311 Like the time that DC Mayor Anthony Williams' aide David Howard used the word "niggardly" about 15 years ago when discussing District finances and suffered the predictable consequences.
Posted by: General Zod at April 20, 2016 10:29 AM (Bdeb0)
Oh hell, I remember that. And even after it was established what the word actually meant and that Howard was not by any stretch of the imagination making a racial slur, he still lost his job.
This is utter madness.

A reviewer in Philadelphia noted that viewers had laughed at the
painting, which he referred to as "Smiling Sharks", describing the scene
as "a naked negro lying in a boat while a school of sharks [are]
waltzing around him in the most ludicrous manner". Another contemporary
critic wrote that The Gulf Stream "displays a certain diffusion of interest seldom seen in the canvases of [Homer's] best manner."
Smiling sharks. Obviously didn't see the snipers...

I gave a copy of that print to my doc, who took early retirement in the face of Obamacare. The guy's a sailor, and familiar with Homer. He named the title of the print as I handed it to him.
At any rate, I explained that I thought the painting was a metaphor for the immediate circumstance, i.e., my tried-and-proven old salt of a doc handing over his practice to a group of kids. My role is that of the fish lying in the boat.

It's time to talk about the truecon right's focus on the aesthetic, because it can't be said often enough, and it cannot continue to be dismissed.
I'm not saying his aesthetic isn't off-putting. I'm saying it's entirely beside the point, because the purpose of the nominee is to accomplish concrete things in government, and wide swaths of the right have talked themselves into the ludicrous idea that because he doesn't tickle their aesthetic fancy, he won't actually do what he's claiming. It's a subtle trick, and a maddening one.
NeverTrumpism's foundational logical fallacy of equating rhetoric with action is an entirely aesthetic criticism. And the flaw in it is that our social customs of etiquette have, like so much else, become a weapon of the left. There is in fact no connection between conformity with the modern American aesthetic of behavior for public officials and any tangible virtue. It's quite the opposite, most especially in government.
You don't like the way Donald Trump talks about "your" issues. Full stop. That's all there is to #nevertrump-ism. This spins off into either not believing his sincerity or not believing he has a grasp of the issues.
This has blown my mind from the beginning because to hit him on his admittedly crude aesthetic is to attack him where he's bulletproof: his iconoclasm, his unique brand of bluster backed up with wealth. It's essentially American. And in spilling so much ink on it, ace and others basically abandoned the field on real policy specifics, which were his greatest weakness. I never understood it.
To call him vulgar is to engage in an aesthetic line of argument.
"vulgar (adj): lacking sophistication or good taste; unrefined."
You love the idea of ending illegal immigration, you just don't like the way he talks about it.
Who does he bully? Other politicians and media members. This should be red meat to the right. Who the fuck cares if he calls politicians and pundits names? Why have you adopted the left's tactic of demanding that everyone conform to a public aesthetic that you don't care if your own man abides by? That serves no purpose but to give cover to cheats and traitors like Obama, Boehner, Corker, Pelosi, Clinton, and their ilk?
60% of Republican women voted for Trump in NY last night. Keep running with the Democrat war on women playbook and the Democrat talking point that he's doomed in November because he's "too vulgar," just like he was doomed in the primary - it is, after all, so aesthetically stylish.
Trump's politics are not incoherent. Our society is incoherent. His message on immigration is simplistic because it has to be. The contradiction is in our current situation, not his proposed solution. To see the right jumping on him over this when he's made the most progress among the general population on this issue in my entire lifetime makes me tear my hair out. AND AGAIN: your defense of this criticism is "well he doesn't really mean it." And that doesn't hold water for me. Why would he say it, hundreds of times, and make enemies among the progressive establishment and literal, violent enemies in Mexico, if he didn't mean it. I find this criticism... incoherent.
You say "his entire history suggests he can't be trusted." This sentence is what made me write all of this. You're criticizing his public persona of bigly bombast and expecting that to stick to his private persona, the man that manages a multi-billion dollar real estate and media empire. His language varies: his behavior does not. This argument is mere oppo research, mere partisanship. Look past your loathing of the man at what he has done in the last 10 months. He is the only remaining candidate with a chance at 1237 delegates, and the clear leader in the pop vote and in states won. He's the standard bearer for the popular revolt against the GOP. If someone you find less distasteful had done it (Scott Walker, for instance, as CT mentioned this morning) you'd have sold all your possessions and gone to join him.
The hour is late. Let go of the leftist aesthetic, and the truecon one too. Focus on what you want out of this election and not how you want it. There is one else.

