And they seriously don’t think Trump will start a war? He’s obviously not paying attention to what’s going on in the South China Sea.

“Why is Trump hell-bent on keeping this a mystery?”
Just wild-cattin’ here, but is it possible that Drumpf might not have known?
“Don’t worry, boss, about where the money and the intel is coming from, you don’t want to know the details, but we’ve got this.”
Granted, this makes him a total incompetent, but what if he could truthfully answer. “Not to my knowledge, and I find the question insulting. I have the best people.”
Can this possibly be for real? Normally I’d just dismiss it as a hoax, but with this gang of morons nothing seems too far-fetched.

When I was a kid I saw Disney’s “Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar”. I’ve always wanted one as a pet. For some reason my dad said, “No.”

We’re basically get the Reagan years on steroids. An incompetent president who is showing signs of oncoming Alzheimer’s, a cabal of incompetent advisors who all have their own agendas to line their pockets, his party demanding that all the “injustices” of the previous Dem presidency be overturned, and a hyperpartisan base who views anybody who speaks against their Dear Leader as treasonous.
re: #24 Single-handed sailor
When I was a kid I saw Disney’s “Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar”. I’ve always wanted one as a pet. For some reason my dad said, “No.”
The place I live used to be a wild animal facility. My favorites were the big cats: they had a breeding pair of tigers, a jaguar, and a spayed cougar that was a pet. She was the size of a lioness, with the most gorgeous ticked coat. They took her to Lincoln-Mercury dealers for special events. She walked on a leash, and was fantastic. My husband and I always wanted cheetahs. We loved sight hounds (had salukis and an Italian Greyhound) and thought the cheetahs would be terrific. We even asked for pricing, hoping to set up a breeding area that was big enough and private enough for them to be happy. Used to love to go to the St. Louis zoo and walk around their cheetah breeding facility.
The male tiger was magnificent. His head was as big as a bushel basket. They had dug caves back into the hillside so that he and the female could have private dens. They were kept adjoining, but not together, except at breeding. Ah, for past glories!
Hey James, looks like Fox News decided not to run your fraudulent hit videos on inauguration protesters. Any comment? @JamesOKeefeIII

Per Charles P. Pierce:
The guy is talking about his “natural ability” as a president as though it’s something you can tell in advance and as though it’s tantamount to being able to hit a sand wedge. You can almost hear the spark gaps sizzling in his brain as he formulates the answer. The question, as always, to the newly astonished is: Did you listen to this guy on the stump? Every speech he ever gave was a jigsaw puzzle with all the corner pieces missing.
It feels like a bad sign for Russia to be minting a Trump coin.

A Russian metal working company has minted a sterling silver coin to commemorate President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, featuring Mr. Trump’s face and the slogan “In Trump we trust.”

“…All but five of the commemorative coins will be cast in silver, with the others in gold. They measure almost five inches in diameter and weigh about two pounds each, similar to coins made by the company featuring Putin and other notable Russians.”
Central Asian diplomats will buy up the supply to present to the Trump family as gifts.

In which Bannon watches the world burn.
LONDON — The Germans are angry. The Chinese are downright furious. Leaders of NATO are nervous, while their counterparts at the European Union are alarmed.
Just days before he is sworn into office, President-elect Donald J. Trump has again focused his penchant for unpredictable disruption on the rest of the world. His remarks in a string of discursive and sometimes contradictory interviews have escalated tensions with China while also infuriating allies and institutions critical to America’s traditional leadership of the West.

re: #52 retired cynic
Too many people in one spot.
And a big reason I think about the Valley of Mexico is because I’m seeing it in real time, from birth until probably my death. I grew up skiing in Eagle County, Colorado (where I now live) and I’m seeing the effects of what can happen when too many people show up to a really awesome spot.
And the Valley of Mexico was *really awesome* before the Industrial Revolution.

