At a minimum he’s wasting fresh air by just breathing.
1,
Shortbus, before you commit any further to becoming a head-bobbing Jimmy Dore fanboy you really should take time to look into the guy.
He is without a doubt one of the biggest fucking phonies available to prop up the insecure cynicism of keyboard meatbags like yourself. I gotta tell you, I only click on your YouTube links about 10 percent of the time. And the second I see that Jimmy Dore logo swinging I stop the playback. The guy is probably one of the most intellectually dishonest people in media. His arguments are primarily ad hominem and false equivalency. He under-pays a mob of wanna-bes as “producers” to cherry pick some person from somewhere behaving badly then blows it up verbally to the cheering of his also under-paid studio flunkies. Then he uses that strawman example to discredit something else. It’s a tired-as-fuck shtick and you only make yourself look lazy by falling for it.
There really are some people on platforms like YouTube trying to make mouth breathing meat sacks like you more informed. Jimmy Dore isn’t one of ’em (not so much Praeger U either icyww).
Sitting in his car while black. What was he thinking?? He could have been shot!

Separately, Davis was also unable to confirm that Hillary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.

@5 “I gotta tell you, I only click on your YouTube links about 10 percent of the time.”
Who the hell is going to sit through 21 minutes of video to figure out what point Shortbus is trying to make, if he has a point at all? In this case, it took only about a minute to sense where he possibly was trying to go, but I ordinarily don’t bother to click on his YouTube links, and I was gonna bail on this one if I didn’t see something within 90 seconds. He’s just wasting our time anyway. Most of the time, he’s just trolling, posting outrageous stupid stuff to see if he can provoke a response. He says he wants to debate, but most of the time there’s no content or substance to debate, you’d just get sucked into a pointless argument. I’m not entirely convinced he’s quite as stupid as he appears to be. Often I think he’s trying to troll this blog like JCH used to do before Goldy banned him; he’s just not as blatant about it.
I should note that the markets are up – way up – today despite this news:
Iran says it has control of Gulf and Strait of Hormuz: report
A top navy general in Iranian said Monday the country took full control of the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping route that the Iranians threatened to block in the past amid worsening American-Iranian relations.
The Tasnim news agency reported the announcement by the head of the Revolutionary Guards navy, General Alireza Tangsiri, according to Reuters.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2.....eport.html
There once was a time during which this type of event would rattle the markets worldwide. I think that’s no longer the case for a couple of reasons:
1. Fracking and pipelines. Iran wants to close the Strait? Um, OK. Let ’em. We’ve got other sources, and only last week we were talking about selling part of the Strategic Oil Reserve.
2. There’s a new sheriff in town. Trump sets a few battleships and a carrier off toward the Strait, and Iran’s likely to fold like a cheap suit.
Iran’s reeling. This is good.

@7 Well, we’ll find out, won’t we?
Sir Ed was a great humanitarian, one of the best ever. After becoming world famous, he spent the rest of his life building schools and medical clinics in Nepal. (I doubt Doctor Dumbfuck ever volunteered in one of them.) I met Sir Hillary during one of his stateside fundraising tours. The only thing he wore on his sleeve was his amiability and humility, and his was a life devoted to the service of others.
Trump, not so much. I have a feeling that in an election pitting Hillary against Trump, Doctor Dumbfuck would vote for the cretin and then crow about how Hillary will never be president, and then go out to the barn and fuck his wife’s horse.
Iran’s reeling. This is good.

