I agree that Sessions is an absolutely dreadful choice. He seems to be a genuine white supremacist, although the controversies surrounding him seem to be quite old and there is a possibility he has mellowed with age.

I think your use of "inbred" is shameful, particularly in conjunction with "cracker". I don't think cracker is a racist term, but I think it can be a classist one. It seems like a fair description of Jeff Sessions. However, the use of "inbred" makes it a nasty attack from a coastal Democrat on a Southern Republican. Even if he is inbred and you're not just resorting to hateful stereotypes, what relevance does that have to whether he's a good person or a good appointment?


I promise I will try to be a good boy, and refrain from combining the words "inbred," and "cracker" together.
Incidentally, I don't think of my criticism of Sessions as being class oriented by any means, as he's very much an upper class guy. I'd rather imagine he's descended from the southern elites who had started the Civil War and session in order to keep their semi-feudalistic slave system alive, than a scion of the poor white southerners he himself has probably derided as white trash.

<--- Will back off his anti-Trump rhetoric once he sees minorities obtaining important positions in the POTUS' cabinet. (Notice how he said important as he expects minorities will be hired by Trump, but placed in inconsequential, unimportant, non-authoritative, "are y'all happy now?" positions.

Yours sounds like a plan. :thumleft:

I am sure Trump will hire someone of that nature soon enough but the primary consideration is who is the best person for the jump not to make sure every shade is represented. I think most Trump supporters anticipate Ben Carson being given a spot in the administration, Trump is considering Michelle Rhee for Secretary of Education who also a Democrat on top of everything else, Nikki Haley has been talked about as a possible Secretary of State. The implication of Trump being biased against these people I think couldn't be further from the truth, Trump will hire who the best person is for the job regardless of gender, race, or political party.

Forgive me, but I'll believe it when I see it.
And apparently, Ben Carson has said he doesn't want a position in the Trump administration. Maybe because he doesn't want to delouse every time he's in the same room with Bannon and Sessions.

A quick search will reveal Kraichgauer has made several posts before referring to "inbred crackers", despite the, er, "irony" of this being pointed out to him.

It just goes to show that people like him have no principles - they just have narratives.


He's been hounded for years about his narrative but to no avail.


Only by you and a few of your bosom buddies. And the more you hound me, the louder I'll get! :twisted:

Yeah, the louder you wail about being bullied and set upon. Then there's that well used straw man of yours about "attacks" on your family. :roll:

I can guess who these "bosom buddies" are you but about all we have in common is penchant for calling you out and running you up a tree. You don't see us wooing each other like you and your bosom buddy after each post that one of you makes with all those compliments and thank yous and other gushy pleasantries, ad nauseam.


My WP friends and I actually understand what real camaraderie is about, which is why we thank each other for the mutual support.
Yes, you have cast aspersions on my family, then you have retreated from it.
And if I'm up a tree, it's only be be able to p*ss on you from up there. :twisted:

Fantasize much?
:roll:

My name's on Ellis Island; quite frankly I'm a little more concerned about all the swastika graffiti in the city. They'd do well to learn what that glyph actually means. FFS my cousin's at a Jewish uni in Brooklyn!

I'm Norsk and this is why four generations later I wear a big paperclip on my backpack.

And in keeping with the overwhelming odds, fire them all on blithe impulse.

You're damn right there won't. Either we'll put a stop to this peacefully or by any means necessary. I write this with nothing but foreboding; you don't just brush any such thing off or there will be hell to pay, and it won't be me collecting.

If you want to disable somebody, appoint him right next to you and micromanage (even by 3rd party).


It's a disingenuous yet accepted tactic aimed at appearing flexible and diplomatic; no so different from telling one's supporters to quit harassing foreigners & immigrants.

I ask this question a lot: Has there EVER been an all white country where dissension, hate and war never erupted? So far, no one has answered, leaving me to believe that all this "Our Country", "Hail Trump", "White Nationalism" bullsh*t is just that - bullsh*t.

How long will it take for these small-minded racists to realize that NO all-white country has EVER experienced a long term existence where the children were always warm and safe, gardens always blossomed with tulips, jobs were always plentiful, and everybody was as happy as pigs in sh*t? To wit:

Polish Civil War - 1704-1706
Swedish Civil War - 1597-1598
Norwegian Civil War - 1130-1240
Finnish Civil War - 1918
Spanish Civil War - 1936-1939
English Civil War - 1642-1651
Danish Civil War - 1157
Irish Civil War - 1922-1923
Romanian Civil War (Romanian Revolution) - 1989
Russian Civil War - 1917-1922
French Civil Wars (or French Wars of Religion or Huguenot Wars) - mid 16th century
Austrian Civil War - 1934
Hungarian Civil Wars (or Revolutions) - 1848 and 1956
Latvian Civil War (or Latvian War of Independence) - 1918-1920
Portuguese Civil War (or Iberian War) - 1912-1914
Italian Civil War - 1943-1945
Netherlands Civil War (the 80 Years War or Dutch War of Independence) - 1568-1648

And these are ALL internal wars. Add conflicts between countries and you soon realize - mankind has always been, and always will be, at war with each other, race be damned. The alt-right needs to learn their history and cut the crap.

War and violence aren't racial problems, but human problems. People will always find a reason to hate each other, even if they all share the same color.

Bannon, like Trump, isn't so much racist as he is weird, a former Wall Street guy who made his money off Seinfeld re-runs who ran a pirate crew political operation out of the basement of his Lincoln period DC townhouse mining the deep web for dirt on Hillary and Jeb, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know what he is exactly, but "white nationalist" seems far too simple.
