Yes, SP and I had pizza last night. And Mom joined in but likely doesn’t remember. That makes me feel a little bit better about following some actually interesting things with something boring, which, let’s face it, the news always is. Even when I can find weird and creepy shit. You’ll see.
Birthdays. Yawwwwwn. Oh, here’s some: a boring and incompetent goddam president; a guy whose dick routinely needed oiling; a guy who really did transform music; a guy who was one i short of exclusion; the inspiration for Farmer Vincent; the guy who cursed Cleveland; and a guy who could once sing but now can’t, dammit.
On to the news!

Old Guy Music celebrates a birthday boy with one of his delightful songs from when he could still sing. And with Martin Barre sitting in on flute. I love this album, and this song should be better known.

Yahweh help me, I can still creak my way through just about all the songs on this album on flute and guitar.

Let’s see how well you can polish my monocle.
For Old Guy Music, I’ve posted some songs by LJ Slavin. It’s a pity that he hasn’t put out an album of his Tull covers- he does an awesome rendition of Bouree. And last time we saw him, he did a solo 20 minute capsule of Thick As A Brick. Chicago-area Glibs should seek out his shows, the guy is awesome, and an incredibly nice guy as well.

They used to have gun shows there.
Letters to the Local Rag: It Was The Weapon That Done Did It (Bonus Judas Metaphor)
Heh. Couldn’t even get the references right. It’s like debating with a screaming toddler that just now shat their pants.
Well they asked the weapon and it said it was somewhere else at the time, so I don’t know what else you want them to do.
I heard the gun invoked its 5th Amendment Rights under Citizens United,
Aww, it thinks it’s people!
I actually used “the gun was released on its own recognizance” in a comment of a local newspaper story where a local school cop (don’t call them “resource officers”) negligently shot his gun and the paper used the weasel language of the gun magically discharging all by itself.
A “resource officer” is the person who sets up the projector. “School cop” is the appropriate and accurate term.
Acktually a “resource officer” is the 24 year-old that makes 13 year-old’s dreams come true. I read it in the Post, so it must be so!
I thought that was the hotwife teachers.
Weapon’s what safety?
I’m sure it does have a safety.
[The] weapon’s safety.
Duh.
Don’t most guns except maybe muskets come with safeties already?
I guess I should have figured you autists would have beat me to it.
Well *pushes glassed higher on nose* the real safety is between your ears.
Heh.
White House officials had been signaling such a move for days, saying the President would prefer to have a political loyalist in the acting role until a permanent nominee is selected.
While Trump has said in recent days that he liked Gordon personally, officials said that he believed she was too closely tied to individuals in the intelligence world, such as former CIA Director John Brennan and even Coats himself, a theory some advisers pushed.
The executive in charge wants a department head who will faithfully implement his policies? Is there no end to the perfidy of the man?
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. She would have been acting director while Trump picked a replacement. He couldn’t take not having a political loyalist on the job even for a limited period of time. That says far more about him than her.
She’s a swamper and can’t be trusted. A day as acting whatever is too long for somebody who can’t be trusted.
Gordon’s abrupt departure, with only one week’s notice, and Trump’s longstanding hostility toward the intelligence community — which he has publicly derided, likened to Nazis and disagreed with — is likely to heighten concerns that the President may be trying to politicize agencies that are meant to stand apart from partisanship or politicking.
Tell me, Shirley, did it ever occur to you he might be trying to DE-politicize the agency?
When the Democrats are directly calling for the intelligence agencies to rise up and unseat a President, it’s a bit galling to listen to people claiming Trump is politicizing them.
It’s gonna be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere when the Dems regain power. I might be dead by then, God willing.
“concerns that the President may be trying to politicize agencies” in the wrong direction.
“Maguire’s deep military background and work at NCTC means that he brings to the job a welcome understanding of IC capabilities and experience with current policy and IC leadership. However, his assignment to the acting position means that NCTC is deprived of his leadership at a time when the policy community is grappling with the issue of domestic terrorism,” a former senior intelligence official said.
Trump is clearing away all obstacles to the Brown Shirt coup!
“NCTC is deprived of his leadership at a time when the policy community is grappling with the issue of domestic terrorism,””
Well it’s a good thing the military doesn’t do anything with domestic terrorism.
Letters to the Local Rag: Then I Guess You Won’t Mind Paying For Me Too
Fuck off Slaver! They’re gonna start tracking trash bins in my town to ensure that every bit of refuse goes to the proper place. The landfill. We’ve got tons of garbage that gets dumped out in the bush because the City started charging people to dump their own garbage. Someone is floating the idea of a plastics plant here that would employ 1000 people and the Council voted unanimously to ban plastic bags. Clown fucking world.
I’m sorry, paying to recycle? Captain Planet doesn’t take your old microwave lasagna tray and make it into a fuckin’ rainbow, genius. The idea is that someone somewhere buys the plastic or metal or glass because it’s cheaper than buying it new and then makes something with it to, you know, sell for a profit. If that’s no longer profitable, they don’t buy it, and now you’ve got piles of plastic pellets or whatever sitting around that nobody wants, which means that the company who makes money melting your old shampoo bottles down doesn’t want them any more, which means they go into the same heap of garbage as that week-old bag of tangerines you bought because you wanted to eat more fruit. Recycling isn’t magic, and it only makes sense if the shit you’re recycling is actually worth money.

