And I get that there’s always been that element in the right but the right has grown worse and more and more reactionary minded.

Happy, I remember the Teen Republicans in High School who swooned all over Nixon in 1972 especially when he won the mock election 2-1 against McGovern. Then I was active in Colllege Young Dems where we had to share the same Student Union room as the College Republicans whose majority supported Ford in 1976. But in the last year of undergrad school (1977), they started moving into the Reagan column. The main engine of the move Right was speared first by the churches, then talk radio, next came Jesus TV, then Fox and that opened the door for every right wing asshole to get on a platform AM radio, “ministries” and then the net.
This is the direct consequence of Pruneface Reagan dismantling the FCC with the repeal of the Equal Time Rule and Fairness Doctrine. All of these came together to become the Republican 24/7 Bullshit Machine that Louis Powell proposed in his infamous 1970 memorandum.

I think what makes me hate Reagan is he divided people but he did it with all smiles and not too many people to this day see what damage he caused. Someone like Nixon? Yeah Nixon was destructive but Nixon I guess wasn’t as subtle about what a sob he really was. Reagan, he’d smile at you and remind you of your kind Grandpa while he weakened the labor unions and middle class. I guess what I also really hate about Reagan is how two faced he was. He’d talk rightfully about the USSR’s tyranny in Eastern Europe but then have our money go to right wing totalitarians in Latin and South America. He’d talk about how wonderful our country was while using winks and nudges to the people still not over Civil Rights. I really hope one day that historians see beyond the Gipper cult and see a flawed man that I think was a big part of why we have Trumpism today.

Yes, the RepubliKKKlans deliberately cut embassy security because they wanted a Benghazi attack to pin on Obama. And as for Fucking Romney he’s just another asshole RepubliKKKlan who craves power and will lie, cheat and steal his way to getting it.

I don’t know they actually wanted an attack in Libya, but they sure were happy to take advantage of that (and ignore the one in Cairo the same time).
And they tend to forget a couple things:
a) Embassy duty is frickin’ dangerous.
b) No hearings during the Bush Administration about far more embassy attacks during his administration, almost as if it’s Okay if You’re a Rebublican.
January 22, 2002. Calcutta, India. Gunmen associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami attack the U.S. Consulate. Five people are killed.
June 14, 2002. Karachi, Pakistan. Suicide bomber connected with al Qaeda attacks the U.S. Consulate, killing 12 and injuring 51.
October 12, 2002. Denpasar, Indonesia. U.S. diplomatic offices bombed as part of a string of “Bali Bombings.” No fatalities.
February 28, 2003. Islamabad, Pakistan. Several gunmen fire upon the U.S. Embassy. Two people are killed.
May 12, 2003. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Armed al Qaeda terrorists storm the diplomatic compound, killing 36 people including nine Americans. The assailants committed suicide by detonating a truck bomb.
July 30, 2004. Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A suicide bomber from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan attacks the U.S. Embassy, killing two people.
December 6, 2004. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Qaeda terrorists storm the U.S. Consulate and occupy the perimeter wall. Nine people are killed.
March 2, 2006. Karachi, Pakistan again. Suicide bomber attacks the U.S. Consulate killing four people, including U.S. diplomat David Foy who was directly targeted by the attackers. (I wonder if Lindsey Graham or Fox News would even recognize the name “David Foy.” This is the third Karachi terrorist attack in four years on what’s considered American soil.)
September 12, 2006. Damascus, Syria. Four armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” storm the U.S. Embassy using grenades, automatic weapons, a car bomb and a truck bomb. Four people are killed, 13 are wounded.
January 12, 2007. Athens, Greece. Members of a Greek terrorist group called the Revolutionary Struggle fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the U.S. Embassy. No fatalities.
March 18, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Members of the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Jihad of Yemen fire a mortar at the U.S. Embassy. The shot misses the embassy, but hits nearby school killing two.
July 9, 2008. Istanbul, Turkey. Four armed terrorists attack the U.S. Consulate. Six people are killed.
September 17, 2008. Sana’a, Yemen. Terrorists dressed as military officials attack the U.S. Embassy with an arsenal of weapons including RPGs and detonate two car bombs. Sixteen people are killed, including an American student and her husband (they had been married for three weeks when the attack occurred). This is the second attack on this embassy in seven months.

