Looks more like a riot or kerfuffle or fracas than a battle, what with the lack of armor. Yeah, I see a few helmets, but c'mon.
And those archers are waay too close to their targets. The summoners and black mages (I assume that's what the three in the distance are) have the right idea, being far away from the action. Though maybe one of the three is a bard?
Man, bards are almost useless, but I guess you work with what you got. Maybe they couldn't afford the armor for a knight or samurai?

That painting could be metaphor for oh-so-many scenarios of the Right overrunning the commiesatanlovingprogtardleft, and putting 'em to the sword.
And if the left keeps up their madness, it's gonna go from dress rehearsals, past live "theatre" to BREAKING NEWS, in the blink of an eye.
Upon their heads, be it.
"Terrible Swift Sword", isn't just a lyric in a song, and "62 grains of 5.56 at 3,100 fps", is just a wee bit swifter than that sword.
That said, I'm thankful to not be living in moonbatville, as I frankly, never see the whackball left operating en-masse, this far South.
I'm sure they're out there, though. But they just don't materialize in numbers, here.
For which, as I said, I'm grateful.

Snark aside, a lot of ancient and not-so-ancient armies seemed to have a BYOW policy. Even the Romans, who you would think would be all over uniformity, had soldiers supply their own horses and things. IIRC, in several armies, part of what made a cavalryman part of the cavalry was that he owned a horse.

one difficult thing about old history, it is hard to imagine how brutal life was then. War was not something the read about in papers ... it was a bloody hand to hand thing, that could come to their house and rape and pillage, burn and torture.
Leftists complain about "rape" in the Bible being approved or something. They usually come up with something about the women "taken" after a bloody war. Life was brutal, and survivors learned to survive by making any allegiance necessary, to king, pope, or enemy soldier I guess.
We have been so pampered and protected, so the peace/love/tie-die left think forcing PC Religion on all would bring global peace, if the west would just stop being so mean.
But brutal mean carved out our little safe spaces, better not chase them too far away.

Seems like a good place to mention this:
A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that
Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit
organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him
over the next few years of his Presidency.
Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an
official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form
2 in order to ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign
Act. This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President
to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until
April 2011. Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a
candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar
organizations.
More importantly, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer
be able to engage in political speech which could theoretically affect
the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the
risk of losing their nonprofit status. The move effectively bars
interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money
into for the purposes of opposing Trump's initiatives. This will likely
create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who
has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with
the intent of opposing Trump's government.
This guy, he gets it. It's War, and you fight to Win.

"question regarding boycotting stupid stores: if you're given a gift card for, say, target or starbucks, should you still use it? "

Joe, what I would do is definitely use the card. Buy something from the store so they don't get to keep the card buyer's money...then go back and return the item for cash. That way, Target or wherever doesn't get to keep anything from it.

Yeah. Artists did that a lot. He could be trying to make the story more relateable to his audience by giving them contemporary dress. You'll notice a guy on the right has Roman armor on, and another looks more Greek. He could be using different styles to differentiate armies and people groups.

Snark aside, a lot of ancient and not-so-ancient armies seemed to have a BYOW policy. Even the Romans, who you would think would be all over uniformity, had soldiers supply their own horses and things.
Posted by: Lance McCormick at February 01, 2017 09:40 AM (u0s1P)
The early Roman armies were basically the people who had enough slaves working at home that they could afford to take time off and go campaigning, and yes, they were expected to supply their own gear. The Marian reforms sorted most of that out though.

They might only give it back in the form of a gift card. I'm not sure what the store's policy would be on requesting cash on a receipt that says the item was paid for with a gift card, but they'd probably refuse.
They don't want to give up that money, and it could invite fraud otherwise.

You'd think we'd see more ass jaw bones.
Yeah, a lot of these painters aren't big on the whole "historical accuracy" thing. Though that's part of a larger trend, I think. IIRC in Shakespeare's time, the actors wore then-contemporary attire, not the garb of the setting.
In addition to men playing women and all that.
(To be fair, even Hollywood tries and fails to get historical details like that right, and research is easier now.)

I like that painting. I;d like to think that sometime President Trump visits his site and sees the lovely religious art, and that perhaps gets him to think about his faith. It's easy to not have faith when things are going your way, but IMO, God has been very gracious to Donald Trump and he was obviously raised in a religious household since his mother give him a Bible which he used at inauguration and which apparently was given to him at graduation from Sunday School-Confirmation?. I think if remembers to thank God- and thatt he didn't just achieve things all on his own-that it can only help him in his Presidency.
And here's what i think is a particularly nice refection from The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews-"We are the trees of the field":

Wiseguy biblical scholars, the kind who insist it's all true if you read between the lines and apply enough allegory (and whose side I'm often on), insist the noise-making parade was to mask the sound of Joshua's sappers undermining Jericho's estimable walls, which tumbled when they sparked the punk.
It's certainly a plausible story if you read it that way, but it spoils the miracle.

About Amazon, I'm sorry I can't completely boycott it but for indy writers it is practically a monopoly.
They can't not publish there if they want to get readers. And I think getting more rightwing fiction read is more important than punishing Bezos.
The culture war is being fought in Leftist territory. I think that's partly why Trump uses Twitter and FB despite them being enemy orgs.
(But I really need to setup an alternate site for non-amazon stuff I can talk about. Maybe pets?)

Oh, and I'm certain ancient battles, even if they started out planned and orderly, degenerated quickly. Noise, confusion, yelling orders, dust, dirt, mud-- meanwhile there's at least one guy trying to stab you, so you're probably not thinking about the best way to achieve any objective other than "not die."
Oh, and depending on the battle, you don't want to be there, the guys stabbing you don't want to be there, and you wish you were safely in a meeting or something.

Joe, what I would do is definitely use the card. Buy something from the store so they don't get to keep the card buyer's money...then go back and return the item for cash. That way, Target or wherever doesn't get to keep anything from it.
Some stores give you another gift card instead of cash for returns.

The thing about Soros is that he happily combines business and lefty activism. He's smart enough to use the anarchist tactics to mask whatever business he's into. I'm betting that if you graph upticks in protesting against upticks in Soros-sponsored moneymaking the two will overlap heavily.