Dude, Philly. FFS. A good friend of mine had a FIL who had season tickets for the Redskins and would take him to games pretty regularly. He went to a Redskins – Eagles game, and he told me it was absolutely insane. Like the stereotypes don’t quite cover it. A horde of dumb, half-literate mooks and their tacky harridans shitfaced before they even get into the stadium, picking fights with everyone they can see. Like if you had the cure for cancer, and then you saw Philly fans, you’d hide it just in case it would help even one of them live a day longer.
Also, and maybe this is my inner shitlord talking, in my remote mountain kingdom it will be illegal for wives and girlfriends to talk shit unless they’re physically involved in the fight. The penalty will be that the target gets three free hits.
I’ve been to games at maybe 10 or 11 stadiums. Philly was by far the worst experience ever.
I don’t blame the alcohol- when SP and I went to Lambeau, everyone was drinking more heavily than you can imagine and it was wonderful- I blame Philadelphians.
This same dude went to a Ravens game, and, reputations notwithstanding, he said that despite the beer and the fact that he was wearing a Sean Taylor jersey in a sea of purple he got some good-natured shit-talking and that was it. He went to a Packers game–these are all at Landover, mind you–and he said that people weren’t even talking any trash, they were all hammered and as sweet as they could be, like sheepish shrugs when their team scored type of thing. I fully believe there’s something mentally wrong with Philly fans.
Well, it is where my in-laws are from.
*cries into coffee*
My condolences.
Dude, it’s Philly. Baltimore has that tasty blue crab, Green Bay has all that yummy cheese. Philly doesn’t have any of those things. They got the Eagles. Antd that’s it.
I hear they have a nice cream cheese.
There was a Anthony Bourdain travel show other than No Reservations where he goes to Philadelphia, and of course the cheesesteak comes up. One guy on camera says something like, “The cheesesteak thing is so stupid. It’s like we get all excited because we figured out how to put meat and cheese in a roll.”
When reporting on the gaffe during a Thursday morning segment that aired on “Today,” Mitchell began by noting that Biden gave a “widely-praised speech” at the Iowa State Fair hours before his controversial remarks and how the Trump campaign is “seizing on a few words.”
“Everybody I had dinner with last night thought it was a great speech.”
“We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
Who’s this “We”, Joe? You think that. Not me.
I wish he had said “as talented as Asian kids”, that would have been awesome.
Never change, Joe.
I keep hearing about this white privilege shit and I swear to God, I wish somebody had told me about it. It’s like I just found out that some hot girl I went to middle school had a huge crush on me and would’ve like tattooed my name on her boobs if I’d told her I liked her. For real, I been po, and I’m white, so if there’s some number I’m supposed to call or something I’d like to damn well know.
Her father would have a few questions for you.
I mean, by my freshman year of high school I’d already hidden in a few closets and jumped out of a couple of bedroom windows, so my father-related survival skills were pretty well honed.

