OPEN THREAD WEDNESDAY.

MORE DISCLAIMERSIt's open thread Wednesday field hands, and as is always the case, I need your thoughts on a few things.

Is the president of the United States an Archie Bunker type bigot? Or is his type of bigotry a  dangerous and calculated manipulation of the masses?

Will the Royal family really allow a little color to creep into their bloodlines?

Has Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit Kelly Ann Conway territory with her lies?

Did we really need Rev. Al to visit Meek Mill in prison? 

Does the Washington Post exposing that fraud James O'Keefe and his gang prove that they do real journalism?

Is trump merchandise being made in China a big deal?

Finally, North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile off the coast of Japan today, and trump said that he "will take care of it". Do you believe him?

"Is the president of the United States an Archie Bunker type bigot? Or is his type of bigotry a dangerous and calculated manipulation of the masses?"

Both. He genuinely is racist.

But also, I believe, he sometimes goes above and beyond his own racist beliefs, and cranks the hate up to eleven to draw in the angry redneck vote. He knows what they want to hear.

"Will the Royal family really allow a little color to creep into their bloodlines?"

Technically, Meghan Markle probably won't be impacting the royal line. Prince Harry is fifth in line for the British throne, so he won't ever be king unless his entire family careens off a cliff together in a tragic horse-drawn carriage accident. (They're royals, so I'm assuming they travel everywhere in a Cinderella-style coach with footmen? Yes, I'm sure that's how it works. But then, I've been wrong before.)

"Has Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit Kelly Ann Conway territory with her lies?"

She'll never deliver the lies with the same panache as Kellyanne Conwoman. I miss Kellyanne, because her lies were so preposterous, at least they were good for a few laughs.

"Did we really need Rev. Al to visit Meek Mill in prison?"

No. Meek Mill is a wealthy celebrity, not some downtrodden kid in the projects. He's got lawyers to fight his side. Reverend Al must be bored or lonely or something.

Personally, I can't be bothered to put in the work to follow all the many twists and turns of Meek Mill's parole hearings to determine if he's really been mistreated by the justice system. He does seem to have handled things rather badly, but that doesn't necessarily that the judge hasn't acted unreasonably as well.

Meh.

"Does the Washington Post exposing that fraud James O'Keefe and his gang prove that they do real journalism?"

Only the dim bulb Trump fanboys think the Post doesn't do real journalism. And no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

A better question is: What the hell is wrong with our laws that a professional slanderer like O'Keefe isn't bankrupted and sent to prison for serially defaming people? Most reasonable countries would not let a person get away with making a career of such vile behavior. He would be regarded as "convict," not "controversial."

"Is trump merchandise being made in China a big deal?"

Again, not for the wee, tiny-brained Trump chumps. They don't seem to care that his patriotic, America First rhetoric is a yuuuuge fraud.

"Finally, North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile off the coast of Japan today, and trump said that he "will take care of it". Do you believe him?"

Unfortunately, I do believe he will "take care of it." I am terrified as to how.

Why is the fate of Dreamers so important to our political leaders when we have the middle class dying younger, Americans sleeping on the street, our youth shooting each other, and a growing drug epidemic?

Like him or hate him, Trump is no racist. He has been in the public eye for decades and there is not a single piece of evidence to the contrary. Sorry, but that's a fact.

Anonymous said...

"Drumpfuck will drop the hammer on merry olde England if Obamas get invited to Prince Harry's wedding and you know what doesn't. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Trump will say he was invited and turned it down, much like when he totally didn't want that Man of the Year award Time Magazine offered him. Then he will rant that the entire United Kingdom is a "loser" and "failing" country.

Admittedly, the UK kind of is failing, since they had their own little Anglo-Saxon Trump-spasm and voted for Brexit, which is the macroeconomics equivalent of stabbing yourself in the eye with a rusty fork for absolutely no reason.

