The best we can hope for realistically is a strict party line vote on the Kavanaugh nomination. This piece of crap will be dispensing injustice from a SCOTUS seat for decades, and it would be really fucking helpful if Democrats could say “none of us voted for this piece of shit”.

Click to Reveal

The father of one of my good friends in Detroit owns a specialty clothing shop - a beloved, and uniquely Detroit spot that sells furs, church hats, gator shoes and matching suits etc. He used to take racks of stuff to her house so she could shop in private. He sold her the coat in that pic Pete Souza posted from the 2015 Gospel performance at the White House.

My friend has some great stories like her 70th Birthday party where she had ditched her shoes and was greeting guests in barefeet with her glorious ball gown. My friends Mom accidentally stepped on her feet while going in for the hug, then again when they were talking later on. After that, her Mom said Aretha damn near ran away when she saw her coming.

According to the right…

Robert E. Lee, like all the other Confederates, was only fighting for States Rights, not to preserve slavery. And Lincoln and the Union were fighting to impose a strong Federal government on them and run roughshod over their Constitutional rights.

Also…

The Confederates were all Democrats, and the Union were Republicans.

Hubble Paints Picture of the Evolving Universe

Astronomers have just assembled one of the most comprehensive portraits yet of the universe’s evolutionary history, based on a broad spectrum of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope and other space and ground-based telescopes. In particular, Hubble’s ultraviolet vision opens a new window on the evolving universe, tracking the birth of stars over the last 11 billion years back to the cosmos’ busiest star-forming period, about 3 billion years after the big bang. This photo encompasses a sea of approximately 15,000 galaxies — 12,000 of which are star-forming — widely distributed in time and space.

The “northfield” image:

Personally, I think we SHOULD have had some sort of event on or around November 11, - and a military parade (of sort some) would not have been inappropriate. as Nov. 11, 2018 will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War*, and marking it would be (IMO) a nice gesture.

But of course, inasmuch as our “President” is an egomaniacal charlatan with little understanding of history (or much of anything beyond self-aggrandizement and marketing fake glitz to rubes), no such luck….

Mr. Trump’s claims of no collusion are, in a word, hogwash.

The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of “Trump Incorporated” attempted to defraud the government by laundering and concealing the movement of money into their pockets. A jury is about to deliberate bank and tax fraud charges against one of those people, Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman. And the campaign’s former deputy chairman, Rick Gates, has pleaded guilty to financial fraud and lying to investigators.

ADVERTISEMENT

Mr. Trump clearly has become more desperate to protect himself and those close to him, which is why he made the politically motivated decision to revoke my security clearance in an attempt to scare into silence others who might dare to challenge him. Now more than ever, it is critically important that the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and his team of investigators be allowed to complete their work without interference — from Mr. Trump or anyone else — so that all Americans can get the answers they so rightly deserve.

John O. Brennan was director of the Central Intelligence Agency from March 2013 to January 2017.

Lady Aretha had an amazing way of covering someone’s already killer song and totally destroying the original version, in a good way of course. For example, her cover of Stevie Wonder’s superb song, Until You Come Back To Me, blows Stevie out of the water (sorry, Steveland). And her sisters Erma and Carolyn were always so powerful and miraculous singing in the background. This is pure Aretha Franklin, one of the very greatest artists of our time.

I am honored to have lived in her lifetime.

But I do think that the Russian e-mail about dumping Security Clearances for twelve former IC staff two days before the first dump is an indication-

of part of what Drumpf and Pootin’ talked about in Helsinki.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Trump’s busy backtracking and lying his ass off (I know, it’s a day ending in Y).

He’s got to do something to avoid getting Omaroasted (can’t take credit for that) with yet more tapes showing that after she got fired from the WH, the Trump campaign wanted her to work with the campaign for $15k a month to keep quiet.

Yeah, this is one huge grift and con. But she had the receipts. They’re all fucking corrupt.

But what’s the latest lies and backtracking?

It’s that the idiot’s idea of a parade turned out to cost nearly $100 million (or like 10x Trump’s claimed costs - which were still too damned high for a vanity show). He wants to blame DC for the costs, when the reality is that it takes a shit-ton of logistics and planning to get military assets and resources to appear in a parade. It undermines military readiness as assets are out of place should they be needed, and it diverts critical resources.

But Trump wants his vanity parade. The Pentagon punted, hoping they’ll never have to do it.

So Trump’s now claiming there’ll be a parade at Andrews and then another one in November in France to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of the War to End All Wars™. He’s such a buffoon that he thinks the parades are for him.

