It’s that time of year when we ask ourselves, “Why the fuck did we move here?” We’re sheltering in place this weekend, not because of some virus deal, but because the overnight low temperatures are higher than any reasonable location’s high temperature. I’m melting.
Know what else is melting? The candles on birthday cakes, and those birthdays include a guy who thought Shakespeare was problematic; the Father of Modern Policing; a guy who definitely had style; a guy whose hairstyle inspired Sloopy; a guy who didn’t think Shakespeare was problematic; the star of my favorite John Waters film; a boxer renowned for his sparkling wit and good looks; and a guy who wishes you all the best returns of the day.
News might be crazy-ass, but it’s news.
I am totally shocked at how this story played out. Shocked.
I am totally shocked to find that Chicago police are just one more corrupt and violent gang.
I was wondering if it was Glibertarians.com but it wasn’t. Damn, we could use the publicity.
Old Guy Music is one of those country songs that makes me think, “If more country music was like this, I’d listen to more country music.”

Well I was hoping to peacefully enjoy the morning links on the deck with a nice cup of coffee. But no, apparently the Taj Mahal is still under construction 2 houses down.
My sympathies. I hate for anything to disturb the peace of Tranquility Base on a weekend morning. So far so good – a bit early for lawn care, and the couple who have been slowly moving in next door (the side closest to TBase) seem like nice, quiet folks (at least based on Tom T’s encounters with them to date.) I hope the construction cacophony in your neighborhood ends ASAP.
It’s been going on for months. Metal on stone/concrete is the worst. Jeebus, invest in a new blade already!
That’s one of the nice things about living in the middle of nowhere.
That, and nobody complains when you play your music?

That Muscadet was not bat at all. Maybe OMWC does know a thing or two about wine.
He knows wine, you know bats?
Does Missouri have red flag laws?
Probably. But the entire point of red flag laws is that the don’t require a warrant, and the cops apparently had one.

If more jazz music was like Brubeck’s Time Out, I’d listen to more jazz.
That’s fair. And an incredibly high bar for most jazz music to achieve.
Also in the attempt to have a rye in the house I bought a templeton 6 yo. It is somewhat better than the one straff made me buy, but still nothing special. it is hard to get decent rye in this country and the Rittenhouse I used to get is still out of stock everywhere in Romania
Uh oh. Is something bad happening with Rittenhouse. It’s one of my go to ryes but I haven’t found any in three weeks.
High West Double Rye is my current pinch hitter

Woke up a bit late but still headed to the lake ti fish. Hope I dont kill my teenager cause face it…they are just little assholes at age 15

You still on that same support call, Neph?
Finally got off it around 00:45. They’re planning on doing a reconvene this morning at 10:00. Thankfully, they chose a meeting format that I don’t have access to (their MS Teams environment). So I let them know (again) that I don’t have access to that, forwarded it to my team, so we’ll see if someone else does have access and can jump on it this morning.
Well… based on the call last night, the reconvene was supposed to be at 10:00 (Eastern), based on the meeting invite, it looks like there was a time zone confusion, and it’s set to start at 09:00 (Eastern). Which I still can’t join.
Sorry I missed the circle jerk last night. Got called into work. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
No worries, I got called into work too. I get to jump back onto another conference call here in 40 minutes (the person who sent the first one out realized his time zone error when the primary resource we needed didn’t join).
I’m going to be very pissed off if this issue is due to the fact they’re in the middle of an upgrade, and half the system is down.

The camera covers are for any camera. I used to use tape, but got tired of it. The little slides are only 2 – 3x the size of tape. It is shocking that such a small thing could cause this.

The subject of Old Guy Music is also a cool dude, with a much darker story.

