Essential Trump/Alt-Right Ridicule Thread

Isn't a male witch, a warlock?

No. If a witch is a woman then a man would be a wizard. Witch comes from wit, and wizard from wise, and wise and wit are cognate so broadly they mean more or less the same thing, wise person. On another point though, nowhere have I seen it ruled that a witch must be a woman.

Warlock comes from Anglo Saxon Wærloga, faithless / enemy / traitor. So a warlock is by definition an evil villain, male or female but presumably one with magick powers, while a wizard or witch can be good or at least helpful.
 


did a quick read and, yup, there is yoga. I thought I remember the church condemning it.

The Vatican's top exorcist has spoken out in condemnation of yoga and fantasy novels, branding them as "Satanic" acts that lead to "demonic possession".

Father Cesare Truqui has warned that the Catholic Church has seen a recent spike in worldwide reports of people becoming possessed by demons and that the reason for the sudden uptick is the rise in popularity of pastimes such as watching Harry Potter movies and practicing Vinyasa.

The Log Cabin Republicans, a group of gay Republicans who advocate for LGBT rights within the GOP, have long struggled to gain acceptance from the party.
Despite their defence of Republican appointees opposed by mainstream LGBT rights groups and frequent clashes with other LGBT rights campaigners, the group’s gay-inclusive message is still being shunned by conservative-dominated elements of the GOP.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, a keynote Republican event, recently lifted a long-held ban on the group – but it is still not welcome to attend a number of other Republican events.

The Texas GOP this month banned the group from having a stall at its 2018 state convention, marking the 20th successive year in which the Log Cabin Republicans have been refused permission to attend the convention.

The State Republican Executive Committee voted on April 7 to deny the group permission to attend, with a “clear majority” of lawmakers opting to reject the group’s presence after a two-hour debate.

According to the Austin Statesman, speakers cited religious objections to the group’s mission.

It was also claimed that their presence would run counter to the GOP state platform, which states that “homosexuality is a chosen behaviour that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that has been ordained by God.”

No other group was denied a stall at the convention.

I used to use a health-related forum where I suggested to someone that they might want to give meditation a try and they refused on (Christian) religious grounds. They were American, and not overly political but had voted for Trump (and thought all the fuss about him was ridiculous cos Clinton would have been far worse). I did a bit of Googling to try to reassure him and found that meditation and yoga are quite routinely ruled out of bounds by American evangelicals.
 
‘Proud Boy’ Lawyer Wants $100M From Man Who Cost Him His Job

Crazy story!

The Proud Boys have been covered quite a bit by Urban 75 thread star, Tim Pool.

They are tossers.

And it's extremely vexing that they should drag perfectly innocent clothing into their cesspit of stupid by using a particular style of Fred Perry shirts as part of their uniform.

I guess they fit the definition of Alt Right?

Kelly Weill, who wrote that story covers the far right for the Daily Beast, and she's also a good person to follow on Twitter if that's your thing.
