Video: First Lady Michelle Obama Gives the Speech of a Lifetime

“It’s that feeling of terror and violation too many women have felt”

PoliticsOctober 2016 • Views: 48,557

After a double dose of Donald Trump’s debased, narcissistic far right ultra-nationalism, here’s something to cleanse our mental palettes: Michelle Obama’s fantastic, inspiring speech today in New Hampshire, about the stakes in this election.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Ms. Obama and her husband, but this speech is absolutely next-level stuff. Spend the 28 minutes to watch the whole thing; you won’t be sorry. And she never even says the name.

I-Team: Senate Candidate Promises ‘Kool Aid, KFC and Watermelons’ at Harlem Campaign Event

A candidate for New York State Senate has sparked a firestorm in Harlem after telling NBC 4 New York’s I-Team he was planning to hand out “Kool Aid, KFC and watermelons” at a campaign event in the primarily black community.
Jon Girodes, the Republican candidate for New York’s 30th District in the November election, used the racially stereotypical food reference in an email to the I-Team during an exchange about a disputed real estate deal.

“Ps I’m hosting an event in Harlem which will be in front of the state building in a few weeks. We will [donate] Kool Aid, KFC and watermelons to the public on 125th street in Harlem. Please join us to help the community,” he wrote.
Girodes, who is making his second run for the 30th District senate seat and headlined his campaign website with an image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said there was nothing offensive about his planned event.

Barack Obama raised two beautiful, intelligent daughters.

Trump has a daughter who can’t stand him, a daughter who has been assessed by him as a “piece of ass” and two sons who are worthless, racist thugs .

Which of them is a better father to the nation - assuming we need such a thing?

Which of them do you think Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt would have thought qualified to lead and act as a role-model?

BeachDem Oct 13, 2016 • 7:46:05pm

I think Michelle’s speech was the speech of this election, and may have just won the whole damn thing.

She is just so incredible. I remember seeing her in 2008, when the theme of her speech was about how “Barack GETS it.” She told such stories, with such sincerity—you just knew she meant every word.

In my lifetime, first ladies began with Mamie Eisenhower—and I think Michelle is the very finest we’ve ever had, or probably will have in the foreseeable future.

And, when you think of the first and second lady team of Michelle and Jill Biden—well, it just doesn’t get any better!

I used to be in a Mega-Church.

To me, that is what they are. They are generally massive, boxy monstrosities, with very little art or architectural value to them, where people go to get “confirmation” about how good they are, and who needs to be bashed.

Yes, I am letting my experience at New Life colour my view of all of them, but I doubt many of the mega-churches are much different than that.

Look. Every time you’re going to make a remark denigrating a group, cross out the group name and insert a reference to Muslims.

If you would be (rightfully) pissed off if someone said that about Muslims, don’t post it.

For example, in the above comment, you can cross out church and replace it with the word “mosque.” How does that comment make you feel?

Just got back from Cheyenne, stitches removed from my elbow. (The doc pulled one long stitch through, without removing the knot from the end of it first. Fifteen minutes of screaming and yowling.)

My elbow looks like someone put a golf ball implant in it.

Went to the BX at FE Warren AFB and bought a new monitor for my wife’s computer, so I get mine back now (and she can do her work on her own and I can goof here again).

Driving to and from Cheyenne today I saw a great improvement to the local landscape: In the 130 mile drive, I saw not a single Trump sign. In my county they were springing up like weeds.

In Cheyenne, saw a number of yard signs for Liz Cheney and Gary Johnson, and a second Gary Johnson and Bill Weld billboard, but no Trump signs there either (and we were all over the city today).

re: #52 retired cynic

Well, I’m plenty old enough to be his mother <G>, but I understand the sentiment!

He’d be a great younger brother for me.

Trump’s statement about the country needing a father is disturbing on several levels. First, it’s clear he means the country doesn’t need a mother, i.e., Hillary. Instead, it needs a he-man who can fix all things broken without an owner’s manual using duct-tape and WD-40. He’s appealing to the authoritarians who want a strong leader who will tell them what to do and how to think, and who will punish without mercy anyone who crosses him. He’s setting himself up as a symbol of the Great America that he says he can create, singlehandedly, without an owner’s manual (the Constitution) using only duct tape and WD-40 (fearmongering, bluster, and ignorance).

