I got it. I am reminded of what happened to my kid sister. She left all of her allowance money in the pocket of her jeans. When I went down to unload the washer I found all of her money all over the washer. When she heard that I found her money she grabbed it from me and ironed out every bill. And of course my kid sister being who she is threatened me that I should not tell a soul what happened.

Not schizophrenia, it’s not a literal voice in their head. About 90% of the time, it’s a “feeling” they get, a “sense.” In Christian parlance, they call it the “still small voice of God.” It’s purely coincidence that this so-called “voice of God” often lines up with exactly what they want to do.

Pentagon renames Georgia fort in final project to replace bases honoring Confederates

I am very glad to see this. The Confederate names were originally adopted to appease local racists when new bases were built in the South during the world wars. World War I in particular coincided with the heyday of Jim Crow and things were only marginally better during World War II. That rationale has long since vanished. There are still racists, to be sure, but we can now tell them to go fuck themselves.

And Erdoğan just blew up Turkish-Israeli relations. Heckuva job. 😑

Israel said Saturday it was recalling its diplomatic staff from Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a fierce attack on its military operation against Hamas militants in Gaza.

The decision delivered a body blow to the sides’ nascent efforts to restore political and economic relations after a decade of all but frozen ties.

Israel and Turkey — an overwhelmingly Muslim nation that forms the bulwark of NATO defences on the edge of the Middle East — had only just agreed to reappoint ambassadors last year.

They were also restarting discussions on a US-backed natural gas pipeline project that could have formed the basis for much closer and more lasting cooperation in the coming years.

But their relations have unravelled as Erdogan picks up the pace and venom of his attacks on Israel’s retaliatory military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

According to Maimonides (a thousand years ago), if the actual physical evidence of the world seems to contradict what you think the scripture says… then you’re reading it wrong. Scripture doesn’t say what you think it says, try again. God doesn’t lie, but people misunderstand him ALL. THE. TIME.

Most pedophiles don’t look weird or creepy. There are exceptions (like this gonzo) but they generally cultivate a conventional, “respectable” look. It’s part of their MO.

But conservatives aren’t trying to describe the world accurately, let alone use observation to solve material problems. Their premise is that they’re a better kind of person, and that they can be identified as such by a series of external displays…rituals, clothing, grooming, language…and that society can be repaired by using state power to enforce their preferred norms.

This necessitates the sorting of all other people into inferior categories that possess external features that contrast with their norms. You perfect society by getting everyone to either conform or to accept the sequestration of inferior types.

It’s at best lazy, and quite often cynical, but even when it’s sincere and carefully thought-through the base premise just doesn’t fucking work. Protecting that first axiom—I am a good person, and people like mean must be good—contaminates every subsequent decision they make in very predictable ways, most of which amount to mistaking the phenomenon for the noumenon and just doubling down on this premise until you’re defending actual child molesters because of what church they belong to and how well they dress their kids on Sunday.

This isn’t a uniquely conservative thing—everyone can be tricked into taking signifiers in lieu of the signified, ideas have no substance and thus there’s no test for who’s doing shitty things—but since conservatives insists that existing cultural norms create The Good, they’re particularly vulnerable.

I think Pence probably “did the right thing” on January 6th because 1) he knew he didn’t actually have the legal authority to do what Trump was demanding, and 2) he calculated that Trump’s coup attempt wouldn’t succeed.

Put him in a more serious theocratic coup attempt backed by military power, and it would be a very different story.

I believe that the average Republican does share that view; yes, there are some like Thiel or Grenell who may hold different views but the typical GOP voter opposes rights for those who are gay.

Most pedophiles don’t look weird or creepy. There are exceptions (like this gonzo) but they generally cultivate a conventional, “respectable” look. It’s part of their MO.

That weird “respectable look” is the look of a pedophile or Republican. I have a bad habit of repeating myself.

Alan Keyes, who was the carpet-bagger GOP candidate for Senate against Obama, disowned his daughter and threw her out of the house when she came out. I wouldn’t be surprised if most treated their children the same way, once the children were adults and could no longer be sent to reeducation camps.