I posted this in JJ's thread, but this is more Daywalker territory:
I think the Left is making a serious strategic error on Trump.
Trump is the Republican that they claimed to want. He is not ideological. Willing to tax rich people. Okay with spending money, mostly non-interventionist, not a social conservative, gay-friendly, etc. (I say all that and I am a supporter!)
And they have amped everything up way past 11. Trump does not have to have a learning curve about who the Left is. He gets people that are shitty to him right away, and always pushes back harder. He wrote it in a book! So these Lefties are guaranteeing that he will do the things they most don't want. They have pushed Trump into more conservative positions than I think he would ordinarily hold.
Keep fucking that chicken Lefties. Trump isn't in politics with you, you are in politics with him.

Thank you for such inspiration! I just looked up this artist and Britannica says he was of the Nazarene Movement: "The Nazarenes believed that all art should serve a moral or religious purpose."
Morality & Religion- two compasses the left has abandoned.

At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world spiralling into ruin.
Then we all forsake shoes and walking forever and mutate into a bunch of giant, evil smelling birds.

It is certainly possible that famous cartoon characters were thinly-veiled representations of prominent gay personalities.
It is just as likely that prominent gay personalities deliberately model themselves after Hanna-Barbera prototypes. Fine line of difference.

It is just as likely that prominent gay personalities deliberately model themselves after Hanna-Barbera prototypes. Fine line of difference.

167 I've always been curious how, in these old timey battles, were people able to distinguish friend from foe? Once you're in the middle of that maelstrom of non-uniformed combatants I would think you would basically be attempting to hack your way through anyone that wasn't your best friend.

I guess if i sent a book to President Trump, there is no way it would ever actually reach him. correct? As I was sleeping last night (in the time I actually WAS sleeping) it came to me that"Life Secrets" by Henry Foster would be an excellent choice since it contains so many nuggets about dealing with difficulties, keeping focused on prayer and looking towards Jesus Christ what we do, that it would be inspiring for him, but he probably gets lots of things from people and the SS or somebody has to search through all this stuff.

Yeah, a lot of these painters aren't big on the whole "historical accuracy" thing. Though that's part of a larger trend, I think. IIRC in Shakespeare's time, the actors wore then-contemporary attire, not the garb of the setting.
In addition to men playing women and all that.
(To be fair, even Hollywood tries and fails to get historical details like that right, and research is easier now.)
Posted by: Lance McCormick at February 01, 2017 09:48 AM (u0s1P)
Well, you gotta wonder if they even knew what people in ancient Israel wore. It's not like they could go on the Internet or to the library and look up pictures. It was hard to even come by books in those days. The Bible itself doesn't give you a lot of clues. And people didn't travel as much. We forget how much information we have right at our fingertips.
So it's possible some of these artists thought, I really don't know how they dressed, I don't want to guess and come up with something ridiculous, so I'll dress them like the way people dress now.

I feel like the Republicans had to give the Democrats a chance to play fair.
If McConnell had gone nuclear (not necessarily in terms of the filibuster, just in terms of general tactics), the Democrats would have been more effectively able to frame Republicans as running over norms without precedent.
Now that we've seen their reaction to Gorsuch, and Trump is behind every president over the last 40 years in terms of getting cabinet appointees approved, the Democratic messaging is much much less effective.

Gonna be honest, I really would expect more even headed representatives from safe states. They don't really need to worry about re-election, and they could just concentrate on governance.
Reality begs to differ, however. It's just how I would operate.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison at February 01, 2017 09:50 AM (ThL6N)
-------
That assumes that a Senator is concerned with governance over political considerations. This guy might be one of those, but they seem to be relatively rare.
It's like, the META-job of a Senator is to toe the party line and win elections. The ACTUAL job of Senator seems to generally not even be considered by pundits and, increasingly, Senators themselves. If that makes any sense. It is a weird concept to put into words in a short form.

Where were the other primary opponents? Washing their hair?
I don't see Cruz at the convention as a 'stunt' at all. He ran a good fight and had to appear and thank supporters and the RNC. My own opinion is that he walked that tightrope very well.

That's probably true. Best left on the battlefield, unexamined.
If you commanded such a force, and you were not in the middle of the hell yourself, you probably counted on not much more than superior numbers to win the day. Unless you have horsed forces waiting to clean up, and then again, your horsemen aren't doing a lot of looking at uniform markings.

I find von Carolsfeld's subjects to be rather stiff, which detracts from his technical talent for color and placement. This painting is busy, almost hectic, and has splashes of color (nicely done) but I don't see a real focal point. It's not a bad painting but not an especially good one to my eye.
I found a von Carolsfeld "Wedding at Cana" painting. Compared to the overwhelming life and brilliance of the Veronese version we looked at some months ago, the von Carolsfeld version is subdued and lacks vitality.
I can't help thinking: what if Frank Frazetta had painted this scene? Some possibilities come to mind right off.

That being said, if I fall off the wagon once in a while no one will be the wiser. Actually from having ordered on Amazon I've discovered a world of small businesses that I can order things from direct, and most have free shipping. I'll be doing that as much as I can.

So it's possible some of these artists thought, I really don't know how they dressed, I don't want to guess and come up with something ridiculous, so I'll dress them like the way people dress now.
Yeah, that's my thinking. Also the relatability issue (which was mentioned upthread).
Religious art especially has lots of symbolism and hidden-ish meanings, so I'm sure costuming plays into that.
One thing-- maybe the only thing-- that stuck with me from "Sunday School" (CCD, on Wednesdays, IIRC) was that ancient writers (especially Biblical and that era) weren't as concerned about what *actually* happened as the meaning of the events. Even the Greek and Roman historians had political points to score, so they're not as reliable as we'd like.

RE: Amazon, I've found that a lot of the things you can get there are also on Ebay. Just do Buy It Now with free shipping.

203 That assumes that a Senator is concerned with governance over political considerations. This guy might be one of those, but they seem to be relatively rare.
It's like, the META-job of a Senator is to toe the party line and win elections. The ACTUAL job of Senator seems to generally not even be considered by pundits and, increasingly, Senators themselves. If that makes any sense. It is a weird concept to put into words in a short form.

