Day 13: Vetting. Neil Gorsuch founded/led a group called the ‘Fascism Forever Club'

[Ahovv]

I can't say I molested a child like Lena Dunham either. But that stuff should be irrelevant to the current era, right?

edit: Honestly I don't care either way, I dislike Gorsuch on a few decisions he made and book he wrote against assisted suicide. You guys can argue over his childhood all you want, at least be consistent with this type of issue. If you're going to hold this against him, I expect you would do the same for any politician "on your side."

I'm not going to worry to much about what someone did back in high school.

I can hold out and see what he does as an adult.

In our continuing docu series about the Rise of Fascism in the United States we present Trumps Supreme Court nominee with a rather interesting past. Now the normal conservative response I have seen was "well that was when he was younger" but honestly guys I cannot say I went through a Fascist phase when I was in high school.

but all the demoorats who were part of dommunist organizations, or who had direct ties to know communist terrorists, like obama did, well we just ignore all that because "they were young, etc, etc".

in the article, the yearbook describes the club as an anti faculty student group that battled against the liberal views of administrator. The only thing you have here is the word facist, which is pretty loosely defined anyway, but without any real connection to what facism is. If anything the group name was too clever, for the intent was probably to battle what they viewed as facist, at a liberal schoo, in a very liberal neighborhood.

you are grasping at straws and it makes you look desperate.

People don't realize how much the country would spiral downwards, both economically and militarily, if the US lost the western coast and New York who would leave if Calexit happened.

No it wouldnt. This is the same bullshit people say about scotland leaving britain, or britain lesving the eu. California cant physically move. There are still people and a lot of enterprise. They will still need to trade with and cooperste with the rest of the US. The only change will be in the minds of myopic people who cant see that boarders and treaties mean nothing unless we honor them, and that's all we are doing right now.

Dear nut job

Talking to yourself in a mirror again?

There's no need to get so foaming-at-the-mouth upset over the basic facts of the situation. I don't know about you, but in highschool I was busy as fuck between AP classes, extracurriculars, friends, applying at multiple colleges, etc. plus all the other shit I was responsible for outside of school. Starting a nazi club wasn't even on my radar. You have to be seriously dedicated to some twisted shit to pull that off.

Maybe things are different for kids like Gorsuch who have their daddies pay for private school / grades?

Seems to be a theme as well, here's a quote for his college yearbook (Columbia):
"The illegal we do immediately, the unconstitutional takes a little longer."

Sad!

Already debunked as fake....try again...

But Hilary!

I know, right?

Yeah I really am not going to jump on the debate that this is equivalent to say smoking weed when you were younger. The guy was in Georgetown when he did this. Not exactly like elementary school here lol

georgetown prep is a high school, not the university. Youre slandering this man with no evidence of any misconduct outside of a word used in his student club thst has a rather negstive connotation, but for which there is no evidence the club supported thst word. It isnt like this was a nazi club, or a racist club. The purpose was combating the "liberalism" (read, socialism) of the faculty. It is ironic, sure, but nothing presented here is illegal or immoral, and anything you are attempting to make it.

Did you just compare some actress to a Supreme Court nominee? What the actual fuck?

Even better... but, some actress!!!!

rest of the stuff in there
student activities as ‘President of the Yard, Student Government’ and ‘Lousy Spanish Student.’ He said he was also president of a group called the ‘Committee to reform The Beast.’

Yikes, this guy is even more of a nutjob than I originally thought. Good find!

[PosPosPos]

People are idiots in high school, I'm not going to hold this against him. I was a racist homophobe until my senior year. Now, if he has been a part of something after his formative years, then it's probably far more relevant.

Yeah, being part of Trump's merry band would be it then.

[Donimic]

Am I truly aware of how successful Germany was under the NSDAP, pre-WWII? Absolutely.

To be fair, 99.9% of the Silicone Valley-esque companies would re-locate out of California long before anything formal was passed in CA. The only thing California would be leaving with is land, small businesses and a great deal of Mexicans.

lololololol the amount of incorrect in this is outstanding. You don't know much about bay-area economics or their relationship with local politics do you.

[Blur4stuff]

Many of Trumps picks so far have been poor. Some are just buying the position. Even though, most republicans still support them. Just look at the things Trump has done himself and he still has support.

Anything short of video evidence of a nominee committing satanic sacrifice rituals won't make a difference.

Why are we judging her at all at this point? Is she a candidate for something? Is she one of Trump's cabinet picks? If she has fuck all to do with the topic at hand let's all do our best to not go off topic by bringing her up.

i think it was originally brought up to point out hypocrisy. the left judging this dude on something from the ancient past, when the right was repeatedly told not to judge hillary on the ancient past.

[Lady Dragonheart]

That's hilarious.

[melodramocracy]

It's interesting to see all of the racists and fascists come out of the woodwork. And here I was almost convinced that we were moving towards a postracial America.

You were, but it's just a slower train than most people think. Bigotry is fairly rampant when there's any sign that a form of it is socially acceptable.

[Daelak]

Really? High school. I think you can do better than that.

Yeah! Everyone in high school definitely had fun joining and creating Nazi and Fascist groups. It was totally just for the lulz.

I'm surprised to learn that not every high school has a Kool Kat Klub.

That's just because of the whiny liberals weren't invited to these fun, youthful, pure, superior, clubs like the young motivated, hilarious conservatives!
