DNC Head to Cory Booker and His Complaints About a Lack of #MuhRepresentation: "We set a frankly low bar" just to help you in, you know. It's not my fault you couldn't clear it.
Plus: Trump Rally

I love this. This is wonderful.

This complaint is nothing new from Booker, who warned at the time he first struggled to qualify with the DNC's slowly increasing thresholds that the party was sacrificing diversity for efficiency. These complaints started by implication in September, but after Harris' by-then-expected departure in December, he began explicitly ringing the bell on "diversity." Now that he's had to drop out after missing two debates, Booker's got even more reason to complain -- and having one more billionaire on stage than a person of color tonight certainly doesn’t help matters in a party obsessed with identity politics. It's even four men versus only two women, for that matter.

Anticipating this, DNC chair Tom Perez made an appearance on CNN’s New Day earlier this morning to defend his organization’s debate thresholds. John Berman pressed Perez to explain "what's wrong with this picture?" Perez claims that the Democratic Party bent over backwards to ensure diversity, saying that they set a "frankly low bar" to ensure it.

More. More.

I want to see the entire Progressive Stack topple over as everyone tries to pull everyone down.

Below, the Trump rally.

Also, male candidates need to bow out for female candidates.

And any religion other than Muslim needs to bow out for a Muslim.

Cis needs to bow out for trans.

This is basically how I feel about poverty in the US. It's quite frankly very easy to earn a middle class living here. As long as you're near average intelligence and don't have a serious mental illness you should be able to overcome most circumstances.

Being a Christian man, I'm happy to help people who are genuinely working to improve their situation or who fall into the categories I listed above, but on my terms. Not through gov't confiscation.

That being said, I'm fairly convinced a significant number of American poor are slugs.

87 On this, let me explain to you what libs are REALLY thinking.

They identify everyone as one of two people: Either you're an Oppressor, or an Oppressed. It's fundamental Marxist thinking, classing people by a group identity and evaluating all behavior by which group they fall into.

Oppressors are always wrong. These come down to (straight) (white) men.

Oppressed are always victims. These are everyone else.

'Diversity' means 'everything but the Oppressors.'

Lower standards, condescension, paternalism, in favor of the Oppressed, is all okay. As long as you're trying to help 'the Oppressed,' you can't be racist, sexist, etc. And the Oppressed can never be any of those things.

Oppressors are wrong, in everything they do, think, see, want, make, own, or think. They can be harmed in any way you wish, because they Oppress.

Total revenge fantasy. And very convenient to those who want to rule the Oppressed for their own purposes.

They identify everyone as one of two people: Either you're an
Oppressor, or an Oppressed. It's fundamental Marxist thinking, classing
people by a group identity and evaluating all behavior by which group
they fall into.

153 Yes. 15-20% of our population are always going to be ignorant, lazy, mentally ill or addicted to drugs.

The problem is, we do not have the will power or the courage to stop this cycle of stupidity.

I represent parents who have had their children removed, usually for substance abuse issues.

We do not require chronic drug users to be on birth control. It should be mandatory. It should also be ordered for chronic mental illness.

We are not compassionate by allowing these people to procreate and subject an innocent child to this kind of life. They will likely suffer from the same issues. The cycle repeats itself.

It is heartbreaking and immoral. But social
Services and the Courts do nothing to break the cycle. And the taxpayers are paying for this to continue.

He's a smart kid but not very good at baseball. He figured he'd try to relay signs from second base and the opposing dugout said something to the ump. It was pretty funny.

271 Yes. 15-20% of our population are always going to be ignorant, lazy, mentally ill or addicted to drugs.

The problem is, we do not have the will power or the courage to stop this cycle of stupidity.

I represent parents who have had their children removed, usually for substance abuse issues.

We do not require chronic drug users to be on birth control. It should be mandatory. It should also be ordered for chronic mental illness.

We are not compassionate by allowing these people to procreate and subject an innocent child to this kind of life. They will likely suffer from the same issues. The cycle repeats itself.

It is heartbreaking and immoral. But social
Services and the Courts do nothing to break the cycle. And the taxpayers are paying for this to continue.

And do NOT get me started on the illegal alien issue.

284 Had one of the kids I coach Little League try to steal signs from second base and relay to hitter. We had gone over the science of cheating vs. kinda cheating but permissible and the various ways in which it can and has been done.

Not sure of little league rules, but isn't that usually kosher?

Mark Rober did a great YouTube video on using Machine Learning and a hidden camera to steal signs. You could feed in all of the signs to the machine, plus the actual pitch, and it only took two or three pitches of each type before the computer could tell you exactly what the signs were for that pitch.

