No really, I am trying my best to not talk about things like this millionaire looting a mall in Scottsdale with a Neiman Marcus, or even things that make even less sense like vandalizing a statue of Ghandi…
This is my review of San Tan (Vault Series) Kilo Hop Ludicrous IPA.
It occurred to me the Joe Biden campaign logos look familiar so I looked around and discovered others noticed the same thing.
And what a bad logo it is! At least, that seems to be the prevailing sentiment on Twitter, a platform that’s notoriously anti-Biden. Here are the problems people have:
It’s an obvious rip-off of Obama’s logo.
It’s no secret that Biden plans to make a considerable effort to remind people of his association with the first black president of the United States. His logo is even doing some of the work for him, aping the circular shape of and red stripes of Oama’s logo.
Well yes, Obama is still popular for some reason and Biden was his VP. Presidential candidates often try to affiliate themselves with a popular president from the past.
It looks like his name is “Jo.”
With the “e” of “Joe” in red and the lack the letter’s vertical line, the logo makes it look like Biden’s first name is “Jo.”
Wait a minute…it does…
We just have to screw with him…
Yes…its coming together nicely.
As a matter of fact, I am indeed satisfied with my antics for one day.
Like all this associated with this site, nothing here is too local. This one is named for the full kilogram of citra hops per barrel they threw in. This results in something similar to taking a bunch of tangerine and grapefruit peels, and liquifying it in a blender. Its just as thick as that sounds too. Its actually not bad for what it is. Lot of body, very fragrant but left me wondering why did I drink this in the middle of a summer day when it was 106 out? San Tan (Vault Series) Kilo Hop Ludicrous IPA 3.0/5
9.8% is a pass for me, beer wise.
That cuts out a really large amount of good beers. Like almost all of Hoppin’ Frog‘s offerings. They did finally start selling 12 oz cans about a year back. Before that it was all kegs and bombers (22 ounce bottles).
probably. but that abv i rather have wine. Beer for me is rarely above 6%. At 10+, I prefer the flavor profile of wine to that of any beer no matter how good.
I used to be a massive beer guy but I’m coming around to your way of thinking these days. There are a few high ABV beers I enjoy but mostly I prefer stuff in the lower range. Not because I’m trying to avoid getting drunk, just that the body of the beer at those ABVs is usually no longer what I’d consider a cool, refreshing beverage to be enjoyed en masse with friends.
Beer is a pass for me, beer wise.
A cider man I see
There are a couple of rare beers that are still instead of carbonated. Of course, the price range, and rarity make it that I wouldn’t recommend it blindly.
I have to admit I don’t particularly care for the smell of beer, either. But maybe I’ve only smelled crappy beers.
I’m gonna do some decimal point shifting here. If it’s more than 9.8%, 98% it’s a shitty IPA.
I’ve been drinking Carlsberg and Bitburger, have some Peroni and Heineken in the fridge also. I’m a fan of this beer that is not bitter swill.
I would expect dark beer like stout or barleywine to be higher abv, I would expect ipa to be in the 6-7%, imperial ipa higher.
Dark is just a color, there are some dark beers (schwarzbier and porter being two examples) that usually clock in at less then 6%. Stouts are also usually in that range (or lower, like Dry Irish stouts), most of the stouts on the market now fall under the Imperial style.
In Romanian JO 2020 looks like Jocurile Olimpice 2020. Make of that what you will.
Also why did this post drop at 19:06 instead of 19:01?
Because fuck you, that’s why.
The vast majority of the rioters and looters are historically illiterate morons. The protesters may be somewhat better, but no guarantees on that given the state of our education system.
functionally illiterate as well
millionaire looting a mall in Scottsdale – he really cares man.
That’s going to win over a lot of hearts and minds.
He is a modern day shock jock. Its for the clicks and views on the Tube
that sounds like libel. I am sure the clout is the last thing on his mind. His heart weeps for the colored.

Amazon has done something stupid. But there is not really an alternative. So I am keeping them (for now…).
At least Amazon hasn’t sent me a mewling email yet.
That’s my line, by the way. Send me an email, and I disassociate. Except for Uber eats. They weren’t that great in the first place.

