Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Rescue angel and beloved commentor Satby:

Since people have been hearing about my foster adventures with these three I thought I would share a picture for a respite / open thread. The little black and white one is the feral kitten, you can see he prefers to keep a sharp eye on me.

The marks on the floor are water stains aggravated by constant upending of water bowls. Carpet goes when they do!

    @Mary G: Our Maine Coon mix rescue boy weighed nearly 20 pounds. Our old house had long windows with the original (drafty!!) wavy antique glass panes still intact.

    We had a narrow, tall cat tree upstairs that our 6 pound Oriental Shorthair liked to lounge on while he looked out the window at squirrels, or watched the neighbor kids playing in their yard in the afternoon.

    Big Maine Coon guy decided on his second day post rescue that the skinny cat tree looked like the place to be, took a flying leap from the bed to the cat tree, and knocked it right out the second story window.

    He proceeded to stroll back across the room jump up on the bed and casually clean his tail while we stood there agog, looking at the gaping hole where our window had been.

    He never realized his size, I think. He would try to cuddle into laps, and seemed so puzzled as to why he wouldn’t fit. Sweetest cat ever.

    Well, it’s finally here: my last day on the job at Miami-Dade County Public Schools. I get two weeks of vacation to use up my unused vacation days, then I’m officially retired on August 31. But on September 3 I go back to work, this time for a local charter school to basically pick up where I leave off here: doing grants administration and providing support to the ongoing quest for funding for education. So, as I said at my retirement party, it’s not goodbye; it’s just intermission. And I’ll have more time to hang out here, you lucky ducks. :)

    @Mustang Bobby: big congrats!

    And thanks to all who thanked me. My little charges actually went to the kitten whisperer’s this weekend so that they could get their immunizations and the feral get more intensive socializing. He’s so tiny compared to the other two, who were supposed to be 8 weeks in that picture. If the little guy does well, he’ll be adopted. If not we would normally bring him to one of our network of farmers to be a barn cat after they’re spayed or neutered, but I said I would take him back if he’s not adoptable. He got a raw deal being separated from his mom so young.

    Further down on front page I see the reports on the Nazis marching in Portland. Bloomington, Indiana here in south central Indiana made the NYTimes, a long article. Link below, assuming this comment will post with a link in it. The Farmers market was cancelled for a few weeks because a couple were outed for being white supremacists, identitarians;

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/18/us/indiana-farmers-market-white-supremacy.html

    To be honest about this, this is one of those cases where they were not doing anything, were not promoting ideology, just selling vegetables, but activists outed them, and it went all downhill from there. But it is symptomatic of Trump’s America, and how the racist right and neo-Nazis feel liberated by Trump and the GOP. The Farmers Market here is a long standing institution, people of the city turn out for it in droves. and it was threatened with extinction.

    What the NYTimes did not report, at least I did not see it, is that some local co-ops have apparently started up a counter farmers market which promises NOT to allow white nationalists or hate groups to participate. Not sure how that supports freedom of expression, and I think it undermines a long standing valuable institution supported by the city. FWIW, the very liberal Democratic mayor of the city was pretty specific in supporting freedom of speech through all this.

    FWIW, I saw somewhere this morning a photo of Dwight Eisenhower, labeled as a member of antifa. I thought that sums up nicely how far the GOP has fallen.

    Spoke with a friend for the first time in a long while, perhaps as long as a couple of years. He’s the kind of guy who is constantly busy during his free time with more hobbies than Heinz has varieties. Includes taking astronomy photos during the wee hours. Always suspected he only sleeps like four hours at night, otherwise don’t see how he can fit it all in.
    Anyhoo, found out what the latest thing is he’s into.

    @rikyrah:

    I’m reading their critiques of the “concept” – none of them have read it, so we’re in concept critique territory here- and they’re just wrong:

    Timothy Sandefur
    @TimothySandefur
    ·Aug 17
    But America began with a declaration that all men are created equal—which was understood the moment it was uttered as rendering slavery anathema.

    Then this:

    The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 was an Act of the United States Congress to give effect to the Fugitive Slave Clause of the US Constitution (Article 4, Section 2, Clause 3), which was later superseded by the Thirteenth Amendment.

    To say the declaration was the reality and not the laws seems insane to me. They know these two things are inconsistent – “created equal”, “fugitive slave act” so they come down on the side of what the United States declared rather than the actual laws at the time?

    They want to say “look at the declaration and the aspiration and not the actual laws or actions!” and they insist everyone else look at it that way too. But why do have to join them? There’s a lot of problems with their theory! I personally don’t think it hangs together. They’re going to have to explain some of these contradictions. They’re all sneering that it’s “social science” but these laws weren’t “social science”. They were the laws of the United States, and they were put in after 1776. If we were trying to invent “all men are created equal” we weren’t doing a very good job.