Now that SCOTUS has made the President a king…
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/506844-trump-says-hell-sign-order-with-road-to-citizenship-for-daca
So now the Dem are against it?
Why?
Because he’s a political pragmatist.
Because Donald Trump is a butt-licking synchophant that craves adulation above all else? Because he’s a fucking moron that listens to the last sentence that he heard? This guy is our only shot at stemming the tide. This guy. Fuck me.
Unless he wants to undo and e.o. that the court agrees with even though it is constitutionally dubious.
You’re not allowed to undo Obama era EO’s, so says the supreme court!
Torches and pitchforks! It would turn out worse than the “Peasant’s Rebellion” against King Henry II.
I’m sure the courts will scrutinize this one and overturn any sort of punishment or restriction while leaving an illegal pathway to citizenship in place.
“”I’m going to do a big executive order. I have the power to do it as president and I’m going to make DACA a part of it,” Trump responded. “But, we put it in, and we’ll probably going to then be taking it out. We’re working out the legal complexities right now, but I’m going to be signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order, which Supreme Court now, because of the DACA decision, has given me the power to do that.””
Every time I hear Trump talk, I just get this sinking shudder going from the back of my neck down to the pit of my stomach. “I’m signing a very major immigration bill as an executive order”?? What the hell does that even mean?
Maybe I’m wrong but to me it means he was on Telemundo and just started making shit up to get out of there. I had a boss who used to do this all the time. We might be talking one day over lunch about “What do we do about system X” and I would say, “Well it would take significant investment- I’d say on the order of a year for a team to work on”. Note, he makes no decisions or anything. Then at an All Hands 6 months later, someone asks him, “What are you doing about system X?”. And he will just out of the blue say, “Oh yes, Overt owns that. He has been working very hard on replacing system X, and it is a huge plan that will take him a year, but when it is done, we will have the best system. A system X-squared, you might say. So address all questions to Overt.”
The same thing happened when Trump went and said Google was building him a giant website to handle all covid response. Somewhere, deep down there, is a faint spark of a related truth, but it in no way resembles what Trump is implying.
I had that done to me at briefings. Usually the team leader gave the exit briefing, which I had prepared administratively but was only familiar with my portion technically.
Team leader would open the briefing “And now I’ll turn it over to Fourscore” or “Score and a half, as I was better known at the time”. I’d jump through hoops and finally have the individuals that had done their technical part to explain their findings. Kept me on my toes, working with that guy, who also was my rater.
Part of me thinks he was talking shit, because the Supreme Court does seem to think he can create a law via executive order, which is what Obama did with DACA.

Am I missing something here? Was there ever a legitimate reason or a legal warrant to seize Trump’s tax returns? I’ve always thought it to be just a witch hunt. The article sights ‘hush money’ but that was a legal transaction.
No. They’ve not had any basis for an investigation. The NYC DA and the SDNY AUSA are completely out of line and should be all fired.

During the years that Neff wrote for him at Fox, Carlson has hosted one of the most influential shows on cable news. In the last quarter, Carlson had not only the highest-rated program in cable news, but the highest-rated show in the history of cable news. Carlson also counts President Trump among his most loyal viewers. On multiple occasions, the President has tweeted out videos of Carlson’s program. Which is to say, the scripts that Neff likely helped write and shape were being shared by the President of the United States.
Guilt by association. IMPEACH!
They’re working hard to find anything on anyone associated with Carlson. Tucker himself is probably about as squeaky clean as they come.
He’s the guy in the back when someone is getting a “noogie” saying “Come on, Guys…” No, they won’t find anything on Carlson.
Doesn’t matter. In their minds they have already discredited everything he has ever said.

If the couple defending their property are not being charged with a crime, why did they get the rifle confiscated? FYTW?
Yes.
To leave them undefended, I would guess.
It’s not uncommon for the pigs to confiscate any weapons found at a self-defense shooting. I’m honestly surprised they hadn’t done it already.
Ok, for a ballistics test that makes sense. My understanding is the trigger was not pulled in this case.
I didn’t say that it made sense, just that it’s pretty typical practice. Be prepared.
I think you could charge the wife with something, because she’s pretty damn reckless with that pistol. I don’t recall Pink Polo doing anything too terrible.
But, yeah, this is just malice by the DA. There is no need for the cops to have the rifle to “investigate” anything. Here’s hoping the cops didn’t take all their guns, or that they pick up a couple more pronto. I’m sure there’s plenty of FFLs who would process a nominal “sale” by one of their friends or neighbors if need be. Because they are definitely a target now.