I get it. I'm assuming that most senators hold onto the idea that they'll be president one day, and they're always trying to position themselves like that.
Even Henry Clay never became president.

I feel like the Republicans had to give the Democrats a chance to play fair.
If McConnell had gone nuclear (not necessarily in terms of the filibuster, just in terms of general tactics), the Democrats would have been more effectively able to frame Republicans as running over norms without precedent.
Now that we've seen their reaction to Gorsuch, and Trump is behind every president over the last 40 years in terms of getting cabinet appointees approved, the Democratic messaging is much much less effective.
Agreed. Give them the rope ... etc. etc.....

So maybe nationally Republicans have figured out what WI Republicans knew back in 2010 with the Act 10 legislation.
The left cannot be bargained with or worked with in any meaningful or constructive way...they despise our side and will do whatever they have to to fight solid progress on our side.
Like WI the national GOP has the votes and have the means to push through these appointments...the WI Gop did it and they were rewarded by the voters. Its time for the national GOP to do the same.
Voters respect prinicpled leaders, but they also want fighters.
Keep it up GOP.

One must ask if it iw more important for the soldiers to be well-armed or have shoes.

.Friendly hacking was quite a common occurrence. There were some subtle measures that might make a difference on the battlefield. Things such as a simple colored armband that one side wore. Some tribes shaved clean like Romans so they would be easy to tell friend from foe there.
But generally you just kept hacking and stabbing at the guy coming from the other direction who was hacking and stabbing at you.

That's probably true. Best left on the battlefield, unexamined.
If you commanded such a force, and you were not in the middle of the hell yourself, you probably counted on not much more than superior numbers to win the day. Unless you have horsed forces waiting to clean up, and then again, your horsemen aren't doing a lot of looking at uniform markings.
,,,
Basically, both sides tell their troops to either move in a direction toward a goal or to defend a position. Anyone going in the opposite direction of you (or toward the position you are defending), is fair game.
So you're ultimate goal as a foot soldier is to not go the wrong direction.

The idea that "violence doesn't solve anything" is almost as stupid as the idea that it takes "a village to raise a child."
Violence, when you think about it, can solve essentially ANY problem. It just tends to create a lot of new problems when used. It is often a solution, just almost always not the BEST solution.

I don't know what that painting is officially named, but the scene depicted has nothing to do with Jericho. The painting is of the battle by Joshua against the Amalekites (basically the Palestinians of his day) as described in Exodus 17, 11 - 13.
The identifier of this scene is the two men holding up Moses' hands while he stands on a hill overlooking the battle.

216 I would sure like to see Brett Favre star in "Cat on A Hot Tin Roof."
Favre could barely get though the few lines he had in "There's Something About Mary." He was ridiculously bad.
My favorite QB movie performance is still Dan Marino & the scared, confused look that he wore throughout "Ace Ventura."

Not all of it, obviously. And not from the 'elite' leadership.

Though black men like him more than black women. The press says that's because black men are a bunch of sexists.

Thus the importance of maintaining a tight battle line, knowing instinctively what the trumpet sounds you needed to know were, and keeping attention on your standard's position. In addition, shield patterns and decoration were identifiers as were crests on helmets. Drill was important so that you did not need to think much about any of that at all, it just became second nature.

This is a seasoned, professional group who has been perfecting its tactics for decades. They may put young punks in the front line, but don't bee fooled into thinking that's who they are.

This is where DT can help the conservatives overcome the "inevitable demographic shift" that is supposedly going to make this country forever socialist (because only white males are conservative). And he is working his way there already.

If Trump can get 25% of voting blacks to vote Republican, and if Republicans can hold onto that, Democrats won't win another presidential election for a generation.

That would be something not done since Nixon. Just breaking double digits would be a signal achievement. In the final analysis I don't think Trump did that, but did get a higher percentage than any Republican since GHWB.

312 Even in relatively modern times, the American Civil War started with no uniformity to the attire of the combatants. There were blue coats on rebels, gray coats on union men, and great gaggles of colors on some of the fancier, wealthier regiments, with feathers and parachute pants and who knows what else.

The only reason the stopped with the blue was because the gray was cheaper to manufacture, I think.

anarchists are and always have been socialists, they are the original brand that put aside parlor mutterings and the big-hearted gestures. Fascists are Socialists, they were an attempt to be socialists without the violence that the Anarchists brought as a tactic. Communists are Socialists, they just more obvious about being a totalitarian.
Socialism is a philosophy of greed and covetousness no matter what it calls itself, it is a Ponzi scheme that first promises to take from the people you resent and give their goods to you for free, then turns into a society wide prison to ensure you get your share, then starts burying people in mass graves because they are the wrong sort of people for this sort of society.
The only good thing about Communists is that they jail and execute the Anarchists to the last man when they achieve power and no longer need the Anarchists' support.

I think the partisan split of blacks should be roughly the same as whites when you take away the effect of the Racist GOP Boogeyman that the Democrats have forged for 50 years.
Maybe a significant tilt to the left for economic reasons, but I think there are just as many sensible black people as white people once you take away the poisoning started with the Great Society.
In other words, I think, if Trump can dis-spell the illusion, there will be a cascading effect and the GOP may end up with 35-40% of the black vote.
I think he'd only need a marginal improvement in inner cities to achieve this.

"I've always been curious how, in these old timey battles, were people able to distinguish friend from foe? "
One of the lesser known stories of the American Civil War is just how many times two units (sometimes full divisions) on the same side would open fire on each other, sometimes battling for hours before they realized they were both on the same side. Takes "friendly fire" to a whole new level.
This has a bearing why both sides had an unofficial rule to never fight in the dark. Each army tried surprise attacks at night, but when the dust settled, they would realize that they shot as many of their own men as they shot of the opposing army whenever they tried that.

Another interesting fact. Puerto Ricans can't vote for President while living in Puerto Rico. 500,000 of them have moved to Florida. They can now vote for President. Apparently they did not vote in mass for Hillary. Something about moving from an area with the lowest labor participation rate around might have influenced their vote, I suspect.

With that in mind, Trump has a lot of room to grow. More than most presidents, I think.

