re: #480 HappyWarrior
The Women’s Convention set up by the organizers of this past winter’s march in Detroit. Sanders does have a pro choice record but they A) should have invited a woman especially a young one and B) He is patronizing on this issue.
From the previous thread.
Thanks for the info.
It’s not my place to judge why the women who organised the Women’s March on Washington extended that invitation and honour to Senator Sanders. Perhaps they thought they could engage him on the issue of Planned Parenthood or women’s reproductive rights in general.
Perhaps they think that women can’t afford to abandon potential allies.
The Hill article cites them as saying he is a powerful ally in the Senate.
I do know about his “establishment” statement over Planned Parenthood, which I thought was at best ill-informed of the senator. An apology, or a statement he’s learned more about the organisation and knows better now, would be nice.
As far as I can tell, Planned Parenthood has never been an “establishment” organisation, unless that means they are generally supported by the Democratic Party.

There are a lot of really ugly chickens coming home to roost for these big social media platforms.
A lot of smart academics and journalists have been systematically digging into the real-world effects of their laissez-faire policies & procedures, and the studies that are going to surface in the next year or so are going to rock their worlds.
Of course, I thought that was going to be the case when “OutFoxed” came out back in the ’00s, and that turned out to be a big nothingburger, because nobody could be arsed to try to regulate what was clearly, by that point, nothing more than a toxic propaganda outfit.

I guess what rubs a lot of people the wrong way is they made him the keynote speaker not just any speaker. And by establishment, he meant within the Democratic Party. May well be true but it was still a very tone deaf thing to say especially given that they had threats to their funding from every last Republican candidate. I don’t have a problem with Sanders being invited. I can see why women would have a problem with him being keynote though when he’s shown a lot of insensitivity to issues women deem important.

Comment comes from a continuation of the previous thread.
I finished with the Baldwin and Buckley debate that was in a YouTube posted by Joe Bacon.
Buckley really is a great study in character speech mannerisms and body movements if you ever need to act like a pompous ass. I am now thinking many actors that have had such a role watched this debate.
And to sum up Buckley’s argument: Blacks are their own worst enemy.
And this debate was in 1965.
52 damn years…and it is all the same. Pledge allegiance to the flag. Stand for the National Anthem. All the same.
Blacks…you must stand in line the way we want you too.
And if you don’t and have to pay a price, you have done it to yourselves. Why? You did not follow the fashion and dictates of not White Supremacy, but of the majority. See how simple it all is?
All the damn…same.
And fuck William Buckley and the National Review.
52 damn years later and they are still the same. Protective of their power and capable of verbiage that is nothing but an eloquent excuse for being assholes to other humans.
And then their is something like Puerto Rico. I think Trump said they have in a way not been able to fend for themselves, they haven’t made their island what it could be if they just had drive. And they don’t have the money they owe…must be because they are lazy.
William Buckley would be so proud.

Yeah I think Michelle would be a great choice too. It’s their choice but a lot of women I know are quite unhappy with the decision even those who say they like Sanders. Anyhow, my vibe is I don’t think Sanders will be the nom in 2020 or do as well. I think he’s alienated a lot of people.

I hope we are not going to wait too long for that apology/statement. He made the initial comment for a reason. And that was to play to his base. They are not all that concerned about Planned Parenthood. I see it for two reasons. His base does not see a need for PP, and in Bernie world, insurance for all is coming once Bernie or someone like him becomes president so there will be no need for PP.
So until that glorious day comes, PP is established because they are a part of the current political system as they get donations and campaign for established candidates (Hillary Clinton, etc.). And forget the practical thinking of asking what are women going to do without PP? Wait for the day insurance for all is coming. It won’t be long will it?

