Continuing on the Trump theme; I loved the take Dave Letterman (at least I think it was old Dave) had on Trump's press conference after the Pres released his long form birth certificate.
Dave prefaced it by saying something to the effect that "some of Trump's closest supporters are now attacking him" and to prove it he showed this video clip.
As Trump was egotisticalLEE crowing ... err, speaking about how he made this all happen, his hair (or the creature who is passing itself off as his hair :-\) crawled down and went in to his the Donald's fat mouth to shut him up, and ended up **56** him as he collapsed behind the speaker podium. :o ::)
Seeing that I was left laughing my head off, saying, "In only..." :D

From Andy Borowitz:
Trump Dogged By Rumors His Hair is Not From U.S. (http://www.borowitzreport.com/2011/04/24/trump-dogged-by-rumors-his-hair-is-not-from-us/)
In a piece of good news for Mr. Trump, a new poll showed a majority of likely voters agreeing with the statement, “Donald Trump being sworn in as President would be a great last scene in a Planet of the Apes remake.”
-
The Borowitz Report has been having a field day with the Donald on Twitter:
"BREAKING: Carnival Barkers Blast Obama for Comparing Them to Trump"
"According to newly released birth records, Donald Trump was born with his head up his ass."
"Embarrassed by the birther controversy, the ferret who has lived on Donald Trump's head the last 30 years just left him."
Even Rep. Anthony Weiner (D, NY) got into the act (http://twitter.com/#!/RepWeiner/status/63234728165249024):

NY Daily News: "Anthony Weiner Twitter photo scandal: Comedians Stewart, Colbert, Leno rip on disgraced politician" (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/06/07/2011-06-07_anthony_weiner_twitter_photo_scandal_comedians_stewart_colbert_leno_rip_on_disgr.html?print=1&page=all)

The Weiner thing is just weird. For forty years I represented sex offenders of various kinds in my work. I understand flashers, because there have been plenty of studies done of them; but guys like Weiner don't seem to have any of the issues of flashers (insecurity, social aversion, etc.)
I tried to figure it out when I had a client twenty years ago who had gone to a swap-meet and handed to the 16-year-old girl collecting admission a Polaroid snapshot of an erect penis. She happened to be the daughter of the chief detective of a local sex crimes unit. I talked with the guy for several hours over the course of a week, trying to figure what he was getting out of the activity. He could see absolutely nothing wrong with what he did; he saw it as the equivalent of an icebreaker, like asking if he hadn't met her somewhere before. I managed to persuade the assigned prosecutor that what he had done was not covered by the statute he was charged under, though the next session the legislature invented the crime of "luring".
In any case, Weiner needs to do some introspection and needs to spend some time with a psychologist. That stuff really is kinky. Or maybe I'm just too old; is this how young folks hook up these days?
-
That's the thing though; as Stephen Colbert alluded, Weiner didn't sext these women so that they could go and have sex (unlike fellow NY congressman Lee of Craigslist fame). He just...did it.

I know. That is the weirdest part. I think that over the weekend he talked to somebody who knows how to handle disasters, and did the rest of it right: No adoring wife; lots of regret to his constituents; no "checking into rehab" bullshit (a la Tiger Woods). Breitbart made a total ass of himself, to boot.

More and more I wonder if issues of sex are really issues of youth. Our civilization used to place a premium on age, on wisdom and experience and all that, but no more. Now we're killing ourselves to look young, act young, sound young, feel young. The most extreme version is what Chris Hansen regularly tracks down, and it blows my mind that there's really a whole subculture of men for whom the females simply can't be young enough. It's huge and it really needs to be accounted for -- police looked up my neighbor across the hall from me for kiddie porn and another neighbor had him kicked out. But more on this topic, I think of a Weiner or a Spitzer, and on some irrational level they may feel, I've been a reasonably good boy all this time, fulfilling the right forms, fighting the good fight -- when do I get to cut loose like everyone else seems to? There's something frantic in this, as if they're desperate not to miss out on something, or perhaps even to vindicate some poverty of the past.
Such thoughts cross my mind as I consider my own vague once-in-a-great-while relationship with a hot woman half my age. It's consensual, mature, sweet, all that -- but for the life of me I don't really see it going anywhere. If this happened to me as a married man, would I seriously turn it down? I like to think I'd be sensible enough, but I really don't know. Men can be peculiarly vulnerable like this. Rielle Hunter tells John Edwards he's hot and boom, he's thrown off balance. (Not that Edwards matters so much, years ago I saw him talk to Charlie Rose and I finally figured out that the man was an empty mask.)
But Bio is right, this is a hell of an assumption to make about what constitutes an icebreaker. Trouble is, this has been going on forever. One politician once walked right up to Shirley Temple (Black by then, I suppose) and told her for the longest time he had wanted to fuck her. She was not pleased. (Hell, I even think of Q_BE chatting up Rachel Aldana by offering to suck her nipples.)
Now, this business with Weiner and Ginger Lee, that's a little more typical.

Strangely enough, mental health professionals are working on an answer. The American Psychiatric Association will soon publish DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition). One of the proposed changes, though I don't know whether the committee in charge made the change, is the addition of "self-destructive personality disorder". Personality disorders are probably the most controversial set of mental illnesses, and the APA has been shy about defining new ones since 1985 or so. Weiner is not really a good example; one of the classic examples was a lawyer of my acquanitance who rose, literally, to the presidency of the state bar association. This was unusual for a family (divorce) lawyer. He had, in fact, written "the book" about divorces in our state, which included, in the "ethics" section a very strong condemnation of having any kind of relationship with a client, and never-ever-ever to **82** with clients.
In the late 1990s it came to light that while he was state bar president, he took to administering a brief psychological test to new clients which, among other things, revealed sexual vulnerability, and he had taken to maintaining a small harem of women including one whom he enjoyed screwing in various semi-public places in the local county courthouse. The irony was, as near as the evidence indicated, he never had an affair with a non-client.

I saw some clips from the recent Republican candidate's debate and (of course) wasn't surprised by all the cliche platitudes and scare tactics and empty rhetoric and even the nonsensical pop-culture questions from the moderator... all par for the course these days. What I was slightly pleasantly surprised by were some of Ron Paul's responses... he'll never get the nomination let alone elected, but from a purely realistic/intellectual POV, he was the only person up on the stage who seemed even remotely qualified to serve as President from an ethical POV.
As for Victoria Jackson... it's sad. The plush ditzy blonde who once stood atop the Weekend Update desk to belt out a rousing rendition of "I Am Not A Bimbo!" has degenerated into a pathetic joke spouting paranoid fictions like Bachman and Palin but without even their *very* limited political gravitas. Her fellow SNL alum Dennis Miller is no better of course: he's undeniably more articulate than Jackson (but then again, so are most root vegetables) but every single time he and Bill O. have a circle jerk together on Bill's Faux Nooz show, you can see Miller's moral vapitude in all it's HD glory. The only way it could possibly be more clear would be if they were to broadcast Miller's smirk actually decorated with drippy strings of Bill's boy butter, instead of the merely figurative facials they give each other every time they get together.

On Friday, June 24, the New York Senate voted 33-29 in favor of the Marriage Equality Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_Equality_Act). New York Governor Mario Cuomo signed it into law within hours -- just in time for the New York Pride Parade. This makes New York the sixth state/territory in the country to approve same-sex marriage (the others: Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, the District of Columbia, as well as the Coquille Indian tribe in Oregon).

Okay, solvegas, since you asked, let me point out the features: No American armed service has used (or required training) in the use of sabres since the Spanish-American War. The SS, but not the Wehrmacht, required it for promotion until 1945. Check the boots; not g.i. Actually, that whole uniform doesn't look very g.i. to my old eyes. Way too much leather, except for the BDSM fetishist.
Frankly, knowing a bit about where and how Perry grew up, I think he's more to be pitied than scorned, except that he has shown about as much empathy as your average concentration camp commandant. Anyone who has read Tim Ryan's The Worst Hard Times knows about the place; and he came along about 15 years later. Last time I was there, Haskell hadn't changed much.

Please specify how a Texas A&M cadet corps "do something positive" for their country? I'd as soon honor the Phi Eta Sigma honor society.
-
The Corps is a military officer training program, with all the inculcation of leadership skills, honor, duty, responsibility, and maturity which that entails.
Nearly half of the Corps graduates receive commissions in the Armed Forces, and thereby do something positive for their country.
This is not to imply that the members of the Phi Eta Sigma honor society do not also do something positive for their country.
-
Texas A&M has by far the largest ROTC program in the nation. The uniform with the brown cavalry boots means he is a Senior in the Corps of cadets. The uniform he is wearing is what Officers in the US Cavalry wore in the 1930's. The Cadets at West Point wear a uniform based of the Army of the 1820's. Texas A&M supplies more Officers to the Armed Forces than all other intitutions with the exception of the combined service academies. Now, the snide and stupid remark about what is so positive about the Corps of cadets and equating it with a greek letter society is amazing for the shallowness of intelligence exhibited. Those who sacrifice nothing have a nothing life.

Ummm ... so ... well ...
I lost 22 pounds in the last four weeks. Does that count?
People seem to think my working with developmentally disabled clients counts as sacrifice, but I don't know, I think they tend to say that because their concept of the work scares them. It is true though that one client had violent tendencies and that any one of us could essentially have been murdered with impunity: "Oops, staff just happened to get in the way at the wrong time, oh well, that's the breaks, that's the job." So does that count?
See, I happen to think myself that Bio overdid it with the uniform=Nazi snarkiness -- my parents met as Air Force officers, without the Air Force I wouldn't even exist. But now we're saying "Those who sacrifice nothing have a nothing life" and suddenly I'm thinking Dayum, this is a really TOUGH boob appreciation site if this is some requirement around here of which I had been hitherto unaware. So I just thought I would check in here and make sure I still qualify.
Hopefully that will be cleared up. Regardless of whether or not I qualify, I do hope we can have a FUNNY Politics thread once more.

Personally, I think participating in a reflective big-boob web site counts as national service, Druul. And I find yet another thing we have in common. When I was drafted as a c.o. I was assigned to work in the halfway house for a state "mental disability" hospital. Usually the occasional disarming of some threatening inmate was just part of the shift. Some time ago I read of an incident where a cop shot a guy waving a knife. The article mentioned, in the cop's defense, that the guy might have been crazy. Crap, I thought, my folks were certified to be crazy, and when we disarmed them, we just made a note in the log and locked the weapon in the office desk.
I think solvegas has, in his own way, put his finger on America's greatest foreign policy failing. We are damnned good at blowing things up, and piss-poor at cleaning up the results. The last time we did it right was WW II with the Marshall Plan. In the mid-1980s the U.S. was all over Afghanistan and Pakistan; then in the late 1980s we just disappeared. We had no "second act", what Dennis Kucinich calls a "Department of Peace" to get on the ground and organize a political and economic system in keeping with the local culture. Most of the bad feelings we have with Pakistan now comes from that time. Literally in a matter of days our operational people pulled out, said, "The check's in the mail", and skeedaddled, leaving a handful of NGOs that had very shallow resources.

Mmm, and that's even sort of how we began with Charlie Wilson's War and wound up with Osama.

Texas A&M has by far the largest ROTC program in the nation. The uniform with the brown cavalry boots means he is a Senior in the Corps of cadets. The uniform he is wearing is what Officers in the US Cavalry wore in the 1930's. The Cadets at West Point wear a uniform based of the Army of the 1820's. Texas A&M supplies more Officers to the Armed Forces than all other intitutions with the exception of the combined service academies. Now, the snide and stupid remark about what is so positive about the Corps of cadets and equating it with a greek letter society is amazing for the shallowness of intelligence exhibited. Those who sacrifice nothing have a nothing life.
Thanks. Since I served in Iraq, your comment is SO welcome. God save me from lieutenants j.g. graduated out of ROTC programs.

I am reminded of the time when, Robert Wilson, the first director of Fermilab, testified before Congress on the usefulness of high energy particle accelerators.
Senator John O. Pastore (D-RI): "Is there anything connected with the hopes of this accelerator
that in any way involves the security of the country?"
Robert Wilson: "No sir, I don’t believe so."
Pastore: "Nothing at all?"
Wilson: "Nothing at all."
Pastore: "It has no value in that respect?"
Wilson: "It has only to do with the respect with which we regard one another,
the dignity of men, our love of culture. It has to do with are we good
painters, good sculptures, great poets? I mean all the things we really venerate
in our country and are patriotic about. It has nothing to do directly
with defending our country except to make it worth defending."
Hopefully, those of us who do not actively participate (or have done so in the past) in the defense of our country can at least say that we help make it worth defending.

We need to be more proactive and actualize this edgy ideation from informaries, be more principle centered by looking at the skill-set that lets us prioritize a synergystic and value-added leadership matrix. We often get caught in analysis paralysis, a downward-trending, enabling of negative growth. Lets partner and push the envelope so were all doing the heavy lifting on a backward-compatible framework that implements proactive aperture moments in the media.

When Palin made that remark she was pillored by people who generally live in Manhattan for saying something that was stupid to them. These people just KNEW you geographically can't see Russia from the US. Of course, anything west of the Hudson is Terra Incognita to them.
-
Sol, no one thought that, despite what Faux News told you. Palin was answering the question, "What qualifications do you have for foreign policy?" She said she could see Russia from her house. That is not a qualification; that is a non sequiter. "What makes you qualified to drive?" "I can see the DMV from my house."
Or, as Bill Maher said of Glen Rice, "The next time you fuck somebody's brains out, be sure to put 'em back in."

:D lol! :D lol! :D lol! :D lol! :D
You saying that only people 'who generally live in Manhattan' found Palin's remarks ludicrous is almost as funny as what she said about how seeing Russia from her house somehow provided her with sufficient foreign policy credentials run for (let alone be) President.
Many of the more-than-300-millions Americans who don't live in Manhattan found her statement to perfectly sum up how wildly unqualified she is for any position of authority not because they disagreed with her grasp of geography... they disagreed with her obvious lack of intellect... the very idea that she would even think (let alone publicly say) that proximity to a foreign country qualifies her to lead our nation simply reinforces all the prior negative perceptions of her that she herself is responsible for. You know: the never-ending stream of factually incorrect, self-serving, greedy, publicity-seeking, cliche-ridden and nationally embarrassing effluvia that continues to pour out of her pie-hole even today.
'...generally live in Manhattan'... that really is one of the funniest things I've read in this forum all year! ;D ;D ;D I just saw her on the news yet again tonight talking about how she'd do away with all corporate income taxes if she were President, so really, I deeply appreciate the much-needed laugh you so graciously provided.
-
Well, it *is* the funny politics thread :)
Ironically, doing away with corporate income taxes is a decent idea... IF (huge "if") you could find some way to increase everyone's personal income by an equal margin, and raise personal taxes proportionately. IF you could manage that feat, then the sum total of taxes would be the same, and the sum spending power of individuals would be the same. The difference then would be that foreign products would be effectively 'taxed' in the income before it's spent on products, "somewhat" leveling the playing field for domestic companies to compete with foreign ones, at least in domestic markets. The trick would be getting everyone's personal income up to par to make it a transparent shift of taxation point. It wouldn't make a huge difference, but by taxing the commerce at the paycheck, the taxation effectively applies to all purchased goods, instead of just domestic goods. It would take a really long time for such a monumental change to actually pay for itself though.
And with how weakened the labor movement is in the US these days, and how potent corporate influences in government, it's unlikely that you could ever actually see any version of this idea implemented without substantially harming the quality of living standards for most americans, by failing to increase pay proportionately.
OR you could just do away with this free trade nonsense, where in the interest of increased global commerce, we do away with our import tariffs which protect american jobs and revenue circulation, and other countries do away with their tariffs too (by keeping them and re-naming them VAT taxes). Which doesn't really increase global commerce except to increase our trade deficit, and make it easier to export jobs, both of which have a long term detrimental effect on the economy.

actually, letting my subconscious dwell on this topic for a bit, an answer came to me that makes a fair bit of sense. replacing corporate income taxes with a federal sales tax could be made to work decently enough ...perhaps
trying to adjust taxation to avoid penalizing american competitiveness in domestic and global markets is generally a 'good' goal, but unfortunately most right wing lovin' for rich/corporate is focused on the idea of screwing the little guy, not screwing the competition. I am reminded of a time in european history, where when armies went to war, the officers and commanders would meet & have tea, because they had more in common with each other than the their own troops. I fear classism of that magnitude still abounds, and the troops suffer for it.
-

It has only worked in societies which deal honestly* with tax issues--Not the U.S. For example, Japan has a very low corporate tax and a national sales tax. BUT the sales tax is allocated by the national constitution to go only to various social security programs. In addition, in Japan the estate tax (which Republicans call "death tax") is in the high-90% rates after about $1 million.

*--For example, not paying for wars with a credit card, or saying you want to reduce taxes when what you want to do is end social programs or public education.

I've often mused that someone should come up with a browser addon that, when you rest your cursor on the name of a Congressman in a news article, would popup a box that lists all the corporations who contributed to their campaign coffers...especially if the contributors had to do with the news in question. So for instance if the news article was about the BP oil spill and the dude who was talking about it had received $100,000 from BP, the popup would show that.
Until that happens, we have this:

What's funny is that the story originated in the Rick Perry campaign, so naturally the right-wing babblefest blames it on "the liberal press". I suspect the party will dump him with the meme that he handled the news so badly. There is something to be said for that--Clinton got blind-sided at a photo-op with a question about Monica. Cain had a ten-day warning from Politico, and he still came up with four different and conflicting responses in the first two days after the story broke.
Of course, what little has come out so far doesn't do Herman much credit for style. Somebody should have told him that crotch-grabs aren't cool.

Two quick thoughts after Perry's "oh, yeah, the EPA, no, not really the EPA, oops" flub:
1. Notice how how he began with "First I would cut Education." With a premise like that, stated almost boastfully, is the conclusion really so surprising?
2. Anyone remember Paris Hilton's cogent little response when McCain mentioned her? The GOP needs to run Paris Hilton. It's not a question of "They could do worse," because they already are.

From time to time I read references to Fox News as Fix News or Faux News or whatever, and I understand and appreciate the meaning behind such jokes, and yet the names themselves have never really caught fire with me, they've never quite summed up the Fox News phenomenon for me in a satisfying way.
Now, at last, the Herman Cain phenomenon has spelled it out for me.
From now on I shall think of Fox News as Fuck News.
No, sadly, not as a reference to sex. (And by the way, I'm getting dead dog tired of hearing that Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Ann Coulter are the only sexy women on Earth -- or even that Ann Coulter is supposed to be allegedly sexy to begin with. Starting tomorrow MSNBC is giving Alex Wagner her own news hour, just give me her and Tamron Hall and I could be one VERY happy man.)
No, I'm thinking that one day Roger Ailes woke up and decided "You know what -- FUCK NEWS. Fuck the very idea of news. What is news but a lot of dreary, conflicting, depressing information anyway? So fuck it, already. Let us create something new, a kind of anti-news, and even call it Fuck News -- but subliminally, subliminally."
No doubt that's what a lot of viewers have been thinking. "Why does news always have to pile on all this tiresome information that runs counter to my personal dogma? Why can't news always make me feel good on my own terms, or get upset when I get upset, or make a bad joke when I make a bad joke?" And the hell of it is, so many of us can relate to this, especially when the news tells us "Guess what, since some people out there are obsessed with Lindsey Lohan and the Kardashians, we've decided to be obsessed too and to try to get you obsessed as well." Sadly, though, the only rebel on that score is PBS, because as near as I can see Fox is no less obsessed -- even if it's in the name of poking fun, it's still air time getting blown on meaningless bullshit.
But it took Herman Cain to clarify this for me. Here's a man with harassment charges being brought against him, and the reaction seems to be to treat such charges almost as badges of honor. "Where are we hearing these charges? In the news media, right? Well, therefore, they have to be false."
Any day now someone will print, and sell at great profit, a T-shirt reading FUCK INFORMATION. Or perhaps more lucidly FUCK INFORMATION -- JUST TELL ME WHAT'S RIGHT.
Fuck News. I submit that, subliminally, that's exactly what the audience is thinking.

::) I love the cartoon, Zookie! I am intrigued by anything about my senator, Patty Murray. She is a reincarnation of my hero, Warren G. Magnuson, whose seat she holds. What makes her interesting is that she originally primaried an "unbeatable" incumbent who then withdrew in a sex scandal. She has been elected three times against opponents who all expected to defeat her. She, like Magnuson, may be the most-underestimated member of the senate. I think she's going to get it done with a tax increase.
For the record, in the cartoon she is the person who asks about tacos.

V to 6 below: hey, speak for yourself, I'm a big fan of the word "hath." ;) Besides, I always leave out the 31 and the February, those are easy to deduce anyway. (Knuckles?)
-
I thought that was a fairly well-known rule of spelling in easy-to-remember rhyme form. I think I once heard a version with another verse after that, but I can't recall what it was. The one cited works for me far better than that garbage for figuring out which months have 30 days and which have 31 (I use my knuckles for that, it's much simpler).
A to Druul: You go from your index finger to your pinky, counting on your knuckles AND in the "valleys" between each knuckle, incrementing the month each time. So January would be on the knuckle of your index finger, February in between the knuckles of your index and middle fingers, March on the knuckle of your middle finger, and so on to July on the knuckle of your pinky finger. Then you reverse direction, beginning on the knuckle of your pinky finger with August, proceeding to September in the between the knuckles of your pinky and ring fingers, and so on. The months assigned to your knuckles are the ones with 31 days, all the months in the "valleys" between have fewer than 31 days. Easy! Though I think I've now used the word "knuckle" waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times.
Aaaaaand of course Wikipedia has this information conveniently displayed in case that paragraph didn't make enough sense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Month_-_Knuckles_(en).svg

Zook, I give the man points for comprehensiveness, up to concluding with "No? Well, I had to give it a shot."
Went nearly all week without my Maddow, but the other night she made an interesting semi-serious point. Is it possible that Herman Cain is a performance artist? She found four examples on which to build her case. First: Cain very thoroughly quoted, of all things, a song from the "Pokemon 2000" movie. Next: the makers of Sim City, a variant of The Sims concentrating on urban planning, evidently already had their own 9-9-9 plan before Cain ever appeared and even ran an anti-Cain political ad based on that. Next: Cain described himself as "the brother from another mother" -- a Chris Tucker line from the movie "Rush Hour 3." Most recently: Cain said "I'm a leader, not a reader" -- paraphrasing a politician from "The Simpsons Movie" who declares "I was elected to lead. Not to read."
By all rights, it should indeed be possible for a Republican to win the White House in 2012, and yet, with all this yoyoing -- "It's Palin! No -- it's Trump! No -- it's Perry! No -- it's Cain! No -- it's Gingrich!" -- and each frontrunner managing to shoot himself in the foot, Ann Coulter's prediction that they'll run Romney and lose could come to pass anyway. If this is true, then in future history the GOP may be remembered best in this time for the performance art of Herman Cain. Just wait and see what his next cultural cross-reference will be.
-
Cain as performance artist? Perhaps. I just think he's on some high-quality weed. Good thing is, if he ever gets the munchies, he has a pizza place on speed-dial.

I think PregNut was using 'weird' not so much to question the rule of "'i' before 'e' except after 'c'", as much as to illustrate the classic exception to said rule.
Meaning that perhaps the rule should be revised to say "'i' before 'e' except after 'c', except for 'weird' which is just weird". ;)

CNN: "Stephen Colbert must be stopped!" (http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/14/opinion/obeidallah-colbert-danger/index.html?hpt=hp_c3)
Stephen Colbert -- host of "The Colbert Report" and unabashed right wing radical -- is now considering running for President of the United States of America.
Simply put: Colbert must be stopped! He is an existential threat to our way of life and to the exceptional nature of our nation.
I know some will dismiss the threat posed by Colbert -- these apologists will defend him as "harmless" or say he's no more than "a charismatic speaker" -- but that is exactly what they said about Hitler....
And not only are Colbert's views on the radical fringe of American society, I don't trust him. Why? Because his positions on the issues have remained constant. He doesn't waver or have multiple opinions on the same issue.
In contrast, a person like Mitt Romney has evolved over time and has been on both sides of issues like abortion, gay marriage and health insurance. (Romney should embrace this with the campaign slogan: "Me, too!")
Colbert has only two qualities I like: 1. He's a friend of Jon Stewart and 2. He has good hair. Besides that, he is a danger to our Republic.
And let's not forget that Colbert admitted that he makes up facts to support his own political arguments, as he gleefully boasted once: "I can't prove it, but I can say it."
America cannot afford a man with the views of Stephen Colbert running our nation. Colbert doesn't belong in the White House, instead he belongs on basic cable right before reruns of "Scrubs."

I think it was sometime last week that I was catching MSNBC and Howard Fineman (who hails not just from my city but my neighborhood) likened Santorum to the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" -- you know, the one who gets his arm hacked off by Arthur but says "It's only a flesh wound" and keeps going till he has no arms and legs and only then says "Right, we'll call it a draw." At least Santorum got out while he still had an arm to crawl around with. Anyhow, I'd love to see someone do a Python tribute based on this.

Conservative Bedtime Stories (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2012/04/conservative-bedtime-stories.html) by Tom McNichol
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. When the time came for them to enter the free market, their mother, who was still married to their father and therefore happier and more successful than the divorced swine in the neighborhood, told them, "Whatever you build in the world, make it as good as you can. And if possible, use other peoples' money...."
But the third pig purchased a basket of collateralized debt obligations tied to subprime mortgage-backed securities and then got out of the market just before housing prices collapsed because of all the money the F.H.A. had foolishly lent to pigs who had no business buying houses in the first place. With the profits from the C.D.O.s, shielded from excessive government taxation by a series of perfectly legal multi-layer transactions that routed the assets through a shell company in the Cayman Islands, the third pig built his house out of sturdy bricks.

Ha I like the solar power thing, I think that is so true. I work for a city government as a cop. My boss and I were driving by a building that had recently installed solar panels that were going to give the majority of the power the building needs. The property owners had to get permission from the city council to put up the panels. My boss, who isn't the brightest bulb, informed me that the city should have vetoed the panels. I asked why and his reply was because it was taking away money from the city on utility commission. His way of saying this was a bit more dumbed down, but that is what he said. I didn't even have a reply because I can't call my boss a moron. Guess he isn't into the "green" movement, or rational thought.

Not to come off like an eco-weenie, but of course I agree with you.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to produce electricity have dropped significantly in price over the past couple of decades, and when their purchase/installation is subsidized to some reasonable extent, a strong case can be made for their use in many instances (my home has been completely solar powered for almost 10 years now and the system has paid for itself by this point... it's also saved about 40 tons of pollution from being pumped into the air, but I won't bore anyone with such trivial details ;)).
Before anyone points to my 'subsidized' qualifier and gets all foamy at the mouth, screaming 'Aha! It's not economically viable if it can't compete without public subsidies!' let me point out the obvious fact that still seems to elude just about every talking head who's ever appeared on Faux Nooz: the fossil fuel industry has (and continues to) enjoy/ed untold billions in direct tax breaks/other monetary incentives/absolution for its financial impact on public health and the environment for decades... so, if you think that the relatively low price you pay at the pump for a gallon of gas in the U.S. (or a KWH of electricity from a coal-fired power plant) is an actual real-world retail price free of subsidies, you're either woefully misinformed or willfully ignorant.
What irks me so much more than ignoring facts to support an otherwise unsustainable position (like your boss) is the staunch opposition in some quarters to the very idea of energy conservation. If you want to believe that solar panels are the devil's toy and inherently anti-capitalist, or are opposed to wind power or biomass or hybrid cars or recycling or whatever as a matter of principle or belief, why must so many pundits also crap all over the concept that there's benefit in simply using no more power (or resources) than is necessary? To hear some folks talk about it, America's longstanding habit of over-consumption is not just our patriotic duty, but also a God-given right. We're a relatively small fraction of the world's population, yet we use a wildly disproportionate percentage of the world's energy and resources (and produce way more pollution per capita too). Whenever I've brought this up, I often get the same reaction that McGarp's boss would likely give: 'if I don't use lots of stuff (energy/new products/outsourced services) all the time, it'll hurt the jobs of those who provide those goods and services.' Again, it's not seeing the entire forest because of the tree standing right in front of you, and this sort of blissfully ignorant myopia is depressing :-[ and frustrating. >:( The fact that such idiocy is so often wrapped in the false flag of patriotism (and/or quasi-religious superiority/entitlement) doesn't make it any easier to swallow. :-X
This is analogous to all the holier-than-thou railing and wailing against the proposed cuts to the U.S. defense budget, often using the same twisted logic described above: job protection... as well as the 'national defense' canard too of course. Depending on how you count, America outspends the next 20 to 30 countries combined on its military... even though most of those 20-30 nations also happen to be our allies. Yet, when some modest, common-sense reductions are suggested in light of the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression, various politicians and analysts and commentators and just-plain-folks get all red-faced and full of righteous indignation about how such cutbacks would imperil our very existence. It's patently absurd: even if every proposed cut were implemented, we'd still spend an order of magnitude more on defense than the next bunch of countries combined. As if that wouldn't possibly be enough. ::)
It's all sort of surreal... this embracing of tunnel vision... of short-term thinking... the voluntary (and apparently cherished) practice of ignoring scientific fact, common sense and anything resembling the bigger picture.
Alright, I'll shut up now.
Added later after I was shut up for a few hours ;): coincidentally, I just saw on the news today that Germany (the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world and a manufacturing super-power whose citizens enjoy a high average standard of living) is currently getting 20% of its entire power needs from renewable sources (primarily wind and solar). That's compared to just a percent or two here in the U.S. I wonder if those so opposed to increasing the percentage of energy obtained from renewable sources in America think that Germany has more land, sun or wind than we do. ::)

The world has what I tend to call "pond whales." (I tried coining the term here some time ago but it never seemed to catch on.) This is the idea of the big fish in the little pond. A pond whale isn't necessarily a bad person, but perhaps a little too comfortable for his or her own good. Knowing that a lot of people tend to place a high value on someone who happens to be an acquaintance or in their immediate neighborhood, a pond whale establishes a reputation within a small set group as someone to go to for all the answers. If you're lucky, your pond whale may indeed be good for a lot of answers -- but then again, he or she may not. Remember that guy Heene, the guy who had that whole little "balloon boy" scare going a couple of years ago when his son was allegedly hiding inside some big stray balloon? He was the kind of guy who impressed his neighbors as being some great scientist -- but any scrutiny from outside could show that he was not. He had a "series" on Youtube that was pretty wretched. I take Heene as a classic pond whale.
Mind you, I'm always hoping that some obscure and eccentric visionary somewhere in some tiny corner of the world is piecing things together in a way that may truly revolutionize our world. I hope for that -- but at exactly the same time I keep my eyes open for the pond whales, for guys like the "self-taught physicist" Joseph Newman who once made it onto the Tonight Show to talk with Johnny Carson. It all depends on what you want and feel that you need. If really all you want is to chew the fat with some friends and stick with jokes you know everyone in your group will always laugh at, then a pond whale may be all you need. But if you ever want to keep challenging yourself, then you need to keep looking to a farther horizon. Yes, the world is filled with a lot of stupid fads, and headlong progress with no idea of where it's going, and critics and enemies and all kinds of irresponsible ideas -- but if you want to keep honing an idea to its finest point, then the truth, regardless of how dumb "The X-Files" was, does indeed tend to be out there. And who knows, perhaps the ocean whales aren't really all that much smarter after all than the pond whales. But at least you get to see the ocean.

@Palomine....
Problem with solar is that it's not cheap to store the energy. Unless the panel is in an area with no clouds, power output will fluctuate.
It all comes down to numbers, and there.. I'm not convinced nuclear isn't better. It provides stable, predictable output.
Cost of a system where you not only have unpredictable amounts of power, you also have to have huge energy storage facilities and more massive transmission grid.. to cope with demand. And there, you only have ~50% efficiency at best, meaning any stored energy is twice as expensive as energy from nuclear, hydro or coal.
^^so, it's very hard to compute the numbers... and people often don't want to.
BTW...someone counted the dead, and the most dangerous source of energy is coal. Between dead coal miners, their diseases and dirty air..
Doesn't matter what is better: nuclear power is not easy to understand, therefore, people fear it disproportionately. Humans are not rational, but rationalizing in general.

I'm not anti-nuclear... heck, I'm not even an anti-fossil-fuels absolutist because I know that realistically, we'll need a variety of power sources for many decades to come. However, the regulatory hurdles associated with building new nuclear power plants along with the (justifiably high) insurance/liability concerns and costs mean that the U.S. will probably not see France or (pre-Fukishima) Japan percentages of its power coming from nuclear... at least not in our lifetimes. And then there's the matter of what to do with the nuclear waste, which remains a political problem, if not a technical one. Finally, historically the myth of nuclear providing cheap power turned out to be just that: a myth... the price per KWH doesn't undercut that of fossil fuels due to the extremely high costs of building and operating nuclear plants... so, it's not a magic bullet for a variety of reasons. Of course, it has killed far fewer people than coal-derived power as you rightly point out, so there's that. :)
Yes, solar (and wind and tidal) are not steady-state sources of power, and creating systems to store the power they generate adds cost and complexity... again, that's why we need a combination of different sources (despite my home producing far more power than I need, I remain connected to the power grid due to the burdens that a large battery system involves... when I can add a fuel cell and hydrogen storage tank for $5K, then I'll get off the grid). Conceivably, renewables could satisfy a significant portion of the American demand for electricity (whether via distributed (home) or centralized (power station) methods) particularly when demands for power are highest (summer days). And come night-time, a greater percentage of the power can then come from traditional (fossil fueled) plants. However, with less than a couple percent of U.S. power coming from renewables, and our national power grid so antiquated, no amount of good intentions or wishful thinking is going to change the fact that we're way behind Germany and other nations in terms of diversifying our energy portfolio. I won't bore anyone here with a discussion of why that lack of diversification (i.e.: our overwheming dependence on fossil fuels in general, and on imported oil in particular) is a concern when it comes to our economic development and to our national security.
Unlike most professional politicians, I spend time thinking about what the world will be like farther down the road than just the next election cycle... 10, 20 or 50 years from now. I'd like to see average Americans able to continue to enjoy a decent standard of living well into the future, despite the changing world we live in.

This is one of the reasons I tend to prefer politicians who are actively involved in raising chidren; they tend to have a 20-year timeline instead of a two-year timeline. This year's Republican presidential crop was particularly disappointing; the Dunning-Kruger Effect was much in evidence.

