I support the striking school bus drivers. I’m sure it’s inconvenient for many parents, but you want bus drivers to have healthcare and a retirement plan. These are people in charge of your kids, for goodness sake.

    Philando Castile’s girlfriend and her daughter will get $900,000. At the expense of taxpayers, as usual, following an earlier $3 million settlement with Castile’s family. So that’s $4 million a trigger-happy killer cop cost the citizens he was supposed to serve, not counting the defense costs. Roughly $1 million per bullet fired. Pretty expense target practice.

    @1 A housecleaning is long overdue, and not just in Hollywood and the media. Is the RCCC prepared for all the special elections after the House chambers are swept out? I understand you guys will have an opening for a new president soon, too. If you can find a candidate who isn’t compromised.

    @4 Wherein Doctor Dumbfuck once again celebrates Moscow’s successful subversion of our democracy. He’s not only a dumbfuck, but an aider and abettor of traitors, too. However, if he’s indicted along with Trump as an accessory after the fact, his lawyers can plead that he’s too stupid to form a criminal intent. That defense has worked for Republican congressmen in the past, so it might work for him, too.

    I didn’t actually affect any of the votes. After all, Clinton won the popular vote but forgot about the Electoral College and how that works in your country. All I did was have my people fuck around a bit to sew the seeds of doubt and stir up things in your election. That made me even more popular with the ordinary Russian because we are all still pissed off about the Cold War and how you meddlesome Americans think you’ve got the right to screw around with whomever you choose. Pay-backs are a bitch, aren’t they?

    Now fuck-off and wallow in your self pity! The rest of us are laughing like hell and you stupid Americans getting what’s due to you.

    I am sure that it will come as a surprise to you, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, but not all of life’s pleasures are monetarily valued.

    Call it wealth redistribution.

    @20 “I invest in my wife’s happiness.”

    Don’t overlook the angle of managing your horse farm as a riding stable for disadvantaged kids to claim a tax writeoff. It’s an opportunity to monetize your wife’s happiness.

    “not all of life’s pleasures are monetarily valued”

    Fast cars, yachts, fine wine, horse farms … I’m having trouble right now thinking of one that isn’t.

    Oh, I’ve got one: Public service. There’s no money in that, if you do it right, i.e. serve others. Republicans are monetizing it, though.

    @25 Why shouldn’t I feel insecure? I live in a country run by Republicans. They’re shredding the safety net. They’re unleashing the crooked banks again.

    11,
    As we all know you are one of the planet’s most talented liars with an exemplary record of past performance. The grieving families of 217 murdered passengers aboard Malaysian flight 17 stand among a long line of witnesses.

    With that out of the way: 37,000 FSB operated bot accounts targeting hapless, drooling, mouth breathing Republican dumbfucks on Twitter alone. Millions more on other platforms. Hacked email servers. Stolen campaign planning documents couriered directly to Fuckface. Real estate deals, oil deals, pipeline deals, cash, kidnappings, and pay-to-play legislative agreements.

    We aren’t wallowing in self-pity. We are carefully planning our response. Your shitty little nation of beet-growers is fucked. We allowed you to survive your defeat resulting from the cold war. Your survival depended entirely upon our assistance. It still does. You think that assistance can’t be withdrawn? Go ahead. Keep asking for it.

    “The scheduling problem has left flights from some of American Airlines’ biggest hubs, including New York, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago’s O’Hare and New York’s LaGuardia Airport, without pilots … many opted to take days off around the holidays, after the system allowed it. …

    As early as 2014, the administration received a report that quoted a well-connected Russian source as saying that the Kremlin was building a disinformation arm that could be used to interfere in Western democracies. The report, according to an official familiar with it, included a quote from the Russian source telling U.S. officials in Moscow, “You have no idea how extensive these networks are in Europe … and in the U.S., Russia has penetrated media organizations, lobbying firms, political parties, governments and militaries in all of these places.”

    Still, no loyal Americans had become cynical enough in 2014 to even suspect that 63 million Americans would rather turn traitor and vote for the puppet of a shirtless communist dictator than vote for any Democrat.

    Under the Senate tax bill no corporation or small business owner would ever pay more than a 20% tax rate, but a single wage earner would pay 22% or more beginning at only $50,701 (taking into account the combined personal exemption/standard deduction) and go up from there.

    Polls show the public opposes this scheme by a 2-to-1 margin. Republicans apparently intend to pass it anyway. It’ll be interesting to see what the polling booths show next November if they do.

    “Something is unleashed with him lately,” Times reporter Maggie Haberman said on CNN Wednesday morning. “I don’t know what is causing it, I don’t know how to describe it.”

    “Looks like I picked a good day to stop responding to Trump’s bizarre tweets,” he tweeted of Trump. “He is not well.”

