Yeah because more guns are always the answer. Why don’t you just divorce Chris and marry a gun already you stupid gun junkie.
re: #1 Patricia Kayden
I think the answer is banning white guys from owning guns.
Seriously it’s like people like her have no idea that armed people can be caught off guard. Read the history of the Battle of the Bulge or Sgt York’s story rather than the NRA’s propaganda written by fake macho men and women who like to act tough but would shit themselves if ever in a real situation with a gun man.
re: #1 Patricia Kayden

The NRA full employment plan: everyone has an armed security guard with them, 24-7.
Three shifts round the clock. And nobody’s safe.

Banning Dana from talking about guns would work too because she knows nothing about them and just uses them to push the NRA’s sick agenda of encouraging hoarding.

Every one of those Keyboard KKKomados would be too chicken to walk into a recruitment office to serve their country.
Yup. And for the few who would, when I was a Navy Recruiter during the run-up to the Persian Gulf War, the one or two people who walked into my office saying “I want to kill those [insert racist epithet here]” were folks I turned away.
Okay, now this is funny.
Putting the needs of the many ahead of the desires of an individual? What kind of crazy talk is that? I’d like to quote the Bible in support of my argument:

we don’t need more guns and we sure as hell don’t need a culture that tells people that everyone is a potential murderer. But that’s exactly what Dana, Ollie, Wayne, & the other bedwetters at NRA HQ want. Who’s the real snowflake?

The point of people working for the NRA is to draw fire away from the NRA and toward the spokesmodel as a lightning rod.
The March for Our Lives folk have the correct strategy: Ignore the spokesmodels (except when they spread falsehoods) and go directly after the NRA itself. The NRA does not know how to respond to that line of attack.

My biggest question about a Trump memorial is will it be a single toilet stall or will they set up a trough so it can serve more people at once?
I’m reminded of an old joke.
Stalin/Hitler/King Ferdinand/The Czar (the name varies) went to a fortune teller and asked “Can you tell me the day of my death?” The fortune teller said, “You will die on a Jewish holiday.” Stalin/Hitler (etc) asked “Which holiday would that be?” “ANY DAY YOU DIE WILL BECOME A HOLIDAY!”

I’ve never despised a President like this one. Bush? Yeah I hated his guts for the Florida shannjgans, pushing homophobia to win re-election, Iraq but I could be civil if I ever found myself in his presence. Trump is an embarrassment not just to the country but the human race as a whole.
His Gallup approval tommorow is going to drop to the mid-30s I think. I really believe that the past couple of weeks have forced a lot of people to throw in the towel.
re: #46 fern01
Legal/illegal - why on earth does it matter? Those killed are still dead.
It matters because if he owned the gun illegally, well, all of the gun control in the world won’t matter because criminals will still get guns. If he owned the gun legally, well, it’s a sad tragedy, but he doesn’t represent the majority of gun owners and therefore gun control won’t matter.

McCain allies said they did not expect an outpouring of praise from Trump after their contentious past.
“It certainly doesn’t bother me or the people I know close to John,” Weaver said. “I don’t think it bothers John one bit. If we heard something today or tomorrow from Trump, we know it’d mean less than a degree from Trump University.”
Ooof.
I think they should play the song that they play at his rallies: “sympathy for the devil,” cause he’s going to hell.

I think my question was rhetorical - but I do understand why they do it - it is just the most pointless mind numbing activity. I would also doubt that any state (perhaps excepting NY and California)has a complete set of records related to the ownership of guns.

Yep. Sorry Bill. I get that you respected McCain but this is definitely the realization of the movement you’ve spent years in. Maybe just maybe if instead of encouraging people like Limbaugh, Trump, and others that you actually called them out, you wouldn’t have to deal with the fact that the French President and Canadian PM have spoken better about an American hero’s passing than the President. And the fact that many Democrats have spoken so well of him should show you how the bullshit that you and the other Reaganites pulled didn’t change our character.

