As you read this, I am likely on my way up to Las Vegas. Not to gamble- see, I was in math class the day they taught probability- and not to see a show- SP and I will do that in January, reliving our honeymoon by seeing Penn & Teller. It’s my son’s birthday, I haven’t spent his birthday with him in 10 years, and dammit, I need to, especially because it’s a reasonable drive from here. So you may be commenting without adult supervision. Behave!
Birthdays today, besides my son, include one of my favorite mathematicians; a famous flasher; someone who keeps us hopping; a nattering nabob; a guy who smoked millions and millions of bowls; and one third of perhaps the most famous folk trio ever.
News!
Guess I’ll have to get a hotel.

Good morning old man.
Tonio, I’m finishing up my post this weekend. Had some distractions this week.
The “When a Man Loves a Woman” link and the “Milk Bone underwear” link are the same.
Seems pretty similar.
I crowdsource proofreading.
Fixed.
Of course, morning links are always a gamble.
Or a gambol.
It’s occurred to me that Mary/White Indian was Elizabeth Warren all along.
Let’s see…wild fantastical claims: check. Complete avoidance of any arguments pointing out flaws in their position: check. Incoherent blather….yes, I think you’re onto something here.
Someone inform me what the WikiLeaks thing is about. Please tell me it’s a data dump from Hillary’s server or the entirety of the CIA’s logs from the last two decades.
Sigh.
This impeachment stuff is getting boring.
ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER IN HISTORY

The dwarf story is an interesting one, if she’s an adult she needs to go to prison for a bit and if she isn’t the same can be said for the adoptive parents. It’s a sad story no matter what the truth is.
“It doesn’t raise taxes on anybody but billionaires,” Warren said. “And you know what? The billionaires can afford it, and I don’t call them middle class.”
Whud them billunnairs ever done fer us?
I went on a long rant on this with the wife two days ago. They think that all this wealth would exist independent of who gets it. They wholey reject the idea of incentives, and think that as long as someone is left the “appropriate” amount rich, they won’t change their behaviors. They think that this wealth only benefits the owners, not that most of it is locked up in productive enterprises.
Zero Sum Game – If you have it, then I don’t
I’ve found asking “where do they keep it” over and over again works. Eventually you get “invest it” or ” in the bank”
You know, where people can get loans for businesses and homes, and how people expand industries and businesses.
Or “buy stuff”
You know, where “stuff” means people have jobs and businesses that cater to rich people.
That’s missing the benevolent guiding hand of government.
That’s true.
I even had to explain this to a person I know who builds luxury pools for rich people. He was very upset about those evil rich people until I pointed out his skillset would be useless without them.
And he’d make a lot less building normal pools.
Yachts always get bitched about, but they don’t build or staff themselves.
Billionaires hold their wealth in shares of companies, real estate, and other such assets. I can’t figure out who is going to buy these assets when they must be liquidated to pay Warren’s wealth tax every year. Who has the cash ready to hand? And it seems to be that such a forced sale will create a buyer’s market that will depress the price of the assets sold. How do they plan to calculate the tax owed? Is it based on the value pre-fire sale induced price drop? Or what?
I don’t think these people have thought beyond “those nasty rich people don’t need their money and we’re going to take it to pay for all our wonderful shiny toys”.
Given the insane amount of leverage out there, it would almost instantaneously collapse the credit markets. Warren would be known as the instigator of the Greatest Depression.
That may not be all bad for the long term prospects of the republic.
That’s all implementation details for the SWAT Teams with agencies to figure out.

Thank you for the video, OMWC. It reminded me of this group’s video.
Located in downtown San Francisco near Union Square (420 Mason St., for all you locals), the mural features Thunberg from the chest up — gazing straight into our souls, lips pursed.

@RBS @Leap. You need to put your orders in for diplomacy
I did. Took me a little to get started because I’m busy with work. And sick. And learning the rules.
If anyone would like to see an example of hamfisted corporate censorship in action pop on over to YouTube and search for “Eric Ciaramella Whistleblower” and then refresh for date posted. Id say it’s a shit show but there’s nothing to see and I mean nothing. I’ve never seen the wagons circled like they’ve done for this guy.
That was crazy. Even after it was reported at RT and Tass, I couldn’t find it. What are they thinking? If we don’t let anybody know who it is, they can’t dig up dirt on him. I don’t think that is the way the internet works.
Just do a regular internet search, there are hundreds of hits with his name front and center. I wouldn’t have known about it myself but Styx had a video on it this morning:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/qwTIXQPN83n1/
Styx is referencing this video today. I heard other people mocking it and figured it was probably just a little cringy. Nope. This cringetastic.

