Good Morning Morons. Today is Thursday, February 11, 2016. On this day in 1812 Massachusetts governor Elbridge Gerry "gerrymandered" for the first time. And a new political piece of crap was born.

As expected; fraud and abuse in Obamacare to the tune of $750M.
The government granted up to $750 million in Obamacare tax credits to 500,000 persons who weren't eligible, many of whom may have been illegal immigrants, a Senate report says.
So what are they doing about it? Nothing.

Jay Carney-Barker reared his Aryan head yesterday, to announce the President is endorsing Hillary. Except he promised Democrats he won't endorse, so he had J C-B do it, instead of Josh Earnest. That way it wasn't official scumbaggery. It was casual.
Similarly, TFG will be a noisy, opinionated ex-President, regardless of whatever GWB-type promises he makes.

Good morning all.
From this day in 1944- at Anzio
Feb 11, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
Cold, rainy and windy. Generally quiet in morning. 179th moved through Br 1st Div for a try at Carroceto - supported by tanks. Took town but were forced back by heavy fire.
Heavy arty fire at night through entire sector. Finally quieted about midnight.
For those not familiar with events at Anzio, a cluster of buildings known as "The Factory", located at Carroceto (about 10 miles inland from Anzio) became the focal point for a series of attacks and counter attacks, a deadly game of seesaw between the Germans and the British 1st Division. The Brits suffered very heavy casualties in the early weeks of the campaign. Here, the 179th Infantry Regiment gives the British a brief respite in yet another failed attempt to take and hold "The Factory". The British held the left half of the front line at Anzio and the Americans the right.

Andrea has nice legs indeed. I don't listen to her or read her, but I think she may be referring to what some call "Conservatism Inc.". It seems the National Review gang decided Trump is not part of their brand and must be taken down. There is a sort of commercial brand some try to claim and profit from.
But the allegedly scholastic thinkers are perhaps not achieving change because their version does not attack problems head on muscle like a Trump can. The squawkers in echo chambers merely argue why the steamroller of commie "liberalism" is not scholastically acceptable. Some have done hard campaigning I guess, but usually are either isolated or marginalized. They have little national clout, even FOX is marginalized and not conservative at its roots, as we now know.
The comment from their fan base sidelines, how devastating such change is, but gleefully trash a guy like Trump that finally takes them on nationally and changes the argument, crashes their narrative, lands solid body blows, and a few on the chin. And they cheer each other on, who can be best at Trump bashing, with no real replacement for him, but protecting their own little world, which he is also crashing. Cruz has followed Trump the Boxer, but struggles on many fronts.
There is still need for the bloggers, but I think that is Andrea's point ... maybe. At least it is the spin I would use.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Andrea said.
The GOP will have controlled the house for 9 of the last 11 congresses and has accomplished nothing.
Conservatism for all practical matters is a useless theory that keeps congressmen in their sinecures and gives think tanks and members of the "concerned Conservstive commentariate industrial complex" something to do besides masterbate to pictures of FA Hayak and Ronald Reagan.

I hope that picture isn't a "she"; besides from the article:
Carraway was a school volunteer at Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary
School in Glenarden. He was also the director of the Glenarden Voice of

Global warming warning. Temperatures expected to set record breaking lows this weekend. One degree for the low.
But somehow a record-breaking low temperature will be evidence of the planet warming up. Shut up, they'll explain.

okay I have to take slight exception to this.
yeah it is kinda silly for the CA people to ban the use of the words "Founding Fathers" since (1) they really were mostly men and (2) referring to them as members of the male gender doesn't really offend anyone alive today.
But with the other examples I don't find them as egregious to be honest. What is wrong with referring to police officers as "police officers" instead of "policemen"? There are female police officers too.
The way I see it, there are two forms of "PC", the "mild" form and the "crazy" form. The mild form is just being respectful of those in your audience. Don't tell ethnic jokes in front of ethnic minorities, that kind of thing. The crazy form is straining to find any reason to be offended, which is stupid. Such as the whole "microaggressions" nonsense.
I think this example is closer to the mild form than the crazy form. I don't think anyone is saying that if you use the word "policeman" to describe police officers, that you are an evil sexist bigot h8r. Instead I think it is rather that when you are referring to a group of police officers, don't specifically single out only the male ones implicitly by the language used to describe them.

NJ wants to raise minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Check out this scenario. You're an employer with pay of $25 an hour. Your business is very slightly profitable. You pay 25 employees an average of $10 an hour. If you pay them ONLY $1.00 an hour more than you no longer can pay yourself.
Instead of working for free you close your doors and 25 people lose their jobs. How can politicians be so fucking stupid?

Tales of Woe from Hymietown:
I'm riding on the subway and a bedraggled bum gets on shopping cart in tow, muttering to himself. A few moments later, he shakes an almost empty bottle of water at me, spritzng me with what I prayed was just water with no biologically hazardous additives.
I said out loud "what the fuck?! and he half-heartedly said something like "yeah, what're you gonna do about it?!" The doors opened and then he shambled off at the next stop.
I was tempted to get up and kick the shit out of him but a) he's black and homeless and as such a protected species, and b) fucker could have been armed or jacked up on "drank."
I let it go and then boiled my face in molten selenium when I got home.

Conservatism isn't dead. It's a way of life rooted in human nature that all of us live by, even leftists.
What's dead is the weapons needed to espouse and fight for it. Namely, a political party, the media and most importantly the schools.
What's also dead are the brains of those who say conservatism is dead.