It’s worth noting that George Washington, the true Father of the Country, could have exploited the adulation of the people to make the presidency a kind of royal position. But he didn’t. And he deliberately stepped down after 8 years, setting a precedent that was not made law until the mid-20th century. That’s the kind of father the USA needs, not an orange blowhard who’s a failure at business and a failure as a human being.

It’s worth noting that George Washington, the true Father of the Country, could have exploited the adulation of the people to make the presidency a kind of royal position. But he didn’t. And he deliberately stepped down after 8 years, setting a precedent that was not made law until the mid-20th century. That’s the kind of father the USA needs, not an orange blowhard who’s a failure at business and a failure as a human being.

[WASHINGTON]
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I’m gone
Like the scripture says:
“Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid.”
They’ll be safe in the nation we’ve made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we’ve made
One last time

History has its eyes on you
We’re gonna teach ‘em how to
Say goodbye!

George Washington’s going home

Well, 27% is the number of “full” deplorables, so if we add half that number to reflect “semi” deplorables, we get 40.5%.

Coincidence? I think not!

freetoken Oct 13, 2016 • 8:43:01pm

It’s not just that “40%”. Drumpfskind may not even get than on a national total.

It’s that there are places in this country, whole states, which Drumfpskind may carry. Some by no small margin possibly.

The mid-South, Ohio-valley, and plains states are Drumpfskind country. Rural, many areas of these states have per capita incomes quite a bit below national average. These people are rebelling, actually planning on voting for a person who is proposing anti-American policies.

This is the fertile ground for the deplorables to recruit new members.

DALLAS - After perhaps the most damaging week of his campaign, Donald Trump’s lead in Texas has slipped to four percentage points - within the margin of error - according to a new poll released Thursday night.

The survey, commissioned by WFAA-TV and Texas TEGNA television stations, shows Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 47 percent to 43 percent. The margin of error is four percent.

I like the “perhaps”. Three and a bit weeks to go. I think Donny can top his own deplorable performances so far.

Talk about living in your own reality:
“NBC News did exactly what you would expect from a great news organization,” an NBC spokesperson said in a statement after the tape was released. “As soon as we saw the tape and made the assessment it was undoubtedly newsworthy, we moved quickly and deliberately to get it published and to do so in the most responsible way.”

And then we got beat to the punch by a reporter from the Washington Post—otherwise we probably would have quickly and deliberately buried that sucker 20 feet underground.

Problem:

Russia could tamper with the elections, and send several states over to the Republicans.

To tamper would require hacking voting machines, which are not connected to the Internet and not universal even within states that use them. So, the Russians would have to send out a small army of hackers to fiddle with individual machines. Even for the FSB, this scenario is very unlikely.

More worrisome is the Russian’s “soft” influence on the election, by feeding misinformation for Trump and Wikileaks to repeat as if it’s factual.

If anything happens to Aasia Bibi, then Pakistan should be treated as a pariah state, with sanctions worse than anything Iran was ever inflicted upon. It’s quite obvious that it’s not terrorist groups making hell for Christians in Pakistan, but average Pakistani citizens obsessed with the BS blasphemy law which is used to settle scores more than anything.

The question is, is it realistically possible to place sanctions on the country to change its ways?

msnbc, cnn, fox - it’s surreal to flip between the channels and hear nothing but stories of sexual assault, about trump and bill clinton

the story of hillary being threatening is really weird - the claim is that hillary was holding on to her hand or arm very tight, saying “we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us - do you understand? - everything!”

well ok hillary really appreciated everything you did!

i think hillary should look donald straight in the eye at the next debate if he accuses her of being behind the revelations and say “listen, donald, if you think i wanted to be talking about sexual assault instead of policy, if you thought i wanted to re-experience the most difficult and painful part of my life again after 20 years, if you thought i wanted to be dragged through the mud in a contest about who is the worst sexual abuser, you’ve got to be out of your mind”

Since Michelle’s speech is gaining so much traction and Hillary promoted it, I am waiting for Trump to take to Twitter and attack her.

