Monday Open Thread

Man, how is it so hot? Go drink a glass of water. Right now. Iced coffee or whatever is nice, but have some water now.

My apartment doesn’t have AC and there isn’t enough heat to justify getting it, but every year it gets worse. Damn you heat trapping properties of carbon and the urban heat island. We have until tomorrow night and then the worst is over. Hopefully no new wild fires.

    Urban heat islands are the main driver of the false contention that the globe is “warming”.

    Move a temperature station from a rural area to an urban one, watch the temperature rise in the new location, claim “the earth is warming!”, receive a grant to study the reasons for it, which don’t exist other than the re-location of the surface station.

    Nice work if you can get it. Thanks, Carl, for the admission.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What is genocide?
    Genocide is the violent and intentional destruction of a group as such or the attempt to do so, causing serious and irreparable harm to the group.

    Yes, Israel is committing genocide against the group of POS terrorists known as Hamas. Guilty.

    Urban heat islands are the main driver of the false contention that the globe is “warming”.

    The “urban heat islands” canard was debunked by a Koch funded study:

    The Koch brothers were not the only funders who have historically opposed global warming theories, but the scientists still concluded that the data speaks of itself. Muller wrote: “Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.”

    @4 typical blather from the widbee dope.. So let us read on:

    Statements by senior Israeli officials and actions on the ground prove beyond any doubt that, in Israel’s eyes, the entire population of the Gaza Strip is the target. Israel has been leading a systematic policy for almost two years, with clear and visible outcomes: entire cities erased, the healthcare system shattered, educational, religious and cultural institutions destroyed, more than 2 million people forcibly displaced, and masses killed and starved. All this and more, put together, constitutes a coordinated attack on all aspects of Palestinians’ life. It is a clear and explicit attempt to destroy Palestinian society in Gaza and create catastrophic living conditions that prevent the continued existence of this society in Gaza. That is precisely the definition of genocide.

    This analysis doesn’t come from Hamas. It is from a Human Rights org from inside Israel.

    Yeah, Carl, I used to suffer through Seattle’s August hot days too. After all, there weren’t that many of them, though have you noticed that’s changing? Now, higher temps and longer hot spells? Climate change, baby.

    Seattle used to be America’s least air-conditioned city, but that’s also changing. A/c is becoming a necessity, or at least highly desired comfort item, here.

    As an apartment dweller with a constrained budget, I suggest you consider getting a portable room air conditioner. These units range in price from under $200 to around $500 depending on capacity (get the most BTUs you can afford).

    I can afford to, and did, spend big bucks on central a/c. Before that I got some relief from a $400 room a/c unit, not a perfect solution but it made the hottest days more tolerable, and now I use it in my gym to augment the central air, I like it even cooler because I sweat during workouts.

    John Bolton is the lowest of the low. A chickenhawk. A draft dodger turned warmonger. A coward who sends other people’s children to die in wars he won’t fight himself. As a Vietnam veteran, I regard him with contempt. He’s unfit to sit in the same latrine with me. He also worked for Trump.

    Trump now says Bolton is “unpatriotic” and a “sleazebag.” I agree. And I don’t much care what Trump or anyone else does to him. If he gets hit by a car, I’ll send flowers to the driver.

    As for the early-morning knock on his door, followed by FBI agents storming into his house and pawing through his personal papers and effects, it looks unconstitutional and illegal to me, but if it’s going to happen at all, I can’t think of a more deserving asshole for it to happen to. Hearts and flowers.

    Yale law graduate Jaydee Bowman, aka Vance, had this to say: “We’re in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton … if we think Ambassador Bolton committed a crime, of course eventually prosecutions will come … there’s a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton.”

    Absent from this statement is anything constituting probable cause for a search warrant to break into a man’s home and rifle through his possessions. In law school, this is known as a FISHING EXPEDITION, and endorsing it makes Bowman aka Vance a two-bit lawyer.

