I was actually sticking up for Sleepy Joe Biden while on foreign soil. Kim Jong Un called him a “low IQ idiot,” and many other things, whereas I related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer “low IQ individual.” Who could possibly be upset with that?

Q. Cheater, cheater … awesome fella? For the past six months, my husband has been distant, secretive, and impatient with me while also being in frequent contact with his cousin’s wife. I assumed there was an affair, but it turns out that he was helping her to leave a domestic abuse situation, and she had sworn him to secrecy. They both swear that nothing happened, and I believe them.
The problem is that it doesn’t help. For the past two months, in my head, I’ve been emotionally on my way out the door. I’ve talked to lawyers, investigated my options for rentals closer to work, and been unhappy but ready to leave. Now that I’ve discovered I was wrong about my husband, I still feel ready to go. He doesn’t understand, since he was actually doing a really good thing. Which he was, but at the same time he lied to me and let me feel terrible—and he knew I thought he was cheating—in service of this good thing. In addition to being emotionally divorced already, I’m quite angry too. I know it was for a good cause, but I still feel like he reverse-gaslit me by letting me believe he was a cheater and then doing the “Ha, you misjudged me!” reveal.
My mother and sister think I’m being ridiculous and that he’s a hero. My dad thinks that your spouse’s well-being should come before anyone else’s and I am better off without him. I don’t know. It feels ridiculous to leave someone because you found out they’re not cheating. I know the answer is going to be couples therapy, but I want to know if I’m in the wrong or not before we go in there. I’ve felt “ganged up” on a lot recently, with everyone saying how good a guy my husband is. I mean, he is—but maybe not a great husband?
Reverse-gaslit. smdh
He helps his cousin-in-law out of domestic abuse situation, keeps his word when the CiL asks him not to blab about it and then tells his wife everything when he can. What a fucking asshole, right?
When Colin Bundschu first started at Rockstar Games in November of 2014, he says his new colleagues offered a warning: Don’t cross Jeronimo Barrera. Barrera, the vice president of product development, would often fly in from New York to visit Rockstar’s offices in Carlsbad, California, where they were all working on the Western game Red Dead Redemption 2. Bundschu was told to be cautious when Barrera came to town. Mind how you talk to him, multiple coworkers and managers said. Barrera, one of Rockstar’s top executives, had a reputation for screaming at people, and there were rumors that he had shouted at staff who’d rubbed him the wrong way, telling them they were fired.
So Bundschu wasn’t sure what to do when, at a work gathering shortly after he started, he says Barrera groped him, asked Bundschu to sit on his lap, and rubbed his inner thigh area. These allegations about events from 2014 are being made public for the first time today, but in the days after the incident allegedly happened, Bundschu filed a report to Rockstar’s human resources department and told at least four other people. After an HR investigation that involved speaking to Barrera and others present, and following a dispute over whether Barrera had denied the accusation or told Rockstar he didn’t remember, the company ultimately found Bundschu’s account to be unsubstantiated. A few months after that, Bundschu left Rockstar, and eventually, he exited the video game industry.

That Trump tweet is the best thing ever. Of course the first response is how Trump is gaslighting us. Because it is obvious that Trump is trying to lie to everyone. It’s definitely not the side that uncritically spread the lie that he prefered Kim to Biden.
Dammit, Leon! I thought I’d get first this time, for sure!
You got to get up early to beat me procrastinating getting out of bed to go to the gym
It’s a beautiful thing. We should all aspire to such linguistic jiu jitsu.
Whoa. SF is up and at ’em early today.
And now Don’s back to “sleepy” Joe Biden? I Was really hoping “creepy” would stick
“Sleepy [eyed]” is supposed to be a code word for (((you-know-who))), but Biden is Catholic. Trump got called out before for using the term “sleepy” to refer to a Jewish guy, so maybe he’s trying to rehabilitate the term. Or just fuck with people.
Best timeline ever, people. Well, except for that one with President Goldwater.
I thought “sleepy-eyed” was a code word for Robert Mitchum.
Huh, I did not know that. I was going to say I prefer “Sleepy Joe” to “Creepy Joe” – but not with that connotation hanging over it.
I am going to need some serious citations that is even close to true before beliving it. And Even then, given that almost no one knows that some people somewhere used the term in that way, I’m not going to regard it as such.
??
I’ve never heard that. I thought “purple Jew” was obscure, but sleepy eyed must be some next level shit.
Also Woot! Hour early links!
These are like super early. Wonder if these comments will stick…

We just have to adhere to common decency.
It would be tacky if they didn’t.
Idiot used to be an actual diagnosis. The “slow” (mentally retarded) used to be sorted into three groups: morons (highest IQ, capable of functioning in society with minimal support), imbeciles, and finally idiots (lowest IQ, require constant support).
Look at the savant here.
I see what you did there, Mister…
It takes a village…
That idiot is acting like an imbecile. Good for him.
Her dad almost had it correct:
…and
I amhe is better off withouthimme.Yeah….I was going to say “run good man and husband, run!”
….to the cousin’s wife?
That would seem…ill-advised.
The problem is that it doesn’t help. For the past two months, in my head, I’ve been emotionally on my way out the door.
Yeah, you should probably leave him. He deserves better.
I know the answer is going to be couples therapy, but I want to know if I’m in the wrong or not before we go in there.
No, Hon, that ship has sailed. It sounds like you’ve already passed the point of no return. The only thing therapy will do is delay the inevitable and cost you two money which you need to start a new life.
[I]t turns out that he was helping her to leave a domestic abuse situation, and she had sworn him to secrecy. They both swear that nothing happened, and I believe them.
And while that may indeed be true, it was handled poorly. Suspicion of an affair was inevitable. And it’s quite possible that he engineered the situation to cause you to be suspicious because he wanted an out. It’s over; move on.
And while that may indeed be true, it was handled poorly.
Yep, dude shouldn’t have kept wife in the dark. That was idiotic. Either that or it’s more evidence that the wife was a low quality person (i.e. he kept it from her because he knew she would blab it to the family).
However, assuming that she’s being honest with herself and she truly believes that he didn’t cheat, then the issue is with her now.
I’m getting the impression she might be the town gossip. Certainly someone who likes to wrap themselves in drama. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended up in Slate.
^^^ this is strong evidence for that theory.
“Sure you swore me to secrecy, but I only told someone right away!”
I’m about as strong of a believer in “two people become one” as you can find, but there are things that my wife and I don’t share. She’s in a position to hear very personal information about our friends’ marriages and the like. None of my business.
Granted, repeated meetings with an opposite sex friend/not-by-blood relative would probably be something that we would share with one another, but I trust my wife to keep her yap shut and vice versa.
My wife bitched at me for years because I’m known as The Vault; if you tell me something and ask me not to tell anyone, I don’t tell anyone. Ever. So, she found out that I already knew that, for instance, one of my friends had proposed to her friend, and was pissed off. Whatever. After a couple of other instances, I finally told her: “You know *why* I know all this stuff before you do? Because I can keep a secret. Everyone knows I can keep a secret. So they tell me their secrets. Why do you think they don’t tell you? And how long do you think they’ll keep telling me if I start breaking my word?” She didn’t have a rejoinder. It might have been the only time she’s conceded a point in an argument. Now her position is basically that she knows I won’t keep anything important or relevant from her, and she’s confident that as soon as I can tell her something she’d be interested in I will, provided I’m not breaking a promise.
*takes notes for future reference because he is pretty much the same way*
My wife and I both have work-related confidences we are obliged to keep, but other than that we don’t really keep anything from each other. It helps that we are both pretty Vault-like.
But I think if my wife acted like this bitch, it would be a different story.
If you don’t want to be married, just go. The fact that she wrote a published article about her obvious guilt makes her more annoying. She’s trying to justify the destruction she’s about to attempt on him in court.
I can understand that if after 2 months of being convinced your husband was cheating, it could be hard to shake the emotions attached to that. You will try to shift then on to something else. I can understand why he kept it a secret. Don’t know if it was the right choice. Secrets (particularly ones that the other party know exist) are no good in relationships. Still she’s being ridiculous, but if he wants the relationship then he’s got to be willing to claim responsibility.
I know some might find that wrong, but relationships are not about being right or wrong, they are about working together. She is in a bad mental state, they need to go to counseling and he will have to help her release the pain she felt for two months thinking he betrayed her.
I can understand why he wanted to keep it a secret, but that was the wrong choice. Your relationship with your spouse comes first, certainly above your loyalty to a cousin’s wife.
It sounds like she’s already dead inside wrt him. You can’t recover from that, not with all the therapy in the world.
It has also occurred to me that he kept her in the dark because she is known to gossip – which is its own problem and would have come to a head eventually.
Your probably right that there’s no salvaging the relationship. And from the snippet it’s hard to tell if either one wants to salvage it.
My daughter is involved in a situation like that, after 30 years of marriage. Finally got the courage to leave her disturbed deadbeat husband, only to find that their 3 grownup daughters have decided she is guilty of lack of compassion.
In my personal and up-front experience, the children of an unhappy marriage are particularly bad at judging how well or poorly mommy and daddy treat each other.
Yep, In my own case I never discussed the reasons why, as my kids grew up they learned and realized the necessity of a divorce. I was careful never to blame my ex, since I was the only one responsible for me getting married.
My son was married to a very nice girl from a great family, for a short time. I’m not surprised she divorced him. I’ve never ask him why and he has never volunteered any info. In my daughter’s case it was doomed before the marriage but a princess with stars in her eyes doesn’t want any outside opinions. (see the first paragraph)
Opinion from 6 years of doing family law: file for divorce and see what happens. You’ll discover it’s OK, or not, and have to live with it either way.
I have seen a lot of cases be dismissed mutually as the spouses realize, oh shit! this is what it’s like to live alone again, etc. And so after a few months the spouses reconcile. Even cases where there was deep distrust (hiding money issues, for example, which can be as bad as infidelity).
Also: don’t go into couples counseling with the attitude”I want to know he was wrong” _first off_ because that defeats the purpose of counseling. You want to have the upper hand all the time, don’t you? Give me a break, no one is right 100% of the time.
“Give me a break, no one is right 100% of the time”
Sure, but when it comes to disagreements I’m sure LH is wrong 100% of the time 😛
I readily admit when I’ve done something dumb, trust me.
LH, you’re logged into the wrong account again.

