Repeating a soapbox of mine: Trump did not spontaneously appear. He emerged from the collective American swamp, the sum of all the ids of the atavists and bigots.

Furthermore:

Nobody who is likely to play MegaMillions needs $104M. Some companies in trouble may need that much money. But more deceptively, even winning tonight’s jackpot will not get you $104M. So if you just happen to “can use” $104M, tonight’s jackpot won’t do because if you take the lump sum you’re left with $35M to $40M after taxes, far short of what you “can use”.

My obsession with lotteries aside, this is so emblematic of our America in 2019: we don’t expect the truth, we don’t want facts.

We are fully into the type of lying that Madison Ave. perfected decades ago.

re: #397 Jebediah, RBG

I was already living in L.A. when Kurt passed. Pretty soon after, there were people talking all these wild-ass rumors/theories that Courtney had either killed him or driven him to suicide. I asked why, then, wasn’t that in the press and why hadn’t she been arrested? CUZ EVERYONE IS SO SCARED OF HER!
So you’re telling me that every law enforcement agency up there and down here (where she was living) is so scared of Courtney that they are letting her get away with murder?
Didn’t get much of an answer to that…

Didn’t kill him - but she had been bugging the shit out of him. To be fair, he needed to go to the rehab in Venice that he eventually just broke out of. Then again, Courtney was a hot mess - she was holed up in the Peninsula Hotel (where a friend of mine was a security guard), and had shot up a mix of heroin and Valium, and had to be taken to the nearby Century City Hospital when that went wrong and she started convulsing.

They left behind a trashed hotel room and a whole bunch of cassette tapes of songs they had been working on together. I have one of the cassettes out in my garage. Wonder if anyone would want “Unreleased Kurt Cobain Demos”?

Kurt & Courtney had been renting the old Tom Mix villa on top of a hill in Los Feliz (it’s the one with the gold leaf ceiling in the ballroom). It was known locally as “The Jimi Hendrix Mansion” because Jimi had living in it for a while back in the 60s.

There were all kinds of decapitated doll heads lying around, and a ton of drawings and fragmentary lyrics. The owner had gotten stiffed on the rent, and spent a year or so, trying to peddle all the junk to collectors, trying to recoup his money, before Courtney’s lawyers slapped him with a cease-and-desist.

Hot mess indeed - I am related to someone who taught Frances Bean in elementary school. Motherhood was a big challenge for her.

EDIT: I imagine lots of people would be interested in unreleased demos

I have empathy for the situation - life hasn’t turned out how they expected because of things that they had no control over. Factories closed, jobs went away, etc. But, you know, that happens to everyone.

It’s been popular for a long time to bash Detroit as a place that was ruined by Democrats and by “Those People”, and to show all the empty houses and shit. It’s especially popular among people who now find themselves in the same situation as the people of Detroit - jobs went away and aren’t coming back, but the people are still there.

But instead of saying, “Cripes, now I get it!”, a lot of them double down and want to blame everyone who doesn’t look like, talk like, pray like or love like them. And that’s where my empathy sputters out.

I’d almost find it worth the trouble to run for President if only say that yes I am a Christian and that if a fundamentalist evangelical heretic (IOW 99% of them) were on fire, Christ would not even piss on them to put it out. I’d also want to get a chance to ask Graham The Lesser if he hoped to someday become a Christian or if he preferred being the most successful creator of atheists in America?

I’m trying to figure out if the president even has standing to try to get a court to block the release of his tax returns. The law is explicit. The IRS “shall” provide congress with the tax returns of ANY person upon request. I don’t actually see how the president fits into this at all. The request isn’t being made of him. It isn’t being made of one of his political appointees. It’s being made of a branch of government. Wouldn’t the IRS have to try to block the request?

Honestly, as someone who grew up on the Gulf and Atlantic, swimming at night is a horrible idea, sharks not withstanding. You loose your ability to accurately triangulate your position to landmarks on the shore way too easily in the dark. Then you’re just one unexpected tidal shift or random current away from drifting way beyond your ability to make the shore.

The ocean at night is a terrifying entity. And it doesn’t care about you. At all.

re: #49 steve_davis

Detroit wasn’t ruined by Democrats and “Those People.” It was ruined by upper management that sold people shitty cars for roughly 50 years and finally paid a price for it.

Detroit’s automakers suffer from the same malady as most of corporate America: they only look as far as the next fiscal quarter or fiscal year. IOW they focus mostly on short-term goals — profits and dividends — and pay lip service to long-term goals — R&D and the future of the automobile in the USA. China has automakers, which, as a counter-example, are aggressively manufacturing and marketing commercial electric vehicles in the EU. A subsidiary of Geely makes the new hybrid London taxis. BYD electrified and modernized the classic double-decker London buses. As another example, VW will bring three EV models to market by 2025, including electric versions of the VW Microbus/Transporter/Kombi, the Golf, and an SUV. Meanwhile, US automakers are scaling back domestic production of sedans in favor of urban assault vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks. Sure, some models are electric or hybrid, but those are just decorations for a gas-guzzler cake. It’s the same short-sightedness that hit Detroit hard during the gas crisis of the mid-70s, when pretty much all they had were gas-guzzler models. Suddenly, car buyers found those funny looking foreign cars a lot more appealing.

