One Anecdote That Helps Explain the "Rage" Our Liberal Masters Don't Understand


Here is why Trump won:

1. People are sick of being bullied. Especially by sanctimonious assholes who offer no achievements or evidence of their moral or intellectual superiority other than mere assertion of it (or, more commonly: by a sort of pussy implication of it).

2. People are sick of being lied to all the time by people -- including the conservative media and establishment -- who clearly have an agenda when they offer allegedly "objective analysis." And that agenda is contrary to the interests of those they're supposedly trying to "help" think "better thoughts."

3. People are sick of the attitude from many that they have some special constitutionally-enshrined duty or #Privilege to "guide the thoughts of the lower orders," to make sure those uneducated "lower orders" do not have access to information that might cause them to "think wrong things and vote the wrong way."

And on that last point, this Class I'm talking about is largely the college educated, and the Twitterati, and the people who are super-proud to have relatively low-profile, low-paid jobs posting dreck online.

So listen to me, idiots:

Three things:

1. The fact that you have a college degree is no big deal. It's an "honor" shared by a mere 36% of the population. And frankly, many of you went to very non-prestigious schools, if we're going to be putting so many eggs in the credentialism basket.

And even those who went to the Better Schools: Nothing about attending college proves you learned a damn thing there. Or, more importantly: Have learned a damn thing since.

I went to college.

Know what most people in college are?

Fucking idiots. Just like everywhere else.

So stop aggrandizing your not-very-impressive non-credentials into some sort of Caste-Signifier conferring upon you the duty and #Privilege of thwarting the lower orders and making sure they don't think wrongthoughts.

2. The fact that you have a Twitter Account is even less of a big deal. Literally anyone can have one. Folowership is not mostly due to talent; it's due to simply filling the world up with more distracting, bullshit stupidities.

Having a Twitter presence doesn't mean you're important. Quite the opposite: There are Doers and Achievers, and then there are Twitter Jerkoffs.

If you were as important as you imagine yourselves to be, your time would be too precious to Jack Off until all hours of the night on Twitter.

There is no such thing as a "Twitter Elite" -- the very phrase is a contradiction in terms.

Try writing something that isn't a 140 character snap, Geniuses.

3. Last one: even if you do occasionally write online in something that resembles an essay, guess what?

You're an extremely peripheral commentator and, let's be honest, if you had genuine talent and reach, you'd be being paid by a more prestigious platform than your blog or magazine's blog extension.

And even if you are in the "regular media," so the fuck what? Having a job doesn't mean you're particularly good at it; it just means they needed a warm body to fill a seat and your ass looked like it might fit as well as any.

I include myself in all these by the way. (Except the regular media part-- obviously I'm not part of that.)

But then, I don't believe I have some kind of Caste Privilege to guide the thoughts of the disreputable, deplorable lower orders.

I don't think I'm special. I kind of despise myself for having such an incredibly low-level mediocrity of a non-career.

I wish some other people would similarly take a more realistic view of their own position in the hierarchy of all things, and stop imagining themselves to be some kind of important, super-influential and ultra-connected world-beaters shaping public opinion with each nimble strike of their Twitter Hammers.

Stop fucking being impressed with yourselves for things that aren't impressive in the least.

And on that point, O Thee Who Presume to Instruct the Lower Orders:

How do you idiots know you're not yourselves the lower order?

I mean, look objectively at your lives: In what deluded, egotistical way of thinking are you somehow part of the High Caste Elite burdened with the awesome responsibility of guiding your Lessers to good decisions?

Lessers? If you're on Twitter all the time, why are you so certain there's a huge pool of "Lessers" for you to lord over?

The intimidation factor from the Democrat Party, from the White House, the IRS, the DOJ, etc, down to the public schools, and you're liberal neighbors reached the tipping point.

54 Not for nothing, but even most people who hold advanced degrees are morons. You're supposed to be the expert in a very narrow slice of a field of study. Just because you are an expert (allegedly) in ONE thing, does not confer expert status in ALL things. But these fools don't get it. But they're fucking arrogant. Its amazing.
But the truly intelligent ones, are humble, because they know how little they actually know (and usually its a metric-fuckton more than you).

Part of the victory in this election is the victory of bloggers over the MSM in reaching people. That's a big deal, because it's a fundamental change to remove the gatekeepers of information. So, you've got that going for you.

99 The NYTimes is just being juvenile now by STILL REFUSING TO CALL ARIZONA AND MICHIGAN for Trump, even though 100% of all ballots are counted and he flat-out won both states.

They refuse to do it because to do so would put him over 300 Electoral votes, which would look like a "decisive mandate"-type victory.

So, like petulant children, they refuse to let go of the two last states, trying to spoil the party one last time.