Well, not fake per se, as the process of the election as set forth by law and the Constitution regurgitated him.
Unfortunately, the USA has the oldest constitution in the world currently active, and fifty states’ laws all differing in procedures plus a largely-unregulated social media system made it possible to corrupt the election by other actors (both in and outside the country).
The solution would seem to be to run our elections as other nations do (by the national government) and reign in the power of independent corporations to influence elections by taking freakin’ rubles for advertising whilst keeping their data bases secret on everyone’s information.

I think the Russians are getting tuned up to officially deny the reality of the Apollo Moon landings. Their conspiracy media are trending that way and their American collaborators are already there. If so, they will join the Taliban as the second national government to dispute the landings’ authenticity. This will happen once the Trump gambit has run its course, particularly if it fails spectacularly.

It’ll grow the economy…
Most every reputable economists have said the opposite, that this tax bill will lead to another recession.
It’ll result in higher wages…
Businesses across the spectrum have admitted they’re not going to raise wages, but instead buy back stock and increase automation.
Families will see tax savings…
That will be eaten up by everything from higher insurance costs to higher fees for services that will need funding as a result of tax revenues dropping.
WELL TRUMP SUPPORTS IT!

Many boys are/were taught what is right and wrong. The problem is many chose to ignore those teachings and do what they do anyway.
I think some of it comes from men getting together and learning how to ignore all that teaching and doing what they want anyway. That is a powerful thing. Men can be tough on each other and many weaker men follow along and then it becomes a thing they do.
Apparently learning the hard way is going to be what is needed.

It has to be more than affairs, doesn’t it? Certainly, consensual relationships wouldn’t be a problem; if they were, Mika and Joe would have to go — or at least Joe.

I have no sympathy whatever for someone who gets fired from a multi-million dollar job for acting like a pig. He has reported on these issues for years, but he was arrogant enough to think the rules did not apply to him. Looks like they do after all.

While women do raise and formally educate young people more than males, there is still a big drive to fit in and be as manly as the self proclaimed alphas.

Because men who do this shit don’t care what women think and they minimize us as lying, hysterical or overly emotional and weak.

NY Post:
Matt Lauer allegedly sexually assaulted staffer during Olympics
Matt Lauer allegedly sexually assaulted a female NBC staffer during the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, sources told Page Six.
An NBC insider said Lauer’s alleged victim complained to HR on Monday, “This happened so quickly. She didn’t go to the media, she made a complaint to NBC’s human resources, and her evidence was so compelling that Matt was fired on Tuesday night. The victim says she has evidence that this has also happened to other women, but so far we don’t have evidence of that.”
As suspected, there were some warnings:
Lauer’s firing comes amid rumors that several news outlets were working on stories about his alleged sexual misconduct.
Reporters for The New York Times had been investigating Lauer for several weeks, according to sources who had been contacted by the paper, CNN reported.
Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area.
Matt Lauer got shitcanned for being a sex harasser with a history of harassment.
Just a week ago there were rumors of other men who were being investigated for harassment or abuse.
I stand by what I wrote then and now. We’re all better off with these men gone. How much has been lost due to misogynistic acts? Far more than losing these predators.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) November 29, 2017
Took way too long for that to happen.
So of course Trump had to weigh in on that too.
Trump’s accused of being a serial sex predator who has admitted to sex assaults. The GOP elected him to the WH. He has no standing to talk about anything relating to sex harassment or sex abuse, unless it’s to admit he was criminally liable and will resign on those grounds.
But we all know he’d never do that. He’s a sex predator whose entire history is littered with criminal and suspect actions.
Everyone will wonder now what NBC will do at the Today show. I have an idea - put the woman who Lauer helped run off back in charge: Ann Curry.
Who should replace Matt Lauer on Today show? @AnnCurry. She was run off despite insiders knowing Lauer was the one who was adversely affecting ratings. Turns out he was harasser too.

All of this does link back to how the media treated Hillary - and it does show how misogyny, harassment, and sex predators helped shape the narrative against Hillary (and those folks are starting to be outed as sex predators and held accountable for longstanding harassment and abuse).
I’m not the first or the tenth person to say this, but I can’t help wonder how different and how much better the last year would have been if Hillary Clinton hadn’t been covered by men who share Donald Trump’s view of women.

I don’t think you’re quite remembering history correctly. How long has it actually been wrong for men to make sexual passes at women? How long has it actually been the man’s responsibility to check himself? And how long have we actually been properly teaching men to do the right thing, and by properly I mean not just saying the words but condemning it in the things we see around us?
And I know, someone’s going to say we shouldn’t have to teach men that. But shouldn’t and don’t have to are two different things. I personally wonder why so many people have trouble with simple tasks on their computers but I still help them figure it out.