    As President Donald Trump threatens to use his authority to deploy more National Guard units to various U.S. cities, one expert on authoritarian regimes is sounding the alarm that Trump could end up irreparably damaging the U.S. military’s reputation as a result. …

    New York University professor and author Ruth Ben-Ghiat said Trump’s use of the military to perform domestic law enforcement duties was a page out of the playbook of some of the world’s most notorious far-right dictators. …

    “The state security forces and the military end up losing their integrity,” she explained. “And instead of being used like the National Guard to help Americans, or like the military to guard us from foreign adversaries, they become the adversary to the people, and they lose all of their integrity and their soul and their honor, and people come to hate them and that is a bad outcome for these forces.”

    If this continues, it’s just a matter of time before people start calling the National Guard the “Republican Guard.”

    Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick voids ‘illegal’ $7.4B payment to Biden ally-staffed nonprofit for semiconductor research

    The 2022 CHIPS and Science Act provided for $11 billion in semiconductor research and development funding to be given out by the Commerce Department’s National Semiconductor Technology Center.

    “Rather than establishing these operations within the Department, however, Biden Administration officials spent significant time, effort, and resources creating an unaccountable, outside entity–Natcast–to administer taxpayer funds,” Lutnick wrote Natcast CEO Deirdre Hanford.

    Four days before Biden left office on Jan. 20, Lutnick noted, the Commerce Department agreed to set aside $7.4 billion in “advance payments” to Natcast after spending nearly two years setting it up and tapping administration officials, advisers and allies to fill out positions.

    I”m sure not all of that money would have been stolen by cronies of The Biden Crime Family. Some of it would have funded Democrats running for office in 2026.

    A measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for their income, business conditions and the job market fell by 1.2 points to 74.8, remaining significantly below 80, the marker that can signal a recession ahead.

    You have to admire Welfare Queen YLB, just a little, for trying to share something of relevance, even if she doesn’t understand what it is she is trying to share.

    She gets it – sort of – that there’s not much to cheer about in the economy right now, for most people. But she also gets it – sort of – that things are going far better right now than they are supposed to go, if all of the naysaying by her friends in the media is true. After all, are we not facing an economic apocalypse due to:

    • tariffs

    • rising unemployment

    • skyrocketing rents and home prices

    • stubbornly high interest rates

    • the end of student loan payment deferments

    • all of those illegals self-deporting, not to mention the illegals being identified and queued for deportation by ICE

    • rampant crime in blue cities in states governed by Republicans (but not in blue cities in states governed by Democrats)

    • fascism running rampant in every right-leaning neighborhood

    ?

    Shouldn’t consumers be scared shitless, with all of the media blaring nonstop about how awful our lives are now that Donald Trump is back in office?

    After all, Welfare Queen YLB knows what is supposed to be happening if everything she reads is true. So why isn’t it happening?

    Why, had she actually gone beyond the MSN blurb and actually looked at the Consumer Confidence Board’s statement, would she be reading:

    Consumers were less pessimistic about future business conditions in August.

    19.5% of consumers expected business conditions to improve, up from 19.0% in July.
    21.9% expected business conditions to worsen, down from 22.7%.

    Why do more people thing things will get better and fewer people think things will get worse?

    Consumer assessments of their Family’s Expected Financial Situation strengthened slightly.

    Why do people think their family’s financial position will be better?

    Present Situation

    Consumers’ assessments of current business conditions improved slightly in August.

    22.0% of consumers said business conditions were “good,” up from 20.5% in July.

    Why are things getting better for businesses if tariffs are going to take down the economy?

    Purchasing plans for cars increased in August, with buying intentions for both used and new cars rising.

    If the economy is heading toward the shitter, why take on another $50k in debt?

    My answer to these and all of your other questions, Welfare Queen YLB, is that the economy will head sideways for the foreseeable future. Probably until after the 2026 elections, when Democrats will be spanked for continuing to believe that a chick with a dick is a girl and that there should be no charges for stealing $949 from a store in California and that illegal aliens who kill three Americans with a truck deserve their freedom just like everybody who obeys the laws.

    After which we will begin to see some more right-leaning Democrats, there will be less resistance to rule of law, and the economy will respond positively to The Death Of Woke.

    Until then, Welfare Queen YLB, focus with all your might on who paid for that military parade. It might have been at the order of a Republican.