Unless you count your birthdays in the single digits, you have been around long enough to know that liberals' "fair and inclusive" strategy ALWAYS starts with a teensy-weensy "adjustment" to language, policies or standards. Adjust those standards so that five-foot-tall woman can become a firefighter, and everyone is happy! Take gender identification out of this one little place and all those placard-waving loons will just sit down and shut up and we'll all Just Get Along. Ditto for offering driver's-license handbooks in 72 different languages, etc., etc., etc.
It's the thin end of yet another wedge, CJ. If you think it stops with switching "Founding Fathers" to "Founders," I have some lakefront property in Death Valley you might like....

Constitutionalism, classical liberalism, the enlightenment and logic and reason.
Or to put it slightly differently is it in the constitution, does it advance the cause of Liberty at both a personnel or societal level, what would Locke, Burke, et al say about it, does it make motherfucking sense, such as does it make motherfucking sense to change foundational realities that the founding fathers were men to please SJWs.
Apparently that sort of things is in the quiver in your "philosophical" Arsenal or is it simple contrarianism?
And I'd appreciate it if you would simply ignore my comments, I do not wish to engage you on any subject or any level.

Proper English used to be that referring to men and women, or just a person of unknown sex ... man was the proper term, non gender specific. "Mankind" is the simplest example. Man shall not live by bread alone. But woman shall? Of course not. "Man" is all inclusive, per context.
Women get their own special term, whereas man can mean male, mixed, or female. Mankind, policeman, same deal. Or it was until the feminazis stepped in and demanded they not be "discriminated against" ... language must be changed per their demand. It's a power trip thing for them.

But all I am saying is that our response to this shouldn't be to toss out ALL of the so-called "PCness" and give ourselves a license to just be rude and crass and boorish. I don't think there is anything wrong with being respectful and mindful of your intended audience. Just because the left goes crazy thinking that every single word in the dictionary is some sort of microagression, doesn't mean that we should react by telling off-color jokes.

He threatened her in an attention-grabbing Tweet and, when she saw the
tweet she tossed a tea in his face (which he deserved) and then he
assaulted her.
As much as I agree he deserved the tea, it's kind of
too bad she did it because now I expect the school will have to take disciplinary action against her "assaulting" the brother if they don't want BLM et al to trash the campus.
Depressing.

Rick Snyder, the governor of Michigan, has just taken the George Bush route in responding to Hillary's charge that he poisoned children because he wanted to save money.
He didn't attack back.
Instead of calling Hillary a demented old fool and explaining that the Flint water problem was caused by (black) democrats in Flint who didn't want to deal with (black) democrats in Detroit.
So fucking stupid.
Any time some brain addled republican wants to "take the high road" and try to solve problems without pointing fingers, he should be hit up side the head with a baseball bat.

I think this example is closer to the mild form than the crazy form. I don't think anyone is saying that if you use the word "policeman" to describe police officers, that you are an evil sexist bigot h8r. Instead I think it is rather that when you are referring to a group of police officers, don't specifically single out only the male ones implicitly by the language used to describe them.

One thing leads to another. I guess you weren't around in the 1990's when "chairman" became "chair".
The move to gender neutral terms is part of the progressive play to eliminate gender as any sort of natural construct.
Instead of eliminating "policeman" why not refer to police women as "policewoman"?
You know why they won't do that? Because they believe that gender is a completely artificial societal construction that leads to unjust inequities.

Check out this scenario. You're an employer with pay of $25 an hour. Your business is very slightly profitable. You pay 25 employees an average of $10 an hour. If you pay them ONLY $1.00 an hour more than you no longer can pay yourself.
Instead of working for free you close your doors and 25 people lose their jobs. How can politicians be so fucking stupid?Posted by: ugg boots at February 11, 2016 07:36 AM (fbovC)Why should the politician care? He still has his phoney-baloney job. And there are still plenty of other businesses that he can get his bribes from. And if the business closes, so what? Where's the owner going to go? Out of state? The sucker will still be living in NJ, paying ever higher taxes because he's too poor to leave.If every politician in this country woke up each morning pissing their pants wondering if this is the day an armed mob would string them up, this would be a much better place.

"Tales of Woe from Hymietown: I'm riding on the subway and a bedraggled bum gets on shopping cart
in tow, muttering to himself. A few moments later, he shakes an almost
empty bottle of water at me, spritzng me with what I prayed was just
water with no biologically hazardous additives."
It's de Blasio, man, I'm telling you.
The guy dropped the groundhog. Total amateur move. Way out of his depth. You NEVER drop the groundhog.
So many ancient maledictions, evil eyes, hexes, and curses will now descend upon New York City that it's not even funny.
Hell, the groundhog _bit_ Mike Bloomberg. Did he drop it? Hell no! Whatever else you may say about Tiny Mike, at least he understands what's at stake. He held on to that big rodent for dear life.
The groundhog: do not drop it.

I remember when Dick Cheney sent a hurricane to New Orleans.
George Bush sat on his hands, holding back food and water while people turned to cannibalism, eating the rotting corpses after raping babies.
All because the people in New Orleans were black.
There were rumors that there was another side of the story, but it never came out. Bush promised to do better next time, so he admitted guilt.
Why are republicans so fucking evil?

"I used to have a pistol with interchangeable cylinders for .22 and .22
mag. I shot 1 box of the magnums and didn't buy anymore. They were
expensive, which defeats the reason for having a .22 to begin with, and
they were incredibly loud."
.357 Magnum has traditionally been more expensive than .38 Special, even though they too will shoot from the same weapon, but it is also considerably higher performing, and a more capable defense round. I am a cheapskate, but I don't want to pinch pennies if lives are on the line.
As for "incredibly loud", yeah, I would not be in a hurry to fire a magnum load, even a little .22 mag, in a confined hallway. Trying to keep what hearing I have left.
Note though that Mr. Goblin and his criminal pals don't like loud noises. First off, they don't like anything that attracts attention and gets cops called, and powerful muzzle reports do just that. Also, at a purely psychological level, a pumpkin sized fireball plus matching sound effects can be very intimidating.