Even as he and the GOP shit all over veterans and are looking to gut health coverage and mental health coverage, he wants the money not spent on the parade to go buy planes.

The parade would cost about $100 million.

A brand new F-35 would cost: about $100 million. In other words, you might get a single plane (except acquisitions are paid for from different accounts than operations, like his idiotic parade). He doesn’t have a clue what anything costs, and then rails when the costs are high.

He’s a threat to the nation, and the GOP loves it because while Trump gets the attention, they’re busy gutting the safety net and undermining public health and the regulatory apparatus that keeps polluters in check, attempts to stop companies from screwing employees and customers, and protects people from predatory lenders.

I don’t necessarily agree. I think it will only firm up the 60% vs 40% split in the US between non-nazis and nazis. Since apathy tends to be on our side, I think anything that fuels our 60% even if it equally fuels the 40% is a good thing, because I believe that ultimately numbers are on our side.

That said, a country with 40% nazis has a huge problem, that goes way beyond Trump. If a clown like that can raise to the level he reached, I shudder to think what a smart nazi might achieve.

The Religious Right also has its own agenda, which they put in place as soon as Ronald Reagan ditched them as soon as Nancy’s White House astrologer told her that the stars were right to do so: they have been insinuating their people into all levels of public life: government, public administration, education, the military, etc.

Mike Pence represents their ultimate triumph, a proper Fundamentalist theocrat a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

I hope he gets so covered in shit from his association with the Trump Administration that his 2024 Presidential campaign flops as badly as Quayle 2000.

That is why the whole Omarosa-and-the-N-word blowup is a net win for Trump. It will not do him any net damage and it will have distracted us for another several news cycles.

People are not on the N word tape. They are on the one with possible campaign finance issues and obvious bribery.

But more importantly than that…

The news cycle hasn’t distracted Mueller or any of the people on the ground doing the actual work including elected and campaigning Dems, civic groups like the ACLU (who have won tons of legal battles against this admin while you repeat this empty refrain) and March for Our Lives/Mom’s Demand(who have actually helped pass gun reform while you repeat this empty refrain), protesters at the White House and local Congressional offices, Pro Publica and Mother Jones are still doing major investigative reporting, Rachel Maddow has educated her audience on the Manafort trial everyday, voter registration groups have been working their buts off at every event they can from NFL summer camps to Lady Gaga concerts. State AGs are continuing to sue the admin as needed. More Dems voted in the last set of primaries than Republicans.

Yes, we know; people like us that follow politics and know a little about Trump.

The constant drumbeat of corruption, which her tapes seem destined to help confirm from right inside the White House, tears at the supporters that are teetering. They help add to the Mueller investigation too.

That investigation and the overall cloud of corruption are the key to bringing him down. It will not be the “N” word.

And frankly, he wasn’t that great a general. Manpower was a precious scarce resource for the Confederacy; in the 1860 Census, there were only about 1.1 million white males between 15-40 in the states that would secede, about a quarter of the number in the free states. And Lee repeatedly launched attacks that cost him huge numbers of men; his 1862 invasion of Maryland was a bloody disaster he barely escaped from after Antietam, and Pickett’s Charge was an utter disaster Lee insisted on attempting.

My guess is that if were were left up to President Man-Baby himself, he’d be pushing for his BFD military parade regardless of the cost* - what it looks like is someone in the WH got a look at the real $$ numbers, and managed to convince Napoleon Trump that spending scores of millions on a uniformed ego-boost like he was planning would be bad optics: and, unusually, the Toddler-in-Chief went along with it.

Manpower issues were only one of them: the Confederates had a number of structural disadvantages (inferior manufacturing capability, a crappy transportation infrastructure, minimized export capability, etc.) - the amazing thing was thought to be that Lee was able to do as good as he did.

If he’d tried to push, he understood that the army would collapse and Lee would be given a second chance. No, I think he made the right choice. Grant commanded a very different army in 1864 than the very battered one Meade had in 1863.

n light of all the political correctness and leftist hysteria, I’m curious about what you think: How should Robert E. Lee be remembered?

This is the sort of question that calls for a nuanced answer, and nuance died a long time ago.

One could point out that he was sincere in his belief that his cause was just and he was honorable in the way he defended it. He was offered the position of Supreme Commander of Union Forces and turned it down only after long deliberation and soul-searching.

But then one would also have to point out that history has shown that his cause was based on human oppression, and despite his honorable intentions, he did great harm to his nation by fighting against it.