Pentagon renames Georgia fort in final project to replace bases honoring Confederates

I am very glad to see this. The Confederate names were originally adopted to appease local racists when new bases were built in the South during the world wars. World War I in particular coincided with the heyday of Jim Crow and things were only marginally better during World War II. That rationale has long since vanished. There are still racists, to be sure, but we can now tell them to go fuck themselves.

re: #83 The Ghost of a Flea

But conservatives aren’t trying to describe the world accurately, let alone use observation to solve material problems. Their premise is that they’re a better kind of person, and that they can be identified as such by a series of external displays…rituals, clothing, grooming, language…and that society can be repaired by using state power to enforce their preferred norms.

This necessitates the sorting of all other people into inferior categories that possess external features that contrast with their norms. You perfect society by getting everyone to either conform or to accept the sequestration of inferior types.

It’s at best lazy, and quite often cynical, but even when it’s sincere and carefully thought-through the base premise just doesn’t fucking work. Protecting that first axiom—I am a good person, and people like mean must be good—contaminates every subsequent decision they make in very predictable ways, most of which amount to mistaking the phenomenon for the noumenon and just doubling down on this premise until you’re defending actual child molesters because of what church they belong to and how well they dress their kids on Sunday.

This isn’t a uniquely conservative thing—everyone can be tricked into taking signifiers in lieu of the signified, ideas have no substance and thus there’s no test for who’s doing shitty things—but since conservatives insists that existing cultural norms create The Good, they’re particularly vulnerable.

The bold is a key point. Conservatives use models of the real world that simply do not accurately describe reality. We are transitioning to a new era (Ie from fossil fuel driven economies to information economies) , one where more complicated models are being created that do a better job describing the complexity of the world and produce wiser decisions.

But conservatives use simpler models that are now inaccurate and result in objectively stupid decisions. And this has been true for the losing side in every one of the major transitions we have made from one economic reality to another. The British (ie getting caught on a peninsula because the ships did not arrive), the South (ie attack an elevated position with a infantry charge) and the Axis (ie tank attack in European winter without enough fuel to complete the mission) ALL made stupid decisons leading to their loss because they were working from poor models of the world.

And a major one, in each case, was that the losing side never thought the winning side would ever begin to fight. Not realizing that when the winners did begin to fight it was all over in a few years. Each of the conflicts had been going on for a decade or more before real battle was engaged. Usually 5 years would then be enough to end the war.

The MAGA GOP will eventually lose. I am hoping it will be in 2024 and fewer people will die needlessly. We are beginning to fight back effectively. We are seeing them make more and more stupid decisions that they think are brilliant. Overturning Roe v wade was not a win. Shutting down the government will not be a winning move. Undercutting Israel (look for that now that Russia is really going that way) and Ukraine will not help them. And their pro-gun position is weakening them all the time.

Here is one thing to watch for. Every political leader who brought us through these transitions is seen as the best in America - Washington/ Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR. Biden fits exactly the sort of leader we need to get us through this transition. It will be interesting if he completes this path, becoming one of the greatest, So far, so good.

re: #87 Charles Johnson

What we should have learned on January 6th is that the Republican Party is absolutely not opposed to taking over the government, by stealth and sabotage if need be, but by force if the opportunity presents itself.

The GOP has made its intentions very clear.

I view the coup attempt kinda like the Japanese invasion of Manchuria or the violence of Bloody Kansas - a prelude to war that is so beyond the pale that it initially invites discomfiture, not battle. It takes another event, one that is at base a complete misreading of reality (ie Pearl Harbor or Fort Sumter) to precipitate the actual battle.

If the coup was the event that got people’s attention that something was really wrong, it is Dodd and the overturning of Roe that has precipitated today’s actual battle. It is why I am encouraged that we can use this to lead to victory in 2024.

Haley
DeSantis (unless he decides at the last moment to not go)
Vivek R. (unless he decides otherwise)

Trump already has said he won’t go. Vivek has also suggested he may not go. DeSantis likewise.

My hypothesis - Trump does appear at the debate. This happens 2 days after I expect Trump to provide a disaster while under oath in NY. He will be desperate to change the news cycle and making a “stunning” announcement, he will appear on the stage ( now that there are likely only a couple besides himself and he needs to begin undercutting anyone left).

Which is why we need to win the House, as it is the new House that decides. In hindsight, it is easy to see how the South was doomed to lose, how the Axis were doomed to lose, but in the middle of battle, it seemed pretty obvious the North and the Allies were in real trouble. I think and hope the same here.

