Open Thread Friday

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 6/14/19, 7:49 am

With Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving the White House, who will not give press briefings? Who will they find to spread gossip and administration spin? Who will be described as a “senior administration official” in the press when quoting them adds nothing to their story?

    Anything to make sure the long firm interview with Donald gets lost. Even starting a war. Wonder if there’s an aspirin factory somewhere.

    White cops, black family, same old:

    “A Phoenix couple has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the city after a video showed police officers arresting and drawing a gun on them after their 4-year-old daughter allegedly stole a doll.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/after-4-year-old-took-doll-dollar-store-video-shows-n1017601

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: I hope they get at least $1 million, and I hope the city takes it out of the police pension fund. It’s wrong to make taxpayers pay for racist police abuse of innocent black people.

    5,
    You have got to face it.
    This is what we pay them to do. And they know it. And they know how wrong it is. That’s why they drink, beat their wives, engage in sickening gallows humor, fuck their pets, and off themselves at such alarming rates. This is who police are. Because it is consistently what we ask them to be.

    Like Trumpism in the GOP, this isn’t some new thing. This has been the reality of police work in poor communities in America for over a generation now. And like the rabid white nationalism and authoritarianism in the GOP that has been there for decades, we just never saw it quite so clearly until now.

    Americans really have no sincere desire to debate the proper role of police in society. That role, as these people experienced it, has now become encoded into our culture in ways that will require generations in order to reform. Better that we should simply reduce their overall numbers in order to reduce the terror and carnage they inflict on our communities.

    4 – The government lies to us constantly. Lying has been a major theme for the American government for at least the past 150 years. The Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan – all built on lies told by the government for the benefit of high rollers in government.

    Wherein Trey Gowdy calls criticism of Trump’s lawbreaking “treason.” That’s what Republicans are now. They can’t defend their behavior, so they attack people who want politicians to be law-abiding.

    Roger Rabbit spews:

    At last! I’ve suspected it all along, but now it’s verified by academic research: Republicans are stoopid! To wit:

    “Those of low IQ are less likely to vote for democratic parties or sustain democracy.”

    At Our Wit’s End: Why We’re Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means For the Future,” Edward Dutton and Michael A. Woodley of Menie, Imprint Academic, UK (2018), p. 60.

    Of course, this isn’t surprising, given the typical Republican voter demographic: He lives in a trailer park, his idea of a retirement plan is spending every other paycheck on lottery tickets, and his favorite food is Lone Star beer.

    It’s apparent the Republican Party was created by modern medicine. In the Middle Ages, half of all children — generally the low-IQ half — died before age 5. And the poor white trash weren’t allowed to vote anyway. The revocation of natural selection by medical technology made the modern GOP possible.

    The general thrust of that book is that human IQ, after rising for centuries, has kicked into reverse and is now going backwards.

    That certainly explains phenomena like birtherism, climate change denial, the proliferation of conspiracy theories, the popularity of lotteries, and the 42% who still support Donald Trump.

    @9 Repukes are completely disgraceful.

    It’s gotten to a point where one could really give a shit about anything today – complete lawlessness. I think any citizen should have the right to just murder anyone they want (literally and figuratively) – why not The Hump himself said it – he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it….and it’s completely true. So, if it’s good for him, it should be good for anyone! It’s only fair and just.

    @11 why do we need a brain when we will have Robots? Darwinism should tell us that eventually humans will have no fucking brains. I think we’ve already starting evolving that way – take Bob for an example.

    Evolution – started with the washing machine.

    This is ok. Them hillbillies finally will be cleaner more often – they’ll no longer smell like shit. And the trailers will get a good washing too, as well as the inside of the trailer (seeing that half of them have tarps for roofs).