    Will Democrats learn their lesson in 2028? Or will they nominate a 5’8″ cocksucker who was a mayor of a small city once and is hated by black voters for how he did it, and then failed when he was given a bigger job, but sure speaks well on camera?

    MXP has not budged since Fat Hitler began levying and collecting “trillions of dollars” (according to the idiot himself) in tariffs.

    That means that foreign producers have not reduced their prices by one penny or the dollar volume of imports. And that every cent of that “trillion dollars” is being absorbed by U.S. importers (retailers, manufacturers, etc). So here we have the girlishly silly Nazi Fucktard actually arguing that U.S. importers can afford to do that for fifteen more months.

    Let’s talk about the opposite extreme, shall we? Last week on NPR’s Marketplace we were told that if “every cent of that ‘trillion dollars’ is absorbed” by the consumer instead of the importer, consumer prices would increase by all of 1.8%.

    We can probably agree that the reality is somewhere near the middle of that set of extremes.

    And at worst, 1.8% is nothing when considering that libbies had no problem when Bidenomics caused inflation to spike to 9%. And hey, slower growth of national debt is good for interest rates, which is good for the consumer.

    Dude being quoted is the director of economics at the Yale Budget Lab.

    Oh. Welfare Queen YLB whined about a reported price increase for the oh-so-technologically advanced Etch-a-Sketch. I realize it’s important to her because it’s a toy she can understand.

    Anyway, about toys (same link): Between 2019 and 2025, toy prices are down 9%, while thanks to Bidenomics everything else is up 26%. So if the price of an Etch-a-Sketch has gone up, it’s only catching up to everything Joe Biden caused.

    A total of 1 million people have self-deported, including the tens of thousands who used the CBP Home app, according to the Trump administration. Homan also touted the 1 million figure during his remarks to reporters on Wednesday.

    The DHS told the Washington Examiner that it obtained the 1 million figure through unspecified information that it received from other countries and through other internal government databases, but did not specify what that meant.

    The DHS would not clarify what percentage of the 1 million people had already been ordered deported, overstayed a visa, or other means that led to their being illegally present in the U.S.

    Adam Isacson, director of defense oversight for the Washington Office on Latin America, said the 1 million figure seemed higher than he believed self-deportations to be, but added that he has observed in his work that people are choosing to leave of their own accord.

    “A million sounds super high. I think we would notice that,” said Isacson, whose Washington-based organization advocates for the human rights of migrants across Latin America.

    Liar, liar, pants on fire! The “black woman” never “tried to take over for her boss.” He remained president throughout his term, and at no point did she attempt to supplant him. Nor was she “fired.” Voters elected her vice president and never fired her from that position, because she didn’t run for re-election as vice president; her vice presidential term expired.

    You’re right about one thing, though: American voters in aggregate, especially those in small-population, conservative-leaning states where a vote counts more in the electoral college, are too racist to elect a black woman president.

    The 9% inflation lasted only one month. Trump’s tariff inflation will last until he’s replaced, if not longer. With 41 months left in his term, the total hit to consumers’ wallets from his tariffs will far exceed the Covid inflation.

    @76 I have a confession to make: I’m doing really well. My capitalist gains are going up, and my taxes are going down.

    But it hasn’t gone to my head, and my politics haven’t changed. I’m still voting my conscience, not my self-interest.

    @77 That’s really beside the point. Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill kept millions of Americans afloat during the pandemic and paid for badly needed infrastructure repairs and improvements. Even Republicans in Congress voted for it.

    And then some Republicans who voted against it went back to their districts and bragged to their constituents about the projects it funded in their districts as if that was something they accomplished for them.

    @88 If Trump really said,

    I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.”

    that’s actually not true.

    @89 Demanding an invaded country give territory to the invader isn’t the stuff of Nobel prizes.

    @95 “Kamala’s newest lie: Trump will send the army after you”

    So far he’s only sent it after brown people in L.A. and black people in D.C.

    By the way, who is Derek Hunter? Oh yeah, a rightwing podcaster most people have never heard of.

    Hillary was right about the basket of deplorables. Harris was right about Trump sending troops into U.S. cities.
