Democrats on Stage [KT]

whiteyyy.jpg

Democrats take a gamble that
America is finally ready for a rich white president

Well, it has been an interesting week. It was inspiring to see the candidates unite the Democratic Party at the last debate, don't you think?

Mike Bloomberg had dismissed the previous debate, in which he did not participate, as good theater. The thespian background of Mike Bloomberg has recently been highlighted. I had not known about Bloomberg's role as Mary Poppins, for example. He's a natural.

Perhaps this is one of the things that inspired a member of The Horde, The Invisible Hand, to make a suggestion to SNL. Well, that along with Bloomberg's newly-discovered farming expertise:

If SNL weren't run by a bunch of talentless biased hacks, they would readily see how an on point parody of "Green Acres", using Bloomberg and team as cast, would effortlessly write itself.

Of course, Bloomy in the Eddie Arnold protagonist role. A fish out of water -- such an apt fit for Mike "Is it BLOOM or BLUM" Bloomberg. Just Act Naturally...

And remember that the idea of Hillary as his running mate was floated.

Hillary as Eva, utilizing her constant supply of misused and patronizing dialects, so that she can more easily pretend to communicate with deplorable folk as they gum their oatmeal for dinner.

How about the very attractive Leslie Jones in the Hillary role?

Good idea. Got to keep up with casting trends in Hollywood. I'm sure that couple would be a real natural in a little on-stage farming community.

Bri Stelter as Arnold the Pig. Period.

Joe Biden as Fred Ziffel, owner of Arnold the Pig, along with wife, Doris.

Which of the other candidates could be Doris?

gaccres1.jpg

I see George Soros in a dynamic cameo appearance as Mr. Haney. He's a perfect Mr. Fix kinda character. He's just clearing paths for the future of the South. Yep, yep, yeppers.

And lastly, for this SNL parody of a "Green Acres" Reunion episode, Ralph Monroe as 1st gay person in the history of Hooterville. History made in Hooterville -- somewhat profound, in retrospect.

gaccres2.jpg

Got any other ideas for an SNL skit that would help the candidates appear more down-home?

There have been some other comedic moments leading up to this week, as well. Steven Hayward even posted a special "Mid-week in Pictures" this month.

Feb. 5: Special Edition Mid-week in Pictures

Joe Biden: "Did I win yet?"

Feb. 8: Mega-Trumpy Edition

You have to really admire Trump, does anyone realize that he just made all the Democrats attend Rush Limbaugh's award ceremony?

Feb. 15: Dog Faced Pony Soldier Edition

"Democratic Socialists were sent by God." "Why? Was he out of locusts?"

Feb. 22: Caucasoid Caucus Edition

Mike Bloomberg: "I would like to purchase a different question."

21 SNL could also do a version of Hollywood Squares with the candidates in boxes.

Well, should they? I'm nearly 50 and I don't remember much about Green Acres, frankly. Very few people in their audience will know that show or get any of the references. SNL is a show very much fixed in it's age demographic of 18-29.

If I remember correctly, he was the one who exposed Obama's ties to Muslim Brotherhood, and also reported that his many years of work investigating terror cells in the U.S. was purged from the system.

RE: Paper ballots. Nothing wrong with paper.

Utah election auditor apparently thinks she is smarter than the MIT researchers, knows nothing about computer security, can't think outside of the box, and seems to be unaware of the post office. Yet she is confident the benefits outweigh the risks.

From https://tinyurl.com/uhp7jnl
====================
But Amelia Powers Gardner, a Utah County, Utah, election auditor who supervised her county's rollout of the Voatz system for disabled voters and service members deployed overseas, told CoinDesk that at least some of the bugs the researchers found cannot be exploited in practice.

"[The researchers] weren't able to substantiate these claims because they were never able to actually connect to the Voatz server," Powers Gardner said. "So in theory they claim that they may have been able to do these things, and only on the Android version, not the Apple version."

She said the MIT researchers' effort comes from "what ifs, and perhaps, and maybes that, frankly, just haven't panned out," and that the app had since been patched.

For Powers Gardner, Voatz's benefits far outweigh any security risks. She said the software is a far better alternative for otherwise disenfranchised voting groups than the current technological solution: email.

83 Roger Stone news, nicely played.

Stone is trying to get the Judge thrown off the case and he has a really good rationale.

The Judge will be one who decides if the Jury Forman, who was clearly biased, tainted the Jury.

But the Judge, in her long remarks during the sentencing blew it and said the 'jury served with integrity'.

Thus showing her bias on that very pertinent legal question, because she has already made a statement on the subject, before hearing any evidence on the question.

Anything connected to the internet will be eventually hacked.

Just as every code can be broken given enough time and effort.

Its all a question of whether the time and resources are worth the goal.

And I would say, deciding who is the most powerful Politician in the World? is a goal most would got to great lengths to attain.

(Oh, and for background, Retired USN Electronic Tech, where I dealt with Cryptography, and the computers Command Centers, and after retirement was a longtime network engineer, who worked in security software development shops, as well as teaching IT security).

97 A late note to those shocked by Eastwood's preference for Bloomberg:

Clint gave us the Empty Chair, went way out on a limb for us. I give him a pass for now.
Posted by: t-bird

No. He went out on a limb for Mitt Romney.

