Old and Busted: Jake Tapper Whines That Trump Tweets About the Media Instead of About "Syria"
New Hotness: CNN Spends Four Days Covering the F*** Out of Trump's WWE Gif
Shot: Jake Tapper in full peacocking mode. Lovely plumage!
Flip that around to how many journalists tweets have attacked Trump and not focused on Syria, Opioid crisis, #KatesLaw
— Tasha Stevens (@tstevensradio) July 1, 2017
CNN covered the tweet in every hour of its on-air coverage Monday starting at the 11:00 a.m. hour and going through the 7 p.m. hour. “I want to know today, how from this troll on Reddit, this hateful troll who posts anti-Semitic racist trash against CNN and other people and outlets how did it get from this person to the president’s twitter feed?” asked CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter during one such segment. “We don’t know the answer to that. There’s a lot of clues online about how this thing started but now how it reached the president’s desk. I hope the White House answers that because this is not the first time we have seen sort of meme from the swamps of the Internet make its way to the president’s Twitter feed."And then you know what happened last night, as CNN threatened to doxx the gif's maker. And today, many have noted, this remained their headline story on their website throughout most of the day. (It's not, now -- but I suspect that's because the story has turned against them, rather badly.) This reminds me of when CNN's Dylan Byers whined that "real reporters" were asking questions about Syria, where as "rightwing reporters" were asking questions about CNN's retracted #FakeNews report about "Russian connections" and Trump associate Tony Scaramucci. Which prompted Sean Davis to inform Dylan Byers that he had last tweeted about Syria 77 days before, thus making him not a "real reporter" at all, and likely a right-wing racist.
Let me note the Social Justice Warrior's primary justification for censorship, intimidation, mob tactics, and physical attacks: they were made to "feel unsafe," so any retaliation-before-the-fact -- let's call it "pretaliation," or even "pretribution" -- is justified. Compare that with CNN's justification for #CNNBlackmail: This ridiculously silly tweet might "inspire violence" against a Protected and Exalted Minority Group -- reporters, in this instance -- and therefore it's perfectly fair to resort to mob tactics to squelch the man making you "feel unsafe." A Swarm of Assholes: Allisyn Camarota, Chris "Chaplinski Rule" Cuomo and Brian Stelter weigh in, and I do mean weigh, especially with regard to Fat Joker.

I have ALWAYS been suspicious of chemotherapy as an anti-cancer treatment. I couldn't understand how it targeted the tumor only and not the rest of the body.
When I looked into it (long ago), I found to my shock that it DOESN'T target just the cancer - -the poison hits the whole body as well. The theory being that the body can recover from the poison, butt he tumor can't.
Well, looks like my suspicions were well-founded: chemotherapy now proven to make cancer WORSE in the long run and to INCREASE the number os fatalities:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/07/05/ chemotherapy-may-spread-cancer-trigger-aggressive-tumours-warn/
Summary: the poison in chemotherapy in the short run visibly shrinks the tumor, but in the long run weakens the body and opens more pathway for the cancer to metasticize, meaning that while the original tumor may not kill you, eventually cancers will spread elsewhere in the body, where they WILL kill you. These stats are never included in the success/not-success ratio of chemotherapy. But it may turn out that chemo has been partly responsible for the massive increase in cancer deaths in the 20th century.
Takeaway: NEVER TRUST THE MEDICAL PROFESSION TO BE OMNISCIENT. They are making shit up by the seat of the pants just like any normal people. And they make mistakes -- HUGE mistakes -- all the time.

There are people in the past, who were very very popular on reddit, but there is vague hint that they may have doxed someone in a comment, and they were banned. Gone.

I'm a physician. Most cancer treatments target rapidly dividing cells, which is what cancer is, but so are cells in the gut, liver, blood and hair so they are affected, too. Yes, it is true that averaged over all cancer patients, chemotherapy has not increased survival. But some individual cancers are treated remarkably well with chemo, so don't paint with too broad of a brush.

Maybe so, but did you read the link? A new study proved that chemo very often increased and accelerated metasticization of cancer cells -- much more so than previously thought. The study was specifically about breast cancer.