Last month, Neff mocked a user who said they were leaving the board over concerns about the rampant racism on it. In a now-deleted comment, the user implored others to “consider the current environment,” writing, “The country is undergoing a great awakening to racist injustices throughout society. Maybe you should take this opportunity to consider whether continuing to post here is morally defensible at all, even if you aren’t posting deranged shit? I don’t think it is defensible, which is why I am leaving.”
On June 16, Neff responded by quoting the user’s words and adding, “LMAO if you think this shit will save you when the mob comes for you. Good riddance.” The language notably echoed Carlson’s comment, eight days before, when he had said “remember that when they come for you.”
Concern trolls get the bullet, too.

“The BCG vaccine given to every British teenager between 1953 and 2005 to protect against tuberculosis could offer protection against Covid-19, a new study has found.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) was first mass produced in 1924, and widespread vaccination for secondary school children was only halted in the UK when TB was effectively eradicated.
Academics in the US compared the BCG jab’s popularity in several countries with each nation’s coronavirus outbreak — including both infections and deaths — and found a clear link between the vaccine and a lower mortality rate from Covid-19.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8509655/BCG-DOES-protect-against-Covid-19-study-confirms.html
Wait, I’m looking at this and is this “study” based entirely on correlation? I’ve seen this a lot lately (particularly with the masks).
The reasons why “correlation doesn’t imply causation” are many, but for stuff like this you can mine for sufficiently low ‘p’ values if you look at enough different things. They need to slow down a bit until the dynamic is studied directly.
Yep, mining correlations is a reasonable way to identify targets for potential further empirical research but drawing hard conclusions from it can be dangerous.
But-but-but look at my P-value! 1e-04! Publication!
You might just be amazed at the amount of pharmaceuticals that are approved on the basis of statistical correlation alone. No mechanism that is actually postulated let alone proven – just hey, based on some trials this had some benefit for x percent. No we don’t know why, but we’re happy to sell it!
Not amazed, just dismayed. I’m a data analyst by trade, and more and more, in every field, we’ve moved on from machines doing the hard grunt work (millions of calculations) to letting them do our thinking for us (setting the computer loose on data and going to have a slice of pizza).
Examining the relationship between A and B is one thing. Blazing through thousands of possible A’s in order to find one with a relationship with B is flat malpractice, but is being encouraged instead of discouraged.
The BCG vaccine is not some random possible factor. It’s been around for a century. It has a history of being effective for diseases that have nothing to do with tuberculosis. For example, it’s used as a form of immunotherapy in several types of cancer.
We call this “Deep Learning.”

The police there have gotten the message that the rest of America has gotten: If you shoot an Antifa activist because you or your property is in jeopardy, you’re in deep deep trouble. You might not go to prison but you will be publicly pilloried and you might lose your job and the things you’ve worked your whole life to achieve. Take the beating or lose your ass.
I’m sure you know this, but just for the back line – taking a beating with a hammer is not taking a beating. It’s attempted murder.
I might lose my job, I might be publicly pilloried by a bunch of assholes I don’t care about, I might even go to jail, but there is no way I’m putting my family through my funeral (or worse, forty years of changing my diapers and cleaning up my drool.)