Maybe because inflicting misery on Dreamers will not fix any of the other problems you listed? And you only believe otherwise because you are a repulsive racist lowlife?

Fake News.

Harvard isn't going to give any extra consideration in hiring to a woman who is 1/128th Navajo, or whatever minuscule amount of Native American ancestry Elizabeth Warren believed she had. That's not how affirmative action works.

Plus, you don't believe in affirmative action anyway.

No decent person finds this slander funny, least of all the Native American veterans Trump attempted to repeat the lame joke to at the White House. It went over with them like a lead balloon. Tough room, as the standup comedians say.

I don't think Trump even understands the joke. Someone just told him it was popular in "deplorable world," so he repeats it.

Because trump is making America great again so no worries about yoofs shooting each other and Jared is handling the drug epidemic so we have to have something to focus on right? Unless trump lied and things aren't getting better.

"Jared is handling the drug epidemic so we have to have something to focus on right?"

Jared Kushner is also responsible for:

*Delivering peace to Israel/Palestine. No biggie there. Should have that wrapped up in a week.

*Making Mexico not hate us after his father-in-law said their citizens were rapists and they'd be forced to pay for a wall to keep their citizens out of our country

*Making China not hate us after his father-in-law insisted the dirty yellow man had been screwing our economy

*"Reimagining" the Department of Veterans Affairs, whatever the hell that means (probably telling veterans to go pay for their own damn health care, because Donald prefers soldiers who DON'T get wounded)

*Reforming the criminal justice system, whatever the hell that means (probably introducing summary execution of unpatriotic NFL players)

*And, of course, that age-old conservative claptrap about making government “run like a business" -- Jared is supposed to somehow make that happen.

After that Jared will obviously be curing cancer, and thwarting Lex Luthor's plan to destroy all world capitals with his death ray.

Then, maybe, possibly, if he gets around to it, Jared can get to work on the whole opioid addiction problem.

The Trump administration is saying they want to reduce the budget of the State Department by a whopping 31%.

Their justification? We won't need diplomacy anymore after Trump fixes all the world's problems. No, really. I only wish I were kidding.

In the words of Rex Tillerson: “Part of this bringing the budget numbers back down is reflective of an expectation that we’re going to have success in some of these conflict areas, getting these conflicts resolved and moving to a different place in terms of the kind of support we have to give,” Tillerson said.

When is this White House NOT fucking up?

We really need to keep Trump on that golf course 365 days a year. Anytime he's doing something to the government, he is, by definition, doing something bad to it.

Keep that man putting.

The WP is fake news. Discrediting a Roy Moore accuser to protect themselves from a James O'Keefe set up doesn't show any commitment to honest journalism at all. Also don't forget their parent company's cloud service for the CIA is worth much more than the WP is. The WP might even want Moore to win. The CIA can easily control a pedophile with blackmail. The WP hired John Podeta by the way.

Question:
Is the president of the United States an Archie Bunker type bigot?
Or is his type of bigotry a dangerous and calculated manipulation of the masses?

Answer: "Yes" for both of your questions.

Question:
Will the Royal family really allow a little color to creep into their bloodlines?

Answer: Only time will tell. Let's see if they make it to the altar. Remember, Princess Diana's untimely
demise is still deemed suspicious as she was dating an African (he was an Egyptian and Egypt is
in Africa!!!!)

Question:
Has Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit Kelly Ann Conway territory with her lies?

Answer: Yes, white women have always been better liars than white men. They only pretend to be damsels
in distress around their men so that they don't emasculate them and make them feel dumb.

Question:
Did we really need Rev. Al to visit Meek Mill in prison?

Answer: Reverend Al is looking for a paycheck. Like an ambulance chaser.

Question:
Does the Washington Post exposing that fraud James O'Keefe and his gang prove that they do real journalism?

Answer: Hmmm.

Question:
Is trump merchandise being made in China a big deal?

