Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

When I was faster i was always behind.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Bark louder, little dog.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Saturday Morning Open Thread: Vote the Bums Out

by | 107 Comments

This post is in: , , ,

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he is receiving intelligence briefings and warned Friday about Russian interference in the 2020 election.

“We know from before and I guarantee you I know now because now I get briefings again — the Russians are still engaged in trying to delegitimize our electoral process. Fact,” the former vice president said during a fundraiser organized by lawyers that included general counsels from roughly 100 companies.

“China and others are engaged as well in activities designed for us to lose confidence in the outcome” of the November election, Biden added.

A Biden campaign official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the briefings had begun and said the candidate also receives advice from his team of national security experts.

Biden had not been briefed as recently as June 30, when he said at a press conference that he “very well may” ask for access to intelligence about reports that Russia had offered bounties for the killing of American troops in Afghanistan…

Biden has repeatedly criticized Donald Trump after reports that the president doesn’t read the Presidential Daily Brief and receives only infrequent verbal briefings. On the Russian bounty reports, Biden said “the idea that somehow he didn’t know, or isn’t being briefed, it is a dereliction of duty, if that’s the case.” He added that if Trump “was briefed and nothing was done about this, that’s a dereliction of duty.”

.
Because the current Maladministration just ain’t up to the job, folks!

    White House portraits of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush moved from prominent space to rarely used room

    The official portraits of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were removed from the Grand Foyer of the White House within the last week, aides told CNN, and replaced by those of two Republican presidents who served more than a century ago.
    White House tradition calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be given the most prominent placement, in the entrance of the executive mansion, visible to guests during official events.
    That was the case through at least July 8, when President Donald Trump welcomed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The two stood in the Cross Hall of the White House and made remarks, with the portraits of Clinton and Bush essentially looking on as they had been throughout Trump’s first term.
    But in the days after after that, the Clinton and Bush portraits were moved into the Old Family Dining Room, a small, rarely used room that is not seen by most visitors.
    The portrait of former President Barack Obama is not expected to be unveiled for a formal ceremony during Trump’s first term, a sign of the bitter relationship between the 44th and 45th presidents. Trump has accused Obama of unsubstantiated and unspecified crimes, and has questioned whether Obama was born in the US for years.
    Trump has — less frequently — similarly disparaged Bush and Clinton. In his book, former Trump national security adviser John Bolton wrote Trump “despised” both Bush presidents, and people familiar with the conversations say Trump has lambasted George W. Bush as “stupid.” Trump has similarly castigated Clinton, the husband of his 2016 presidential rival, Hillary Clinton, and suggested he was a bad president.

    I know I plan on celebrating quite loudly and publicly and socially distant-ly for Biden’s inauguration.  I hope the DNC gets creative about how to do it nationwide, in every town.

    But first things first: I do hope they find a way to honor Rep. Lewis in a way befitting such a giant of a man.

    In the future when his own portrait is added (*shudder*), maybe find a home for it in the broom closet of the bunker?

    Fuck that. I want (FSM willing) President Biden to have an outhouse installed on the National Mall, probably a three-holer, with the Murderer-in-Chief’s portrait at the bottom of each “stall.”

    Actually, I’d like the Murderer-in-Chief to be at the bottom of the three-holer, but that idea is less practical, because making the Secret Service be there is not fair to them. Maybe they can substitute Uday, Qusay, and Jarvanka for him

    Okay, Bill Clinton, I understand: Trump doesn’t consider Obama as legit because Obama was…you know. So, last Dem prez: Trump is threatened by Clinton’s peace, prosperity, esteem, equanimity, and (if Trump were smart enough, which I’m not saying he is) that Clinton got impeached hunted like an animal and yet it made him look great. “They impeached me, and I beat them (politically) like a yard dog,” Bill said.

    @Dorothy A. Winsor:

    I caught myself thinking about what a massive tribute John Lewis’s funeral will be and then I realized we can’t do it because of the virus.

    A non-virulently racist Administration, even with COVID19, would figure out someway to acknowledge and honor Rep. Lewis’s contributions in making America better.

