Trump Joins Forces With the Eurofascists

Bad craziness indeed

I’ve been writing about the convergence of US and European far right parties for years. Now here it is, out in the open, at the highest level of US government.

The far right party Kyle Griffin is referring to is France’s Front National, which started as an openly Nazi-sympathizing, Holocaust-denying hate group. Marine Le Pen has cleaned up the image somewhat, but the hatred and xenophobia remain the same.

It’s deeply disturbing that the Trump campaign is making alliances with these Eurofascist groups. Who’s next? Jobbik? (That’s a Jobbik supporter pictured above.) Golden Dawn? Vlaams Belang? Sweden Democrats? The British National Party?

Trump also met today with another far right leader, the former head of the UKIP, Nigel Farage. And Dutch Muslim-hater Geert Wilders has been invited to several Trump events recently. This is no fluke. Stephen Bannon is very deliberately bringing some of the worst political forces in the world into alignment with the upcoming Trump administration.

It appears we’re in for some very dark times, folks.

Well, here’s one European who has no doubts about Trump:

Trump election: Juncker warns president may upset US ties with Europe

[…]

“We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works,” Mr Juncker told students in Luxembourg.

The Commission chief predicted that two years would be wasted while Mr Trump “tours a world he doesn’t know”.

About that demographics thing that’s supposed to eventually help the Democrats?

Trump is aligning with people who have ‘final solutions’ to deal with that.

Anyone holding any illusions about the media actually bringing this to light the same way they tried to tie the stupid Rev. Wright bullshit around Obama, or the usual Soros boogeyman?

Of course not, because these are just nice white patriots worried about their respective countries and their economic health, right?

Remember, the NF praised Breivik’s ideas.

I wound up binge watching all of Ken Burns’ ‘The Civil War’ yesterday (it’s all on YouTube). I had never watched it before. I finished it thinking that we’re barely more enlightened now than we were back then. At least Lincoln won re-election.

Yeah, I know…as a Tennessean, it pissed me off to no end, but, considering that Wilders spoke at a megachurch here in Nashville not even five miles away from my house back in 2011, I honestly can’t say I was surprised.

While most of metro Nashville/Davidson County is pretty blue, there are some pockets of red (generally where the money lives, such as Oak Hill, Green Hills, and Belle Meade) and many of our surrounding counties and exurbs are blood-red.

Hi, everyone,

I have to leave for a social event (!), but I wanted to mention, on the Constitutional Amendment front, that it doesn’t only take 3/4 of the states to ratify, it takes 2/3 of each house to pass them.

So be afraid, but not very afraid. Yet.

IIRC there’s two ways to change the constitution.

1) Normal amendments: 2/3 of both houses in congress, 3/4 of the states.

2) New constitutional convention convened by the states (2/3). Any amendments proposed by this convention would still need to be approved by 3/4 of the states.

Nutjobs fantasize about #2, but nobody has ever pulled the pin on that grenade.

Edited to correct the fraction of states needed to call a convention.

It’s basically a nuclear option if the states feel like they need to bulldoze the federal government on some issue. I don’t think even Drumpf will push us so far as to trigger that particular fail-safe.

Okay maybe I do have two words: Surprise Me. Surprise me majority America and don’t fall back into old habits. Surprise me and don’t tell me “it’s not time yet” or “its too soon”. Surprise me and take this threat as seriously as you would an issue related to yourself. Because eventually this will infringe on your rights too (just like as before).

And before you say, “not me” or “not all”, surprise me and listen. Both of my grandfather’s were almost lynched despite living in different area of the country (North and South) and totally different means (rich pillars of the community vs poor).

I’ve seen attitudes change already with talk of “identity politics less” surprise me and realize it’s not how I identify, but how others identify me.

Man, both your grandfathers were almost lynched? See, that’s what a lot of white people and I say this as a white man don’t get when people talk about white privilege. That your grandfathers and many other men like them had to fear that is just something that so many whites cannot relate to, I can’t relate to it but I do want to be able to understand and empathize. The history has me worried. We really did take a big step back Tuesday night.