Get the rope!
By commuting the prison sentence of Roger Stone, President Donald Trump has made his contempt for the rule of law plain for all to see. Clemency for a crony convicted of interfering with an investigation of presidential malfeasance is a flagrant abuse of power.
——-
Stone, Trump’s friend and a longtime Republican political operative, was sentenced to more than three years in prison for lying to congressional investigators and witness tampering in matters related to inquiries about Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. The investigation by Robert Mueller, the special counsel who conducted the probe of Russia’s activities, concluded not only that Stone had behaved improperly, but that Trump’s public actions praising him were part of what amounted to obstruction of justice. 1 The decision Friday night to commute Stone’s sentence comes after other presidential actions taken after the impeachment acquittal by the Senate that include the firing of several inspectors general, retaliation against officials who testified truthfully to Congress, and of course Trump’s continuing refusal to submit to normal oversight by Congress. All were abuses of presidential power, exactly what the impeachment and removal power of Congress is designed for.
No more investigations are needed to establish that fact. Trump simply has given up on even the pretense of respecting the rule of law and honoring his oath of office. Rather than follow his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Trump is trampling on that document and all it means.
The only question is what to do about it.
And that comes down to Republicans.
President Cartoon Villain commuted the traitor Stone’s sentence?
Let the banana republic shrieking commence.
I’m not sure Trump could recognize the constitution if it was read to him. But this shrieking about his unique villainy is ridiculous. Obama ordered the extra-judicial assassination of an American citizen and hardly anyone gave a rip.
Those of us who did were promptly reminded that is was double-plus-ungood racist of us to criticize anything the Obamessiah ordered.
Obama may have got the son, but Trump got his daughter.
The question these loons fail to ask: does the president have the authority to do this?
They do not ask that because it is better to make political hay of the situation including the ‘muh Russia’ fever dreams that still persist for some reason.
And then-
So however outlandish Trump’s words and deeds, whether he’s suggesting that it might be a good idea for people to inject bleach to cure a coronavirus infection, or attacking a popular Black Nascar driver who found a noose being used as a garage pull, or excusing any number of corrupt actions taken on his behalf, it’s hard for them to criticize the top of their ticket.
But if Republicans wanted an escape hatch — and they should, given how he’s dragging down the party and is apparently unable to do much these days other than feel sorry for himself — now they have one. As we saw during the winter, there’s no strict protocol for impeachment, meaning that if both parties are on board, it could happen very quickly. Indeed, if Republican and Democratic leaders wanted to cooperate, they could do the whole thing in a week or two.
You want a banana republic? This is how you get a banana republic. Why not just call for a military coup, or political assassination, outright?
Just wait until he is re-elected.
Send Martha Stewart back to prison!
Jesus. Like most of us here, I’m not a fan of Trump, but these assholes are doing everything they can to make me one.

MWAHAHAHAHA!
attacking a popular Black Nascar driver
Who?
The only correct thing in that fragment is driver. [And I have to love the de-capitalization of NASCAR; what a maroon.]
“suggesting that it might be a good idea for people to inject bleach to cure a coronavirus infection”
Yes, yes. And he also said that neonazis are very fine people.
It is amazing how these “journalists” can persist with things that are patently false. Narrative/truth over facts, comrade.
“Help us Bill Kristol, you’re our only hope!”
I am not sure what to make of the Carlson writer story. He just happens to be guilty of what the shrieking left accuses everyone-not-them of being all of the time? Seems a bit suspicious.
He’s just guilty of saying edgy things on the internet and giving up enough personal information to get doxxed. We don’t tend to go into the racial stuff here but there is plenty of stuff that’s said on Glibertarians every day that the left would consider cancel worthy so I’m not going to cluck my tongue too much.
Yes. It is also noteworthy that sometimes you say shit you maybe don’t mean, or that you said in the heat of the moment and *gasp* after thinking about it, feel you can’t stand behind.
The other day, I went through trying to cleanse old facebook posts and other board posts, because I am desperately worried that some of this will get me fired.

Don’t listen to her, Joe!
Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.), a first-term member who represents a district President Trump won by roughly 7 points in 2016, said that polls showing the president trailing former Vice President Joe Biden are “inaccurate.”
“I don’t believe it,” Slotkin told Politico Magazine when asked about recent polls showing Biden performing well in key swing states, such as Michigan. FiveThirtyEight currently has Biden nearly 10 points ahead of Trump in Slotkin’s state of Michigan.
The former CIA analyst said there are too many variables at play for a poll to accurately reflect what will happen in November.
“Listen, if anyone tells me they can accurately predict what major events are coming in the remainder of 2020, I’ll give them a thousand dollars,” Slotkin said. “I mean, this has been the year of black swans. … I don’t for one minute think this [presidential] race is safe in anyone’s column. I’ve been literally begging people to ignore those polls. They are a snapshot in time. And if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we have no idea what’s coming next.”
Just keep doing what you’re doing, Joe. Keep telling us all about your Cancel KKKapitalism platform. Make sure everybody knows “middle class” is just shorthand for union parasites. Keep calling your presumptive voters anti-intellectual racist homophobic woman-haters. Let Gulag Barbie write your speeches for you.

