Menendez gives a pretty good speech, but talking about good things you do does not make crime OK.

North Carolina finally expands Medicaid, which will save lives. The biggest holdouts are Texas and Florida, where millions of low income people are denied healthcare coverage because of ideology.

Oh, good! I’m going for my booster this afternoon. My kid and wife won’t have the latest, though; will they have to go through a Windows update-like process before their zombie mode is activated? Or am I going to wind up eating them first?

What a clown. But in a nation where millions of people vote for Trump to be president, it must be expected that idiocy is popular.

On a more serious note, it’s impossible to believe that the zombie apocalypse trope and the right wing fever dream of mowing down ravening hordes of undesirables when the shit hits the fan are unrelated.

So, I got my latest COVID shot Saturday.

What exactly is this freak saying is gong to happen to me? I’m turning into a literal zombie due to nanobots in my blood? The 5G signal will instantly kill me? My mortgage will become null and void because of the cell phone tower by my house? I’m going to be highlighted with a tag over my head like an video game and people are going to start shooting at me?

Darth Cheney is evil and depraved enough for practically anything. Yet he is also
very loudly and clearly opposed to MAGA. I think this is because he is also one of the best connected people in the world and he foresees a bottomless catastrophe for Trumpism and everything connected with it. Am I sure of this? Of course not but it’s the way to bet. It’s a certainty that he is not acting out of principle or anything resembling moral conviction.

I don’t see a division there. Trump IS an Establishment Republican since he is the logical and natural outcome of 60 years of Republican agitation and subversion. As we have seen in the farcical pre-primary campaign, he is the party’s overwhelming favorite. People like Cheney aren’t afraid he will succeed in gaining absolute power, they are afraid he will fail and permanently eliminate their chances of achieving the same power. Among conservatives that I know, there is a pervasive feeling that the demographic clock is ticking and the end of pluralistic democracy is “now or never.” They are afraid Trump will drop the ball, and it will be “never.”

Ramadamadingdong lets loose with another fart.

Vivek Ramaswamy implies Hunter Biden is reason behind US aid to Ukraine

During a Saturday Iowa appearance, 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy alleged that President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden is the reason for the United States’ aid to Ukraine, NBC reports.

The GOP hopeful made his remarks as “Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) and his colleagues have been alleging that President Joe Biden took a bribe from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which Hunter Biden represented as a lobbyist.”

NBC notes:

Russia invaded Ukraine in the winter of 2022, years after Biden left Burisma’s board. Since the invasion, the Biden administration and Congress have given billions of dollars of aid to Ukraine despite polls that show the American people are split on sending more funding.

Donald Trump tried to peel off union support for President Joe Biden by accusing him of sending jobs to China Monday.

rawstory.com

The president will visit Michigan on Tuesday - a day before Trump is expected there - to show support for the striking United Auto Workers, and on Monday morning the ex-president raged against Biden in a social media post.

“Crooked Joe Biden, who is killing the United Autoworkers with his WEAK stance on China and his ridiculous insistence on All Electric Cars, every one of which will be made in China, saw that I was going to Michigan this week (Wednesday!), so the Fascists in the White House just announced he would go there tomorrow,” Trump posted on his Truth Social website.

“That was the only way to get him out of the basement and off his lazy [a—]!”

The president will visit Michigan on Tuesday - a day before Trump is expected there - to show support for the striking United Auto Workers, and on Monday morning the ex-president raged against Biden in a social media post.

“Crooked Joe Biden, who is killing the United Autoworkers with his WEAK stance on China and his ridiculous insistence on All Electric Cars, every one of which will be made in China, saw that I was going to Michigan this week (Wednesday!), so the Fascists in the White House just announced he would go there tomorrow,” Trump posted on his Truth Social website.

“That was the only way to get him out of the basement and off his lazy [a—]!”