“And nothing else happened”
He was on suicide watch, yet managed to kill himself.
I wonder how much they got paid.
I’ve set a timer to see how long it takes before this is Trump’s fault.
But seriously, I’m not a prison guard, but my impression is that a person on a suicide watch has to be pretty damn inventive to kill themselves. You’re in a facility designed to keep people controlled and monitored 24/7. He’s a very high-profile person, I’m sure he wasn’t with the general population, and they obviously suspected he would try to kill himself. The report says he hanged himself in his cell, so presumably with sheets or his clothes, and died by strangulation. I have a hard time believing that at a minimum there wasn’t extreme negligence involved if not, dare I say it, foul play.
Did you read the replies?
“Oh. we were trying to prevent suicide?”
Literally suicide watch.
Whoops – I accidentally stabbed myself 15 times in the heart while shaving. Butterfingers!
https://youtu.be/QErQJ4A-who
Great suicide watch you’ve got going on there, Lou.
Who’s surprised?
The fact that many here predicted this, shows the level of contempt that our betters have for us.
Not just here. It was all over the internet. AND they still let him/offed him.
Now we need to keep track of mysterious deaths that will occur among his prison guards, their superiors, lawyers holding all his documents, etc.
So, does this increase his accuser’s credibility? Which, I thought I read, was a bit in question.
I bet that labor secretary former prosecutor who resigned for giving him a sweetheart deal feels like a shmuck.
Prince Andrew in the prison shower with a florescent butt-plug?
Worst game of Clue ever.
I guess the fact that the media hyped up his involvement with Trump means everyone will think Trump is behind this. ( As is seen in the replies)
I am amazed (though I shouldn’t be) about how many of the twits there are saying it wuz Trump and Dersh wot dun it.
Honk Honk
Can someone explain this meme?
Fucking clown world, dude.
You’d think this would help shine a light on how disgusting that prison is, but…hey…Clinton jokes and a legit awful person got to take the easy way out.
Here’s the deal:
It should be impossible to hang yourself on suicide watch. We have a psych unit where it is literally impossible to hang yourself. We could give every patient a rope and they couldn’t hang the sleeves, because there is nothing to hang from, nothing that a rope or whatever can be tied to or looped over. It’s not hard, just design and fixtures so that it simply can’t be done. It’s actually kind of fascinating.
So, NY is criminally negligent in not having hanging-proof cells, or the guards murdered him. Or both, I suppose.
Apparently “suicide watch” at that prison is done by follow inmates who take inmate companion training. That place is a well-known clusterfuck.
I can’t tell if you’re being serious, because that sounds unbelievable, which itself makes me think it might be true.
This.
We know Bill had an airtight alibi.

Welcome to the manosphere- Gateway to Hate
In all these strands of replacement theory, controlling white female sexuality and reproduction is vital. Women’s sexual and reproductive freedom are seen as threats to civilization itself. It is therefore not surprising that anti-feminism is an entry point to the online far right. “Misogyny is used predominantly as the first outreach mechanism,” Ashley Mattheis, a researcher at the University of North Carolina who studies the far right online, told me. “You were owed something, or your life should have been X, but because of the ridiculous things feminists are doing, you can’t access them.”
One recruiting ground is the collection of sites known as the “manosphere,” which the British anti-extremism charity Hope not Hate considered a serious enough force to include in its most recent “State of Hate” report. “It’s a very difficult movement to get to grips with,” says the Hope not Hate researcher Simon Murdoch. “It’s a very loose movement. And because it’s online, people are usually anonymous.”
The manosphere stretches from the kind of lukewarm anti-feminism that would pass virtually unremarked in a newspaper column through to glorifications of extreme misogyny. Although the manosphere’s leading figures have appeared at far-right events, and vice versa, the links between the two are more about an exchange of ideas than shared personnel.
As young men are drawn deeper into these online communities, the anti-feminist message transforms into one with racial overtones, Mattheis said. “Once you engage with the idea that a social-justice-warrior club and the feminist movement have increased the precarity of men,” she said, “that moves over time into the increased precarity and endangerment of ‘the West.’”
One day, you’re bitching about Title IX, the next say, you’re invading Poland.
Lemme see if I’ve got this: if I disagree with social justice Progressive talking points, I’m a neo-Nazi. Is that about right? So, “the concept of white privilege is itself deeply racist” is the same thing as “kill the mud people to protect the pure white race”? Cool, I’m sure this will lead to much productive discussion and not crazy people shooting up public spaces.
Then it’s a good thing June is such a lousy shot.

Somewhat related — I was heading to Kinko’s yesterday and saw that a local St. Paul business (on the corner of Selby and Snelling, for you Minnesota glibs) had its sign “vandalized”(*) — the name of its business had “Kill the Patriarchy” spray-painted over it in bright red.
(*)Scare quotes because I’m not 100% sure if it’s vandalization or something the owners perhaps had a hand in. I couldn’t find any sort of news story about it.
Kinkos is still around? Cool.

