Wednesday Morning Rant
And so, with a brazen disregard for facts, Donald Trump and his running mate repeatedly peddled a created story that in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian immigrants were eating pet dogs and cats. With this claim, amplified before 67 million television viewers in his debate against Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump took his anti-migrant, the U.S. border-is-out-of-control campaign agenda to a new level.
How very non-partisan that is. An astounding neutral description of straight fact. The whole article from this "fact-checking" outlet is chock full of facts. My favorite is this little tidbit:
City and county officials said repeatedly that it was not happening. Rebuttals did not diminish the consequences: Dozens of bomb threats at schools, grocery stores and government buildings. Pleas from locals to leave them alone. A continued lack of constructive debate on immigration and border control issues.That's as it appears on Politifact. I usually don't bother to re-create embedded hyperlinks when quoting text because it's a pain to do and doesn't typically provide real value or context. In this case, though it does. Politifact has a link to a story (a Politifact story, of course) about the officials denying it. Where are the links to the evidence for the claims of "dozens of bomb threats at schools, grocery stores and government buildings," Politifact? Where are the receipts, as the kids say? Surely a "fact-checking" outlet like Politifact wouldn't just be making stuff up, would they? Perish the thought! It's almost as if it never happened and there is no evidence for their baseless claims. But then again, it couldn't be. Not from a bunch of rock-ribbed, non-partisan, straight shooters like Politifact. It's surely just a little oversight that they forgot to link to their voluminous evidence for their shocking claims. It isn't possibly that Politifact and the Poynter Institute are the playthings of faceless left-wing money men looking to subvert the public and shape opinion to promote Progressive ideology. Couldn't be. Not them. Our institutions are strong and mighty and honest, dontchyaknow. It's not like this has been a year when mega-lies have been hard to come by. There are so many candidates for "lie of the year" that actually naming one such is probably impossible. Here are some of mine, in no particular order:
- The military isn't mired in failure to achieve strength as it has politicized
- The economy is great
- The DoJ aren't a bunch of corrupt hatchet-men for the Party
- Joe Biden is Competent
- Politifact is non-partisan and honest

If we're being 100% serious, it's any sort of notion that Biden is running things.
It's a lie too big to even acknowledge, and we all just go along as if it isn't. We're being ruled by people we can't even identify (mostly), and those people just go on doing what they do... which is marching us toward WWIII.
And we don't have a President.

Not an exaggeration. He led the charge on shit like this, spending. Then they gave him the Big Chair. And he completely flipped.
How else do you explain that? If it's not blackmail, what is it? It's like it's out of a movie. They walk into his office, congratulate him on his new job, then toss an envelope on the desk.

There were residents who spoke at city council meetings reporting how Haitians ate local wildlife and pets.
They like to pretend that Trump made this up out of whole cloth, but the truth is that a Anon on X took the time to review video from city council meetings months earlier where numerous residents aired their concern about all the chaos the 20k Haitians dropped in their little town had caused.
As the MSM is fond of claiming: Politifact is ignoring the context in which these claims were made.

- Blocking illegals from voting
- Slashing DEI
- Countering our foreign adversaries
- Impeaching Mayorkas & holding Garland in contempt
- And so much more
With a Republican majority in BOTH chambers next Congress, and President Trump back in the WH, we will finally be able to get our priorities signed into law. 🇺🇸

Rental property owners (including the mayor) clearing out their properties and replacing tenants with guvamint-subsidized migrants is just another juicy tidbit.
But the "big lie" nonsense is standard for appealing to the enormous % of Americans who emote don't think, don't know much outside their tiny little narrow lives, are pathological moral narcissists, incredibly selfish, and channel all these person pathologies into their "politics".

This misses something. I truly believe this. I can't say I KNOW it - because as my man Heinlein truly said, everything other than math is opinion.
Dealing with folks older than me ? Their, for some of you - you're - opinions have been rock ribbed and baffling. This or That political party is good. This or that make of car is great, and the other is a piece of shit. Always trust anyone of THIS group - but this other group should be shot on sight.
It all struck me as complete bullshit. Even as a child.
Now ? The folks younger than me, for the first time in my life, are just as rock ribbed. And their assumptions are bat-shit insane. But, at their root ? No more insane than the assumptions of two generations prior.
Posted by: How Shit Works at December 18, 2024 11:21 AM (afFsQ)
1) it’s only for 3 months, not a year
2) Democrats still control 2/3 of the process (Senate and Presidency)
3) there’s no political advantage to forcing a government shutdown as Trump takes office. (That point could be argued, but Trump doesn’t appear to want that)
4). Unstated but obvious - in a lame duck session there are enough lame duck fake Republicans there to make Hakeem Jeffries speaker for a week, and for that Dem House and Dem Senate to pass a radical year long budget designed to cause maximum trouble for Trump.
So, a bad short term bill today is still better than all the plausible alternatives currently, and a good bill is not within the range of possibilities ATM.

Vance's response on this was perfect.
The FNM said that the claim was disproved because the town officials said so. Vance pointed out individual people in the town disagreed and had called the police and the media and...wasn't it the media's job to go interview people in the town and establish who was telling the truth?
And the News Bimbo had a look of shock on her face...go interview people instead of just repeating what the government told her? What does that have to do with journalism?

