t's open thread Wednesday, and I need to know what's on your mind in the middle of the week.Speaking for myself, I am thinking Russians, Russians, and more Russians. ( I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that intel briefing about the Russians with those senators, today.)
I am also thinking that someone on team trump leaked those 2005 tax returns to Maddow and David Clay Johnston. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice......
Then there is the president of the United States beefing with a rapper. Seriously Mr. trump?! Snoop?!
But I get it. Anything to distract from the news of the day.
Anyway, he seems to have forgotten when one of his biggest supporters threatened the life of former president, Barrack Obama.
Thoughts?

Just watch my alma mata lose in NCAA ball. HBCU schools need to cultivate specialist to have a three point shooter at the end of close games. African Americans play " not to lose" in close bb games. Whites grow up reading about his people overcoming all odds in the end. They play " to win" in they last minutes of a game. Making 4 out of 24 attempts from the three point line will not win many games.
As to Russia and Donald's crew, I see whites polarizing to show who are the king of the globe. There has not been white versus white for sixty plus years in regards to killing people that looks same.
Speaking for myself, I am thinking Russians, Russians, and more Russians.
We already knew how deluded and divorced from reality you are.
What's going to be interesting is to see how crushed you are when this whole Russia nonsense plays itself out.

Unless your name is James Comey please shut the fuck up when grown folks are talking. Trump supporters certainly are dumb.
I'd like to announce that our investigaiton is complete and there is absolutely no evidence that there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and further, that there is no evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Secondly, we have found conclusive evidence that the Obama administration, under the direction of Presidnet Obama himself, conducted illegal wiretapping of the Trump camapaign during 2016, and I will be recommending that Attorney General Sessions indict the President on felony espionage charges.
"Then there is the president of the United States beefing with a rapper. Seriously Mr. trump?! Snoop?!"
Really, why all the fuss? All Snoop did was make a video that depicted him assassinating President Trump.
It's not like he was rodeo clown who put on an Obama mask or anything.
WTF?!? Is it just me? Call me crazy.
2005 tax returns just aren't relevant to the discussion here.
2005 was barely one year after Abu Ghraib broke. It was another year before the ridiculous runaway blockbuster, Borat was in theaters.
Happily, it was only a few months after Barack Obama's historic keynote at the 2004 democratic convention in Boston.
That was a long, fucking time ago. Kids in college today were in first grade. My golden retrievers were born that year. I hope to God they live another four years.
The only take-away is that's the last time Trump ever paid his fair share of taxes. But even worse, it's most likely his dealings with foreign governments and entities that he is covering up. Trump is a piece of shit with no plastic baggie to wrap him up in. The smell just doesn't go away.
http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2017/03/united-states-charges-two-russian.html
US charges 2 Russkies with hacking. Probably holdovers from Obama administration caught these because no one in the current administration could find their ass with either hand.
Wingnuts would be better served trying to find someone-anyone in the Drumpf administration that wasn't colluding with Russia. Bwahahahahaha!

And SIL's family raking in 400 million from the Chinese in a decidedly one way deal-favors Kushner. Something stinks to high heaven and it ain't just Drumpf's foul breath. Using the WH to enrich themselves while fucking over average Americans. Wingnuts! Lord love 'em because I sure as fuck don't. Disgusting, despicable POS.
Whites are all for diversity and sharing as long as it is not in their backyard. I know because I used to hold the 'diversity is great mindset'. When black racial solidarity came into full display after Trayvon and every other black saint I was disgusted beyond belief.
I eagerly await the next black riot in neighborhoods that they chased whites out of long ago. Get the black on white racially-motivated assaults and taunts on camera just in case any fence sitters still exist out there. Liberals now believe: violence is sometimes justified, only certain speech should be free, and that race is EVERYTHING. Good job digging your own graves, you deserve every bit of what is coming to you at this point.
Snoop? Shit, Al Jourgensen of Ministry used to beat up, sodomize, and murder George W. Bush onstage night after night.
And as for Ted, I don't think he ever came all the way back from the "seizure" or whatever horse shit he pulled onstage at Cal Jam II 39 years ago. And for someone who tries to act like a badass all of the time, he sure came up with the most disgusting way to weasel out of military service ever. Also, I have second year students who can play circles around him on the guitar.