Meanwhile Cenk and his WolfPAC is pushing to call a Constitutional Convention to overturn Citizens United. If he gets that the door is open for anything. That scares me. What will they go after in such a convention? Will they gut everything in the Bill of Rights except the 2nd Amendment?

We don’t need a full goddamn Constitutional Convention just to get rid of Citizens. There’s got to be a better way. Well, there is - by not electing dipshits to state and federal positions - but that appears to be a long, long way away.

Grandpa, well to do from a family with deep roots in the county, found the body (suicide) of a white woman in the creek that ran through his farm.

He alerted authorities, and my mom says it was a tense 4 days. They didn’t take him in put they sorta put my grandfather and his family under house arrest/protection. Which was humiliating. Also this was the 50s.

In the end, everyone decided it was definitely a suicide, and just unfortunate that the body came to rest where it did.

I understand. Just awful. I can’t fathom what that must have been like. I’ve reading a wonderful book about the Great Migration and I have to say, it seems to me that many African-Americans were in a way more immigrants than actual immigrants. So many in white America either have no idea what men like your grandfathers went through for generations or they have no attempt to want to understand.

I’ve said it before but while I have no doubt that my ancestors who emigrated to the US had difficult lives and even experienced discrimination whether for being Catholic or being the wrong ethnic group, it wasn’t even close to what African-Americans have gone through especially from the start. Working in iron works as my great great grandfather and his brothers and in laws did was tough work as was the coal mining other members of the family later did but they were still free. And they didn’t have to worry if they looked at someone the wrong way being killed. I’ve seen some other white Americans of Irish descent say the Irish got picked on and never complained. Uh yeah, we did, we raised hell like BLM is trying to do and we got called the same names and shit. BLM isn’t complaining anyhow.

sandralhanlon  Nov 12, 2016 • 2:45:09pm

I am not usually hair on fire alarmed, but this looks like fascism 101 to me. Trump will not denounce the racism, because this chaos works for him. He will bait the protesters and may even plant some “protesters” to start riots because it works for him. He has no problem letting the country become the hellhole he ranted about at his rallies. The more chaos, the more we will turn against each other and he will be able to justify grabbing all the power he desires. Next election talk is meaningless, if we don’t maintain our rights and the rights of each and everyone of us (and yes even the KKK!). So, plan. My plan, that needs work, cause I didn’t think I needed one until Florida & the Senate fell, is this.
(1) Protect all citizens as best you can. Wear the safety pin. Have a response ready before you confront a racist “I don’t accept that premise” “What would Jesus think?” “I am on the side of decency”. Record, but do not argue, just repeat your planned response. I am with Michael Moore. White folks have a special obligation to protect those most at risk. Stand in front, but let their voices carry through the lines. It isn’t about us.Wear a safety pin. Put a sign in your door. If you must, buy a gun. These will be dangerous times.
(2) Protest smart, nonviolent & expect someone to try to start something. Be prepared to leave, don’t let us become associated with fear. (3) Get ground alliances in place. Careful who you trust, don’t rely on labels. A small c conservative can be a better ally in fighting to protect Rights under the constitution, that a lefty yearning for a revolution. We can pick up the political skirmishes after the real threat is over. (4) Forget everything don’t waste your energy on anything but maintaining the Rights of all citizens and the Rule of Law. The press will be attacked first. Yes, they let us down, but you will have to defend them. They won’t step up to the plate, but we can’t give away any rights, or they could fall like dominoes. (5) Give to associations already in the fight. Give until it hurts. Planned Parenthood. NARAL. ACLU. Any organization committed to defending rights has the practice & they will need money. (6) Fly the American Flag. “yes, I am a patriot, I proudly pay my taxes, because I realize what a bargain I get.” “Yes I am a Patriot, because I proudly pay my taxes to ensure our Veterans are given back everything they deserve.” Propaganda big time. True, but we need to reclaim the flag & the label Patriot. Yes I am a Patriot, because I believe in equal rights for all citizens and believe this country should be safe for all visitors, no matter why they are here. (7) Purity politics is dead. There is no such thing as “corrupt” money. I don’t care where the money comes from as long as it ends up being used to defend our rights & the constitution.