Re the Democrat who killed her husband.
It’s crazy what Trump makes people do.
After yet more mass shootings, the picture feels bleak. But there is some small consolation: the researchers I spoke with said that the links between anti-feminism and the far right are now being taken seriously. Understanding these links should help us tackle extremism. When I first started writing about sexist online abuse and anti-feminist memes in 2013, there was a widespread perception that these were purely internet-based phenomena, and therefore not serious issues. That view has receded as prominent women have been harassed offline through attacks coordinated and glorified online.
It is also now apparent that the memes and ideas spread by anti-feminists and other extremist groups have worked their way into mainstream politics. In 2017, Robert Fisher, a Republican state lawmaker in New Hampshire, resigned after the Daily Beast reported that he had left offensive comments on an anti-feminist Reddit forum called “The Red Pill.” A username linked to him had attacked women’s personalities as “lackluster and boring, serving little purpose in day to day life” and advised men to record their sexual encounters to avoid false rape allegations.
Mattheis, who studied the Republican debates during the 2016 presidential election, saw similar “false rape” narratives gaining purchase there. Early in his campaign, Trump framed the need for immigration around the specter of Mexican rapists. These incidents were a somber reminder that what starts in the manosphere now has real political power. Mattheis’s research interests, which were once dismissed as a fringe preoccupation, are seen as more and more legitimate. Gender has always been a factor in mass shootings. Finally, now, we are beginning to ask why.
Bias confirmed. It must be true.
There can be no criticism of your new female overlords.
The “manosphere”. But she’s not the crazy bigot.
I’ve been seeing more and more articles talking about the coming civil war since the latest round of mass shootings. With the left doing their best to put anybody to the right of center in the same bucket with mass murderers and Nazi’s and using language that ideologies must be expunged, I’m starting to see it as a more real possibility.
Also, John McAfee remains awesome:

Let’s move on, shall we. No sense dwelling on it. Let it all go.
Jeffrey who? Wasn’t he some pedophile who was friends with Trump or something?
That’s probably the best summation of the media’s coverage of Epstein I’ve seen
Except for that brief moment when they hopefully thought Trump might be an Epstein client.
“Wasn’t he some pedophile who was friends with Trump or something?”
Friends with Clinton, that’s the part that I immediately thought of. Suicide, yeah? OK?
“We’ll put it in the hole with Epstein.”
Phrasing?

“Mostly because his wife wouldn’t let him…”
Is that why his voice was so high?
I went to see JT last year and it was… depressing.
So Epstein’s dead…cue the conspiracy theories. That being said, it’s as suspicious as hell.
i mean it is almost hard not to suspect foul play
No shit: yesterday a list of people his testimony could put away forever comes out, today he’s dead despite being (I assume) on suicide watch.
Who leaves hanging materials in his cell? It is super suspicious.
Especially when he’s already on suicide watch and yesterday the names of prominent people started to come out.
LOL, my girlfriend just commented on how people with dirt on the Clinton’s keep ending up dead. ?
Two prominent Democrats were named yesterday as well as — most hilariously to me — British royalty.
Does this go into the Clinton Body count?
absolutely.

You can’t yell “Open fire!” in a crowded Walmart
A man who sparked panic by walking into a Walmart with a rifle and body armour told police he was testing his right to bear arms in public.
Dmitriy Andreychenko entered the shop heavily armed, days after a mass shooting at another of Walmart’s stores.
“I wanted to know if that Walmart honoured the second amendment,” the 20-year-old told police after his arrest.
Prosecutors have charged him with making a terrorist threat.
——
The store manager “believed Andreychenko came to the store to shoot people”, the police statement said, and triggered the fire alarm to evacuate customers.
Mr Andreychenko was held at gunpoint by an off-duty fire fighter, who was legally carrying his own weapon, until police arrested him.
Prosecutor Dan Patterson said that while residents of Springfield, Missouri, were allowed to carry weapons, “that right does not allow an individual to act in a reckless and criminal manner endangering other citizens.”
That man interfered with other people’s right to be free from hysterical overreaction.
Overreaction maybe but the guy’s definitely a dumbass.
While I think the guy is a moron, I do like the twists they have to make to ignore the fact that it was another person with a firearm who detained him.
Also if we locked up every moron….
charged him with making a terrorist threat
I don’t see the part where he made a threat.
“that right does not allow an individual to act in a reckless and criminal manner endangering other citizens.”
Walking with it shouldered? Or am i missing something?
told police after his arrest.
Prosecutors have charged him with making a terrorist threat.
Yet the guy walking into Walmart saying he wants a gun to kill large numbers of people was let go at the scene without even a psych evaluation.
Guns kill people, not people, duh.
Sigh.
So this is one of those…things. Yes, he has a right to carry a firearm in public. And yes, maybe the real problem is that people freak out when they see someone just having a gun because our culture isn’t, despite what some might think, a “gun culture”. And yes, maybe the way you change that is, like with anything else, exposing people to it and letting them see that there are no negative consequences.
But.
Part of being a responsible gun owner is not using guns as props. Walking into a Starbucks with a rifle slung over your shoulder to buy a latte, as an example, is the gun rights equivalent of the guy at the gay pride parade in a Speedo and rollerskates. This is not how you convince people who are nervous or uncomfortable or suspicious that you’re not a threat.
As an aside, this is also why I’m a huge proponent of concealed carry.
Yeah that dudes just an idiot.
Too bad the guy with the rifle at Starbucks doesn’t move the Overton movie the right way.
I remain unconvinced that this was not a malicious action or a prelude to one. The crazies are out there and feel emboldened by the current news feeding frenzy.