Shakur's Wikipedia page is unintentionally hilarious, and not just because it goes to obvious lengths to avoid mentioning his crimes. Calling him "Dr." (he once tried to become an acupuncturist, apparently), and describing his "career". For some reason, BLM types regard Shakur as a political prisoner. Lord only knows why.

@153 I read the "Calaisienne" speech last night, and was struck with, in the odd context of the translation subtitles being set next to the time references like classicist's lineation or chapter-and-verse, how much the narrative read like something from the Book of Isaiah. Especially the closing lines, "They had only to ask..." Biblical. And not in the nice way, either.

I can't imagine anybody over the age of 8 being thrilled about getting one for Valentine's Day. So Morons - really, a card and flowers or dinner is just fine.

I support Ted Cruz for President. He needs, to as NGU said, clear up his opinion about this awful comment by a evangelical saying the Jews deserved the holocaust. However, I am not a "follower' of Ted Cruz. I am a follower of one individual- who never ran for political office and doesn't endorse political parties. i also follow my own selfish and, prideful feelings too often but that's another issue, because if we're going to talk about "followers" of candidates rather than supporters I will feel perfectly fine with talking about "followers" of Donald Trump

chocolate works for me!
But, I always give a gift of chocolates to my husband too, because he loves it as well. Or, we just buy one box for both of us.
As I was trying to reserve a dinner this week (not for Valentines Day, but for a much later date), I noticed all of the V-Day special menus. Not a fan of going out on V-Day. I'd rather be home on the couch snuggling and watching something together. And eating chocolate.

We already have one segment of our society experiencing the wonders of single-payer healthcare: military veterans. How's that working out? Do people really want "healthcare" like the VA provides?
Or how about Medicaid, another single-payer example. Poor people who want their head colds treated go to the ER. They don't want to walk or pay for a cab, so they call an ambulance instead. And hey, why not? They're not the ones paying the bills, so what difference does it make?
And how does anyone think single-payer would work in a first world nation that has wide-open borders and millions of third world poor pouring in every year?
Single-payer healthcare would only be "common f*cking sense" if we had a government that was efficient and competent and ethical, closed borders, and a population that was responsible and honorable. We don't have those things, so single-payer would not work.

In Europe it is Muslims assaulting women. Perhaps if feminists were not so successful in getting out their message that they do not want to be protected, there might be some men who were willing to protect them.
On the other hand, women have been the fastest growing demographic for new gun purchases so maybe that is what is going on.

we always try to replace it ourselves (see the Car Manual - online if you don't have the hard copy).
There are some that are tricky, but others that are easy to replace.
Otherwise, a small mechanic, or dealership (which will cost you and it won't happen quickly).
Or, if there is an mechanic at a small gas station, while you wait (they may have to order the part), or one hooked to a larger chain store.
The problem is, not wanting to drop your car off for a light.
Hi, I have a silly question.
One of my headlights is out, low beam only. Where's a good place to get that replaced?
(I'm assuming the days of me being able to look at it and plug in a new bulb are over. I haven't technically looked yet.) Also, I assume that my dealer entails a Revenant-level bear rape.
TIA

"Guys, this year get her what she really wants: a throne fashioned from the bones of her enemies..."
Were I objective in this, I'd see Edibles as hokey and New Age, but, a prominent woman member of our "Sportsman" club has a franchise, has spread the goods about a bit, and gained a lot of devoted customers. Gun club membership as multi-level marketing? It works.
When new prospectives do their two monthlies of introducing themselves around (damned hard for millennials, I've noticed), we always make a great deal of their profession and skills. It's like a game (the old Scout version was called "I'm going to Mars") where your membership roster represents what you'll have post-TEOTWAKI. It's fun to play, and yes, we have some lawyers. Good 'uns.

Saudi Arabia Police Demand Female Puppet Wear Veil
Police in Saudi Arabia "detained" the mascot of a pastry shop for not wearing a veil in public.
The puppet is part of a bakery's promotional campaign. "As part of a promotional campaign, a bakery in Riyadh had the man dress up in a costume depicting an unveiled Muppet-like woman in a blue gown."

208 I support Ted Cruz for President. He needs, to as NGU said, clear up his opinion about this awful comment by a evangelical saying the Jews deserved the holocaust. However, I am not a "follower' of Ted Cruz. I am a follower of one individual- who never ran for political office and doesn't endorse political parties. i also follow my own selfish and, prideful feelings too often but that's another issue, because if we're going to talk about "followers" of candidates rather than supporters I will feel perfectly fine with talking about "followers" of Donald Trump

Herein lies our dilemma. THEY DO BOTH. They do these inclusion bullshitteries and teach "social" history to diminish history itself. And then they ignore their own words to gain specious points. I refer you to Bernie Sanders a couple of nights ago in New Hampshire who said that America was built on "fairness." No. It. Wasn't.

Both Autozone and Advance Auto do free installation, or help in the parking lot. Nice custom, as the day of the gas-station mechanic are largely past. When wife first got her new 10-year-old Saab, she thought she'd just throw some new wiper blades on there. By a freak occurrence, their one grown-up senior guy managed to put one of those running splinters into the windshield. They happily, without threat or lawyering, popped for a new windshield. We gave them a little business to make up for that.
Personally I prefer the Advance, because the chicks at the counter, though sometimes a tad hefty and tatted-up, are hawt and speak CarGuy real good.
Lately I've noticed several traditional franchises (Midas?) advertising electrical service while-u-wait. Must be a hot market in that. Tesla? Fun to watch.

