Ed Schultz, Now Working for Russia Today, Defends Donald Trump

Bad craziness

PoliticsSeptember 2016 • Views: 61,769

I saw this tweet go by in my main Twitter timeline and did a serious double take. I knew Ed Schultz had been working for Russia Today after losing his MSNBC show, but I didn’t realize how deeply he’d gone into the RT mindset.

The #Clinton campaign continues to manufacture news to vilify #DonaldTrump and connect him to Putin in order to win the election.

— Ed Schultz (@NewswithEd) September 9, 2016

And there’s a video to go along with this, in which Schultz looks like he’s coming off a four-day bender.

The media hysteria is amazing. CNN claims #DonaldTrump is ‘unpatriotic’ for doing an interview on @RT_America. pic.twitter.com/E96RPsCXjh

— Ed Schultz (@NewswithEd) September 9, 2016

I was never a huge fan of Ed Schultz, to be honest — the self-styled “Glenn Beck of the left” who once advised his Democratic viewers not to vote in the midterm elections. But this really took me aback.

I confess, I have never been one for watching political pundits on TV. So when one says something crazy, it’s more a curiosity than anything else.

In a lot of ways, I think the commentary we get here is a lot better than anything on TV anyway.

thedopefishlives Sep 9, 2016 • 5:37:37pm

Lest there be any doubt about whom Russia supports in this election. I get that it’s not the communists anymore, but the fact that Putin is openly advocating for Trump’s election should give any sane person pause.

I remember reading a few years ago that Ed had once been a GOPer. If this is true, he’s just returning to his roots. I also can’t overlook the idea that it could be that he’s implementing the orders he’s been given by RT’s executives in order to keep the big paychecks coming his way. I’ve noticed for some time now that there are some people who will do/say almost anything for money and to get attention.

The main stream media continues to avoid the fact that Trump’s verified personality flaws objectively disqualify him from the presidency.

Thus I imagine their chatter about the election is irrelevant at the “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” level.

Right Wing Watch via JoeMyGod. I’ve blockquoted the entire RWW post.

Gary Bauer of American Values, which is one of the co-sponsors of the 2016 Values Voter Summit, closed out his speech at the event today by literally comparing the upcoming presidential election to Flight 93, the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11 after passengers fought back against the terrorists who had hijacked it.

“This country is the equivalent of that plane right now,” Bauer said, citing a recent column posted on the Claremont Institute website. “We’re heading for a disaster unless we can get control of the cockpit again and then maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a chance.”

The passengers on that plane “took the only shot they had,” Bauer stated. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Flight 93 election. This may be out last shot. It’s time to roll. It’s time to run down the aisle and save Western civilization.”

Trump acts sometimes like he thinks he can find that one sentence that will just send shockwaves through everyone and get him elected president. It doesn’t have to mean anything in particular, and doesn’t have to be related to anything else he said. He can just feel in his gut that there’s one thing he needs to say, if only he can find it.

OK, let’s segue into tech talk.

I have an ipad mini where I’m out of storage. I was trying to delete the email (I never check on the ipad) & found that I would be deleting my accounts.

Any ideas?

You might be able to limit how many messages it stores on the iPad - check in the settings.

My Ipod and Ipad mini have different cable ends though both do have usb on other end. Of course they are of different vintages, about a years difference.

Mine are all different years, but thank God they all work together. I use the iPad like a Nook, and carry it and the phone everywhere. Also have a fairly new iMac that is my workhorse, with Parallels on it for Windows software I can’t avoid, and a Mac laptop for carrying along on trips. So perhaps you could say I’m part of the cult! <G>

Gmail will limit IMAP folders to a certain size when providing the info to clients like the Mail app, if the appropriate setting is tweaked. It’s outlined in the article I linked up above.

If it’s Gmail, Apple definitely can’t delete your account with them just by removing it from the iPad. The article has instructions on how to do that. You can also look into the Gmail app which might let you set how many messages to keep downloaded (so you can still check it easily without having to use the browser, but not have it take up so much space).

It is possible that removing the Gmail info from your Apple account can get synced over from one device to another, but that shouldn’t delete the actual account that you could log into on the Google website.

re: #135 Jenner7

“In my opinion, this only upsets the racists…not anyone who was going to vote for her anyway, so who the fuck cares? But, we’ve got the media, so, who knows what will happen.”