Just a start. Feel free to attack, improve, suggest, add. Just don’t try to convince me there is no threat, because it is as clear as the words I am typing now. Just as clear as the knowledge I had that Hillary had lost before Florida was even called.

I think I remember reading that in the 20’s, 1/3 Indiana white Protestant native born males was a KKK member.

I heard a funny story about Richmond, IN once. For some reason, Richmond had a thriving recording industry. Jazz and blues groups recorded there and of course had their own black hotels. On at least one occasion in the ’20s or ’30s, a famous jazz group* had just finished recording and was leaving the studio as a KKK group entered to record anthems (yes, the KKK cut records back then). Some uncomfortable exchanges, but they passed in peace. (Pretty sure Glenn Miller was from Richmond.)

*I want to say Louis Armstrong, but I don’t remember.

Crazy. But yeah I knew the KKK had jingles back then. They very much tried to Americanize it. It’s not a coincidence that the KKK was its most successful when they marketed themselves that way rather than as a Southern vets group in the years of Reconstruction.

I hate saying it but it is no longer a matter of “if” but a matter of “when” an alt-right/far-right act of large-scale (think hundreds of people affected) act of domestic terrorism happens. These people think of Anders Breivik, Dylan Roof, Jared Loughner, Eric Rudolph, and Timothy Mc Veigh as heroes, and are being emboldened by the election of Trump. What’s worse, when it does happen, they will openly celebrate the act.

Trump’s proud prediction of this being Brexit times 50, where there has been a massive upswing in assaults against non-whites since that vote is already showing itself to be true in the United States.

Won’t do much good though. Globally speaking, black, brown and yellow people have a big advantage in terms of numbers. Hell, China + India alone make up over 30% of the world’s population. worldometers.info

Also, even if the racists here in the U.S. wanted to implement some kind of “final solution,” who would be left to do all the jobs they consider themselves too good for? I’m guessing even if they could get rid of all the races & ethnicities they disapprove of, then they’d have to turn a portion of white people into an underclass.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are reviewing the Democratic Coalition’s investigative report highlighting 10 “clear links” that the FBI failed to investigate about our President-elect’s business ties to Russia, and to the Putin regime.

It’s named “The Dworkin Report.”

“The FBI missed at least 10 key connections between President-elect Trump and Russia when they conducted their investigation and concluded that our President-elect had no links to the country,” said Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the Democratic Coalition and author of the report. “It is imperative that the American people be made aware of this information.”

The Dworkin Report shows that Donald Trump has incorporated almost 250 registered businesses in Russia.

This hard evidence directly contradicts Trump’s prior statements about having no business ties to Russia over the summer.

He can’t read.

There is a mole stench around this Dworkin guy. Even the debunked claim aside, his report is ridiculous. I don’t mean untruthful, but the parts that are relevant we already knew about (Flynn and Stein dining with Putin, for example).

Take the part about Piotrovsky. Dworkin says Trump met with Piotrovsky and then inserts photos of Piotrovsky meeting with Putin and Putin giving him a medal.
Piotrovsky is a fucking director of the State Hermitage. Of course he would meet with Putin, of course Putin would give him a medal and of course he meets with a buttload of important people all over the world.

It’s like someone in Russia posting about evil Mr. X who the Librarian of the Congress met with, then posting her pics with Obama in order to tie Mr. X to Obama. I can’t even.

And all of these irrelevancies pile up to introduce the “bombshell” of the “250 businesses”.

Either this Dworkin guy is a pure imbecile, or it’s a deeper game.

She’d done time in prison and wasn’t to be trifled with, but people see the hijab and make all sorts of assumptions, y’know? Anyway, not too long after 9/11 she was putting gas in her car and a man approached her holding his gas nozzle and threatening to douse her with it and set her on fire.