I agree with everything you said. And it seems likely that there are other serious issues here that predate the “affair.” If she was still in love with the guy, she’d be angry, but also relieved.

It has been in development hell as a TV show.
I personally hope it is never made. I don’t trust anyone not to fuck it up. Can you imagine the shit-casting for Y.T.? Or all the anti-anarcho-capitalist signaling? Is there any chance whatsoever that L. Bob Rife won’t be a thinly-disguised Trump flipped around to be an anti-immigrant raping monster?
I mean, if you can fuck up a straight-forward story like Altered Carbon (yeah, I said it,) then I don’t want to see what they would do with something complicated.
You are right. I withdraw the question and hope it remains as is.
Raven and Uncle Enzo would have been fun characters, though.
Jason Momoa would be a perfect Raven.
Enzo would end up having to be trans to tick off that box. “Auntie Enzo’s Gluten-Free Pizza Pie.”

SJWednesday: Glibs Hardest Hit
The author, for reference on the type of person who receives lots of dick piucs
Transplaining.
Finally a woman who understands mens issues.
Blessed mother of the papacy—what am I looking at???
A queer, hon. As in the actual “Q” part of the rainbow alphabet. Sometimes called genderqueer.
That’s what Q stands for?!? I figured it was our guy…
How is that different than gay or trans? It seems like basically the same thing.
My non-expert conclusion is when you attempt to look 100% male or 100% female, you’re trans. When you mix and match, you’re queer.
“How is that different than gay or trans?”
Seriously, prolefeed? Srsly?
I am, to use the vocabulary of the movement, a cisgendered gay male. In normal people speak, that’s “oh, he’s gay.” As in, the only way you would know I was gay is if you saw me on a date or caught me checking out another guy’s butt. And all the equipment is factory standard. My appearance and mannerisms are those of a traditional straight male; and that’s not affectation, that’s just me.
As far as Trans goes, Trashy gets it right.
I’ve always thought of “queer” as “loud variant of any of the other letters”.
I’ve always thought of “queer” as “loud variant of any of the other letters”.
Or people who are actually hetero but want to identify with the movement and perhaps dress a bit oddly.
::dry heaves::
That ain’t right.
Da fuq is that thing? Oh, wait, Sugarfree links, all makes sense now.
I hate to say it, but they actually got one right. Sending unsolicited penis pics is a dick move. I’m surprised they didn’t accuse those senders of sexual assault via SMS.
Somebody tell Carlos Danger quick.
…
I was going to put a most unfortunate pic up here, of said Anthony W.
Fortunately, I managed to reconsider, in time.
Thank goodness. I saw the tell-tale ellipses and was afraid to hit refresh.
We’ve all seen it, hon. No need.
In all honesty, I find the humor in the fact that this “advice for men” is published on Everyday Feminism by a man pretending to be a woman who is probably vastly exaggerating their own personal history of dick pics.
Otherwise, the advice is sound.
^This. Also, thank you for once again wading into those fever swamps and reporting back to us.
I suspect that the author has received numerous dick picks, mostly from a certain sort of gay male. Some of the really butch guys like twinks, sissies, queers, etc.
This. I don’t know how much it really happens but like all bad behavior I guess, it’s hard for me to fathom that people need to be told not to do that.
What men should know is that an unsolicited dick pic will be shown to her female and gay male friends. And an attempt will be made to show her straight friend at work, even after he asks her to stop doing that.
“After an HR investigation that involved speaking to Barrera and others present, and following a dispute over whether Barrera had denied the accusation or told Rockstar he didn’t remember, the company ultimately found Bundschu’s account to be unsubstantiated. ”
I understand the whole possiblity for HR to be in senior managers pockets. I’ve never seen it, but it’s definitely a possibility. However it is interesting that such investigations, which seem like they should be worth something, are always discounted in these stories. The thread of this one reads: he did all the right things and the guy didn’t get fired. It assumes the accusations are true. You can’t read it without assuming that. But you look at the evidence in the article, and there isn’t a lot to say you should make that assumption.
I’m not saying it did or didn’t happen, I’m saying there’s no reason to stipulate one or the other.
Oh come now….why bother writing an article on something that might not be true? How boring is that?!!!
+1000000000000000 Russian collusion stories?
That is the impression I got too. Well, that, and “can I have the last ten minutes of my life back”.
HR’s job isn’t to protect a firm’s human assets. It is to protect the firm from the firm’s human assets.
Ditch the flip-flops and comedy shirts: summer fashion for men
Many British men struggle with what to wear come the summer. Here’s how to look cool during the hottest months
Needs more jumpers
You mean rompers? I think jumper is britspeak for pullover sweater.
Dammit. I have failed Bad Fashion 101.
I bet your teeth aren’t all F’d up too. Sorry, you will never make it as a British subject.
Those spandex tops that Aussie Rules players wear are sometimes called “jumpers” too (the formal term they use is “guernsey”).
Rompers, when you want to look ridiculous and make it harder to use the bathroom.
Men dress like the first picture? He also looks lame in the other outfits. What does it take to wear a pair of cargoes or (plain nice pair of shorts) and polo/t-shirt or linen shirt? As for shoes, there are plenty of shoes (and watches!) to complete whatever combo you choose. From Chuck’s to sneakers to boat shoes – whatever. It’s pretty straight forward for the love of God. Personally, not a fan of sandals but it’s popular.
I kinda like the cargo/collarless mix.
Flip flops in restaurants should be banned.
Lose the beard. Go with stubble.
~ef~
Yikes. Ugly link. Sorry.
The Glib response to an article mocking men’s clothing choices is to advocate the cargo short…
*looks down*
Sounds legit to me.
Mother of God, they are advocating jorts in that article. Jorts. In 2019! That’s only appropriate if you have a youtube woodworking channel.
Yeah, lots of grown up boys don’t know how to dress like dignified men – New Balance sneakers; bright white crew socks (athletic logo on ankle OK); grey, green, or plaid cargo shorts; button down, short sleeve camp shirt; SPF floppy hat from Duluth Trading company; $7 aviators from Target.
Once it is warm enough to ditch long sleeves, this is what I wear:
https://www.johariwest.com/collections/frontpage
But no palm trees. Too fucking cliche.
I need the long sleeves to keep the sun off my arms.
I usually wear military green cargo or tan shorts. A nice polo shirt – (discount) Versace, Armani, Soviet, or Firetrap – unless it’s really hot out. Then it’s time for a clean t-shirt. Either a retro Coldwave or 80s band, Armani Exchange, or plain black Emporio Armani black t-shirt. Birkenstock (closed heel) London shoes.
And no, I don’t tuck in the shirt and wear a belt. That just looks well – old man golfer.
old man golfer
I resemble that remark most weekends.
If you don’t wear a belt, what do you hang stuff on? I need a belt for my paddle holster.
penis holster?
For sure. I bought a KORE about a year ago and still love it. It looks like a normal belt and the quick adjust is great for when you remove or replace the holster.
Cargo shorts (with belt) t-shirt, untucked short sleeved collared shirt and, of course, flip flops.
Baseball cap optional.