I guess that's why they are called medical practitioners.
I was very fortunate with my cancer-they were able to freeze the tumor both times, and I didn't need chemo or the biologic treatments. But when you hear the C word (not Clinton), you panic. You go to worst case scenario, and then look for any and everything to make the tumor/malignancy go away.
In Greece, there was a vile snake oil salesman who preyed on desperate cancer sufferers, promising them miracle cures, and merely injecting them with B-12. I had to process getting their remains back to the US. It was heart wrenching. But these were desperate people, hoping to have a little more life, and time, with their loved ones.
But, it's always, ALWAYS good to get a second opinion, and look at all the options before you settle on only one treatment.

Very true. Chemotherapy is a cure as awful in some ways as the disease it is trying to cure but when it works, it is wonderful. Especially pediatric leukemia - my 9 year old niece just completed almost a year of chemo for leukemia, lost all her hair, missed an entire year of school and just being a kid, but she is in remission now. And for that we are so thankful.

Her hospital and oncologist had a Cyber-Knife machine that could pinpoint with laser precision the proper removal of the tumors. That plus Tarceva (chemo in a pill.) gave her 5 years with a pretty good quality of life, all things considered.
Chemo and radiation worked best for her, but each situation will be different. YMMV.

Yes, it is true that averaged over all cancer patients, chemotherapy has not increased survival. But some individual cancers are treated remarkably well with chemo, so don't paint with too broad of a brush.
I had Stage 2B testicular cancer. Untreated it spreads through the lymph nodes and then into the lungs. 100% chance of death in ten years untreated. 95% relative survivor rate (meaning it's adjusted for people who die for non-cancer reasons) over five years with treatment.

President Trump is a WRECKING BALL.
President Donald Trump has up-ended the Democrat party, up-ended the Republican party, and now is up-ending, arse-over-tea-kettle, the Fake News Media Complex.

That they spend an inordinate amount of time being critical of him for whatever at the expense of real news coverage?
Not that it matters because in most cases they've precious little credibility left so their "news" coverage won't be taken at face value anyways. But I digress.
My point is that CNN is doing a fine job discrediting themselves and there must be a way to get the other cables to follow suit and go bezerkers against Trump too. Shouldn't be hard. Perhaps the president doesn't want to go all-in against fox and msnbc simultaneously, but it would be fun.
I haven't paid much attention, but in a competitive market, the other cables would be trying to crush CNN to grab market share. Have they? That says a lot.

How a tweet from the "fever swamps of the internet" could get to the "President's desk" ?
Are you SHITTING me ? Do they have NO idea how Twitter even works ? The guy could, first, simply tweet it directly TO Trump. Or you could just put a Trump hashtag in it to tag him. There are innumerable ways that it could make it's way to Trump's Twitter feed (i.e. not his "desk" you dipshits). And that's without considering the intervention of any other single person, of which there are likely THOUSANDS of which could re-tweet something that would then make it's way to Trump's twitter feed.

1) I love your posts. You are one of my favorite commentators
2) I am an MD
3) That article (and I havent actually looked at the study its based on) is talking about 2 drugs for one cancer type. Lets not generalize to all forms of chemo just yet.
4) It has always been known that chemo in various situations can have lethal side effects including the productions of other malignancies. There is always a tradeoff.
5) However, in many, many situations, chemotherapy is effective in either curing cancer, treated remissions, or at least prolonging life.
6) The use of chemotherapy in any given situation always has pluses and minuses and that is why an oncologist is key to go over treatment options before any treatment is started and it is often helpful to get a second opinion.
7) For a specific example, chemotherapy is remarkably effective in treating testicular cancer (example - Lance Armstrong, who had metastases to his brain and recovered enough to be at the top of his sport (with a little help from other pharmaceuticals - allegedly)).

The cable news shows have out-sized influence because they're an integral part in how MSM manufactures news. Themes and memes get launched and then get repeated until they become Accepted Truth.
Here's a recent example: "The current anti-OCare legislation will make drastic cuts to Medicare." (In fact, spending would go up, but at a lower rate.)
They've been an integral part of the Obama Echo Chamber. And they've been attacking Trump relentlessly for over a year.