    Even if it is just a speech in his honor, but I think more likely would be a speech and ordering flags lowered to half-mast.

    This administration will not even acknowledge his passing, not even so much as a tweet with something anodyne like “condolences to Rep. Lewis and his family”.

    From a PRRI poll cited on twitter (I’m not embedding the tweet because there’s a picture of Trump). I thought it was interesting that the younger group is slightly more approving of Trump. I wouldn’t have predicted that.

    Trump continues to have worse ratings among younger Americans than older Americans, with a notable break around age 50. Among those ages 18-29, only 35% view the president favorably, and in the 30-49 age group, only 31% view Trump favorably.

    Over the past week, the state of Massachusetts sent all registered voters in the state a postage-paid vote-by-mail application, for both the state primary on September 1 and the general election. Mine arrived in the mail yesterday. I’d been meaning to print one out off the Secretary of State’s website ever since the PDF appeared there, but getting the paper one, and then hearing about John Lewis’s passing, spurred me to fill it out and drop it in this morning.

    I hate being uncertain that the Postal Service will be operating well enough to use for this purpose when the time comes. But Massachusetts, unlike some states, actually does want everyone to vote, so I figure they’ll find a way one way or another.

It feels like ancient white-flight rhetoric from the 1970s, and of course that’s what Donald Trump grew up with.

    Woke up to the news of John Lewis’s passing. I feel fortunate to have lived in the same time as a giant like Rep. Lewis, but losing him right now is especially hard. One of the things that was special about him was that he was a hero, but he was so human at the same time.

    An old man and his cats. A lion of American history. Same guy.

    The very least we citizens can do to honor him now is to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge the John Lewis Bridge. The most we can do? Work hard to make this country worthy of a man like John Lewis.

    @Betty Cracker:
    But Alan Reese isn’t pushing for the bridge to be named after his grandfather.

     

    “A singular person’s name shouldn’t be on the bridge,” said Reese. “Because it took a commitment of people to make the movement happen.”

    When a petition to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge started circulating in January, Reese released a statement on behalf of the foundation, saying if the bridge were to be renamed, it should be renamed for the Courageous Eight and the foot soldiers who laid the groundwork for the moment in Selma:

    “It is not our goal to have the name of the bridge changed, but if the bridge must be renamed, let’s remember those from Selma who were instrumental in the March from Selma to Montgomery. Name the bridge for the Courageous 8 and the foot soldiers who took a stand not only for Selma, but for the nation,” said the statement, which went on the list the names of the Courageous Eight: Rev. F.D. Reese, Ulysses Blackmon, Amelia Boynton-Robinson, Ernest Doyle, Marie Foster, James Gildersleeve, Rev. J.D. Hunter and Rev. Henry Shannon.

    I’d guess almost all of them are traditional Rs. They probably didn’t vote for Clinton, but they may not have voted for Trump either. Just my guess, but I suspect they could vote for Biden.

    @rikyrah: God knows, I think the Bernie Stans are capable of anything, but I really need more than a tweet from someone I’ve never heard of, with no supporting links,  to believe that they are celebrating his death.  Partly because I can’t see why they would. Lewis didn’t make the endorsement that put Biden over the top In South Carolina.

    I’m not saying it didn’t happen. I’m just saying I want more proof that it happened AND I want proof that it’s widespread in the Bernie or Bust camp, not just a few dipwads and/or Russian bots spouting off.

    I also suspect that the MAGA folk won’t continue to be respectful of John Lewis. They DO, after all, have a contingent that is willing to drive into people asking for fair treatment of POC’s so I don’t think they can shut their mouth for that log.

    Trump has been silent on John Lewis’s passing, which is just as well because anything he said would be insincere or offensive. But he was whining on Twitter last night about Mary Trump’s book:

    Next up is Mary Trump, a seldom seen niece who knows little about me, says untruthful things about my wonderful parents (who couldn’t stand her!) and me, and violated her NDA. She also broke the Law by givng out my……..Tax Returns. She’s a mess!