Disclaimer: I know some libertarians don’t like the NAP. But most do. So why is it never used to explain what Libertarians believe?
It’s too darn sensible seeing as how most civilians see us as fire-breathing objectivists because that’s what they’ve been told from day one. I don’t have an Ayn Rand shrine in my basement but I’m guessing that some folk do. No skin off my pertater…
Where is Cytotoxic anyway?
Because our understanding of aggression is different than most people. They equate non-aggression as unmutualism, so not wanting to be taxed (stolen from) is the aggression. And preemptive violence is fine as long as is done to “bad” people to keep them from “hurting” the “good” people.
The NAP is simply outside their axiomatic basis.
^This.
You have to “bed” people to stop them from hurting others is the punchline to every prison joke about molesters.
Curse your Founder Privilege! You ruined my joke, Ruiner!
Ha!
In a time where speech is considered actual violence by a significant portion of the populace, where national legislation defines not actively helping the ‘unfortunate’ as a tort or even a crime, explaining the NAP confuses people. Also if you let those evil libertarians define themselves as opposed to aggression it is harder to persuade people that they are Nazis.
A libertarians aggression is different than that of a square…
It’s not filled with sizzling Gypsies, mexican weed, or butt intercourse?
Don’t forget the Gamboling Casinos and monkey butlers.
[hearty applause] for the both of you
Non-libertarians are unlikely to talk about libertarians and the NAP, since they either don’t know what the NAP is, or they’re afraid it will make them look like arseholes when they then try to slam libertarians for trying to live by that principle, since most people think the NAP is a good thing except for (insert the stuff that they are statists about here).
But it deprives me of the best in life, along with all the associated rape, pillage, and plunder.
It’s harder to crush your enemies if you have to wait for them to attack first.
Fuck the non-libertarians. I’m afraid to speak of my political and social beliefs for good reason.
I don’t dislike the NAP, but I think the Principle of Self Ownership is the core axiom of libertarianism, and the NAP derives from it.
But, yeah, that isn’t the way it is explained either.
Libertarianism is not a monolithic ideology
Depends on your position on deep dish pizza.

Major Swedish Sex Survey Reveals ‘Strikingly Common’ Abuse
What can I say. There was something in the air that night.
[golf clap]
Chicitita, tell me what’s wrong. . .
Let me guess – the surveyors decided what counted as “harassment” and “abuse” rather than the “victims”, because those numbers seem low for run-by rapings in no-go zones.
So a homogeneous society accepts an influx of aliens and notices a difference in behavior. Funny, that. I also featured the dig at porn and the begging for more research alms. The curlicue on the cone.
More like they lost confidence in their own culture so they willingly gave it up. If they were self-confident, they would absolutely insist on assimilation and respect.

What can possibly go wrong?
INT. Sweden’s Interior-Exterior Ministry of Super-Diversity and Equality and Justice and Dignity and Climate Change Prevention.
Blonde female Minister (in pointy metal bra. Reads report): Hm. Perhaps it’s not the immigrants who bring such beauty and wisdom. Can it be our indigenous males who have become more radicalized on Facebook by the alt-right and Jordan Peterson?
Blonde male meekish attache: Madame, if I may?
Minister (reluctantly and suspiciously): You may.
Male: I believe, with all due respect and reverence to the fine feminists of Svee-den, males here are all cucked out and emasculated. We can not ask more of them lest they lose their gender identity completely. Men watching their wives sleep with other men to Gillette commercials is on the rise.
Minister: We can do more. Something’s not right with these statistics. We need to be emphatically sure diversity is our strength! Now bring me your wife!
Male (lowers head): Okey-dokey.
Gud’un, my felt-bodied compatriot!
“investigate”. Yeah, right.
“discuss”
Completely Anecdotal, but Related: A college friend is on vacation in Germany. She was traveling alone by train and everyone had to de-train because of a track closure. As she was getting off the train “a man” grabbed her elbow and tried to lead her off. I privately asked her “was the elbow-grabber German?” Her response was a simple “no;” very unlike her. Sounds like she’s actively participating in the campaign to cover up assaults.
The aggravating part of this is their refusal to break down the statistics along cultural/demographic lines.
Much like the reports of increased anti-Semitism in Germany, the liberal authorities wish to use these statistics as weapons against their conservative opponents and crush all dissent to their plans.
Worse, when pointed out, they paint people as ‘Islamophobic’.
THAT’S what people are growing tired of.

SJWednesday: Howard Zinn Strikes Again
TLDW…
one person play that looks at Marx’s life, his analysis of society and his passion for radical change
Surely we will learn about what a lazy, useless, manipulative person he was.
Is this where we’re supposed to pretend that “radical change” is something to admire?
RAAAAACIST!!!