Read an important article on vox.com this morning. A graduate student from Sweden infiltrated an alt-right group called the London Forum. While undercover he traveled to the US and participated in the Charlottesville march. These people are literal Nazis; racism and anti-Semitism are at the core of their beliefs, and they want to use violence to overthrow liberal democracy and replace it with a Nazi dictatorship. They have been emboldened by their electoral success in the US and Europe and are growing.

The problem seems to be that it’s easier to destroy rather than create. Much like pointed out regarding the Project Veritas scams: we have to be lucky every time, they only have to be lucky once.

I used to watch her on Bloomberg. She’s sharp, and does not take shit from anyone. We will never see Trump submit to an interview with her for those reasons.

I must be depressed by the daily news. My first thought was they can’t save us from ourselves, just near omnipotent aliens. //
Oh, isn’t that the way the story always goes? Yet, it’s those stories - the complex ones that still manage to end up with a bit of hope in the end - that help us keep going.
One of the things I liked best about Rouge One was how by the end everyone was talking of hope again, leading into “A New Hope”. We have a nasty mess in this nation right now and it’s hard to to deal with. But it’s even more impossible to deal with without hope.
I found a new leader of tomorrow to follow.

It has to be more than affairs, doesn’t it? Certainly, consensual relationships wouldn’t be a problem; if they were, Mika and Joe would have to go — or at least Joe.
What I read on the ‘net was called affairs. I am thinking it may not have been all that consensual. With the breaking of all of these allegations and revelations maybe the person involved finally found the strength to come out with the details about it all happened on the job.

Twitter has debunked two of the anti-Muslim videos retweeted by Trump.
The “Muslim” beating up the kid on crutches was not a Muslim, and he was arrested.
The video of some people pushing a kid off a roof happened in Egypt in 2013. Arrests there, too.
Waiting on provenance of the third, showing an alleged imam stealing or breaking a statue of the Virgin Mary. But I’m sure it’s fake news, too.

re: #114 ObserverArt
Many boys are/were taught what is right and wrong. The problem is many chose to ignore those teachings and do what they do anyway.
I think some of it comes from men getting together and learning how to ignore all that teaching and doing what they want anyway. That is a powerful thing. Men can be tough on each other and many weaker men follow along and then it becomes a thing they do.
Apparently learning the hard way is going to be what is needed.
people generally learn and/or know right from wrong
they do what they think they can get away with
speeding, cheating on taxes, lying, behavior towards women, treatment of employees, bribery, petty blackmail, payoffs with nda’s, on and on and on

re: #150 Belafon
I don’t think you’re quite remembering history correctly. How long has it actually been wrong for men to make sexual passes at women? How long has it actually been the man’s responsibility to check himself? And how long have we actually been properly teaching men to do the right thing, and by properly I mean not just saying the words but condemning it in the things we see around us?
And I know, someone’s going to say we shouldn’t have to teach men that. But shouldn’t and don’t have to are two different things. I personally wonder why so many people have trouble with simple tasks on their computers but I still help them figure it out.
Moving through the thread trying to catch up.
I was talking about my own experiences. Again, Catholic school educated by the nuns who pressed these issues a lot. I was in 7th grade in 1967, graduated 8th grade in ‘68. This was the era of hippies, free love, birth control, sexual enlightenment, etc.
The nuns rode hard on all that due to the times. Many of the guys were already ignoring it all.
Chances are others, like you, may have completely different experiences.

Roy Moore seems to fit predator.
Trump defined himself as a predator.
I think all of this needs to be defined like all other levels of crimes in degrees of offense.

i dont think that changes because people on the internet (gasp) or elsewhere choose to misuse or morph or outright twist the definitions so they can make their personal arguments stronger
I was once a bartender in a restaurant. I did not think of it as a position of power but if you are a new waitress a bartender can slow your drink order enough and hassle you while you pick it up and really make life difficult.
That is not something I knew, it is something I learned. I was very attracted to this girl Dana. She was very flirty with me and others I guess - we were all college students. I asked her out after several rounds of flirting and she turned me down. I persisted in my flirting, I was young, until I saw a look in her eye. It was dread as she approached the bar.
It was like a smack in the face. Up until that moment I did not realize the power I had over her and that she had no other place to go to get her table’s drinks and how it affected her pay.
I was aghast over the situation. I felt a sense of revulsion of what I must be putting her through. Normally I would say “Needless to say” but it is necessary to say that I stopped immediately and made it clear to her that I would not pursue her anymore and that I would be professional.
To this day I can see the look she gave me even as I type this. I do not think it was her first time encountering that sort of thing.
We remained friends, she even began flirting again when she became more comfortable with me. I was really smitten by her but I kept my distance out of sheer confusion.
Anyway, it’s long overdue for NBC, CNN, etc. to do some real in-depth reporting on the harassment and assault allegations against Trump. I’d say he’s welcoming the attention and they’d better get to it.