Sure. The Missions that the Jesuits set up ran all the way up the Rio Grande. Then they set up a string of them up the California coast. Sprinkled a few in places like San Antonio and Tucson. Pretty soon you’re bringing Jesus to the savages. Oh, and smallpox and Empire. And taking all their gold and silver. You just know El Dorado is out there somewhere.

As for the Cronulla riots, it was beyond disgraceful. Even the right-leaning Aussies I met were embarrassed over what happened on that beach:

I’ve decided to go to the march on Saturday in Houston but I don’t have an appropriate t-shirt, though I could whip out my sharpies and make one. Open to suggestions. I’m thinking of wearing a hijab.

Actual bobcat. LOL I was supposed to meet a friend at a happy hour - she was particularly insistent that I go that day after work - but I got a call from a rancher that a bobcat was caught in a coyote trap on his property and the trapper couldn’t be reached. I hauled ass out there, tangled with a very pissed off bobcat and released her, thankfully without injury to her… or me (though that was secondary - I was used to being somewhat mauled as a wildlife biologist). I tried to get out of the happy hour but my friend wouldn’t have it. I reluctantly went, even in my seriously disheveled and stinky state, to see the man sitting there at the table who would become my husband. Took him home with me that night and we were married 3 months later.
Over at Reddit’s /r/The_Donald they are all over the “Roger Stone polonium” story.
I see in a search on Google that all the usual suspects are on it too (and that Google AdSense is still funding them).

That part is the same as my own marriage, though I was forty-seven when we married.
That said, when we met on the Internet, it became apparent in a couple weeks we would marry. It was only the amount of time it took me to get from South Carolina to Oklahoma.
As the wingnuts continue to post at that Reddit article, they are getting crazier by the minute.
One reason to suspect the Democrats, namely the Obama regime of being behind this is that they’ve been pushing the meme of the “Russians hacking the election” which of course is complete BS but the Dems like that story better than admitting Obama was a horrible failure and Hillary was too crooked and unlike-able to win the election.
By poisoning Stone with Polonium the Democrats are pushing their “bad Russian” meme since the Russians have been accused of using this. It’s the sort of sick joke that the top Democrats would like.

My wife was helping a dating Website webmaster hunt down fake accounts (romance scammers, &c) by checking their information and finding anomalies in it.
She came across my account there (which I’d hardly ever used) during my homeless period in South Carolina. I’d updated my city, but failed to update my Zip Code, so she flagged it up then contacted me to see if I was some sort of scammer.
Not too long afterwards, I’d saved enough to buy a plane ticket from South Carolina to Kansas (one-way) where she picked me up. She thus did her part for veteran homelessness, by taking me in.

The writer of that USA Today piece was Melody Forbes, a woman who in the past has stated she benefited from Planned Parenthood care.
Today whigning in USA Today that she didn’t vote for Trump to kill Planned Parenthood.
Why is Melody Forbes an authority on government, other than Steve Forbes is rich?
I Voted for Trump, Not Against Planned Parenthood (goes to USA Today)
Oops, Melody is not married to Steve (that would be Adam /s)
She is just a middle manager type in Phoenix.
Such folk call liberals “low information voters.” Gaaaa.
I voted for Donald Trump because I wanted to see change in our country. One change I didn’t want to see was access to health care at Planned Parenthood blocked.
But Republican congressional leaders have already promised to do just that, with a provision to stop reimbursements for the health care Planned Parenthood provides.
Just like one in 5 women across the country, I went to Planned Parenthood here in Arizona in my 20s for health care. I was newly divorced, unemployed and uninsured, and I needed health services I could not otherwise afford.
These are services every woman needs at some point, and they are at risk. Vice President-elect Mike Pence and anti-women’s health members of Congress are pledging to attack Planned Parenthood and block patients from essential care, as they have threatened to do as many times as they could in last 10 years. The difference this time is that they think President-elect Trump, as a Republican, will sign the bill.
(more at USA Today)
And every bit of that information was known before she voted.

