Bill and Opus for 2016!  Aug 23, 2016 • 11:53:55am

Trump has been grumbling lately about Hillary Clinton’s lack of campaign speeches as of late, helping fuel tinfoil-hat theories about her health.
Good news, Donald. She’s giving a pretty major campaign speech on Thursday - one that you and your campaign aren’t going to like it one bit.

Clinton to give speech linking Trump to ‘alt-right’

Hillary Clinton will deliver a speech Thursday linking Donald Trump to the “extremism” of the “alt-right” movement.
Clinton’s campaign announced Tuesday morning that her Reno, Nev., speech would focus on Trump and his aides’ “embrace of the disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy.”

“This ‘alt-right’ brand is embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America which should concern all Americans, regardless of party,” her campaign said.

I can only hope that she spells out in no uncertain terms what the “alt-right” movement is - namely a gathering of white supremacists, nativist neo-Nazis, and hardcore misogynists under the guise of “men’s rights” who openly advocate raping women to “keep them in line”. Additionally, she needs to make the case that Trump’s family members and campaign team regularly make appearances on white nationalist media, as well as his new campaign chief Steve Bannon being the CEO of what many consider the most influential alternative-right outlet (Breitbart “News”). This aspect of the Trump campaign has been woefully underreported, even after his multitude of instances of openly using their racist propaganda.

So, Fox is claiming that the floods will cost Louisiana $20 billion.

That’s quite a hefty sum.

I’m not quite sure where they came up with that figure, but let’s go with it. How quickly will GOP controlled Congress act on the aid package? Will the GOP demand offsets as they did with Sandy?

GOP is already snarking on Obama’s visit, as well as stopping to meet with law enforcement and Alton Sterling’s family.

Meanwhile, the flood protection system built after Katrina is having issues. Again.

Apparently the great violators of politiciking ethics this year are… Biden and Obama:

In attacking Donald Trump overseas, Biden just crossed an increasingly blurry line

Vice President Biden took a big jab at Donald Trump’s foreign policy acumen while visiting Latvia on Tuesday, suggesting that Trump had no idea what he was talking about when he said the United States might not defend NATO allies.

“We have never reneged on any commitment we have made. Our sacred honor is at stake,” Biden said in Riga, Latvia, according to The Post’s Karen DeYoung. “The fact that you occasionally hear something from a presidential candidate … it’s nothing that should be taken seriously, because I don’t think he understands what Article 5 is.”

[…]

But Biden didn’t just offer assurances that the United States would abide by its NATO obligations; he also attacked Trump’s knowledge of NATO — albeit without naming him — while on foreign soil. That’s something that hasn’t generally been done. American politics, since the middle of last century, were supposed to stop “at the water’s edge,” in the words of former senator Arthur Vandenburg (R-Mich.).

What an idiotic criticism. Domestic politics can and do involve foreign policy and statements about foreign policy are fair game overseas. Biden would know that Trump’s statements are a major issue and a cause of real anxiety in Latvia and the other Baltic republics. He would be negligent for ignoring it during an official visit.

“This woman is very, very sick and they’re covering it up. You’re not so much talking about Hillary Clinton being president for eight years, you’re talking about Tim Kaine being president for eight years. Because that’s what we’re dealing with here,” Jaggers said, according to the Loudoun Times.

“How many of you would wear a wool coat in August?” Jaggers the attendees, “The woman who seeks to be the first female president of the United States wears a wool coat at every single thing. Have you ever stopped to wonder why? It’s a big deal, folks.”

He appeared to be referencing a new claim by pro-masculinity activist and Hillary Clinton health conspiracy theorist Michael Cernovich that the former Secretary of State must be seriously ill because she was photographed wearing what he termed a “wool coat” on a recent visit to breezy Nantucket, Massachusetts (the low was just 61 degrees).

In what world does someone who has lived a very public life for three decades decide to run for one of the most physically/mentally/emotionally demanding jobs in the world pull it off while being “very, very sick” and it not get out?

I mean, this is an incredible conspiracy theory.

A federal appeals panel has approved a bid by Ohio Republicans to reduce the early voting period and eliminate same-day voter registration, the latest in a string of court decisions that are setting the rules for voting access this fall.

Although Ohioans will still have four weeks of early voting, the Tuesday decision could make it harder for some voters to cast a ballot in one of the most pivotal swing states this fall. In 2012, 59,000 Ohioans, disproportionately racial minorities, voted during the week at issue.

By 2-1, a panel for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling in May that the move violated the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against blacks and Hispanics.