    “But Trump’s supporters will argue … Trump was elected to do things differently. To shake up stodgy old Washington and actually get things done. … What that argument presumes is that this is all controlled fury and contained chaos — that Trump, deep down, knows exactly what he’s doing. That he is operating off of a strategic plan that plays the media and Democrats for chumps …. But, what if he isn’t? … What if Trump is just spinning ever faster … as he twirls and twirls and twirls?What then? … We are talking about the man who is in charge of America’s nuclear arsenal …. ”

    Sounds about right. That’s roughly how long it would take someone of average reading competence to read and digest the intellectual content of several dozen of his posts.

  125. 125

    Carly Fiorina, you know, the former HP executive that ran for POTUS as a Republican, made some comments about being sexually harassed in her life. Recall what Trump said about her during the campaign, “Then-candidate Donald Trump did receive some flak after he mocked Fiorina in a Rolling Stone interview saying “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”

    What a disgusting person we have as POTUS. Sexist, racist, and bigoted.

    Anyway, she also went on to say, “One reason sexual harassment continues to be a problem, Fiorina said, is because men are not calling out other men who are behaving badly.” https://www.circa.com/story/2017/11/29/politics/carly-fiorina-talks-sexism-harassment

    I completely agree with her on this. So to answer Dr. Dumbfuck/Fistfuck and his ilk, good, it is great to see Keillor, Lauer, and the rest of them shown the door. Time for people in government to be held to the same standard. Stop shielding such behavior. Trump should lead by example. Same for Franken, but neither of them are interested in leading or real leadership.

    Liberal/Conservative, who the fuck cares, that sort of behavior should not be tolerated and men should call out other men that do that sort of thing. Would Dr. Dumbfuck like it if he had a daughter and he knew she was being treated like that? Probably not. Then again he is probably out in the barn, balls deep into his horse’s ass yelling, “Who’s your daddy now bitch!”

  126. 126

    “Anyway, she also went on to say, “One reason sexual harassment continues to be a problem, Fiorina said, is because men are not calling out other men who are behaving badly.””

    She’s out of her mind. She knows what the world is like. That comment could stand out for anyone of any gender. boo hoo hoo. She is in the business world – I’m sure shes called out every injustice that she’s ever been party to.

    More hypocrisy – she deserves it and doesn’t deserve to speak out against it.

    It was once said – “Can we all get along?”….how about “Can we all be kind and be respectful and be just to everyone?” She’s not the one to be saying what she said.

    Time for people in any capacity to be held at the same standards. That’s the problem…we keep treating politicians as if they are unlike regular people. They are the people we keep calling “We the People”. We need to stop differentiating.

    “Probably not. Then again he is probably out in the barn, balls deep into his horse’s ass yelling, “Who’s your daddy now bitch!””

  129. 129

    Not only should we stop differentiating between politician and non-politician, we should stop differentiating between different crimes in the sense that one is acceptable versus the other not being so unacceptable. Any disrespect towards anyone is essentially the same violation – let’s start treating it that way. Then maybe people will learn to be more respectful.

    Unless anyone here wants to argue that sexual harassment is an uncontrollable erotic urge that is just part of being a man( or woman), given to us by God of course.

  130. 130

    @129 “Any disrespect towards anyone is essentially the same violation – let’s start treating it that way. Then maybe people will learn to be more respectful.”

    While I agree with you, there is a whole class of people that look to that great work of fiction, the Bible, as their moral guide and code. That book is full of hate, violence, and intolerance; yet people follow the “Good Book” and hold that up and an example of how we should live. One could argue that Roy Moore and Trump are just following their god given right to be misogynistic assholes.

  131. 131

  137. 137

    @126 “Anyway, she also went on to say, “One reason sexual harassment continues to be a problem, Fiorina said, is because men are not calling out other men who are behaving badly.””

    Well, I guess the question I would ask her is, how many whistleblowers did you fire when you were CEO of Hewlett Packard?

    We all know what happens in workplaces to people who speak up. Let’s suppose you’re a non-supervisory male employee, and you’re aware a female co-worker is being harassed, but she’s doesn’t complain. What are you supposed to do? If you initiate a complaint, and she’s afraid or unwilling to back you up, where does that leave you?

    There’s a good reason why sexual harassment goes unreported. More often than not, it’s the whistleblower or complainer who’s seen as the source of the friction and an impediment to the organization’s accomplishment of its business mission. Particularly if the perpetrator is a valued employee, it’s often easier to get rid of the problem by getting rid of the complainer.

    And then there are our society’s cultural mores. Whistleblowers and others who speak up are often considered “troublemakers” or “snitches.” Speaking up does not typically earn you the esteem of your peers or an honored place in any social or business setting.