Anymoose- what Drumpf is doing to America has nothing to do with race and everything to do with right wing filthy greed. Take away safety nets from the poor so the wealthy can have more. Then lie about it. Rinse and repeat. Then rouse the rabble with vicious lies and then pretend to be god fearing kristians while the wealthy rake in a few billions more. Just like Jesus Christo would do. Amirite?
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/lawsuit-accuses-monsanto-of-manipulating-research-to-hide-roundup-dangers/
Monsanto writes the reports and the EPA employees edit and sign to hide the dangers of glyphosphate. It will get worse without the EPA, but wingnuts don't give a shit about anyone but the wealthy.
Makes one wonder about the dangers of GMO foods that are supposed to be safe.
So the bastard president is getting ready to "reorganize the executive branch" which turns out to mean "dismantle the US government and sell it to his friends":

No you didn't. Fess up: Your mama gave birth at a Klan hootnanny, Cletus.
So they did it again tonight: A bunch of Republican congressweasels who came out publicly at town hall meetings in the face of angry questioning from their constituents with "Yes, Donald Trump needs to release his tax returns like every real president", went back to DC and voted against requiring the bastard president to actually do so.
GOP=Gang of Poltroons.

"I am also thinking that someone on team trump leaked those 2005 tax returns to Maddow and David Clay Johnston. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice......"
Rachel Maddow's big scoop was a snooze. I don't know why MSNBC hyped it like she'd landed the motherload of inside information on Trump, when it was just a snippet from one lousy tax return.
And it wouldn't be surprising if the White House leaked it to distract from the outrage of how badly he is betraying his poor white supporters by snatching away their health insurance after promising up and down during the campaign that he wouldn't do that. Selectively releasing one year's return, in which he had paid a semi-respectable amount of tax, and including no details on how he earns his money, would be guaranteed to draw a fair number of eyeballs to this non-story while revealing nothing that could actually hurt him.
"I don't know why MSNBC hyped it like she'd landed the motherload of inside information on Trump, when it was just a snippet from one lousy tax return."
Because their audience consists of hysterical morons who demand to be told what they want to hear and can't tell the difference between a motherload and a pussy fart.
It's sad and disturbing how many tr**p supporters are like Ted Nugent.
We should discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, ideology, etc. I have no problem saying Muslims should be excluded.
Yeah, it's just too bad you're just an internet troll and not someone with actual power.
Just a bad week for The Donald. Health care bill looks like it's going down, travel ban got shot down, he looks paranoid thinking Barack is in his microwave and he got his ass handed to him on twitter by TI. Doesn't look like it's gonna get better anytime soon.

It's almost as fun as watching Fox news viewers hopelessly search for any scandal in the Obama administration. Fast and Furious turned out to be a dud as did the IRS "scandal" and Benghazi. Just pathetic.
"Doesn't look like it's gonna get better anytime soon."
Keep telling yourself that, Pilot X. Don't look up.

I'm proud to say that Geert Wilders biggest electoral problem remains as it was, the great city of Amsterdam. His P.V.V. party finished a pathetic sixth in the Netherlandss biggest city with a weak 7% of the vote, behind even the much derided PvdA and the new pro-immigrant, anti Racism DENK party.
Trots op je, Amsterdammers.
Amsterdam results
G.L. = 19.3%
D66 = 18.2%
VVD = 15.2%
PvdA = 8.4%
Denk = 7.5%
PVV = 7%
S.P. = 6.5%
PvdD = 5.9%
CDA = 2.9%
Art.1 = 2.7%
50+ = 2%
Five other parties shared the rest.
Donald Trump will narrowly win reelection in 2020.
Fuck white people. Fuck the white race.

I guess he picked up a few seats which he can celebrate a little bit (pop a tiny, tiny bottle of champagne?).
But boy, what a climbdown. Wilders (happily) and the press (fearfully) were predicting his party could come in number one! NUMBER ONE! FASCISM HAS ARRIVED! DUTCHLAND UBER ALLES!

"This is a famous Chinese curse: "Maybe you live in interesting times." "
For the record, it isn't Chinese at all. It's actually a Yorkshire saying, first appeared in print in an article in the Yorkshire Post of 1931.
There is actually a similar old Chinese saying that goes something along the lines of "Better to be a dog in times of peace, than a man in times of war."
The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy used the tax information filed by 258 profitable Fortune 500 companies to analyze what those corporations actually paid. The companies chosen for the analysis collectively earned more than $3.8 trillion in profits over the eight-year period of the analysis.
Although the top corporate rate is 35 percent, the study found that 100 of the companies — nearly 40 percent — paid zero taxes in at least one year between 2008 and 2015.
Eighteen, including General Electric, International Paper, Priceline.com and PG&E, incurred a total federal income tax bill of less than zero over the entire eight-year period — meaning they received rebates.

Yeah, that's called Obama Crony Capitalism, and that's why we elected Trump.
Remember how tight Obama was with General Electric?