Fighting Nazis Then Vs Now
A thought on the D-day invasion. How is it that we did not take out the bunkers on the invasion locations immediately prior to the landings? I know a lot of actions were taking place behind enemy lines with paratroopers seizing bridges and taking out one particularly concerning artillery installation. But what good is air superiority if you cannot time a tactical bombing mission just before landing in order to avoid sending troops into an mg42 meat grinder?
My vague recollection is that it was part of the plan but was not effective.
That sounds right. I seem to recall something along the lines that a.) the kind of bombing campaign required to take out the bunkers would’ve had to been carried out well ahead of time to avoid tipping their hand as to the specific invasion date (and not kill people on the beach) and b.) the bunkers themselves were difficult targets for the artillery support they had.
https://ddaysuccessfailuresandcontroversies.wordpress.com/executing-the-plans-3/
key tactic used in the execution of the D-day plans was a strategic, mass bombardment of the German coastal defences in an effort to destroy gun batteries and placements. A bombardment constructed of both bombers in the air and Allied gunships stationed in the sea. However, despite the seemingly logical nature of a pre-invasion bombardment, in this case the Allied efforts were futile and had very little impact upon a large German defensive set up. A view corroborated by the British War Office who reported a number of “near misses”, but “no obvious damage”[5] to the majority of the gun placements overlooking the Normandy beaches
That’s interesting. I was under the impression that they couldn’t focus strategic bombing on the beaches they intended to land on because that would tip their hand.
This is from my reading, I think I remember correctly:
They sent the bombers in on D-Day, perpendicular to the coast. They had calculated very precisely the time to drop, which would require the bombers releasing their bombs whilst still over landing craft swarming in. The idea was to crater the beaches, destroying obstacles, providing cover for infantry, throwing up sand and smoke to obscure targeting, and walking the bombs onto the bunkers.
But the bombers, in the moment, were scared of friendly fire, so they held the release an extra tick, and the bombs flew past the beaches landing inland.
Close support on a defended position, is best fired until the last possible moment. It’s better to lose a couple of your leading assault elements to friendly fire as they make the final push than it is slack fire off too early. The Air Corps heavies, used to dropping bombs all over Geran cities, were not trained in that mindset.
The US Army in Normandy was very much an army of civilians in uniform. You certainly had units which had been blooded in North Africa and Italy, but the army that hit the beach 76 years ago today was, in the main, untested. But they had the Stonewall Brigade in the lead, so there wasn’t any problem at all.
To add into Viking’s comment.
On D-Day the US Army dropped / brought ashore the following major units with the following WWII experience:
1 ID (North Africa and Sicily) (Omaha)
4 ID (rookies) (Utah)
29 ID (rookies) (Omaha)
90 ID (rookies) (Utah- arrived late in the day)
82 ABN (Sicily, Italy)
101 ABN (rookies)
Interesting, especially considering the Nazi wall of defenses was suffering from all the problems government projects always suffer from and was no where near complete.
Bombing in WWII was at best a crapshoot. The technology just wasn’t there to accurately bomb a target. The only somewhat accurate bombing style was dive bombing.
Strategic bombing was notoriously inaccurate. The US would get 20% of the bombs within 1000 yards of the target. The British were better because they used electronic beams to tell them when to drop bombs. Disruption of the beams did happen.
tipping their hand as to the specific invasion date
All kinds of other disinformation was being carried out, including creating a visible, but faux army and equipment. I guess what I am getting at is that I don’t see why we couldn’t have had a short dive-bombing attack specifically targeting the Nazi beach defenses immediately prior to the landings while simultaneously hitting other areas to keep up the ruse. I suppose it could come down to the munitions not necessarily being able to penetrate the bunkers and military leadership knowing that. I am just throwing out ideas.
Reinforced concrete bunkers need to be taken out by direct hits. With no forward observers to correct fire it is a crap shoot. Look st the bombardments of the Japanese held islands. Almost denuded of plants but hard points mostly unscathed.
The general bombardment does disrupt communications and prevent guard troops from protecting the areas between the emplacements.
That’s a really good point. Some of those islands looked like the surface of the Moon, but damned if there weren’t Japanese soldiers popping out of fortified positions.
“including creating a visible, but faux army and equipment.”
Which George Patton was put in command of. The Germans, knowing Patton was the finest combat commander in the US Army, concluded that Patton would be in command of the schwerpunkt. Which he was, Ike was saving him for when they broke out of the Bocage and were in a mobile phase toward the Rhine and beyond.
When Omaha Beach turned into a bloodbath. I believe we moved heavy cruisers in closer to shore to blast some of the bunkers directly.
You left out the obvious reason why the logo is Jo. He’s going to come out as a woman previous to the election, then we can vote for the first black woman president!
Damnit.
That’s a lotta citra. I’m not anti-citra, but I think it’s sort of like white pepper: a little goes a long way, and there are a very few specific use cases where it shines.
white pepper – don’t say that in these trying times

I describe citra as cat piss, but tasty.
It can be abused. It is why I am not as big a fan of Zombie Dust as other people are…citra needs to be a supporting hop, not the lead.
Yeah, the cat pee thing is…weird. It’s sort of like eating an oyster. All your senses are telling you that this is a terrible idea, but experience and hearsay have both convinced you to do something that goes against your every instinct.
It is indeed overbearing.
I think I’m finally getting over this domesticated, suburban life I’m now living. Spent the morning planting flowers, trimming weed, cutting the grass, and now I’m sitting back and honestly enjoying the hell out of the manicured lawn, and planned spaces.
Of course, I was still doing the surburban guy thing while stoned out of my mind and listening to hip hop, so theres that.