    The reality is that most people caught up in a situation involving co-workers are going to keep their heads down, just as a matter of self-preservation. In any case, your role as a bystander, if you are called upon to “do the right thing,” is to be an impartial witness. The onus of complaining always has to be on the victim in first instance. A passive victim can’t expect her co-workers to speak up on her behalf when she won’t.

    Given these realities, Fiorina is asking for too much. It’s easy for her to say because she was the boss. It’s a lot easier to pontificate from a safe position than it is to assume a whistleblower role that very likely will end your career and ruin your life. Coming from her, this is very little more than cheap talk. What she should be doing is campaigning for changes in management culture that would make it possible and safe for concerned employees to come forward about what they see going on in their workplaces.

  138. 138

    @130 Well for sure, we’re already seeing some pastors thumping on the Good Book and holding it up to their congregations as a divine injunction to vote for Roy Moore and cast his accusers aside (and consign them to the fires of hell). One gets a feeling the impulse driving this is more expedient than holy in its intentions.

    And, of course, you have an entire state full of sheep who have to be told by their spiritual masters how to vote because they can’t figure it out for themselves.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Many people have grown complacent, now that the Cold War is over and the U.S. and Russia have mutually reduced their active stockpiles to a few thousand weapons each (which are still enough to destroy the world). Some Americans have even become comfortable living under the shadow of the mushroom cloud. I haven’t. I think we’ve been extremely lucky so far, and it’s not reasonable to expect our luck to hold forever. That’s like going into a casino and expecting to win at the slots or tables with every lever pull, dice roll, and card flip. The inexorable mathematical odds are against human survival. So is human nature, which hasn’t seemed to change at all over the millennia. Unless you stupid humans make a conscious, overt, and determined decision to restrain your normal impulses, that is to say, impulses driven by fear, ego, and belligerency, your species is doomed and we rabbits are going to run this place. And if my species doesn’t survive either, then mosquitoes will become the biological masters of this rock floating through space.

    @3 At some point members of congress will remember Congress is not a workplace. They are elected by the voters. Some Republicans who follow personal rules similar to VP Pence (and women find the VP’s rules unfair as they don’t get similar access as men) are much more unlikely to get swept up in any housecleaning. So we would have two groups wanting to control everyone’s behavior for different reasons. Bible thumpers, and feminists. What a fun combination.
    Of course it will be voters who will have to actually have to vote as Al Franken, and Conyers certainly are not stepping down.

    @38 I’m not ready, and I don’t want to see it happen as either the President dies, or stupidity reigns in the US capital.

    Well, this is exciting:

    Good morning and welcome to MarketWatch’s live blog. The Senate is scheduled to gavel in at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the tax bill.

    http://blogs.marketwatch.com/c.....e-updates/

    Although you knew how this was gonna go, didn’t ya, HA libbies?

    The NYT told you as much, only yesterday.

    Republicans, Entering Homestretch on Tax Cuts, Are Calm and Cooperative

    The Senate voted along party lines, 52 to 48, on Wednesday to formally take up legislation that would cut taxes by as much as $1.5 trillion over 10 years, remake the corporate tax code and effect large changes to individual taxation. The routine procedural vote, so fraught during the health care debate, began an amendment process that should end in the bill’s passage by Friday.

    And this time, Senate Republicans are approaching the finish line in a fundamentally different posture: confident, cooperative, even cocky.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/29/us/politics/republicans-tax-cuts-success-analysis.html

    Or, if you prefer, gman, cock-y.

  174. 174

    Here’s a pretty decent summary of what the tax bill might do for you, with a nice scatterplot of 25,000 ‘middle class’ families.

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/28/upshot/what-the-tax-bill-would-look-like-for-25000-middle-class-families.html

    I left off the article title. Instead, let’s look at each of the subheadlines in the piece, shall we?

    • Nearly everyone who takes the standard
    deduction gets a tax cut in 2018

    The Senate bill would roughly double the standard deduction: to $12,000 for an individual or $24,000 for married couples. As a result, most middle-class households that take the standard deduction now would get a tax cut under the bill in 2018, and almost none would get a tax increase.

    I would assume those people include the stupid flyover state hillbillies, who don’t possess the mental faculties to itemize.

    • Families with children generally get a bigger tax cut

    For families with children, another big provision comes into play: the child tax credit. The Senate bill would double that credit to $2,000 per child.

    Well, all I have to say about this is that it’s a really good thing that WA state doesn’t have an income tax, amirite?

    Now, for those states that 1) have high income taxes levied by states and cities and 2) always vote Democrat, Fuck You. Elections have consequences, and this is one of them. Don’t like it? Move to a red state. Problem solved.