As I get older -- as you know, I dread my long-upcoming 29th birthday -- one begins taking stock of what one has achieved compared to what one imagined one would achieve. Mid-life crisis, they call it, but it's not as silly as I imagined it to be; it's a needed thing that happens when Young People stop being young and realize they can't keep saying "Ill do that when I'm older" forever.

so it's not like i don't like you guys, or that I'm not appreciative of my fortunate state. (This is a pretty good job, honestly.)

It's just this is not my highest aspiration.

105 I'm going to really enjoy putting up the Christmas tree this year.

I have a very vivid memory, etched in my mind, of putting up the tree in December of 2012. I was very depressed and discouraged about where my country was headed. I kept up a cheerful front for my wife and kids, but I remember as I worked on the branches that I was deeply worried about what the coming years would bring to me and my family, and what kind of country my kids would grow up in.

And for the next four years, the same thing. I tried to be upbeat, but it got so I couldn't look at my beautiful tree without having that same feeling of dread and worry come flooding back.

I think Christmas is going to be much different this year. :-)

131 I kind of despise myself for having such an incredibly low-level mediocrity of a non-career.

While I understand (and share your disappointment) I think you're underestimating your influence and worth. And in any case, its usually the humblest jobs, done well, which are the best and noblest. A hard working plumber is far more meaningful than a politician or actor. The pay and prestige may be low, but the worth and dignity is higher.

The greatness of any position or work done -- as Mike Rowe so often reminds us -- is not its dollar value or celebrity cachet, but its dignity and worth to one's fellow man. Doing a humble job as well as you can trumps doing a high-profile mega bucks job sloppily.

132 And so how we proceed over the next year against these asswipes Ace is referring to is every bit as important as the election. We reject those #nevertrump pricks on the right, including those who swung to Trump at the last moment realizing the tide was against them, and we drive them down into irrelevance. Ace did a great job calling them out over the last several months and that needs to continue. Ace may argue he's just a warm body filling a seat but in reality he's a hell of a lot more than that to us readers. He's an important link in a chain that needs to strengthen and crush what's left of the debris out there.

Everything is dumbed down nowadays. Look at SAT scores. Back in the day, I never knew a single individual who scored 800 on any part of the SATs. It was unheard of, even in my grad school class at Berkeley (only one of whom has won a Nobel Prize, so far).

Now they've rejiggered the SATs so that it is not that uncommon anymore. Just like GPAs. An "A" meant you were in the top 10% of your class, and getting all "A"s was quite an achievement. Doing it for four years, and graduating with a 4.0, was a remarkable achievement.

Now kids all over the place get 5.0s. How is that possible? They get extra credit for some courses. What did they think we were doing back then - taking Fingerpainting 101?

Isn't deliberately plotting the death of people murder? Which has no statute of limitations?

But regardless, investigate and document, make it part of the historical record. People are still playing pretend about this, and effing everything else the left does.

And that is their *real* excuse for the IRS still persecuting their political foes - they're still pretending it never happened.

167 >>>I also know that I am glad I did the Army before college.


i really think college is wasted on the young. For one, they just got out of high school, 12 straight years of school, and are SICK of learning and reading and testing.

They're not in the mindset for it.

I really think, if we could arrange it this way, that people would work out of high school and THEN come back to college (if inclined) after say 6-10 years of work.

THEN they'd appreciate it.

I've mentioned this, but I'm learning again, and I actually like it, because it's not forced on me, and I had not done it (learned) in so long.

179 As I get older -- as you know, I dread my long-upcoming 29th birthday --
one begins taking stock of what one has achieved compared to what one
imagined one would achieve. Mid-life crisis, they call it, but it's not

Young People stop being young and realize they can't keep saying "Ill do
that when I'm older" forever.

243 >>>>>I also know that I am glad I did the Army before college.





i really think college is wasted on the young. For one, they just
got out of high school, 12 straight years of school, and are SICK of
learning and reading and testing.



They're not in the mindset for it.



I really think, if we could arrange it this way, that people would
work out of high school and THEN come back to college (if inclined)
after say 6-10 years of work.



THEN they'd appreciate it.



I've mentioned this, but I'm learning again, and I actually like it,
because it's not forced on me, and I had not done it (learned) in so
long.

The thing that set this blog apart (and why it is always my #1 stop) is that your writing voice is inherently interesting. Even though I'm not on any diet kick, I read the GAINZZ posts and enjoy them.

Some people (another was Rachel Lucas, I miss her) just know how to turn thoughts into words.

Just went through my own mid-life crisis a couple of years ago (I turned 50).

Nasty stuff.

I was in a funk for almost a year. Horribly depressed. Made a list of the things I thought I would have accomplished by that birthday. It was a depressing list.

