Takeback the Takeback

by | 99 Comments

This post is in: 

Trump has now, predictably, reversed himself on whether he was upset with the crowd chanting “send her back” and said they’re all “incredible patriots”. He also denied that Melania and Ivanka asked him to tone it down on the racism, so, as Betty said earlier, that was bullshit that no decent reporter should have accepted.

The pattern of something terrible happening at a rally, Trump kinda-sorta disavowing it, then coming back with a full-throated defense of his core racist supporters, is common and predictable. There’s no reason that the media should report one of his little takebacks without noting that he’s taken back the takeback before.

(If you want to see something positive, here’s a minute of Ilhan Omar being welcomed home by supporters at the Minneapolis airport.)

Seattle has the second highest percentage of LGBTQ people in the US – 13% I believe. It’s a refuge surrounded by hundreds of miles of mild to extreme bigotry. Proud Boys show up regularly in the most gay neighborhood. So far there are few threats to Muslims thankfully.

    QuickBooks Cloud Hosting Firm iNSYNQ Hit in Ransomware Attack

    Cloud hosting provider iNSYNQ says it is trying to recover from a ransomware attack that shut down its network and has left customers unable to access their accounting data for the past three days. Unfortunately for iNSYNQ, the company appears to be turning a deaf ear to the increasingly anxious cries from its users for more information about the incident.

    […]

    I’m surprised it has taken this long, actually, for an attack on a “cloud” like this.

    Relatedly, NextGov:

    One day after President Trump said he was “looking into” the Pentagon’s $10 billion JEDI cloud contract, four Republican lawmakers from the House Armed Services Committee are asking him to stay out of it.

    The Pentagon is currently weighing competing bids from tech giants Microsoft and Amazon for the right to build a cloud that would host, store and analyze a wide range of sensitive and classified military data available to warfighters and policymakers around the world.

    A letter authored by HASC Ranking Member Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, and committee members Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Michael Turner, R-Ohio and Robert Wittman, R-VA., asks Trump to ignore outside complaints about the contract and let the Defense Department award the contract to keep pace technological pace with foreign adversaries, including China.

    “We believe that it is essential for our national security to move forward as quickly as possible with the award and implementation of this contract,” said the Republican lawmakers, who sit on one of the two Congressional committees with Pentagon oversight responsibilities. “It meets only a portion of DOD’s needs for cloud, but it is an important first step. Moving to the cloud will help DOD operate faster, more efficiently and compete with adversaries, like China.

    “Our committee has conducted oversight of this contract from the beginning. As you know, the courts have upheld DOD’s handling of this competition. While it is understandable that some of the companies competing for the contract are disappointed at not being selected as one of the finalists, further unnecessary delays will only damage our security and increase the costs of the contract.”

    In remarks made Thursday, Trump mentioned complaints from Microsoft—which is a finalist for the contract—as well as Oracle and IBM, which had their bids for the contract tossed out for not meeting certain baseline criteria. Oracle lost its eight-month lawsuit over the contract last week in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims after alleging conflicts of interest between Amazon Web Services and the Defense Department. IBM had its bid protest dismissed procedurally in December by the Government Accountability Office.

    In a June appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox, influential Republican Rep. Mark Meadows called the Amazon allegations “incredible” and called for an investigation. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, who chairs the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee, asked acting Defense Secretary Mark Esper in a late June letter to hold off on awarding JEDI until an investigation is completed. According to the Associated Press, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said JEDI’s bidding process should be restarted.

    Nothing like having the Stable Genius and Javanka get involved. Just another day ending in “y”.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    SUMMER VACATION IN AN AGE OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS, PART 2.
    8 Comments
    BY CHARLI CARPENTER / ON JULY 19, 2019 / AT 3:27 PM / IN GENERAL 181 VIEWS

    On the first day of my trip, I focused on speaking to every possible random American I could about the children being held without parents on the border. It began with a question by the 50-something African-American airport convenience store clerk on my Atlanta layover: “Would you like to make a donation to our troops?”

    And the spirit moved me to say neither yes nor not today but “I’m sorry, I’m giving all my donations to those children being held in concentration camps on our border.” Her face changed instantly and what had been a formulaic trope she spouted to all customers became the spark for a real a human conversation. She reached out and touched me. “Oh, thank you honey,” she said. “You know, when 2020 comes we gon throw that fool out!”

    I don’t know if this ugly and insane episode is a one-off or the start of something new. But Trump moved from setting up one of his flunkies to defend the indefensible, and then running them over with a bus in public, and then backing up over them, to doing that for the whole GOP.

    It is’s a trend, I guess good set-up for the general in 2020. Not a good look for the GOP.

    This got marked as spam… repeat post.

    Some other takebacks

    NY Mag today, on Dershowitz. (It covers much more than this.)

