Looking at the side bar, this seems like a very big deal: Tribune Media Terminates $3.9B Sinclair Deal, Files Lawsuit:
Sinclair Broadcast Group’s $3.9 billion takeover of Tribune Media, which would have created a local TV giant reaching nearly two-thirds of U.S. TV households, is dead.
Tribune Media made the announcement early Thursday, with analysts expecting that it will now look for a different buyer for its 42 TV stations, network WGN America and other assets. The news comes after a series of developments that cast doubt over the transaction, which had been unveiled 15 months ago.
Tribune said that it “has terminated its merger agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. and that it has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court against Sinclair for breach of contract.” It added: “The lawsuit seeks compensation for all losses incurred as a result of Sinclair’s material breaches of the merger agreement.”

Fake Green Party Candidate Exposed as Having Ties to Republican Congressman
The former Green Party candidate in a congressional race has been exposed as a Republican plant with ties to the GOP congressman he supposedly sought to challenge
Michael Zak petitioned to run under the Green Party ticket in New York’s 27th congressional district, a seat currently held by Rep. Chris Collins. Zak’s candidacy petition listed as the official contact person Ross Kostecky, a local Republican operative who interned on Collins’s 2009 campaign for Erie County, New York executive, The Daily Beast has found.

your conscience can only bother you if you think you should have voted for one of the other options available- ie trump
as in most elections, there were only so many choices
consciences guides you to your sense of the rightness or wrongness of your decisions / behavior in the circumstances - the situation you are faced with

re: #2 lawhawk
I’m not 100% disagreeing, but I think there’s more to it than that.
Trump sells empty triumphalism. “The best” as a notion, not as an quantifiable measure.
He targets people who want to feel a certain way—better in the sense of superior—and thus consume (purchase, vote for, invest in) so that they can merge their identity with the qualities they attribute to what they consume.
There are people who eat caviar and smoke cigars because of the immaterial qualities atrributed to them—cachet, image, prestige. There are people that buy shitty real estate because they can be convinced it’s a smart move that will make them big shots…and people who think they’re smarter than the average schmuck because they’ve just been convinced to jump into an new investment (emu farms! gold!).
Bower birds thinking. Aestheticism plus narcissism. Buying the sizzle not the steak.
But…
There are nationalists who view every new shiny weapon as a personal win, and government who sell martial strength as an ego enhancer. Look at how DPRK presents each new missile.
This is the latest US version of that. Militarism as performance piece. Real, very dangerous devices and strategic decisions being made to create a feeling of power and being in control.
This is not just a distraction, this is the stupid shit that people caught up in protecting their own egos do…on a national scale.
It’s the same instinct the loves the military as a symbol, but refuses to address the reality of war—it’s hard, it’s ugly, you’ll get hurt even if you win—and the reality of soldiers suffering.
At best case scenario, Space Force is another scam, and we need to start looking at where that money goes, and what companies are lobbying for what, and what’s being invoiced. But…we are governed by a narcissist who’s at the head of a coalition of groups defined by narcissistic and eliminationist thinking. They want this because it’s a shiny new demonstration of their total power…a novel exercise over life and death…continuous with all of the other ways that they insist that their whims are the only law.
I’ll bet there are still hundreds/thousands of tweets in violation of Twitter’s rules among the many Infowars-related accounts, of course.They’ve been spreading this poison for years.

Yeah, there is a LOT unsaid said here: while cancellation of big-money mergers aren’t, of themselves, uncommon, the Sinclair/Tribune deal seems to be something different, in that:
1) It would have been a major media consolidation.
2) The deal was (AFAICR) considered virtually a done deal (pending the usual regulatory hurdles, which are normally irrelevant)
3) The “acquiree” seldom resorts to the courts for anything .
Not that seeing RWNJ media giant Sinclair lose out (on anything) is particularly bad news - it’s just that this announcement seems to be missing (or ignoring) a number of background factors. Probably on purpose.

There’s an argument to be made that something like this would be much less likely to happen in a modern constitutional monarchy or even a unitary parliamentary republic vs our system with an independent/strong executive branch.
A Prime Minister as head of government would probably be much easier to toss aside than the separately elected head of a co-equal branch. Also, those systems tend to have stronger party apparatuses, which would make the rise of someone like Trump much less likely.
There’s plenty of reasons so few other nations have a system like ours, and this is probably moving up the list.

My yet unwritten libertarian manifesto would have the working title of “The Balance of Liberty” and most of it would be explaining that the two extremes aren’t “tyranny” and “liberty” as so many glibertarians argue, but between “tyranny” and “license/anarchy/oligarchy”.
Yeah, with such a large population, you will inevitably get collectives of some sort. And collectives can roll over and crush individuals.
Getting some sort of dynamic balance seems to me the best operating principal to navigate such a world.

The “Tyranny” of government is imposed by people that the general population can (at least theoretically) vote out of office if they don’t like what the government is doing. Get a gLibertarian to agree that the general populace should be able to vote corporate management out of office if they don’t like what their corporations are doing, and maybe I’ll listen to whatever else they have to say.