It would seem a growing number of Trump voters, who also voted for the whole Republican slate, seemed to think they got a line-item veto on the GOP platform.
My wife and I also like the same strange stuff on the Internet. Our favourite poem (which describes our relationship) came from USENet’s rec.humor.funny:
Love guppy
You mean all the world to me.
Without you I can’t be free.
You make me pant considerably.
You’re my love guppy.
You have the finest rosebud’s taste.
Without you my life is waste,
I’ll stick to you like Elmer’s paste.
You’re my love guppy.
I’d break through a citadel.
I’d fight with a raging bull,
Though winning would seem improbable.
You’re my love guppy.
My love’s as strong as the mid-ocean ridge.
You shine like the rainbow bridge
or like that light inside my fridge.
You’re my love guppy.
For you I’d consume haggis,
or lose the joys of Bacchus,
or live in sin with Mike Dukakis.
You’re my love guppy.
No time’s too long for me to wait.
For you, I’d fight against Fate,
though maybe you could lose some weight,
You’re my love guppy.
Without you, I’d be not whole,
I would have to sell my soul,
or gulp a quart of Tide-E-Bowl.
You’re my love guppy.
My passion is always mounting.
I’m like a geyser founting.
Well, maybe not, but who’s counting?
You’re my love guppy.
The love that is the more intense
always has the most silence,
like quiet bursts of flatulence.
You’re my love guppy.
I know that my love is true.
I know that you’ll love me too,
or I’ll hold my breath ‘till I turn blue
You’re my love guppy.
I’d not forget you if I tried.
You make me all warm inside.
My love’s as pure as Naugahyde.
You’re my love guppy.
Then I hear the words let slip
From betwixt impatient lips,
“I want to have a relationship.
You’re my love guppy.”

Hmmm. I ran for office (twice) in the reddest House district in the nation, and won both times. The second time against my town gun shop owner.
I consistently argue here for people to run for local offices, which is exactly how the Tea Party folk made their influence felt on the Republican Party.
I have already made my opposition known to my senators Deb Fischer and Ben Sasse (Fischer was early in the tank for Trump, Sasse is still opposing him but we’ll have to see on his votes coming up for Trump’s nominees), and my representative Adrian Smith, who ran unopposed for reëlection.
So I will ask you: Will you run for local office? The Democratic Party needs officials at all level of government, and it is school boards, town councils, and other such places where the rubber meets the road, and where state and national politicians get their training.

Well, I don’t know specifically what Mr. Johnson’s rules are about that sort of thing; it is up to him, though making him go through every single post does add an awful lot of work for him.
That said, I do try to be circumspect in my posts, because this isn’t my house.
I agree though about the whigning from the right about Mrs. Obama’s dress, and all the vile memes and screeds posted over the years about her.
As I said, I personally have no problem with Mrs. Trump’s choice of profession, even as First Lady. I do not find the photo offensive.

Unfortunately, while there is plenty of room here, and living here is quite inexpensive, because of how rural such places as mine are and how far everything is from everywhere else, liberals really aren’t interested in moving here.
Democrats here are left with trying to do the work inside our own house. For that we could use outside help, which we don’t get a lot of.
Since the Electoral College is not going to go away, the Democratic Party at the national level (in my uneducated opinion) really needs to step up its game at the state levels. Ceding all those electoral votes without a fight (and it will be a long fight) doesn’t seem like a viable strategy.
can’t disagree, but i think (and i don’t want to sound condescending) it might take a few of our like minded people to go there even if they wouldn’t like it there, to try and flip those counties.
really the EC must be tweaked a little because its (trumps term) obsolete