And I know this beyond even the slightest shadow of a doubt, if he goes after FLOTUS the vast bulk of this country will be prepared to geld him. Some people you don’t go after in this world. She is one.

Okay, Trump is a terrible scumbag, sure… But hasn’t been quite pro-Michelle over the years? If I recall correctly, Trump has avoided attacking her and, when he has mentioned her, been quite respectful and complimentary.

I’m not even Catholic and I admire the guy. He’s not perfect, but he’s making a sincere effort to make the Church more welcoming and its leadership more responsive to their communities.

Jesuits are the intellectuals among the orders, but take vows of poverty as well. Francis seems to take both aspects seriously. Taking the name of Francis of Assisi was an important symbolic choice.

And yet Pope Francis still holds to the same tired theology that condemns contraception and family planning. He no more wants equality for women in the Church than any of his predecessors.

While Francis has called on the Church to address widening income inequality in First World nations, he continues to maintain such archaic ideas that women are not the equal of men, nor that they should be free of the shackles of endless births that guarantee in a poor nation they cannot advance their economic situation or improve their educational standing.

Perhaps the problem is too deep in the Roman Catholic Church: Francis is only one man (even if he is the alleged Vicar of Christ), and powerful forces in the Church seek to undermine his (very) modest reforms.

I liken the Church to the Republican Party: It is too hidebound to its ideology to be a meaningful force for progress.

The RCC has a long way to go before it joins the 21st century. It’s not just the hierarchy that is hidebound, but the worldwide membership, most of whom live in developing countries. American and western European Catholicism is far more liberal than elsewhere in the worldwide Church. Modernize too quickly, and it could lose its flock to the “other guys.”

The parallels between political parties and sectarianism are many.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — One of the last living crew members on the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has died. Raymond Haerry was 94.

His son says Haerry died Sept. 27 in Rhode Island.

He was one of six remaining Arizona survivors.

Raymond Haerry Jr. told The Associated Press on Friday that his father ran to an anti-aircraft gun on Dec. 7, 1941, but the ammunition was in storage.

He tried to get ammunition, but a large bomb detonated first.

Haerry Jr. says his father swam through flaming waters to shore and shot at Japanese planes from there.

The ship lost 1,177 men, nearly four-fifths of its crew.

Haerry Jr. says when he can afford it, he’ll take his father’s ashes to be interred on the Arizona at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, which is pictured at the top of this story.

SAN DIEGO — A Navy lieutenant commander on Thursday admitted to providing inside information to a Malaysian defense contractor nicknamed “Fat Leonard” whose ship supply company overbilled the maritime branch by at least $35 million in a mushrooming case involving nearly a dozen Navy officers so far, many of whom were bought off with prostitutes.

Supply and logistic officer Lt. Cmdr. Gentry Debord pleaded guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit bribery Thursday in federal court in San Diego.

His attorney Robert Schlein said his client has accepted responsibility for his actions and Schlein found him to be a “very open, honest and professional guy” in the seven months they worked together. He added that most of the offenses were committed when Debord was a junior officer.

A lecturer at the University of Virginia has apologized after comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the Ku Klux Klan on social media.
The Daily Progress (bit.ly ) reports that adjunct lecturer Douglas Muir apologized after responding to a Facebook post about Black Lives Matter, calling the movement the biggest racist organization since the KKK. In a statement on Oct. 11, Muir said his actions were wrong and apologized to his students and the community.

Muir agreed to take a leave from the school three days after posting the comment.

University spokesman Anthony de Bruyn says the school did not take disciplinary actions against Muir.

Muir is an adjunct lecturer at both the engineering and business schools. He is expected to return to his classes Monday.

I really wish there was more reporting about Trump’s GOTV campaigns vs Clinton’s.

Although the Texas poll showing Clinton within the margin of error to Trump, is probably a slight outlier and Trump probably has a slightly larger lead than that, a historically bad GOTV effort from Trump, vs a historically good GOTV campaign from Clinton would be able to close a substantial lead in the polls.

