The First Lady might not always wear her heart on her sleeve, but sometimes she’ll bust out a tone-deaf message on the back of her jacket.
It wasn’t tone deaf. It was far worse than that.
We need to STOP beating around the bush. What Donald Trump is doing is racist. And it’s fascist. It’s not even debatable at this point. Stop saying, “This isn’t America.” Yes, it is. It’s Donald Trump’s America. He told us what he was going to do, and he’s doing it.

Immigrants engage in crimes at a lower rate than the general public.
Illegal aliens engage in criminal conduct at a lower rate than the general public.
Native born Americans are a greater threat to their fellow Americans than immigrants (legal or illegal).
Trump is demonizing the other. That’s what he does. It’s how we slouch towards fascism - to the cheers of his sycophantic GOP that cheers every last thing that he does. It’s his bigot brigade base that cheers the loudest, since it’s their agenda he’s adopted.
On FOX & Friends earlier, Of course-I didn’t mean to make it seem like children coming into the U.S. illegally are less important because they live in another country. I have compassion for all children, especially for all the kids separated from their parents right now. 1 of 2

Gov. Matt Bevin invited Kentuckians to ask him questions about almost any topic Friday on Twitter and Facebook.

“Do you anticipate you will ever understand the constitution of Kentucky?” asked ChadandAnna Rogers on Facebook.
They followed that with: “Ever have anyone steal your retirement?”
On Twitter, @smitrond inquired: “Now that Missouri’s slime ball governor has quit, how does it feel to be the worst sitting governor?”
And @card_sharp72 wanted to know: “When you take selfies, do you have a lot of trouble stretching your arm out far enough to get your entire head in the picture?”
In his appeal, the Republican governor said questions submitted could be featured in an upcoming project, though he offered no further details.
“Whether you’re curious about what it’s like to be the governor, have a question about specific policies, or even wonder what kind of music I enjoy … NOW’S YOUR CHANCE to ask!” Bevin wrote.

Just saw this on local news. Another cop abusing his position…now fired.
LORAIN - A Lorain police officer was fired after an internal investigation found he abused his authority by conducting a traffic stop on his daughter’s boyfriend without cause and temporarily detained his daughter and her boyfriend in the back of his squad car.
Safety-Service Director Dan Given, Police Chief Cel Rivera and other command officers noted John Kovach Jr., a patrolman who joined the force in 1992, violated various sections of the department’s standards of conduct and policy and procedures during the April 16 incident.
He was fired May 11 and Given said the incident has been referred to County Prosecutor Dennis Will for review.
“These actions are not acceptable for members of our Police Department and we felt it warranted immediate dismissal,” Given said. The Police Department’s union is appealing the decision.
The incident
According to an internal investigation completed by Lt. Ed Super as well as dashcam footage from Kovach’s cruiser, shortly before 6 p.m. on April 16 a silver vehicle with a driver and three passengers passed Kovach’s patrol car in the same direction that he was facing on West 34th Street. Without alerting dispatch, Kovach initiates a stop.
He tells the driver, his daughter’s boyfriend Makai Coleman, 18, to get out because he’s “going to jail.” Coleman asks Kovach what for and Kovach responds: “Have a seat in my car. We’ll make (expletive) up as we go.” Coleman goes and sits in Kovach’s cruiser.
Kovach then addresses Gloria Morales, who comes out of her home nearby because her children are two of the three people in the car with Coleman. He tells Morales his daughter’s computer is inside her house and while she initially gives him permission to search the house, she later tells him to come back with a search warrant when he threatens to give her daughter a $300 ticket for not wearing her seatbelt.
Morales and Kovach argue back and forth after Kovach tells her to go inside the house. When she says she is calling 911, he threatens to arrest her, telling her it is not an emergency, according to documents related to the firing. He tells her two children to get out of the car and go with Morales. At that point, he notices his daughter, Katlyn Kovach, 18, in the backseat.
At that point, Kovach tells Coleman to get out of the cruiser and he pushes his daughter into the cruiser while she protests that she is 18 and can’t be arrested for without cause. He eventually gets her into the cruiser and drives away.
While all of that was going on, Kovach had been called to a road rage incident on Leavitt Road. According to the dashcam footage, Kovach does not respond to the call from dispatch.
Afterward, Kovach told Lt. Dan Smith he called Officer Efrain Torres after receiving the dispatch information and Torres told him he was not needed. Super noted nothing was seen or heard from the cruiser video to substantiate that Kovach made such a call.