The only reason the stopped with the blue was because the gray was cheaper to manufacture, I think.
That does make some sense. The reason purple became associated with royalty and the Church was due to the cost of the indigo dye way back when, and only the rich could afford it. Again, stuff we take for granted was really hard back in the day.

If they showed up great.
They were going to fundraise off of their delaying the nominees and now they can fundraise of their vote against them in committee.
Either way it moves the vote forward and gets it out of delay.

Agreed! The Donald is way more popular with rank and file blacks than he gets credit for as most of them are sick to death of both the liberal establishment democrat types that run the cities and the crazy SJW types who are advocating things like attacking the police etc. which just leads to more violence in black neighborhoods and less police protection. Most blacks I know (and I do know a few!) are like that woman in Baltimore who saw her son participating in the "demonstrations" ( actually riots) and went down there and grabbed his *ss beat him and took him home. What do black people like that want? Jobs, safety and the chance to get ahead with a good education for their children. That is it. If Trump can show that he can take away control of the crime problem, in places like Chicago, from dumb numnuts like Rahm Emmanuael, and reduce crime and get the economy going ( stopping things like the Detroit Rot and company flight caused by Democrats ) he is going to get a lot more than 25% of the black vote in the next election. Frankly it will solidify his street cred as being very "gangster" - which he already has.I mean, my God, do lefty libs in DC and New York think the average black voter wants unbridled Moslem refugees to stream, into the US? WTF?! Absolutely clueless - and let's hope they stay that way.As someone on here much more intelligent than me has already said today:"Keep f*ckin that chicken!"

Dear (insert Democrat Voter name),
As you know I am in the fight for your life. We must protect our values, our American values against the Trump onslaught. But this fight requires me to ask a favor from you. We need money to make up generic signs and hire protesters to represent our views. If you would just send $3 it would make a difference.
In return, I promise to continue to not show up for my job in the Senate, but I will go on friendly TV news shows to repeat my party line, and offer you the necessary platitudes to keep you in the state of misinformed chaos we value so much.
Yes I know it is a big sacrifice to not show up for the job the taxpayers pay me a mere $174,000 for but it is necessary.
In solidarity,

Three people were shot Saturday morning in the heart of the Gold Coast. And what did Tiny Dancer do? He had some "Dreamers" to his house for dinner. Gee, I wonder why people are fleeing the city?

It's also ironic that the anarchists accuse others of being jackbooted brownshirts and yet their the ones who show up at protests in what's practically ninja uniforms.
Point ofpendantry order-- ninja didn't generally wear the all-black bodysuits. They were spies and assassins, and dressed to blend in. The black costuming apparently comes from theater stage hands, who'd dress like that as they moved props. As an audience-member, you kind of trained yourself to ignore them.
And then one would kill a guy, and it was like an invisible man had done it.

300 Is it just me or is Trump WAY more popular with blacks than is generally appreciated?
Sure looks like it. I assume there's more, but I'd ascribe part of that to A) not an establishment (i.e. demonized) Republican, B) reality show, C) blacks, like whites and almost every other human on Earth, want to be rich, and D) Not Hillary.
Plus anything downstream of D) (not much to show for voting Democrat and such).
But those are just guesses. I'm someone else can elucidate more eloquently anon.
Posted by: Lance McCormick at February 01, 2017 10:22 AM (u0s1P)
I think working class whites and blacks both admire Trump for reaching out and grabbing life by the pussy. (If you'll excuse a turn of phrase.) He's not only rich, he's in-your-face rich; his wife is not just pretty, she's a hot model; his lifestyle is not only luxurious, it's way bigly luxurious. These guys look at that and go "Yeah, I want a guy who knows how to live large." It seems like a small thing but people vote as much on personality as policy.

Biden announced that he is starting the Biden Foundation to continue all of his hard work on issues that matter to him. Violence against the womyynz is one issue he noted that he cares deeply about.

My grandfather arrived from the old country (which old country? Yes, the old one) somewhere around 1912/1913. He barely got out. Went back over there as a member of the American armed forces, even though he spoke practically no English, and eventually got back over here, went to work and saved up his money.
About 10 years after he arrived here, he sent for his wife and eldest son.
So yeah... I don't owe anybody for the damnable sin of slavery.

A very many Harley-Davidson riders are "poseurs". We're talking about suit n' tie professionals, who quit shaving on Thursday, so they can have a bit of a "badass" stubble for their ride to the waffle shoppe on Sunday.
Oooooohhhhh, scary!
I've always kept a quiet, wry amusement at them, redolent in their Halloween Biker togs, and riding only in the safety of a dozen or more of their kind, while they soak in the "intimidating-ness" of their own bad selves on their Fifty Mile Sunday Ride.
That said, it's exactly *those* who bought enough of the H-D product to not only keep 'em in business, but to majorly flourish, all through the desperate '80s, the yuppified '90s, and into the socially acceptable "bikers" of the New Century.
Coming full circle now, with this capitulation by the Harley-Davidson company, itself.
The factory is now the "poseur", and is doing damage to it's core image with this, their decision.
They'd be wise to retract, restate and re-invite, quickly, before this bites them in the ass. If it hasn't, already.
Otherwise, I see a whole lot of buying decisions going to Indian, Victory and other on-shore manufacturers. Not to mention a surge in the sales of the heavyweight import cruisers, many of which have learned how to be worthy competitors in the decreasingly jingoistic, biker's marketplace.
It's not the '80s or '90s anymore, no matter how nostalgic those days might be for the H-D factory.
Politics has evolved, and hardly ever as quickly as in the past 18 months. Bikers evolve, and import riders can often be found among the hardest of the 1%'ers.
People do have a tendency to go with "what works", regardless of source or origin.
Trumpism, seems to be working.
H-D's decision, is a non-starter. Which, H-D used to be known for, come to think about it.

Oooooohhhhh, scary!
I've always kept a quiet, wry amusement at them, redolent in their Halloween Biker togs, and riding only in the safety of a dozen or more of their kind, while they soak in the "intimidating-ness" of their own bad selves on their Fifty Mile Sunday Ride.
That said, it's exactly *those* who bought enough of the H-D product to not only keep 'em in business, but to majorly flourish, all through the desperate '80s, the yuppified '90s, and into the socially acceptable "bikers" of the New Century.
Coming full circle now, with this capitulation by the Harley-Davidson company, itself.
The factory is now the "poseur", and is doing damage to it's core image with this, their decision.

