What about the INCITER of White Supremacy with hateful & violent rhetoric?

“We think that this essentially opens up a new avenue to attack the dangerous activities of white supremacists in our country,” Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which represented Dumpson, told WaPo. “I would expect that other litigators will be able to use the ruling in this case to seek justice on behalf of other victims of hate crimes.”

This is essentially what Trump has done since the day he rode down that escalator and called Mexicans “rapists”, and even before as a prominent Birther. It would serve him right if the victims of the El Paso massacre or their families sued him for fomenting terrorism and depriving them their right to public accommodations.

All a lawyer has to do is read his tweets in court, especially the ones his staff expunged after the El Paso tragedy -which, I believe, involved the use of the word “invasion”.

Well, one thing you can say about these Nazi RW nationalist motherfuckers: they not only make us look better intellectually and morally in comparison to them but also physically.

I heard Anglin is out of the country and has been spotted in Russia, Philippines, Greece, Cambodia, Nigeria, and other places. Also heard he has a girlfriend. What a winner she must be.

Good luck collecting. Which has also been the sentiment to anyone owed money by the current occupant of the White House.

Doubt they’ll collect any more from him than what they get for selling that ugly hat.

If Anglin is making America great again by never coming back, that works for me, though I hope the young lady can collect on the judgment due her.

If Anglin is able to travel the world, someone is footing the bill, which means they are aiding and abetting a known and wanted criminal.

I wish some intrepid reporters would tackle this the way the Miami Herald reporter doggedly went after Jeffrey Epstein.

Agreed. However, these rulings will cripple his abilities to earn any decent income for the rest of his natural life – as well as sets up three nice rulings in a row that others can use in their fights for justice. I wish these folks all the best and a whole bunch of peace.

Oh, I don’t know. From the looks of it, FoxNews might need a high-salaried replacement for Tucker Carlson, and Anglin is probably less racist than Tucker.

Jared Kushner is going to tell Donald Trump to pardon Andrew Anglin because it will appeal to Democrats.

What makes this interesting is that if he really is traveling the world at some point his US passport will expire. Now I can’t imagine him hanging out in some EU country, rules, they have rules and stuff. As to other countries I’m not too sure about the Southeast Asian countries, but pretty much anywhere else would be to dark for him.

I don’t watch former bow-tie boy but he sure catching a lot of heat, but why is no one talking about Frau Ingraham?

That just means he has to pick which country he wants to stay in when the passport expires. EU would be optimal since internal travel does require a passport, but they do seem to require ID for all sorts of pesky things like getting cell phone service or staying in a hotel room.

ETA: Australia is big enough and white enough for him.

Whenever I see a pic of finalist for People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” Andrew Anglin, I always thinks of that great line Bette Midler spoke in the movie “Outrageous Fortune”:

Hmm…a Christo-fascist country forgiving of white nationalists? That’s Russia. I’m sure Trump can put in a “good” word.

Yes, but Snowden could be useful to his hosts. This twerp, not so much.

Yeah, his time is going to run out in Europe, and I don’t see him being able to support himself as a male prostitute in the fleshpots of Bangkok.

Maybe he’ll get an invite from Putin and Snowden!