That religiosity problem being the electorate. Since they are religious, they will vote the way their religious leaders tell them to. “That politician supports abortion rights. If you vote for him, you imperil your soul.” It is pretty easy for a group of religious leaders (cough cough Catholics, Evangelicals) to manipulate people into voting against their interests in the tens of millions.
I’m not sure how to address it. A politician running as an atheist is almost certainly a dead letter in an election. There is a reason only two of us are in office in my state at any level of government, and Sen. Ernie Chambers is term-limited. (Atheists appear to be the largest minority without representation in government, and almost universally acceptable to discriminate against.)
It is noteworthy that Rep. Pete Stark came out as an atheist in very liberal California. It is more noteworthy he did that after he retired from Congress. Even there apparently saying you’re an atheist would doom your candidacy.
If it won’t work in California, it pretty much won’t work anywhere else in the nation.

re: #77 Anymouse 🌹
The reason I wrote “religiosity” and not “religious” is differentiate between the large fraction of the electorate who may (nominally or really) hold religious views, and those who want to make religious views into political action.
I’m not at all saying that any belief in god(s) rules out someone from voting or holding office.
But we see two instances today of religious beliefs - one leading to UNESCO decision, the other the defining of “life” - that are directly the result of years of political activity by fundamentalists in this country.
Where are the politicians who know that the religious right are in fact in error, in voicing any argument about the origins of these decisions.
Of course there will be some leaders who decry the HHS decision because it’s an attempt to eliminate abortions. But will these same leaders take on the ideological basis of this HHS decision?

Because some men protect other men, even when knowing it is wrong. Due to the fantasy possibly. Also because of the power.

Cops: Texas Tech student was pulled over in stolen gun case before officer’s killing
Police have now confirmed that accused cop killer and yokel rich boy Hollis Daniels had brought the gun into the police station himself before he used it to murder Officer Floyd East. Worse, Lubbock police (a different department) had stopped Daniels several hours earlier because of a report that he had stolen a gun and made terroristic threats. They decided they lacked probable cause to search his car or detain him, and he was let go.

Incredible but true.
Cops: Texas Tech student was pulled over in stolen gun case before officer’s killingPolice have now confirmed that accused cop killer and yokel rich boy Hollis Daniels had brought the gun into the police station himself before he used it to murder Officer Floyd East. Worse, Lubbock police (a different department) had stopped Daniels several hours earlier because of a report that he had stolen a gun and made terroristic threats. They decided they lacked probable cause to search his car or detain him, and he was let go. His room mate and his mother then called police about his threatening behavior, which prompted the check at his dorm room.
This is the fuck up of all fuck ups.
Cops allowing white privilege got another cop killed.

We must also consider that it is a fantasy for a lot of men. And fantasies often turn to realities if you have the power and the backing to make the jump without penalty.
Because some men protect other men, even when knowing it is wrong. Due to the fantasy possibly. Also because of the power.

Crews knew that, as a black man, he would have been the one to go to jail had he retaliated right there and he sure as fuck couldn’t go public before Weinstein blew up, because he would have been blackballed.
When something like that happens to a (nice) guy like Crews and he has to basically brush it off in order to stay out of jail and to keep working, shit’s all fucked up.

re: #77 Anymouse 🌹
That religiosity problem being the electorate. Since they are religious, they will vote the way their religious leaders tell them to. “That politician supports abortion rights. If you vote for him, you imperil your soul.” It is pretty easy for a group of religious leaders (cough cough Catholics, Evangelicals) to manipulate people into voting against their interests in the tens of millions.
I’m not sure how to address it. A politician running as an atheist is almost certainly a dead letter in an election. There is a reason only two of us are in office in my state at any level of government, and Sen. Ernie Chambers is term-limited. (Atheists appear to be the largest minority without representation in government, and almost universally acceptable to discriminate against.)
It is noteworthy that Rep. Pete Stark came out as an atheist in very liberal California. It is more noteworthy he did that after he retired from Congress. Even there apparently saying you’re an atheist would doom your candidacy.
If it won’t work in California, it pretty much won’t work anywhere else in the nation.
Thing about Catholics though. They very often go in the other direction from the dictates of the church. I know, I was one and was schooled as one. It is a fairly loose religion and so there is not that march to the polls to do what the church says to do.
Is that hypocritical? I let others be the judge.
I am no longer practicing, but I will say there is no way you can be educated by the church to not be influenced by some of the better aspects later in your life. And there are good aspects. I look at them as human and practical.
But it too is politics and even within the church there are fights over the politics.
Many members attend and practice for the spirituality and skip the politics. That is why you see someone like now-passed Catholic Senator Ted Kennedy that stood up for something as liberal as abortion and birth control. Tim Kaine would be another. I don’t think you can find many such examples in the more fundamental Senate members.
I guess I just want to make sure you understand that not every Catholic is a robot. There may be degrees too.
I may think Catholics are more liberal and less robotic in following their religion than say Evangelicals. But I will not say I have any proof of it, just a feeling.
Boiled down; not everyone fits in a box. You might try some cough syrup.

