Mid-Morning Open Thread [CBD]

The Fruit Seller
Vincenzo Campi

Odd perspective, and the suggestive shapes of the fruits and vegetables is microaggressive.

But still fun to look at!

And below the fold...a video. it ain't art, but it's still fun.

103 whether Trump or any other republican ( i use that term loosely here). The media would have spent all their time making sure their chosen would win.
see the laughable accusations they made re romney, mccain. The pure lust for undermining Bush before that.

They are all in, we expected this, it is what it is.

so we got a few laughs and sometimes embarrassment . but i hope the GOP gets the message . but i won't hold my breath. this time with Trump

i wish i had all that fruit , it looks delicious.

I had this idea about making tourist art. If I could find a mermaid in a block of wood I'd know how to do it and then I'd do it again a lot of times. It turned out that once I found this one I only wanted to find different ones and they take a few hundred hours.

Posted by: ThunderB at June 17, 2016 10:26 AM (zOTsN)

Bingo!

He's a "clever" guy who's thought processes are a millimeter deep.

Huntsman writes sentences well enough for the job- i.e.. a reader with a fifth grade education, but has nothing of import to say.

So, he's picked up the usual progtard excuse for inhumanity...it's the hypocrisy that concerns his oh-so-sensitive-soul and, of course,

the unfairness of the murder of the offending animals.

He's simply trolling.

Huntsman is the type of guy IMHO who thinks that terrorist attacks like Orlando are really no big deal because if you look at the statistics-

only 50 gays were killed out of 3,000,000 - 6,000,000.

And probably would write a column stating such if it wasn't double-ungood bad think among the progtard crowd.

It's the same type of argument he makes about the toddler and gator.

So, in conclusion, Huntsman is a trolling scumbag who's not particularly smart.

In Hungary and Bulgaria, civil defense units are patrolling "to protect" the population from immigrants. A report on violent "immigrant hunters" and "healthy walks".

Budapest/Sofia. In front of the local McDonalds in
Gyor, western Hungary, a burly Iraqi is negotiating with a group of
immigrants. "That's a smuggler," says Miklos (name changed). With some
physically well-conditioned friends, he approaches the establishment.
The immigrants disappear in a flash. "They know us," says Miklos. When
the Hungarian Guard --- the currently banned militia of the right-wing
Jobbik Party --- was founded, he was one of the first on the spot.

After work, he and ca. 40 like-minded companions move in varying
routes through the town, watching for immigrants from the nearby refugee
camp, Vamosszabadi. "We talk to them, ask them what they are doing
here," says Miklos. "We try to explain that the rules are different here
than where they come from. For instance, how you treat women." Then "we
escort them to the stop for the bus that goes back to the refugee
camp."

====================

This year, everything offered by the MSM should be scrutinized very carefully. When Trump supporters are being chased and beaten at campaign rallies (and the perps brag about their beat-downs on FB), then all bets are off. Admitting that one is a Trump supporter may have an impact on employment decisions. Putting a Trump bumper sticker on a car is an open invitation for trouble.

With the MSM all in for Hillary, I expect a record non-compliance rate on the right side for all polling.

And after Trump gets the GOP nomination, all the #nevertrump people still registered as Republican will be in the same boat.

Who says the left isn't religious? They've got their own god (the almighty State), the devil (Richard Nixon, or whoever Republican is most in the news that day) and invisible magic powers that can do harm ("climates" of hate/fear/whatever).

So D'Souza first floated the idea in a 2007 World Magazine piece, but that's pretty much the last I heard of it, so presumably his idea went nowhere.

Then Obama got elected, D'Souza went to jail, after which he decided he had bigger fish to fry.

337 In our county, notices went out that you can be fined by the city if your weed growth is over 6". Also, you neighbors are encouraged to call and squeal on you for the same.

338 The problem is, the conservative movement got so tied to the hip to religious conservatives in the 80's that most people now basically vote along religious vs secular lines. Except minorities.

