“We groped painfully in our minds, not only to find justifications for the line laid down, but also to find traces of former thoughts which would prove to ourselves that we had always held the required opinion.”
-Arthur Koestler. Darkness at Noon.
The January 6th election riot of Trump supporters on Capitol Hill was wrong, stupid, and unhelpful. One woman was shot and killed by a Secret Service officer. And at least four others have died during the day’s events. The actions that day mirror the BLM riots; wrong, stupid, and unhelpful. And at least a few people were killed in those riots, though no one was shot by police officers as far as I know.
I have been told that Trump said something just awful, that he was endorsing riots or some such. I am not sure, see, as I don’t really hear “dog whistles”. Besides, my ears are still ringing from the harpies screeching about the BLM riots and Trump in general.
For the hearing impaired: “They’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop,” she told him. “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop. And everyone beware because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And everyone should take note of that. They’re not gonna let up and they should not.” (emp. added)
Or how about Nancy Pelosi:
“I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy that they defend,” (again, emp. added)
I mean, didn’t they just say, per the above, that this is A-fuckin’-OK?
No?
I mean, they are women, aren’t they roaring? What is the phrase these days, Yas Queen? Maybe Slay Queen? Or does holding a woman to something she said make me a racist? Wait, racist does mean holding a person to something they said, right?
I tend to take people at what is normally called face value. I do not try to read into something, call things Dog Whistles, take only my own interpretation of events. I am a firm believer in Occam’s Razor; “entities should not be multiplied without necessity”, or the simplest explanation is usually the right one.
You see, I am not the type to say that, for instance, people against abortion are only doing it because they want to keep women down. No, they think it is murder, they say as much and so far I have been shown nothing contrary to that. But I have seen some abortion advocates state, without showing any evidence of it, that people who are against abortion are only doing it, for one thing, to keep women down. Often, they add that it is only old white men. Which belays the information staring them in the face: that 41% of pro-life supporters are women. We can only guess as to the reasons for such denial, but it does not make it any less a denial of facts. Nor does it make them particularly reliable when it comes to other political opponents, such as Trump.
So, when they say that Trump has implied or dog whistled something, I take what they said as bullshit. If they had actual proof, a quote that was unequivocally showing what they say it does, they would present the quote. But every time it is words that can be taken any which way that the listener wants. Unlike two of the three above, AOC and Kamala Harris. The two of them were unequivocally for the riots, destruction, and deaths that happened this summer. Which includes a Federal courthouse. So, should I read into the quotes that they are advocating sedition, by the transitive power? I mean, that is what we are being told to think about Trump right now, what with his supposed comments.
One other thing has struck me, over the last two months, and that is where would Trump get the idea that claiming, correctly or otherwise, that the election had been a fraud?
Yes, a Democrat getting time on national television, lying about elections. And this went on in various forms for the entirety of the Trump presidency:
- Questioner: “He is an illegitimate president in my mind….He’s illegitimate and my biggest fear is he’s going to do it again…”
Biden: “Folks, look, I absolutely agree.” - Hillary Clinton: “I believe he knows he’s an illegitimate president.”
- Jimmy Carter: “I think the [Russian] interference, although not yet quantified if fully investigated would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016.”
- John Lewis: “I do not see the president-elect as a legitimate president.”
- Link to “ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT” bumper sticker:
https://www.progressivebumperstickers.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=688 - “Dozens of Democrats to skip ‘illegitimate’ president’s inauguration; Trump backers decry ‘tantrum’” (Washington Times story, January 16, 2017)
And what price did Adam Schiff, or for that matter any other of these Democrat bigwigs pay for these lies? Nothing. But we feel that Trump somehow is above? below? the lessons taught every day by the cable networks who daily carried water for the democratic party under the guise of news; CNN or MSNBC. Or the New York Times. Or NPR. Or, well, you take your pick, it is all one gossip rag at this point.
Now, let us think a moment about one of the last times that the building had been met with violence; in March 1971, a little over a month after I was born, a bomb was detonated inside the building where Congress meets. After a six-year investigation, it was determined that the culprits were a leftist group of terrorists known as the Weather Underground. And it should be remembered that these selfsame terrorists had assassinated and bombed across the United States during the tumultuous Sixties and Seventies, starting in the wake of the riots of ‘68. Many members have done time by this point, including Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. These bombers and “terrorists” have since been jailed, pardoned, become professors, written books. So, actions much worse that what we saw the other day seem to have been no hindrance to others, why should it be a hindrance now?
So, did Trump say something? Yes, he always does. Did it offend the Mandarin class? Yes, like everything he says does. Did Trump learn it from his political opponents?
Yes, he did.
Who dis?
JK. I’ll read now.
Zwak! Nice work!
Well Done! Who are you? need a Fuck Off?
I didnt know Tulpa had that in him.
Dunno, but he better keep his mitts off my jumbucks!
The daffy duck avatar is familiar if the handle isn’t. Zwek? maybe?
“And at least a few people were killed in those riots”
It’s somewhere around 12 – 36, depending who you ask.
On Wikipedia there were maybe 3 people killed by law enforcement. 2 by supposed to be non-lethal weapons, 1 supposedly shot at police/national guard. 12 police officers have been shot that may be linked to the protests. Only a retired police officer died.
This is fantastic. A sincere thank you.
Absolutely perfect. I’ve been writing little paragraphs on my various FB (I know…) groups and there are just so many things to go over and ‘fighting’ their repeated lines is tiresome. For the record, I purposefully don’t ‘argue’ or ‘fight’ them. I purposefully am polite simply to give the observers something to read. This is usually wishful thinking, but in my main groups I have gotten a lot of good feedback and conversations.
This is a perfectly ordered and detailed long form of what I’ve been sticking my toe in.
Yes it’s excellent, going to bookmark it.
So much this. It’s dog whistles all the way down with that crowd.
If “go home in peace and love” isn’t inciting violence, I don’t know what is.
Is that the love between a man and a woman, or the love of a man for a fine cigar?
Amen. And awoman.
Was it even a riot of Trump supporters?
It was a peaceful protest that fell into a trap. The Capitol police opened the doors, hundreds of people took advantage of a self-guided tour of the building. Some Antifa agitators were involved. But even if everything was done by Trump supporters, it was a complete nothingburger. I’m shocked that everyone feels that it’s absolutely necessary to condemn and punish harshly the people who entered the Capitol. The physical damage is minimal. Congresscritters were inconvenienced for a few hours. And then continued with their bloviating business later the same day in the original chambers.
The dead cop is not a nothing burger. The dead woman shot by a cop is not a nothing burger. But after a summer of riots, it’s not so bad in comparison.
Not sure how the cop died though?
Opening the doors.
Okay. Mostly peaceful.
It was a peaceful protest that fell into a trap.
This. Seems to me there were a few bad actors that did a bit of ransacking (Trumpists, BLM/Antifa infiltrators or not) but by BLM standards the entire thing was exceedingly peaceful.
Ashli Babbitt. Say her name. Justice for Ashli.
The dead cop is not a nothing burger.
Justice for this guy too. (I heard about it but know no details)
I just heard a CBS promo for Sixty Minutes calling the protest a “constitutional crisis”.
Watching the game?
Yes.
Yes, and I expect a sober, unbiased analysis from Nancy Pelosi. Definitely not somebody who would use the attention to push an agenda or anything.
Never let a crisis go to waste…
And if you don’t have a real crisis do the best with what you have at hand. Fabricate and embellish (“armed”? insurrection). React out of proportion (impeachment! – for a guy with less than a couple weeks left anyway). Rinse, repeat….
Just heard that.
They’ve lost their everloving minds.
Yep, I nearly had to turn the TV off.
But enough about the Kavanaugh protest.
That was nauseating.

