Of course. The most fatal mistake a Republican politician can make is accidentally letting their real feelings slip. For reference, see Romney’s “47%” speech.

Chinese tourists are weird. Quite a few have a lot of money, and little sense, and do some really dumb shit, like opening the emergency exit on a plane for “fresh air” — on the ground, thankfully — and letting their little kids pee or poop on the sidewalk like they do back in the villages. The cognac lady probably wasn’t aware of restrictions about liquids on the plane, or about the duty-free shop, which will deliver your cognac to the plane for you.

I bet she slept well on the flight, though.

Somehow, this was lost in the last couple of days of political hell, but really needs to be mentioned -

Breitbart has officially crossed the Rubicon.

Not only have they published an article attempting to explain away the white nationalist “alternative right”, but are openly embracing the movement, including its neo-Nazi core components.

An Establishment Conservative’s Guide To The Alt-Right

Previously an obscure subculture, the alt-right burst onto the national political scene in 2015. Although initially small in number, the alt-right has a youthful energy and jarring, taboo-defying rhetoric that have boosted its membership and made it impossible to ignore.

It has already triggered a string of fearful op-eds and hit pieces from both Left and Right: Lefties dismiss it as racist, while the conservative press, always desperate to avoid charges of bigotry from the Left, has thrown these young readers and voters to the wolves as well.

National Review attacked them as bitter members of the white working-class who worship “father-Führer” Donald Trump. Betsy Woodruff of The Daily Beast attacked Rush Limbaugh for sympathising with the “white supremacist alt-right.” BuzzFeed begrudgingly acknowledged that the movement has a “great feel for how the internet works,” while simultaneously accusing them of targeting “blacks, Jews, women, Latinos and Muslims.”
[…]
The media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer during his editorship of Taki’s Magazine. In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight[dot]com, which would become a center of alt-right thought.

Alongside other nodes like Steve Sailer’s blog, VDARE and American Renaissance, AlternativeRight[dot]com became a gathering point for an eclectic mix of renegades who objected to the established political consensus in some form or another. All of these websites have been accused of racism.

It bears mentioning that this article has about 4500 comments on it in just over a day’s time - and the stench of white supremacists there is absolutely overwhelming.

Chuck has transcribed the first part of this interview with Michelle Fields, and he has made a point of having her say “bias” as an adjective instead of “biased.” He’s even got it in his headline with (sic) next to it.

When I listen to her, though, I hear her say “biased” correctly, but with a very soft /d/ or /t/ at the end.

So, what you people hear: “bias” or “biased”?

It really deserves to be quoted in full:

MADDOW: — no matter what lese happens.

I have to ask, though, if you have thought about whether or not you will, at some point, turn your fundraising ability toward helping the Democratic Party more broadly, to helping their campaign committees for the House and the Senate and for other — for other elections?

SANDERS: Well, right now, Rachel, as you are more than aware, our job is to — what I’m trying to do is to win the Democratic nomination. And I’ll tell you something, I never in a million years, Rachel, would have believed that we could have, uh, received over six million individual campaign contributions averaging 27 bucks apiece, a very different way of raising money than Secretary Clinton has pursued.

So right now, we are enormously appreciative. You’re right, without that type of support, we would not be where we are right now. We would not be able to continue this campaign to the Democratic convention. So I am just blown away and very appreciative of all of the kind of support that we have gotten from grassroots America.

MADDOW: Well, obviously your priority is the nomination, but I mean you raised Secretary Clinton there. She has been fundraising both for the nomination and for the Democratic Party. At some point, do you think — do you foresee a time during this campaign when you’ll start doing that?

SANDERS: Well, we’ll see. And, I mean right now, again, our focus is on winning the nomination. Secretary Clinton has access, uh, to kinds of money, uh, that we don’t, that we’re not even interested in. So let’s take it one step at a time. And the step that we’re in right now is to win the Democratic nomination.

