It’s a constant fight to retain the social/economic gains made in the name of socialism even in SK. The province has leaned right for the past 30 yrs in the rural areas, & Regina has been invaded by AB conservatives since oil has become our big economic driver.
We also have a small but vocal group of pro-life assholes who hold gatherings so they can yell at people. I’m sorry you had to go through that shit.
You don’t need to be sorry, that wasn’t your fault. It was only one incident in a very pleasant trip. Regina is a very diverse and beautiful city; 13-10, will go again.

On Oct. 30, 2017, the U.S. government confirmed that it had launched a mission in an undisclosed location in Libya to apprehend Mustafa Al Imam in connection with the Benghazi incident. At that time, the U.S. Justice Department said that American authorities were transporting Al Imam, a Libyan national who it said was approximately 46 years old, back to the United States to stand trial.

The place doesn’t look like much from the outside, and it’s rather small on the inside. My wife and I arrived right between the normal lunch and dinner hours, so we had the whole place to ourselves. The food and service were superb.

The fence my dad made with wood, PVC, and some of the little decorative fence pieces on top.

Twitter Suspended Me for Trolling White Supremacists
I tweeted what was intended as satire of a festering right-wing panic over Antifa allegedly planning violence on November 4. It got weird from there.
vice.com
Twitter’s “safety” system appears to be mostly based on a combination of keywords and frequency of reports, so if a group of extremely alpha gamergate types decide they don’t like someone, all they need to do is wait to see the right word and then coordinate a mass-reporting.
In my case, I decided to mock festering panic over an exceedingly fake Civil War plot for which thousands of FOX News grandparents may, at this very moment, be boarding up their windows in panicked preparation. Right wingers have a predilection for fearing Antifa, despite the fact that they only seem to show up at neo-Nazi rallies and to protest police brutality. Anyone with a single crease in their brain could see that my post was satire, but alas, the internet has no shortage of morons, and the tweet was apparently reported into oblivion.
The ensuing suspension was so thorough that my work account was axed for using the same phone number. (I reached out to Twitter for comment in connection with this story, but had yet to hear back at the time of publication.)If you doubt the utter gullibility of the people I’m referencing, look no further than this article from the Gateway Pundit, which breathlessly reported the obvious parody, after it was tweeted again by someone else, as factual news. (This is a “publication” that at least at one point had White House press credentials, by the way.) I should qualify here that while I have no love whatsoever for fascists, I am neither the president, the chairman, nor the CEO of Antifa. Either the author of the aforementioned piece was cynically using the joke to stoke the fears of elderly conservatives, or else he is just a fucking idiot.
People have screamed for years about the weird shit Twitter inexplicably tolerates, chiefly the ability of coordinated hate mobs to drive people off of the site. But if you weren’t familiar with my account before, all I can say is that it was significantly less toxic than that of the American Nazi Party. I may have poked fun at the Scaramucci Post’s editorial strategy or Mike Huckabee’s inconceivably bad attempts at jokes. But weren’t those jabs less worthy of punishment than say, calling for America to return to an all-white ethno-state?
Maybe it’s just me.

Therefore, we have wonderful news, and it is that MSNBC’s Katy Tur and her sexxxy man friend Tony Dokoupil made an honest man and lady out of each other this weekend in Utah. (Picture above! What a dress! Editrix Rebecca would like to point out that all the best bride women people wear red!) They eloped, because that is what cool kids do, and Page Six reports that they did it in the most remote, out-of-the-way spot they could find, where Obamaphones don’t work and nobody can hear Donald Trump yelling, “Something is happening, Katy!