There was an editorial in our local paper about the Keystone pipeline. I live in the state that is most affected by the pipeline, I have no problem with it. But the Obama adminstration has been sitting on it for years now and they still have no clue what to do.
Getting caught up in U.S. presidential politics can be risky for any foreign government. For the government of friendly, reliable Canada, it's been an ongoing exercise in frustration. Canada is blessed with massive oil reserves in and around its landlocked province of Alberta. To make the most of its oil-sands wealth, Canada needs to get the product to market. America, naturally, is the handiest potential customer.
The Keystone XL Pipeline would bring Canadian oil from Alberta to Nebraska, where it would continue on to U.S. refineries near the Gulf of Mexico. Keystone would go a long way toward solving the problem of what to do with all that potentially lucrative and useful oil piling up in the northern reaches of North America. The U.S. could use it, that's for sure.
In a sop to its eco-green political base, though, the administration of President Barack Obama blocked the Keystone pipeline in January. Now the project is under review again at the U.S. State Department, which has jurisdiction because the pipeline would cross our border with Canada. Last week, the diplomats announced plans to make a final decision on the project by the first quarter of 2013 — a date that not coincidentally puts off the issue until after the Nov. 6 election.
How convenient for the president and his re-election strategists!
To everyone else, though, this is ridiculous: The project has been under review for more than four years. The only remaining question involves a short stretch of what would be a large-scale, job-creating boon to the nation's energy infrastructure. The administration owes TransCanada, the company seeking to build the pipeline, a timely decision.
Consider how the latest roadblock came to be: The original route of the pipeline crossed a portion of the sparsely populated Nebraska Sandhills that sits over the massive Ogallala aquifer. Fear-mongers who opposed the project — mostly because they oppose the use of fossil fuels in general — managed to gin up concern that an important underground source of fresh water would be at risk of pollution.
It's a phony issue. More than 15,000 miles of pipeline already crisscross the aquifer in seven states, with no dire consequences to date. Keystone, engineered to the most modern standards, likely would be the safest of all.
Because of the political scrutiny the project has endured, the pipeline is being overbuilt to guard against practically any foreseeable mishap. It would be buried extra-deep in the ground, for instance, and equipped with higher-than-normal numbers of remote-controlled shut-off valves. The company has agreed to a rigorous regimen of pipeline inspections — a costly exercise that would be better aimed at older, less-advanced systems. And pipelines, remember, are by far the safest way to move oil cross-country, much more so than rail or truck transport.
The facts hardly matter, however. TransCanada agreed to sidestep the bogus water fears by rerouting roughly 90 miles of pipeline. That small section is the only part that hasn't received minute inquiry from the affected states and the federal government. It simply shouldn't take the better part of a year to make a decision. We suspect, however, that no amount of diplomacy or common sense will get the job done before the election.
For a while, we thought high gasoline prices might do the trick. Republicans were gearing up this spring to channel public anger over sticker-shock at the pump into a call for action on Keystone. The recent decline in the cost of gas has bought the president some breathing room, unfortunately.
Yet the administration might have less room to maneuver than commonly supposed.
Canadian government officials and energy companies are seeking alternatives for bringing their nation's booming oil output to market. The Keystone XL bottleneck gives them a huge financial incentive to do so. Canadian crude sells at a discount of $20 or greater per barrel compared with the same oil in more accessible parts of the world. As the U.S. dithers, Canada is accelerating three separate pipeline proposals — two traveling westbound toward the Pacific coast, the other eastbound to a tanker port in Maine.
As a practical matter, those projects could divert oil supplies away from U.S. markets. Yet for Americans they are no substitute for Keystone XL. The U.S. Gulf Coast is home to dozens of refineries eager to replace declining imports from Mexico and Venezuela. The U.S. needs this pipeline as much as Canada does.

"Mitt Romney Soars In Polls After Leaving The Country"
WASHINGTON—According to a newly released USA Today/Gallup poll, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's favorability has surged to 64 percent since he left the country Wednesday for a three-nation overseas trip. "Once Gov. Romney was no longer within the borders of the United States and was instead many thousands of miles away from American voters, his popularity immediately spiked across almost all demographics," said political analyst Mark Halperin, noting that the electorate has been invigorated by Romney's complete absence from campaign events, rallies, and town hall meetings. "It seems that the farther away Romney travels, the more people like him. By the time his plane touches down in Israel, I wouldn't be surprised if his favorability rating isn't somewhere in the high 70s." Experts were quick to note the number remains well below Romney’s historical high of 89 percent, reached in February 2008 when the former Massachusetts governor announced his withdrawal from that year's presidential race.

EASTWOOD NOMINATES EMPTY CHAIR AS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
Tampa (RNN): In a move that surprised everyone at the Republican National Convention, Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood nominated an empty chair as their candidate for President. Citing its “unblemished reputation” and “sturdy construction”, Eastwood said in a rambling speech that the metal and plastic chair symbolized small business, the construction industry, and was something that would readily serve all Americans.
Governor Mitt Romney stated that while the chair was a fine representative of Republican values, he questioned its ability to create jobs, reduce the deficit, strengthen the military, and lower taxes at the same time. He also challenged the chair to pledge to repeal “Obamacare”. Other prominent Republicans echoed his views. Newt Gingrich challenged the chair to a series of debates; Gov. Chris Christie noted that the chair, while strong, was possibly not large enough to serve everyone.
A number of delegates we heard to comment to the effect that even an empty chair was better than the Socialist Muslim Non-Citizen currently occupying the White House.

How much you wanna bet that Dirty Harry was a mole for the Obama team, to try and highlight just how out of touch and unfocused the Republicans are in this election? I mean, come on.

Not exactly new news, but there's an impressive correlation between 'Red' states (traditionally condemning 'big government' support, social programs and anything non-Republican/not fiscally 'conservative') and those states that historically receive more in actual financial support from the Federal government than they contribute back to the U.S. in tax revenue. Such handout hypocrisy is hardly news, but I bet it would come as a surprise to many Red state residents.
It brings new meaning to the phrase 'in the red.' ;)
BTW: perennially Blue California, despite all its fiscal woes and its enormous population (1 out of every 9 Americans is a Californian) gives the US more $ than it gets back in support. In many Red states (and almost all southern Red states) it's the exact opposite: they take more (in some cases far more) than they give. But God forbid the Federal government should do anything to help poor and middle-class folks who can't afford health care... that would be a 'handout' and not the job of government. ::)

There certainly was. The initiative passed by a large margin--considerably larger than gay marriage--and all across the state. Like most states, we have urban-liberal and rural-conservative areas, but this initiative passed in most counties regardless of other politics. Prosecutors in the two most populous counties have already dropped all small-quantity possession cases.
Strangely enough, civilization has not collapsed; but "Tea Party" has a whole new meaning.

When I was a kid, there were these wonderful cartoons about a wolf and a sheepdog. At the beginning of every day, they would walk up to a tree with a clock on it, mutter some greetings to each other, and get their time cards punched. Then they would spend the entire day antagonizing each other. It was a variation on the whole Coyote and Road Runner formula, because the wolf never won. The wolf would try to steal away a sheep and the sheepdog would always catch him, and it just went on like that, all day long. Then at the end, they would go back to that tree, mumble some farewells to each other, and call it a day. That cartoon always stuck in my memory as a commentary on how too much of life actually works. So many of us are gainfully employed purely to fuck around with other people and their business. It's an empty pointless endless game, and yet an economy of some sort can be generated from it. Orwell addressed this on a far grander scale, explaining why Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia needed to be locked in perpetual war.
Over the years, I have long wondered: who were their employers? They had to be getting paid by someone, as clocking in and out is scarcely a ritual one engages in purely for the hell of it. It makes sense to pay the sheepdog, as the sheep are valuable and he's clearly doing his job. But what does anyone gain from paying the wolf? Would the wolf share his spoils? Is there some incentive to try to sabotage the wool or mutton industries? And even if there is a rationale, the wolf should have been fired long ago, because he is simply terrible at his job.
But then, just last night, I finally figured out who the wolf's employer is. It's Sheldon Adelson.

Curse you for making me take the time to analyze an aspect of a series of Looney Tunes cartoons!
I would suggest that the "employer" of the sheepdog/wolf is simply "Nature". Once they punch in, they take on the simple roles assigned to them by virtue of being a sheepdog and a wolf: the wolf hunts the sheep, the sheepdog thwarts the wolf. Cartoony violence and Wile E. Coyote-style planning ensue, because that's fun to watch. Then at the end of the day (or during their lunch hour), they punch out and leave behind the roles assigned to them by nature, even stopping mid-fight to take off. And from everything we see of the two when they're "off the clock", they're perfectly civil, even friendly fellows who don't even bear a grudge.
So from that perspective: Nature makes us fundamentally who we are, and can even dictate the roles in which we find ourselves every day. But underneath what Nature has assigned to us for survival (and beyond the trappings of conflict/violence/etc. which we can become embroiled in), people can actually be decent, civil, and really much more alike than we'd expect.

Later in the evening, the host interrupted me to point out that the mayor himself had just arrived. Did I want to meet him? Sure. My friend and I followed the host over, shook Bloomberg’s hand, and my friend thanked him for his position on gun control. Without even acknowledging the comment, Bloomberg gestured toward a woman in a very tight floor-length gown standing nearby and said, “Look at the ass on her.”

Someone I know (who apparently hates Obama) posted that pic on F@cebook with the comment that he claimed to have never fired a gun. I'm confused; I thought the reason why they released that pic was because he *had* claimed to have fired a gun, and (like the stupid birth certificate deal) there was some demand for proof to back up the claim.
These days, the standard/stereotypical right-wingers aren't so much "funny" as they are "confusing" to me. I mean, the same person linked an image where priority #1 for what they want for the USA was "No Obama"...well, that's going to be the case in 4 years no matter what, so why are they kicking up a fuss about it?!

I mean, the same person linked an image where priority #1 for what they want for the USA was "No Obama"...well, that's going to be the case in 4 years no matter what, so why are they kicking up a fuss about it?!
From what I've seen on the web, he's suppose to be skeet shooting in the photo but skeet shooters are saying there's no way he's skeet shooting in that pic. It must be a staged photo.
-
Of course it was a staged photo -- to show that all the gun crazies who claim that he has never fired a gun are full of shit.

I miss Hillary and her sense of fashion. ::) ;)

Maybe there's something magic about shooting skeet, but could somebody tell me why that gun is venting thru the top of the barrel?

Quoted for irony. Yes; so why vent the barrel?
I've never shot skeet; is this some sort of modification? If so, what does it do? Slow the shot? Reduce the range?

The barrel heats up when the weapon is fired, thus the sights become off center. The ventilated rib is above the barrel and has air cooling the bridge the sights are on, so it keeps it more accurate.

Left Action: Ask Dick Cheney: Are You High? (http://leftaction.com/action/ask-dick-cheney-are-you-high)
Send a message to Dick Cheney. Ask him a question: "Are you high?"
After the disastrous foreign policy record of the Bush-Cheney administration, it takes an unbelievable amount of chutzpah for you to go on the attack against President Obama national security appointments. And yet, recently, Cheney has done just that:
"The performance now of Barack Obama as he staffs up the national security team for the second term is dismal," Cheney said in comments to about 300 members of the Wyoming Republican Party... "Frankly, what he has appointed are second-rate people," he said.
This from a man who was co-captain of a team that:
- Lied us into an unnecessary war
- Mismanaged that war disastrously
- Was the top cheerleader for torture
We could go on and on, but anyone who lived through those 8 years knows what a disaster it was.
Anyone, apparently, except for Dick Cheney. Which raises a question - is Cheney high? How else to explain the nonsense he's spouting?

For the youngsters among us, prior to 1986 the FCC enforced something called the Fairness Doctrine. As a condition of maintaining its license, a television station which gave air time to a politician had to offer air time to either all opponents for that office, or (between campaigns) to "opposing political views". Throughout the 1980s Rupert Murdoch had been renting more and more congressmen until by 1986 he was able to get legislation directed at the FCC through Congress abolishing the restrictions on foreign ownership and fairness.
Out of habit the networks and some stations carry "responses" to all significant presidential speeches, except Fox when Bush was president.

Bill Clinton steps out onto the White House lawn in the dead of winter.
Right in front of him, on the White House lawn, he sees "The President Must Go" written in urine across the snow.
Well, old Bill is pretty ticked off. He storms into his security staff's HQ, and yells "Somebody wrote a threat in the snow on the front damn lawn! And they wrote it in urine! Son-of-a-bitch had to be standing right on the porch when he did it! Where were you guys?!"
The security guys stay silent and stare ashamedly at the floor.
Bill hollers, "Well dammit, don`t just sit there! Get out and FIND OUT WHO DID IT! I want an answer, and I want it TONIGHT!"
The entire staff immediately jumps up and races for the exits. Later that evening, his chief security officer approaches him and says, "Well Mr. President, we have some bad news and we have some really bad news. Which do you want first?"
Clinton says, "Oh hell, give me the bad news first."
The officer says, "Well, we took a sample of the urine and tested it. The results just came back, and it was Al Gore's urine."
Clinton says, "Oh my god, I feel so...so...betrayed! My own Vice President! Damn!...Well, what's the really bad news?"
The officer replies: "Well, sir, it's Hillary's handwriting."

This is an actual, real, serious petition on the White House website:
"WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Require Congressmen & Senators to wear logos of their financial backers on their clothing, much like NASCAR drivers do." (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/require-congressmen-senators-wear-logos-their-financial-backers-their-clothing-much-nascar-drivers/vZBQJ18R)
Since most politicians' campaigns are largely funded by wealthy companies and individuals, it would give voters a better sense of who the candidate they are voting for is actually representing if the company's logo, or individual's name, was prominently displayed upon the candidate's clothing at all public appearances and campaign events. Once elected, the candidate would be required to continue to wear those "sponsor's" names during all official duties and visits to constituents. The size of a logo or name would vary with the size of a donation. For example, a $1 million dollar contribution would warrant a patch of about 4" by 8" on the chest, while a free meal from a lobbyist would be represented by a quarter-sized button. Individual donations under $1000 are exempt.

Billboard Magazine: "Judy Garland's 'Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead' Climbs UK Charts Following Margaret Thatcher's Death"
I haven't watched any U.S. news about her death, but in Britain and the former colonies there is quite a celebration, including a party in Vancouver that the police are calling a "riot". Next to Reagan, she was probably the most hated electoral mistake, but this makes our celebrations seem pale by comparison.
-
Bio, help me out, I was barely a teenager -- wasn't there partying going on when Nixon resigned?
-
Bio, help me out, I was barely a teenager -- wasn't there partying going on when Nixon resigned?
My memory goes back to March 31, 1968, when LBJ announced he "...would not seek and will not accept..." another term. It took about ten minutes for that to sink in before the parties started. But that happened at night. I think that's why Nixon scheduled his departure for noon, when anyone who worked for a living was busy. There was a lot of celebration, but it was dampened just a bit, as I recall, because when Johnson left it had seemed there could be no one worse, and we had promptly elected someone much worse.
The other reason celebration was dampened when Nixon left was Gerry Ford, who turned out to have been much better than anyone expected. But at the time no one knew and, given Nixon's evil genius for picking vice presidents, we couldn't be sure that Ford wasn't another Agnew.
-
IIRC, Nixon didn't choose Gerald Ford as his Vice-President; he was the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives when Spiro Agnew (the VP and therefore Senate president pro tempore) resigned. From the order of succession, he was next in line.
"I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your president by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your president with your prayers...
I have not sought this enormous responsibility, but I will not shirk it. Those who nominated and confirmed me as Vice President were my friends and are my friends. They were of both parties, elected by all the people and acting under the Constitution in their name. It is only fitting then that I should pledge to them and to you that I will be the President of all the people...
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule. But there is a higher Power, by whatever name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only justice, but mercy. ... let us restore the golden rule to our political process, and let brotherly love purge our hearts of suspicion and hate."
A much-underrated human being, was Jerry Ford, though still imperfect: both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney served as his Chief of Staff.
Now, regarding Lady Thatcher, yeah, she was a nasty piece of work. I'm pretty sure she had more protest songs about her than any other politician since the 60s. As just one example, Elvis Costello's "Tramp The Dirt Down": In it, he expresses his desire to live long enough to see Margaret Thatcher die and vows, "I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down."
-

Truly, Zookie, I am tired of being the smart-assed kid who waves his hand with the answer. But I can't resist.
There are two separate and distinct processes. Back in Truman's day, when D.C. was filled with adults, folks talked about what would happen if a nuke took out both the president and vice president, and came up with an order of succession that went thru congress, starting with the Speaker of the House, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and on down to the lowliest representative on earth, such that the first person to survive and raise his hand became president of all the rubble he could survey.
But JFK's assassination, and the year-long gap when LBJ was president and there was no vice president, created a situation where folks decided to have a process for filling the vacancy. That process, the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, took effect in 1967, and provides that the president nominates the new vice-president and s/he is elected by a majority vote of both houses of congress.
When it passed I confess that no one foresaw that it would first be used because the scumbag v.p. would make a plea deal that he would resign in exchange for no jail time for failing to pay taxes on the bribes he had taken. See, things really have been worse.

North Korean Missile Test Delayed by Windows 8
PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/))—North Korea’s official news agency announced today that the military’s planned missile test had been put on hold because of “problems with Windows 8.”
Intelligence analysts said that the announcement gave rare insight into the inner workings of North Korea’s missile program, which until last year had been running on Windows 95.
The announcement from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) did not indicate a new scheduled time for a missile test, saying only that it was “working with Windows 8 support to resolve the issue.”
In the words of one intelligence analyst, “That means the test has been delayed indefinitely.”
A source close to the North Korean regime reported that Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is furious about the Windows 8 problems and is considering a number of options, including declaring war on Microsoft.

A few days ago we were briefed at work about these devices and were told that under no circumstances they would be tolerated on the casino floor. Not only the corporation but the Nevada gaming regulatory agency stated they are verboten since they are cheating devices. Today they are easy to spot because their frames are large but as time goes by and the electronics, camera and battery are miniturised they will look just like regular, common glasses and then what ? Perhaps we will do what the military does and use countermeasures and fry our guests electronics. That will make us popular. ;D

Not all that much oil actually... if you're counting only what's technically feasible and economically viable to extract. While neoconpoops, their brethren, Faux Noozies and Dittoheads will spout off about ANWR and environs being the magic answer to "500 years of American energy independence" (who do you wanna bet funded those studies?! ;)) most reputable, non-partisan sources put the figure at something like 1-2% (at most) of the world supply. And before anyone gets all Palinesque about that, allow me to point out the reality that even if ANWR was drilled, it's not like that oil would be reserved solely for American consumers. Exxon and Co. are mutinationals and the markets for all resources are global... so quite a bit of that ANWR crude would likely end up in China, all things considered.

And don't forget, there are different grades of crude oil.
The vertical axis is "API", which is a measure of thickness or density. The higher the API, the thinner/lighter the oil. The horizontal axis gives the sulfur content.
The Alberta tar sands are very close to the "Maya" grade. It takes a hell of a lot of nasty, toxic processing of the sludge to just get it thin enough to put into a pipeline, and then you have to do even more icky stuff to it to remove all the toxic crap you added to thin it....

I guess the many people bombed in Belgrade don't count. Zero casualties ? We lost a pilot in a F-117 and one in a F-16 which got shot down. Guess they don't count. By your definition of not war I guess Desert Storm wasn't a war since we had so few casualties even though the Iraqis lost a boatload of people and materiel. So what is war ? I guess since Truman called Korea a " Police Action " that ain't war. Guess those of us who served have a different definition than those who haven't. Just because it is a small war it doesn't mean it ain't war. The Marine Corps recognized this years ago when they wrote " The small wars manual " in 1938 when they summarized and cataloged their actions from the Spanish - American through their wars in the Caribbean up to 1935 and has been updated to this day. The people at the receiving end of your bombs will probably think of it as war. And just because Congress hasn't declared war it doesn't mean it isn't war.

There is also the battle of Mogadishu. Even made a movie about it. 18 American soldiers were killed and 73 wounded. It was the deadliest battle involving US troops since the Vietnam war.

A man whose wit was matched only by the looseness of his tongue, the combative John Adams quickly acquired a hefty reputation for articulate jabs and razor-sharp put-downs at the expense of his allies and (numerous) rivals alike, including some of the most celebrated figures in American history (Bob Dole once described him as “an eighteenth-century Don Rickles”). Here are some of his best zingers.
1. On Benjamin Franklin
“His whole life has been one continued insult to good manners and to decency.”
2. On Alexander Hamilton
“That bastard brat of a Scottish peddler! His ambition, his restlessness and all his grandiose schemes come, I'm convinced, from a superabundance of secretions, which he couldn't find enough whores to absorb!”
(Hamilton certainly wasn't above returning the fire.)
3. On Thomas Paine's Common Sense
“What a poor, ignorant, malicious, crapulous mass.”
(For more on their relationship, head here.)
4. On George Washington
“That Washington is not a scholar is certain. That he is too illiterate, unlearned, unread for his station is equally beyond dispute.”
5. On the City of Philadelphia
“Phyladelphia [sic], with all its trade and wealth and regularity, is not Boston. The morals of our people are much better; their manners are more polite and agreeable... Our language is better, our taste is better, our persons are handsomer; our spirit is greater, our laws are wiser, our religion is better, our education is better. We exceed them in every thing, but in a market.”
6. On Thomas Jefferson
“His soul is poisoned with ambition.”

This has to go in the "funny" thread. For more than a week Republican Congressional leaders have demanded that President Obama put any military action against Syria to a vote of Congress. As recently as last night John McCain made that demand on the Jay Leno show. This morning the President made a statement that he would put the matter to Congress as soon as they resume. I just heard a brief news broadcast which reported that Lindsay Graham has demanded that the President act without further Congressional action.

ST. PETERSBURG (The Borowitz Report)—Hopes for a positive G20 summit crumbled today as President Obama blurted to Russia’s Vladimir Putin at a joint press appearance, “Everyone here thinks you’re a jackass.”
The press corps appeared stunned by the uncharacteristic outburst from Mr. Obama, who then unleashed a ten-minute tirade at the stone-faced Russian President.
“Look, I’m not just talking about Snowden and Syria,” Mr. Obama said. “What about Pussy Riot? What about your anti-gay laws? Total jackass moves, my friend.”
As Mr. Putin narrowed his eyes in frosty silence, Mr. Obama seemed to warm to his topic.
“If you think I’m the only one who feels this way, you’re kidding yourself,” Mr. Obama said, jabbing his finger in the direction of the Russian President’s face. “Ask Angela Merkel. Ask David Cameron. Ask the Turkish guy. Every last one of them thinks you’re a dick.”
Shortly after Mr. Obama’s volcanic performance, Mr. Putin released a terse official statement, reading, “I should be afraid of this skinny man? I wrestle bears.”
After one day of meetings, the G20 nations voted unanimously on a resolution that said maybe everyone should just go home.

I found this blog called "Better Book Titles" (I promise, this is the last post with it for now...I just shotgunned my way thru most of their archive) and found it highly amusing and wanted to share where appropriate. Anyway, they posit new titles for books that presumably represent the book's contents more accurately. Now this is one ("Mitt Romney: No Apology") is perhaps a bit belated, but I thought it'd be good for the thread:

Ah, I was not aware of any of the garbage being spewed about Miss America. I had only seen brief items the following day on local news shows that she won, was the 1st woman of Indian descent to get the crown, and it was NY's 2nd year in a row. That was literally the only thing I'd heard being said of her all week, and it was obviously all positive. Those Twitter reactions suck, and make me sad for the USA. :'(
-
Yeah. The ironic thing is, while all these ignorant low-lifes spout nonsense on Twitter, she's a gorgeous young woman who will reign as Miss America for a year, meet great people, do exciting things, and when it's all said and done, will receive a $50,000 scholarship and go on to medical school. So, she wins! :)
Oh, and if you didn't see the anti-Miss America backlash, maybe you should avoid Twitter for a few days since a Japanese guy won America's Got Talent (http://publicshaming.tumblr.com/post/61669005617/kenichi-ebina-wins-americas-got-talent-this-isnt) and an openly-gay guy won Big Brother too :)

For BB, I've heard lots of disparaging conversation, all of it to do with the horrible habits of most of the houseguests, not just the winner. According to feed watchers, there was a noticeable amount of racism, misogyny, & bullying (possibly some homophobia too, but the others were far more abundant)...two of the contestants were fired from their jobs as a direct result of their comments (though they didn't find out about that while they were on the show), and a third got in some trouble that may end up costing him his job too, I think. Virtually all the bad stuff (and there is quite a bit) I've read about the BB winner had nothing to do with his orientation, but rather his gameplay...he ratted out/doublecrossed/backstabbed every group that he pretended to ally with, preventing anyone from upsetting whatever the status quo was while simultaneously coming across as everyone's friend because he never got caught. And there was some mention that he would pointlessly savagely badmouth certain evictees long after they'd left the house. Anyway, the general consensus I've seen is that this season of BB was the worst in the show's history, but not once has anyone related it to the winner being gay.
In conclusion: Twitter is an awful thing, and the less attention paid to anything posted to it, the better. ::)

I hope not to bore other members, but the irony is many layers deep. Theodor Geisel was a political cartoonist before he wrote children's books under the nom de plum of Doctor Seuss (Seuss was his middle name). His cartoons were bitingly critical of Congressional Republicans who criticized Franklin Roosevelt, and he was investigated at least once by Cruz's predecessor, Joseph McCarthy. His book about Sneeches was banned from school libraries throughout the South for its clear anti-racist message, just as "Green Eggs and Ham" has long been loathed by conservatives for its embrace of new things, like new health care systems.

Gawker: "Kimmel Asks Americans to Choose: Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act" (https://www.youtube.com/v/sx2scvIFGjE&rel=0)
"If asked to pick between Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act, which would Americans choose? And would it matter to them that they are synonyms for the same fucking thing?
Jimmy Kimmel sent his Q&A crew out into the streets yet again to find out just how misled and uninformed the American public is concerning the healthcare debate, and returned with some unfortunately unsurprising responses.
And if you're under the impression that these responses were hand-picked, you might want to take a look at this CNBC poll which found that 46 percent of Americans oppose Obamacare, while only 37 percent oppose the Affordable Care Act.
This despite the fact that, again, they are the same fucking thing."

Yeah, most will go about their business and be hardly inconvenienced by the shutdown.
But don't forget that with the shutdown in the '90's, the country wasn't still in the midst of recovering from a massive economic downturn. So they are lots of people who will be truly inconvenienced by it, if not ending up losing even more ground as they struggled to get back on their feet the last few years.
But then this is all about growing American jobs (GOP.COM/JOBS); as the taking pols of the Repubs and Teas like to say over and over as one justification for their fight over "Obamacare" and the shutdown. The thing is, because of their lunacy they just made a whole lot more jobless people who can't earn a living, or who are now working without pay; but the bills still are coming due and need paid. And I'm not just talking about government employees here.

Indeed. Ain't funny at all.
This is though:
Time Magazine, you missed a golden opportunity with your “Shutdown” cover.
Because if you’re going to bring it?—?bring it big.
Time Magazine’s cover this week has been called an “extremely gloomy” take on the fiasco in progress in D.C. (and, uh, shouldn’t we be gloomy, given that we’re on Day 4 of a national hostage crisis and counting?).
Point taken. I think Time could’ve injected some levity into the situation with a variation of their American Society of Magazine Editors award finalist cover from May 21, 2012?—?and illustrated the real cause of our federal government’s incredible dysfunction in clear and transparent terms.

But then as Gene points out, the Tea Partiers all came to Washington to finally put a stop to such "business as usual" in the way things got done on Capital Hill. And all it's cost the US is some $24 Billion dollars and a projected 0.5% drop in economic growth from the expected 2.6% increase in this quarter. :-X
And Senator Ted Cruz said the fight over "Obamacare", the shutdown, and the debt ceiling was all worth it because that's what the American people wanted. :o

And yet...
Got an automated phone call today that started about how a vast majority of Americans polled (I think it said 80%) were so upset over the problems in D.C. that they were claiming to be ready to vote out the government. Then the next sentence began with how Obama and the Democrats refused to negotiate, and before it got any further I hung up.
Much as I'd like to think that this whole debacle will shake things back into a more moderate stance (mainly from the conservatives, even though the liberals are far from flawless), I think it won't change anywhere near as much as it ought to in order for each side to preserve the integrity of their "narrative" role (as opposed to their actual integrity).

Alas, the narrative in the conservative echo chamber seems to be that it was a failure of those evil "moderates" that kept the silly scheme from working, and they need to behave more crazy.

From Buzzfeed:
"Montana Lt. Gov. "Accidentally" Liked Picture Of Breasts On F___book — Then Quickly Scrubbed His Account"
"Breasts.Proof men can multitask2" reads the image’s caption that was liked by a top-tier Democratic recruit for U.S. Senate. "This was spam," a Montana Democrat says.
The Democratic party’s top recruit for the U.S. Senate race in Montana has a F___book problem. Either he’s dangerously clumsy with the site’s iPhone app — or he recently let the world know how much he appreciates breasts.
A screengrab captured by a Republican operative with interest in the 2014 Senate race shows Democratic Lt. Gov. John Walsh — whom national Democrats are hoping will jump into the Senate race soon — “liked” a F___book profile featuring pictures of women’s breasts on F___book around 9:45 p.m. on Aug. 19. The name of the account is “Breasts.Proof men can multitask2.”
Walsh’s F___book profile disappeared sometime later before reappearing later with the “like” deleted. Walsh’s likes now include the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the National Guard, various Montana Democrats, and “The 2nd Amendment Keeps Us Free.” There’s no mention of “Breasts.Proof men can multitask2.”
Walsh has access to the page, and engages with F___book through his iPhone. A senior Montana Democrat close to Walsh said the “like” was a mistake on Walsh’s part.
“This was spam and an unintentional accident. Once the Lt. Gov. knew that it had happened it was immediately removed from the page,” said the Democrat. “It looks like D.C. Republicans are so fearful of John Walsh running for Senate that they’re attacking a war hero with spam. That’s the best they got?”
Walsh has not announced his plans on the Senate race, but he’s a top recruit for the DSCC after former Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who Democrats hoped would run, decided against a bid. The DSCC hopes to hold onto to the seat in what’s expected to be a tough race for Democrats.

President Barack Obama has a very hard job. Not only as president, but as the face of illegal Viagra in Pakistan.
Because some people think sex is all about power, and nothing says power like the face of the President of the most powerful country in the world dressed like James Bond.
Obama’s face is plastered on packets of “little blue pills,” a drug that is technically outlawed in Pakistan.
The pills are being smuggled into Peshawar, the hardline capital of Pakistan’s Pashtun region, from neighboring Afghanistan.
Sales are reportedly exploding (there’s a pun in here somewhere) as desperate men are willing to break the law to improve their sexual prowess.

Thanks For Being So Cool About Everything
By Vladimir Putin
As you know, the last few weeks have been kind of crazy around here. Last month, protests in Ukraine ousted the country's Kremlin-allied president and ignited a wave of Ukrainian nationalism that threatened to destabilize Russia's economic and military interests in the region. Of course, I couldn't simply stand by and let that happen, so I intervened and ordered a **76** takeover of the strategically important peninsula of Crimea-a territory with historical ties to Russia that our nation had long desired. It's certainly no easy task to forcefully annex an entire province against another country's will, so I just wanted to thank you-the government of the United States, the nations of western Europe, and really the entire world population as a whole-for being super cool about all of this.
Seriously, you guys have been amazing. All of you. I really appreciate it.

Why not Transdniestra, Pooty? They've even asked, and I'm sure Moldova won't mind.
-
Probably because Transnistria is one of the most lawless places on Earth (a center of drug, arms, and human trafficking), has an economy (such as it is) tied too much to the west, has a population that (although Russians are the largest ethnic group) is primarily non-Russian, and has no border at all with Russia.
Annexing them would be more trouble than it's worth.

The Daily Beast: "Boehner Challenger Makes 'Electile Dysfunction' Video"
A longshot challenger to Speaker of the House John Boehner is trying to use penis jokes to win election.
Does Speaker of the House John Boehner suffer from “electile dysfunction”? One of his primary challengers thinks so in a slightly racy Internet video that he has posted on his website.
J.D. Winteregg, an adjunct French teacher at Cedarville University running against Boehner, who has created a spoof Cialis commercial which aims squarely at 12-term incumbent.
“If you have a Boehner lasting longer than 23 years, seek immediate medical attention,” the ad’s narrator advises.
Winteregg’s campaign website advertises the fact that he has no political experience, which could explain why he thought the You Tube video titled “When The Moment Is Right” was a good idea.
Other gems from the 1-minute video include:
“Your electile dysfunction? It could be a question of blood flow. Sometimes when a politician has been in DC too long, it goes to his head.”
“Used on a daily basis, Winteregg in Congress will help you every time the moment is right.”
And “Other signs of electile dysfunction may include extreme skin discoloration.”
According to his website, Winteregg, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Daily Beast, is “100% opposed to amnesty” and “pro-life, no exceptions.” Winteregg also criticizes Boehner for “working to provide amnesty” and because he “purchased an $830,000 condo in Florida and spends little time in the district.”
Winteregg, who is one of three Republicans challenging against Boehner, is the longest of longshots in Ohio’s May 6th Republican primary and has only $25,000 on hand according to his most recent FEC report.
The only Speaker of the House to lose a bid for re-election in the past 150 years was Democrat Tom Foley, who lost his marginal district in eastern Washington in the GOP landslide of 1994.
But, if Winteregg doesn’t make it to Capitol Hill, it seems he’ll always have a future making penis jokes on the Internet.

Yeah, everyone loves pandas, but:
A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes eating the sandwich, the panda pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter, and then stands up to go. "Hey!" shouts the manager. "Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!"
The panda yells back at the manager, "Hey man, I am a PANDA! Look it up!"
The manager opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for panda: "A tree-dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."
And speaking of shooting:

"Pressure on Obama to Quickly Resolve Centuries-Old Sunni-Shiite Conflict" (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2014/06/pressure-on-obama-to-quickly-resolve-centuries-old-sunni-shiite-conflict.html)
"All we ask of this President is that he do one thing: settle a religious conflict that has been going on for a millennium and a half," McConnell said. "What did he offer today? Nothing."
Speaker of the House John Boehner acknowledged that there was a possibility that Obama might find a way to resolve the centuries-old Sunni-Shiite conflict, but the Ohio Republican was not optimistic.
"This struggle between Sunnis and Shiites has been going on for almost fifteen hundred years," he said. "That means President Obama has had ample time to fix it."

Meanwhile, what is in the water in Florida? Beyond them screwing us all in 2000, their Republican House of Representatives member who was forced out of office for being a cocaine-sniffing philanderer was replaced by this chap:
NBC News: "'Your Country': Freshman Rep Mangles Quizzing of U.S. Officials"
Next time, maybe reading the witness list beforehand might be a wise idea.
A new member of Congress is the butt of Twitter jokes galore today after he appeared to repeatedly treat two senior State and Commerce Department officials with Indian surnames as members of the Indian government.
“I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," Florida Republican Curt Clawson told Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar, witnesses at a hearing at a subcommittee hearing of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The cringe-worthy moment(s) were flagged by The Cable (http://vimeo.com/101737613).
Clawson continued to refer to “your country” and “your government” in his statements to both U.S. officials, at one point asking for “ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government” in investment rules.
"I think your question is to the Indian government," replied Biswal, who serves as the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs in the United States Department of State. "We certainly share your sentiment, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S."
Here’s some more, from The Cable: “During the hearing, [Clawson] repeatedly touted his deep knowledge of the Indian subcontinent and his favorite Bollywood movies. None of his fellow colleagues publicly called him out on the oversight -- perhaps going easy on him because he's the new guy.”
Clawson is brand new to Congress; he won a special election in June to replace Rep. Trey Radel, who resigned after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.

Russell Brand was back Tuesday with another installment of his media-crushing YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/v/V_m98GAdqKM&rel=0). His latest target: Sean Hannity.
Brand tore into Hannity's recent segment, which was called "Sympathy For The Terrorists," during which Hannity shouted down guest Yousef Munayyer -- a Palestinian-American and executive director of the Jerusalem Fund. The discussion was more of a yelling fit than an interview, as Hannity repeatedly shouted, "IS HAMAS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION?!"
Brand called Hannity's aggressive attack on his guest "chi1dish," "rude" and "unreasonable."
"He's not interested in truth," he said. "Sean Hannity is only interested in pushing a perspective."
Brand also gave some advice to Hannity's guest, who struggled to get a word in over Hannity's shouting.
"Good luck with that mate," Brand advised. "Sean doesn't want an answer to his question. Sean wants to say more stuff while jabbing his finger aggressively."
But perhaps Brand's most valuable observation is that Hannity looks alarmingly like the Ken doll from Toy Story 3.
He has a point...

San Francisco Chronicle: "House panel: No administration wrongdoing in Benghazi attack" (http://m.sfgate.com/politics/article/House-panel-No-administration-wrongdoing-in-5663509.php)
The House Intelligence Committee, led by Republicans, has concluded that there was no deliberate wrongdoing by the Obama administration in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, said Rep. Mike Thompson of St. Helena, the second-ranking Democrat on the committee.
The panel voted Thursday to declassify the report, the result of two years of investigation by the committee. U.S. intelligence agencies will have to approve making the report public.
Thompson said the report "confirms that no one was deliberately misled, no military assets were withheld and no stand-down order (to U.S. forces) was given."
That conflicts with accusations of administration wrongdoing voiced by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista (San Diego County), whose House Government Oversight and Reform Committee has held hearings on the Benghazi attack.
Stevens, who grew up in Piedmont, and the other Americans died when Libyans attacked the consulate on Sept. 11, 2012. Among the Intelligence Committee's findings, according to Thompson:
-- Intelligence agencies were "warned about an increased threat environment, but did not have specific tactical warning of an attack before it happened."
-- "A mixed group of individuals, including those associated with al Qaeda, (Moammar) Khadafy loyalists and other Libyan militias, participated in the attack."
-- "There was no 'stand-down order' given to American personnel attempting to offer assistance that evening, no illegal activity or illegal arms transfers occurring by U.S. personnel in Benghazi, and no American was left behind."
-- The administration's process for developing "talking points" was "flawed, but the talking points reflected the conflicting intelligence assessments in the days immediately following the crisis."
Those talking points included assertions that those who attacked the compound were angered by an obscure anti-Muhammad video posted to YouTube in the U.S. There is disagreement to this day about whether that was the case.
How come this isn't being covered with blaring headlines on Faux News? Hmmmmm.

