Well we know that the corrupted Supreme Court will side with the Republicans in both instances. This is why the next President has to expand the Court from 9 to 15.

One of the things I got to do in Nashville was visit the grave of Johnny Cash, one of my all time favorite performers.

It’s not a fancy place. He and June are buried in a relatively small cemetery just northeast of the city off a busy thoroughfare right next to a really good coffee shop.

He has like all the worst attributes times 100 of his predecessors and none of their best. He lacks Nixon’s intellect, he lacks Ford’s openness, he lacks Carter’s faith in the American people, he lacks Reagan’s charisma, he lacks Bush I’s commitment to public service, he lacks Clinton’s ability to compromise, he lacks Bush II’a ability to not be spiteful to those he disagrees with, & he lacks Obama’s understanding of law.

re: #6 Backwoods_Sleuth

I don’t think Israel should have annexed the Golan Heights.

I don’t think the US should recognize the annexation.

That said (although DT probably couldn’t tell us why they’re critical to Israeli security on the best day he ever had), they really are at least very important to it, because they’re the high ground, and in enemy hands would seriously handicap the defence of Israel.

So I don’t think Israel should consider giving them back until Syria becomes a friend. And I’m not holding my breath.

There’s a chance this could get to the federal courts under the republican guarantee clause, which says that the federal government will ensure that every state has a republican form of government; and my guess is that this kind of law would be struck down on those grounds (I also vaguely recall there being some case law on this point already, but rather old)

Correct. AOC and I were both born before the USSR ceased to exist but our childhoods were in the post USSR and the Clinton world where a President would be impeached over perjury about a blowjob. I’m not going to get into arguing whether it was right or not, the point is that there wasn’t the sense of bipartisan cooperation that existed to those that came of age before. AOC like me cast her first presidential vote for Obama. Who was as she points out smeared as a socialist. The word socialist has pretty much been used liberally on every Democratic candidate that she and I would have voted for. Not that Bill, Gore, and Kerry weren’t called tax and spend liberals, they were but the red baiting as we know it began with Obama. And frankly the stupid red baiting is I think why a lot of young people got curious about socialism. I don’t see myself as a socialist. But I really don’t see myself as a capitalist either. I don’t like assigning a label to economic solutions. Economic solutions shouldn’t be ideological. They should be about what works best and sometimes gasp that is socialist.

In order to understand aoc, you have to look at what she experienced— and what she didn’t. Red Scare, Reaganomics & prosperous 90s were all before her time. Her adulthood was defined by financial crisis, debt & climate change. No wonder she and her peers are moving left

Back when they were competing with Communism as a world ideology, Capitalists had to put up some sort of pretense of humanity. But with the fall of the USSR, World Capitalism dropped any concern for anybody except their own. Their ugliest side came out and although our economy is growing, it is benefiting fewer and fewer people.

The thing is to a Millennial, the word “socialist” does not immediately conjure up images of the USSR. We’re told by those on FNC and on the right that we should love Capitalist and see Socialism as our enemy. But when we look at what has passed for Capitalism in the past 25 years, we have massive deregulation, the financial crisis, etc. And on matters that impact us personally like high tuition. It’s why even though I really dislike Bernie Sanders, I get his appeal to young people and I think it’s foolish to see his supporters as just being ratfuckers. A lot of them are sincere about their disgust with the current ecoomic system. The problem though is that A that system isn’t going to be fixed overnight and B that Bernie is a terrible person to fix it and C) the problem isn’t all Capitalism as Bernie would like to make it.

Which is why the Capitalists that don’t have their heads up their ass can see the good FDR did. If we had done things their way, the 1930’s would have been a lot worse. And dare I say, some of them may have not been so lucky with their lives. It’s definitely spot on to bring up the wealth disparities that do exist in our society as well as the fact that there are executives who give themselves a bonus more than their employees make in a year. I’m fine with executive bonuses from time to time but I feel you shouldn’t be able to give yourself a raise without giving your employees one and especially you shouldn’t be able to give one if you do layoffs.

Annexed it and started building settlements on it…that is the part that irks and ensures that no lasting peace is likely.

My thoughts exactly.

The Six Day War was illegal under international law. That said I have a lot of trouble blaming Israel for their actions. I even understand why they kept the Heights after the war.

But by establishing settlements on it, and kicking off the people who lived there, Israel made the war from a strategic necessity to plain, old fashioned theft. It became, in my mind, “The Court would have accepted your plea of self defence but you reloaded…twice.”

ETA: Also, very few people in the Middle East want peace despite their loud proclamations. What they want is victory. A different thing altogether.

The Pitchforks Are Coming
by Nick Hanauer

But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution.

And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won’t last.

If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.

So why do we still have a Congress when Trump just bypasses them to rule by decree?

Trump would love to have an Emperor Palpatine moment, but losing the House meant a lot of people would be angry.