This really is Sanders in a nutshell, first refusing to answer the question by falling back on his “Hey, we’ve raised millions in small amounts, ain’t we just special!” shtick, and then when asked the question again just shrugging his shoulders in a noncommittal fashion. But making sure to imply twice that Hillary is somehow raising her funds in a less than moral fashion, as opposed to his “purer than thou” approach.

I agree. To me, the Rachel/Bernie interview has that “smarmy” vibe to it that I detest. I listened to Rachel talk to HRC last night and felt, just like I do with Obama interviews, that I was getting thoughtful responses to the questions being asked.

So, GotNwes played this one straight.

ANALYSIS: ‘creepy blogger’ Chuck Johnson *really* doesn’t like Michelle Fields, or her mother, or unbiased reporting

Now designated by Rachel Maddow as “the World’s Creepiest Blogger in Exile,” Chuck C. Johnson has decided to live up to his new nickname by putting Michelle Fields in his crosshairs.

Fields, of course, is the former Breitbart reporter who accused Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager for Donald Trump (R-Blowhard), of grabbing her hard enough to leave bruises on her forearm. Fields was attempting to ask the Mighty Donald a question when Lewandowski cut her off by pulling her away.

Fields followed up by filing charges against the Trump aide, who reported to the Jupiter, FL, police department for arraignment a couple of days ago.

Both Fields’ accusations and Lewandowski’s arrest have created a veritable shitstorm of invective on the Internet, and Fields has been a particular target of Trump partisans, in particular “Dim” Jim Hoft (the Gateway Pundit, aka Stupidest Man on the Internet) and Chuck C. Johnson of GotNewsDotCom (which is not us!).

Yesterday, Johnson published two posts on his blog, targeting Fields and for no logical reason, her mother.

Yes, her mother. Don’t you know, every Award Winning JournalistTM goes after a subject’s mother in the pursuit of a story. As soon as we can find another example, we’ll let you know.

The battery lasts longer. I don’t have to turn off my wristwatch on an airplane. I can check the time a lot less obviously than by using my phone.

I am disappointed by the voters who say, “OK I’m just going to show you how angry I am!” And I’m particularly unimpressed with people who sat out the Congressional elections of 2010 and 2014 and then are angry at Democrats because we haven’t been able to produce public policies they like. They contributed to the public policy problems and now they are blaming other people for their own failure to vote, and then it’s like, “Oh look at this terrible system,” but it was their voting behavior that brought it about.

At the heart of the pro-life movement* is the tendency to care more about the abstract ideal of “mother” ” than the actual person. And in many cases, this abstraction arises from a theology in which the soul counts more the person, and thus dying in virtue (playing out the designated gender role) is still a win.

It’s similar to how they only care about the welfare of the neonate in spiritual terms…which is why CPCs are more likely to push for adoptions through a private religious network than help a young woman raise her child.

WASHINGTON (NNS) — The last surviving female World War I veteran, Charlotte Winters, died March 27 in Boonsboro, Md. She was 109 years old.

Winters served in the U.S. Naval Reserve as a yeoman, including service at a gun production facility at the Washington Navy Yard. She continued to work for the Navy in Washington until her retirement in 1953.

Porn a threat to virility.

A growing number of young men are convinced that their sexual responses have been sabotaged because their brains were virtually marinated in porn when they were adolescents. Their generation has consumed explicit content in quantities and varieties never before possible, on devices designed to deliver content swiftly and privately, all at an age when their brains were more plastic-more prone to permanent change-than in later life. These young men feel like unwitting guinea pigs in a largely unmonitored decade-long experiment in sexual conditioning. The results of the experiment, they claim, are literally a downer.

Porn a threat to virility.

They also have to be taught that 99% of online porn has nothing to do with real sex between real live human beings. It is the sexual equivalent of being raised on Marvel Comics movies and expecting everyone to have mutant super powers.

Stillwater Elementary School Evacuated Due To Bomb Threat

STILLWATER, Oklahoma - Westwood Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma, was evacuated Wednesday morning after a woman showed up at the school and made threatening comments.
According to Stillwater Superintendent, the woman, who has not been identified, does not have children at this school. Stillwater police held a news conference and said the woman is of Middle Eastern descent. She reportedly showed up at the school and said she was there to, “Take the kids to heaven.” The school was immediately evacuated.

