Not the party of Teddy Roosevelt then.
At no time in my life have they been that party:
This guy approached me on the metro and asked if I was American, if I spoke English. I replied yes and ignored him. When waiting outside he approaches me again and asks where my genetics are from, if I’m from Korea. I ask him why do you wanna know and this happened. pic.twitter.com/4ASill9gz8

Read the original and the sequel (Killing Time). Great books TR as the Police Commissioner is a great character (Bully!).
Don’t have cable, but look forward to seeing the DVD’s. Great storyteller, is Caleb Carr.

Just watched the parade videos in the previous thread.
Sheesh, 200 years ago marching in formation was how you fought wars. Not today.
A parade with thousands of military in it will require tens of thousands of support folks.
The units will need to stop real training and practice marching. Then they will have to redeploy, do the parade, and then return to their base. At which point they will have to restart whatever they were doing before the parade. All the wear and tear to the units, their personnel, and their equipment will need time and money to fix.
And during this entire time those units and support folks will be unavailable for real missions.
If I were a global trouble maker, I would look at a parade as an excellent time to make that trouble.

It seemed to me that the idiot in the video was an immature male who was looking to attack someone weaker than he and less able to defend herself.
I think that he figured out pretty quickly that she could defend herself verbally and was unafraid. And it seemed to me that he fled pretty quickly upon realizing that.
But yes, my reaction was the same as yours.

I’m a tiny guy, but I would have at least tried if it came to protecting another person. I might get put in the hospital, but rolling over me would allow another to escape.
The problem in Nazi Germany in the Thirties was as the rhetoric and then violence escalated, an awful lot of people sat around and said “it can’t get worse” or “it doesn’t affect me.”
When the chips are down is when the mettle of your courage is actually measured. Considering the massive protest rallies (on behalf of both women and science) occurring in the nation, along with the wannabe fascists running away from their protests, I think that mettle is testing well so far.
Minutemen is one of the best rock ‘n’ roll bands out there. They ceased to exist in December of 1985, after only a few years of making records. Nobody knows about them.

re: #12 Anymouse 🌹
I agree, street fights are a real crapshoot. And if you are older than 35, you know you are going to get hurt. It’s just a matter of how badly. The hope is to make the other guy understand that it will not be an easy fight.
Most predators (including our current president) are just looking for easy wins. A good book on this is “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin De Becker.
I also agree that mass movements and mass protests are far more effective. The two women’s marches and the other protests including Boston and even Charlottesville against the fascists, were, to my mind, extremely effective.

Night all. Cold and wet in South Austin. Icky day tomorrow, too, clearing out on Thursday.
Sweet dreams.
Heh, the DC area is due for ice and sleet right at the morning rush hour. That should make for an interesting morning.
Time for me to head to bed as well.
So… This happened last week:
(nota bene - I did rearrange the order of the quotes to make a bit more sense of the story.)
“It started Saturday night with a raid and seizure of a marijuana dispensary retail outlet in the Black Creek Dr.-Eglinton Ave. area. Two officers tasked with guarding evidence were later allegedly experiencing dizziness and impairment from something consumed from that stash.”
“One officer was allegedly flying so high, he ended up in a tree.”
“Meanwhile, a female officer was allegedly wandering around in an altered state at great risk to herself and perhaps others, according to a source.”
“[A] third officer — who offered assistance — suffered a head wound while trying to help one of the officers.”

I just noticed that Silverton Mountain ski area in Colorado retweeted me (@SilvertonMtn).
Silverton Mountain is and will always be a crazy and unpredictable experience for their paying customers.
“Can I ski this place?”
“How good are you?”
“I can ski the double blacks in Breckenridge.”
“If there’s a mandatory air, even if it was five feet or less, would you jump into the run?”
“I… don’t think so.”
“You’re not in this group, go to the next group to your right.” (actual conversation I heard at Silverton Mountain)
Their employees don’t fuck around. I mean, look at this ski area. This is the view from just above the top of the chairlift.
About that video showing trump’s scalp, one of my friends is saying it looks like Darth Vader when he took his helmet off, and another is saying it looks like the Lord Humungous in “The Road Warrior.”

True story. In February 2006, with a group of fit skier men, I hiked up this (red line) and skied down that (green line).

Bumpy is a gross understatement. Steep and unforgiving is more accurate.

“A former Trump economic adviser is now predicting financial doom: ‘This thing is going to implode’”
“[Carl] Icahn, a billionaire investor, called in to CNBC to talk about Monday’s massive drop in the Dow-Jones Industrial Average. While he thought that Monday’s crash was a mere blip, he did say that many institutions are over-leveraged right now just as they were right before the great financial crash of 2008.
“You have way too many derivatives,” Icahn said, referring to financial instruments whose value is backed by underlying assets such as mortgages, currencies or commodities. “It is not really a place for the average person to be playing around in derivatives.”

Tumblr was also overrun by Russian trolls, though the company is saying little about it. Those trolls promoted Bernie Sanders whilst denigrating Hillary Clinton.
The article starts (more at the link):
Russian trolls posed as black activists on Tumblr and generated hundreds of thousands of interactions for content that ranged from calling Hillary Clinton a “monster” to supporting Bernie Sanders and decrying racial injustice and police violence in the US, according to new findings from researcher Jonathan Albright and BuzzFeed News.
While Facebook and Twitter continue to face intense public and congressional pressure over the activity from trolls working for the Russian Internet Research Agency, Tumblr has somehow managed to escape scrutiny. But the blogging platform was in fact home to a powerful, largely unrevealed network of Russian trolls focused on black issues and activism.
“The evidence we’ve collected shows a highly engaged and far-reaching Tumblr propaganda-op targeting mostly teenage and twenty-something African Americans. This appears to have been part of an ongoing campaign since early 2015,” said Albright, research director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University.

