The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg
"You know, I'm about ready to do a deal on reparations. Wait, don't go, this is not going to be 'The Conservative Case For Caving In On Reparations', no, you'll have to go to the Cuckshed Bulwark Online for that, but here it is: we give reparations, we will make one TRILLION dollars available to any American citzen of African American descent (and we'll use the old 'one drop rule' for mixed-race determination) and in return, everyone will have to finally SHUT UP, once and for all, about racism. That's it. Finished. It's done. You don't get to talk about it, whine about it, bitch about it any more. Disband Black Lives Matter. Dissolve the NAACP, abolish the Congressional Black Caucus, and revoke Farrakhan's cult church's tax-exempt status. No more bitching and moaning, you've been paid off and you now have to get on with your lives. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will now have to get real jobs. African Americans can pool all of that sweet, sweet reparations cash and use it to rebuild Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other inner cities without any interference from evil racist white guys. We could all live together in peace and love and harmony. Thank God Almighty, we'll be free at last. For a measely trillion dollars, it would almost be worth it. But the reason this is not a serious proposal is that I realize that even with this payout, it's not going to end there. Here's a book that argues for giving reparations for women for all of the uncompensated work that they've done over the years. And perhaps you've heard that Elizabeth Warren wants to give reparations to homosexuals for supposed injustices in the U.S. tax code due to 'unequal marriage laws'. As soon as we pay off one reparation claim, every last aggrieved minority will be lining up for their slice of the reparations pie. In fact, they'll probably even invent some new aggrieved groups just for the purpose of cashing in. And holy smokes, this is where intersectionality is really going to pay off big time. Because it's going to be reparations now, reparations tomorrow, and reparations forever."

I want to address flag burning--a VERY hot button issue for me.
First, understand that flag burning is in NO WAY an expression of free speech, irrespective of SCOTUS ruling it is.

It is malicious and wilful DESECRATION of our national symbol, and by extension a denial of the country. I will listen to no rebuttal, it is undeniably desecration and a display of hatred toward America.
There is no expression of speech here, simply a physical act of sheer hate.

That's kind of been my mom's reaction. She was really into it through all six fights, and she walked away saying, "I don't know how to describe my reaction, except to say that I definitely didn't 'enjoy' it."

30 Now for MY reparations rant:

No. Not one fucking penny.

I am not responsible for anything except what I, personally do. Trying to blame me for what some White folks did two hundred years ago is fucking racist bullshit.

My people came to Iowa from Norway in the early 20th century and quietly farmed and made other tall, grumpy Iowegians.

We didn't own slaves, we barely knew what a black person looked like.

Fuck all y'all.

32 The pic of Vic Damone looks like it might be from the later Sixties, when even clean-cut-looking entertainers grew their hair out a bit and wore out-there, trendy fashions. Johnny Carson came out one night in a tuxedo with a turtleneck, I think, and I know he wore a Nehru jacket at least once.

2. No idea who the celebs are. I'm really bad at this sort of thing.

3. My plan on reparations is the same as my plan for a universal basic income: you can have it, but only if you forswear all other forms of welfare, until the very day you drop. Which will never be acceptable, which is why I oppose both reparations and UBI.

4. My chemistry teacher never gave us cool demonstrations. I feel so cheated.

37 While it would be a bargain at any price to put the issue to bed forever, you're also right in observing that it'd never work that way. These people have built whole careers out of being victims and convincing others that they, too, are victims. It's easy work and makes them rich.

62 Two questions?

Given that scientists claim that race is a social construct, not a real thing, how will we be able to say that one "race" should be allowed to recieve reparations? How can we tell?

Secondly, since it's argued that ALL humanity originated from Africa, that would mean all people in the US are actually African Americans, opening up reparations for everyone.

And lastly, since we are able to now claim sex as a choice, not a biological reality, it would only stand to argue that something like skin color is likewise a matter of choice, not biology. As such, if I self-identify as a light skinned black man, I should logically have must as much claim to reparations as a modern dark skinned black man, since we have both experienced slavery the same...that is to say, neither of us have any experience with it.

Catman, my Bavarian Monster Wagon is a '15 328i, the base model sedan. Looks like an upper-middle-class grocery-getter -- but it has a small starship engine under the hood. It's got the most power and at the same time the best gas mileage I've had in 40 years of driving.