Police said the woman was carrying a purse with wire hanging out. She did not have a weapon. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad responded to the scene and examined the purse. They did not find anything suspicious in the purse.

The woman was not arrested but she was taken into custody for a mental health evaluation. Note that she apparently did not threaten to use a bomb or say that the wires and purse were a bomb. So, we have someone who is of “Middle Eastern descent” carrying something that looks(sort of) like a bomb (but not apparently to the police).

Freepers, naturally, are going apeshit over it. To them, it was a bomb, and she is a Muslim and a terrorist.

Ignorance as evidence:

“How many stories like this never get reported except locally? FR readers know this but how many blissfully ignorant Americans have no clue.”

Oh, what do they do???? Political correctness problem,
Mental health issue vs. “religion of peace” vs. radical Islam.
Oklahoma, where someone beheads a female co-worker while shouting Allah Akbar! and the incident is called workplace violence.
The muslim population in the U.S. must harbor a lot of people with “mental health issues”.

Really? Is the number, whatever it might be, unusually high for a population that numbers in the millions? By the RWNJs’ own admission, conservative America seems to harbor a hell of a lot of people with “mental issues” too, basically every nut who commits a mass shooting, but that’s different.

re: #26 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

Chuck has transcribed the first part of this interview with Michelle Fields, and he has made a point of having her say “bias” as an adjective instead of “biased.” He’s even got it in his headline with (sic) next to it.

When I listen to her, though, I hear her say “biased” correctly, but with a very soft /d/ or /t/ at the end.

So, what you people hear: “bias” or “biased”?

Video

Hard to tell because the audio is compressed. But I think she has a way dropping the t sounds off the end of words - her “trust” sounds like “truss”, “post” sounds like “pose”.

It means the same thing, but the historical context makes it more significant

From the wiki

[Niemoeller] was a national conservative and initially a supporter of Adolf Hitler, but he became one of the founders of the Confessional Church, which opposed the nazification of German Protestant churches.

He vehemently opposed the Nazis’ Aryan Paragraph, but made remarks about Jews that some scholars have called antisemitic. For his opposition to the Nazis’ state control of the churches, Niemöller was imprisoned in Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps from 1937 to 1945.

He narrowly escaped execution and survived imprisonment. After his imprisonment, he expressed his deep regret about not having done enough to help the victims of the Nazis

A joke:

A couple was golfing one day on a very exclusive golf course, lined with million dollar homes.

On the third tee, the husband said, “Honey be very careful when you drive the ball. Don’t knock out any windows, it will cost a fortune to fix.”

The wife teed off and shanked it right through the window of the biggest house on the course.

The husband cringed and said, “I told you to watch out for the houses. Lets go apologize, and see how much this is going to cost.”

They walked up, knocked on the door, and heard a voice say, “Come in.”

They opened the door and saw glass all over the floor and broken bottle lying on its side in the foyer. A man sitting on the couch and rubbing a lump on his head said, “Are you the people that broke that window?”

“Yes, sorry about that,” the husband replied.

“No actually I want to thank you. I’m a genie that was trapped for a thousand years in that bottle. You released me. I’m allowed to grant three wishes. I’ll give you each one wish and keep one for myself.”

“OK, great!” the husband said. “I want a million dollars a year for life.”

“No problem, its the least I could do. And you, what do you want?” the genie said, looking at the wife.

“I want a house in every country in the world,” said the wife.

“Consider it done,” the genie replied.

“And what is your wish, genie?” the husband asked.

“Well since I have been trapped in that bottle, I haven’t had sex with a woman in a thousand years. My wish is to sleep with your wife.”

The husband looked at the wife and said, “Well we did get a lot of money, and all those houses, honey. I guess I don’t care.” It was OK with the wife too.