What’s attacking a Federal Court?
A felony?
Not in OR, the only felony there is impeding a rioter.
My own newsroom had a long (and painful for me to read) debate over when it would be okay to start calling the people at the Capitol protest ‘domestic terrorists’. Zero sense of history, and when an old-timer with a more level head on his shoulders joined in and pointed out this really didn’t rise to that level, plus we’d seen far worse behavior from protesters over the summer, the response was basically, ‘that’s different because shut up.’ Thankfully, the final decision was ‘when the police charge them as such, then you may.’
the final decision was ‘when the police charge them as such, then you may.’
Sounds like the responsible position for anyone purporting his/herself to be a journalist.
Yes, but there’s a growing movement among the youngsters who want to drop that level of rigor.
“the final decision was ‘when the police charge them as such, then you may”
This sounds OK – but I can imagine the execution it would become “anybody at the riot charged with anything whatsoever” = “domestic terrorist”.
The editor in chief is an old-school journalist doing his best to keep the youngsters in line. I think he’ll hold the line on it, just like he did when they begged to be allowed to attend, not just cover, protests.
This is what happens when a couple of generations grew up too late to watch “the Sting” in theaters. We are being targeted in a long con. All of these elements are part of it. It just takes a tiny bit of uncommon sense to see it.
I don’t think I’ve even seen ‘The Sting’ but I’d agree with you about the long con.
It’s a great movie.

Trump said they should be prosecuted. Although that was before Twitter banned him.
Pardon them all. Pardon Asange. Pardon Snowden. Dump the docs on everyone in Congress and tell me wtf is really going on at Area 51.
They’ll likely make a deal to avoid impeachment and him not stirring up too much trouble, which includes not pardoning certain people even if he’s so inclined which I doubt, will be part of the deal. Trump cares about Trump and demands loyalty while giving little in return, just look how fast he threw his supporters at the March and Pence himself under the bus. All the accusations of incitement were ridiculous but his behavior since has been horrendous.
Way to harsh my buzz…
Do it on the morning of the 20th, when it’s too late to impeach him.
So much this Stinky. What he did to Pence is unforgivable. His narcissism has no limits.
Yes, that really sucked, can’t forgive or forget that one.
I’d still take him over Biden and I don’t like Pence and, yeah, unforgivable but his denunciation of the marchers, and that’s the interpretation, who were just loyal everyday people was even worse to me. He should have called the rioters “a few bad actors” which they were. Pence can take care of himself while those people are on their own.
Pelosi is full of shit. She has wanted the mark of the beast to be applied to Trump from day one. Nothing to do with his asking people to try and convince (R)’s to grow a back bone. More lies. The election was a fraud, everyone is too pussy to say that out loud and the (R)’s only pretended to be fighting for the truth. As soon as it became costly to support the truth, they ran like little children, happy to resume their positions as the perpetual losers who are totally in the right to bitch and moan about how horrible the ever-winning Dems are. Fuck them all.