I don’t believe the shooters were in on a conspiracy to deflect attention away from Epstein, but would the media have acted differently if there was a conspiracy?

Sorry for the OT but I need to vent as my anger is reaching the employment of crew-served weapons level. My kids have been using the H2O GO! Blobzter for the past 2 Summers and absolutely loved it.

Upside: this may have inspired her career choice, weapons research for the Army.
I’m sorry. I’m sure it would have been easier if someone had destroyed/vandalized/stolen something of yours instead of something that belongs to your kids.
Indeed. I’m an old curmudgeon but I was not ready for the bairn’s innocence of human nature to be spoiled so early. They should have their bike’s stolen like normal kids.
*looks back on prior vandalism and shakes it off ruefully* That sucks, man. I’ll bet that the miscreants are your neighbors.
Probably neighborhood kids.
Probably neighborhood
kidsteenagers.FTFY.
Yes, that is what I meant.
I wouldn’t assume that. I’ve thought the same thing before when something like this happened, and then it turned out to be adult neighbors. Maybe somebody didn’t like the noise from the kids playing on the thing.
I blame Brooklyn, wifey blames the HOA. Our house is on the beach but only 4 blocks from the 1st beach subway stop so we get a tremendous amount of walk-through traffic. On the other hand, I caught a very Becky looking middle-aged lady (I’m assuming from the HOA) taking pictures of our and our neighbor’s yards a few days ago. Eh, la, la… Wifey just ordered a suite of giant yard/water toys and a padlock for our gate. Escalation is good defense right?
Full disclosure – When i was 14 or 15, I got busted for vandalizing a house under construction in my neighborhood. In lieu of getting the Sheriff involved, my parents gave me to the homeowners to work off 120 hours of debt labor. They worked me like a rented mule: uprooting palmetto stumps, digging utility trenches, laying sod, cleaning the job sight, moving their furniture in, etc.. It worked and I’m a better man for it.
There is something disproportionately range-inspiring about vandalism. To quote Vincent Vega, It’d been worth him doing it just so I could have caught him
Sorry 🙁
Fine I confess I did it

TW: Salon
The Justice Department suppressed a report showing that suspected white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terror incidents last year.
Reading that made me dizzy.
When we looked at our carefully crafted criteria, we discovered exactly what we were looking for.
Who leaves hanging materials in his cell? It is super suspicious.

Also. He was still fighting the charges and legal experts were saying there were issues with the Feds case that might be exploitable.

Is it Thanksgiving already?
Somewhat related — I was heading to Kinko’s yesterday and saw that a local St. Paul business (on the corner of Selby and Snelling, for you Minnesota glibs) had its sign “vandalized”(*) — the name of its business had “Kill the Patriarchy” spray-painted over it in bright red.
(*)Scare quotes because I’m not 100% sure if it’s vandalization or something the owners perhaps had a hand in. I couldn’t find any sort of news story about it.
Maybe it’s part of a back to school promotion.
Manosphere’s fault
More fom that Salon thing:
The request to the DOJ came after the Trump administration consolidated 11 categories it used to identify domestic terrorism to four. One of the categories was a catch-all “racially-motivated violent extremism.”
“This new category inappropriately combines incidents involving white supremacists and so-called ‘Black identity extremists,’ a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents,” the committee’s Democrats said in a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray. The letter said the senators were “deeply concerned that this reclassification downplays the significance of the white supremacist threat.”
—–
The Trump administration also declined to renew an Obama administration Countering Violent Extremism Grant Program and canceled the only grant specifically aimed at combating white supremacism. Since Trump took over, 85 percent of the DHS “Countering Violent Extremism” have instead targeted Muslims and other minority groups, according to an analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice.
Ah-hah! Another thumb in Obama’s eye. When will the madness end?
They need Trump to be a white supremacist. So they Cherry pick data and present it as the whole story.
so-called ‘Black identity extremists,’ a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents
White-supremacy is the only supremacy like only white people can be racist.

