Overnight Open Thread (15 Apr 2016)
Super PACs
You know, this discussion on Super PACs would be a lot better if it didn't focus so much on GOP donors. So where are all the uber rich liberals like Silicon Valley folks and Hollywood weirdos? Plus, where's the discussion of union donations where in 2012, they donated over $141 million mostly to Democrats. Rooney Rule Sure, why not? The world is becoming a more dangerous place so let's focus on gender and skin color vice you know, actual requirements for the job. Recipe for success right? Pentagon proposal on 'Rooney Rule' for minority officers raising internal concerns. One-Liners: After The KillThe firm pulled 61,357,800 pounds of raw materials out of discarded devices, including 2,204 pounds worth of gold. Cult of Mac consulted the day's metal prices and found that the gold alone was worth $40 million. In addition, the company pulled out 3 million pounds of copper (worth $6.4 million) and 4.5 million pounds of aluminum ($3.2 million).Naked 3D Fitness Tracker

I. Just. Want. Hillary. Defeated.
But no. If there's one thing that's core to the conservative mindset these days, it's that it's so much more fun to bash each other, mess everything up, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and then feel like victims. I'm ready to give up even though something in me just won't let myself do it.*

He proved it was possible to lose more of his mind than he already had and called the Horde racist for not completely renouncing Trump over something *that hadn't actually happened*.
I always respected him and thought his non-attorney-hating posts were very worthwhile. It makes me sad to see him completely lose it, especially over something that a 2 day wait would have proved was a false story.

For the record AmishDude is banned but not ban-banned. Which means he can come back if he promises to refrain from any more anti-Trump bad behavior. However he admitted himself that he probably couldn't contain himself while the election is going on so he's keeping his distance from the blog.

New Media... ie the Blogs and websites had a golden opportunity this election cycle to become 'Press'....
If they had reported News, and not given overblown opinions.... if they had stayed even partially neutral....
They could have given themselves a big boost into becoming a real alternative to the MSM...
Instead... they have chosen sides... and the sites have become pretty nasty.... not talking issues but constantly impugning character AND veracity.... and sometimes sanity of the candidates...
And this is sites on ALL sides.... from Drudge to Breitbart to here....
Missed opportunity IMO....

Well a Trump thread is sort of like putting a 'Next Bar Fight Starts in 15 Minutes' sign out in front of your establishment. It attracts a certain type of crowd.
But then NOT having a Trump thread also draws complaints. And ultimately means that you're self-censoring on your own damn blog because certain commenters can't behave themselves and/or just enjoy bar fights.

I wouldn't say they're painful to me, but I definitely don't enjoy them. They're just there, a fact of life as much as a rising tide that you realize too late might actually be a tsunami. You have to decide whether to become passive or act, all the while unsure whether either will make a difference.
Whatever problems flame fights might cause, there really aren't that many other options out there. A lot of websites have been closing their comments lately, and the ones that haven't have killing the ability to be truly anonymous--your actual info is on the site somewhere.
There also really aren't that many places with high caliber political debate out there.

The supporters aren't the problem. The problem is a GOPe which has created that constituency. Cruz has been courting the #nevertrump crowd, which I suppose he does have to do eventually, but ... Trump's still in the race. Which means his supporters, and the people who are still T-curious like I was, also still exist in races Cruz still has to win.
Cruz's supporters can't be assholes to Trump's. And I suspect a lot of the people who are being assholes aren't even Cruz's supporters, really, but are butthurt ex-Rubio supporters lashing out

Yes, you will be prosecuted under US Military Law IF the Military does not condone and back up your decision.
Which comes down to who the Commander in Chief is...
When the Vincennes shot down the Iranian Airliner... Bush and his Pentagon backed up the military.... there were no charges...
HOWEVER... there have been numerous times where Shoot / no Shoot situations have been prosecuted in the Army under Obama...

Compared to the rest of the societal experimentation (bathrooms, anyone?), letting a Mansonite free when she's spent nearly 50 years in prison for something she did when she was 19 isn't that big of a worry for me.

Interesting story behind that.
The Rose Byrd coart declared the death penalty to be in violation of the California constitution. The people of California in the '70's responded by adding Section 26 of Article I (the state Declaration of Rights) that explicitly said that the death penalty didn't violate anyone's rights.
When Rose Byrd and two other hippies were up for retention in 1986, they were kicked out of office when the Iron Duke won re-election.
To this day, California is the only state that has the death penalty protected under their Bill/Declaration of Rights...