Lee frequently threw his soldiers into hopeless bloody attacks, of which Pickett’s Charge is only the most famous example, bleeding the Confederacy dry of its limited manpower. If you check the 1860 census, the 11 states that would make up the Confederacy only had a little over one million white men between the ages of 15-40. Not only did the free Union states have about four times that number, the Union could also augment its total with European immigrants, and eventually arming African-Americans from both the North and the South.
It’s officially 12:01 on November 1. That means the War on Christmas starts now, right?

fucking wingnuts are already coming up with crazy, tortured defenses for the middle class tax increase the gop seems to be writing into its tax “reform” ripoff:
The SALT deduction (State Sales tax) elimination is a good thing.
It pushes voters in a state to demand their state stop or even lower their local sales taxes.
I agree that the Federal Government should NOT reimburse States that practice abusive tax increases on their constitutents.
For the past 20 years, California gradually increased taxes telling the constituents that is for infrastructure renovations.
Well, nothing happened, a road patch here and there, but in an earthquake, the bridges will be destroyed, because there was no retrofitting.
What is California doing with more money robbed from taxpayers? Funds the illegal aliens and their children, even PAYS legal assistance for them.
It is a scandal! So yes, I agree that the Federal Government stop financing abusive regimes like California Government.

When I first started posting, there was still a fairly large Israeli contingent who favored ethnic cleansing of the occupied territories under the rubric of “Transfer”. This was during Charles’ so called “purge” of right wing radicals. I think I posted that to Ben Hur.
In any case, things were chaotic during that time. Charles was calling Bullshit on the climate deniers and the right-wing radical bigots in the US and Europe and their enablers on this board. Their attacks on him for modifying his position on what was appropriate for posting on LGF was just brutal. Some of those people I miss, like Occasional Reader, Reine de Tout (although I hear she has gone full Drumpfenstien), and Ed, who had gotten drunk in pretty much every town in Texas and was a whiz with the weather. Others I surely don’t, like Mandy Manners, one of the Originals, who just became toxic, and Tax Free Killer, who was just as cray-cray as any Freeper.
Things change, often for the better. Night all, sweet scaly dreams. Rain continues to drip outside, but I have a metal roof and the white noise is soothing for a South Austin rest.
Mueller has a plan, and it appears part of it is to drive Drumpf insane, not that he has far to go. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s tweet storm and the next indictment (Hello, Carter Page! You went to meet the Russians! In Russia! Come on down!).

I wouldn’t complain about that. We will see though. I’m just relived Mueller is taking this seriously.
I would not be surprised if Mueller lets the indictments drip out, bit by bit, just to see where things go. It’s fairly obvious that the White House had no defense prepared for the revelation that Papadopoulos had turned coat. No telling who else has made a deal, a thought that is probably causing a lot of cold sweats at 1600 Penn Ave.

Warhammer Time
Ciaphas Cain was an Imperial Guard Commissar. He was in active service during the last century of the 41st Millennium, and was over 200 Terran years old when he was recalled into service during the 13th Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler. It is certain that he survived more than a quarter of a century into the 42nd Millennium. Imperial propaganda made him out to be a great hero of the Imperium of Man in the late 41st Millennium, although in truth he was primarily focused on his own survival during his long career. However, Cain differed from many other Imperial Commissars in that he would not readily sacrifice his soldiers unless it ensured his own survival. Cain tried his utmost to avoid engaging in actual combat, but usually was required to do so to maintain his status as a Hero of the Imperium, which ironically would involve him in more dangerous situations than any he would usually have seen as a simple Commissar. He was responsible for many successful campaigns throughout his career and retired to become an instructor for new Imperial Commissars at a Schola Progenium.
Take Bruce Campbell, throw in some Blackadder, complete with trusty sidekick, and you’ve got Ciaphas Cain.

re: #121 Big Beautiful Door
Lee frequently threw his soldiers into hopeless bloody attacks, of which Pickett’s Charge is only the most famous example, bleeding the Confederacy dry of its limited manpower. If you check the 1860 census, the 11 states that would make up the Confederacy only had a little over one million white men between the ages of 15-40. Not only did the free Union states have about four times that number, the Union could also augment its total with European immigrants, and eventually arming African-Americans from both the North and the South.
He came within a hair’s breadth of defeating the Union army in the Seven Days’s campaign, but never had that chance again.