Excellently put…
This – When Italians, Poles, and Greeks emigrated to the U.S. in large numbers, they were expected to assimilate. During that process mainstream America picked up some of their language, cuisine, and other traits judged worthy – the rest was scuttled.
Forced multiculturalism = destruction of the prevailing cultural values because they are inconvenient for the elites, and blanket forced acceptance of the most distasteful, repulsive, and contrary aspects of the incoming immigrants. That can only result in resentment and eventually conflict.
In Canada, multicultural is a matter of policy and seen as an actual value. It’s no wonder dips hits like Justin come along and say things like ‘Canada has no culture’ and ‘we’re a post-national society’. They believe (and trust) all the nations of the world will bleed into one. Multiculturalism is foolishly seen as a means to an end and has incorporated the meaningless ‘diversity is our strength’ slogan. Quebec is the only province that holds this ridiculous notion (made policy by Pere Trudeau in the late 60s early 70s) with some degree of suspicion.
Not gonna happen. And we’re seeing the limits of it play out.
Lack of any values = a value.
You can have all the damn diversity you want but without a system of agreed upon values to bind it, you have emptiness. Just a bunch of different people with different takes with no way to bind a nation together.
Good luck with that in the long-run. Eventually, one group will aim to rule over others amidst the confusion and chaos.
Or it will just deteriorate into tribal warfare that the West hasn’t seen since the Dark Ages.
Certainly not to the extent of what’s happening in Western Europe or Britain but the resentment is building. Whether it be real estate prices in the Lower Mainland or the strangulation of certain industries by low-ball bidding, people are getting pissed off. The problem is that the people getting fucked over a barrel by this are not the ones with money or power.
They’re the deplorables who are expected to follow the commands of their betters.
Ie Juncker and Hillary. Just read and listen to what they say. It’s utter contempt for the average citizen and person.
And the media is swallowing their shit whole.
Elections across Europe (nationally and for the EU) have been a dizzying ride. The media characterizes it lazily as ‘alt-right populism’ but a lot of those parties are more subtle than that. Plenty of them have gained support from moderates.
I’ve read that the EU policies are actually pushing moderates in both directions and it seems to be playing out. Just like the old Gypsy woman said.
Many years ago, in 1964, I visited England with my first wife. We visited her aunt and uncle, I’ve forgotten where but anyway, the uncle owned a commercial building with apartments upstairs. He rented only to single Pakistanis. I asked why only bachelor Pakistanis and he said because they had trouble finding a place to live he was able to charge them more.
Supply/demand
expected to assimilate
Yup.
is multiculturalism a good thing?
Depends. Not all cultures are equal.
OT: I’m going to be down in the Buckeye Lake area starting tomorrow. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are pretty well booked up with punk shows and beer fests. But I’m currently planning on swinging by Buckeye Lake Brewing Thursday night to sample their wares.
Fantastic trolling, Donald.
He really is putting a red hot poker into Team Blues eye. Pelosi is likely correct that he is goading impeachment. The curious thing is that she may very well go along with it even though she knows better.
Have you ever met an elderly lady with a bee in her bonnet that knew when to keep her mouth shut?
Pelosi wants to remain Speaker of the House. That means not pissing off other Democrats, thus preventing a successful insurgency to boot her out. But, that might mean embracing tactics that may cause Republicans to take back the House and boot her out.
Events tend to make more sense when you assume that politicians are in it for their own selfish interests, and don’t care who they have to step on to maintain or gain power.
If the Dems have any big electoral success in 2020, it will be because of Pelosi keeping them in check.
I’ve noticed that the crazies are either toning down the rhetoric in the last couple of weeks or that it isn’t being covered so widely (Signs and Wonders!) You’re probably right that the word has come down from on high. That GND bullshit was Sideshow Bob-level stupidity.
Agreed – I’ve been seeing less call for Socialism – well, minus Bernie – and a slow creep toward the middle.
Could Dead Aliens Help Save Humanity?
Sounds like someone wants in on the CAGW grant gravy train. Good luck with that.
The real answer is probably much simpler. Organic life and space travel do not go together.
Yeah, that was my conclusion. Interstellar travel is most likely, not feasible
At least not in this Zone of Thought.

It’s possible, but it requires a whole lot of very specialized things to happen:
You have to live in one of the rare places in the universe where bad things like supernovas and giant meteors and whatnot don’t periodically reset everything back to tiny organisms. Single celled organisms took 1.7 billion years to evolve into multicellular, and then it took another 1.5 billion years to start getting complex life, and around 0.6 billion more to get to human levels of intelligence.
So, close to the galactic center or the center of a galactic arm is a no. Too far from the same, and the nearest inhabitable star will be too far away. Double stars are a no. Big stars are a no, since then burn out too quick. But if the mass drops much below that of our sun, it never forms a star in the first place. Gotta have an atmosphere where you can even see there’s stars. Gotta be on a rocky small planet with lots of metals, but not so small that no atmosphere exists. Can’t evolve into a species like dolphins that can’t use fire to work metals.
And so on.
-1 tardigrades
Everything about this is wrong. Even if all the nukes were launched, plenty of people would survive. You don’t get to 7 billion in population by being fragile and easily killed.
And the serious consequences thing hasn’t been proven, as evidenced by their hastiness to proclaim “the debate is over”. No one has to proclaim the debate is over about gravity existing.
Sure, or maybe the fact that alien civilizations that exist concurrently with us would have to be in generally one of three states — Less technologically advanced, roughly equivalently so, or very far ahead of us.
The first two we wouldn’t be able to detect. Light from their stars might take tens of thousands of years to reach us as it crawls across the interstellar gaps. We could be looking at stars with civilizations living there that are just now sending radio signals, but seeing them as they were when their inhabitants were discovering how to make fire.
The last kind we might be able to see, but if they’re on the other side of the galaxy the signals could be too weak or distorted for our technology to detect. And if they’re technologically advanced enough, they might decide it’s better to hide their presence from us, and we’d be unable to do anything about that.
My own take on the Fermi Paradox – based on the history of the Earth, getting an intelligent species capable of higher-level / rational (and long-term thinking) is exceedingly difficult. Of the billions of years of life on our planet, only a small, small fraction of that produced humans. Dinosaurs ruled the world for a much longer time, and they were (eventually) a biological dead end. To get a creature that can even do spaceflight – or even radio communications – is exceedingly rare.
I’m not saying that alien life is sparse – I imagine worlds teeming with life – but only a few spread across our galaxy have the ability to reason – like us – beyond the apes, dolphins, whales, etc.
Also agree that interstellar travel is hard – given the engineering involved and the massive distances between stars.
Of course there are billions and billions of stars, and billions of galaxies – so even small, rare chances will produce millions of results. But given the distances involved, finding these other intelligent lifeforms is going to be hard.
“Dinosaurs ruled the world for a much longer time, and they were (eventually) a biological dead end.”
Dinosaurs still roam the world. No dead end there.
Indeed. There are more species of dinosaur alive today than there are mammals.
We call them birds.
yeah I mean the big fuckers. fuckers.

I tied that fly myself, little fishy! That’s twice I’ve caught one of you!
I’ve come to believe that there have been many intelligent species in just this galaxy. But they end up sidetracked by crazy political ideas like communism, get hooked on computers which are a lot easier to make than long-range spacecraft. Eventually they upload themselves into the computers, or just de-evolve back into less intelligent species due to lack of competition / evolutionary pressure.
David Brin’s Existence covers this pretty well. Humanity expends its last resources creating AI seeds to shoot off into the galaxy like Warty’s Doomcock Projectiles.
Agree – space and time are so vast that millions of intelligent species could have risen and fallen (or singularitied themselves) and we’d have no idea.
I think the Fermi Paradox is akin to arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. 1. We are factually in the situation that we have not detected alien life. 2. Given the size of the Universe it is likely that somewhere is another intelligent species. Attempting to explain 1 as in paradoxical tension with 2 is pointless until we have some data on which to theorize. The possibilities are endless, ranging from rarity of intelligent life, impossibility of interstellar travel, and all the other exciting theories down to, the simple possibility that we just haven’t seen their signals yet. It is akin to theorizing about long term climate trends which are events that occur over many millennia, based on a dataset that covers about a century.
Wait….I thought we were seeing ET three times a day for years? Isn’t the Navy having tea with them on a regular basis now?
I guess if I want to know which it is I just have to figure out which scenario means more money.