1) it’s only for 3 months, not a year
2) Democrats still control 2/3 of the process (Senate and Presidency)
3) there’s no political advantage to forcing a government shutdown as Trump takes office. (That point could be argued, but Trump doesn’t appear to want that)
4). Unstated but obvious - in a lame duck session there are enough lame duck fake Republicans there to make Hakeem Jeffries speaker for a week, and for that Dem House and Dem Senate to pass a radical year long budget designed to cause maximum trouble for Trump.
So, a bad short term bill today is still better than all the plausible alternatives currently, and a good bill is not within the range of possibilities ATM.

He's there because none of the other House Republicans want the job. It's easy to forget that he's such a weak Speaker because he controls no money (unlike McCarthy, who controlled tens of millions in donor money) and he was always a backbencher with very limited support. It's his job to be the esignated whipping boy to take responsibility for what all of the other Republicans in the House want him to do, with the exception of about 30 or 40 members pf the House Freedom caucus.
We all think the House Freedom Caucus has the right idea most of the time, but remember that in this congress the votes are:
House Freedom Caucus - About 40
Everyone against them - about 395
that's just the sad facts of the matter.

The point of military action is to kill enemies and break their things until they agree with your terms. It isn't to arrest some nominal criminal. Innocent people will die and so before you go into a war you should really consider if war is appropriate based on what has happened.
But for something like the Oct 7 attack? War is completely justified...

The shutdown from that is what I recall. Hell, I'd actually forgotten it until Mannix mentioned it in passing a year or so ago.
No one remembers it.
The GOP simply refused to work with Trump on the budget on any level, using the excuse of not wanting to spent $5 billion on a border wall as the whipping boy. This is, of course, a few years before the GOP decided that sending billions to Ukraine with no oversight was just what America needed.

...The difference between what Sarah Palin would say and what the Obama campaign would say was remarkable. This was also the beginning of the birther lie about Obama. This difference between the parties grew with the internet. The internet created this frictionless way for Republicans to spread their lies and for the lies to multiple in many ways...
...Newt Gingrich when he helped Republicans take over the House in the 1990s. He cemented this culture that anything goes, lying is fine...At the same time, you had the rise of right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh outside the political world, with his combative scorched-earth approach and an iffy approach to the truth...
I should note the big role talk radio and Fox News play in providing this echo chamber for the lies. The lies get repeated.
My favorite quote that sums up the party’s culture came from Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman in Virginia. He said that Republicans see their cause as this epic struggle, and that is so important that it justifies anything—and it justifies lying.

I went to a lot of NYS animal forums and saw a bunch of what I assume were left leaning people saying things like, "Well of course the governor won't let this stand - she's a kind compassionate democract!" and...I might have egged them on telling them to call the Governor's office and demand she fire the head of the DEC. But...as I expected nothing happened. The leftist governor doesn't give a shit that the leftist head of the DEC murdered some people's pets. And...if there was an opposition party in NY this is something they might have tried to involved themselves in...
Oh the conservatives in these groups? Their consistent response was "If you live in a state like NY you should make sure to not draw the attention of the government to your pets. It won't end well"

Ireland was in part the breadbasket of the area and provided beef, mutton, grain crops, etc. Potatoes there were mainly for internal consumption. This is all based on 18th century accounts that I have read during the Corn Law debates and such.
Right now, there are significant questions for the same reason about letting Scotland go its own way and a lot of Scots being terrified that UK lets them go. The uncertainty rests in whether the oil reserves would go to Scotland or to the UK and whether Scots could rejoin the EU for its subsidies (now appearing a bit shaky).

I think the Brits were more concerned about Joe Kennedy's defeatist attitude and reports to FDR about how WWII was lost.

"News Analysis", which started in the late 80s, I think, was the worst thing to happen to the MSM. It turned beat reporters into 'analysts' that tried to inject their opinion into straight news stories to inflate their intellectual profile. It was bad enough that sports journalists had done the same thing for years, but that bled into the 'real' news departments, making them far worse.

Reality: DJIA is up 15% in 2024 and basically flat over the past month. There’s no panic needed. Of course the media ignores that. Also ignores that while DJIA has had a down couple of weeks, SP500 which is a much broader snapshot of the market is up 3% in the past month.

Right now, there are significant questions for the same reason about letting Scotland go its own way and a lot of Scots being terrified that UK lets them go. The uncertainty rests in whether the oil reserves would go to Scotland or to the UK and whether Scots could rejoin the EU for its subsidies (now appearing a bit shaky).

Most of the media coverage is based in creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt for anything that the media dislikes. For people or situations it likes, it completely glosses over any caveats, etc. so Joe Biden was stronk as bull until it became necessary to change the narrative to Kamala has the light of the world shining out of her patootie.
This outcome comes from a class of people known as journalists that are simply despicable in their practice of their occupation. Violent drug addled bums on the street would be a far better sort of humanity than those that consciously lie and mislead others with every word they write or speak.

It's similar to Ivermectin and HCQ, Trump, straining his mind back to his days at medical school, just misremembered that Ivermectin and HCQ were long considered to be promising prophylactic antivirals and just blurted it out along with his recommendation to inject bleach.

Sometimes, sometimes not. You start to get into a loop where bad economic news such as the overstated employment stats for the past year get corrected downward but result in stock price increases. Which is because of perceived chance for Fed to lower interest rates. The reverse is true for inflation rates which came in hot in November 2024.
Unless you like to gamble or have intimate knowledge of a particular stock or situation (such as new tech coming on the market, etc.) then indexes are the way to invest.

Because that would cause a shutdown, and not even Donald Trump appears to support a shutdown as he takes over. If one is to be had, it's probably better for it to happen with Trump's appointees in charge of the various agencies, rather than Biden's.