I read an article earlier this week that was written by a journalist in Philadelphia. He went to upscale communities in the city and asked women what they thought about Trump. Some of them, white women, called Trump a racist and a bigot, so if CNN and any other media outlet thinks it’s only HRC calling some of Trump’s supporters racists, they need to think about that again. I think anyone can identify a racist based on the person’s words and behavior. HRC pointed out the alt-right and the fact that they were some of Trump’s strongest supporters a couple weeks ago, so it isn’t surprising to me that she said it. I’m voting for her anyway because she’s telling the unvarnished truth about some of Trump’s supporters. Hell, I think it was just a couple weeks ago that some prominent members of the alt-right were bragging that they had taken over the GOP. As far as I’m concerned, CNN and the other media outlets can go right ahead and deny that some of Trump’s supporters are racists and bigots, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. The cure for this problem that Trump has with the alt-right was for him not to give them a stake in his campaign in the first place. It was he who rolled out the red carpet, opened the door, invited them in, and made them a “legitimate” part of his campaign. I recall that when some of them showed open racism and bigotry at his rallies, all he had to say was that they “love” this country and are “passionate” people. He knew it was wrong, but his character is such that if he has to tear this country apart to win, he’s more than willing to do it.

What I meant to say (WIMTS, my theme song) is that if I delete one email on one, it’s gone on the others. I would think you could remove an account.

Ah. Yes. Most e-mail will work that way these days, because the record of e-mail itself is actually kept on the server. Your changes on one device are then communicated to the server (please delete this one, for example) and that’s done. Then when you log in on another device, it gets an updated list from the server (it’ll just check every so often anyway if you leave it open) and voila, you don’t still see the e-mail that you already deleted over there.

That’s IMAP (the protocol). Used to be that wasn’t the default set-up - that you downloaded your e-mail from the server and once you did that it was gone as far as the server was concerned. Which was fine if you only did your e-mail on one computer but didn’t work nearly so well if you had multiple computers. That was POP3, in a nutshell. I’m sure I’m glossing over some details that more technical Lizards who do more work with this would be happy to correct but from the layperson’s point of view smartphones and tablets mean that the default is when you do something to your e-mail on one device, it gets synced everywhere.

RE: Appeals Court’s Decision on proof of citizenship.

Since I live in GA, it will be very interesting reading what Deal and the RW lawmakers who passed the law will say about this decision. I expect them to appeal to the SCOTUS, because it’s what they do. Before the 2012 election, an organization had collected 40,000 voter registration forms and our Sec. of State Brian Kemp cried voter fraud as a reason not to process them in time for the persons who’d submitted the forms to vote. It turned out that there was no voter fraud. Some individuals had filled out the forms incorrectly or had written nonsense on them. The organization was very transparent because it turned them all in without changing anything, but the GOPer lawmakers here just couldn’t have that many “blah” and “brown” people registering to vote even if they were eligible. Their real fear about voter registration has nothing to do with voter fraud and everything to do with the fact that newly registered voters here tend not to vote for GOPers.

GOPers have spent decades engaging in racism and bigotry, and they know they have. Many in the MSM have pretended that they haven’t, and that makes them part of the problem. I, like Oliver Willis, am fed up with being black in America and the target of their racism and bigotry when I know I don’t fit the stereotypes they push 24/7/365. It has to end somewhere, and why not start the beginning of the end right now in 2016? I don’t think much of Ben Carson, Allen West, and other blacks in the GOP who pretend right along with other GOPers that the party isn’t infested with bigots and racists because it is.

This is not like Mitt’s 47% comment. His comment referred to anyone on unemployment, social security, any kind of assistance. These are people he didn’t want to be bothered with. You know, the old, the sick, the poor…

“Schultz has obviously sold his soul. Now he’s apparently having trouble living with the desperate choices he has made.”

Schultz tore his *ss with me back in 2009 and 2010 when he declared war on President Obama because he wasn’t doing exactly what he and the far left wanted him to do at the speed they wanted him to do it. He actively encouraged Democratic voters to turn against the president and Democrats in Congress in the midterms. When he started that sh*t was when he got on my sh*t list and never got off. He was actively sabotaging the Democratic Party. I saw it and stopped watching his program and listening to anything he had to say about anything. It’s easy for someone who isn’t tasked with doing a job to tell someone who is doing the job what to do, how to do it, and how fast to do it. B*st*rds who aren’t in the catbird seat shouldn’t tell those who are in the catbird seat how to do things. I got enough of that when I was in the classroom and would have parents try to tell me how to do my job when they didn’t have a degree in the subject area or a teaching certificate, so I have zero patience with individuals of this sort.