Channel surfing last night/this morning and saw a clip of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on Faux Nooz Hannity, where the gist of Robertson's schtick was that ISIS militants should either be forcibly converted (to Christianity) or killed if they won't convert. You can watch the clip anywhere online, but below is a cut-and-paste from the New Yorker article by Margaret Hartmann (I won't link to it because there are advertisements on the page that feature kidz). The moment I heard Robertson say 'convert or kill (them)' I was instantly struck by the overwhelming irony (completely lost on him apparently) that that's exactly what ISIS promotes: convert (to their radical interpretation of Islam) or be killed.
Though he hasn't beheaded anyone (that I know of) Robertson is, IMO, only marginally less evil than those he condemns and would have murdered if they don't adopt his personal (and to some, also radically interpreted) faith. I guess he's bored with painting his revisionist history of slavery in America, marrying underag3 girls and insulting gay people, so he's branching out into geopolitical punditry. ::)
We learned on Tuesday that ISIS has beheaded a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, so naturally Sean Hannity went straight to Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson for analysis. (Hannity says he sees Robertson mainly as a "minister," though you probably know Robertson as that guy who made offensive comments about gays, African-Americans, marrying 15-year-old girls, etc.) "In this case, you either have to convert them, which I think would be next to impossible — I'm not giving up on them — but I'm just saying either convert them or kill them," said Robertson. "One or the other."
Hannity predicted that overly sensitive media types would try to twist those remarks into something controversial. "I know there are going to be people that are always looking to jump on you ... and they're going to say, 'there goes Phil Robertson again,'" the host said.
Robertson explained that he doesn't want to kill ISIS members, but if they won't embrace Christianity, the U.S. has little choice. "I'd much rather have a Bible study with them and show them the error of their ways and point them to Jesus Christ," he said. "However, if it's a gunfight and a gunfight alone, if that's what they're looking for, me personally, I'm prepared for either one."
Interestingly, "convert or die" is ISIS's policy, too, but we're sure noted foreign-policy expert Phil Robertson already knows that.

Well, there's also the third option which I saw today on the side of the road outside a post office...a couple of guys had set up a booth and there were a bunch of posters (at least a dozen different ones, a couple of which had Obama with a Hitler-stache), all calling for impeachment. Instead of moving on, it seems far more preferable to such people to cling fervently to their hatred even to the bitter end, because to do otherwise would be to admit that their judgment was wrong (and for such people it NEVER is). About the only encouraging thing I found was that these guys were all on their own, they weren't meeting or talking with anyone so it was apparent that they were the ones who set up the display, so they hadn't attracted a single person even on this busy strip of road, and in the blistering heat/humidity and blazing sun of midmorning. I don't generally relish other people's misery, but I have to admit a small feeling of satisfaction in their circumstances even as I bristled against the outlandish vitriol in the posters I glimpsed.

Yeah, those are the LaRouchies. It's really a cult, though they keeping pretending to be political. Lyndon LaRouche was a crazy conspiracy zealot back in the 1960s. He used left-wing language, calling his group the Caucus of Labor Committees, until the mid-1970s when he jumped to right-wing language. After Reagan's election he switched to plain craziness, spinning an elaborate theory in which the Queen of England controlled all the drug dealers in the world.
It's strangely reassuring that they've switched back to right-wing pretense.
This weekend they had some kind of national push.
LaRouche had a stroke 10 or 15 years ago, but the cult survives, like the Moonies.

Perhaps the documentation was lost over the years, or they were born at home and not in a hospital. Or what about all the fees you have to pay to get copies of the documentation? Back when poll taxes were declared unconstitutional, the fee that was said to be an unfair burden was the equivalent of $12 today.....

The Borowitz Report, Oct. 6, 2014: "Man Infected with Ebola Misinformation Through Casual Contact With Cable News"
CANTON, OH — An Ohio man has become infected with misinformation about the Ebola virus through casual contact with cable news, the Centers for Disease Control has confirmed.
Tracy Klugian, thirty-one, briefly came into contact with alarmist Ebola hearsay during a visit to the Akron-Canton airport, where a CNN report about Ebola was showing on one of the televisions in the airport bar. “Mr. Klugian is believed to have been exposed to cable news for no more than ten minutes, but long enough to become infected,” a spokesman for the C.D.C. said. “Within an hour, he was showing signs of believing that an Ebola outbreak in the United States was inevitable and unstoppable.”
Once Klugian’s condition was apparent, the Ohio man was rushed to a public library and given a seventh-grade biology textbook, at which point he “started to stabilize,” the spokesman said.
But others exposed to the widening epidemic of Ebola misinformation may not be so lucky. “A man in Oklahoma was exposed to Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Fox for over three minutes,” the C.D.C. spokesman said gravely. “We hope we’re not too late.”

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been deposed in a violent overthrow led by Dennis Rodman, the former NBA basketball star who had been serving as Mayor of Pyongyang since earlier this year.
According to two high-level sources, Rodman jailed Jong-un and his top lieutenants before naming himself Supreme Worm of the Democratic People’s Republic Of Korea, Duffel Blog has learned. The sources said that Rodman seized power after he won a game of H-O-R-S-E against the former leader he once called his “best friend.”
“Entire glorious revolution unite behind great and dear leader Dennis Rodman,” read a news release from state-run Korean Central News Agency, which did not have any mention of Kim Jong-un. A search of the archives on KCNA’s website showed his name was removed from previous news stories.
In addition to seizing power in the country, Rodman was spotted **94** absinthe at his new mansion, and he had ordered all men in the country to wear wedding gowns. In a rare mea culpa, intelligence officials admitted they were completely blindsided by the new developments, since CIA was unable to tell Kim Jong-un apart from other Koreans.
The U.S. State Department released a statement saying it was “cautiously optimistic” about the reign of Rodman, a man even weirder than current and former North Korean leaders. Since he once declared himself a bisexual and married himself, foreign policy experts believe Rodman may renew bilateral talks between North Korea and the United States, and join NATO.

Columbus Day 2014: "Seattle Lawmakers Vote to Replace Holiday with Indigenous Peoples' Day"
On Monday, the Seattle City Council unanimously voted to redesignate the federal Columbus Day holiday as Indigenous Peoples' Day in order to pay tribute to the millions of Native Americans who were living on the continent before Columbus "discovered" it in 1492.
Aides say that Mayor Ed Murray is expected to sign the legislation into law, which would make Seattle the second major city in the US to mark Indigenous Peoples' Day on the same day as Columbus Day. Minneapolis became the first major city to replace the holiday in April.
Supporters of the resolution say that the new holiday celebrates the contributions and culture of Native Americans and indigenous people in Seattle.
"Nobody discovered Seattle, Washington," Quinault Nation President Fawn Sharp told the council, according to Reuters. "This action will allow us to bring into future and present a day honoring our rich history."...

And speaking of trading:
"As has been documented, the Washington Redskins and their fans don’t want the team’s name changed. So comedian Hari Kondabolu has an idea: Why not change their logo to a severely sunburned white person?
He’s collecting submissions on a new Tumblr with the hashtag #newredskinslogo, and encouraging people to tweet their ideas at the Redskins.
Kondabolu told BuzzFeed News that while talking about the absurdity of the Redskins name is 'well-trodden comedic territory,' the jokes 'always involved explaining oppression by comparing it to another oppression.'
'I thought it would be interesting to put the joke on white people,' he said in an email. 'How absurd would it be if the racial group being caricatured this time was a white person? Since logic and human decency have not led to a much-needed name change, I wanted to contribute to the destruction of the Redskins brand through public mockery,' Kondabolu said.
The New York-based comic made a video explaining his rationale (https://www.youtube.com/v/Dwe6gwcT8Iw&rel=0), in which he asks: 'When is pointing out the color of someone's skin a way to honor them? Especially when it's not the color of their actual skin?'
In the video, Kondabolu explains, 'You see, it doesn't matter how old your tradition is. If enough people tell you that it's hurting them, maybe you should reevaluate your choices.'

From 2013:
"Congressman who used to be a high school English teacher irks GOP by marking their memos with a red pen."
Hoping that members of the House of Representatives will start using facts and coherent logic to advance the nation's interest is still a fool's errand, but there's one member of Congress, Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA), who's willing to at least pretend it's possible. Breaking out the teacher's most potent weapon, a red pen, he marked up Republican House members' letter to John Boehner **77** asking him to resist the immigration reform bill that has already passed America's slightly-less-insane upper chamber. Included in his comments are some words we haven't seen on a Congressional document in years, like "evidence," as well as an awesome invitation to "come by my office" if "you don't understand the bill."
Frankly, my favorite part is pointing out that given a proper word count, the bill is only 286 pages long. Why do I like this? Because "it's too long to read" is one of the GOP's new favorite reasons not to support things, which really does not help their anti-intellectual image. Obamacare, hate it or tolerate it, had about as many words as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, not that Congresspeople read at that grade level. Can we at least agree that Congress shouldn't sound so afraid of reading?
Congress is pretty much the least-popular thing in America, which is impressive in the land of Honey Boo-Boo and Chris Brown. If there's one kind of person who isn't afraid to do their job in the face of massive unpopularity, though, it's a high-school teacher.

In case anyone thought Fox News had any integrity, here is a screen cap from last September when the enrollment results for PP-ACA, which had exceeded expectations, were reported. Fox had a problem: It's empty talking heads had to report something that was contrary to its ideology. Inspect this carefully:

Intentional disinformation like that has always been standard operating procedure at Faux Nooz. If called on it, they'd surely chalk it up to "an innocent mistake by a junior staffer" or some such nonsense. Frankly, every person there above the rank of janitor, up to and including Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, ought to finally have the human decency to simply admit that what they've been doing all these years does far more harm than good to America and the World and retire by noon today.

"Oh my Lord, shut it down, here is the greatest moment in the history of C-SPAN: A (very Southern) mama called into one of their shows to yell at the guests. Not because she disagrees, but because the guests are brothers and both her sons and she is sick and tired of their shit.
This perfect moment comes via the eagle-eyes at the Washington Post. You see, brothers Brad and Dallas Woodhouse sit on opposite sides of the the aisle, politically, and so they make joint appearances to argue bitterly about things like Obamacare. And their mother has had enough, by God, and so she called into their latest C-SPAN appearance from Raleigh, North Carolina to say that she is glad they both went to their in-laws' this year for Thanksgiving and she wants this nonsense out of their system BEFORE they come home for Christmas, goddammit. She loves them both, but she wants a peaceful Noel.
Watch and cringe as one of the brothers drops his head into his hands and bemoans, "Oh God, it's mom." At least they've got something to bond over before the trip home for the holidays."

A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN
To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
-----------------------
1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').
------------------------
2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'
-------------------
3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
-----------------
4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.
----------------------
5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
----------------------
6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
--------------------
7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.
-------------------
8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
-------------------
9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
---------------------
10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
---------------------
11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
---------------------
12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
--------------------
13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
-----------------
14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
---------------
15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
God Save the Queen!

Well that may be because those who use the word "sheeple" also believe the US is run by a one-party monopoly. The majority of the state officials are bought and paid for as well.
Those who use the word "sheeple" may have been behind congressman Ron Paul during his campaigns, but not to my surprise, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and all of those mainstream media outlets demonized him and didn't give him equal air time, even though he led the polls early on.
Those who use the word "sheeple" maybe think that the only way they can help or change policy in their favor, since they may believe all major politicians are pro Zionists, is to protest, rally and spread truth.
They succeeded in exposing the Truth in the 2013 chemical weapons attack in Syria when US political figures like McCain and John Kerry went on a media rampage blaming Assad and wanted to strike Syria. Unfortunately, those same US officials got their scapegoat in the form of ISIS to attack Syria.

On both accounts, you are incorrect. (I won't go so far as to call you a liar, because that would mean that you are willfully spreading untruths on a continuous basis.)

On both accounts, you are incorrect. (I won't go so far as to call you a liar, because that would mean that you are willfully spreading untruths on a continuous basis.)
Hmm, let's see. He signed 23 executive orders relating gun control. He was the president during the Sandy Hook incident, which if you research that event for 30min you will realize things don't add up the way mainstream media portrayed it as. Fear mongering? Constantly talking about gun control. States along the east coast following his lead, gun confiscating.
The people weren't convinced. He tried.
Ebola. Well he let planes fly in from infected countries when it was a hot "crisis." He also sent military troops to fight the disease who had no training for that kind of thing prior.
Again, he tried.
-
Again, you are incorrect, on both counts. For instance, Pres. Obama isn't directing air traffic for a living so he didn't "let planes fly in from infected countries when it was a hot 'crisis.'" And that's not how ebola works, in any event.
Look, there's enough legitimate beef to have with our current president (the TPP, as just one example) without having to make stuff up and then keep on repeating that made-up stuff as if it will make it any truer. Because it won't. If you want to bring up such genuine beef, and not stuff derived from a paranoiac Tea Partier's fevered imagination, you can do so in the appropriate thread (http://forum.bearchive.com/index.php/topic,659652.0.html), lest we get derailed.

So, to continue, on topic:
-
Again, you are incorrect, on both counts. For instance, Pres. Obama isn't directing air traffic for a living so he didn't "let planes fly in from infected countries when it was a hot 'crisis.'" And that's not how ebola works, in any event.
Why would you imply that im suggesting that the president directs air traffic FOR A LIVING? Thats pretty extreme. He did and does, however, have the authority to STOP airliners coming into the US from infected countries.
We can agree to disagree, but dont put words in my mouth. And heres my contribution for the thread, as per your request.

It's an interesting question, sol, especially in light of the vote last year to remain in the UK. The economics is complicated, given the North Sea resources. Last year neither side wanted to take the resource question to the mat, though the UK stands to lose a lot more by disunion than the Scots. As far as I could tell, the policy differences between Labour and SNP were miniscule; the replacement of Labour by SNP seems to be entirely about independence.
And the election offers an interesting example for folks who whine about having a two-party system. So far UKIP, which has an ideological base, is totaling about the same number of votes as SNP and has 1 seat, while SNP, with a regional base, has 56 seats.
Of course the whole show again demonstrates how far to the right the U.S. has slipped. Here I'm something of a leftist; in the UK I'd have voted Tory.

I wish I could say this wasn't true....
For the last few months, the military has been planning a massive joint exercise for this summer called "Jade Helm 15". Since Texas has a lot of open space for the military to play in, plus a lot of bases to use as staging areas, a significant part of the exercise will take place in the Lone Star state.
As it happens, a map showing the extent of the exercise had Texas labeled as "Hostile Territory".
Needless to say, more than a few Texans panicked, thinking this meant that Obama was sending in the military to impose martial law and take over the state.
Representative Louis Gohmert got things started:
"When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even ‘cling to guns or religion,’ patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned," Gohmert wrote. "We have seen people working in this administration use their government positions to persecute people with conservative beliefs in God, country, and notions such as honor and self-reliance. Because of the contempt and antipathy for the true patriots or even Christian saints persecuted for their Christian beliefs, it is no surprise that those who have experienced or noticed such persecution are legitimately suspicious.
"Once I observed the map depicting ‘hostile,’ ‘permissive,’ and ‘uncertain’ states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,’ and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution. When the federal government begins, even in practice, games or exercises, to consider any U.S. city or state in 'hostile' control and trying to retake it, the message becomes extremely calloused and suspicious."
Senator Ted Cruz weighed in:
"My office has reached out to the Pentagon to inquire about this exercise," Cruz, a Texas senator, told Bloomberg at the South Carolina Republican Party's annual convention. "We are assured it is a military training exercise. I have no reason to doubt those assurances, but I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty, because when the federal government has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy in this administration, the natural consequence is that many citizens don't trust what it is saying."
Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Guard to keep an eye on things:
"During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Abbott wrote in the letter. "By monitoring the Operation on a continual basis, the State Guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the Operation to ensure that adequate measures are in place to protect Texans."
Thankfully, there are still a few people with sense in Texas. Former Republican state legislator Todd Smith wrote to Governor Abbott:
"I am horrified that I have to choose between the possibility that my Governor actually believes this stuff and the possibility that my Governor doesn't have the backbone to stand up to those who do," the letter said. "I'm not sure which is worse."

He jumps out. The Bilderberg guy grabs a sack, "I have a meeting to dominate the world next week!!" He jumps. The Freemason, "I matter! You don't!" Grabs chutte and jumps. Barack Obama, "I might be un-popular nowadays but I'm still president! !!" The Zionist, "Banks can't function without me!!!" Gone. So there's George W and an Occupy student protester left. Bush says, "Between me and you, I did 9/11 and I wasn't much of a leader... but I was still PRESIDENT!!! Let me have the last parachutte!!" The Occupy guy takes off his mask, "Don't worry!!! The Bilderberg dude jumped out with my BACK PACK!! We still have two chuttes left!!!!!"

Americans took to the streets in large numbers on Thursday to show their support for a fifteen-dollar-an-hour wage for members of Congress.
In major cities across the nation, fast-food workers and other service employees held signs, shouted chants, and gave impassioned speeches to demonstrate their conviction that Congress deserves a maximum hourly wage of fifteen dollars.
“Members of Congress are people, just like you and me,” Tracy Klugian, a McDonald’s employee who took part in the Washington protest, said. “They should be paid what they deserve.”
Assuming that they continue to take off approximately two hundred and forty days a year, members of Congress earning the proposed maximum would see their average annual income adjusted from a hundred and seventy-four thousand dollars to thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, a salary that many marchers called “fair and equitable.”
“I know what members of Congress will say: ‘I can’t live on that,’” Harland Dorrinson, a protester in Chicago, said. “Well, if they want to earn more, they should go out and acquire some skills.”
While organizers of the marches proclaimed today’s protests a success, in some cities the demonstrations met some opposition from counter-protesters, who argued that fifteen dollars was too much.

2013: Superstorm Sandy hits. Texas Senator Ted Cruz (along with many other Republicans (http://gawker.com/5973255/here-are-the-republicans-who-voted-no-on-hurricane-sandy-relief-funds)) votes against emergency federal relief going towards its victims, saying in part "Hurricane Sandy inflicted devastating damage on the East Coast, and Congress appropriately responded with hurricane relief. Unfortunately, cynical politicians in Washington could not resist loading up this relief bill with billions in new spending utterly unrelated to Sandy...This bill is symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington — an addiction to spending money we do not have.

Then he used "Rockin' In The Free World" for his announcement music. Don't people read the lyrics of songs before they use them? This is similar to Reagan's use of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA"...

For real though! But hasn't Canada allowed same-sex marriage for a while now? ;)
Here's a good one:
"Paraphrasing Janis Joplin, freedom's just another word... that Justice Antonin Scalia doesn't seem to understand.
In his convoluted, nine-page dissent against the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling -- which officially makes gay marriage legal in every state -- Scalia went off the cultural-literacy rails, questioning the idea that intimacy and spirituality were freedoms and further suggesting that "Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie."
As luck would have it in The Huffington Post's New York headquarters, the nearest hippie happened to be the world's most famous hippie, David Crosby, who, like Joplin, performed at Woodstock. So ask him we did: what did he think of Justice Scalia's line of thinking?
"I think he's slagging gays and hippies," said Crosby, who had earlier appeared on Huff Post Live. "I don't think he understands either one. I think he's an old reactionary guy and I think he's failing to understand the basic thing: hippies and gay people are people. And we are citizens. And we live here. And we are his neighbors. He may not know that, but we are. And that's how he should see us. As citizens of the United States. Voters. People who should be equal. That was the idea of the country. Not 'maybe.' There's no 'if' about that, no gray area there. The idea was that people would be equal here -- all of us. Hippies and gay people included. Black people, white people, yellow people -- all people. People."
Crosby, who once recorded "Find the Cost of Freedom" with bandmates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young -- as well as other classic-rock songs laced with political commentary, including "Ohio" and "Almost Cut My Hair" -- lambasted Scalia as willfully looking past freedoms for all citizens.
"That's the basic thing that I think [Scalia] fails to see, and that I think the more reactionary elements in the court -- and in politics and in government -- fail to see," Crosby said. "That they avoid looking at -- consciously avoid it. I think they don't want to see us that way. And the truth is, the idea of the country was that that would be the way it was: we would be equal citizens."
He holds out little hope that things are headed in the right direction, either. "That's why the country was such a hopeful thing. But I don't think it's in good shape now. I think our government is bought and paid for, and not responsive to the citizens. At all. But I know what was started out with. I know what was intended, and I have not forgotten and I'm not going to roll over and put my paws up in the air and give up fighting for it. I think that's what we should be doing."
The Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song most relevant to -- and perhaps supportive of -- Scalia's argument, "Love The One You're With," was written by Stephen Stills, not Crosby. Here it is (https://www.youtube.com/v/qLTdRqYwzXQ&rel=0) anyway."
-
'Tis an idea that has been around even since before hippies...
www.youtube.com/v/1xfaaLzgRQI (http://www.youtube.com/v/1xfaaLzgRQI)
And yes, Canada has had marriage equality for about ten years.
--------
P.s.--So has Mexico.
-
Further WTFs from Justice Scalia:
"But what really astounds is the hubris reflected in today’s judicial Putsch. The five Justices who compose today’s majority are entirely comfortable concluding that every State violated the Constitution for all of the 135 years between the Fourteenth Amendment’s ratification and Massachusetts’ permitting of same-sex marriages in 2003."
"Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court."
Given that the SCOTUS also just gave its Stamp of Approval on "Obamacare", all those popping sounds you hear in the background are undoubtedly the heads of rightwingers exploding in frustration.

Jade Helm is just about to get underway in Texas. For those of you who have forgotten, it's
an attempt by the Obama Administration to covertly invade Texas and institute martial law, thereby doing no one knows what a large-scale joint military exercise taking place in the Southwest.
In order to make sure everything is on the up-and-up, diligent loyal Texans are in position to monitor all the activities in the Lone Star State.
One of the things they've spotted is a convoy of Blue Bell Ice Cream refrigerated trucks going alongside a convoy of Humvees and other military vehicles....
Clearly, these trucks are going to be repurposed to serve as covert transportation for any corpses that have to be quickly moved out of view!
http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/Top-8-Jade-Helm-conspiracy-theories-6362719.php
(see Image 2 in the slide show)
Never mind that a Blue Bell spokesman said that the trucks were simply being relocated from a recently closed plant to one that was open and that it was pure coincidence that the two convoys were on the same highway at the same time....
Oh, and that heavy rain that hit Texas earlier this year? The Feds had weaponized the weather and were softening up the state (http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Jade-Helm-HAARP-weather-manipulation-Texas-storms-6333316.php)...

So during his "presidential" announcement Donald Trump said:
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
So Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a maximum-security prison and a few days later a tweet from an account that's purportedly being run by him says:
"Sigue chingando y voy hacer que te tragues todas tus putas palabras pinche guero cagaleche, @realDonaldTrump" ("Keep fucking around and I'm going to make you eat your fucking words...")

Nation Worried That Rest of World Might See Debate
CLEVELAND (The Borowitz Report)—As preparations get under way for the first Republican Presidential debate, on Thursday night, a new poll shows that Americans are deeply concerned that the rest of the world might see it.
According to the poll, there is widespread fear that, if the debate were to be viewed in foreign countries, the cost to the United States’ prestige around the world would be incalculable....

The Borowitz Report: "Psychologists Urge People With Low Self-Esteem to Watch G.O.P. Debate"
MINNESOTA (The Borowitz Report)—Psychologists at the University of Minnesota have issued a research study recommending that people suffering from low self-esteem watch Thursday night’s nationally televised Republican debate.
The recommendation came after the psychologists spent weeks showing research subjects video clips of the debate’s potential participants and observed striking improvements in the subjects’ overall morale and sense of worth.
“We interviewed the volunteers before we exposed them to the Republican candidates and afterward,” said psychologist Davis Logsdon. “The spike in their self-esteem was off the charts.”
Of the candidates who most improved the research subjects’ sense of self, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush were found to be consistently helpful, but the most marked increase in self-esteem levels came after the subjects were exposed to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
According to the data, people who viewed Walker for approximately three minutes reported feeling better “right away” about their intelligence, knowledge, and prospects for obtaining high-status employment that they had previously considered well beyond their reach.
“After watching Governor Walker, a substantial number of the subjects literally could not remember why they had ever felt bad about themselves,” Logsdon said.
In addition to recommending that low self-esteem-sufferers watch the debate, Logsdon is advising them to D.V.R. the entire two hours. “You never know when you might need it again,” he said.

The Borowitz Report: "Walker Emerges as Leading Candidate to Run Enterprise Rent-a-Car Branch"
CLEVELAND (The Borowitz Report)—Based on his performance in Thursday night's debate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has emerged as a leading candidate to manage an Enterprise Rent-a-Car branch, Enterprise has confirmed.
Tracy Klugian, a human-resources director for the rental-car giant, said that he did not know what to expect before the debate, but after watching Walker in action he felt confident that the Wisconsinite "had what it takes to succeed at Enterprise."
"He didn't get too many moments in the spotlight, but, just from what I saw, I would feel comfortable putting him behind one of our rental counters," he said.
He indicated that the company would be contacting Walker in the days ahead to discuss a possible future with Enterprise.
"Just to be clear, no promises will be made," he said. "Best-case scenario, Scott works hard and becomes the manager of one of our branches. For starters, we'd like to train him to be an assistant manager and see how he does with that."
Enterprise's faith in Walker appears to be echoed by a new poll, which shows that thirty-one per cent of voters believe he is qualified to assistant-manage a rental-car branch.

The Republicans from Ohio are practically begging to be made fun of. After years of pressure by their colleagues from Alaska, President Obama has instructed the Dept. of the Interior to change the official name of Mt. McKinley to its original name of "Denali".
"There is a reason President McKinley’s name has served atop the highest peak in North America for more than 100 years, and that is because it is a testament to his great legacy. McKinley served our country with distinction during the Civil War as a member of the Army.… And he led this nation to prosperity and victory in the Spanish-American War as the 25th president of the United States. I’m deeply disappointed in this decision." - House Speaker and Ohio Republican John Boehner
The reason the name was there was because some guy from Ohio was prospecting in the area when McKinley was *nominated* for President by the Republican Party. After McKinley's assassination, the name was rushed through into officialdom.
Ohio Congressman Bob Gibbs went off the deep end:
-
Yes, President McKinley: the most respected Republican president since...yesterday?

I'll briefly chime in that my mother is a registered Republican, but to the best of my knowledge has always voted Democrat and has frequently expressed opinions aligned with Democratic candidates.
The reason: when she was in secretarial school (decades ago) and would get out for lunch, it would also be around the same time as the county lawyers (I think, it's been a while since I heard this story), who would be nearby in/around the...courthouse? Government offices? At any rate, they would have or host lunches, and were predominantly Republican...thus she registered as a Republican for some free(ish) food. Possibly also for prospective dates, but thankfully that didn't work out. :)
Point being, party membership doesn't mean anything as far as political sensibilities, especially since personal circumstances change.

Reagan started to leave the Democratic party in the 1950's when he was disappointed the Democrats put Adlai Stevenson as their candidate for president against Eisenhower , well before the " southern strategy " of 1968. He made it official when he supported Goldwater in 1964. He became governor of California in 1966 when he defeated Edmund " Pat " Brown, the father of the present governor " Moonbean " Brown. The biggest reason Nixon won in 1968 was because George Wallace ran as a third candidate which syphoned off a lot of Democratic voters from Hubert Humphrey. It was in 1972 that many southern states ditched the party of their ancestors when that party became hostile to their very existence. So there is plenty of blame to go around if you will.
-
that party became hostile to their very existence.
I am intrigued by your conclusion that excluding racists from political functions is tantamount to genocide.
-
I am intrigued by your conclusion that excluding racists from political functions is tantamount to genocide.
Genocide is the killing of a group of people. Nobody got killed. And while I disapprove of idiotic racism, last I heard even racists have the right to vote. Whether you like it or not, history can be inconvenient at many times and the Democratic party was for generations a very racist party. Truman was in the KKK for example because in Missouri at that time, if you were a Democrat and wanted to be in office, you had to belong. In the South, the solid South, the Democrats were the party of Jim Crow, forced segregation and men like George Wallace who after losing a election in 1954 vowed never to be " outniggered " again. Truman when he decided to desegregate the Army, he did it when the Republicans were in power in the House and Senate because he knew it would never be allowed by the Democrat house leaders. In 1958 a bipartisan group of Democrats and Republicans passed a civil rights act which laid the foundation for the bipartisan 1964 act which thank God finally broke the back of Jim Crow and other stupid racist laws enforced by southern Democrats. If you bother to see how the vote went on both pieces of legislation, if it hadn't been for the Republicans voting for them, they would have not passed since the majority of Democrats voted against them. The Democrats are still the party which obsess over race except this time it is couched under different name such as " affirmative action " ( Orwellian bullshit ) i.e. quotas whose purpose is to use skin color, something none of us had a choice about, and use it to discriminate against one group against another with the target being the evil white man. Funny though, quite often, like college admissions, it is Asians who suffer more since they do better in school than either whites, hispanics or blacks. Talk about unintended consequences. Call me old fashioned, as a registered Democrat in 1976 and voting for Jimmy Carter ( so sorry I did that ) , I really believe that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Guess Martin Luther King Jr was a charlatan if he said it but didn't really believe it.
-
No one denies the racist history of the Democratic Party in the 19th Century. No honest person can deny the outcome: The Democratic Party did what it could to expel the racists. What shocked every person with integrity, including Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley, was that starting with Strom Thurmond the Republican Party was more than happy to scoop them up and embrace them and their "ideology". The sole exception was George H.W. Bush who in 1990 campaigned against his party's candidate for governor of Louisiana. The silence from the remainder of the Republican Party was both telling and predictive.
I remain intrigued by your comparison of rejecting racists as members and genocide.

No one denies the racist history of the Democratic Party in the 19th Century. No honest person can deny the outcome: The Democratic Party did what it could to expel the racists. What shocked every person with integrity, including Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley, was that starting with Strom Thurmond the Republican Party was more than happy to scoop them up and embrace them and their "ideology". The sole exception was George H.W. Bush who in 1990 campaigned against his party's candidate for governor of Louisiana. The silence from the remainder of the Republican Party was both telling and predictive.

Yes, those Republicans are such racists. That is why the only black senator in the Senate is a black Republican from that super racist state of North Carolina. The governors of Louisiana ( Bobby Jindal ) and South Carolina ( Nikky Haley ) are of Indian ( Country of India ) descent. Yup, all these states of the old Confederacy are just dominated by racists. In my state of Nevada Republican Brian Sandoval ( Mexico ) is governor. Yup, the state in the West which would not allow Sammy Davies Jr stay at the hotel he was performing when it was a one party state ( Democrat ) because he was black sure is a racist state now.

Both Namrata "Nikki" Haley and Piyush Jindal are pretty much the definition of "tokens", so that's not really saying much. The current incarnation of the Republican Party is indeed driven by racist ideologies.

He was famous among all the officers of World War I on both sides in that he considered Africans to be equal to Europeans as soldiers.

RawStory: "Texas is so crazy Norwegians are literally using ‘Texas’ as slang for ‘crazy’"
The reputation of Texas extends so far beyond U.S. borders that it has become slang for “crazy” in Norway.
Texas Monthly noted this week that the word “helt Texas” was being routinely used by Norwegians instead of “completely crazy” or “chaotic.”
And it’s not just on social media, Norway’s media has been including the phrase to describe everything from sporting events to a biologist finding a tropical swordfish in Norwegian waters.
“In Norwegian, ‘texas’ means mayhem and chaos, as in cowboys punching each other and breaking chairs over each other’s heads,” according to a Tumblr page cited by Texas Monthly. Some say the tradition dates back as far as the 1970s.
The Austin American-Statesman dug up a Reddit discussion from earlier this year where one Norwegian explained what Texas meant to him.
“It’s basically an idiom at this point,” the Redditor wrote. “When I think of the word I picture a cowboy crashing a party and shooting two revolvers into the air. ‘It’s completely texas!!'”

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what may be the most serious allegation ever made against the former Secretary of State, Fox News Channel reported today that Hillary Clinton was involved in the conspiracy to murder President Abraham Lincoln.
The latest charge against Mrs. Clinton was reported by Fox host Sean Hannity, who said that the evidence of her role in the Lincoln assassination came mainly in the form of e-mails.
According to Mr. Hannity, “If it’s true that Hillary Clinton killed Lincoln, this could have a major impact on her chances in 2016.”
The accusation against Mrs. Clinton drew a strong response from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.—S. Carolina): “There’s been a concerted effort by Hillary Clinton to cover up her role in President Lincoln’s murder. She has said nothing about it. This is bigger than Watergate, the Cuban missile crisis, and the Second World War put together.”
Responding to the allegation, Mrs. Clinton issued a terse statement indicating that she could not have participated in Lincoln’s assassination because she was born in 1947.
“That’s what she wants us to believe,” Sen. Graham said.

I don't think I've ever seen the word "Christmas" on *any* Starbucks cup...

I don't think I've ever seen the word "Christmas" on *any* Starbucks cup...
Yeah, you pretty much haven't. As Christine Clements said earlier:
"It seems the real meaning of Christianity has gotten lost over time. So many posts over the new holiday cup at Starbucks who are angry and have decided to boycott the chain. So I decided to look back at the past years to see if I'm missing something from past designs that were 'Christian' like; no baby Jesus, no star of Bethlehem, no wise men and so forth. So unless I'm missing how ornaments, snowmen, and ribbons became the real meaning of Christmas for Christians their arguments are completely invalid.
The word Christ is in Christmas because Jesus Christ was born in a manger beneath the star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men. Christmas is about celebrating Christ's birthday; not about snowmen, gifts, ornaments, or trees. So while people are up in arms over the Holiday cup not being Christian like (which none of the past designs were either), I think more people need to understand the true meaning of Christmas and being a Christian. So much more is wrong in our world and people are upset over a cup design. Makes you wonder what Christ would think of that. #starbucks #starbucksholidaycup #priorities #merrychristmasstarbucks #itsjustacup"

When a journalist implied that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn’t explain quantum computing, the P.M. smiled and called his bluff.
At the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, a reporter asked Trudeau about Canada’s mission against ISIL, saying, “I wasn’t asking you to explain quantum computing.”
“Very simply, normal computers work by…” Trudeau began to respond, to laughter and applause from the audience. “No, no, no,” he said, “Don’t interrupt me. When you walk out of here you will know more, well, no, some of you will know far less about quantum computing.”
Then he launched into an actual explanation. (https://www.youtube.com/v/Eak_ogYMprk&rel=0)

The headline is funny, in the typical Enquirer way, but Drumpf's response should be scary:
"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. "What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it."
"I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?" Trump continued. "It’s horrible."

Well, it seems that Trump's campaign "war chest" has far less money in it than anyone thought. He's fallen way behind on the fundraising (not that he's likely to get much from the big GOP donors).
Let's put it this way:
The Trump campaign has less cash on hand than that of Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, or Ben Carson - three people no longer in the race.
For the month of May, Trump raised $3.1 million. Clinton raised more than that on June 20 alone.....
The Clinton campaign took the opportunity to pen this zinger in a speech she gave in Ohio:
"He's written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11..."

