The Morning Rant
Picture a joint press conference, or public statement, if you will: present in the Oval Office with President Trump are Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Mitch McConnell. "To our fellow Americans. We are putting aside our many differences tonight in order to come to together to speak out against the violence that is destroying our cities and tearing our country apart. While we stand for the right of all Americans to peaceably protest, and given the events of the past two months, we need to emphasize the importance of the word "peaceably". Without hesitation or conditions, we unequivocally condemn the arson, the looting, and the vandalism perpetrated by violent anarchists who are hiding behind 'anti-fascist' and 'black lives matter' labels as if that could ever justify the dozens of murders and hundreds of millions of dollars of property damage that they have caused. Many business have been destroyed that will never recover. And their is no replacement for the people who have been murdered. We must come together as Americans and heal our nation. Defunding the police is not a workable solution. Vandalism, looting, and burning are not workable solutions. Holding some Americans responsible for the crimes of Americans of previous generations is not an answer. Reorganizing our entire system of government along Marxist lines is not a workable solution. We freely admit that here on the good ship America, Democrats and Republicans can't agree on what course we should take, how we should set the sails, or even what our destination should be. But the solution is not to set the deck chairs on fire, foul the rigging, assault the stewards, or for some small group of disaffected passengers to declare the lido deck an autonomous zone. None of these are workable solutions. We need to come together as Americans and prepare for the work ahead of us that's necessary. If we can't do this, there will be no hope for us. May God have mercy on us all." So why can't we have this? It doesn't have to be exactly this speech, of course, but some joint statement that condemns the violence unequivocally. Wouldn't that help calm the waters if American citizens saw national politicians come together and plead to and end of the violence and destruction? During his recent hearings before the House Judiciary Committee, AG Barr turned to the Democrats and asked them straight up if they would condemn the Antifa violence and the response was dead silence. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised at this, but I have to admit I was astounded. If there is ever a time where the equation 'silence = violence' holds true, it's here. *Not one* Democrat was willing to agree with Barr that antifa violence was bad, and denounce the destruction of blue, yes *blue* cities. Remember, the cities that are burning are not Dallas, or Tulsa or Pensacola, but Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City, the deepest of the deep blue enclaves in America. Antifa is running wild night after night, and the Democrats are mute. They say the destruction in Manhattan has been so bad, so many businesses will not rebuild, so many retailers are leaving town, it may never be the same again. Can the Democrats really hate Donald Trump so bad that they're willing to let this happen? What will they do when he's re-elected in November?
Note: This was from J.J. Sefton's morning thread a couple of days ago:
Can anyone give us a city-based perspective on Portland? Are the riots staying out of posh neighborhoods or punishing the rich? I talked to my dad yesterday who is too near for my taste to Chicago, and he still feels safe even with the Mag Mile being trashed. So I'm wondering if Portland is like that or not.Most of the rioting in Portland is taking place only in a few city blocks. I have seen video of streets outside that small area and you'd never know that there was any mayhem going on at all. However, I have heard that Antifa is starting to branch out into the Portland residential areas. I don't know how this will be for them. Oregon is a big red state outside of the urban areas so I guess it depends on how far out they go. Eventually, they will hit red, where the residents are armed and the police won't be told to stand down. For more (and better) information about Portland, follow Andy Ngo on Twitter. He's an indepedent journalist who covers Antifa, whose members hate him and want him dead. So you know he's doing a good job.

If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update. Please remember the Prayer of St. Francis:
Prayer Requests: 7/8 - Prayers are requested for Kim and her family, as her husband passed away from MS. He was only in his 50s. Prayers for their daughters, as well. 7/18 - IrishMikeComedy thanks the Horde again for the prayers for his son, born in April. He’d like to request prayers now for complete healing for his son from a UTI that seems cleared up, but they are checking for renal scarring. 7/18 - IrishMikeComedy also asks for prayers for employment. He was laid off last Thursday. He is looking for remote work in customer service, with a specialty in insurance. 7/25 - Pooky’s Girl reports that Pooky is looking for different employment. He dropped off his resume at a local place that would fit his skills better and had a good meeting with the owner, who he already knows. Asking for prayers that he either gets this job or a lead on a similar job. 8/6 - Jordan61 asks for prayers for Mom, who is in remission from multiple myeloma, and she is having a bone biopsy on Wednesday, 8/12, to make sure it isn’t returning. (She’s had some red flags in her routine bloodwork.) Prayers for a negative result and continuing remission.
For Healing: 7/15 - Fox2 requests prayers for his friend Vicki, who is suffering from a rare form of cartilage cancer. Her doctor is talking about taking her log off above the knee. Please pray for healing and for wisdom for the doctors.
8/3 Update: Vicki’s surgery is scheduled for next week. 7/17 - Dr_No requests prayers for his daughter Megan. She is scheduled for a 5.5 hour operation 7/21 to remove a Stage 2 cancer from her sigmoid colon, and will have a complete hysterectomy for preventative reasons.
7/21 Update: Megan’s surgery went well, and the best part is she didn’t need a colostomy!
7/27 Update: Megan’s pathology report showed that 4 of 20 lymph nodes showed cancer. Please pray for healing. Chemotherapy is planned to start in September, at this point. 8/5 - Prayers for Chaves the Hugo and his Family for healing and happiness.