Let’s see…

Voter turnout in 2012 was 126 million. We’ll go with that as the base, so already she’s wildly optimistic with “100 million.”

From that, we’ll go with the current “polls-plus” prediction from 538, which says Trump will get roughly 44% of the vote. That gets us to (rounded-up) 56 million.

So half of that is roughly 28 million. In other words, less than 10% of the US population might feel that it’s been in some way insulted by this comment.

The first step is to vote for DONALD TRUMP. You are probably too young to vote, but you need to do everything you can to support his rise to GOD EMPEROR. […]

ADOLF HITLER was a great man. Just as you want to catch all the Pokémon, he hunted a different type of monster: Jews.

The term for this is “culture jamming.” That is taking an idea that would not be considered apropos to discuss publicly and inserting it into conversation in such a way it cannot be ignored.

A very good example of this is Donald Trump’s Twitter stream, retweeting neo-Nazis and Klan apologists. By simply putting it out there, and having Trump’s opponents discuss the subject (even negatively), their message gets out to a wider group of people, some of whom will agree with it.

By linking hashtags such as white genocide or tcot to otherwise unrelated topics, those ideas are spread more widely.

Culture jamming is a propaganda tool. Charlie Vogel’s tweet referenced in your post notes that Trump supporters are doing this, but does not note why. Culture jamming is why (which is what forced Hillary Clinton to make a speech addressing what the alt-right is a couple weeks ago - which warns reasonable people, but also attracts people to those ideas).

There is no mystery as to why Drumpfskind jumped on the “school choice” bandwagon.

This:

Creationism in a lawsuit against charter schools

A new lawsuit challenges a chain of public charter schools in Arizona for their religious advocacy — which reportedly includes creationism. In a September 7, 2016, press release, Americans United for Separation of Church and State explained, “Heritage Academy, which has campuses in Mesa, Queen Creek[,] and Laveen, uses a textbook in its mandatory American government class for seniors that teaches students religious concepts such as creationism, divine judgment after death and the Ten Commandments. The public charter school also teaches religious principles through other class curricula.”

The complaint contends (PDF, p. 18) that the schools use instructional materials that argue that there must be a Creator because the “mind … will not accept the proposition that the forces of nature, churning about among themselves, would ever produce a watch, or even a lead pencil, let alone the marvelous intricacies of the human eye.” Noting that the argument echoes that of Paley’s Natural Theology, the complaint cites Kitzmiller v. Dover as “finding that arguments for ‘intelligent design’ are ‘merely a restatement of the Reverend William Paley’s argument’ — a religious doctrine that cannot lawfully be taught in public schools.”

And we’re left with the problem that charter schools are not public schools, largely set their own curricula, and oft-times have no state oversight.

The question will likely turn for AUSCS whether they can show using public tax moeny to support a charter school supporting creationism violated the Establishment Clause. I am not so sure they can do that, but I am not a lawyer.

The attorneys general argue scientists do not agree on climate change and contend the issue still is up to scientific debate.

Paxton, like many Texas politicians, has received political contributions from the oil and gas industry.

Trying to imagine what the US will look like in a thousand years.

I doubt the political unit we call the “USA” will still be around, at least in its current form.

As for demographics - almost certainly the people will be browner, probably speak a derivative of English that tends in the direction of Spanglish on many parts of the continent.

Hard to know what to expect for a society after 10 centuries of climate change, likely forced migrations, and who knows how many wars. If the past is any indication, most place names will remain, even if pronounced a bit differently.

In my mind the big determiner of what the future will be depends on whether we can keep up our high energy use per capita. We certainly can’t do that with fossil fuels.

“That other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change,” Clinton said. “It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different.

“They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead end,” Clinton said. “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”

That’s because Republicans agree with Marx on how a capitalist system works, what effect it has on society and the results of those effects.

They agree that capitalism will chase profits and power while ignoring every thing else. They agree this will cause a very few people to be rich and most to become poor. They agree this will result in a class war.

The only disagreements are that the first two points are good things rather than bad and that the class war will be won by the bourgeoisie (which they number themselves among) rather than the proletariat.

