Mc Mike's JournalI'm hoping for a 3 way repug brawl,
where loser li'l donnie, loser repug officials, and loser goper voters all scream "Loser!" and "traitor!" at each other.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
There is absolutely no way on earth for main stream mass media to
feasibly promote a pretense of reasonable competence from dRumpfenfuhrer. It's impossible for them to engage in a false equvalency that both sides are equally competent, and both have reasonable foreign policy viewpoints that should be considered.
Still, I'd like to offer 2 questions to Fox, so they can try:
Q: Mr. drumpf, will your foreign policy be one based on winning, and will it be huge? And please stop grabbing your crotch, sir.
Q: Sec. Clinton, recent developments where Turkey backs the Macedonians and Greece backs the Kurds have raised the specter of a nine way hot war in Syria, where Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Iran and Iraq now have boots on the ground, in a fight between Russia's Syrian proxies, ISIL, and non-aligned Syrian rebels. What precisely will you do to put a complete halt to the hostilities, and restore peace in the region that stretches from the nation that was the flashpoint which ignited WWI, right down into the Middle East powder keg that threatens to ignite an Armageddon style WWIII? In ninety seconds, please.
A complete coincidence. Bannon and William Johnson will vouch for dRumpfenfuhrer on that score.
So will Matt Heimbach, Eternal Sentry, Western Triumph, V Dare, John Tanton, Rocky Suhayda, Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor, Jason Richwine, James Edwards, David Duke, Dan Rowe, Joe Schmidt, Lori Gayne, Laura Ingraham, General Mike Flynn.
How many character references does the poor guy need, before people will stop falsely slurring him as a nazi swine?
These godwin's style attacks against the gop are so unfair.
Thanks, G II. That was a campaign statement,
like bringing Ailes on board was, and Bannon, and Giuliani, and Gingrich. They all ape the candidate's marital infidelity and sexual assault "flaws" or "foibles", all have a very public track record. And he runs against Sec. Clinton by accusing her of having a husband that does what dRump and the campaign surrogates all do.
Looks like women in the workplace can't get a fair shake from the dRump repug campaign, and they somehow use the "oddly victimized via megaphoned media dog whistles of incest" daughter to promote this stuff. They used her for their child leave policy scam too, and the campaign is all about "no pee breaks for women, no 'bad for the business' pregnancies, no natural nursing activities permitted", etc.
They get around actual campaign policy discussion by throwing this crazy and nauseating stuff out into the public, openly, then screaming and crying, pissing and moaning, about "why won't the media and the opposition talk about campaign policy positions?' "Why is the focus on all these tabloid style issues?"
If I
was stuck in close physical proximity, with someone who has said I'm crooked and evil, the devil, yelled it to my face. Who said they were going to imprison me, for daring to run against them or go against them controlling me and everything else in the world. Who acts like a violent tough guy, always mouthing off with violence. Who pretends he's a mob guy coz his daddy bought him his button so that's the crowd he aspires to ape. Who assaults and brags about how he assaults people like me and gets away with it. Who has made 4 public statements -- to a pack of unstable goonish violent followers who they have -- that I should be killed. Who's broadcast the idea of jailing or killing me to millions of people, to the screaming applause of thousands of goon fans. Who's a big blubbery famously bad tempered crazy zero morals zero impulse control completely bad impulse driven shambling, hulking sack of shit --
And if that someone lurched around in my physical space, dodging my line of sight, constantly moving erratically and spiraling in closer --
then there'd be no question of whether I cared about the opinion of anyone who thought they could let me know they were judging my "maturity".
The results wouldn't be pretty, for the shambling supersized sack of shit.
But that's just me.
I suggest Sec Clinton get a tazer, or barring that, a fist full of keys to the minivan that she was borrowing from her son-in-law's cousin for the post debate trip she had planned for some "me time". I'd aim right for that fleshy blubbery set of orange jowls he has, below that sphincter like potty mouth of his. Physically defending oneself while in defense of our fine nation isn't just extremely intelligent and completely justified, it's also a sign of mature responsible competent adult behavior.
Either the style of pic violates some computer protocol the site runs with,
or there's some trademark issue and some styles of images get removed sometimes. I can never see Lukovitch cartoons that get posted here.
Klook's post # 12 is still showing. Maybe because he uses or cites imgur? But his other post with the tutorial, it was unavailable to me, from the first time I saw it.
Here's one I got one from dscntnt_irny_srcsm, and it's still showing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/125611868
That one looks like a pic of a British mag cover.
I never read all the ins and outs of technical posting matters, when signing up to post on the site, More of a long winded typer than tech literate and artistic.
Used to be a whiz at vcr and stereo system set ups, and daisy chaining players for copying purposes, and recording tv shows while watching other shows. More like roadie or IATSE stuff, and I'd help other people out by looking at their jumble of wires, plugs and jacks, and on screen menus. But this new fangled tech, I'm bone ignorant about.
I've done quite a bit of electrical and data hard line work for wireless ISP companies, but all I do there is plead with them to provide me with a print or schematic ("where's the wire go, please, boss?" ), just watch carefully for proper implementation re how the various power and data equipment and machinery daisy chains. I've never installed one that failed or got damaged, using that policy. (And I'm fairly positive this displeased the vendor and their uncle over at the customer's HQ.) I don't know what half the gizmos are doing, but all the smart phone computer stuff is going back to some bank of servers or another. There's all kinds of big money on both sides of that data reception-transmission equation (or web or hub or whatever. Intertube.)