But do not try to explain that to a guy in a pickup truck with a gun rack and Confederate battle flag waving proudly…

Which is easier if the electorate stays small. OTOH, when people start paying attention, the electorate gets larger, and therefore it’s harder to get that 20% of the voters. It also means that the other number, what was 30%, drops as a ratio.

The Religious Right also has its own agenda, which they put in place as soon as Ronald Reagan ditched them as soon as Nancy’s White House astrologer told her that the stars were right to do so: they have been insinuating their people into all levels of public life: government, public administration, education, the military, etc.

Mike Pence represents their ultimate triumph, a proper Fundamentalist theocrat a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

That’s a nice reminder that the White House has been full of idiots before. Trump/Omarosa has the awful reality-TV thing going, but ditching religious fanatics because an astrologer told you to is just as stupid.

This is the sort of question that calls for a nuanced answer, and nuance died a long time ago.

One could point out that he was sincere in his belief that his cause was just and he was honorable in the way he defended it. He was offered the position of Supreme Commander of Union Forces and turned it down only after long deliberation and soul-searching.

One could point that out, but it would mostly be false. Ignoring the belief, that whole forcing black captives into slavery and refusing to trade them as prisoners isn’t exactly honorable. And he wasn’t offered the position of Supreme Commander, he was offered command of the national capital defense forces. But other than that, nuanced.

The Religious Right are the foot soldiers of the GOP. The billionaires supply the money, but the GOP still needs volunteers and, critically voters, since money still can’t vote. The GOP has to run on culture wars, because very few people are going to vote for more tax cuts for billionaires, and the GOP has no positive agenda to help anyone who isn’t in the top 1%.

This is so very true with all the craziness around Andrew Brunson, the pastor who has been incarcerated in Turkey. Now I think the Erdogan regime is crazy, thinking that this pastor would collude with both the Gulenists and the Kurds, but Trump’s (and Pence’s and Pompeo’s and Mnuchin’s) reactions are way out of proportion to what’s going on here. It’s because Brunson has become a symbol of their culture war.

It will have no effect on the outcome of the primary.

He’s on pace to handily win against Nixon. I have to give credit to Nixon to get Cuomo thinking about issues he’s long overlooked.

He’s got serious flaws - both in his signature issue of infrastructure, and on some other policies. Sticking with just infrastructure, he runs the MTA with an iron fist, and the failure to control construction costs means we are spending far more for transit upgrades than we should expect. It costs several times more to build subways in NYC than anywhere else in the world. It’s not about complexity underground either - because Paris and London are older than NYC and yet their rail projects cost less than half per km rail built. Get our costs in line with European average and we could build more than 2x as much - get 2A subway done in a fraction of the time.

Instead of working with DeBlasio - they’re attacking and undermining each other at the same time - paddling against each other when the city needs them to work together to get transit working.

His fixation on bridges and car travel has meant that we lost opportunity to do mass transit on the TZ Bridge (and I wont call it the Cuomo bridge either, and that’s as a fan of Mario). He also fudged the numbers to get that bridge built and we still don’t have a clear picture of how it will be paid back.

Then there’s the ongoing pension mess and rampant corruption across the legislature.

He could help there as well - but wont. He should be calling for a full time legislature that doesn’t allow any outside work, but it’s going nowhere.

I didn’t understand the dust-up over Cuomo’s comment. It was a set-up line and people groaned and moaned before he could get to the punch line.

I think America has always tried to be great, but we are humans so we fail. But we try, and try, and that is great effort.

Trump certainly is not making it great. And Cuomo was speaking for women and people of color. I bet they understood the setup line from the get go.

His fixation on bridges and car travel has meant that we lost opportunity to do mass transit on the TZ Bridge (and I wont call it the Cuomo bridge either, and that’s as a fan of Mario). He also fudged the numbers to get that bridge built and we still don’t have a clear picture of how it will be paid back.

Then there’s the ongoing pension mess and rampant corruption across the legislature.

He could help there as well - but wont. He should be calling for a full time legislature that doesn’t allow any outside work, but it’s going nowhere.

I was referring to the presidential primary season, what a mess he’s made of your state.

To be historically nit picky, my understanding is that the Pyramids were built by skilled craftsmen, not slave labor. But your point about the U.S. is accurate.

That was my understanding as well. The workers were being paid, or had volunteered their labor. The slave labor concept has pretty much been abandoned by Egyptologists.

I didn’t understand the dust-up over Cuomo’s comment. It was a set-up line and people groaned and moaned before he could get to the punch line.

I think America has always tried to be great, but we are humans so we fail. But we try, and try, and that is great effort.

Trump certainly is not making it great. And Cuomo was speaking for women and people of color. I bet they understood the setup line from the get go.