    • In 2027 the picture is more uncertain, but many

    Expiring tax cuts were extended under GWB43. Expiring tax cuts were extended under Obama. No reason to believe things will be any different when these are due to expire. Isn’t that right, Goldy.

    So here’s the thing, libbies:

    Beginning in 2018, the federal tax withholding charts will change and people will begin to see more money in their paychecks, more in their wallets. It’s something they’ll be thinking about when they go to the polls in 2018 and perhaps, still, in 2020.

    That’s what the Democrats are really upset about.

    I can’t say I blame them.

    Well, going to rehab was getting stale, anyway.

    (CNN)Rep. John Conyers, who is under fire for accusations of sexual harassment, is in the hospital, an aide to Conyers confirmed to CNN.

    Although he truly may have been queasy after learning what was about to be said about him.

    A former staffer took her story of sexual harassment public Thursday morning despite a confidentiality agreement she signed as part of a settlement with Conyers in 2015.

    “I felt it was worth the risk to stand up for all the women in the workforce that are voiceless. Ordinary women like me,” Marion Brown said during a “Today Show” interview in NBC.

    Brown said Conyers “touched me in different ways” over the years she worked for him and “violated my body.”

    In one instance, she said, Conyers invited her to a hotel room in Chicago under the guise of discussing business but was in his underwear when she arrived.

    “He asked me to satisfy him sexually,” she said. “He pointed to areas of, genital areas of his body and asked me to, you know, touch it.”

    The premise of most gop tax cut politics in the last half century has been that nearly everyone gets cuts. It’s just that the wealthiest get the most. That may not be that economically significant but it’s highly significant politically.

    Why don’t Democrats want nearly everyone to get a tax cut?

    Is it because they know the GOP will rightfully get credit for passing it?

    Maybe the Fucking Moron isn’t so stupid, after all.

    Or, at least that’s what I thought until I read the remainder of his post.

  199. 199

    @193 First, I recommend you read the commentary I posted on Steve’s blog, then click the link at the bottom and read the CNBC article on which it’s based. This will give you a better feel for what the GOP is actually doing with this tax bill. (Spoiler alert: It’s much more than a tax cut; it’s a sweeping social re-engineering of American society.)

    As the article you linked to points out, a basic problem is that conservatives believe, with quasi-religious fervor, in economic theories that are just plain wrong and which, when put into practice, turn ordinary recessions into depressions.

    Turning now to the pending GOP tax bill, most discussion has focused on the tax cuts — who gets them, and who pays for them — but in terms of your question, the tax cuts aren’t the real problem.

    Before I discuss that issue, I’d like to point out that trying to stimulate the economy with tax cuts when you have don’t have much idle capacity or labor supply is more likely to produce inflation than growth. So, the timing of these tax cuts is all wrong. But, again, that’s not what makes this tax bill risky.

    What makes it potentially dangerous is the “triggers” they’re talking about. Republican dogma holds that tax cuts don’t cause deficits because the increased economic activity generates more tax revenue than you lose from the cuts. Of course, this isn’t true, but most of the Senate Republicans believe the “triggers” they’re discussing never be triggered and they’re putting them in the bill merely to pacific a few deficit hawks in their caucus. And, of course, they’re wrong; it’s a leadpipe cinch that revenues will fall short of their predictions and trigger whatever backstop they adopt to prevent future deficits from ballooning (like they did after the Reagan and Bush supply-side tax cuts).

    Right now, there’s a split in the Senate GOP caucus over what form these triggers should take. There are three options for dealing with deficits that come in higher than their wishful projections. One, that triggers tax increases to make up the revenue shortfall. Or two, that triggers spending cuts to shrink the budget. Or three, a combination of these two.

    It doesn’t really matter which of these deficit-containment strategies they adopt because the end result will be the same. We all know recessions increase deficits, because when the economy is shrinking, tax revenues decline and government spending on things like unemployment benefits, food stamps, and welfare increases.

    So, the next recession will be the agent that triggers these “triggers,” and when it does, raising taxes or cutting spending to contain the deficit increase will take money out of circulation and cause further shrinkage of the economy, which in turn will reduce revenues and increase the demand on social welfare programs even more, and now you’re in a negative feedback loop of economic decline that’s feeding on itself and pushing the economy into further decline.

    That can get really dangerous. It’s like an airplane stall and flat spin. Given enough height from the ground, and the right manipulation of the controls, you usually can get out of it. But this requires monetary and fiscal stimulus applied at the right time. This is Keynesian economics I’m talking about, i.e., cutting taxes and increasing spending during recessions to pull the economy out of recession. Republicans don’t believe in this, and are inclined to crash the goddamned plane and kill everyone on board including themselves, because they refuse to believe that in a stall you have to push the stick forward to drop the nose. They want to pull it back and raise the nose, which in real life worsens the stall. It doesn’t matter how many times they’ve crashed the economy this way in the past; they simply refuse to learn anything from experience.