@13 See #14 and think on your sins. You’ll probably face the Judgment before I will, although the timing doesn’t really matter, it’s the outcome that counts. You should be acclimatizing for a warm climate at this point, and also get in shape for walking, because you won’t have the horse there. He didn’t do anything.
11,
You are probably right again, of course, that Shortbus may have no point at all.
But the regular pimping of Jimmy Dore videos is more than just random noise. Maybe Shortbus is a bot that earns part of its money from rather low quality placements like these. That might actually make sense. That’s just about how cheap Jimmy Dore is.
@9 Do you need the appellation explained, or did you get that?
P.S., I didn’t make that one up (or “Doctor Dumbfuck,” either), or remember who did, but in both cases it fits very nicely.
@10 No, he negotiated a “preliminary trade deal,” whatever that is. I suspect that means the terms don’t kick in unless Canada agrees to them. It appears the main thing he negotiated was changing the name “NAFTA” to “the United States-Mexico trade agreement,” which implies he doesn’t expect Canada to agree to the terms. Who knows what he went through to get that concession; maybe he threatened them with war, like he did to Little Rocket Man to get North Korea to stop saying they’re going to keep their nukes. One thing you can always be sure of with Trump is there’s more on the label than inside the box, like one of those half-full cereal boxes you pick up and shake in the grocery store when trying to figure out how badly the cereal maker is cheating you.
@12 “I should note that the markets are up – way up – today …”
The Dow is +1.0%, S&P +0.76%, Nasdaq +0.88%. Yawn. Scratch. Wake me up when something happens.
“Iran says it has control of Gulf and Strait of Hormuz”
Who cares? We’re going to be energy independent for the rest of time. Trump said so. Let the Iranians use all that Persian Gulf oil to grease the axles of their donkey carts. We don’t care. Hell, we’re exporting oil. And if we need to import oil, we can get it from Canada. Wake me up when the Iranian Navy blockades the U.S.-Canada border.
@17 Who’s paying the bot, FSB or Jimmy Dore?
@6 Well, that’s a lawsuit. Hope he soaks the apartment owner and security guard. With a good p.i. lawyer, he might be able to get the cash equivalent of 20 years’ worth of free rent from this.

depends on who’s paying Jimmy Dore. We should not be surprised if it’s the same people who were (and still are) paying Jill Stein.
“‘Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here,’ the Republican senator and former GOP presidential nominee wrote in a letter read by advisor Rick Davis on Monday.

Student Loan Ombud Quits In Disgust At Trump Policies
“The U.S. official in charge of protecting student loan borrowers resigned in protest on Monday, saying the Trump administration ‘has turned its back on young people and their financial futures.’ Seth Frotman, student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, … also ripp[ed] into CFPB acting director Mick Mulvaney. ‘At every turn, your political appointees have silenced warnings by those of us tasked with standing up for service members and students,’ he wrote in a letter. Frotman also accuses the CFPB’s leadership of suppressing … a [staff] report … that the nation’s largest banks were… ‘ripping off students on campuses across the country by saddling them with legally dubious account fees.'”

@2 Is RR a super delegate? He is a corporate democrat that is pretty well established. You telling Jimmy Dore to go play with his legos too? You tool.
@5 And you are all falling on personal attacks on me rather than the content of what is in there. You do not like it tell Jimmy Dore. Now we know end of the progressive spectrum three of you are on. He is just reporting on the rules passed by the rules committee of the DCCC. I do not think the superdelagates are at all democrat and if the democratic party is about being even mildly democratic one can quickly conclude there should not be any superdelegates, and the Republicans for all the faults you all like to point out is more democratic that the Democratic party at this time. Trump did have to overcome other Republican candidates in the Republican primaries. Yes he used divide and conquer, and may not have been their best, but in the end the Republicans stood by their process, and frankly expected to get trounced in the election. Usually it’s the Republicans whose process is often more of a coronation and that process has not been healthy. Now it’s the Democrats because they are afraid of another Humphrey defeat who have much less than Democratic process. Washington Democrats were over whelming for Bernie Sanders. The Democratic insiders stole the nomination from Sanders. So yes I’m putting you all in the position that you can’t this shit on Republicans because the 2016 nomination process was not a nomination process but a coronation process that put a shitty candidate up for President, running against the person she wanted to run against. (Yes Hilliary and other insiders with access to the media worked to get Trump mentioned more often rather than the rest of the field of candidates, none of which any of you would love, but at least you might have to have a bit of respect for.) Jimmy Dore is simply pointing out your hypocrisy. And amazingly you all are making assumptions that I agree with everything he’s saying, I do not, but I think a few more Progressive voices on here is a good thing. Make you work a bit harder as you cannot just fall on your memes of Republicans are evil and your propaganda. At some point you all have to sit down and talk to others in the big tent. Or you may find those others learning from you all and then applying and you finally dancing to their tunes.
Pussies.