I make my living as a professional writer (I write technical manuals and online help for software), but I always wanted to finish writing a book. (I've started several, never finished one. Plenty of short stories, but not anything I would consider a book.)

I finally came out of it when I set up a realistic schedule of sitting down for a certain number of hours each week to work on it. So far, so good.

Personally, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. This is an amazing site with an amazing group of people. Most online sites don't have the kind of loyalty you've created here.

It's very rare.

I can attest to this. When I went back to school ten years ago, the difference between the kids recently out of school and us adults with life experience was night and day. It's no accident it was the older students that did much better.

And ace...just because you're not where you thought you'd be, where you wanted to be, that doesn't mean you're not where you were meant to be. I know, I know, but trust me, I struggled with that. I am not nearly in the place I saw myself being when I looked forward 25 years ago. But you know what? I know good has come of the path I did wind up walking, and that gives me a good bit of peace. And sometimes it's the opportunities you didn't imagine that wind up being the big ones.

One of my Biggest Winners is Denise Scott, the homeless woman who was attacked for guarding the Trump star. Last time I checked her GoFundMe page they had raised about $30k for her and settled her in lodging.

Trump will remember this incident, his Chicago rally being cancelled by paid agitators, all the outrages against free speech he keeps stored in his fluffy topped brain. And he will deploy as the moment demands.

373 My life crisis occurred when I realized I wasn't going to have the family wife and kids job life that my parents had, and had to learn to deal with that not being the certain path in life. It took a while to get through that.

As for a blog: I worked my tail off for six years, doing everything I could to get readers, posting several times a day, writing the best I possibly could, forming connections, promoting my work. I didn't make it nearly as far as ace has. My readership at its best was like 1/10th of his on an average day.

This is not a business that is even remotely easy to get into, particularly now when blogs are basically old hat and dying. Ace keeps his vibrant, popular, and significant every single damn day even when his heart isn't in it. That's nothing to sneeze at.

I took a similar path in college. I just was never sure what I really wanted to do. Somehow I lucked out and got a decent job just over a year ago (albeit only making around 30k a year). I guess the good news is I'm not even 30 yet and I have lots of time to learn new skills.

I've thought here and there about going back to school for a finance or accounting degree but maybe there's no point anymore.

If I could do it all over again I would have started working right after high school and then go to college to learn a skill set.

378 One thing we're not considering is that Ace may (or may not) have a problem with affording to "turn off the blog," if it is indeed his only or primary source of income. In my case, because I am a genius investor and "kamikaze entrepreneur," I have out myself in a situation where I didn't NEED to blog anymore. I can imagine how scary it would be to go out into the world without a big nest egg to protect you.

I don't mean to jump to any conclusions about the dimensions of Ace's assets, but I do know how depressing it would be to "change careers," and suddenly have to start working for a salary. Ugh. I could never do that again.

Posted by: Moron Pundit at November 09, 2016 05:18 PM (xeeHA)

387 Willowed from last thread:

Agree with all you have said here Ace and add the following list of priorities to get this country back on track politically:

First order of business - voter fraud and protecting the vote.

Really
go after voter fraud with the DOJ - the real kind. Perp walk people who
are found voting several times - or busing people to multiple locations
etc. Pass laws that make certain funds to states available only to
states where the vote is protected and/or rights of citizens are not
being diluted by illegal votes, whatever the source. You don't have ID
laws? - You get no $$$

At state and local levels where the Repubs
have state governments ensure that state and local laws are passed and
that the DOJ "looks into:" groups that are trying to stop such laws as
attempts to disenfranchise the actual votes of legal citizens

Second
- secure the border - start commencing the wall building/protection
program - ( hey can you say lots o' construction jobs?!?) and enforce
existing laws against illegal immigration:

Sanctuary cities?
Gone. Over. Any state, city or municipally that refuses to enforce
immigration laws or allows illegal aliens to take the rights and $$ that
should go to citizens? No federal$$ for you. None. Zero . Zilch.

Birthright
citizenship for illegal aliens? Done, gone. It is crazy. no other
really civilized country does this. You already have it ? OK you are
grandfathered in . Everyone else going forward - GFY. Path to
citizenship? Sure - it involves leaving our country, going back to yours
and waiting in line like everyone else - also paying any back taxes
and/or fines. Period. No line jumping - this is a nation of laws and
fair and even handed enforcement of the same. You don't like it - ? OK
then stay in your banana republic country and wait for the next corrupt
government official to come and take your $$ and stuff and be allowed to
do it because he is in the right party and has friends in government
and you don't - so the laws don't apply to him . You obey the law,
immigrate here legally with skills and/or $$ and education and won't be a
public charge? We welcome you with open arms, black white, Asian Latino
whatever - you are the salt of our country

Third - take back the media and the universities:

For
the media - ensure that the DOJ prosecutes everyone in the Hillary
campaign for election fraud, most particularly Brazile and Podesta and
anyone else who colluded with the media to accept what amounts to
contributions in kind without disclosing the same ("sure Hillary
Campaign let me publish your talking point as a real news story" - or
passing debate questions to the Hilz campaign etc.) If any reporters
intentionally participated in this they get hauled into court too. But
the campaign people get very publicly and purposefully perp-walked.