He said keep your concentration on Cohen himself and what the prosecutors found in the raids. He called Cohen a hoarder that didn’t throw away anything.

“You see the first lady trying her best to separate herself from this because she, too, could have been one of those children,” Brzezinski said. “She doesn’t look like them, but she knows this is bad, so she rushes to the border, and who cares what she’s wearing? She probably was talking to her husband.”
This is the stupidest take I’ve heard yet. “She cared so much she had to rush to her photo op where the children aren’t being held” and just happened to be wearing that jacket.

From the collected ravings of US wingnuts online comes this atrocity:
“People will set aside for a moment their moral beliefs, their religious beliefs, to get somebody that is honest in office,” he said. “Trump is the trailblazer, he is the Christopher Columbus of honest politics.”
Truly revolting, but with a nice dose of irony. The metaphor gets much better when the dark side of Columbus’ expeditions is recalled (e.g., enslaving the natives).

Protesters Blast Kirstjen Nielsen’s Home With Audio of Crying Immigrant Children
For the second time in a week, protesters have confronted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kistrjen Nielsen for her role in the Trump administration’s (questionably renounced) policy of separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents.
Waving signs reading “child snatcher” and chanting “how do you sleep at night,” demonstrators, including members of immigrant rights group Casa In Action and Jewish Action—a wing of the progressive Jewish advocacy group Bend the Arc—massed outside Nielsen’s DC area townhome on Friday morning. According to HuffPost’s Philip Lewis, Neilsen was believed to have been inside during the protest.

“Public intellectuals” - a term that hardly has any meaning in these days, found new life on the internet, as broadcast TV wanes in viewership. On-demand viewing such as Netflix is not so lucrative for the pundits.

Now he is old.
And pretty much not in the mind-space of the younger generation.

“Looking at what’s going on in the country, and the federal level, just the anti-God, anti-American movement it seems like it in places, and we thought it would be a good idea to place on our buses and show our community’s patriotism…the reason I thought about it personally, I’m a God fan, I believe in God, I believe in country, and I believe this is our country’s motto,” Kidwell said.

The Loss-of-God problem is a primary driver in America’s social angst.

And his religious marks are so scared of the Loss-of-God problem that they’d rather have a hypocritical liar reinforce their idea of “God” than have an honest person simply tell them that she doesn’t care about their “God”.
hitlers, pre hitlers, and a package of hitler-helper
it occured to me that perhaps a reason that trump makes such an incompetent klown of a hitler is that he is only meant to be a pre hitler
an economically and institutionally strong united states is not an ideal flower bed to grow real hitlers in. a real fascist takeover takes hold best as a solution to chaos. after all, we are all quite clear now that mr pooty intends to undermine trust in democratic institutions. but also what is this massive trade war all about? it seems clear that it is going to hasten the next recession, due any year now, and make it worse. and while we wait to tell the trumpykins “see, i told you so” and hope that it fucks his chance of re election, it may also create a big batch of hitler-helper
for the real hitler to show up
and this time he won’t be a clown
but it also may be true that there is a miscalculation here on der pooty’s part: i hear from other countries where he’s tried out his trool army that they blow the little buggers off now - “oh, there’s another one of those russian trolls spreading lies”. it might could be that pre hitlers innoculate us, to some extent anyway, to real hitlers
and then there is that nasty law of unintended consequences

The funny thing is, it’s not like God is going anywhere. I mean, fuck’s sake, America was never founded as a Christian nation (only a few of the colonies were religious in nature, and they weren’t all Christians), and besides, Jesus explicitly told us not to bother with setting up earthly kingdoms because He wasn’t an earthly king. As long as we’re still free to have faith, that’s all that matters, but they’re so terrified of losing power and influence - and most of all, the sweet sweet cash flow of tithes from the devout faithful - that they are willing to sell their souls for it.