I’m not.

She’s a spineless turncoat, the people of Georgia did right by not electing her but it’s on the Republicans for fielding such a garbage candidate.
Um, their other choice was not so much of a winner either. Given a binary decision, I’d take her.
Me too probably but there’s something to be said to be dealing with an enemy you know is an enemy.
The link that should be given to any argument Kamala is anything but evil.
She also did very poorly in the primaries.
The Democratic voters were too sexist and racist for a woman of color.
Odd thing to me is that if Dems voted how I’d expect according to what they claim to hold as principles they would have had a Pete/Tulsi (or whoever would be on top..) ticket.

The January 6th election riot of Trump supporters on Capitol Hill was wrong, stupid, and unhelpful. One woman was shot and killed by a Secret Service officer. And at least four others have died during the day’s events. The actions that day mirror the BLM riots; wrong, stupid, and unhelpful
I’ll give you wrong, but you really think the BLM riots are stupid and unhelpful? The riots are well organized and funded (unlike the Jan 6 protest) so wouldn’t exactly call them stupid. Given the current state of the country, I’m not seeing how the BLM riots have been slightest bit unhelpful to the Dem’s position and whoever is behind the funding. The BLM movement, including violence, has been incredibly helpful in furthering that agenda.
The Jan 6 riots were neither helpful nor unhelpful. Don’t be the beaten spouse blaming yourself for things getting worse after fighting back against your abuser. The politicians will pay lip service that the coming tyranny will justified by Jan 6th, but it’s coming either way.
The politicians will pay lip service that the coming tyranny will justified by Jan 6th, but it’s coming either way.
QFT
It’s inconceivable to me that the Dems aren’t balls-deep in funding, planning, and promoting the BLM riots.
The lesson over the last year has been that violence works. Look at that blob of jello Wheeler, some violent douchenozzle socks him at a restaurant and all his grand plans of cracking down on groups and activities that should have been cracked down months ago go up in smoke.
Wheeler is pathetic. But Portland has gotten what it wants. His challenger in the last election publicly stated, “I am antifa.” That was the runner up. The city couldn’t manage to offer someone just a smidge to the right of Wheeler.
With that in mind, I say let it burn. They invited it. Now they voted for it. Enjoy it Portland.

What happened was a good old fashioned false flag. The debate was just starting when Captain Kangaroo and the Beardoes showed up in the House chamber. What a coinskidinc.
There’s video of a capitol police cop yelling at them to stay back. They just happened to follow him, and the camera crew behind him, up to the entrance of the chamber where they paused to take iconic photographs. Presumably they would gavel themselves into a new government and we would be bound to follow them unless our heroes could save us.
What happened on the Senate side is that the LARPers got ahead of the program so a security detail had to shoot one to make an exit. Sad!

Oh, one more thing—nice work, Tulpa. Now go fuck off.
Advice for any former colleagues of Trump remaining in government: no matter how much you think it might help, NEVER APOLOGIZE. You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t give them an inch or you’ll have to spend every moment apologizing for and disavowing nutters.
They don’t want apologies, they want unconditional surrender.

Herpity derpity doo. JFC.
Are they a security risk for the flight? If the answer is “no,” then they shouldn’t be on the list. Or are we openly admitting that the “no fly list” is no longer about security but about extra-judicial punishment?

There must be a great fear that Trump commands the Flyover Country or the Republican Party or all the right leaning folks, otherwise why is this great fear that he may run for Prez again? Didn’t he just lose to a loser? Now if he moved his legions of followers to vote for a popular primary candidate that would be a lot more competitive I could understand it.
The way the Repub establishment ditched him these past few days ought to tell even the dumbest Demos not to worry about the resurrection of Trump as a candidate again. I don’t think it’s Trump, just using his face for the Repub party.
How old will he be in 2024? 81? I get that he has a giant ego, but he ain’t running again.

Trump has very little in common with the (R)’s. That’s why they hate him so much. They only pretend to hate the real (R)’s.

I don’t know what this means
Went to dinner with some folks tonight. One of them is a conspiracy theorist. I wasn’t aware of the one where Trump sent people in with the protesters to get hard drives, and he’s going to charge the Dems with some sort of crimes.
The Kraken never sleeps!
Sort of related.