“Federal judicial remedies, of course, are necessary where a state law impermissibly infringes the fundamental right to vote,” wrote Judge David McKeague for the appeals panel’s majority. “No such infringement having been shown in this case, judicial restraint is in order.”

“Ohio offers a generous number of days, hours and ways to vote—making us one of the easiest states in which to cast a ballot,” said Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican who defended the cuts, in a statement. “This issue has been dragged through the courts by political activists twice over the course of several years, and both times, it has ended with the same result: Ohio’s laws are fair and constitutional.”

To be blunt, when did NRO ever actually give a damn about race relations? Was it when Buckley was likening Civil Rights activists in the 60’s to communists or his later strong defense of Apartheid South Africa. Or how about more recently when NRO had white nationalists on their payroll. Or their repeated attacks on the President’s decisions involving race. Honestly, the best way to improve race relations is to improve one’s self first and NRO hasn’t come close to doing that.

“Some religious orders say ‘No, now that the convent is empty we are going to make a hotel and we can have guests, and support ourselves that way, or make money.’ Well, if that is what you want to do, then pay taxes! A religious school is tax-exempt because it is religious, but if it is functioning as a hotel, then it should pay taxes just like its neighbor. Otherwise it is not fair business.”

So yeah I’m sorry but any publication that employed people like John Derbyshire well into the Obama presidency needs to look at itself for why race relations are the way they are. Honestly, I feel comfortable with people of many backgrounds. I’m a strong believer that diversity is one of the best ways people can either learn not to be racist or unlearn racism. NRO? They’ve been pushing racist shit since their founding. It wasn’t just WFB being an apologist for Jim Crow but what they’ve been doing here in the age of Obama. It’s continuing to employ people like Derbyshire until people like Charles thankfully expose them for what they are. It’s calling activists like DeRay McKeeson race baiters because people like DeRay demand that justice actually be done for African-Americans whose killers often not only go unconvicted but unindictated. All this over 50 years after three Freedom Riders were murdered in Mississippi. Over 30 years after Ronald Reagan opened his presidential campaign at that same spot talking about states rights without a hint of irony in his voice. Or now where the Republican Party, that supposed party of Lincoln has nominated a man once sued by the Nixon Department of Housing and Urban Development for racial discrimination and a man who refuses to admit he was wrong about the Central Park Five even after evidence exonerated those young men. Racial relations getting fixed starts at home and within one’s self. NRO could start by stop being a bunch of bigoted elitist shitheads that they’ve always been but I ain’t holding my breath.

Just ordered a macro ring light for my camera. I stick to Canon for lenses and such, but when it comes to accessories I sometimes look for things that offer a better value because Canon branded stuff can get wicked expensive (especially for someone like me who’s just a photography enthusiast, not a pro).

Anyway, the Canon macro ring light costs $549—nope, uh-uh, no way in hell could I justify (or afford) that right now. There are super cheap ones in the $30 range, but I wanted something that had the features I was looking for and would last a while, so this one from Yongnuo fit the bill perfectly (it also had really good reviews).

This is all RWC’s fault for as he bought a ring light some months back and took some really nice macro shots with it. I hate that guy. // JK!

Or even men with beards. Beards are sunnah and most extremists have them (as do many perfectly moderate Muslim men), but we can’t outlaw that as it would also affect non-Muslim men.

Didn’t Frank Gaffney say that Norquist was in cahoots because he had a beard and I believe Gaffney himself had a beard at that time too. But yeah shit’s just pathetic. Honestly to me society should be about choice. She should be just as free to wear the religious garb of her choice or non-religious garb of her choice. It’s about just that- choice.

But on the sunscreen issue, I found — and wear — a bathing suit that basically a short-sleeved shirt and shorts in sunscreening material (judging by the pictures you’ve posted, you’re as fair as I am). It cuts way down on sunscreen and covers my most at-risk, because least exposed, parts.

One could easily make the case that winning is actually the worst thing that could happen from the perspective of GOP’s long term survival as a viable party. There’s a path to recovery from a failed Trump candidacy, it’s a little rocky but you can definitely see it. On the other hand it’s hard to see how an actual presidential administration led by Trump would be anything but an unmitigated disaster, forever tying the Republican Party to him, his racist policies and the demonstrable failure that absolutely would occur when he attempts to put them into practice.

Yup. My own senator (Ben Sasse) pretty much started the idea of “Never Trump” back in February with his Facebook post that became a state-wide op ed in every newspaper.

Senator Sasse is a first-term senator and very conservative; if Mr. Trump goes down in a flaming landslide, then he will be well-positioned to say “I told you so, now vote for a real conservative.”

