GOHMERT! Louie Won’t Stand for Gay Space Colonies!

The latest episode of Life With Gohmert!
WTF • Views: 51,809

The dumbest man in Congress, Louie Gohmert (R-TX), has been doing some thinking. And we all know how painful that can be, especially for someone like Louie. But he tries, goddammit, he tries.

Louie has come to some important conclusions about the people we should send on a space ship to establish a colony when an asteroid destroys the Earth. According to Rep. Louie, humanity would be doomed if we were foolish enough to send gay animals and people into space.

Louie is a modern day Cassandra, people, without the trans-gender implications of calling him “Cassandra Gohmert.” Because he’s quite happy with going to the men’s bathroom as he is.

He said that if lawmakers had to decide “whether humanity would go forward or not” in case of an imminent asteroid collision by putting people in a “space ship that can go, as Matt Damon did in the movie, plant a colony somewhere, we can have humans survive this terrible disaster about to befall, if you could decide what 40 people you put on the spacecraft that would save humanity, how many of those would be same-sex couples? You’re wanting to save humankind for posterity, basically a modern-day Noah, you have that ability to be a modern day Noah, you can preserve life. How many same-sex couples would you take from the animal kingdom and from humans to put on a spacecraft to perpetuate humanity and the wildlife kingdom?”

There’s something really wrong with right wing politicians who obsess over homosexuality to this extent.

I’m thinking of the Muppets “Pigs in Spaaaccceeee” TV parody right now, but with Gohmert yelling “Gays in Spaaaccceee!”

We could take four heterosexual couples, married, and put them on an island where they have everything they need to sustain life. Then take four all-male couples and put them on an island with all they need to sustain life, take four couples of women, married, and put them on an island, and let’s come back in 100 to 200 years and see which one nature says is the preferred marriage.

Nature says they would all be dead, Louie.

In his ignorance Gohmert! apparently assumes that it is literally impossible for gay people to procreate, even with the survival of the species on the line. This rather reminds me of Rush Limbaugh’s belief that a woman who has more sex will need more birth control pills. It doesn’t work that way, RWNJs.

Its stupid anyway. A minimum viable population is several thousand individuals, and I guarantee you some of them are going to be gay, which doesn’t, of course, mean they can’t engage in heterosexual sex or artificial insemination.

Big Beautiful Door  May 26, 2016 • 9:04:41pm

Anyway, if any of you are worried that Trump has an edge because its the Republicans “turn” to win the presidency after Obama’s two terms in office, the notion that voters think that way is almost certainly a myth. Its based on the fact that the last seven times a party has won the previous two presidential elections its lost six times, losing in 1952, 1960, 1968, 1976, 2000 and 2008. However since the two parties are usually pretty evenly matched, losing six out of seven contests can easily occur entirely by chance. More important factors include the economy, the level of social anxiety concerning national or global affairs, the quality of the two candidates, and whether either of the two parties has assembled a stable voting majority. The 2000 election looks like the best election to support the “its the other guys turn” theory with Gore losing despite the best economy in decades and Clinton’s high popularity. But look at the other factors. Gore was most definitely a step down in quality of candidate from Clinton, and George Bush was an excellent campaigner, however bad a president he made. Plus Gore did not have a stable coalition of the majority of voters; Clinton won twice with less than half the vote thanks to Ross Perot. Instead of a third party challenge from a center-right candidate who probably took more votes from the GOP, Gore faced a challenge from the left by Nader.
Now let’s look at 2016. Clinton has the benefit of a growing economy and a popular outgoing Democratic President free of scandal. While like Gore she is a weak candidate compared to the outgoing President, she will be blessed with the most disliked opponent to ever be nominated by a major party, Donald Trump. Her challenge on the left is occurring during the primary battle rather than in the general, when Dr. Jill Stein will take few votes, but Trump faces a challenge on the right from likely libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, whom some polls show could take up to 10% of the vote. Plus Clinton inherits the Obama coalition of racial, ethnic and religious minorities, single women, and moderate to liberal whites which constituted a majority of the electorate in the last two presidential elections and encompasses the fastest growing demographic groups in the country. Trump’s effort to form a coalition of conservative whites and blue collar white men faces an uphill battle to reach 270 electoral votes. Its not the Republican’s “turn” to win the presidency; the odds heavily favor Clinton.