    So, it’s these “triggers” you should worry about, if they make it into the bill. They’re a recipe for doing exactly the wrong thing the next time we have a recession. How great is their potential to turn the next recession into a depression? Hard to say. That depends on a number of factors, including how bad the recession is, how far they pull back on the stick, and what other stupid things they do at the same time.

    One of those other stupid things is deregulating the banks. Right now, the banks are in much better shape than they were in 2008, when the U.S. banking system was in genuine danger of a catastrophic collapse, but that margin of safety could erode away over time, again, like it did in the years preceding the 2008 crisis, if the same discredited laissez faire policies are pursued again. Except next time, the banks won’t be bailed out, and that will lead to the collapse that was narrowly averted in 2008 and another Great Depression will then be inevitable and unavoidable.

    The economy can survive with a damaged, but semi-functioning, banking system if you don’t let the stall spiral out of control, i.e. you push forward on the stick instead of pulling back on it. In other words, you have to apply the Keynesian remedies that Republicans are dead-set against. What works is deficit-financed tax cuts and spending increases to pump money into a faltering economy in order to halt the decline and give people means to start spending again.

    Nobody believes a car with a dead battery can be restarted without a jump, or that a heart attack patient with a stopped heart should be treated by doing nothing. Yet that is exactly how conservatives think a stalled economy should be dealt with. While these analogies aren’t perfect, the broad principle is valid.

    So, to answer your question as best I can, if this bill goes through a lot will depend on whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge of the policy response the next time a recession hits. To use another analogy, I wouldn’t describe this bill as a lit fuse, but it contains a bomb, and Republicans are little children who play with matches.

    The solution is to elect Democrats to ensure rational economic policies, regulate the banks (including the shadow banking system), continue with the Federal Reserve’s program of gradually normalizing interest rates and reducing its balance sheet, and when the next recessions comes, reject supply-side theology and apply Keynesian remedies (or at least not do the reverse).

    For individuals, don’t believe your employment is bulletproof or will last forever, accumulate a rainy day fund, don’t get overextended with debt, don’t spend money when you don’t have to but save and invest it instead, and manage your investments carefully and wisely. There’s probably no surefire insurance against nuclear attacks or massive economic depressions, should they occur, but being better prepared than others improves your odds of being one of the survivors.

    “As a 39.6 percenter, I would like to thank all the little people for supporting Trump and the GOPer’s. I will get a straight 4.6% cut to my taxes, plus another $10,000 -20,000 kicker from the elimination of AMT, plus another big chunk because some of my income is passed through an S corp. I really need this too, because I would like to buy another Tesla (different color). The middle class will end up being happy to get the crumbs because I am counting on Fox News to come up with some infographics that show what a horrible burden us poor 39.6 percenters are having to carry and convince you morons to support this monstrosity. I have always considered paying taxes as a way ensure we have civilization and a civil society and have not resented paying those taxes. But since we are intent on dismantling civilization, and have already lost civil society, just give me my money.”

    “’Like Muhammad, Colin is a man who stands on his convictions with confidence and courage, undaunted by the personal sacrifices he has had to make to have his message heard,’ Ali said in a statement. ‘He has used his celebrity and philanthropy to benefit some of our most vulnerable community members. …’

    “In a news release, Executive Editor Stephen Cannella said only a few athletes have ‘followed [Ali’s] example as fully’ as the former San Fransisco quarterback who began kneeling during the pre-game national anthem to protest racial injustice against black people. ‘In this noisy political and media environment, it’s easy to forget his core message: that all people in this country deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and recognition of their civil rights,’ Cannella said. ‘Too often that message has been lost in the debate over how it is expressed.'”

    Fred Reed’s latest:

    Absolute, Obvious, Unacknowledged Disaster: A Racial Snapshot of America
    Posted on November 30, 2017 by Fred Reed
    Let us look into the abyss. It will do no good.
    First, another page in the sordid comic book of American race relations. In Beijing, three black basketball players from UCLA were arrested for shoplifting. They faced jail time. Ten years, actually.
    The theft was so stupid that it demands explanation. It was too stupid for stupidity to be responsible They did not need to steal. They were pampered babies of semi-pro basketball, infinitely privileged. They are not expected to meet academic standards, to study, or be able to read. Something other than conventional stupidity must be involved. Is it that blacks, as various psychologists have said, lack impulse control, cannot readily envision the future? I don’t know. It fits, though.