Also
reining in the HB1 visa program very publicly for just about all job
functions here in the US should be done - with the very public exception
of broadcast and printed media journalism jobs - there the rules for
HB1 visas should be relaxed. As we clearly have a dearth of conservative
media folks here in the US - the program should be administered such
that conservative broadcast journos from say the UK, Germany, France, Spain etc.
should be given jobs - oh does that mean you might lose your job or get
paid less Mr Jorge Ramos? Mr. Harwood? Well GFY - you were all for open
borders so illegal aliens could take everyone else's jobs - now you have
a problem with these LEGAL visitors with rights to work taking yours?
Hmm my heart bleeds for you - you, too, can GFY.

Same thing with
the DNC - Debbie Watshername Schlitz and those scum who actually
colluded with Hilz in the primary to swing her the election instead of
Bernie. Very showy, very public arrests and perp walks - big showy
trials - jail time Federal PYITA prison. (Bernie Bros/Bras? - this is
for you - I didn't agree with your guy's politics - but what the
corruptos did to him in the primaries ? frankly they should be swinging
from lamp-posts)

For the Universities - downsize the DOE to just
a "sets minimum standards for states to meet" entity, not just for
elementary/high schools but also empower it to be the national
accreditor of universities to meet certain requirements for actual
course structure and for spending of money - if over a certain
percentage of your courses are not "core curriculum" (Math, Sciences,
History, basic English, etc. or research in sciences engineering etc.),
and this would be a low percentage like say 5% - and/or if you spend
more than 5% your tuition and/or federal money (including Fed aid to
students) on things other than core curriculum then you lose your
accreditation and ability to get paid any Federal Money. This will end
all of the SJW crap at universities which is essentially paid for by the
ever expanding network of professors with dubious degrees (such as that
disgusting Prof Melissa Click) and veer universities back to being
institutions of learning. Call it the Higher Education Improvement and
Reform Act. How can you be against that - it will lower he costs of
universities and of course it is "for the children" it is for
"improvement!!"

Lastly: Public Unions - outlaw them - make a deal
with private unions - say - "you we will protect and will work with -
but not if you oppose us with public unions. Then there will be hell to
pay."

Anyway there are my thoughts right now - and am working on thoughts about the election and takeaways for tomorrow

The RIGHT needs to control, at least, a swath of entertainment with biting, harsh comedy against the lib/prog disaster machine. Funny thing is, it would be true and not that idiotic crap fed to them on Comedy Central. Kids would lap that stuff up and it would drive the left absofruitly batshit crazy. Better yet, Ace should fire up a youtube channel similar to what Pragertopia has (Prager U) but with a funny caustic anti-lib bent. With Ace's wit teamed up with other Conservative voices, it'd be viral and the start the Right needs.

456 Here is why Trump won:

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you about this. Trump's win wasn't a reaction to being bullied or ignored or whatever. It was because of what Trump represented - borders, sovereignty, pride in America and a return to the ethos of competition and winning without guilt for the losers. The American government exists for American citizens and no one else. THAT is why Trump won.

Sure ... there are many who voted for Trump for other reasons - because the left are pricks, the Vichy GOP are prick collaborators, etc - but most of Trump's real support and why he was able to make it all the way through against unbelievable headwinds from enemies and allies, alike, is because he represented positive values and promoted love of America, again.

That's how I've seen it since the very start.

Just dealing with one of my friends (a very devout Christian Armenian who is very supportive of Israel) is frustrating as hell. I tried to explain to her that she needs to calm down and he will NOT be the end of everything good. I was accused of being patronizing.

How does one begin to penetrate the liberal fog that engulfs this woman? That cultural/religious identity is the one that I view as her most defining - and she wanted HILLARY????

I'm extremely curious how their GOTV efforts actually worked on the ground. It must have been INCREDIBLY focused in the places their polling said they could win. Rural PA, MI, etc.

Whatever they did, it worked much better than the overly-broad (I got three reminders to vote for Hillary) GOTV the DNC was doing.