Her response? She dropped everything, threw herself at him, and wrapped her arms around him in a huge bear hug telling him to go ahead and do it, but know that he’d be coming with her if she did. He beat a fast path the hell outta there. Screaming at her that she was crazy. LOL.

But of course—they’ll gaze at their navels and talk about how he’s pivoting to be so presidential, and wasn’t it a shame about those emails and BENGHAZI. Trump tax returns? Oh, that’s all water under the bridge—did you see the new Ivanka Trump line yet? She’s so delightful and stylish—what’s that you say? She’s advising her father AND running his businesses? That can’t be true—she and her brothers said they’d never even talk to daddy about the businesses.

re: #25 EPR-radar

IIRC there’s two ways to change the constitution.

1) Normal amendments: 2/3 of both houses in congress, 3/4 of the states.

2) New constitutional convention convened by the states (2/3). Any amendments proposed by this convention would still need to be approved by 3/4 of the states.

Nutjobs fantasize about #2, but nobody has ever pulled the pin on that grenade.

Edited to correct the fraction of states needed to call a convention.

I think the closest we came close in the 1970s at the height of Watergate. As I recall from my reading there was some sort of push to move to a Prime Minister system.

Things would have to break down completely for a convention to be called. And there’s no telling what the end result would be. Remember the last time we had one it was supposed to amend and fix the Articles of Confederation - instead we got a whole new system of government. And sadly, I don’t see Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, or Ben Franklin walking through that door anytime soon

Truth no defense against Trumpism:

Mountain View High School placed teacher Frank Navarro on paid leave after a parent complained in an email about the lesson and statements that Navarro made in class.

Navarro — a 40-year classroom veteran and expert in Holocaust studies — said, “This feels like we’re trying to squash free speech. Everything I talk about is factually based. They can go and check it out. It’s not propaganda or bias if it’s based on hard facts.”

some of Navarro’s students (said) that his lessons were “one-sided” and that he used language that Trump supporters would find offensive.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a sheriff’s deputy ordered George Zimmerman to leave a central Florida bar after Zimmerman accused a black customer of hitting him and used a racial slur.

Citing an incident report, news outlets report the bar manager asked Seminole County deputies to remove Zimmerman on Wednesday because he yelled at a female employee, snatched a credit card from her and used a racial slur.

When deputies arrived, Zimmerman demanded that a black man be arrested for hitting him. Authorities say bar video shows the man had given Zimmerman two friendly pats on the arm. No one was arrested.

I didn’t go into the racism or even the fascist part of it all, but part of his line of thinking was “Hey, he’s going to lower your taxes. Wouldn’t you like to have a little extra scratch in your pocket?”

She didn’t get religion until about 18 months ago but someone got to her online with the most judgmental christianist bullshit and she’s just full of it now.

I do think he’s gotten better somewhat in the past nine years but if his people hold Clinton’s Iraq War vote against her, I think it’s perfectly legitimate of us to criticize him. As Rep. Gutierrez said in the primaries, Steve King of all people had given him praise on that issue, and if you’re getting praise from Steve King on any issue, that’s troubling.

This is what separates us from them. A simple matter of inclusion vs. exclusion.

An apology isn’t what he needs to do, what he needs to do is be a leader on the issue.

Honestly, I hate hearing immigrants take our jobs since your ancestors were definitely immigrants who were accused by people of doing the same.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

WASHINGTON—Putting the nation on alert against what it has described as a “highly credible terrorist threat,” the FBI announced today that it has uncovered a plot by members of al-Qaeda to sit back and enjoy themselves while the United States collapses of its own accord.

Multiple intelligence agencies confirmed that the militant Islamist organization and its numerous affiliates intend to carry out a massive, coordinated plan to stand aside and watch America’s increasingly rapid decline, with terrorist operatives across the globe reportedly mobilizing to take it easy, relax, and savor the spectacle as it unfolds.

“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”

“And unfortunately, based on information we have from intelligence assets on the ground, this plot is already well under way,” he added….

