It's "hump day", so let me know what you feel about a few things.For instance, the RNC convention going on in Cleveland.
The Montel Williams Bill O'Reilly feud.
Roger Ailes becoming Bill Cosby.
Is Melania's alleged speech writer even real?
Steve King letting his inner Klan show.
And twitter suspending a right-wingnut.

Steve King acknowledgement of western civilizations contributions to the advancement of all societies wasn't a bad thing. What is bad is the point we have gotten to in this country where we can't even notice or be, gasp, proud of all the good western civilization has contributed.
The things that disgusted me most about the convention was the demonetization of of Iran; the worship of traitor Reagan; and no mention of Obama and Hillary creating, training, and arming ISIS. That is because the GOP was for that too. So far it looks like the same old establishment GOP. The criticisms of Hillary were lightweight. The "brave Americans" who died in Benghazi were terrorists who were helping ISIS overthrow sovereign countries. When they did have credible criticisms I think they should have mentioned sources more often, to convince people who aren't in the choir. As far as the speeches go, Donald Trump Jr.'s was the best. It's no wonder that Melania's speech writer copied Michelle's speech. Michelle's speech was the best at the last DNC convention.
I can't wait for Hillary and the DNC to show what a class act they are compared to the unfortunate RNC.

I suspect what candidate wives, and a lot of other speakers, do is meet with a speech writer or writers. They tell the writers what they want to say, and the writers get them to elaborate on good points and ask them questions about points they think should be added. Then the writers format the interview into a cohesive speech.
The central theme of Manifest Density or the "Pale Male Power Syndrome" cannot be easily "whitewashed from this list characters.
Bill Wryly married a female 16 years his junior. Lied about his background as a war correspondent, allegedly beat his wife, allegedly settled a sexual harassment suit and hired a "Dick" to snoop on his wife after they had separated. Stereotypical angry Irish guy. Drama queen. Severe "Masculine Overcompensation."
Roger Ailes, was a sickly child whose parents divorced when he was a child. He too overcompensated by marrying a female 20 years his junior and used his power to allegedly demand sex from females in his employ. If charges prove true he is little more than a degenerate opportunist.
Melanija is in over her head, buried under the rubble of lies from her allegedly being a college grad to writing her own convention speech. She is 20+ years younger than Don "everybody loves me" Drumpf. Then again, got to give her credit, she dropped a load for Donnie boy, guaranteeing a big payday if things don't work out.
Steve King a self described "Redneck," is a college dropout and draft dodger with a penchant for the devaluation of cultures outside the Eurocentric fold and a backer of the concept of "legitimate rape," as an opponent of a woman's right to abortion.
Last but not least is the matter of the gay male versus the Black woman. Nothing to see here. Poor Milo just got tossed trying to out sister a sister.
When a Black Lives Matter protest was planned in Wichita, BLM and the police got together and changed it to be a cookout, dance, and question and answers session. Some police departments are well run. The Dallas police department seemed like it was. The one in Baton Rouge seems like one with rampant racism.

Right on, Arthur.
What about the racist statement by the white minstrel act Esquire writer right before where he said he hoped this is the last we'd ever see of white people having any political say? WTF is that? Don't white people have interests like everyone else? Speaking the truth about the accomplishments of European civilization is something the Left wants to criminalize.
Everything is going to change once people are free to say what their own eyes see without having their livelihoods destroyed.
Hold onto your hats, bitches.

But Trump isn't. Trump is going to end the neocon hold on the GOP, and he is going to stop the Obama/Clinton aggression in Syria, Libya and Ukraine.
Hillary is a fucking warmonger.
Problem is, most blacks live by a False Narrative.
When is last time a White Person was Racist to you?
Don't Lie.
Melania was texting during the National Anthem, oh, wait, wrong First Lady.... my bad!:

That's not what Charlie Pierce said. He said that if he was optimistic he would say that this would be the last time old white people will set the platform for the Republican party, but hedged by saying he thought that last time too. He didn't say anything about white people not having a political say, as he is sane and that idea, considering that white people are a majority here, is crazy.

Trump will change the GOP alright. He'll make it even more hostile to black Americans!