I would imagine most of them would back down in a second, because they've been steeped in conflict resolution their entire lives.
I found it funny and sad that the media, when covering Bernie's giant rallies in NYC, never emphasized that they were actually open air concerts with some politics thrown in. Get three or four popular bands to show up in a park on a nice afternoon and evening and you'll easily attract 20,000 people in a city the size of NYC. Will they stand in line to vote? maybe not....

Substance is obviously more important to me than style and, unfortunately, DJT does not bring substance to the voting booth and will get schlonged by HRC in the general. As the great Lord Vetinari mentioned, people don't want news, they want olds.

The stinger in this assertion is... Hillary brings even less substance. Of all the people to run against Donald Trump, she might be one of the weakest. She's going to run on her vagidentity politics play and the fact that she was the first lady in the 90s. She can't run on her record at State and she can't defend her campaign this year.

There have been more than a few analysts who have said that Bernie supporters will cross over for Trump in the election because of the similarities in trade policy between the two. Polls have shown 30% of Bernie voters have said they will not vote for Hillary.
Unlike Bill Clinton, Hillary gives off the vibe. and it is attractive to the "hate America " crowd. Bill won his election because of the perception(and I think it was real) that he actually likes America
Hillary, does not. She hid it well during the Clinton presidency until Bill handed her the Health Care legislation to try to work on, and her true opinion of this country began to show.
A lot of the left hates this country. But a lot of the Democrat party itself are not America hating communists, but instead, are older, blue collar, what the hell happened to my party voters. As she gets pulled more and more to the left trying to outdo Bernie, she is revealing more and more of that hatred.
What politician with any sense would say something as stupid as 'The guy that killed Trayvon Martin shouldn't have even had a gun".? Only a true communist leftist, left of Obama would say this.

Obama and Trump have far more in common than Trump and any Republican in the race, and electing him is a bizarre idea. We just are emerging from eight years of destructive economic policies, hazing our allies, kissing up to our enemies, emasculating our military, allowing the courts to dictate social mores and sending a whole generation into debt and unemployment, and you want to double down?!

She brings a whole team of experienced bureaucrat looters and a ton of cronies and hangers-on (Blumenthal, her scummy brothers, Weiner, etc.).
Trump is scary unpredictable, and whomever he chooses to be his closest advisors would have a lot of sway in how he behaves; however, the speed with which Hillary and co. would set up shop like they did at State (but cranked up to "11") is an truly nightmarish scenario.

You start strong in the bold paragraph, then you follow it up by asserting that Trump will do five things that he's promised to do the exact opposite of.
So I ask you: what gave you the idea that he's for all these leftist bogeymen? How is it that you transmogrified his positions into this "left of Elizabeth Warren" stance?
Could it be that you've used some kind of cultural shorthand to make judgements on him? Something like an asumption about a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular politician or political movement? An ess tettik, if you will?

And Trump not only is what actually he is, a shoot-from-the-hip blowhard, he is what the media makes him out to be, a raaaaacistbigoteeeevilfascist that only knuckle-draggers would support. The fact that the media lies is irrelevant. Image is greater than anything.

While there is in fact one shark visible above the waterline, the other dorsal fins seem to be curved in a decidedly dolphinesque manner.
I believe that shark may be surrounded by porpoises.

And yet he keeps winning, and is slowly eroding the left's opposition to his candidacy. His memetic power is stronger than the media's. The edifice of the newsmedia in America is crumbling, their legitimacy chipped away by the stream of lies and half-truths and ad-buys during the last two administrations. In allowing themselves to be used for the cheap "win the week's messaging war" bullshit they have diluted their power.
In the end, he will be seen as the lesser of two evils, whether it's Hillary and her technocratic oligarchy he runs against or Bernie's socialist utopia.

What's more, the display has prompted a barrage of attacks on social media, including one threat to 'burn down the display,' reports Students for Life.
The display had been approved by the university, and represented the 2,904 abortions per day in America.

Here's my take......
I voting for Trump if he wins. Im voting for Cruz if he wins. If the party nominate anybody else.... I will forever be staying at home.
Both guys are dicks.... but Im Ok with that, because I think... 1.) As bombastic an asshole as Trump is, he'll be doubly bombastic with Democrats if hes in office. 2.) Cruz is a sneaky little shit peeling of delegates using procedure and snookery to steal deleagtes from states that have settled election. Im confident that he"ll be even MORE sneaky using House and Senate rule to confound and flabbergast and outmaneuver Democrats and recalcitrant Republicans.
So... both side of the Trump/Cruz better be fucking sucking it up after the Convention and get with the damn program. For the first time in thirty years we have a shot at really electing an outsider and the only thing thats gonna mess that up is a bunch off butthurt Nevertrumps or a gaggle of butthurt Trumpoids sitting out the election on their sore asses.
Get it together people.

