One of my guilty pleasures in life is EPL soccer. I spend too much time on Sunday mornings watching the match of the day from across the pond.Anyway, I was just watching the Manchester City Middlesbrough match, and right before halftime Middlesbrough scored to take a one to nothing lead. They celebrated, to be sure, but they knew there was a half to go, so they couldn't rest on their laurels. Invariably, the better side ended up scoring to equalize things, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Which brings me to my post. Today I watched Donald trump and his band of merry -winngut- men declare victory because the house narrowly passed a bill to replace the ACA. Trump was chirping on the White House lawn about what a victory he had won, and he gloated, once again, that he is the president.
You read that right. There was a Rose Garden ceremony for a bill that passed only one chamber. But that is so trump. Spiking the ball before he gets in the end zone.
The bill still has to pass the senate, and chances are zero to nothing that it will pass in its present form, if it passes at all. To stay with my soccer analogy, Mr. Orange Hair and his gang are celebrating as if they won the match and it's only halftime. They still have an entire half to go.
These clowns were so desperate for a political win that they rushed through the bill without some of their members reading it, and before it was scored and analyzed by the CBO.
But let's see where this goes from here, and what will happen to some of these GOP politricksters in swing districts when it's time to send them back to Washington.
If you listen to trump and his friends tell it, premiums will go down, coverage will go up, and all will be hunky dory in trumpland. We. Will. See.
"Appearing on The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer Thursday, Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY) conceded that he hadn’t even examined the document.
“I will fully admit, Wolf, I did not,” Collins said, saying that he relied on his staff to read the bill and brief him.
Collins was not alone. In the very next segment, Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) likewise said that he was briefed by his staff.
“This legislation affects a fifth of the U.S. economy and millions and millions of Americans,” Blitzer said. “Don’t you think it was important to actually sit down and read — read the language of this bill?”'
“You know, I have to rely on my staff,” Collins said. “And I can probably tell you that I read every word, and I wouldn’t be telling you the truth, nor would any other member. We rely on our staff, and we rely on our committees, and I’m comfortable that I understand this bill in its entirety, Wolf, without poring through every word.”'
All of Obama's legacy is being dismantled, piece by piece.

Murdered for being white and no one cares.
You're an idiot.
Delete"The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Kendrex J. White, was armed with a “Bowie-style” hunting knife, police say. When the officer ordered the suspect to the ground, he complied and was placed into custody..."
Now if there was a known suspect who hadn't been arrested but was allowed to go home until the police even determined whether the victim had it coming it not, that wild would be different.
But that's not the insult to injury added in this case as with every shooting of an unarmed black person by the police.
The law is being upheld and hopefully the perpetrator will never breathe free air again. The same cannot be said for any cowardly white police officer who decided that black meant shoot first and ask questions later.
100 years of hangings. Where was the outcry. Keep on moving... nothing to see. If America was consistent, I would care. After looking at Stering being murdered by two redneck police..... this tic for tac could go on infinite. Ask your grandparents did they shout out for all the abuse they witnessed to others.
ReplyDeleteThis bill is dead on arrival in the senate. The senate can write its own bill and send it back to the house, though, and that's where the danger lies.
ReplyDeleteThey probably won't be able to pull it off; what they're doing is cutting taxes, they don't give one hair on a rat's furry ass about healthcare, and any bill in the senate that increases the deficit ten years out can't be passed under reconciliation rules and would need 60 votes that they just don't have.
They could, however, pass a bill that undermines the ACA and claim that it saves money by destroying Medicaid, and weasel most of the rest of it through under reconciliation that way, but I don't know whether the Republicans in the senate are that clever. They can bald-face it and say whatever they think will get them a win, we know they have no shame, ethics, or human decency to get in the way (see also: Garland, Merrick) so no form of fuckery (rules changes) can be ruled out in their quest to get to their second round of tax cuts that this clears the way for.
I don't really care that Republicans are suicidally greedy and stupid, so long as they are only killing themselves, but this piece of obscene greed aims to kill tens of thousands of poor people, many of whom were retarded enough to believe president four-year-old when he told them that everyone would be covered and premiums and deductibles would go down.
Part of me feels for them, as I know what it feels like to be uninsured, and part of me is angry at them for falling for it when it was so naked of a lie, and sort of says "Go on and squeal, little pig-people, I told you he would bugger you, and he just did" although that isn't really helpful at all.
It isn't any less helpful than what these despicable creeps are trying to do, though, so fuck 'em in their necks.