Really? I might actually go to one if they served wecks.
The original name of the chain was BW3. The W3 stood for Wild, Wings, and Weck. You used to be able to get any burger or sandwich served on weck. Sometime in the early 2000’s (IIRC) the weck was removed from the menu, after they changed their name in 1998.
I worked at the BW3 in Bloomington, IN back between 89-91. The dudes who started it were super cool, and when I would visit the Columbus, OH location would buy my party’s beers. I was in at the “ground floor” with those guys, and considered sticking with the Company to see where I go.
Then I moved to Los Angeles, and fell out of touch with those guys. Then, they sold it to some investors. Investors dropped the weck, and rapidly expanded locations. Including in LA. I got so excited when I went there around 2008, i think. And I was just like… what the fuck is this?!?!
BW3 is no longer. It’s Buffalo Wild Wings, now. And Dan Patrick does the commercials. And Dan Patrick is a dipshit. Therefore, so is that restaurant chain.
I’m gonna stretch and go for a run now.
A group of us used to go to the one on Euclid Ave. right by E 305th on a regular basis. It went out of business a while back, and is another bar now. I still remember the one in the East Bank of the Flats as well. That building is still empty.
They got rid of the weck??? Even I know about the weck! (In-laws in far western NY)
Where are they, if I may ask?
Bemus Point, right on Lake Chautauqua. (Chautauqua Lake? Whichever.)
Spitting distance from Scary Lucy!
Sooo…I guess I should beware the next time we visit?
The lobby bar at the Holiday Inn I used to work at in downtown Buffalo gave out free beefs on weck every Friday night. It was amazeballs.
I used to go up to Lockport for work all the time. There was nothing I liked better than my team taking me out to the Silo for haystacks. The weck did not do it for me, though.
God what beautiful country up there. The wife and I were about a month away from buying a summer home up there so that I could work on site 3 months a year. But then I changed jobs and stopped going there more than once every couple years. I miss it.
After what the NFL and the NBA did this year? Nobody…

‘Fly, yes. Land? No.’
I used to fly. That accurately describes what I was at age 12 allowed to do.
Have fun man!
Do they still fly KC-135s out of there? When I was a ROTC student at Purdue (early 80’s), one of the instructors arranged for flights on the tankers. Very cool!

In college, I knew a girl who had one. Went for a few rides on it- it was wonderful. Inevitably, a year later, the center cylinder rose up into the waiting arms of Jesus.
Oi. What an awesome way to commit suicide. *swoons*
They’re quick to arrest a couple who were victims of a violent mob trespassing on private property and for pulling out their guns to threaten them but not to arrest the same very mob who have burning and looting in cities across the country?
Is this the gist of the timeline so far in 2020?
I fail to see what they did wrong. Doesn’t the ‘Castle’ rule apply?
I thought they just confiscated their weapons with no charges (which is entirely illegal, constitutionally speaking but, you know, fytw). We’re they arrested and charged with anything?