Please do not frame the opposition to Trump as some sort of mere petty squabble or trifling disagreement. It is not. It is a profound and principled objection. I think Trump would do great harm to the country were he to be elected. He would not only work with the establishment and thereby cement their legitimacy by making deals with them, he would not only be an unprincipled fraud simply doing whatever he wished without regard to any conviction, but he would inevitably grow the executive power even more than it is now and he would implicate Republicans and, by extension, the conservative movement more deeply into the large leviathan that we have now.
In my view, President Trump would be at least as bad as President Hillary, just in different ways. I'm not inclined to vote for either of them.

When I was very young, 'round these parts, "colored people" was still acceptable speech. (Think: NAACP.)
Of course, back then, even "n!gg3rs" was an ordinary, non-derogatory word.
Then we had to say "Negro." Then we had to use "African-American." Then "Blacks." And then it became "people of color"... although that was more inclusive.
So, full circle, Hillary confirms that it's okay that we're back to using "the coloreds" again?
Can I say that here?
Remind me to tell you someday about the story of the local road that was called "N!gg3rs' Gap," until they put up actual street signs in the '80s...!

I'll vote for Trump if he wins.
I'll vote for Cruz if he wins.
I'll for Ryamneysichio if he wins.
I'll vote for Pus-Oozing Mange-Ridden Hyena if he wins.
I'll vote for Bucket of Dog Vomit if he wins.
I know there is nothing I can do to stop Hillary from being POTUS. But the one pathetic vote I have will not be cast in favor of the Bitch of Benghazi, whether by pressing the D button, voting 3rd party, or abstaining.

I agree. When government flaunts its disobedience to law, there's not much the vote can accomplish.

Cruz this morning, she made all sorts of faces and eye-rolls. What a
twit.
Mika's behavior puzzles me. It is obviously approved, likely even encouraged. Unprofessional bordering on juvenile.

There seems to be a market for this kind of stuff, but nobody ever follows through on any of it. And having read Levin's book, the suggestions aren't right.
We're at a point in culture where it doesn't really matter what we do, the tide is against us. We have to hold our ground, raise kids right, do what is right, and wait for wind and tide.

Because the party would be nominating somebody that noone voted for. Thwarting and overturning primary elections is waaaay past somebodies dislike of a candidate.

Try to avoid stress though. Stress can --really make you sick. It can be a trigger for some auto-immune diseases. IOW--your body might be trying to tell you to take it easy.

He'll probably be happy today.
I'm sure he's out on the street in front of the Upper East Side Starbucks, high-fiving all the other right wing writers celebrating their big win last night.
The Upper East Side went decidedly for Kasich.
The GOP Establishment prevailed in the only New York City district that means anything. Embarrassment has been avoided and change has thoroughly been defeated. The forces of the Status Quo have prevailed.
Now, on to the convention.

Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman, the sources said.
There will also be changes to the $5 bill to depict civil rights era
leaders.
This is so sad.
Our money will become just as politicized, and as silly, as the various public school and post office names. Navy carrier named after farming labor activist Cesar Chavez? Sure why not? Let's put Margaret Sanger on the dime, Malcolm X on the quarter, and Harvey Milk on the $2 bill while we're at it.

Why? I thought we were trying to move beyond all of the racism of the past.
I think we should have one of those cute pictures of Obama and Curry exploring their bromance. Seems more appropriate for the times.

Liked the Daredevil series, so I decided to give Jessica Jones a try. (Partly because she got a mention in the DD series.) It's pretty good.
But why isn't Kilgrave purple? Inquiring old funny book fans want to know.
OOOps - too late. Ace and CBD have posts up.

BTH - Think about the past two weeks -- waaaay too much stress. But I do want to thank you for your clear-eyed reporting from CO delegations. You and tsrblke and a few others are the front lines. Please don't turn into the cannon fodder.

So is Andrew Klavan.
Mario Vargas Llosa is a Nobel prize winner who has written a zillion novels. He is very critical of the Left.

They have to cut jobs now, so they are targeting exactly what needs to be done... food services, cleaning, and maintenance.