Wood’s a member of the most interesting group of people in the world to me, the brilliant kooks.
I don’t know much about him. What makes him brilliant?
Well he’s a good lawyer but maybe I have too high of a regard for lawyers or at least the required intelligence anyway.
I met some of the stupidest people I know in law school.
Even the slouches in engineering school were sharp people compared to the average person in law school.
I used to work in a law office, and one of the attorneys there was seriously one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met. One of those people that, when you tell them something, they just sorta stare at you blankly while the gears turn in their brain, then if you’re very lucky you can see a little flicker of understanding in their eyes.
He’s studied his colonial history and makes some produces some novel insights. What’s needed is a relatable libertarian with that kind of background, but he’s not that guy. We understand him because we’re sympathetic and have similar understandings, but he has that professorial problem of not being able to easily explain things to people who don’t already understand them compounded by a certain gloating, sneering delivery that he will slip into from time to time. It’s like he doesn’t know how to talk to normal people. I notice I’m 52 episodes behind because other shows are more original and interesting.
But I do think he’s is particularly principled.
JFC. That’s absolutely delusional. Are they interested in the bridge I’m selling?
No kidding, I bet they’d pay a handsome sum for some magic beans.
What a coincidence! I have some of those too.

The Q movement is the most successful troll/psi op/whatever it is but it definitely isn’t legitimate in the history of forever. If they want change they need to get off their deluded asses and work towards it themselves, ain’t no secret hero riding in to save them.

Based on someone here’s reference from a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been reading How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World as a form of CBT. Thanks to whoever whomever made this reference.
Cock and Ball Torture?
I read it as cognitive behavioral therapy.
That or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Either works.
Depending if you read it or smack your junk with it.
They do sound similar…
Steelers are dominating time of possession. If they get a score of two before the half they could make it interesting with a worn out Browns defense in the second half. I hope not though.
Baker Mayfield is from Austin, which is near Texas, specifically the Lake Travis bedroom village where all Texas-Ex greats go to raise their kids (even though Baker’s dad went to Houston). He came close to setting the freshman quarterback record for D1 yards in a game starting for Tech, but his time would be short. Sitting out after a transfer, he would then start at his dream job: Oklahoma. His first real game was at Neyland and he found himself in quite a hole, but, to his credit, came back to tie the game and then win in double OT.
Southlake Carroll usedtabe where smart white boyz (often Cowboy alumni) went to play pre-college ball in Texas, but they have produced little pro talent lately that I know of (Greg McElroy won it all at Alabama; I think Chase Daniel did get some pro snaps late this year)

They showed the “expert” picks for the Browns/Steelers game before kickoff.
Everyone picked Pittsburg to win except for Rodney Harrison and the poll of American football fans, who picked Cleveland at 55 or 60%.
Ha!! They were ready to crown the Steelers but OrangeTeamBad has the lead!
Quick, someone check the brand name on the scoreboard at Heinz Field and make sure it’s not Dominion.
Legit LOL.
Seconded.
Did the NFL get rid of the SJW stuff for the postseason? I haven’t seen anything on the field tonight?
Nope. Ads, paint behind the end zone, etc. Now they’re overtly using the phrase “social justice”
Now I see it at the back of the end zone. “It Takes All Of Us.” Ugh.
None of us is as dumb as all of us.
Ha!
Heard the commentators discussing it several times. And each team’s candidate for “man of the year” or whatever it is, has been involved in some sort of “opposing systemic racism” hoo hah.
I’m astonished that English soccer is still “taking the knee” before every match. ?

Jim Nantz told me that it’s up to all of us to advance social justice.
I agree. That’s why I propose raising income taxes on sportscaster to 75%.
Al Michaels could hardly get his mandatory social justice blurb out.
I noticed that just now. I get feeling it’s wearing on him.
I have a feeling the left lunatics picked up on that and will go apeshit on him. He was in the doghouse anyway for some of his Covid statements, and now he wasn’t enthusiastic enough about the woke shit.
Did you hear him and Collinsworth sarcastically panning the Mr Mayor show? They hushed pretty quickly.
Michaels has already been on probation for not adequately genuflecting over the BLM and anthem kneeling last season.
I hope he never changes. Collinsworth too.
Oof, I was on board until the last sentence. Collinsworth is a ditz.
I think I heard Michaels say “haven’t we all had enough politics?” If that’s right, doG bless him.

There’s not enough Aricept™ on Earth to keep President Puddin’ Cup lucid for two more years.
He also doesn’t matter anymore. The tech oligarchs have all the real power now. Even the President of the United States is now disposable. He’ll have a convenient aneurysm when the time is right.
Keep him hidden due to COVID and let his advisors aka puppet masters put papers in front of him to sign. Hell, his wife’s probably practicing his signature as we speak.
Actually, she’s probably already got it down pat.
My wife and I always call or text each other before we forge the others’ signature.
I don’t think they’re 25ing him, nor do I think he can last to the midterms. I’m predicting he bows out for unspecified health reasons in November.

