Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

    Just got done watching the clusterF on CNN. Frumps campaign posted a photo of Air Force I at a crowded Daytona from… 2004 – claiming it was from today. The correct photo from today’s event shows a sparse crowd in contrast. Frump landed, did his thing and flew off before the race even started. He’s such an imbecile??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

    @Jackie:

    It was partly because of the weather, I believe. Still, NASCAR has fallen quite a bit from it’s peak in the early 2000s. Good god, remember the “NASCAR Dads” thing? I have to wonder if NASCAR will recover at all in the next 10 years or sink further in obscurity, retreating further back to a regional motorsport. Personally, it’s decline was sortof inevitable, even without the dumb gimmicks and rule changes that have been commonplace since 2004. The massive popularity from the late 90s-early 00s was unsustainable. All of the big name drivers would have still retired more or less at the same time, the recession would have still hit in 2007-08 putting a crimp on people’s budgets, larger cultural shifts in the US would still take place (car culture dying, people’s attention spans lowering, cable cutting, etc).

    What do people like Susan Collins get out of this? Do they get kickbacks? Is it simply the power the ego-boost they get from appearing to be Reasonable Republicans? Collins pledged to only going to serve two terms when she first ran the Senate. (Not directed towards you) What possible justification could she have given for running for a 3rd term? And why wasn’t she hounded about breaking that promise?

    Apologies if this has already been posted in another thread but I liked this article from the LA Times: Stop pulling out your hair, Democrats. You CAN beat Trump.

    Favorite excerpt:

    In 2012, when then-incumbent Obama ran against Mitt Romney, he had a very bad first debate. He was rusty, he seemed listless.

    Democrats immediately proclaimed the end was nigh.

    One prophet of doom, the erstwhile conservative Andrew Sullivan, wrote perhaps the most hysterical assessment: “A sitting president does not recover from being obliterated on substance, style and likability in the first debate and get much of a chance to come back. He has, at a critical moment, deeply depressed his base and his supporters and independents are flocking to Romney in droves.” (The headline on his essay: “Did Obama Just Throw the Entire Election Away?”)

    Less than a month later, Obama soundly beat Romney, 51.1% to 47.2%, earning 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206.

    I never understood why commenters here paid attention to Sullivan but I thought maybe they saw something I didn’t. I completely ignored his opinion after that episode and refuse to hate watch Bill Maher when he’s on.

    I had a boss back in TX who was a total NASCAR fan.  High School assistant principal.  Could not help himself, had to use NASCAR references in every damn staff meeting to the utter annoyance of the majority female staff who had the eye-rolls perfected.  Especially the black women who I promise you have no use for white supervisors rambling on endlessly about life lessons illustrated by NASCAR.  That’s probably some definition of white privilege right there.  Thinking that everyone else cares about your precious NASCAR.

    I’m sure he is a big time Trumper now.  I stopped following him on FB when I left that job.

    And good fucking riddance to NASCAR.  Never been to a race but I know that I-35W north of Fort Worth becomes obscenely congested and brought to a standstill every time there is a big event at the TX Motor Speedway.  And there are absolutely no viable alternative routes around it.

    I watched his pre-race address on YouTube for kicks.  No teleprompter, he read it off the podium, and didn’t make any mistakes, but did read it without nuance or feeling, like usual, like it was his first time seeing the words.  The speech was kind of poorly written, but I doubt the current WH has any NASCAR experts on staff.

    As for the Daytona 500, great observation about the declining audience aging out.  I couldn’t find year-to-year attendance numbers, but did find mention of how the track took out a bunch of seats in a renovation that began in 2013: “When the huge project was done, the number of permanent seats at the speedway had gone from 146,000 to 101,500. That’s 44,500 seats gone, or 31 percent of its former capacity. ”

     

    Finally, in the “everything trump touches dies” category, the race was rained out today.  Ha!  Dog is on our side!

    I was watching Melania when they were out of the car; she looked like she was having a root canal. Apparently, auto racing is not her thing (nor is football, nor Holiday decorating, nor…).