ReplyDeleteBad, bad, bad!
"100 years of hangings. Where was the outcry."
ReplyDeleteThose hangings were in service of justice, where the legal system would not serve it.
Total lynchings of Blacks over the entire history of lynching: 3446.
Blacks murdered in Chimpcongo alone in 2016 (almost all by other Blacks): 75-80% of the total count of 762, or 572-610. (Daily Caller says 710, source unspecified. Bodymore, Murderland added close to 300 on its own.)
So right now Chimpcongo alone accounts for more Black murders every 5 years than THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF LYNCHING.
But you don't care.
Because Black Lives Don't Matter To You.
Only the battle against justice (against Whitey) matters to you.
Everything you say, everything you do, everything you ignore... is directed by race hatred. Whitey is increasingly woke to this. Now is the time to shut it down or GTFO, because three rednecks with rifles are equal to thirty bruthas with gats.
Narrator,
ReplyDeleteNarrate this, genius. Seven brown people shot by an insolvent white guy, sitting by the pool in his upscale apartment complex nursing his sense of impending doom by way of crushing debt with alcohol and a gun. He becomes interested in attendees of the birthday party of one of his neighbors.
He just sits there drinking, and finally gets his gun out and shoots four black men, two black women and one Latino, five of whom have died. He threatens a woman who attempts to help one of the victims. A SDPD crew arrives within minutes by helicopter ahead of the cruiser officers based only a few miles away at the San Diego Police Department, Northern Division.
With six black people shot, our illustrious chief, Shelley Zimmerman, still claims that there is not enough evidence to label it a hate crime.
You're winning, asshole. Take heart.
This is all Drumpf wanted -anything he could chalk up as a win for himself.

ReplyDeleteWas amazed to read a Jamaican-born Philadelphian use a phrase I woulda thought identified one as an old fogey of at least my generation.
ReplyDeleteWord Origin and History for hunky-dory
adj.
1866, American English (popularized c.1870 by a Christy Minstrel song), perhaps a reduplication of hunkey "all right, satisfactory" (1861), from hunk "in a safe position" (1847) New York City slang, from Dutch honk "goal, home," from Middle Dutch honc "place of refuge, hiding place." A theory from 1876, however, traces it to Honcho dori, said to be a street in Yokohama, Japan, where sailors went for diversions of the sort sailors enjoy.

"With six black people shot, our illustrious chief, Shelley Zimmerman, still claims that there is not enough evidence to label it a hate crime."
ReplyDeleteMost likely, nobody reported the shooter using a racial slur. (Which is amazing in itself. False claims of racial slurs are far more common than actual ones.)
On the other hand, we still have mass-murderers doing their thing with shouts of "allahu akbar" and the authorities declaring that the incident was "not terrorist-related", so at least we're seeing some balance. Maybe we can even get the balance on the RIGHT side of things someday.

ReplyDelete"But that's not the insult to injury added in this case as with every shooting of an unarmed black person by the police."
There is no comparison to the police shooting a criminal suspect who is violently resisting arrest with a racist murderer randomly killing someone he doesn't even know just because of his race.
The point to be considered that these events are occuring quite regularly these days, and that they almost always involve a black killer and white vicitms.
The one glaring exception was Dylan Roof, whose heinous case not only received wall to wall coverage for weeks, but whose blame was extended to all white southerners in general, resulting in the banning of the Confederate Flag and removal of Civil War monuments across the south. The law was certainly upheld with regard to Mr. Roof, who is now sittting on death row where he belongs.
Contrast the universal condemnation of Dylan Roof by White America with the tacit approval Black America gives to the racially motivated murders of whites. Even on this blog you have commenters making excuses that this is okay because of lynchings a century ago. Maybe StillaPanther2 could go to Harrison Brown's funeral and explain that to his family.
I blame our culture, the arbiters of which have a interest in stoking black resentment and pushing an anti-white narrative that justifies racially-motivated violence in the name of retribution. Do you really live in the kind of country where the pursuit of justice makes it is necessary to stab Harrison Brown to death?
You are even a bigger idiot than I originally thought. Why I even bother addressing racist fucktards like you is beyond me, except to let you know that only are you pitifully wrong, but you are piss poor ignorant as well.
DeleteOf course there is a "comparison to the police shooting a criminal suspect who is violently resisting arrest with a racist murderer randomly killing someone he doesn't even know just because of his race."
They both act of arrogance, violence and the assumption that their victims are less than human and deserve to die.
There is no excuse for either acting as judge, jury and executioner. However the police are held to a higher standard than your average bat shit crazy civilian.
The police shooting unarmed people is the epitome of cowardice. That they are not p punished for it is not anti-white narrative, it us simply calling out racism for say it is.
You disgust me so I will not bother responding to you again. Feel free to fuck off at your earliestb convenience you racist son of a bitch.