I don’t know what defense his family will put up, but I do know that Lubbock prosecutors are no match for the high powered big city team the Daniels clan can hire to try to get him off, or at least keep him off death row.

Haynes’s nickname, “Racehorse,” was probably worth a couple of jury votes by itself.

re: #80 freetoken
The reason I wrote “religiosity” and not “religious” is differentiate between the large fraction of the electorate who may (nominally or really) hold religious views, and those who want to make religious views into political action.
I don’t see a difference between a politician who runs to make his or her religious views into political actions, and a voter who says “that’s what I believe too, so I will vote for that person.”
For example, there are many anti-abortion politicians. They universally hold their view based on religious positions. Single-issue voters who vote for them are voting for them because of the politician’s religious position.
I would compare that to Trump and his ardent supporters. Trump ran on an explicitly racist platform. A lot of his supporters thought “that’s what I want too” and pulled the lever for him. I see no difference.
I’m not at all saying that any belief in god(s) rules out someone from voting or holding office.
However, repeated polling of the electorate indicates the majority of voters (including liberals) think so.
But we see two instances today of religious beliefs - one leading to UNESCO decision, …
See my comments above … a law passed during the Bush administration required that decision. Cutting off funding for UNESCO occurred during the Obama Administration based on the same law. The law was passed for bigoted (and possibly religious) reasons, but that is the law on the books.
… the other the defining of “life” - that are directly the result of years of political activity by fundamentalists in this country.
And they will keep trying. Even Mississippi voters rejected a so-called “personhood” amendment.
That is also a good way to paint your opponents, in the same way opposing laws restricting porn gets you painted as “pro-porn” and drives out the religious voters.
It doesn’t make any difference whether a person says “I am a regular church goer” or “well, I don’t believe in all that organised religion stuff” - they are still religious, and many religious voters will put their religion over other issues.
That makes it very hard for non-Christians to hold office. It makes it difficult to support all religions as a politician by favouring none-how many voters, even those who claim not to be church goers-still hate “liberals” for “taking prayer out of school?”
Christopher Hitchens noted that “religion poisons everything.” All a politician has to do is paint themselves as the “religious” candidate and that’s it.
It doesn’t matter how good a guy Doug Jones (D) is in Alabama. It doesn’t matter how little Roy Moore (R) cares about the law. There is a reason he was reëlected to the Alabama Supreme Court after he was removed: It was precisely because he plays the religion card so well.
The voters simply pull the lever for the guy they perceive is most religious, regardless of his behaviour or that of his opponent.

Leaving aside the likelihood of violence against said drivers, do they not think that people would have been commandeering the vehicles to get supplies moving? Do they not think (and this is of course rhetorical) that there would be a major outcry from relief groups on the ground about said strike?

Republicans don’t think, and have no connection to reality. They will just make up fairy tales of unions causing trouble for the PR relief effort because that is a politically useful story for team (R). Were he still here, DF could easily have given precisely this explanation (without the editorializing) and defended it as helping team (R) to win.