I just donated $175. Not only is Kamala campaigning but she’s grooming the next generation of leaders, many of whom are minorities. Every penny I give to her campaign is worth it.
If only she hadn’t given so many minorities an undeserved felony rap maybe they’d be able to put her over the top and, yeah, that’s so cringy I actually felt bad for her even though I shouldn’t.
“she’s grooming the next generation”
I thought we jailed people for that.
As a fun follow up, do a regular Google search for it after.
LALALALALALAAAAAA I CAN’T HEAR YOU
I’d think I hadn’t seen any evidence he’s the whistleblower, but the level of protection seems to betray it. I mean they could be doing this as a diversion, but that seems a bit much protection for the wrong guy.
But why so much?
Whether that is the individual behind this or not, it has been sickening. They’ve made a mockery of whistleblowing and people who should know better have rushed in to claim this is how it’s “supposed” to work. Meanwhile, actual whistleblowers still get thrown in jail.
They’ve now skinsuited whistleblowing.
Snowden haz a sad.
He’s a Russian asset, not a whistleblower
My theory:
Ciamarella is absolutely the least credible, most partisan, most compromised person who was even in a position to get double and triple hearsay to peddle as leaks or whistleblowing or whatever.
So it’s gotta be him.
This whole thing is so far removed from reality. These fucking clowns can’t even manufacture something with even the faintest veneer of plausibility.
Honk honk, motherfuckers.
???
If “everybody” already knows who it is, why doesn’t Trump name him at a presser? The media would have to cover that. And before they blame Trump for “endangering” the guy, Trump should cite all the prior media reports where he learned the guy’s name.
I can think of a few reasons.
He doesn’t need to, and doing so would just give his enemies another stick to beat him with.
Timing. Wait for the moment when he is most exposed/critical to the narrative, and then dump on him with great prejudice.
Is there any timeline in which Trump is vulnerable to anything they do? Not that he’s invulnerable, but that his attackers are like the Keystone Kops.
I agree.
Sitting back and watching it all unfold is a far better strategy. ABC/CBS/YT are doing his work for him.
He also personifies what is wrong with Washington and the phony elite. He’s 33 and holding senior positions. Bullshit. He should still be scrubbing toilets and making coffee.
And how is he still employed? Have any FBI agent interviewed him and asked if he’s the leaker? If so and he is, he’ll be charged and prosecuted like Scotty Libby, right?
Letters to the Local Rag: Voluntary ain’t got nuthin to with it
“It’s ridiculous for Republicans to call “Medicare for all” as some strange evil thing. All insurance is socialism. Yes, every single insurance is socialism. You and your group put some of your money together so if something bad happens, you have the money you grouped to pay for it; this is what insurance is. As a matter of fact, insurance is a perfect example of socialism. The bigger the group, the better insurance works.”
The flip flop between “socialism is public ownership of the means of production” and “socialism is just people pooling their means together” is stupid. Almost as stupid as thinking you’re smart when saying all insurance is socialism.
It’s like you never signed that social contact while you were in the crib.
There’s only one insurance company, and I’m forced to use it?
I’d like to note that by this construct, all gambling is also socialism.
And all investment.