I recall she gained some weight at some point. But then I saw her on something a couple years ago and she had lost it. Anyway, something about her so a solid would.

“like vandalizing a statue of Ghandi”
I read somewhere this morning, a comment where someone said ‘soon they’ll take down the statue of liberty’. I would never have believed something like that a few years ago, but now it’s looking more than a little like a probability.
Diplomatic relations with France hardest hit.
Don’t worry, none of the ‘protesters’ know anything about the history of… anything, and the media is not going to enlighten them on that.

The media doesn’t know anything about it either. Have y ou ever met a journalism major?
Nah, the SOL has some vapid virtue-signaling poetry at the bottom. That can stay.
The Constitution on the other hand…
No, it can’t stay. France was a colonial power at one time, and that statue is of a white woman.

SO I found the twitter thread that is the death kneel of libertarianism. It proves once and for all how wrong we are. Although it is a day old and may already have been covered.
https://twitter.com/COsweda/status/1268826524209131520
The answer isn’t to abolish things but to hold people accountable for their malfeasance.
SWAT units are a necessary tool. Because of our open borders, we have transnational criminal organizations here.
And GUESS WHAT, libertarians?
A libertarian obsession is the legalization of marijuana.
Well, now it’s legal in California. The Mexican cartels are now growing in California, and they KILL anyone who approaches their farms.
Legalizing pot caused more murders.
Here’s the deal:
The cartels murder because it’s in their culture.
If you legalized pot nationally, the cartels would have pot farms everywhere, and they’d be MURDERING everywhere.
Libertarians refuse to admit to the existence of evil.
Mexico is a perfect example of a libertarian paradise.
Most cops have no SWAT weapons and training, so they’re massacred.
MURDERERS ENJOY MURDERING.
All I care about is the real world, not intellectual acts of self-pleasure.
Nice….
that was totally not a typo but a smart pun
I can’t recall any libertarians saying that the price of legal weed in Cali should be more than the black market price, because of far left government policies. I guess I missed that.
why don’t you just move to Mexico if you like libertariansm?
Is Mexico the next Somalia?
Nah, they still have roads, even navigable ones in some places.
I still remember the first time I got on a bus near Cancun. The roads were full of crater sized potholes and the bus driver drove like a fucking maniac. All you could do was grab an overhead rail and hang on for dear life.

The National Guard
Somebody has been reading way too much bad crime fiction. Cartels MURDERING anyone who approaches their farms? Shut the fuck up, Karen.
That is nothing new. Back in the early 1990s my unit did recons for grow fields in Southern Cali. More than once we encountered trip wires attached to loaded shotguns at waist height. Once we found an authentic series of punji pits along a route into a grow. These were in the National Forest. My personal favorite was the old mine shack covered inside with goo from the former meth makers.
Legalize it all and remove the punitive taxes. That is how you displace the cartels.
No historically significant person is safe.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Home Secretary Priti Patel — whose department has a wide remit including policing, border control, and national security — had warned against today’s protest in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and associated lockdown regulations, which up until now have been enforced with zeal by the authorities.
Black Lives Matter activists have ignored these warnings, however, with the number of protesters in Parliament Square continuing to swell as of the time of this article’s publication, and the statue erected to the memory of Britain’s war-time leader there already defaced with “ACAB” graffiti — short for “All Coppers Are Bastards”.
Footage shared on social media shows one unidentified man, seemingly not a protester, incensed by the “disgusting” act, and warning the police he will “get all the football lads” out to guard the statue — suggesting it could become a flashpoint later on in the protest.
I guess he said something racist once. Forget all about his leadership during a war against actual Nazis*.
*Unlike the faux nazis that leftist think are everywhere and accuse everyone of being as leftist continue to act like actual fascists.