I've also seen copyright enforcement stuff occur online before. I was just looking up an old Borowitz piece, and it can't be reached in it's entirety anywhere. I saw DKos enforce a tight restriction on Tom Tomorrow distribution for quite a while. Those deals messed with archived political works the authors originated before the affiliation contracts were signed. The whole issue may be money. The online content owners like NewYorker, DK, etc., should be turning to the Internet Service Providers, who all people online are already paying, for a fairer cut of the profits. Because money is making all kinds of good political ideas and framing go right down the memory hole.
Yet there's so much free right wing garbage thrown at you, by the shovelsfull, on line, all the time. Extremely low demand stuff, with a very small number of extremist fans. They've got movies, memes, graphics, tons of free media coverage. Nobody wants it, it's shovelled in a tidal deluge at them, anyway. If I look up a political subject, I'll get 20 different bizarre rightwing outlets lining up to give me their spin. None of them are profitable. The stuff sits around abandoned and archived, for years. Their stuff only gets scrubbed when it blows up in their faces politically. How can they exist, continue to survive financially, to offer free "info", side by side with good sites that have to operate behind a paywall?
Borowitz, TT, NewYorker, The Times, WaPo deserve to make some money, but they should obviously be getting a fairer cut from the companies that are gouging rate payers.
I saw someone with a Hulk punching dRumpf away from a podium,
floating around here.
He makes enough goofy faces, spastic movements and bizarre gesticulations that could have some sparks and lightning bolts added to them.
I just don't have the technical skill, or the artistic flair. But I know what I like.
I remember when the rightie repugs got all worked up about an altered photo they posted
that purported to show Prez O and the French Prez looking at a young lady's rear as they descended a staircase and she was going up. The uncropped photo showed he was looking at and helping an older woman down the stairs.
But they really got worked up about a Prez looking at a woman, like that. That kind of thing really runs counter to the deeply held values they have, values they feel the need to loudly and forcefully espouse, constantly.
Funny how the same crowd is now wildly backing the orange drumpfensnatcher for prez, now.
Not ha ha funny, but funny nonetheless.
The break up of non-aligned Yugoslavia only benefitted fascist elements in Slovenia, Croatia, Opus
Dei, and the West. Poppy bush's fault. The Croatian Ustasi were always a pawn of far right interests both in the US and Germany. Never a friend of the Democrats. I don't know how closely aligned the current Serb leadership is with Putin, I heard Czech & Slovak ian leaders may be with Putin.
But the threat to pull out of NATO is definitely not going to play well with all the far rightie repug national Heritage Group members who have Balkan, East European, or Baltic countries with borders that are contiguous with Putin's Russia. So that sort of offsets any 'far right Serbian-American voter' gains tRump is hoping to make with his "sorry the US sucks" apology tour.
I'm glad the Times went with the story, despite the threats. They're not all bad.
Speaking of the Times, we also have this from one of their employees:
" NYT columnist Frank Bruni: ‘Hillary Clinton should watch her language very carefully’
Yahoo News NowOctober 12, 2016
New York Times columnist Frank Bruni said Wednesday that should Hillary Clinton win the presidency — which he predicted — she should focus on being a leader for the whole country so that the next segment of American politics doesn’t feel like another war being fought.
Bruni told Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric, “Hillary Clinton should watch her language very carefully, because it’s that sort of thing that tells people, ‘I’m not looking at someone that’s leading me, I’m looking at someone who is a victor in a battle, the next chapter of which we are about to begin.'”
“So many politicians, Democrats, Republicans, everything is a fight, us versus them. So much of the language is the language of contest. It’s almost like being in a courtroom where two sides are arguing with each other for the favor of the jury. We are all in this together, this project is all of us.” "
So, the other party has been running, failingly, on statements that they'd jail Hillary, with several second amendment mentions against her, calling her the devil, crooked, lyin, crazy, a murderer, statements that they might just prefer to start a civil war, she already stole the election, we're going to go physically stop her and her voters, and a long stream of violent and foul language including incitements to physical assault and sexual assault, and the worst potty mouthed language ever heard by any major party candidate ever, (outside of li'l bush, raygun, and Nixon cutting room floor tapes).
But some NY Times editor thought that we should hear from Frank Bruni about how Prez Clinton should watch her mouth. What, did they bring back Clark Hoyt to man the editor's desk over there? We don't need this kind of false equivalency supporting the repugs' viewpoint from the Times, when dRumpf and his repug buddies get sent packing.
If this election is won, it's won fair and square. It isn't reasonable of the Times to start out the winning candidates' administration by chiding the winner on language, considering the language the loser and his party has constantly, failingly been using, and getting away with.
The language is failing to aid their attempt to claw and gouge for power, but they're successfully using it without the drastic legal and social consequences they deserve.
And the Times is trying to start out this way at -.25 years into the next Admin.
The Times should be forced to acknowledge this fact. They also should understand that you can't pretend to be the voice of reason while engaged in saying something so eye-crossingly unreasonable.