So this week so we get a reprise of John Boltons stache?
This day still gives me the warm and fuzzies.
On 11/9/1989 it wasn’t really the greatest bureaucratic snafu of my lifetime, Günther Schabowski’s shambolic press conference. It wasn’t the masses of Trabants flooding the border crossings at about 8 p.m. It weren’t even the people climbing the Wall in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
Then a few lunatics jumped down to take a stroll under and around the Gate around 9.30 p.m. A platoon of East German border police showed up, AKs at the ready. Tiananmen Square had happened only a few months earlier that year and I thought ‚whelp, here we go‘.
The VoPos stood there for about 20 minutes, impotently, and fucked off again. East Germany was finished.
Great day.
Agreed. I remember it well. I was gobsmacked by all of it.
The whole lead up all year was surreal. I didn’t see any of it coming.
I was in college and it definitely created a stir. Outside of 9/11, it was easily the most significant event of my lifetime.
And yet, we still can’t seem to stamp out the pestilence of socialism.
Me too and I was so busy and of course no internet so it barely registered to me at the time. I wish I could have “enjoyed” it more.
My German ex was, at that time, going through final exams, so he’d been in a TV-free bubble. Came to his dorm after exams and slept hard. Woke up, finally turned on the TV to relax, saw the wall coming down and said “WTF??”
Same, but it is one of those things that still gets me in the gut when I watch footage and read the stories. I mean, I’m not sure I had the experience to understand it all then, anyway.
And of course, there was David Bowie.
Looks like the video doesn’t work, but here’s a good one.
I was visiting my relatives in Bavaria that summer. Pretty much the top story on the news every night was the tent city set up at the West German embassy in Prague because the East Gemans couldn’t get visas to Hungary after a group had stormed the Hungary/Austria border earlier in the year.
I was living in deepest darkest Bavaria that summer. Watching the “Trabbies” on the autobahn with the D and R cut off the oval and all the possessions they could carry and stuffed with people was surreal. Nobody new what was going to happen next. We heard about the wall opening and then were recalled. We were prepping to move to go to war positions when we got the word to stand down. The next few weeks were like in a trance wondering what would happen next.
The DDR hung on for a year. In fact the last DDR spy arrested by my town (Bad Toelz) happened in Feb 1990.
You were in Bad Toelz? I visited that town in 1987 (a friend was posted there). Happened to be there for Oktoberfest – great fun.
Small world.
Yeah, I was still in school and it was shaking my worldview that this evil empire and menace was folding like a cheap suit. The Berlin Wall where they’d shoot people trying to cross was being dismantled like a block party? Wtf?
I had just finished Infantry and Radio School in the Corps and transferred over to the Reserves. I thought “cool, now I won’t die in WWIII. A year later I was on my way to Saudi Arabia.
Chris Cilizza, public intellectual
Now, that is not to say that Biden and Bloomberg are interchangeable. They aren’t. In fact, at least on paper, Biden is stronger — largely because he has a demonstrated constituency among working class and minority voters. It’s hard to see how Bloomberg would, at least initially, have any obvious appeal to either of those groups. (Honestly, it’s not at all clear to me what Bloomberg’s “natural” constituency is beyond people who watch “Morning Joe” and ride Amtrak’s Acela between New York and DC.)
Bloomberg’s candidacy is born of the perceived weakness of Biden’s run — and the fear of what a rising Warren would mean for Democratic chances next November. That, Bloomberg believes, has created a realistic opportunity for him to wind up as the nominee — or at least to have a very real chance at winning.
Of course, opportunities may be less than they initially appear — or disappear before you can seize on them. The question for Bloomberg is whether he’s got enough time to turn that window of opportunity into something much larger.
Even Cilizza gets it. Who the fuck wants Bloomberg to be President? Aside from that idiot woman at the San Fran Fed, of course.
Bloomberg’s signature issue is guns. Even among Democrats, that’s not their highest priority.
He’s an old rich white guy. Ain’t gonna happen.
And soda pop.
Soda pop versus Corn pop.
Yeah. He’ll probably jump on the “ban vaping” train, too. Bloomberg: the limousine liberal’s premier choice for class warfare.
I suppose Biden is the one dem candidate that can lay claim to the African American vote. Harris? Bernie? Warren? Buttigeig? They all have some big problems in that area.
Bingo
Biden has the Bill Clinton demographic appeal.
I mean, except with Corn Pop.
You’d hope his very heavy involvement in writing the ’94 crime bill would eventually become an issue for him. The longterm damage caused by that makes Harris’s efforts long anemic in comparison.
Guys, you’re not making your case very well.
“ Who the fuck wants Bloomberg to be President?”
Let’s see, there’s Bloomberg himself and, I don’t know, is he married? His wife maybe?
Johns Hopkins U would love it. Bloomberg is their biggest contributor by an order of magnitude and they depend on federal contracts.
I’d vote for him.
I, too, would vote for him to be President of Romania.

Why don’t you do dropbox?
I don’t share naked files with people I don’t know.
So, because some people use it to share nudes, you won’t ever go to that site? I’m confused.
I mean I don’t accept files from a platform with a history of being a bigger hole for viruses than a seasoned prostitute.
I use Dropbox every day and I never heard that.
Ah. Gotcha. I’ve never heard of that issue. Wouldn’t every cloud-based file sharing site have the exact same problem?
It’s going to be ok for use with people you know and trust.
I saw a bunch of German law enforcement stuff. No idea why or how that’s important.
Let me guess; clicking on that dropbox link just put me on yet another list.
Yeah, what Tulpa said. ^
Democracy in tatters
Nevertheless, there are strong reasons why the retreat of democracy should worry us greatly. It means power is ebbing from a tried and trusted form of government — one which has brought peace and prosperity to the world. That power is being grabbed by charismatic autocrats and kleptocrats who win office democratically and then start rewriting the rules, or who just go ahead and steal it. The American model of government is being shelved, along with affinity to the United States in several countries.
So, what went wrong? And can democracy be saved?
There are several explanations for why democracy has faltered, some more plausible than others. Changes in culture and technology may be a factor. The decline in democracy coincides with the arrival of the first iPhones, ushering in a worldwide shift from people receiving news through national broadcasters — which have tended to unify opinion — to social media, which tend to polarize populations. Technology, and the internet in particular, has enabled dictators and authoritarian regimes to ostracize dissent, push propaganda and generally control information.
——-
For countries on the front line of the threat, such as Estonia, whose democracy has been actively sabotaged by Russia, internal reforms to protect against meddling are not enough. To be safe, an alliance of democracies needs to circle the wagons, aware that when one country becomes less democratic, neighboring countries are weakened in turn.
Elsewhere, the business of protecting democracy can be tortuous: It’s about slowly building up the fabric of a nation’s institutions— training journalists to ask tough questions, teaching political parties to campaign, keeping the judiciary independent — so they can act as they should when a crisis comes.
As Jefferson himself warned, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Democratic rights need to be treasured; they are far more easily given up than regained.
Boo hoo hoo, my fantasy Utopia (whatever that was supposed to be) didn’t happen. The wrong people have gotten hold of the reins. Walter Corkite would never have allowed this to happen.
The most surprising part is that Trump is never mentioned by name. I guess he’s just a lurking malignance in the disease of lumpenpopulism.
Estonia is a key battleground
Rule of law is so yesterday
What’s this putz’s view on he delays in bringing Brexit about?
My guess would be that the Russians subverted democracy through propaganda in this instance so ignoring that democratic vote is necessary to preserve democracy.
“charismatic autocrats and kleptocrats who win office democratically and then start rewriting the rules,”
Honestly, the time to slag the Obama administration was when they were in office.
Isn’t that exactly what the left has promised by vowing to get rid of the electoral college if they win,
They want to reduce everything to mob rule.
2007, yeah I would say that is a good place to place some blame, but probably closer to Bell’s phone.
Democracies always self-destruct. The Greeks showed us that a couple of millenium ago. That’s why the Founders designed a Republic.