The Borowitz Report, 6/25/16: "British Lose Right to Claim That Americans are Dumber"
Across the United Kingdom on Friday, Britons mourned their long-cherished right to claim that Americans were significantly dumber than they are.
Luxuriating in the superiority of their intellect over Americans’ has long been a favorite pastime in Britain, surpassing in popularity such games as cricket, darts, and snooker.
But, according to Alistair Dorrinson, a pub owner in North London, British voters have done irreparable damage to the “most enjoyable sport this nation has ever known: namely, treating Americans like idiots.”
“When our countrymen cast their votes yesterday, they didn’t realize they were destroying the most precious leisure activity this nation has ever known,” he said. “Wankers.”
In the face of this startling display of national idiocy, Dorrinson still mustered some of the resilience for which the British people are known. “This is a dark day,” he said. “But I hold out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”

The Borowitz Report: "Trump Says He Heroically Avoided Capture in Vietnam By Staying in U.S."
Presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed a little-known episode of personal heroism from his youth on Saturday, telling an Iowa audience that he narrowly avoided capture in Vietnam by remaining in the United States for the duration of the war.
“The Cong were after me,” Trump said, visibly stirred by the memory. “And then, just in the nick of time, I got my deferment.”
The former reality-show star said he had never shared his record as a war hero before because “I don’t like to boast.”
He said that he only disclosed the episode now because “the way this nation treats our deferment veterans is a disgrace.”
Trump complained that he received no official commendation or medal for his heroism, calling the lack of recognition “shameful.”
“Those brave Americans who, like me, avoided being captured by not serving at all—we are the true heroes,” he said.
Trump’s tale of valor appeared to move many members of his audience, some of whom waited in line after his speech to thank him for his lack of service.

The Onion: Election 2016: "What’s Inside Trump’s Tax Returns"
Donald Trump’s aides have confirmed that the Republican presidential nominee will not release his tax returns despite numerous public calls for him to honor the expectation of transparency for presidential hopefuls. Here are some of the potentially damning contents that Trump prefers not to release to the public:
- Biggest source of income is a successful Dave & Buster’s franchise in Paramus, NJ
- Tried to write off Eric Trump as a business expense
- Has a true calligrapher’s hand
- Funnels all his money through a shady shell corporation called Trump Organization
- Could actually be getting bit more money back by just taking standard deduction
- Was granted a two-year exemption from 2011-2013 when he served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi
- Failed to report $3.23 interest earned on Chase savings account
- Uses exact same tax havens as establishment politicians
- Is 39 years old
- $600 monthly reported income from Virginia Beach duplex rental
- Wrote off $350 million in apartment construction costs as charitable donation given the unimaginable luxury he was providing to tenants
- Miss Missouri valued at only $30,000
- Still paying off top few floors of Trump Tower
- Used a number of underhanded tax maneuvers you have no chance of understanding

Anyone who thinks that that's what it's all about is simply a short/narrow minded moron, who cannot grasp the idea of something bigger and is also quick to judge and put words into people's mouths and assume what their thoughts are which is beyond pitiful.
The reason behind being "anti PC" is more so about this notion and movement that PC is bringing, which is borderline censorship. I would argue that PC is cousins with censorship. So people suppress truth because it stings too much or it does not fit the narrative they want to drive.
For example, Americas history. Revisionist history?
To paraphrase something I read....
Almost everything that is reported or talked about in alternative media is based on publicly available information and most historians know all about it. And yet they remain strangely silent, allowing the fantasyland, propagandized version of American history and the fatuous pseudo-patriotic nonsense spewed by politicians and the mass media to stand unchallenged.
Political agenda instead of facts.
That being said, let's stick true to the thread and get a laugh out of it!

TOPPLE TRUMP!

Fill-in-the-blank in Trump quotes. Get it right, you score electoral votes for the Democrats. Get it wrong, and the Republicans get votes.
Can you keep Trump out of the White House?

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost several mobile telephones carrying e-mails from her private server during her time in office, according to newly-released FBI documents (https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton/) on the investigation into her mishandling of classified information
At least she still has the one she uses to take selfies!!

The parliament of New South Wales, Australia has passed a motion calling US presidential candidate Donald Trump a "revolting slug" unfit for office.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-37640336
The motion was filed by Greens party MP Jeremy Buckingham to the Upper House of the NSW parliament.
It said: "This house... agrees with those who have described Mr Trump as a 'revolting slug'."
"It's clear that all reasonable and decent people find Donald Trump's behaviour obnoxious and that the world is hoping American voters reject his politics of hate," Mr Buckingham said in a statement.
Because there was no objection, the motion was recorded as having been agreed to by all of the lawmakers.
It was allowed only after the president of the legislative council determined that "revolting slug" did not amount to unparliamentary language. Parliamentary procedure prevents MPs from using "extremely distasteful" words.

Oh, and remember in the second debate how Trump kept looming over Clinton?
Danny Elfman has set it to music, just in time for Halloween:

Ahh.. I was wondering why she kept looking down. ;)

She was glancing at notes she took while he was talking. At other points in the debate, you could see him taking notes too. They had pens and notepads in the recessed areas on the tops of their podiums (where his water glass is in the photo).
Here is video (https://twitter.com/TheFix/status/789090575249125376) of Trump "triumphantly" tearing his notes off the notepad after "winning" last night's debate.
Oh, and while I'm here, this bears repeating occasionally...

So the anti-Hillary comments made you think to bring this up? None of the dozens of anti-Trump comments crossed the line? Thats interesting.
Well anyway, Hillary in a shocking point during the debate, told the whole world US military classified information about how long it takes for the US to get its nukes up and running.

Don't take the policy I quoted personally; it was written a long time ago in response to completely different people and things, and was not directed entirely at you. However, the politics threads have become harsher recently, and this point in this thread —when the accusations are turning reckless— seemed like the appropriate place to remind everyone that there are limits. My job is to reassert those limits when they're being strained.
Here's an interesting question the moderators have to consider, though: in what way is a presidential campaign that embraces —and is embraced by— various hate groups not itself a hate group? I'm not a debate moderator, so I can be biased: I don't like racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and narcissism. Unfortunately, you're backing the overgrown orange poster-ch¡ld of those inclinations.
I'll try to refrain from moderating the thread, but that ultimately depends on how you and the other posters express yourselves.

Taking what you just said into account, and reading rtopes latest comment, I would say he/she owes me an apology.

Look, it's a gloriously dumb conspiracy theory that fails to account for stage lighting, visible notepads, and oversight by a nonpartisan commission whose representatives and technicians were all over the stage before and after each debate. rtpoe didn't condemn you personally; he condemned anyone who believes that theory. He was painting with a broad brush, as you have done more than a few times in these threads. If he feels he owes you an apology, I'm sure he'll let you know.

First, Weird Al is on the case!

And the New Yorker's Benjamin Schwartz with a pair of Before and After cartoons:

The very first post on this thread was a joke prediction by pedonbio. I wonder what he thinks about his joke now. I'm still flabbergasted. In Nevada you can vote for none of the above and the thought of voting for either one was stomach turning. I believe the Chinese curse that we will live in interesting times may pass. Unless the Donald is assassinated. I could live with Pence quite easily though. The Senate and House remained Republican. The " experts " were predicting seven net gains by the Democrats but that didn't happen. I'm still trying to look for the humor on this. ???

is it true that that guy which is president elected has had over 4000 court cases the last 30 years? Wow, if only a middle class citizen could do the same ...
Is this funny enough? Or will it become funny on the first impeachment attempt?
-
Well, it'll be funniER as of the first impeachment attempt.
-
Well, if he doesn't manage to settle that fraud & racketeering case involving his "university", and is found guilty in any way, that counts as a High Crime and Misdemeanor that is grounds for impeachment proceedings.....
Meanwhile, there's a good chance that Obama will give Hillary a pardon for her mistake with the e-mail server, and any conceivable "conflict of interest" problems with the Clinton Foundation. He can do that, you know. And it will probably be best for the country if we never had to hear about those things ever again.
So it might turn out that Trump is the one being punished for his crimes instead of Hillary.......
That WOULD be funny!

So Obama showed Trump around the White House....
I'm thinking it went something like this:
"This is the Truman Balcony, named for him because (gags) he had it added. It has a great view of the South Lawn and the Washington (gag) Monument...."
"Here's the Oval Office. The desk is called the "Resolute Desk", because it was made from wood salvaged from the H.M.S. Resolute. It was a gift from Queen Victoria to the president and people of the United States. It's been used by pretty much every president since then (chokes down v0m1t)."
"This is the Lincoln Bedroom. He used it as an office, and over here is the only copy of the Gettysburg Address that is actually signed by him (throws up on floor)...."
Or maybe he told him....
"You do get some say in how the place is decorated and how offices are assigned. You should know that the Oval Office needs a complete renovation to bring it up to the latest security requirements. I would have done it, but knowing I was moving out soon, I figured I'd leave it for my successor so they could redecorate it at the same time. They tell me it will take about a year to do everything, so you might want to think about setting up shop in another part of the White House or even a nearby building. I understand that there's a hotel nearby that just opened last September and has a lot of empty rooms.........

Looking for that one perfect ornament to complete your Christmas tree?
If you've got $157.91, you can get a "Make America Great Again" cap ornament on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Trump-America-Great-Collectible-Ornament/dp/B01N67D8HO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8)! Crafted from solid brass and finished in 14K gold, it's sure to make any tree stand out.
Better hurry, there aren't many left!
The reviews are in:
"Despite ordering a more reasonable ornament, this one arrived. It. Is. Yuge. It's absolutely yuge. It's the biggest ornament. Yuge. I hung it on my tree, but it is so yuge that it has totally unbalanced my whole tree. No matter where I hang it, the tree leans waaaaaay over to the far right." - Simon Webb
"It keeps trying to deport my nativity scene!" - whitequeen
"My office puts up a tree every year and we pool resources to get a really nice ornament, usually on the pricey side. For example, 8 years ago we got a really nice, hand crafted ornament from Hawaii. We liked it so much, we decided to get another one just like it 4 years later. Well, this year we all got together and chose a sedate, classy ornament from a shop in New York. My New York friends swore by their work and so we voted and chose it. But then this red and gold POS showed up in the mail and we can't figure out why! We went through the vote hat again and we definitely voted for the New York piece with overwhelming numbers. I'm a bit worried that our manager, who thinks he's special and soooo sELECTIVE, might have gone over our heads and ordered this one instead. It turns out we can't get a refund and now we're stuck with the ugly thing. We put it on the side of the tree facing the wall, but it must be bewitched or something because it keeps reappearing at the top of the tree every morning! We found our angel topper in the corner crying. We don't know what happened and she says she's afraid to tell us =/ " - Tacitus Lector
"...As he sits there perched at the top (though he can't decide whether it's staying there or going to live on one of the larger inner branches where he has more space he controls completely), he's bringing to power in our tree nation all these hideous white hood, swastika, and confederate flag ornaments that are attacking and bullying ornaments of color, the ornaments representing different religions, pearlescent white ally ornaments, the rainbow ornaments and any other ornaments that don't look like these haters of diversity. They're lighting cross ornaments on fire and the orange leader and his chief ornament hate the baby Jesus and Mary ornaments!" - Dhana Chandler

Allegedly, this was done to anger citizens and make them vote for Trump.

Dave Barry’s Year in Review: 2016 — What the ... ? (http://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article123321019.html)
-
Welcome to 2017
-
The death spiral of the Mainstream Media continues:
First, Washington Post retracts story (http://nypost.com/2017/01/01/washington-post-retracts-story-about-russian-hack-at-vermont-utility/) where they essentially blamed Russia for a hack at an electrical grid. Facts forced the compost to backtrack and add their little "editors note."
The same Washington Post that claimed Russian propaganda effort helped spread "fake news" during the election. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/russian-propaganda-effort-helped-spread-fake-news-during-election-experts-say/2016/11/24/793903b6-8a40-4ca9-b712-716af66098fe_story.html?utm_term=.8a5a33cad104)
Gallup poll shows America's trust in mass media at a new low. (http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx)
The biggest loser in 2016? The mainstream media and journalism. (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/media/305919-the-biggest-loser-in-2016-the-mainstream-media-and-journalism)
And then there was this:
-
Your evidence that media is going to die that was important enough to attach an image is the source of the image used for two seconds of the story, used as screen filler?
-
OK, so the Washington Post admitted an error. That's fine. That's owning up to your mistakes and taking responsibility like an adult.
When was the last time Breitbart (or any similar site) published a retraction?
Has Donald Trump ever admitted he was wrong when caught in a lie?
-

Over at The Agony Booth, (agonybooth.com), they've been doing a series on "Movies that Predicted Trump".
While it is pretty well known that Biff Tannen in "Back to the Future" was based on him, the series looks at The Dead Zone, Idiocracy, Bulworth, Bob Roberts, A Face in the Crowd, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
Cracked has also noted that Marvel's 2008 story line "Dark Reign", where Norman "Green Goblin" Osgood pretty much takes over the US, is eerily similar to Trump's rise.
So anyway, what the American player here is forgetting is that the game really is worth the prize:
-
Instead of "Being John Malkovitch" we can call it "Being Donald Trump":

You can thank my former Senator Harry Reid when he and the Democrats essentially emasculated the Filibuster in order to get three radical left judges into to the DC appeals court because they wanted to ram them through the Senate confirmations over the Republican objections. Well, the rules are now different in 2017 than in 2009 and now it is going to bite the Democrats very, very badly. The filibuster was placed / evolved as a rule by the Senate during the Progressive era and before in order to stop a simple majority from doing whatever it wanted but the Democrats under that idiot Harry Reid blew it up because they believed they would be a permanent majority. That is what happens when Liberals who live in a bubble in single party states like California drive the agenda and think they can impose whatever they want on the people of " Fly over country ". Enjoy the next few years. You Liberals/Democrats made your bed, now lay on it.

A couple of (hopefully) humorous notes as we go through our national shift change on the Ship of State (I'm sure Solvegas will correct my terminology):
1. You may have seen that photo Donnie Boy tweeted of him supposedly working on his inaugural address. He's sitting at a concierge's desk in his Mar-A-Lago resort, or, as he calls it, the "Winter Palace White House". He's got a Sharpie and a pad of paper, and is gazing intently forward.
To me, it looks exactly like he's watching and transcribing a video, because that's the exact same pose I use in the same situation.
He just keeps posting great meme material, doesn't he? (http://www.avclub.com/article/world-unites-laughter-staged-photo-trump-writing-h-248647)
So, What's Donald Writing?
I figure it's:
All work and no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Donald a Dull boy.
all work and no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All Work an no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no Play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Donald a dull boy.
All work and no play makes donald a dull boy.........
2. It's a tradition that the outgoing president leave a letter in the Oval Office for the incoming president. I'm wondering if Obama left something like this:
Donald - I took the liberty of typing up the attached for you. All you need to do is sign and date it. - Barack
"My Fellow Americans, I hereby resign the office of President, effective noon tomorrow. Donald J. Trump"
(I note that a UK oddsmaking house is giving even odds (https://www.inverse.com/article/26292-donald-trump-impeachment-odds) that Trump will not complete his term, either by impeachment or resignation.)
3. Somewhere in Texas, George W. Bush is breathing a sigh of relief that he will no longer go down as the Worst President Ever.....

Given how low the turnout was for his Inauguration:
(http://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9982211.0;attach=666977)
Trump's staff had to really work hard to find a good photo to use as a banner background for the new President's Twitter page.
They wound up using (apparently stolen from Getty Images) a photo from Obama's inauguration

I have a question as to what time the pic for Trumps side was taken?
Although checking through the DC Metro twitter feed there are a few pics taken from a news video feed (MSNBC?) time stamped at 11:10 AM.
However if you want to see a crowd on the DC Mall check this one from an imaging satellite that passed over during the Comedy Central rally to Restore Sanity and or Fear.
Now THAT's a crowd.

After Liberals blocked venues, caused riots and showed great disregard for the constitutional outcome of the election, is it any wonder that the turnout was so low ? Did Conservatives go on riots and threatened lives when Obama was elected ? No, they accepted their loss and worked hard to recover the prize. Since Obama was elected in 2008, the Democrat high point, the Democrats have lost over 1,000 elected positions in Federal, State and Local venues. Obama not only doubled the national debt, but devastated the Democratic party. It is time many of you Liberals get out of your echo chamber and explore the huge, vast America that you have contempt for which defeated you in this last three biennial elections and learn. Trump was never my first choice but he did defeat the Bush and Clinton dynasties which is good in the long run. This " Deplorable " one is happy for the result.

Some Twitter comments on the entertainment at the Inauguration:
"Somewhere in the Caribbean a cruise ship sails without any entertainment. thanks a lot" - Diomi Cordero
"This Inaugural Ball is a veritable Who's Who of performers. As in, who are any of them?" - John Dastoli
Speaking of making fun of Trump on Twitter, voice actor Billy West has been reading passages from Trump's speeches in the voice of Zapp Brannigan:

I think I've seen one Trumpel inauguration picture in German media with about 20% more people than the one above. Maybe this are the alternative facts (the now political correct new altright speak for lies?) that were mentioned.

With regards to the timing of that Trump Inauguration photo:
"This photo by Reuters News Pictures staff photographer Lucas Jackson was taken at 12:01:18 p.m. on Friday and not much earlier as many people are trying to claim." - Jim Bourg, Reuters (Source (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/reuters-editor-defends-photo-president-trump-inauguration-article-1.2953125?cid=bitly))
That would make it at pretty much the exact minute that The Donald was being sworn in.
Anyway, is it too soon for Downfall memes?

I'm pretty sure it was all a media campaign against him and the media were lying all the time about what he said ... That's why he had a close eye on the media, too and taking them into responsibility about what they say and report.

Hillary was a flawed candidate, maybe, maybe not, but if she had won, we would not be seeing the insanity that is going on right now. It's been only a week and already he's brought us ever closer to the brink of war with China ("the US will not tolerate China’s expansion onto islands in the South China Sea"); the USDA has been ordered to stop communicating with the public through social media or the press and to stop publishing any papers or research; he's ordered the resumption of construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline, while the North Dakota state congress considers a bill that would legalize hitting and killing protestors with cars if they are on roadways; and he brought a group of 40 cheerleaders to a meeting with the CIA to cheer for him during a speech that consisted almost entirely of framing himself as the victim of dishonest press.
This is not normal. This is worse than "not normal". This is clear insanity.
A president who cares more about TV ratings than about making decisions based upon scientific fact, or verifiable facts, is a loss for all of us, whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party, whatever. To all these people saying "we won, you lost, suck it up, buttercup": if you are not a rich, old, straight, white (or white supremacist) man, You. Won. Nothing. We all lost. All of us.
It will take a lot to get us back to normal, if indeed we can ever get back to normal.

You probably meant to put this over in the regular Politics thread - because there's nothing funny about the President's irrational, dangerous behavior.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled humor:

rename it.
Since Trump wants to allow torture again like in the dark middle age we should now name it "torture politics". This is future-proof. And for civilized persons this Trumpel guy is really a torture.

It is impossible to leave the union. That was decided in 1865. Not only was slavery violently ended by the Civil War, it also ended with the decision that no state has the right to vote to secede. The precedent set by Lincoln still stands.

BACK FROM HELL!
Hillary is back folks!
"Hillary Clinton is considering another run for president – and is mulling the idea of launching a television talk show to soften the ground for 2020."
Launching a TV program now would make her America's second-oldest female news or talk show host on the small screen, after only Joy Behar of 'The View.'
Imitation is the highest form of flattery indeed. ::)

There's another thread for the serious stuff.... Though these days, it's hard to tell what's serious and what's fantasy.... maybe we'll wake up and this will all turn out to have been a long national nightmare....
Anyway, back to the satire.
Some recent pieces from Andy Borowitz:
Scientists Baffled by McConnell and Ryan’s Ability to Stand Upright Without Spines
Doctors believe that both men’s ability to stand, walk, and even break into a brisk trot when confronted by reporters’ questions is "virtually inexplicable."
Disturbed Man Gets Past White House Security, Gives Press Conference
The man unloaded a delusional and paranoid rant that left a room full of experienced reporters shaken.
And Tom Toles:

That's not too difficult.

People have been sneaking edits into Wikipedia. Replacing the basic photo of Sean Spicer with one of Muhammad Saeed "Baghdad Bob" al-Sahhaf..... Referring to Sally Yates as a "goddam American Hero", and her replacement as "another sock puppet".
Of course, these edits are deleted almost as fast as they are put up. So you have to move fast if you want to see something like this amended list of the types of invertebrates:

Point is that a widely known and accepted nick name "Baghdad Bob" is part of Sean Spicers biography now and therefore should not be deleted.

I think its important to be able to laugh at yourself or laugh at "your side" and show you can actually put yourself in the other sides shoes. Instead of just being a straight jackass all the time and calling anyone who disagrees with you: "racist, sexist, hate speech!" People shouldnt hold signs that say "love trumps hate" and then spew hate towards the opposite party while NEVER acknowledging their own parties faults. ;)

So a TV comic in the Netherlands decided to respond to Trump's "America First" bit by putting together a little video - in a style mocking Trump's manner of speaking - asking if the Netherlands could be second.
The idea took off, and comics from all over Europe have been putting together their own videos highlighting the aspects of their own countries (women, big buildings, walls, no taxes, no Mexicans...) that should appeal to El Presidente.
I can't link to them directly, since so far all the ones I've seen have occasional shots of people a little too young to appear here.
But I can give you a web page that's "collecting" all of them. Who Wants to be Second (http://everysecondcounts.eu/): "Come to EU. It's huge. It's the greatest EU in the world!"
Lithuania's modest, they will settle for third....
I note that YouTube has a number of videos that aren't yet linked to this main site. Australia and Kazakhstan, for example. They are probably appearing faster than the site can keep up.

Trump's long lost twin brother @notloserDonaldTrump on Twitter about his brother the president:
"POTUS kills children. DISGRACEFUL!"
"POTUS signed exec order he didn't know. Can this man even read? SO SAD!!!"
POTUS unable to produce legally sound travel ban, then whines about losing in court. SUCH A CRY-BABY!"
"Now it takes THREE YEARS to build the wall? POTUS should hire immigrants to get it done fastly!"
"POTUS bows to China. BIG LOSER! PEKING DUCK!"
It will be interesting what this twin brother will think and say about his president brother if he continues to greatly fail like the last 3 weeks.

And starting next Monday Trumpel get to see educational commercials with true facts during his preferred TV andnews shows, rather the alternative facts he get presented by his own conspirational US admin staff.
Unbelievable that such things are necessary in a western democracy, because the president has a learning curve as steep as the Great Plains, some people might say it is a learning resistency.

:P
-
It's always good for the classic media companies when Trump tries to beat the shit out of them. They are gaining new reach, new consumers because of his free commercials. They will earn more money because of him.
That's good. It also means they can invest more money in expensive investigative journalism.

I think this YouTube comment covers it fairly well.
"It's sobering and frightening, in a way, when you realize for the first time that the chief executive doesn't care about the nation he has sworn to serve. That every president you've lived under, whether you voted for them or not, shouldered the burden of their office. They may have made decisions with which we fervently disagreed, but there was never any doubt that the decisions presidents made were made with the best interests of the nation at heart. Not so, this man. He does not care about you. He doesn't care about America. He cares only about adulation and money. He is, by every measure available, a bad human being."
The main point is this. It doesn't matter what political party he heads up and/or represents. Any occupant of the Oval Office behaving this way is bad news for the country as a whole. The problem is that for most conservative Republicans, as long as a bad policy doesn't affect them personally, they don't give a damn about the consequences. If you're a Congressperson, you have great healthcare, you're getting paid a good salary, not to talk of all the other perks of the office besides. So as far as they're concerned, devil take the hindmost.
That's not how it's supposed to work. There's a reason why we call people elected to office "public servants."
-
^^ You know, I could be a douchebag and say something like "oh a YouTube comment? That's your source? Why should I even listen to some no name blogger wannabe" or something like that. But I won't. If people truly feel Trump does not have the best interest of the American people, I can have a dialogue telling why that could possibly be wrong.
I think you put that comment in the wrong thread though.
-
So the Media caught Trump going over his speech on the way from the White House to the Capitol the other day. I noted that, given the gloomy weather, Trump's expression, and the main caption, it almost looked like he was leaving the White House for a completely different reason.
So I made a tiny edit to a screen image..... Can you tell what it is?

At this stage, that would be an upgrade ;)

The latest thing on Twitter?
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, use pictures to compare the Affordable Care Act with the GOP's proposed replacement (Obamacare on the left, the GOP thing on the right).

One almost hopes that they don't take away Trump's Twitter account, since he just keeps giving us so many comedic openings.
Earlier, he talked up the GOP health care proposal, tweeting "Despite what you hear in the press, healthcare is coming along great. We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful picture!"
Well, so far, seemingly the only people who like the plan are Congressional Republicans, who are under pressure to come up with an Obamacare replacement ASAP. No wonder they're trying to ram it through as fast as they can.
But back to Trump. What "beautiful picture" will it most closely resemble?

Finally parts of Trumpels Tax papers of 2005 being published:
http://www.msnbc.com/sites/msnbc/files/trump2005tax.pdf
Nothing spectacular. Something positive these days.
Journalists say it even might be possible that Trump himself authorized the leak of these documents to get the focus off his bad junta administration works.
-
The leak (the front and back of his 1040 tax return for fiscal year 2005) shows nothing unusual or illegal for somebody who does hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of business in a year. None of the supporting documentation was included, though, which is where anything questionable would be hiding. It looks as if this particular tax return was chosen because of its complete lack of controversy.
There is nothing newsworthy in the document, and nobody benefits from the leak except Trump himself (who is made to look like an honest, responsible taxpayer), so the American media is fairly convinced that the Trump administration leaked it to dispel some of the suspicion about him.
-
Another failed attempt yet again to attack the Trump. When will they learn? This was such an epic fail that even the biggest liberal newspaper, washington post, called this a "total nothingburger."
The only thing this revealed was that Trump paid 25% tax rate while someone like the socialist Bernie Sanders paid only 13%!
.....but, but, I thought he didnt pay taxes for almost 20 years!... and, and, and the Russians!
Whoops!!! :D

What is interesting also right wing commenters on German newspaper first comparison was Bernie Sanders. Like they use a common source of misinformation. Let me ask one thing. Does Bernie Sanders have several billion dollars? Did he earn 150 million dollars? Not even the year of this tax rate comparison is the same. Who only wants to spread hate.... Epic fail!
Thus are alternative facts spread.

Trump paid a 25% tax.. Bernie the socialist paid only 13%.. Yes, that was said in many news outlets... And it is true. But lets examine what happenend here in this thread....
HERES THE STORY of the Trump tax return (he paid his shit and paid A LOT OF TAXES) the media failed yet again trying to smear him
here is some tidbit news about bernie

Wow. ::)

You can stop shouting at us. That would be a much better behaviour. If you can't stand the heat don't post epic comparison fails. And your last picture isn't funny at all and against the rules of this board. What comes next? Hungry African littles only skin and bone? Your anger carried you away.
I know for extremely right wings that tax mechanic and mathematics are a problem. Mathematics are based on facts rather than alternative information. But there is something like a progressive development in tax rate. The more you earn the more is your tax rate (best case - in worst case you make bad business decisions and you get for many years reduced rates). That's why you can't compare apples with peaches. But those extremists that made up the comparison does.

The reason why Americans continue to clamor for the release of his tax returns for multiple consecutive years (not cherry-picked-for-one-specific-year tax returns, not selectively and suspiciously "leaked" tax returns), besides that being what all legitimate Presidential candidates have done since the Nixon administration (http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.nsf/web/presidentialtaxreturns), is to make sure that his business interests do not act as a motivation greater than the interests of his presidential oath of office: "that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." If he owns a hotel in a country where he is threatening war, and that country suddenly decides to (say) buy out all the rooms in that hotel for two months straight, he is materially benefiting from his foreign policy. Much as how the current Secretary of State, the former CEO of ExxonMobil who still owns US$218 million in company stock, would materially benefit from a foreign policy initiative such as removing sanctions against Russia and therefore freeing the company up to sign a US$500 billion contract there (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/12/world/europe/rex-tillersons-company-exxon-has-billions-at-stake-over-russia-sanctions.html?_r=0).
He didn't put his businesses into a blind trust (which the verifiable billionaire Michael Bloomberg also failed to do when he was mayor of New York City (http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/01/opinions/nyc-billionaire-politician-louis/), and which he should have done). He hasn't released his tax returns so that we can be sure of the full extent of his debts, partnerships and ownership interests, and be sure that (say) Russian oligarchs in the pocket of Vladimir Putin have no leverage over him by (say) investing in his Manhattan real estate holdings (http://www.businessinsider.com/wealthy-russians-invested-nearly-100-million-in-trump-buildings-2017-3).
This is wrong but more than just being "wrong", it would make him in violation of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution (aka "the Foreign Emoluments Clause" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Emoluments_Clause)) and/or in violation of Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 of the US Constitution (aka "the Domestic Emoluments Clause" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Emoluments_Clause)). Such violations of the US Constitution (which as president he had sworn an oath to) are impeachable offenses.
Unfortunately at this time, there's little likelihood of him being impeached (https://qz.com/904331/impeaching-donald-trump-would-take-two-things-and-right-now-his-critics-have-neither/)...unless and until right-wingers in Congress, who seem to have decided to put party ("we won! get over it!") above country ("he's our man, but this is beyond the pale...better boot him out before the entire country goes down"), change tack.
People who like authoritarians in power also tend to be very non-self-reflective. If they were even a little bit self-reflective, they would ask themselves this question: if President Barack Obama had done the same things that his successor is currently doing, would I be seeking to impeach him? And I answered that question with "yes", then how come I'm not seeking to impeach his successor?
TL;DR: I'm as sick of hearing "Russia Russia Russia" (http://youtu.be/OU9ePhMxUq4&rel=0) as anyone else is -- but that would have been stopped dead in its tracks if he had released his authentic tax returns months and months and months ago. As any student of Republican presidential history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_President%27s_Men_(film)) should have learned by now: "follow the money" (https://www.followthemoney.org/about-us/mission-and-history/).

Back to the main topic of this thread.

The White House is putting out a newsletter, "Your 1600 Daily," which is sort of a cheerleading thing for the Trump administration. Video clips, press releases, etc.
A recent issue linked to an article in the Washington Post: "Trump’s budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why." What they forgot to do is read it. The article, by Alexandra Petri, was written for WaPo's satirical "ComPost" blog....
It wasn't hard to miss the satire. The VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH:
"Some people are complaining that the budget proffered by the Trump administration, despite its wonderful macho-sounding name, is too vague and makes all sorts of cuts to needed programs in favor of increasing military spending by leaps and bounds. These people are wimps. Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has called it a "hard power budget" which is, I think, the name of an exercise program where you eat only what you can catch, pump up your guns and then punch the impoverished in the face. This, conveniently, is also what the budget does."
Other items from ComPost:
Wayne Tracker: Legends of the Caped Crusader [subtitle: He is the hero we deserve, I guess.]
All your health-care questions answered [subtitle: I knew I should not have replaced both kidneys with iPhones! In retrospect, that choice was terrible!]
If you thought Trump’s speech was ‘Presidential,’ you probably loved Scar the Lion’s [subtitle: This was Teleprompter Saruman, not Twitter Saruman.]
Great news: President Trump did not bite any bats in half during his address to Congress! [subtitle: Exactly how low is the bar, America?]

Seems Steppenwolf nearly 50 years ago dedicated this song to Trumpel: https://youtu.be/v/7Q6sUP4NHVs
Lyrics - especially I love the last sentence:
"Don't Step On The Grass, Sam"
Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hate land
Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far out
While pushin' back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually
"I was elected by the masses"
And with that in mind he starts to unwind
A vicious attack on the finest of grasses
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)
Misinformation Sam and Joe
Are feeding to the nation
But the one who didn't count counted them out
By exposing all their false quotations
Faced by a very awkward situation
This is all he'd say to save the day
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty
(Don't step on the grass, Sam)
And it will ruin our fair country
(Don't be such an ass, Sam)
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up you already lost the fight alright)
You waste my coin Sam, all you can
To jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed
You need much more than him
You've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
You have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious time
Repeat Chorus

2. A giant xylophone! Use tuned metal slats in the wall, so people can play music on it.
3. A library! The Haskell Free Library and Opera House was deliberately built right on the border between Vermont and Quebec. Make a section of the US-Mexico wall into bookshelves!

Maybe. But as the Bard of Avon wrote, the evil that men do lives after them. They voted in a man who appointed people vastly-underqualified to tackle their roles and/or people who are out to totally destroy their departments. Unfortunately, those departments include those that keep everyone's air and water and food safe. Everyone's. Not just rich old white Republican men's air and water and food, but the air, food and water of their children, their wives, and their neighbors.
So they may all die out, sure -- but their singular action in the polling booth has condemned many of us to a far-earlier death as well. That's quite sad, to say the least.

The Onion, Jan. 20, 2017: "Departing Obama Tearfully Shoos Away Loyal Drone Following Him Out Of White House"
‘Go On Now, Git,’ Says Former President
WASHINGTON—Stopping and turning around as he made his way across the South Lawn after hearing the unmanned aerial vehicle hovering just feet behind him, outgoing President Barack Obama tearfully shooed away a loyal MQ-9 Reaper drone attempting to follow him out of the White House, sources confirmed Friday. “Go on now—get out of here!” said the former commander-in-chief, his lower lip trembling and his eyes welling with tears as he affected a stern tone of voice in an attempt to scare off the faithful hunter-killer drone that had spent the past eight years obediently at his side. “You can’t come with me anymore, you got that? Can’t you see this is for your own good? Now scram. What are you waiting for? Go!” At press time, a heartbroken Obama had thrown a rock in the drone’s direction, causing the unmanned aerial vehicle to flee into the sky, where it paused to look back one last time at its old master before flying off toward a Yemeni tribal wedding.

He's causing problems with security by demanding that he get to ride in Her Majesty's Royal Carriage (officially, the "Diamond Jubilee State Coach" - which is covered in gold leaf and has jewel-encrusted door handles, but has no security features other than bullet-proof glass).
"UK security sources have warned that it poses a "monster" security operation, according to a Times report, leading to a lockdown of areas in central London. The Metropolitan Police are preparing for one of the largest public order operations in years, as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to come to Westminster to protest at Trump's state visit, which was postponed from earlier this year."

"Pentagon awards contract to United Airlines to forcibly remove Assad" (http://www.duffelblog.com/2017/04/pentagon-awards-contract-united-airlines-forcibly-remove-assad/)
The Pentagon announced Tuesday it had awarded a sole-source contract to United Airlines for work related to the forcible removal of President Bashar al-Assad from Syria.
The contract, worth $2.1 billion, tasks the airline company with locating Assad, grabbing him from his seat in the presidential palace, and “dragging him out of Damascus by his arms.” The contract also notes that Assad should be “asked several times, politely” to give up his seat of power, though if he refuses, United workers should bloody his nose up a bit, according to the posting at FedBizOpps.
The award comes just days after President Donald Trump authorized the launch of cruise missiles at a Syrian air base, in response to Assad’s use of chemical weapons. Two Navy ships launched 59 Tomahawk missiles into Syria, which destroyed roughly 20% of its operational aircraft and a Green Beans Coffee shop being used by the Russian army.
Soon after the strikes, some in the Trump White House began calling for regime change in Syria. Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters that peace in Syria “could not be achieved” with Assad remaining in power.
Though US military officials have struggled in recent months with a plan for removing Assad, United Airlines cleared its final hurdle for the military’s request for proposal on Monday, when it ordered police officers to forcibly remove a passenger from a flight that was overbooked.

The New Yorker's The Borowitz Report: "North Korea Offers Unconditional Surrender After Mike Pence Angrily Squints at It"
PYONGYANG (The Borowitz Report)—In a major foreign-policy coup for the Trump Administration, North Korea offered to unconditionally abandon its nuclear program on Monday, after Mike Pence spent several minutes angrily squinting at the nation from just across the border.
Warning North Korea that the United States had jettisoned its policy of “strategic patience” and that “all options were on the table,” Pence fixed his steely glare on the isolated Communist nation and began furiously staring it down.
After Pence spent between five and six minutes demonstrating U.S. resolve by squinting indignantly, the government in Pyongyang released a statement indicating that North Korea’s nuclear ambitions were a thing of the past.
“We will henceforth abandon our nuclear program and dismantle all existing nuclear facilities,” read the official statement from North Korean President Kim Jong-un. “In exchange, we request that Mike Pence stop giving us that really mean look.”
Moments after the North Korean statement, Pence ordered his facial muscles to stand down, and the Vice-President’s face assumed a peacetime footing.