    There is a curious pattern here. Scoreboard Baby is a book tracking the careers of black football players at the University of Washington. UW is a big-time football school and these players were on track to be millionaires in the NFL. Yet their record in the university is one of rape, armed robbery, assault, wife-beating, endlessly repeated drunk driving, drug use, and parole violation. Criminality is understandable: You want those tennis shoes, or your life is so screwed up that you just don’t give a damn. These guys, with everything going for them, apparently could not control themselves even in their own interest.

    But, back to the basketball players: As they awaited a decade in a Chinese slam, Donald Trump–drum roll, trumpets—drops from the sky like a thunderbolt, weaning a red, white, and blue cape. He intervenes to save three two-bit semi-literate boosters. The President of the United States acting like a starveling PD, public defender, the bottom-rung lawyers who hang around court houses in cheap suits to keep bottom-feeding crooks on the street.
    Possibly I was wrong about the manner of Mr. Trump’s arrival. Anyway, I am thinking that when he leaves office, he could start a firm, Shoplifters Redemption International and get federal outreach money.

    OK, next. Baltimore has passed three hundred murders for the year. The figure is so astonishing that one almost begins to see it as like a batting average: Can they make it to four hundred? Are we doing better than last year?
    You will probably have assumed hat the killers were Chinese math majors from Johns Hopkins. Right? You racist dog.
    In response to its Bizarro world chaos, the black government of Ballmer tears down Confederate statues. Yes. These cause crime. The correlation is undeniable: Japan has no Confederate statues, and no crime. See?

    These offensive sculptures commemorate a war that Baltimore’s cadavers, strewn about like flower petals in autumn, couldn’t spell. Do you doubt this? Go into the schools of Baltimore and see how many can spell “Confederate.” Which brings us to:
    Next: Another Baltimorean triumph:. Fox News:“Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state testing data and found one-third of High Schools in Baltimore, last year, had zero students proficient in math.” In six other high schools, only 1 percent tested proficient in math. Only 15 percent of Baltimore students passed the state’s English test..
    Bear in mind that the schools, and their policies, are entirely under control of a black government.
    It is hard to decide whether these revelations are astonishing or boring. Accustomed to such numbers by long exposure, we forget that scholastic catastrophe of this magnitude would be unthinkable in any other civilized society. Can you imagine a Baltimore in Japan? Finland? South Korea? Germany before African immigration? Ah, but Baltimore is getting rid of those oppressive statues. That will fix things.
    Absolute, obvious, unacknowledged disaster.
    Next: More advances in the homicide competition: Chicago, the City that Works, has hit six hundred dead! Zingo! Those pikers in Ballmer don’t have a chance. There is good news, of a sort. There have been 2045 shootings in Chicago to the end of October. This comes 3.41 attempts per murder. Oh blessed inaccuracy. In poor marksmanship lies our hope.

    What you and your Klavern mates forget is that a Div 1 athlete is essentially forbidden to have money – at least in so far as any opportunity to obtain it legally is concerned.

    If they are fortunate enough to have wealthy mommies and daddies they can be gifted pretty large sums, carry credit card balances, and drive stylish new cars. But otherwise they are actually worse off than academic merit scholars who can accept jobs, unlimited gifts, apply for cash grants, and oh yes, still take money from mom and dad. Full ride D1 athletic scholars can’t even accept a boat ride to a barbecue.

    So despite the ignorant fantasies of you and your Klavern, these guys are flat broke most of the time. If they smoke any weed they are probably in debt to a drug dealer.

    and probably one of those points of views (or facts) is that we enslaved a group of people and kept them from being educated like any other non slave individual. Aside from screwing with their psyche of having any self esteem or value. And to this day hold them back to some degree.

    Kind of like what some want to do with the gay people. Treat them differently, make them less of a human being without the same rights. Ohhh and to hold them back too.

    Crawl back into your stupid cave.

    Have to love those that want to preach history and remembering it, but so quickly forget anything about slavery. Slavery wasn’t just making someone doing something for nothing – it did a lot more. Next time you don’t think it was that bad…then please let me know, I could use a slave…maybe you would like to volunteer.

  244. 244

    Slavery is also about power….kind of like the bad boys that are accused of sexual misconduct nowadays. Or should I say pigs. Face it.

    Ohhh, except Puffy – he’s more of an Ape than pig.

    Only at face value. Ultimately they’ll have to agree to huge cuts in Medicare or obtain Senate Democrats approval. No way around that. A mandatory $25 billion cut to Medicare triggered by these tax cuts will almost certainly fall most heavily on older Americans.

    @169 Well Senators do have one big advantage over Representatives or even President’s in that American voters don’t have long memories. Sometimes they do. Hard to predict when the American voter will demonstrate a willingness to use their long term memory.

    @191 There is a difference. Driving a car (or at least being licensed) is a privilege. Owning a firearm is a right under the US and Washington State constitution.