First beer from BIF review, my scale below:

DanG hand delivered a selection of New England beers and threw a bonus PA beer in to the mix that he picked up along the way. I had it last night, Red Mo Ale from Otto’s Pub and Brewery, State College PA.
It scores 3.67 on beeradvocate.com.
A red ale with a touch of hop bite. I would have preferred a bit more hops, it was drinkable. I could see putting down a bunch of these at a party. At 5% ABV, it isn’t overpowering. I give it a solid 3.0/5. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it again, but if I ran into it somewhere, I would have another.

Charity can’t solve wealth inequality.
I wonder why you can’t just gift a poor person $100k?
They did that with some homeless people as an experiment.
The homeless all ended up right back where they started before too long.
On the other hand, some of the experiments in Africa have found that cash works better than aid.
So what we’re saying is, it really depends on who you give it to.
I was alluding to gift taxes, but that is also a valid point.

Yeah it’s a few weeks old but advice columns are timeless (or not):
I Can’t Sleep Through All the Honking, and I’m Beeping Mad
If she only had a HOA…
I recommend sticking the business end of a shotgun in their window and telling them to knock it off.
you voluntarily moved to Philly. that’s the ghetto doorbell. you’re lucky it’s only three beeps. suck it up.
Decade ago, one of my drinking buddies lived in a crappy part of town. He called it – racist alert – the Nigger Doorbell.
My MIL lives in NE Philly. Gods I hate that place.
It’s fun to visit when you’re young. I had a girlfriend in Cherry Hill just over the river ages ago.
You don’t live in the suburbs Becky.
Why? You think predominantly black neighborhoods are automatically urban? I’ve lived in a predominantly black suburb.
I have a pretty good idea of what the “outskirts of Philadelphia” where everyone is black and cars constantly honk is. It’s the suburbs of Philly like Compton and Watts are the suburbs of LA
I’ll bet you there are at least 3 “checks cashed here” shops within line of sight of her suburban apartment.
A) What a bunch of horseshit. STFU
B) Where do you think the moniker ‘honkey’ came from?
C) Move away from Philly, find some RR tracks and lay your head on the rails.
That advice is the Beckiest thing I can imagine.
I love the especially condescending “reward them with a pie”. Apparently, her neighbors are like dogs who get a treat when they do what they are told.
They did that with some homeless people as an experiment.
The homeless all ended up right back where they started before too long.
The lottery is a giant experiment in social psychology? I find that believable.
Also the NBA.
Approximately 60% of NBA players are bankrupt within 5 years of leaving league. I don’t know if I buy that exact number, but the concept is generally right.
I’ve been seeing Shaquille O’Neal in a lot of commercials.
His commercials for The General are the best. Almost as good as Kazaam.
I think Shaq is just into making money. He’s always been game for a good gig.
A quick search shows he isn’t hurting – my bad:
https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0611/the-numbers-behind-shaquille-oneal.aspx
I also heard he’s going to be in the Board of Directors for Papa John’s too.
He already is. He owns a number of franchises, so was already known to the company.
Ah, nice then. Good on the guy.
5 years is the same number for lottery winners. The vast majority end up where they started after 5 years.
And yet, there are some calling for the workers to own private companies and vote on all the financial decisions.
I know exactly what I would do with a lottery win and I and my family would be set for life. I find it amazing that people could blow that amount of money that quickly.
I’m gonna getz me a different colored Camaro for every day of the week /trailer trash

That’s my plan too.
There’s no way it can fail.
Mrs. TOK and I have had that discussion a few times. Honestly, we both like our hobbies and interests, we like the cars we drive, we like the house we live in. We just want to do more of the fun things and not have to work, and we’d like to go on more vacations to warm places. I’d like to think we’d stretch that kind of money out pretty far.
The key is to never touch the principal, except to pay the initial taxes.
There is no reason a major lottery winner couldn’t live very, very nicely off just the earnings.
And make sure your accountant doesn’t have the sniffles.
I have often said I would prefer 2nd prize anyway.
$1 million doesn’t change my life, it just makes it nicer. I would have to go on working, but the house would be paid off, could chunk more money into retirement, give some away, and still have some savings.
And you don’t have to worry about some crazy kidnapping your kid.
Depending on the amount, of course, I don’t see a big change. Keep in mind that the cash option will pay around a third, after taxes, of the nominal amount.
$1mm in the bank pays the mortgage and speeds my path to retirement. IT wouldn’t buy a second home, although I suspect it would get Mrs. Dean her AMG. Visible changes in lifestyle would be minimal.
$10mm means I don’t work fulltime any more. And maybe we get a second home somewhere in the mountains. Or in Panama. I still have stuck in my head a lot we looked at years ago in Boquete that had a place to build a house with views of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. That lot is probably almost unique in the entire world.
$100mm? Buys us new identities and multiple citizenships. I think we would pretty much disappear.
Hey! My work place we all pool into the powerball when it’s over 300 million. My plans do not include ending up where I am today!!
Seriously though, there are law school contracts cases on the lottery ticket pool /don’t these lawyers remember those cases?
And lastly: so far we’ve only won $4.
So you are saying….you won!

I feel that. We got snowed in one time at camp. No amenities. 120 miles never felt so far. Good luck, Tres!
You don’t have to determine whether your husband is a hero or not; all you have to do is identify how your experience of the past six months made you feel.
Forget what he did or didn’t do, ask yourself whether you feel validated in how you misjudged him.
Considering she ran to a gossip column with the story as soon as she sussed it out, maybe he was correct not to betray his friend’s confidence.

What are the odds Blabbermouth Barbie would have told the wifebeating husband, as soon as she found out?
What are the chances? I am guessing 100%. I have relatives like that. By God if you ever want the word spread all you have to do is ‘confide’ in them. No amount of money in the world can buy you the kind of publicity that telling them something in confidence will.

Speaking of Shaq and commercials- when he was a rookie, he did a commercial for some sort of soda pop (ha!). Probably Pepsi, but it doesn’t matter. Something about him and some little kid and the last can in the cooler, little of which is relevant to my tale. Not being a basketball fan, I was pretty much oblivious to who or what the guy was, but when he stuck his hand in that cooler (a pretty large many-cases-of-beer-tailgate-party-style cooler) it looked like a goddam shoe box. That guy has some XXXL paws.
I had to rescue him once when his bike broke down. Drove him home in a Ford Ranger. His head was bent way forward and just barely fit. He had ridden all the way down the hill with the clutch lever in and it burned up the throw out bearing. Guy makes you feel like a 5 year old when you shake his hand.
Sloopy and I need to buy a damn generator.
Poor Banjos! I love my Grandkids but if the power went out and they lost service to their myriad of devices I’d probably have to sell them all for medical experiments, either that or just drive away and change my identity. Maybe become manager of a Cinnabun or something. It was easier when they were wee. I have a huge tub of Lego that we’d haul out when everybody used to get sniffy. Not so much anymore.
Sloopy and I need to buy a damn generator.
I’m surprised you don’t have one. Too busy working to get your own stuff done, I guess.