    Assuming she doesn’t try to take it all after Hubby checks out of the picture (meaning, the Children have to end up suing her as opposed to actually, ya know, getting a job), my guess is she disappears and she is never, ever heard from again. Good riddance.

    @BR: My personal asbestos story: At Bath Iron Works in 1982 a very large wooden crate was deposited on the ship’s quarterdeck one day during overhaul. It was prominently stenciled “Danger: Asbestos” which raised quite a few eyebrows. Then some enterprising sailor showed up with a can of black spray paint and made the issue moot.

    Since no post on Bizarroworld and its right-wing inhabitants would be complete without their rage overwhelming their common sense, I give you today’s best headline: ‘Communist’ FOX network angers Trump fans at Daytona 500 by cutting to commercial as he begins speech.

    FOX’s cameras were also criticized for cutting away from Trump’s lap at the Daytona 500 in his presidential limo. Instead, fans were treated to a commercial from Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

    Which makes me grin, and gently whisper on the winds of their fury “Heidi” :-)

    Think of it this way- when you see celebrities like Snoop Dogg backing Bill Cosby, it’s really offputting. They know what he did like we all do and yet they pretend hes normal somehow or that it isnt a big deal. Trump didnt do exactly what Cosby did, though hes got plenty of credible accusations along those lines (and has been recorded bragging about it). Not only that, but Trump has a laundry list of questionable and downright fucked up things that hes done and said. He may be the president but the majority of folks cant pretend that hes anything but awful. The people who do look past these things, even ADORE him for it- at this point in the game, they have to be morally and/or intellectually damaged in some way.

    “People demanding others how to think.”

    “Guilty by association”

    Ahhhhahh! Oh my god, this shit pisses me off so much! It’s fucking everywhere on places like Reddit. This is a fantastic example of the banality of evil. JFC. I’m sorry, but if you’re willing to pose with Trump in a picture at this point, you’re a terrible person. Full stop. He is personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of human beings whether they be Puerto Ricans hung out to dry after Maria or the unnecessary migrant deaths in CBP custody. Or hell, the soldiers NASCAR and it’s fans pretend to give a shit about before every race. Over 120 troops suffered traumatic brain injuries that Trump called “headaches”. The absolute unwillingness to turn away from this POS by his supporters is fucking disgusting. There’s no bottom.

    Trump has also hollowed out many institutions, is an active threat to American democracy, and has stolen years we could’ve been using to try to mitigate climate change. Not to mention a whole slew of other shit.

    You know something else? Hitler was a vegetarian who abhorred animal abuse. Literally nobody is a mustache twirling caricature. Many people are perfectly nice in person, to certain people. But they can still be awful people otherwise. Many KKK members back in it’s heyday were important civic leaders and were probably lovely fathers to their children. Still awful terrible people, on balance. Posing with Trump isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it definitely shows a lack of awareness at the very least and at the worst approval or just flat out not caring

    I wish people would stop with this “Politics are icky and I’m so above it all and when you criticize me/people I like that really means you’re demanding I think a certain way!”

    Mango Mussolini is coming to Phoenix on Wednesday for one of his Nuremberg rallies. Rally is at 7pm. Venue opens at 3pm. The place is called Veterans Memorial Coliseum located within the  the state fairgrounds. The venue is very near the two major freeways in Phoenix and not far from another two. Thus guaranteeing neither trains or cars will run on time in Phoenix on Wed during rush hour.  BTW I find it interesting they chose a state owned facility for the event. I am guessing the state will be stiffed by the campaign for pretty much everything. Also too the capacity is 14500 incase Mango Mussolini lies about that. Oh, my other thought is that nobody else thought Mango would pay up so turned them down

    Meanwhile, in Africa… Al Jazeera:

    The United States’s top diplomat has arrived in Senegal at the start of a whistle-stop tour of three African countries, with analysts viewing it as a bid to counter Chinese influence in Africa at a time of growing confusion over Washington’s strategy on the continent.

    On his first official trip to a sub-Saharan African country since taking office almost two years ago, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will also visit Angola and Ethiopia.