What a lot of conservatives that do despise Trump need to do is do some introspection and look at why someone like Trump became acceptable to their party and movement. Ask themselves how a party that nominated genuine heroes like Dole and the first Bush and even Reagan/Nixon would embrace such a man. Hint guys, it wasn’t because we liberals forced you do. You had a movement for years that told your base that we liberals hated America, disdained the men and women who serve this country in uniform, that we think the US deserved 9/11. You could have said something when people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, etc were making their names in the Clinton years but you said nothing. Maybe just maybe the whole conservative movement you tried to build after Goldwater’s ascension was and is a sham. That doesn’t mean every last conservative idea is wrong or unAmerican mind you but it does mean that conservatism since 1964 requires self-reflection.

The trouble with Trump funeral songs is that I would hate to associate anything good with him, even if the song’s message fit. Maybe they could just play a recording of a diarrhetic rat, over and over at max volume.
When conservatism stopped being about balanced budgets, localized but effective government, and instead became the ideology of propagandists like Limbaugh and others, that’s when it started becoming the shit show it is today and people like Kristol needs to see that men that they hold to high standards like Reagan, W.F.

It’s dependent on how many wingnuts get randomly selected for polling. All things being equal, his support or lack thereof has been nearly constant for months.
I think conservatism for all my problems with it ideologically can be effective. The problem though is this stupid cult of GOVERNMENT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!! from people who also want to us the government to push their version of morality on the rest of us. People who would have the government prohibit same sex marriage but also discourage higher education funding. People who would support high sales taxes that cripple the working classes but oppose any tax increase at all on the wealthy. That’s modern conservatism. And its ugly face has been around long before Trump was a thing.

If you’re going to beat us, beat us on ideas rather than attacking the service record of someone oyu dislike politically. I don’t remember 1996 at all but I doubt there was anything but respect to Dole as there should have been, Bob Dole was our last WWII vet to be nominated by a major party and his service record deserved nothing but respect.

re: #87 HappyWarrior
The older concept of conservatism is dead. It was murdered via a slow acting intellectual poison of a populist concoction. No matter how less horrible or wonderful it was before, it’s a rabid zombie of what it once was.
At this point concepts such as ‘limited government’ is a euphemism of rabid anti-government hate. “Low taxation” is based on a foundation of ‘taxation is theft.’ Liberty is a foundational concept as long as it’s for white people.
I thought I was conservative nee libertarian for a time. Then I realized I was a crass ego-driven asshole.
The whole your favorite President thing is creepy as hell to me. It just reminds me of “Dear Leader” and how other dictators like to be called with titles like “Father” or some crap like that. Trump thinks we’re here to serve him. His predecessors including ones I vehemently disagree with got that it was the opposite. Public service isn’t about serving the country for Trump, it’s about using the public to serve Trump.
Texas Man Allegedly Shot Women Drivers Because He Doesn’t Believe Women Should Drive
This freakazoid shot a woman outside a car wash on July 10, then bailed out and did it again within 48 hours.
His bond has been increased to $400,000.
Police say Dagostino has confessed to shooting as many as five women drivers in the area, and that he specifically targets women because he doesn’t believe they should be permitted to drive. According to a local ABC News affilliate, court documents say Dagostino wrote a number of Facebook posts in which he reportedly “rants and rambles on about female motorists and how incompetent they are and that their sole purpose is to give birth to male children.”

He shouldn’t be allowed bond, period.
I’ve brought this up a couple times before recently, so apologize for the redundancy, but as I listen to the Crimetown podcast I really am struck by similarities with Trump, his world view (if you can call it that) and his fans. Today I listened to the episode about Raymond Patriarcha’s death. They had a guy on talking about what a sweet man he was, a guy who took care of everybody on Federal Hill in Providence; he talked about how all those poor people who got a turkey at Thanksgiving and oil in winter when they ran out came out in the thousands at his funeral.
That is exactly how organized crime works.
I was in Japan not far away when the Kobe earthquake hit in 1995. The fucking PM Mori was on a golf course. The government couldn’t react to help immediately on the streets. Who showed up right away with blankets and soup? The yakuza.
When you either take away the ability of government to respond or corrupt government in how it responds, you create fertile ground for groups like the mob to take advantage. They “come to the rescue”; they provide the stability the cops no longer provide; people see that Thanksgiving turkey and think, “hey, at least the psychopaths were thinking about me!”
It’s not just Trump, though he is trying to make it happen if but through instinct. It’s the whole GOP. Keep up the grift that shifts wealth to the 1%, claim we can’t afford to pay for entitlements, then watch the neo-mob move in. Pay-day lenders, insurance scammers, reverse mortgagers, etc.
ETA: I forgot about the podcast parallel with supporters. With Patriarcha, it wasn’t “he could shoot someone on 5th ave.” He literally ordered multiple murders and the mass of his community didn’t give a shit. That’s where we are with Trump.