Hello.
OT musical interlude.
Remember this?
It’s been that long ago.
I remember my son bought the CD and I borrowed it to take with me in my bunky big rig 1200 mile round tripper.
Never knew about hidden tracks. Somewhere in the late night early morning interstate machine it went past the listed tracks and then this seeps out…and I thought it was the radio on a far away country show….jarred me…because I went somewhere past the last mile marker i remembered.
Wound up learning it and singing it the next hundred or so miles.
Brilliant.

You might need to go through some of your other CDs Nines. There are a few with hidden tracks.

One of my favorites is Blur’s Peach hidden a minute or so from the rest of the album (CD). It sort of reminds of The Beatles Good Night on the White Album…a good closing.

Scientists Discover Dangerous Link Between Book Learnin’, Back Talk

TUSCALOOSA, AL—Confirming decades of speculation concerning the potentially disruptive effects of runaway literacy, scientists at the University Of Alabama published a study Tuesday establishing a definite and potentially dangerous link between the practice of book learnin’ and increased back talk. “According to our data, processing information from these highfalutin’ books has a direct correlation to getting a little too big for your britches and turning into a real sass-back,” said professor and co-author Jedediah Lee Lutz, noting that participants who gleaned moon-eyed ideas from reading were much more likely to get notions way above their raising. “There appears to be a clear connection between book learnin’ and acting like you plum don’t got no horse sense.” Lutz recommended that concerned authority and parental figures simply smack them book talkin’s right out the offending party’s fancy little mouths.

sacked as an administrator for 8chan. How absolutely vile this guy must be.

Moon — an alt-right, anti-feminist, pro-white Trump supporter who claims he set up Kiwi Farms for the “gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes” — published the exchange with Detective Michael without bothering to hide the officer’s email address.

(snip)

Before he founded Kiwi Farms, Moon was sacked as an administrator for 8chan for allegedly promoting paedophilia. He is notorious for his online stalking and harassment campaigns, which have featured threats to “rape, murder and dismember” his mainly female victims.

In 2016, Moon was linked to a series of online threats to harm children in Florida, where he shares a home with his mother, forcing dozens of schools into lockdown.

Does the US have an ambassador in NZ? Isn’t there some 5-eyes sharing of info they have a right to call on, that the US DoJ can access the data without this guy’s permission?

If we had a decent president and a decent administration, he’d be up on charges here for giving material support to terrorists.

Luxury brand Gucci is making waves online with an $870 pair of “distressed” sneakers designed to look like they are already dirty.

The Screener sneakers, available on Gucci’s website, have been “treated for an allover distressed effect.”

The company offers special instructions for cleaning real dirt off the shoes, which were inspired by 1970s basketball shoes, without harming the faux-dirt.

I have a better idea: Get an entry level job at a fast-food place. They will get your shoes dirty in no time, and not only will they not charge you, they will actually pay you instead (though not much).

I have an old pair of white New Balance sneakers. They look like they have seen better days. Do you think I could get a few dollars for them?

I just got a new pair of New Balance sneakers (black). They fit great but SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK. Should be called SQUEAKERS because it’s impossible to sneak up on somebody.

Cute family VB.

Love the little football.

Is that commercially made, or did someone make the football outfit by hand?

Baby football outfits are surprisingly (or not) ubiquitous.

I remember when my younger sister’s son came to visit us wearing his Little Steeler’s Uniform. Yes he had the helmet, eye slick, shoulder pads and uniform on. Mom and I had a good chuckle seeing him act like a football player.

Yeah I can get that feeling. My preference for that moment is to throw on a whole album at maximum; London Calling, Who’s Next or New Day Rising usually.

Unless I am in a more metal mood. Then the Blue Oyster Cult get’s broken out…

I’ll admit that while I got the diss on the duo, I didn’t remember Ahasuerus and had to google it. That lead me to this article Trump is not Hitler and he’s not Haman, he’s Ahasuerus and that was a good bit to read. Thanks!

Why? I figure they’re just using it to replace her with a younger, crazier, blonder model.

At 1:32pm NZDT, following the Muslim call to prayer at 1:30, a two minute silence will be observed throughout New Zealand.

On a lighter note, the following board has been outside Trax Bar & Cafe in Wellington Railway Station for the last few days.

Ayep, we’ve been here before. They’ll rant about how “If Hillary got away with it, why should we care if Jared or Ivanka did it?!” and insist that it’s perfectly “legal” to do the very thing they still believe with all their hearts that Hillary deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison for doing.

Wingnuts have a WHATABOUT for everything that Trump does, even if the WHATABOUT is utter horse shit. The whole point of a WHATABOUT is to change the subject.

re: #47 HappyWarrior

Nixon did after all serve in uniform during WWII and I think he was concerned with what he thought were the country’s best interests. So yeah I would agree.

My first presidential vote was in 1972. I have always voted for the Democrat for president, but from Nixon to Romney in 2012, I have never felt that the guy I voted against did not have what he believed to be the best interest of the country at heart even if I disagreed about what those best interests were. That changed in 2016.