Dallas Sous Chef Told “Get Out of My Country! We Won!” After Speaking Spanish to His Grandmother:

Christian Koelling is white. He’s also a DFW native, graduating from Plano High School and working at restaurants like Tei-An and Ten Ramen before taking a sous chef position at Braindead Brewing. Despite his “super Caucasian” background, he says, yesterday, a Donald Trump supporter verbally attacked Koelling in the parking lot of a Plano Walmart, telling him “get out of [my] country! We won! You lose! Now get back across the wall,” Koelling recounts.

At the time, Koelling says, he was on the phone with his grandmother, who is also white. “I’m not super great (at speaking Spanish), but my grandmother wants to learn, so we talk in Spanish when she calls,” he says. “Apparently my accent is on point, though.”

The guys who said this to him were, he estimated, in their 20s.

I still can’t read the news yet. It’s all I can do to read LGF without getting too depressed to function.

I wound up binge watching all of Ken Burns’ ‘The Civil War’ yesterday (it’s all on YouTube). I had never watched it before. I finished it thinking that we’re barely more enlightened now than we were back then. At least Lincoln won re-election.

then we assassinated him. then we followed him with a guy we impeached. and then we followed HIM with a guy who ran the most corrupt administration of the 19th century. We’ve actually been in bad straits before as a nation. Believe it or not, other than my losing health insurance during the first reconciliation package, I’m moderately hopeful that we can hold out for two years, and then perhaps have generated so much disgust in the Republican brand that we pick up 3 senate seats.

Believe it or not, other than my losing health insurance during the first reconciliation package, I’m moderately hopeful that we can hold out for two years, and then perhaps have generated so much disgust in the Republican brand that we pick up 3 senate seats.

I think my problem is that I tend to see the worst-case scenario.

If Trump voters think we’re only worried about losing abortion rights, gay rights, and the VRA then quite frankly they aren’t imagining hard enough.

I think what the DNC needs to do is to spend a lot of money working with all registered Democrats in every state with Voter ID to assist any who lack the Gestapo-required papers to get them, including driving them to the DMV, helping with filling out paperwork, etc.

Of course we continue to fight the laws in court, but we haven’t always won, and it may get worse.

We should be doing book recommendations more often.

Here’s one I read a few weeks back:

I just finished reading “Spiderlight” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Yay for reading! :)

“Spiderlight” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Sets itself up as a standard fantasy plot — adventurers (a cleric, a fighter, a rogue, a wizard, and a ranger) on a quest against the Dark Lord — until we meet the final member of the band — a giant spider who’s been shapeshifted into a mostly human form.

And some graphic novels:

Instagram

Quick overnight trip to Amarillo = new graphic novels starring the Black Panther, Squirrel Girl, and Mockingbird!

The first volume of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther series, the first volume of Chelsea Cain’s wonderful Mockingbird series, and the first Squirrel Girl graphic novel, which is as great as you’d expect.

While we are talking movies and TV, Doctor Strange was fun and I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy. Zootopia was good but (haha) rather directly relevant to the whole politics of fear thing so if you are currently sensitive to those undercurrents maybe wait on that. (Assuming you are like me and soooooooooooooooo far behind.)

I’m all ears on recommendations for mr. klys. He’s enjoyed Deadwood (Profanity Western, as it is known in our house), Americans (waiting on a price decrease for the current season), Justified, and Man in a High Castle. Recently watched the pilot for Gotham and isn’t sure if it is worth what Amazon wants for the season. Enjoyed the pilot for Supergirl but is definitely sure it isn’t worth the season price.

Given that the only thing I am currently looking forward to watching on TV is Planet Earth II, I am not the person to give him recommendations but if someone else wants to offer I am very happy to pass along. We don’t currently have Netflix but if there is a really good reason to consider it it could happen.

The Black Panther series is the first comics writing he’s done. It’s a really cool book, though I worry the Panther is one of those characters with enough backstory baggage that he’d be hard for new readers to get into. I’m glad Marvel gave him a shot with this one — I’d love to see him write a little fiction here and there. :)

We watched Zootopia when my niece visited. She loved that even though she’s too young to understand the issues in it. As for Mr. Klys, I’ve really liked the first two seasons of Fargo. Is he a Coen brothers fan? If he enjoyed that movie and likes how they do things, I think he might enjoy that.

