Is anyone really surprised that there was some sleight of hand involved in Trump’s “bone spur” diagnosis? Why is this any kind of topic of discussion?
Among the things I despise about the POTUS, this is not in the top 50. At least he didn’t get out of Vietnam and then later claim that he had “longed to be there” the way Mitt Romney did.
Trump had a physical in 1966 and was declared available for service. Then in 1968, he was suddenly diagnosed with bone spurs that allowed him to dodge the draft. Enter Dr. Larry Braunstein, a foot doctor who rented his office from Trump’s dad, Fred Trump. https://t.co/hktFXVRJWV

By contrast: Robert Mueller had a physical in 1966, was told his knees were too busted to deploy, spent a year repairing them, and deployed to Vietnam in 1968. More here: https://t.co/0GXz1CTiCU https://t.co/QE72NRcgcH

On the other hand,Trump managed on one short trip to lie about the troops’ pay increase, to lead them to violate the rule against political activity by signing his campaign gear, & to expose the identity of Navy SEALs, perhaps endangering their lives.

re: #280 Anymouse 🌹
Flying off the topic a minute, to discuss YouTube advert alogrithms.
I do not have a YouTube account, so I get mostly random adverts (except those based specifically on Missouri, I presume pulled from my ISP’s location).
I was watching a video in which the word “corn” appears several times, though the topic of the video was not about corn.
I got four adverts for corn seed suppliers or farm equipment suppliers (selling grain drills).
I agree with William. That was fun.
I like Thile in that he is a very accomplished serious musician, but doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. He can be goofy and get into the spirit of the fun. Loved it.
Good musicians all around in that.

I remarked the other day that Trump seemed to be just ticking off boxes on his checklist for the 2020 campaign and here we are again, turning a visit to the troops that was long overdue into a campaign photo-op. He went there for a 2 hour photo-shoot which he’ll be using in campaign flyers and ads come next year.

And there’s the rub: The soldiers depicted in photographs may not object to their use in such a way. Regardless of whether they support or oppose Donald Trump, their photos are essentially public property.
You then wind up with the problem of a person used in an advert for a reëlection campaign, even if that person opposes Trump’s reëlection.

We’re getting weird weather here. I ran some errands at about 9:00 and we we’re getting lots of big fluffy scenic snowflakes. It’s still snowing now but the temp is going up overnight and the snow is supposed to turn to rain soon and continue as rain all day tomorrow.

The Navajo call it “male” and “female” rain. Male rain is the summer monsoon/thunderstorm season. Female rain is the winter over-running fronts that result in soft precipitation.
What is pushing into Austin now is a squall-line rain complex that we normally see in September or October. This is a rare event for December. It’s also really damn warm. Thunder to the west, on its way.

We’ve had just a steady drizzle today until the last 20 minutes. It’s really beginning to roar into town now. A lot of horizontal rain. The donder and blitzen is still about five miles west. Interesting to see if it hangs together.
As you know these squall lines have a tendency to come apart as they cross the Balcones Fault complex, which drops the elevation almost 1000 feet. That loss of elevation often tears the thunderheads to pieces temporarilly, only to re-form east of Austin and beat the fuck out of Bastrop and points east.
Right now, the squall line appears to be losing strength to the west and north, and maintaining strength south of downtown as it sweeps east. Very loud out there.
The last prediction had a weak El Nino continuing until the middle of next year:

We know nothing until a case goes to court, where some information is revealed — and other information is redacted.

I have no problem with Christians choosing the Winter Solstice to celebrate the birth of their Savior. And I have absolutely no problem with their message of Peace on Earth and Good Will to Everyone.
But I get annoyed at their notion that they have some sort of exclusive claim to the season or its (often pagan) traditions and rituals

A visit like that has to be kept secret until the last moment due to security concerns and we have no idea how compromised the information network in Iraq is.
That works both ways though, I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard for us to figure out when the optimum time would be for the President to drop in on the the Iraqi PM, if that was our goal.

re: #42 Eclectic Cyborg
Man, Trump is really going to lose his fucking mind when the Dem House takes over.
You are assuming facts not in evidence. He has no mind to lose.
So, looks like MSNBC has beat FNC for the first time in 17 years.
MSNBC beat out Fox News last week in key ratings for first time in 17 years, topping its competitors in total average viewers for the first time since 2000, according to a news release from MSNBC.
MSNBC averaged 1,558,000 total viewers during the “sales day” (6 a.m. to 2 a.m.) between Dec. 17-21, while Fox News averaged 1,541,000 total viewers. CNN, meanwhile, averaged 975,000.Among people between the ages of 25 and 54, a key demographic for cable news networks, MSNBC also finished the week as the No. 1.
In prime time (8 p.m. to 11 p.m.), MSNBC continued to lead Fox News and CNN in total viewers and among that key age group for the fourth week in a row.
I suspect that it’s because FNC viewers skew older - and to put it quite frankly, it’s a matter of attrition through simple mortality. FNC’s viewer demographic is - quite literally - dying off.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Trump’s back after his 3 hour campaign tour stop in Iraq.

