Quick Hits: Time's Up for Time's Up Head Tina Tchen

It's not just that they are frivolous people -- many people are frivolous.

It's not just that they are stupid people -- many people are stupid, and many of them are good and valuable.

It's that they're evil people. Evil people who use frivolity to push evil onto the world.

...

The mastermind behind a terrorist bombing in Bloomington, Indiana now says that he's a woman and that gender dysphoria, along with reading "conservative blogs," prompted the attack.

Given that he bombed a mosque, am I allowed to call him by his correct gender?

...

The head of Time's Up, Tina Tchen, has been forced to resign after the revelation that the head of an organization supposedly established to "Believe All Women" and hold their harassers to account actually told her organization to "stand down" with respect to accusations against Andrew Cuomo -- that is, ignore the allegations in order to support Cuomo.

A Washington Post story published yesterday revealed that Time's Up, the group founded to fight harassment against women in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, had held its tongue when an accuser came forward with allegations about Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Text messages show that Time's Up chief executive Tina Tchen told her colleagues to "stand down" from a plan to release a public statement supporting Cuomo’s first accuser, Lindsey Boylan, after two people connected to the group spoke with Melissa DeRosa, the governor's longtime adviser.
...

Eventually the Post story reveals that the decision not to support Boylan came in conjunction with advice from a board member who is part of a Democratic PR firm. The concern was that a statement supporting Boylan would give Fox News an excuse to run a story that might catch on. Defending abusers to own the cons.

That board member? Democrat flack Hilary Rosen, of the Democrat-aligned crisis communications/PR firm SKDK, which represents Democrats in trouble or those seeking publicity. Like Sandra Flook.

If the name Tina Tchen seems familiar -- well, it should. I put off mentioning this to let your memories recall where you last heard the name.

In addition to being Michelle Obama's former Chief of Staff, Tina Tchen seems to have become an all-around sleazy fixer for Democrats in trouble with the law. It was she who helped put the fix in for Jussie Smollett, by putting corrupt Chicago DA Kim Foxx in touch with Smollett's well-connected relatives.

In 2019, Tchen reached out to Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to put her in touch with actor Jussie Smollett’s family after Smollett reported that he was a victim of an attack in River North.
Tchen passed Foxx's number to a relative of the actor, and the ensuing conversations with the family member were cited as to why Foxx recused herself from Smollett’s prosecution when he was initially charged.

Foxx did not recuse herself; she pretended to recuse herself.

So that's your filthy-dirty, favor-trading, political fixing Democrat Party.

They care so much about women. And racism. And everything.

How many minutes do you think will pass until she's guaranteed her next well-paid sinecure at her next Democrat front organization?

I bet it wasn't even 60 minutes. They won't announce she's the new head of Democrat Front Group #239 until she's had time to cool down as far as bad publicity, but I would bet any amount of money that her next job has already been taken care of for her.

...

Via Mis. Hum. in the sidebar -- RFK's assassin Sirhan Sirhan has been released from prison -- after two of RFK's children asked for his release.

I will not condemn them. But society has been turned upside-down by the left. Law-abiding citizens are harassed by the government, and assassins that changed the course of history (at least for a while) are free to do as they will.

More, via Instapundit:

Douglas Kennedy, who was a toddler when his father was gunned down in 1968, said he was moved to tears by Sirhan Sirhan's remorse during a parole hearing that prosecutors didn't attend.
"I'm overwhelmed just by being able to view Mr. Sirhan face to face," he said.
"I think I’ve lived my life both in fear of him and his name in one way or another. And I am grateful today to see him as a human being worthy of compassion and love."

I've changed my mind. I think I will condemn them.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has spoken in favor of Sirhan's release in the past, also wrote in favor of paroling Sirhan.
Sirhan --who smiled as Kennedy spoke -- told members of the California Parole Board that he'd learned to control his anger.

Well that's just terrific.

...

Shockingly, Twitter omnipresence and sanctimonious social media scold S.E. Cupp has anxiety issues.

For the past week I've been stuck in a deep black hole of anxiety, a kind I've never felt before. It’s been exhausting.

You're exhausting. You exhaust the people around you. People like you vomit your craziness and anger and stress on to everyone around you.

Before I continue, let me say at the outset that I am getting treatment. I'm taking steps to limit my exposure to triggers. I have not yet asked my employers for time off, but I very well may.
I've always been a worrier -- the kind Woody Allen movies and Larry David sitcoms affectionately portray as "neurotic," or as go-getters might spin as "Type A."

I'm going with, "Hysterical Karen looking for things to be upset about in order to feel alive."

She's come down with anxiety because she has so much empathy that she takes the world's pain unto herself. Kind of like Jesus, if Jesus had a little-watched show on CNN and preached to his flock through Sick Twitter Burnz.

I also started obsessively transferring the pain of others onto myself. It wasn't hard to find subject matter -- I covered things like war, genocide, oppression. It wasn’t long before every child victim of the Syrian war was my child. Every mother fleeing Myanmar was me. Every family separated at the border was mine.
That can be useful -- I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of empathy. But at times it could be debilitating. I leaned on friends who also worked in those difficult spaces, and attempted to compartmentalize.