Jeebus. He killed 2 people and gravely injured another, all of whom were attacking him because he put out a literal dumpster fire they sent towards his friends’ gas station.
I’m sure it’s possible to devise a scenario where self-defense is more obvious, but I lack the imagination.
Didn’t have time to search for a fair article, I just thought the shirt was funny. Interestingly enough, he got to legally drink a beer because he was with his parents which is lawful in Wisconsin.
No shade on you, SW. I imagine the linked article is pretty standards given today’s news “standards”.
Secret Nazi President would know.
Not so secret anymore!

The capitol riots were dumb and bad and wrong, but the constant ZOMFG TREASON SEDITION DARKEST DAY IN HISTORY ATTEMPTED COUP MUH DEMOCRACY hysteria is rapidly depleting my reserve of fucks to give.
Also, I had been thinking that once Biden took office, there would start to be anonymous “leaks” about all the terrible illegal stuff that Trump did while President, followed by Biden pardoning him in the name of “healing” and “moving on” (conveniently before the leaks could be investigated and possibly disproven, so everyone can just assume they are all true), followed by state AsG going after him for whatever bullshit they can drum up to hurt him financially.
But now I think the left is just going to go full totalitarian retard and try to get Trump thrown in prison, with social media bans for anyone who objects.
Did we cover the terrible, world-shattering scandal that is Kamala Harris’ Vogue magazine cover?
Whoever changed the cover needs to be charged with sedition immediately.

(Swats Chipwooder with rolled up newspaper)
Who has a newspaper lying around anymore?
I get the local anti-CCP paper that the local Chinese expats circulate.
And my community paper for just this immediate neighborhood, which is an unincorporated “census designated area”.
Good for bacon geese.
Fair enough!
After Christmas we usually pick up some of those freebie local rags to wrap ornaments. Other than that, I haven’t handled a newspaper in at least a decade.
Why do you throw away bacon grease? I keep mine in frozen a container and use it too fry things like corn Tortillas when making tacos.
I can’t have the high sodium of bacon grease in any significant amount, and I’m supposed to curb the fat too.
My spouse fries up two big packets of bacon at a go in an elective skillet outside. Most of that grease goes to the trash, some to a small jar. The cooked bacon drains on the newspaper.
I had the luxury of being able to eat just about anything until recent years.
I’m sorry to hear that – honestly.
I had been fooled into the “Cholesterol/SatFat = BAD” line of BS until a year or so ago. Since then bacon and eggs are in heavy rotation in my kitchen. I’ve pretty much perfected the omelet. Blood pressure and lipids are down since then.
I assume your issue is different from what I had been told about heart disease for years .
By dramatically increasing the amount of fat in my diet while lowering carbs a few years ago, my cholesterol and triglycerides levels in my blood dropped to those of a teenager. Lost a lot of weight, too.
Too many docs out there are unfortunately still holding on to the old “low-fat diet” as the way to improve your blood levels, because they just refuse to believe the opposite is true, despite many recent studies. Not sure about your situation, but it may be worth considering if your doc is just stuck in the old mentality.
So much of this nation’s obesity, diabetes and cholesterol issues can be traced back to the date the government began using sugar-industry-funded bogus “studies” to create the high carb, lowfat food pyramid. In the 1950s, people even knew better! When i was a kid diners still had a “diet plate” which consisted of a hamburger patty, cottage cheese and a tomato slice, no bread. How that meal began to be seen as the opposite of healthy is when the nation went astray.
Another thing I heard recently (again, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick via Joe Rogan) was the impact of aspartame on the gut. They didn’t get into details but Dr. Patrick was telling Joe how aspartame changes the gut biome to create additional glucose. This means that most “diet” drinks actually end up making you fat regardless of the fact that the drinks themselves have lower calories.
Thanks, y’all, but I’m fully aware of the superiority of a higher fat. Lower carb diet. I’ve done it, l of st weight, and know that “if you eat fat you get fat” is hogwash. The FDA food pyramid is scandalously bad advice.
My problem is not a cardiovascular one. I still consume more fat than the doc advises, but according to lab results, it’s working for me.
Regarding the aspartame thing, I wonder if Splenda has the same effect? That’s what’s in Diet Rite, but it’s harder to find than Coke Zero.
Anyway, drinking caffeinated coffee is strongly encouraged for me, so I’m trying to get into the coffee habit again (within reason).