If they don't show up and the nominations are approved they then get to
say "The votes for nomination were only done by Republicans...This does
not represent the American people."
Tough shit. They refused to show up and do their jobs, so we went on without them.

Personally, I think I would have waited until after all my confirmations to roll out the order. We'll see how it turns out. The protests over the weekend seem to have had SOME effect on the polls so there is evidence it didn't play well overall.
It should have been sold as, "We need to know who we let into the country BEFORE we let them in. This delay allows us to figure out how to do that."
On the other hand, I've been wrong about Trump's tactics repeatedly and will wait to see what happens. I think it was inartfully implemented but what do I know?

My grandfather arrived from the old country (which old country? Yes, the old one) somewhere around 1912/1913. He barely got out. Went back over there as a member of the American armed forces, even though he spoke practically no English, and eventually got back over here, went to work and saved up his money.
About 10 years after he arrived here, he sent for his wife and eldest son.
So yeah... I don't owe anybody for the damnable sin of slavery.

Mine came in 1914.
I live in Michigan.
Not Responsible.
However, I've been told that although Michigan is not a slave state, slaves were kept here and because "whitey" I owes dem people some rep-a-ray-shuns.

Iranians: doing the math American kids dont.
Most of the foreign students impacted the visa ban
are studying in STEM fields.
But with 94 million Americans not working and millions of college kids who cant find a job, surely there's some STEM jobs that could be available to Americans (without the H1B visa discount of course !)
A look at the subjects pursued by those 12,000 Iranian students shows that the ban could dramatically affect companies that rely on graduates with STEM degrees. More than three quarters of those students were working in STEM fields: 54 percent were studying engineering, 12 percent studied math or computer science, and 12 percent studied physical or life sciences.
Overall, about two thirds of international students pursue STEM degrees, compared with 48 percent of students born in the U.S.

I think quickly and personally addressing them buys back a lot of any lost good will. Trump just says, "we are following stories where the EO was misapplied and are taking any steps necessary to reunite families wrongly separated."
No harm, no foul. And a few hours lost at an airport is not 'harm.'

Hello, Brother-I endorse what other people said about you contacting your doctor right away if you anti depressant is causing you to have suicidal thoughts. That is very bad. Thees intrusive thoughts may only get worse. I can only assure you-and you know this when thoughts are logical-that are numerous people who would be devastated if you acted on those thoughts.
In addition, today is a Holy Day in the Orthodox church-unless the particular church is celebrating it another day. It is the presentation of Jesus and Mary and the temple-40 days after the celebration of his birth. I know you hesitate to go there but you might find the sung prayers and chanting soothing and healing as well.

Didn't African tribes take captives from their own rivals and than sell them to the slave traders?Pretty sure there was no need for white men to go into Africa and capture anyone,as depicted in Roots.

I personally don't believe anyone receiving financial aid should be able to pick their major. They should be presented a list of majors that represent the needs of the country at the time. If you want to major in art history, you pay for it your damned self.

There is no possible way the order could have been implemented that wouldn't have had the same results. The Left is deranged. Worrying about what they think or how they'll react is counterproductive. We want them worrying about what we are going to do to them next.

Our side is lazy/sane/employed and just refuses to really mobilize over small issues. We also have a media that can block any boycott, whereas the MSM loves to trumpet liberal boycotts and show all the Hollywood actors involved, etc.
Also, the much bigger problem is all of these big ad agencies are usually in "blue" cities like San Fran, NYC, LA, etc. And I would wager 90% of people in PR are dyed in the wool liberals.
It's a sea change from the idea that Big Corporations are dens of right wingers, it couldn't be further from the truth

I don't think it's "won" at all, most of the conservative "intelligentsia" is still firmly in the NeverTrump camp and just waits for any small issue to jump on board and say "see, we should have made sure he lost!!!" with things like the visa pause because a few people got hung up in an airport.
These people need to be discredited.
Just browse around Twitter and look at what people are saying that I used to think were on our side.

I think the Left is keeping their powder dry for the next SC appointment. As much as I love the Gorsuch nomination, he doesn't really change the intellectual, such as it is, balance of the court. If someone retires or dies, the next appointment is going to be an absolute circus.

If that's the case, then having a liberal dunce replace Scalia shouldn't have been a big deal.
This will put the court back to a 5-4 majority. And yes, I agree we need a 6-7 majority to overcome the two court idiots, Kagan and Sotomayor. And the 'consult the 8 ball" Roberts.
But every seat on that court is most definitely a hill to die on.

Far from being a boon, the effect of slavery on the economy of the South was almost wholly negative. The story is of the Southern grandee who died and was buried in an Indiana coffin, a New York suit and Massachusetts shoes under a headstone of Vermont granite. The South provided the corpse and the hole in the ground.

Our side is lazy/sane/employed and just refuses to really mobilize over small issues. We also have a media that can block any boycott, whereas the MSM loves to trumpet liberal boycotts and show all the Hollywood actors involved, etc.
Also, the much bigger problem is all of these big ad agencies are usually in "blue" cities like San Fran, NYC, LA, etc. And I would wager 90% of people in PR are dyed in the wool liberals.
It's a sea change from the idea that Big Corporations are dens of right wingers, it couldn't be further from the truth
---
Remember the old "think globally, act locally" cr@p from a while back?
Everyone can act locally.
Boycott your local tv stations. Your newspapers.
Tell them you're boycotting them.
Then contact their advertisers. Tell them you are boycotting them because they support these fake journalists. Tell them you won't buy their products until they stop supporting left wing policies.
Case in point: Budwieser. They have a pro-immigration ad out right now. Seems like a great time to contact them and say "I'm have a super bowl party and not serving your beer becuase of your political views."
The only way they will learn is if they lose money. That's all that matters to them: money.
And if they only want to sell their products to liberals, well, that's fine. Let's see how that works out for you. Check to see how it worked out for Target.

