And this guy deserves whatever awards good journalists get. Not only does he have balls of steel, he is actually explaining what is going on as the cops clear a bridge. And the long shot is like cinematic gold. Only one criticism, and it's a big one: don't ask the protestors, who may or may not be documented, personal information. They are wearing those masks for a reason.

I love this community. We were thinking we were going to Tukwila, but then weren't needed, and then hit the march late coming out of the Westlake station. Just step right out of the train station into a political march. Great march. In these dark political times, it's cathartic to have something that feels like a celebration with people who aren't horrible. But Tukwila went sidewise, so a bittersweet day. The sense of community these marches create is so important. But the fuckers still are running shit.

Because many Americans are deplorable. Hillary wasn’t wrong.

I really dislike the all the robotexts, but this one from Hogg is pretty solid: "I am no longer a DNC Vice Chair. "This DNC vote to have a new election comes after weeks of contention about our work here at Leaders We Deserve, especially our plan to challenge ineffective Democrats in the primaries. "I came into this role to play a positive role in creating the change our party needs. It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair - and it's okay to have disagreements. What isn't okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on. "That's why I've decided not to run in this upcoming election. I need to do this work with Leaders We Deserve, and it is going to remain my number one mission to build the strongest party possible." "I'm thankful to everyone who supported me in this role, and now, I need your support. If you're with us in the fights ahead, considering donating..." blah, blah, blah. It actually sounds personal, it's gives information and his reasoning, it's not sensationalist. Just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

My theory. Bibi tells Trump he's going to do it. Trump tells him that'd be bad news. Trump leaves the meeting thinking he had talked Bibi out of it. The Israelis see the protests in the US and knows everything is just fucking muddy. The anti-Israeli aspects of any protests are going to be lost. Any physical damage/violence in the protests will be hung on anti-Israeli protests, which they will use to drum up fear over "antisemitic" radicalism. It will be a wedge, between the left and middle america, who, for whatever fucking reason, will still fucking support Israel, no matter what they fucking do. This weekend was already going to be a mess, and Netanyahu just took a giant shit in it. This story isn't going to be on the front page come Saturday. If he was every going to attack Iran, this was the time. He wasn't going to wait for Trump to approve it. What's Trump going to do: scold Netanyahu while he trying to consolidate his base going into a political battle in LA. Trump's a clown. Netanyahu is a war criminal. Trump was never going to stop him.

Fuck Israel. From the River to the Sea.

Ok. Make them do that. There was a reason why they didn't do it. There was some price. Make them pay that price.

He's saying "I am willing to free up cheap labor for you if you appeal to me personally." It's a pretty similar message on the tariffs. The only policy now is for the king to decide who the policies apply to.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Tuco replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Here's a thought - maybe if you actually gave a shit about the nonsense you and your racist dad have been selling last few decades, you wouldn't be keen on having a fucking picnic with fascists. -
Absolutely. I gave them money in Trump's first term. In my defense, my recollection is they were actually pushing back on anti-Muslim shit back then.

I remember that scene in Scarface where Tony Montana outmaneuvered the Columbians by cleaning up tourist shit in a Hilton.

Whose policy is more "neocon" when it comes to Ukraine: ours or Russia's?

The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread
Tuco replied to Bullneck's topic in Cloak Room
Paradoxically, he will also be the face of the cops shooting the protesters (and bystanders) with rubber bullets and pepper balls. It would be difficult to resist the federalization of the national guard without supporting those whose role they'd replace or augment. And to be clear, the national guard and marines haven't done shit yet. It's the cops. It would be tough line to walk for any politician, but I think Newsom will side firmly with the cops. Hell, I think half of Trump's reasoning for LA is to be able to hang the "lawless" bs on Newsom. -
The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread
Tuco replied to Bullneck's topic in Cloak Room
AOC would struggle to win a state-wide election in NY. She's not going to win the Presidency. That's just wishcasting nonsense. None of this has to do with who she really is, but what the wide-spread perception is. She is the the left-wing radical poster child. Swing voters aren't watching the debates. They aren't doing research. Her negatives are well established and they aren't going anywhere. -
The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Tuco replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
I haven’t argued it needs to be taught in a certain way. In fact my position is that details of the policy are irrelevant in the context of allowing the MAGA reaction to dictate the how it is presented, even if nothing materially changes. That’s not because I’m trying “to own MAGA”, but because I believe it is unconscionable to surrender to them as they (successfully) roll back the progress that has been made. If you feel that I have previously stated something different, please quote it. -

I didn’t realize we had to argue that diversity, equality, and inclusion were important. -

Tuco replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
I get what you are saying. I think for your job, your focus is looking at the details of the policy or program. But I think you are missing, or ignoring, the overall context in which those details are being adjusted. Trump runs on a life-is-so-unfair-to-white-men, Trump wins, and then multiple corporations remove "diversity" and "equality" from their company policies. You can argue the merits of this or that individual section or subsection of a policy, but, as a whole, this is just corporate cowardice and greed, at the expense of minorities who are significantly underrepresented in the corporate world. And we always do this. The Republicans make some stink about something and we think the solution is to change the name. Black Lives Matter is a pretty self-evident statement, but some people feel the need to qualify it. Critical Race Theory is an academic approach, but rather than standing by its basic conept, we back off leaving the vacuum for Republicans to set the academic agenda. Now DEI....because somehow diversity and equality are bad words. No, fuck that. We need to stop retreating from the terminology and start defending the concepts. But by all means, let's change the name tags and see if that addresses white victimhood that they don't have the same built in advantages they had in the past. -

I think how you talk about DEI/Inclusion/Equality is as important as the mechanics of the program itself. When corporations suddenly back off of DEI programs after the election of Trump, that sends a message to every employee; every minority and every racist working for you heard that message clearly. Not only is everything you previously said on the topic superseded, you have clearly indicated it is all negotiable. Nobody cares about how the policy is written. -
Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
Tuco replied to C-Man's topic in Cloak Room
The interesting thing about that story is that it's a story. I am not surprised in the least that Congressional staffers use anonymous accounts to defend their boss online. I'm pretty sure I've interacted with them. A "weekly" comment? Who gives a shit. But, "several" Congressional staffers talking to the press is interesting. This is a hit piece utilizing multiple professional Republicans as its source; their political professional careers are over if they are just being undisciplined. Nobody would want them if they can't shut the fuck up and it wouldn't be difficult to guess who they are. Unless they are already working with someone else. My guess is that someone with the SCGOP or National GOP wants to clean house. At the very least, someone with some pull is looking to primary her. -
I have a hard time believing soccer will be part of any inflection point in our current path.

A little Katherine Hepburn tangent: Hepburn got married early in her career (when she was 21) to Ludlow Odgen Smith. Even though Hepburn didn't have any plans to take his name, she hated the idea of being called "Kate Smith" by anyone. Kate Smith, "the Songbird of the South," was a rather stout, ultra-patriotic singer well known for singing "Good Bless America." To overcome this objection, Ludlow Odgen Smith changed is name to S. Ogden Ludlow to avoid any confusion. (Undefeated.) So, yeah, not liking the song is nothing new.

Trump wants to militarize this. I’m mean, that doesn’t work for the migrant, but that’s why I don’t want bullets flying. But maybe that’s the next stop in our path to bottom.

I guess the end of June..”. I mean, anyone who loves improv, has to love this administration. Just major economic policy being stream of consciousness nonsense. The funniest thing is that market doesn’t really react, because no one can take him seriously. The end state speculation is just priced in regardless of what absurd path it will take to get there.