    So the board of the Farmer’s Market took up the question of dividing the space left by the butcher shop that pulled out and interviewed me regarding my application to purchase 8 feet of it for a booth. But it seems that they decided to divide the space differently than what I and another vendor who owns the space next door proposed. I have to look at how they divvied it up, but it may leave me with no outside door, and that’s a dealbreaker for me. I think the third potential owner wanted two doors and spoke to the board first. But I’m also skeptical she’s going to come up with the money to actually purchase, so the whole thing might fall through.
    So much drama over so little.

    @OzarkHillbilly:

    We’re supposed to ignore all the laws and actions post-1776 and instead focus solely on the aspirational ideal. That’s how we determine motive and intent – we look exclusively at what people say and not what they do. So if Lyndon Johnson had just said “all men are created equal” and never brought forth any civil rights laws, that’s exactly the same as championing and passing civil rights laws. No actions necessary. Just declarations.

    It’s actually really consistent with how they treat Trump. He “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body” Did he or did he NOT say that? Well, then why are you calling him a racist? He declared differently!

    I find it literally disgusting how much of conservatism consists of “me, me, me”. Everything is a reflection on them. An AA poet can’t write a poem without it being taken as some personal insult to CATO employees.

    We were supposed to be talking about slavery and instead we are once again talking about how conservatives perceive themselves. We’re not permitted to look at another view of historical events and their impact because that makes individual, modern conservatives doubt how fabulous they are. Ted Cruz looks at this NYTimes project and sees an attack on the GOP. It’s just the level of self-centeredness. It’s pathological. They are CONSUMED with their own starring role in the country. They have to be, MUST be, the only true Americans.

    It just seems perfectly valid to me to say “ok, we have grounded our concept of ourselves in the declarations of principles but there’s this alternative way of looking at it, where we COULD look at the laws and actions”. How is that invalid? That’s legit.
    IMO, their view is much more “social science” than the other. They’re asking us to attribute motives and intent that are contrary to actions. That’s pretty abstract! A LOT of filling in going on there.
    They support the “ideal”. Ya know, in their hearts. They just oppose every concrete action to reach the ideal. What are black people supposed to do with that? It’s useless.

It sure as hell is history and it’s much more solid than gazing into George Washington’s heart and determining he didn’t have a racist bone in his body. It is bizarre for adults to take this so personally. You shouldn’t be permitted to keep this sappy, sentimental view of history past 4th grade. You have to grow up.

    @Kay: While there are definitely too many out and proud racist white people who actively, constantly hate the existence of black people and other minorities, there’s another type of racist white person who just finds them icky and frightening and doesn’t want to be around black people, or worse, their children to be around black children.

    One type of racist isn’t necessarily better than another, but it’s worth recognizing the existence of the second type because they are where so much of the contradiction and ear-plugging comes from. The out and proud racists would be happy to point to the racism in the Constitution and demand we honor it. The type-2 racists want to pretend to be good people, but don’t want to risk any policies that, in improving the lives of minorities, might allow those minorities into their not-technically-gated communities and not-technically-segregated schools.

    I was listening to two former Obama people on a podcast. They did issue polling for Democrats in Wisconsin. Issue polling is different than horserace polling. They chose Wisconsin to represent the general trends in WI, MI and PA because those states will be grouped- if WI moves R or D so do PA and MI.
    The single best anti-Trump message in WI is “he’s a fake populist who didn’t help anyone except rich people”
    So. Unless you can give me some states to replace those states that has to be part of Democratic campaigns. There has to be an appeal to economic populism. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s exactly what Obama ran on in these same states in 2012 against Mitt Romney.
    So, in my view, the Democratic nominee has to be strong on that. Not to carry “white working class” or to pander to them, but because in these states among ALL voters that attack works better than anything else, by 30 points. I think they all know it too. Even people we don’t think of as populists – Corey Booker- are sounding economic populist themes.

    And these states- MI< WI, and PA are different than some of the up and coming western states for Democrats because there aren't a lot of voters who haven't been approached or counted. There's less room for growth. So whatever we do there HAS to appeal to people who already vote. There's not enough "nonvoters" or "new voters" who are going to come out of the woodwork and be the margin. It's not like "wow- what could happen in Texas?" Or "what if we got ARIZONA?" They know what will happen in WI, MI and PA. They know who they have to reach.

    Not terribly off topic from the direction this thread has taken:

    The organization representing the nation’s most powerful chief executives is rewriting how it views the purpose of a corporation, updating its decades-old endorsement of the theory that shareholders’ interests should come above all else.

    The new statement, released Monday by the Business Roundtable, suggests balancing the needs of a company’s various constituencies and comes at a time of widening income inequality, rising expectations from the public for corporate behavior and proposals from Democratic lawmakers that aim to revamp or even restructure American capitalism.

    “Americans deserve an economy that allows each person to succeed through hard work and creativity and to lead a life of meaning and dignity,” reads the statement from the organization, which is chaired by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

    The group says its members “share a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders,” and commit to doing well by their customers, employees, suppliers and local communities. “Each of our stakeholders is essential,” the group adds. “We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.”