    I’m not sure why he thinks telling everyone his “wonderful parents” disliked their own granddaughter in any way refutes Mary Trump’s account of their fucked up family dynamics.

So that leaves a pretty healthy market for Chinese goods in the world without us. Hell their home market is nothing to sneeze at. And our current president has made it pretty clear that he’s not willing to live with anyone else in the world, or even a large portion of his own citizens. So really, how much is the loss of us as a market, especially as our “leader” is actively killing off his own citizens, has added tariffs to a lot of goods – making them less attractive, is a stark raving lunatic, and we elected him knowing that he is? I mean, is the smart play to actually attempt to remain a player in the US market? Or write us off as too far gone to bother…

    @prostratedragon: Maybe they have the same interest as Russia in keeping the US ineffectual internationally.

    (sigh) Most (if not all) of what’s been going down over the last few decades is readily comprehensible once one postulates that GOP stands for Global Oligarchy Putsch [1].

    This GOP isn’t out to destroy government, or even take it over for longer than needed to install a permanent complaisant autocracy. The goal is to destroy liberal democratic governance in the most powerful nations as the only movement that can possibly stand up to them.

    In a Global Oligarchy, the “gummint’s” only roles are tax collector and military/cop. Citizens pay up & get minimal services in return while the Global Oligarchs use national treasuries as their private ATMs [2]; they are encouraged to battle other “tribes” for more of an ever-diminishing pie to deflect blame from the Global Oligarchs raiding national treasuries as their private ATMs. The cops & military are there to enforce the GOs’ extraterritorial rights (e.g., the right not to obey any laws they don’t like [3, 4]) in-country and out-, & slap down the proles down hard if they get “uppity”.

    (Tl; dr version: Capital moves at the speed of light; The Club travels at jet speed; the lower classes can’t move at all.)

    State actors such as Putin’s mafiyacracy and the Chinese collective leadership have been grandfathered, or maybe godfathered, into The Club (the one that, per George Carlin, you & me ain’t in), because Vlad the Paler and the Xi-ites are doing the Lord’s, i.e., the GOP’s work as they strive to destabilize & delegitimize any form of responsible, responsive US government. As far as the GOs are concerned, Vlad and Xi are not really different from them, & they can all share the Global Oligarchy once it’s set in concrete….

    Except of course that these are the types of guys who don’t share willingly – & they have at their beck & call nuclear arsenals and death squads. And our putative Global Oligarchs, who grew up cossetted in the comfy bosom of the liberal democratic tradition, are odds-on to find out the hard way that they will not shrink from using either.

    Final point: The GOs are fine with Trump as an agent of destabilization – they don’t mind him “wetting his beak” in the gummint birdbath (it’s chump change to them) – but now that he looks to be headed for an epic trouncing, they’ll also be fine with him pulling out all the stops to snatch a second term of destruction. But if they end up with Uncle Joe, who sure as hell sound like he isn’t going to get with the pogrom program, they’ll have no problem with Agolf Twitler smashing/grabbing/trashing everything in sight on the way out so long as they can snatch any remaining levers of power while he’s distracting us. They’re waaaaay too close to cementing their grip on power already.

    Were I any one of the four liberal Justices, or the Speaker and the rest of the House Democratic leadership, I would be very, very careful about letting anyone not thoroughly vetted get within sneezing distance – & I wouldn’t go above the 3rd floor in any building with balconies or windows that open.

    /rant (flame away)

    [1] We will also accept Project or Plutocrats.

    [2] An extension of the theft of worker productivity to fill the oligarchs’ Money Bins that’s been going on since Reagan.

    [3] Daddy Warbucks’ little Annie in a family way from the wrong father & abortion’s illegal here? Time for a European holiday & a quiet rest cure in some Dutch retroactive birth control facility.

    [4] Fundanazis and Opus-Deitripper Catholics have free reign [5] to dictate public morality & enforce heavy penalties for noncompliance – but membership in The Club (or in a pinch, sufficient $$$ in the right places) is a Get Out Of Consequences card.
