A Reminder From Samantha Bee: The Muslim Ban Is Still a Thing [VIDEO]
You likely don’t remember 2017 because it was nearly 100 weeks ago, but the Muslim Ban is still a thing and it’s still ruining lives.

And Trump claimed it was “temporary.” There is so much vileness to this administration.
This ruling against the #WIPowerGrab is badly needed. But is likely going to be appealed, and Scott Walker’s judicial cronies are going to be reviewing it.
This makes it all the more critical for Wisconsin to elect @JudgeNeubauer to #SCOWIS next month. https://t.co/4vMhezjE4a— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) March 21, 2019
DeSantis completely owns the courts in Florida, so if the bill gutting #Amendment4 passes, it’s pretty much too late to do anything about it. We have to stop it in the legislature.

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.
1) The U.S. is the creator and enforcer of international norms. This move undermines credibility for the U.S. in Crimea, Donetsk, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia to name a few.
2) Israel has an election in April. Trump is clearly meddling to benefit Netanyahu. https://t.co/Lx4jDEQ9o6— Alex (@Wonko_the_sane_) March 21, 2019

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

re: #76 HappyWarrior
I think that may be a big part of it too. The GOP has tried and I think with some success to frame the working class as just white guys in pickup trucks. It’s been pointed out that the working class in fact is a lot more female and racially diverse.
so now we’re taking that away from them too

re: #27 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
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.
I’d rather see a debate about Yang’s guaranteed minimum income idea.

may be a subtle point though you are getting at it
- its not the inequities of rich vs poor or haves vs have nots
- its the concerted, almost craven effort to keep the have nots from ever having
its not that the rich wont let the other classes get rich and become, gasp, equals or members of the club
it’s that they wont even let the lower and middle classes earn a fair life on their own, while bothering no one.

re: #82 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Chancellor Bismarck gave Germany’s workers the world’s first state pension and health insurance in 1889 in order to stave off the Socialists and co-opt their program. And it was followed by a massive economic boom.
Here in America, the Democrats and the Roosevelt wing of the Republicans co-opted the Socialist Party’s platform in its entirety, and that’s the world we live in now—that the current GOP is trying to destroy:
Government to be financed by a graduated net income tax, direct election of US Senators, Public schools paid for by taxpayers and run by elected school boards, Unemployment and Workman’s Compensation, Public parks and recreation areas, Initiative, Referendum, and Recall….

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?

*Channeling my Robert Newton: “Arrrr! Thar’s a Portingale galleon off’na port bow, Zarr!”
Good idea, CREW.
CREW has launched a tracker to see which candidates have released 10 years of tax returns and which have failed. All candidates should release their full returns for the last 10 years. It’s just basic transparency. How is that even necessary to say? https://t.co/FJXoFiWI4n

It’s interesting, the age gap between me and AOC is the same as the age gap between me and Kamala Harris (within a couple of months). I’m right at the line of demarcation for GenX and Millennials, so I can often see things from both sides.
I’m one month younger than Obama. He was born on Aug. 4 1961 and I was on Sept 7 1961.

“Sources familiar with the investigation believe there are no more indictments coming from the special counsel.”
Not sure if I buy it. Given how tight a ship Mueller runs, very few people would be privy to that info.
I’ll put it in the pile with ‘the investigation will wrap up in early December’ for now. We’ll see.
Proof positive that too many people have way too much money:
Gucci selling $870 sneakers designed to look dirty
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 bought a pair of Diesel ‘distressed’ sneakers in Amsterdam last year. Cost me 45 Euros and they look way better than the Guccis.

re: #202 BlueGrl21
Found an old CD mix thing I’d made back in 1988. It’s all NIN, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, and other industrial music.
I realized I had been perpetually pissed off from ages 16-22.
I thought I had mellowed, but I have regressed during the current administration. I feel the return of my youth.
X, Husker Du, The Clash, The Who, The Ramones, Patti Smith Group, Boston, The Velvet Underground & Lou Reed solo & David Bowie were the soundtrack of my youth’s anger. That was in the 80 ~ 82 time frame. I think a few people are still confused that I could leave for the army in 1982…

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.