    Susan Collins is approaching her unwavering Amercan devoted Democratic partners to spare her from the Medicare slices she is swore to support.

    @193 If the tax bill passes if there is a realistic possibility of a depression in the next 6 months the tax bill will kick that can down the road for at least 18-24 months. If a three percent or more growth rate is achieved then no depression and the gamble works.

    @259 As usual you don’t know what you’re talking about. The tax bill will have negligible effect on growth. Tax cut or no, there won’t be a depression in six months. This is not the right time to ditch stocks (although such a time may come, especially if Trump succeeds at deregulating Wall Street and the banks again; but it will take time for these reckless policies to kick in). Buying gold and silver is great for gold and silver brokers (which is why they buy all those ads on late-night TV shows). Concrete is downwind of Bangor and will catch so much fallout the place will look like the cement plant is back in operation. You’ll need a protective suit and respirator to go outdoors.

    279,
    I’m still trying to figure Cobb out. But I think maybe his response to this is telling. He’s been surprisingly upbeat as this thing has unfolded, despite some pretty monumental fuckups. He’s obviously a bit of a character. But I just don’t comprehend what kind of lawyer involved in this kind of high stakes defense openly bitches about the rest of the team in an outdoor public setting. That is truly mind boggling.

    I think he’s being frozen out by Pissident Russian PeePee and his close legal team. They’ve shoved him out on point while withholding a ton of crucial information. That would be pretty consistent with how the Fuckface Org has operated all along. They tend to go around or avoid the people who tell them “no” – at least when they aren’t firing them or “forcing them out”. So the happy talk from Cobb is a way for him to gain the trust of the insiders I suppose. And it probably keeps the retainer checks being cut. But at this point I think he knows less than Mueller.

  286. 286

    284,
    No. That’s all good. Look whatever kind of immunity deal Flynn has obtained will depend entirely upon his performance testifying later on. That is particularly true since he may also face state charges related to the kidnapping scheme that cannot be included in the federal deal.

    But for all the incentive that Flynn may have to cooperate and give truthful testimony, it never hurts for the witness to have a grudge against his former conspirators. If the only damage control tactic the Traitors can come up with is to throw Flynn under the bus and smear him in the media that will only clarify for Flynn, Gates, Manafort, and any other cooperating witnesses who their real friends are.
    More of this, please.

    Since 1997, a congressional liability fund has paid out $17 million, much of which went to settle anthrax and asbestos claims. So far, only 1 congressman is known to have dipped into those taxpayer funds to settle a sexual harassment claim. That congressman was identified today as Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) and the payout in that case was $84,000.

    Problem is, things are different from the time of Watergate. Back then, the GOP still had representatives and senators with enough honor to oust a president of their party who was a criminal. Today you couldn’t find enough honor in the entire GOP House and Senate caucuses to fill a thimble. This means it would take Democratic majorities to get rid of a Republican who videotapes children fucking goats.

  297. 297

    294,
    Without knowing who the “two people familiar with the matter” who leaked this to NBC are, it still strikes me as unusual.

    Flynn was the Team Fuckface pick for National Security Advisor. In any kind of normal candidacy that would be the person in the transition team tasked with heading up foreign policy development for the team going into the transition. Who does that person take marching orders from? The President elect. In a few cases perhaps the Vice-President elect. Everyone else at the very top of a normal campaign would be co-equal in rank, overseeing their own responsibilities for policy development, transition, etc. That Fuckface Von PeePee would put someone (other than Pence) between himself and his chosen National Security Advisor tells us a few things about this Presidency. And none of them are reassuring.
    1) He’s unwilling to be held accountable for the big stuff.
    2) He’s dangerously uninformed about the issues but can’t stand for anyone to know it.
    3) He wants to govern and even impede the flow of information crucial to national security decision making.
    4) He’s very uncertain about his own decision making over issues of national security.

    63 million beer drunk hillbilly racists put this man in the White House at precisely the moment when North Korea was deploying a nuclear ICBM capability, China was seeking ownership of the most vital shipping lanes on earth, Iran was implementing a client state relationship with Syria, Syria was opening a WMD and nuke customer account with North Korea, Saudi Arabia was expanding its proxy war with Iran into sub-Saharan Africa, and Putin is still trying to annex Ukraine.

    Americans should never be allowed to forget that the Republican Party did this. Perhaps no greater act of collective treason was ever enacted by any group of people in all of human history. Why do you think they spend so much time trying to blame this shit on Obama or Clinton. They know exactly what they’ve done and how incredibly treasonous it really is.

