    The lesson should have been, “If the lead you’re following doesn’t work out, kill the piece.” Sadly, that doesn’t seem to have been learned.

    The lesson of the Rolling Stone debacle was not “rape accusers are more likely to be liars”. It was a media story.

    False accusations are wrong. Which is one reason one should really have evidence for suggesting someone is lying.

    Trump called for the execution of the Central Park 5, defended his family’s racist housing policies, and was a birther long before Bannon.

    He is not the puppet of Bannon or Miller. He hired them because they affirm his already pre-existing white nationalist beliefs.

    It’s true that Trump is a profoundly stupid and incurious man, but that doesn’t prevent him from being a proto-fascist or a racist.

    I’m getting very uncomfortable with rhetoric, that I find mostly comes from white men, about Trump being too dumb to know what he’s doing.

    Putin is widely believed to have had journalists killed.

    "These are the ones that insulted you?" Putin asked Trump, gesturing at the journalists being ushered out of the room. Chuckles all around

    At this point, anyone who claims not to know what Trump is doing must be assumed complicit, not ignorant.

    It’s really easy, I suppose, to understand these things when they’re safely in the past.

    Everyone in the tour group was, reasonably, appalled that people who were so racist and destructive dare portray themselves as protectors.

    When I was in Berlin, I went to a museum that had photos of S.S. officer murals that portrayed them as valiant defenders of German culture.

    I get the desire to take most sinister reading of Trump speeches. But your argument turns cultural conservatism into white nationalism.