So those of us who do live here have to do the heavy lifting to convince our neighbours that liberals aren’t subversives, Democrats aren’t the enemy, &c.
I’ve noted before here what a heavy lift that is in my area. We have a local newspaper that reports on local issues, and a regional newspaper that is extremely conservative and circulates over the whole ninety thousand square mile Nebraska Panhandle and a good portion of eastern Wyoming.
We only have right wing radio stations and religious stations for radio news. We essentially have no Internet service, because it is so expensive (in my town the only Internet service is at the public library and my house). Television is FOX News. Cable service is unavailable here.
My town has a general store with limited products. The next store is sixteen miles away, and the next after that is sixty.
Folk who live in places like Los Angeles or Manhattan are not willingly going to move here even though it is considerably cheaper, because they would be unwilling to give up those things. Jobs might be useful as well. Unless your job is ranching or farming or related industries, there isn’t a whole lot here.
As I recall, there was once a Libertarian Party push to get a lot of people to move to New Hampshire to try to flip elections - New Hampshire is a whole lot more advanced than western Nebraska. The plan flopped.
I can imagine that living out on your own rural acreage makes it easy to consider yourself a Jeffersonian gentleman yeoman farmer, one who enters into contracts freely and needs no government to interfere in your choices of employment, insurance coverage or financial services.
And of course you feel that you need guns to defend yourself and your schoolchildren against ursine home invasions
Which is why it is easy for conservatives to demonize unions or labor legislation, government-regulated health care or banking. And don’t even get started on gun control.
It is going to take a lot to undo that sort of thinking and proselytizing.

Yup, it will take a lot.
Being “the liberal” in my village has shifted conversations here a little bit about liberals in general (though sometimes it’s like being a zoo exhibit). That gives my neighbours a real-life example that is in opposition to what people have heard about liberals since President Nixon’s administration.
I’m not out to turn everyone into atheists, spend the village into bankruptcy, &c. When I first moved here there were people who did not know that liberals joined the military and made a career of it.
I certainly am not going to flip a majority of the area by myself, but an awful lot of people around here do know me and are at least willing to listen to ideas different than they have heard all their lives - that is pretty much all I can ask.
As for protecting against ursine home invasions, no, but we still have mountain lions around town (the state has yet to give us the all clear about that). And as for guns, this is an area that attracts hunters, and the sheriff’s office is sixteen miles away and only has one car. If the deputy is on the other side of the county, he is over forty miles from my home.
I did run off apparent burglars a few years ago from the church across the street from my house with my shotgun and dog. I have no idea how long it would have taken the sheriff to get here. (There has been a problem with rural churches being robbed, precisely because police protections can be very far away.)

American public media generally have a nipple-free policy. You can show as much of the surrounding breast as you want, but NIPPLES ARE EVIL AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST and the mere sight of them DRIVE MEN TO COMMIT SINFUL ACTS.

More specifically, a no female nipples policy. They also tend to go after women who had mastectomies.
Someone on Tumblr (where they have a similar policy) created a bot to paste male nipples on photos of female breasts, to get past their AI system for that.
Europeans seem to have a more relaxed attitude towards nipples on TV: they can be seen in ad for body-care products or where nudity is part of the plot.

Since it’s been so warm lately, I’ve been doing stuff out in the garage. Put new paddles, scraper bar and belt on the snowblower, cleaned out the carb and it’s ready to go. Before winter I rotated the tires on our minivan. Jacked it all up and put stands on all four corners, then when I went to lift the car to remove the jack stands the jack wouldn’t go up. D’oh! Of course the fluid was low. So I want to repair it this winter and it’s leaking out of that little rod that goes up and down with the handle. I sprayed like 20 years of crap off of it with brake cleaner and when I do this I notice a hairline crack at a weld for one of the wheel housing. Double d’oh. Too much trouble for old craftsman unfortunately, I’ve had it 20+ years.