No, but Rommel was sympathetic to the movement and seen by the conspirators as a figure that the public could rally around, also because was not one of the aristocratic military elite who were behind the Valkyrie plot. In fact, he owed much of his career and fame to Hitler’s patronage.

The police and FBI are still looking into that.
That said, so-called Islamic State has been encouraging people to conduct acts on their own. That’s not original to Daesh: There have been plenty of groups in the past that have used that particular strategy (this is our overarching philosophy, we sanction individuals or small groups to commit actions in our name).
Daesh is big on claiming acts that they didn’t inspire though (primarily for self-promotion and spreading fear).

Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area. It looks like yesterday’s vehicle rampage was an act of terrorism, so we know Trump jumped all over it because the driver appears to be Muslim.
When a white supremacist driver rampaged through a crowd in Charlottesville because they were protesting Nazis and white supremacists and KKK defending statues to insurrectionists and traitors, Trump couldn’t bother to mention the word terrorism.
When a shooter killed 59 and injured nearly 600 people, Trump couldn’t muster the energy to propose changes to gun laws even weeks later, mostly because the shooter was a white guy.
But because the driver in NYC was Muslim, Trump thinks we should do more extreme vetting? His bans wouldn’t have stopped any terrorist attacks in the US - none of the countries of origin for the recent terrorists are on the lists he’s proposed. A Muslim ban wouldn’t have stopped the Vegas slaughter or other mass shootings.
The Muslim ban plays well with the addled know nothing xenophobic GOP base though, so that’s his go to action.
The courts see through this though, because they keep striking down his Muslim ban EOs.
Meanwhile, the GOP is all about tax reform, except they don’t have a bill, they can’t figure out what they’re actually doing besides trying to maximize the tax cuts for millionaires and shifting the burdens to everyone else. The GOP is so clueless that they’re delaying the rollout of the tax plan because they couldn’t get it off of the back of a napkin.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because it should. After claiming that the GOP had a better way on taxes and health care, when they’re presented with the opportunity to show their work, they could muster only the barest of outlines that omit key information.
In other words, this is Trumpcare redux - it’s vaporware and malware as applied to tax reform. The GOP doesn’t have a plan and no strategy, but they’re going to go ahead with screwing up the federal budget because that’s the only thing they know how to do.

I’ve always wondered why there was—is—such great attachment to General Lee as opposed to, say, Jefferson Davis.*
I’ve concluded that it partly has something to do with the glamour of war, and partly that it is a way to subtly affirm the Confederacy without appearing to actually embrace the cause of splittering the Union or supporting slavery (hence all the bogwash about how Lee was supposedly against secession and hated slavery, etc). Likewise, there’s no love for someone like Jefferson Davis whose “mere” political office was less “honorable”, politics being a dirty business, and Davis was rather unglamorously captured after fleeing Richmond.

What that woman said was formally true but misleading. AA is not inherently violent, true. A murderer shouting AA while committing murder is absolutely meaningful and points to the motive (no, not establishing it 100%, meaningfulness is a matter of probability).
The whole point is fighting back against the concept that ‘Allahu Akbar’ is, inherently , a violent and terroristic phrase, and that anyone who dare uses it (i.e. Muslims) is somehow inherently terroristic themselves. That’s the point they’re trying to get at, because as others have pointed out above, the way the phrase is treated, you’d think it translated directly to ‘Death to the West’. They don’t care about the context, they’re trying to criminalize Islam and Muslims as a whole by making some indelible attachment between that phrase and terrorism as a whole.

re: #255 wheat-dogg

Yeah I think that’s part of it. Plus Davis is seen as a mere politician and Lee noble warrior though Davis actually had served in the military himself and been Secretary of War. I think it boils down to the fact that Lee had more admirers in the CSA and former CSA to write the history. I know this much. The Lost Causers hated General Longstreet for a few reasons: One, he criticized Lee in his memoirs for how Lee handled Gettysburg, two he became a Republican and supporter of Reconstruction and thus African-Americans having rights, and third he became a Catholic convert. General Longstreet was an as if not more talented general than Lee in many ways- they were still teaching his theories on defensive warfare at West Point well into last century. Anyhow, I’m proud to have had a second great grandfather that fought for the Union. What Kelly gets wrong is simple to me. Yes, our past leaders have had flaws but Washington, Lincoln, JFK, the Roosevelts, John Adams, and Jefferson all have one thing that separates them from Lee. They never took up arms against this country.