Showing once again that Trump is a real CLASS (LESS) HOLE.

he must have had a miserable time in elementary school.
he’s never gotten over it

re: #73 KGxvi

I’m not a “gun person” (I’ve never fired one that wasn’t attached to a video game or that shot anything other than water), I’ve only ever handled, maybe three, in my life (and one was a bb gun), but… um, that doesn’t seem like a very safe way of holding a gun.

let’s not be too cavalier; “it’s just for a picture.”
NO.
you take someones gun and hold it, you’re fucking responsible.
someone gives you their gun to hold, they’re fucking responsible too.

there is no ‘it’s just a photo op, or a movie set’
this is serious, deadly shit.
if YOU dont know how to verify a gun is safe, DONT ACCEPT IT.
cause the gun doesnt fucking care what you don’t know.

remember that short story i told this morning about diving and electoral-vote.com?

here’s what i learned from ‘R.P’ in 1995. i make sure it’s page 1 of every dive manual i teach from:

Cardinal Rule of Diving #1 - The Responsibility Contract

WHATEVER happens to you when you willingly go underwater is COMPLETELY and ENTIRELY your own responsibility! If you cannot accept this responsibility, stay out of the water!

guns are no goddamned different.

For the last several years, The New York Times, supposed bastion of the “liberal media,” has been posting endless diatribes about the supposed “excesses of the left,” usually from white men like Ross Douthat and David Brooks, with a few Bari Weisses thrown in for good measure. In other words, people who largely benefited from the previous status quo. They’ve also published an untold number (perhaps thousands at this point, who even knows!) of op-eds desperately trying to make the case that it is possible to be a super good person who really cares about other human beings but also doesn’t so much think that trans people should have human rights.

They have yet to get the reception they have been hoping for. They’ve been widely criticized by the Left, and the Right has failed to embrace them, largely on the grounds that they are The New York Times.

Clearly desperate, they have ceased beating around the bush and published an op-ed this past Friday from Yascha Mounk, literally titled “How to Argue Against Identity Politics Without Turning Into a Reactionary.”

Mounk starts out with The Legend of Bret Weinstein — the evolutionary biologist who quit his job at Evergreen College in Washington because people criticized him for refusing to participate in a school-wide anti-racism awareness activity and went from someone who considered themselves a liberal into a founding member of the so-called “Intellectual Dark Web” (a term invented by his own brother) and a conspiracy theorist and crank who “has insinuated that the Sept. 11 attacks were an inside job and called for health officials who recommended that children be vaccinated against Covid to face prosecution modeled on the Nuremberg Trials.”

And Mounk? He wants to help people be Weinstein in the first half of the story without turning into the reactionary he turned into in the second.

Herbert spent the next five years researching, writing, and revising what would eventually become the novel Dune,[30] which was initially serialized in Analog magazine as two shorter works, Dune World (1963) and The Prophet of Dune (1965).[31] The serialized version was expanded and reworked—and rejected by more than 20 publishers—before being published by Chilton Books, a printing house best known for its auto repair manuals, in 1965.[32] Dune won the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1966, and the 1966 Hugo Award.[33][34]

Centrism almost always ends up moving right because reactionary policy preserves aspects of the status quo that centrism values while leftist positions…even the most diluted socialist or anarchist notions…would be highly disruptive to the kinds of power/money norms that inform your average NYT reader that everything is fine, the contradictions inherent to the system are not adding up.

People like to sneer about horseshoe theory but historically the fascists get into power with help from “reasonable” normies that imagine that all the revanchism is manageable but the capture of state power by the bourgeoisie must be preserved. Over and over clever people who went to the right schools invent reasons that they *must* side with the brutes; most just want to keep things the same but some imagine that they’ll double their take if they bet right. To this end, they will invent justifications that speak in their preferred timbre of pseudo-skepticism and pseudo-analysis and pseudo-science.

SSDD. If I had a nickel for every fire-breathing reactionary who insisted they were a “liberal” until their particular ox was gored, I could afford to give a fuck about their “concerns.” The real thrust of the article is the same as ones that have been printed over and over again for generations: “I don’t like being associated with total fucking losers, here’s how people like me can still be smug bastards without looking like total fucking losers.” Funny how every one of them begins and ends with the idea that you’re totally right, everybody else is totally wrong, and the “solution” is coming up with ways to assert that without looking like a total fucking loser.

hi

Surprising good local news behind the hide button

My wife found my lost Tracfone flip phone and charger.