The hell with Snoop,the Donald and all the no good basturds runnin' the clown show!! Fish,golf and hide your goddamn money!!
Jeffery- you need to research a tad deeper. From 2000 to the start of 2010 (barely a year into Obama's tenure) GE shed 34000 US jobs-nearly all under dumbass dubya's reigh of terror.
Of course, General Electric (GE) has sold divisions and made acquisitions that make it a different company than it was in 2000, when Immelt took over (he was named CEO in November 2000, not 2001, as previously reported). But overall, the company has fewer employees, and is much more reliant on foreign workers, than it was when he began his tenure. At the end of 2000, GE employed 313,000 people, including 168,000 in the U.S. (54%). By the start of 2010, when the company filed its most recent annual report, GE had 304,000 workers, including 134,000 in the U.S. (44%).
"Anyway, he seems to have forgotten when one of his biggest supporters threatened the life of former president, Barrack Obama."
Saying one would be "dead or in jail" threatens no person or act. But DAYUM, are you stupid.
"I don't know why MSNBC hyped it like she'd landed the motherload of inside information on Trump"
It's "lode", you illiterate savages. "Mother lode". You shoot your load so often you have no concept of any other spelling or meaning.
"Better to be a man in times of war than to be a cow in the hands of Muslims."
Worse, you could be a goat and get raped first.
And speaking of the Africoon obsession with genocide, I'm going to take a look at it. Killadelphia was 44.1% Black in 2014, for about 688,000 Africoons. If they were rounded up, they would occupy roughly 7 major feetsbaw stadiums. This process would no doubt take some time, so any interim handling might well require a lot less space depending on the number in custody at any instant.
If the 'hoods were to be emptied in 5 days, it would require moving about 140,000 Africoons per day. A school bus with 13 rows of seats accomodates roughly 52 adults per trip. A bus making 10 trips per day from the 'hood to processing would carry 520 Africoons per day. Fewer than 280 school buses would be required for this transport task, a number EASILY on hand and surplus outside of the school year.
Marching you off and into cattle trailers takes a few men armed with M-16s, clubs and cattle prods. One cattle trailer would easily take a hundred, maybe 150, standing room only.
Backing the cattle trailer down a boat ramp takes some driving skill, but nothing truckers don't do daily. We all know you African rockfish don't swim even without flexi-cuffs on. Wait 20 minutes or until the noise stops. Then somewhere else to empty it. Figure 2 hours per cycle, 6 cycles/trailer/day, 900/day/trailer, about 155 tractor-trailers required.
Separating the reusables from the recyclables from the compostables comes next. That's labor-intensive. All the iPhones will be scrap from the water, but there'll be lots of gold chains and stuff that need to be sorted out. Electronics and textiles go to recycling. Nobody's ever going to want Air Jordans again.
The compostables go through a chipper and into bins. A high-end wheel-fed chipper can handle probably 1200 pounds of soft material per minute, roughly 6 units, 720 units/hour, 5760 units in an 8-hour day. At 140,000 units/day, only 25 chippers are required. The real trouble would probably be doing a daily tear-down so they can be properly pressure-washed.
The bins are loaded onto refrigerator trailers and shipped to pig farms, fish farms and rendering plants. Guessing 32,000 lbs payload excluding packaging, 160 units/trailer, 875 trailer loads/day are required, 80/hour over an 11-hour driving day. This is high but our roads carry a lot more than this all the time.
And after 5 days, Killadelphia is Philadelphia once more and all those assets can be moved somewhere else. When the city gets cleaned up, it'll STAY clean now.
Imagine simultaneous operations in Newark, New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles and points south. Easy to handle a million units/day, isn't it? In just 40 days, the entire problem is gone from the USA. We have everything we need.
NOW do you see why you don't want to make the White men angry?
I'd chip in a quarter so the bald guy can have a sex change operation from white to black. He pines to be black. Let's make his dream come true.
OW do you see why you don't want to make the White men angry? Uh, no.
I kinda like watching you foam at the mouth and dribble flecks of racist foam all over your racist self. Pretty funny, that.

I want James to stroll into a Black neighborhood and talk half the shit he does here. He'd get halfway through his little Hitler speech and get slapped like the bitch he is.
Great, James' goofy ass is off his meds.
Has everyone here seen "Moonlight?" Oscar for best picture, sure, but an affirmation of humanity, best proof yet that black writers and directors are best at telling their own stories, a work of art, both visually and dramatically. "Manchester by the Sea" was excellent but took too long to get going. "Moonlight" was damn near perfect. As the (white) NY Times critic said, he'd seen it 3 times before he realized there were no white actors in it. Same here. It wasn't about the Race Problem (not that the poverty wasn't traceable to it). You were swept up in the characters' lives, as humans with human problems and hearts.
Best all-black cast since "To Live with Anger," directed by the legendary Charles Burnett.
The achievement of "Moonlight" belongs to a different time zone than Trump's America, which has more in common with the 50s. The 1850s or 1450s.
Hey Doug, just got my Gretsch. Can't wait to play.