We care about the Manson crew (more than about the crew who killed, say, Channon Christian) because they gave a lot of liberal Californians the sads. They were white hippies; they were one of them. If we are honest with ourselves we will admit this.

He did but by that time it was pretty much over anyway. He believed that was the only way to keep the league alive, but it was too late. I doubt he was right; competing with the NFL is a bad move, but it wasn't working in the spring, either.
What's interesting about watching that one and the show about the ABA was how much those alternate leagues influenced the main leagues they competed against. The XFL did the same thing, actually.

I'm not sure. I have doubts about ALL of them. I don't just mean that they're killers, but, that there is some doubt about their role/s in The Family. "Followers"? "Dupes"? Maybe not. If Manson has to carry the not-to-be-released thing, they all should too. There's enough hinky stuff about how that bunch worked in practice, rather than the prosecution's story, to consider them all Manson level gulity.

To revisit the gory details...I think Leslie Van Houten was in on the La Bianca murders, not the Sharon Tate murders a few days before.
She held down Mrs. LaBianca while she was stabbed. Maybe stabbed herself and carved some words, I'm not clear on that.
Whatever. I want to hear a clear renunciation of her former violence and alliance w/ C Manson before she's released.
Now the question is what happens to someone who has been imprisoned for over 40 yrs? She has no skills to survive on the outside, she's maybe 66?
Does she have any family (outside of the Manson nuts) who will support her when she's released?

Yep. It was pretty bad. The LaBianca killings may have been a cover for the Tate ones... not the vaunted race war inspiring thing. Just dirty dealings dressed up as something else. Van Houten did the LaBianca one, but not Cielo Drive. It's interesting that Van Houten demanded that Manson didn't really have the control over her that constituted the narrative. There were others that stated some interesting shit about the family that was not followed up. They were all nuts and all doing their own shit. Manson liked to think he was some sort of demi god, but they were all using each other. Very possibly, anyway. Will never get the answers now.

I've just about had it ya'll with the prolapsing. You know Hillary's type; she has a thing for the Lena Dunham type, you know fat, sloppy, and malodorous. Well, I made the mistake of letting her see that video of Lena sitting on the commode naked eating cake and it turned Hillz on so much, she dropped the pantsuit and the Depends.
She started furiously friggin' herself, and then in a little bit, she hollered, "Huma, get in her quick and tweak my nipples, I think I'm gonna squirt!".
Well she squirted all right. My God. Ever seen that video of an elephant giving birth?
There was a god-awful trumpeting racket that would've scared a bulldog off a meat wagon, and gush of fluid and a mass of something nasty that popped out.
Well, she had done squirted out her vagina, inside out, with the uterus hanging off the end, pissed out her bladder and half her kidneys following, not to mention shitting out her rectum and over half her colon.
It was all hanging out in the most god awful and foul smelling mess you've ever seen. I called the house doctor to come quick, we've got a medical emergency. He said hell no, we don't pay him enough so I was on my own and had to just cram it all back in best as I could.
We've tried to get her fixed. Everything looks sort of gangrenous and she's gonna need much of it anymore, so I tried to get them to just cut it off. But every damn gynecologist we take her too takes one look down there and runs out of the room screaming. Pussies, all of them.
So I'm just at my wits end here. If she has another blowout when's she debating Bernie on live TV, well, it wouldn't be pretty and I'd be fired for sure.

Linda Kasabian? Yeah, there's the Wilson connection, The Beach Boys recorded one of Manson's songs and he hung around a fair bit. I think the house was Melcher's at that time and Manson blamed him for not sending him straight to the top of the charts with a contract and whatnot. But, the actual reasons for hitting Cielo Drive are far from cut and dried. There wassome interesting shit involving the DEA and whatnot and some Family members.

Van Houten should have been put to death long years ago. But she was not. And we are now in circumstances where judges are dumping convicted criminals out of California jails due to overcrowding. Unfortunately, it has also long been the practice of California prosecutors to both overcharge in the initial indictment, then agree to whatever lesser charges add up to the "correct" prison term according to their progressive selves. This means that someone who killed three people in drug deals gone bad and the prosecutors had down cold is serving a term for sixteen counts of "possession with intent to distribute", with a term of 35 years -- and is about to get sprung by some judge who doesn't know or care that it was originally 3 counts of murder 1.
And I return to my point. If the fuckin' libs who infest this state aren't going to incarcerate the guilty, they should at least try to incarcerate the dangerous. I'd rather have a current sex offender behind bars than a 70-year-old who murdered 50 years ago.