Ask themselves how a party that nominated genuine heroes like Dole and the first Bush and even Reagan/Nixon would embrace such a man. Hint guys, it wasn’t because we liberals forced you do. You had a movement for years that told your base that we liberals hated America, disdained the men and women who serve this country in uniform, that we think the US deserved 9/11. You could have said something when people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, etc were making their names in the Clinton years but you said nothing. Maybe just maybe the whole conservative movement you tried to build after Goldwater’s ascension was and is a sham. That doesn’t mean every last conservative idea is wrong or unAmerican mind you but it does mean that conservatism since 1964 requires self-reflection.
On that:
Sunday Sermon: Conservatives Keep Up With Two Big American Traditions - Ignorance and Lies (Goes to Freethought Blogs, more at the link about “what is conservatism”):
What is a “conservative”, anyway? If you search around, you’ll find a variety of definitions, most of which seem to be incoherent ideological laundry lists.
The problem with having an ideological laundry list as a political agenda is that you don’t necessarily have some kind of unifying belief system that motivates that laundry list. Let me give you an example, from one definition of “conservative”: [google]
Holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.
That’s a huge dodge because it implies there is an underlying ideology but there isn’t: the ideology is whatever the past’s ideology was. So if you’ve got a nazi conservative talking to a conservative Jew, you have two conservatives, right? The implication of fitting them both under the same umbrella-term is that they agree - but I suspect that if you put those two conservatives in the the same room together for a few hours, they would discover deeper disagreements than the “conservative” label might lead one to expect.
We encounter them regularly, though: “conservatives.” My general response when I encounter a conservative is to start immediately interrogating them about the parameters of their conservatism, while slowly segueing toward Emo Philips’ delivery in his famous “golden gate bridge” joke.

When conservatism stopped being about balanced budgets, localized but effective government, and instead became the ideology of propagandists like Limbaugh and others, that’s when it started becoming the shit show it is today and people like Kristol needs to see that men that they hold to high standards like Reagan, W.F. Buckley, and others had a big part in that transformation.
Put another way, when it stopped being about governing as one of two parties in a democracy and instead became a constant quest for power and seats at any cost

re: #102 BigPapa
The older concept of conservatism is dead. It was murdered via a slow acting intellectual poison of a populist concoction. No matter how less horrible or wonderful it was before, it’s a rabid zombie of what it once was.
I suppose that depends on what you define as “conservatism” (they sure can’t).
Self-described conservatives fought on behalf of the Crown in the Revolution. They supported slavery. They fought on the side of the Confederacy in the Civil War. They were the robber barons of the Gilded Age. They supported Jim Crow after Reconstruction ended. They opposed women’s right to vote. They were the temperance movement which banned alcohol. They opposed that “jazz weed” and made it illegal on racist grounds. They oppose women’s reproductive rights (and for that matter, everyone’s reproductive rights) now. They support tearing down the wall of separation between Church and State. They have always opposed legal immigration.
What part of conservatism that is suddenly new that I missed?
re: #87 HappyWarrior
I think conservatism for all my problems with it ideologically can be effective. The problem though is this stupid cult of GOVERNMENT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!! from people who also want to us the government to push their version of morality on the rest of us. People who would have the government prohibit same sex marriage but also discourage higher education funding. People who would support high sales taxes that cripple the working classes but oppose any tax increase at all on the wealthy. That’s modern conservatism. And its ugly face has been around long before Trump was a thing.
You have to go back to Eisenhower/Nixon to find conservatism that isn’t just a scheme to funnel more money to the rich at the expense of the poor and the national debt. Conservatism hasn’t been effective in real life on a national scale for ages. The dream of an effective conservatism is dead.
I’ve never been a conservative so I’ve never had to justify it in my own mind, but that’s just my own old hippie viewpoint.