You’re lying your ass off.
44,000 members of the US Coast Guard are not getting paid thanks to your idiocy. You think all of them are Democrats? You’re a liar and con artist, and you are not getting the wall (which wont solve any of the problems you claim it would).— lawhawk (@lawhawk) December 27, 2018
He never stops lying. That’s the thing. His base loves his lies and the cognitive dissonance just grows stronger. It’s like a supermassive black hole of derp. The more Trump lies, the more his base loves him. Do they think this is winning? They’re not benefiting from Trump policies (the trade war hits manufacturing jobs and agriculture - not the tech jobs that power so much of coastal blue states). The lies are nonstop - like with Trump claiming that he oversaw a massive raise in military pay (it was a fraction of what he claimed). And then Trump violates federal law by turning the visit into a campaign stop and to reveal the identities of a SEAL team.
That’s not winning. That’s not improving national security.
That’s the opposite.
He’s a menace. He’s a clear and present danger to American national security. Even some GOP party leaders may acknowledge that in private, but they’re fucking cowards since they will continue to push the Trump position as it is their own. They’ll pack the courts with right wing extremists, even when those judges are ill-qualified, or completely unqualified by the ABA standards. They don’t care what happens to the nation so long as they get to change the course of the courts for the next 40-50 years in an attempt to roll back the social progress we’ve seen to date.
At its core, the GOP is a white nationalist party, and Trump echos/mirrors that white nationalism better than everyone else - mostly because he’s the most vulgar and direct on doing so. The GOP policies are a combination of misogyny and white nationalism because that’s what the GOP does to pander to their base. They think everything will be better if women and minorities lose the rights they’ve gained, and propose that things would be better if we went back in time and rolled back all the rights gained (to say nothing of the safety net that so many take for granted).

Proving once again that everything Trump touches turns to shit.
Politicians from both sides of Iraq’s political divide are calling on parliament to vote to expel U.S. troops. Approximately 5,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Iraq as part of the coalition against the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) group.
Foreign influence has become a hot-button issue in a year that saw supporters of populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr win the largest share of votes in May elections. Al-Sadr has called for curbing U.S. and Iranian involvement in Iraqi affairs.
Mr. Trump spent three hours at a U.S. air base meeting with American troops on an unannounced visit Wednesday. He left without meeting any Iraqi officials.
Lawmakers decried the visit as arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.

One of today’s stock rightwing boogeymen: in the “conservative” imagination, a sinister movement of black-clad, black-masked, violence-prone leftists/anarchists/Communists/whatever dedicated to fomenting street violence and riots to stifle free speech and prevent decent conservatives from ever making any public expression of their opinions, at risk of bodily harm.
These “Thugs”, btw, aren’t completely imaginary: black-clad counterprotestors DO occasionally show up at Nazi/neo-Nazi/racist demonstrations, but I would think (from what I’ve read) that if there are 200-300 of them in the whole country, that would probably be an overestimation.

ICE dumped people in custody for a third day at a Greyhound station in El Paso.
Greyhound’s station is too small for them, so the company brought up buses and ran them so families with small children stuck outside in the night could keep warm.
They’re expected to continue doing this. The alleged reason is time they are allowed to detain people is expiring. ICE is blaming inaction in Congress as the reason.

She can sing their national anthem.
Remember the Georgia GOP candidate who drove around the state with his wildly racist “deportation bus?”
Yeah, about him, he’s reported to jail for alleged fraud, claiming $300,000 in Bitcoin mining computers were stolen from him.
He is a current state representative, who is apparently now representing his district from jail.
The charges against the Forsyth County Republican, who will likely remain in office until mid-January, stem from a May incident in which [Michael] Williams reported his Gainesville campaign office was burglarized. At the time, Williams’ campaign manager said $300,000 worth of computer servers that were being used to mine cryptocurrency had been taken from the building.
Williams is accused of lying to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent when he said he was at home in Forsyth County, not in the Gainesville area at the time of the purported burglary. The indictment, which doesn’t say what allegedly actually happened to the servers, accuses Williams of making a false insurance claim related to the servers.

Well, Rick Perry did tell people to pray for rain there during the drought.
From the Principia Discordia:
Mal-2 [Malcalypse the Younger] was once asked by one of his Disciples if he often prayed to Eris. He replied with these words:
No, we Erisians seldom pray, it is much too dangerous. Charles Fort has listed many factual incidences of ignorant people confronted with, say, a drought, and then praying fervently — and then getting the entire village wiped out in a torrential flood.

Here’s the thing about Obama.

Those three alone are things I can’t see Bernie or any bro type being able to do. They hate Obama because he wasn’t FDR and ignore FDR’s faults. I have disappointments with Obama but all things considered and that he dealt with an opposition that hated him simply because he was a black man, he accomplished a lot.
Also, he made it 8 years without any of his administration being indicted. Any of them. For anything.

Starting Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Commission will have a “very limited number of staff” available to respond to emergency situations.

Not a chance bought-and-paid for GOP Senators such as the Freedumb Caucus or Mitch McConnell are going to do a damn thing about that.

How is this worse than selling the US out to Russia? Trump and his cronies don’t care at all about that…why should this be any different?
Conservative officers have been trying to subvert liberal enlisted personnel for a long time.
An anecdote:
The first Presidential election I voted in (Carter v Reagan), I voted by Federal absentee ballot while at sea. That ballot requires either a notary public to witness your signature, or in the case of deployed military personnel, an officer ranked O-4 or above.
My department on the ship required personnel to submit their ballots to their division officers open, allegedly to see if you were the person who voted on the ballot. (There is no way to tell that, but since you’re submitting it in person, it is a very good way to see how you voted.)
I was unsurprised that my “military bearing” grades on personnel evaluations were reduced for the rest of the time I was in that command, which hurt my advancement.
But complaining about your division officer violating Federal law to seek redress would mean going to the division officer’s boss (the department head who ordered that).
re: #268 MsJ
How is this worse than selling the US out to Russia? Trump and his cronies don’t care at all about that…why should this be any different?
Because subverting the military to a particular political party means that political party controls the military. That means the military can be used to suppress opponents of that political party.
If the military’s officers in the USA become loyal to the GOP rather than the Constitution, it’s game over for a democratic republic.