My g-grandfather's mother died right after he was born. He was the youngest of four. He and his brothers and sisters were sent to live with his grandparents.
He was apprenticed to a chemist (pharmacist) when he was 16. Life was hard in Yorkshire then, mechanization had displaced all of the textile workers, there were no jobs, and disease was rampant, particularly Typhus.
His older brother lost 3 children in 10 days to Scarlet fever.
He had an uncle here in the states, so in 1861, he emigrated. Enlisted in Michigan 29th Infantry Regiment. Eventually commissioned to 2nd Lt. Mustered out at Murfreesboro, TN, Sept. of 1865.
He is buried at Cave Hill National Cemetery in Kentucky.
Reparations: probably not happening.

By the way, observation that the ette's will understand.
Trump needs to pay raise whoever did his hair and makeup last night. He looked ten years younger, got ride of those raccoon eyes (goggles for the tanning booth?) and lost that brassy, gold tones from his hair. I liked his dark suit, and I know people comment about his long ties...they actually make him look taller than he is.
Thumbs up for whoever it is, possibly he hired Hillary's makeup artist and hair stylist, who really was an academy award winner for how she/he could turn Hillary's carcass into a decent looking human being for the camera.

Me not accepting federal funds for an education won't do anything since I'm done with college.
Government picking winners and losers is not suddenly a good thing when we're in charge. That's just like the GOPe being better managers than Democrats. Something that I do not like.

I don't see that at all.
Aside from Rick Wilson and a couple of others (none of whom would ever be considered part of the intelligentsia) most of the conservative movement is, at worst, Trump-cautious. They're happy to praise him when they need to and criticize him when they see fit.
Plus, I thought most of us considered these people to have no power anymore? Focus on those who do have power instead.

With respect to the North and industry perhaps. The South was certainly convinced of the superior efficiency of their slave plantations versus the then free-labor plantations of the Caribbean (not to mention Free Haiti).

Also... people seem to forget that colleges and universities are not in the business to train people for jobs.
Their primary job is to keep students in their particular system as long as possible so they can make as much money as possible off those students.
Four year degree? It's better if it takes five. They make more money that way.
And if you're employable, well, what a happy coincidence.

To be precise, they would rather that it took less time. What the universities are all about is just making students (or the government(s) through financial aid) pay for class credits. If they can make them pay for the same number of credits in less time then they are all gung-ho for that. If they can make a student pay for getting credit for some earlier class (AP stuff, say) or "life experience" then that is the best sort of business they can do - literally 'money for nothing'.

The Roman officers were given short heels on their sandals to make them look taller. The Romans noticed that their officers didn't get nearly as tired on marches as the troops did. Not being idiots they gave all their soldiers the heels. The Romans were thus able to march somewhere and fight - while their foes were exhausted and had to rest after a march. This gave the Romans a decisive edge on the battle field.

College costs getting out of control is the same with why housing prices exploded in the 2000s, once the government makes these loans a human right, the price goes through the roof as ability to pay is no longer a factor.
I would not be opposed though to some "non-conservative" solutions like tuition freezes for colleges that accept federal aid. It is a government institution after all, if they want to go 100% private than they won't have those regulations.
I also would like to start going after these endowments with tax reforms, some of them like Harvard could pay for like 100 years of free tuition for every student that attends.

Mr. Cardin,
Will you and the other Democrats in the Senate please get back to work and do your jobs. This posturing and skipping out of Finance committee meetings to stall President Trump's nominees is ridiculous. Mr. Obama had 11 cabinet positions filled in the first two weeks of his first term. The Republicans were in the minority but didn't resort to these silly stunts. President Trump only has 2 cabinet positions filled at this time. Please put these partisan tactics aside and do your job.
Please include the text of this email in any response that you may send.

Mr. Cardin,
Will you and the other Democrats in the Senate please get back to work and do your jobs. This posturing and skipping out of Finance committee meetings to stall President Trump's nominees is ridiculous. Mr. Obama had 11 cabinet positions filled in the first two weeks of his first term. The Republicans were in the minority but didn't resort to these silly stunts. President Trump only has 2 cabinet positions filled at this time.

Ginsburg is 187yrs old and looks like a decomposing troll. She only stayed thru the oblabo years because she is a rabid racist and didn't want the black guy to name her replacement. She expected hellbeast to win and get the honor. Now she is screwed. She needs to resign but can't. Odds are she keels during a court session.

>>No one will seriously challenge McConnell. He held the line during the Dark Ages (no not racist just historically accurate). But Schumer is no Reid. What is going on now is a mess. Total loss of control over causus without any political gain.
It could be argued that one of the big reasons the Dems are in the mess they are right now is because of Reid. Not only did he blow up the filibuster for federal judicial appointments he gave the precedent for doing the same with the Supreme Court votes.
Also his nastiness, dishonesty and general dickish behavior turned a lot of voters off. Like it or not the Senate was designed to be a congenial place where debate could take place at a high level. Reid went a long ways toward blowing that up and the rancor and partisanship we see now is his legacy.

It does take a moron -- and not the good kind -- to presume government should decide which majors are "needed".
Simpler solution: no financial aid, just loans. If the student defaults, institution of record is on the hook for repayment. Washing students out becomes critical, BS majors are a burden to the school, and if you can make a doctorate in grievance studies pay, you're free to do so.

But that's also true of other degrees that require higher education, like law and medicine. No one would say pre-med is a major with no earning potential, but if you don't go to Med School, then yeah, you're going to be working in fast food.

Kill the federal loan program. Put colleges partially on the hook for the money if the student defaults.
Also: conservative-minded employers should be shouting from the *rooftops* that they're open to hiring people right out of high school for apprenticeship type positions.
Half of the kids at any public university would be better off doing something like that.

What the universities are all about is just making students (or the government(s) through financial aid) pay for class credits. If they can make them pay for the same number of credits in less time then they are all gung-ho for that. If they can make a student pay for getting credit for some earlier class (AP stuff, say) or "life experience" then that is the best sort of business they can do - literally 'money for nothing'.