From what I can see, as late as mid-September, Trump effectively had no ground game in Texas, or almost any other states, other than the obvious battle ground states. While Clinton hasn’t invested a huge amount of ads in Texas the Democrats have been registering people to vote…..and huh, I just learnt that registering people to vote in Texas was one of the earlier things the Clintons did:

mystatesman.com

In 1972, a year after the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age in Texas to 18, Garry Mauro was working for a nonpartisan voter-registration campaign when he got a call from a Yale Law School student working on the George McGovern presidential campaign.

“One day I get a call from a woman who says, ‘I work for the DNC. I’ve come to Texas to try to register the 18-year-old voters, the Hispanics, the African-Americans, and we’re going to have an anti-voter intimidation probe,’ ” Mauro recounted.

The call was from Hillary Rodham, and it was the beginning of the Clintons’ long relationship with Mauro, who would go on to become Texas land commissioner, and with Texas.

Having Clinton win Texas on the basis of increased voter turnout, after working to register voters forty years ago, would be such a karmically awesome thing to happen, it has got to come true.

Obama Says Republicans Created Trump

in the most unequivocal way:

Said Obama: “The problem is not that all Republicans think the way this guy does. The problem is that they’ve been riding this tiger for a long time. They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years, primarily for political expedience. So if Trump was running around saying I wasn’t born here, they were okay with that as long as it helped them with votes. If some of these folks on talk radio talked about how I was the antichrist, that’s just politics.”

He added: “They stood by while this happened. And Donald Trump-as he’s prone to do—he didn’t build the building himself, he just slapped his name on it and took credit for it. And that’s what happened in their party.”

Erick son of Erick, now writing as Erick-Woods son of Erick, gets an editorial in the NYT:

Erick Erickson: The G.O.P. After Donald Trump

[…]

My wife and I have learned a great deal about community this past year. In March, angry Trump supporters showed up on our doorstep to berate me for not supporting their man. In April, I entered the hospital for a week with dozens of blood clots in my lungs. In August, my children were yelled at in a store by a man who wanted them to know their father was destroying the country by opposing Mr. Trump. This month, doctors confirmed that my wife, a nonsmoker, has a rare form of lung cancer. Just the other day, my son crept downstairs in the dead of night while I was working to ask if Trump supporters would be coming to our house again after the candidate’s latest scandal broke.

[…]

You’d think, after all that, he would have some real insight into the nature of Drumpfskind and America. But…

Through all of these events, it was not the federal government keeping watch on our house. It was our neighbors. It was not the federal government delivering meals to our home. It was our church. It was not the federal government picking up my children from school when my wife and I could not. It was our friends. It was not the federal government praying for us. It was our community.

Most Trump supporters believe their communities are under assault, and many feel too powerless and isolated to do anything about it. People need to feel more in control of their destiny, and that happens only when we ensure that their local governments shape their lives the most, not nine black-robed masters or a dysfunctional Congress in Washington.

[…]

He can’t help it. He really can’t. Dude is incapable of working outside his previous domain. He really is blind to the continuum and causality of his own religious right dogma and past right-wing activities with the current Drumpfskindepoche.

Yeah, I always thought the fiddle was out of tune. Hate that song, too.

“Uneasy Rider” is the one about a long-haied hippie type who winds up at a klan/cyclers bar and nearly gets his ass kicked until he says that he knows one guy is with the CIA and another guy…I can’t remember…but then he peels out in a way that would have made Mario Andretti proud.

An Old Dominion University student who reported she was raped in her dorm room is charging that campus police prevented her from getting a medical exam to preserve evidence until after she was interrogated for almost eight hours.
Her complaint to federal education officials about the October 2014 episode also says she was not given written information about her right to seek a protective order against the person she said attacked her, among other things. It accuses school officials of mishandling the case.

The complaint obtained by The Associated Press says the woman, who was not identified, told campus police after she was raped in her dorm room that she had an appointment at a local medical center for a forensic exam. Instead of taking the woman to the appointment, police took her to their department, where they held her for nearly eight hours and denied her food, water and access to the bathroom in between interrogations, the complaint says.

In a personal statement included with the complaint, the woman said the detectives made comments and asked questions that made her feel like she was “being violated again,” including “Do you like rough sex?” and “I’m just trying to find the crime here.” The experience left her with ongoing post-traumatic stress disorder and an anxiety disorder, she said.

I thought the revenge porn guy was in prison.