Reach out to Tucker. Tell him, “There’s a website, see, and, well, here’s the link”.
The county I live in (Cuyahoga), has now instituted a tip line and web page to report people who are maskless.
Repeat! Suspect is maskless!
I hope it is spammed mercilessly. Not that anyone here would do that, of course…
Holy shit… the web page is just a generic “Mask Wearing Experience” page:
Now THAT is spamworthy! And flameworthy. #ICan’tBreathe
I really hope nobody shares that link with Nan Whaley
For once I may use my work laptop for good! Considering it’s bounced through two VPN’s, it at least affords some ability to hide.
Of course, I’m not that concerned about Cuyahoga county IT personal and their skills (no offense UCS).
Tres, in case you didn’t see me mention it, I went to the Fairborn Y Thursday to swim. Had to navigate through serious road rip-up to get there, but didn’t have to mask up. Yay Greene County!
That a haul just for a dip. Why not the one in Englewood- much closer and no mask requirement that I know of.
Or you can come stand in the backyard and Ill happily spray you with the hose.
Englewood’s still in Montg’y County, and F’born isn’t hard to get to when I leave work in M’burg. Then I can shop at the B’creek Meijer, also sans mask.
I was thinking about the city Order, not that DeWine has declared our county to be an inhospitable wasteland of Uber Cooties. I pretty much ignore that one. The Kroger nearest me has a mandatory mask order, but since I just run in for beer and tobacco most of the time, I dont mind wearing it for a couple minutes. Other than that, Im out in Meijer raw-dogging it, and shopping bareback.
JFC that is creepy.

Just remember, any identifiable information is probably FOIAble. What comes around goes around snitches.
Of course, it allows for anonymous complaints.
Every time a pubsec or politician gives a maskless press conference, it should be flooded with complaints.
That’s one of the official exemptions for not needing a mask in the counties here in Ohio. It’s under section 7, point l.
So? You can still file as many anonymous complaints about it as you want.
Wow.
“Gardner filed a lawsuit against St. Louis & the police union based on a conspiracy theory that they were trying to discredit her because of racism. The police spokesperson said, no, it’s because she gives amnesty to “the most violent criminals in America.”
Of course, she also refused to charge rioters and looters. Apparently, this is her pattern. Refuse to charge in the name of “needing more evidence from officers,” then never charging. Social justice is great!”

“Liberal intellectuals” are so brainwashed that they’d rather be forced against the wall than ally themselves with LITURULL NOTZEEZ!
There are some that realize that, Matt Taibbi for instance (or to assume a mantle of neutrality at least).
I’m trying to figure out, where people who are new to politics are getting their political 101 from. I’m not talking about millennials, we know what they’re being
taughtindoctrinated with in school.I as talking to a long time friend on the phone last night. I’ve known the guy since he was maybe 4 years old, so 40 years, and we’re still good friends. Very intelligent guy, we discuss a very wide range of topics. But he’s always been very apolitical, not interested in politics at all, so all this time, we never talked politics.
But lately, like the last month or so, he’s started to bring up politics. Not sure what initiated that, but he’s all of the sudden started to claim to be libertarian. Great. But then the last couple of times we’ve talked, he’s made the statement that he leans left. I didn’t say anything until last night.
I was a little buzzed last night and he says that again. So I said ‘Wait, I thought you are libertarian, now you’re saying you lean left’. So he just says ‘Yeah’. So I paused a minute and said ‘That’s contradictory, but let’s talk. Libertarian is about as far as you can get on the political scale, so what position is it, that you lean left on?’. His response was sort of awkward, but then he started naming a few positions. Each time, I would say ‘that’s not left position, it’s a liberal position, and leftists are not liberal’. He just seemed to not be able to reply to that. I have to talk to the guy more and ask him ‘What on earth are you thinking that makes you feel you lean left, because as of now, the only single thing you’ve mentioned to me, that might be considered a leftist position, is being more lax immigration, and that’s very debatable, libertarians are all over the place on that. But everything else you’ve told me, not leftist at all, leftists are VERY pro-big government, libertarians, not at all. Leftists want mover government, they just want to be in charge of it.’.
I just cannot even figure out who he’s been talking to. I also told him that the first two things that come to my mind when hearing the term ‘left’ are Carl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, you should research that, you’re a history buff, how’d you miss that?
Damn, terrible grammar and spelling there. But I felt the guy becoming very uncomfortable, so I changed the subject.
“left libertarian”, so, Reason, right?