I just had a funny thing happen here at the Manatee home…
I’m out in my shop and two women approach…
Woman #1: “Hi! Someone to talk to!”
Me: “I see clipboards so somebody wants something today.” (smiling)
Woman #1: (laughs) “I’m Shannon Souza and I’m running for the Senate here in Oregon.”
Woman #2: “And I’m with her!” (big smile)
Me: “You need a shirt that says that.” (everyone laughs)
Shannon went on to tell me what her focus would be on (healthcare, affordable housing, etc), which sounded like things a Democratic candidate would say. So I thought I would save both of us some time…
Me: “I’m registered to vote but am not affiliated with any party. I’ve always weighed both major party candidates and picked whichever one I think is best. It used to be from both parties but with the way things have been going it’s getting pretty easy to decide who to vote for. So I have to ask, which party are you running under?”
Shannon: (slight pause…) “I’m running as a Democrat.”
Me: “Thanks! We need people like you to fight against the NAZIs on the right. There’s really no need to talk any further about this, you have my vote.”
Both ladies: “Wow! Thank you very much!
Me: “My wife and daughter are both registered like I am and I am sure that you have their votes too. Same with our son, a registered Democrat. I don’t speak for them but I do know that, like me, it will be a cold day in Hell before we ever vote for a Republican again.”
More expressions of gratitude, I took a flyer and we said our good byes. I wish her luck, we need people in office who care about other people.
The look on her face when I called the right NAZIs was something to behold. Up to that point she didn’t know my political leanings and being the county we are, the odds were that she was going to run in to a Trumphumper who would chase her off.
I think I made her day. :)

And his religious marks are so scared of the Loss-of-God problem that they’d rather have a hypocritical liar reinforce their idea of “God” than have an honest person simply tell them that she doesn’t care about their “God”.
So, I’ve had this earworm all day (can’t imagine why) and, because I’m a sharing kind of person, now you can have it too. You’re welcome.

Fuller Seminary to Sell Pasadena Campus, Relocate in Move to Address Financial Concerns
Experiencing a decline in full-time students and rise in online enrollment, Fuller Theological Seminary in California has announced that it will sell its 13-acre campus in Pasadena that has been the school’s home for 70 years.
[…]
The move to Pomona has many benefits for Fuller, according to Labberton, including “the elimination of all debt,” a lower cost of living for students and staff and a “sizable increase” to the school’s endowment.
[…]
The LA Times reports that Fuller’s Pasadena campus will go on the real estate market in the next 30 days and could be sold to one single buyer, multiple buyers or real estate developers.
[…]
Fuller is not alone in experiencing a decline in campus enrollment. According to a by The Association of Theological Schools, seminaries across the U.S. experienced “nearly a decade of decline” in enrollment before it “stabilized in the last two years, with an uptick in full-time equivalent students.”
[…]
Put simply: The Pasadena campus is in a very choice location: goo.gl
Not only is Pasadena much more desirable real estate than Pomona real estate, the Pasadena location is right off of major freeways and in a commercial shopping area.
Retail property in the Pasadena area is about $300/sq.ft. If Fuller has 13 acres, that is about $170 million worth of real estate they are sitting on.
No wonder the school says selling the property will substantially increase their endowment.

Texas Tech Frat Members Call For Hunting Immigrants In Racist Group Chat.
At Texas Tech University, a group of fraternity brothers’ violently racist, immigrant-hating group chat has been made public, sparking an investigation by the school. In the conversation, labeled “Frat Chat,” they called for hunting “illegals” for sport, sending a firing squad to the border, and partnering with ICE for a “philanthropy” event.

Another pissant, Alex Provost, claimed that he knew ranchers who had killed border-crossers and buried them under “cattle graves” on their property. I think they mean “cattle guards” but in any case the Texas Rangers should have a talk with this boy.

Scarborough hasn’t used his show even once to issue an apology.

A few notes:
A person can be banned from a murder trial’s jury pool for being opposed to the death penalty (in such a state where that penalty exists).
LGBT have always been hated by conservatives (except when they could be used by them).
Even allegedly deep red states like mine have large numbers of liberals, so when someone says “I hope that state burns” or whatnot, they’re condemning us too.
South Dakota is a complete lock for decades with Sinclair, FOX, and Christian hate radio. It’s newspapers are all conservative (including the area of SD which is in the circulation area of my paper). SD used to be a liberal state. Propaganda is a helluva drug.
Instead of ‘Death to America,’ Iran is now just posting photos of migrant children in U.S. cages (goes to The Week).
Good job, conservatives.
“Iran state TV no longer needs to broadcast slogans against America,” U.S.-Iranian journalist Borzou Daragahi noted. Now Tehran “just shows handout pictures distributed by U.S. [government] itself.” Those who live in free-press-less houses, of course, have no business throwing stones. But the Iranian government is surely not the only repressive regime delighted at this propagandistic own goal.