Cowboy Kent Rollins and I have to ask is he speaking in that old timey fashion for entertainment purposes or are there people in US who speak like that?
Yes, there are people who have that accent in the US. Quite a few different accents throughout the south.
Also, I would ham it up if I were him as well. Have you seen his wife that he met through his cooking classes?
Throughout the country. Not just the south
Yes. I was impressed.
for me it is not the accent as much as the expressions used
things is fixin to get hot? really?
Ayep, they really is, I reckon.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve heard that phrase.
That’s still common mannerisms in the South.
Yeah, the accent isn’t unusual, but I think he’s deliberately hamming it up.
Yeah, fixin’, or fittin’. I say “fixin’” pretty often.
“Fixin’” as an indicator of future tense is very common in parts of the south and Texas/Oklahoma. In the Northeast urban areas, the indicator is “ahmon” as in “Ahmon bust a cap in that guy’s ass.”
Or “fidda” which I assume is another take on “fixin’”.
Yeah, “fidda” or “finna” is a contraction of “fixing to”.
He’s exaggerating for effect a little, but probably not that much.
My in-laws speak like that. Rural east Texas.
If you want to experience a completely fake accent, look up old videos from Justin Wilson.
Not only are there are people in the U.S. who speak like that, there are people in the U.S. you probably couldn’t understand.
It’s called the state of Louisiana, and we need to build a wall around them to protect ourselves.
Having lived in Tejas, I can confirm that if its exaggerated, its not much.
His tamales are pretty legit.

We have a legitimate reason to be afraid of Patrick Crusius and his ilk because their deranged attachment to white supremacy causes them to kill people to bring attention to their cause. But I don’t think there’s much cause to fear the James Neallys of this world, because all they’re trying to do is shut you up. They don’t want people like me writing the things I write because it threatens their fellow white supremacists. In James Neally’s case, the white supremacist he’s trying to protect is the president of the United States.
——
We need a new definition of white supremacy. Segregation was white supremacy. Voter suppression is white supremacy. Opposing immigration is white supremacy. Banning Muslims, and transgender people and other religious and ethnic minorities is white supremacy. The white supremacists themselves are redefining their movement for us, with the “great replacement” theory, that immigrants and people of color are “replacing” white people with their very presence in this country. They are. Their own children are marrying people of races other than white and giving them grandchildren who don’t look like them. Seventeen percent of marriages today are of mixed race. Everyone knows that in about 25 years, white people will be in a minority in this country.
White people have used white supremacy for hundreds of years to justify making the rules, allocating the resources, determining who gets to go to college, who qualifies for what job, even who gets to own land and a house, and who gets to vote. White people have clung to whiteness as evidence of their superiority and power. But now they turn on the television, and they see mixed-race children in cereal ads, and gay married couples in ads for car insurance, and Latinos looking at washer/dryers that are being advertised. If everyone around you is turning black and brown, how do you tell who’s on top anymore?
That’s what’s driving Patrick Crusius to kill people in a Texas Walmart and James Neally to threaten my life. And it’s what’s driving Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson and the entire Republican party for that matter. Donald Trump goes to his rallies and jokes about shooting immigrants. He encourages violence and then enables it. The Republican party and the NRA want Americans to be able to buy military weapons of war like the AK-47 used in El Paso and the AR-15 used in Pittsburg and Sandy Hook and Parkland and everywhere else. They put on their coats and ties and they talk the white supremacist talk and walk the white supremacist walk and 40-plus percent of the public supports them and votes them into office.
This isn’t just about David Duke and the KKK anymore. It’s about President Donald Trump. It’s about Tucker Carlson and other enablers of hate on Fox News. It’s about who we are as a people and what kind of country we want to have. It’s about us.
He’s
ranting and raving aboutspeaking truth to White Power. Never saw that coming, did you?Death threats and vile hateful emails will not deter him from his noble mission of calling everybody who doesn’t agree with him a racist and a White Power stooge. The man is a true American patriot who loves his country and despises its President, as all of us should.
These fucks are going to create their hobgoblins if they have to do it themselves. Political violence, racism, they’re doing their damnedest to bring it to life.
They seem to be succeeding.
Opposing our policies is white supremacy.