    (A) large stack of spreadsheets was waiting on the table. They were a detailed breakdown, Dershowitz said, of his whereabouts and activities during the years ( … that) Giuffre says) that Dershowitz had s/x with her… . On August 1, 1999, for instance, the spreadsheets say he stayed on the Vineyard and had a meeting with a certain “Prince Bandar.” (Dershowitz later clarified it wasn’t the famous Saudi prince.)

    (Dershowitz ) said he found Epstein enthralling. “He was feisty, he was utterly politically incorrect,” Dershowitz said. “He was interesting to be with.
    …
    “By the time I got to know him, I had already represented a lot of very, very wealthy people,” Dershowitz said. “I was much more interested in his quirky mind.”
    …
    For around a decade, Dershowitz kept casual company with Epstein, who introduced him to his friends…. Dershowitz visited Epstein’s mansions in New York and Palm Beach and occasionally accompanied him on his private plane. Dershowitz says these trips were family-oriented. Once, Epstein lent him the Palm Beach home so he could attend a granddaughter’s soccer tournament. Another time, he and his nephew flew down to watch a space launch with another Epstein connection, a top NASA official.

    (Around the year 2000) Dershowitz served as a character witness for the reclusive financier. He told Vanity Fair that he shared manuscripts of his books with Epstein before they were published and swore that his money was irrelevant. “I would be as interested in him as a friend if we had hamburgers on the boardwalk in Coney Island and talked about his ideas,” he told the magazine. …

    Today, Dershowitz claims they were never really friends despite their proximity. “He was an acquaintance,” he said. “In retrospect, I wish I hadn’t taken the case, but I didn’t see a problem with taking the case. We didn’t have a close, personal relationship.”

    In a letter, Epstein’s Palm Beach defense lawyer introduced Dershowitz to prosecutors as “a close friend of Mr. Epstein’s.” … Dershowitz now claims his involvement in the case was superficial. “Remember, I’m a legal-lawyer,” he said, saying his role, as an eminent Harvard professor, was limited to providing “big picture” guidance. But the records of the Palm Beach investigation include a letter from Dershowitz that delves into the seamy details, describing the work of Epstein’s private detectives, and questioning the character of one of his accusers. (It related that her social-media posts showed an “apparent fascination with mar ij- ana.”)

    “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this letter,” Dershowitz said when I showed it to him. He pointed out that it appeared to have been signed on his authorization by Epstein’s local attorney.

    While Dershowitz said that he “was occasionally presented with investigative reports,” he contended that he was under the impression that his client’s accusers were mainly adult women. “He was facing charges for … mostly 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds, but, as he put it, some 17-year-olds ‘slipped through the cracks,’” Dershowitz said. “When I negotiated with the state attorney, the words 14, 15, 16 never came up.”

    This is hard to believe. When Epstein was indicted in 2006, the headline in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel was: PALM BEACH RESIDENT FACES SOLIC IT ATION CHARGE; BUSINESSMAN ACCUSED OF S/X WITH MIN ORS.

    Epstein served 13 months in the Palm Beach County jail, in a private wing where Dershowitz visited him on New Year’s Day 2009.

    The plea bargain was inexplicably lenient. “You can complain that maybe I did too good a job,” Dershowitz would later tell a television news reporter in Florida. “Hey, I’m pleading guilty.”

    Yep. Trump is truly twisted. He doesn’t mind being racist, but he craves love and approval, so he bristles when criticized, and often falls back on the most childish denials that he said anything wrong.

    But he can’t help himself. His raw hate for anyone who opposes him inevitably rises up again and must be let loose, even worse than before.

    This is just like the dishonest car mechanics I’ve occasionally had to deal with. One recently tried to charge me $200 for “disassembling” and “repairing” my hood latch (unasked) before he charged me an exhorbitant amount for an oil change. Then he offered to cut me a bargain by charging only $100 extra for the non-approved work. When I pointed out that he had not in fact “disassembled” the latch but simply squirted WD-40 on it, he denied that he had ever said he disassembled it and offered a song and dance about why I misunderstood him. When I handed him his printout with the words “disassembled hood latch”, he denied that he had ever denied that he disassembled the latch – which he insisted he had in fact done and just to show me he wasn’t going to charge me for it.

    Prior to Charlottesville, the MO of the Nazi leadership like “Baked Alaska” was to recruit and incite online through Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, etc, and let those who were lesser to do the violence and killing.

    Dolt45’s election changed all that.

  99. 99.

    @John Revolta:

    He’s really not that stupid. He’s “shitposting”,

    and he wasn’t homeschooled.

    They are always trolling.

    They will tell you 150 unprovable lies about themselves, 50 provable lies, ( with research), 25 unprovable truths, 10 proveable truths.

    A lot of what “antifia” does in doxxing them is to find the inconsistent lies, the consistent lies, the inconsistent truths and the consistent truths from their “personal” to attach a real name to their persona.
