From the last thread:
re: #163 austin_blue
Unfortunately, the State Department has listed the Kurdistan Workers Party [PKK] as a terrorist organisation for a very long time. As long as that listing remains, Kurds become a convenient scapegoat when any nation in the region wants to slag them (by claiming every Kurd supports the PKK).
Carrying over from the last thread: Yes, I did audition for Canadian Idol back in 2004. I felt kind of bad because I did it just as a “shits and giggles” thing and made it farther than other people who had been practicing for weeks.
As mentioned I did sing “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot and here’s the Youtube proof (keeping private because it shows my real name):

Rep.

I cannot reiterate, at any level, the rage I feel, and what a punch in the mouth is to the Kurds.
This is a complete abandonment of our fiercest and most trusted ally in the Middle East over the past 15 years of the war against Iraq/ISIS.
They were instrumental in liberating Mosul and driving ISIS out of their territory in Syria. They fought and died for us.
Not to mention that we allowed Saddam to gas them by the thousands after the 2001 war. We threw them under the bus before. We owe them a tremendous level of support now, and we have abandoned them.
This is just the stupidest thing we have ever done as a foreign policy decision that I can remember.
If I was the Kurdish government, I would do my best to burn the US down to cinders. We deserve it.

I’m out for now. My wife wants to watch a heartwarming Christmas film (“Scary Movie”).
So tonight while playing Red Dead Redemption 2 I happened to ride by a random KKK meeting where they were inducting a new member. I sat there on my horse and listened to them for a bit then threw a volatile fire bottle into the middle of the bunch and watched them all burn. While I was looting their bodies I found a meeting note where one of the agenda items was something like “can we find a way to make our robes less flammable?”

re: #35 Alephnaught
Looks like Gatwick is closed until at least midday today. Stupid stunt.
To give you yet another detail about this administration, we Americans in China got a bulletin today from the embassy saying the president was directing all embassies to close Christmas Eve. Generally the embassy in Beijing only closes Dec. 25, so I’m not sure if.this is some kind of policy change or a last minute Christmas gift before he shuts the government down.
Getting out of Syria was no surprise. I’ve been campaigning on it for years, and six months ago, when I very publicly wanted to do it, I agreed to stay longer. Russia, Iran, Syria & others are the local enemy of ISIS. We were doing there work. Time to come home & rebuild. #MAGA

Off-topic: The Veterans Administration added my wife as a dependent, meaning I get a modest about $200 increase in my disability next month.

re: #41 Michele: Out of the closet and into the fire
Bridges for one. Like 54,000 of them at the start of 2018. But the republicans refuse to fund the repairs/replacement.
It would be nice if they replaced one of the bridges I regularly use here. Max weight 9 tons.
Lisco State Aid Bridge (goes to Wikipedia, more at the link, with photo):
The Lisco State Aid Bridge is located on a county road over the North Platte River south of Lisco, Nebraska. Completed in 1928, the bridge today “is distinguished as an important crossing of the Platte River and one of the last two intact multiple-span state aid truss bridges” in Nebraska.

Democrats Plan Separate Fix For Voting Rights Act To Make Chief Justice Roberts Happy (goes to Huffington Post, more at the link):
The big reform package on voting rights, campaign finance and ethics that House Democrats plan to pass in January will not include a reauthorization and fix to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, along with outside voting rights litigators, will support moving the Voting Rights Act measure separately to ensure they build a legislative record that will show why the law is still necessary when it faces court challenges.
“Everybody wants to make sure that they do this right and in a way that will not only be a stronger fix for the Voting Rights Act but also will be able to withstand any constitutional challenges,” said Wendy Weiser, director of the Democracy Program for the Brennan Center for Justice.

Trump’s about to fuck himself royally as our allies in Syria - the Syrian Kurds - who would be fucked by Trump’s hasty retreat from Syria - are considering a release of 3,200 IS prisoners and their families.
Top officials of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Kurdish-led and American-supported militia fighting the Islamic State in eastern Syria, met Wednesday to discuss the option of releasing about 1,100 Islamic State fighters and 2,080 relatives of the group’s members, according to Rami Abdul Rahman, the head of the Syrian Observatory on Human Rights.
Mostapha Bali, the spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces, or S.D.F., denied there was any discussion of releasing prisoners from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. “Any news coming from such sources is not reliable and is not coming from us,” he said.
But a Western official from the United States-led coalition fighting in Syria, which includes more than a dozen countries, confirmed that such discussions had taken place.
Let that sink in.
Trump thinks he won Syria.
Russia, Assad, and Iran are cheering the decision.
Our allies are like, fuck this.
That Erdogan and Bibi think they’re cool with this speaks volumes to how both are cozying up to Putin while recognizing that Trump’s pulling the rug out from under them.
Bibi thinks that Russia will help Israel in the long term. He’s as delusional as Trump is these days. Erdogan’s an autocrat in waiting, and will play power politics so long as it means getting rid of the Kurdish threat (and this move will help with that goal as Erdogan considers the Kurds a greater threat long term than IS).
Path today might be putting $5 billion in wall funding on the House floor, likely going down — to prove it can’t pass

So Ryan and the GOP caucus have to do a vote where they go on the record showing they don’t have the votes for a wall, so they can pass a clean CR with ZERO wall funding because Trump can’t/wont do math (and for a change Ryan managed to whip the caucus to know they don’t have the votes either without actually doing the vote).

But how many votes do they need to pass this? If both Democrats and Republicans are out of town, is it possible that the funding for the wall will pass because, e.g., only 200 people are available to vote and 101 will support this?

Maybe: but he still seems to be hedging his bets by urging the Orange Imbecile to veto the funding CR.
Of which veto the results are likely going to be:
A) Congress having to hang out and re-hash Trumpian idiocy over “The Wall”.
B) A pre-holiday government shutdown. Blame for which is universally assumed to be going to fall on Trump and the GOP.
C) A veto override (followed, I would guess by a very hasty adjournment). Another embarrassment for Trump/GOP.

For people who bought on the Jan 2016 down side (Trump effect started then when it became clear that Trump was a real threat), there is still quite a bit of profit-taking to be had, several thousand points on the DJIA.

Substantial misunderstanding, or perhaps lack of appreciation, of mathematics always manifests itself in markets.
Most people just buy into the idea of a “return” measured in a percentage of the initial investment. Say a 5% “return”.
But that can’t go on forever, because that assumption assumes an exponential (correctly used term here) curve describes “wealth”.
But that cannot happen in the real world of molecules, planets, etc.
The DJIA, and so many other markets, have to go through serious corrections from time and time.
And the follies of governments, or in this case Trump, just triggers reactionary movements in investors.