    Doesn’t sound like the Jaimie Dimon I remember. Oh wait …

    It was not immediately clear which members of the Business Roundtable supported or opposed the change. And it remains to be seen how much the companies change their practices in light of the new commitments.

    Yeah, well methinks they hear the footsteps behind them, and those would be of a herd of Democratic candidates.

    @Immanentize:

    I agree with the general premise but Tim Ryan just isn’t presidential material and never will be. He’s fine in Ohio- a lot of times he’s really useful for Democrats and is a good speaker among Ohio Democrats, but he wasn’t competitive against Warren because she’s better. It’s not the same league.

    @Immanentize:

    To me it means trouble for Biden, because he specifically chose another direction over economic populism and the strength if his candidacy is he supposedly beats Trump in those states. Now maybe that isn’t the strength of his candidacy- maybe it’s AA support- but that isn’t what he sold. He sold “I can win WI, PA and MI”

  83. 83.

    Betty Cracker

    @Kay: I heard that podcast too, and I suspect the same message would be effective everywhere. It’s true: Trump said during the campaign he would raise his own taxes and never cut Medicare. Instead, he cut rich people’s taxes and proposed massive cuts to Medicare. That’s hugely unpopular EVERYWHERE, and our eventual nominee should focus on it all the time. The corruption and self-dealing message flows from that too. He lied about draining the swamp.

    I don’t believe for a second that Trump will only get 40% of the vote. He’ll get the same 45-46% as before. Beating him depends on turning out the vote of people repulsed by him.

    I actually think Silver did a pretty good job. Someone who says that there is a 2/3 chance of A and a 1/3 chance of B isn’t really a failure is B happens. My memory of 2016 was that Silver was continually advising caution, especially when compared to some other poll aggregators. In particular, he warned constantly that there could be factors biasing the polls that would be systemic rather than independent across states. This was in response to those who admitted that polling has a margin of error, but that it was unlikely that all those margins of error would be wrong in the same direction. I was a constant reader in those closing days, and I definitely drew no comfort from Silver’s conclusions.

    President Trump confirmed Sunday that he has asked his administration to explore the possibility of buying Greenland, opining that “essentially, it’s a large real estate deal.”

    “A lot of things can be done,” Trump told reporters in Morristown, N.J., after wrapping up a 10-day vacation at his private golf club. He noted that owning Greenland “would be nice” for the United States from a strategic perspective, but he cautioned: “It’s not number one on the burner, I can tell you that.”

    While others mouth platitudes about what this country is about, WE have felt it in our bones.

    AND, by our existence and persistence, we have pushed this country to go beyond platitudes, and live up to its ideals.

    I just cannot tell you how much Obama 2012 relied on economic populism. It was all they ran on in Ohio. It was really granular too. There is a low cost department store that specializes in locating in down at the heels midwestern towns. All those empty storefronts, you know what I mean. They hit Mitt Romney on THOSE stores, because Bain had done some gross robber baron deal where they sucked all the value out of them. One discount clothing chain, but one that happens to be in a lot of Ohio towns.

    I have a bunch of back to the land hippy friends, and many of them worked various farm labor jobs, the ones that come to mind are planting trees on clear cut hillsides, picking apples up in New England, and detasseling corn for seed crops to hybridize. I’m sure there were many others. They liked it because they got paid by the piece work rather than by the hour, if they busted ass, they made a whole bunch of money and could return to their own little farms for the rest of the year.

    Many of then are now RNs working in hospitals, OR nurses, Trauma nurses in the ER, etc. Some of that work is pretty exciting at times, or just exacting in the operating rooms. Pays well, tho.

    @Patricia Kayden: I’m another! Of course, when I see a black kitty and an orange kitty, my first thought is that I could name them Jon and Tormund, so it follows that I loved the ending.

    @Kay:

    “Me, me, me” conservatives. You called it, Kay. I remember coming to that conclusion in the ’80’s.

    cute kitties! satby does such a great job with fostering and caring for dogs and cats.

    annoyed that i bought a NYT yesterday for the 1619 project but it wasn’t in the national edition?

    anyway, good idea from twitter – if you know any kids leaving for college soon, suggest they fill out applications for absentee ballots. from what i remember, republican states are making it difficult for out-of-state college kids to vote, so absentee may be the way to go.

    Same goes for everyone headed away for college or grad school, from anywhere to anywhere. If you want to vote in your hometown, take care of that absentee ballot application now. https://t.co/uCz5VohNcH is the best resource I'm aware of for all states: https://t.co/LjSzUnbANz— Adam Bonin (@adambonin) August 19, 2019

    @zhena gogolia: i looked through all the copies and didn’t see it :( i’m not that far in philly so i was sure we’d get it, must have been a snafu in the place i looked. i’m glad it’s online at least. a lot of “we’re not racist” conservatives are really showing their asses on twitter about it.