As a Texan, I actually thought it was a pretty good article, and yeah, that was a pretty accurate blow by blow account of the just concluded legislative session. One of the big not so often talked about political problems in Texas is that the Governor is pretty conservative, and now the Senate is too, but the Texas House is still run by the GOP-e, which is dedicated to watering down or flat out killing most anything the Governor and the Senate want to do.
And you gotta account for the fact that it was written by a typical old school Austin Liberal who palled around with Ann Richards - these are the people we have been fighting our whole lives, and who we have been beating solidly for 30 years now, and they are all real butt hurt about it. But we're real used to them.
And there was some stuff in there about a guy named Morrow, who is a testament as to how easy it used to be to get a job in the GOP here. Yeah, he is a type that pops here in Texas with regularity. He got kicked out of office when it finally came out that he was a total nutcase. And yes, in his recent filing to run again for Texas GOP Chairman, he really did write: "I like Big Titties. I am a proponent of Boobyliciousness."
Yeah, that's Texas for ya.

What dawned upon me about the New Yorker guy's article: the author makes absolutely *no* attempt to empathize and understand why there are now so many "social and conservative populists, who thought that government was the problem."
No attempt to understand the feelings of governmental overreach to the average "proles", from the DMV to the state Medicaid programs from puddles turned into precious wetlands to transgender bathrooms.
Instead, Larry the author just sneers at the proles some more.
Remember when Bill Clinton tried, and with media cover, succeeded, at painting himself as a "New Democrat" who understood that "The era of Big Government is over"??? That got him into office, and gave him two terms.
Assholes like this Lawrence Wright guy can't do that at all. And if they keep it up, they will guarantee Trump in 2020, Pence in 2024, and Republican majority Houses and Senates and State legislatures all the way through.

So that kind of claptrap just goes in one ear and out the other now - he just wrote what the Texas Monthly and the Dallas Morning News and the Houston and San Antonio and whatever outlets have been writing for the last 23 years, and we voters just look at them like your crazy old communist uncle that no one takes seriously anymore, but sometimes he can still make you laugh with his old "pull my finger!" routine.
What struck me about the article is that I think Lawrence Wright was actually extremely "Right" in his diagnosis - what is happening to the nation today is exactly the change that we in Texas have been fighting for over the last 23 years. And part of it is that you never completely win, and the press never really gets better, but eventually you just get enough political power accumulated to do the things you want to do and tell the progs to go pound sand, which they will do for the rest of their lives.
The Texas Democrats biggest mistake (and you can tell Wright still doesn't realize it was a mistake) was to consciously turn themselves into the Black and Hispanic party, because they believed Demographics guaranteed them a long term win if they can do it. They can't figure out why it isn't working, not to this day, and they also don't realize that they've gone so far down that road that now they can't turn back. (To be fair, they are the Black and Hispanic and Liberal University Professor Party)
I see National Democrats doing the same thing.

The way to figure out the relations is to go to the first shared ancestor, term the relation by the direct connection of that person and the closest of the two in question, and then count each generation the other is below as "removed". So, first cousins share a grandparent. Second cousins share a great grandparent, ... SIblings, of course, share a parent.
The child of my first cousin is my first cousin, once removed since we share my grandparent and he is once removed down to that person being his great-grandparent.
"Uncle" is a special term made up to describe a sibling (which is a zeroth-cousin) once-removed.
Cousins are more often than not are "removed" (that is to say, they are off-diagonally situated relative to you.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Cousins are removed if the common ancestor shares a different relation to one than the other (as stated above, grandparent of one, great-grandparent of the other, etc.). It's not a matter of more often or anything.
"Removal" just means the descendants of a relation who shares an ancestor with me in the same manner (i.e. shared great-grandfather to both of us). So, the kids of my first cousins are my first cousins, once removed. And their kids are my first cousins, twice removed. But my kids and my first cousins kids are second cousins (shared great-grandfather).