From the NYT “Reporter’s Notebook” today. If you don’t have a catch in your throat at the end of this, your last name is probably Trump:
By JOHN BRANCHOCT. 11, 2017
NOVATO, Calif. — I was on the sideline of a soccer field two Saturdays ago, watching my 12-year-old daughter and her Novato teammates. I don’t remember much about that game, but Novato won, and one of the goals was scored by the smallest girl on the team, a quick and feisty forward who wears a long ponytail and jersey No. 8. We whooped and cheered her name. I found out later that her parents weren’t there that afternoon. They were in Las Vegas for a getaway weekend.
About 36 hours later, I was on my way to Las Vegas myself, rushing to join my New York Times colleagues to cover the latest mass shooting, maybe bigger than them all. I hadn’t covered one of them since 1999, when I was in the wrong place at the right time and rushed into the aftermath of Columbine.
A colleague of mine and I checked into a massive suite at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, 11 floors directly below that of the shooter. It had the same view of the concert ground across the Strip, where investigators in the daylight were picking through the carnage of the night before. That was about when my wife sent me a text. That little soccer player’s mom was at the concert the night before, she said. She’s missing.
But Stacee Etcheber was not my story. The gunman was. I spent a week mostly about 100 feet below where the shooter committed mass murder, trying to solve the mystery of what he’d done. I talked to people, followed every lead and wrote stories. It’s what reporters do. It was a news story, as horrific as they come, and we’re trained to keep our emotional distance from the things that we cover.
Late that night, I stood in front of the window, the same one that a madman broke 11 floors above and used as a perch to shoot hundreds of people he did not know. The body count was on its way to 58. I thought about home.
Stacee’s family soon announced that she died. My wife and I didn’t really know Stacee much — obviously not well enough to notice that she was not among the few dozen people at a rec-level girls’ soccer game. But some of our closest friends were dear friends of hers, and our town is small enough that there was probably no more than two degrees of separation to the family.
My family was among the hundreds of people, friends and strangers, who crowded onto the grounds of an elementary school and held candles aloft during the vigil. My daughter was one of the dozens of kids who solemnly held roses in her honor, and she hugged her classmate and teammate when it ended. She and a couple of friends made a cake and delivered it to the Etchebers’ house the next day.
Orange was Stacee’s favorite color, and on Friday, after people bought as much orange ribbon as they could find at all the local craft stores, an army tied ribbons all around town, from the trees on downtown’s Grant Avenue to the posts in front of Pioneer Park. My wife and her friends tied them around the trees in front of the middle school where Stacee’s daughter goes to school, along with mine.
I missed it all. I was as close to the site of the shooting as you could get, and yet felt fully disconnected from the effect of the tragedy. One night I walked to the memorial that sprang up in the median of South Las Vegas Boulevard, the kind of now-familiar post-shooting memorial that I saw at Columbine almost two decades before, with balloons and flowers and candles. I found a photo of Stacee that had been placed in the middle of it all, and took a picture and sent it home.
In Las Vegas, Stacee was just one in a crowd, part of a list. But she and her family were all anyone talked or thought about back in Novato, and that is where I got my news. I heard that Stacee’s husband, a San Francisco police officer, was running with Stacee through the barrage of gunfire when he stopped to help someone; he told his wife to go on and never saw her alive again. I heard that television news trucks were parked in front of the house. I heard stories of friends pulling over in their cars to cry at the weight and nearness of it all. There were beautiful and crushingly sad Facebook posts in Stacee’s honor, the kind you see after every tragedy, except these were written by people I knew well.
I heard my wife, who grew up in a nearby town, tell me that she had never been more proud to call Novato home.
I checked out of that Mandalay Bay suite on Saturday morning, excused from reporting duties, and flew home in the hopes of making my daughter’s soccer game. I found the red rose from the vigil, starting to fade and wilt, in a vase on the kitchen counter. When we got to the game, we and the other parents were somewhat surprised to see Stacee’s husband and extended family there, too. Warming up with the girls was No. 8, with her long ponytail.
We all wore orange ribbons, attached by safety pins, including the girls on both teams. The Novato team wore orange armbands with the initials “S.E.” Before kickoff, both squads came across the field to the spectator side and lined up in straight lines. Our team’s coach asked the parents to stand for 30 seconds of silence. And then two of the league’s better teams played a rather meaningless soccer game, only this one felt about as meaningful as anything I’ve ever watched.
And it was late in the second half when the ball suddenly swung from one end to the other, and Stacee’s daughter gave chase through three retreating opponents and beat them all to the ball. And in one blink-and-you-missed-it moment, she booted the ball into the corner of the net for what held on as the winning goal.
Her teammates chased her and swarmed her, and they and she looked as free and happy as girls can be on a sunny fall Saturday afternoon with their friends. The parents jumped and cheered as loudly as I’ve heard parents cheer at a kids’ soccer game. Behind my sunglasses, I was bawling. It was the first time I’d cried all week.
President Hatch would get on well with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip since he isn’t far from the same age.