For some values of "put it in".
There are cars nowadays where doing a headlight bulb replacement requires extensive front end disassembly. Hours of labor.
Incredibly, there are some modern cars where doing a headlight bulb replacement requires a trip to a dealership to have the vehicle computers "recalibrated" afterwards, on the special machines which only are owned by the dealership.

258-that's actually tame for the mutawwa.
When I taught there in 2000, the mutawwa declared Pokemon "Haram" because one of the drawings looked vaguely similar to the Star of David, and they decided that the evil Jews (TM) were sneakily using a Japanese product to steal the hearts, minds and money of upright Saudi children. Thus, no Pokemon games, cards, cartoons, etc in the Kingdom.
My 2cd grade students were not having this. Actual quote from a Bangladeshi boy: "Pokemon isn't haram, Pokemon ROCKS!!!"
I was so proud.

The loophole is their feet are dry, that is to say, they are here on our soil. Remember the Administration's push to close GITMO and house the prisoners in the States? They'd then get 'Constitutional rights'.

Is Trump that asshole? I don't know. I do know that !Jeb, Rubio, Carson, Bloomberg, Gilmore and whomever are not.

He had to take off the whole front end / plastic bumper cover just to get to it.

But in housing GITMO prisoners in the states they, like los ilegales already here, get Constitutional protections. That's why many have fought so hard to keep those bastards at GITMO.

336 "Yellen soundbite made her sound like she had serious Aspergers and had memorized a script. I am sure that reassured investors to no end."
At one point last year, Yellen was giving a canned speech and suddenly she went completely off the rails. Disconcertingly LONG pauses. Repeating things she had just said. Word salad. Eventually some flunkies wised up and rushed to get her off the podium.
The Fed's official statement blamed "dehydration".
Sounds like her and Marco have the same operating system.

Democrats have been hoodwinking, outright lying, to centrist GOP voters for decades, appealing to their social instincts and using them to win elections, whereafter they farm those same people for taxes, encourage their daughters to get abortions, and move illegals into their neighborhoods.
It's hardly the end of the world, hardly idiocracy, for the GOP to finally return the favor with Trump, and trick centrist dems into voting for someone who will put a stake through their party's heart. And (AND!) it's not even being done by the party! The voters are doing it themselves! Trump is also normalizing extremist positions on issues which it was previously not even polite to discuss, creating room for congress to maneuver on border security, as one example.
Trent Lott's "Chris Christie made an in-kind donation to the democrat party when he attacked Rubio" comment makes me sick. No, idiot. Support for Rubio is an in-kind donation to the democrats.
The popular vote is a large and unwieldy tool with which to combat Washington's tentacles. The voters do not have much of a choice. *Should* they choose Cruz (yes) is not the question: can they choose Cruz (there is still a good chance this happens) in an environment where the republican brand is so damaged and the public attention span is too pathetically small to absorb a commercial, much less a serious discussion of government overreach in the teeth of "Black Lives Matter!"

Oh, man, from Vic's link:
At least a dozen email accounts handled the "top secret" intelligence
that was found on Hillary Clinton's server....
The official said the accounts include not only
Clinton's but those of top aides --- including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin,
Jake Sullivan and Philippe Reines --- as well as State Department Under
Secretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy and others. There is no
public evidence they were authorized to receive the intelligence some of
which was beyond Top Secret."
Unless I've missed something, this doesn't indicate whether the aides were using the Hillary email server accounts themselves, or if they were using their State accounts to email these docs to Hillary's private account (on her server). I guess it would be nice to know if they are the sources of said top secret info, and how they obtained it, or if they had assistance at the source agencies (e.g. a CIA doc that was illegally made available to, say, Huma or Cheryl) so that there are others outside of State also ensnared it this crime.
Regardless, I like that they've caught at least one of them lying in his testimony. Too bad Huma was granted a private session to testify...

-Kennedy directed HRC's lawyers to delete incriminating emails from her server.
- He provided false and misleading testomony to the Benghazi committee.
-He was instrumental in having the Clinton email system setup and approved
- Who controls State's FOIA process? Hint: Initials are Patrick Kennedy
-Kennedy himself use a Clinton.com email address.

Trump promises to "Make America Great Again," sprinted to the right to plant the border security flag, took the gun out of the media's hands and pointed it back at them, and is systematically and in full view of the public dismantling the GOPe power structure.

OK, so what is the real reason.
Propping up overexposed central banks and hedge funds.
It's an incentive to go for the supposedly higher yield.
And anyone that has been around here for long knows that I am not one for conspiracies, but negative interest rates seem to never have the effect proponents claim. Curious that.

I have been thinking recently that Ethiopia does not get enough opportunity to participate in this process. The Ethiopians have been dealing with Muslims for over a thousand years and they have prevailed. I am certain that the Ethiopians would be happy to take a contract to house all the prisoners who are left in Gitmo. I understand that the original reason that the prisoners were not sent to Johnson Island in the Pacific was that government lawyers did not want to make the trip. I assume that by now, the prisoners have told all the information they are going to tell and even if they knew more, it is likely to be pretty outdated.

381 Not much news on this in the main stream right now, but keep an eye on Patrick Kennedy - State Department Undersecretary of Management. If his name starts coming up broadly, Hillary will be close to the end.
- Kennedy is going to be indicted and will likely go to jail
-Kennedy directed HRC's lawyers to delete incriminating emails from her server.
- He provided false and misleading testomony to the Benghazi committee.
-He was instrumental in having the Clinton email system setup and approved
- Who controls State's FOIA process? Hint: Initials are Patrick Kennedy
-Kennedy himself use a Clinton.com email address.

