regime change in Germany in favor of Trump style populism?
For those interested, it was in a Breitbart interview, which I'm not going to give clicks to by linking it.

Or that the War on Drugs was declared with the intent of arresting the addicts, rather than treatment?

Seems Trump can officially pardon himself, supposedly. But won't. Honest.
It's still untested AND that's Giuliani, the guy who previously said Bill Clinton would have to appear if he was subpoenaed, but trump wouldn't have to.
However, I think basic common sense would be "no one is above the law."

He can say what he wants. Confess can throw him because of the color of his tie if they want.
I find the argument being made overly broad. I am sure SCOTUS would to.

The level of argument is basically a Trumped up version of “I can shoot someone in the street and people would vote for me”, just replaced with “I could shoot someone in the street and tell people not to investigate me because I’m the boss”.
Of course his entire business experience and role as head of the Trump business has been “I’m the boss, so what I say goes”. He has never been challenged on anything, so why should he think this is different?

These arguments make perfect sense if you realize that Rudy's current role isn't as a legal professional opining on theory and strategy, but rather a partisan throwing out crazy gak to confuse people and edge stuff out of the news cycle.

Larson’s political ambitions span more than a decade. He first ran for Congress in Virginia’s 1st District in 2008 on what he described as an “anarcho-capitalist” platform. That same year, he sent a letter to the Secret Service threatening to kill the president, which landed him in federal prison for 14 months and barred him from seeking public office.

They have really picked some amazing diplomats for this admin. Christ. I hope no one in Berlin gives this goober the time of day after this comment. How dare he.
If anybody cares to remember, I've spoken before of my love of American history, and there's this scene from the American Revolution.
It's during the New York campaign, and the Americans have just been routed by the British. Morale is rock bottom. Desertions are sky high, and Washington barely has 1000 men to call on...
Everybody thinks the revolution is fethed and making peace is the smart move... And Washington is sitting in his tent, and even he's pretty low, but he snaps out of it, and he keeps believing...
And the rest is history...
But if he's up there in that great battlefield in the sky, he must be wondering why he fething bothered when you have people coming out with concentrated horsegak about the President being able to pardon himself...
As if the Founding Fathers were stupid enough to design a system like that after getting rid of one king across the water.
I would say to American dakka members that the best thing you can do is tear up the Declaration of Independence and start again.
Because if that is the quality of leadership you're getting, then your country is going to be ran into the ground, if it's not happening already.
When the British Empire went up in smoke, you can say that at least they helped to defeat the Nazis before they collapsed.
But America? This is beating yourself to death with a tiny hammer...
It ain't pretty