Re: vandalizing statues. It seems like people being stupid but it’s more about ignorance. These aren’t people who are more or less stupid on average, these are people who are part of and the product of a movement and ideology that is anti-history. Tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee isn’t about correcting racial injustice, it’s about erasing history; they’re choosing Confederates because they’ve primed society to view anything labeled as racist as inherently evil to the point of being indefensible, and so by destroying statues of historically-significant people who can be in any way painted as racist–or where they can paint people who object as racist–they steer away from the intentional destruction of history. This is propaganda. The Chinese communists did something very similar; you erase the past so that you can rewrite it to support your ideology. Orwell knew about this.
they’re choosing Confederates because they’ve primed society to view anything labeled as racist as inherently evil to the point of being indefensible
Never mind the complex circumstances surrounding the war between the states, and every other war for that matter. It is never black and white. ///punintended
Yeah, WWII is another great example of complex historical lessons being thrown out in exchange for “Germans === Nazis === Evil”.
I will say that in the case of WWII, the Versailles Treaty has been, IMO, vastly over sold as a punitive measure. Another thing to thank Keynes for. The German war reparations were, in large part, based on the fact that the German state had in fact stolen huge quantities of agricultural and industrial capital from their occupied territory on the Western Front. The reparations were simple restitution for the French factories, coal, steel, and agricultural products stolen by the Germans in WWI.
Germany was completely intact in 1919. Yes, they had suffered enormous casualties, but so had France and England. Germany had an intact industrial and infrastructural base. Yes, they had reparations to pay, but contrast post WWII. Adenauer, with a muscular liberal and capitalist approach, was able to lead the rebuilding of Germany despite the mass damage and without East Germany or Prussia to draw on.
German revanchism was a deliberate political choice, not some inevitable result of the dastardly Versailles Treaty, which is the conventional wisdom thanks to Keynes writing his book and being “the right kind of expert”. The conventional wisdom is that the difference between 1920 and 1950 Germany is the peace settlement. I argue that it’s the unconditional surrender. Revanchism had fertile soil in the 20s because the German people had not felt the hard hand of war.
My knowledge of the interwar years is especially weak, but my understanding based on what I’ve read and heard is that there was sort of a perfect storm of bad things. The postwar European economy was for shit, Versailles did in fact aggravate an already-weakened German economy as well as play to German pride and Franco-German antagonisms, and Fascism (and National Socialism, and related ideologies) found fertile ground all over the industrial world as a result of the turmoil caused by the war and the Great Depression. Then of course there’s Hitler as a leader, which is an instance of the right man being in the right place at the right time in a diabolical sense; the same can probably be said of Chamberlain, although I think he catches an unjust amount of flak for appeasement.
And don’t undervalue the sense of wasted sacrifice on the part of the German military as espoused by Hitler. He was playing to a sympathetic base, and that base was sympathetic because they felt betrayed both by their own government and by the international community. Germany goes to war because of the Schlieffen Plan, which required an immediate and speedy invasion of France to preempt being double-teamed by France and Russia, and they kicked the whole thing off because of Russian mobilization. I mention this to make the point that from the German perspective they weren’t invading countries as a land grab but as a proactive defense, so when they went to Versailles they expected to be treated as morally-equivalent belligerents, not Hunnish barbarians. I think they thought they could have persecuted the war longer than they did but surrendered under false pretenses.
All of which is to say that the terms and the tenor of Versailles was, I believe, *an* influence on the German push to WW2. And I think that it can be understandable if you put yourself in the shoes of Johan Sechserpack in, say, 1933. That the German state inflicted a lot of the initial damage on itself doesn’t mean that the Allies didn’t pile on and exacerbate the situation.
The issue the Germans had was their homefront was collapsing. There were major issues both economically and politically in Germany before they gave up. They didn’t really lose on the battlefield (one reason Hitler and others like him were upset) but they just couldn’t sustain the effort needed to fight the war. If Germany had continued, something similar to what happened in Russia may have happened in Germany.
The British and French weren’t much better. But with the US joining the war, providing both men and materials, on their side, things would have been easier for them going forward.
The supposed economic consequences of the Treaty are something that mostly stems from Keynes book about it, and from the interwar Left adopting that as a talking point. There’s not actually much evidence that the Treaty ruined the German economy, especially since most the reparations were never actually paid, or were paid in worthless paper currency. Germany was certainly suffering in the interwar period, but so was everyone else do the Great Depression’s effects. They were not unique in being in dire straits.
The issue was the militaristic aristocratic class had been able to sign the armstice and then remain in de factopower. Yes, there was a parliament, but the Weimar Constitution had a rule by decree clause, and that was basically what the executive used to actually govern. Since Germany was never invaded, the propaganda by the militarist right was accepted by the population. The militarist right that launched WWI never lost their social and political power at home. The Allies pruned, but they did not rip the weeds up at the root.
Basically, I argue that if the Allies had pressed on in 1918 and dictated terms in Berlin, there would have been no revanchism, Treaty or not, because the German people would have accepted the result of the war, and the people who started WWI would have been laughed out of political life if they tried to claim otherwise. But since Germany itself was never invaded and occupied, the same people who lost WWI were able to make the case that actually they had not.
This is a really interesting point and now that you say it I recall hearing it elsewhere recently. Basically, the reparations were kind of a joke, because the Germans had nothing left after spending it on the war. The countries that really needed it, e.g. France and Britain, were left in the lurch.
I say burn everything down every 60 years and rebuild on the ashes.
Ah, the European model
I do appreciate a European model.
Yes, yes we do…
Someone once said something similar to that. I can’t remember who though…his statue was removed and I have forgotten.
I think it was the dude that thought Robespierre was going to be the tits.
I can’t help but to think that we really lost the Cold War. Putin must be laughing his ass off right now. Once all the wokeness is in charge of everything here, including the military, all engineering, everything, imagine how long we last in a war with Russia or China? Let me be clear here, those guys are not engaging and are not engaging in any of this wokeness shit. This is going to be the end of the USA.
Culture and ideas drive a nation…attack that and you win. I think you just may be on the right path.
It seems that every generation or two we have to relearn that lesson: ideas matter.
Why fight for yourself when we will give you everything you need, albeit under slavery, you are free. You will have food and water, shelter, education, a sense of belonging.
No corporate master holding you back. If you are being held back, its dissenters not having the right point of view. You are owned everything to us. Just submit and it will all end.
I’m sure Putin thinks this is pretty funny. They actually became a fairly conservative society and were being overrun by soft Marxism. If the Soviets could just have held out for another thirty years they would have crushed us.
The Soviet Union gave us an external enemy to focus on. Without that we are busy fighting each other.
You’re more right than you know.
I don’t much like talking about it because it sounds too conspiratorial even for me, but this is one time where truth is stranger than fiction. The whole progressive woke mindset was born of KGB-funded social scientists, for the express purpose of weakening a society to the point that it would be vulnerable to a Marxist takeover.
People worry that we are headed for a new Cold War with China. I think that would be the best thing possible for us right now.
Or we can bomb some aspirin factories to whip up national fevor
Maybe a cloroquine factory!
Tom Wolf: I Know It Was ‘Inconsistent’ to Violate Guidelines to Protest
Translation: I know that the continued covid lock-down is absolute bullshit, but I don’t care.
Things I think are important justify a violation, things I don’t think are important don’t.
IE, “rule by man” not “rule by law”
Fuck that guy and the tranny. They have many deaths on their hands.
At least saying “yeah, it is hypocritical. Get over it” is an honest answer. The doublthink being employed by the “medical community” that signed that letter or his health secretary (or the media) is what is staggering.
Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine, born Richard Levine, also defended Wolf’s decision to participate in the protest, despite weeks of warnings to adhere to the lockdown orders and phased opening guidelines. [Emphasis added.]