Monday's Who Dis: Katey Sagal is, in my view, a very talented, very underrated actress. Her comedic chops were on full display in her break-out role as bubble-head Peg Bundy in the TV series Married... With Children. She is equally adept at serious drama, as the matriarch of the SAMCRO motorcycle gang in Sons of Anarchy. And she can sing, too. Ms. Sagal teamed up with veteran character actor Ralph Bellamy for the 1988 film The Good Mother, along with a number of other well-known actors such as Jason Robards, Diane Keaton, Liam Neeson and the director, Leonard Nimoy.

Legally, the Oregon DA can sit in his office and play tiddlywinks 365 days a year, with no weekend hours, a months paid vacation, and as much paid sick leave as he wants. Nothing forces him to do shit, except for the voters there who might have something to say about it.

The action had been confined to the area right around the Federal courthouse downtown.
However, Antifa recently has been attacking police precincts and the police union office, which are located in residential neighborhoods. This is causing problems.
They know better than to leave the county that Portland is in - without a supportive DA and local officials, they'd be looking at prison time for rioting.

A couple of days ago, I was listening to a local talk radio show, while driving back from lunch, and a caller came on-
who I assume was a black woman from her accent, though I suppose it could've been some lame-ass SJW Wine Mom showing her BLM support mimic-style.
As she was a progtard, she didn't really have anything intelligent about Harris' possible VP run to say, however -
she kept coming back to these two bumperstickish talking points that she obviously thought were kill shots.
They were:
1) "Old white men" - said as though it was the worst possible thing to say about someone.
Think the "n-word" said by some KKK klown and you'd have it exactly right.
And -
2) "we need someone who looks like America" - this was really her magic talisman, which she kept clinging to.
Summed up - "We need Harris instead of these (said in Snidely Whiplash voice) old white men, (bright and happy) because she looks like America."
Well, okay. Let's look at your racist rantings, sweet cheeks, with math.
According to the US Census:
Black people comprise roughly 13% of the population.
Caucasians comprise between roughly 60 - 72% of the population, depending on whether or not you include "white" Hispanics, and why wouldn't you?
So, we take Your Physical Appearance Demographic - black woman, which is roughly 6.5%, and-
we take Whitey Whiterton from Whitesville's Physical Appearance Demographic, white man, which is roughly 36%
And plunk you both down randomly several times throughout the US,
you're going to see white males roughly 5X more often than you will see black women who look like you.
It's stupid racist false argument based on stupid racist false assumptions and makes you sound like a stupid racist innumerate retard.
And if we take Harris' real demographic make-up - Afro-Caribbean plus indian that probably makes up less than 1 percent of the population.
So, no, she doesn't look anymore like America than some (said in Snidely Whiplash voice) old white man.
Cuz as you should realize, We all look like America.,
but since that seems like too hard a concept for you to understand.
Please strop bringing your racist stupidity to the airwaves.

paid sick leave as he wants. Nothing forces him to do shit, except for
the voters there who might have something to say about it.
But if his voters say "fuck it, no law!!!" then fuck it, there's no law.
With people like that I'd almost be ok with no law, as in, 'if there is no law then there is no law protecting DA's like that either'.

Portland is six percent black. Seattle is eight percent.
The riots in Portland and Seattle have little to do with black people - it is mentally ill white people acting out their psychoses.
The Seattle city council felt free to humiliate the black police chief, who enjoyed excellent relations wit Seattle's black community, just as an indication of how much clout blacks have in Seattle.

I had something similar but it wasn't in writing. Just a nasty little shit being haughty because I was 10 feet away from people and had no mask on. Did it in front of everyone. The policy is if you have to talk to someone within 6 feet and he started quoting the policy completely wrong.
Gave me a "wear the mask" too. You have no idea how badly I wanted to tell him to fuck off and die.