So Trump signed another Executive Order, this one about "Buying American":
"We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure more products are stamped with those wonderful words "Made in the USA" […] For too long we’ve watched as our factories have been closed and our jobs have been sent to faraway lands," he bragged.
What the order really does is direct federal agencies to crack down on fraud and abuse in the H-1B visa program, which is heavily used by technology companies. And it directs the federal government to fully enforce federal guidelines prioritizing the use of American firms and goods in federal projects. More talk than anything else.
And, by the way, how about leading by example, Mr. President?

So Barack Obama just had a phone call with a French presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron, offering words of encouragement.
Imagine if Trump had a call from anyone in Russia prior to the election for a second.
Is the media going bananas over the possibility of the United States meddling in the French elections?? Is France going to throw a whiny fit if Macron wins and say he is an illegitimate president?
Of course not.
IMO, this Obama phone call is not a big deal at all, but since the liberals and democrats make such a huge deal out of Trump/Russian ties, then the standard was set wasnt it?
It is so funny how people can be completely swayed and blind to anything against their own views or political affiliation.
And please spare me with the technical differences, dont waste your time.

Obviously Trumpel fans have a problem with democracy. Right?
France = Western democracy
Russia = autocracy, close to totalirism, annecting large parts of a neighbor country.
If Obama would have encouraged Erdogan or Kim Jong Un then this would have been certainly wrong.
Every other comparison is ridiculous and therefore needs some explanations in technical differences to remove total confusion from posts.

Funny, I was thinking today about the easiest way (the one that would take the least effort and have the fewest bad repercussions) to change the last election if you could time travel.... I figure on going back and advising Ambassador Stevens to reschedule his visit to the consulate at Benghazi. Or, to go back even further, try Florida in 1999, and persuade a few key counties to upgrade their voting machines....
But anyway, back to silly stuff.
As reported in Buzzfeed, "People Are Trolling Trump's New Anti-Immigrant Hotline With Reports Of Space Aliens And The Government Is Not Amused" (Brianna Sacks, 4/26/17).
The Trump administration launched a new office on Wednesday, the "Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement Office" (VOICE), where people who were victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants coudl get help. There's even a hotline. Since it coincidentally was announced on "Alien Day" (a reference to LV-426, the planet in the "Alien" movies; the date is being used by 20th Century Fox for promotions in a similar manner to how May 4 is used by Star Wars fans...), people decided to have fun with it (all quotes from Twitter):
"Wouldn't it be a shame if millions of people called this hotline to report their encounters with aliens of the UFO-variety." - Alexander McCoy
"In case you want to share your X-Files fan fiction with DHS... 1-855-48-VOICE" - Parker Molloy
"Gonna call and report Superman for being an undocumented immigrant" - Saint Sluggo
While it is kind of funny to joke about it, keep in mind the people at the other end of the phone line are ordinary citizens just trying to do their job.... "There are certainly more constructive ways to make one’s opinions heard than to prevent legitimate victims of crime from receiving the information and resources they seek because the lines are tied up by hoax callers," an ICE spokesperson said.
-
A false claims denunciation hot line?
Pretty sure a good idea for people who love to invent fake news like pizza gate and similar. I just imagine like Bannon the Cannon since his demotions grew a Hitler beard and now calls in there the whole day to voice his opinions about immigrants.
-
Someone asked Donald J Trump "what's your handicap?" He replied, "Are you talking about my tiny hands or my inability to consistently separate fact from fiction?"
-
So Barack Obama just had a phone call with a French presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron, offering words of encouragement.
Imagine if Trump had a call from anyone in Russia prior to the election for a second.
Is the media going bananas over the possibility of the United States meddling in the French elections?? Is France going to throw a whiny fit if Macron wins and say he is an illegitimate president?
Of course not.
IMO, this Obama phone call is not a big deal at all, but since the liberals and democrats make such a huge deal out of Trump/Russian ties, then the standard was set wasnt it?
It is so funny how people can be completely swayed and blind to anything against their own views or political affiliation.
And please spare me with the technical differences, dont waste your time.
Obviously Trumpel fans have a problem with democracy. Right?
France = Western democracy
Russia = autocracy, close to totalirism, annecting large parts of a neighbor country.
If Obama would have encouraged Erdogan or Kim Jong Un then this would have been certainly wrong.
Every other comparison is ridiculous and therefore needs some explanations in technical differences to remove total confusion from posts.
The fact that France is a "western democracy," doesnt this actually make it worse? A "democracy" interferring in another "democracy." Its similar to the United States overthrowing an independent sovereign nation and ousting the democratically elected official.
It just feels like the Never Trump people like to look at things from different perspectives..... if its liberal or from democrats/left then it will be defended and justified but if its the other side then words like "Constitution" and "democracy" are brought up.
In the defense of the left/democrats, I know plenty on the right also do this and I would advocate that both can hold up a mirror and recognize their own partys faults.
That being said, I have yet to see ANYONE from the left here do that.

ONE HUNDRED DAYS IN LATE NIGHT COMEDY (thanks to the Washington Post)
Jan 25: "Friday, the world watched America swear in, as its 45th president, the concept of white-male mediocrity. Oh yeah, it really happened. Donald Trump laid his little p—y-grabbing paw on top of two more books than he’s ever read in his life and spoke the most solemn vow he’s ever uttered since his third wedding." - Samantha Bee
Jan. 30 (on the travel-ban protests): "While all this was happening, President Trump was hosting a screening at the White House of the movie Finding Dory, which, ironically, is a movie about a fish trying to find her parents. To his credit, he was so moved by the film that he lifted all travel restrictions on clownfish." - Jimmy Kimmel
Feb 3: "We’re just 10 days in and it feels like it’s total chaos at the White House. This is supposed to be the honeymoon. How could Trump blow the honeymoon? He’s had three of them." - Stephen Colbert
Feb 14: "In the wake of the Flynn resignation, Democrats are asking what President Trump knew. What did he know? It’s historic. It’s the first time anyone’s ever accused Donald Trump of knowing too much." - Conan O'Brien
Feb 15: "The New York Times has published an article alleging that Trump’s advisers were talking to senior Russian officials during the entire election. I know, the most shocking news to come out of this is that Trump had advisers. Kind of felt like he was just winging it the whole time, didn’t it?" - james Corden
Feb 16: "You know it’s a bad press conference when assuming all black people know each other wasn’t even the worst part of it." - Jimmy Kimmel
Feb 16: "If you can’t trust your president to get the right information on a Google-able fact, then can you really trust him with the harder stuff? Which, by the way, is everything else the president of the United States has to deal with." - Trevor Noah
Feb 17: "People are still talking about President Trump’s wild press conference yesterday. In fact, the New York Times called it ‘77 chaotic minutes.’ Yeah, it’s not good when your first press conference gets the same review as John Wick 2." - Jimmy Fallon
Feb 19: "I’m saying it’s a bit weird you’ve been objectively nicer to Vladimir Putin than you have to Meryl Streep, who I’m pretty sure isn’t an infamous autocrat — although, you know what, now I say it, if she tried it, she’d nail it, the woman is a tour de force." - John Oliver
Feb 28 (after Trump's address to Congress): "Technically, this was not a State of the Union, because I think in this timeline, the Confederacy won." - Stephen Colbert
March 6: "President Trump appeared optimistic saying, ‘Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed.’ Which is hard to believe coming from a guy who’s spent the better part of his life as a slumlord. Whenever a bad landlord says they’ll fix something, you know they’re just going to send some Russian dude to do it." - Saturday Night Live, "Weekend Update"
March 8: "If there’s no one on his staff brave enough to tell their boss that there’s only one ‘p’ in ‘tap,’ there certainly isn’t anyone brave enough to tell him that Obama isn’t running a coup. In fact, the president’s entire staff appears to treat him like a dangerously strong show chimp that you have to bribe with Diet Pepsi so he won’t tear your face off." - Samantha Bee
March 21: "Ivanka Trump is reportedly getting an office in the White House in addition to security clearance and government-issued communication devices. Even more unbelievable, so is Donald Trump." - Seth Meyers
March 22: "At this point, it appears the Republican health-care plan is going to die on the floor of the House. Coincidentally, dying on the floor of the house happens to be the Republican health-care plan." - Conan O'Brien
April 20: "I think there’s strong evidence that the president is always high. Because just look at it: He forgets people’s names, he mixes up Iraq and Syria, and what do high people always do? They forget where they put things. And last week, Donald Trump didn’t just lose his keys, he lost the Navy." - Trevor Noah
April 23 (on Jared Kushner): "It is not unusual for powerful men to give their son-in-laws ‘do-nothing’ jobs but leave it to Donald Trump, who can’t even get nepotism right, to give his a ‘do-everything’ job." - John Oliver

Now that the Republicans in the House of Representatives have so cruelly voted to strip healthcare from at least 24 million of the people who voted for them (and those of us who didn't) while making sure to maintain their own government-sponsored healthcare:

He fired the man who helped his opponent lose -- but since he made his opponent lose, he had to fire him.
Also, the AG who was supposed to recuse himself from anything to do with the Russian investigation, was tasked to "find an excuse" to get him fired.
This is like an arson investigator being fired because he was about to show his boss who set the building alight in the first place.

Reductress: "Calling My Representative Wasn’t Enough, So I Fucked His Wife"
In the months following Trump’s inauguration, I regularly called my representative to express my concerns about his voting record. I left voice messages and spoke directly with his staffers, but still nothing seemed to get through. Simply calling my representative was not enough, so I had to take drastic measures – I fucked his wife. It just seemed like the most effective way to get his attention, and I must say: It worked.
I had been friends with Melanie, the wife of my local representative, for years before we finally sl ept together. She would always flirt with me whenever we hung out, but I always refrained from making a move because that would be disrespectful to my representative and also to the institution of marriage.
However, the day before the House passed the American Health Care Act, I tried calling my representative hundreds of times. He needed to hear that he would lose his constituency should he vote in favor of replacing Obamacare with what is essentially a death warrant for the most vulnerable people in our country. But I couldn’t get through to him. His line was busy, and I got the sense that even if I did reach him, his conscience would not be moved.
So I did what any good citizen would do who wants to make a statement: I went ahead and fucked his wife just like we’d both wanted for years now.
Not just anywhere, obviously. I fucked her in their home, which happens to be in the Xth Congressional district of Louisiana – the same district of which I’m a constituent. It’s important to do your civic duty and act local, and that’s exactly what we did.
I never intended to be a homewrecker. But Melanie and I shared pretty intense chemistry for years, and when calling her husband wasn’t enough to make my presence known, I figured what the hell – participating in political life by the rules had failed me, so why not get creative? If Republicans can gerrymander districts, I can certainly fuck the shit out of this guy’s wife, right?
“I just want to let you know I’m not voting for you in the next election,” I told my representative the morning after, as I sat in his open-plan kitchen eating a bowl of Kix and wearing his wife’s shirt. “I hope you live a long life full of regret. Anyway, see you at the polls. Byeeeeeeee!”
Melanie learned a lot from that experience. And so did her husband.
I’m not sure my representative cared, because he still voted for the bill and also because he’d already been cheating on his wife every single time he went to D.C. But I don’t feel discouraged about the way things turned out. Every small thing we do to make our politicians notice us should be celebrated even if it doesn’t change everything. We can all make a little difference here and there. If that means fucking the shit out of your representative’s wife of 18 years, then don’t be afraid to take up the cause.

Where's Sean Spicer?
If he had any sense, he'd be brushing up his resume...but as someone who knows about these sort of things said:
“You don’t find people who mentioned they worked at the Nixon White House unless they were high enough and conspicuous and had to admit it...Anybody who is there now, if they’re anywhere close to the problems, they’re probably going to need an attorney, and it’s going to get expensive...I think a lot of people are going to get hurt.”

Then the idea struck me everybody remembers in his better days Baghdad Sean (Alias: Chemical Spicey) was the white house easter bunny. Now Easter isn't that long ago, I'd asume he was searching for the lost easter eggs that didn't got found back then ...
Makes perfectly sense to me AND NOT FUNNY AT ALL because it has a serious reasoning.

He went in front of the Coast Guard commencement audience and whined about how badly he's being treated "especially by the media." (https://www.youtube.com/v/I5yD_CeC5z8&rel=0) The media is reporting on the bullshit you do on a daily basis, you jackass! If you stop doing it, they'll have nothing to talk about!
And for you to say that no president has ever been treated this badly is an insult to presidents like the one you hounded for eight years because he was black -- not to talk of actual presidents who got killed on the job like Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy. And none of them were flying to their private club every weekend to play golf at the taxpayers' expense either.
-
I am beginning to think that when he said, "You're gonna win so much you're gonna be tired of winning", I think his addled brain meant whining, not winning.
"At this point I don’t think it matters what Trump does, because he seems to have a pathological aversion to taking responsibility for anything. Instead, he just whines, puts the blame on others, and plays the victim. For example he recently talked about how persecuted he was by the media. Yeah, forget the actual criticisms they have, just focus on how they’re mean to him, and Trump is such a victim…
You’d think his supporters would see this, considering they always accuse liberals of playing the victim. Instead, they just eat it up. If you look at pro-Trump videos you will almost always see a comment that says: “Trump would be doing great, it’s just that the media is out to get him and attacks anything he does.”
I didn’t realize it was the media that made Trump break his campaign promises, be the biggest hypocrite on the face of the Earth, and act like an incompetent buffoon. I thought it was Trump who did that. But it seems like the Trump supporters who always talk about “taking personal responsibility” and not blaming your situation on others, can’t apply their own logic to their dear leader."

"Look at the way I’ve been treated lately. Especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." - Donald Trump
-
The last three paragraphs make me realize just how steep the hill of stupidity these people labor under:
BBC: "Historians suggest 'more unfairly' treated politicians than Trump"
US President Donald Trump is being told off by historians on Twitter after stating that his treatment by critics was worse than anything any other politician has faced.
In an address to a US Coast Guard graduating class in Connecticut on Wednesday, Mr Trump said: "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."
The comments follow accusations Mr Trump asked former FBI director James Comey to drop an inquiry into links between ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russia.
The president's supporters maintain there is no proof or evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia and the media has been biased against him.
Some historians were quick to qualify the president's remark, providing case studies of leaders who they say had it worse.
BBC history presenter Dan Snow posted a thread of tweets shared thousands of times in which he outlined the gruesome demise of several figures, including Emperor Valerian, Oliver Cromwell, Patrice Lumumba, and Edward II.
Users who commented on the thread also shared images of other influential personalities they believe had suffered more, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Malcolm X among others.
Tweeting Mr Trump's quote, historian Tom Holland added: "Take that, Cleopatra!"
Greg Jenner, best known for his BBC series Horrible Histories, also tweeted: "Sir Arthur Aston had his brains beaten out of his skull with his own wooden leg."
Writer Jelani Cobb, formerly an associate professor of history, highlighted Nicolae Ceaușescu - a Romanian politician who was executed alongside his wife in 1989. Commenting on Mr Trump's address, Cobb continued: "Imagining this as a theatre act with a foldaway cross he mounts and uses as a podium and ketchup stigmata."
And a professor of history and African American Studies at Princeton University altered the president's line to read: "No politician in history is worse than me."
Meanwhile, others drew attention to previous US leaders who had either been shot or assassinated, as well as previous president Barack Obama who was subject to the "birther" conspiracy of which Trump was a proponent.
In July 2016, a non-partisan petition labelled Historians Against Trump with nearly 1,000 signatories said: "The lessons of history compel us to speak out against Trump."
But some came to the president's defence and agree that he "has been treated unfairly" by the mainstream media which have not reported "his accomplishments".
"Trump is right as far as I know," another added.
"I [have] never seen such hatred against a president. They are not capable of reporting facts. Just propaganda for the Democrats," one user elaborated.

New York Magazine: "It Is With a Heavy Heart That I Must Announce That Former White House Photographer Pete Souza Is at It Again", by Madison Malone Kircher
"Since February, former White House photographer — he spent eight years documenting the Obamas — Pete Souza has used his Instagram presence to relive the years he spent with his lens focused on the Oval Office. And, in the process, has used his Instagram presence to throw a fair bit of shade at Donald Trump and the current administration. (Frankly, at this point, his behavior has moved past shady, jumped over passive-aggressive, and landed squarely in blatantly mocking territory.) Today was no exception. Following a series of clips that appeared to show Melania Trump swatting away and evading her husband’s attempts to hold her hand, Souza shared a photo of Barack and Michelle Obama. Holding hands, naturally.

The Babylon Bee: "Trump Selects McGruff The Crime Dog As FBI Director"
Finally selecting James Comey’s replacement as head of the department, President Donald Trump named McGruff the Crime Dog as FBI Director Wednesday morning.
The large, cuddly, anthropomorphic canine detective was announced as Comey’s replacement at a White House press conference.
“McGruff is a real nasty dog—just the kind of guy we need to help drain the swamp in Washington,” Trump told reporters. “Plus, he’s a big stuffed animal, so he won’t be investigating any of my alleged ties to Russia.”
“He’ll be taking a bite out of crime, believe me. The biggest bites around. I take big bites too. The best, really,” Trump added.
Taking his place behind the microphone, McGruff gave a short speech, saying, “All crime needs is a chance. Don’t give it a chance,” before President Trump gave him a pat on the head and mouthed, “That’s a good boy.”

The NY Daily News is running a serial that imagines Mike Pence leading a coup to remove Trump from office via the 25th Amendment.
http://interactive.nydailynews.com/fiction/coup/
COUP! A Political Satire
by "Deep State" with Gersh Kuntzman
"Mike Pence and a skeet-shooting pothead, Rick Perry's dance leotard, a waterboard and Ivanka save America from Donald Trump."
Wilhelm! What the hell is keeping you?” Wilhelm finally arrived with a copy of the Constitution. "I’m sorry that took so long, sir. It seems the President removed all the history books from the vice president’s study. The only books in there are ’The Art of the Deal,’ ’The Art of the Comeback’ and ’The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received’ in multiple copies grouped by language."
"He’s using my study as a bookstore?" Pence wondered.
"He even has 50 copies of ’The America We Deserve’ translated into Russian," Wilhelm said, handing over the pocket-sized Constitution.
Pence skipped over the flowery parts but something that caught his eye in Article II, Section 6: "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office" for "inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office."
"Inability to discharge the powers and duties...?" Pence muttered. "I wonder who gets to decide that?"
"You do, Mr. Vice President, thanks to the 25th Amendment," Wilhelm said.
Pence stood up quickly.
"Twenty-fifth?" Pence yelled. "Did you say ’25th’?! "That’s what Biden was blinking to me! Twenty-five! Joe F’ing Biden.""
"What do you mean, sir?" Wilhelm said.
...
There it was again: Two quick, three slow and five quick.
There could be no mistaking it. Biden was signaling Pence in Morse Code. The outgoing vice president knew the famous dot-and-dash code from his days on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose Democratic members used it to signal each other when they were dismayed or frustrated with the Republicans.
"Dot dash dash, dash, dot dot dash dot," he would blink at Chris Dodd whenever Jesse Helms opened his flabby mouth.
WTF, indeed.
Pence also knew Morse Code, but he had no idea why Joe Biden would be blinking "25" at him. For all he knew it was the security code to some locked drawer in the vice president’s office where Biden had left him a bottle of Scotch. After all, Pence never drank in public without his wife, but a little office nip wasn’t going to break any rules...

The outgoing vice president knew the famous dot-and-dash code from his days on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose Democratic members used it to signal each other when they were dismayed or frustrated with the Republicans.
"Dot dash dash, dash, dot dot dash dot," he would blink at Chris Dodd whenever Jesse Helms opened his flabby mouth.
WTF, indeed.
Pence also knew Morse Code, but he had no idea why Joe Biden would be blinking "25" at him. For all he knew it was the security code to some locked drawer in the vice president’s office where Biden had left him a bottle of Scotch.
That is genuinely funny stuff!

Metro: "Hillary Clinton's campaign Twitter is back — and it's trolling Trump " (http://www.metro.us/news/politics/hillary-clinton-twitter-trolling-trump)
"President Trump's been asking for it.
As the investigation into his Russian ties expanded this week — and he himself confirmed that he was officially under FBI investigation — Trump took to Twitter and revived one of his favorite complaints: That he was being treated unfairly while "Crooked Hillary" Clinton was escaping scrutiny for various, often imaginary, misdeeds....
Hillary Clinton — or, more likely, one of her close associates — is not taking this lying down. A Twitter account used by her campaign has revived after seven months of inactivity, and it's trolling Trump hardcore. To the above tweets, the account responded with a meme from Ferris Bueller's Day Off:"

The Onion: "Panicking Mitch McConnell Shoves Entire Senate Healthcare Bill Into Mouth As Democrat Walks Past" (http://trib.al/c7rQXUn)
WASHINGTON—Quickly crumpling up all 500 pages of the legislation upon hearing footsteps in the hallway, sources reported Tuesday that a panicked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell shoved the entire Senate healthcare bill in his mouth as a Democratic senator walked past. According to witnesses, McConnell became visibly flustered upon realizing there was no place to hide from the Democratic colleague approaching his doorway and began ripping wads of documents from a binder and cramming them through his open jaws as rapidly as possible. Asked about the location of an upcoming meeting, McConnell, cheeks distended to many times their original size, reportedly grunted several times and gestured toward a nearby conference room. At press time, McConnell had spit out the massive clump of saliva-coated, half-chewed papers, which, while largely illegible, would reportedly insure 10 million more people than the original.

McSweeney's: "I Only Protested the Affordable Care Act Because the President Was Black. Please Don’t Take Away My Health Insurance" (https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-only-protested-the-affordable-care-act-because-the-president-was-black-please-dont-take-away-my-health-insurance)
Back in 2009, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was being debated in Congress, I was fuming with anger. How could I, a fiscal conservative, support a program that would drive down my insurance costs and cover my chi1d’s preexisting condition? It clearly was a flawed bill that would ruin small businesses.
I nearly boiled over for eight years, and rightly so. But now that President Obama has finally left office, and the Republicans want to take away my health insurance options and increase my premiums, I just want to be up front about something.
It was never about the taxes. It was always about the president’s Blackness. It was super related to his race. Arguably, completely and wholly tied to race, alright? And now that the president is normal again, I’d be very grateful to be able to enjoy this health insurance and all these patient protections that have saved my small business and my chi1d’s life. So please, don’t repeal the Affordable Care Act...
As a side note, whoever came up with the idea of tarnishing a reasonable, middle-class solution by attaching President Obama’s name and face to it did a great job. Totally got me. But manipulating me through my deep-seated tribalism isn’t a good enough reason why my 24-year-old bartender son deserves to lose his health insurance, is it? I mean, it was probably why he became a bartender, but that’s beside the point. Isn’t it?
In conclusion, I am sorry to everybody who I hurt complaining about death panels in 2009, the website rollout in 2013, and the corporate deep state in 2016. My bad. But can’t we just keep all of these solutions now that the Black person who came up with them is gone? I “hope” so.
And yes, I still firmly believe Hillarycare would have been a disaster for the economy.

Yet he took the US to war based on lies that he knew were made up allegations in order to persuade the country. Hundreds of thousands of people have died as a result - all for the benefit of the MIC, big oil, big banks, etc.
GWB was not and is not a decent human being for that reason alone.
If his "political, professional, get in front of a camera" words convinced you to think otherwise, then that gullibility falls in line with this thread - Funny Politics.

Well as much it hurts to admit that GWB who has feigned reasons for starting US gulf war II as did his father short sighted started US gulf war I, isn't the worst US president ever. He was responsible for ten thousands that died in the gulf war II and after that, but Trumpel has clearly the potential (and we will see it happen if he makes it for 10 years) to be responsible for the death of millions along with with asking to murder US citizens within the US by beating them to death because they disturbed him a few times too much.
In addition he tries to undermine democracy.
So again it hurts to admit that GWB wasn't worser than Trumpel, but that's a simple fact.

I am NOT making this up.
Kris Kobach refuses to comply with Kris Kobach's request. (http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article159113369.html)
Back in May, if you were paying attention, Trump appointed Kansas' Secretary of State Kris Kobach to head a commission to investigate the allegations of voter fraud in the past election.
Well, last week, Kobach sent a request to the states for voter information. The names, addresses, date of birth, party affiliation, and last four digits of their Social Security numbers (among other info) for all registered voters. Many states immediately protested, saying they could not by their own state laws comply with this request. Others pointed out quite rightly that the database the federal government was using wasn't secure, and was too weak to properly identify duplicate registrations (it didn't account for middle names, or "Sr." and "Jr.", among other problems). Others noted that the only reason you could want party affiliation was if you were looking to suppress votes of the "wrong" party.
Last time I checked, something like 40 of the 50 states said they weren't going to comply with the request, for the various reasons cited above.
Including Kansas, where Kris Kobach is still the Secretary of State, and in charge of that state's voter rolls. He wont' comply with his own request because "the Social Security Number is not publicly available". He'll provide the rest of the information, though.
But still......
;D ;D ;D
-
Last time I checked, something like 40 of the 50 states said they weren't going to comply with the request, for the various reasons cited above.
Some of the responses have been quite hilarious. For instance, when Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington (who is a Democrat) saw the (attached) official response to this idiotic request from the Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann (who is a Republican), he tweeted "I believe this is an excellent response to the administration’s request, though I’d strongly suggest they jump in Lake Washington."
Gotta love the bipartisanship.

And of course, it was TOTALLY BEYOND THE PALE for a production of Julius Caesar to encourage violence by having the title character look like the president....
Anyway, with regards to the Declaration of Independence.....
NPR tweeted the entire text on the 4th. Needless to say, some Trump supporters took exception to it.
Declaration of Independence: "It is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government..."
Twitter user: "So, NPR is calling for revolution...."
Declaration: "A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
Twitter user: "Please stop. This is not the right place."
Other comments by people who didn't get it:
"Propaganda is that all you know how? Try supporting a man who wants to do something about the Injustice in this country #drainingtheswamp"
"Literally no one is going to read 5000 tweets about this trash." (It only took 113)
"Glad you are being defunded. You have never been balanced on your show."
"Are you drunk? Your silly tweets make your state of mind questionable."
Well....
Maybe they were expecting the GOP's amended version, as shared by Brian Dickerson of the Detroit Free Press:
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people PARTY to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another THE OTHER PARTY and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal SUPERIOR station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God BIGGEST ELECTORAL VICTORY EVER (IF YOU DON’T COUNT THE FRAUDULENT VOTES) entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind DEMANDS OF CABLE NEWS requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation ISSUE A STATEMENT, IDEALLY BEFORE THE PRESIDENT TWEETS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE AGREED ON."

Well, you know..... the reason that deal worked was because Trump's chief opponent in the general election put together the package of tough sanctions that forced Iran to cry "Uncle!" and head to the negotiating table. You know, the Secretary of State whose enemies / opponents always wanted to know what she accomplished as SecState?
Do you think she'd be better at handling the current situation than Trump?

"Hi, I voted in all 50 states. Just wanted you to know." - Beau

“Dear Mr. Kobach…
I have watched your activities in Kansas trying to suppress voters on the basis of fraudulent claims of massive voter fraud for which there is absolutely no evidence. Your new agency is preparing, it seems, to rig elections. You, sir, are the fraud and neither you nor our President are to be trusted.
Mr. Trump’s claims that millions of fraudulent votes were cast against him is the ravings of an egomaniac who can’t stand to lose.
I hope and pray that you fail.” - Fr. Antony Hughes

“Just because P. Trump’s ego can’t stand losing the popular vote, it doesn’t mean the whole country should suffer.” - Diane Kroeze
“I wholeheartedly support California’s decision not to send you the voter data you requested. Your lack of integrity and refusal to acknowledge basic facts undermines our democracy.”—Bob Worobec
“I pay the government a boat load of taxes, so you work for me. I think you are doing a terrible job. Explain yourself.”—Diane Hallinen
“Is this where we file complaints about the guy who lost the election but still became president?”—John Butler

Not a bug, but a feature. I mean, what better way to squash dissent, than by letting the citizenry complain on a website, capture their names and home addresses, then distribute those names and addresses to (say) the local branch of the NRA (which in June re-released an ad (https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/06/29/nra-spokesperson-proud-controversial-nra-ad-smeared-anti-trump-resistance-movement/217107) basically calling upon their members to cause bodily harm against anyone who doesn't like the current occupant of the White House). I wonder how eager one would be to say anything bad about them thereafter. So I guess now there is a penalty for exercising one’s constitutional right to petition the government for redress of grievances (https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment), that penalty being White House collusion in your identity theft -- or worse.
Oh, look. Suddenly our new policy initiative to give oil companies permission to drill in Yellowstone National Park right near an active supervolcano (http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/features/the-zones), for which we solicited feedback from the public, has received a 157% positive rating! Goody goody!

Jokes they're telling in Mexico about Trump
http://extranewsfeed.com/12-americans-walk-into-a-mexican-bar-54ee76848f8a
Allan Isaac went south of the border to collect the best Donald Trump jokes circulating in this country of “rapists and criminals”.
"In fact, just like the Americans who have flocked to this laid-back beach town (Tulum) for the long Labor Day weekend, the natives would prefer to tell jokes about The Donald — some predictable, some sophomoric, many delightfully self-deprecating— than to spend one minute worrying about the man they call “La Broma En Naranja.” The Orange Joke."

The New Yorker: Satire from The Borowitz Report: White House Rejects Supremacist Label: “No One Has Done More Than Trump to Prove White People Are Not Superior”
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Upbraiding the ESPN anchor Jemele Hill for calling Donald Trump a “white supremacist,” the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on Wednesday that “no one has done more than President Trump to prove that white people are not superior.”
“It’s grossly unfair that Ms. Hill sought to portray Donald Trump as an upholder of white supremacy, when everything he says or does directly undermines that whole concept,” Sanders said. “Anyone who thinks that Donald Trump is on some mission to make white people look good hasn’t been paying attention.”
Sanders urged the ESPN anchor to “do her homework” on Trump before making baseless allegations. “Read his tweets,” she said. “Listen to his speeches. If you still think Donald Trump is trying to prove that white people are superior, I tip my hat to you.”
Ending on a personal note, Sanders said that she was “a hundred-per-cent sure” that her boss is not a white supremacist. “Donald Trump cannot even spell the word ‘supremacist,’ ” she said.

It's hard to admit but Sarah Huckabee Sanders is absolutely right!
Trumpel showed that white people are dumb, very dumb if others see him as a role model of white people. He's the evidence.

OK, I'll give you that. The GIF of Trump throwing a tantrum is great!
Anyway, the link goes to a photo of President Obama meeting with Elton John, who had a hit with the song "Rocket Man", which became Trump's nickname for Kim Jong Un for no apparent reason.
Pete Souza was an official White House photographer in the Obama administration. Now that he's out of that role, he's been sharing many of those photos on his Instagram feed, often in a way that subtly "trolls" Trump. For example, after Trump went to Houston and spoke to a group of SUVs and firetrucks in Corpus Christi TX (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/29/16222404/trump-crowd-hurricane-harvey-victims), Souza responded by sharing photos of Obama meeting with people affected by Sandy and a devastating tornado in Joplin MO.

^ BIZARRO TRUMP!

As a reaction to Senator Corkers tweet:
"Senator Bob Corker @SenBobCorker
It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning."
On the opposite of adult day care they tell tales like those (unfortunately I can't link to Wikipedia due to protection of minors).
But everyone remember this tale collected by Brothers Grimm:

And now he's challenged Tillerson to an IQ test-off.
Once again, H. L. Mencken proves to be a prophet.
The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre -- the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

So according to the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-offered-a-grieving-military-father-25000-in-a-call-but-didnt-follow-through/2017/10/18/8d4cbc8c-b43a-11e7-be94-fabb0f1e9ffb_story.html?utm_term=.ad71bd2d2424), El Presidente Trump not only called the father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan, but also promised to send the father $25,000. The father expressed frustration that his son had designated Baldridge’s ex-wife as the beneficiary for his military death benefits, about $100,000. Now people say a lot of things when they are emotionally distraught like this, so let's ignore the bit about the money going to his son's ex.
What matters here is that Trump immediately promised to personally send the father $25,000. When Dad got a letter from the White House soon afterwards, he opened it in eager anticipation. Imagine his surprise when it was nothing but a plain condolence letter!
Anyway, once the WaPo story broke, according to CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/18/politics/donald-trump-personal-check-soldier/index.html), the White House immediately came out and said, "The Check is in The Mail".
Why is this in Funny Politics?

An ex-Twitter employee is now an Internet hero after briefly deactivating the personal Twitter account of the current occupant of the White House. The social media company issued a statement after the account was returned to the site, later adding that a customer support employee had used their last day at the company to deactivate it, and that "we are conducting a full internal review."
Needless to say, it garnered quite a few reactions on the social media site itself, mostly in favor of the anonymous ex-employee.

Oh man, Carter Page's testimony before the House Intelligence Committee is a laugh riot!
He claims the Steele Dossier made him "radioactive". And because of that "dodgy dossier" (his term), he doesn't feel safe anymore. He can't remember who he met with on his visits to Russia, or even if they really had an actual meeting or just passed each other on the street. He has no fixed abode because of "terrorist threats":
MR. SWALWELL: Where do you currently live?
MR. PAGE: I have - due to the terrorist threats -
MR. SWALWELL: No. Where do you live?
MR. PAGE: I don't have any set address right now.
Apparently, he keeps crashing on people's couches - but he can't remember any of their names.
He went to Russia in December of last year, and may or may not have stopped off in London on the way there or on the way back - he doesn't remember. But whatever the case, he certainly didn't meet with any Russians there!
Then Rep. Adam Schiff asked him about a trip to Brussels, and Page answered about a trip to Budapest. When pressed, he can't remember where he stayed (in Budapest, not Brussels), or what he talked about with the officials he met there.
Then more whining about death threats and the like.
Seriously, read some excerpts. It's nuts.

This is Ted Crockett. He is on Roy Moore's campaign. Recently on CNN, Jake Tapper asked him about his candidate's views on why "Moosleems" shouldn't be allowed to serve in Congress. The attached video shows the last part of their exchange:
Tapper: "Judge Moore has also said that he doesn't think a Muslim member of Congress should be allowed to be in Congress. Why? Under what provision of the Constitution?"
Crockett: "Because you have to swear on the Bible -- when you are before -- I had to do it. I'm an elected official, three terms, I had to swear on a Bible. You have to swear on a Bible to be an elected official in the United States of America. He alleges that a Muslim cannot do that, ethically, swearing on the Bible."
Tapper: "You don't actually have to swear on a Christian bible, you can swear on anything, really. I don't know if you knew that. You can swear on a Jewish Bible."
Crockett: "Oh no. I swore on the Bible. I've done it three times."
Tapper: "I'm sure you have, I'm sure you've picked a Bible but the law is not that you have to swear on a Christian Bible. That is not the law. (http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/tocs/a6_3.html) You don't know that? All right. Ted Crockett with the Moore --
Crockett: "I don't know. I know that Donald Trump did it when he -- when we made him President."
Tapper: "Because he's Christian and he picked it. That's what he wanted to swear in on. Ted Crockett with the Moore campaign. Good luck tonight!..."
When you look up the term "slack-jawed yokel", this is the picture you find there.

So the Centers for Disease Control was given a diktat that it could no longer use certain words and terms in their budget proposals. Specifically, "diversity," "fetus," "transgender," "vulnerable," "entitlement," "science-based" and "evidence-based."
Needless to say, after the CDC told the Washington Post about this, the WH scrambled to cover its ass....
There's one other word that actually used to be a technical medical term.....

USA Today: "Papa John or 'Papa Gone'? Twitter reacts as CEO John Schnatter steps down"
News that Papa John's founder John Schnatter would step down as chief executive of the pizza company sparked some popular tweets Thursday — some arguably more popular than the pizza itself.
Many riffed on Schnatter's role as Papa of pizza, wondering whether Mama was up next or how Elton John might be feeling about the developments.
"Papa John has stepped down so he can spend more time with his family, Mama John and Son John," actor Ike Barinholtz tweeted...
Papa John's announcement came about two months after Schnatter publicly blamed slowing sales growth on the outcry surrounding players kneeling during the national anthem. The company is an NFL sponsor and advertiser.
In the days following that rant, a white supremacist publication claimed the company as the official pizza of the alt-right in a post that included a photo of pizza with pepperonis arranged in a swastika...
The company apologized two weeks after Schnatter's comments, condemning racism and saying it didn't want such groups buying its pizza.
"Open to ideas from all," one company tweet read. "Except neo-nazis — (a raised middle finger emoji) those guys."
The apology was roasted on Twitter by some who felt the apology was too little, too late. "You may be offending some of your only remaining customers. (Spoilers: They're Nazis)," one user said.