Awaiting Trump’s coal comeback, miners reject retraining
WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - When Mike Sylvester entered a career training center earlier this year in southwestern Pennsylvania, he found more than one hundred federally funded courses covering everything from computer programming to nursing.
He settled instead on something familiar: a coal mining course.
“I think there is a coal comeback,” said the 33-year-old son of a miner.
Despite broad consensus about coal’s bleak future, a years-long effort to diversify the economy of this hard-hit region away from mining is stumbling, with Obama-era jobs retraining classes undersubscribed and future programs at risk under President Donald Trump’s proposed 2018 budget.
Trump has promised to revive coal by rolling back environmental regulations and moved to repeal Obama-era curbs on carbon emissions from power plants.
“I have a lot of faith in President Trump,” Sylvester said.
The delusion is strong, and damaging.
“Dems have no message” is an easy narrative; a more correct narrative is “Dems can’t break through Trump news to save their lives.”

Sure, formally the message could be read as “we normal Muslims say AA millions of times during our lives, doesn’t mean *we* are terrorists”. But due to ambiguity in the way it was written it could also read “just because this guy shouted AA doesn’t mean *he* is a terrorist”. Her subsequent comment goes rather in the latter direction:

I for the life of me don’t get these guys. You see, my grandfather was the son of a miner. Grandpa when he dropped out of high school tried the mines out like his Dad had. He hated it. When he got home from the Army in 1952-53, he went to trade school to learn how to become a bricklayer. As far as I know, none of his brothers finished their careers as coal miners and for Grandpa, it was a good decision, he lived to be 79 years old and all his grandchildren be born. And my grandmother also was the child of a coal miner. She’s still with us. She doesn’t get the nostagia for the mines. She remembers her Dad who died at the age of 63, a few years younger than my Dad is now in fact having a difficult time walking at the time. The tragedy of it is, Great Grandpa was very healthy towards the end other than his lungs. I have no doubt had he worked some place other than a coal mine, he would have like his brother and father lived a long and healthy life. I probably would have never met him still since he would have been 100 years old the I was born but he would have definitely gotten to know my mom and her brother.

Yeah I remember going to Johnstown when I was a kid. Went back for the first time in years. The mines reopening isn’t going to happen. The economy there needs to adapt. Economies adapt.

It’s just kind of amazing honestly. Growing up in Southern WV, I’ve seen the state that unrestrained mining has kind of not only disrupted the landscape but left people in a lurch, as well as the folk heroism of miner protests, that this mythologizing and nostalgia for coal persists.
re: #259 HappyWarrior
It’s disturbing how this revisionism about the Civil War — or the War of Northern Aggression, as some would call it — has percolated into the daily news cycle. It’s not just the white supremacists marching by the half-dozens in the streets, it’s members of the administration trying to revise history. They’re condoning the bullshit insurrectionism that strengthened during Obama’s terms — that somehow the federal government is a force for evil and therefore it’s permissible to take up arms against it. I doubt Kelly has thought that deeply about what his defense of Lee suggests to would-be seditionists. I would hope that he, as a member of the armed forces, would not willingly encourage insurrection against the government, but with this administration nothing would surprise me.

Ditto eastern KY. Sensible folks know strip mining is bad on several different levels, and that strip mines employ relatively few people, given how mechanized it all is. The days of hundreds of men going bodily into the mines each day is a part of history that will not return.