I’ve looked at a whole house gas generator, and (briefly) at solar. In an ideal world, I’d have off-the-grid capabilities for electricity and water. Not that we have the capital for that now.

In general, the husband should tell the wife what he’s up to. However,
There was a whole lot more going on in that marriage than him keeping the secret from her.
No kidding. She feels betrayed by her husband (understandable), and her response is to… betray his trust by taking it to her siblings, her parents, an advice columnist, and God knows who else.
Just file the papers already, lady. You made up your mind a long time ago.
No doubt.

Trump needs to let Mueller testify or he is obstructing.
Mueller is testifying…means Trump is obstructing.
How does anyone take these fucking assclowns seriously?
Trump declassifies stuff…means he is distracting from his teetering economy… from starting a war with Iran… from his very bad week in the news.
It’s actually very simple. Just assume Trump is a horrible, evil racist who does a lot of illegal and unethical things, and work backward from there.

There was a time when you could put a million dollars in the bank and live on the interest. Now, you might as well get a job as a greeter at Walmart. Thanks, Ben!
“…a greeter at Wal-mart.”
I could do that. Drink coffee and chit chat with people all day. Bills are paid….aint got nuthin’ else too do….just be nice to people all day.
That is beyond my skillset.
The coffee is all well and good but he lost me at chit chat.
Seriously. That was my first 7 or 8 jobs. Never fucking again.
Grumpy fuckers like you three is what would make the job most enjoyable. I’d be extra nice to y’all, even fix you a cup of coffee.

“I find it amazing that people could blow that amount of money that quickly.”
heh. Dude you need to get out more. I have a family member….not gonna say who….it doesn’t matter how much money. If she can get her hands around it she is gonna run out immediately and toss it in the air squealing “Wheeeeeeee! Wheeee! Wheeeeeeee!”
It doesn’t matter how much. 20 bucks? 2 minutes. 200 bucks? 2 minutes. 2,000,000 bucks? 2 minutes. 200 million? it doesn’t matter how much. If there is anyway at all she can get access, consider it gone.
Heh – a friend of mine from the old punk rock days once said: “I’m rich until I’m broke”. Every paycheck he would go out and blow his $$ on his girlfriend, the bar, and eating out. And then he’d be broke by the time the weekend finished.
Flash forward 20 years and he’s still making very little money, lives in a hovel, but is still a guitarist for two local groups.
And it’s not necessarily an intelligence issue. It’s a lack of discipline and being able to defer gratification. My father was a Mensa member and has had two bankruptcies.

Oh I know, I’ve got a cousin who managed to blow millions of inheritance.
But everybody loved to party with him, at least until he was broke.
Distant cousins….their daddy was the mafia king of a south La parish. Old man died leaving everything to 2 sons. Son #1 didn’t want a penny. He moved to Tx and works as an electrician, keeps his head down and is doing his best to disassociate himself from the family name. Son #2 got every penny of 20 million.
Five years later he was broke-ass broke, debt and not a penny to his name.
I asked son #2 “What the hell did he do with it?!”
In a flat voice Son#1 mumbled “Young pussy”
I laughed and said “Makes sense. That’ll do it alright.” I am sure the casinos down there had a hand in it as well.

Being told you are wrong when you are wrong is very emotionally draining. And probably gaslighting or something.

Due to repeatly booking two weeks or more worth of hotel stays through the same site per year, I’m in the top tier of membership rewards. As a result, the hotel I’ll be staying at in Milwaukee is throwing in a free bottle of wine. The email doesn’t say what size, brand, or even type of wine, but of all the things that are not particularly valuable to me…

It’s Milwaukee dude.
Night Train for sure.
If it’s still grape juice, that might be something.
But the hotel in question is one that presents a certain image of respectability and refinement.
I have no idea why they let me stay there.
50 bucks is 50 buck. Same as downtown.
While true, I still have the question “Who do I know that drinks wine?”

That one looked fake to me, like something John Carpenter would have come up with. One that bothered me is the man who unaccountably managed to smuggle a gun into a questioning room, where he shot himself after the cop left. Just slumps over and drains out. I’m guessing a massive difference in caliber between the two.
On a whim, I purchased a few Keyforge decks to play with my kid. Anyone play? Any thoughts? I live within driving distance of FFG’s game center, so I can go and play on any Friday and probably find a tourney.

A 64-year-old New York state man who fatally shot a pair of prowlers rooting through his home Tuesday afternoon reportedly ended up in handcuffs after police said the weapon he used in self-defense was illegally owned.
Ronald A. Stolarczyk was charged with felony possession of an illegal handgun, New York State Police said in a news release.
At about 2:40 p.m., officials say Stolarczyk interrupted a man and woman burglarizing his home in Deerfield, New York, located about four hours north of New York City. Stolarczyk then shot the two suspects, according to police.
No hints as to why the gun was illegal. I’m leaning toward “excess magazine capacity”. They’d probably be happy to let us know if he was a felon in possession.
Meanwhile “we” will elect Cuomo to a fourth term by a landslide.
Sounds like a good test-case for any 2A group willing to pay for this guy’s lawyers straight through to the Supreme Court.
They’ll pass over it and let the lower courts’ fucking him over stand by default, rather than rip down the unconstitutional edifice that current gun control (NFA, 68 GCA, FOPA, the parts of the Brady Bill that didn’t sunset).
This is what will not comply looks like. No way to legally use a now unlawful firearm/magazine, and if you do, you’ll be screwed. They’ll take his firearm, maybe throw him in a cage for a spell, prohibit him from ever legally possessing another firearm, and brand him as a felon for the rest of his life.
Sparse on the circumstances of the shooting but I’ll assume even the cops say good-shoot since they are going after him a bs and probably unconstitutional gun charge.

“we did not say that he committed no crime.”

didn’t take any questions.
he kept saying “the report speaks for itself. it is my testimony.”
somebody else gave a fair translation:
Congress, it isn’t worth your time to have me testify. I will be the most boring and perfunctory witness in history. The report speaks for itself. Peace out!
“People are presumed innocent and we can’t indict a sitting president. We can’t reach a conclusion on obstruction.” And I thought he was supposed to reach a conclusion on collusion. Silly me.
People are presumed innocent
Then why is the bulk of the report about how Trump couldn’t prove he didn’t obstruct?
we can’t indict a sitting president.
Not the reason you didn’t indict.
We can’t reach a conclusion on obstruction.
Oh, but you did. You decided there wasn’t enough evidence to indict.
Three lies in two sentences. Impressive.
TBF, I shouldn’t have put that in quotes, but that is damn close to what he actually said. Put a few… between and that’s what you get.
He was supposed to come up with anything he possibly could to smear a duly elected president.

Presumption of guilt.
What an asshole, but it does give some illumination into how the DOJ works. If they latch onto you, you’re fucked.
Why couldn’t he say that he thought the president obstructed justice? That wouldn’t be an indictment. It would be part of what he’s supposed to do.
Normal person: So you couldn’t find a crime
Prosecutor: No, the crime was there- we just couldn’t prove it
Normal person: Then how do you know a crime was committed if you couldn’t prove it
Prosecutor: Because I watch Rachel Maddow.
Normal Person: You have got to be kidding me
Prosecutor: You’re a Russian bot
Normal person: I’m literally a human being standing right in front of you
Prosecutor: You can’t prove that you’re not a Russian bot.