re: #154 TedStriker
But, that’s the thing; Zinke’s not a flag officer, he’s not even in the fucking military. He’s a civilian Cabinet secretary, apparently with delusions of grandeur.
Flag officers in the military have earned a few perqs, and that flag business is not completely insane once you realize it may be useful to have quick ways to find commanders if the shit hits the fan (especially unexpectedly).
Meanwhile Zinke’s only claim to fame is that he pleasured old man t**** better than any other candidate for Interior.

The fact that the Curia is now making its peace with Fascism shows that the Vatican trusts the new political realities far more than did the former liberal democracy with which it could not come to terms. …The fact that the Catholic Church has come to an agreement with Fascist Italy …proves beyond doubt that the Fascist world of ideas is closer to Christianity than those of Jewish liberalism or even atheistic Marxism…By its decision to carry out the political and moral cleansing of our public life, the Government is creating and securing the conditions for a really deep and inner religious life. The advantages for the individual which may be derived from compromises with atheistic organizations do not compare in any way with the consequences which are visible in the destruction of our common religious and ethical values. The national Government sees in both Christian denominations the most important factor for the maintenance of our society. …

I’m re-watching the Mythbusters episode where they fired a ping-pong ball out of an air cannon at 1100 mph and through a wooden paddle. It reminds me of the days when I would argue with 9/11 Twoofer nuts about how the harder material doesn’t always win, if the softer material has enough velocity behind it. It’s also spectacular and slightly disturbing to see that little orange plastic ball traveling at Mach 1.5.

Facebook takes down data and thousands of posts, obscuring reach of Russian disinformation
Social media analyst Jonathan Albright got a call from Facebook the day after he published research last week showing that the reach of the Russian disinformation campaign was almost certainly larger than the company had disclosed. While the company had said 10 million people read Russian-bought ads, Albright had data suggesting that the audience was at least double that — and maybe much more — if ordinary free Facebook posts were measured as well.
Never again would he or any other researcher be able to run the kind of analysis he had done just days earlier. “This is public interest data,” Albright said Wednesday, expressing frustration that such a rich trove of information had disappeared — or at least moved somewhere the public can’t see it. “This data allowed us to at least reconstruct some of the pieces of the puzzle. Not everything, but it allowed us to make sense of some of this thing.” Facebook does not dispute it removed the posts, but it offers a different explanation of what happened. The company says it has merely corrected a “bug” that allowed Albright, who is research director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, to access information he never should have been able to find in the first place.
The Rude Pundit on the recent Hannity-t**** interview does not disappoint:rudepundit.blogspot.com
What finally did it for Trump is what always does the trick. Hannity brought up potential Russian interference in the election, which gave Trump some brief rage wood. That made Trump flashback to his glory day. “This was an excuse that was used by the Democrats. An excuse for losing an election that frankly they should have won, because winning the Electoral College is so easy for Democrats,” Trump whispered, starting to shake a bit as Hannity bore down, sucking like a Hoover set on deep pile. “They start off with three major states. To win the electoral college for a Democrat, it’s almost like a given. That is why people said you cannot get to 270. We got to 306.”

The Republican party is the party of rich old men being able to rape and pillage as they please. The only reason they are bitching about Weinstein is because he was caught and is a class traitor (i.e., a (D) donor).