When I think about my mom’s grandfathers, immigrants from Eastern Europe, I think about how they did what they did so their descendants i.e. my grandparents, mom and uncle, me and my brothers, and now my niece wouldn’t have to do that kind of work. As I said, my grandfather ended up becoming a brick mason. He left Johnstown in the mid 50’s before my Uncle was born. Mom and my Uncle ended up becoming the first people in their families to attend college. My brother is about to receive his BA and I have my BA. Brother wants to get his MA. And our youngest brother could be headed for UVA if he keeps on doing well in high school. That’s the American dream.

I can’t fathom why any family would want their kids to stay in the mines, or why any miner’s kid would want to be a miner. It’s definitely Old World mentality.

Yep and then you have those who actually lived it like my grandmother who remembers her father being unable to walk towards the end of his life. But yeah, it’s this macho bullshit where being a miner or steelworker is more “manly” than working in an office or something like that. Ya know, my one great grandfather was a pretty smart guy, spoke a few different languages other than his native Rusyn and the English he adapted here, who knows what he could have done in a post-industrial economy.

cant answer your question - i can raise a few more
- when do you expect / want to retire - ie how many years are you going to contribute?
- how would you expect / want to live when you retire - that determines to an extent how much money you will need to have saved
- there’s a lot of assumptions between today and your future - changing jobs, tax laws, raises, all sorts of stuff
in general, all other things being equal, save as much as you dont think you’re going to need to live on, or need to tap in an unforeseen emergency.
and 21.47% - not a chance

There are retirement calculators you can use that can make sure that you’re going to hit your targets - how old do you want to be when you retire, what other retirement income you might have, how much you want to save at retirement, your cost of living, etc.
All the major brokerages have this, and many 401k systems have that kind of feature.

It was nonsense about how multicultural student groups at Stanford were oppressing and discriminating against white students at Stanford.

I think Dinesh’s only problem with the Confederacy is its leaders were mostly Democrats. Anyhow, can I just say something though about the Democratic Party. Yes, there were a lot of Democrats who supported slavery and secession in those days. But there were other Democrats like Martin Van Buren who later opposed slavery and Lincoln’s old famous debate rival, Stephen Douglass who supported the Union fully. Plus a lot of Lincoln’s top generals were Democrats too like Winfield Scott Hancock. The Republican Party of that day deserves its due. They were anti-slavery but the narrative pushed by psuedo-historians of the Civil War being Anti-Slavery Republicans versus Pro-Slavery Democrats is inaccurate.

Howdy!
I was checking out ESPN this morning to see the baseball results from last night since I did not watch.
I saw this article with Pappa John’s Pizza owner (and noted conservative asshole) John Schnatter bitching about the anthem protests by the players hurting his business.
I don’t suppose Schnatter would consider the fact that his pizzas suck and his business is dropping off from NFL fans because as they try them, they decide they don’t like them.
But hey…those damn players.
ESPN - Papa John’s says anthem protests are hurting deal with NFL
Executives from Papa John’s, the official pizza company of the NFL, expressed disappointment on a conference call Wednesday about the league’s ongoing player protests during the national anthem.
“The NFL has hurt us,” company founder and CEO John Schnatter said. “We are disappointed the NFL and its leadership did not resolve this.”
Executives said the company has pulled much of its NFL television advertising and that the NFL has responded by giving the company additional future spots.
“Leadership starts at the top and this is an example of poor leadership,” Schnatter said, noting he thought the issue had been “nipped in the bud” a year and a half ago.
In revising sales estimates for the next quarter, Papa John’s president and chief operating officer Steve Ritchie said on the call that the NFL deal was the primary suspect behind the decline and that “we expect it to persist unless a solution is put in place.”
Ritchie said that research has found that Papa John’s has been the most recognized sponsor associated with the NFL for two years running, which he said means the company’s performance can track with that of the league.
Papa John’s has a deal with not only the NFL, but also with 23 individual teams.
Company executives declined to disclose exactly how much money in projected sales Papa John’s lost from its association with the NFL and declining ratings, which mean fewer people are ordering their product for game days, they said.