I’m loving watching the legal profession move from the Aristotelian “thought follows reality” standards to the Platonic “reality follows thought” standards
If he weren’t guilty, then they wouldn’t have spent countless hours investigating him now would they?
Shades of the Soviet Union.
This Russia investigation has been the biggest waste of time in the history of all time wasters. We’re only still talking about it, because the “respectable” people were humiliated by its results.
They could have been trashing Trump for something legitimate or even bringing impeachment for something he actually did illegally (of which, there are many examples).
“I have zero respect for anyone who every believed in this conspiracy”
– Thaddeus Russell
They can’t bring impeachment for anything else because that would prevent them from doing the same thing when it’s their turn.
It’s all a big fucking joke.
Maybe.
I’d rather a precedent be set that presidents can be impeached for waging illegal wars than refer to a lack of precedent of presidents being impeached for waging illegal wars.
So would I, but they’re never going to do it.
That is not a move. Legal reasoning = rationalization = reasoning from conclusion to argument. Or to put it in the words of law professors trying to gloss over the problem with that equation. “Your job is to take the facts presented in the case, and tell a story which uses those facts in such a way that the law gives your client the result desired” Legal reasoning is not a search for truth it is an exercise in persuasion. Of course the alternative is the European system wherein the State acts as inquisitor, Judge and Advocate all in one, or the Chinese system where all that matters is deterring others from crime, not determining if you are punishing the correct person. So…
Basically baiting impeachment, which was his purpose all along. Pelosi’s gotta be furious.
Buck passing, too. What is the point of having an SP if you’re just gonna say, “Hey, looked iffy to me, but I dunno.”?
Amash is convinced that he committed obstruction of justice of an investigation whose legitimacy is questionable, at best. Yet, he insists that he won’t bring articles of impeachment.
Seems like he’s playing the same game as Pelosi
That’s what’s so contemptible about the theatrics. Quit whining and file the articles, pussy. It’s literally within your job description.
Will nobody rid us of this troublesome president!?
But, he’s so “brave” for regurgitating the opinions of the NYT. Everybody knows that the bravest thing you can do is parrot the NYT.
If you’re principled and you actually believe that obstruction of justice was committed (after your asinine Russia conspiracy falls apart, which Amash insisted was a real possibility at the beginning of all this) then you file articles of impeachment.
If you’re playing politics then you say the president obstructed justice, but don’t file articles of impeachment, because you know that will benefit the president.
Amash is playing politics. And this should be obvious to anyone who has paid attention to Amash’s transition from a Ron Paul darling to a Beltway Libertarian since his second election.
Amash went from posting the principled underpinnings of all his votes several times per day while in the MI State Legislature, to posting once per day by the midway point of his 1st FedGov term, to once every day or so now.
which Amash insisted was a real possibility
And sure, it was. It was a real possibility that the idiot did something collusive, or just winked at it, or had a subordinate wink at it. The man’s campaign was a mess, the transition was even messier, and the first several months in office verged on disastrous. He had a rotating door for scandal-prone, shady assholes coming into his orbit and leaving under a cloud of acrimony and mistrust. Fine.
But it’s funny that people like Jonah Goldberg, who at least for the last several months has been making the point that the possibility of collusion may be illusive but not wholly improbable, are now confronted with the much more credible evidence that federal investigators and our intelligence community are ridden with partisan activists who took it upon themselves to stage a soft coup, but their probity and righteousness must simply be assumed because, well, Trump’s a shady idiot. You mean to tell me there’s not even a whiff of potential for corruption?
They cannot or will not hold the two ideas in their head at the same time. Everything must be an either/or proposition and since we know Trump is an asshole then our brave bureaucratic soldiers must be noble.
Man, that sentence is messier than Trump’s first term.
Napolitano’s on the obstruction train too.
I’ll wait for Andrew McCarthy’s take.
The difference is that Napolitano never believed the Russia narrative from the get go. If you recall, he got in trouble for suggesting early on that the US intelligence community might have abused the FISA process in this investigation. He was suspended from Fox for the accusation and Reason stopped printing his articles.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/21/andrew-napolitano-suspended-fox-wiretap-claims-fiz/
Amash bought the Russia narrative from the get go. He was one of the first congressmen to call for a special counsel. He’s a damn fool
It’s the Russia investigation, itself, that is the barometer, in my opinion. If you believed it from the get go then you are, by definition, a moron. And you willingly accepted a conspiracy theory pushed by known liars which worsened relations with a nuclear power.
Russia Fever Dreams were used as an argument for why we couldn’t leave Syria and why we needed to arm Ukraine.