You can't see the forest, for the trees.
You Doug, this is why I never order online. These fools sent me a red guitar! Ha! I'm gonna play it a bit before I send it back though. I'll let ya know how she sounds.
I had a red guitar once, and it was kinda screwy. What model is your Gretsch?
-Doug in Oakland
Oh, you guys are really impressive!
PilotX says he never orders online. He gets a RED guitar. But, they SENT him one. Hmmmm....who sent it to you?
Dougie says he had a red guitar. No Model/Maker included.
You buncha liars.
Commandeered Queenie, I never suggested you singled anyone out. I did, but both sides don't do it-at least not the bizarre extent Drumpf does.
Give wingnuts enuf time there won't be any trees or forests. Take it all while it there to be taken. Many wingnut buddies will get filthy stinking rich off America's public lands and natural resources because wingnuts are disingenuously generous with other people's money and natural resources.
Now, once again, are you sick of Drumpf's lying yet?
mike, queenie from Iowa...show me one absolute truth, not some supposition, that Trump has been "lying".
He may not be saying what you want him to say, but where is the "lying" proven?
He claimed Obama wire tapped him. Jeff Sessions the Attorney General denied this claim as did Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. That is called a lie.
g5620t with the center block. Pretty good tone and had fun with the vibrato but I'll be sending it back tomorrow. This has been a real pain in the ass man. Gretsch says they have discontinued the model so I was scrambling to get one. Ordered from Muscian's Friend a few weeks ago and told me they'd ship March 7th but on the 7th they said August 1st so cancelled that and used reverb.com
You know anybody selling a black one? Ha!

Mine was a Yamaha SA2100, I bought it in 1987 at a music store in Berkeley that no longer exists, and I paid $950.00 cash for it. It was kinda screwy in that I was replacing an SA2000 that had been stolen, and the electrics on the SA2100 were different, and had push switches built into the tone controls that I never did find out the function of (my best guess is that they were phase switches, because they didn't add any noise like they would have if they were single coil switches) and the overall sound through my amps just never was as nice as SA2000.
It was still a very nice guitar, and I'm glad I had it all of those years.

Only thing is their foolishness effects me and my retirement and healthcare. Hate Republicans....just hate them.
What you are talking about is "code words".
Alnc, you are a sick mother fucker. You can't produce a cognitive arguemet, its just "gimme sum Money"
Lt. Commander Bitch still has a military title without serving. Just like Trump. Must be a conservative thing to play military without actually serving. What a little bitch

Do you think for one freaking second, that you will change my poster name?
You are so freaking stupid.
You want to attack me?
Use a name.
Fuck the gooks and chinks!
Commandeered Queenie- let's play retard. You already started.
BTW...did you ever notice that "Johnson", was a euphemism for "dick"?
I won't explain it again.
Yep, but you aren't a johnson you're a no serving pussy thus your new name.
C'mon we know you won't change your name because you are a pussy.
"I'd chip in a quarter so the bald guy can have a sex change operation from white to black."

"[N]OW do you see why you don't want to make the White men angry? Uh, no.
I kinda like watching you foam at the mouth and dribble flecks of racist foam all over your racist self."
This is how I know you're Black.
If I sketched out a similar plan to get rid of the Jews, they'd practically explode.
The revelation of the plan to get rid of White people is building a counter-revolution against it.
But I detail some of the logistics of getting rid of 40 million Black people in the space of the summer vacation season and show just how easy it would be, and all you do is yawn.
I find the contrast in reactions very, very revealing. It's been written that the problem with Black people is their inability to foresee consequences. You've just confirmed that in spades.
What this means in practical terms is that it's going to be really easy to carry off a scheme like that, because you'll never see it coming.
"How much you wanna bet James has a bowl haircut?"
Yes, how much DO you want to bet? I keep offering you serious bets, and get no takers.
"I want James to stroll into a Black neighborhood and talk half the shit he does here. He'd get halfway through his little Hitler speech and get slapped like the bitch he is."
Meanwhile, you hypocrites expect to be able to stroll into and even live in White neighborhoods and say whatever you want, and suffer not at all. Because dat be rayciss.
Soon, nobody's going to care what you say. They'll just tell you "you have to go back".
Now, James....
Just be sure you're carrying some "ice tea" & Skittles, and are a scholar athlete who wants to be an airplane engineer, and I'm sure you would be just fine walking down MLK boulevard at 12:00 on a week night.