No offense or anything, but that is the last person I believe should be giving anyone medical advice.
I honestly thought the chainsaw man was black thanks to the crappy video. Sounds like he’s latino and not onboard with getting his store looted – so he’s been arrested and charged.
Charged with what? Ah fuck it.
Sounds like he’s latino

I’d say someone should start a gofundme for that hombre’s defense fund but it’d just get taken down.
Maybe you could use a smoke screen of PC talk – “Funding for latino and immigrant owned small business recovery…”

Oprah brings in Abrams for a talk about racial tensions = brave, the right thing to do, its what we need.
Pence brings in Owens = racists!
*Owens is a blowhard but so is Abrams.
Owens is at least intelligent, anti-racebaiting and hawt.
I don’t know how much of the character she plays is actually her… but yes, hawt.
She’s actually at the tip of a social media creation that is new the last few years. “Black people react to white culture”.
I first noticed it with a hot black chick supposedly listening to Rush for the first time. She gives it her stamp of approval. From that I found an entire genre of hip-hop styled african americans who listen to rock music and comment on how ‘this shit is dope!’
She’s a genius, either intentionally or accidentally. Telling people what the want to hear is always a good business model.
Leave Ivanka alone!
A commencement address previously recorded by Trump was set to air Saturday at Wichita State Tech’s graduation ceremony in Kansas. She had been invited back in February to deliver some remarks, but on Thursday, an assistant professor at Wichita State University, the tech school’s parent campus, wrote a whiny letter to faculty about how “horrified and disgusted” she was by Trump’s scheduled appearance.
The letter, written by Jennifer Ray, complained that as an administration official, Trump was complicit in the president’s supposedly “callous disregard of the concerns of black people, immigrants, and Latinx people.”
Mind you, Trump’s speech for the commencement had been recorded in mid-May due to the logistical complications caused by the coronavirus, according to the White House. This was well before the combustible national protests over the death of George Floyd.
But after the letter penned by Ray, a woman who isn’t involved with the tech school, Wichita State Tech President Sheree Utash decided to cancel Trump’s speech.
“In light of the social justice issues brought forth by George Floyd’s death, I understand and take responsibility that the timing of the announcement was insensitive,” Utash said in a statement on Thursday. “For this, I’m sorry. That was never the intent, and I want you to know I have heard you and we are responding.”
The Tumps are racist Aryan nation types despite all evidence to the contrary. That is the narrative and we are sticking to it.
We had some takeout Indian food for lunch. Damn, that was tastey.
Lamb vindaloo, samosas, and bullet naan is my go to order.
I had chicken tikka masala, extra spicy and a couple pakoras.
Good deal. One of the local places goes 1-10 for heat. 10 is almost too hot for me. I usually order an 8.
I laughed one of the times an Indian coworker was surprised I knew Indian food. FFS, I work in IT.
Lamb vindaloo and garlic naan. Our local place has a 1-5 heat scale. I ordered 4, because I know how hot that shit can get. I must say that I was surprised that there’s a hotter version there. I was leaking out of all cranial orifices.
Well, lot’s of negativity. Not unearned, but whatever. Still, don’t forget that cherries are in season.