Shit or get off the pot.
I would love to see him bring impeachment for something of consequence. I am not opposed to impeaching this president or literally any president if it is for something of significance- like waging illegal wars, of which almost every modern president is guilty of. I don’t care if no one else was impeached on it, so long as the precedent is set now.
File articles for fiscal irresponsibility every time he (or anyone) proposes a budget.
I’m of the opposite view. Even if Trump did commit impeachable offenses, I fear the damage done to the fabric of our society that would be a consequence of any attempt to impeach would be worse than letting Trump serve out his term. I mean, as far as we know, Trump hasn’t ordered the assassination of two American citizens like Obama did. If he got off scott-free then to make an example of Trump would actually be an injustice.
You got to be kidding me. I always thought that you were of the “fuck them all” position.
Obama should have been impeached too. What didn’t happen against previous presidents in the past shouldn’t matter.
I would be 100% on board with Trump being impeached for continuing the war in Syria or supporting the Saudis in their war against Yemen.
I agree in principle. Pragmatically, I’m not willing to get into a shooting war just yet over Trump’s abuse of declaring “national emergencies” to do whatever he wants. There is a very real possibility that moving to impeach Trump would lead to violence in the streets. With the current state of society, I don’t see impeachment as leading to a restoration of our Republic’s separation of powers, but to a one-party state.
I may write an article about this if I ever get the time, but having lived through the coup d’etat that deposed Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006, the parallels are striking and ominous.
“I may write an article about this if I ever get the time, but having lived through the coup d’etat that deposed Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006, the parallels are striking and ominous.”
I would be very interested in reading this article.
Perhaps I am looking at the prospect from an American perspective where the notion of an actual violent civil war seems so remote that I don’t even entertain the thought.
Perhaps I am looking at the prospect from an American perspective where the notion of an actual violent civil war seems so remote that I don’t even entertain the thought.
I think your mental image of America was formed in an America that is gone. It does not seem remote to me at all. If they impeach and remove Trump based on ‘obstruction’ of a witch hunt investigation I think it may result in armed clashes in the streets.
Its a dilemma. The first President to be impeached and removed will inevitably be the victim of a double standard, which will be very damaging to civil society. I don’t think we’d get an actual civil war with competing contenders for the legitimate government of the US, but I think the outcome would be pretty bad even short of that.
OTOH, the current standard, if unchanged, will mean that its practically impossible to impeach and remove any President who manages to avoid personally committing a violent felony on camera.
Which, if you look at the Roman precedent, is how I believe the Founders intended it to work. A Roman consul could not be prosecuted for a crime until his term was over. However, a consul’s actions could be vetoed by the vice-consul. Again, the Founders intended the vice-President to work like a Roman vice-consul as a check on the consul. If the 12th Amendment hadn’t neutered the office of the Vice-President, Hillary would have been Trump’s Vice-President. (And the potential lulz from that is why we don’t live in the best timeline.)
Imagine SF’s work if those two spent any amount of time in proximity.
I would like to see Brennan and Clapper held accountable for lying to Congress and spying on the Senate.
If you want to prevent the President from doing illegal things, make his subordinates legally accountable and they will resist his worst impulses.
Epic weaselling.
No word on Bolton Wanderers, but the National League kicked a club out this week: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48398640
Deep state attempted coup.
That’s all you need to know.
Regardless of one’s feelings about Trump (debt bringer, war monger, and general asshole) the whole Russia conspiracy theory was nothing more than an attempt by the powers that be to unseat a democratically elected president.
They did so (IMHO) because he said some shit during his campaign that would hurt the bottom line of the military industrial complex.
Prove me wrong.
You’re not wrong.
But, the love-in for the intelligence community among Beltway Libertarians has made one thing clear: there is no room for anti-war activists within the LP. If that wasn’t already made clear by the last three presidential candidates that they’ve nominated.
And is there a place for those like me? A fellow who hates war but simultaneously desires a VERY strong ability to defend or retaliate if needed?
“A fellow who hates war but simultaneously desires a VERY strong ability to defend or retaliate if needed?”
Depends on when you think it is “needed”.
If you think we are “needed” to wage “humanitarian” wars, then yes, because Gary Johnson endorsed that concept in 2012, along with endorsing the concept of sending special forces to hunt down Kony.
https://www.weeklystandard.com/john-mccormack/yes-gary-johnson-endorsed-humanitarian-war
If you think that the US military should only be used to defend our shores then you’re not welcome. But, if you think the US military should be used for defending our “interests” (always, purposely left vague) then you’ll fit right in with the Cathy Youngs of the world.
Basically you’ll be a neocon in all but name (although Cathy Young does call herself a mix between a neocon and a libertarian, which is so adorable in a stupid kind of way).
I don’t oppose all wars in defense of our interests. Sending a platoon into Tripoli to stop pirates from preying on our mercantile fleet makes sense, arguably so did deposing the Taliban. But once you start playing the nation building, democracy spreading, humanitarian game you lose me. If someone attacks us, we should retaliate, and do so with as much force as is needed to win swiftly. Then we should go home.
I don’t know what’s Aleppo, but we should park some troops on it anyway.
FWIW – My back of the napkin plan would be to all but eliminate the US Army; perhaps reduce it to a stout, well-trained NCO core around which to center a militia type force but, as much as inter-service rivalry pains me to admit it, the USMC has been the only ground force needed in quite some time. Beef up the USN, with dual mandates of CONUS defense and keeping the sea lanes free for transit. And task the
US Army Air CorpsUSAF with space stuff. transferring .If all you need is PR and spin, sure the USMC is your girl.
{Whoops}
Transferring all of their (USAF) atmospheric functions, duties, and equipment to the other branches.
Anybody brave enough to go see how Cato’s Julian Sanchez is reading this?
I’ve done it a few times in the past and really can’t stomach any more.
That dude is supposed to be a “civil libertarian” and yet as denounced all investigations into the intelligence community regarding Russia.
TDS is real and it makes people legit retarded
That’s backwards.
“we did not say that he committed no crime.”
“I’m not saying Mueller didn’t fuck that donkey. We simply have no evidence to take into court.”
Likewise, you didn’t say that he committed a crime.
Subpoena his tax returns for the last several years. Surely we’ll find evidence of donkey fornication.
There’s no evidence that a donkey was fucked, though we can’t say with confidence that a donkey wasn’t fucked, either.
If we had had confidence that Mueller had not fucked a donkey we would have said so.
we did not say that he committed no crime
Nobody has said I haven’t committed any crimes. Does that mean I’m a suspect of some kind?
Comey, on the other hand, well, lots of people are saying he may well have committed some crimes.
Prove me wrong.
Donald trump could never, in a million years, have beaten The Most Qualified Candidate in the History of Electoral Politics without outside intervention by an evil superpower. Of course the Rooskies did it.
Funny how Mueller didn’t seem concerned that since Trump didn’t collude, that the *real* colluder is still on the loose.
He done already told us: No reasonable prosecutor would indict the real colluder.
It would be unfair to accuse someone of a crime because they can’t defend themselves in a court of law, but we didn’t indict the president of a crime because it would be against protocol.
Talk about having your cake and eating it too.
I’m still in awe that Democrats can hold in their head the simultaneous villainy and beatification of James Comey for doing something they now insist Mueller must do, to wit, make the case for bringing charges despite being unwilling to bring them.
I think he tried to make the case as clear as he thinks he could. He believes Trump committed a crime, but is too big of a pussy to come out and say it. He’s hiding behind a rules when it serves him and still juxtaposing his statements so that it leads to the conclusion he wants. It’s fucking bullshit.
I think he’s doing his best to keep his confederates out of trouble. He knows he has nothing to stand on except politicking against Barr and Trump going after the FBI and IC.
What goes on in the minds of men, I don’t know. There’s not question that he is leading the dems towards going for impeachment, though. This Mueller statement is going to light a fire under there asses and good luck putting out that fire. Probably blows up in their faces. Who knows?
He believes Trump committed a crime
He believes Trump is a criminal. He is merely frustrated that, like a Mafia don, nobody can hang any charges on him.
Remember, he’s FBI. To them, everyone is a criminal. The only decisions are which of us to go after, and what is the most efficient way to get us in a cage where we belong.
Before getting his morals all screwed up working in the swamp, I imagine Mueller looked like this kid.
Why does anyone take the Libertarian Party seriously? They will never win, people are too scared of losing there’s goodies. Just be a Glib, and discover APATHY!!!!!
Just be a Glib, and discover APATHY!!!!!
That sounds like a lot of work, man.
Please, please, please make this man the Democrat candidate for President.
Our country needs lulz.
If he would campaign for the nomination, I suspect he would be hard for any of the current candidates to beat. His problem is something like Hillary’s, I suspect:
(a) He’s too old and lacks the energy for sustained campaigning.
(b) The idea of him is much more appealing than the fact of him. I wonder if his polling, like Hillary’s, is inverse to his visibility.
Taken from AoS:
What was revealed was the extent of rottenness in the system. If Trump had been a godlike Alexander it would have been one thing. But he’s not. That they are actually less competent than a casino manager and reality show host is too much for them to take.
Yet it is nevertheless true. The real crisis of American governance isn’t that Trump is some evil genius. It is what a bunch of mediocrities the elite have turned out to be. Better to have found out now than in the middle of some existential conflict with a great power.

Tom Nichols has a sad.
He just can’t keep his hands off them, can he. Dude…
He can’t, it’s in his nature.
I’m leaning more and more on brain damage. Even Trump manages to rein himself in better than Biden.
There’s no question he has brain damage. He’s had a stroke. The only question is what was damaged, and how badly.
Dem Senators going apeshit for impeachment now. AHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAAA super easy for them to say it. can’t wait to see Pelosi’s take.
I wonder if there isn’t a way for the Repubs in the House to bring articles of impeachment, just to get this over with. Call the Dem’s bluff. They could position it just that way – its time for closure for the good of the country, let’s do this thing and get it over with.
I suspect that it wouldn’t get out of the House.
On the Senate side, Cocaine Mitch could bring a non-binding resolution asking the House to take up impeachment, again just to force closure. Maybe say that if every Dem Senator votes for it, he will arrange for enough Repubs to pass it.
Probably the biggest stumbling block would the lies the DemOp Media would tell about it all.
It would be the GND redux.
my guess is she’ll start a bipartisan impeachment commission of former lawmakers to weigh the facts and make her decision for her. and they’ll say no. shocker.