Did you apologize to those around you for splashing your manic anxiety on them?

Nah, right?

The increasing divisiveness of American politics was also disorienting and traumatic. Once friends were now political foes; the things I thought we all cared about were no longer important to many; things like facts and truth and science were perverted purely as an exercise in manipulation and political gain; institutions have been and continue to be attacked and eroded by the very people charged with protecting them.

Yes it's everyone else's fault that you turned friends into foes. See, they just "stopped caring about 'truth' and 'science.'"

Then, in the midst of a deadly pandemic, worrying about things we once took for granted -- going outside, going back to school, traveling -- now had a proper purpose. Indulging my anxieties during Covid felt good and appropriate.

I'll bet it did, Karen.

Worrying about my job, my kid, my parents, my town, my community, my country all felt totally deserved. I leaned in.
But suddenly, the anxiety I nurtured and cultivated over the years became an absolute monster during this perfect storm -- pandemic, politics, problems.
...
In the past week, simple things have become impossible. Making a decision, from what to buy at the grocery store to which words to use in a conversation, is agonizingly difficult. Racing thoughts make sleep impossible. A video of a boy on a ventilator sparked a panic attack while running errands. I am simultaneously overwhelmed with emotion and completely disassociated from my body.

She cares too much, guys.

While I knew instinctively to limit my news and social media intake, it's my job to pay attention. So as I prepared to write this morning, the headlines were assaulting:
"COVID-19 cases among kids keep rising."
"Wildfires ravage California and Greece."
"Cuomo report triggering emotions for other sexual harassment victims."
...

Asking anyone to function amidst a steady diet of this kind of news is a heavy lift. Today, I could barely manage to click on the links.

Look, I had an anxiety-related disorder -- panic. It was a debilitating thing and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

But...

I find it hard to generate too much sympathy for someone whose plight is, "I get triggered from Twitter but I can't stop checking Twitter because I use it to feel my unearned sense of superiority and my unbearable moral sanctimony."

Turn off Twitter, then.

I know what she'd say. In fact, she's already said it: "But I HAVE TO look at twitter for my woorrrrk!"

Um how did people "do their jobs" before Twitter?

Addicts always have a list of reasons why they have to continue taking the drug they're addicted to.

And: I mean, the cliches here. Stick-up-her-ass wealthy white woman gets triggered by her social media addiction and uses it an excuse to lash out at others and bask in her asserted superiority.

It's less a mental condition than a carefully-curated identity.

How many other NeverTrumpers do you think have this exact same type of neurotic/hysterical personality disorder? 75%? 90%? 100%?

Turn off twitter. Power down the phone. Talk to human beings, and not only via texts. (That's not "talking." Communicating yes, but not talking.)

Go outside. Go for a walk. See the sun through your eyelids. Be present in the world. The real world. Not the fake Twitter/FaceBook world.

Do anything in which success or failure is not measured by retweets or likes or "ratios."

Whatever. JUST STOP WITH THE TWITTER ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY.

is an Iranian whose family got into Canada many years ago lying that they were Afghan refugees [ironically enough].

She just made a speech where she called the Taliban "our brothers" while asking them to allow "our" Afghans to leave the country unmolested that she claims was just a turn of phrase in addressing fellow Moslems and, as I've been mockingly commenting elsewhere on the 'net, saying "it's like using 'dude' here, dude!"

Bloomington is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but there was still some industry (Crane or Krane was one) while I was still there. They have built a new interstate to connect Indianapolis to the ne and Evansville to the SW so that is making it easier to commute.

Plus, Bloomington has the advantage of having a lot of services you do not see out in the country (although I look at them now as cold comfort.)

How many bullets were fired and from how many guns? What happened to the door frame? If his consistent lack of memory of the incident a ploy, or does it lean towards brainwashing.

And before you dismiss this as hogwash, what once was foolishness is not fact in many parts of life.

Capitol police wave MAGA into the Capitol. Byrd is barricaded in the House chamber with members of Congress. The radio is filled with sporadic reports of gunfire, pipe bombs, officers with fingers blown off, gas, thrown projectiles. Were any of them true? Were they reports of panicked cops? Fake reports by FBI or other feds to spook the cops into shooting someone? Byrd doesn't know. He knows what he hears on the radio, they are shooting people, violent, using gas, and he sees the mob coming toward the glass doors prodded on from behind by his fellow officers.

These things like panic and other things that go on are real and yes they can be debilitating. But they don't need to be life ending. You sort them out, buck up and move on. The owner of this blog, Ace, could have become a pathetic hulk instead Ace built one of the greatest dead modern publications on the planet.

The real problem is when these things become the center part of your life and and then demand, and when necessary go off the rails and pitch a fit, that everyone worship you for whatever the fuck is bothering you.

I don't admire people that are handed challenges, I admire people that rise above them, and I despise people that wallow in them and then throw a chain around everybody's neck and then drag them into the abyss.

