I would have thought by now people had figured out that Trump never has a plan. This whole half-assed telethon was what could be thrown together at the virtual last minute after the Toddler-in-Chief fucked up all the party’s months of planning with his little pissing match with NC’s Dem governor.
So what does he do? He violates the Hatch Act so he can get the huge crowd of hand-picked goobers he hoped for packed together like spam in a can, and he STILL managed to come sounding like he was doped to the gills on ludes.
re: #25 Dr Lizardo
I would think the GOP would’ve had that demographic sewn up long ago.
If I actually think about it deeply, there are actually two bases that the GOP are trying to address right now.
One is people who are frightened and desperate but scared of change: they’re basically talking to those people like they’re an abusive parent…”Everything else is scarier than me, I’ll protect you, but you never get to point out my errors.” And since they don’t have a framework to understand that something else is possible, the Mephistopholean bargain seems the best option.
The other are the people that we like to pretend don’t exist, who aren’t a demographic in terms of region or economy* but have accepted the inevitability of cruelty and decided that the best possible outcome is to be a mid-level goon who gets to pick who they put the boots to and rob the apartment of. The people who are covert sadists and enjoy the spectacle of breaking the rules because it’s what they wanted to do but are scared of getting caught. The ones for whom a guy who creeps on teenage girls, cheats at everything, and just shamelessly says stupid and cruel things is an aspirational figure.
*but are mostly white, because whiteness is an MLM where you earn the right to abuse power on your own behalf by acting as goons enacting the abuses of power of higher-up members.
Unfortunately there’s a bunch of both where I live…and they’re not perfectly distinct circles.

I read some article a few days back about him experiencing health issues, but I admit, I’m a bit surprised. I figured he’d hang there for a bit longer to at least finish his term, which is set to expire in October 2021.
re: #31 teleskiguy
Seems that PM Abe suffers from ulcerative colitis and has since he was a young man. He had a major flare-up back in 2007 that forced him to step down as PM at that time.
And while I’ve finally achieved Mithradatism after being told “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” about the LIncoln Project…another reason I’m not going to completely warm to them is that the image of “dumb hick voters” is a misdirection that speaks to the Lincoln Project’s secret…um…project of letting Republican Smart Boys perform their superiority.
Most Trump voters aren’t simply stupid, they’re enjoying themselves because there’s decades of culture that has raised them to believe that rhetoric is validity, and the forms of rhetoric that simply dismiss dissent are the best because they are cruel and final. Many, many educated people sign on for this because they assume that their success in one field makes them generally smart, and absolutely HATE the idea of expertise and formal logic. The guys that wrote ad copy and thinkpieces that made this the cultural mainline are now pretending that all these folks are morons because squids spray ink to escape sharks and culpability.
When all you have is a sword, every problem looks like a Gordian Knot, and at some point many rounds of bisection you begin to further assume that you’re Alexander the Great.
Like, we could meaningfully talk about “the hubris vote” and “the sadist vote” as blocs.

It’s more that they believe their own bullshit about how the bulk of those who catch it either are asymptomatic or suffer mild symptoms, that those symptoms are little worse than the flu, and it’s over and done with so quickly that there’s no point in trying to avoid getting sick.