Answer: His racist base wouldn't care if he makes his merchandise in North Korea.
As long as he remains a racist, and a bigot they won't care where he makes his stuff.
Insulting those Native Americans underneath the framed picture of that president was no
accident. It was PLANNED AND CALCULATED!

POINTS TO PONDER:
ABOUT THE PROPOSED "SO CALLED" TAX REFORM:
*God help anyone making less than 74,000 a year....if his tax reform goes through, then his base will get to see what he really feels......"ROBBING FROM THE POOR MIDDLE CLASS, IN ORDER TO GIVE TO THE RICH!"

ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, TAXES, THE RICH, THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE POOR:
How long can this country continue to sustain itself when rich billion dollar corporations that don't pay any taxes at all, keep shifting that responsibility to the poor and middle class?

There is no reason to believe that U.S. corporations will invest more in America if they get a huge tax cut.
Large U.S. corporations are hardly strapped for cash now and therefore would not necessarily use a tax cut to make new investments. Corporations currently have relatively high levels of cash available for investments and can borrow funds at low interest rates, yet real business investment has remained well below its historic trend.11 Many firms have opted to use their cash to buy back shares, boosting stock prices, rather than make new investments or pay their workers more.

The slowdown in investment is real but has very little to do with corporate taxes. Research by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that the problem of levels of private-sector investment has occurred across advanced economies, including many countries with much lower statutory corporate tax rates. Indeed, the IMF found that Ireland—one of the world’s leading corporate tax havens12—has seen the sharpest slowdown in investment growth. The IMF research indicates that low levels of aggregate demand are the main culprit behind low levels of private-sector investment.13
To strengthen long-term U.S. competitiveness, corporations should pay their fair share in taxes to help fund public investments

U.S. corporations should pay their fair share of the cost of public investments that will make our economy strong and competitive.
They can afford it. Closing corporate tax loopholes, for example, will increase revenue and help fund public investments in worker skills and education and in modernizing and improving American transportation and health infrastructure. These investments will make our economy even more attractive to business and at the same time provide economic opportunity for all.

That's exactly how affirmative action works, organizations get credit from the government for hiring anyone who isn't non white. There are huge advantages waiting for any white person who can plausibly shed their white identity.

Elizabeth Warren getting a pass for appropriating an entire ethnicity for professional advancement is the definition of “white privilege.”

Yes, unfortunately, a sizable amount of liberalism is devoted to stopping rednecks from doing bad things, because it turns out that rednecks do want to do tons of bad things.

Such as wanting to be racist or sexist or homophobic. Wanting to give guns to dangerous lunatics. Wanting to allow robber baron scumbags to rig the economy for their benefit and reduce everyone else to serfs.

And hey, Alabama Republicans have nominated a senatorial candidate who praises Jesus at every available opportunity, but likes to stick his pecker into little girls. So apparently, that is also what redneck America is about: wanting to stick your pecker into little girls.

Forgive my liberalism for wanting to stop y'all from acting like trash. Cause y'all is trash.

No, conservatives victimize other people, out of greed, or out of irrational fear of those who are in any way different from them.

Then they turn around and blame the people they've victimized for their victimization.

Then they say it was God who told them to be victimizers, so it's totally fine.

MORE ACTUAL DEFINITIONS of "LIBERALISM"