Blame America first
Nahoma Jensen De LeBaron, the cousin of one of the nine victims of Monday’s massacre in the mountains of Mexico, said the cartels they suspect of the attack exist due to the demand for drugs in the United States.
“I believe the United States is the reason why Mexico has drug cartels, because they’re the biggest consumers,” LeBaron told CNN en Espanol on Friday before families buried more of the dead.
She said the problem wasn’t all Americans but there were enough people buying drugs to keep organized crime in Mexico busy.
——-
Six children and three women were shot and killed Monday on a remote dirt road in Sonora, an attack relatives and other members of the community think was targeted at the three-vehicle convoy.
Mexican authorities have said they think a criminal group is responsible.
That’s some top shelf police work, right there.
It’s not the demand, it’s the violent suppression of demand, that’s creating the problem.
“Mexican authorities have said they think a criminal group is responsible.”
Wouldn’t be the first time a government murdered outcast minorities.
Or the police are part of the criminal group.

My quest to make a little money off my stuff is paying off nicely, with people buying the oddest things I didn’t think they’d buy, but I did spend money on it once upon a time and there have to be more people with my taste out there. (You may hide in terror now.) I just threw out a bottle of cheap white wine I intended to cook with—5 years ago. I didn’t empty the bottle first because I don’t have a corkscrew. I love purging. Makes me feel like I’m shedding baggage. Oh, wait …

Here’s the thing: These are things that actually meant something to me once. They aren’t things I hate, just that my feelings about them over the years have changed or faded. I have a lot of my gma’s knickknacks. Now, that gma was kind of cruel to mr sometimes but I kept her stuff anyway just because they were part of my very young childhood and they are pretty. But I already have too many knickknacks than I can display, and I have more feelings for those.
Or they’re things I bought for a ourpose, but never used it for the purpose.

From the comments:
“This new version sounds like he’s trying to throw out his side chick before his wife gets home…”
The lyrics make no sense and are completely detached from the original meaning of the song. Where the original was nuanced and a play on the art of seduction and love, the remake has the protagonist taking things literal. ie ‘I should go’ ‘Ok, I’ll call an Uber!’ While the woman is portrayed as some kind of pseudo-antagonist. It’s really weird and makes me wonder if they even believe the words they sang. I’m guessing no because it’s utterly charmless and no amount of moaning to the words in a sexualized manner will hide that fact. It’s like putting cologne on bad BO.

RE: Bizarre Ukrainian adoption story.
That whole thing sounds like fake news. They could easily look at her teeth or her bones today to confirm her age. FWIW, she looks about 30 in the pics. Dr. Phil’s ratings must be down so he had to come up with some bullshit story to raise them.
Both sets of adoptive parents claim to have medical evidence of her age, the ones who abandoned her convinced a court to change her age, whether that was through good evidence or a shitty judge, I do not know.

