Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Hope Solo Says That Megan Rapinoe Would "Almost Bully" Teammates Into Kneeling for the National AnthemHope Solo, who I almost want to call a Friend of the Blog (TM) for her popularity with some commenters, reveals the obvious: Social justice warriors are just bullies who've found a socially-permissible justification for their innate sociopathy. Former U.S. women’s national team player Hope Solo said during a podcast last week that she saw teammate Megan Rapinoe "almost bully" players into kneeling for the national anthem. "I've seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way, but it's our right as Americans to do it in whatever way we're comfortable with," Solo said on "All of US: The U.S. Women's Soccer Show" last Tuesday. The former goalie described kneeling as "very divisive."Ryan Long points out that "woke" ideology has created a Golden Age for Sociopaths and Bullies. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

So you mean Rapinoe is a bully who uses pressure and threats to get people to behave the way she wants? Well, I am just shocked that the blue-haired and slightly feminine version of Martin Short - who has made her career kicking a ball while making sure it is damned clear that she'd rather be kicking balls - could possibly be a bully.
So, Hope, why not call her on it? Why not say, "Hey, Meg! Back it down. You do you, but we're a team on that field and in this locker room and your junior high mean girl bullying and other bullshit goes too far. Do you want to win games or do you want win interpersonal conflicts here in the locker room? Because I know I - and most of my teammates - want to win games. So cool it." C'mon, Hope. You ain't gonna get kicked off the team for standing up to a bully. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 17, 2021 01:14 PM (3p5uk) 35

Hope Solo stuck something up her ass, on camera. I think it was a bottle, if memory serves. Maybe it was a vegetable or something. Anyway, she stuck it up the butt on camera. And also (again, if memory serves), she did it at some crazy sex-party and didn't think it would go public. But what if she had done it in public? What if, after they won the ladies' gayball championship, she stuck a bottle in her ass on 5th Avenue while rainbow confetti fluttered in the sky? That's still less offensive than her crusty diesel-dyke teammate shitting on the whole country in front of the rest of the world.

Excuse me if I butt in here, but in the end, Rapinoe really is an asshole. I don't mean this as an end around or anything, but I really felt like she bent our team over, and really gave it to us in the squeekhole.

Posted by: Joe Mannix The Amazon river runs for thousands of miles. At some points, it runs through areas of the rain forest that are almost untouched and have been barely explored. Because of the porous limestone in these areas, the river water leaks through the stone and travels deep into the earth, and forms underground pools almost a mile below the surface. Over thousands of years, small blind transparent fish have lived and evolved in these pools. These fish have never seen the sun or surface and have never been seen by the human eye. These fish care more about Meagan Rapinoe than I do. Posted by: rickb223 at August 17, 2021 01:22 PM (pcp3j) 101

Wokeness has some good intentions. To avoid the denigration of marginalized people, for one.
However, the adult is not to excuse the vices of something with its "good intentions". Because, unless you're dealing with flat-out criminals, your opposition likely has some things that could be classified as good intentions as well. But "intentions" too often the bailey confused for some more particular motte. The CRT promoters say they're just trying to teach accurate history of the injustices against Africans and others. But you can teach history without race. Simply noting that for this group of era E race was important and decisive. To make the teaching of race about race is another thing entirely.

OT but current: I think the rapid takeover by the Taliban may also show how very very thin the veneer was over the (now previous) Afghan government, and the society at large. They probably remained pretty close to the Taliban all along, and/or are willing to sing whatever tune so long as they get something out of it financially.
I think this is true of a lot of the Muslim world. They can exist in a sort of go-along/get-along mode as long as life functions for them pretty well at the same time. But it's really easy for them to get a little pressure applied by the Taliban types and they all flip in an instant. This was the pattern over and over in Indonesia.

Question about the airplane pic in the previous thread:
Where is this airplane going to land? Are they taking the people to a nearby country and then move them onto more standard planes or are they flying them to the us as is? Just asking cause bathroom sitch is not too optimal. In case you are wondering, no i am not going to say anything about it being full of young Afghani men.

Interesting first press conference by Taliban in Kabul (lots of int'l press there, seems like a conventional set-up - so not everyone is desperately fleeing the place).
Lots of assurances of various things - amnesties, allowing female education up to university level, no hosting of "foreign fighters", etc. Of course AQ has been part of the operation for a while, so just what that one key assurance is supposed to mean isn't clear. And specially trained units that look 98% like US or US-trained conventional units (down to the use of gun-trucks, Humvees), which Talib had adverstized in videos for a while, now patrolling Kabul.

God commanded his chosen people to drive out and destroy every impure and idolatrous people from the land he had provided them, indeed He often ordered them to slaughter every man, woman and child of those idolatrous and impure people groups and burn every last vestige of their existence.
He commanded that because he knew that in cohabitating with sexual deviants, idolators, infant sacrificers, drunkards and hedonistic groups, that the chosen people would be infected with the ways of the damned. Explain to me whether or not you think God was right to ask Israel to kill off 'marginalized groups', and how Israel's failure to follow these commands ended up for the nation of Israel.

