JIMMY KIMMEL WHITESPLAINS RACISM TO TIM SCOTT:

Remember when it was racist for a white person to disagree with a black politician? I’m not sure when that whole phenomenon started, but it had its heyday around… oh, let me look… January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. At any point between those two dates, you couldn’t say anything that contradicted and/or criticized a black politician without being informed that you only hated him for the color of his skin. That was the only reason anybody would ever bother to dissent, we were told. Wanted lower taxes? Racist. Didn’t want socialized medicine? Racist. Noticed that William Ayers was a terrorist and Rev. Jeremiah Wright was an anti-Semite? Racist, racist, racist. That was the rule, and it was rigidly enforced by our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press, as well as many of their fellow Democrats.

These days, things are a bit more lax. Not only can a white dude disagree with a black politician, but he can even laugh at a black politician for claiming to know what it’s like to be black in America!

That’s what former comedian Jimmy Kimmel did last night on his talk show, which I don’t watch and neither do you:

Scott is being lectured to on the topic of racism by at least two of the most prominent show business practitioners of blackface, Kimmel, and Joy Behar:

I mean, he spoke at a Trump rally, despite working in Boulder.  Sir, if you read this, I’d like to meet somewhere just to shake your hand. “Brave and crazy” like that is a rare find.

YOU KNOW, NORMALLY I’D SAY THIS IS CRAZY, BUT THE TIMES WE’RE LIVING IN… UFOs are real, feds’ cover-up fueled by fear: ex-Pentagon whistleblower.

These are not quite the times that try men’s souls. They’re more the days that make all of us start to believe lizard people conspiracies, simply because they make more sense than the reality we’re stuck in.

FIGHT THE POWER: A Trump supporter infiltrated an Antifa group in Sonoma. “It felt like seeing Antifa getting sort of a pass all the time from government saying they don’t exist, saying that they’re a myth, saying that they’re just an idea. You know, when obviously, they are very real, and they’re a big threat.”