GOP cherry picked from list of organizations that the IRS flagged for scrutiny. GOP complained IRS flagged groups improperly. IRS Inspector General found that political groups were flagged because IRS was concerned they were seeking tax benefit they weren’t entitled to.
IRS indicated that the criteria was incomplete/insufficient; Congress needed to clarify with law (and still hasn’t). IRS therefore has to fill gaps with regulations and guidance.
GOP tries to find a fall guy to blame - besides Obama - attack IRS is their central goal.

The mentality of the people making the music. Producers now are ignoring all the musical principles of the previous generations. It’s a joke. That’s not the way it works: You’re supposed to use everything from the past. If you know where you come from, it’s easier to get where you’re going. You need to understand music to touch people and become the soundtrack to their lives. Can I tell you one of the greatest moments in my life?

Lots of quotables for sure. He came off as kind of a hater and bullshitter to me though and I remember specifically using him as example one of the OGs who I admired because he was not that, years ago.
Fun read though.
He had a bit of that “DAMN KIDS GET OFF MAH LAWN!” vibe going there, especially when it came to talking about modern music, but, you know what? He’s Quincy Motherfucking Jones; I’d say he’s earned that right, many times over…and he wasn’t necessarily wrong on some of it either.

Why, when I was a boy, there used to be military parades all the time! Big ones, with long columns of troops marching past the reviewing stand, tanks, armored vehicles, big mobile missile carriers, and flyovers by a gazillion aircraft!
They were in the Soviet Union. We pointed at them and laughed, because you make a ‘show of strength’ when you’re not really strong.
This is the national equivalent of Trump’s weird-ass hairdo, covering his oddly situated bald spot.
It’s not just the Democrats who are rightfully pushing back on this. This is money being spend to stroke Trump’s ego, and making us look like North Korea, that could instead be spent on improving veteran’s benefits. Of course Fox tries to mislead people on this.

Mucinex is if your nose is stuffed up and the mucus is thick.
If your throat hurts, I live by that spray in your throat Chloroseptic stuff. It freezes your throat.
Standard Robotussin might help with a drippy nose, as would Sudafed (I use PE which doesn’t have psudoepinepherine [sic] as that is bad for your blood pressure) because you want something that dries you, not makes you more drippy.
There’s an easy way to find out who this parade is honoring.
1. Are the service members going to be sitting in the bleachers drinking soft drinks and beer and eating good food while being treated to some world class entertainment
or
2. Are the troops going to be getting drilled so they can march pretty in formations so they can put on a good show for politicians and Trump?

This person is an idiot. No, global warming is not all ‘faulty computer modeling’.
1) the absorption spectrum of CO2 in the infrared is an incontrovertible fact. i.e. it traps heat.
2) the amount of CO2 we pump into the atmosphere is known, easily calculated from fossil fuel usage.
3) The increase in CO2 in the atmosphere and the oceans is measurable, and has been measured.
4) the increase in temperature in the atmosphere and the oceans is measurable, and has been measured.
So, we know CO2 traps heat, we’ve been adding A LOT to the atmosphere, and the temperature is rising. The data support the hypothesis. Now, you may hypothesize that it’s something else, but you have to actually NAME that something else. Things have causes. You can’t just say ‘It’s a cycle!’ without saying what it’s a cycle of.

re: #271 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis
We all knew he had a combover for a large bald spot, but had no idea that his entire head is bald and covered with carefully combed extremely-long sideburns.
Yeah; I figured he was bald up top - not uncommon for a man of 70, to be honest - but his bald spot is much bigger than I’d thought it was.
Seriously - he should grow a goatee and shave his head. Go for that whole Walter White look (and if he lost about 30 pounds, that’d help too). He’d probably look better; there’s nothing that screams insecurity more than a comb-over.
re: #337 ObserverArt
I had a big post about that yesterday afternoon. It was pointed out it is very complicated and should be easy like California.
Ohio is not California. We have been under Republican state legislature control for some time. To get this done was extremely difficult and hopefully it will make this state more fair. Who knows, it might be the end of assholes like Jim Jordan. It is a start.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Or if they were drawn well or not. I just posted the map. You would know better than I. What do you think of the map? I can’t imagine it is easy, really, if you look at the number of citizens and land mass. I don’t know what CA did, either.
As no expert (not even playing one on teevee), I don’t have any comment about How. In short…I got nothin’.

“He is going to be leaving the White House. It won’t be immediate.” - @NBCPolitics— NBC News (@NBCNews) February 7, 2018

His combover pompadour is so distinctive that it has become his trademark. Yes it is utterly ridiculous but it is uniquely associated with him. He doesn’t care how silly he looks.
If the accusations are untrue, why would he leave? (See Donald Trump as example).
re: #351 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis
Same with all the other abusers in the White House. We just don’t know exactly when.
He denied the allegations, so he gets to stay. That’s how it works for Republicans. I mean, SS specifically said the difference between Trump and Franken was that Trump denied the far more egregious accusations.

Not to nitpick, and not like I believe him, but the first line says ‘these outrageous allegations are simply false’. That sounds like a denial to me.

That’s how they operate. Blow a hole in the budget with tax cuts, then a week or two later say we don’t have the revenue to pay for programs. They think we’re all as intentionally-clueless as the motivated-non-thinkers who call themselves Republicans.

Any OTC recommendations? I’ve just been taking Nyquil, drinking water constantly and drinking hot tea with honey every couple hours. Momentary and I mean momentary relief only. Don’t have insurance right now so I’m not going to the Dr.
Is Mucinex a good option?
Yes. I use Mucinex Sinus, and it helps a great deal.