These are actually minor differences. On all important points Marx and Republicans are in agreement.

Meanwhile Trump is all statesmanly for telling people what the hell do they have to lose by voting for him. I’m sick and tired of this crap. Honestly, I think Clinton is much more charitable to these people than I would be but granted I’m not running for President. My problem with them is they seem to create their own resentments and not look at the big picture. They’ve chosen to see Trump as a viable candidate and they’ve chosen to push their resentments on to people and ideologies who don’t deserve it. Trump is exactly the kind of person they should despise but because he panders to their resentments, theysee him as looking out for them.

When I drove by the store on the way to rehearsal on Wednesday, I noticed the signs were gone. I figured maybe the owner either caught some crap from the town and/or customers and decided to take them down.

But my wife belongs to a couple of town groups on Facebook, and the scuttlebutt is that person or persons unknown made off with the signs in the middle of the night.

There is no mystery as to why Drumpfskind jumped on the “school choice” bandwagon.

This:

Creationism in a lawsuit against charter schools

One of these schools is three miles from my house. I pay taxes to the Mesa school district and some of it gets siphoned off to the Heritage Academies so they can buy Cleon Skousen crap and force very conservative Mormonism (a Mormonism a good chunk of my neighbors wouldn’t recognize) on the kids. I’ve been all over an article (azfamily.com) because the Arizona Constitution is very, very clear—no money whatsoever is supposed to go to sectarian schools.

The irony is that these asshats claim to respect the US Constitution, and claim to be good Christians, but I thought lying was against the 10 Commandments and, of course, Constitutional jurisprudence is clear that sectarian religious dogma can’t be taught in the public schools. (Cf. Wallace v. Jaffree (1987), where the Court held that teaching creationism was not allowed because it’s a religious belief and not science.)

I should note that the named plaintiff in the case is a Rev. David Felten, who is the head pastor of The Fountains UMC up in Fountain Hills. Felten is a pretty liberal guy who has taken a lot of shit from other churches in the area (in fact, several churches actually ran a series of sermons about how awful Felten and liberal Methodists were a few years back). So he’s used to being harassed. That will hopefully help take the heat off the John Doe plaintiff. I’m sure Heritage Academy is trying to find out who the traitor plaintiff is right now.

He is seeking re-election in November and is challenged by Democrat Russ Feingold.

Walker needs to respond to state lagging in job creation

We feel like we have bent over backwards, year after year, to avoid laying all the blame for Wisconsin’s dismal job creation numbers on Gov. Scott Walker.

We’ve taken into consideration limits on what any governor can do to boost job creation, looked at national and global economic trends, and state demographic numbers.

But the fact is Walker promised 250,000 new jobs by the end of his first term and not only did he fail miserably, but the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics mean Wisconsin has lagged national numbers for more than five years.

So regardless of your politics it is fair to ask Walker once again to explain why Wisconsin isn’t doing better, why we’re behind Michigan, Illinois and Ohio, why his administration isn’t having more success with economic development and why he seems invisible in promoting Wisconsin as a 21st century destination for investment, job creation and business startups and retention.

The media always bends over (backwards) for republicans.

I was just browsing Wikipedia, reading about the Plaza Hotel in NYC, and came across this illuminating paragraph.

Donald Trump bought the Plaza Hotel for $407.5 million in 1988 (equivalent of $814 million today). Trump commented on his purchase in a full-page open letter in The New York Times: “I haven’t purchased a building, I have purchased a masterpiece - the Mona Lisa. For the first time in my life, I have knowingly made a deal that was not economic - for I can never justify the price I paid, no matter how successful the Plaza becomes.” Trump installed his wife, Ivana Trump as the hotel’s president.[14] After $50 million in renovations, the hotel was earning a healthy operating income, but not enough to make the payments on its heavy debt load.[15] Trump made plans to pay off the hotel’s debt by selling off many of its units as condominiums.[16] A deal was instead reached for the Plaza’s creditors, a group of banks led by Citibank, to take a 49 percent stake in the hotel in exchange for forgiveness of $250 million in debt and an interest rate reduction.[17] The agreement was submitted as a prepackaged bankruptcy in November 1992.[18]

So, Trump paid way too much for the hotel — it had been sold for $25M in 1975 to a new owner. He bought it for emotional reasons or bragging rights, probably. He spent even more money renovating it, but even after that the hotel wasn’t making enough revenue to service the debt. So, he worked out a bankruptcy plan with the banks fronting the money and ditched the hotel.