White House press secretary says it doesn’t matter if the racist videos Trump tweeted are real or fake
“Whether it’s a real video, the threat is real.”
Isn’t this like when you get these idiots on social media giving you a quote from a famous person in an attempt to do an Argument From Authority manouvre on you, but thanks to your Google-fu, you can determine that it’s a fake quote. You respond to them to this effect, with links as evidence, and they respond along the lines of: “It’s doesn’t matter if the quote is fake!!! THE POINT IT MAKES IS REAL!!!!!!!!1!!ELEVENTY!!!”
Oh do you bloody think so? a) If it’s real, why use a fake quote? b) The only thing that’s clear from this exchange is that it’s a fake quote. So there’s no guarantee that the issue you are talking about is real. It’s not like you’re actually checking if the “evidence” you’re using bears any resemblance to the real world.

Jennifer Rubin’s newest column tells the Democrats to stand strong:
All of this takes place in the shadow of the tax-bill negotiations (more about that later today), but it’s indicative of Republicans’ desire to have their candy first (tax cuts) before figuring out how to pay for it and addressing competing interests on taxes. It would be a shame if, as in the 2013 shutdown, Republicans demonstrated their own ineptitude and caused widespread hardship for Americans. On the other hand, emergency spending (including national security) would continue and the debt ceiling is not an issue at this time. If shutting down the government for a few days is the price to pay for forcing Trump to retreat and to give way on DACA and CHIP, Democrats may figure it’s worth it.

Yeah, I should have clarified that. If it wasn’t that, it would have been something else. People left and right have been conditioned to treat her as if she’s awful. I was listening to a lecture about Stalin last night as I slept and the academic talking about Stalin couldn’t resist a Hillary dig when talking about how Bill had the innate political touch that HRC lacked in his eyes.

With the razor-thin deficit in a few critical states, it would be true, but useless, to say that any glitch tipped the balance.

Greg Sargent on the absolute surrealism of DT threatening NBC over sexual harassment:
This call for a look into vague allegations against NBC News’ chairman prompted some to marvel at how “brazen” Trump is being, given the sexual charges leveled at him, too. Similar surprise greeted Trump’s willingness to endorse Roy Moore while shrugging that Moore “totally denies” the believable charges against him, as that reminded everyone just how lacking in credibility were his own dismissals of so many equally believable accounts about himself.
But such incredulity misses the deeper significance of this stuff. The brazenness of it is the whole point — his utter shamelessness itself is meant to achieve his goal. In any given case, Trump is not trying to persuade anyone of anything as much as he is trying to render reality irrelevant, and reduce the pursuit of agreement on it to just another part of the circus. He’s asserting a species of power — the power to evade constraints normally imposed by empirically verifiable facts, by expectations of consistency, and even by what reasoned inquiry deems merely credible. The more brazen or shameless, the more potent is the assertion of power.

Well, I would argue he is trying to persuade someone of something, the “someone” of course being his deluded MAGAbot base, and the “something” being that everyone else who isn’t a worshipful MAGAbot is a liar, that only He and his fanatical band of followers are virtuous and truthful.

Been meaning to ask you since it’s long since dropped out of the news - what happened to the VA state house? Still in GOPer control…?
Yeah it looks like it’s going to stay in GOP hands unfortunately. However, this is the closest the Dems have been to controlling the HoD in years.

He’s right……if indeed Trump loses re-election in 2020, the neo-authoritarian right will indeed ‘lose their goddamned minds’ (or whatever’s left of it).
That could very well be the tipping point into outright political violence.

But we knew this. This is what Tony Schwartz, the real author of The Art of the Deal told us last year in his long apology. The only truth is what happens to be in Trump’s head at any particular moment.

There is also nationalism in the sense of forming an independent state, as in Scottish or Catalan nationalism, or the original form of German nationalism, namely of the desire to form a single German state out of the patchwork of smaller nations and principalities.

It took accusing his brother of murder for George to lose support for him. Again, that’s the thing with conservatives. There ain’t no empathy.

And George, you’re not going to see a public apology because Trump doesn’t do apologies. But hey glad you finally found out what kind of man he really is.