So after calling nations "shitholes", and then asking why we can't get more people from places like Norway (a place universal health care and a very high standard of living *despite* a high tax rate - so why would they want to come here anyway)....

Pete Whittaker: Ask them if they're Russians!
Walt Whittaker: Peter, be quiet.
Lieutenant Rozanov: [thick Russian accent] Very clever little boy. Very, very clever, to see that my friend and I are foreigners here, but of course not Russian, naturally. What would the Russians be doing on United States of America island, with so many animosities and hatreds between these two countries? It is too funny an idea, is it not? No, we... we are of course... Norveegans.

He was deemed to be "in excellent health" despite a constant diet of cheeseburgers, no exercise, and being on Crestor (a drug to lower cholesterol). This led Dr. Sanjay Gupta to question "To be clear though, he is taking a cholesterol lowering medication, he has evidence of heart disease and he is borderline obese...can you characterize that as excellent health?"
On his New York State driver's license, he was 6'2". According to his doctor, he's 6'3". Either the NYS DMV mismeasured or a miracle of growing an inch taller in his 70s occurred.
Or, was it? After all, if he were really 6'2" and 239 pounds, his BMI would be 30.7, which means he's obese. But with the miracle of that additional inch, his BMI now becomes 29.9, which means he's merely "overweight". (To be fair I think the BMI is a non-scientific kludge, but what can you do.)

What a moron. The new tax law will help repatriate at least 2 Trillion Dollars held overseas by corporate America since the corporate tax is no longer so skewed in regards to other countries. Microsoft, a company which openly supported Clinton, will bring back to the USA about $350 Billion Dollars it was holding overseas due to the past insane corporate tax rate and pay $38 Billion in taxes for the privilege. That's $38 Billion that the US Treasury will get. Fiat - Chrysler will bring back pick up production from Mexico to the USA and create 2,500 well paying industrial jobs because the higher productivity of the US worker will no longer be handicapped by excessive taxes. And while Marxists/Leftists/ Liberals are distracted by Tweets, there has been a massive amount of deregulation which is why small business confidence is at its highest in 45 years since that survey was started by the US government. Marxist/Leftist/Liberals always say how much they love the working class but in reality they only wish to enslave them under the soft slavery of government dependency. And if they don't go along, then they are racists, sexists, homophobic, etc, etc. The dominant media markets of New York and Los Angeles and its inhabitants disdain and have a great deal of hatred for " Fly over America " but it finally blew up in their faces when Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, states which Marxists/Leftists/Liberals took for granted, rebelled for the callousness that they exhibit to the working class. Recently several large companies like Walmart, largest private employer in the USA, have raised their wages and given employees $1,000.00 bonuses due to the massive change. Senator Diane Feinstein D- CA, worth $700,000,000.00, called it " peanuts". Well, if you are making $20,000.00 - $30,000.00 a year, it's a big deal. Trump makes me wince once in a while but he is doing the right economic things which is why the stock market is zooming.

Recently several large companies like Walmart, largest private employer in the USA, have raised their wages and given employees $1,000.00 bonuses due to the massive change.
The Washington Post, Jan. 2018: "Walmart said it’s giving its employees a raise. And then it closed 63 stores."
Walmart, the largest U.S. private employer with more than 1 million workers, said Thursday it plans to raise starting wages from $9 to $11 an hour and hand out employee bonuses ranging from $200 to $1,000, becoming the latest company to give a least some of the credit for new worker benefits to the recently passed tax plan.
But economists and professors cast doubt on whether tax policy changes were the driving force behind the move by a retailing giant that for years has stood as a lightning rod for criticism over low worker pay.
With the national unemployment rate at 4.1 percent, a 17-year low, there are more job openings in the retail industry than at any time since the turn of the century, government data show...
Observers said Walmart almost had to raise wages now if it wanted to keep step with peers such as Target, which late last year raised its starting wage to $11 an hour, with plans to reach $15 by 2020.
“I would’ve been astounded if they hadn’t raised wages,” said Thomas Kochan, a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. “What’s impossible to sort out is how much of this is because of savings from the tax cuts, and how much is because of pressure they’re receiving from employees and labor groups.”...
But it wasn’t all good news. The retailer also said Thursday that it had suddenly closed 63 Sam’s Club stores, affecting thousands of workers. In a tweet, the company said the closures would help “better align” its physical locations with its strategy. (Ten locations will reopen as e-commerce fulfillment centers.)

New York Post, Jan. 18, 2018: "Trump reportedly made porn star spank him with mag featuring his face"
President Trump once made Stormy Daniels spank him with a Forbes magazine with his photo on the cover — and sit with him for hours watching “Shark Week,” the porn star told a political operative, according to a report.
In 2009, Daniels was mulling a Senate run in Louisiana and working with local political consultants about potential donors.
Trump was on her list — and his name was one of the contacts in her phone, one operative told Andrea Dubé, a Democratic political consultant in an email.
“She says one time he made her sit with him for three hours watching ‘Shark Week.’ Another time he had her spank him with a Forbes magazine,” the consultant told Dubé in a series of emails, which were obtained by Mother Jones. (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/stormy-daniels-once-claimed-she-spanked-donald-trump-with-a-forbes-magazine/)
Both operatives confirmed they exchanged the emails.
The consultant who wrote to Dubé told Mother Jones that Daniels said Trump spanked her with Forbes magazine that featured himself on the cover.
An issue from 2006 includes Trump and two of his [offspring] on the cover, with the headline “The 400 Richest People in America.”
Daniels’ run would have been against Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, who became embroiled in a sex scandal a couple years earlier when his phone number was found in the records of the “D.C. Madam” accused of running a **31** ring in the capital.
The Wall Street Journal said last week (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-arranged-130-000-payment-for-adult-film-stars-silence-1515787678) that Trump’s lawyer paid Daniels $130,000 weeks before the presidential election (https://nypost.com/2018/01/12/trump-team-paid-porn-star-130k-to-keep-quiet-about-extramarital-affair/) to keep quiet about their 2006 tryst.
On Thursday, the newspaper reported (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-lawyer-used-private-company-pseudonyms-to-pay-porn-star-stormy-daniels-1516315731) that the lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid her through a private Delaware company, called Essential Consultants LLC, that he’d created on Oct. 17, 2016.
Cohen used a bank account linked to the company to pay Daniels, the report says.
Both Daniels and Trump have denied having an affair.

This happens when you trust the far right wing extremist nazi terrorist FAKE NEWS Breitbart website ...
So a crack gang is moving migrants on jet-skis. And for proof a picture. Would it have been a widely available far right wing extremist nazi terrorist meme, the meme certainly would be a proof for a wide variety of simple minded people. Maybe compareable to the intellectual mastermind Lucy from a few million years back ...
If you believed it you are victim of FAKE NEWS on Breitbart.
The guy with the red life saving device is well known in Germany. He is actually the soccer player Lukas Podolski from the German national team. He won the world cup in 2014.

Recently several large companies like Walmart, largest private employer in the USA, have raised their wages and given employees $1,000.00 bonuses due to the massive change.
The Washington Post, Jan. 2018: "Walmart said it’s giving its employees a raise. And then it closed 63 stores."i
Walmart, the largest U.S. private employer with more than 1 million workers, said Thursday it plans to raise starting wages from $9 to $11 an hour and hand out employee bonuses ranging from $200 to $1,000, becoming the latest company to give a least some of the credit for new worker benefits to the recently passed tax plan.
But economists and professors cast doubt on whether tax policy changes were the driving force behind the move by a retailing giant that for years has stood as a lightning rod for criticism over low worker pay.
With the national unemployment rate at 4.1 percent, a 17-year low, there are more job openings in the retail industry than at any time since the turn of the century, government data show...
Observers said Walmart almost had to raise wages now if it wanted to keep step with peers such as Target, which late last year raised its starting wage to $11 an hour, with plans to reach $15 by 2020.
“I would’ve been astounded if they hadn’t raised wages,” said Thomas Kochan, a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. “What’s impossible to sort out is how much of this is because of savings from the tax cuts, and how much is because of pressure they’re receiving from employees and labor groups.”...
But it wasn’t all good news. The retailer also said Thursday that it had suddenly closed 63 Sam’s Club stores, affecting thousands of workers. In a tweet, the company said the closures would help “better align” its physical locations with its strategy. (Ten locations will reopen as e-commerce fulfillment centers.)
I am pretty sure these generous companies do the extra bonus now for every year, since the tax is now reduced for longer. Certainly employees now can expect additional bonuses year after year after year! What do you think?
And wow $US 1,000.00. How much is it after taxes? A 1/3 or 1/4 of and iMac? Joe Average can really have a privileged life now.
I personally wouldn't trust my company freely giving out more money after the first 1-2 years. I think just short minded looking on these one or two time bonuses and saying Trumpelstilsken and GOP doing the right thing will fire back to Joe average.
Apart that reducing taxes didn't work under Reagan to get Joe average richer, but got the richest richer, it won't work this time, too.

Trump called them out on their DACA bluff. Which it turns out, Democrats dont care about DACA, they only care about the antics of caring about DACA. Democrats are now stuck looking like fools because if they take the deal, then Trump will appear as a "great negotiator." And they cant have that!

HAHAAHAHA!!
While Adam Schiff has been constantly bellowing about Trump and Russia collusion, something unreal has happened.
If gaining damning information from Russians against a political opponent is "collusion!" I wonder how exactly will Adam Schiff try to explain his conversation with what he believed to be Russian informants!!
It got recorded! He was led to believe there were nude photos of Trump with a Russian model.
Schiff got pranked and caught red handed. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Rut64GDgA)
DNC talking heads, along with radical extremists leftist communist terrorists on the internet, have been suggesting that anyone talking to Russia Today/RT is "working for Putin and the Russians."

New York Magazine: "Donald Trump’s Hair Illusion Came Undone and We All Missed It" (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/trumps-hair-illusion-came-undone-and-we-all-missed-it.html)
"Last Friday, at the end of one of those frenetic weeks of news that now happen every week, President Trump boarded Air Force One. The wind whipped across the tarmac with unusual force. Trump, who normally has a MAGA hat for such occasions, was unusually unprepared. As he ascended the stairs, cameras had a rear-facing view of the president’s scalp as the howling gusts lifted his combed-over strands straight into the air, and the long-concealed bare scalp below was briefly exposed to the daytime cable audience (https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ga68KI0wTp0) and to Ashley Feinberg (https://twitter.com/ashleyfeinberg/status/961067979692789760), who spotted the big reveal. It was horrific...
It was the worst hair day of what has been a bad hair life. (https://www.youtube.com/embed/vHwOMWGAg_o) And it may seem cheap and low to mock Trump’s absurd efforts to conceal his hair loss. But Trump is a man obsessed with image in ways that go beyond the normal human concern with looking presentable. Image is Trump’s moral code. He dismisses his political rivals for being short. He sees his succession of wives as visual testament to his own status. He selects (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/us/politics/a-trump-tower-view-of-the-new-boss.html) his Cabinet on the basis of their looking the part. He conscripts the military as a prop to bathe himself in an aura of presidential grandeur.
Trump’s absurd hair is of a piece with his lifelong attempt to market himself as a brilliant deal-maker and stable genius. So yes, it is okay to laugh when the ruse is exposed."

Nancy Pelosi blames George W. Bush for Veterans Affairs scandal
by Joel Gehrke | May 22, 2014, 2:09 PM
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly put the blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal on former President George W. Bush, while arguing that her party has worked hard for veterans in recent years.
Pelosi took a shot at Bush while saying that the scandal is a high priority for Obama. "He sees the ramifications of some seeds that were sown a long time ago, when you have two wars over a long period of time and many, many more, millions more veterans," she told reporters during her Thursday press briefing. "And so, I know that he is upset about it."
The Democratic leader never mentioned Bush by name, but she alluded to him early and often in the press briefing.
"Maybe when we go into war, we should be thinking about its consequences and its ramifications," Pelosi said while discussing the scandal. "You would think that would be a given, but maybe it wasn't. And so, we go in a war in Afghanistan, leave Afghanistan for Iraq with unfinished business in Afghanistan. Ten years later, we have all of these additional veterans. In the past five years, two million more veterans needing benefits from the VA. That's a huge, huge increase."
She suggested that Obamacare might hold the key to solving the problem. "We have the Affordable Care Act that is out there that is providing resources for more federally-qualified health clinics around the country," Pelosi said. "Maybe we should take a look at how we deal with our veterans' needs in a way that says let's help them closer to home, whether that's a federally qualified health clinic or in some other institution that provides health care closer to home. [It's] especially important for our veterans who live in rural areas."

Meanwhile in Australia:
"For the past week and a half, Australia has been talking about deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce's affair with his former staffer, Vikki Campion.
And then on Thursday afternoon, the prime minister made an announcement: the #bonkban was on.
After somberly announcing that the deputy PM had behaved extremely badly, "appalled all of us", and caused deep hurt to his family, Malcolm Turnbull went on to announce changes to the ministerial standards.
"I don't care whether they are married or single ... They must not have sexual relations with their staff," he said in an extraordinary press conference."
And that of course led to the Oz twitterati starting in.

Satire from The Borowitz Report: "Kushner Close to Obtaining Clearance for Other Government Facility"
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Just days after losing his top security clearance at the White House, Jared Kushner could soon be eligible to enter another high-security government facility, legal experts believe.
According to Davis Logsdon, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, Kushner could be on the verge of obtaining “long-term clearance” at this separate facility, which, like the White House, is owned and operated by the federal government.
Logsdon said that, although such a facility lacks some of the prestige of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Kushner would have access to government benefits there that far exceed what he has received as an unpaid adviser at the White House.
“All of his meals and housing would be fully paid for by the taxpayer,” Logsdon said. “And, if things play out the way some believe they will, Jared Kushner could be receiving these benefits for decades to come.”
While gaining entry to another government facility so soon after losing security clearance at the White House would represent an extraordinary comeback for Kushner, it would not come without a price, the law professor warned.
“Jared Kushner might have to put his plans to bring peace to the Middle East on hold,” he said.

March 27: "Chances are that someone left in the time it took to make this..."
March 28: "Fired Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin tells NPR's Morning Edition that political forces in the Trump administration want to privatize the VA — and that he was standing in the way.
'There are many political appointees in the VA that believe that we are moving in the wrong direction or weren't moving fast enough toward privatizing the VA,' he said. 'I think that it's essential for national security and for the country that we honor our commitment by having a strong VA. I was not against reforming VA, but I was against privatization.'
...Privatization has been the major issue at the department, and political appointees within the administration had been discussing removing Shulkin over the matter. Shulkin demurred from pointing a finger squarely at President Trump but described a VA riddled with political pressure and conflict.
Trump announced Wednesday (https://www.npr.org/2018/03/28/593831764/trump-to-replace-va-secretary-david-shulkin) that he was nominating his personal doctor, Rear Adm. Ronny L. Jackson, to replace Shulkin (https://www.npr.org/2018/03/29/597887384/trump-removes-only-holdover-from-obama-administration-from-his-cabinet). Until Jackson is confirmed by the Senate, Trump said, Robert Wilkie of the Department of Defense will serve as acting secretary of the VA."

Yes, he told a bunch of very young American citizens that they were at the "White House or building or whatever you want to call it". Then he bragged about how good the economy is. Then he bragged about how he was sending 700 million dollars to make the military "stronger than it's ever been before". Meanwhile the poor captive audience was just trying to get their Easter eggs.

How Trade Wars Work, according to The Onion (https://www.theonion.com/how-trade-wars-work-1825012677/amp):
STEP 1: Nation develops worldview centered on own unquestionable supremacy.
STEP 2: Some country’s leader isn’t given enough love in his youth and grows up mean, selfish, and in a constant search for adoration to fill the emptiness within him.
STEP 3: Devastating long-term financial repercussions weighed against benefits of a short-term political win.
STEP 4: Trade war formally declared when one nation sinks another’s shipping container.
STEP 5: Stock market reacts poorly, then positively, then poorly again, then however the hell it feels like reacting.
STEP 6: Nation’s consumers grapple with idea of buying products made by their incompetent fellow citizens.
STEP 7: Organized criminals begin illegally bootlegging soybeans into China.
STEP 8: Truce declared after one nation makes peace offering of one free bar of steel.
STEP 9: Trade war eventually settles down, and any resulting profits are absorbed into salaries of high-level executives.
STEP 10: You pay more for shittier things.

Btw. thanks to Trumpelstilsken and his incompetent goons the soybean prices and several other products prices are already falling in Europe. Same is very likely expected for steel soon. China can't export it to the US anymore, so they try to export more to Germany and Europe in general.
And since Germany takes steel and creates products of much higher value out of it, we can export cheaper and thus generate more profit. I'd asume for the US it is exactly the other way around. So sad!

That awkward moment when Fox "News" Channel tells the truth:
"Fox News ‘accidentally’ broadcast graphic showing they’re the least trusted news network" (http://metro.co.uk/2018/04/09/fox-news-accidentally-broadcast-graphic-showing-least-trusted-news-network-7452446)
Fox News have accidentally broadcast a graphic showing that they are the least trusted major news network. (https://metro.co.uk/video/fox-news-graphic-showing-theyre-trusted-1665544)
The broadcaster displayed the Monmouth University poll results during its Tight Shot show Sunday, with less than a third of Americans trusting it more than [the current occupant of the White House].
By comparison, almost half of Americans trusted CNN – the president’s most hated news source – more than him.
And 45 per cent of people questioned said they trusted CNBC more than the Commander-in-Chief.
The blunder appeared to spark minor panic in the studio, with presenter Howard Kurtz saying: ‘That is not the graphic we are looking for...Hold off. Take that down please.’
He had been expecting to see statistics showing that over three quarters of the public thought that the media reports ‘fake news’ ‘regularly or occasionally.’...However Kurtz later claimed it had always been his plan to share the graphic with viewers, and that it had only been broadcast too early.

"A Reddit user has turned Donald Trump Jr.’s emails into a folk song — yes, those emails. The ones in which Trump Jr. told Rob Goldstone during his father’s presidential campaign that he would "love it especially late in the summer" if Goldstone could indeed help him get intel on Hillary Clinton, courtesy of the Russian government.
The song, “I Love It (Especially Late in the Summer),” (https://soundcloud.com/spirit-giants/i-love-it-especially-later-in-the-summer) published last Wednesday by redditor spiritgiants, is a surprisingly catchy folk piece written for Song a Week, a subreddit community where the users write and record a song every week, usually but not necessarily related to a particular theme. Last week’s theme was satire.
The song draws on two emails sent by Trump Jr. The first, from June 3, contains the infamous “I love it” line referenced by the song’s title:
Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?
The other, from June 7, is where Trump Jr. outlines who from the Trump campaign will attend the meeting:
Great. It will likely be Paul Manafort (campaign boss) my brother in law and me, 725 Fifth Ave 25th floor.
In spiritgiants’ hands, these flip lines — which could potentially be used as evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia — become a soulful and mellow meditation on meeting up with a friend in the summer."

Yes this meme is astonishing for me as European. Not much of the Obama legislation was really "left" or "communist" how "left politics" is often referenced in the US. It was good, solid, liberal, even coservative, but always thoughtful legacy.

Certain people think that the words "leftist" or "socialist" are pejorative, when actually they're not. Such people have very little critical thinking ability and are more susceptible to being hoodwinked by "strongmen".
When the only measure of your "achievements" is destroying the "legacy" of your predecessor, despite the policies of your predecessor actually being beneficial to the majority of the citizens of the country...and when you take credit for the policies of your predecessor that are working (e.g. the economy) while not taking credit for your current policies that are wrecking the economy (e.g. the budget deficit)...then you not only have a problem, you are a problem.
This current "administration" proves one thing: it is by far easier to destroy than to build.

You know, with all the clear government tyranny on display in the "Crisis at the Border" (e.g. closing border crossings where immigrants can apply for amnesty, then arresting them for illegal entry when they try to ask for amnesty at another crossing), one wonders if there's a group of dedicated patriots who have sworn to use their rights as carved in stone in the Constitution to keep and bear arms for the sole purpose of fighting such tyranny....

That's the problem. Those that hoard those stock piles of fire arms are obviously not the real US patriots. They are the venom and cancer for the US.
Real patriots are different. They care about the country and that it also collaborates well with the world and partners.
It means that other countries and their people look on another nation and say, they do well and they are friendly. A real patriot is an ambassador for his nation.

"Let’s break down the president’s tweet and see how much of his commentary is rooted in reality vs. the politics of protecting his chief spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. As most everyone in the country already knows, Sanders was dining at the Red Hen in Lexington, Va. — not to be confused with the Red Hen in Washington (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/the-red-hen-review-au-courant-sips-and-pasta-that-never-slips/2015/10/02/bb3f6f12-68b6-11e5-9ef3-fde182507eac_story.html), which has been dragged into this losing battle (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2018/06/25/no-the-red-hen-in-d-c-didnt-ask-sarah-huckabee-sanders-to-leave-the-restaurant-is-getting-slammed-anyway/) — when owner Stephanie Wilkinson asked the press secretary to leave...

"We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace. Those who are insisting that we are in a special moment justifying incivility should think for a moment how many Americans might find their own special moment. How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?”

“How did any higher primate write this paragraph without coughing up a lung? How did any sentient mammal not red-pencil this paragraph into oblivion? How did Post truck drivers not save their employers severe embarrassment by tossing that entire day’s print run into the Potomac?
For the benefit of those people also living in [WaPo Opinion Editor] Fred Hiatt’s Land Without History: abortion providers have been stalked. Their children have been stalked. Their places of business have been vandalized. And, lest we forget, doctors who perform abortions have been fucking killed! They’ve been gunned down in their clinics, in their kitchens, and in their churches. They have not been allowed to live peaceably with their families, Fred, you addlepated Beltway thooleramawn. They haven’t been allowed to live at all. I’m no expert, but I’m fairly sure that a bullet in the head is far more uncivil than a complementary fucking cheese plate. What is wrong with these people?
I’m old enough to remember the raucous town halls of 2010, when the AstroTurfed forces of the Tea Party shouted down members of Congress while men with automatic weapons strolled around the perimeter of arenas in which the President of the United States was speaking. I’m old enough to remember when N. Leroy Gingrich, Definer of Civilization's Rules and Leader (Perhaps) of The Civilizing Forces, was working out his Universal Lexicography of Insult for the benefit of a party that ate it up with an entrenching tool. Newt also emerged on the electric Twitter machine over the weekend, leaping to SarahHuck’s defense, and that was nearly enough to make me give up English as a hobby...
This debate is stupid. It’s also dangerously beside the point. SarahHuck is the lying mouthpiece of a lying regime that is one step away from simply hauling people off in trucks. That she was politely told to take her business elsewhere is a small step towards assigning public responsibility to public officials that enable a perilous brand of politics. There are bigger steps to be taken, but everyone in official Washington is too damn timid to do what really needs to be done about this band of pirates.
So, Sarah, since I know it is hard for you (https://is.gd/p1razi) to understand even short sentences, I’ll put it as briefly as I can: Take a hike.”

So the Trump Regime is drafting a bill that would allow the president free reign to impose whatever tariffs he wants. Of course, we know it will only apply to Republican presidents.
Anyway, the draft bill is here (https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4568881/United-States-Fair-and-Reciprocal-Tariff-Act.pdf) for your perusal.
I would specifically like to point out the short title. What is the most logical acronym for the proposed Act?

I guesss this ...
"(8) The President of the United States should have a wide array of tools to open the markets of
U.S. trading partners and encourage participation in negotiations to liberalize trade in goods on a
fair and reciprocal basis, including the authority to adjust tariff rates to reciprocal levels."

The jokes write themselves.
"But then, "[f]earful that the documents might be used against AMI," as AP puts it, Pecker and Howard took all the Trump pecker stuff out of the official pecker protector (safe, we mean safe), and now Trump's pecker is completely unprotected by the pecker protector. AP reports that nobody knows whether they burned Trump's pecker secrets, or whether they just put them somewhere a little more protector-y, like maybe in the garage.
"This is wild, because remember that Cohen tape? The one where Michael Cohen and Donald Trump were discussing buying back the rights to some of Trump's pecker secrets, just in case Trump's Pecker (David Pecker, that is) got thrown under Duncan Hunter's wife's bus? Well turns out there's a bunch of other Trump pecker secrets out there, just dangling around! (Unless they burned Trump's other pecker secrets.)

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: "Are Social Media Companies Really Silencing Conservatives? " (https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Jhcsem-IrY)
From the comments section of the video:
"Conservatives complain about 'others shoving their values onto them' but they have no problem doing that to others."
"Conservatives are like Freud's wet dream. They're out to get everyone that disagrees with them, so naturally they're paranoid that everyone else is just like them. The accuser is most often the doer ~ It just took American politics to validate Freud~"
"From a european POV they aren't silencing conservatives per se, they are shutting down conspiracy theorists and racist hate groups. That all of those happen to be conservatives just shows whats wrong with the modern american right wing, not whats wrong with social media"
and
"The right are all soooo tough they came up with the term snowflake to describe how everyone else just melts under pressure. Now they're in charge. They control the whole damn government. And it's just one long cry about how everyone is picking on them, and Trump can't get 'fair' coverage from anyone but Fox, and they get booed at restaurants, and they can't get laid if they work in the White House. Thoughts and prayers guys."

Yet another emission that has not aged well.
"Members of the United Nations‘ General Assembly have laughed at Donald Trump after he told them his administration had 'accomplished more than almost any ... in the history of our country'.
'One year ago I stood before you for the first time in this grand hall. I addressed the threats facing our world, and I presented a vision to achieve a brighter future for all of humanity,' Mr Trump, who has frequently claimed the US is laughed at internationally for weak international policies, said. 'Today I stand before the United Nations General Assembly to share the extraordinary progress we’ve made. In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,' Mr Trump continued, eliciting a rumbling from the hall in New York City. (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-un-speech-laugh-video-us-president-history-achieve-administration-general-assembly-a8554506.html) 'America’s… So true.'
Mr Trump smiled at the interruption, before commenting on it.
'I didn’t expect that reaction but that’s okay,' he said...
John Pitney, professor of political science at Claremont McKenna College, said on CTV Vancouver that his speech before the UN General Assembly "literally made the United States a laughing stock today." (https://bc.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1498653)

oh yes thanks. It shows how simply facist and racist propaganda actually works. It needs some dumb people to actually sit down with that guy and get manipulated into downright self- humiliation.

Dear moderators!
I officially request to call republicans and their minions Nazis. Obviously here in this thread and in the other one with 'I love communism' is someone who wants to go back to before the moderator decisions and so want I! Same weapons for everyone!
-
I think I'll rescind my earlier ban on blanket attacks on political groups, as long as people avoid personal attacks. Calling Republicans Nazis has a little justification -- apparently Nazis in America do support the Republican party -- but that does not mean that all Republicans or Trump fans are Nazis. It is not as preposterous as calling all Democrats communists, which has no justification at all. But at present there's no rule against making silly or absurd statements. I'll have to consult other mods about whether there should be.
I just point out that such blanket insults are of no value, and are even counterproductive. No one is going to think "Gee, if some people say that about me, I'd better change." It's quite a different matter from presenting facts and considered opinions.

Oh wow! I was confuse on the "I love communism!" I thought it was Trump and his supporter that is budding up with Putin, so how did anyone link the democrats with loving Communism?

A joke is well played if there were some truth to it and twisted a bit into satire for it to be funny. There has to be an element that ties the joke to what actually happen. That is why the so called joke fell flat. It has nothing to do with having a sense of humor, but more to do with a faceless attack on whatever it is that it was intending to attack. Pretty much the same of calling people names
This is why the half hour comedy show with Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter was canceled because they did not understand comedy but only knows insult, while the rest of us was left wondering What dafuq?
I honestly don't see how the Kavanaugh protest turn into a occupy movement with the face mask on. The intent seems to be lost going to many different places and not tied down to anything concrete.

I honestly don't see how the Kavanaugh protest turn into a occupy movement with the face mask on. The intent seems to be lost going to many different places and not tied down to anything concrete.
To sum it up in short, it is the primitive way of jokes as it is the primitive way of life Trump and his conservative goons, that frequently are nazis, do have.
-
A joke is well played if there were some truth to it and twisted a bit into satire for it to be funny. There has to be an element that ties the joke to what actually happen. That is why the so called joke fell flat. It has nothing to do with having a sense of humor, but more to do with a faceless attack on whatever it is that it was intending to attack. Pretty much the same of calling people names

Hm, you may have a point in what I underlined. I remember when Late Night Comedy Shows focused more on comedy, now theyre just political monologues that are filled with name calling and insults. Youre right about that.
But that Kavanaugh protest thing was not turned into some occupy movement with the face.

I notice much of what you post is a right wing bubble news, isolated bubble that only pertain to the right wingers that rely on for an example FOXnews, so all jokes and humor would be base on that channel. Which I don't watch, and because I don't I wouldn't get any of the right wing jokes. I guess the same could be said that if you don't watch real news base on investigative journalist, and not on entertainment, then all those late nite talk show political humor would mean nothing to you as well.

OK, this whole thing is just TOO FUNNY.
So this guy, a pro-Trump conspiracy nut named Jacob Wahl, tweets out earlier this week that there's going to be some BREAKING NEWS about the Mueller Investigation, but he doesn't say what.
Real journalists had already been aware of the story. Seems another guy, Jack Burkman, a known GOP "trickster", had been trying to pay women to say they were sexually assaulted by Robert Mueller...!
And real journalists had been in touch with some of these women, who confirmed the story, and said they told the loser offering them $$ to shove it up where the sun don't shine. Other "incidents" of assault are easily disproven; one was supposed to have occurred on a weekday when Mueller was busy being FBI Director (seriously, you think someone in that position would ever get to have "alone time" with a random woman? Someone in the agency, perhaps, but an ordinary citizen?)
That hasn't stopped Burkman, who says on his Twitter account that this time he's got someone who really really was assaulted by Mueller! For reals! And he's going to TELL ALL later this week!!
Now, what's the connection with Jacob Wahl? It seems that the guy going around trying to pay women to lie worked for a company called Surefire Intelligence ("a private intel agency that designs and executes bespoke solutions for businesses and individuals who face complex business and litigation challenges," according to the company's website), which, as Internet Sleuth Aric Toler found out by checking the DNS records, had its website set up by......Jacob Wahl!
Toler also poked around their website, and found that quite a few interesting people work for them. Face shots of key employees belong to British model/photographer Nick Hopper, film director Jim Simpson, and actor Christoph Waltz!
One of the phone numbers listed for the company belongs to Wahl's Mom!
Needless to say, Wahl is whining about it all. While some RWNJ websites are treating the story are FOR REALZ, others find it too stupid even for them.

"I surround myself with the best people. I know the best people."
-- from a November 1999 interview
"But I think we’re going to see some tremendous talent, tremendous talent coming in. We have many people for every job. I mean no matter what the job is, we have many incredible people. I think, Reince, you can sort of just confirm that. The quality of the people is very good. ... We’re trying very hard to get the best people. Not necessarily people that will be the most politically correct people, because that hasn’t been working. So we have really experts in the field. Some are known and some are not known, but they’re known within their field as being the best. That’s very important to me."

Rudolph Giuliani is this current regime's "cybersecurity adviser".
He tweeted the following:
“Mueller filed an indictment just as the President left for G-20.In July he indicted the Russians who will never come here just before he left for Helsinki.Either could have been done earlier or later. Out of control!Supervision please?”
and then, later:
“Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message. The same thing-period no space-occured later and it didn’t happen. Don’t tell me they are not committed cardcarrying anti-Trumpers. Time Magazine also may fit that description. FAIRNESS PLEASE”
See, in the first quote, Rudy (who somehow is as illiterate as his boss is) didn't put a space between the period that came after "G-20" and before the first word of the following sentence ("In"). He repeated that illiteracy by not putting a space between the period that came after "Helsinki" and before the first word of the following sentence ("Either"). No one "invaded" his "text" with anything. (It wasn't a text, it was a tweet.)
But even worse, this numbnut didn't realize that while ".either" is not a top-level domain (TLD), ".in" is. That is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for India. Which means that "G-20.in" is a valid web address. You'll never guess what happens when you go to that URL (http://g-20.in/).
I repeat: Rudolph Giuliani is this current regime's "cybersecurity adviser".

By the way. The no space after the "." is most likely happening due to the fact that it was typed on a mobile device. Now tell me, how often does a hacker use a mobile device to invade someones account ... well they try to hide their traces. So it could be intentionally be done that way.

GOP-Controlled Wisconsin Legislature Votes To Dissolve State Rather Than Let Democrats Have It - The Onion
MADISON, WI—Passing the measure along party lines, the GOP-controlled Wisconsin legislature voted Tuesday to dissolve the 30th state admitted to the union rather than let governor-elect Tony Evers and other members of the Democratic Party have it. “This essential legislation officially dismantles the State of Wisconsin, thereby ensuring Democrats, who won every statewide executive office on the ballot last month, will have no legal authority within its borders,” said Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, explaining that it would be reckless to honor the fair election of Democrats to the state’s executive branch and far preferable for Wisconsin to cease existing and become instead a lawless wasteland of snow and ice. “While we cherish the past 170 years of statehood, there is simply too much at stake right now to allow the clear will of the people expressed at the polls to ruin Wisconsin by putting Democrats into positions such as governor and attorney general.” At press time, the Republican-led legislature had passed a follow-up resolution naming outgoing Governor Scott Walker the Eternal God-King of the former state of Wisconsin.

Democrats erupt into laughter after Google CEO has to explain to white nationalist/racist Rep. Steve King that the 'iPhone is made by a different company' (https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-king-asks-google-ceo-iphone-democrats-laugh-2018-12)
At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was asked some difficult questions. None was more difficult than a question asked by Iowa Rep. Steve King, however, whose question was literally impossible for Pichai to answer.
King said his 7-year-old granddaughter was playing a game on her phone before an election — most likely King's November 2018 reelection bid — and was shown a picture of the congressman that included some not-so-flattering language.
"I'm not going to say into the record what kind of language was used around that picture of her grandfather," he said.
Then, holding up his Apple device, King asked Pichai, "How does that show up on a 7-year-old's iPhone who's playing a kids game?"
The Google CEO answered the question by saying, "Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company."
The Democratic staff table erupted in laughter at Pichai's reply, according to Business Insider's Joe Perticone, who attended Tuesday's hearing.
King backtracked and said, "It might have been an Android. It's just … it was a hand-me-down of some kind."
Later in the hearing, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-California) told the Iowa congressman that if he wanted "positive search results, do positive things." King has repeatedly found himself in hot water over his insensitive racial comments.

L: The feeling when you've just got El Presidente to say on LIVE NATIONAL TV that he'll take all the credit/blame for a government shutdown in two weeks when he doesn't get to have his "Border Wall"....
R: The feeling when (after giving him more than one chance to take the meeting private) you got El Presidente to basically PWN HIMSELF on LIVE NATIONAL TV.....
And El Presidente threw a tantrum afterwards:
“He stormed out of the Oval, walked into an anteroom just off the Oval Office and had in his hand a folder of briefing papers. And he just scattered them out of frustration — threw them across the room," Stokols said on MSNBC's "Hardball," citing his own reporting with White House officials.

So in former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's new book, he mentions that Justice Dept. officials discussed working with the Cabinet about the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment. You know, the one that allows for a president to be temporarily declared unfit for duty (nominally for being physically incapacitated).
This morning, El Presidente Tweeted that invoking that was "an unconstitutional power grab".
Yep, he thinks the Constitution is unconstitutional.

So, what did we learn this week?
According to Richard Hine (on Tw1tt3r):
"Democrats: We are concerned that the President may have committed treason, bank fraud, tax fraud, charity fraud, laundered money for Russian mobsters and may have committed campaign finance violations.
"Republicans: We are worried that Michael Cohen might get a book deal.