The Purple Thread, the Virgin’s Ear and the Book of the Annunciation

Perceiving the mystery of the Incarnation requires patient contemplation and attention to detail. It is easy to miss the fact that in the Sinai icon, Mary’s left ear is partially uncovered. A series of Church Fathers expressed the conviction that Jesus, the Eternal Word, was conceived by Mary’s profound listening. St Augustine preached that the Virgin conceived by believing. The motif of ‘conception through the ear’ - bizarre to our modern sensibilities - was not, however, a quasi-obstetric explanation of the virginal conception. Rather it expresses a deep spiritual intuition about Mary’s capacity to hear God’s word wholly and unconditionally and let the Spirit quicken into a human life the one who is Life itself.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Saw that News Corp thinks that Trump’s getting too rough a treatment from the media, so they’re going to tone it down.

Got to be fair to Trump? Oh really. Let’s start with the fairness of the treatment of Trump’s tax plan. The GOP has been on about how the national debt is destroying the nation, and that Obama added trillions to the debt (ignore that most of it is the result of the spending immediately following the Great Recession, and another huge chunk is the off-budget wars in Iraq and Afghanistan).

Trump’s tax plan would add $10 trillion to the debt over 10 years. A trillion dollars a year - all to give the rich huge tax breaks while everyone else shoulders the burden. Even in the most favorable accounting scheme, it’d still add more than $6 trillion in debt with no benefit to anyone but people like Trump - rich folks who can afford to pay an already low by historic-standards tax burden.

News Corp runs the WSJ, and you’d think they’d care about something that would be as damaging to the national economy as $10 trillion in debt added. But you’d be wrong - either because the WSJ/News Corp folks don’t care that the debt would be added by a GOPer so the usual rules of fiscal responsibility don’t apply, or they don’t care that Trump’s the one making these tax cut claims since they’d benefit immensely from them, or both.

Bored sick kids found a new game, beat the porcupine.

“I don’t have a special love for porcupines. But I think it’s pretty sadistic for a group of kids to be driving around in a car and find a porcupine on the side of the street, get out, pick up a big stick and club it to death,” he said.

So far 11 porcupines were killed, according to Apple. He said the culprits started in Schoharie County and jumped into Albany County on Tuesday.

“We’re talking about kids that are in their teens. We have the names. I have the names,” Apple added.

But his hands are tied. There’s really not much he can do because porcupines are not a protected animal under the law. Apple said perhaps he’ll go after the teens for not having a license to hunt. He’s also talking to state lawmakers to see what else can be done.

Workers fixing a New Jersey home undergoing Sandy renovation work discover 19th century boat under foundation.

The 12-foot wide vessel, its rudder fully intact, was found beneath Eileen Scanlon’s Highlands bungalow on Wednesday, the Asbury Park Press reported. The boat likely was used to transport coal and other good along local waterways, and pieces of coal were found scattered along the floor.

Rumors of the vessel’s existence had circulated for years. Scanlon got a peek of what looked like a rudder through the home’s crawlspace shortly after buying it in 2010, but she didn’t anticipate the size and scope of the boat. It’s built from 3-inch-thick wooden plants and is held together with 18-inch iron nails.

Scanlon temporarily stopped construction under the house and called Russell Card of the Historical Society of Highlands.

“It was beyond amazing,” Card said. “I’ve heard about it before and the first time I ever saw it was yesterday. I never realized it was so big. I was amazed at the craftsmanship of it.”

Sadly, they’ll be destroying the boat, except for the bow, which the owner will use in her garden.

For example,

WeSearchr will comply with any Court Order arising from any legal action brought against WeSearchr or in which WeSearchr is a defendant, including the disclosure of Personal Identifying Information.

When he heard that a resident was choking, Perry Gaines, maître d’ for the Deupree House dining room, ran toward the table.

Gaines has been trained in the Heimlich maneuver and has performed it at least twice in the two years he has worked at the Hyde Park senior living facility.

When Gaines arrived at the table, Dr. Henry Heimlich, a 96-year-old resident of the Deupree House who invented the famous technique for clearing a blocked airway, was standing behind the woman, ready to perform it.

Typically, a staff member would do it. “But,” Gaines said, pausing, “it is Dr. Heimlich.”