Here is the thing, elites have been burning down institution after institution that helps the average folk and their family.

Let us take, don't get a criminal record--the increasing number of criminal laws means that odds are that you can violate one quite easily. However, if you do not have "money" or "SES", the justice system treats you quite differently with an appointed counsel vs. paid. Similar to judicial behavior.

Second, let us take getting a high school diploma--make school as uninteresting as it can be for those not academically inclined, compel people to sit still that do not do it very well, allow general classes to become a joke through mainstreaming disturbed children, vilify them and make them feel ashamed of their country and history, and short change vocational education.

Third, encourage everyone to engage in sex at an early age, promote drug use, promiscuity, and teach them that is normal.

Four, destroy the Protestant Work Ethic by promoting party time, the sense that destiny is randomly distributed, produce entertainment that makes being a solid citizen the butt of jokes, etc. through the concept of cool.

Debase the family by promoting divorce and general promiscuity to be true to oneself and bring in workers at below market wages to undermine any financial stability in the few job categories not shipped overseas. Make the military the only option for many then engage in stupid and pointless wars with no end for virtue points.

Entertainment has taught folks to worship the present and self, education has taught them nothing but contempt for authority and country, government has taught them that elites are corrupt and self serving and uncaring, and that the lesson is money is king in American society. A fish rots from the head and our elites are indeed rotten in both thought and deed.

In Falling Apart's Fishtown, the problem noted is that poor kids lack insulation from the slings and arrows of society.

A just society restrains the elites and their appetites so as to put a good example forth to the poor. A just society does not try to destroy and hollow out institutions that can help poor to rise--education, morality, work ethic, and the rule of law.

Just look at what Robert Gates and Tillerson did to the Boy Scouts--they put them in debt, changed their mission to be more "inclusive" so as to distribute condoms at Jamborees, and then forced the return of gay scoutmasters and transgenders. When the numbers fell off, they went after females to boost their numbers. They are walking dead with the loss of the Mormons and who benefits the most from such destruction.

Middle class and up can afford to go camping, spend money on travel and education, provide their kids with compatible chums, structure, and morality etc. The Boy Scouts performed this function for many a boy that did not grow up with those advantages. Ditto for the YMCA and YWCA, public libraries, and so on. Public schools and universities certainly helped promote those who were smart enough and determined enough to rise above their station.

Look at what CFA did to the Salvation Army via Dan Cathey for money. That hurts the people with the least insulation the most just so Cathey can expand into urban and foreign countries.

343 There isn't a single right wing billionaire who is out of the closet, besides PDT. Not one. The American economic system has been constructed to prevent it... that's its penultimate objective, directly behind promoting Leftism.

I think you are exactly right, but I still do NOT understand why this persists!

344 You can in fact burn wet shit. (you really do not want to know how I learned this)

All shit (or biosolids, as they say in the, um, trade) is wet - its less than 10% solid before they extract the water at the treatment plant, and even then its still only 25% solid before going to the fill...so, it will burn, it has around 200 to 300 BTUs per scif without addition of oxygen...not that I would know about shit or anything.

BREAKING: @GenFlynn has moved to WITHDRAW his guilty plea due to the "government's bad faith, vindictiveness, and breach of the plea agreement."

350 bloomberg won't run if he doesn't get the nomination; he'll just plough $100's of millions in ads to defeat trump. and i don't understand the vehemence of these people who see trump as somehow destroying the country. maybe bloomberg is just scared of losing billions in his huge chinese investments.

351 Heh. Corey Booker was the affirmative action candidate on the debate stage.

Ouch.

354 What the Sox and Yankees did in 2017, but more effectively. They used tech to steal signals on the pitches they were trying to hit. I agree that using tech is cheating (if the pitcher's hand signals are obvious, they deserve to be noticed; but by humans, not by machines). And the MLB noticed and make the decision in 2018.

But the punishment for 2017 is an application of a law post-facto which is supposed to be unConstitutional.

They're going to nuke the Red Sox next, and may well move on to the Yankees, but I still don't like the post-facto nature of this decision.

Whoa. Are they going to nullify Championships?

Stealing signs using artificial aides and off the field has been illegal for a long time. A NY team got in trouble for it in the 50s or 60s.

Can't use that excuse.

356 Obammy's half-blackness was still worth 2-3 percentage points in 2012, and a qualified minority candidate (bonus if black) would still pay a dividend for democrats.

I'm personally shocked that they aren't going in that direction or can't find a charismatic candidate of that persuasion. It seems really, well, dumb to leave guaranteed percentage points on the table in favor of a bunch of old whiteys.