In the hierarchy of PC causes, feminist grievances against Western men trumps Western men's right to due process.
But Islamic anger against the west trumps Western women's right to live in a society governed by feminist values.
So they accept their own destruction according to this system.
It's like Kafka's story In The Penal Colony. There is a toture machine symbolizing an intricate, insane system of values that the commandant uses to torture and kill prisoners. Finally, the commandant realizes he himself is condemned, straps himself in, and kills himself. Feminists are like that commandant. IMHO one of his best stories, up there with Metamorphosis.

Kasabian, that's it. And, yeah, that was the 2004 movie - from her perspective, which mat be the the most terrifying of all. To be in the middle of that with a shred of sanity.
As to motives - I'm sure none of it is cut and dried. I'm reminded - I live in Eugene, Oregon, and NOVA (or maybe Frontline) did the story on Kip Kinkel and Thurston High a few years after. They put forth this theory and that, regarding motives and causes. I'll never forget, afterwards, just here in Oregon, they aired an interview with a couple of shrinks that had examined him. And what they basically said was, no, the program didn't get anything wrong, per se, but what it left out was - the kid is batshit crazy. His mind just doesn't work right, and there's no real explanation for batshit crazy.

Yeah, they were all batshit crazy all right. The thing about the Family and the killings was that Bugliosi wanted to nail Manson as the prime reason for it all and scoop up the rest as blindfollowers. To be fair to Bugliosi, the alternative would have been extremely messy to pursue and prosecute. Manson himself helped Bugliosi no end, due to his ego. IIRC, Manson wasn't a participant in either the Tate or LaBianca killings. He was involved,, though. People in, or involkved with the Family stated that it was a mess at that time, with Manson's power on the wane. Apparently, some occupant/s of Cielo Drive were under investigation for being major drug dealers and sold to the Family and/or the Bikers who were mostly running the show at that time. One or more insiders believed that it was a drug and/or cash raid, that Manson didn't even know happened. He sent them back to cover their tracks by making it look like The Panthers? or some race group did it. The LaBianca one was to throw the cops off. Tex Watson was supposed to have been the planner of Cielo Drive. Apparently, according to what can be gleaned from the conflicting accounts and the formal prosecution. More drug dealing and money, than Helter Skelter, per se.

The Cards really have made a pact with the damn devil. That's the only way you can explain how setbacks or changes that would throw any other team for a loop for at least a season or so have no effect on them. They don't miss a beat. They lose LaRussa and Pujols - hey no prob! Matheny takes them to the post-season! The guys other teams bring up from AAA play like - guys who were just called up from AAA. The guys the Cards call up step into Busch Stadium and start playing like they're old veterans. Every year they have some wunderkinder - last season it was Piscotty, this year it's Hazelbaker or whatever that dude's name is.

I figure that at this point, I have two options:
A)Appease the city asshat & allow him access to my backyard to take a pic or 17 and get him off my back.
B)Continue denying him access. He then has no proof that I have NOT complied with his demands.
I have been to court twice now without ever uttering a word (other than "good morning, your honor" or "thank you, your honor"). HE keeps asking for a continuance.
Isn't it his duty to prove that I am not in compliance with whatever city code?
*FWIW, I've come to court twice now with a dozen pics of backyard & house, but city asshat wants to come into my gated backyard. I keep telling him "No. I'll see you in court, but I'm not giving the gov't access to my property without a warrant."

IIRC... Manson was present at both scenes, but, after the fact at the Tate place and before at the LaBianca? Yeah, Tex Watson was not a nice guy and was far from the schlub he was made out to be. Same with the girls. At least one major player in the family, who had no reson to fib stated that Manson had become so drug addled and irrelevant at that stage, that he seized the Tate event as his chance to reassert his authority by "fixing" everything for them and getting his pimp hand back.

Nor did she figure out where a few of the sharp kitchen knives went to. But I knew.
Did I mention that I was already ostracized by many in school, because of my conservative views on life and the body politic?