In the meantime, my other senator (Deb Fischer) is all in for Mr. Trump. While she is not up for reëlection this year, in two years Mr. Trump would get hung around her neck by either a Republican primary challenger or a Democratic opponent.

Is Sen. Sasse doing personal political calculation? Sure, all politicians have to do that. I suspect Sen. Sasse feels he has positioned himself on the correct side of the issue within his party though, and if he is correct, he will likely be rewarded. (On the other hand, letters in the local paper here are still pillorying Senator Sasse for his positions, so he might also be purged.)

He’s such a lying sack of shit. Deportations have been higher under Obama than under any other presidential and it didn’t start recently. The AP from February 2015.

Also, be aware that there are two terms used—returns and removals:

Ted Cruz gets it very wrong on recent presidents’ deportation numbers

Every year, the Department of Homeland Security releases figures on the number of enforcement actions it has taken. There are a number of categories of actions and a number of ways in which the data is broken down. But for our purposes, we’ll focus on two of the categories: Removals and returns.

“Returns” is a term the agency uses to describe, in its wording, “the confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States not based on an order of removal.” In other words, people who could have been deported but who left of their own volition. “Removals,” on the other hand, is the “compulsory and confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States based on an order of removal.” In other words, it’s when the government kicks someone out of the country. It’s a deportation.

Historically, the number of returns has been larger than the number of removals, though that’s changed over the last few years. In 2014, DHS made 414,481 removals and tracked 162,814 returns. The annual data for each shows the number of returns tapering off as the number of deportations has increased. […]

The takeaway from the Wikipedia article is the last two paragraphs:

In early June 2011, the conservative group Americans for Prosperity posted bogus eviction notices on homes in Detroit’s Delray district. With the words “Eviction Notice” in large type, the notices told homeowners their properties could be taken by the Michigan Department of Transportation to make way for the proposed new bridge. The group’s state director said the fake notices were intended to get residents to contact state lawmakers, to ask them to vote against the bridge project.[38]

In July 2011, the Canadian Transit Company, the Canadian arm of the Ambassador Bridge, began running advertisements against the DRIC proposal, calling it a “$2.2 billion road to nowhere”. The phone number listed for Canadian Transit Company forwarded to a phone number in Michigan, and the Canadian Transit Company previously held its 2011 annual meeting at the offices of the Detroit International Bridge Company. MPP Dwight Duncan advised that he was investigating whether or not the ads violated Ontario’s election laws, which disallow public spending by foreign lobbyists.

New Mexico Emergency Operation Center has been activated to level 3 due to to assist in the coordinated response…

Expecting some flooding in Eddy County. That always cracks me up. (Sorry, Eddyers.) Also Rio Arriba County, which I was thinking meant ‘high river’, but it’s actually ‘upstream’.

Trump is standing by to airdrop a pallet of Play-Doh, and follow it out in a Low-Alitude, Low-Opening jump.

I wonder what their other extracurricular activities are.

re: #229 CuriousLurker

Whoa, I missed that story. So is a weasel pit something you can accidentally step in and fall down? Sounds like it. Glad you didn’t break anything!

We call them weasel pits because of what McAngus called holes in the ground in a very early Black Adder episode (Born to be King).

“Mind the weasel pit…” as the person following disappears from view.

Edmund: Erm, well, the thing is: um, we were hoping to present a mystery play by one of our leading Thespianic troupes, erm, but, unfortunately, one of their number is ill, erm, and I thought you’d be the perfect person to (stands) … to take his place.

McAngus: Well, I warn you (he swipes down at the ground, killing a [badger?]): I’m no actor.

Edmund: Well, there shouldn’t be much acting required. (McAngus tosses the creature’s corpse aside) Erm, it’s an ancient Egyptian piece, er, called `The Death of the Scotsman’.

McAngus: I’ll have a crack at it. (throws a knife; a creature releases a short scream before dying)

Edmund: You…you could play the Scotsman, if you like, who…who dies at the end of the play.

McAngus: Oh! Acting dead! Now that I can do. (walks off)

Edmund: Yes, well, as I say: there…there may not be much acting required. (grins evilly to himself, then walks off a bit proudly)

McAngus: Oh, and er, mind the weasel pit.

Edmund: (falls in) Aaahhhhh!

Yep, and if he’d visited a black neighborhood they’d be whining that he’s a racist who doesn’t care about white people. He can’t win.

Most fundamental rule of 21st century politics. Obama is wrong. At least until January 20, 2017.