The manual says 91 octane minimum, so if I mix 3-4 gal. of 87 with 12 of 93, it comes out just at that. And if the price difference between 87 and 93 is big enough, I do that and save $2.00 or more per fill-up.

102 3. My plan on reparations is the same as my plan for a universal basic income: you can have it, but only if you forswear all other forms of welfare, until the very day you drop. Which will never be acceptable, which is why I oppose both reparations and UBI.

Posted by: joncelli, bludgeoning with a pouncing seize at June 24, 2019 11:22 AM (RD7QR)

That's also the only way I could support UBI. Take what we already spend on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Housing Assistance, Food Stamps, etc... Divide by the number of US citizens (citizens only), cut everyone a check, no strings. Replace all forms of welfare and dismiss their administrators.

Anyone who stuffed it all up their nose gets no help. They have only themselves to blame.

123 That's Anne Bancroft's birth name

When Mel Books was casting Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles, he asked to see her legs. Kahn shot back that she knew what kind of "producer" he was and refused. Brooks explained that Lily von Shtupp was supposed to be a Marlene Dietrich parody and, as such, he needed to know whether Kahn had the right soft of legs. So Kahn allowed him to look, but sternly ordered him not to touch.

According to Kahn, all through the shoot, Brooks would invite her to dinner with himself and wife Bancroft, so he could prove to her that he really was a devoted husband and not a typical Hollywood sleazebag.

Whedon is a good enough writer to write stuff he doesn't believe in. He's also a whore.

Speaking of, hooking up with a whore is rarely a good idea. Hiring them often is. Those are two very different things and the former is fraught. The latter can be lonely.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to question President Donald Trump's imposition of more than $4 billion in steel tariffs, turning away an appeal that challenged his use of national security as the legal justification for his trade agenda.

The appeal by a steel industry trade group and two of its members contended that the provision Trump invoked, known as Section 232, gives the president such broad discretion to impose tariffs on national security grounds that it violates the Constitution.

Some really believe "there is plenty of money" (to give away) because we run the debt to infinity, and fiat currency has inflated markets. We are All In on the Ponzi scheme ... just stay invested, and everyone can be a billionaire. And even if everyone sold ... doesn't matter, the government will buy up the rest (just put it on my tab), keep markets soaring. To infinity ... and beyond.

Still trying to figure out how women were 'underpaid' as housewives. The
received half the household income, and say over how all of it was
spent.

If they were undercompensated for household chores, then so were their husbands.

182 It appears I am screwed.

Bought a suppressor for my Ruger PC carbine last year for $600. Sent off the paperwork and a check for $200 in June 2018.

Been waiting patiently for the ATF approval. Talked to the store/range owner in early May and he said it should be in soon.

Went by the store three weeks ago and it was closed with a sign on the door that said it was closed due to medical reasons. Went back a week later and the same sign was there so I called the store. No answer and the answering service has been turned off.

Sent an email to the owner and he said it would open soon and my property is safe. Went back again a week later and the same sign is up on the door. So I email the owner again a week ago and haven't received a response. Sent another email yesterday asking him to call me to see if my approval is in. No response yet.

I have a sinking feeling that he failed a surprise ATF audit back in May. The day I was there two ATF agents were inventorying everything in his store. He said it was just a random check. I suspect it was not and I fear that he has either had his FFL suspended or revoked.


If that is the case I will never see my stuff again. I have the suppressor in there along with 4 firearms on consignment. There is an ATF branch office in Sherman so I will go and see if they can help me but I am not holding out much hope.

196 >>Loved the claim one would have to prove to be a direct descendant of a slave.


I was thinking that given Ancestry-dot-com provides genealogy research AND dna testing that someone might consider leveraging the combination of the two. Descendants of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings have traced their family roots, so why couldn't others. However, this discussion inevitably gets into the awful "one drop of blood" zone, where one would use their genes to certify victimhood, and what % of family relationship to a known slave relative is "enough" for reparations/proof of historical victimhood, and gains them access to whatever systemic changes/benefits the reparations crowd is also looking for.

Its because the "wages" are only calculated out at an hourly rate.

Shared or covered housing, utlitlties, groceries health insurance, etc is never factored in.

Its an argument made by future cat ladies that try to agitate disaffected housewives to become angry-all-the-time-feminsits and join the Cat Lady Crusade against men.