What have those guys actually done for you?
Ahead of his Atlanta kickoff event, Trump’s critics called him out for failing to produce results for black communities.
During a press conference, Nikema Williams, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, said Georgia Democrats were committed to not only “fighting against Trump and his cronies” but to giving black Americans “something to fight for.” In a video posted on Twitter, Congressman John Lewis said Atlanta is “too busy to hate.”
For many black voters, there’s little Trump could do or say that would make them cast their ballot for him, but Theodore Johnson, a senior fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, told the Times that the outreach campaign may not be about winning voters over. According to Johnson, it’s possible that the goal is to try to discourage enough moderates to not vote for the Democratic nominee, therefore giving Trump an edge.
“I absolutely think this is about creating doubt in black voters’ minds about the Democratic nominee,” Johnson said, adding that it would make them feel like “there’s almost no one worth voting for.”
How devious. Something tells me there are a lot of black men and women who don’t want to be the property of the grievance mongers in the “Black Political Leadership”.
Some of them might stay home, and some of them might vote for Trump. Especially if the alternative is some deranged howling socialist.
What have
those guysthe Romans actually done for you?All projection, all the time.
“it’s possible that the goal is to try to discourage enough moderates to not vote for the Democratic nominee”
MUH VOTER SUHPRESHUN
Trump’s critics called him out for failing to produce results for black communities.
I guess the lowest black unemployment rate in generations doesn’t count.
I suspect, though, that their view of “black communities” doesn’t include people who are self-sufficient, trying to live the American dream, etc., but is limited to those grifting off the government in one way or another.
Dude, employment is just like slavery. You ain’t woke. Gimme muh ghetto back!
Seriously, a couple of my clients are involved in a program where they give kids from poor neighborhoods an internship in IT and I’ve worked with several of them. It seems that their #1 goal without exception is to move the fuck out of the shithole the Balmer democrats have kept their families in for decades and get a job. Funny shit, that no dem candidate for president right now would believe, but true none the less.
The black unemployment — in fact all good economic news — is the sole responsibility of the Light Bringer, Barack Obama. If not for Trump, things would be even better.
— actual argument some people are making —
But “they gonna put y’all back in chains” is just good politicking.
Translated ‘They ain’t gonna keep you on that plantation we made for ya’ll’.
Man, they got old man Drumpft this time! Anonymous For President!
“I won’t reveal my identity, or enough detail to make anything verifiable/falsifiable. #BelieveMe. #WithoutEvidence.”
It only takes a small number of folks in a couple of toss up states to believe this crap. If every real or manufactured outrage against or by Trump peels off another 5,000 voters who’ve “had enough” then Trump’s re-election is in trouble. I talked to someone on Friday who is even willing to vote for a Dem socialist shithead just to get Trump off the national stage.
Apparently “I’m embarrassed by my president” now trumps “We don’t need more socialism in America.”
There were a number of people who said the same thing in 2016. It’s turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people ignored Trump’s twitter and just went about their business, this would have been an uneventful 3 years.
What we don’t know, and won’t for awhile, is what the backlash is.
The kangaroo court for Kavanaugh preceded Republican losses, so there may not be much of one.
I have never been so thankful that our assets are as mostly as tax-sheltered as its possible for them to be. If not this election, then the one after or the one after that, the Dems will seize power, and when they do, its going to be a rough ride. Very rough.

That’s different from any other day how?
By the way, my coffee is boozy.
Laffer said that the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful’s tax plan was the exact formula used in the 1930s when the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was signed into law and the economy started collapsing.
I think that’s the intention.
Old Guy Music is good.
I was wondering the other day just how much of Warren’s fascist plan to transform the economy was cribbed from FDR.
My coffee wasn’t boozy, but today I need to finish cleaning some kegs, clean the tap lines, and keg up a porter for Thanksgiving.
Got done my main weekend gotta-do – Went up to the neighborhood BMV office & arrived about ten minutes before they opened. There was already a line of about a dozen people, but once we got inside things moved pretty quickly. Had to renew my driver’s license and tags, and went with the standard DL and not the “Real ID” because I’ve been married twice, changed last names both times, but I don’t have copies of the marriage licenses to prove it. I don’t really care – I haven’t flown commercial since 1983 and have no plans to do so. If I can’t get into a Federal office building after next October’s deadline and somehow have a need to do so, I’ll worry about it then. I may be just as happy to have the excuse not to go in.
Nearby fancy wine store wasn’t open yet when I left the BMV, so I went up to Meijer grocery. Actually found a local blush to enjoy this evening while shitposting here.
That is my exciting, whirlwind weekend life.
I helped Dad buy a half ton of ice melt.
That is my exciting, whirlwind weekend life.
Please.
I’m finishing up a second cup of coffee before I head out to deal with what’s hopefully the last of the leaves. Except for my magnolia. That fucking thing holds its leaves until December. Pretty, but a total asshole.
Our magnolia – right beside the driveway – drops its leaves all at once and did so within the last day or two.
You speak the truth. When it drops its petals after blooming in the spring, we have to shovel them off the driveway. Pretty on the tree, but thick & sticky on the ground.
I do like how early it blooms. The white flowers during a light snow are gorgeous.
But I will never plant one of these things (it was here when I moved in).
I’m still on my cup of boozy coffee. Before the coffee, I started laundry and got my grocery shopping done. I’m working inside today, which I will resume once I finish the boozy coffee.
I’m putting off leaf work until Monday. I’ll be cleaning leaves up until Thanksgiving. The oaks in the neighborhood hold their leaves. Some will hold onto a few leaves until Spring. Oaks are like herpes in some ways, they just keep on giving. But unlike herpes, you can get rid of oaks.
My magnolia is done and dropped all its leaves. My silver linden and sugar maple are holding onto their leaves. The maple is odd, I think it’s the only maple in the neighborhood that still has leaves.
Four words: Sugar gum spikey balls.