To me, the problem with most philosophies is that they don’t account for what we can actually observe happening in the real world. For example, neither Marxism nor Libertarianism survive the first guy who figures out how to cheat.
I just think that teh libertarian movement has way too much faith in business to do the right thing and I don’t like worship of capitalism. I don’t like worship of socialism either. I want an economic system that works. And the sooner we get away from arguing socialism, capitalism, the better off we’ll be.

I had a discussion with a Libertarian once. He told me that, under his system, companies wouldn’t be allowed to exploit workers. But, no enforcement mechanism.
I asked, “Who’s going to stop them? What if they’re the ONLY employer in an area? Workers can’t just leave.”
He said, “But they’re not ALLOWED to exploit workers!”
Well, okay then. That’ll stop ‘em.
Libertarianism/Objectivism could only work in a situation where everyone already had enough to eat, shelter, healthcare etc., so that nobody HAD TO have a job, because once you’re in a “have to” situation, your freedom to, for example, turn down a job where you think the conditions are unsafe, is essentially gone.
The problem comes with worship of the SYSTEM, rather than the goals. What’s the point of the market? To provide for the needs of the population, to encourage advancement of individuals and the society, to create wealth for individuals and the society. Okay, so Capitalism, of all the proposed economic systems, probably does that best. BUT left to itself, Capitalism inevitably concentrates wealth and that leads to exploitation of the less wealthy. So, you need to regulate it. A clear-eyed, objective analysis makes that obvious.
But if you worship The Free Market, you can’t accept that it’s not self-policing. And you’ve substituted BELIEF for KNOWLEDGE.

Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I remember little glimmers of a story that I read as a kid, of ants building themselves into an antberg in a river, which ran into a cow, and ate it. Or took it home in tiny pieces, as ants do. I don’t remember the details.

re: #178 JordanRules
My gawd.
I noted the raid when it occurred yesterday, in an article from our regional newspaper. It was about 150 miles northeast of here.
In addition to those seized by ICE, a number of owners of businesses connected with that raid were seized in Minnesota and Las Vegas, charged with money laundering, wage theft, and tax evasion.
starherald.com (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald, more at the link):
O’NEILL, Neb. — Federal immigration enforcement officers swept into this rural area on Wednesday morning, detaining dozens of workers from a local tomato greenhouse complex, a potato processing facility and a cattle feedlot.
In Nebraska and elsewhere, the operation by Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials snared 133 workers suspected of being in the country illegally, as well as 17 people connected to an alleged conspiracy to exploit illegal labor for profit, fraud and money laundering.
Federal search warrants were served as far away as Las Vegas and Minnesota in connection with the conspiracy. One man was led in handcuffs out of an O’Neill Mexican restaurant, and search warrants also were served at businesses or farms in Ainsworth, Bartlett, Royal and Stromsburg.
Tracy Cormier, special agent in charge of Homeland Security’s St. Paul, Minnesota, office, said the raid culminated 15 months of investigation and described the operation as one of the largest in Homeland Security Investigations’ 15-year history.
“I would say the amount of criminal warrants that are being executed will be one of the largest for HSI,” Cormier said. “I’m not aware of a bigger one.
“These targeted businesses were knowingly hiring illegal workers to unlawfully line their own pockets by cheating the workers, cheating the taxpayers and cheating their business competitors.”
The conspiracy, according to a federal court indictment, revolved around the owner of a popular O’Neill Mexican restaurant, La Herradura, and grocery store.

The Right used to say that Obama was a polarizing figure. It wasn’t because of anything he’d done. It was because they hated and feared him.
Trump is a far more polarizing figure. People hate and fear him because of everything he’s done.

If you think you’re having a tough week, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was injured during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. He then went to Nagasaki and was describing the Hiroshima bombing when the bomb exploded over Nagasaki. He survived two atomic bombings.
That was 73 years ago today.— JRehling (@JRehling) August 9, 2018
The “luck of Kokura” is proverbial in Japan. This is because it was a target for BOTH atomic bombings, though not (as is often claimed) the primary target for both.
It was the secondary target for the August 6th mission. If Hiroshima had been clouded in, the plane would have diverted to Kokura (which was in fact clear at the time). It was the primary for the second mission, on August 9th, but it was clouded in and the mission diverted to the secondary, Nagasaki.

When I went to get my new iPhone the salesperson who was helping me looked at my phone and was surprised that is was in near mint condition. I did point out to her the very small dent on the underside corner. Even with that she was impressed how good it looked. This is why I always put my phone in an Otterbox and get a screen cover.

The notch.
Yeah… it sounds dirty, but in reality it’s about Google identifying a design standard for the phones where other manufacturers have to abide by it. It’s about maximizing available space on the screen and leaving room at the top and bottom for the microphone/speaker/camera, but allow additional messaging to be placed around the notches.

It’s about Apple having to have some place to put the lasers for face recognition, so the iPhone X has a notch in the top of the screen. This was apparently the crime of the millennium, judging by the online screaming about it.
Now a lot of Android phones are copying the notch so they’ll look like iPhones, despite it serving no purpose for them. This is OK, it would seem—no bitching to be heard.