  298. 298

    Something to keep in mind about the Flynn plea deal:
    It is very rare for any federal prosecutor, but particularly a special prosecutor assigned to the gravest of criminal matters, to deal away real, chargeable offenses. For example, if part of the defendant’s stipulation includes admitting to homicide, they probably get charged with homicide one way or another. It might be 3rd degree manslaughter, but the court can’t really agree to an arrangement that let’s somebody get away with really serious crimes.

    So the fact that Flynn is being allowed to plead to lying, while not being charged with any of the various other possible crimes his stipulation will implicate, probably is significant. As I see it, at least, that means Mueller can see his way around at least some of the elements of those criminal statutes. I suspect the only way he does that is by getting Flynn to testify that “it wasn’t my idea”, “the other guy made me do it”, or some other version of the “good German” defense. So the question that raises is who does Flynn implicate who ranks high enough within Team Fuckface to convince Mueller that Flynn was just following orders?

  299. 299

    The problem with this Country is that we have people like Meghan McCain who can’t stand the truth and have to twist and reshape thier sad story.

    Watch what she says,

    I would have responded by telling her that then Fuckface and the other Fuckface Republicans should insist the their dear leader tell his fans and the American public the truth and resign if she is so worried about tearing this Country apart. They have already succeeded regardless.

    If she thinks that fucking Repukes are better for this Country then maybe they need to act that way, fess up, take it and apologize and tell the hillbillies that this shit ain’t right. No need to tell Joy that her celebration is going to upset the little shiturd flakes.

    I’m sure if she was manhanfled by a grabby pig man she would want an apology.

    BENGHAZZZZZZZZI! That pig didn’t care about tearing a country apart then. Go fuck yourself bitch!!!

    299,
    That’s just Republicans being hillbilly traitors.

    These are people who fundamentally conceive of “America” as being, well, them. And nobody else. There is no room in their concept of full-on “Americanism” for anyone like you and I and most of the regulars who comment on HA. So when she says “America is going to tear itself apart” she’s talking about the Republican Party. And all any of us should say to that is… good.

    Ms. McCain and the other traitors have already done most of the damage they are going to do to the loyal patriotic majority of Americans. Baring a truly epic fuckup from Team Fuckface, we will make it through all this okay. In some ways we will be better for it.

    But the Republican Party brand must own this treason. Forever. They built it brick by brick, tweet by tweet, and hashtag by hashtag. They marched with torches, they waved Confederate flags, they spit beer at kneeling athletes and they made one fake-lame excuse after another for as long as it took. They tied their fear, bigotry, and intolerance to a Russian conspiracy and in so doing permanently disgraced themselves in the eyes of the world and in the eyes of the majority of Americans. That is where the look of fear in Ms. McCain’s eyes comes from. The reckoning she is only now realizing she cannot avoid.

    @299 What Elijah said.

    On top of all that, bookmaking websites are now giving even odds that Trump won’t finish his term.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: If Mueller obtains grand jury indictments against Trump’s son and son-in-law, which seems highly probable, I’m guessing Trump won’t be able to resist the temptation to fire Mueller and then all hell will break loose.

  305. 305

    @302 Clueless as always.

    “The Flynn guilty plea comes from someone who, until the day he was reluctantly fired by Trump as national security adviser, sat at the absolute epicenter of Trumpworld. And, unlike Manafort, Flynn’s charge deals directly with his interactions with the Russian ambassador — and goes to the very core of Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and any possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. …

    “Whether or not this probe ultimately reaches to Trump, it’s now totally impossible for the President and his allies to dismiss the Mueller investigation as a ‘hoax,’ a distraction or the work of Democrats bitter about losing the election.

    “The following things are facts:

    “Mueller was appointed as special counsel by Trump Justice Department deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

    “Flynn was an extremely close and influential adviser to Trump as a candidate and as president.

    “Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

    “There’s no ‘fake news’ media in either of those three sentences. Or Democrats. Or hoaxes. Or witch hunts. …

    “And, with the Flynn guilty plea, there is absolutely no thinking person who could possibly believe that Trump’s presidency is not in some level of peril now. …

    “The Flynn charge is unmistakeable proof that this whole thing is inside Trump’s White House.”

    It already has. Flynn will testify that Trump gave the orders and called the shots with respect to managing the Russian response to the sanctions as part of the election assistance quid pro quo. That’s a half dozen felonies right there. Trump will deny it all and call Flynn a liar trying to save his own skin. Republicans in Congress will pretend to be confused and insist they need more time to “get to the bottom of things”.

    All you really need to know about Trump and the traitors that voted for him are contained in Trumps quote during his campaign on 23 January 2016. Presidential candidate Donald Trump caused controversy when he stated the following during a campaign rally in Iowa:

    I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.

    Trump and his ilk think they are above the law, end of story. Flynn, and anybody else, even if it is family, are simply going to be collateral damage so Trump can continue to rape and pillage the country.
