Democrat Senator and Non-Vietnam Veteran Richard Blumenthal "Excited and Proud" to Appear at Celebration of the Founding of the Communist Party USA

It's a Conspiracy Theory to say the Democrat Party is a front for communism.


Senator Richard Blumenthal(D-Conn.) said he was "excited and proud" to help the Connecticut Communist Party celebrate the 102nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party USA over the weekend.

...


Blumenthal was the surprise guest to help celebrate the occasion, and share his appreciation of the awardees.

"I am really excited and honored to be with you today and share in this remarkable occasion," Blumenthal gushed after he was introduced.

...


"I know we're looking back at past achievements, but I want to tell you that the fight ahead is even more challenging than almost anything we have encountered before because we are at a time when more than any other time in our history, we need to make 'good trouble' in the tradition of John Lewis," he added.

More at the link from Deb Heine.

@NiceDeb


For some mysterious reason, the Connecticut People's World Committee removed their "Amistad Awards" video featuring Blumenthal off their Facebook page. Have no idea why they would do this.

I'm glad NeverTrump has found a new home that better suits its proclivities and its unswerving dedication to the American ideal.

23 And thus Bloomenthal shows the truth of things. Just like many before him, he demonstrated that the failure of formal communist and socialist parties was offset by the success of their affiliated juggernaut - the Democrat Party.

24 is it really a surprise at this point? the commies are free to admit they're commies and lots of idiots celebrate this fact. so it shouldn't be a shock that the dems, who have an open and avowed socialist in their ranks, woul dbe all in on celebrating other commies...

**

Elite athletes get sick and have strokes and heart attacks all the time, idiot. Trying to make some nebulous connection to a completely safe vaccination that was tested exhaustively and went through all the same long-term research as every other vaccine ever had is conspiracy theory lunacy.

You might as well claim that they all got sick because they all drank water that morning.

106 I guess still a few years until the 102nd anniversary of American communists passing nuclear secrets to Stalin. But next year will be the 90th anniversary of the start of the Kulak famine. Not really the American communist party's own triumph, but they did help cover it up, so they got that going for them.

While we're celebrating American Commies, please remember, the Salvation Army, your church, your hometown, and your college all need to atone for past sins/racism or something.

Willowed. Reposting this because the Core CPI thing annoys me to no end:

"The OER thing is, of course, flagrant legerdemain. But Core CPI itself is a complete fucking scam. And I mean, it's a *ridiculous* one.

They eliminated food and fuel from the price index on the grounds that prices for these things are "volatile," as if that volatility is important or something. It isn't. It may affect a quarter here and there with occasional inaccuracies. That's it. It is not an issue that causes chronic problems in describing our economy.

But what does removing it do? Well, the funny thing about food and fuel is there is nearly no price elasticity of demand in these goods. As such - *they reflect inflation almost perfectly.*

This has allowed them to hide the bulk of inflation for the whole economy. IT'S A SCAM. IT'S A SHELL GAME. And now they fuck with the housing numbers too. They have removed all of the most important indicators so the press can pretend away our problems.

This is like if you made a price index for illegal drugs, but removed stimulants and opiates from it, and just tracked the price of marijuana."

185 True enough but the country is a powder keg, and eventually conservatives are going to fight back.

Revolution or rebellion is, and I'm not joking in the slightest, literally impossible for any ideology with a core tenet of obedience to authority. Conservatism can't fight back. It may morph into something that can - but until it does, its not going to do shit.

Conservatism has proven to be a failed movement. The sooner it dies, the better.

There's a blogger / gear reviewer I stumbled across a while ago, who lives half the year out of a converted UPS delivery van.

Not a bad idea. My only thought is, good luck finding one that doesn't need a ton of work to get reliably rolling again. I imagine UPS doesn't ditch them until they've wrung every last usable mile out of them.

Kinda like going to a public auction and buying a decomissioned cop car or ambulance. Something's obviously wrong with it, and if whatever that is was fixable, it wouldn't be at auction...

That said - I'd think converting an ambulance into a van-life camper wouldn't be too bad. Already has tons of storage and lighting built in.

The bigger story is not that Huawei is doing this - this has been known for a long time - nor that they have been doing this here without disclosure and in direct contravention of the law. No, the bigger story is that we (with an assist from the Canadians) got their chieftan, the "Princess of Huawei" - Meng Wan Zhou - and arrested her for her crimes and crimes of her company. It was a major political move by the Trump administration.