Not really. The majority of this country is religious but that isn't how we vote.

339 The other Drudge headline:

Paul Ryan: We will sue Trump over muslim ban.

sigh.

I am so embarrassed to admit I liked Ryan during his run with Romney.

At this point, he might as well change parties. He IS a Democrat. And a traitor to America. Just like the rest.

In my opinion, being socially conservative is just coincidental to being on the right in the USA.

It's a commitment to individual liberty and God-given rights.

A lot of "naturally conservative" ethnic groups don't have that.

Agree. Social conservatism is a superficial commanality between the American right and Latino and (OBVIOUSLY) Muslim immigrants.

But you know who I think is salvageable? Black Americans. Seems to me that to some degree they're capable of getting this whole "leave me alone" thing and having pride in their country.

342 Interesting opinion piece from former NYPD cop saying he believes there was a coordinated attack in Orlando with a number of shooters.

Someone tried to post a video of themselves carrying an AR and 7 mags in blue jean pockets.

Immediately people jumped all over him asking where the other 10 mags and the ammo can were?

7 mags = 2 rounds per victim. No misses. And no hour long gun battle with SWAT.
He either had a shitload of ammo, or help.

343 @340: Working-class and middle-class ones completely are salvageable. The ones in the welfare death spiral as designed by LBJ probably aren't, sadly.

Lord only knows how serious these interviews really were, since obviously it could all just be for show, but Abedin, Mills and "others" have been interviewed by FBI, some several times.

If Matt's face was on fire I might, just might, rouse myself to put it out with an ice pick and then piss on it to make sure there were no smouldering coals.

Maybe.

351 Paul Ryan threatens to sue Trump if he tries to ban Muslim immigration. That is what Ryan told HuffPo in a interview. That is right...Huffington Post. It is nice to see our GOP house leader telling Prog media central how he and his retarded band of internationalists are aiding the left.

If you want any proof that he GOPe is hellbent on bringing in more Muslims into America, this is it. So Paul Ryan is hot to invade Syria, remove Assad, and spend billions, if not trillions, of American dollars on that place (only to see it end up in the hands of a Muslim Brotherhood style government). Yet, he wants to bring more Muslims into America in the middle of war with Islamic Jihadists, a war he is advocating for! That is insanity...defined!

I will repeat this the GOP cares more about internationalism than the lives of American citizens. I wish Bonehead was still in charge, he was at least not a messianic free trade lunatic like Ryan is.

I just know that people I know in my life almost exclusively vote Democrat over that one issue. They are secular and Republicans are looked at as the Christian Party.

That's why the South is solidly Republican (it's a far more religious part of the country)

I would be willing to bet you could predict how a precinct votes just purely looking at Church attendance in that particular area.

356 Insomniac, I have got an idea.

I need boots on the ground in Orlando in the form of an agent, and a lawyer would be perfect. I'm sourcing about fifty million dollars worth of real estate loans for a Florida/Orlando- based real estate development company in the next 90 days. My cut on each loan is one point, and I'm working with a buddy of mine who is a commercial real estate loan broker who I'm going to be going into business with.

Since I'm up in Washington, I can't get paid on each of these unless I have a presence in Florida. If you're up for it I can get you in for a pretty good split.

The developer has been building hotels and other commercial properties down in your area for the last 30 years so they're pretty solid.

I'll email you later this afternoon. Today I'm off to the VA for negotiations over and getting a newly installed.

357 The sad part about all this is Trump is just calling for a Temporary ban until we can figure out what is going on, etc. Now who is the fanatic? The man who wants to tap the breaks on Islamic immigration in the middle of a war against Islamic fundamentalists, OR the goof balls who think we should never limit immigration for any reason what so ever...

Now I see Fox this morning is pushing the "get rid of Assad" narrative again. Lets just create a bigger freaking vacuum so ISIS can take more territory! Brilliant!
