Was in the Hirschhorn last May. Interesting museum. Seems an odd place for racists to place a noose, but trying to parse what passes for their thinking is a dubious enterprise at best.

“The incident comes weeks after someone hung bananas with racist messages from nooses at several locations at American University.”

Clearly more evidence of the “economic insecurity” that drives Trump voters.

If only Sec. Clinton had reached out to them…

Richard Spencer is very “economically anxious” indeed.

No doubt related to the Rolling Thunder biker weekend. Most are perfectly ok, but there are certainly some deplorables among them.

She did.

She called them “deplorables”…which was much too kind.

Seriously, now that she’s been proven right, we get only crickets from the press that lambasted her at the time.

And, ironically, their behavior has escalated into glorification of violence against that same Press.

The Trump Effect™

Your Gateway to Overt Assholery!

Hillary’s biggest gaffe was grossly underestimating their numbers. (I think she pegged them at about 45%.)

Probably left by a GOP Congressweasel who wanted to expose himself to art, while doing his auto-eroticism thing.

“Rootless cosmopolitans”.

Also, Entartete Kunst … but we’ll get to that part of the program later.

At least 11 states with all-GOP governments are considering the use of nooses as part of the registration process.

Question for TPM reporters: DC is one of the most surveilled places in the country. Who has relevant surveillance tapes and what are they doing with it?

It’s an ‘artistic’ expression of part of our contemporary culture?