There is no way to list all the people that are "the worst" at this point.
There are many that are tied (and should be tried):
Dean, King, the "o's" (even the depressed one), schumer, Pelosi, Newsom, Clyburn, etc. The list of liberals is the list of the 'elites' who can not be touched by the DOJ.

How can you legally NOT prosecute felonies?
Posted by: rickb223
------
'Decline to prosecute'
STANDARD: A prosecuting attorney may decline to prosecute, even though technically sufficient evidence to prosecute exists, in situations where prosecution would serve no public purpose, would defeat the underlying purpose of the law in question, or would result in decreased respect for the law.
You see, the assumption is that the DA is actually invested in law and order, rather than socio-political interests. Soros has shifted that.

First the dialogue is very fast, and the accents and colloquialisms were unfamiliar, so it was hard to understand. But that's okay, because all the stuff at the beginning didn't matter.
After you start to wrap your head around it, it gets kind of interesting, then it loses the interestingness, and then they did that thing which is way too common now where they forget to write an ending.
It could have been really good, you can see some talent and flashes of brilliance. But ultimately, as The Critic says, it's crap!

============
Remember the messy pre-production history of The Hobbit?
They had written the scripts or a two movie production with Guillermo del Toro directing, but labor negotiations with the local unions dragged things on for so long that del Toro quit. Jackson took over, did a lot of rewriting and then started production on a two movie production.
After production was done and while Jackson was prepping the first film, the studio came to Jackson and demanded a trilogy, so he had to expand the two movies into three.
That's why it's so bloated. The studio demanded that a nearly completed 5-6 hour movie become a 9 hour movie.

Uh... yeah. I did.

It's why they hate the Feds so much - the Feds charged their arrestees with real crimes, and are prosecuting them.

Not really, it was just an inch or so. It made me want to sneeze. When I reported this, the tech said, "That's how you know you're doing it right."
Verdict: Negatory, Ghost Rider.

We talked about Kneepads yesterday.
She doesn't matter. Biden is going to lose, she's not going to turn his campaign around.
I like movies. I really don't like politics.

The Hobbit is almost made to be read aloud to your kids. It's a children's story but I enjoy it.
I like both, in fact.

NOOD. Feral savages attack a Ronald McDonald house with patients and their parents trapped inside.

I mean, it's better than either Prometheus or Starship Troopers.
Posted by: Laughing in Texas at August 12, 2020 11:42 AM (OI/f2)
And everyone talked about how Starship Troopers was bad.

Orwell wrote "if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
But with modern leftism, I would change that to "Imagine a Giant Set of Gary Busey's Teeth, Chattering At You Forever."

What's there to talk about? No one here is particularly surprised and we've already discussed all the insults appropriate to both Biden and Kneepads so until something really new happens there's not that much to say.

I highly recommend the Mandalorian. It is the best thing to come out of the Star Wars universe since Empire Strikes Back. I just rewatched the series for the second time. Each episode has a different director, such as Taika Waititi who directed Thor Ragnarock. With Jon Favreau in charge overall and helping with the writing and directing.
Posted by: Eric at August 12, 2020 12:13 PM (a2F+C)
The ending is abrupt and 'down' but it fits the Twilight Zone esthetic.
++++This is interesting as that was my first thought. That it was an experiment of sorts and the fact that I watched the whole thing trying to figure out where they were going made it a success from that viewpoint.

There is no common ground here other than we are all carbon based. No agreement in principle can be made, so THEY get to go.
This is the most exceptional country on the planet, populated by an extraordinary people who are governed by the most unique political system in history. No room for bi-pedal diarrhea fouling the land and it's people.
They get to leave or change philosophy--period.

He has my cousin, his daughter, tie the mask on for him before he leaves the house so he doesn't have to go through the pain and struggle.
He *can't* take it off in the car without pain.
He has had people flip him off, curse him out and, Monday, key his car for wearing a mask in the car by himself.
So fuck off with the snark.

Downtown Portland is 50 ft above sea level. Much of the West Hills is above 500 ft. Winter in western Oregon is a function of elevation.
Even in the hills, though, it's rare to have snow on the ground for more than a couple of days,3 or 4 times a year.
I've spent time in Minneapolis in the winter. Portland ain't nothin like Minneapolis. You couldn't pay me enough to live in Minneapolis, literally. I was offered a 30% raise for a job in Minnetonka. Turned it down.
