taking stock of the damage done by having a trump administration so far:

- the legitimization and propagation of racism
- sadistic abuse of immigrants coming over the southern border
- destruction of economic sectors because of trade war tariffs
- packing the courts
- giant tax giveaway to multinationals and subsequent debt
- rollback of consumer and workplace protection regulations

You know when you can’t hear your speakers, and you keep turning various volume controls up higher and higher in confusion, and then someone hits the mute button and there’s a deafening blast of sound? That’s basically what happened at Chernobyl.

re: #3 Teukka

One thing I genuinely appreciated about Chernobyl was that they explained the science behind the disaster in a way that (IMO) the average person could understand. Even if they weren’t familiar with the science behind nuclear power.

The Czechs I knew who watched the series had no difficulty understanding what happened; they all said it was explained so that a layman could understand it.

The scary thing is that he is convinced he can drop a few nukes and “wipe Iran off the map”.

But even if the majority of the Iranian population was wiped out in a first strike, there would STILL be retaliations against Americans the world over. We don’t exactly have super strong relationships with our allies these days so it’s anyones guess who might come to our defense.

Point is, there’s no winning to be had here. Assuming a nuke is dropped, even the best case scenario is still a worst case scenario.

Yeah. Like even if they do a “warning round” over a sparsely populated area, you will have the issue of fallout falling far beyond the targets borders.
And you will have the effects on the ground, dealing with ARS victims en masse within a already stressed health system will galvanize resistance against Trump, not to mention the imagery which is bound to come out.

Targeting civilians with nuclear weapons as a first strike would be a war crime. Every nation with any sort of treaty or alliance with us would immediate terminate it. We would be alone in the world, and the Union likely wouldn’t survive the aftermath.

And in local news:
Middle-aged couple arrested - suspected of shooting in Snösätra

On Monday a man was found injured outdoors and was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Now, a middle-aged man and woman have been arrested suspected of attempted murder.
- They have a certain connection to this area, says prosecutor Helena Nordstrand.

It was just after 10 o’clock on Monday that a man was found injured in the vicinity of Snösätra industrial area. The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries and the police initiated an investigation into attempted murder.

On Friday, the police stated that two people were arrested suspected of the attempted murder of the man.

The two people are a man and a middle-aged woman reportedly being a couple, was arrested by prosecutors. The man is previously convicted of several crimes, including weapons and drug offenses.

- I have asked them to be arrested on probable grounds because of the risk that they may complicate the investigation. They have a certain connection to this area, says prosecutor Helena Nordstrand.
Suspects were arrested

During the Friday afternoon, Södertörn’s district court decided that both the man and the woman should be arrested suspected on probable grounds for the attempted murder, which is the higher level of suspicion.

- We will hold hearings and some technical investigations will be undertaken. You obtain legal certificates regarding injuries and analyze technical evidence, says Helena Nordstrand.

Otherwise, she does not want to comment more on the background to the shooting or the motive.

- It is far too early in the investigation, says Helena Nordstrand.

Additional information in local media says that the victim is a migrant beggar.

Looks like they may have found a cause for the Dominican resort deaths:

Dominican Republic police are investigating whether or not several US tourists who died while staying at all-inclusive resorts were poisoned by bootleg alcohol, law enforcement sources told The New York Post.

Officials told the Post they are looking into who supplied beverages at Dominican resorts and if the drinks had any chemicals in them.

Toxic counterfeit liquor is an international problem that can turn deadly when distilled spirits are mixed with rubbing alcohol or methanol to dilute the products.

I wonder if it is a business cutting corners or a serial killer working on a different level.

Some interesting details on this story:

The grieving mom also announced that lawyers for the family of Trayvon Martin, the teen shot dead in Sanford, Fla. by George Zimmerman in 2012, will investigate the circumstances surrounding Nigel’s death.

Several hours after Shelby’s son had taken his own life, that she received a call from a school administrator telling her to look for a suicide note in his backpack.

“People at his school knew that he planned to take his own life. I need to find out who knew, and why nobody told me until after he died,” she added.