But it is all a part of the times. Everyone is quick to pounce. It makes it tough to get a message out sometimes.

in retrospect, “maga” was a brilliant bit of marketing

the proof is in that it has stuck

it’s short, pithy and easy to remember
it forms a sort of word
it harks back to a mythical and unspecific time and so can mean anything to anyone
therefore looking forward, it can aspire to whatever anyone wants it to mean

No doubt. That is how you create controversy…edit to get what you want.

I bet Fox uses it all the time in that manner. It’s like Jimmy O’Keefe is head of editing.

And like I said, people pounce too quickly which is the exact reason the editing you speak of works.

It is just like reading only the headlines and first juicy paragraph in a written piece. No one ever gets to the actual story…they already fainted or went in to a rage.

re: #276 lawhawk

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Trump’s busy backtracking and lying his ass off (I know, it’s a day ending in Y).

He’s got to do something to avoid getting Omaroasted (can’t take credit for that) with yet more tapes showing that after she got fired from the WH, the Trump campaign wanted her to work with the campaign for $15k a month to keep quiet.

Yeah, this is one huge grift and con. But she had the receipts. They’re all fucking corrupt.

But what’s the latest lies and backtracking?

It’s that the idiot’s idea of a parade turned out to cost nearly $100 million (or like 10x Trump’s claimed costs - which were still too damned high for a vanity show). He wants to blame DC for the costs, when the reality is that it takes a shit-ton of logistics and planning to get military assets and resources to appear in a parade. It undermines military readiness as assets are out of place should they be needed, and it diverts critical resources.

But Trump wants his vanity parade. The Pentagon punted, hoping they’ll never have to do it.

So Trump’s now claiming there’ll be a parade at Andrews and then another one in November in France to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of the War to End All Wars™. He’s such a buffoon that he thinks the parades are for him.

Even as he and the GOP shit all over veterans and are looking to gut health coverage and mental health coverage, he wants the money not spent on the parade to go buy planes.

The parade would cost about $100 million.

A brand new F-35 would cost: about $100 million. In other words, you might get a single plane (except acquisitions are paid for from different accounts than operations, like his idiotic parade). He doesn’t have a clue what anything costs, and then rails when the costs are high.

He’s a threat to the nation, and the GOP loves it because while Trump gets the attention, they’re busy gutting the safety net and undermining public health and the regulatory apparatus that keeps polluters in check, attempts to stop companies from screwing employees and customers, and protects people from predatory lenders.

Trump is having a very bad day. Three black women are stealing all his headlines.

….
Bluth’s ruling became public today when Denson tweeted a copy of the order. It is notable because Denson is representing herself and still defeated the Trump campaign’s lawyers.

Manafort Trial:

If the judge actually said that, he’s dumber than I could have ever thought.

The last line, in particular, you mean (about not realizing the level of public interest in the trial)?

If Manafort is convicted, those jurors definitely will need their privacy protected.

I gotta admit, when I think Eric Prince and mercs, I think if the scene in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, where Cap’s in the elevator in the Triskellion, and a bunch of black ops guys keep getting on.

“Before we start this, is there anyone who wants to get off?”

Yes.

Kinda stupid if you ask me.

The moral goalposts have sure been moved mighty far to accommodate the thrice-married, pussy-grabbing, Russian-colluding, justice obstructing White guy in the WH.

The President’s Campaign Manager is being tried for enough financial crimes to die in jail at a ripe old age, but it’s not something most folks will care about…

I’m just catching up to this Agent Orange vs. napalm story. It’s hard to keep up with the sheer quantity of Trump incompetence.

This probably doesn’t help the judge, but I bet he’s never had a case that more than a couple of dozen people paid attention to. And since, for the most part, his courtroom is his world, the wider world out there probably has come as a bit of a shock.

re: #483 Dr. Matt

The “Catholic League” is a bullshit org. It’s nothing more Bill Donohue and a couple staffers. It has no real standing in the Catholic Church and most Catholics do not even know it exists (coming from a Catholic family).

Though you’re quite right about the bullshit, I’ve always wondered about the CL: Donohue always claims that they have “thousands” of members nationwide (all Good Catholics standing up in defense of the name of Holy Mother Church, of course) - but their actual membership numbers are pretty opaque. They (well, Bill Donohue, anyway) CAN be counted on to jump up and squawk at any hint of “anti-Catholic bias” anywhere: though how they think seeming to defend pedophile/abuser priests (and the coverups thus engendered) is going to improve the Church’s PR is a mystery….

And even those people think of Trump as a “fucking idiot”.