My convalescing cat wandered out of my office today and into the rest of the condo, so I’ve moved her bed and littler box out too. We’ll see how she does in genpop now with the other two cats (one of which was a litter mate). I believe she got her feeding tube caught on something Thursday night/early Friday morning because she had pulled it out of her neck. Seems okay, but that gave me a good wake-up scare, so I clipped the ends of the tube off and just left the bandage around her neck, which she is now slowly trying to destroy.
Sigh.
Poor kitteh! Hope she gets all better.
…And home Internet is fakakta, so I’m stuck on my phone. Appt with cable guy this afternoon.

Fun with numbers
Warren’s campaign later followed up by releasing a “Calculator for the Billionaires” who “seemed confused about what they’d pay” under Warren’s wealth tax, which would rise to 6 percent on fortunes large than $1 billion. There was even a special button for Gates, who would apparently owe $6.3 billion.
It was a funny, light troll of Warren’s critics, the implication being that they’re vastly overreacting to her proposals, out of fear for their wealth. But here’s the thing: Gates was pretty clearly right when he said he would pay $100 billion under Warren’s tax. Not in a single year, but over time—which is what he was talking about. Gates is currently worth around $101 billion. If you assume his net worth would naturally grow by 5 to 8 percent annually pre-tax, then it would only take him about 15 years, give or take a couple, to pay $100 billion under Warren’s plan.
Gates’ fortune would also be far smaller today if there had been a wealth tax in place around the time he founded Microsoft. Under a 3 percent tax, like Warren originally proposed before upping the ante recently, the man would only have been worth $36.4 billion in 2018, according to Berkeley economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, aka the wealth tax guys. Under the more aggressive regime favored by Bernie Sanders, who has proposed rates as high as 8 percent, Gates would only have had $9.9 billion to his name, a reduction of around $87 billion.
Ceteris paribus. Assume a can opener.
The really funny part is that the middle class will pay most of the burden, until there is no longer a real middle class. But it’s like all the rest of their ‘equity’ solution. Doesn’t matter how poor you will become as long as everyone else is equally poor. Except for Warren and her cronies, they’re more equal than the other animals, of course.
And we fought a war over less shit than that. Better equip that tomahawk, Lies with Bullshit White Squaw, you gonna need it.
And we’d still be banging away today at WordStar for DOS in that fantasy-land.
So, the Warren campaign only calculates based-on the 6% surcharge, not all the other taxes, including unrealized capital gains? CNBC ran the numbers – even they missed some taxes – and calculated over $16B for year one.
Doesn’t matter, she left out the part about a 60% income tax and a 25% VAT tax on the middle class. Just ask Europe.
Yep, plus financial and credit market impacts which will hit everyone even if “only rich” are invested in stocks.
Bullshit. The crushing effect of a wealth tax on the stock market would ensure he had next to nothing.
Why the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich Craze Quickly Morphed into Black Shaming
Just another PEOPLE BE RACIST!1 story, but now we don’t only have food deserts, but also food swamps!
They need some whiteys around to show them how to behave and eat properly.
“Studies have found”, dammit! ITS SCIENCE, YOU KNUCKLEDRAGGING TRUMPTARDS!
When I was a kid, eating out, even to a fast food joint was only for a very special occasion. Because we were actually poor.
No kidding. We weren’t poor, but going to A&W for a burger and frosty mug of root beer was a real treat.
Only in America is having the ability to buy a hamburger for a buck means you’re oppressed.
Ditto.
This is a thing?
OFFS. What a steaming pile of horseshit of an article.
I don’t think there is a Whole Foods within 100 miles, and I don’t even know what those after the ‘and’ are.
Au Bon Pain is a fancy sandwich shop – they’re all over here. And probably just as “unhealthy” as evil fast food if you want it to be.
I have set foot in a Whole Foods once in my life. Because we were having a picnic in Central Park and it was right there.
Whole Foods has its uses. Especially when its next to a yoga studio. Aside from that, the one near us has a decent beer selection, a good butcher and seafood section, and some specialty items.
Its pretty clear, though, that they are making their money with their deli, prepared food, wine, and the bar.
I think the only Au Bon Pain that I’ve seen around are on freeway rest stops. You know, real lap of luxury types of places.
Yeah, I was always under the impression that they’re as high class as Sbarro.
But the name is French. That has classy written all over it.
All wypipo are rich and snobby. They’d only eat fried chicken if their personal chef made it.
I wish I had a Popeyes on my corner, I’m starving and that’d hit the spot.
Just move to a Balmer ghetto. Don’t worry, if there ain’t a Popeye, there will still be a Chicken and Trout, or Chicken and Soul Food, or Chicken and Soul Food and Trout, or Chicken and Chicken and Fried Chicken place on every street corner. Oh and no one really knows what the trout is, but it ain’t trout and it tastes like chicken.
Around here the ghetto chicken chain is Kennedy Fried Chicken. And they’re all run by Bangladeshis.
South of Balmer there’s Hip Hop Fish & Chicken. No joke.
Oh and no one really knows what the trout is, but it ain’t trout and it tastes like chicken.
To be fair, you probably don’t want to eat anything that’d come from the water around Baltimore.
Or, only large corporations can afford the exorbitant regulatory costs of doing business in the city.
Four words: Sugar gum spikey balls.
You’re obsessed with David Bowie.
Let it go.
I had to explain my gasping-for-air cackles. Face-palmed and shook his head wearily.
I can’t see Black voters getting enthusiastic for a bossy white lady like Warren or Bloomberg.