I do think one of the most important issues is which way we are going to come down on the salmon. We can keep the status quo and keep all the dams and we will not have salmon and we will not have a unique species of killer whale in our waters. Democrats and Republicans over the decades have supported the Army Corp of engineering in putting in the various dams. If we want orcas some of the dams on the lower Columbia need to come out opening up some of the snake river. This would put 50 to 500 million more Coho into he Pacific and into our waters feeding the Orcas and preserving natives way of life and what is truly one of the great gifts of nature on the Pacific Northwest. Ultimately if this gift is squandered we can not blame the Republicans or the Democrats as we are at fault. As we collectively have made the same choices for decades. Take the dams out and we will have salmon for generations, leave them in and the runs will become smaller and smaller and become less biologically feasible. I guess we will blame global warming if the salmon go extinct, but they can survive a warmer Earth and have in the past.
@11 Wel at least from time to time you have acknowledged being a party hack, but good party hacks especially when retired and nothing better to do would sit through the video. Maybe my point you are too fucking lazy. Hell you could have made a command decision, and delegated the watching to Mrs. Rabbit, but again you are too fucking lazy. You are not even a decent party hack.
Now you don’t like what he had to say let me and everyone know when you post your bitch to him.
And actually you have not really even touched on why I put it up. It’s on your parties rules at the national level. I see you all saying the same things all the time, which tells me none of you are thinking. Just giving me and others the same old tired memes.
@26 “Is RR a super delegate?”
No.
“He is a corporate democrat that is pretty well established.”
If owning stock makes me a corporate something-or-other, then I suppose I am. At least I’m not a former Toys-R-Us customer like you.
@27 “And you are all falling on personal attacks on me … ”
Don’t you think you asked for it? Besides, name-calling and personal insults is what everybody does here. Why should you be exempt? You volunteered for that by trolling here.
” … rather than the content of what is in there.”
What content? All I saw was a vacuum approximating deep space beyond the most distant quasars.
@28 Actually, they drafted one he refused to release, and I suspect they went around him and released it anyway thinking they’re do him a favor, which they probably are.
@29 “If we want orcas some of the dams on the lower Columbia need to come out opening up some of the snake river.”
Somehow you managed to get it exactly backwards. The Lower Columbia dams have fish ladders. It’s the Snake River dams that need to come out. If they don’t, removing the Lower Columbia dams (which isn’t going to happen) would do nothing for the salmon runs.
However, I and my fellow wild creatures appreciate your willingness to back dam removal to save the salmon and your solicitude for the orcas. It’s the thought that most counts. The fish and whales thank you for thinking of them.
Of course, if you’re serious about wildlife, fish, and whale conservation, then you can’t possibly support Trump or his environmental vandalism.
@30 “but good party hacks especially when retired and nothing better to do would sit through the video”
No, paid party hacks watch such videos, if that’s what they’re being paid for. I’m only an unpaid volunteer hacking for the Democrats because it’s the patriotic thing to do, me being a patriot at heart. And I do have better things to do than spend my time catering to your juvenile impulses, e.g. counting up how much money I made today in the stock market thanks to Trump’s Mexico trade deal.*
* I’m not only a liberal propagandist and Democratic party hack, but an opportunistic one. Somebody on my side has to make that money, or Republicans will get it all.
I don’t understand how there are people not going to jail for this. Isn’t this libel or defamation?
There needs to be some new law (yes one that Republicans hate but don’t understand why we need laws) that puts these people in jail.

@12 We have at least one carrier group in the region, and the strait and all that is considered international waters. Maybe the fleet sailed in Saudi waters or out into the gulf, but it will be back, and we will find out if the Iranians are serious.