Just don’t get on Long Island: that is going to be sunk to create an artificial barrier reef…
Each year a group organizes a mass bike ride, modelled after the Critical Mass bike ride in San Francisco. In the SF ride, hundreds and thousands of bikes gather for the Friday evening commute, taking over the road and feeling safe in numbers.
On the Playa, women who want to enjoy the freedom to not wear a top (that men enjoy in ordinary society) gather together for a mass bike ride. There are many hundreds of them. What’s great as well is that many women who want that freedom but don’t feel safe — even at Burning Man, topless women will get enough unwanted attention to scare them away from it — get a chance to feel safe in the crowd. And there’s a fine party after that.
Uh, NSFW.

I have to agree with Anne Laurie that this from Josh Marshall is good:
… Presidents don’t validate what is and isn’t news. If you’re expecting them to, you’re doing it wrong. Almost nothing that is truly important about the work of a free press is damaged by moving the press office across the street.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that these things are not important or that all these threats aren’t a very bad sign. It is vastly preferable to have a President who believes in or at least respects American and democratic values. But let’s get real: we don’t or won’t as of Friday. Trump is a would-be authoritarian and a bully. He’s surrounded by mediocrities who owe all to him and feel validated by enabling his endless transgressions. Of course, he’s doing these things. We know Trump’s MO. He will bully people until they’re cowed and humiliated and obedient. He’ll threaten to kick the reporters out of the White House and then either cut a ‘deal’ or make some big to-do about ‘allowing’ the reporters to stay. These are all threats and mind games meant not so much to cow the press as make them think Trump is continually taking things away from them and that they need to make him stop.
They don’t need to. That access isn’t necessary to do their jobs. And bargaining over baubles of access which are of little consequence is not compatible with doing their job. Access can provide insight and understanding. But it’s almost never where the good stuff comes from. Journalists unearth factual information and report it. If Trump wants to turn America into strong man state, journalists should cover that story rather than begging Trump not to be who he is. America isn’t Russia. And I don’t think he can change us into Russia. So unless and until we see publications shut down and journalists arrested or disappeared, let’s have a little more confidence in our values and our history and our country…
Trump wants to bully the press and profit off the presidency. He’s told us this clearly in his own words. We need to accept the reality of both. The press should cover him on that basis, as a coward and a crook. The big corporate media organizations may not be able to use those words, I understand, but they should employ that prism. The truth is that his threats against the press to date are ones it is best to laugh at. If Trump should take some un- or extra-constitutional actions, we will deal with that when it happens. I doubt he will or can. But I won’t obsess about it in advance. Journalists should be unbowed and aggressive and with a sense of humor until something happens to prevent them from doing so. Trump is a punk and a bully. People who don’t surrender up their dignity to him unhinge him…
Edit: And if you don’t feel like going and reading the other document, this to me is the most important line:
The answer to attacks on journalism is always more journalism.

Great interview with Lionel Richie
Beautiful quote:
They also touched on Richie’s childhood in Tuskegee, Alabama, a town where The Tuskegee Airmen were heroes who fought for their country in WWII but returned home unable to vote. Richie, 66, got emotional telling the story of how as a 9-year old, he and his father went to Montgomery, Ala., and Richie unwittingly drank from a fountain marked For Whites Only. Some white men confronted his father, who grabbed Richie and ran off. Years later, Richie challenged his father, asking why he didn’t stay and fight. His dad simply answered, “I had a choice: to be a man or be a father.”
I’d argue his father managed to do both.
I had met with Maloney and two other Alexandria residents — business owner Dylan Raycroft and lawyer Jessica Killeen — to hear them discuss ways to protest Spencer’s mission. The stated goals of some “alt-right” factions include “nonviolent ethnic cleansing” and restoration of “white culture” in a whites-only homeland.“I’ve never been a political activist, just a businessman trying to be a part of the community the way normal people do,” said Raycroft, who owns a chimney sweep company in Alexandria. But he said the presence of Spencer in the neighborhood “crosses a line that can’t be ignored. There comes a point when you just have to say, ‘Enough is enough.’ ”