You’re just being racist!

Behold, the power of memes:
Kanye for POTUS 2024
Wut? How? You ain’t woke nuff to be a democrat, Kanye, and you know that GOP wanna put you back in chains!
Now, I ain’t sayin’ he a gold digger, but he ain’t messin’ with no broke niggas.
I’d take Kanye over anyone in the Dem clown car any day of the week.
#MeToo. Which is why he can’t be a democrat.
I can only imagine. Kanye wins the election as a Republican. Then blacks would see how the Democrats openly call him a House N-word, and an Uncle Tom.
It would be hilarious if Kanye were the first (actual) African American elected president.
Things you can’t do in a new car.
“Like snuggle up with your sweetheart, for instance.”
Yeah, for sure, because new cars don’t have back seats. Hell, I can put a queen size mattress in the back of my SUV if I put the back seats down.
You also can’t give a your husband a hummer while he’s driving.
Ooops. I didn’t mean to post that.
LOL
Hmm….
You need to tell my wifey that. She say you lie.
Sure I can.
What you also can’t do — ride around in the bed of a pickup truck with no seats and no seatbelts.
I remember doing that when I was a kid.
And just after I hit post, I remembered something.
The last time I saw anyone riding in the back of a pick-up truck on public roads was about five years ago. I was in central Pennsylvania for a festival, and saw some guys riding in the back of a pick-up. I thought, “Good to see it is still legal here.” I mentioned it to a friend of mine that never left Pennsylvania.
He said to me, “You’re out of touch. It’s illegal here now. It’s a good thing the cops didn’t see those guys.”
I did a little digging. According to this post, as long as you are over 18 and driving under 35 MPH, it’s OK in Pennsylvania. Maybe my friend didn’t remember the law correctly.
Look at my post below. I still see it all of the time.
Still legal to ride in the open bed of a pickup in Hawaii. This amazes me since they love to nannystate.
It’s not even been a week since I saw some ‘undocumented migrants’ doing that in downtown Baltimore. But, those of us who are subject to laws and stuff, no we can’t do that now.
We used to ditch high school. Climb in the bed of Jim’s Datsun pickup truck, and take the 70 or 40 to Indianapolis. We’d run around Broad Ripple and go record shopping and smoke cigarettes. There was a Mexican restaurant that would serve us beer. Then, back in the pickup and head home. The good old days.
And there was another reason to keep your headlights off in the daytime – so that emergency vehicles, motorcycles and funeral processions stood out from the pack. This was safer for everyone.
Bullshit.
I’m getting really old, I’ve been listening to Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan all morning. Get off my lawn!

Hmm…Brexit or no, the UK is seriously fucked.
Brexit will definitely change a lot. Which is why the lefties are fighting it like an unwanted American presidential election.
There’s only 2 words, though, to fix the UK. Nigel.Farage. Nuff said.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is their only hope.
Let’s be honest. The only real difference between here and there is we’ve got a lot more space.
And prettier women and better teeth and food.
There are a lot of gorgeous UK women.
lol no
Come on, the food isn’t that bad. The full English breakfast at least is the shit.
Yeah, fried tomatoes, baked beans and black pudding in the morning sure is a delight.
You disgust me.
I picked the last of my green tomatoes last night. Going to fry those up today. It got down to 30 last night. Plants look to still be alive, but there’s no way those we’re going to ever ripen.
Whilst visiting merry olde England, the only thing that saved my bacon (at least 3 rashers) was corn flakes and McDonalds. I find British food nearly inedible. Bangers and hash. OMG no. Give me SoS.
We stopped in a little diner in Piccadilly. I ordered steak that came with spaghetti. Who does this? Anyway. The steak (ordered rare) was well done. I think it was flank. And Chef Boyardee makes better spaghetti.
Corn flakes and McDonald’s.
And we all know that leather is preferable to a well done flank steak.
No, there’s more. For one, we didn’t have Teresa May for PM for several years. Also, even though they want to overturn an election here, they haven’t been able to, like they’ve done there with Brexit.
Imagine a hell in which Tereas May, Angela Merkel, and Hillary Clinton are the leaders of the west. We narrowly avoided that. Just keep that in mind.
After the checks had cleared, the leaders of the West would be Xi Jinping, Vlad Putin, and probably a cast of other klepto-tators.
I think free speech is pretty safe here – especially if Trump gets to appoint another SCOTUS justice or two.
Just imagine the delicious teas when Trump is reelected in 2020 and RBG takes the dirt nap.
I know that a lot of Glibs are not fans of Trump at all, and neither am I, really, but we’re not getting Rand Paul for president, so I’d like for someone to name a better prospect, because it sure as hell is not any of the democrat candidates. Oh, I forgot about Bloomberg, the guy who got the Nanny of the Year award at TOS for several years, now that he’s throwing his hat in the ring. He’d save us from big sugary drinks and plastic straws, that’s right up there on my list of freedoms I’d like to keep.
“teas”