Corporate America has used advertising and marketing to shape American consumers’ tastes for decades. Imagine if they used that ability to convince Joe PickupTruck and Jane SUVSoccerMom that electric vehicles (or at least cars with better gas mileage) are a viable alternative and in fact are the future of the automobile.

Only if they have a direct - and large enough - financial incentive to do so. Otherwise, the American auto industry is probably more likely to flex its considerable advertising and marketing muscle to do what they’ve been doing for decades: i.e. wrap them in the Flag, and convince Joe and Jane Public that huge, heavy, gas-guzzling behemoths (not coincidentally the ones with the highest profit margins) are the only cars Real Americans(tm) should ever buy.
And, if that strategy proves disadvantageous to domestic producers vis-a-vis electric vehicles? Well, that’s what punitive tariff regimes are for……

Your comment reminded me of an observation I made during our 5 1/2 month snowbird trip to the lower 48.

Driving on the Interstates, I noticed a lot of auto/truck and recreation vehicle (RV) dealers. I was astonished at the size of the inventories of unsold vehicles that a majority of the dealers were maintaining. There were multiple auto/truck lots that had to have over 500 car/trucks in their inventory. Same with the RV dealers. Many had over 150 Rvs that were unsold. And these were expensive ($100K +) models.

I have questions:

Who’s going to purchase all these vehicles?

Have American consumers tightened their belts?

Have the manufactures over-produced for today’s market?

Is this an indicator of a slowing economy?

I guess time will tell.

Being a car dealer is a thankless job. The automaker requires you to have all those cars in stock and expects you to sell them all before the model year ends. Then, when the model year ends, you’ve got all of last year’s models to sell as loss leaders.

They weren’t held accountable when McConnell blocked any attempt to check Russian election interference.

Republicans are above the law.

There’s some serious cross-pollination going on here, musically. This is BlackPink, a South Korean group.

Telling the Feds months after they executed search warrants on your home and office, “Hey guys! You missed all this stuff I just remembered I had!” does not seem like a winning strategy.

On PSA they said that this is reportedly all from seized material that the FBI returned to him.

I don’t think anybody understands it.

They weren’t held accountable when Tricky Dicky had Claire Chennault sabotage the Paris Peace Talks until Tricky got into the White House.

They weren’t held accountable when President Pruneface and his Pals looted the Savings & Loans, flooded South Central Los Angeles with Contra Cocaine and gave arms to Iran.

The Democrats did lie us into the VietNam war, and they lost the Presidency in the 1968 election. But they kept the House and the Senate. Democratic Senators were involved in the Savings and Loan scandal.

re: #82 Cheechako

Your comment reminded me of an observation I made during our 5 1/2 month snowbird trip to the lower 48.

Driving on the Interstates, I noticed a lot of auto/truck and recreation vehicle (RV) dealers. I was astonished at the size of the inventories of unsold vehicles that a majority of the dealers were maintaining. There were multiple auto/truck lots that had to have over 500 car/trucks in their inventory. Same with the RV dealers. Many had over 150 Rvs that were unsold. And these were expensive ($100K +) models.

I have questions:

Who’s going to purchase all these vehicles?

Have American consumers tightened their belts?

Have the manufactures over-produced for today’s market?

Is this an indicator of a slowing economy?

I guess time will tell.

There are quite a few trailer/RV places within two miles of my home. Given the amount of stock all these places have in inventory (millions of dollars just in Airstreams, which stand out), I once did a back of the envelope calculation and figured there was around $100 million in unsold trailers and RVs within those two miles. This doesn’t include the mobile home dealers, of which there are several. Thing is, it’s been like this for a while; this particular area is known for selling trailers, RVs and mobile homes to the 55 and up crowd.

re: #18 Blind Frog Belly White

I have empathy for the situation - life hasn’t turned out how they expected because of things that they had no control over. Factories closed, jobs went away, etc. But, you know, that happens to everyone.

It’s been popular for a long time to bash Detroit as a place that was ruined by Democrats and by “Those People”, and to show all the empty houses and shit. It’s especially popular among people who now find themselves in the same situation as the people of Detroit - jobs went away and aren’t coming back, but the people are still there.

But instead of saying, “Cripes, now I get it!”, a lot of them double down and want to blame everyone who doesn’t look like, talk like, pray like or love like them. And that’s where my empathy sputters out.

They want to blame rather than fix.