President has been sending that message from the outset. And cases will increase or continue at high levels.
On a completely different subject, corsets. (Pulling out my bodice-ripper editor hat.)
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard (disability activist in the United Kingdom who is deaf, blind in one eye, has POTS, and severe scoliosis) talks about the misinformation which has been promulgated for two hundred years about corsets. She also talks about them as both a foundational piece of clothing and as a correction and relief of pain for scoliosis.
Some fun facts:
The idea that corsets “squished your innards” or caused women to faint that you read from contemporary pieces from the time were all written by men. Women didn’t write about them then for the same reason men don’t write about their boxers or briefs now.
Attacks on corsetry started in first wave feminism, when women sought basic rights. One of the few businesses which earned lots of money run by women were corset-makers, so attacks on corsets were a proxy for attacks on feminism. A properly fitted corset causes none of the problems claimed by writers of the era or now.
Men wore corsets then (and now) as well. They are made by tailors however, so that was an acceptable business.
Women of all classes and stations wore corsets. They support the back during physical labour (and back injuries are one of the most common temporary disablements).
Before brassieres, they supported bewbs by distributing weight down the length of the torso. No band or strap cuts into the skin.
Caution for brief segment of her in Forties style knickers and brassiere, otherwise safe-for-work. (17:03)
Just watched Joe Biden’s acceptance speech again. The diametric opposition is so blatant, so obvious. Cheetolini’s hard core supporters who watch Biden’s speech then their dear leader’s speech tonight and still side with the orange bag of shit proves that a good 40% of voters in the United States are wicked halfwits. The decency and compassion displayed in Biden’s speech…
If Fuckface Von Clownstick wins again this country is irredeemable and I hope its decline happens swiftly.
After tonight, I think all those who worried that the RNC would be a game changer and that it would upset the balance of the race can rest easy. The ratings dropped night after night and I doubt that snoozer of a finishing speech did much to stem the bleeding. After the pundits get past their normalizing routine (“Nobody cares about the Hatch Act! Look at those fireworks!”), the final assessment is likely to be a resounding “Meh.”

I’ve smoked weed for 50 years this October.
The Hubbard’s Gap fire to my west in Banner County in the Wildcat Hills has grown to ten acres.
Firefighting in the area is difficult because only a one-lane sand road goes through Hubbard’s Gap between NE-88 and US-26, there is no water other than Pumpkin Creek well to the south, and the only town in Banner County is the unincorporated seat Harrisburg many miles away. There are no other roads in the area.
Relative humidity in Banner County right now is 87%, but will drop to 18% by tomorrow afternoon. Winds are 15mph from the north, but will shift and be about 20mph from the south.

It’s another Zimmerman case, another white guy who got overconfident until shit went sideways, then panicked and is now going to plead to the court that everything he did was in “self-defense” and he was so scared for his life that he never thought of fleeing until a man lay dead.

But as people here pointed out, he’s going to have a difficult time claiming self-defense. Wisconsin laws are pretty strict on the use of deadly force, there’s no “stand your ground” laws and no “castle doctrine” laws either.
A good prosecutor could put this fool away for a very, very long time.
And I saw the relevant section of Wisconsin law regarding self-defense, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t use that as his defense. It just means that he’s gonna have to work harder than most to BS a jury that he was so “afraid” that he had “no choice” but to fire wildly at an “attacker.”

Part of wrapping themselves in the flag of false patriotism is convincing others that they will be dying in good cause; e.g. for the honor of the country. And the fear and loathing side reinforces it since it’s saying that they might need to do so to save everything good - though it pretty much means saving white privilege and the right of the wealthy to stomp over everyone else.
All part of claiming the class war is really a race war. Dividing the enemy by convincing a chunk of the class that their enemy is another part of the same class. (Same playbook that has been in use for a few hundred years.

I hadn’t been watching the local news or been near my cell phone yesterday, so I didn’t realize there was a curfew in Mpls. and St. Paul last night starting at 8:00pm because of rioting in Mpls. over a local issue the night before. It looks like things were quiet overnight.
In other StarTrib headlines this morning:
Man charged with threatening to kill Gov. Tim Walz over his endorsement of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar
“I wasn’t thinking straight when I said those stupid things,” the complaint quoted Simonson as saying. He went on to say he was “feeling sick” about what he said, claimed he was no threat, needs to work on his “anger management” and was just frustrated about government restrictions connected to the coronavirus pandemic and recent urban riots.
He added that he feels that he’s unable to express himself because he is banned from Facebook.

