    This reminds me, I’ve been thinking of picking up Michelle O’s book. I figure it couldn’t hurt to read something by someone I respect and admire.

    “In a statement the Met police said: “The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster magistrates court, and was invited into the embassy by the ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum.”

    The home secretary, Sajid Javid, said: “Nearly seven years after entering the Ecuadorian embassy, I can confirm Julian Assange is now in police custody and rightly facing justice in the UK. I would like to thank Ecuador for its cooperation & @metpoliceuk for its professionalism. No one is above the law.”

    Per NY Times, Julian Assange has been arrested. Yippee. Talk, little man.

    Julian Assange was arrested. The WikiLeaks founder was evicted from the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he had been living since 2012.
    Thursday, April 11, 2019 5:52 AM EST
    Mr. Assange faces a British charge of skipping bail and is wanted in the United States on charges of releasing secret documents.

    Since Assange is a Russian asset, I expect the Russians to arrest some innocent Brits and arrange a prisoner exchange.

Of course that is the 21st of April and Songkran is the 13th, 14th, and 15th, but there was probably a glitch when they changed from the lunar to the solar calendar.

    It’s just amazing, though, how Trumpism doesn’t fly anywhere outside the Presidency.

    We’re in the ridiculous position where the presidency has much lower standards than, oh, sitting on the federal bench or working for a major corporation. Kirstjen Nielsen can hold an incredibly powerful position within the Trump Administration but she’s too damaging for a commercial “brand” to be associated with her outside that rock bottom collection of individuals.

    It’s 100% true too. If Trump were the CEO of a major company they would remove him – what he said in his first campaign alone would make him a public relations problem they don’t want. Yet he’s the face of the United States. We’ve carved out a special low standards spot for Donald Trump- it just happens to be the presidency.

    His was discovered as they were doing X-rays for his severe arthritis. Surgery isn’t really advisable, since he’s already outlived his expected life span by at least two years, and his mobility issues cause him more pain. So we’re doing meds to give him relief from that while I spoil him rotten for the next few weeks, or until the tumor becomes more of a rupture threat.

    I’m doing this test knitting gig for a yarn company. It was a hippie company purchased by a larger company – but still a small company. Anyway the person coordinating this warned me about the pattern because it’s an old pattern they want to re release. It doesn’t have diagrams, no row count, some of the instructions aren’t very clear. I started on it last night and it’s like all the patterns were for most of my knitting life. I actually find it refreshing not to have a 12 page pattern with schematics, indexes, and all the rest.

    I feel like telling them that if they think this knitting pattern is reckless they would be horrified that we used to lie down in the back of the station wagon on long trips – after unbuckling our lap only seatbelts and flopping ourselves over the seat back.

    My own opinion is all the people like Assange who are supporting the far Right here and in other countries because they see the far Right as disruptive of old orders and institutions are going to find out that there is an authoritarian ideology on the far Right that comes along right behind the “disruption” and it’s here. That will now come to the fore.

    They thought it would be freer without institutions, but that isn’t how this works- the far Right just puts in their own institutions and those will be less free. They’re in power now, and that’s different than being insurgents. They’ll wield it.

Did you hear him yesterday urging the military to “get rough” on the asylum seekers? Their disruptive destroyer of the status quo is an authoritarian.

    I think one of the things we’re going to find out in the primary is whether people- regular voters, not the most engaged- will respond to a general message of positivity more than relying on a specific set of requirements or issues re: the candidates.

    The Trump people- and Trumpism- is relentlessly negative and nasty and ungenerous and I wonder if people are tired of that, so someone like Mayor Pete or Cory Booker or Joe Biden – what I think of as the “positive” candidates is what they’re looking for. Booker and Biden particularly have this insistent upbeat approach – which is partly temperament- and that may be what people are looking for as a counter to Trump’s nastiness – his just plain meanness. Trump at base is a nasty piece of work- he’s negative. There’s no generosity or expansiveness. Clinton said it “wouldn’t wear well” and we’re about to find out if it does or not.

    @MomSense:OT, but I remember back to when I was 16 pumping gas at a car wash my Dad owned. After pumping 3,000+ gallons of it on a 95-100 degree summer Saturday in the San Fernando Valley it wasn’t such a pleasant or sweet smell. Clothes and everything reeked of it – hands too, not to mention the headache, Today I always wear vinyl gloves when I pump my own gas, even though it’s no longer leaded it’s still not all that good for you. But as obvious as it seems today we never really thought it was anything more than stinky, somewhat unpleasant stuff that you did as part of a common, everyday summer vacation job.

He’s fundamentally unsuited to the role he decided to play, the “independent savior who shows us a way forward”. He’s nasty and critical and negative. Every word out of his mouth is some variation of “no”.

    Maybe that’s gone in the US, the kind of yearning for optimism so it no longer flies as an approach, but I wonder if it is. If it still exists, a Biden or a Booker or a Mayor Pete are offering it.

    @satby: We used to get yelled at to “SIT DOWN!” on a semi regular basis but it was never a matter of safety. It was because we were having too much fun. Either that or the fights were getting out of control.

    @satby: Thanks. Hemangiosarcoma is a very unpleasant disease. :-( I’m sorry your Hershey is going through that.

    Here’s hoping that his last days are comfortable. Hang in there.

    Best wishes,
    Scott.

    @satby: I sat on my brother’s lap in the back seat of our car when our station wagon died. I also rode in the back of a pick up truck as a child.
    @Immanentize: I used to like the smell of cigarette smoke outside. I don’t smoke and neither did my parents, but when I was little most people did, so whenever we had parties or relatives over, the house was filled with smoke.

    @NotMax: My wife disagrees. :-( She had always wanted a sibling, somebody to share more than just memories with. My mother always said, “The best thing we ever gave you guys was each other.” She was right.

    Whenever my sons started fighting, not arguing but fighting, I would always admonish them with the statement that “Someday I am going to die, and your brother is the only person you will be able to count on.”

    @NotMax: He’s doing well. Finally back at work and able to stay on his feet all day (not w/o pain tho). It’s a good place to work and they pay well too. Keeping my fingers crossed that he and his SO have finally turned a corner. They’ve had a few rough years.

    @Baud:

    Yeah, it was on my way to visiting the Pope for a campaign boosting photo op.

    Which appears to be filtered on all social media. Who forgot to wear pants in the photo?

    Assange sucks but prosecuting publishers seems extremely dangerous and troubling to me.

    Trump may be looking to make an example of the fake news media. His supporters will be cackling like fools all the way.