Devos has never set foot in a public school, and wouldn’t know what’s taught in a science classroom (or what would be proper in such a classroom).
Today, we’ve got Price up for HHS. He’s more of the same from Trump. Ideologues who are intent on gutting the departments they look to run. They’re all about rolling back rights, programs, and sabotaging the work done.
Obamacare/ACA is the focal point of GOP hatred, because it achieved something despite GOP efforts to sabotage for the past 7 years. Not only is it popular, but it’s essential to providing health coverage for millions, reducing medically induced bankruptcies for patients and hospitals alike, and the uninsured rate would be lower still had the GOP expanded Medicaid even further. GOP dominated states are those with the highest levels of uninsureds, and would have had the most to gain from Medicaid expansion - but they’ve stood against this. Texas has the highest uninsured rate at 16%, followed by right wing bastions: GA, AK, AZ, and FL. 13% each.
National average is: 9%. NJ is at 8%. KY got their rate down to 6%, which is on par with NY. MA has 4%. (all figures are from KFF)
Those percentage points represent millions of people nationally who are without insurance. Had Texas expanded Medicaid, we’d be looking at a significantly lower uninsured rate in the state, and the state’s health care providers would be in a better position financially.
None of this matters, because the GOP thinks that requiring health insurance or creating marketplaces or expanding Medicaid is somehow unconstitutional or otherwise against the rights of man. It infringes on liberty, which is a BS argument, considering the Constitution requires Congress to provide for the general welfare, and nothing is more important to the general welfare of the nation than the health of its citizens. The GOP purposefully ignore the Constitution when it suits them and their obligations to act. We see it time and again.

Not only is it popular, but it’s essential to providing health coverage for millions, reducing medically induced bankruptcies for patients and hospitals alike, and the uninsured rate would be lower still had the GOP expanded Medicaid even further. GOP dominated states are those with the highest levels of uninsureds, and would have had the most to gain from Medicaid expansion - but they’ve stood against this. Texas has the highest uninsured rate at 16%, followed by right wing bastions: GA, AK, AZ, and FL. 13% each.
National average is: 9%. NJ is at 8%. KY got their rate down to 6%, which is on par with NY. MA has 4%. (all figures are from KFF)
Those percentage points represent millions of people nationally who are without insurance. Had Texas expanded Medicaid, we’d be looking at a significantly lower uninsured rate in the state, and the state’s health care providers would be in a better position financially.
None of this matters, because the GOP thinks that requiring health insurance or creating marketplaces or expanding Medicaid is somehow unconstitutional or otherwise against the rights of man. It infringes on liberty, which is a BS argument, considering the Constitution requires Congress to provide for the general welfare, and nothing is more important to the general welfare of the nation than the health of its citizens. The GOP purposefully ignore the Constitution when it suits them and their obligations to act. We see it time and again.
I expect Price will be. I’ve actually been really impressed with the Dems handling of the cabinet picks thus far.

Yesterday, Devos showed that she’s unqualified to be Education Secretary. She’s an anti-science nut whose “qualification” rests on her intention to gut the federal education department and push school choice even as 90% of all Americans are educated in public schools. Devos has never set foot in a public school, and wouldn’t know what’s taught in a science classroom (or what would be proper in such a classroom).

What then of the companies all cutting jobs and closing stores, from Lowe’s to Penny’s, Walmart and other Dept stores @NickTimiraos @owillis
— lawhawk (@lawhawk) January 18, 2017
Guess those are all Obama’s fault. Department stores are shedding jobs, including Walmart and Target. We’re not just talking seasonal jobs being cut, but full time jobs as these companies find that online sales are eating into brick and mortar store sales.
Sears is exhibit A of how a company is run into the ground to benefit ownership.
JC Penney is also flailing about with a schizophrenic business model and sales approach. But even companies that have had solid sales in the past are hurting - including Kohls, Target, and Walmart. Higher end department stores aren’t immune either, though there you’ve got people who are willing to pay a premium for premium service. Macys is in the middle - not high-end enough to fight for premium sales and not cut rate enough to compete with Kohls. Found that Macys does have good idea in their online purchase-store pick-up, and it’s executed well too. That might be a good model, but it also means that store footprints are likely to shrink.
Macys has colocated their off-brand store (competing against TJMaxx/Homegoods/Marshalls) in one of their regular department stores, because they’re finding that people want to hunt for bargains, rather than get coupons that can’t be used on any items that are on sale (unlike say Kohls, where the coupons apply to nearly everything).