I think they do well with something called "room and board." I was factoring that in as well. I'm guessing that on campus housing is just as expensive as tuition.
It might have changed over the years, but the university I attended deliberately under scheduled required classes in popular majors so that it would take five years to complete

At the start of the civil war this text said that around 95% of the economy of the South was tied up with slavery in one form or another.
Now imagine that the South in the mid 50s had demanded that the North shutdown all the auto industry, the steel industry, and nearly every other economic industry they had in the North.

The more I read about Antebellum America, the more I'm convinced that war was inevitable. There was literally no way to stop it.

Well, they won't print it on a degree, but there are a suite of courses that basically make up a major - they're more credit intensive than a lot of 'real' majors. It's just taken for granted that anybody doing that courseload is doing it as a precursor to Med School and their formal degree will usually be in one of the sciences. (I know my grandpa's was in Bio, and my father's was Chem.)

Vic is right, slavery was dying out in the non cotton slave states like Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina
and when further mechanization came to the South after the war, a lot of the sharecroppers were out of work, so it is unlikely slavery was going to last long in Mississippi either

Not being idiots they gave all their soldiers the heels. The Romans were thus able to march somewhere and fight - while their foes were exhausted and had to rest after a march. This gave the Romans a decisive edge on the battle field.
More than the heels, they made distance marches a routine, so the soldiers were all conditioned for endurance. On campaign, the daily routine was to tear down the camp -- which involved removing a stockade -- marching, then building a new camp, with a surrounding ditch, dirt rampart, and stockade on top the rampart. Oh, and sometimes the troops carried the poles for the stockade, as well as their gear and food.

Sandra Day OConnor played a similar role, she seemed to fine with being replaced by a more conservative justice.

I think they do well with something called "room and board." I was factoring that in as well. I'm guessing that on campus housing is just as expensive as tuition.
Very true. The ridiculous rates they cahrge for dorms and their shitty cafeterias are damn good sidebusinesses. Normally, lefties would describe them as "price gouging" ... but everything associated with universities is pretty much like that.
It might have changed over the years, but the university I attended deliberately under scheduled required classes in popular majors so that it would take five years to complete
Posted by: shibumi, a rational single white female and kitteh servant at February 01, 2017 11:47 AM (J5mC3)
I don't know. That sounds odd. The university makes more money getting students to pay for every credit and then be gone (to be deluged with letters begging for donations ever after). Required classes are usually good business for colleges because they allow large graduate programs, as the grad students are the cheapest instructors around - so it ends up being a win-win for the school.
Most schools I have been involved with (as a student or on faculty) have wanted to get the population turned over as quickly as possible.

That's very true, but there were also those in the South who thought that the gin would, almost overnight, generate a vast, unemployed, thoroughly impoverished, restive black population in Dixie, and that that unacceptably dangerous situation was reason enough to slow-roll acceptance of industrialized agriculture. Not saying it's the "correct" history, but the argument has been made (and there's some precedent for it).

I don't want to blame the abolition movement that developed, but I do wonder what would have happened if it hadn't developed. Would the South have hardened its views so thoroughly?

------------------------------------------
By the mid 1850's there was a growing sentiment in the South (though still a minority view) that focused on the Golden Circle and attributed great importance to the expansion of slavery to the Caribbean and Central America (that is a re-introduction of slavery where it had been abolished) under the American (until 1861)flag. Initiatives in this direction would have placed free-soilers in the same hardened political position as the abolitionists.

In regards to Harley Davidson -
I just called their offices in Milwaukee. They said they did NOT cancel a tour by Trump. They said there was some preliminary activity trying to schedule a meeting but it has not been scheduled as of yet. They said they are HAPPY to have the President tour the company, and are unhappy that the media is reporting otherwise.

512 For joncelli-if he's still l on the website
Hello, Brother-I endorse what other people said about you contacting your doctor right away if you anti depressant is causing you to have suicidal thoughts. That is very bad. Thees intrusive thoughts may only get worse. I can only assure you-and you know this when thoughts are logical-that are numerous people who would be devastated if you acted on those thoughts.
In addition, today is a Holy Day in the Orthodox church-unless the particular church is celebrating it another day. It is the presentation of Jesus and Mary and the temple-40 days after the celebration of his birth. I know you hesitate to go there but you might find the sung prayers and chanting soothing and healing as well.

Hi Fen! Everybody has been so supportive. I'm feeling better now and I'm going to see the doctor. And I identified an Orthodox church near me (St. Herman of Alaska, which is cool because I lived in Anchorage long ago). Seriously, I'm okay and I appreciate everybody's caring.

Those who publicly declared that Hillary would have been a better president do NOT get to come back and tell Trump how to run his administration and receive anything like credibility.
Some Nevertrumpers spent hours and thousands of words attacking Trump even once he was the nominee. They also attacked his supporters. Right JohnE? Gabe? Ynot?
I was at ace's when you could get BANNED by a cob on a thread for mentioning Trumps NAME.
I will mock and deride Nevertrumpers permanently.

Remember how, before the election, the Dems were talking about how the country was tired of gridlock? And now, they seem to love it. If you don't want to vote for a nominee, that's fine. But don't pull this BS where you don't want to let them out of committee.

By the mid 1850's there was a growing sentiment in the South (though still a minority view) that focused on the Golden Circle and attributed great importance to the expansion of slavery to the Caribbean and Central America (that is a re-introduction of slavery where it had been abolished) under the American (until 1861)flag. Initiatives in this direction would have placed free-soilers in the same hardened political position as the abolitionists.

I've read specation that but for Nat Turner, slavery may have disappeared of its own accord.

So glad you're going to contact your doctor, it's the right thing to do.
Also, when dealing with any kind of psych meds, it might take a while to find the one that works best for you. It's not a one size fits all kind of thing, and it might take a few months to find what's right for you. Please be patient with the process.

I did the math and we in Baltimore are killing Chicago in murders per resident.
Baltimore 2016 murders 344= 1 per 1800 residents
Chicago 2016 murders 760= 1 per 3500 residents.
Suck our dust Chicago!! They would have to get to 1500 to catch us.
For comparison, NYC had 330 murders last year. They would need to get to over 4700 to catch us.
We win!

re: the Roman Army
"On campaign, the daily routine was to tear down the camp -- which involved removing a stockade -- marching, then building a new camp, with a surrounding ditch, dirt rampart, and stockade on top the rampart."
There was another factor to this; it was official Roman policy to always keep the troops busy doing something. They had learned from many years of experience that a bunch of army grunts with nothing to do generally find any number of ways to cause trouble.