Ah, Trump fans. Ignorant and claiming that people who question his idiocy are ignorant of facts.

Take for instance the ones who claim that but for clean coal, we’d have an energy source we can export.

Never mind that clean coal has been hyped by the coal industry for years, and it’s fallen short. The price of coal has gone up, and there’s a far cheaper energy source that is cleaner when burned - natural gas. Energy companies aren’t going to build new coal plants here b/c natural gas is cheaper, it’s easier to ship by pipeline to those plants, and the plants need a smaller footprint on which to operate.

Claiming you can sell the coal overseas ignores that these same countries (China/India) are looking at natural gas and renewables over coal b/c of the emissions mess that they’re already facing. Even clean coal burns dirtier than natural gas. Prices also favor natural gas over coal. So there’s no economic incentive to do coal versus natural gas.

Basic economics. No wonder Trump has these people locked in his thrall.

When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.

Law enforcement group tells Michele Fiore she’s ‘unqualified’ for Congress

The association cites comments Fiore made this year on KLAS Channel 8 to Steve Sebelius, also a Review-Journal columnist. At the time, Fiore said: “I would never point my firearm at anyone, including an officer of the law, unless they pointed their firearm at me.”

She also said: “Once you point your firearm at me, I’m sorry, then it becomes self-defense. Whether you’re a stranger, a bad guy, or an officer, and you point your gun at me and you’re gonna shoot me and I have to decide whether it’s my life or your life, I choose my life.”

Those comments distort the Second Amendment and tell her followers “they may point a firearm at a law enforcement officer with impunity and without life and death consequences,” wrote Richard McCann, the group’s executive director.

I feel this requires a facepalm that only the finest sort of actor could pull off.

The mammoth, multi-million-dollar mansion where President Barack Obama and his family will reportedly live after the first family exits the White House is located 1,096 feet from the Islamic Center of Washington — one of the largest mosques in the Western Hemisphere.

Islamic Centers emit Islamowaves, which over time compel people to become Muslims. Exposure to Islamowaves for short times induce uncontrollable yearnings for falafel and schawarma, conditions which have been observed to persist for years after initial exposure. Citizens should take all due precautions when in the vicinity of Islamic Centers, or their more potent cousins, mosques and madrassahs.

Weaver told CNN on Friday that the process for setting up a debate with Trump ahead of California’s June 7 primary is progressing.

“There have been some communication between the campaigns. A number of networks have put forward proposals, including some that would put seven-figure amounts into charity,” Weaver said. “You know this, seems to meet the parameters of what Donald Trump suggested he’d be willing to do.”

Despite noting progress, Weaver also suggested that the pace of the talks have slowed down due to reluctance from the other side.

“There’s a little bit of foot-dragging now it seems on their side,” he said. “It may be that, you know, there may be some chickening out or, you know, an unwillingness to stand on stage and really debate with Bernie Sanders because they know Bernie Sanders is going to do quite well in that debate, frankly.”

Bernie has entered his “impressionism” stage of the political arts in this year’s election.

He thinks a win looks better to those super delegates if he can say “I won more states than Hillary.”

I think he hopes a debate where he handles TRUMP® will also leave the impression he can take on Donnie better than Hillary.

And shouldn’t they be impressed with his big passionate crowds too.

Yep…Bernie is painting an impressionist piece of art that makes him look like a president.

Just step way back and look at it. It all comes together and you can see the impression of him as president.

San Francisco, Alameda County, and state elections officials were sued last week by an unincorporated association of Sanders backers called the “Voting Rights Defense Project,” who together with the American Independence Party and two San Francisco voters leveled an array of allegations in their May 20 civil complaint that Herrera calls wholly baseless. The activists are seeking sweeping injunctive relief in their suit, including provisions to force 58 counties to segregate ballots already cast by unaffiliated voters; to allow “re-votes” by those voters for presidential primary candidates; and to extend the state’s voter registration deadline—which passed on May 23 for eligibility to vote in the June 7 primary—until election day itself.

Over the years, I listened to him countless times on ‘Lunch with Bernie’ on Hartmann’s satellite radio show. I always appreciated his viewpoints, even though he often came off as pretentiously “principled”. Now I am just completed repulsed every time I hear his name. He’s dead to me.