He apparently has nothing to offer but copying what someone else did. His revenge porn site was a rip off of someone else’s already existing site (IsAnybodyDown vs IsAnybodyUp - really…couldn’t even make the title original!) and now his Going Straight idea is a rip off of Uber/Lyft called Dryvyng.

I hope that shit follows him around for a long time.

He might consider that having a rap sheet tends to put lenders off. Instead, he resorts to the liberal oppression fantasy.

Simply by his keyboard having a return key.

There is no reason to conclude as he does, from the personal traumas he lists.

But Son of Erick cannot let go of his previous dogma.

This is the cognitive dissonance of which we all have written before.

Using the word “cognitive” in connection with Erick son of Eric is a stretch.

If she does use an executive order, it will because yet again the GOP will have to refuse any sensible ideas about gun laws. I’d prefer legislation be passed since it’s harder to repeal legislation versus executive orders but if the GOP yet again obstructs on guns, she may have no other choice. And honestly O’Keefe is the boy who cried wolf. Constantly with his fake videos so it’s definitely not as sinister as the little loser made it out to be.

It’s always amusing to me (and other British people as well I think) when in American films, the location changes to London, and the film shows a panorama of the London city skyline and in large text has “London, England”. It assumes that the audience needs some help either locating what country London is in, or just to differentiate between the English London, and the one is Kentucky or Arkansas.

2 Roseville women dressed as clowns arrested after chasing 14-year-old girls

According to police, the clowns jumped out of a vehicle in the 18000 block of Minnesota Street and chased the girls, saying they were going to kill them.

READ: Dearborn police arrest 3 ‘scary clowns’

The girls ran away and went to the Roseville Police Department at about 9 p.m.

Officers went to the area and found “two idiots” dressed as clowns and they attempted to flee on foot, police said. A foot chase ensued and both individuals were taken into custody.

These are the idiots looking none too amused at their arraignment:

I normally wouldn’t endorse a public servant calling someone an idiot, but it seems entirely appropriate for an adult human being who would pull this kind of shit in a country that has 300 million guns floating around.

Even if, and most likely, Drumpfskind loses, the down-ticket in recent polls does not show a big Democratic surge.

I’m going just leave this here:

Her speech lit up Twitter and the Internet. She spoke as Trump was waiting to appear, and on the cable networks — two at least — the images showed a fiery first lady dominating the screen with a tiny box in the corner of the crowded arena awaiting the GOP nominee. Both CNN and MSNBC broke away from regular coverage to show the Obama speech. Fox News did not carry it.

And I’ll say, I’m not entirely sure that will be the case. I’m in a dark red part of Texas and I hear no talk of Trump. I think most Republicans are going to want to forget about him as soon as they can. Oh, they’ll vote against Clinton, but Trump will fade from their memory.

Hillary Is Downright Inspiring

i could almost quote the whole thing.

Put yourself in Hillary’s shoes for a moment. …Your opponent is an impulsive, amoral ignoramus with a long history of humiliating women. He has made it his strategy during this debate to dredge up what are probably the darkest moments of your personal life…in an attempt to throw you off guard and cow you into submission. He literally tells you to your face that he will imprison you if he wins the election.

What would you do? …She listened carefully to the voters who were asking her questions and offered them empathetic, intelligent, and articulate answers. She serenely and thoughtfully enumerated the character faults that make Trump unfit for office. She laughed it off when Trump insulted her in the most personal of terms. And at the end, she complimented him on his children. —Hillary responded to undeniably sexist personal attacks that are unprecedented in the history of modern American politics with an inspiring level of grace and poise.

…I am saying she deserves credit for showing up and getting the job done while a psychopath invaded her personal space, lied repeatedly, attempted to degrade her in the basest and vilest terms, and threatened to jail her for the crime of being a successful woman in the public eye….But that’s the point: Hillary has displayed superhuman strength in the face of disgusting, unfair, and false attacks on her character and judgment. If that’s not inspiring, I don’t know what is.

re: #277 Le Lapin Tueur

How’s the lawsuit against GA to extend registration going? I understand they’re going for an 18 October date, like FL did.