Clinton talked about too much money in politics and how we have to get money out and its all corrupt, but shoveled it in by the trawler full. She outspent Trump by 4:1 as I understand it, like that idiot Jeb. If you include the free campaigning by the president and media, its probably 82:1

Yeah this is the part that makes me just shake my head at the people hysterical over Trump. He says "Mexicans' when he means "illegal immigrants" he says "Muslims" when he means "Jihadis" etc. He's sloppy with his language, but they take it absolutely 100% seriously he means literally everyone.

Some retard on facebook was saying he's scared because Trump was going to take away his citizenship. Why? Because he talked about deporting "Mexicans." Its childish and stupid, because they don't take anything else he says literally and exactly. Its like they are deliberately looking for the worst possible interpretation to justify their fears.

not just that. I think he was a NTer too, and it wasn't even just that.

There is a point which comes when you just don't like someone. Then a point comes at which you not only don't like them, but need to tell them that.

Then a point comes where you not only disklike someone, and need to tell them that, but you need to tell them that DAILY.

LincolnTF decided those things about me. Every day he was here, he'd take a nasty little pussy shot at me.

At some point, someone has to be the adult in a dysfunctional relationship and say "This isn't working; we need to sever ties."

Life is too short to spend it with people you dislike -- and that's as true of LincolnTF as it is of me. I did him a favor; like many people, he had come to hate me, and somehow found some kind of twisted joy in that hate.

But even so, it's not healthy. Not for him, and not for me.

So I did him a favor: I sent him on his way so he could find something interesting to do besides attacking me in every post he appeared in.

Now, not inconsequentially, this was also to MY personal psychic benefit. But I think I am permitted to act in my own perceived self-interests.

I work here. I spend 6-10 hours a day here. Okay, 6-8 hours a day here. Okay, 6 to 6.45 hours per day.

The point is, I *have* to be here. LincolnTF does not. And if he's making a hostile workplace for me -- well I can't leave, and one of us MUST leave, so it's gonna be him.

Or Amish Dude, or chemjeff, or any of the other guys who think this site is Little Green Footballs because a Republican supported a Republican candidate in a Republican election.

Point 2. Trump is a habitual liar who told you what he poll tested in the background what you wanted to hear. Get used of being lied to even more. Congratulations again on your Victory ACE.
Point 3. You seem to be talking about yourself for the most part. You seem to think that because you came around to liking Trump everyone must support him or be the enemy. Guess what, when you treat me like an enemy, I BECOME your enemy. I did not start at that position, you created the situation upon which it became apparent.

Somehow or another I thought after the election, particularly after, CONGRATULATIONS ACE ON YOUR VICTORY, you would cool down and become a somewhat reasonable to read blog again.

555 Ginsburg appears to wear 'dissent' collar on bench
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared to be wearing her infamous "dissent jabot" on the bench Wednesday morning.

The move is being widely interpreted as a repudiation of Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election a night earlier.

Ginsburg typically wears the collar when issuing dissenting opinions in the court, as she explained to Yahoo News in 2014. But no opinions were read Wednesday.

Catholics like me are supposed to believe that even people like Hillary are not beyond redemption and forgiveness. I sincerely hope and pray that she learns a hard lesson from this. If I were here I retire from politics permanently step away from public life completely and concentrate on being a good grandmother.

Of course, this doesn't mean that I don't believe that she should not face justice for her crimes. She should. That is another reason why Trump won. The law needs to apply equally to everyone. No more special exceptions for the "beautiful people."

572 The entitled feeling that banned commenters have reminds me of sick assholes on twitter who are SHOCKED, SHOCKED to see I've banned them after their tenth spastic, spittle-flinging insult.

They just don't understand -- You're saying I DON'T have the RIGHT to just abuse you whenever I fancy? Or that you have the "right" to make yourself unavailable for said abuse?

They really seem to think they have a first amendment right not just to say things, but to have access to saying it to my face, in my place of work, or in my twitter timeline.

Here's a newsflash: as I explained to one big fat blob of fat who called me a "pussy," I'd be very interested in meeting some of these self-alleged non-pussies for a bit of extracurricular activity to see who the real "pussy" is. I'm not afraid, and every single day, I get a just a little bit better at punching.

So if these Twitter and comment section "men" would like to have a real conflict that doesn't consist of some pussy "flames" on the internet -- if they'd like to have a conflict the way real men used to -- I'm for it.

Just let me know, Pardners. Just let me know.

579 Ace, you need to do what makes you happy and fulfills you. If you are burned out it makes sense to seriously consider some type of changes to whatever degree you feel are needed.

But this is a community that draws who knows how many people here. We kid each other about being morons, but your posts generate hundreds of comments, over and over, from very intelligent and witty people. Many of us, I suspect, spend way more time here than is strictly good for them just because the quality of your posts and of the comments they attract is so high. People hang around here for YEARS. I've been around since just before the first Obama election.