Weirdos just now discover that other races get brutalized by the police
I like that guy, he speaks clearly with meaning and doesn’t buy into any of this bullshit.
And he was just savaging Sarwark on Twitter last night
I’d never heard of him until I heard an interview he did recently. I like the cut of his jib. I know how this sounds, but the more people who vocally advocate for liberty who don’t look like…well, let’s just say the stereotypical libertarian and leave it at that…the better. The bad guys use race to divide and conquer through collectivism, so the more that’s broken down the better. Eventually, and this is crazy, we might get to a place where the idea that you could predict how someone will vote based on the color of their skin or their accent might seem like some bizarre anachronism.
Jake Paul, a YouTube personality Who?

Now the thunderstorms have arrived and I have lightning and everything.
Jelly. Can’t seem to get any storms here even when we are supposed to. That, said, one did pass just to the south last night and got a decent amount of distant lightning and thunder out of it.
These youtube personalities make more money and have a larger audience than the people you do recognize.
Much larger than Rachel Maddow, for instance.
This particular dude has over 20 million subscribers. (Maddow audience fluctuates in the low single digit millions)

Disgraceful.
“Images showing FBI staffers taking a knee during heated protests in the nation’s capital have generated intense debate online, with some critics demanding they be fired, arguing the bureau should remain “apolitical.””
That’s bad enough, but the military who kneeled need to be drummed out.
Agreed.
Is it too much to ask for government agents to remain non-political while on duty?
They are,quite seriously, asserting that BLM is apolitical. That this is purely a question of justice. That kneeling is not a political statement, but simply The Right Thing To Do.
That would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous.
The Left’s been doing it for decades, this is just the natural conclusion of the idea that “I don’t have politics, I just know The Right Thing To Do and The Experts Say ____________”
Have you watched the news in the last four…uh…twenty years?
Federal agents support the federal government, i.e. the swamp, or the establishment. Trump poses a threat to the establishment. Real law enforcement reform instead of painting murals in the streets and making white people feel bad is a threat to the establishment. So they kneel. And every other agency will do the same.
The cultishness and quasi-religious quality of the progeny/SJW/hard left should be obvious to everyone at this point.
Should be.
Our entire political and economic ruling class, both the nomenklatura and the apparatchiks, is in the grips of a religious mania. This will not end well.

Just remembered early America didn’t even have police
Straightforward from here originalists:
– abolish police
– fire all DAs and AGs
– let private citizens bring suit for criminal offenses
– victimless crimes now defunct
– everyone has weapons
– death penalty for all felonies

My uber driver today was from Albania. He wanted to talk about our police. Why do they have such bad attitude he asks. Why they bother regular people for do nothing. Why don’t your left and your right politicians just sit down make compromise?
I gave him my thoughts. He actually brought up possibly not having police and apologized instantly for saying something so crazy but he didn’t know he was dealing with.
I wish the drive lasted longer
The biggest problem with the police is the financial incentive to enforce petty laws. That is the main reason they fuck with people who aren’t bothering anyone. Couple that with unaccountability and you have a serious problem.
That’s what I said. Too many laws and accountability mainly because of how powerful their unions are. He said I was 2nd person to mention the unions
I didnt mention the unions but I was thinking them. Public sector unions are a problem with more than the police.
Fortunately in Louisiana our largest police presence are sheriff’s departments. Elected sheriffs, directly accountable to voters and they dont allow unions with sheriff’s departments.
Luckily we are only spending 34% of GDP on government (all levels)
so there’s plenty of room for more money for the government.
I dunno about that. For every dollar going into government that is a dollar not doing something productive. More dollars to govt mean a drop off in wealth production meaning a smaller trough for them to put their snouts in.
Ding ding ding
I mean, I’ve often said one of the more immoral things about modern criminal justice is that the victims of crime are forced to house, clothe, feed, medically care for, and educate people who have violated their rights. A woman working late gets raped on the way to the subway, she gets to pay for her rapists defense attorney, and then to feed and house him for 10 years. Then when he gets out, she gets to pay for his transition program. Maybe one day she’ll turn on the TV and see him getting some kind of award for “turning his life around” from a politician she also gets to pay for.
I strongly favor corporal punishment and victim restitution as the foundational principle of the criminal justice system. Prison is basically a scholarship program designed to create more criminals and more effective criminals. Even if the only people in prison were actual criminals, you throw a 19 year old punk who pushed an old lady down and took her purse in there for 5 years sharing a cell with a 40 year old serial rapist, what are the odds that he comes out better? Beat his ass with a cane 10 times, log his crimes in the system, and turn him loose. If he does it again, hit him 20 times.
Incarceration as the default is a relatively recent phenomenon. Historically, the setup was usually some combination of execution, corporal punishment, shaming, restitution and exile. Maybe our ancestors weren’t such dummies.