I found a news article that says the hearing is in 20 minutes (10 AM Friday). I hope it’s extended, I should be able to register if I have until next Tuesday.

GA requirements are a bit of a Confederacy Disenfranchisement Special - I don’t have a GA Driver’s License yet, so I need to produce a Passport or Birth Certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of residence (otherwise I might be a Kenyan Mewzlim, you know). I’m hoping I’ve got bank statements in our PO Box with my changed address, but the post office lost part of its roof in the storm and all our mail is arriving at the next island over for possibly 4-6 weeks. I don’t think I can even collect from our PO Box because my housemate’s name is on it, and not mine yet, even though I have a key… And she’s out of town this weekend.

My voting may be limited to yelling “TRUCK FUMP!” out my car window downtown and maybe drawing little swastikas on the Trump signs around the island.

One of our down-the-street neighbors is a sour-faced old guy nicknamed “Sarge” who was in the USMC for a couple of years but never deployed out of the States, who has a “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder” sticker on his pickup. The other night I was walking back up the avenue to my place, and he was sitting outside with a hate-buddy of his and I overheard something about “The spooks there will steal your wallet!”

Seriously, I’ve been within earshot of the guy once in my whole life, and that’s what I heard, at 8 PM on a Tuesday night. :facepalm: And OF COURSE he’s the guy with Trump signs all over his corner of the yard…

So yeah, I’d like to help push GA away from that guy if I can. :P

Obama also criticized Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott for fueling a conspiracy theory that the president was attempting to launch martial law in Texas, pretending they didn’t know about a military training exercise.

“What do you mean, you don’t know? What does that mean? Really? You think that like, the entire Pentagon said, ‘Oh, really, you know, you want to declare martial law and take over Texas? Let’s do it under the guise of routine training missions,’” Obama said. “They took it seriously. This is in the swamp of crazy that has been fed over and over and over and over again.”

it gets much worse:

A three-month investigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Fund—including interviews with white nationalist leaders and an analysis of social-media networks, nearly 100 hours of fringe talk radio, and dozens of posts on influential hate sites—reveals that what has largely been portrayed by the media as Trump “gaffes” has instead been understood by far-right extremists as a warm embrace by Trump. Extremists’ zeal for Trump only grew with his decision in August to hire a new campaign chief, Stephen Bannon, the former publisher of Breitbart News and a big booster himself of far-right rhetoric. Trump’s enduring campaign tactics—from calls for black protesters to be “roughed up” to the circulation of racist, anti-Muslim, and anti-Semitic language and memes—is proof for them that white nationalism has not only arrived, but has found a champion in a major-party nominee for president of the United States.

The Trump campaign did not respond to multiple detailed requests for comment regarding this story.

In early October, when bombshell archival video revealed Trump bragging about sexual assault and plunged his campaign and the GOP into chaos, that only further energized his extremist supporters. “Girls really don’t mind guys that like pussies,” influential alt-right video blogger RamZPaul said. “They just hate guys who are pussies.”

Others celebrated Trump’s angry, defiant debate performance on the heels of the video revelation. Spencer declared victory for Trump “because, basically, Trump fought back. He didn’t abandon these issues that really define him and define our connection to him.”

“The people believe Trump won the debate,” Anglin posted. “It’s really just an objective fact. Not sure how even liberal kikes could claim otherwise.”

Here’s my guess. While Trump has hired people like Bannon and Conway to manage his campaign, he micromanages them, or overrules them post facto. So, everybody has a different thing to say, not knowing the strategy has changed since they got their marching orders. Besides all that hot mess, Trump has till now hired and replaced two other managers who were dead weight because of their PR baggage.

Then we’ve got Trump himself, who lies to suit the occasion, is impulsive and intractable, and has the memory and attention span of a flea. So he barks orders, people scurry around, then he changes the orders moments later. Rinse and repeat.

Parks stood outside the offices for almost 12 hours. Dittmar volunteers say that the protest was disturbing.

“If he wants to support his candidate that’s fine, but don’t come here and stare into the office all day,” said Su Wolff, a Fluvanna County resident and Dittmar volunteer.

Parks was eventually joined by another protester, and Wolff said that the most troubling part of the protest was that both of them started to expose their firearms.