And yes, for the record I do have issues as anyone that has followed my comments knows. Especially when it comes to 20th century American music.

155 It isn't fair to the taxpayer either to force them to provide three hots and a cot and sex change operations and the rest of it into perpetuity either.

The quickest execution I'm aware of, in 1932 someone tried to shoot then president elect FDR, who was in Miami w/ Chicago mayor Tony Cermak. FDR wasn't hit, but Cermak was, and died after lingering for about two weeks. They swapped out to a murder trial midstream. The perp was found guilty and executed. Total elapsed time?

Thirty two (32) days.

Now of course today, and this bears watching, whatever the leftists hate (because they don't control) if they suddenly start extolling the virtues of Ol Sparky, watch out. They don't hate guns, they LOVE guns, it's just they hate you.

This is my struggle. I oppose the death penalty, not on any ethical or moral grounds such as the sanctity of life, but because I just don't trust the government that much.

But if we stroke the death penalty, we have to have Nearsider prison rules: You turn big rocks into little rocks for the duration of your stay. No cable, no conjugal visits, no internet. I'm okay with a non-fiction library, but that's it.

And that will never happen, so, death penalty it is.

176 Had a great time on a very mini vacation in PA at an amusement park in PA-Knoebels in Elysburg, PA. I don' t like roller coasters but FenSon does they have two great wooden ones and another metal one, and a haunted house ride among lots of other rides, They also have a large outdoor pool with cool water slides. Some their rides weren't open because of a labor shortage but we still had a good time and as far as speaking to real people, I had a nice conversation with a guy wearing a cross and a shirt that said "International Association of Chaplains". He has been a chaplain to first responders and is also a hospice chaplain. I said I like to come to the park because in addition to having fun I see people there wearing crosses and having religious tee shirts. (Also, you pass farmhouses in rural PA with signs saying, "Give thanks to God in everything" or -at the top of a silo-"Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready?" Anyway, he said in his chaplaincy work with people he sees that many of them don't have a deep faith. I gave him June Hunt's Book "Hope-the anchor for your soul" in case someone he knows could benefit from it. So, yes, it is good to speak to real people.

Jen Psaki has to go in a take a bite and she's bitter about that, and that's why she's got the "go fuck yourselves, Americans!" attitude - she's gotta do something embarrassing so she's going to take it out on us and let us know it!

These people, the Obama Dems, they've always been about themselves, not America or some greater good...so when bad things happen to them, they damn sure make bad things happen to us...

Psaki and Obama and Sullivan and Klain, its all about themselves, not you and your crappy nation. There's no master PLAN to take over the world here, there is only a child's plan to make life good for themselves and their friends...and that is as far as their thinking takes them.

228 The truth is, you're not special. I'm not special. We're ordinary. Our generation is not going to Change The World. We don't deserve better. Like everyone else on earth that has ever existed throughout all time, we only get what we fight and strive and work to get, and sometimes we get nothing for all that. That's how life is, its not fair, its not just, its not kind, and we will never achieve true happiness here.

Ever.

Bad things are going to happen to you. WE DO NOT DESERVE BETTER.

240 I always take a nap and miss something good--in this case Buck's piece on corpos and the Chinese fail train. This is something I have some personal experience dealing with, as I used to be with a hardware company with a reputation for top quality product. Somewhere around 2013 the idiots that had recently taken over via merger decided that outsourcing everything was the bee's knees, and naturally they'd go with whichever contract manufacturer blew the most smoke up their asses. Engineering wound up spending 20 to 30 percent of its resources on cleaning up their messes--everything from things not assembled correctly to using the wrong electrical components and then wondering why stuff doesn't work. This all got escalated to R&D (and frequently software, because our team had enough of a GET SHIT DONE reputation that we were the first line of defense), and nobody was specifically assigned "deal with Chicom fuckery" as a job description so it meant burning through the continuation engineering budget on this bullshit and then pulling people off active projects.

Supposedly they learned their lesson and went back to in-house US manufacturing, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Yep, the best family in America was heroic for doing that to one of their little girls. And brave. Or something.

I agree entirely, and it breaks my heart. I was an FMF CSAR kid attached to Marine units throughout my time over there. It was different then. I know everyone says that about the olden times, but it was different then. Our mission was to destroy the enemy and get our guys home alive. The end.

Training and procedure reviews don't stop the enemy from wanting to kill you, so you have to kill them first. Until leadership recalls that salient fact, Marines will die along with the rest of us.

After Rosemary was mildly sedated, "We went through the top of the head," Dr. Watts recalled. "I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue.

That's more than so many of my peers... When I get super dark, I try to claw myself back with some of that.

Posted by: rhennigantx at August 27, 2021 05:51 PM (yrol0)

Not all gas stations have 12 or more pumps. My local small-town station has 2 gasoline, 2 Diesel. And some EV charge sites have multiple hookups.

But what really matters is throughput. My little 2-pump gas station can refuel a hundred vehicles in the time it takes to recharge one Tesla.