Which absolutely surprises me, because he is a career officer, not an appointee-or at least, he took the Foreign Service exam and passed it, went through the crap of junior officer, etc, as well as the training in security procedures, and handling of classified material. There is no way he can possibly say that using that server was okay. So now I wonder what Hillary has on him, that he was okay with any of this.

So I'm not sure what to make of Rush Limbaugh these days. I'm still dealing with the Rubio thing and now he turns around and says this yesterday:
“Donald Trump has the exact coalition the Republican Party, to a man, has told me they need to win, that they need to thrive,” Limbaugh said. “And now they’re reduced to bashing it by virtue of bashing Trump. And now they’re reduced to bashing it by virtue of bashing Cruz. The two people who are showing the Republican Party all they had to do all these past seven years, but they didn’t. They purposely, strategically, tactically refused to push back, refused to make a spectacle of stopping Obama, and they have themselves to blame for this predicament.”
Which granted has been noted here on more than one occasion, but...I can't square this with the Rubio boosting. He's all over the damn map these days.

If you've been following this race even remotely I would think it would be obvious. Rubio just had a disastrous debate performance and it cost him dearly in NH, possibly well beyond that.
Trump called Cruz a pussy and not only did it not hurt him, he actually went up.
I don't know why Trump fans would even try and deny what is happening. They have a candidate who appears to be beyond conventional rules and his words and actions don't hurt him and he is only getting stronger.

"Poor people who want their head colds treated go to the ER. They don't want to walk or pay for a cab, so they call an ambulance instead. And hey, why not? They're not the ones paying the bills, so what difference does it make? "
Our County has passed legislation allowing the billing of individuals for ambulance service.
Till now, it was included in your Property and Income taxes as an available service with no additional cost.
But, free ambulance rides to the ER for a head cold began to strain the system.
On the downside, if your healthcare insurance refuses to pay it, the individual will not be charged for the amount.
So in effect, nothing has changed to alter citizen behavior, simply a mechanism to recoup cost from the insurance company.

It's Shrillery's Turn, you know. She has the nomination locked up already thanks to the Party Machine, no matter how many primaries Crazy Uncle Bernie wins. I suspect knowing she's The One has a lot to do with her cheeriness after getting stomped in NH.

One thing the Democrats do very well: no matter how dismal, corrupt, incompetent or un-American their candidate turns out to be, they reliably trot off to the polls to vote for him or her.
It's Shrillery's Turn, you know. She has the nomination locked up already thanks to the Party Machine, no matter how many primaries Crazy Uncle Bernie wins. I suspect knowing she's The One has a lot to do with her cheeriness after getting stomped in NH.

Sorry for making it personal at the end there Max, that was uncalled for. And probably projection.
I'm very frustrated because I think that Trump's abilities as a communicator (don't scoff) and his high media profile, make him a special case as far as electability. And it's a fucking disaster that we couldn't find someone to beat Obama. I don't care who beats them, the global socialists need to lose. Like many others here, I'd love to see the GOPe bleed out first, too.
The frustration comes from watching him speak and basically sound like he has a fucking speech impediment. That doesn't actually seem to hurt his core support, but what about broader support...
I think he's learning, and obviously there's plenty of time til November. But I really don't like seeing the obstinance of horde members who claim they'll never ever vote for him, ever.
We all sucked shit and voted for Mitt. What if Donald is telling the truth? Isn't it important we vote for him?

phoenixgirl: ...trump "repeated" the word....i'm sure he enjoyed "repeating" the word....but i wouldn't say trump called him a pussy.....and i wouldn't call the word pussy profane........
Unless you're talking about cats, it's a cussword. Profane? Well, in common parlance, "profane" is generic for cusswords. Trump did call Cruz that by repeating it. It's the old "saying by not saying" ploy. He could have just left it alone, but he made a big deal out of repeating it.
Just like he mouthed the f' word and then complained when Fox bleeped it making it seem like he said it. He said it, just like I just did.
It's one thing I really detest about the foulmouth. I don't know if he is really just a guttermouth, or thinks it gives him some kind of common-man appeal, but it's distasteful.
But I'm very old school, and think people should be ladies and gentlemen in speech, especially in public and especially if you're looking for votes, much less when you're talking about your political opponents. I don't use such language myself. That's why I think Trump's an asshole.

A platitude, a great wall of Trump (we'll pay for it by letting Nike put billboards up on both sides!), make fun of the wimmin bleeding, talk about schlongs, throw someone outside coat-less, call someone a pussy. That get's you undying support from folks.
Great time to be alive.
Trumps greatest feat so far is making people believe he's conservative or has any principles.
Donate to the Clintons in exchange for favors if you Trump? Ah..just a businessman doing businessman-ish stuff.
Donate to the Clintons in exhange for favors if you're a Goldman Sachs executive? EEEEVVVVEERRRYYYONNNNEEEE should go to jail!!!

An employee at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren stabbed by someone visiting the plant Wednesday.
The 52-year-old victim was hospitalized and suspect arrested by police but the valet service supervisor with a valid CPL who pulled his gun to stop the attack, says he was fired.
The lady kept saying Im dying, someone help and it was just natural reaction, said Didarul Sarder, SP+ Valet Supervisor. I just see this lady getting stabbed. I only had like half a second to think and I un-holstered my firearm and pointed it at her to drop the knife.
Another case of liberalism run wild

The incident began when an IDF unit spotted a group of Arabs hurling rocks at Israeli traffic on Route 60. Soldiers fired live rounds, aiming at the legs of suspects, and striking one of them, an army spokeswoman said.