They were lost in January when we were in Denver having our car serviced.

It was lost in the bottom of her purse. It has one heck of a battery: After nine months it was still fully charged.

I’ve contacted Tracfone and they reactivated my phone and telephone number.

I still can’t use it at my house because I’m four blocks from the cell tower though. I had to go down to the village shop to turn it on so it could be loaded with its new minutes.

I’ll try it out tomorrow when I go to Cheyenne. Eye doc, staying overnight.

Darth Cheney wants a law and order Empire universe. Trump and his MAGA cohorts want a Mad Max universe. The two are not compatible.

Darth Cheney does not consider Putin an ally; his disagreement with Trump is basically on foreign policy and I doubt there is any overlap in their perspective with dealing with other nations.

Republicans: “Protestors shouldn’t shut down traffic just to get what they want.”

Also Republicans: “We’re going to shut down the entire government just to get what we want.”

I’ll believe that the people who are screaming that EVs are a negative for American auto workers because they’ll cost jobs are actually serious about caring for those workers when they start advocating for ripping out all of the automation and return to manufacturing techniques that double or triple the work force to maintain the same level of production.

He just had his 90th birthday a couple days ago! 😪

RIP David. First time I remember seeing him on TV was in The Great Escape and 2 very scary Outer Limits episodes!

Pretty much. More realistically, it’s the oil companies dropping a fucking brick. The car companies are happy, the workers are happy, but the guys whose industry is about to undergo a massive decline are losing their fucking minds.

Norway and South Korea have new gas car bans that go into effect in 2025. 25 countries (and 2 states - California and New York), plan to phase them out by 2040, with Costa Rica shooting for 2050.

But it’s not like gas cars will just disappear. It will probably take close to a decade to phase out 90% of the gas cars on the road. And I suspect there will always be a handful of gas cars on the road, though I suspect most of them to be of the hot rod/vintage variety - like by 2040 you’ll see cars made after 2025 or before 1980 and almost nothing in between

Noticed this note at the bottom of the obit:

Bob Thomas, a longtime Associated Press journalist who died in 2014, was the principal writer of this obituary.

Obviously, they’ve had an obit for McCallum prepared for a long time.

The US badly needs to decisively reject its Nazi party (i.e. the GOP) in 2024, so I sure hope your gut feeling is correct.

Trump just visited the gun company (Palmetto State Armory) that supplied August’s racist Jacksonville mass murderer of 3 Black people at a Dollar General store with the gun he painted a swastika on

re: #162 Dangerman (sigh…only in America)

Cars used to need service / oil changes every 2500-3000 miles.
Now it could be 2x or up to 5x or more.

Putting service stations out of work

Electric vehicles needing reduced service as opposed to ICE vehicles is an attractive selling point to municipalities.

What’s going to kill off most of those cars is planned obsolescence and the increasing efforts by American manufacturers to cram more and more parts into their inventories that are not user-serviceable. With a YT video and a little effort most people with a basic understanding of mechanical principles can rebuild a carburetor, clean up the points in a distributor, and diagnose simple issues like timing or fuel mixture. But when an ECU goes bad, the only option for most people is to drag it to the dealer and pay out the nose for an OEM replacement. Once the inventory of those dries up because nobody can make money manufacturing them anymore, a lot of today’s sleek new models are gonna be in the scrapyard.

It’s easy enough to burn oil to generate electricity to charge electric vehicles. We burn gas to do that right now because there’s a lot of gas but if the world requires far more electricity as EVs start to dominate the market and the price of oil falls then some gas consumption will be replaced with cheap oil.

China is greatly limiting sales of gas cars starting this next year. China is the biggest car market in the world. As gas engine factories and parts suppliers make the switch to EV tech it will become clear to even the most die-hard anti-EV knuckle dragger MAGA type that EVs are far less expensive than a gas vehicle by 2028.