“He turned sideways to be sure that we would see that he has an open carry gun, which is legal, and is fine, but it’s intimidating,” she said.

Parks said that his firearm is legal, and that he had no ill intention by carrying it.

“We’re not a threat to anybody, the only threat is ignorance, and ignorance breeds fear,” he said.

What I fear is this: a false accusation comes forward, and then is proven false. This then will provide cover for those who want to dismiss the legitimate claims of real victims.

This of course is the real challenge constantly faced in our society in how to deal with these problems.

Reply Reply w/ Quote Images

Let’s make clear what the 2016 presidential election isn’t about:

It is not about choosing between a bad candidate and a worse one. The narrative that Hillary Clinton is the lesser of two evils is patently wrong. Ms. Clinton is a pragmatic, tough-minded woman of accomplishment and political conviction with a demonstrated mastery of policy. She is politically flawed. However, Donald Trump is a damaged human being.

It’s not about an entertaining, shoot-from-the-hip renegade outsider taking on a mainstay of the entrenched political elite. That was Sarah Palin vs. Joe Biden back in 2008. No, Mr. Trump is the elite, one who has managed to talk a good game to fire up frustrated and frightened mostly white Americans with a campaign of hate and xenophobia.

For her part, Ms. Clinton has used her insider status to work aggressively on behalf of the disenfranchised, here and around the world. She has not won every battle, but she fights the good fight, and she fights the right ones in the name of equality and democracy.

It is not about Bill Clinton. He’s not running for president. Been there, done that.

It’s far more important for Americans to understand what election 2016 is about: Most starkly, our values, our national identity and even the enduring power of the Constitution are in question — and at stake. Most simply, Americans will define just who we are.

And Hillary Clinton is by far the best person in this race to lead us to a definition of which we can be proud. She will protect the best interests of this nation, its standing on the world stage and even democracy itself.

Anemic? I am.
Boiled eggs with hummus & spinach is high in iron! Great quick snack & a way to help cure anemia.
My blood work came back. I’m low in iron. Now, I’ve always had this problem. But since I always feel healthy and vital, I never really worried about it.

This time, I decided to see what would happen if I raised it back to normal levels. To see how it would make me feel.
What do I have to do? Eat foods rich in iron. Take iron supplement. Have it with Vitamin C for better iron absorption. Cut back on caffeine which inhibits iron absorption. (Yeah, this has been rough for me. Major caffeine withdrawal symptoms.) Will give you update!

Bannon runs a white supremacist site called Breitbart, for god’s sake. How can the media ignore that the CEO of Trump’s campaign is just David Duke with a job?

Every one of his spox should be asked how they can defend that every single time they show up to lie on tv. If they refuse to answer, boom-boom, out go the lights for them.

The GOP is so far off the rails, that they don’t get that their misogynistic worldview is out of date and isn’t what most Americans want. The so called small government types are anything but - they want government so small that it fits up in lady bits and as bathroom gatekeepers, but they don’t seem to have a problem with sex predator in chief Trump trying to become President.

Trump asserts things he’s said and done, and the GOP attacks women who say, yup - he’s done those things at me.

This is a fundamental difference between Bill Clinton and Trump. Clinton denied relationships, or denied that the relationships were anything but consensual. Whitewater included investigating some of these claims. Some of these claims were litigated.

Trump says that he feels he’s immune to repercussions because he’s rich and entitled, so he can sexually assault women. His sons concur. This isn’t locker room talk. It’s admitting that they’re sexual predators who can get away with it because they’re rich and powerful.

So, when women now come forward to claim that they’ve been attacked by Trump, the GOP response is to equate with Clinton, when that simply doesn’t hold true.

The fallback is why do these women come forward now and not when it happened. See two paragraphs above - rich and powerful - things are done differently around them. It shouldn’t, but that’s the case.

Oh, and Billy Bush admits that he was worried about standing up to Trump or else facing repercussions himself. Yeah, really.

If he was worried about being fired in that fashion imagine how the women @realDonaldTrump sexually assaulted or targeted felt @CBSNews

Female geoscientists get worse recommendation letters than men do

Though women earn almost half of the PhDs in geoscience, they only hold 10 percent of the tenured faculty positions in this field. A recent paper published in Nature Geoscience takes a look at the career pipeline that feeds researchers into these positions, finding that women receive fewer excellent recommendation letters than their male colleagues. This is likely to be one of the factors holding women back at this critical time in their careers.