274 Glad someone brought forward irongrampa's flag comment.

I've always stood with the 'private flag burning' opinion -- if you want to burn your own flag, up to you. It's a copy, not the Old Glory that waves forever in our hearts and which stands for the Republic to which I pledge allegiance. Burn your copy of the Constitution and the Bible, too, and it won't change a word of either one.

Howsomever, should I see some ardent patriot running in to rescue the flag and stomp the flag-burner, I... wouldn't object. (Run vid of that baseball game flag rescue.)

In Wal-Mart last night, there was a little girl running ahead of her dad's shopping cart, smiling, waving the Red, White, and Blue. Looked like Dad approved. That means more to me than all the fag blurners ever will.

Not nearly enough opportunity for Dem/Prog graft with such a scenario.

Financier George Soros, heiresses Liesel and Regan Pritzker, Abigail Disney and Facebook Inc. co-founder Chris Hughes are among those calling for a levy to help address income inequality and provide funding to address climate change and public health issues.

"We are writing to call on all candidates for President, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, to support a moderate wealth tax on the fortunes of the richest one-tenth of the richest 1% of Americans-on us," according to a letter signed by 19 individuals-one anonymously-and posted online Monday. "The next dollar of new tax revenue should come from the most financially fortunate, not from middle-income and lower-income Americans."

The problem with "woke" types is they do not understand cause and effect. They think that things like a society or a government or a corporation just appears like the Big Bang. They continue to run perpetually, so all you have to do is show up in proper attire to get those stock options. They do not want to understand that these things formed from the effort of the creators and follow certain rules that, if not followed, result in the demise of said institution.

Yup.
I recall seeing a 60 Minutes bit on a group of billionaires led by Bill Gates who joined together to donate a lot of money to progressive causes, such as saving the environment.

Here's the thing: they never want to just write a check. They want to create their own foundations, where they can implement their own vision, and in some (many?) cases, their idea of partnering with the government to do this means the government gives their org money (grants) and then they spend it on their projects.

So this latest effort is stupid, because we already know that while they want government to do something they want, they are not willing to simply turn over their money and lose control of how it's spent.



*I don't begrudge them wanting control of how their money is spent, just spare me they pretense that they would actually give up control of their contribution; if they trusted Uncle Sam, they'd write a check, not demand a tax.

I think she had very little experience with boyfriends and, she said at one point, that her time clock was running down, as far as getting married and having children. She seemed to attract men who were very passive, in my opinion. She was always doing all of the planning for the extended weekend getaways. Finding the cabin, planning all of the menus, buying the food, and preparing. She did the bulk of the work, from buying all of the groceries, to hauling it all to the meet-up place. She was annoying and tedious with great detail given to such things as balancing the dinner with enough carbs, protein, and the like. WTH? This disproportionate focus on the minutiae spilled over into the sexual aspects of her relationships, which would not bode well for either of them.

470 Mikey NTH, true, but that's been going on for a while [Dems adopting one unpopular and increasingly extreme cause position or hobby horse after another]. Including prior to the mid-terms. You know the result.


There's a weird and growing disconnect between what Dems "stand for" and how they do with voters - very well - notwithstanding. No press, Gleichschaltung generally in the society, self-dealing for $$$$, robotic/inertial/tribal voting and party ID patterns - I guess that accounts for some of it.


Of course the GOP, despite being so lame an outsider swiped their presidential nomination for the first time in history, also prospers despite mostly failing to push actually popular - even critical - things. Thus the question of how/why GOP voters continue to enable failure and inaction is similar. The current GOP incumbent class may be the worst ever, in context, but no sign the voters will do anything about it. And Trump is silent/passive on the problem.

I've had a dog get out once in 30 years of dog ownership. Kinda of a conflageration of several mishaps between me and two other people. It took a 3 person committee of morons for it to happen. Finally found her from my wife tracking Facebook comments about a roaming dog.

People were stupid though, saying the dog looked malnourished. She was a 19 fricken year old lab. We managed her weight by vets instructions and he told us that a normal fat lab would of already died of kanine diabetes or gotten immobile from spinal issues. I've had to give a dog insulin shots towards the end of their life and don't want to do it again, see them waste away from that. She got good healthy food and treats and was pampered.