"I blame our culture, the arbiters of which have a interest in stoking black resentment and pushing an anti-white narrative that justifies racially-motivated violence in the name of retribution."
ReplyDelete------------------
I think most of us know who the "arbiters" are.
In his book "The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State", Benjamin Ginsberg sheds some light on Jewish interest in Civil Rights:
By speaking on behalf of blacks as well as Jews … Jewish groups were able to present themselves as fighting for the abstract and quintessential American principles of fair play and equal justice rather than the selfish interests of Jews alone.
It turns out that there was more to this alliance than simply fighting discrimination; by allying themselves with the blacks, the Jews found that they could covertly attack the people they perceived as their main political enemies and weaken if not destroy their political influence
We are all just puppets, dancing on the end of our strings.

ReplyDeleteBaldy loses some more.
While it is known that thousands of black Americans were lynched, the practice of “targeted racial violence” still has not been fully addressed, according to the report released Tuesday by the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit based in Alabama.
ReplyDelete“Lynchings were violent and public acts of torture that traumatized black people throughout the country and were largely tolerated by state and federal officials,” the report’s summary states. “These lynchings were terrorism.”
Researchers said they determined that 3,959 black people were killed in “racial terror lynchings” in a dozen Southern states between 1877 and 1950. The new number includes 700 people who were not named in previous works seeking to comprehensively document the toll, the authors wrote. Some of those previous studies were conducted at a time when lynching was still an ongoing phenomenon.

Clinton inherited the Cold War bonus from Reagan, historically low oil prices after Bush 1's Gulf War, the internet boom from decades of investment in computers, and was forced into spending cuts by the Republican congress led by Newt Gingrich.
The budget was never balanced, and there was no surplus. What he left Bush 2 was a recession after the tech stock crash. His dithering and inaction on Bin Laden is what led to 9/11, which is why he sent Sandy Berger to steal and destroy National Archive documents before the 9/11 commission could se them.

"the senate will be easier."
ReplyDeleteNo, Rebecca, it won't. Under reconciliation rules in the senate, certain bills can pass with a simple majority, which they have, but this bill isn't one of them.
Any bill that raises the deficit out ten years is still subject to the filibuster, and requires 60 votes to even make it to the senate floor. They don't have 60, and although they could conceivably change the rules to pass it, I doubt they will want to add their own careers to the mass political suicide taking place in the Republican conference just now.
More likely is that the senate will pass its own bill which will suck, but not as hideously as the house's bill did, and send it back to the house to let them trip over it, like they did the first two AHCAs. Then, they might pass it, if they can get their act together, but it won't be this bill, which isn't going anywhere except into attack ads against the Republicans who voted for it.

ReplyDeleteRepublican congressional majorities, led by then House Speaker Newt Gingrich, enacted the largest capital gains tax cut in U.S. history, slashing the rate by 40% from 28% to 20%. Along with some other tax cuts on capital, that helped to promote an economic boom that produced surging revenues.
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Congress then cut federal discretionary spending from 1995 to 1996 by 5.4% in real dollars, after adjusting for inflation. As a percent of GDP, federal discretionary spending, including defense and non-defense, was slashed by 17.5% in just 4 years, from 1995 to 1999.
The Congress also adopted some entitlement reform. The AFDC welfare program was terminated as an entitlement, and sent back to the states with work requirements and federal financing in fixed, finite block grants. Agricultural subsidies were phased out under the Freedom to Farm reforms (later reversed under House Speaker Dennis Hastert). President Clinton deserves credit only to the extent he was forced to go along with these Congressional Republican reforms.