    Pompeo has already warned of what he called China’s “dangerous influence” on the African continent, saying in January that Chinese investment feeds corruption and undermines the rule of law, and presenting the US as an alternative.

    Joseph Ochieno, a political analyst, called Pompeo’s comments “almost hypocritical”.

    “I don’t think the US can tell Africa that American companies are necessarily the cleaner ones when it comes to the continent,” he told Al Jazeera, alluding to past corruption and patronage scandals involving US companies in Africa.

    How big a role does China play across the African continent?

    Beijing surpassed Washington as Africa’s largest trading partner more than a decade ago, forming a relationship worth about $204bn in trade, according to China’s Ministry of Commerce.

    Several African states have also signed on to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which has seen Beijing finance power plants, roads and other infrastructure projects across the continent.

    As a result of the billions of dollars in loans provided by China towards such projects, the country has become Africa’s largest debt holder.

    “The US is realising that they were playing games with Africa but China came in – and came in fairly big with minimum, if any, conditions,” Ochieno said.

    “Africa is up for grabs, unfortunately”.

    ‘Mixed messages’

    Pompeo’s visit comes at a tense moment, with Washington mulling military cuts in the restive Sahel region and imposing travel bans on four more African countries, bringing the total to six.

    A perceived disinterest by President Donald Trump, who has yet to visit Africa and has described the continent in derogatory terms, has not improved the situation, worsened by travel bans recently imposed on four more African countries, bringing the total to six.

    Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque, reporting from the Senegalese capital said the US was “sending mixed signals” in encouraging trade and investment with African nations, while also expanding the travel ban and considering a potential reduction in US military presence.

    Countries in West Africa’s Sahel region are struggling to protect their citizens against armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL, who have killed hundreds of civilians in the past year.

    Some have questioned whether the US’s commitment to restoring stability in the region is waning as the Pentagon announced this week that it will start adjusting its military presence in Africa as it considers cuts, with resources instead expected to go to countering China, Russia and Iran.

    This month, however, the US military will hold its annual Flintlock exercises in Senegal and neighbouring Mauritania to help train regional armies to counter armed groups.

    One former US diplomat expressed confusion over the goals of Pompeo’s trip.

    “It’s not clear why he is going now and whether this is part of any broader US strategy on Africa, especially when the administration has indicated in just the last few weeks that it intends to exponentially reduce its security and aid investments,” the former diplomat, who requested anonymity to speak candidly, was quoted as saying by AFP news agency.

    “You can’t just check the box of having an Africa policy by stopping in a few countries on a big continent and then call that a strategy.”

    Good friend of mine is a Formula One driver who mostly works as a private coach to rich people who want the thrill of driving difficult precision cars as fast as possible and risking death while doing so.

    By contrast, Nascar is a glorified box car derby, with lots of goofballs and rules set up to make it all as entertaining as possible, with drivers bunched up and overtaking each other.

    I was at an event once where there was a Nascar driver speaking; my friend got up to follow him and said he understood there were some Nascar fans in the audience, so he was going to try to remember to talk real slow so they could follow along.

    Anyone know or have contact with reporters on the campaign trail, or live in either NV or SC and can go to some events?

    We need someone, urgently, to get the Hawaiian pseudo-candidate whose main support seems to be Fox and online sock puppets on the record.  She is either is looking to be a spoiler against the Dem nominee or wants VP to Bernie.  We need someone to get her on record (with video) answering something like this: “why are you competing against Bernie given your past support of him and why do you think you’d be a better president than Bernie?”  She’s allowed to get coverage without ever answering this basic question, and we need to put daylight between her and Bernie now, not a few months from now, so that his supporters don’t wander off regardless of who wins the nomination.

    If she doesn’t have to answer this, and she doesn’t get picked by Bernie for VP (if he’s the nominee), she’ll lead her own purity brigade and turn 5-10% of the Berners against him for insufficient purity.  If he isn’t the nominee then she will aim to take 5-10% of the Berners with her since the nominee won’t be sufficiently pure.  Win win for her, lose lose for us.

    So, anyone in NV or SC who can go to a rally of hers and ask, with a friend taking video?