I was trying to think as to why a Gandhi statue might be defaced aside from general nihilism, then I remembered the he has been slowly unpersoned over the last decade or so in academia for comments like these:
https://theprint.in/opinion/ramachandra-guha-is-wrong-a-middle-aged-gandhi-was-racist-and-no-mahatma/168222/
Given that context, I’m not overly surprised at the vandalism. I don’t approve, but I’m not surprised.
You’re giving them too much credit.
Probably, but I have heard some minor rumblings about his racism for several years now. Maybe it’s too much to ask that the vandalism had at least had some minor thought behind it.
Hell. It was called out on the P&T Bullshit episode a couple years back. Not that any Prog would watch hatemongers P&T.
Yeah… much more likely “we’re here…. we have this paint….. Look! A statue!”
Or a rogue group of Pakistanis.
He was a total asshole IMO as well.
I would think their objection is that he promoted non-violence. These rioters don’t seem like big fans of non-violence. They dont really give half of a fuck about racism anyway.
Bingo
Same with the revisionism around MLK. Me too him into irrelevance. As with the uniqueness of the American Revolution with Washington giving up power unreservedly, so too the civil rights movement. Largely, almost entirely nonviolent even in the face of violence, even when condoned or perpetrated by governments. Yet it didn’t descend into armed violence and insurgency unlike many other similar movements elsewhere.
It’s funny, because I remember all the “MLK Jr. cheated on his wife” from my grandfather in the 80s and 90s. This will be my grandfather who taught me at least seven racial slurs against black people that I’ve never heard anywhere else. Prior to ODB I’d never heard someone say “nigger” as often as grandpa. So, yeah, it’s a little ironic from my perspective.
As said…too much credit. I would bet a large sum they have no idea who or what that statue represents. To them, its a statue so probably racist and must be taken down. Nihilism was the correct call.
That’s my take.
I’m fine with the overall sentiment of not having statues of people going forward.
As with so much else, it comes down to the double standard. They will never take down the statues of FDR to show sensitivity to the Japanese-American community. It will not happen.
If Trump was the troll he thinks he is, he’d demand it happen right now. He’d go on TV and talk about how BLM has completely open his eyes, and that he calls on true anti-racists to go to the FDR memorial right now and rip that statue down. Not one more day can we allow the veneration of a man who threw thousands of Americans in a concentration camp because of the color of their skin.
Can we remove the MLK statue in DC first? The dude was a Republican fer Chrissakes.
You know what I’m tired of? Racism being painted as the greatest sin ever.
To help make people feel a little better.
Yeah… but she didn’t post the video where he chewed holes in her underwear.
Yup. Years ago I had a dwarf rabbit who was litter trained and had the run of the apartment. He’d get into the laundry basket and chew up the crotches of my undies.
So TT bought you another rabbit?
I mentioned recently that our newest dog is a whippet. He does that all that time with my clothing. Anything on the ironing board gets used to feather his bed. He doesnt chew them up, he just lays on them. His puppyhood was horrible and he barely survived it. Now he lives in luxury. He seems grateful but he is still a little shy. I put him in the bed at night and I can feel him creeping an inch or two at a time until he is either laying across my neck or literally laying on top of me.
He is turning out to be a cute little bugger.
When a problem comes along, you must whippet.
Only a pup, really couldn’t blame him…
I’ve had pits that do that with clothes. Mostly, I think they just liked stealing them, because it always ended in a game with the humans, which is fun.
My aunt had a pair of whippets she got from a whippet rescue. Sweetest dogs you could ask for, but definitely skittish. Those type of dogs, the whippets, greyhounds, etc., always make me nervous, like I’m afraid if I bump into one I’ll break it.
After owning pits for 30 years, I’m that way about most dogs.
Pits are the only dogs I’ve heard of that will do stuff like dislocate joints because they take too sharp a turn on linoleum, or pass out from heat stroke because they won’t stop trying to keep up with the jogging owner on a hot day.
Mind you, my Jack, aka “Built for Comfort”, will get to the end of the block and then just lay down in the closest yard until he’s ready to move on. As they say, some breeds have tendencies but all dogs are individuals.
Our dachshund loves to roll around in clean laundry
So does my cat
Can you blame them? Clean laundry is all warm and fluffy. Judging from the past few months, it’s no longer possible to believe humans are smarter than their pets.
My late, long lamented cat used to steal my dirty t shirts to cuddle with when I was at work. It’s been almost ten years and I still miss that cat. He was special.
Finally some good news!