re: #111 Barefoot Grin
I’ve brought this up a couple times before recently, so apologize for the redundancy, but as I listen to the Crimetown podcast I really am struck by similarities with Trump, his world view (if you can call it that) and his fans. Today I listened to the episode about Raymond Patriarcha’s death. They had a guy on talking about what a sweet man he was, a guy who took care of everybody on Federal Hill in Providence; he talked about how all those poor people who got a turkey at Thanksgiving and oil in winter when they ran out came out in the thousands at his funeral.
That is exactly how organized crime works.
I was in Japan not far away when the Kobe earthquake hit in 1995. The fucking PM Mori was on a golf course. The government couldn’t react to help immediately on the streets. Who showed up right away with blankets and soup? The yakuza.
When you either take away the ability of government to respond or corrupt government in how it responds, you create fertile ground for groups like the mob to take advantage. They “come to the rescue”; they provide the stability the cops no longer provide; people see that Thanksgiving turkey and think, “hey, at least the psychopaths were thinking about me!”
It’s not just Trump, though he is trying to make it happen if but through instinct. It’s the whole GOP. Keep up the grift that shifts wealth to the 1%, claim we can’t afford to pay for entitlements, then watch the neo-mob move in. Pay-day lenders, insurance scammers, reverse mortgagers, etc.
ETA: I forgot about the podcast parallel with supporters. With Patriarcha, it wasn’t “he could shoot someone on 5th ave.” He literally ordered multiple murders and the mass of his community didn’t give a shit. That’s where we are with Trump.

And I was referring to this.
“NRA Spokeswoman Dana Loesch Defends Trump By Comparing Him To Al Capone”
My point was that the conservative view that helping the underprivileged leads to dependence so it should be cut off also leads to the vacuum that allows organized crime to come in and thrive.
To me, American history is defined by progress versus keeping the status quo or worse returning to older times. Subsequently, I feel as AM has illustrated better than I can at the moment that American history is riddled with examples of liberals being the champions of the progress that has defined our country for the better and conservatives opposing said progress. Sure, conservatives talk NOW about how they venerate MLK and the Civil Rights Movement or abolitionism etc but at the time, they fought it and as a liberal, I’m proud to be a descendant of the movement that fought to abolish slavery, for labor rights, for civil rights for ALL, etc.
I’ve been occasionally checking to see if a Presidential Proclamation comes up on the White House Website on the death of Senator John McCain, but in light of Natasha Bertrand’s reporting I guess that is a futile effort.
I know my own state governor won’t do anything Trump doesn’t do first, so Nebraska isn’t going to see a proclamation either.

I was proud as hell in 2008 how both Obama and Biden never let anyone campaigning on their behalf go after McCain’s service record.

If you’re going to beat us, beat us on ideas rather than attacking the service record of someone oyu dislike politically. I don’t remember 1996 at all but I doubt there was anything but respect to Dole as there should have been, Bob Dole was our last WWII vet to be nominated by a major party and his service record deserved nothing but respect.
Dole was also a hero of science. Two years after World War II ended, he was hospitalized for a persistent infection of the very severe arm wound he had suffered in Italy. A new antibiotic, streptomycin, had just started human trials. The first subject died. The second one survived but was permanently blinded. Young Dole volunteered to be the third subject. He made a full recovery.

But the churches and Trump-recognized ‘charities’ aren’t giving anything away or helping, either. Everybody’s raking in money, but none of them want to turn it loose after they get it.

Didn’t know that. Wow. And Dole recently celebrated his 95th birthday I believe. It’s hard for me to believe that when I first started paying attention to politics that there were still WWII vets like Dole in office and now they’re all gone.

The CNN biography of McCain is on.
It is comprehensive.
I’ve been seeing some conservatives/libertarians I know use Venezuela as somehow proof of the fallacy of Democratic socialism and I’ll admit ti here, I don’t know if Nordic style programs would necessarily work in the US due to our size compared to those nations. However, I never see them acknowledge that capitalism can be just as unDemocratic given conditions. Capitalism or Socialism doesn’t make you free, it’s what your government actually does for its people that makes you free and that can be a mixed economy or that can be a more socialist economy.