There have to be thousands, if not millions of blogs with some pretty darn good writing that generate comments that can be counted on one hand. Your success with the HQ is a very rare exception, as is your talent for dissecting an idea and for writing.

How many of us have read a post here and said, "Gee, that is what I was feeling and trying to express logically to myself, and this guy absolutely nailed it in a few paragraphs. Far better than I ever could hope to."

Anyway, just do not ever sell what you do or your talent short.

That said, you are still offering no analysis beyond the crap you offloaded already all year.

611 I think I'm softer then a lot of others around here. A small part of myself can't help but feel sorry for Hillary.

I have no pity for her, none. She's horrific and evil and celebrates all that is utterly demonic in this world. Nobody that gleeful and in support of murdering babies gets my sympathy.

Those lousy bastards in the media! How could they be so wrong! But WE aren't like that here at CNNMSNBCFOXNBCABCCBS!

I think part of that is out of fear. There is a lot of rage out there against the media for leading them astray about Hillary's chances. They are trying to keep from losing donors, party invites, and viewers.

But the worst are the massively unselfaware leftists who at the same time they spew rage and hate at the media for not getting it right in their predictions... they trust every word the media says about Trump.

You know, if they were so wrong and mistaken about that election maybe they aren't so dead on about other things too, huh?

631 I've noted this before but the internet has had a profoundly effeminizing consequence on men.

Men used to understand that there was a limit to the amount of antagonism you could safely inflict on another man, because at some point, he would have the right and duty to challenge you to a fight, or just hit you.

I'm not saying that's a good thing; But, as instapundit says, an armed society is a polite society.

The internet is basically a method for very beta men -- punks -- to mouth off without the possibility of a deserved thrashing.

I have been very annoyed at myself for doing just this. I used to think of it as 'punkmouth,' just a pussy punk mouthing off because he knew he was protected (by the barrier of the internet, or by a teacher being nearby -- whatever).

It's not a good trait. I've got that trait, and I don't like that about myself.

But there are a lot of punkmouth "men" on the internet who never seemed to have asked thmselves for one hot second, "Would I feel comfortable doing this face to face?"

And Negan didn't scared. No, Negan took Rick aside and helped Rick understand the position he was in. Negan persuaded Rick into making an attitude change.

That's what we need to do. We're not done. We need to be Neganesque with these people until they fully understand the position they're in.

Oh yeah and hey, if its working for them, then by all means go to it! That's why I tend to avoid those threads. Its not fair, but one of the exceedingly few bonses in my life is that I have a bizarre metabolism that burns up fat and leaves me looking lean and fit no matter what I eat or how much exercise I get.

1) Trump voters are less likely to be college educated; therefore they're ignorant.

2) These same ignorant Trump voters have higher incomes than Clinton voters and thus only care for rich people.

My theory is that many of these college-educated Clinton supporters tend to have degrees in things like Transgender Dance Studies and they somehow believe that this makes them our intellectual betters.

I'm not knocking college -- I have two STEM degrees -- but I do 20 dumb things before breakfast every day and am a total nitwit in many areas. College didn't cure my tendency to be an idiot and certainly doesn't make me a better person than someone without a degree.

681 Ace, you write really well, have you considered a career as a novelist? I was a software engineer for many years until I reached the dreaded 50 and became unemployable. Through three years of unemployment, to keep my spirits up, I started on a fantasy novel set in 12th century Japan, a time and a place I have had a serious interest in for many years. My wife got on board, and we actually completed it, got an agent, and he is shopping it around. In the meantime, we are working on a different series we plan to publish ourselves through Amazon, as well as working on the sequel to the first novel. It hasn't resulted in much money yet, but it is entertaining and has the possibilities of bringing in an income eventually. You write well enough that I am pretty sure you could pull that off.

I've seen people today who said "Don't even talk to me." And like I've done on here, they know I didn't vote for Trump. Yet just being a conservative or a republican is enough to piss them off I guess. They are just so angry. I don't recall ever saying that to them when Obama won. It must really suck to have your life revolve so much around who wins or loses. Life moves on.

732 When Obama won, after coasting on a media cloud to victory, the left exulted. He told our side he didn't mind cleaning up all our mistakes but not to complain about the mopping, encouraged the left to punish their enemies, reminded us all that elections have consequences and that 'he won', refused to negotiate in good faith (see Obamacare, which he had previously said absolutely had to be a bi-partisan effort), called us bitter clingers, and fanned the flames of racial animosity continually.

I don't remember a lot of "outreach" by he or the left to those who had the temerity to think differently than they did.