That made me smile.
I dont think we have a dedicated ‘dispatcher’…or we kind of do. One of whoever is in the office at the time answers the phone.
I have told this story before but it is funny so I will tell it again.
Wife and I are sitting on the back porch drinking coffee and watching the sun rise. Out of nowhere a calf appears and runs into the woods before I could catch it. I call the sheriff and told her what happened.
“Ooooh yes, was it brown and white? Yes? I know who that belongs to. I will give him a call. ”
Ten minutes later the owner is at my house with his trailer.
Yes, I live in Mayberry
I’m jealous. I can’t wait to get to Mayberry. Do you have any of that swampland for sale, Suthen? I’m about ready to buy some and put a bridge on it.
I see they are making sure to cut the most visible positions first.
They’re just doing Washington Monument strategy and maximize the public pain. Last thing they’re going to do is cut the fat and deadweight.
There’s no doubt they are going to suffer collateral damage. They are not too smart after all, evil malicious devious douchebags, yes. Smart, not a chance.
The other thing is a poll I saw a few weeks back, not that polls matter, but we might want to pay a little attention to this one. The results was that 60% of parents were considering home schooling their kids. That HAS to happen. There are 3 things that liberty minded folks have to see wrecked to win.
1. Public education.
2. The MSM.
3. The dominance of woke social media.
3. The woke social media.
Here’s you war folks, there are your targets. We win or lose, that is the objective.

You never lose me when you suggest that an illegitimate action of a government should be stopped, unbudgeted, vacated.
With 2 & 3, the question is less about how the folk we disagree with enjoy themselves and more about how other ideas are sold. You don’t imply that anyone else’s property or rights be infringed, of course, but you don’t point to a treatment for root cause; the engineer in me wants a cleaner diagnosis and cure, not that anyone reading Glibs would misread you. Every retired deplorable already spends all day listening to FoxNews (with breaks for Rush and Beck, of course); what’s your plan: cheerleaders, The Young Republican Channel, the Society of Anti-Socialism Baptist Lay Lecturers? I’m not kidding: the cultures are set and everyone is pretty happy with their respective side . . . so what moves the needle other than hand-waving about the MSM?
Well, it’s all good questions, and I have no answers. Anyone else wants to chime in, I’m all for it. Knowing the problem is not the same as having the solution. But recognizing the problem, is a start.
Never gonna happen though. Public daycare is just too easy. And you’re already forced to pay for it.

They’re cute.

Mine are hairy.
I knew a Gould from Cali a long time ago. Played hockey with him.
Ducklings are so peaceful
The last time I played hockey was New Years Eve 1987 on a frozen Olentangy River. Many Busch beers were drank that night. And then I jumped into a lot of hedges and bushes. I lost my sweet-ass punk rock leather jacket with pins and stickers and safety pins and spikes and shit. Woke up on my friends living room floor wet and shivering. Got a head cold that lasted two weeks.
Duckling stew?

Spoiler: 1. Whole Paycheck 2. Costco 3. Trader Joe’s
Which are the worst rated? I’d like to take my chances there. I don’t even remember to wash my hands anymore.
I’m not shopping anywhere I have to play wait-in-line theater to get in. Luckily I only saw that one time and at one store around here and that was weeks ago.
I refuse to wait in lines, or to wear a mask. It’s limited my shopping by a small amount.
I don’t care about the masks. I kind of have to not care, because it’s required everywhere. Stopped wearing it outdoors, though.
Thankfully, masks are only required for employees here. And I’ve seen that being ignored quite a bit.
I am not waiting in line outside TJs. Their frozen fried rice isn’t that good.
I went once since this started. The line moved quickly and the inside was actually pleasant to shop in for once, not the usual overcrowded sardine can.
I’ll go there again when people pull their heads out of their asses.
It’s Trader Joe’s, the people who usually shop there, at least around here, have their heads permanently up their asses. That was the nice thing about being uncrowded for once.
“Whole Paycheck” that’s funny,
/Smirk
I gotta agree…. that’s quality snark.
I’d give recommendations and cautions but they probably vary too much by zip code, let alone city / county / state / region. I will say that my local Grocery Outlet the other day was pretty chilled, no marks on the floor. Love that place.

The stadiums will be open for burning and looting?
That’s what I’d do if I was a sports team: “Friday is protest day at Fenway Park. Seats, concessions will be available for sale along with live baseball! 15% of all ticket receipts will go to feeding the homeless!” What’s the god damned difference?
The players won’t go for it.

Nah, I like Depeche Mode – up to about 1990. What I probably said was something along the lines of how I don’t think a lot of it holds up as well as, say, New Order or The Cure. So I rarely listen to them any more.
Black Celebration was a great album.
Yep, probably their best. “But Not Tonight” is my favorite song of theirs.
Dead thread but:
One of my faves! And an apparent throwaway for that silly movie Modern Girls.
Here Is the House might be my favorite.
