trump’s tax plan
A few hours after Donald J. Trump publicly backed away from a $1 trillion tax cut for small businesses, campaign aides on Thursday privately assured a leading small-business group that Mr. Trump in fact remained committed to the proposal — winning the group’s endorsement.
The campaign then told the Tax Foundation, a conservative-leaning Washington think tank it asked to price the plan, that Mr. Trump had indeed decided to eliminate the tax cut.
Call it the trillion-dollar lie: Both assertions cannot be true.

So the Mrs and I are headed to visit my mom in Tennessee. We’ll be seeing our nieces while we’re there. Mrs Cranky cranked out a couple of quilts for the girls as a surprise (I’d apologize for that phrasing but it just seemed to fit ;-) ).
Just finished the quilts and washed them. Now out to dry.
Made them identical because, well, you know how siblings can be. Hope the girls like them.

Perhaps during this short interval where the media have found their balls, they could delve into Trump’s misunderstanding of blind trusts.
Amazingly, Trump has managed to blur the distinction between a blind trust and the opposite of a blind trust so thoroughly that the media is now repeating his own terms. “The Republican nominee has previously indicated,” reports Politico, “that he would place the businesses in a blind trust run by his children and executives.” Again, a “blind trust run by his children and executives” is not a thing.

Trump would make a great Caligula and Nero mashup.

Overall…a dangerous man if given any kind of real power.
re: #15 A Cranky One
Those quilts are beautiful. I hope your nieces enjoy them.
So after a night of pondering just WHY Trump made such short work of the #Unbirthering yesterday, here’s what I’ve got:
It was deliberately kept so brief to give Trump an out.
Yes, he acknowledged that Obama was born in the US. BUT…
He didn’t say the birth certificate was real. He didn’t address the slanders about Frank Marshall whoever being the real father. Nothing about “seekrit MOOSLIM” either.
And I’ll bet you it stays that way from now until forever.
You knew he was a snake all along…

Update to my page about the mosque arsonist:
It appears that Hava Holzhauer, the Regional Director for the ADL in Florida, agrees with what I said above—namely that the hate speech Schreiber posted is similar to that of ant-Muslim bigots, whose posts he apparently re-shared. Emphasis added:
Holzhauer has looked closely at Joseph Schreiber’s Facebook page. She even recognizes some of the hate speech he posted and she says those comments are not widely held Jewish views.
“For example, re-sharing posts of prominent American anti-Muslim bigot Walid Shoebat who also has an ideology, which is not uncommon in United States— among bigots of not differentiating between radical Muslims or extremist Muslims and everybody else— but he puts them altogether, so this is what’s concerning,” Holzhauer, said. […]

I don’t know when/if the public at large will ever realize what a malignancy these bigots are on the body of our society. They’re NOT only a danger to Muslims.
That is all. Returning to my Saturday now—carry on with whatever you were discussing before I so rudely interrrupted and went OT.

I was just getting ready to post these since you’re here and kinda geeky when it comes to this sort of thing. ;-) I’m pretty pissed at the NY Times right now, but these are opinion pieces and I found them interesting.

Speaking of deplorables:
Penn State fans gave a standing ovation after the first of the university’s three videos honoring the late Joe Paterno, while some Temple fans in the upper deck turned their backs in protest.
One red-lettered sign, behind the Owls fans, said, “He turned his back so we’ll turn ours.”
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paterno’s first game as head coach — a 15-7 win over Maryland on Sept. 17, 1966 — Penn State decided to honor the longtime coach with several videos “on the impact to student-athletes” and by having two co-captains from his first team participate in the coin toss before Saturday’s game against Temple.

- briefly attended a weed-fest.
Waiting for more friends from New Hampshire to join us for an early dinner now. The wife went for a dip in the pool while I catch up on internet stuff.

I was wondering if it was something like that. Never mind the established fact that Odin is, by Christian standards, a pagan God.
‘STFU!!!! I can be a “Christ loving Odinist” because someone I’m too much of a coward to mention liked that, despite the fact that it’s against everything I profess to believe, and yet I do. CHECKMATE LIBTARD!!!

That’s what gets me about the Nazis. They tend to portray themselves as pure uber white European Christian exemplars of humanity, yet when you actually look at their “ideology”, (Quotes because when you look at it, it’s really just a load of crap thrown together at short notice in order to justify their currently held views, whatever they might be at the current picosecond.) it’s a hodge-podge of wacky shit from all over the world, all over time, all over whatever religion supported their view at some brief time- never mind if it’s Christian. “Pepe the Frog” and those anime alt-right avatars are prime examples of what I’m talking about. It’s effectively a globalist meme being co-opted by stupid gits that profess to be against that sort of thing.
And, as you’ve noted, they’re fucking cowards.

Well, you have the “Sarah’s Dream (Nuclear Nightmare)” scene in Terminator 2. James Cameron did a pretty decent dramatization of a 1-2 MT device air-bursting over L.A.
IIRC, there was some commotion about it being exaggerated, and I’ve heard over the grapevine that one Hibakusha saw the movie, including that scene. And when asked if Cameron went OTT, said. “It will be at least that bad. And then add some.”
Personally, the only error I find is Sarah Connors skeleton remaining as intact as it does after the shockwave hits.