@16 The sunspots say get ready to be chilly here. Climate change really is the normal. I do believe we are contributing, but the contribution and outcomes are hyped, and there will be winners and losers, and winners Canada and Russia should say burn baby burn. And when you put out a climate model then the actual weather has to fit the models predictions to be accurate. Heavy ice in the artic, and snow in Utah today don’t match that prediction, but do match the sun spot cycle. What Ben Franklin relied on for his Farmers Almanac.
I am not paid by anyone for anything I say on here. Unlike others I do under my own name. Some others on here I suspect are likely paid hacks, though I have no proof of that. The only ones who would know that are Goldy and the administrators. I have however invited Mr. Dore to comment on here. I doubt he will or will make a video staring you all, but it could happen. Doubt it but it could be grand fun. Rather like the fun Chaucer had in his tales.
@31 Hard to be a toys are us consumer these days because the corporatist a-holes like you closed the company. PS there has not been a Toys Are Us store in Bellingham for well over 5 years. Stop being such a lazy bunny.
@32 I am not all that into the name calling and personal insults. You as a former member of the US Army should remember how former military members deal with this kind of crap. You and I need to have a little in person discussion? I know I am not perfect, but for the most part I do not do a whole lot of personal insulting and name calling on here. Wish you come up to my level fucking army ground pounder. You want to go down this road with me well come on. I think maybe Mrs Rabbit may need to tell you something here, and maybe you should listen.
@34 I don’t need to support Trump or not on this issue. It’s a Washington state issue, and a Pacific northwest issue. The dams on the Columbia need to come out because it’s just to create an unnecessary port up river when the grain can be shipped via rail car, and the electric turbines replaced by waterwheels. While the feds have a hand in this with the Army corp of Engineers local politics count. It’s the politics here in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest and not the politics of Washington DC that counts. So get off your ass rabbit.
Shortbus,
have you ever in you life even bothered to go to a precinct meeting for any party of any kind? Forget it. I know the answer.
You’re like some sad Goth kid. You think being cynical implies you have some understanding of “hidden truth” all the “normies” can’t see. But you’ve just assumed a pose to cover for your vast insecurities. The majority of the time you have absolutely no direct contact with anything in real life. And that’s probably why you need to rely on a phony like Jimmy Dore. Thing is, he’s had no direct contact with anything real either.
If you can’t be bothered to even fucking attend a meeting I don’t really care what you think about my party’s delegate process. Same goes for Jimmy Dore. You lazy slugs are complaining about the party processes of a political party you don’t belong to.
Shortbus, you are a Republican. You’ve said as much. You are on record on these comment threads. You’re stuck with that. So maybe I can’t blame stains like you for trying to make everyone else look as corrupt as you are. But with Vladimir PornSweat calling all your shots you’ll just never get there. You guys now officially stand for unapologetic finger rape, campaign finance corruption, torturing four-year-olds, groping high schoolers, trillion dollar annual deficits, Tiki Torch Klan Rallies, and $15,000 office furniture. You cheat on your wife with money you stole and then throw her under the bus for it. That’s who you are now. You did this to yourself. Democrats had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. The guys who look for the good in Nazis can’t teach anybody anything about democracy.

The victim businesses can sue the shit out of them — and the website owner — for defamation. If these idiots are in college, let’s see how long they have to live with their parents if they graduate with $100,000 of student debt and another $200,000 of legal judgment debt.
@37 They’re not serious. They couldn’t close the strait for more than a few days, and they would take a pounding. It’s a suicide mission. They know this. Their jawing is designed to rattle oil markets, not threaten western governments.
There’s an easier way to disrupt the oil trade than by mining the strait or fighting western warships. All they have to do is sink one oil tanker, with plenty of fat targets to choose from, and insurance rates will go through the roof. Then shipping companies will pull their vessels out of the region.

“The dams on the Columbia need to come out because it’s just to create an unnecessary port up river when the grain can be shipped via rail car, and the electric turbines replaced by waterwheels.”
That would be the Snake River dams, the port in question being Lewiston, Idaho. Those dams are not “on the Columbia,” unless you consider the Snake River a stretch of the Columbia River — no one else does; everyone treats it as a tributary of the Columbia. If what you’re trying to say is the Snake River dams should be breached, there’s a movement for that, but it hasn’t gotten past Republicans in Congress or the lobbying of Idaho agricultural and business interests. Yes, barging grain is MUCH cheaper than rail, which is why there’s so much resistance to dam removal.
“and the electric turbines replaced by waterwheels”
What?? The Snake River dams produce about 3,000 megawatts — roughly 15% of BPA’s total generating capacity, and 5% of the Pacific Northwest’s electricity — and you’re going to replace that with water wheels?

It seems obvious that Wells Fargo, a criminal banking organization if there ever was one, shouldn’t be editing stories about itself in an information source pitched to investors.