You know I never quite understood the evil behind “Thou shalt not covet” until I read of this story. Trump willingly made a bad deal to stoke his ego and then was either unwilling or unable to sustain the venture. His connections and lack of scruples, morals or regard for anyone else allowed him to walk away once he’d pissed in every corner, or whatever fetish he had to feed by owning it.

But a powerless person who’s unrequited desire poisons their heart will often turn to violence or fraud to get what they crave.

dangerman Sep 10, 2016 • 11:15:39am

just dropping in for a moment

i assume some of you are talking about “baskets of deplorables”

electoral-vote.com has a good analysis

So, does the comparison hold up? Maybe not so much. First of all, Romney’s remark was much broader, and effectively condemned the entire Democratic Party, either as bloodsucking leeches, or enablers of bloodsucking leeches. Clinton was very careful to paint with a less broad brush. On top of that, there is every reason to believe that Romney meant the 47% remark to remain between him and a few well-heeled GOP friends. Clinton, by contrast, has used this same basic line before, and even used it again after this story broke on Friday. Given her tendency to play it safe, and to avoid controversy, there can be no doubt that the line was carefully considered (and probably even tested in focus groups). Most importantly, Romney’s line was aimed squarely at his own supporters, trying to get them fired up (and to donate money). Clinton’s line, on the other hand, is clearly aimed at the Trump supporters who are not in the “basket.” She is saying to them, “Is this the crowd you want to be lumped in with?” This recalls the Gilded Age-era GOP’s tactic of “waving the bloody shirt.” For election after election, from 1868 to roughly 1900, they reminded Northern voters that, “Not every Democrat was a Confederate, but every Confederate was a Democrat.” The line worked pretty well, since the Democrats managed to elect only one president during those three-plus decades.

So, in short: Clinton likely did not have a “47% moment,” no matter what Breitbart News may claim. (Z)

this is not the first time she said this. id guess most of the ‘rage’ is that shes making them take ownership.

Hillary’s statement:

I regret saying ‘half’

Good to see. That should have been left out. Excuses too many.

re: #474 Belafon

This Daily Kos diary does a good job of rounding up evidence of “deplorables”:

m.dailykos.com

Alexandra Pelosi rounded out a goodly gang of “deplorables” in 2009 for her documentary “Right America Feeling Wronged” about how butthurt the right was about Obama. Multiply by 11ty and broadcast through a bullhorn and you have Trump’s deplorables.

Correction: they’re proud about it until someone actually calls them out on it, and then they’re offended.

Yes, that’s correct.

re: #480 ObserverArt

So in other words, shine a little sunlight on them and they suddenly get burned.

I also understand Hillary kicked a hornets nest and Darthstar got stung.

Wow…nobody’s ever called me a deplorable before. ;)

I kid. I just don’t find this whole thing worth getting wee-wee’d up over. And I’m not impressed when Hillary takes a shot at Trump. That’s always been the surrogates’ job.

And I understand that people will say she’s weak or they’ll say she doesn’t care about minorities or that veterans are props…I get all that. It’s all politics and it doesn’t move the needle.

And the political entertainment media only reaches about 5% of the voters. They get about 95% of my attention but I’m a political junkie.

Again, I think about what Obama said in 2008 when he was running against McCain. “Want to know how I’ll govern as President? Watch how I run my campaign.”

I miss that.

Okay, gotta run. No worries, ObserverArt. I do understand your position and I respect it.

I’ll be glad when this shit show is over and we can all bask in the bipartisan love of Congress with President Clinton.

Time to go prep for my vacation - flying to Hawaii on Thursday…got shit to buy.

re: #502 baski deploribus derpum

All the welfare, parasite, libtard talk over 30 years conservatives have been dishing out? Conservative scum. About fucking time democrats started sticking up for themselves.

No kidding. When you’ve had people like Limbaugh saying this shit about liberals about how we’re wimps, unpatriotic, etc for years and then shocker you get it thrown back at you, don’t cry like a little baby. Fuckign conservative cry babies.

Good thing nobody called you a “deplorable” here either.

I think we all know that you’re not impressed with Hillary. You make that very clear.