Earlier this year, the Biden DoJ stood down, canceled the investigations and ended the action against her and Huawei. Then the Chinese demanded that she be repatriated and Trudeau, caught between a rock and a hard place, did so. China owns the United States government.

264 I went through basic in 90 or 91. Thereabouts. There were some stray colorful language here and there, but I can't recall any curse words ever being directed at us. One drill sergeant did make a point of ruefully observing that the rules had changed for the worse, so he could not longer beat us like we deserved, which seemed more like a wry joke than actual disappointment. The army became kinder and gentler long ago, I think.

I did have one drill sergeant buttonhole me in the chow line by asking me what I'd do if someone gave me an order that violated my religious obligations as a Christian. I just kind of stood there squirming, trying to figure out how to get out of this trap, when he said (paraphrasing from memory): "It's not a trick question. God comes first." I doubt recruits have drill sergeants telling them to do God's will these days.

And most of it really is comedy. While the drill sergeant is dressing down some poor fool, the rest of the troops are silently laughing their asses off. This reinforces group identity--espirit de corps--which is essential to combat performance.

The closer you get to communism invariably the worse things get. Individual freedom and limited government work well in certain situations, but all systems are entropic. It's like having few laws and regulations. Those tend to accrete over time. Doesn't mean the starting point was bad.

Amazing. Back in the 50s, Communists would appeal to the Republicans' sense of fairness by getting them to allow their theories to be taught by their professors in higher education in the name of free expression. By the time the commies fully took over Higher Ed in the 00s, they figured it was time to get rid of free expression, to keep the Right from reclaiming the ground it lost.

Communist artists outside of the USSR had to write characters who were the New Socialist Man, the perfect selfless man who could fit into the new socialist order who would perform their duty without objection. The irony is that these were always the exceptional people in the film, the ideals, implying that they were the sorts of people that one could strive to be but never achieve.

It also made the main characters deathly dull. Think Tom Joad or Spartacus.

A great autobiography that I finally read six months ago (Radical Son).

I was stunned learning, upon many things I that didn't know (a generation before my time), was that the name the Black Panthers called their hit squad (who murdered a friend of David's after he recommended her for a job -- the impetus for the scales dropping from his eyes) was "The Squad."

I assume it's no coincidence that that term has now been adopted by the overt American hating commies now in Congress and driving the D agenda.

403 Bridgeport, CT actually had a socialist mayor. Yale is just a factory for manufacturing young commies. Connecticut is actually bluer than California. Even the local reps are steeped in the odor of nanny state buggery (McCarthy Vahey).

404 I remember signing a statement of charges for a 2 1/2 ton truck, being told it was mine and getting right pissed when they told me I couldn't take it with me when I left service. Hell. I signed for shit that I never SAW for 6 years.

405 244 Regarding the EM-50. It was based on a 1976 GMC Motorhome. I know where several are sitting awaiting restoration if anybody wants to build their own.

They are gorgeous, and back in the day the interior design was magnificent, and the general standard of build unusually good for an era when motorhomes were sticks with tinfoil nailed on.

But the mechanicals were basically Olds Toronado and, besides being FWD, woefully underspecced for the mass of the vehicle.

Drive-by mating of a Kansan airhead and a Kenyan Marxist. Raised by upper-middle-class white grandparents, put through expensive schools. Perfect affirmative-action catch for Columbia etc. He's black-for-pay, he's as African-American as Elon Musk (who is, actually, African).

I hold no brief for or against any skin color...right up until it turns into a legally enforced means of advancing oneself over others (hello, Senator Warren).

409 Two things: Kubrick did a documentary when he did Eyes Wide Shut.
And Howie Kurtz doing his slobberingly sad media minute today about the "huge and crippling" loss of "the best debate moderator ever" Chrissy Wallace was especially nauseating.
Thats all

410 Are there any decent youtube videos on 'How To Build A Technical'? Just how much reinforcement you need to handle an M2HB without it tearing the roof off your Tahoe? How much topweight you can put on that nice little TRD 4Runner you just bought your daughter? Do you really need a LWB 3/4-ton to handle that rocket launcher?

Just asking...

If it were me.... hypothetically,
It's always a good idea to run a roll cage in situations where there might be high speed maneuvering. A properly fitted roll cage will have plenty of beef to mount whatever you feel is needed for the situation.

They work in practice, but ONLY when embedded in a culture with strong ethical norms that restrain the evil inherent in human nature. We had that, but no longer.