Well, it looks done now.
The apocalypse is truly upon us – the Bills and Browns both won playoff games this year.
The Mayans were right – they just were just early by 8 years.
They flipped the 1 and 2.
Bills are ranked #2. This really is the end times.
I’m thinking about using Wago lever nuts instead of traditional wire nuts. Talk me out of it.
I would have to understand what you are saying first.
Nope. I use the Wago (or Wago-equivalent) push-in wire connectors all the time:
https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ideal-push-in-wire-connectors-assorted-10-pack-/1000511478
They rock. Mind you, if I’m doing a junction for a feeder line that could conceivably take large currents, I will use Marrette connectors:
https://www.lowes.ca/product/wire-connectors/marrette-mr150xtp-18-8awg-orangeyellowred-wire-connector-150-pack-355119
One thing about the push-ins — they’re only guaranteed to make a positive electrical connection once. If you remove the wires for any reason and re-stuff ’em, all bets are off.
I use these and really like them. I connect a lot of small gauge low voltage wiring, don’t know what gauge you’re dealing with. I like that they easily fit in tight spaces.
https://www.zoro.com/dolphin-components-corp-insulation-displacement-connector-sealant-filled-bl-pk100-dc-100-s/i/G0583782/?msclkid=c9f0d090832812497d328f6b5773dbae&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA_US_Bing_SSC&utm_term=4586131721790421&utm_content=All%20Products&gclid=c9f0d090832812497d328f6b5773dbae&gclsrc=3p.ds
Maggots! (well, at least the white ones)
I’ve used scotchloks for years on LV wiring.
We have had better results with scotchloks than the Dolphin style connectors on 19Awg telephone wire connections.
Grab all of the conductors with Vice Grips and give several counter-clockwise twists. This will allow the wire nuts to naturally thread onto the copper. When it is tight, give a couple of wraps with electrical tape to keep the wire nut in place.
/protips
/homewiringcanbefun
That’s what lineman’s pliers are for. And I do clockwise twists until the bundle is nice and tight, then snip the bundle at an oblique angle about a half-inch from the insulation and screw the Marrette on. Stays on like it’s been welded there, but can still be removed by an inspector if necessary.
Wagos use less space in a box, particularly when close to max fill per code.
That’s nuts.
DIN rail mounted Terminal blocks
My recent fantasy is that Trump continues rabble rousing and pulls his followers away from the DNC-Junior Varsity (AKA: The GOP) and continues his schtick for a year or so. Then, when it becomes obvious that he’s too old to run again (and obviously too bag a target for the left), he finds an heir to his populist message ad starts a new party. In this fantasy the new party will draw most of the remaining GOP and some DNC supporters – people who liked his message but couldn’t stomach his style – and get an overwhelming majority in 2024.
Looking at the number of people who did vote for Trump and the number who believe the election was rigged – regardless of how hard the media tried to piss all over that message – I like to think this might be possible.
Given how ugly Harris is as a person, and the probability that we will have her in the oval office for a year or three before the next election to showcase her personality, this could be a viable scenario. Particularly with the huge number of people who voted against Trump this time because of his style if this new party can come up with a more appealing candidate with similar politics as Trump I think this could be possible.
They may just continue to pour all of their moral outrage into attacking Trump and go after him legally. In one possible scenario they get him locked up. Why would the mob back off? Who are they gonna replace their hatred of Trump with? They’re addicts at this point and will need higher dosage to get the same high. Except this addict has fellow addict judges that need the high, too.
Yeah, I would hope that a candidate with similar populist politics as Trump, but without provoking the Pavlovian rage that the media harbors against Trump, would give that candidate enough space to generate a huge following.
I think Tulsi is attempting to be that person.
She would have to lose her Hawaiian-based version of the RKBA (ie: guns R bad, m’kay?) to get anywhere near that place but if she could manage to do that she might just be the right person.
The only issue is going to be reaching an audience. Was thinking about this earlier today. Since the Demo-fascists control all forms of media, they will simply refuse to allow anyone who doesn’t fall in line to reach the population. The only way for anyone to run against them is by having a physical town hall. That won’t happen since everyone will be social distancing.
Think about it. 2022 rolls around and we are still suffering lockdowns. Messaging platforms have purged all wrong thinkers. Nobody will host competitors except for obscure servers somewhere that have no way to reach a wider audience. TV media will not run ads that have any wrong think. Any semi-conservative candidates will be silenced by all widely-used media. They can try and gather people in a good old-fashioned town hall, but social distancing enforcement will end that too, or won’t issue the proper permits/exceptions to begin with.
I hope I’m wrong.
There were over 70 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2020. Even if more than half of them will just shut up and take it after this that still leaves well over 30 million people who would be looking for a venue to communicate. That will put pressure on the market to provide some space for that slice of America. I have to believe that will find a place for their views to be communicated.
You’re more optimistic than I am. I’m seeing a lot of people I thought would understand rolling over and rending their clothes in anguish over our “sacred capitol” being devastated.
Maybe that’s only because I haven’t been in close contact with a lot of Americans for some time. I have a few friends locally and friends/family who I am in touch with online but I don’t meet many Americans outside of those groups.
By the way, I think there might be a small chance we’ve crossed paths before, or at least may run in similar circles. If you want to email me, mustang 314 at protonmail.

These post-game interviews are asinine. I almost feel bad for everyone involved.
Not quite sure why, but I started watching the old TV show Dallas recently. I remember seeing it occasionally near the end of its run when I was a kid, but never saw any of the early episodes. It’s corny as hell in the usual soap opera-ish ways, but surprisingly fun. JR truly is a fantastic villain and Larry Hagman was perfect in that role.
JR didn’t kill himself.
+1 10 gallon hat
True story. The Soviet Union allows Dallas to show in the country because they thought it showed capitalism in a negative light.
But the people watching the show saw that the poorest most downtrodden guy in the show could still have coffee every day — something not possible in Russia — and lives outsides of work. Ordinary Russians became very suspicious watching the show of the premise that capitalism was all that bad .
see also: Grapes of Wrath, the movie
I cannot decide whether I should ridicule you for believing that drinking coffee every day wasn’t possible in the Soviet Union (we’re talking about American drip coffee, not espresso or cappuccino) or recalling personal experiences about the Americans or Brits who had higher standards of life despite being unemployed or marginally employed.
Even when the ridiculous three-day lockdown ends, the mask mandate remains.