CNN, July 18, 2015: "Trump believes in God, but hasn't sought forgiveness" (https://www.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/trump-has-never-sought-forgiveness/index.html)
...Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.
"I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."
Trump said that while he hasn't asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion...
You don't bring God into the picture when it comes to seeking forgiveness? He may want to go back and read more than just "two Corinthians" (https://www.youtube.com/embed/8EIgHsGZAmk).

Menezes explains, “Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy.”

It's one thing to run out of ugly female liberals to make a case for conservative women vs Liberal women.
But seriously? Leanne Crow was the first thing on your mind when you look at Micheal Moore? That is a very sad indeed! Do you feel like coming out? I will support you if you decide to do so. No need to inflict others with your confusion. Least of all Leanne Crow! She is a sweetie and lots of fun!

Its one thing to run out of ways to defend liberals.
But seriously? You couldnt comprehend a silly joke that was just further implying Michael Moore as a woman and couldnt comprehend that I used Leanne as merely an example of the SIZE of her chest and nothing to do with looks? That is very sad indeed!
No wonder. If liberals cannot comprehend a measly little silly joke, how in the blue hell do we expect them to comprehend something as complex as politics!
Its gonna be a long 5 years....

I never said anything about her looks! The fact that you brought it up, seems to me you are investing more into it trying to defend yourself that it was the first thing that came out of your mind when making the comparison size or looks, either way you want to present it. You could have use any number of things to make the comparison, but instead use a sexy woman to Micheal Moore. I think you need to face it and be over with it. Sometimes a joke has a underlining truth when it raises an eyebrow. Humor has a way of hiding pain underneath.

Yeah of course you believe that. I mean.... "accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of" is a classic tactic.
Liberal, leftist, far left:
-support political correctness
-support safe spaces
-everything they disagree with is sexist, racist, homophobic, nazi
-gets offended extremely easily
-accuses dissenting views as hate speech therefore justifies censorship
But youre trying to say the far left have a better sense of humor? :o
There is a reason why "the left cant meme" was a thing.

It was just an image depicting what an echo chamber is. You understood it right? Your response kind of reaffirms that the far left clearly have a weak sense of humor. Instead of rebutting all or any of the reasons I listed why, you just, in your own way, said "thats not funny!" as a rebuttal.

Oh wow, you took a picture of her breaking down and crying at the children concentration camp to make a political funny?!?!?
That's Harsh! Man!

Making a joke out of a grieving mother supposedly crying because she can't get a chicken filet? Harsh is not strong enough. That is despicable, contemptible and heartless. I hope not all conservatives fit that description. Though I can think of a high-placed one who does. :-X

P.S.
That's not a grieving mother, that AOC pandering at the border in a staged photo op. I thought this was the funny politic thread?
Meanwhile, Joe Biden was there for support.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow?!?!? so even after a moderator tells you to mock a person grieving for the sake of the children, you decide to double down on the appalling depiction! Tells me how much hate you have inside you! Being heartless is not funny but very sad! At first I thought maybe you grab a meme from a NAZI site or something. But your doubling down on it, tells me that it might as well be you as you are so proud of the moment to display this.

My thought exactly! send the serious stuff over there. Not here! Try again!
Its not a funny meme to mock and ridicule inhumane treatment of those that can't defend themselves. Most people don't think holding those that depend on adults to care for them be abuse at a concentration camp. There a reason why we cant show them on this site, because adults that run this site protect those that cant protect themselves leave it to the adults. I am not weaponizing the mod, my attention is to make you understand that this joy that you have to mock these immigrants that made it past the many obstacle to seek safety are now in the hands of the abuser of those that are remnants of the NAZI wanting to treat them like rats, and that doesn't make me laugh, but makes me frighten that you are capable of doing that. Make fun of AOC and have at it, but to mock her grieving, which millions are now grieving over the death of these immigrants at the hands of the ICE is very sad indeed. My sister sent a package of $700 dollars worth of soap and tooth brush, got it sent back that the govt refuse to accept them at the border camp. For which our harden criminals at the prison system have access to. So please try to be funny, and laugh with joy, and find humor in this. Because I can't!

OK, so it's a meme. By all means mock and attack AOC, call her stupid, conniving or hypocritical -- in the serious politics thread. But the theme in this case is that children are suffering and mothers are grieving along the southern US border: that is undeniable, whether someone is grandstanding or not (see most recent case in Clint TX). And that's not funny or deserving of mockery and doesn't belong here or anywhere. I'm removing the attachments: anybody interested has surely already seen them.
And btw, 3deroticer did not contact me about this: I have my own opinions.
-
Just so we're on the same page, nobody is mocking the crisis at the border. The memes were about AOC going to the border, staging a photo op with her fake crocodile tears, wearing all white with her 1K designer watch. Did you see what was on the other side of the fence? An empty parking lot, lol. You literally cannot make this stuff up. But hey, do what you gotta do Prof.

Something happened to the T and the I, and I do not like it. It looks as though someone was cutting one of them out by hand and made a slight mistake, then trimmed the other one to match. The 2020 looks uncertain as to whether it is supposed to come in yet. The letters are so good! Why would you choose this font?

A few samples:
Dearest Martha, please find enclosed a tracking number for my lost luggage at Philadelphia. It shall arrive to Mount Vernon via carriage in 21-25 days. Also enclosed is a receipt for the cost of parking my horse at Dulles for the weekend.
Dearest Jebediah, Our flight has been delayed again. Waiting on the tarmac, our supplies of honey roasted peanuts and Fresca are almost depleted. We are talking about rebellion against first class. Please tell the children I love them.
Dearest Gertrude, Our flying carriage was somehow bookethed over, and we were forced to seek transportation at a later date. However, all is not lost. We received 500 shillings and a free stay at the local boarding house. We shall be victorious.
Beloved, ‘‘tis been a harrowing journey. Due to meager funds we had to use the flying carriage names Frontier. Our carriage was tardy due to difficulties with maintenance. Upon arrival at Yorktown, the “House of Cinnabon” was shuttered.
Dear John, I must caution you most strongly about leading your men to Valley Forge via Atlanta. You will surely sustain delays in navigating this quagmire. We have secured Charlotte which offers safe passage directly to Philadelphia. Love, Jane

Funny thing is that this year doctor have now list congenital Kidney disease as a heart disease. The heart is the most effected with poor blood cleaning of the kidney. Those with kidney renal failure leads heart failure.
When I had my tunor remove from my kidney, and left with 2/3 of one kidney, one of the doctor roaming across the hall told me that I will most likely die from a heart attack. My doctor was not happy that a roaming doctor that had no business telling me anything. he assure me that I had enough of a kidney to survive old age. But since then I kept my ears open and when I hear that some died from a heart attack, i find it interesting that they led a life that could have damage their kidney or had a history of kidney issues.
My kidney been stable since the surgery in Dec 2004

Democratic Party Now Selling Official Riot Supplies
The official web store of the Democratic Party announced a slew of new products Thursday geared toward helping left-leaning voters incite riots and mob people they disagree with in public places. The Democratic National Committee proudly announced the varied offerings, including pitchforks, medieval torches, throwing rocks, and more.
Democrats promised a new selection of gear will be added to the shop every week, from homemade explosive devices to spears, and even a miniature trebuchet for launching yourself to tackle any Republican official you see enjoying a quiet meal.

"Thanks to the anonymity of the internet, white male victimization is particularly rampant online on Twitter, Reddit threads, and comments sections, which can probably be best summed up by Twitter user and self-proclaimed intersectional feminist @Xlayre, who went viral last week with the following observation.
'The clitoris has 8,000 nerve endings and still isn’t as sensitive as a white man on the Internet,' she not inaccurately tweeted.
As the tweet spread like wildfire, it didn’t take long for Piers Morgan to weigh in with a predictably ghastly take of his own. Within 24 hours, the professional troll fired back, claiming that he would be 'banned from Twitter and fired for racist toxic masculinity' if he were to turn the tables and make the same statement from a white man’s point of view.
'The penis has 8,000 nerve endings too, but if I said 'it still isn’t as sensitive as a black woman on the Internet' - I'd be banned from Twitter & fired for racist toxic masculinity. Why is racist toxic feminism - like this tweet below - any more acceptable?...'
Aside from the fact that Morgan was incorrect in his basic claim about the nerve endings in a penis (the glans of a penis has half the nerve endings of a clitoris, but what are facts?), he also essentially proved her point.
God forbid Piers Morgan of all people to be able to take a good, hard look at himself without jumping the gun and lashing out at a stranger on the internet for hurting his feelings...."
Or as I have also seen it rendered:
"The clitoris has around 8000 nerve endings and it's still not as sensitive as a conservative man on the internet." (https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/clitoris-has-8000-nerve-endings-meme/)

To the tune of "Send In The Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim:
Is he that rich?
Maybe he’s poor?
Till he reveals his returns
Who can be sure?
Who needs this clown?
Something’s amiss
I don’t approve
If he were running the free world
Where would we move?
Name me a town
Just who is this clown?
And when we thought we’d heard it all
Huffing and puffing about his big fantasy wall
Making his en tra nce on stage
He just shoots from the hip
He’s full of bull
He’s lost his grip
And if by chance
He gets to heaven
Even up there he’ll declare
Chapter 11
Who’d hire this clown?
This sad vulgar clown
“You’re fired!” you clown.

Meanwhile at the Democratic Socialist Convention.... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdQ4vqCWYTw)
A bunch of extremely over sensitive people, the future of the Democratic party. Self proclaimed "democratic socialists."
Things spoken at this convention:
"avoid hissing"
"no aggressive scents"
"...comrade" "...comrade"
At one point (1:50 in video) a guy goes up to the podium and complains about the whispering chatter. Claims he is sensitive to it and it triggers his sensory overload. An average person cannot even tell if this is a parody or not, if the guy went up there and said those things as a troll. Even if he did though, people in the audience agree with him with their finger waving, because "no clapping."
What a joke.

Was President Barack Obama a perfect President, or a perfect human being? Of course not. He made numerous mistakes during his eight years in office, not least of which was his negligence in not going against mitch mcconnell and telling the world about Russian electoral interference in 2016. But by every objective measure, President Barack Obama is superior to the current occupant of the Oval.

If youre a Democrat, dont worry, you can say whatever you want. The media has your back! They will tell their gullible viewers that is was a "gaffe!"
If youre a conservative however, you have to watch what you say because any teensy weensy tiny little comment like "ms-13 are animals" will turn into this gigantic thing and will get taken out of context by the media and they tell their gullible viewers that you just said "all immigrants, all non white people are animals."
Right Joe?

Funny how when Biden makes a slip of the tongue, it's always a sign that he is unfit to be president.

The Babylon Bee: "Survey Finds More People Would Support Impeachment If They Knew What Crime Trump Was Supposed To Have Committed" (https://babylonbee.com/news/study-finds-more-people-would-support-impeachment-if-anyone-had-the-slightest-idea-what-crime-trump-is-supposed-to-have-committed)
U.S.—A new study found that support for impeaching President Trump would rise significantly if someone, anyone could just tell people what crime Trump is supposed to have committed.
Republicans and many independents are stubbornly resisting the impeachment inquiry, as though you have to have some kind of reason to impeach the president. Democrats oppose this logic, saying that impeaching a president who insists on being Trump is a constitutional duty. Many Americans are just kind of confused by the whole thing and are waiting for something more interesting to come on TV.
"Impeachment is polling pretty strong just goin' on emotion and stuff," said one pollster, "but man, if we could point to some kind of impeachable offense, the numbers would go way, way up. We're talking very strong support once there is a crime to impeach for."
"Man, if we could just find that Trump, like, secretly nuked Canada or something---that would be the smoking gun," he added wistfully.
A small minority of Americans said they would support Trump even if there ends up being a clear, blatant high crime exposed, though this demographic was almost entirely made up of televangelists and Seb Gorka.

Republican: "Oh no, he clarified it and you fake news media are just taking what he said out of context."
Normal person: "What context?! Here he is on live TV saying it! And here he is telling us to get over it!"
Republican: "Well, what are you going to believe: us, or your lying eyes? Besides, unless we say so, it's not true."
Normal person: (facepalms)
About half the time even I have to look it up to see if the crazy things they say and do is real! I would not believe most of the stuff by hearsay and just astonish when its actually true !
I feel that if they say it out in the open they would normalize it and pretend its not illegal.

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis laughed off the news that President Trump had called him “the world’s most overrated general,” joking that he’s not just an overrated general, but the “greatest, the world’s most overrated” general, during his keynote address Thursday at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York.
“He also called Meryl Streep an overrated actress, so I guess I’m the Meryl Streep of generals,” Mattis riffed at the philanthropic event, in which roasts are tradition. He went on to remark that he’s not bothered: “I’ve earned my spurs on the battlefield ... and Donald Trump earned his spurs in a letter from a doctor.” (https://cnn.it/31uCX4l)

Yep I called Trump the "N" word and paid the consequences for it, but at the national baseball game my sentiment seems to be very popular these days. However, I will recognize that Trump is a highly value honorary member of the BEA, and try to abide by the rules to not call him names again or make comment about his type of speech.

The Impeachment Hearings are going live on TV this week.
Should be fun watching the various Trumpists in Congress trying to come up with excuses for El Presidente's extortion.
We've already seen "Sondland, Giuliani, and Mulvaney were acting on their own, and not on Trump's instructions". And "It's OK if Trump didn't believe he was doing anything wrong". And "He didn't say anything in the phone call that he didn't say in public, so it cannot possibly be a crime". And "It's all invalid and unverified unless and until we know who the Whistleblower is". And "Really, what was Hunter Biden doing for Burisma anyway? That's where the real crime is".
Seriously. They're desperate.
Let's hope there are enough sane Americans left to start making life difficult for Republicans in Congress.

Crooks & Liars: "Conservative Group Fires Michelle Malkin For Being Too Racist" (https://crooksandliars.com/2019/11/yaf-fires-michelle-malkin-being-too-racist)
Oh, yeah, I forgot she loves The Proud Boys, too! What a winner.
According to The Daily Beast:
"A conservative group cut ties with right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin on Sunday over her support for an anti-Semitic internet personality, ramping up a growing conservative civil war centered on college campuses.
Malkin’s firing from Young America’s Foundation, whose speakers bureau had booked Malkin for speeches across the country for the past 17 years, marks the latest battle between supporters of Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and more establishment conservative figures."
Aww. So the racist GOP is fighting with an even racist-er GOP. The alt-right vs. the alt-rightier. They can all eat each other alive and the world would be better off. Until then, Malkin is out of a job, until Trump hires her or appoints her to a judicial position.
This actually did not happen:

FastCompany: "Donald Trump’s Crazy Handwriting Is Now A Free Font Called Tiny Hand" (https://www.fastcompany.com/3064790/donald-trumps-crazy-handwriting-is-now-a-free-font-called-tiny-hand)
Tiny Hand could be the huckster’s Helvetica.
Although he’s known for his incessant tweeting, an interesting fact about Donald Trump is that he doesn’t really use computers (http://gizmodo.com/has-donald-trump-ever-used-a-computer-1762376695) outside of his iPhone. Although he aspires to lead the most technologically progressive nation on Earth, the Republican presidential hopeful has admitted he didn’t own a computer until 2007. (http://theweek.com/speedreads/568887/donald-trump-didnt-computer-until-2007-doesnt-really-email-thing) Heck, the only proof he has ever used a computer is this photo of him sitting in front of a Mac from July [2016] (http://motherboard.vice.com/read/here-is-the-first-known-photo-of-donald-trump-using-a-computer)… and even then, Trump looks like he’s going to try to prod the screen with one of his granule-sized fingers.
But that’s not to say that Trump doesn’t read what’s written about him on the internet. He does. His assistants laboriously print out articles on him, like this one from Vanity Fair (http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2011/04/donald-trump-letter-201104), which he then covers in crazily scrawled editorial notes, such as “BAD WRITER!”, “BAD PICTURE (NO SURPRISE)” and “OH REALLY!”
For a recent satirical article, which purported itself to be Trump’s own handwritten notes from the second debate (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jameshannaham/an-exclusive-and-completely-factual-snapshot-of-donald-trump), BuzzFeed decided to go the extra yard and task Mark Davis, a graphic designer at BuzzFeed and Font Bureau, to recreate The Donald’s handwriting as a custom font, which it’s calling Tiny Hand. Even better? It’s now available for free download here... (https://www.buzzfeed.com/benking/tiny-hand-will-be-your-new-comic-sans?utm_term=.hgrByN3AY#.ej9Mp8OlY)
So what does Tiny Hand, and by extension, Donald’s Trump’s handwriting look like? Like everything else about the GOP nominee, who in both head shape and hue closely resemble a citric Gusher’s advertising mascot sprung to life (https://www.youtube.com/embed/cr0nU1e6wjI), it defies easy categorization. Imagine a sociopathic, sexually ravenous Walt Disney with hands the size of a GI Joe action figure, frantically etching away with a Sharpie Magnum (http://phantomediclonius.deviantart.com/art/BIG-ASS-MARKER-185864139), and you’ll have something of the feel of the font.
So what’s Tiny Hand good for, as a font? Where to even start.
You could use it as part of an internet meme generator, pairing any one of the candidate’s eccentric tweets with this photograph (http://buzzkix.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/8577e5de-c91c-42e9-8d02-343b96221b3c.jpg) of Trump over-pronouncing a fricative. Passive-aggressive Post-Its left all around the house, accusing your roommates of not having the stamina to do dishes, or criticizing the way they vacuumed the living room: “Sad!” Heck, if you really wanted to be like The Donald (http://www.mediaite.com/online/donald-trump-told-a-young-girl-hed-be-dating-her-in-10-years), you could use Tiny Hand to design coupons to distribute to the young girls in your neighborhood, redeemable on the holder’s 18th birthday for an overnight stay at any state route hotel room.

Did 3 Democrats already signal a NO vote on the sham impeachment?
-
So almost immediately after the Articles of Impeachment were announced, El Presidente's campaign team came out with a little video clip of him as Thanos snapping his fingers and turning the House Democrat leaders into dust.
It was very quickly pointed out that:
1. Thanos was a tyrant who wanted to kill half of the people in the universe, and
2. The clip they stole was from the end of Avengers: Endgame, where Thanos had just been defeated.
So in a way, El Presidente really is Thanos..... and we all know who Iron Man is in this scenario....

Sorry but in this case I truly hope that in this situation Iron Man is someone else.
Her fingers may be so arthritic that she can't snap.

BBC, 19 December 2019: "US government lists fictional nation Wakanda as trade partner" (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50849559)
The US Department of Agriculture listed Wakanda as a free-trade partner - despite it being a fictional country.
A USDA spokesperson said the Kingdom of Wakanda was added to the list by accident during a staff test.
The department's online tariff tracker hosted a detailed list of goods the two nations apparently traded, including ducks, donkeys and dairy cows.
In the Marvel universe, Wakanda is the fictional East African home country of superhero Black Panther.
The fictional country was removed soon from the list after US media first queried it, prompting jokes that the countries had started a trade war.
Wakanda first appeared in the Fantastic Four comic in 1966, and made a reappearance when Black Panther was adapted into an Oscar-winning film last year.
The unusual listing was spotted by Francis Tseng, a New York-based software engineer who was looking up agricultural tariffs for a fellowship he was applying for. (https://twitter.com/frnsys/status/1207316829481385984)
He told Reuters news agency that, when he first saw Wakanda on the list, he got "very confused [and] thought I misremembered the country from the movie and got it confused with something else."
After the listing was removed, a USDA spokesman told the Washington Post that Wakanda's listing was added as a test file for staff, and was never supposed to be public. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/18/no-wakanda-is-not-trumps-next-tariff-target-despite-being-removed-us-free-trade-list/)
"The Wakanda information should have been removed after testing and has now been taken down," he said.
After its removal, an Orlando-based reporter asked: "So do we, or do we not have free trade with Wakanda? Also where are things at on negotiations with Agrabah?"

"I don't agree with our president on most things, but we share a love of poetry. That's why I'm troubled by the know-nothing response to Trump's latest verse, an elegiac meditation on wind and mortality. Don't we want our leaders to step away from the concerns of the moment every now and then, to consider timeless matters? It's really quite a lovely effort--easily the best poem by a president in the last fifty years." -- Jeff Sharlet
[Verbatim from the White House transcript.]
You Want to See A Bird Graveyard?
By D. Trump
I never understood wind.
You know, I know
windmills very much.
I have studied it
better than anybody
else. It’s very expensive.
They are made in China
and Germany mostly.
—Very few made here, almost none,
but they are manufactured, tremendous
—if you are into this—
tremendous fumes. Gases are
spewing into the atmosphere. You know
we have a world
right?
So the world
is tiny
compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous
amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about
the carbon footprint
— fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China,
Germany, it’s going into the air.
It’s our air
their air
everything — right?
A windmill will kill many bald eagles.
After a certain number
they make you turn the windmill off.
That is true.
—By the way
they make you turn it off.
And yet, if you killed one
they put you in jail.
That is OK.
You want to see a bird graveyard?
You just go.
Take a look.
A bird graveyard.
Go under a windmill someday,
you’ll see
more birds
than you’ve ever seen
in your life.

The Babylon Bee: "El Paso Man Comes Down From Insane Acid Trip Where He Hallucinated That He Ran For President" (https://babylonbee.com/news/el-paso-man-comes-down-from-insane-acid-trip-where-he-ran-for-president)
EL PASO, TX—An El Paso man reportedly came down from a "totally crazy" acid trip where he hallucinated that he ran for president.
"People were calling me 'Beto' for some reason, the press was treating me like a serious candidate. It was totally wild," he told reporters. "Oh man, I thought I said a bunch of insane shit about dismantling the Constitution and stealing everybody's guns. And the left was just eating it up."
The man said he has a vague memory of hallucinating about how the press called him the next Obama and published glowing editorials about him. He also said a large part of the trip was just him saying the "F" word over and over again to appear hip and cool. "I'm glad that was just a bad trip and not something that really happened. That would have been totally embarrassing."
"Everyone, remember -- drugs are bad. Stay away from the hard stuff."
Coincidentally, at the same time, the rest of the nation also woke up from a bad dream where the same guy ran for president.

Here is another poem:
Hairy Legs
By J. Biden
And by the way
I sit on a stand,
I got hot, I got hairy legs
that turn, that, that, that,
turn blonde in the sun.
And the k!ds used to come up
and reach in
and pull
and rub my legs,
and watch the hairs rise up again.
So I learned about roaches.
I learned about k!ds
jumping up on my lap.
And I love k!ds jumping
on my lap.

Responses like this can only be one of two things. Either:
1. Trolling.
or
2. Someone is so enclosed in their own bubble and are not willing to see anything that challenges their opinions, not even look at something thats right in their face. Someone who only sees what they want to see, someone who hears only what they want to hear. Proving that they are not capable of having a rational and logical debate because all they see is what they choose to see even though the reality is right there staring them in the face.

You want to stay away from clearly partisan news sources -- and no, CNN is not in that category (https://www.businessinsider.com/most-biased-news-outlets-in-america-cnn-fox-nytimes-2018-8), despite what certain rabidly-right-wing people may have to say. Any "news" organization that is essentially state-run TV should be avoided. Yes, MSNBC does lean left (https://www.allsides.com/news-source/msnbc), but because (unless Faux) they do try to separate their news programs from their opinion programs, when it comes to reporting on what is actually going on, with facts and proper citations, they are a good source of news and information. Not a perfect source -- no one is perfect -- but a good one. Especially when it comes to easily verifiable things that happened right in front of all of us, like whether or not it rained in Washington DC on January 20, 2017 (https://www.usnews.com/opinion/thomas-jefferson-street/articles/2017-01-23/donald-trumps-inauguration-lies-and-sean-spicers-alternative-facts) (it did (https://weather.com/news/weather/news/inauguration-weather-forecast-2017-washington)) or the size of the crowd (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/us/politics/president-trump-inauguration-crowd-white-house.html) at a particular location on that day, or things which were captured on tape. (https://www.vox.com/2018/5/30/17380096/fox-news-alternate-reality-charts)
The negative effects (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/05/21/many-are-worried-about-the-return-of-the-big-lie-theyre-worried-about-the-wrong-thing/) of a continuous (https://youtu.be/b-cZG81-MPQ) stream (https://youtu.be/S9VeNB5ili8) of propaganda (https://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2017/11/10_conspiracy_theories_that_tu.html) on the citizenry of a representative democratic republic are well known. (https://www.facinghistory.org/holocaust-and-human-behavior/chapter-6/visual-essay-impact-propaganda) So you want to stay away from sources like Faux News, One America News (OAN), Sinclair, etc. and not only because they are so right-leaning that they are essentially "state-run TV" at this point. If one has a slant, one should be upfront about it, so that their viewership will know from the get-go to be aware of their biases and filter out accordingly. Those "news" organizations don't even try to hide the fact that they are not trying to be neutral (https://pudding.cool/2018/01/chyrons/), that they are directly helping to drive policy (https://www.thedailybeast.com/report-trump-and-hannity-have-a-bedtime-phone-call-most-nights) of the current regime, that they are essentially broadcasting to an audience of one (https://www.npr.org/2019/09/11/759016509/audience-of-one-aims-to-show-how-tv-shaped-donald-trump-and-led-to-his-rise), and that they are no longer a credible source of "news" (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/oct/25/fox-news-watching-what-i-learned) (if indeed they ever were (https://www.youtube.com/embed/P74oHhU5MDk)). Which means they are doing a disservice to the entire country. And why there are so few journalists left there.
News sources that try their best to maintain a neutral stance towards reporting the news include National Public Radio (NPR), the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and (surprisingly, given the name) The Christian Science Monitor. Non-American news sources such as DeutscheWelle, France24, and the British Broadcasting Corporation (the BBC) are better in many ways when it comes to covering American news than a lot of the American news organizations. Yes, the BBC is not perfect either, but at least they try to be neutral. They for sure have faults of their own. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_BBC) And unlike what the current occupant of the Oval (who is on record as lying more than 16,000 times (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/) at this point, and rising) has to say: no, the three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are not "fake news". See: projection (https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/psychological-projection-dealing-with-undesirable-emotions/), and gaslighting. (https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/29/politics/fact-check-coronavirus-briefing/index.html)
In short, you want to stick to sources as close to the top-middle section of the Media Bias Chart 5.1 (https://www.adfontesmedia.com/?v=402f03a963ba) as you can, and if you do partake of "news" being spread from those sources towards either tail of the chart, proceed with caution. Example: you know things are bad when the Voice of America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America) (VOA), which was established by the US government during the Cold War to counter Russia propaganda (and which until 2013 was forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens under Section 501 of the Smith–Mundt Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%80%93Mundt_Act)), is more neutral and fact-based than Faux News is.

Yes, the BBC is not perfect either, but at least they try to be neutral. They for sure have faults of their own. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_BBC) And unlike what the current occupant of the Oval (who is on record as lying more than 16,000 times (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/) at this point, and rising) has to say: no, the three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are not "fake news". See: projection (https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/psychological-projection-dealing-with-undesirable-emotions/), and gaslighting. (https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/29/politics/fact-check-coronavirus-briefing/index.html)
In short, you want to stick to sources as close to the top-middle section of the Media Bias Chart 5.1 (https://www.adfontesmedia.com/?v=402f03a963ba) as you can, and if you do partake of "news" being spread from those sources towards either tail of the chart, proceed with caution. Example: you know things are bad when the Voice of America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America) (VOA), which was established by the US government during the Cold War to counter Russia propaganda (and which until 2013 was forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens under Section 501 of the Smith–Mundt Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%E2%80%93Mundt_Act)), is more neutral and fact-based than Faux News is.
LOL.
I can see why you chose to post this in the "Funny Politics" thread. ;)

Yes Zookie, I understand where you get the news, but to be on the jokes that StrikeZone post, you need a frame of reference of why he find them charming to make sense of it. The Daily show is only funny to those that are up to date with the news and yet republican tried to launch their own comedy show with Dennis Miller 1/2 hour comedy show, and it failed because you had to watch FoxNews to get their jokes. Otherwise it didn't make sense to most people and the show cancel. Irony only works if there is a basis of truth behind it!
But I do appreciate Strikezone contribution and ironic that his serious stuff is on the funny politics and his irony is in the politics section. How do you like that irony?

*A RECAP OF THE LAST THREE WEEKS*
(from Occupy Democrats, I'm told....)
AMERICA: Oh my god! Coronavirus! What should we do?
CALIFORNIA: Shut down your state.
AMERICA: Wait... what? Why?
CALIFORNIA: Because we need to stop the spread of the virus, just shut your state down.
NEBRASKA: Whoa... whoa... let’s not be hasty now. The President said that this whole coronavirus thing is a Democratic hoax.
CALIFORNIA: He also said that windmills cause cancer. Shut down your state.
TEXAS: But the President said that we only have 15 cases and soon it'll be zero.
CALIFORNIA: The President can’t count to fifteen nor even spell it. Shut down your state.
NEW JERSEY: Us too?
CALIFORNIA: Yes, you guys too. Just like when Christie shut down the bridge, but it’s your whole state.
FLORIDA: But what about all these kids here on spring break?? They spend a lot of money here!
CALIFORNIA: Those kids invented the Tide pod challenge. Shut down your state.
LOUISIANA: But wait let’s have Mardi Gras first. It entertains people.
CALIFORNIA: It also kills them. Shut it down.
GEORGIA: Ok well how about we keep the state open for all of our mega churches? Maybe we can all pray really hard until the coronavirus just goes away!
CALIFORNIA: Which is working like a charm for mass shootings. Jesus told us to tell you to shut down your state.
OKLAHOMA: What about the tigers?
CALIFORNIA: What about a dentist. Shut it down.
WYOMING: Hold up, maybe we should go county by county like the president said.
CALIFORNIA: Stop acting like there are counties in Wyoming. There are no counties in Wyoming. Wyoming is a county. Shut it down.
PENNSYLVANIA: But big coal.
CALIFORNIA: But big death. Shut it.
WEST VIRGINIA: But we were the last state to get coronavirus!
CALIFORNIA: And don’t make us explain to you why that was. Shut it down.
NORTH CAROLINA: But the Republican National Convention is coming here!
CALIFORNIA: SHUT... OK, fine, do what you want.

Faucci just came out yesterday or so and stated that he warn the president about social distancing back in Feb 10th and would not consider it, until a march 14th later. Faucci recommend anti-body testing to send people back to work would be the only safe way of opening the country back up with federal assistance, and Trump reply is to cut all fund for testing. Given that Trump personal doctor is more like a clown than an acting doctor tells you very much that he has no respect for doctors. He is fighting every inch to dismiss our safety for himself and his greed. Time will tell if he will exceed Hitler death count! Keep in mind that the Mardi Gras is renown for people all over the world and that Europe got most of their infection from the US not China. So you can add their death count to our present half a million.

Protecting this president has to be the worse job ever right now! majority of them are coming down with this virus. Makes me wonder if they do steroids and have high blood pressure issues. Plus they are constantly bombard by Trumper fan who dont wear mask yelling over them to see the president. Putting themselves at higher risk. If they have to take a loyalty test to get the job does that also entails that they also start taking Hydroxychloriquine as well?

CNN, November 10, 2016: "That Trump quote calling Republicans 'the dumbest group of voters'? Fake!" (https://cnn.it/2z5se8e)
Dear internet, we don't want to scold you, but you're making it difficult.
That viral meme your friends keep sharing of Donald Trump calling Republicans "the dumbest group of voters in the country" is not true. It's not a thing. Stop sharing it.
While Donald Trump has said some questionable things, he never said anything even resembling this quote:
"If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican. They're the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific."
The post says The Donald made the statement in a People Magazine interview in 1998. Except he didn't.
Snopes, that mythbusting site (http://www.snopes.com/1998-trump-people-quote/), looked into this when it first started doing the rounds in October. That's October 2015!
Trump appeared pretty regularly in People Magazine in those days. But Snopes combed through their voluminous archives and couldn't find a single interview where he said that.
So when you see this meme, know that it won't be a helpful counterpoint during the Thanksgiving political debates you'll have with your family.

To those who say "not all cops are bad...there's always a few bad apples that make the rest of them look bad."

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes highlighted on his program Friday night what sometimes gets lost now that so many have grown accustomed to President Trump’s ramblings, and that is just how incoherent Trump actually is.
Hayes began, “One thing we’ve learned is that you can never actually get the full flavor of how disjointed, incoherent and incapable of the most basic responses the president is to the most pressing social questions until you actually just read the transcript.”
Hayes then quoted a recent radio interview where President Trump was a phone-in guest on a show hosted by Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade — a place that should be a soft landing spot for Trump.
Hayes explained that Trump was asked a simple, direct question about the treatment of Black people by the police. Hayes then noted that Kilmeade “tried to coach Trump through the question” and read that portion of the interview’s transcript aloud... (https://twitter.com/brooklynmutt/status/1269084617354682368)

...Hayes’s reading of Trump’s words highlighted something comedian Sarah Cooper has captured with her hilarious viral lip-synch videos of the president. (https://www.youtube.com/embed/0gPrRYNYgdQ) Cooper, who calls herself “The Trump Whisperer,” said the president is fascinating to mimic because he seems to be in ad-lib mode most times.
“It’s just very interesting because you don’t know where his brain is going. I don’t know if he knows where his brain is going,” Cooper told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
Cooper explained what she thinks she has learned about Trump while nailing down her lip-synch.
“I feel like he was able to become the most powerful man in the world on posture alone, just on his ability to speak and speak and speak and speak until you don’t even know what happened,” the comedian said.
She added, “I like the ability to sort of take off the emperor’s clothes, to take away the podium and the people behind him nodding and the suit and the ‘I’m so rich,’ and just have the words there with my facial expressions, so people can actually see how he literally has no clue what he’s talking about.”

Kind of remind me of that song in "Fiddler on the Roof" "If I were a rich man"
The most important men in town will come to fawn on me
They will ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise
"If you please, Reb Tevye?"
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye?"
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes
Ya va voy, ya va voy voy vum
And it won't make one bit of difference
If I answer right or wrong
When you're rich they think you really know.
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray,
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall,
And I'd discuss the learned books with the holy men
Seven hours every day
That would be the sweetest thing of all
Oy!
If I were a rich man,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dumb

The stoles they are wearing are made of kente cloth (or, more likely, they are kente cloth prints).
Kente cloth is a royal cloth of the Ashanti ethnic group in Ghana. Because the majority of African-Americans do not know exactly from which countries in Africa their ancestors were kid nap ped from over the course of centuries, many of them have chosen kente cloth to represent their African heritage.
Especially since these Congresspeople are white (and therefore descendants of people who either were directly involved with the trans-Atlantic traffic of enslaved Africans, or who have directly or indirectly benefited from the system of oppression that created that traffic), their wearing kente cloth in this manner and at this time, which they may want to justify as being in supposed "solidarity" with their constituents who have been murdered by police, is tone-deaf at best and highly insulting and performative at worst. As Doreen St. Félix explains in The New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-and-off-the-avenue/the-embarrassment-of-democrats-wearing-kente-cloth-stoles):
The announcement did not warrant such a visual stunt, but the Democratic Party, the party of optics and gesture, apparently could not resist. On Monday, members of Congress introduced the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, news that was bulldozed by the pageant antics accompanying it. Swathed in identical kente stoles, the lawmakers, intent on conveying solidarity with their constituents, only made themselves models of obtuseness.
Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Steny Hoyer wore their stoles over dark suits, as did Senator Kamala Harris. On House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who chose to wear bright red, evidently to coördinate with the rhombuses of green and blue in the cloth, the fabric swung, giving her an inappropriate swagger. There is no event that is too sombre to extinguish the need for style, which we should never dismiss as a frivolity; clothing can communicate dissent or alliance, belonging and political belief. All politics rests on an aspect of performance. But the sight of the mantles literally dragging on the floor—as members of Congress stood up after kneeling for eight minutes and forty-six seconds, assuming a pose that mirrored that of Derek Chauvin, the cop who, with his knee, pressed on the neck of George Floyd, killing him—felt not just misguided but like an outright mockery. The need to deliver a photo op overcame consideration of what the resulting pictures would communicate.
Why kente? The textile has long been used in ways distant from its original context, collecting meanings both specific and vague. Kente is indigenous to the Asante kingdom, in what is now Ghana. Skilled artisans have been weaving the cloth for hundreds of years; its intricate pattern, a geometry of quadrangles and golden expanse, is extremely difficult to fabricate. In Ghana, kente is prized as a link between ancestry and the present, a totem of tradition. In America, kente is a magnet for a broad and diffuse desire for “Africanness,” the yearning to participate in the black diaspora. It is an organization of thread expected to resolve the primal problem of our black Americans’ continental orphanage. The kente stole, in particular, is most often associated with the academy. Every spring, black graduates walk down grassy knolls draped in the finery.
...Fashion is statecraft, and liberal politicians in general love the accessory or the flourish that can be extrapolated to signify seductive class solidarity. Before, it was the rolled-up sleeve, deployed most fluidly by the everyman Barack Obama, as he embraced the throng; in the time of the pandemic, it’s the mask, worn to signal, in contrast to Trump, a public servant’s humility. Still, it is essential to note that the idea for Monday’s kente cloth came from the Congressional Black Caucus, according to its leader, Karen Bass. Members of the C.B.C. wore stoles in silent disapproval of Trump at his State of the Union address in 2018. “The significance of the kente cloth is our African heritage, and for those of you without that heritage who are acting in solidarity,” Bass said on Monday. What was projected was limp domestic diplomacy, akin to historical images of white political leaders preening in the exotic “garb” of people living in countries that they are exploiting. Inadvertently, the cloth emphasized the sense that black Americans are foreigners in their own land.
...We have a reliance in this country on asymmetrical displays that allow us to dwell in, and never penetrate beyond, the level of the cultural. I am thinking of the galvanic white pantsuit, and of the hot-pink knitted pussyhat. I am thinking of the canonization of certain moments of pacification: Obama singing “Amazing Grace” at the funeral of Clementa Pinckney, who was murdered by Dylann Roof; Bill Clinton, while leading an Administration that codified mass incarceration, being sanctified for knowing how to play the saxophone so well. And now these stoles, which I know many found to be powerful and, worse, legitimizing.