It’s so weird to see Jim Gaffigan go off on twitter against Trump. I’ve listened to several interviews and he is extremely careful to avoid politics. But as he said, paraphrasing, ‘if people think I’m going to ruin my career by doing this, if Trump is re-elected the economy will never come back’ (i.e. who will even have a career to worry about?)
I found the tweet (among many), but I’ll leave my paraphrase up:

In grim statistics, on coronavirus.jhu.edu, the death toll in Brazil and Mexico finally edged slightly higher than the US, with a combined total of 181k, a couple of hundred more than here. The US is the only “advanced” nation where the pandemic is still raging out of control due to our banana republic government. It is staggering that so many Americans are so stupid or racist that Trump still has any chance at all of being reelected.
“But so I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think we’d have a very, very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, we’d solidify what we’ve done, and we have other things on our plate we want to get done.”— President Trump, in an interview with the New York Times, when asked about his second term agenda if re-elected
So it’s a good thing:
- USC Dornslife tracking poll finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump nationally by 13 percentage points, 53% to 40%.
- and a new Navigator Research poll has a similar finding with Biden ahead, 54% to 41%.

Thanks! If I have time I soak the diced potatoes in cold water for a while. When you go to cook them first drain well and air dry or use a kitchen towel to get the wet off. Saute the veggies in a little olive oil over medium heat. It takes some time to get them properly browned - don’t get impatient. Add a pat of butter as it will help the browning process. Don’t add the ham (or corned beef or ?) until the potatoes are the color you want. In this video a fellow explains his method:

Some big news out of the University of Arizona (@uarizona):
UA scientists & staff found a coronavirus outbreak on campus *before it happened* — and seem to have snuffed it out.
How in the world do you do that?
You use wastewater testing.— (((Charles Fishman))) (@cfishman) August 27, 2020
The short version is that people who are infected with COVID begin to defecate COVID virus traces very quickly after they become infected. This fact plus a very good understanding by the University of Arizona’s staff about their sewage system allowed for the installation of a partial campus disease surveillance and early warning network. Roughly 20 buildings including all occupied dorms’ outflow pipers are monitored. Before students came on campus, all of these dorms had no COVID in their outflow.
Earlier this week, one dorm had a detected spike in COVID virus traces in the sewage. This is a surveillance signal. It was a signal that was good enough to say “PROBLEM IN HOUSE X”.

For #3 (two possibilities):
—Health Care, especially given GOP efforts to strip it away and the millions who have lost their insurance due to the pandemic.
—Dealing with the racial divide — and emphasizing that the discord and riots are happening in Trump’s America because he refuses to unite us
“Biden, then, should go immediately to Wisconsin, the crucial state that Hillary Clinton infamously ignored. He should meet the Blake family and give them his support and comfort. He should also meet Kenoshans like the small-business owners quoted in the Times piece, who doubt that Democrats care about the wreckage of their dreams. Then, on the burned-out streets, without a script, from the heart, Biden should speak to the city and the country.”

There are ways to do it safely.
Why Republicans Can Get Away With Violating Laws Democrats Have to Obey
- The Trump administration has effectively turned the law into a dead letter, in following its basic principle that any law that lacks an effective and immediate enforcement mechanism essentially does not exist
- One reason, particular to this administration, is that Trump violates so many norms so flagrantly that he shatters the scale.
- But another, more long-standing, reason is that the two parties operate in structurally different news environments.

Being an effective con artist is perhaps Trump’s one and only strength. He’s like the ultimate used car salesman.

Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is
Okay: In the role playing game known as The Real World, “Straight White Male” is the lowest difficulty setting there is.
This means that the default behaviors for almost all the non-player characters in the game are easier on you than they would be otherwise. The default barriers for completions of quests are lower. Your leveling-up thresholds come more quickly. You automatically gain entry to some parts of the map that others have to work for. The game is easier to play, automatically, and when you need help, by default it’s easier to get.

Let’s be fair — that is deceptive because there are more people living here than any time in American history. Deaths as a percentage of population would be more apples-to-apples comparison (sort of) but can still be misleading because it ignores the age distribution of population. I wonder what the statistics were like during the last great epidemic, which appeared to be a far more lethal disease.

No, let’s not be “honest.” For one thing, the statement is accurate. For another, we’re not talking about piles of potatoes here, we’re talking about human souls.
Anyway, in past massive epidemics, there were no antibiotics (secondary infections) no ventilators, no intensive care nurses, etc. There should be far fewer casualties. I don’t need to remind anyone here that we’re talking about criminal neglect.