I try to play over there. But some of the TeamTrump are so toxic that it is just the worst. And the name-swapping is….ugh I can’t even.
But yet, there are some good conversations I have over there. Sadly, I agree with TeamTrump more often than not, but when I disagree with them, you cannot have any conversation about it. Some of the lefties on the other hand are willing to disagree in good faith.
Look, dude, the conservatives all love freedom, as long as we put all them mareequaner smoking dope fiends into prison where they belong. Oh, and no one with tattoos, put them in jail too.
But, I have had a lot more reasoned conversations with conservatives than I have with leftists, which is almost always a wasted effort. Maybe because I agree with Conservatives on most things, except that dope stuff, and letting people with tattoos walk around free in society.
John got banned.
Anyway, I think JB said he was just taking a break.
Yes, everyone knows that, I think. Just saying I miss them, not that they weren’t banned.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/10/trump-promises-road-to-citizenship-for-daca-illegal-aliens/
FTR, there is a subset of the “DACA kidz” that I think should be given a road to legitimacy (not gangbangers who really came here when they were 25, actual kids brought by their parents). However, Trump thinks this will be a political winner. It won’t. He’ll get crucified over it some way or another, it won’t win him any Hispanic votes he wasn’t already going to get and it will alienate people who voted for him in 2016. At minimum, he needs every vote he got last time around, and probably a lot more on top of that to counter fraud.
It remains to be seen what he’s looking at doing here. It can be a net positive for him if the correct balance is struck and he handles it correctly but this is a very tricky subject for his supporters.
I can’t remember, you’re all Tulpa! Seriously, I can’t remember, this is Saturday morning and I have a hangover.
Damnit, that reply goes with the post just above. Where’s the edit fairy these days?
The edit fairy died of complications of COVID, net neutrality, tax cuts, and lack of gun confiscation.
“it won’t win him any Hispanic votes he wasn’t already going to get”
It might.
He probably sees it as a neutral option, but might get him a few votes. His fanbase is not going to like it, but it’s not going to change their vote. So it’s probably won’t change anything as far as the election goes.
I’d vote for bad orange man if not for any other reason than to keep that slimy fuck weasel Biden out of the Whitehouse. If it wasn’t for Biden, Hillary might be the worst politician in history.
No matter how bad the likes of Mittens and McCain would have been, Biden is far worse.
John Wayne is cancelled.
The University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts announced Friday that it will remove its exhibit of Hollywood legend John Wayne, citing an initiative to promote “anti-racist cultural values” following protests from students.
“Conversations about systemic racism in our cultural institutions along with the recent global, civil uprising by the Black Lives Matter Movement require that we consider the role our school can play as a change maker in promoting antiracist cultural values and experiences,” Evan Hughes, the assistant dean of diversity and inclusion, said in a statement. “Therefore, it has been decided that the Wayne Exhibit will be removed.”
Can we just go ahead and cancel wypipo already? Seems like a lot less effort.

Oh, I dunno. I just read one unvetted report. I could be wrong. I dont think it is relevant in any case.
The McCloskeys were assaulted and had every right to defend themselves regardless of what retardation they may or may not have engaged in beforehand.
Theatrical outrage
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, on Saturday joined Democrats in criticizing President Trump’s decision to commute Roger Stone’s prison sentence, decrying it as an act of “historic corruption” — just as Trump said Stone was the victim of an “illegal witch hunt.”
“Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president,” Romney tweeted.
Whatever, Mitt.
Roger saw Mittens on the Lolita Express and on the island doing totally gay stuff with Epstein. Just a guess.
Mitt is such a wussified sack of shit. Technically Stone was guilty of what he was formally accused of but he was also railroaded. Thank God he lost to Obama and I mean that.
As much as I hate that commie cockroach Obumbles I will grudgingly agree with you.
I abstained….I just couldn’t bring myself to vote mittens.
JFC the R’s suck balls.
Think what would have happened with gun control after Sandy Hook when Mitt inevitably folded and his being a Republican provided a wishy washy Republican Congress with cover.
Wait until we get a senile old douchebag who is only ever going to be a one term, if he makes it that far. There will be no restraint because he doesn’t fear not getting re-elected. Biden will be a fucking nightmare unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Hillary would be better, I’m serious.
“Thank God he lost to Obama and I mean that.”
Same with McCain, that asshole would have been a fucking disaster.
Yep. How bad to the R’s have to be to make O’shitstain look good? Ace McCain bad, that’s how.
McCain and Hillary are two peas in a pod, Biden is worse than both combined.
I’m kind of surprised that Trump didn’t wait until after the election to do this.
He’s calling it a bill, which would mean it passed the Senate, right? In that case, I get it.
Oh, there’s unprecedented, historic corruption going on, alright.
I came to my understanding of the world and worldview based on the life works of three black men. As a white man, I now realize my privilege and inherent racism by culturally appropriation and seek forgiveness of the community.

Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order Friday that goes into effect Monday mandating face masks in public indoor and crowded outdoor spaces. It introduces a misdemeanor charge with a $500 fine for violators who refuse.
“The heroes on the front lines of this crisis have gone hours without taking their masks off every day, doctors, nurses, child care workers, grocery store workers. We owe it to them to wear our masks when we’re on a trip to the grocery store or pharmacy,” Whitmer said in a press release. “For the sake of your loved ones, let’s all mask up.”
‘member when we were told not to buy masks, they were needed for health care workers? I ‘member.
I ‘member when they didn’t even admit that.
“let’s all mask up”
Unlike lefty politicians, whose masks have all fallen off.
So she has the authority to unilaterally create criminal law now?
All democrats have this power, it’s their god given right, on the right side of history, all that.
I don’t give a fuck about you or your loved ones, and my loved ones aren’t hysterical germaphobes. So, how ’bout you play a nice game of hide and go fuck yourself?
I’m thinking of buying a bunch of masks and using them as toilet paper.
Robert Byrd would like a word.
The state’s political leaders have not expressed similar concern, and Byrd’s tarnished past has failed to gain any traction as a 2020 election issue in West Virginia. Nothing has been proposed in the Republican-controlled legislature to rescind Byrd commemorations, and the 14 sitting Democratic state senators, all white, have been silent.
None of the latter responded to emails or calls from RealClearInvestigations about what should happen, if anything, to Byrd’s many tributes, notably a larger-than-life bronze statue in the state capitol whose design was backed, when he was a state senator, by West Virginia’s most prominent politician, Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin.
Also declining to comment was State Democratic Party chair Belinda Biafore, who in 2017 commemorated what would have been Byrd’s 100th birthday with a tribute on the party’s website, saying that “he represented fairness, strength and integrity.”
“Silence is a sign that there is some other force operating,” said Wilfred McClay, a historian and a professor at the University of Oklahoma. That’s explained in part by Byrd’s role as a master of pork during his record-setting Senate tenure (from 1959 until his death in 2010), bringing an estimated $1 billion to his home state, and state lawmakers’ gratitude expressed by placing his name on projects delivered.
Unlike the long-dead figures whose statues and other honorifics have been assailed in recent weeks, Byrd served recently enough that many people still active in politics worked alongside him. Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as former Vice President Joe Biden, all delivered eulogies at his funeral in 2010.
“Robert Byrd would like a word”
Does it start with the letter N?

I’m being serious when I say this, but I expect that very soon, the preferred word for black will be changed from ‘African American’ to Niggah. If we were’nt really living in a post Idiocracy world, I wouldn’t make guesses that like.
Given that most of the music I listen to during the day is “urban” (Sirius Shade45), it already is.
When I used to go to my office in Balmer, I’d sometimes walk a few blocks to a market to grab some lunch, and I’d listen to the local residents, it would usually go something like:
‘Hey niggah!’
”What’s up niggah?’
”I know niggah!”
‘You know that niggah live down there?’
Seriously, every other sentence would have that term.
Somehow, I am not offended if someone calls me cracka, I find it amusing. It must be the subliminal racism and privilege, or something.
You know the real African Americans, the ones who actually migrated here from Africa? They don’t talk like that, at all. And they seem to be for the most part, really happy to be here in the worst, most racist country on earth. I guess they ain’t got lurnted and edumencated yet.
Nope. I’m certain the N-word is gonna stay a black only word. Too much history behind it.
I’m pretty sure Bill Clinton redeemed Byrd’s memory at his funeral.