Further, that Kasich, Christie, and Rubio while in positions of elected government power all cozied up to Obama for spoils and dare not mention this fact.

Totally, totally, it wasn't a vote *for* Mitt.
But what if Trump is telling the truth?
And, even if he's lying, what if he replaced global socialist goons in every layer of the federal government with people who will be 50% transparent and 50% competent?
Is that not worth voting for?
I find the full-bore anti-trumpism mystifying. I've always thought he was an obnoxious blowhard. But if you agree with Buckley's "phone book > harvard faculty" quote, and if you think Trump looks like what any random asshole would look like if he stumbled into 10 billion dollars... isn't that exactly the breath of fresh air the country needs?
With full knowledge of the risks a Trump presidency entails (foreign policy cluelessness coupled with ego, refusal by the bureaucracy to enforce his changes, a pissed off and uncooperative congress, a media looking to trip him up, the immediate detonation of the debt bomb, etc etc) isn't the chance that someone not Of The Washington Body could actually assume the role of president worth those risks?
And, not to self-aggrandize, I'm really asking, not telling.

"I can change to anything I want" ... Trump
Greta had just asked him if he is changing his bad language, as she was quoting a Trump fan query.
"As I get closer to the goal it's going to get different". He is specifically talking about the language and the presidential persona a fan wanted from him. But so many claim that means ... "see, proof he will change all his policy". Then they claim "see, Trump fans are so blind and stupid, they will let him change to anything"
Those attacks are such dishonest crap. If Trump is so bad, why does it such grasping at straws to attack him? There is little talk of the huge inspired crowds, but MSM/FOX will report on any bad word all day long.
There clearly is concern he may not do some of his biggest promises, followers are not blind. But heading the right direction is a big start. There is also concern the other practiced liars will sell us out like they always have. So what is the best risk? Trump has changed the dialogue.

"see, proof he will change all his policy". Then they claim "see, Trump fans are so blind and stupid, they will let him change to anything"
Those attacks are such dishonest crap. If Trump is so bad, why does it such grasping at straws to attack him? There is little talk of the huge inspired crowds, but MSM/FOX will report on any bad word all day long.
There clearly is concern he may not do some of his biggest promises, followers are not blind. But heading the right direction is a big start. There is also concern the other practiced liars will sell us out like they always have. So what is the best risk? Trump has changed the dialogue.

>>What Trump's detractors fail to understand is that there may well be a good reason for that. Simply deriding his supporters as a bunch of stoopid mouth-breathers could turn out to be a major case of Missing the Point.
Everybody has heard The Point a bazillion times. What some Trump supporters fail to understand is that some of us understand The Point and we disagree with the analysis. It doesn't make us Trump haters or even people who won't vote for Trump if he becomes the nominee.
But The Point of Trump really isn't all that complex. Primal screams rarely are.

They poured acid on the dead kids face and genitals to obscure ID. Genitals? ID? Sounds like pure psycho sexual sadism. They were getting money in prison but then it was limited to 5 bucks a week which is a hell of a lot of money for the 20s.

Re: Valentine's Day. Once, when I was in my early 20's, I showed up at a boyfriend's house with a small gift for him. He loved cashews so I got him a Buddy Squirrel box of cashews - I didn't expect either of us to spend big bucks, but I expected him to at least remember to get me something.
He hadn't remembered and looked totally panicked when I handed him his gift. He said, "Uh, er, I got something for you too" and went into his tool shed out back and disappeared for 10 minutes. He came back with a box of tools - a hammer, a regular and Phillips screwdriver, a wrench, nails, etc. All dusty. He had a zillion tools so it was pretty obvious he had just tossed tools in a box. I lol'ed.
And I still have and use those tools.

At this point what is readily seen about Trump is that he is a much better politician than the opposition.
For one thing, he's been great at running in Iowa and New Hampshire without spending any money on GOTV or other traditional "ground game" stuff. He is counting on enthusiasm.
For another thing he is absolutely fantastic about dealing with petty crap from others. Do you think for even a minute he would stand for being blamed for the Flint debacle were he in Rick Snyder's position (that idiot)? NFW.
The substance of his policies matter less in the election at this point than his political skills.

I don't see Trump as either Democrat or Republican. I see him as businessman and CEO who would start to run USA, Inc as a business.
Obviously the country is hemmoraging money. The way to stop that is to stop the outflow of untaxed dollars from the country. Put tens of millions of Americans back to work. Severely curtail immigration of those who would immediately be a drain on finances or who are replacing American workers In technology. Basic, sound financial practices. Long overdue, long ignored.
I prefer Cruz, but my friends, you have nothing to fear with Donald Trump in the White House.

That is actually a rational argument in favor of voting for Trump. I am still not convinced but it is more persuasive than a lot of the Trumpbot assholes who casually toss around insults at anybody who slights their version of the Messiah.
One of the interesting possibilities of a Trump presidency might well be his handling of a reluctant bureaucracy. Obama has already established the precedent of an unaccountable President ruling by decree and ignoring Congress and the courts.
Trump could fire an entire department full of rebellious bureaucrats and contract out the work to a private company. Like Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers, he probably would not have to do it more than once to get enthusiastic compliance from the rest of the government workers.