The genie took the wife upstairs and ravished her for two hours. After it was over the, the genie rolled over, looked at the wife and asked, “How old are you and your husband?”

“He’s 35 and I’m 33,” she replied.

“And you both believe in genies? That’s amazing….”

But that calmer and more rational argument doesn’t lend itself to a Big Boldface Breitbart-type Headline, so Shapiro goes in for the DERPy ‘Fascist’ argument. He has left breitbart.com, but has not learned enough from the events leading up to his departure.

One of my college professors used to describe his class as a benevolent dictatorship. I would say that’s a decent description of parts of college, but I also got to do things at college that I never got to get away with at home, neither before college or my house as an adult. So they’re a lot freer than people like Ben want to admit.

IIRC, Obama did. I don’t know enough about political history to know before then. I think they did though, because I know that one of the thing a president tends to want is for some Congresspeople to believe their fortunes are tied to the president, that way they’ll be more inclined to vote with him or (hopefully) her.

Of course. There’s also the right wing habit of thinking the two parties are virtually identical to what they were in their infancy 150 years ago which is quite funny because there’s really only one movement that constantly uses states rights as a justification and it’s not liberal Democrats. I don’t think today’s conservatives would justify slavery but the states rights argument is and always has been a preferred one of the political right i.e. the Democrats of 1861 and the Republicans of 2016. It’s how black and white thinking works and why it’s a dangerous for people like that to have power.

My favorite though is when white conservatives try to tell African-Americans especially older ones “Don’t you know who the racists of the 1960’s were, DEMOCRATS!” And to which the older African-American can respond “Yes, it’s true, they were Democrats, it’s also true that they left the Democratic party for the Republican party because the Democratic party began prioritizing civil rights on a federal level and the Republican party ran away from it.” It’s like when Rand Paul tried to talk down to the Howard University students telling them that they’d be amazed to know that the founders of the NAACP were Republicans. African-American voters know that the Republican party was once the party of Lincoln. They also know that the past 40 some years has been a retreat from Abraham Lincoln’s legacy.

re: #87 The Vicious Babushka

After Sergey broke down the actual Niemoller quote I decided to never use it in a meme again. The reason Niemoller didn’t speak out was because he was a Hitler supporter until the end. That is never mentioned.

I understand your stance. I remember Sergey discussing it. It was a revalation that wasn’t clear to many because of the way the quote has been used without the back story.

This is hard to explain, but I’ll give it a shot.

To me the quote is still a good quote to think about but not in the way it was taken by most. Sergey is correct.

With the revelations that Niemoller was a supporter, it says to me is that if you allow wicked stuff to happen, even as a supporter of the wickedness, you still can get run over by that wickedness when it comes your way.

Even if you are a monster you are not protected from monsters. Because monsters don’t care. They eat their own.

Was Niemoller saying it was wrong to fall for following his base instincts from the get-go and that he devalued himself to the point he too was seen as less than human like those he was willing to give up at first?

In a way it is sort of like Faust. The devil’s deal sounds so good you take it not thinking you are working with the devil who is never to be trusted. But because there is human benefit your thinking is clouded from the fact the devil gets his due.

Does that make sense? It is a tough twisting concept to put to words.

It’s like people falling for Trump. It sounds good to them because he promises benefits. What will be the cost to yours and others humanity by backing someone like Trump?

I see a lot of his attitude today with American Christians, particularly the religious right. The attitude that will countenance all manner of injustices in society, only objecting when the rights of Christians are infringed upon.

The Episcopal Church to which I belong is different in this regard, which is among the reasons I became one several years ago. There’s a refreshing lack of Christian-chauvinism I guess I would call it. (Of course I can’t speak for how TEC acted in the past or how some Episcopalian members or clergy may feel today).

Donald Trump to meet with advisors to discuss Donald Trump’s latest boneheaded statement.

Heard a comment last night, I believe it was during the MSNBC gang discussing their day with all the candidates. I had it on in the background and I’m pretty sure it was Rachel saying she had been talking to some Republican party big wigs that were upset with Trump.