Get Some sleep UCS. You need to get up for work soon.
I was in Melbourne four years ago. In their arts museum there was a gallery denouncing the “conservative” hold on the city in the 1940s or 1950s. Something about bar restrictions or some such. I don’t remember the details; it sounded so bygone and irrelevant. The prison message has never disappeared. I have no idea why some Americans believe there’s something in common with Australia. And I actually like Australia; I’ve been there several times and visited most of the states and territories.

OT: Spent a gift card and some of my own cash on this beautiful mamma jamma. Gonna take my woodworking game to the next level. Until now, I’ve been doing all my dimensioning and surfacing with either an imprecise Dewalt electric planer or a vintage Stanley block plane (and to its credit, that thing is a freakin’ workhorse that handles it marvelously well).
Also just about done with my very first dovetail box (the glue is drying on the bottom right now, then I’ll shape it up, sand it, and finish it). The dovetails look pretty rough, but it was just practice. I’ll probably use it for workbench storage and start on a nicer one.

What the hell are they trying to accomplish?
They have a mere week and a half to wait for inauguration, the capitol storming crowd scored an own-goal that the Dems could have let speak for itself while maintaining a dignified silence, but nope, they are acting like poor sports who change rules on a whim and create blatant double standards.
It’s going to be an expensive distraction. It puts the focus right back on Trump instead of on the incoming administration. I’d be pissed off if I were waiting for my inauguration and my own party flaps about dramatically clutching pearls and throwing a tantrum.
The only thing positive about it is that it proves that Trump is still in their heads.
TDS is apparently a chronic condition, not just the acute flare up as I had thought.
Maybe it’s to make sure he can’t run in ’24? Or maybe it is just symbolic, but you’re right, it’s an expensive distraction. Of course, how aware is Biden than any of this is going on?
If he is impeached, he won’t be able to run for office.
They’re going to come after anyone who was there. Their intent is to make political opposition unpalatable and come at too high a cost.

Yep. They think they have the political leverage to do it now. And they may for a short while, but it’s going to inspire a backlash.
Judging by compliance rates I do not share your optimism. I was the very last holdout at my work and even before the bilateral mask mandate I was getting side-eyed by perfectly healthy 20-somethings. This is gonna get real ugly, really fast but not in a good way.

We’re wasting doses because they’re expiring!!!!!
*falls out of chair*
I have many questions about the vaccine but I don’t know where to look for unbiased answers.
1) What type of vaccine is being given? There are three types, all of which aim to get the body armed with T-lymphocytes to fight the virus.
A) the mRNA one, which hijacks the patient’s own cells and programs them to produce sections of Covid proteins to trigger immune response.
B) a protein subunit vaccine (puts Covid virus proteins in the body to trigger immune response to those proteins if they are later encountered on a real virus in the body)
C) a Vector vaccine in which a chunk of live weakened virus is injected. Could be a modified Covid 19 virus or a similar one that triggers the same response.
So which one is being given out? Can we choose? Can we tell by brand name (Pfizer etc)? Which ones have been studied? What corners were cut to pass this through FDA quickly?
How effective is it? How many shots do you need? How long is it effective? Has the mRNA thing been tried before? (it makes me nervous.)
Trust your betters.
You go first.
Seriously, no effing way I’m a lab rat for Fauci’s totalitarian wet dream.
Let mikey try it, he’ll try anything.
I’m so pissed at my wife. She told me she was getting her vaccination today. I asked, “WHY? You don’t even work around people!” She mumbled something about getting it before the kids and me tried it. How noble… and pointless. I said, I won’t be getting it unless it’s going to cost me my job. Just stupid. I’ve gone without a flu shot since 1990 and have been just fine, thank you very much. FauXi can go eff himself.
*kids and I* Sheesh. Is there a vaccine for poor grammar??
rich grammar is expensive.
And the portions are so small.
Nope. Not once in human-approved vaccines prior to this point.
You can get one that doesn’t utilize that method but you have to go to Russia to get it and who wants to go to Russia in January?
Then again that might not be correct, maybe there are actually nonmRNA ones available in the USA (not sure).
Which one are all the noble dancing nurses getting?
I was talking to a buddy’s wife who’s a nurse at the local small town hospital and she was saying if they made one of those vids they’d be canned so fast they wouldn’t have time to grab their personal effects.
I did wonder whether prioritizing all “frontline” healthcare workers for a long-term-untested, mRNA “vaccine” was a smart idea. If some unforeseen shit hits the fan down the road, the very people you want around might be incapacitated or worse.
From the CDC:
They’ve been studied for decades but none have yet been licensed. Well OK then! Where do I sign?