However, I doubt my vote will count for much by the time my state's primary rolls around.
We'll see.
I don't mind The Donald as the best of the rest.
But, he is unlikely to clean house like Cruz would.
Most of his contacts and crew he brings in are likely to be New York businessmen- i.e.. hardcore liberals.
Still we may get the fence and a stop to illegals.
A better deal than we'll get from Jeb!, Rubio, or Kasich.

I find it somewhat aggravating myself. But the country is angry - which I understand. The GOP has left an opening for this type of populist revolt. Its up to Cruz to make his case. I think he is doing it. Whether he breaks through or not remains to be seen. I don't think he should be underestimated.

The normal people have mainly moved away by now. In Retrospect, I think that Roberti-Roos was the tipping point where California was too far down the slippery slope to save.

Regarding the conventional wisdom that Bernie cant win the black vote . .
Isn't that implicitly racist ?
It's admitting (sotto voce) that blacks would love to vote for a black man (Obama), they will settle for a white woman (Hillary!) but aint no way they're going to vote for a Jew.
What policy position would make Hillary an obvious preference for black Americans ??

That's my sincere hope if he is lucky enough to become President. My fear is that his lack of knowledge of how government works will allow those entrenched bureaucrats to use their knowledge to overcome any of his attempts. At least we may get an internal war necessary to start the process.

Posted by: naturalfake at February 11, 2016 10:13 AM (0cMkb)
Agree. I think he will keep his word and try to rid the nation of the illegals and refugees issue. Which is going to destroy the nation.
So we settle with Single Payer Healthcare, probably as a result.
I still think Cruz would do both, repeal right away, and deal with the illegals/refugees.

Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 11, 2016 10:14 AM (qCMvj)
I believe what he's outlined is a competitive open market system for regular insurance, and subsidy for those with pre-existing, chronic, and polychronic conditions. This is a compromise but it's more than acceptable to rank and file progressives, and it would mean repealing obamacare.
Of course, that could just be me parsing his broken english, based on an interview I can't find right now, into what I'd like him to say.
And based on this chart owy.mn/1muIp29 it's not a silver bullet. But regulatory compliance drives a shitload of costs in healthcare right now, and the current solution is tossing every questionable case onto Medicare - not sustainable. Lopping off regulatory enforcement and compliance departments would slash costs like whoa dude. And despite the hypnotism that dems have done on premium costs, a real effect on premiums would turn a fat swath of millenials red.

Considering that the term "black Americans," rather than bringing to mind a Ben Carson or a Clarence Thomas, suggests an indolent, insolent, racist, angry thug, she's already their perfect candidate.

I think the Democrat race is pretty interesting. Hillary (even if she isn't in prison) and Bernie are both losers, and Democrats know it. What the hell are they going to do, having watched the Progressive era basically wipe out Democrats at the state level, and having lost the Congress (the House by a huge majority), and now the WH?
Only the Propaganda Press is keeping the illusion of a national party alive. I myself hope they crash and burn very soon, and then I look forward to Democrats turning on the Progressives with a vengeance.

I absolutely get the Let It Burn position. But it is already burning and nothing is going to stop it before a lot of wealth and prosperity is destroyed. Good chance of more war and instability is also on tap. I just question if Trump is the guy I want leading through the burning and rebuilding process.
Cruz has never been my favorite. He just rubs me the wrong way despite the fact that I agree with most of his policies. And while he may have instances of straying he is a pretty reliable conservative voice.
I'd vote for Trump if he is the nominee but not with a ton of enthusiasm or confidence. I'd rather see Cruz get the nod and given the disarray on the left I think this is an election he could win.

And once more, that is why the Republican Congress should put together a slavery reparations bill for a lottery to give away federal land in 40 acre lots to every black family in America. Include the oil fields in ANWR. Include the low sulfur coal in Staircase-Escalante that Bill Clinton locked up.
Send the bill to Obama's desk and dare him to veto it as part of his legacy. Transfer millions of acres of federal government land into the private sector. Fire everybody at the BLM because there will be no need for them any more. Let ranchers negotiate leases with private individuals instead of with the government.

Um, nope, I don't see any. I do see some "Yes we can" and some change (prolly left over from that pizza the other night)...
...I have what looks like some "unexpectedly" left, if that'll help.

I've become pretty philosophical about the political process overall (which, I suppose) is another way of saying that I don't agree with anyone) but, and not to wax spiritual or anything, biblically we find that after the people petitioned G-d for a king, the implication is that we wind up with the leaders we deserve.
I think that looking back over the last 20 odd years at least, it would be very hard to argue with that.

"I (Ace) am liveblogging 50 Shades of Gray in the thread below the ONT..."
Ace feels a need to let us know it's him on his own blog.
The time is ripe for a takeover. The ACEe has run this show long enough.
We need to WIN AGAIN. We need MORNING CONTENT.

I nominate Amy Schumer! She's so funny, and almost hot. And wouldn't it be fun to see Vic's links pasted without attribution in a mid-morning post?

And once more, that is why the Republican Congress should put together a slavery reparations bill for a lottery to give away federal land in 40 acre lots to every black family in America. Include the oil fields in ANWR. Include the low sulfur coal in Staircase-Escalante that Bill Clinton locked up.
Send the bill to Obama's desk and dare him to veto it as part of his legacy. Transfer millions of acres of federal government land into the private sector. Fire everybody at the BLM because there will be no need for them any more. Let ranchers negotiate leases with private individuals instead of with the government.

Yes, but I doubt that your plan would get a lot of takers. I also don't see it getting a lot of support in Congress and it would definitely be vetoed by Obama.
With my plan, we get a death match fight between the green and black parts of the Democrat coalition and if it passes, millions of black landowners will get the pleasure of being screwed with by the bureaucrats from the EPA which might cause them to question their unthinking support for the federal government.