I hope that History will record that the 2024 election was obviously going to be a defeat for the traitorous MAGA GOP; that they really had no path to victory after overturning Roe, shutting down the government, undercutting both Ukraine and Israel, trying to ban ALL abortions at the Federal level, trying to outlaw contraceptives and destroy SS, Medicare and Medicaid, working to destroy public and higher education, and impeaching Biden.

Even Christie, who proclaimed that he was in this to go after Trump’s corruption, has been too cowardly to call Trump out on 91 freaking felony charges. None of these people have the integrity to lead this country if they can’t muster enough courage to do that simple thing. I guarantee you that had they all gone after Trump with ferociousness, and kept it up as a group, they could have toppled the paper tiger.

If Trump does show up, and they want to make a real run and not some pathetic campaign for the toothless VP in a corrupt administration, then they’d go after him hard. Call him a criminal.

Republicans may have a new speaker, but they’re still headed for the same cliff

Yep the first bill to attempt to get passed under the new Speaker will attempt to outlaw any abortion drug being mailed in the US. MAGAs say they will not vote for it unless it has that provision, Republicans from Biden districts have said they will not vote for such a bill with that provision (we shall see) Since it is a food/agriculture bill, they may also piss off a lot of farmers who need this to pass now!!

The shit show will continue until the government shutdown, with the GOP hoping they can blame the Dems (“If they would only vote for our bills, America wins”).

re: #148 Unabogie

Even Christie, who proclaimed that he was in this to go after Trump’s corruption, has been too cowardly to call Trump out on 91 freaking felony charges. None of these people have the integrity to lead this country if they can’t muster enough courage to do that simple thing. I guarantee you that had they all gone after Trump with ferociousness, and kept it up as a group, they could have toppled the paper tiger.

If Trump does show up, and they want to make a real run and not some pathetic campaign for the toothless VP in a corrupt administration, then they’d go after him hard. Call him a criminal. Call him a coup-plotter. Tell him to his face he’s a lying sore loser and he should stop lying about being a lying sore loser. Take him down a few pegs to his face, and maybe something good can come of this.

I agree. They are too cowardly and none of them seem to have the rhetorical chops to deal with Trump. But, perhaps if the NBC moderators actually did their job, something interesting could arise. Not hoping for that.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son

He actually has said in public that systemic racism exists and that the man he raised who had dark skin had a worse path than the man he raised who has white skin.

What a time for the MAGA GOP to find out their Speaker is woke!!

Won’t happen. When His Ass-Holeyness shows up they will all fold and endlessly kiss his ass. They will bow down to Gawd’s Anointed King.

Are Americans unhappy with the economy because of high interest rates?

Nope. People of both parties are happy with their personal economies. And Dems are happy at the national level. Only Republicans are unhappy with the Nartional economy. Not bcause of any fact but because of how Fix tells them it is so.

re: #95 Belafon

Gays have been open long enough that not only do many families have openly gay members, but most of the churches in my area, especially the big ones, openly accept gays.

Texas churches are much more picky, They hate gays but love them some pedophile Youth Directors.

Happens all the damn time. You wanna stop pedophelia in your church?

Hire some Drag Queens. They’ll rat those bastards right out.

Apparently he listened to Dan Quayle’s advice. No matter his views, (and intelligence) Quayle may likely be the last sane and uncorrupt GOP VP. He actually recognizes that Biden is President and attended the inauguration.

I think Judge Luttig may have had something to do with it too.

Well, I am in Texas. But I’m not in rural Texas, and the people here only want to stop women from getting abortions and paying for those people that don’t live here (yes, I know the scale of those). I remember a few years ago, during the whole “We must stop Target from letting trans people use the bathroom” our mayor tried to pass one of those, and the conservative people showed up and tore him a new one. It didn’t pass and he didn’t win reelection.

Did not mean to suggest he only listened to Quayle. Luttig was an important and necessary voice. As was, apparently, John “Torture is no problem” Yoo.

Rumor has it that Mike’s black “child” was acquired before he married Kelly, is 11 years his junior, and that Mike’s as gay as a box of birds (not that there’s anything wrong with that, except of course, for context).