Whenever I read conservatives/libertarians suggest charity, I am reminded of the constant stories I read about how corrupt many charities are. I concede that government is far from perfect but you can get much more transparency from government in a way you never will from the private sector or non-profits simply because we can replace the people who run the government. Nothing internal is stopping a crooked board from stealing funds meant to help people.

I tell them “Don’t lick the dial. Don’t snort the dust”. Still they ask “Is it safe to keep it in my bedroom?”
You know, if you’re gonna worry about it, DON’T BUY A FUCKING RADIUM DIALED WATCH!!!!!

JFC. I owned a radium-faced watch for years as a teenager. Manufacturing them may have been a bit dodgy (depending on the safety practices, or lack thereof, of the specific manufacturer), but owning and wearing one has never been a problem.
re: #188 Backwoods_Sleuth
I had a feeling that Cindy was going to be appointed.
I wonder how long she would hold the seat.
Arizona requires that the Governor appoint a member of the same party, but also require the election of a replacement at the next general election period (no specials) to finish out the vacating member’s term. But, as AZ holds their primaries next week(?) I’m not sure if they could run a separate primary process in time for Nov.

Except the one leader whose words should matter more than any other: his own fucking President.
Goddamnit, I hate Trump.
Motivational Speech o’ the Evening:
I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor, that’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say “Do not despair”. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish … Soldiers: don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate, only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers: don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty. In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written: - “The kingdom of God is within man” Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men; in you. You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let us use that power. Let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfill that promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! In the name of democracy: Let us all unite!
Damn. Learn something new everyday. You know who held John McCain’s seat before McCain showed up? Barry Goldwater.
re: #43 I Would Prefer Not To
What song do you think should be played at Donald J Trump’s funeral?
Back in the U.S.S.R.
when the man dies any song will make me happy.
I haven’t read all the posts after yours, but my choice would be no song at all, because I don’t believe the man ever had a note of music in his soul in all his life, unless it was “mi, mi, mi.” As for the rest of us, on his going I think “Hallelujah Chorus” or “Ode to Joy” would do the trick.

I believe Arizona law provides a minimum period before a “general election” to fill a Senate vacancy. John McCain survived in the seat long enough to meet the provision that his appointed successor (whether Cindy McCain or someone else) will serve until the next general election after that, (2020), so two years at least.
CNN reporting John McCain requested that both George W Bush and Barack Obama deliver eulogies at his funeral.

re: #199 The Vicious Babushka
This is the same phenomenon as “Jesus”.
That name is applied to whatever ideal super-human the believer wishes. So to some “Jesus” hates communists, while to others “Jesus” hates capitalism.
In the same way, in today’s America the word “conservatism” has taken this role as a totem-word. It simply means whatever the speaker wishes, dependent upon what they want. These same people do so with the word “liberal”.
Which is why I like to throw out the irony that in Australia the “Liberal” party is considered the major “conservative” party.
Fundamentally what is happening is that to us humans words can be magical. Words are magic. C.f. Harry Potter and the training of the children at Hogwarts to learn the exact phrasing of magical words.

I understand your point but Trump would just make the tragedy worse though. I’m still fuming about him throwing paper towels to Puerto Ricans after Hurricane Maria. Moron.
The tax cuts probably came a little too early for Trump’s longterm good, but the hyper-greed class was demanding action and the GOP Congress responded. The negative fallout from those cuts; drastically reduced capital investment, inflation, increased speculation, negative wage growth, etc. will arrive in time to destroy Trump in 2020, and the GOP with him.

Even “better” for the GOP will be the continuing damage done by the economic illiteracy of the tariffs. The price hikes in steel and aluminum & etc haven’t really had a chance to filter down to the consumer yet and when the do… wham! People gonna start saving beer cans again.

Good point. I was focused on the voodoo cuts and forgot all about the tariffs. Combined with record deficits they will push inflation through the roof.
This raises a thorny question though: Should we still care about the homeless when huge masses of MAGAts find themselves destitute and living on the streets? Would it not be too easy to remember the hate and contempt they spewed on the poor in earlier times?
