Men knew: The Matt Manweller edition.
I’m glad that KUOW and other mainstream news outlets are reporting on Manweller. Still, they must have known earlier. I knew much of it when Goldy reported on it several years ago. But OK new info has come out, and the interview with his ex wife is sold reporting.
Still, what concerns me is that KUOW had him on the air, on the news roundup show, and acted like nothing was wrong with him. Didn’t question him on the air. It may have been a prerequisite to getting him. But maybe it’s not worth having him.
Not a good idea.

On December 4th, graffiti depicting the words “Fight 4 $15” were found on the buildings of the Livingston Daycare and the Asian American Cultural Center (AACC).
This phrase has been linked back to members of the Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops (RUSAS), a labor rights organization on campus.
…
According to Dr. McGinty, members of the community received this as a “dog whistle, similar to what we’re seeing in today’s political landscape”.
…
“The graffiti that defaced the building that houses the Asian American Cultural Center (AACC) and the Rutgers-Livingston Day Care Center is not only vandalism but is also a xenophobic act that attempts to divide our community and incite fear and anxiety among members of a marginalized community.”

Trump’s Canadian uranium scandal:
“Earlier this month Donald Trump hailed his edict slashing Utah’s Bears Ears National Monument by some 85 percent as a great move for American citizens. But another interest was likely far more delighted: a mining company that lobbied for the change in a bid for access to uranium on the public land.
“The Washington Post discovered a campaign by Energy Fuels Resources, a U.S. subsidiary of a Canadian firm, urging the Trump administration to dramatically reduce Bears Ears. The company reached out just months before Trump announced he was slashing the 1.35 million acre site down to 202,000 acres. …
“Energy Fuels Resources also paid $30,000 to lobbying firm Faegre Baker Daniels to push for the change throughout this year, according to federal records, the newspaper reported. The lobbying team was headed by Andrew Wheeler, whom Trump has tapped to be deputy secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency. Wheeler is awaiting Senate confirmation.”

Market timing? Who do you know who actually makes money that way, unless it is with other people’s money? Every gambler I know claims to win. None do. Math is a hard bitch.
And finally, he’s a Roypublican. Wherever you go, whoever you talk to, these are the least successful among their peer group*. Sad. Angry. Resentful. Growing old fast. They just hype it more because they are experiencing so much “insecurity” due to all the “blacks”, “Meskins”, and “pussy hats”.
*After all, even if you buy his MD bullshit, how’d that work out? 12 years of the most expensive and most difficult education, eight more years of 16 hour days performing stoop labor for less than min wage, touching and smelling things most people won’t even talk about in polite company, only to emerge into a profession with the highest suicide rate facing decades of crippling student loan payments.

Sidenote, while babbling loons point to “unpatriotic” players for the decline in NFL ratings actual analysis shows that something deeper is going on.
Ratings for college football are also down significantly. Concussions may be taking their toll on fans as younger viewers and younger players are shrinking. Anecdotally, one of two perennial contenders in my high school athletic league disbanded football in 2017 after failing for the 3rd straight year to recruit enough players. They had already dropped Frosh/JV in order to field a team five years ago.
Meanwhile MLS cup final ratings were up 75% over the last two years.
(could a change in Net Neutrality weigh on Verizon’s decision to double their bid? Hmmmm…Verizon, exclusive streamer of the NFL.)
Speaking of market timers and gamblers, Bitcoin sure looks like a classic pump-and-dump to me. Yet another major bank, UBS, came out with a Bitcoin warning today. The crooks who normally steal from the government and their customers, also known as “bankers,” uniformly are calling Bitcoin a “fraud.” They oughta know one when they see one, given their expertise in defrauding people.
38,
While it certainly may be that Bitcoin is being manipulated, bear in mind that the block chain tech behind Bitcoin would (probably will) put most banks out of business. So I take their “warnings” with a giant grain of salt. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the banks themselves were the ones doing the pump and dump. I’ll leave currency speculation to trustifarians who can afford it, and “greater fools” like Doctor Dumbfuck who really can’t, but would never admit it.
Something to keep in mind about the price of Bitcoin is the relationship between the current exchange rates and the rate of mining production. Remember, you don’t have to “buy” bitcoin, you can also mine it. But it is very expensive to mine these days. And it grows more expensive all the time. Long gone are the days when you could turn loose a few Raspberry Pi processors in a bedroom closet to toil away 24/7 producing a few bitcoins a week. So when the exchange rates climb rapidly as they are doing now, the production rate increases. How rapidly depends mostly on the exchange price versus utility rates/cooling costs and tech advances.

Munchkin asserted “over 100 people” at Treasury were working on a “detailed analysis” of the GOP tax plan. Their work product was released today.

You need to look beyond the cost of the deal to Verizon and look at the mechanics of the deal.
Verizon’s Yahoo can stream NFL games.
Which means you don’t have to have cable to get the NFL on Fox, CBS, or ESPN.
So Verizon is paying more but it’s getting far, far more out of the deal.
Now imagine how much CBS and Fox are going to want to pay for NFL broadcasting rights next time around.
This is a loss for the NFL, when all of the broadcasting revenues going forward are considered.
Yes, Verizon ended up paying more. But it got much more than it gave.
@ 37, further
Hmmmm…Verizon, exclusive streamer of the NFL.
Nope. NFL can be streamed on any carrier as part of the deal. It’s NFL’s way of trying to grab as much as it can from wireless companies, since the deal it signed with Verizon to stream on Yahoo will decimate its TV network contracts when they come up for renewal.
That Savage video was awful. The referee saw how badly he was hurt and intervened. I suspect that very soon a field official will have the ability to disqualify a player due to injury severity.
I suspect that there will be network involvement as well – some editor sees something like those tremoring hands and the right people can be notified immediately. Hell, they stop games to decide whether the ball broke the plane of the goal or whether a toe was dragged inbounds. They can stop it so the referee can see hands tremoring after a very hard tackle.
@48 I don’t doubt you’ll relive 11/8/2016 in your mind for years to come. When you were a kid, instead of putting pennies on the rails, you probably were pulling out the spikes. Some sickos love watching train wrecks.

@54 Perhaps someday you’ll forgive us for initially refusing to believe there are enough dumbfucks like you in this country to elect someone like Trump. You’re absolutely right, we didn’t expect our fellow citizens to stoop that low. We thought they were better than that. But we’ve learned, and we know better now. There’s no limit to how far down the party of child molesters and goatfuckers will drag our no-longer-great country if they get the chance. Morons Are Governing America again.