That's well beyond "death panels". Death panels just deny treatment. This is disallowing treatment. This is more of a forced execution.

It's the mindset of the government: we decide what health care you can and cannot get, regardless of who pays for it.
Someone getting care that is not approved, should it work/benefit the patient could be used to say that they *should* approve and/or cover it. That, and like government types tend to think they own you earnings, have ultimate say over your property also tend to then think they have ultimate say over your body.

It's not merely the one baby.
My understanding is that if you're an adult cancer patient on the NHS, and there's a drug that's routinely indicated and used elsewhere for your condition, but that the NICE panel considers too expensive for the likes of you, not only are you officially not allowed to buy that med for yourself out of pocket, but if they catch you doing so off the books, they'll discontinue all other NHS expenditure and treatment on your behalf.
The argument for this seems to be Because Fairness.

There are a lot of urban school districts now where the school "opens" even during those calendar blocks when school is officially out, to allow the pupils access to the cafeteria and the free meals.
Because expecting parents to actually ensure that their own children have been fed is apparently too heavy a burden.

Same parents -- sibling
Share two grandparents -- first cousin
Share two great grandparents -- second cousin
Removed is for half steps -- e.g. my first cousins kids
Half blood is for when you only share a single parent, or one grandparent, etc.
I know an Irish double cousin family from The Bronx. Two brothers married two sisters. It's not incest, but it means you share just two grandparents, not four, so you're nearly as likely to share traits with a cousin as you are with a sibling. In this case, one family had 10 kids and the other just two, which led to inter-family hilarity.

Ha!
Yeah. And my understanding of how the first/second cousin thing and the 'removeds' works is what you said.
I think of it this way:
"(First) Cousins" are defined as sharing grandparents.
"Second Cousins" are defined as sharing great-grandparents.
Offspring of your cousin (or second cousin, etc.) are 'removed', one for every generation down (i.e. child of cousin = once removed, grandchild - twice removed, etc.)
It hurts to think about it at first, but it gets easier!

Yep. Remember that whole Terri Schiavo mess here, and how nasty many were about that? Now remember that Brits on the whole are WAAAAY less caring about their fellow Britons as we are (in the abstract, at least) of our fellow Americans. That's what we got here, I think.
I'll bet there's more public sympathy for this baby in the US than in the UK. Hell, probably more in France than in the UK.

An uncle is just a sibling, once removed. A great uncle is a sibling, twice removed. A great uncle, once removed, is a sibling, thrice removed.
Just to set the record straight.

I get your point, but that is not a generaly used term in genealogy. The term great-uncle define the generational distance. Dad's brother is an uncle, granddad's is a great uncle, etc.
My Dad's first cousin is my first cousin, once removed. As is my first cousin's child. It denotes the degree of connection to a common ancestor.

Does the NYPD use hyperintelligent bees to spy on unsuspecting New Yorkers?

Heh, that sounds suspiciously similar to the plot of the very last episode of Season 3 of "Black Mirror", which I binged via Netflix.

Il Fatto Quotidiano suggested that Pope Francis was infuriated by the news and may force Coccopalmerio into retirement.
For what?

And that is your sign to step in and say:
"I totally understand. The Kremilin hacked everyone's credit cards before the election and is tracking every single purchase you make. That's why you should only pay cash."
/try not to giggle. It will be fun, since NO ONE pays cash any more.
Posted by: shibumi at July 05, 2017 07:17 PM (aT+Bx)
I agree. But the original reason I wrote that was only to say that you would never use "removed" with any sort of uncle-type classification. It would either be a greater sort of uncle or a removed sort of cousin.

Actually, I think it was manipulation. He wanted to create a frothing at the mouth, out of control, get him back at any cost group of "journalists." Well, that's exactly what he got. And, obviously, they are easier to play, discount and waylay as a result.

I worked for sale major software company for the last 14 years of my career and everyone pronounced it "jif."
I don't really care but I'm going with how I've heard it pronounced hundreds of times for everyone from software developers to web developers to marketers to writers.