Trump fought a battle virtually by himself against vicious opponents; in contrast the media did most of the fighting for Obama while he egged them on and basically held their coat.

But now, it's Trump's duty to reach out, to comfort people and groups who hated his guts and never hesitated to express that hatred, to be magnanimous, to embrace his bile filled opponents.

Actually, I hope he does to an extent in the interest of good governance and facilitating what he needs to do. But one can only shake one's head at the boundless hypocrisy, arrogance, and lack of self reflection of the left and their useful idiots.

He was laughing that every idiot know-nothing who had nothing impressive on his resume was titled 'consultant" on Fox and other talking-head outlets.

He was laughing that every idiot know-nothing who had nothing impressive on his resume was titled 'consultant" on Fox and other talking-head outlets.

839 SH, thanks at least for not being a dick to Trump supporters here, although I wish you'd joined us. Maybe Trump can convince you in four years. Like he convinced me after I didn't bother voting RomneyBot.

----------

I've never seen a reason to be a dick. I've never thought Trump supporters to be racist, I've never thought Trump to be the next Hitler. I fully understood why people wanted to give a finger to the establishment. And I never thought he'd lose. I just didn't support him. And I really never liked the term NeverTrump, because as I said a few times, if he does good, then I'll vote for him in 2020.

I have no reason to root against him. I want a smaller federal government. If Trump helps us get there - awesome. I'll happily eat crow. If he gets good conservatives on the court, I'll happily eat crow.

May not be enough for some people. Soothsayer seems to be on quite a roll.

But life goes on. I like commenting here and sharing my opinion and getting into discussions. I hope I can continue to do so.

And once again, congratulations, I really mean that. Its a great feeling when your candidate wins, especially a race most said he couldn't.

If I had to take a wild guess I would bet that you're doing Krav Maga, which would be a pretty darn good way to go.

I have a thing for wrestling because I wrestled in high school (and a bit in college). And it is very demanding. I don't think I could make it through anything like a wrestling practice, these days.

Well what happened is this. The Democrats decided to nominate someone no one liked, including their own party, who lost a very winnable election in 2008 because she is absolutle the worst politician in the world. Then on top of that when it became clear no one liked her, including in her own party, they had to scheme to get her past a 70 year old socialist by giving her debate questions in advance. Then even when it was clear that she skirted the law and was actively being investigated by the FBI, they continued to let her run.

Meanwhile, the Republicans nominated someone who a good portion of the base actually liked and wanted to vote for. He had to earn it all the way without the traditional lines of support for the GOP.

And then very predictably on election night, that person won.

It wasn't Comey who set up the illegal and unsecure private email server so he could hide Hillary's pay-to-play crimes at State.

It wasn't Obama who is the shitty campaigner, or who collapsed on camera at the 9/11 event.

It's all you Hillary. You're the loser. You're the woman who twice thought she had the presidency in the bag, only to lose to some unqualified upstart.

Yeah that's Commando stuff, you don't fight to win with that, you fight to maim and kill.

If what you want is physical exercise, flexibility, toning, and some self defense, kung fu is probably your best shot. Just really hard to find a teacher.

She sounds like someone waiting for an opportunity to pounce. Protect yourself. Two options here:

1. Ask for a meeting with your boss and express your pain at being attacked in such an accusatory and unfounded manner. Don't go soft, stand your ground, but express that it is YOU who have been attacked.

2. Respond to her, directly, as indicated in point number 1, above.

Either way. Cover your ass or prepare for an eventual visit to the HR office.

The whole operation was a conspiracy to commit murder. Remember, the "tracking" that they intended was to run the serial numbers of guns FOUND AT CRIME SCENES. Most of those crime scenes were in Mexico (by design), which also makes it an Act of War.

If the DoJ can't or won't prosecute, I see no reason why we can't honor an extradition order for these murderous cocksuckers from the Mexican Government. The thought of Eric Holder spending the rest of his natural life in a Mexican prison warms my blackened, shriveled heart.

Hey Scogg,

You know how lifting weights is inefficient? I mean throwing 315 on the bar and cranking ATG squats is really a very inefficient process. But that is the reason that it forces the body grow stronger.

Krav is very efficient. It teaches you to efficiently kick ass. You can dial up the heavy bag work and the supplementary stuff to compensate but it is not like , for example, Muay Thai or kickboxing where there is an integrated cardio , flexibility component.

I took Krav for a few years for the stated goal of kicking ass. Not to get in shape. I have found a pretty good balance with hiking/jogging/walking, 5x5 lifting and yoga flexibility.