Under-representation of women in STEM disciplines is well documented, and the disparity tends to increase in the years between postdoctoral positions and faculty positions. Previous research on this phenomenon has focused on everything from implicit bias to historical, social, and institutional factors.

This most recent study focused on the role of recommendation letters, which are an important part of academic advancement. They often help labs and institutions determine if the “fit” is right for an applicant. Previous studies have shown that there is evidence of qualitative differences in recommendation letters for men versus women, but this new study focuses specifically on the issue of overall “tone” in the recommendations.

As to Billy Bush, as loathsome a toad as he is, he is likely correct…he would have gotten fired. That doesn’t excuse the “give him a hug” which has nothing to do with his employment or not. It is easy to be all smiles, while being disgusting, and simply walking away afterwards (and taking a delousing shower). The play along before exiting the bus and then The Hug bullshit put this in a completely different situation than he was worried about getting fired.

Had you not played along, laughed, joked, agreed and then did The Hug, you would have had the moral high ground when talking about losing your job. But forget it, Billy boy, you fell a little with that with the first “Sure!” and lost it completely with The Hug.

Aren’t you the asshole who attacked the Pope, dipshit?

Trump is more Catholic than the Pope. And Trump isn’t even Catholic.

I’m baptized Catholic. Even have an uncle who was a priest. It’s very common within Catholic circles to be critical of the church. The whole outrageous outrage is stupid desperation shit.

It’s a last-ditch effort to appeal to Latinos.

Because Katrina Pierson declared her knowledge of aircraft during the period in question when at least one accuser claimed Trump grabbed her, multiple folks are poring over old photos of aircraft cabin interiors.

Let’s just say it’s not good news for Trump:

So far, I’ve found photos of armrests stowing on 70s-80s vintage Braniff, National and TWA first class cabins. pic.twitter.com/UDuFpbNrsL

re: #563 Belafon

I’m also surprised: Have they picked electors already? Couldn’t he be replaced?

In general, parties select their electors & alternates at party conventions, after state primaries/caucuses, and are registered with state election boards/divisions/whatnot when parties submit the presidential candidate for ballot. States have set steps to replace.
Trump almost lost chance to be on Minnesota ballot because state party forgot to select alternate electors

As to Billy Bush, as loathsome a toad as he is, he is likely correct…he would have gotten fired. That doesn’t excuse the “give him a hug” which has nothing to do with his employment or not. It is easy to be all smiles, while being disgusting, and simply walking away afterwards (and taking a delousing shower). The play along before exiting the bus and then The Hug bullshit put this in a completely different situation than he was worried about getting fired.

Had you not played along, laughed, joked, agreed and then did The Hug, you would have had the moral high ground when talking about losing your job. But forget it, Billy boy, you fell a little with that with the first “Sure!” and lost it completely with The Hug.

No sympathy for him. At all.

Pattern of behavior not involving Donald Trump.

Its not unusual for there to be a faithless elector. Fortunately it looks like the race won’t be close and Clinton will have far more than 270 electoral votes.

The remains of Typhoon Songda which spun north of Japan and worked its way back along the Gulf of Alaska and down into the Pacific Northwest.

We’re currently enjoying a little weather of our own down here in Northern California…first rain of the season…and it’s pressure washing my house as I type. You can’t quite see them because my phone camera isn’t that great, but there are a few kite surfers out by the jetty in the background screaming across the harbor. The other side of the jetty looks like the North Sea. Fucking beautiful.

I was doing a little GoogleFoo the other day and came across John Oliver taking him apart and he had some other old videos of Bush. Billy is a junior Donald Trump. He just got caught now.

Here are the videos…

There were tornado warnings (!) in SW Washington this morning. So far the windstorm hasn’t amounted to a whole lot, but Saturday we’re promised one rivaling the Columbus Day storm of 1962. Whee!

Common? I thought it was one of the tenets.

Maybe I just ended up feeling that way from 12 years of Catholic education. I became very critical!