In a press conference held Monday, civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump and Jasmine Rand announced that they “have been retained to help [Shelby] find the truth wherever that may lead us.”

David Johns, the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, said at the press conference, “As educators and caring and concerned adults we are responsible for ensuring that our children are safe and supported. In too many schools and communities throughout the country, black, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and same-gender loving students are harassed, bullied, and forced to endure additional stress as a result of their intersectional identities,” local news station Rocket City Now reported.

Johns noted that the struggles faced by LGBTQ youth of color can lead kids to believe that dying is the only way out.

“Suicide rates of black gay boys are on the rise as they are struggling with the matrix of oppression presented by being both black and gay,” he said.

I mean, there’s an argument, if this was truly an act of war (which we can’t really even debate until we know who was responsible), that US military action would be potentially legal. Norway is a member of NATO, and we have a mutual defense treaty with Japan.

The thing is, it’d probably make sense to check with those allies to see if they actually wanted to go to war.

Then forced to marry her rapist, with the only escape being the marriage nullified on familial grounds. And now she has to allow her rapist to visit “his” children on penalty of jail if she refuses. But remember, class, these folks are better than the Taliban…because they don’t follow the same book of fairy tales.

By the way, this bit right here:

They’ll support it as him “doing something” about Iran, making him so much more manly than Obama or Dubya. And that anybody (from “libruls” to “RINOs”) who oppose an attack on Iran do so not because they have very real issues with launching an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, but because “THEY WANT DEAR LEADER TO FAIL!!!”

They’ll treat it as they have every bit of warmongering on Trump’s part: “Cleaning up Obama’s messes!” It’s the same mentality that typified Dubya’s first term, every action overseas being seen as “cleaning up” from the Clinton years. In this case, it’ll be that if Obama had just held Iran’s feet to the fire like Dubya did, instead of negotiating a “bad” and “weak” multinational nuclear deal, then “We wouldn’t be in the mess.”

Sure, but that’s within our borders. It’s even on their home ground. And they’re sure that random fat-ass volunteer against the US army wouldn’t be a contest.

This goes well with a middle-aged white guy rant I happened to catch on Ingraham’s show the other night one the way out the door to work. The segment was about (what else?) going nutso over an isolated incident and blowing out totally out of proportion, the topic in question being drag queens reading to children at libraries. Now, this was already a dumb enough “issue,” but the guest she had was (IIRC) spokesman for a far-right “family rights” group. And he proceeded to froth at the mouth about how this was a “lewd act,” not even stopping when Laura tried to force him back to the “This is normalizing aberrant behavior” to bellow that it was “no different” than having pole dancers or porn stars reading to kids.

Sure, but that’s within our borders. It’s even on their home ground. And they’re sure that random fat-ass volunteer against the US army wouldn’t be a contest. (Quite correct, but not the way they think.) Even they can’t help having noticed that foreign operations don’t run that smoothly, and they surely have some veterans to remind them.

One of the tenants of “Patriot” faith is that when the flag goes up, the Armed Forces are gonna either all refuse to follow orders…or outright mutiny and fight on the side of the “Patriots.” Even the “Oathkeepers” believe that shit, because like the 2A, they prefer to focus on the “enemies foreign and domestic” bit and ignore that whole “and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me” part that comes immediately after.

Well, just today in my Facebook timeline up pops some Hillary-obsession meme, posted by a Trumper.

To occupy themselves these days, they still rant about Hillary.

And Obama.

I suspect many Trumpers will not allow themselves to notice if Trump goes all warmongering across the world. To them, at least it wasn’t Hillary.

I believe that the Trump-voting birther PhD in history acquaintance of mine who frothed at the mouth over Hillary the neo-con will actually be consistent on this: I think he was against the first Gulf War and is more a Ron Paul acolyte than a Trump loyalist — there is no doubt in my mind that he would fulminate against any further ventures into the Middle East. Whether he would still vote for Trump vs a Democrat is another story — but he could very well vote libertarian if Trump actually engages in war.