Say, wouldn’t somebody on suicide watch be under video surveillance? If not, why not, in this day and age?
There really should be footage, but I bet there was a mysterious malfunction, darn it.
It’s being withheld, out of sympathy for Epstein’s surviving family.
About as reliable as cops’ dashcams & bodycams.
There was. THey say the camera in his cell malfunctioned. That’s what they are saying now.
I am not much of a conspiracy theorist type because I usually view the government as too incompetent for conspiracies.
But fuck. This is too much.
Is that what they’re saying now? Bullshit!
No conspiracy needed here. Just a good old fashioned jailhouse hit.
A jailhouse hit the guards were in on if the camera “malfunctioned” is a conspiracy.
Not all jailhouse hits are perpetrated by other prisoners.
They really don’t see any reason to hide their contempt for us. What an amazing coincidence!
Only the footage of Epstein alone in the cell hanging himself would make me consider that it was a suicide.
And that would only make me think that Epstein did the actual act himself. It would still leave open to him being pressured to off his himself.
I realize that we’re talking about a prison system that can’t keep inmates from buying heroin, but I would think that it would be possible to keep a famous person who is awaiting what is likely the most politically-charged trial in the past decade and who’s passing would certainly be regarded as conspiracy-based from hanging himself in his cell. I mean, you’re the guy running this facility. You’ve got Jeffrey Epstein. This guy has a list of rich, famous, and powerful people who will be implicated in a massive scandal with likely criminal cases to follow. This is the guy who, maybe literally, knows where all the bodies are buried. You run the damn prison. How do you not pick four guys you trust, put them on shifts, and tell them that their new job is making sure this guy is safe and sound until trial?
Sorry, Ted, I mean *whose.

Some days, you get the bear. Some days, the bear gets you.
Utah wildlife officials are searching for a bear that bit a sleeping 13-year-old on the face at a campground in the Moab area.
The incident happened Friday along the Colorado River in the Dewey Bridge campground, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said in a Facebook post.
“The young man was injured on his right cheek and his right ear and was transported to a hospital for treatment. We are currently working with USDA-Wildlife Services and using dogs and traps in an effort to capture the bear,” it said.
——
Officials found the bear’s tracks in the sand along the river. Because it attacked a human, it will be euthanized when it is located, officials said. The campground has been closed, and warning signs will be posted in the area.
While bears often attack out of surprise or defensiveness, they can also target humans out of predation, according to the National Parks Service. Unlike surprised or defensive bears, stalking bears are ready to attack at anytime, so the best option is to seek shelter or be prepared to fight with everything you have, NPS said.
Do you love nature? Nature doesn’t love you. Nature thinks you’re delicious.
Unlike surprised or defensive bears, stalking bears are ready to attack at anytime
What constitutes a “defensive bear” if not readiness to attack?

Larry Blackmon pulled it off.

Interesting point, kind of, but I don’t think the parallel is a great big dong.
It’s the idea that a woman wearing makeup is approximating the flush and redness that’s seen during sex. I don’t buy it, it resembles healthy youth to me.
In all seriousness, I think it’s both.

Meanwhile in other bear news
They probably don’t train people for this at the sheriff’s academy.
As in, having your patrol car struck by a falling bear.
Authorities say a Humboldt County sheriff’s deputy was driving on Highway 96 on Aug. 3, answering a report of a drug overdose in the community of Orleans, when the bear fell or jumped onto the car, apparently from a steep embankment.
The bear smashed the hood and windshield. The patrol car hit an embankment, rolled onto its side and burst into flames.
The deputy managed to escape without serious injury. The fire was contained to about half an acre but the car was gutted.
The California Department of Transportation noted: “Don’t worry, the bear also fled the scene.”
It’s bear terrorism, all the way down.
SURE there was a bear. Uh huh.
No dash cam or body cam footage? I’m calling bullshit and say the cop drove off the road until evidence is presented.