Steve King letting his inner Klan show.
Manifest Density, aka the Pale Male Power Syndrome, requires general subterfuge to manipulate the truth.
For example, until the last stone is turned and every square inch of the firmament has yielded its last clue, the fact that modern man originated in Africa has not been disputed. (Got to give them credit though, because they sure are busy trying.) In spite of this fact,the neanderpeon mind ignores this and creates a false reality where the African, is the Sub-group.
Did everyone else know about this already? Another unarmed black man shot in the street. Monday - so we're just seeing the video?
Therapist Charles Kinsey was trying to rescue an autistic man who had sat down in the middle the pavement with a toy truck. Kisnsey had his hands up when he was shot. This has to be beyond even racism. This can only be a cocktail of racism + stone idiocy. Who are these moronic cops? Can't we screen out the truly stupid ones?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/helping-autistic-man-black-therapist-shot-florida-police-044231095.html
Miami--why not?
Hispanic and Asian cops shooting blacks. Get used to it.
Some people in America are very concerned about white racism, and other people have real problems.
Anotherbozo, sadly, this seems to be the new normal in America.
BTW, the race of the shooter is irrelevant.
"BTW, the race of the shooter is irrelevant."
Right, because it's not about racism, it's about black criminality.
Black suspects are less likely than white to be killed by police.
This whole issue is a lie, promulgated by those who wish to sew division and fear to advance their political agenda. You are a chump, Field for playing along.
With all of the media attention, you'd think Melania had compromised national security, been the target of a federal felony investigation, and had her criminal acts listed and detailed by the head of the FBI.
If she just says she didn't "intend" to plagiarize, that would make it okay, right?
I fear for the everyday safety of my black brothers and sisters. A Trump presidency will only make things worse. Consider that when you are at the ballot in November.
Why can't white people do anything without being accused of ripping off/stealing from black people?
Field, you are probably preparing your take on the shooting of the caregiver in Miami who was trying to help his 27-year-old autistic patient. Cop(s) shot the black guy on the ground, hands raised, following their instructions, but not (thankfully) the white guy sitting up with something (a toy) in his hand. Lord deliver us.
White Supremacy is now basically saying:
"It would be bad if White People didn't exist and I guess maybe not all of them were totally Hitler."
Nazi!
Cops are rationally afraid of being killed by violent, unpredictable blacks who exhibit antagonism toward police and a propensity to resist arrest.
Some wisdom from the dearly departed about a particular sort of greed that some white people (and others, he makes that clear) are sort of infamous for, and I find topical right about now:

-Doug in Oakland
Hillary really is greedy. Insatiably so.
We have a nation where the Democrats are trying to win a permanent electoral majority through immigration. Looks like they'll succeed too. What the Dems do with that majority will make the other side even more bitter even as the Dems applaud resentments and Dems in the academy teach the politics of grievance in their own coalition.
So what happens next? What's noteworthy is that many of our trends that are creating the fracturing of America haven't run their full course yet. Universities are still moving left. Identity politics of many types (and a feeling of grievance of many of those types) is celebrated by our Left and used as its main marketing tool. We are way past the age of the world working class. Now its people of color as victims. Feminism as demonization of men. Trust is still declining.The population is still aging. The nationalist-transnationalist fight is escalating with the reaction taking such forms as Brexit and Trump.
The elites can't buy off unhappy factions because they've tied up so much spending in entitlements that all other forms of spending are shrinking.
Seemingly as an aside the elites have decided to push black people out of urban areas so whites and non-black immigrants can move in. This is driven by the preferences of upper class liberals.
Blue collar workers still repair cars, stock grocery store shelves, collect the trash, and provide other services to knowledge workers. But the blue collar service workforce is going to get automated out of most of their jobs just as the blue collar factory workforce has been. The dependence of office knowledge workers on blue collar workers will therefore plummet and their need for geographic proximity will plummet as well. Look at San Francisco, whose black population is steadily being driven across the bay. In New York, Harlem is no longer a black neighborhood. The future will consist of gated cities populated by a white and Asian overclass surrounded by a sea of Fergusons, Fresnos and Appalachian dirt holes housing a prole majority.
Hillary's election makes the acceleration of these trends all but certain. I hope you know what you are voting for.
It wasn't King's comments that Western culture has been good for the world, that point could be argued back and forth. What was disturbing was his assertion that non-Western culture hasn't produced anything of value to the modern world.
Personally, I was waiting for him to realize that Jesus Christ, and hence Christianity, was born in the Middle East. I was also waiting for him to realize gunpowder was invented during the Tang dynasty in China. So....guns and Christianity? I thought the Right loved those things. Guess I'm wrong about that.
"his assertion that non-Western culture hasn't produced anything of value to the modern world"
False. He only asserted Western culture has contributed the most to modern civilization. This can be debated, but it would be difficult to assert differently.
It will be interesting to see how Fox News changes after Ailes. Murdoch's kids were reported embarrassed by the network under Ailes. Also, Donald Trump negotiated the severance package for a long time Ailes PR guy, so Fox News coverage of Trump won't be effected by Trump having dirt Trump on Ailes anymore. I don't expect a massive brand change though. They'll probably just tone it down some.
You'd think you could get the truth about Hillary on Fox News, and the truth about Trump on MSNBC, but you can't. They both lie. And they both want war. I've found myself turning to Fox from MSNBC sooner and more frequently lately. It is apparent to me that the Comcast execs have clamped down on the MSNBC hosts more. Fox has always been more tolerant of opposing views, but they used to micromanage their talking points more. It used to be that if they didn't agree with something the execs wanted them to say, they could just not talk about the topic. Your show would get promoted like Maddow's and Matthew's do, but you wouldn't loos your job over it. You never saw Ed Schultz even come close to covering anything like this when he was at MSNBC:

From NBC:
Police union: Officer was trying to shoot other man, not Charles Kinsey; thought man was armed and Kinsey's life was in danger.
Waiting for the facts: Not Field Negro's strong point.
"Police union: Officer was trying to shoot other man, not Charles Kinsey; thought man was armed and Kinsey's life was in danger."
White men can't jump OR shoot.
"Cops are rationally afraid of being killed by violent, unpredictable blacks who exhibit antagonism toward police and a propensity to resist arrest."
Watch the video. That fear certainly seems irrational in this case.
"Police union: Officer was trying to shoot other man, not Charles Kinsey; thought man was armed and Kinsey's life was in danger."
Soooo, are u saying that he was poorly trained? Because, if you are, that is a serious problem.
White men are bad at a lot of things, except for being dumbasses.
As for Melania, or as she will soon be known, the next FLOTUS, and the speech, my thoughts are that 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'!
An honest mistake made by the writer!
See, I can be blind too when it suits me xD

No, I am saying you are a poorly trained blogger who refuses to learn from previous mistakes and consistently jumps to the wrong conclusions in order to advance an agenda of ignorance.

Correct, he was Latino:

People just project want they want to hear onto any news story.
Comment from the link:
This shooting is the clearest example yet of too many people getting shot by cops. This is a real problem, that has nothing to do with race. But for Obama, everything has to do with race, so instead of helping to solve it, he exacerbated a different problem.
I haven’t seen any pundit make the connection, but some of this stems from how atomized America is today. There’s little in the way of organic community institutions that can deal with stuff without calling 911, which brings cops at Def Con 1. Maybe if there were a neighborhood watch that could have taken a closer look at the autistic guy and saw he had a toy before someone called the police.
Maybe in the Alton Sterling case, there could have been a merchant’s association or whatever to give Sterling a job sweeping up the sidewalks in front of the stores instead of selling CDs.
Maybe in the case of the black lady whose mentally ill son was shot dead by a cop for holding a screw driver, there could have been some neighbors to call to help get him to the mental hospital without killing him.
and:
There is a big problem with how 911 calls are passed on and with how the police treat “man with a gun.” It was reported as “suicidal white guy with a gun” (it was a toy truck – the man was autistic and childlike). One the police arrive at the scene expecting a gun, they are primed to see one and as soon as they see one they feel justified in killing you immediately, especially if you don’t seem to be “compliant.” People are often not compliant because there is something wrong with them (mental illness, don’t speak English, etc.). The police killed Tamir Rice TWO SECONDS after they arrived on the scene, because he was “reaching for his gun.”

Funny, you idiots are quick to pull that "hispanic" shit when wypipo do something criminally stupid like shooting at therapist assisting an autistic man. But "forget" that FACT when it's something you like (negro killing) done by someone you love, like that fat ass Zimmerman.
Or did being half redneck save his Zimmerman's ass in your eyes?
@Yisheng:
Was that an attempt at a coherent response? Because if it was, you failed.
Zimmerman would have been considered "Hispanic" by the you, the government, and the media had he done anything other than shoot a black person.
But since he did shoot a black person you, the government, and the media decided that your agenda needed him to be white.
Since this was obviously not the case, the New York Times invented the term "White Hispanic" just for George Zimmerman.
With the Charles Kinsey story, your agenda decided that what happened was that a white cop shot a black therapist for no reason other than his own racism. When the facts say it was actually a Hispanic cop who was shooting at a white guy with a toy train in his hand but missed and accidentally hit the black therapist he was trying to protect, you sputter out some bizarre nonsense about white people claiming George Zimmerman for the white team.
You are a complete mess of a human being. You should see a psychiatrist pronto.
@6:16' I personally think it's IMPOSSIBLE to White AND Hispanic, because IMHO, Hispanics are people of color.
With that out if the way, CLEARLY Zimmerman thinks he's White and I'm sure he'd shoot you if you told him otherwise, AFTER buying a buying a bag of skittles.