Because American Blacks may be deluded about politics, but they aren't stupid.
An old friend did a lot of business in Africa in the 1980s. He was on a plane leaving some shithole one day and sat down next to an American woman (Black) who was also doing business. He had been shaken down for his electric shaver by the customs official (not uncommon) and was in a pissy mood. She too had been extorted out of something, and they commiserated.
As they taxied away from the terminal, the woman looked at him and said, "Thank God for slavery."

An interesting notion about how media works in this country today, given the state of "advanced technology" and all, is that news from Mexico, where vast areas of that country are out of the control of their government and where violence is worse than in Iraq, in this country, its neighbor, we know relatively little about this.

A LOT has changed over the last four years, but much of it is papered over and ignored. Europe is burning, Middle East North Africa is a mess, Obama gave Iran the path to the bomb and $150B that Kerry said will partly fund terrorism, and the stock market is showing signs that seven years of zero interest and $4T QE are only blowing more bubbles and allow the government to spend us even deeper into financial "hell".
The globalists don't mind, it may be part of the Soros style plan to break down the Western powers that be. We need an America First president that believes western values are worth fighting for. This is why I think Trump the builder is the best choice, and he has said the deeper things along those lines, things that resonate with Americans.
Populism is not always wrong. I'll take a young no executive worldly experience Cruz, but I think the dire straits and stormy seas we are in require a stronger man at the helm. The bully pulpit would be strong, extra-constitutional measures not required. If the DOW keeps dropping that seems to favor Trump. Same with unrest and jihadists in Europe and Trump's Muslim pause.
Trump or Cruz ... but the Orwellian hatefest over Trump at times would only give us Hillary. Too bad Walker didn't have the whole package ... but he just wasn't ready, and was bloodied from the union wars against him I guess. Movin' on.

With full knowledge of the risks a Trump presidency
entails (foreign policy cluelessness coupled with ego, refusal by the
bureaucracy to enforce his changes, a pissed off and uncooperative
congress, a media looking to trip him up, the immediate detonation of
the debt bomb, etc etc) isn't the chance that someone not Of The
Washington Body could actually assume the role of president worth those
risks?
Posted by: Ghost of kari - WAR at February 11, 2016 09:57 AM (xuouz)
Except in his disagreement with the uniparty over immigration and the refugee program, I really don't see Trump as an outsider. He and our vote selling "representatives" are the two faces of Janus. Both are responsible for the get along, go along kleptocracy that is robbing us blind and destroying our Republic.
THAT is the system that Trump is comfortable with and, even now, he turns to that system for solutions. From his praising of light rail to his insistence that he will make sure everyone will have health insurance (he doesn't say how but I feel very comfortable saying that it would involve bigger government) to praise of, and insistence that he will make deals with,the very people that are the problem in Washington; nothing Trump has said other than his determination to build the wall leads me to think that he is in anyway inclined to "clean house" like his supporters believe he will.

From his praising of light rail to his insistence that he will make sure everyone will have health insurance (he doesn't say how but I feel very comfortable saying that it would involve bigger government) to praise of, and insistence that he will make deals with,the very people that are the problem in Washington; nothing Trump has said other than his determination to build the wall leads me to think that he is in anyway inclined to "clean house" like his supporters believe he will.

Reparations??? Every time I hear that I want to scream. Blacks have been given reparations ever since the end of the civil war. And in 1965 LBJ started the welfare program and has been giving them free shit for over 50 years. I think it is about time they started paying me some damn reparations.

You'll note, "the Americans" created the Great Depression. Then, supposedly, it just spread to Britain and the Continent. You know, like Spanish flu. Because 1920's Europe was such a model of financial stability. Now there's an Englishman.
I've said for decades now, there was no "US depression." The world was in a depression, just about from the end of WWI, and the US finally got drawn into it.

The implication of this is that capitalism is still a predominant factor in western economics. That's BS. Hell, it doesn't really even predominate in this country anymore. It is way, way, way over-regulated to be considered capitalism, and what little apparent capitalism that does still exist is corrupted by the marriage of the mega-capitalists and government - crony-capitalism, or as we used to say in the old days - corruption.
Free market capitalism, if allowed to thrive, would solve the problems that we have.

Vic, of course. I mean there was no "Hoover" depression. The down-cycle that got out of control (or "in control," as we might see it) was not the result of internal economic factors (it's always blamed on margin plays), but of the downward drag of the rest of the world's dismal financial conditions.

You might note in my proposal I do not say anything about a moral debt owed by people who never owned slaves to people who were never slaves.
My goal is to reduce the scope of the federal government by greatly reducing the amount of land it controls and to put that land and the resources it contains into the private sector.
The fact that I propose using one of the Democrats' grievance tropes to make that happen ought to amuse you as a soft of political Aikido where the strength of an opponent is used against him. While I don't care about the moral arguments of slavery reparations, the most loyal block in the Democrat coalition cares about them a lot.
Another block in the Democrat coalition, the environmentalist greens finds the idea of transferring millions of acres of land out of direct government control to be abhorrent. Another block in the Democrat coalition, the communists, are horrified at the idea of millions of black people suddenly becoming property owners and thus sharing a whole lot of interests with the middle class.
I view this sort of Slavery Reparations bill as an invitation to the various parts of the Democratic coalition to fight against each other or, more likely, to gang up and defeat the Blacks. Could that be the thing that finally breaks Blacks from their slavish devotion to the Democratic Party? I don't know. Maybe. Before LBJ, most Blacks voted Republican when they could vote. Even if it does not achieve every goal, it will disrupt the Democrats and cause contention among their ranks.