“Once I said something about Ayatollah Khomeini,” the real estate agent recalled of the moment. “I legitimately feel like he is ‘blank’ and I said it, and then I realized, Hmm, I come from a terrorist nation, they kill people for a lot less, so I called the producers and said, ‘You know that little thing I said about Khomeini? Maybe we can — well, I don’t want to die because there are Muslim extremists that will be offended.’ So, they cut that out.”
Newsflash you Bibi-loving Iranian Milo-wannabe: you’re NOT the only person who has cursed Khomeini. Why would Muslim extremists go after you for cursing Khomeini when majority of Muslim extremists do so on a regular basis? This guy clearly has no clue about Salafis AT ALL.

re: #109 allegro
I’ve decided to go to the march on Saturday in Houston but I don’t have an appropriate t-shirt, though I could whip out my sharpies and make one. Open to suggestions. I’m thinking of wearing a hijab. CL can you describe how to wrap/tie it? Sounds dumb probly, but it doesn’t look like it’s just over the head with the ends tossed over the shoulders.
Sorry, Allegro, just saw this.
On the march site they mentioned black t-shirts. I’m wearing my usual uppity Texas redhead t-shirt, “Women Are Strong As Hell.” And my pink cowboy boots, they’re comfortable enough.
Just come as yourself. Really. Your presence is what’s important.

Risk pools. So much of health is beyond the control of the individual, whether it’s the stochastic nature of cancer, or the heritable nature of things like hypertension, lipid metabolism, obesity, etc.

A passport? Where does he plan to fly? While there are numerous countries with which the US does not have an extradition treaty, most of the list is composed of countries one does not put on their list of holiday destinations. And many (Cuba, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, etc) would happily turn Snowden’s over as part of an agreement for more favorable status.

re: #386 Belafon

The backlash has been off the charts for a café in Azle.
The reaction comes after the owner posted a Facebook message designed to bring in a crowd on Martin Luther King Day. But the message didn’t come out that way. In fact, it has sparked complaints of outright racism.
Sabrina Pyle owns Azle Café in Tarrant County. She admits that Monday wasn’t her best day.
“Yesterday I came up with this incredible, ingenious idea for what I thought would bring people in for lunch,” Pyle said.
She quickly learned from a friend that Monday’s special of chicken and waffles with a side of watermelon wasn’t such a good idea.
re: #384 Eclectic Cyborg
Maybe he wants to go to brazil to see his old buddy Greenwald?
Brazil is not on the non-extradition list. And even if it was, there’s no non-stop flights between Russia and Brazil, so wherever he landed, he’d have to basically stay prisoner on the plane for however long the layover was. The moment he stepped off, he’d be on the sovereign soil of whatever country he landed in and thus could be arrested.

re: #466 Backwoods_Sleuth
Trump lies/falls for fake BS about bikers coming to his inauguration. Spicer claims DC hotels are booked solid (they aren’t, and are jacking up prices in any event) - and Kayak claims 71% of rooms are taken - meaning about 29% are still available in DC.
That’s actually below what the hotel occupancy rate has been for DC, and that suggests people are actually staying away as a result of his inauguration. For 2015, the rate was 77.3%
Just as a comparison, an average week in NYC sees about 80+% of rooms occupied (for 2014, 89% were occupied).

The root cause of this destructive impulse is the slow and partial progress that had been made toward achieving some of the stated ideals of western civilization.