“Frankly, we need intelligent background checks,” Trump told reporters Friday. He added, “On background checks, we have tremendous support for really common-sense, sensible, important background checks.”
What all that means exactly isn’t clear yet. What is clear, from public opinion polling, is that Americans believe gun violence is a problem, and they support more restrictions on guns. That sentiment spilled over Sunday night when a frustrated crowd chanted “do something” at Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine following the mass shooting in Dayton. They eventually drowned out his attempt to roll out his plan to curb gun violence.
But, momentum for gun restrictions has fallen apart in the past — stymied by groups like the National Rifle Association — and there doesn’t yet appear to be a clear legislative strategy this time around. President Trump and Republicans will have a choice to make.
There is public support for universal background checks for gun purchases, extreme risk protection orders, gun licensing, assault-weapons bans and bans on high-capacity magazines. But many of these issues are hotly polarizing. While they mostly enjoy support from Democrats and independents, Republicans are not always on board.
Cast the spell!
Cast the spell!
Frankly, we need intelligent background checks,”
No we don’t. Repeal the Brady Act.
Kiss my ass Trump, if you sign a universal bkg check bill you won’t get my vote nor will you win reelection.
“Universal background checks” are the most ridiculous gun control canard. Nobody can be quite clear on what the hell they mean by them. It’s already the case that if you buy a gun from a store anywhere in the US you do an “instant” background check through the NICS system. Are they talking about transfers between private parties? In the states where they’re illegal they happen anyway. It’s completely unenforceable.
They are talking about private party sales, all sales would have to go through a dealer as well as, I presume, gifted firearms, loaned firearms, and inherited firearms.
Yeah. I don’t know who ordered it but this was straight up murder.
No wonder nobody takes us seriously.
A February NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, found less support for stricter laws covering gun sales, but still a majority (51%) were in favor. Another 36% said the laws should be kept as they are.
But, like Quinnipiac, when people were asked if they thought it was more important to control gun violence or protect gun rights, 58% said control gun violence, the highest in at least six years. Just 37% responded that it was more important to protect gun rights.
The mob has spoken!
I’m sold. Must be the alternative constitution amending process in the invisible ink section of the document.
Is it more important to protect Gay Rights or stop pedophilia?
It’s just as evil and as much of a non-sequiter.
Now do “hate speech”.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, it all depends on how the items in the survey are framed.
According to ZeroHedge, Epstein was not on suicide watch:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-10/jeffrey-epstein-dead-apparent-suicide
Also, do yourselves a favor and stay away from the comments, sheesh.
From the comments:
aturday the 10th is a good day for Epstein to die. The occult hocus pocus love **** like this. Saturn= Saturday.
“However, Saturn, like most power hungry individuals, quickly aged and forgot the c rimes perpetrated by his own father — crimes and misdemeanors which first brought him to fight the good fight. Saturn is so afraid of losing his hard won heavenly authority, that he eats five out of six of his children, as soon as they are born.”
THE DECAD. 10.
The Decad, number Ten, orPanteleia, which meant “All complete” or fully accomplished,” is the grand summit of numbers, which once reached cannot be passed; to increase the sum we must retrograde to the Monad.
The word Ten was used by the Hebrews, instead of “a large number,” so that care must be exercised in translating this; thus Nehemiah interprets “ten generations” of Deuteronomy xxiii. v. 3 to mean “for ever.” Nehemiah xiii. 1.
The Kabalists called 5, 6 and 10 circular numbers, because when squared, the result shows the same number in the unit figure, thus:
5 times 5 are 25 and 5 times 25 are 125
6 times 6 are 36 6 times 36 are 216
10 times 10 are 100 10 times 100 are 1000
**** completion-7:30=10 ( 7+3=10
Can’t argue with that…
All you can do is say “Wut???”

Re: the Epstein “suicide”
Just a couple months back I worked for a few days in the involuntary hold psych ward at the local hospital. My job was to replace the anti-ligature hardware they had on their doors with new and improved anti-ligature hardware. I was a bit dumbfounded by how someone could hang themself on the older stuff, but apparently there was some convoluted method that I suppose was theoretically possible. I’m having a hard time believing that the Manhattan detention facility didn’t have similar anti suicide measures. I’m looking forward to whatever details come out about this.
Sure you were “working”.
They even let me out for the weekends now.
The Epstein “suicide” is OMWC’s fault for calling his links post “boring” – from your mouth to God’s ears!
She has a plan
Democratic 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Saturday unveiled a sweeping gun control proposal that would see higher taxes on gun manufacturers, waiting periods for guns and an investigation into the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The Massachusetts senator’s proposal comes a week after the two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio that left more than 30 people dead and dozens injured. Warren begins her plan with a goal of dramatically reducing gun deaths and then proposing policies that would help achieve that goal.
“In 2017, almost 40,000 people died from guns in the United States. My goal as President, and our goal as a society, will be to reduce that number by 80 percent,” Warren said in a Medium post announcing the plan. “We might not know how to get all the way there yet. But we’ll start by implementing solutions that we believe will work.”
Warren proposes executive action to “rein in an out-of-control” gun industry and hold manufacturers accountable for gun violence. Those actions include background checks, extending bulk sale reporting requirements and raising the minimum age for purchase on certain guns.
—–
Warren goes on to propose a law that would impose criminal liability and jail time for gun company CEOS if their company “is found guilty of a crime or their negligence causes severe harm to American families.”
——
Part of that package would include as assault weapons ban, a ban on “high-capacity ammunition magazines” and a ban on “deadly gun accessories.” Her legislation would also increase taxes on gun manufacturers, including raising taxes to 30 percent on guns and 50 percent on ammunition “to reduce new gun and ammunition sales overall and to bring in new federal revenue that we can use for gun violence prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws.”
The Democrats with save us from the fascist authoritarian nightmare which is Trump’s America.
to reduce that number by 80 percent
Shouldn’t the goal, even if unachievable, be 100%?
hold manufacturers accountable for gun violence
People who aren’t committing crimes should be held accountable for those that are?
assault weapons ban, a ban on “high-capacity ammunition magazines” and a ban on “deadly gun accessories.”