He clearly has no concern about it given that in the excerpt from the Tweet above, he specifically advocates for “rational discrimination” in at least the lending context. He’s advocating for systemic discrimination while at the same time arguing that such discrimination isn’t racist. (All for the ostensible purpose of allowing banks to “save time” when making lending decisions.). I’m developing a migraine.
re: #284 HappyWarrior
That’s the thing isn’t it? The American Civil War caused more deaths than any other of our wars. It amazes me that those who want to wave around the patriotism banner would venerate Lee and the CSA or attempt to defend their cause.
Again, my favorite quote from Virginia-born Union General Henry “The Rock of Chickamauga” Thomas:
[T]he greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property—justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people—was not exacted from them.

The tripe about the Dems being the racist party is just horseshit all the way down. It was a regional/cultural divide, not a political divide.

And last but not least, regardless of the historical origins the Democratic Party in Southern states and their espousal of racism, what dipshits like D’Souza can’t grasp/hand wave away is that the descendants of the racist Southern Democrats are now the core of the modern fucking GOP—and that is absolutely by design.

Yeah, this. Cardin: Russia’s election meddling is ‘an act of war’
Russian efforts to interfere in last year’s presidential election amount to “an act of war,” Sen. Ben Cardin said Wednesday, and to question otherwise plays right into Russia’s hands.
“You’re falling into Russia’s trap. Russia is spending money in this country to convince us that this is nothing more than what’s been done since the beginning of time,” Cardin (D-Md.) said Wednesday at an event hosted by the National Democratic Institute. “It’s a conscientious effort to say ‘we all do this, so why is America getting upset?’ And we’re falling trap to it because we’re giving legitimacy to this.”
“Cyber is an attack against our country. When you use cyber in an affirmative way to compromise our democratic, free election system, that’s an attack against America,” he continued. “It’s an act of war. It is an act of war.”
Knocking off a couple of points for use of the hated ‘cyber.’ Otherwise, dead on.

Okay someone can explain it better than I can but the gist from what I get is some reviewer wrote a positive review of an Indy Game in 2014. The ex of the woman who developed the game alleged that the reason why the game got favorably reviewed is because his ex (the developer) slept with the reviewer and it got all the bros in a frenzy. It’s also I believe how Milo made his name and rep even though he had mocked gamers previously but Milo being Milo the attention junkie he is saw an opportunity and it jump started his 15 mins of fame.

re: #393 Backwoods_Sleuth
The Slate article notes that the attorney client privilege is a bedrock legal principle, but there’s a very limited exception (crime-fraud exception) where a person uses that privilege to try and engage in a criminal act. The article details just how Mueller identified exactly what the criminal/fraudulent act was and the court agreed that this was a textbook example.
The court made it abundantly clear that they understood exactly what Manafort was doing and how the privilege would be waived as a result of Manafort’s actions.
The crime-fraud exception holds that if a client seeks legal advice in furtherance of a crime, privileged communications between the attorney and client are waived. In effect, the distinction is as follows: You can safely tell your lawyer where you buried the bodies, but you can’t ask your lawyer how to bury the bodies.
Manafort was asking the latter (money laundering). Mueller wanted the answer to that - and got the court to agree that the lawyer had to answer that.
In effect, Manafort was pulling an Office Space (how do you money launder? go to the dictionary).

re: #402 HappyWarrior
Okay someone can explain it better than I can but the gist from what I get is some reviewer wrote a positive review of an Indy Game in 2014. The ex of the woman who developed the game alleged that the reason why the game got favorably reviewed is because his ex (the developer) slept with the reviewer and it got all the bros in a frenzy. It’s also I believe how Milo made his name and rep even though he had mocked gamers previously but Milo being Milo the attention junkie he is saw an opportunity and it jump started his 15 mins of fame. I like games too. In fact, I was playing MGS V just last night and I very much enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment but these guys.
Even though the person who wrote the review is not the person the ex- slept with.
Gamergaters developed the tactic of swarming their critics, pinpointing those who were POCs or women.