Just my .02

It's easy on the joints, great for balance and strengthening your legs. It is also something you can do your entire life.
It does take a long time to become good enough to also double as a fighting/self defense art.
Also, and this is very important, the "foundational stuff" is very necessary. There are certain things, natural reactions, that have to be trained out of you. One example, someone goes to kick you in the groin. Everyone's natural reaction is both hands going down to block it.
Bad. Move.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Boxing is incredible exercise. It combines speed, strength, endurance (a 3 minute round seems endless when someone more skilled is trying to get to you and hit you), concentration, and commitment. It works out pretty much every muscle group. Core strength is a big part, although they didn't use the current exercise terms too much where I worked out back in the day (an ancient gym that could have been the set for the first Rocky).

If you stay with it, it becomes reflexive, and you will pleasantly surprise yourself with your hand and foot speed, and skill. Many of the drills like hammering the speed bag and skipping rope are fun. Sparring will push your limits.

Well worth a try. Best of luck. Be curious if you find something and how it goes.

994 Everyone's natural reaction is both hands going down to block it.

Mine's to reach for my gun.

Hey ... I'm only 44 peeps. I'm not broke down. Still taller than wide. 34" jeans. No dunlop disease.

Just need to slow my roll a bit.

998 I had it out and back in 1 hr, 15 min, but had to change 2 pipes as new tank was 1 inch higher and 1 inch in diameter bigger. The pipe above the heater had water in it and refused to sweat right. 5 times till I tore it out and put 1 piece in .

1000 452 We love you Ace. This is the only place I wanted to be last night. That's in itself is quite an accomplishment in my humble opinion. I know several others felt the same way.

Oh, absolutely! Case in point: Last night I was alarmed and despondent when the votes came in.
Vermont, R.I., MA, all going to Hillary right away. Trump looked like he was in big trouble in Florida.
I am reading the comments here like a mad woman.
Help! Sure enough, one or two people pointed out that the Florida panhandle had not been counted yet and that it was a large conservative area. Plus, they told me the states that Hillary grabbed were no-goes any time. The Morons here saved my spirits. There is so much insight and input at any given time on a variety of subjects. Ace, you write like nobody's business. Great pieces, not once or twice a week but several times a day. I can't get over it. You are so valued. You are our own treasure.

You have me thinking too. Sparring days are behind me at this point, but I may break out the jump rope, start hitting the speed bag, and just doing some shadow boxing. Also loved hitting the ball that is on an elastic band and jumps right back at you when you hit it.

1005 Where abouts are you at ScoggDog?
I could do some checking around for a good school.

He's an American treasure, why he would want to work for them I can't conceive. If Breitbart had a son it would be Ace.

1007 "So a coworker who I would like to maintain a friendship with just texted

me, "if you're happy about then you must hate blacks lgbt muslims"

Whats a cordial way to respond?"

"That's not true. I'm sorry you're hurting. Are you ok?"

But the best response is probably to say nothing at all. This was a rash text. Let them stew and compose themselves.

1009 The thing is, ace, is that many of these special snowflakes never learned the mental discipline required to defer gratification. It's all about what feels good RIGHT NOW, and much of their political"philosophy" is rooted in circumventin the consequences of failing to defer gratification.

In the case of SJWs and other special snowflakes, it's the emotionat drug hit that comes with their identity posturing. A large part of their self-esteem is wrapped up in thinking of themselves as "better" than all those rubes who never sat through a Grievance Studies course and pretended it was like, so -deep-, man. They aren't especially gifted in either intelligence or talent, and some part of them seems to realise this. So their fragile egos require necessary boosts of condescending to people whom they assume are their lessers.

But while this soothes their egos, it obviously does nothing to convince anyone outside their tribe. So they throw their tantrums when the bill for their emotional drug hits comes due. The depression sets in and another hit is needed, and the cycle repeats.

So the only thing that is going to help them in any way is a 12-step program. Maybe we could call it Douchecanoes Anonymous.

1010 I'm 61 and not above doing a bit of sparring,, with the right people.
Can't go like I did back in the day needless to say but...
At 50 I was taking apart low dan ranks in their mid to late twenties.
Would need to get back into shape do to that now but they'd still know I was there.

1016 I think a good part of Trump's win comes from the media and Leftist's hounding of anyone supporting Trump. People were even physically attacked and sent to hospitals for their support. A lot of people, and I mean A LOT of people, decided there and then to never reveal their true choice, lest the "pollster" on the phone turn out to be union organizer compiling a list for future use.

1017 "And even if you are in the 'regular media,' so the fuck what? Having a job doesn't mean you're particularly good at it; it just means they needed a warm body to fill a seat and your ass looked like it might fit as well as any."

I beg to differ: it usually means you're related to someone they want to suck up to, or they're paid with.

Personally, I'm convinced that the Shark-Bite fitting is one of the great inventions of all time!