I responded to your feedback, but left out one response that should have been in my email. My memory on exactly where I got the idea for Tag Team is a bit murky, but I’m pretty sure it started out as a joke regarding complaints about tokenism, and then I went “Hrmm” and came up with prsonalities and backstories for the actual characters such that the initial inspiration became irrelevant. Some of my best ideas start out as snark and evolve from there.
I believe my late FIL had the same experience at least once in his long, successful career in advertising.
I do have my standard “what did you think of the characters” question that I should have asked too.
Initial response sent, more to come later.
Got the email. Will wait for your future message.

Hello y’.
HOW-DEE
Good morning, subjects. How are things in the new glorious empire?
I recognize no monarch but myself.
The FBI has a dedicated taskforce solely focused on “sovereign citizens”. Jus’ sayin’. Been nice knowin’ ya.
I’m not soverign citizen, I’m the God Emperor of Mankind. All people owe fealty to me.
*kow-tows literally lower than the floor somehow by burying myself face first*
Is that low enough, Your Ultimateness?
How goes it Friends? All is well, I hope. Got to my last site last night and there was nobody there. Perfect! About 11:30 the overnight crew of casuals start showing up. They really don’t like me me for some damn reason but then when I listen to them interact it sounds like a high school hallway. That’s okay, I think to myself! Soon you will all be gone and I’ll still be here! HAHAHAHAHA! Oh shit, waitaminute…
I don’t use it, but I hear Parler got de-platformed. Anyone here use it?
Tried to drunkenly sign up on Friday. Wouldn’t let me in. I didn’t even want the account but thought I’d poke Twitter in the eye if I could.
They’re down. I’m under the impression, which may be wrong, that they’re switching to private servers.
In a somewhat related issue, some moderator asshat deleted a comment I made on Facebook in regards to a discussion of a online business group I participate in and where they should keep their forum. I said:
“There’s always Parler… no… wait… scratch that.”
Somehow, that was interpreted as “overtly political” and they deleted it.
The leftists don’t even want to hear that the opposition exists. Even if it’s made in jest.
It was my limited experience that Facebook groups were run either by humorless control freaks, or at least very controversy-averse people who erred on the side of extreme anodynity and political correctness in assuming anything that even contained certain individual words that might be construed (by a moron) to be even remotely “controversial” must be purged, worried that their group or page might be tarred with the pooey stink of wrongness.
Probably so. It’s annoying, but it’s their group (even if I pay them a membership fee and sit on of their regional boards).
Tug the Tiger’s tail. I fucking dare you, Dorsey.
I was able to sign up Saturday (using my laptop, not an app) with no trouble, and I logged in yesterday. Just now, Firefox said it couldn’t find the site. Don’t know if that’s loss of access or an overwhelmed server.
They’re officially offline until they rehome the site, which is a rather major undertaking.

If we’d only have seen this kind of reaction to Antifa.
As if the left cares whether anyone acted within the law. This is about labels, not legality.
All we really need now is for the King’s Men to shoot dead a Black Man at a Maga protest so at least we’ll have a sympathetic victim in current year. I mean, some ding-bat ex Air Force chick who was hot as Hades just doesn’t foot the bill.
Hmm. All this chatter about a psy-ops campaign to steer this whole thing to the benefit of The Narrative still seems ultra-tinfoil hat, but well, there’s an Army psy-ops guy right in the middle of it. Correlation not causation, and if anything he seems to be positioned as someone who was being played rather than doing the playing. No idea. DEADLY RIOT.
Addendum to the dead-end-um: individual agency and accountability being what it is to us, I ultimately blame any actions on the perpetrators.

Huh.
Well, I imagine that, whoever they were, there were potentially some who were more interested in protesting at the Capitol rather than standing around for the speech, so it doesn’t seem all that weird. I’m just speculating and rationalizing, of course. No idea.
This will end well.
No, this will not end until their grasp exceeds their reach. Dark times ahead.
Just need a new acronym now. Assuming they’ve had the foresight to include “KAG”, perhaps you just label your rally a “BLM” march or something (Big Lūʻau Movement)?
They fully intend to provoke a lone wacko into doing something exceedingly stupid. Then they’ll really crack down.
Not good.
Do they really buy any of this?
I mean, there used to be a bit of tongue in cheek about political sparring of that nature. But they seem totally serious about all this. They just really don’t care. They build one lie upon another, stacking lies as high as they can reach them. And they seem to believe their own lie the second they tell it.
It is like the level of projection on the left has finally reached 100%.
This article is exactly how you know the entirety of the national press was in on the Russia lie and has been nakedly partisan propaganda. We all knew this stuff, and we don’t do it for a living. Yet they had no problem going on air all week and just flat lying about it all… “Unprecedented! Threat to democracy! Clear and present danger! Destroying our country!”
It is as if the entire world went through a filter and now Rachel Maddow is the reasonable center.
Is that like the razor-blade in the candy center?