Earl Gray or GTFO.
Yeah, I’m in the same place with Orange. He’s terrible – and far better than anyone else viable.

Watching Shelley Winters Go Rogue in Debbie Reynolds’s 1983 Exercise Video, “Do It Debbie’s Way”
My God.
I’ve always loved this photo of Debbie Reynolds fishing. https://www.allposters.com/-sp/Debbie-Reynolds-Fishing-Posters_i10302685_.htm
All the photos from that photo shoot are great. She looks great in a bikini, goofing around the beach in Malibu. The All-American Girl.
She was a very pretty woman.
Good lord.
Now I have a desire to watch Singing in the Rain yet again.

For whatever reason, she has just never jiggled my handle. She’s udoubtedly really good looking, but just no smolder, no chemistry, for me.
I’m sure she’d be crushed to hear it.

I’m watching TV. I see a trailer for an intriguing TV show. It has to be pretty extraordinarily intriguing for me to want to watch it. Then I find out it’s on Facebook Watch. There are 2 shows on Apple TV I want to see.There’s one on Disney+. There are a few on Netflix. There’s one on Hulu. There are 2 on YouTube Red.
I have Amazon Prime, but the things I want to watch require subscriptions to other services. Starz has the most I am interested in. Some of the HBO shows are free on Amazon Prime, but not all. Amazon Prime has good stuff, but the less popular ones get cancelled in the middle, too.
This is bullshit. I’ve been complaining for years that TV doesn’t offer intriguing stuff. Just the same medical, fire, police, political soap operas, and stupid sitcoms all the time that aren’t going to be cancelled after 6 episodes. Eureka. Dead Like Me. Things I could access without signing up for 6 other services besides the one I already have.
I am getting very frustrated with this. It’s stupid, I know, but good stories are catnip for me. I usually drop out after a couple of episodes, but I’d like the chance. Mind, it’s not about the money (which of course is a consideration), but I don’t like having too many individual accounts with too many passwords and I just want to be able to change the channel and not have to worry about which show is on which service.
I’m resigned to the fact that I’ll just watch what is available to me. I’m not signing up for a dozen “services” either. I already have cable and if I drop that it’s going to be for something with a lot of sports like fubo – which comes with a handful of popular (you guessed it) cable channels.
The instant I hear something is on a streaming service, I drop out.
Yeah….I’m so far behind on TV (just watched GoT season 3 on blu-ray last week) that while my interest is piqued (still want to find Hellstrom somewhere) I can easily wait to catch something whenever (shotgunning the Boys on Prime was the exception this year – I still haven’t even watched Tick season 2 or Man in the High Tower S3).
Prime and Netflix (streaming + discs) pretty much cover all my bases between the dvd rentals, and my other purchases.
Thanks for reminding me. Man in the High Tower season 4 starts 11/15.
Yeah. And some, Netflix comes to mind, try to make it harder to find stuff that you actually want to watch in favor of what they want to push and what they have.
I subscribe to Starz through Amazon prime. Integrates nicely with a firestick.
I don’t have a firestick and I have no intention of getting one.
My point is that it’s all too much effort, never mind the money.
Some shows just have to be Put in a Locker, am I right?

Man in the High Tower-
Maybe I’ll re-watch the previous seasons, to prep for the grand finale. I need something to watch.
Steak and eggs for breakfast. Screwdrivers. I’m watching football; well I’m watching a movie about football, “The Last Boy Scout”. Gonna walk in the rain to a brewery, and have a couple of pops. Then I’m gonna rewrite a report. And start a second report. And roast a big fat chicken. It’s going to be a good day.
Please tell me you also had hillandaise sauce to go with.

Best beverage ever.
No Hollandaise. Just leftover roast beef and runny, runny eggs. The yolk is the sauce.
