1/ Ok, so deep breath. On my way home, I turned on @NPR & heard an interview on @Studio360show w/ John McNaughton, a pro-Trump artist, &, once again, I would like to ask media organizations to at least *explore* the idea that the president is a white nationalist.

meanwhile all the folks from fb/twitter/google see the writing on the wall, go out and build three new platforms, and fix the, er, questionable stuff from before.
people flock to them (work with me) because right on their front pages they include a ‘one button’ migration tool (they’ve got the internals to the public trust you morans)

Taking on the tech giants is not going to end well for Trump.
Especially Google. Come on.
The point of taking on tech companies is that Trump wants to control the flow of info.
He doesn’t want people to see his lies, criminality, and misconduct for what they are.
He wants to limit access and cow critics into submission and silence.
Those who control the info control the universe (riffing on Dune).

What amuses me is he genuinely thinks he will somehow be able to control tech companies that are massive, international, and basically run their own online economy. Like he thought he was going to take on Amazon. Really? Let’s take on Google and Apple too and see how that works out.
The only people that can control these companies are their users, who may simply choose to go somewhere else. The international user base of Google is not going to flinch at a little fly like Trump jumping into the soup to drown himself. He has no idea how the tech world operates.
Let’s see him go after the energy sector next. Oil and gas. They’d eat him alive.

if the gun belongs to the student, then hang ‘em. take away his future, his finances, his freedom and his 2a rights. he’s totally irresponsible.
if that gun legally belongs to any other person, hang them
take their future, finances, freedom
IT IS THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE SECOND BIGGEST PART OF THE PROBLEM
if they cannot control their weapons at all times (the absolute minimum requirement for any responsible person) they should NOT be anywhere near guns.
the BIGGEST PART OF THE PROBLEM is every other gun owner that doesnt do anyting about these people who literally dont know where their own weapons are.

It’s obvious that if Republicans retain control of Congress, they’re going to go for broke between 2018 and 2020. They’re showing their hands now despite the threat of losing the House in November.

Unfortunately the Bernie Brigade is unrepentant. They may come out for DSA members or some Bernie supported candidates, but they would rather see a moderate Democrat lose to a Trumper than vote for someone they consider fatally compromised (and that is anyone they don’t consider to be a progressive). They are like Trump — they don’t accept responsibility for any ills that arise from their actions and treat compromise as a dirty word. .
re: #114 Patricia Kayden
The fact that the Trump regime is deporting citizens should be much more publicized. It feels as if this is happening under the radar and most of us are shrugging as if it’s not a huge deal. Republicans were never going to stop at illegal immigration. It was always about stopping legal migrants from the “wrong” (otherwise known as sh*thole) countries.

When the Texas Tribune raised questions in September about the Cruz campaign’s association with Sabo — given the artist’s prolific use of racial epithets, sexual imagery and profane language — Sabo himself seemed puzzled. “I honestly still don’t believe my name is on that site,” he told the political news website. In last week’s interview on CNN, Cruz said the Sabo poster helped his campaign connect with young voters.

For the most part I agree; everyone needs to accept that their group, religion or whatever may be mocked at some point in time and that violence is an unacceptable response to it.
However, the idea of having a contest to generate a competitive motivation to depict a faith as mean spiritedly as possible is reprehensible. Perhaps it should not be illegal but whoever is behind it should be publicly lambasted for their imbecility and hatefulness. If they have a business it should be boycotted.

I disagree with that. This country is not becoming more white. Quite the opposite. I expect to see another President of color in the next decade or so. There’s a reason why White Supremacists are losing their minds. They see the demographic writing on the wall.

It would be great if O’Rourke won this Senate race and then ran for President in 2020. He kind of reminds me of President Obama in terms of swagger, charisma and empathy. We need someone who can electrify the electorate, get out the vote and overwhelm Republican voter suppression tactics which I expect to be in full force by 2020.
Just too soon for him. 2024/28 definitely - Although President Obama had the same problem - 2012 would have been perfect for him - but a dem would have been in office at that time.

re: #230 Nyet
The following book came up as recommended reading (while looking at denier take-down comments); I have no idea if the book will be good or bad, but it seems to be an important subject:
In a chilling and controversial book, Swedish author Sven Lindqvist recounts the grisly history of nineteenth-century European imperialism and its connection to a legacy of genocide. Moving through present-day Africa while tracing the routes of British conquerors, Lindqvist tells how armed troops massacred 11,000 Sudanese (at a ‘cost’ of only forty-eight British deaths) in 1898 and how the King of Ashanti was made to kiss the feet of British officers in 1896. Lindqvist doesn’t stop in Africa, writing of the extermination of the Tasmanian aborigines and other atrocities inflicted on native people. He then connects those acts with those of the Nazi regime, showing how rampant imperialism sowed the seeds of the Holocaust. This is a moving account of the forces of history.

I was looking for an article that appeared in, I think Golf Digest, about a round to review a Trump course and Trump took multiple yard-long gimme putts and mover mulligans that allowed. The author said that he didn’t want to write about that stuff, but instead focus on the course, which was very good. But Trump got mad when he heard that the score he claimed for himself wasn’t going to be in the article.
Anyway, it’s now pretty clear that Trump was never upset about Obama playing golf—and it’s possible that he didn’t resent a black man playing golf as president, though I’d assume that was part of it—it’s that he thought he would be the bestest, greatestest, golf-playing president ever if he could get elected. And with his game, just like the election, the only way to do it was to cheat. And his particular psychology told him that cheating is not cheating because you already believe you’r the best. Be Best.