That, my friends, is what's known as "a tell".
Posted by: Brother Cavil Tim at February 22, 2020 12:09 PM (CUU+W)

Well-stated, but still. Eastwood is 90 and has given us a lifetime of great film-making, both as an actor and director.

Yes, he supported Romney in '12----as did MOST of us.

But he still put himself on the chopping block for dissing the Messiah.

A distinction without a difference. Bloomie, like all the others, thinks that he's one of the "elite" who should have the power to tell us peasants how we should live our lives. He may not share their Marxist label, but he definitely shares their contempt for us.

187 the utility guys here told me that a couple years ago farmers had a lot of wet corn, and a lot of transformers got blown from so much use of the fans in the bins. Real old transformers ... just got overwhelmed.


So I'm wondering if in CA, when they limit power,if they might overwhelm and burn out some transformers, as everyone tries to catch up when power goes back on.


But the (commie) greenies like to limit supply, since they are not so good at producing things. Power to the People.

After getting out of the service and hoboing around for a couple of years, I went back to school. I was dead broke, I mean really broke. I did not have an alarm clock, but I did have a little 12" B&W TV, and a Radio Shack appliance timer. So, the TV was connected to the timer, and every morning would switch on the TV at 8:00 to wake me up. What was on? Why Green Acres. Every morning.

216 It was as predictable as anything, and predicted by everyone, but it does seem the control/purging/hiding of content on the twatters for political reasons is ramping up as an election year unfolds.

I think Barr mentioned Section 230 the other day, in a way that indicated he's also thinking it's time to revisit the issue of big internet platforms having immunity while also clearly suppressing certain viewpoints and info.

Don't see any chance for legislative action, and the issue is much more the oligopoly/effective monopoly situation.

And also would not be surprised if, by August, the twatters at least (Farcebook seems to have backed off a bit and appears to attempt the appearance of neutrality, from what I gather) will be basically a DNC/NPR/NYT extension.

Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2020 01:32 PM (El6T/)

217 These are fascinating to read, just a few short years later:

Politico:

---------------------------------------
Asserting, specifically, that November's election will be "rigged" is, all at once: the musing of a candidate who often gives credence to conspiracy theories; a talking point aimed at a disaffected electorate; a presidential candidate, following a dip in the polls, contemplating defeat; an effort to delegitimize the democratic process that could bring that defeat to bear; and a thinly veiled threat by a litigious billionaire to contest such an election result in court.

....

In this context, Trump floating the idea of a stolen election or fraud in urban areas looks more like a candidate already planting the seeds of an explanation for an eventual loss.

"On some level, he knows he's running a scam on the Republican Party," said Stuart Stevens, the chief strategist on Romney's 2012 campaign. "They put more Trumps onstage at RNC than Hispanics. At some level, he knows this is a con, just like when he said Trump University would make you rich and he knew it wouldn't.

"He's just preparing himself for the humiliation of defeat. His problem is he doesn't have a pre-nup with voters - they get to decide. He can't rig it in advance. The whole idea of a guy who inherited a company, inherited all his wealth, and is now talking about a 'rigged system'? He is the poster child of a rigged system living on Fifth Avenue."

233 WTFF? DNI has an "election threats" position, a person whose job is specifically to oversee this mysterious "threat" area?

Apart from technical threats, to systems that should not even be as electronic as they are, for general purposes of security, WhyTF is taxpayer $ being wasted on this "threat"?

Every angle is already covered (for example, in the case of *actual* involvement of a foreign power in campaign, unlike the *synthetic* simulated involvement with Trump '16, counter-intel and multiple other angles and entities to handle them have long existed).

This whole area is a leading example of the dumbing down of America in general. Election integrity in much of America is garbage already, for reasons entirely domestic. In ways that actually effect outcomes. No foreign entity can even theoretically alter an outcome the way it's already been happening in places like Philadelphia, Wayne County MI, Cook County IL, even King County WA state.

That this whole concept isn't dismissed with contempt, and the real problems screamed about, is a pathetic confirmation of a brain-dead public square in the country.

Chinese construction work in Qum (Iran) seems to have started things there. Campbell's contacts tell him 760 suspected cases in Iran in 6 cities.
Absolutely NO cases in North Korea. Really ...

294 KT - kudos on an excellent thread! It took me a while to get through all the hilarious content. Bloomie as the Squire of Green Acres is brilliant! Amy Klobuchar as Arnold's mom, and I like Cookie Milano as Oliver's wife. Instead of making hotscakes, she's always complaining about Trump and tweeting about her attendance at every sideshow that's supposed to take him down.

295 Yo raimondo, union members have the sweetest "private" insurance you could ever dream of. Bernie will wipe his withered old ass with all that. Get in line, comrade. The minimum-wage imported "doctor" may see you soon.

299 ok who put marry poppins and corona virus in my head?

spittle drops on doorknobs and pathogens on kittens
girls in white tyvek and blue nitrile mittens
brown body bags tied up with string
these are a few of the virusy things

cream colored lung puss and crisp hacking students
welded over doorways and facemarks for the prudent
fevers, false negative test kits, aerosols on the wind these are a few of the virusythings

bright plastic bubbles and positive pressure scuba goggles that press on my nose and eyelashes white silver incinerator smoke that melts into spring these are a few of the virusythings
when the cruise ship is a petri dish and plumbing is suspect I simply remember to self quarantine so my death won't scare the neighbors
but please feed my cat bum bum bum.