Dinesh was racist when I saw him speak over 20 years ago — and he has not improved with age. He seemed to have no awareness or perhaps it was no concern of the systemic discrimination African-Americans endured since the Civil. He was a liar then and remains a liar today.
Does he think he is white? Or that the people whose approval he seeks would consider him white?

Most online video gamers are teenage males or young adults. This is a demographic that is prone to antisocial behaviour, and has a tendency to cluster in groups with a gang-type mentality. This is not limited to teenage males, naturally - most online video gamers are males in general with a similar mentality. Add the anonymity and freedom of consequences that the internet provides, and there is a huge subsection of online game players that are, in short, humongous assholes. And they’re free to be because there are no real consequences, due to anonymity.
You are who you are on the internet, and as a species, we have failed this test of character. This is a large part of my avoidance of all social media, and why I reveal very little about myself in any online forum. The mentality of Gamergate goes hand in hand with the mentality of Facebook and Twitter trolls, and, further out, the mentality of the know-nothing far right and their media cult. As a species, part of our next step of evolution must be to incorporate the social norms and responsibilities we feel when interacting in person to our online interactions.

Wrong way to state that…who wouldn’t pay an extra ten cents to ensure that you wouldn’t have preexisting conditions kill you, basic mandatory coverage (shots, annual physicals, pap smears, prostate exams), and you couldn’t lose insurance by various companies whims? Oh, and everyone would get coverage, so that sick people who work in restaurants won’t infect you because they had no insurance to see a doctor? Oh, and so that those incredible ER charges that don’t get paid don’t increase the cost of YOUR insurance because everyone pays when someone skips out? Who skips out?

I’m probably one of the few liberal white males that my brother’s friends know honestly. This is a county that went for Clinton, yes but we’re in a conservative part of it with GOP representation. Anyhow. I try to lead by example when talking with them. They know that my brother and I’s niece is Hispanic due to her mother’s Peruvian background. I just want them to understand this fundamental point. Never be a dick to someone because he or she looks different than you or comes from a different background. I was very lucky to grow up where I did in a more diverse area. I think that’s why perhaps me and my other brother- the father of my niece have more empathy for people of different backgrounds than our youngest brother. Now, I’m not saying my youngest brother is hateful or anything like that but he can’t empathize as well and maybe part of that is age too.

I think Dinesh’s only problem with the Confederacy is its leaders were mostly Democrats. Anyhow, can I just say something though about the Democratic Party. Yes, there were a lot of Democrats who supported slavery and secession in those days. But there were other Democrats like Martin Van Buren who later opposed slavery and Lincoln’s old famous debate rival, Stephen Douglass who supported the Union fully. Plus a lot of Lincoln’s top generals were Democrats too like Winfield Scott Hancock. The Republican Party of that day deserves its due. They were anti-slavery but the narrative pushed by psuedo-historians of the Civil War being Anti-Slavery Republicans versus Pro-Slavery Democrats is inaccurate.
In the 1860 presidential race, the Democratic convention at Charleston couldn’t pick a candidate due to differences over you-know-what, basically. So they held a second convention, in Baltimore I believe, and still couldn’t agree on a candidate. Whereupon they split into northern and southern factions, with the north running Stephen Douglas and the south John Breckinridge. So, yeah, anybody trying to paint this house a single color is painting with poop.