4) https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism
"Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others, but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty. As the revolutionary American pamphleteer Thomas Paine expressed it in Common Sense (1776), government is at best “a necessary evil.” Laws, judges, and police are needed to secure the individual’s life and liberty, but their coercive power may also be turned against him. The problem, then, is to devise a system that gives government the power necessary to protect individual liberty but also prevents those who govern from abusing that power."
5) https://www.thefreedictionary.com/liberalism
"2.a. A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority."
6) https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/liberalism
"uncountable noun
Liberalism is a belief in gradual social progress by changing laws, rather than by revolution.
2. uncountable noun
Liberalism is the belief that people should have a lot of political and individual freedom.
noun
the quality or state of being liberal
; specif.,
a. a political philosophy advocating personal freedom for the individual, democratic forms of government, gradual reform in political and social institutions, etc."
7) http://www.chegg.com/homework-help/definitions/liberalism-53
"Liberalism is a broad political ideology that emphasizes liberty and equality. While it encompasses a diverse range of views, common liberal ideas place value on constitutions, democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, free trade, and the separation of church and state. Liberal internationalism is a doctrine that believes that states should intervene in other nations' affairs in order to promote liberal objectives, and liberal internationalists are dedicated to the advancement of global democracy. This approach is at odds with that of political realism. In the 19th and 20th centuries, liberalism contributed to the elimination of slavery, the replacement of monarchies with constitutional governments, and the establishment of international organizations such as the United Nations."

- Et cetera and so on and so forth. There are some tangents into the area of so-called "economic liberalism", but I find the phrase to be deliberately false and an intentional obfuscation of both actual liberalism, and the actual thing referenced, which is complete laissez-faire capitalism, a thing which is incompatible with any form of government, and which therefore has not existed in written history.

- "Liber" is Latin for "free". "Liberty" is freedom to live as one wishes, so long as one is not harming others or infringing upon the liberties and rights of others.
-
- BTW, it is the very LIBERalism of the Constitution which right-wingers depend upon for those laws that support their LIBERties and rights, such as property rights and, for that matter, their gun ownership, as well as all the other rights.
-
- It's always the people who wish to deny LIBERties to everyone who is not exactly like themselves, who turn around and bark the loudest against LIBERals and LIBERalism.

Wingnuts tried to tie Las Vegas shooter to anti-Drumpfuck demonstration and failed as usual.


- Sure - it's all a vast global conspiracy of hatred, funded by George Soros, against all of these repeatedly-and-loudly-self-proclaimed "good freedom-loving white male christians". Of course, the reason they have to keep shouting their claimed identity at the world is:
nobody, but nobody, would ever be able to guess, from their words and their actions, that they are good, or freedom-loving (ecept for themselves at least), OR "Christians"... :p :p :p
- To paraphrase Shakespeare, "They doth protest too much, methinks..."

Soros and Kushner and possibly Drumpfuck hizself have been in business arrangements before. It follows that if Soros is as bad as wingnuts claim, what does that make Drumpfuck and his SIL?

"Interesting isn't it!! Vegas shooter was alt left operation to spark the gun control agenda by the radical left to disarm Americans."

If a classroom full of babies torn apart by an assault rifle doesn't spark gun control why would a crowd full of drunk gamblers move anyone? Nice try though.

South Dakota senior Sinator Marlboro Barbie....er....John Thune said victims of shootings like in Vegas need to make themselves smaller targets. How did that work out for the kids at SandyHook, Thune, you stoopid fucking wingnut?

Thune is number three in the Sinate heirarchy. I guess that means he is a combination of piss and shit. He is the tall, thing one always standing behind McCTurtle and Cornyn with a shit eating grin on his face.

Wingnuts got a 52-48 vote on tax cuts for billionaires so now they can debate it and then try to reconcile it with the taxcuts for billionaires from the house of ill repute.

I am out of here for the evening.

- The actual reason is because they're losers who blame all of their disappointments and bad choices on everyone and anyone who is not *exactly* the same as they are, but their frail egos can't deal with that truth, so they latch onto race as their crutch.

" This wasn't even a good attempt by nutjobs as the middle names of the 2 Stephens weren't the same and brothers names were entirely different."

Maybe they think that middle names don't matter when identifying people, like how crosscheck purged voters from state rolls because they say those voters were registered in another state, but often had different middle names.

Nope, what am I saying? They don't think. There does seem to be some sort of biological process taking place between their ears, but I haven't seen any evidence of it rising to the level of thought.