Their take was Trump was a “cartoon” of what a Republican conservative is. The implication being Trump isn’t really a Republican at all he is running like he sees Republicans depicted on the ‘net on TV and in the media, etc.

I thought that was interesting. Especially when I have a feeling there are other Republican cartoon characters. And it doesn’t take in the fact that what Trump may just be regurgitating actually is what Republican politicians say.

The Republican National Committee has launched a website to inform the public about what happens in the event of contested GOP convention, the Washington Examiner reported. The website, ConventionFacts.gop, lists party rules regarding the delegates required for a candidate to be nominated to lead the GOP’s 2016 convention, as well as the process if no candidate initially meets the requirement.

“ConventionFacts.gop is a tool for voters to learn about convention delegates, rules, and how the overall process works in a simple, easy to understand format,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “Conventions are democracy in action and our Party’s gathering in Cleveland will be an exciting, transparent, and fair process.”

Indeed and that’s the biggest problem I’ve seen with him and other issues candidates like him in the past. For all their great ideas for change, they don’t seem to value the importance of building a coalition.

The level of scorn was because she was actively advocating that Palin should have aborted Trig because he had downs syndrome and was going to be a burden on the Palin family. While most of us here at the time didn’t support her for VP, we most definitely supported her decision to give birth knowing that the child was handicapped.

If you read the quote the commentor was stating, essentially, that should have aborted Trig because they already had 4 healthy kids. So theres that too.

Utah passes ‘fetal pain’ abortion law requiring anesthesia

Dr. Anne Davis, the consulting medical director for Physicians for Reproductive Health, said she believes no ethical doctor is going to give powerful drugs to a patient if it could harm the patient’s health.
“Imagine that I sit down with a patient and tell her what she can expect and how I’m going to take care of her and somehow I work in, ‘Oh, by the way, the state has told me that I have to give this to you?’ She asks, ‘Why?’ And I say, ‘There’s no benefit to you, but there will be additional risk.’”
“How as a doctor do I live with that? This law is about stopping abortion,” Davis said. “This is just another measure to deter women from getting abortions.”

re: #294 Jenner7

Once again, the GOP requiring unnecessary and expensive procedures for women seeking abortion - not only the immediate cost of having to be put under, but the lost wages of the days following recovering from the procedure and the additional costs for hospitalization and the potential for complications.

All over junk science claims about fetal pain.

The woman is a vessel carrying a precious baby. Who cares what a woman wants. But once said precious baby is born, given the baby absolutely nothing in way of assistance because you’re shredding the safety net, want to eliminate Obamacare and health care programs for women and children because they’re too costly.

Oh, and prevent people who have insurance from getting birth control through their insurance because the employer’s “religious beliefs” prohibit it - even though you as the insured is paying for it and the employer gets tax breaks for setting up the insurance coverage. Birth control/contraception definitely makes it less likely you’ll need an abortion, but these same forced birthers are pushing to eliminate birth control access too.

Small government my ass. They want government so small that they can crawl up inside the lady bits.

At the time, yes, this site was pretty hard core Islamophobic. But even back then Charles had his limits. I’m pretty sure if you go back and start clicking on avatars, you will find most of them have been blocked either because they flounced when Charles finally said enough when the others started hanging with the European white supremacist crowd or they kept pushing hate speech and advocating violence.

Once Charles realized which way the wind was blowing he rapidly cut ties with those people and this blog has been a better place since. Those who couldn’t or wouldn’t change either flounced or got banned.

I have decent hopes for Lucifer, but haven’t got around to checking it out yet. Feels like the kind of show that could get a lot better if it finds its “voice”, like Buffy did.

After the first few episodes, I had lost faith on the show. But the last few episodes have restored some of that faith. The show is hitting a good stride with this plot direction.

re: #23 freetoken

I try to keep up with our cultural creations so yes, I’ve taken a stab Lucifer, in part because the executive producer is such a big name.

The show just strikes me as odd.

It definitively is. Especially the weird format they selected to carry the story (police procedural? Really?).