Crazy president* surrounded by mad incompetents, giving insane advice.
“….Roger Stone believes defunding Mueller isn’t enough. Instead, Stone wants Trump to call for a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s role in approving the controversial Uranium One deal that’s been a locus of rightwing hysteria (the transaction involved a Russian state-owned energy firm acquiring a Canadian mining company that controlled 20 percent of the uranium in the United States). It’s a bit of a bank shot, but as Stone described it, a special prosecutor looking into Uranium One would also have to investigate the F.B.I.’s role in approving the deal, thereby making Mueller—who was in charge of the bureau at the time—a target. Stone’s choice for a special prosecutor: Rudy Giuliani law colleague Marc Mukasey or Fox News pundit Andrew Napolitano. “You would immediately have to inform Mueller, Comey, and [Deputy Attorney General] Rod Rosenstein that they are under federal investigation,” Stone said. “Trump can’t afford to fire Mueller politically. But this pushes him aside.”

So you’re saying Stone wants to create a yuuuuge giant clusterfruckmonster in the middle of the nation’s political and governing system.

Former police chief said black people are ‘like ISIS’ and he’d like to be ‘on the firing squad,’ feds say
The former chief of a small township in New Jersey has been arrested on federal hate crime and civil rights charges for what federal authorities described as a pattern of racist comments and behavior — including slamming an African American teen’s head into a metal door jamb and saying that black people are “like ISIS.”
Frank Nucera Jr., 60, who had been chief of the Bordentown Township Police Department, was arrested Monday, and the charges against him were unsealed Tuesday. The allegations are notable for the blatant racism they describe in a law enforcement leader.
Again, GOP wants to ignore the Constitution, federal law, & the Bill of Rights. They aren’t law & order. They’re authoritarian extremists

We had this discussion going back decades, and I can pretty recall what should happen with terrorists.
Captured overseas, they get military tribunals because constitutional protections and evidence gathering was insufficient to meet civil criminal justice standards.
Captured on US soil? They get processed through civilian criminal justice system, including the protections under the Constitution against self incrimination, right to counsel, etc.
It’s worked in prosecutions against dozens of terrorists captured here in the US. This is no different.
Why treat this guy any different than the domestic terrorist who drove through crowd in Charlottesville? That white supremacist was part of a dangerous group intent on doing harm to America and a large number of American citizens. He was radicalized here in the US by right wing agitprop that swap out names and places would be almost indistinguishable from the extremists anywhere else in the world (including the Islamic terrorists that the GOP loses their shit over).
Once the person is incarcerated, that’s it. They’re in prison - and we’re not denying anyone their civil rights or abrogating the Constitution to do it.
The GOP has given up its claim to support and defend the constitution with this crap. They aren’t even trying; they’re just an authoritarian party intent on ramming their agenda through without regard to the consequences.
Further update on Zeena the Worrier Princess - we have our old chowhound back! She’s starting to gain back all the weight she lost, she’s active, and of course, she’s deliriously happy that Mrs. FBW is home again (as am I).
Here she is, 20 minutes after dinner, demanding more dinner.
The ear thing - she seems to always do that when she’s hungry. Must be semaphore.

Ryan on phone to Boehner: What the frock do I do now? The loony in the WH wants to call it the Cut, Cut, Act?
Boehner (laughing in background): You could create a phony bill called the Cut, Cut, Cut Act, which doesn’t do anything. He won’t know the difference. Or just name it whatever you want and trust that Trump won’t remember what he wanted to call it anyway.
Another way to frame headline; Mueller’s acting in absence of GOP taking their oaths of office seriously.

The good news is that law enforcement continues to deal with monsters despite a monster in the White House. We’re also seeing a lot of harassers go down. The toxic-right continues to lose ground.

“…Republicans are not moved. Top Republicans on the committees probing Russian election meddling say this week’s developments do not change their investigation, nor do they add up to collusion.
“I’m not sure that it changes anything for our investigation,” Burr said. “I don’t think the indictments were a surprise to any of us who had been involved in the investigation for nine months.”
“It looks to me like it’s disconnected from what we’re looking at,” said Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho, another senior Republican on the intelligence panel”

It’s complicating the goopers’ plans to shove it all under the rug, yes. It’s interfering with their ability to not see shit that’s directly in front of their eyes.