Elizabeth Warren never endorsed Sanders but she went all out for Mrs. Wall Street. Warren would have been the logical choice for VP to unite the party but she didn't know that Tim Kaine had been picked a long time ago, as WikiLeaks revealed. Kaine got Debbie Wasserman Schultz in to replace him as DNC chair when Wasserman Schultz was Hillary's campaign manager against Obama. Contrast that with Tulsi Gabbard who quit as DNC vice chair to campaign for Sanders because Hillary was a war monger. Elizabeth Warren is a phony.

Limpbaugh said...

In some ways Trump seems like a more vindictive racist than Archie Bunker. Maybe that is just because Trump is in a position of authority where he can act on his racism. But Trump doesn't negatively stereotype everyone of a race. Examples of that were him desegregating golf clubs and him getting along with Saudis. Like other modern day racists Trump believes there are "good ones".

All are just as likely to win a Nobel prize in physics, set a 100 meter dash record, or live peaceably together by the same set of rules and customs, whether or not they speak the same language or worship the same God.

Tarsands Prowd of his Drapes, Commandeered goofy fucker, Anymoose and other wingnuts have a day of reckoning coming. Of course, being stoopid fucking wingnuts they won't realize until it is too late. They should just thank all of us kind, gentle Libs for leveling with them while Drumpfuck has been lying his ass off.

Wingnuts are the cat who goes for a boat ride with his owner. The cat thinks he has a surprise coming. (Boy does he) Hiz owner placed him in a gunny sack full of rocks and tied it shut. In the middle of the lake when the bag first hits the water, the cat realizes that life preservers aren't made of burlap. Buh bye stoopid fucking wingnuts. We tried to warn you stoopid fucking wingnuts.

You even had clues before Drumpfuck wasn't your friend. Remember the time Drumpfuck mumbled something about the vet and what sounded like tutored? You jumped for joy and couldn't wait to learn something. Well. my, my, my, you sure changed yer tune Reverend. You are still nuts, you just don't have any anymore. Better check yer hearing.. Too late. Yer dead. Drumpfuck just drowned yer pathetic ass because you wouldn't listen to the gentle voice of reason from us kind Libs. Fuck you, stoopid fucking neutered, dead wingnuts.

I wonder how many federal agencies I got turned into by whiny, sappy, stoopid fucking wingnuts?

Let's get this party rolling. Drumpf was posting fake videos and now he and the English PM are at loggerheads all because of the spoiled four year old brat in the White House. Impeachment and a lengthy jail sentence can't come soon enough for crooked Drumpfuck and his entire crooked family.

We now know why these serial rapist were so eager to get Hillary Clinton in the White House. Donald Trump is serious about draining the swamp.

Stepping down over past misconduct is a good start, but Dems still have a LOT of work do in addressing their culture of institutionalized sexual predation.

Yeah Ricky, good job at that. trump is the biggest sexual predator (by his own word no less) out there and is backing a fucking pedophile! Ask Mark Foley and the former speaker of the house Dennis Hastert who was sexually harassing high school boys if this is a Democrat thing. Ricky is as dumb as they come. The next smart Republican will be the first.

Senate wingnut campaign staffers broke into house campaign computers and stole donor lists, valuable donor lists.

Of course this is all Obama and HRC's fault for not having gotten congressional okay to nuke capitol hill.

In more unbelievable shit wingnuts spew as news, the White House claims Drumpfuck was unaware the videos he retweeted from a right wing nut in England were from a right wing nut in England.

- Maybe, maybe not. To be honest, what *I* care about is for more people to be involved in the political process and VOTE so that these lamebrained ego-trippers can be sent back to their home state of irrelevancy.
- In the end, they live in the hell that they've made for themselves, and whatever reckoning occurs, they'll have brought it down upon their own heads. I can't wast much time thinking about that - I just want to do what I can to lessen the harm their spiteful and vindictive stupidity does to me, and to decent people and innocent critters in general.
- If my upcoming back operation is successful, maybe I'll even be able to "get out there" and get back to "activating", which would be nice!