“Justified” is a great example of an extremely skilled cast being subjected to some of the goofiest writing since “The A-Team”.

I thought “The Fall” was exceptionally good, especially the first season. It got a little wobbly in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, but all in all it’s worth a watch.

We don’t currently have Netflix but if there is a really good reason to consider it it could happen.

I had been thinking of watching Man in the High Castle, but the timing seems a little off for me to enjoy it…

Now, I would definitely recommend Netflix for a couple of things like Black Mirror, a show that explores the negative consequences of our accelerating technology, but again, it’s a show that would have played better a week ago.

Luke Cage is a Marvel show they have about a superhero in Harlem. The story could definitely have been told better, but the neighborhood itself is like a character unto itself. I love when when a film/TV show really immerses you in a setting, and this pulls it off exceptionally well, especially with the music.

Jessica Jones is probably the best of the Marvel shows. It’s about a woman who had been traumatized and now has to deal with her attacker coming back. It’s a well-told story that revolves around how people deal with trauma in their own ways.

Since you have Amazon I can also throw Hannibal in here. Mads Mikkelsen (the oone who played the villain in Dr. Strange) does such a good job that I don’t even picture Anthony Hopkins in the role anymore. His relationship with Will is very well done.

That’s all for now.

re: #419 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Gotham is well written, and dark in many ways — as befits the backstory of The Batman. The acting is also quite good. I recommend it.

Supergirl is lighter in almost all aspects, more of a kid’s show I suppose, but I still watch it. They’re addressing immigration and prejudice under the guise of ETs living on Earth, and season two is gently dealing with same-sex relationships.

If Mr klys is a comics fan, he’ll enjoy them.

Passed along. He likes comics stuff somewhat but mostly in the movie/adaptation sense. I think he’ll probably spring on Gotham though, and wait on Supergirl to see if it hits Amazon Prime.

re: #396 steve_davis

then we assassinated him. then we followed him with a guy we impeached. and then we followed HIM with a guy who ran the most corrupt administration of the 19th century. We’ve actually been in bad straits before as a nation. Believe it or not, other than my losing health insurance during the first reconciliation package, I’m moderately hopeful that we can hold out for two years, and then perhaps have generated so much disgust in the Republican brand that we pick up 3 senate seats.

Ulysses S Grant was *NOT* corrupt.

He was whitewater/travelgate/bengazi/etc’d by people who couldn’t stand that not only was he the General who won the war, but then as President he passed the Klan Act and sent the army out to kick their asses. The 19th century equivalent of gateway/gotnews/wnd published many thousands of pages of revisionist bullshit to tarnish his legacy.

I just hope Muslim-Americans know that a lot of us have their back. A violation of their rights and harassment of them is for all of us.

I have seen some women wearing headscarves, but not veiled.

What has upset me is seeing people acting like asses in the local Philadelphia area. Especially the universities - we have the incident at UPenn (though that apparently traced to Oklahoma) and also one at Villanova, which is nearby. Makes me start to wonder what their parents, teachers, and professors have taught them. (Though I also know from experience that groups of young males act like they have single digit IQs anyways. Which partially explains the successful comedy careers of Seth Rogan and Adam Sandler.)

Well, here’s one European who has no doubts about Trump:

Trump election: Juncker warns president may upset US ties with Europe

I have to wonder what Melania’s views on Eastern Europe being potentially taken over again by the Russians? Is she concerned about her homeland? Will she speak up?

re: #441 sandralhanlon

Yep. The lack of imagination. Except they actually fantastically believe they will be able to ethnically cleanse the United States of America in 2016.

Trump used them. His goals and his supporters goals are barely aligned.

I don’t know about that? Trump was raised by a white supremacist. Trump does not have actual plans to build camps because he’s just not a planner, but his supporters are going to drive out and kill as many people as they can. He will sit back and let it happen.