"How do you get someone like Solo to be in a position where a Rapinoe loses HER job instead?"
And it isn't just Hope Solo. Post Floyd, Saints QB Drew Brees dared to make what seemed like a pretty innocuous statement about supporting the flag and the American way, etc. and he was immediately blasted with a letter by newcomer to the team Malcolm Jenkins telling him he had lost all respect for Brees and warning him, "We aren't asking any more." And Jenkins was a player who had just been traded to the Saints. A good player but not exactly the future HOF QB who had previously led the Saints to the Super Bowland had been with the team for years. And IIRC not a single player on the Saints stuck up for Brees at all, let alone said something like, "Hey, Malcolm, maybe you need to log some time with this team before you tell us how to run things. We're trying to get back to the Super Bowl so why don't you shut your pie hole and focus on football until you've helped us do that." Circular firing squads suck. Worth thinking about this.

And IIRC not a single player on the Saints stuck up for Brees at all, let alone said something like, "Hey, Malcolm, maybe you need to log some time with this team before you tell us how to run things. We're trying to get back to the Super Bowl so why don't you shut your pie hole and focus on football until you've helped us do that."
Circular firing squads suck. Worth thinking about this. Posted by: RM at August 17, 2021 01:39 PM (U3LtS) Brees knew that his health depended upon his defensive line protecting him. Their silence told him that he couldn't rely upon them to keep the pocket safe. After that, capitulation was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Another interesting omen was the Daily Mail, who'd never covered a lockdown protest, even though they were plentiful and massive (100s of thousands in London streets; some say millions) started to insert small articles noting that there were lockdown protests, going on.

There is clearly an at least nominal show of non-insanity by the Taliban right now. In words. And, possibly, in *some* deeds.
I wouldn't consider permitting foreign evacuation to proceed part of this - I expected that, doing otherwise just invites trouble, incurs costs, and puts them in the hole with other countries from the start. But there's a jihadi equivalent of a "civil affairs" approach apparent, in specially trained units, in setting up hotlines to report criminal or abusive behavior. And now, the press conference where leadership formally claimed they will not pursue the things that made their predecessors infamous. Time will tell, but they've put up specific, concrete lines they pledged they will not cross, so evaluation won't be hard. Posted by: rhomboid (OTzUX) at August 17, 2021 01:45 PM (OTzUX) 313

"Interesting first press conference by Taliban in Kabul (lots of int'l press there, seems like a conventional set-up - so not everyone is desperately fleeing the place)."
I believe the plan for now is to show the "Kindler, gentler, side of the Taliban" to Western media. Why not? They can con Western governments and NGO's out of billions of dollars for humanitarian needs after 20 years of war. As to which side of the Taliban is being shown to Afghanis, out of sight of Western media...that may not be very kind and gentle. Posted by: Gref at August 17, 2021 01:50 PM (AMIL/) 357

It's like I leave my computer, venture out and things seem the way they should be...but I know they are not. I wonder how much that is felt by the people I see.

Sure it is being woke or diverse, but it goes back further than that. Americans often try to pronounce French and Spanish terms in another language, or at least half another language.

Love the Talib slam on Farcebook - and again, behold the state of America, when a leader of a Third World jihadi thug operation can - aptly - turn a question about freedom of expression back on a correspondent.
Not long ago a Taliban leader was asked a real, tough question by some foreign reporter (imagine that, in the US, under Obama or Biden). He was asked about the Taliban's relations with China, given China's genocidal treatment of Muslims. Like a seasoned western pol, he answered that relations with China were good, and that the Taliban were not going to dictate to China on its internal affairs. Which, to tie things up here, was actually *less* despicable an answer than that given by the Nike CEO in response to a similar question. So there's that.

I saw a couple of videos where black conservative men said that they couldn't talk politics with their families. They were expected to vote Dem. It's gotta be a tribal thing. Democrats were the party of slavery and they seem to just ignore that.
-- I'm a woman and supposed to vote D because that's what they say. And if I don't, I'm a submissive racist or something. The thing is, I very strongly reject being forced to think the "correct" way. Nobody will do my thinking for me. I wish blacks felt the same way, but they seem so very monolithic about nearly all they do. It's done as a group and anything outside that group is seen as heresy against their community. I don't understand it. Posted by: Lady in Black at August 17, 2021 02:07 PM (O+I8R) 509
451 "But come on....vote Republican? That's a bridge too far"
This is one of the reasons the GOP has to die and a new party take it's place. The branding is DOA. GOP stands for incompetence, cowardice and betrayal. Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at August 17, 2021 02:00 PM (49Exr) The timing is certainly right for a new party to come. All you need is the mailing infrastructure, a support network that won't be instantly neutered by Silicon Valley Tech CEO's, offices in every county run by capable staff, a few billion dollars, and oh - an actual leader who won't cuck once the Kristols and Frenchs send winky faces planning to infiltrate it and run it into the ground before it even begins.

449 Lots of ignorance aggressively peddled here, but that's not new. Tens of thousands of Afghan army casualties in the last few years. Of course it's complicated, so bumper sticker/micron-deep/Biden voter type approaches yield lots of stupid ignorant statements. Lots of "corruption" (i.e. "normal" sizing up of odds and self-interest by locals), lots graft, all the usual ills. But also lots of actual fighting and dying.
And, in the last 6 months, side-switching. For various reasons. Something that's been going on in A-stan, and elsewhere, for thousands of years.

but I was talking pronouncing foreign words and names. I am not sure why some say Sevilla when the English term is Seville. And Puerto Rico is another. It was always porto rico right up the the time it wasn't. A simple example is Ahnvelope for Envelope. I know that is a 50-50 thing and I am not saying one is right. But in Britain they say invelope. The classic is when they say "filit" for filet. But that is just one tiny example of how we go more for the foreign pronunciation. It is not wrong, it is just a difference.