I’ve been confused so maybe someone here can explain it.
It’s “guidelines” or “guidance”, not a “directive”, which as I understand are completely different things.

Does a federal agency issuing guidelines mean they are like actual rules?
Or are these states as confused about this as they are about Common Core?

Get thee to UT stat!
It’s a trip back in time through the Waterpocket Fold and starting at Capitol Reef -> Bryce -> Zion -> Grand Canyon, you get cut deeper into the rock and further back in time - until you hit the Grand Canyon.

Be sure to read Edward Abbey’s book Desert Solitaire before, or, preferably, while you’re there. It’s a great companion to what you’ll be seeing.

This whole “planned obsolesene” wrt consumer electronics is really getting to me.
I had to replace a push-button for a talking clock.
Okay, drill hole, connect up wires to replacement button.
Solder comes loose.
I fix that wire.
Solder of another wire comes loose.
I fix that wire.
Another wire comes loose.
Repeat ad nauseam
I practically redid all wire solders on the thing.

Is basic soldering skills too much to ask for, or designing gear to be repairable?

There’s a left-wing version of Wingnut Welfare, and Sanders wants in on the action! Lots of money to be made from The Young Turks (who might as well have named themselves the Schulzstaffel, as other have pointed out), the Intercept, and Salon by bitching against the Powers That Be for not being Communist enough, especially when they’re left-of-center Powers.

Actual breaking news:

Man, 24, arrested as shooter in murder of Cuomo aide Carey Gabay

A 24-year-old man has been arrested as the triggerman in the murder of Carey Gabay, an aide to Gov. Cuomo.

Micah Alleyne was arraigned on murder, reckless endangerment and weapons possession charges in connection to the Sept. 7 gang shooting that killed the 43-year-old Harvard educated attorney who became First Deputy Counsel to Cuomo’s Empire State Development.

“As I have said from the beginning, we are determined to get justice for Mr. Gabay and his family. And we will continue to press forward until we hold everyone responsible for his death accountable,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson.

Going out on a limb here, but I would guess that any effort to round up 12 million people in this country is likely to meet with substantial resistance, mostly passive but some likely not. At the very least it would have to be attempted in the face of massive obstruction at every level, up to and including state governments, and the logistical and legal problems would be completely unprecedented.

Well, to start with, there’s the fact that each and everyone is entitled to a hearing in court with representation to establish their status. Trump has said he doesn’t think so, but the Supreme Court disagrees.

Then there’s the simple question of ‘rounding them up’. How do you do that? What police force will be responsible? How long will it be before some yahoo on that force shoots somebody?

And then there’s the idea that one of Trump’s surrogates floated - that they’ll be rounded up, and not actually deported, but rather ‘processed’, given work permits, and released back into the US. I don’t see that being okay with Trump’s supporters, for a start. They’ll see it as just a modification on amnesty, and definitely not preserving The White Homeland against The Brown Horde.

The whole thing has always been stupid, and racist, and not only unworkable but also potentially devastating to the economy if we even tried.

Can you imagine. Honduras and El Salvador are running neck and neck for murder capital of the world. They’d never be able to pull off such a massive deportation, but many many would be sent back into chaos and violence and would only exponentiate the problem. In a way, we’ve always had a wall—one that said, “I don’t want to know what our corporations and government are doing down there: keep that out of sight and keep them out of here.”

re: #198 lawhawk

[snip]The price of coal has gone up, and there’s a far cheaper energy source that is cleaner when burned - natural gas. Energy companies aren’t going to build new coal plants here b/c natural gas is cheaper, it’s easier to ship by pipeline to those plants, and the plants need a smaller footprint on which to operate.[snip]
So there’s no economic incentive to do coal versus natural gas.

Basic economics. No wonder Trump has these people locked in his thrall.

Ramping up natural gas production for electric power generation is a really awful policy for the long term. NG is just about the highest-grade energy source we have, and very versaitle. For many of the things we use it for, there are no other practical substitutes. Some examples: high-purity silicon for CPUs, memory, ICs, glass fiber for communications and thermal insulation, phamacuticals.

It would be nice to know a generation from now that we could still produce such things, and not curse this generation for squandering our finite supply of NG for directly heating buildings, homes and water, without even taking advantage of such technologies as heat pumps.