The wimps there said that they never heard of Trump's planned visit.

HA
That's hilarious!
Probably that one guy in legal with a ponytail and a European manbag. " Trump is bad for business, boss! And he scares me!"
Put enough pressure on and the sane voices at corporate will be heard. Twitter is probably the best way to do that.

whatever they report.

Yes, they are running out of power and out of weapons. They've lost the Presidency, the Senate, the House, most of the governors and most of the State houses. They are about to lose the Court. All that's left are riots, protests, and media lies. There will be a lot of traps laid.

Same with the paper. They could be getting hundreds of letters supporting Trump, but they're probably left, so they publish the crazy leftist letter.

I just got a call from that doctor down at MUSC that is supposed to do my operation. They got a copy of the stress test I had run a couple of weeks ago which my doctor had said was OK. They said there was a "slight abnormality" and even though the EKG they ran was OK they want a cardiologist to sign off on the operation.
Even though they have the stress test and a building full of cardiologists here they want me to get a cardiologist here. We don't have one here. They work out of a hospital out of Columbia with an office here.

>>yeah the Obamacare repeal is flying through the house & Senate isn't it?
This may come as a shock but unwinding a law that affects every single American, the entire insurance industry and basically 1/5th of the American economy is a tad more difficult than writing an Executive Order. And if the Trump and the Republicans fuck it up it is going to hamstring the rest of Trump's term.
It took Democrats years to implement Obamacare because of the scope of what they were doing, it is not going to go away overnight. But it will go.

I think Pelosi was abducted by aliens long ago and they left in her place a robotic shell only capable of reflexively speaking in Lefty talking points. There is no thought, just regurgitation of what's been programmed in.

Locking Pelosi and DWS in the same room would create the most hilarious and terrifying feedback loop ever.

I live in Cali. So much hope in this state once. I stay because my
entire family is here, and it's the only place I've known, but I've been
making escape plans for over a year now. I can't take it much longer.

Us too, Rusty Nail. Hubby was born here and lived through the RR years here so he is quite sad at the prospect. But the state is just ridiculous now.
Posted by: IC at February 01, 2017 12:25 PM (a0IVu)
Shit... I'd made my escape... was gone for many years...
Had to come back to care for my Mom.... who we could not blast out of here with explosives...
But once she's passed.... I'll be gone as fast as I can sell the damn house....

745 there is rumor going around that there is going to be a supreme court resignation
Posted by: runner at February 01, 2017 11:52 AM (c6/9Q)
The rumor last night was the Kennedy resigned and Trump was going to announce it and nominate two guys.
It is also rumored that Melanie Trump is secretly obsessed with me and hoping that I will move to NY to be with her, where we'll invited Giada Delaurentis over for cooking and threesomes.
Sure. A Justice will resign... eventually. Unless they die first. Rumor has it, also, that the sun will rise in the east every day for at least the next 4 years.

Nevertrumper amnesty ain't happening.
Also there is a difference between bureaucratic headaches of Obamacare and flat out opposing repeal.
But with these snakes, you will never know which one it is.

685 670 Far from being a boon, the effect of slavery on the economy of the South was almost wholly negative
--------------------------------------
With respect to the North and industry perhaps. The South was certainly convinced of the superior efficiency of their slave plantations versus the then free-labor plantations of the Caribbean (not to mention Free Haiti).
Posted by: RioBravo at February 01, 2017 11:34 AM (SsblQ)
=====================
Thomas Jefferson was once challenged to prove that slavery was more economically advantageous to him than paid labor would be.
He never finished the analysis.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison at February 01, 2017 11:39 AM (ThL6N)
Others did finish the analysis, and they concluded that, except for the appreciation/speculation bubble in the value of slaves bred here that started after importation of slaves was ended in 1807, farming using slave labor never made money (source for the reference is Allan Nevins history of the Civil War, although I do not remember who he was actually citing). Further, the agricultural methods used at the time were depleting the soil so that farmlands in the Old South were rapidly becoming unusable for cotton growing. Slavery was just a blight in every sense of the word.

Yeah, the "at least one minority member present" rule made sense if the "loyal opposition" was fully involved in the confirmation process, like attending committee votes. The purpose of the rule, I believe is to prevent the majority party from ramming through legislation in committee and not informing the minority party that such a meeting was taking place.
That's one thing. It's a travesty when the minority routinely refuse to attend a scheduled meetings for the purpose of preventing the entire Senate from performing its constitutional duties.

Jeez, Trump hasn't been in office 2 full weeks yet, he's already done a shit ton and we're complaining about O care not being repealed yet?
Obama and the Dems deliberately made sure it would difficult to repeal - the GOP has to be careful about how they handle it or the backlash will be terrible.
You know what the Left has that the Right doesn't? Patience.

Well thanks. But I disagree that they have been career political hacks. Watch what happens now that there is a Republican President.
You will see the same effectiveness that they had in the minority from Pelosi and Schumer. It's how the system works.

No, it isn't. BarkyCare is hereby repealed. Done.
The Vichy GOP turds claim that they have already passed repeal bills 53 times during Barky's reign ... but they can't get one bill out on the floor, now? Bullshit.
And for those poor, widdle souls who are going to "lose" their health insurance (that mine went up over 200% in order to pay for) they can all just suck my dick. No one is giving any thought to the way my costs went through the friggin roof and how my actual health care has been destroyed. No .... it's only the welfare leeches who all the Vichy turds are worried about ...\
FFS. I am well damn sick and tired of this bullshit.

re: Slavery: Adam Smith thought slavery was pernicious. The idea that capitalism and slavery are somehow inextricably linked is hooey. Bad in agriculture, bad in industry.
It is one of those ideas that sounds obviously advantageous from a purely capital point of view ("Hey, if I could just own people, I could tell them what to do, and they would have to, and I wouldn't have to pay them") but just isn't true.

Indigo needs hot weather and is grown in the South. The North would have had access to it from England though. I think the grey was from butternut hulls, mordanted in iron (which tends to produce darker colors.)