Managed to sprain a finger on my right hand while taking an interior panel off to retrieve the rear seatbelt. (The vehicle is an ex-police unit, and had contained a prisoner cage in the rear, so they had unbolted the lower and top rear seat belt anchors, and let the retractor wind up as much as it could, and then just left the loose ends of the belt dangle inside the door pillar, where it made a rattle. Swift, eh? But I only had to come up with one bolt on each side to make it all good again.
Since this vehicle is likely to become my go-to go-to-work rig for the foreseeable future, it's time to get it in as nice shape as i can manage.

I'm very pro-gun, and have a carry permit and collection to prove it.
I'm not totally on board with permitless carry.
The first carry permit class I took was very, very good, using real-world examples that helped explain the nuances of self-defense law in my state.
Could (and should) someone research those laws on their own without taking a class? Yes.
Will most people do so if they don't have to? No.
Is the requirement that I take a $99 class every five years an overly burdensome restriction of my 2nd Amendment rights? In my opinion, no.
I don't want someone going to jail because they didn't fully understand the law. Neither do I want someone to refrain from exercising their right to self defense because they were unsure if they were allowed to under the laws of their state.

That's when my nightmares (and ongoing insomnia) started, I'm sure.
His was a very violent death, and I knew that. I think the bloody images I remember from that movie certainly colored any mental images or dreams I had of him...
I'll try to email you tomorrow. Beware - I am TERRIBLE about email these days! But k ow that I think of you & J often. And fondly.
Be well.

Best typo of the evening:
RWC: isn't the California school system an abject lesson to the danger of drugs and cults?
Abject, indeed.

"I've come to court twice now with a dozen pics of backyard & house, ..."
I'm not a lawyer, and I don't even play one on ... well, actually, I've been to Small Claims Court twice, as, effectively, the lead for my condo association, and won both times. Therefore, beware, in the extreme, of what I'm about to write.
IF YOU are confident of your case (and only you and your lawyer can make this determination), the next time you're before the judge and the lawyer asks for a continuance, immediately after he finishes making the motion, INTERRUPT with an objection.
Object that he's previously asked for a continuation TWICE before, and is only trying to delay the case, and then, without stopping, hold up your photos in front of the court and tell the judge that you have had these the last 2 times, and they prove your position.
The judge may have to hear you out.
This is risky, and could go very wrong for you. But you might win immediately.

Heh, well, I'm not utterly sober myself, and now that you mention it, maybe it was intentional. I just presumed "object lesson" was intended. Either works.

I figure that at this point, I have two options:
A)Appease the city asshat & allow him access to my backyard to take a pic or 17 and get him off my back.
B)Continue denying him access. He then has no proof that I have NOT complied with his demands.
I have been to court twice now without ever uttering a word (other than "good morning, your honor" or "thank you, your honor"). HE keeps asking for a continuance.
Isn't it his duty to prove that I am not in compliance with whatever city code?
*FWIW, I've come to court twice now with a dozen pics of backyard & house, but city asshat wants to come into my gated backyard. I keep telling him "No. I'll see you in court, but I'm not giving the gov't access to my property without a warrant."
Posted by: Chi at April 16, 2016 01:37 AM (Te2JU)
You might consider calling him out -- noting to the judge that each continuance means you have to show up ready, willing and able......while it means he doesn't have to begin to get his shit together. Ask, pointedly, if every continuance asshat gets means that you get a free continuance later on.....

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

Alienware is just Dell, who is anti-gun, so I get that. May not be the reason they're on your shitlist, but I'm sure it won't help them to get off of it.
I only point that out because I was guessing one of them was Dell, and I wanted so badly to be right that I had to grasp at whatever straw was available.

My problem with Alienwar/Dell isn't about politics.
I bought my first alienware in 2006 (I had a Dell that died after four years). In 2008, the Alienware laptop died and I, after much waste of time, got a replacement. That replacement died after less than four years. It was a hardware failure. I contacted their Indian help service and after about half a day got permission to send my laptop in for fixing. I got the "fixed" laptop back and within half an hour of booting it died again due to hardware failure. I went through the entire song-and-dance and sent it in again. I got it back and it again died after half an hour of initial booting. I still owed money on it and they wouldn't do anything about it.
F**k them.
Labconco goes beyond that, because some piss-ant tech dared tell an expert with gloveboxed what to do.
F**ker.