FYI:
rac·ism /ˈrāˌsizəm/, noun:
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized;
a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles;
a political or social system founded on racism.

FBI recent photo release of the rope that was use for pulldown. Bubba did not report the noose. I think most people would see that as a real concern, in my boy-scouting days, this would not be the knot I would have made for a loop for a pull-down. I think 2 loop like a half hitch would have suffice, or a bowline, something that would have made the loop more permanent. The noose would slip tighter making it difficult to keep the shape.

What part of this are you struggling over?
What part of Dave Chapelle being black making fun of his hate group, vs you making fun of black people with a hate group? You do understand that difference?

I don't know if this will help or you would just laugh at this. I am going to guess that none of the moderator are black, otherwise I think they would have address the issue of posting racist stuff in the forum. All the people you listed as being racist doesn't in anyway make it right for you to post racist stuff in here, that is not an argument or a debate, that just saying little johnny hit me so it's okay for me to hit back. Your mommy didn't buy that excuse, so neither do i buy into that its okay to be racist because others were racist of people that you admire. Half the people you listed didn't get away with being racist, they had to face the music for their actions and did some back pedaling apologizing.

First you said a joke I showed was too racist, so I suggested that you not watch comedians who say racist jokes.
Then you said to provide examples to two different things, which I then provided you with.
Then that wasnt enough and then you show me a video with an African american talking to white people and giving them advice to which i respond I am not even white. Still not enough.
The goal post keeps getting moved.
So anyway, back to the jokes....

That is why I say Mr Irrelevant strikes again, because you haven't said anything logical or make a point. I agree I should not listen to anyone who is racist, but showing me who you thought were racist, with half of them that were black and the other half who got into trouble for being racist as you are. Just because others were racist still doesn't excuse you for being one yourself. That's not a defense and saying that you were just joking about being racist, doesn't make it a joke! It's irrelevant! It's hateful, and that pretty much sums up everything you have said and done in this thread, just spewing more hate and hate toward immigrants, toward children in cages, and toward liberals that are protesting for peace. Your love for the president is only because he hates the same people you hate!

The Shovel, 3 Jul 2020: "NRA Accidentally Forgets to Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government" (https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_hFSpj0aZ/)
An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do. “Our whole reason for lobbying for looser gun laws and amassing huge personal arsenals of weapons these past years was so that we could ensure the security of a free state and protect the people from an oppressive government. And then it actually happened (https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unmarked-vehicles-portland-protesters/), and the whole rising up against a tyrannical government thing just totally slipped our minds, which is a little embarrassing,” a sheepish NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre said.
He said the morale around the NRA has been pretty low. “The guys feel pretty silly. We had our well regulated militia stocked up and ready to go, just waiting the moment when the Government would turn on its own people. And then the government started shooting protesters (https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867532070/trumps-unannounced-church-visit-angers-church-officials) and rolling tanks down the street (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/01/george-floyd-protests-ag-barr-deploying-riot-teams-dc-miami/5308052002/), and we were like ‘guys this is the one we’ve been talking about, let’s go!’. But then something else came up and we forgot to do it. Damnit!”. Observers were shocked that the NRA had missed their opportunity to defend their country. “I can’t believe it,” one analyst said. “It’s almost as if they weren’t worried about the government at all. It’s as if they were actually just scared of black people.”

3 failed marriage on top of that! I sometimes suspect that he might be a closet gay person. Needing so much attention of acceptance so badly. Using feminine voice and the way he hold his hand up raising his pinky. All point to a condition of wanting to be admire so badly that it comes out as being narcissist. Trevor Noah was the first one that pointed out his rhythmic voice pattern that is more feminine in the way it it rolls like a old Jewish woman complaining.

Technically it's a failed marriage, even tho its not a divorce. There is no hand holding, no warmth, no eye contact unless forced. And soon no money after he goes to jail. The main reason he doesn't want to show his tax, is that his wife doesn't know his finances completely. LOL
He refers to his son as his wife son, not his.

Most of the DNC rally that I have seen, praises the USA our country and don't go around praising Russia or North Korea. You might be surprise coming from the Republican side to see another party actually chanting USA and mean it.

The DNC was pretty cringe worthy. Some comments:
Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson wrote: “I wanted to like it. I really did, I promise I did.”
Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin tweeted: “The cheesy videos that used to be the space fillers in the convention have become the convention.”
RealClearPolitics Senior Writer Mark Hemingway wrote: “Allowing Cuomo to blame the Federal government for New York’s coronavirus problems is some chutzpah.”
Progressive David Pakman wrote: “Someone please talk me off the ledge. I want to win, and the first 22 minutes of this DNC…I’m scared. Can someone tell me how great this is or something?”
Free Beacon Executive Editor Brent Scher commented on one of the guests who came on and pretty much pinned her father dying from COVID-19 on President Donald Trump. “Holy s**t this woman roasting her dead dad going to a karaoke bar,” Scher wrote. “These people…"
Federalist co-founder Sean Davis commented on the same video, writing: “Andrew Cuomo’s coronavirus nursing home orders killed 4x as many New Yorkers as 9/11. Pass it on.”
Progressive David Sirota wrote: “Imagine having all the awesome creative talent of Hollywood and the entertainment industry at your fingertips and nonetheless this is the convention you produce.”
And then they had the same people on multiple screens. Was this a mistake, or they couldnt find 30 different people?

I hate to say it, but Striker point out a problem!
The DNC wants to be the new Republican because they have the funding of most of the corporation, but the conservative hate the DNC no matter how they rebrand themselves, and the progressive is left out in the open with no voice for what they want. This is the damn repeat of the Hillary campaign! That is why Biden poll number are not pulling far enough to win! The DNC are happy with just the corporation participation award and don't care about winning!

I think the DNC are making the same mistakes too. I have been thinking that for a while. I mean I guess you guys have to settle with Biden, but a lot to the things the DNC are doing, I think, are turning voters away.
And by the way, I believe conservatives just think Democrats are misled, they dont hate them. Whereas it seems Democrats think conservatives are evil.

The political equivalent of getting a kanji tattoo when you have no idea how to read, speak, or understand Japanese:
(https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-supporter-tomi-lahren-inadvertently-133209448.html)
...In a video shared on Twitter (https://twitter.com/_SJPeace_/status/1298129002394267648), tomi lahren, a political commentator and Fox News "Nation" contributor, can be heard praising the Indian diaspora for apparently getting behind the “Make America Great Again” campaign.
“Because President is wise like an owl, or as you guys would say in Hindi – I hope I’m pronouncing this right – President is wise like an ullu. I hope I said that right,” Ms. lahren told her followers.
In Hindi, "ullu" does indeed mean "owl." But unfortunately for Ms. lahren, to compare someone to an owl in India is to label them “a fool” or a “jackass”...

When Propaganda Goes Terribly Wrong:
The Independent (UK): "RNC video showing violence in 'Biden's America' is actually Barcelona" (https://news.yahoo.com/rnc-video-showing-violence-bidens-163937551.html)
The Republican National Convention used this image as an example of protest violence in America. The image is actually from Barcelona, Spain in 2019: Republican National Convention via YouTube
The Republican National Convention aired a video meant to paint the George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter demonstrations as inherently violent, chaotic events, but included a scene from protests in Barcelona, Spain.
A public broadcaster in Catalonia reported that the images in question - of fires burning in the streets - were captured in 2019 in Barcelona. The protests in Spain began after a Spanish court sentenced Catalan separatists to prison.
A pair of sisters provides a voice over for the video, offering a dire warning for viewers that "this is a taste of Biden's America" as images of protests play.
"The rioting, the crime. Freedom is at stake now and this is going to be the most important election of our lifetime," they said.
While the voices warn that the images are a look at life under Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, they are in fact - with the exception of the image from Barcelona - a look at conditions in the US under [the current occupant of the Oval].
Buzzfeed News independently verified that the questionable image was actually from Barcelona.
The news organisation found identical video footage on Shutterstock, which is a common source for stock images and videos.
Though protests often appear on television and are discussed - particularly by conservative politicians - as though they're all-encompassing events, most protests tend to geographically isolated. They are often limited to just a few blocks of a city or several streets if the protesters are marching.
While looting, arson and violence has happened in isolated incidents at some recent protests, law enforcement agencies have found that in several instances, the destructive behaviour was actually carried out by white supremacists masquerading as protesters.
The most well-known of these white supremacist-as-provocateur incidents occurred in Minneapolis when, several days into the George Floyd protests, a man carrying an umbrella was filmed casually smashing the windows at an auto-parts store.
Eventually Minneapolis police identified him as a member of a white supremacist group that sought to "incite violence" at the protests.
Between white supremacist infiltrators, "boogaloo boys" looking to bring about the next civil war, and armed rightwing gangs cosplaying as soldiers, there are numerous entities attending protests that wish to see the message behind the demonstrations undermined.
The most recent incident of protest escalation occurred earlier this week in Kenosha, Wisconsin during protests against the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
kyle rittenhouse, a 17 year-old aspiring police officer, travelled a half an hour across the state with his gun to involve himself in the protests. He was charged with murder after killing two people and wounding a third. rittenhouse is a former police cadet and his social media is filled with support for "Back the Blue," which is essentially a call for individuals to take up arms in defence of the police.
Police in Kenosha were filmed chatting with rittenhouse earlier in the night and can be seen handing him a bottle of water. The police thank him for coming to the protest.
In short:

"Funny" in the vein of "Point and Laugh".....
So today was a day for "Boaters for Trump" to have "parades" out on the water. Load up their boats with their MAGA-cap wearing friends, put "Trump-Pence" flags all over the place, and just go out for a party.
Things didn't go too well at Lake Travis near Austin, TX.
It was windier than expected, for one thing.
So you've got boats of all sizes, overloaded with people **94** heavily, and "captained" by people who don't have much experience at the helm. Put them in a confined space, so wakes from faster craft don't readily dissipate. Now add high winds - which have just the effect you'd expect them to have on all those flags....
Multiple small boats needed rescue after they began sinking due to choppy water conditions as the boats traveled together on the lake, according to the office. No one was injured as a result of those incidents, according to Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services officials.
The lake is known for being difficult to navigate at times, and large wakes could be seen during Saturday’s boat parade.
Travis County Sheriff's Office "responded to multiple calls involving boats in distress during the Trump parade on Lake Travis. Several boats did sink," the office tweeted Saturday.

That's one of the biggest difference between Joe and Don, when Don makes a stutter, he pretend the word exist and will double down on "cofefe" , while Joe will go back and will attempt to correct what he was trying to say. The liberal makes fun of the fragile ego of not being able to correct what Trump was trying to say, while the far right makes fun of a stutterer that works hard to overcome them and become an elected official. That a huge definition of character building. So if you think making fun of people who stutter is to your advantage of making a joke, then the joke is on you!

Point is no one voted for Ford.
Actually, Spiro Agnew, who was as much of a crook as his boss was, resigned from the Office of Vice President of the United States on October 10, 1973, and "then pleaded no contest to criminal charges of tax evasion and money laundering, part of a negotiated resolution to a scheme in which he accepted $29,500 ($228,847 in 2020 dollars) in bribes while governor of Maryland...Ford was nominated to take Agnew's position on October 12, the first time the vice-presidential vacancy provision of the 25th Amendment had been implemented. The United States Senate voted 92 to 3 to confirm Ford on November 27. On December 6, 1973, the House confirmed Ford by a vote of 387 to 35.

Deadline: "Sacha Baron Cohen Takes Jab At Amid 2020 Election Defeat: 'Your Performance This Past Week Was Tragic And Sad'" (https://deadline.com/2020/11/sacha-baron-cohen-jab-donald-trump-2020-election-defeat-1234611130/)
Sacha Baron Cohen continued his tit for tat against [the current occupant of the Oval Office for the next 74 days], taking jabs at the former reality star as he lost the 2020 presidential race to opponent and former Vice President Joe Biden.
“Donald – you’re out of work and I know I offered you a job. But your performance this past week was tragic and sad,” the Borat actor tweeted on Saturday morning, as AP and multiple networks called the race in Biden and running mate Kamala Harris’ favor. “Offer rescinded.”
The Trial of the Chicago 7 actor referred to a previous social media interaction (https://deadline.com/2020/10/borat-sacha-baron-cohen-donald-trump-twitter-retort-i-dont-find-you-funny-either-but-the-whole-world-laughs-at-you-1234602971/) with [the loser of the 2020 Presidential election], in which the sitting president criticized Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, claimed Baron Cohen “tried to scam” him and dubbed him a “creep.” The Amazon flick, directed by Jacob Woliner, sees Baron Cohen’s Kazakh journalist embark on a journey to offer his 15 year-old daughter (Maria Bakalova) to mike pence or various members of [the loser of the 2020 Presidential election]’s close circle.
Following [the loser of the 2020 Presidential election]’s October comments, Baron Cohen responded by thanking the president for his words.
“Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either,” he tweeted. (https://twitter.com/SachaBaronCohen/status/1320074185268469762) “But yet the whole world laughs at you. I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!”
However, following [the loser of the 2020 Presidential election]’s false claims that he has won the 2020 race or his constant stream of tweets on Saturday morning, many of which Twitter has flagged for false information, Baron Cohen clocked The Apprentice boss for his measly performance.
With Baron Cohen taking away any opportunities to play “racist buffoons” and with Biden taking over come January, it seems [indicted co-conspirator Individual #1] (https://www.vox.com/2019/2/27/18243038/individual-1-cohen-trump-mueller) has some job-searching to do.

That's insane.

Ford should be removed from the chart. He actually was never elected to the Presidency. He was Senate Pro Tem. Chosen by the Senate to take the place of Agnew after the Vice-President died. Elevated to President after Nixon resigned.
Point is no one voted for Ford.
True.... but I didn't make the graphic.
By the way, from the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" file.....
On Saturday, when all the networks finally gave in to reality and called the election for Biden, Donnie tweeted that his team of super-lawyers would be holding a press conference at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia.
No, not the hotel, but Four Seasons Total Landscaping......
You can't miss it, it's next door to Fantasy Island Adult Books, across the street from the Delaware Valley Cremation Center, and just about half a mile from the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Center.
I AM NOT KIDDING.
Naturally, people are having fun posting joke reviews on Yelp, and the business itself is having fun with the attention.

Alex Baldwin rumor is a joke, but who knows how long he still has a job as long as Donny boy throws a fit. I'm looking forward to Alex interpret Donny in his next skit.
The 4 season landscaping parking lot is so hilarious, particularly when Rudy shouts to the camera "Do they think we're fools?"
I can't imagine how hard it was for the reporter to keep from laughing! It was embarrassing to see Hillary crumbled but at least she did it quietly in her own space for a few days before she conceded, all the while Trump prove her to be right as she forecast his presidency. The Republican just keep digging a bigger hole for themselves still backing his tizzy fit.
It feels like those Republican that came forward to congratulate Biden for the win have nothing to hide or fear, but those that keep digging deep in the trenches with Trump may have something to fear and hide.

I am not hearing people saying that are voting system isn't corrupt. I'm saying that people voted in the largest number ever to overcome the voters suppression by way of mail in ballot as to be proven the safest way to vote. I wonder if Trump could have won if the republican didn't try so hard to suppress democracy?

The lie spread by fascists and their supporters: "there wuz wiDEsprEAd vOTer frAUd in Georgia..."
A little later: "We found four dead people who voted there!"
A local news station found that two of the "dead" people who voted actually were quite alive, and the other two were clerical errors (sharing the same name as the dead person save for a middle initial).
And now a laborious recount is underway, being paid for your tax-payer dollars, to do...what? (https://www.ajc.com/politics/live-updates-georgias-presidential-recount-underway/XWUWCZY5EZHNPPXLP6TO3YYNMI/) How many times does he want to lose?
Just stop with this rubbish. There was no widespread voter fraud. None of the lawyers who came before Federal courts in spurious lawsuit after spurious lawsuit (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/11/trump-republicans-voter-fraud-no-proof) could provide any evidence of it. Even if they'd gotten their legal degrees from a box of Crackerjacks, they know very well what the consequences of lying in front of a Federal judge are. (https://hanfordsentinel.com/news/opinion/columnists/you-and-the-law-lawyers-who-lie-do-not-end-well/article_a9a93acc-c530-11e0-b6a6-001cc4c002e0.html) The Secretaries of State of all 50 states (in Republican states and in Democratic states alike) were directly asked if there was any credible or actual example of voter fraud in the past election. All said "no." (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html)
The onus is on the accuser to provide proof of their outlandish claims. They cannot produce such "proof" because there is none. This man has deluded himself to believe that the only time an election is "fraudulent" is if he loses in it; he made this stupid claim even before he participated in the election against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. (https://twitter.com/davidmweissman/status/1324518095873101824)
He wouldn't be the first non-consecutive occupier of the Oval Office, so stop behaving as if you can't vote for der Gropenführer again in 2024. Assuming he isn't in jail by then (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/11/donald-trump-post-white-house-prosecutions) of course. (Or, not.

Isn't there a million dollar reward to find proof of fraud that leads to conviction? Also 9 people quit or fire because the AG William Barr order them to investigate fraud in the election! When will the Republican stand up to Trump for the sake of national security to acknowledge the transfer of power?
Trump's team of lawyers, most of them have abandon their post, leaving Rudy to the task. The Trump defense fund puts 60% of the money contributed into Trump account. It's an obvious scam. He is raising money for himself or to fund campaign for 2024 if only he is running.

The Borowitz Report: "Loser.com Blasts Biden Cabinet’s Lack of Reality-Show Experience" (https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/trump-blasts-biden-cabinets-lack-of-reality-show-experience)
In a series of blistering tweets, Loser.com ripped President-elect Joe Biden for choosing Cabinet members woefully lacking in reality-show experience.
Calling the Cabinet picks a “bunch of losers who have spent their lives working at desks,” Loser.com questioned the team’s preparedness to take on the challenges presented by today’s complex reality-show landscape.
“These people have never earned an immunity idol, presided over a rose ceremony, or danced with a star,” Loser.com said. “This is the best Sleepy Joe could do?”
He saved his most withering criticism for Janet Yellen, Biden’s pick for Treasury Secretary. “If Joe really wanted a woman for this position, why didn’t he choose one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?” he asked. “They know a lot more about money than this clown.”
Leaving aside Biden’s failure to pack his Cabinet with experienced reality-show participants, Loser.com was baffled by his successor’s decision to bypass other highly talented candidates. “ivanka, jared, eric, and don, jr., are all looking for jobs,” he said.

MEL Magazine: "Gavin Newsom and the Plight of ‘Hank Hill Ass’" (https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/gavin-newsom-and-the-plight-of-hank-hill-ass) by Miles Klee
As a Californian, I do not like having Gavin Newsom for my governor. I do not like that he kneecapped the state’s high-speed rail project. I don’t like his garbage housing policies, either. I don’t like his little color risk tiers for managing the response to surging COVID-19 cases., and I certainly don’t like knowing that when he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle (who is currently dating Loser.com Jr.), they did a “sexy” photo spread for Harper’s Bazaar, which called them “the New Kennedys.” Most recently, I disliked learning that Newsom flouted pandemic guidance to attend a lobbyist’s birthday dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant.
A slickster politician supping on French delicacies in wine country with a dozen other people while the rest of us are canceling Thanksgiving to keep grandma alive… it’s a perfectly formed scandal. His apology sucked, too. But, for perhaps the first time, I felt a twinge of sympathy for California’s chief executive. That’s because photos of the incident revealed his tragic ass. (https://twitter.com/MilesKlee/status/1329102338267570176)
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EnHrhtUVoAAeB25?format=jpg&name=900x900)
Maybe it’s just an unfortunate bunching of the dad jeans. More likely, though, Newsom is afflicted with a condition that I and countless other white guys suffer from: flat-ass, no-ass, negative ass, or, in pop culture parlance, “Hank Hill ass,” a term that comes to us from an episode of the animated sitcom King of the Hill. In “Hank’s Back Story,” (https://youtu.be/a1phUqcng1A) the patriarch of the show discovers that his back pain is the result of “diminished gluteal syndrome,” i.e., an absence of buttocks. To his humiliation, he’s forced to wear an orthotic that rounds out his posterior.
In the Age of the Ass, it’s an extra bummer to have none. Yet whatever the cultural moment, the plight of the assless is real and painful. Without that natural cushioning, the vast majority of chairs, benches and public transit seating are forever uncomfortable. Toilets, also! You feel top-heavy all the time; without a booty for ballast, you’re easily knocked off-balance. And anybody turning around to check you out when you walk by will be sorely disappointed, since, as Newsom demonstrates, your pants always look weirdly loose or deflated back there.
Anyway, back to shitting on Newsom for undermining a serious public health response in a way that allows virus skeptics to argue that social distancing and mask mandates are purely for show. The difference is I now see what he’s working with in the rear, and I understand how bony hindquarters would lead you to abandon all ethics and principles. Get this man some padding.

So there is this tweet from former attendent of the TV show The Apprentice that claim to have seen Don wearing depends for adults and seen him snort drugs and thinks that his extreme drug usage caught up with him to lose bowel control. Also people witness him evaculating while in meetings causing people to tear up because of the stench. Makes me wonder if that's why he was unpopular in the European summit meetings(other than his policy).
Makes you wonder why he hates the new meme being called **39** Do so much!

Atlantic City Announces Trump Plaza Implosion Date
The property was purchased by Carl Ichan’s Icahn Enterprises following the closure and demolition of the building has been discussed since 2017. The structure has deteriorated significantly since the lights went out; it was declared a “public safety hazard” earlier this year when chunks of the building’s concrete and stucco façade started falling onto nearby streets.
Police detail around the property warning pedestrians about a perilous sidewalk next to the building has been a mainstay and the city filed a legal injunction back in March looking to expedite the building’s demolition. Trump Plaza’s 39-story tower is slated to be imploded on January 29, or just about a week after Inauguration Day.

If it weren't for the fact that she's complicit in deliberately spreading lies and conspiracy theories, this would be even funnier.
CNN Business: "Fox News' maria bartiromo thought she was interviewing the CEO of Smithfield Foods. It was an impostor" (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/23/media/maria-bartiromo-smithfield/index.html)
"We have an important correction to make," Fox Business host maria bartiromo said at the conclusion of her show Wednesday. "It appears we have been punked."
bartiromo believed she was interviewing Dennis Organ, the president and CEO of Smithfield Foods (http://www.cnn.com/2020/09/11/business/smithfield-department-of-labor-covid-fine/index.html), the self-proclaimed world's largest pork producer. In fact, she had been interviewing Matt Johnson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-johnson-254601152/), press coordinator for animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere. For six minutes.
The embarrassment is hardly the first time bartiromo has made headlines for head-scratching behavior on her show. (http://www.cnn.com/2020/12/16/media/right-wing-media-mcconnell-reliable-sources/index.html) Wednesday's incident follows multiple segments on bartiromo's show in recent weeks amplifying conspiracy theories about the election without any pushback.
The repeated mistakes and false information by bartiromo suggest a lack of editorial standards and basic fact checking. A quick internet search for Smithfield's CEO points to the company's official leadership site (https://www.smithfieldfoods.com/about-smithfield/leadership), including a photograph of Organ -- who looks nothing like Johnson (Organ is a balding redhead; Johnson, well, isn't.)
Responding to a request for comment, a Fox News spokeswoman pointed to bartiromo's on-air correction, where she promised more vigilance.
"Fox Business aired a segment that was a complete hoax," said Keira Lombardo, Smithfield Foods' chief administrative officer, in a statement. "A simple Google search for a photo of our CEO would have prevented this from happening. This allowed false information to be aired, and Fox has aired an apology for this complete lapse."
A wacky pretend interview
Wednesday's interview started innocently enough. bartiromo asked her guest about a Covid-19 outbreak in a Smithfield Foods South Dakota plant and the company's plans for vaccine distribution. Johnson (posing as Organ) answered like a CEO would, with corporatespeak and platitudes about the company's "dedicated and resilient" staff, "courageous" workers and a commitment to providing "extensive personal protective equipment" to employees. Nothing to see here. Yet.
Two minutes into the interview, though, things took a turn.
"As the new CEO and president of Smithfield, I personally promise that we're going to do better, and the first change under my leadership is transparency and, at times, brutal honesty."
Johnson went on to say that the food industry could contribute to the next pandemic, arguing farms are "petri dishes" for infectious diseases. Smirking, pausing, "umming" and "you knowing" throughout the rambling interview, Johnson certainly did plenty to tip off bartiromo and her staff that he wasn't who he claimed to be.
At the end of her show, bartiromo issued a correction.
"We want to apologize to Dennis Organ, Smithfield Foods and our audience for making this mistake," she said. "We will, of course, be more vigilant."
A history of misinformation
On November 29, bartiromo gave Loser.com his first TV interview since the election, and the conversation was riddled with lies and conspiracy theories that went unchecked. (https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/29/media/bartiromo-trump-interview/index.html) bartiromo opened the interview saying, "the facts are on your side." After the president falsely said election fraud had taken place, bartiromo said, "this is disgusting and we cannot allow America's election to be corrupted."
Last week, bartiromo said "an intel source" is "telling me that Loser.com did in fact win the election," (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/16/media/right-wing-media-mcconnell-reliable-sources/index.html) although Fox called the election for Biden. Election officials, the US Department of Justice (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/21/politics/william-barr-hunter-biden-election-special-counsel/index.html) and the Department of Homeland Security (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/04/politics/trump-election-security-officials/index.html) have said there was no widespread election fraud.
She also frequently amplified conspiracy theories and false information prevalent on Fox News about supposed voting machine irregularities -- including that software was used to manipulate the election and that there was a direct connection between the companies that make voting machines in America and liberal philanthropic billionaire George Soros. Fox programs hosted by bartiromo, as well as hosts jeanine pirro and lou dobbs, later ran a news package debunking those claims after voting technology company Smartmatic sent Fox News a legal threat that accused the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" against it. (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/19/business/fox-smartmatic-news-package/index.html)

Trump himself have said he would have to be the worse president ever to lose to Biden! I whole heartily agree with this. Most people aren't ready for a dictatorship and would prefer a corporate conservative democrats than a dictatorship. Trump push so hard to suppress democracy that people came out in large number to speak their mind. Stood in long lines and face Covid risk just to keep Trump out of Office. Number one issue was getting a president to deal with the pandemic with compassion and science. The sooner we can deal with Covid the sooner the economic recovery.

Sane person - "Is badakathcare (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yE9j0jU0us) in the dictionary? Is trunalimunumapzrure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdBv-0Obmzs) in the dictionary?
Liberal - "Cofefe! That typo from many years ago that Ill never forget is my gold and only standard!!!"
Strikeblunt! did you look it up in the dictionary? Any of those word complete a sentence and applicable in its meaning?
At least what Joe said was a workable insult. It was his choice word to have a impact of how he felt at the moment. Not just random word mixing noun and adjective with no verb.

There were some people asking, "why am I getting a pardon? I didn't do anything wrong, but just following orders!"
Apparently, Trump with his failing hearing learn, that it was customary when people were leaving work, to give them a pardon gift.

So your saying sarcastically that property has more value than people?!?!?
Because I would say that its better to burn cars and the middle of street than to try to behead the elector of our capital and killing a policeman!
Treason has a death sentence in the past, but some reason some people think trying to kill our leaders and killing a policeman while trying to install a cult leader for themselves is not that big of a deal! I myself think its a bigger deal than having a few proud boys trying to start fire in our city. The fire starting and property destruction of the city is just the tip of the far right atrocity, but trying to take over the govt is a assault on all Americans that voted and defended, is far worse!

VICE: "No, Biden Doesn’t Have a ‘Chinese Handler.’ He’s a US Secret Service Agent." (https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dpjqk/no-biden-doesnt-have-a-chinese-handler-hes-a-us-secret-service-agent)
The subject of the “theory” was a decorated U.S. Secret Service agent with Asian-American heritage.
Conspiracy theorists were quite active during U.S. President Joe Biden’s inauguration, trading spurious claims that senior Secret Service agent David Cho was a “Chinese handler.”
Far-right FB and Twitter users became obsessed with the “China man” who “followed Biden all fucking day,” as Twitter user We the People put it.
“I just asked why has Creepy Joe got a Chinese handler,” user mynameismyown said in a tweet. “It's so blatant, their (sic) not even trying to hide it anymore.”
“How is Biden not a Flag of China puppet? All I’ve seen him do is shuffle from place to place—sometimes with his Chinese handler, sometimes with his wife handler—reading what’s handed to him & then signing what’s handed to him. He doesn’t even have a personality that I can see—only anger,” one user said in a tweet.
The baseless theories came in the wake of months of administration’s attempts to portray Biden as weak on China while accusing his son Hunter of having sketchy business ties with Chinese companies. The same beliefs have also caught on among some pro-democracy supporters in Hong Kong and pro- critics of the Chinese government.
Cho, a Korean-American agent, was picked to lead Biden’s presidential security detail at Wednesday's ceremonies. He is also a decorated member of the agency that protects U.S. leaders and their families.
In 2019, Cho received the Department of Homeland Security’s exceptional service gold medal. The award was “for tireless and direct participation in high-level negotiations” during the second summit between Loser.com and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam....
According to the Washington Post, the perfectionist supervisor was second-in-command of the Secret Service (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-to-make-changes-to-presidential-detail-to-bring-on-agents-who-worked-with-biden/2020/12/30/d6fb8fe8-49ce-11eb-a9d9-1e3ec4a928b9_story.html) during ’s term in office....
“The racist, conspiratorial garbage about Biden’s "Chinese Handler" (aka David Cho the head of his secret service detail) is another example of the perpetual othering of Asian Americans. He literally is willing to take a bullet for the president, instead he’s just a foreign plant,” wrote one user. (https://twitter.com/PDU720/status/1352430774734217220)

Marketplace: "Biden: Yellen needs a “Hamilton” musical. Dessa: Here you go." (https://www.marketplace.org/2021/01/21/yellen-hamilton-musical-biden-dessa)
When then-President-elect Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Janet Yellen for secretary of the treasury, he joked that “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda should write a musical about her.
“We might have to ask Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the musical about the first secretary of the treasury, ‘Hamilton,’ to write another musical for the first woman secretary of the treasury — Yellen,” he said.
So “Marketplace” asked Dessa, a member of the hip-hop collective Doomtree and one of the artists who contributed to “The Hamilton Mixtape,” to think about what that might sound like. Here’s what she and her collaborators came up with. (https://youtu.be/-bgikOGb0rw)

As Vice President, mike pence has proven that even in the face of a constitutional crisis which he alone was uniquely empowered to deal with, he could remain steadfast in his commitment to doing nothing at all. This makes him the obvious and most qualified leader to take over the role as the leader of the MAGA movement. And the only choice in 2024 to lead our nation into the next era of disappointment.

Much as most of us don't like Biden, he still manage to get a 56% approval rating which is already higher than Trump have ever reach at his best rating. Trump never broke 50% and left office at 29% approval ! Yet they find it hard to believe that he could lose the election?!?!?

They might as well say he has a 90% approval rating.
Whats sad is that people will actually believe it.

You might as well say Trump got 90% approval rating and nobody will believe you! You still refuse to say who they is or where you get your information! So you might as well say anything you want, without backing anything you say with the whole content of your source, its pretty much moot point.
You can do better, you left out the Jews space satellite with laser starting forest fires, and **07** pizza being served to the Clintons.

What has been revealed here....
1. A wrong assumption of someones nationality not once, but twice. SJWs' verdict on this = racist.
2. Someone who parades themselves around with high morality and infinite knowledge of the world of politics could not recognize the President of China.
3. A clear showcase of the power of the media suppressing the Hunter Biden scandal to where someone who parades themselves around as if they have infinite knowledge of the world of politics could not recognize images of Hunter Biden in said scandal.
4. A complete failure to understand a "meme."

Knowing your love for dictatorship, it was a best guess! I have no idea who that was, because it was shitty photoshop job! It's not racist to mistake a person country. When your favorite president says that Mexican bring their rapist and criminal to the border, that's racist, when he says why do immigrants have to come from shit hole country and not from northern Europe that's racist. Trump has been a poster boy for racism and yet you still don't have a clue what it is to be a racist. It still look like your fetish porn stash and your reaching pretty far to try to pass this off in order to cover your embarrassment of accidentally posting your secret fetish of your private stash in a mostly a big breast fetish site. There is no rule against posting gay sex scene, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this particular post. How is two naked guy making out with each other funny? Are you putting down gay people? Or are you into it yourself? I am giving you a pass that you would never be the type to make fun of gay people or be homophobic. So that leave me the pleasant option that you had a busy day and made a innocent mistake of posting the wrong picture from your private collection and that's okay by me.

We believe that a president that never got a approval rating over 50% and 29% on his last day of office didn't win the election. That the president incited a insurrection is being impeach is why we now have fences around the capital to fend off traitors that want to harm our country by white supremacist terrorist group funded by the GOP.

Satire from The Borowitz Report: "In Time-Saving Measure, Biden Signs Mile-Long Executive Order Reversing Everything Did" (https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/in-time-saving-measure-biden-signs-mile-long-executive-order-reversing-everything-trump-did)
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what aides are calling a time-saving measure, President Biden signed a mile-long executive order reversing everything the former social media influencer did.
“I kept signing executive order after executive order, and after a certain point I just said, ‘Come on, man,’ ” the President said.
Approximately fifteen football fields in length, the executive order is believed to be the longest in the history of such documents.
After Biden signed the directive, it was rolled onto an industrial-size spool, loaded onto a flatbed truck, and deposited at the Smithsonian Institution, where it will go on permanent display.
Explaining how the language of the executive order was crafted, Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, said, “We listed everything the former social media influencer did in alphabetical order and then added the word ‘not.’ ”

You do know those walls were put up by trump during the BLM protests when he was gassing unarmed civilians to get photo ops, and then bolstered after the insurrection on Jan. 6?
The walls in DC were all put up while trump was still in office.
Are you really so stupid you can't put 2+2 together on the timeline, or do you actually enjoy being ignorant? It's hard to tell with maga/right wingers these days, but those are really the only two options.

People sure do get uptight as hell in a damn "Funny" politics thread, jesus christ. They are f***ing memes.
You do know that Joe Biden is now the President and has the authority to dismantle those bolstered walls? You do know that instead, the Biden team is seeking to keep those walls all through 2021? You do know that Democrats are pushing for a permanent wall around DC?
You do know that I was pointing out the hypocrisy of someone saying "walls dont work" to then now wanting a wall for protection?
Are you really that stupid to not know that?