OTOH Teddy’s “Speak softly and carry a big stick” has been transformed to Trump’s “Speak loudly but leave your stick with Putin”. If Putin favors a conflict, Trump may authorize a war; otherwise, he’s not likely to do it on his own.

Tennessee preacher-cop calls for execution of LGBTQ people

Authorities in Tennessee are reviewing all pending cases involving a Knox County Sheriff’s Office detective after he gave a sermon at his church that called for the government to execute members of the LGBTQ community.

“They are worthy of death,” Grayson Fritts said in a June 2 sermon at All Scripture Baptist Church, a small church in Knoxville that he leads.
The church posted the sermon online and then removed it, according to The Washington Post. The video was picked up by the Tennessee Holler, an independent liberal news outlet, and edited into a six-minute clip.
“God has instilled the power of civil government to send the police in 2019 out to the LGBT freaks and arrest them and have a trial for them, and if they are convicted, then they are to be put to death,” he said in the clip.
Fritts said it would be easy to find people to arrest at events such as gay pride parades.

Also called gay men “filthy animals.”

I have a lot of questions for sure. If it is an Iranian boat, did they contact the crew of the ship and let them know, hey there is a mine on your ship we are going to try to remove it, you may want to take safety precautions. Or were they trying to do something without the ship occupants knowledge? Because that seems awfully shady.

In 1944, World War II veteran KT Robbins met and fell in love with a woman in France only to leave, wondering if he would ever see her again.

He was stationed in northeastern France when he met 18-year-old Jeannine Ganaye but was forced to leave when he was assigned to the front line, according to France 24.

For 75 years, Robbins kept a photo of her hoping it would help him find his way back to her.

Except that that was after the initial explosion and the ship had dumped all it’s ballast so it was riding a lot higher than when the explosion happened. If you look at pictures or video of when it was burning you can see it was riding a lot lower.

A majority stake in Whataburger is being sold to an investment company. I think it really means it will expand into new markets. But is a big deal here in the DFW area and probably in tha state of Texas. Every news station has run multiple stories about it.

Yeah, who took the video? Government? innocent bystander in the gulf? Who reported the incident and got hold of the video? I saw a comment that said the Zapruder tapes were better quality video. My phone takes better quality video.

There has been some talk on the food blogs here in Los Angeles that Whataburger wanted to enter the California market. Guess they want to get even with In N Out opening a store in Texas…

Yeah, wondering where the video was shot from? Drone, satellite? The only thing that can really explain the quality is extreme distance.

It looked to me like it was so bad, it was taken at night from a drone???

Yeah, so far this thing is headed to the two-shooters type of armchair analysis.

What is really needed is for Japanese experts analyze the ship for any evidence. Even then I’m not sure there will be a final conclusion.

From the quoted tweet:

another day volunteering at the betsy ross museum. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the flag. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it]

I’m gonna be that guy: the Betsy Ross House is the biggest tourist trap in Philly. She had zero to do with creating the flag.

Quick question about Orange Julius Caesar’s Air Force One redesign: Am I correct in assuming the old one’s sky blue and white paint job is for camouflage? And that the new one is basically making the President a flying target?

Not really. Camouflage looks completely unlike AF1. And the President is already and always a flying target, or driving or walking or just talking.

No. the military had initially proposed Red and Orange with military markings. Jackie hated it and they ended up hiring a designer to come up with a color scheme. It was marketing more than anything.

I go to In-N-Out when I want a salad on a bun (not a bad thing), Whataburger when I want a burger stand burger, Culver’s when I want custard, Dairy Queen when I want steak fingers, Five Guys if I want to be adventurous with the toppings, and I’m still not done with burger restaurants in town.

Yeah- I live in CU, and I can say it’s been a pretty horrifying thing seeing it all unfold. Especially given the apparent defense is going to be “he was depressed.”

I mean, I’ve struggled with depression and dysphoric mania my whole life, and never once did I think, “hey, I should visit a horrifying atrocity on some completely random person.” The evidence regarding the CCTV footage alone was stomach churning. It really brings home the fact that we are, all of us, just one bad day away from a nightmare.
