Can someone please explain to me why the fuck everyone is posting yarns? They don't work half the time. 

They always work for me.  Yarn is the most consistent way to find movie quotes as gifs.  Copy image location and paste.  Works like a charm.

It sounds to me like Clinton ended up governing for all, not just his party. Although for those laws to pass they had to get voted to his desk. Governing for all, what a novel concept. 

Yes, the Clintons were very altruistic and none of us here would say anything that would cause us to feel the need to go out in the woods and shoot ourselves in the back of the head, twice.

I can’t begin to comprehend how many hundreds of hours of Limbaugh I heard back in the 90s.  I was listening to the wrong Rush.

In which very odd person and former UT Phrenology Dept head Richard Hanania spits out the bitter truth

 


wow. Might have captured the zeitgeist of the last 4 years and last 6 weeks better than anything I’ve read or listened to. Thanks for sharing.

The thing about Republicans ruining Thanksgiving dinner hits home, because most whites who have achieved some level of success in life, or at least aspire to do so, have aggressively stupid catturd-type relatives they want to avoid. They define themselves in opposition to such people.
This is how the left wins.
 

1) He’s kinda speaking the truth. He misses the fact that the left and center left have always had and been hospitable to white folks. Just because the white supremacists are made uncomfortable by being confronted with truths that INCLUDE our country’s unresolved institutional racism doesn’t mean that everything left of Trump is “all woke mind virus!”

2) Fuck that vile piece of shit.

3) BUT…his ultimate observation of the zeitgeist isn’t wrong.

Someone said earlier that Shapiro shut down legal pro-Palestinian protests, called the protestors racist, and compared them to KKK? Any hyperbole there? because that would be insanely problematic. Sorry for coming in late. I'm not hardcore pro-Palestine but ugh... would NOT want that baggage. Taking as someone who'll vote for the ticket no matter what.... just want to win.

God dammit, you are absolutely right.

This is a serious thread where we need serious people. If you’re going to name drop a character with 3 lines from a middling movie that was released 25 years ago, it’s gawd damn critical to be accurate.

Yeah. It his hilarious that he the left is moving beyond "woke" because it is embracing whites. He doesn't understand that it was only his flawed perception of "wokeness" that ever led him to the conclusion that it was anti-white at all.

In high school my friend thought it was a good idea to smash a folded over ketchup packet, spraying a jet on my shirt. This was so hilarious in his head he was paralyzed in an asphyxiating open mouth laugh, allowing me to fling a pickle slice in retaliation which stuck perfectly on one of the lens of his glasses. Pickle-ass pirate motherfucker...

How the fuck did some of you make it through high school without murdering a classmate?

A distant third is Kelly (boring, might not give her much unless the campaign knows something we don't know), and fourth is Shapiro.

Kelly has the military (combat vet, respected officer) and space/technology thing down (having been in space and having an engineering degree or two).  Elon Musk should be a bit worried about the space stuff.  Good counter to MAGA’s anti-science bullshit.

It’s funny, Trump would be lucky as hell to have Kelly, Walz, or Beshear as his running mate.  Extremely lucky.  

Instead, he gets a Yale grad who pretends to be a common man, who changed his name multiple times, and who has written weird shit, and who has written and said a lot of truly nasty stuff about Trump.

I laughed at this reply to that tweet:

 

I clicked on the Richard Hanania tweet, which I and many others are loathe to do. Unfortunately, neither you nor @Bozo_Casanova bothered to paste the full text. And whoa. It's pretty damn shocking to the extent that I wonder if his account has been hacked. 

For anyone else who didn't bother to read it because they don't go to twitter:

Quote

 

It’s taken me a week to fully comprehend the genius of “White Women for Kamala” and “White Dudes for Harris.”

One thing right-wingers love is to complain that you can only have affinity groups for blacks and other minorities. Whites sometimes feel like they’re being held to double standards and treated unfairly.

Along comes the Kamala campaign and says it’s ok to be white. That is, as long as you’re a good person, which means supporting reproductive freedom, not being “weird,” and voting Democrat. We’re all in this together.

It seems “woke” on the surface, but it’s actually a sign that liberals are moving away from woke. In 2020, something like this wouldn’t have even been possible. Talk of “whites” in left-coded spaces only occurred in the context of flogging them for their sins. In 2024, you can be a white dude for Kamala and it’s totally cool. The symbol for “White Dudes for Harris” is a trucker hat, showing self-deprecating humor and membership in a movement that is not at all weird or neurotic about race.

White people receive the message that Democrats do not consider you the problem. You’re welcome into the coalition. There’s even a Zoom call you can join, and don’t worry, it won’t be just Robin DiAngelo telling you how much you suck. Kamala has made clear that she’s *only* considering white men for VP, and there couldn’t be a clearer signal that we’re past peak woke.

DEI therefore doesn’t always mean anti-white! Now you White Dudes get your own DEI pick, like everyone else.

Republicans have been caught flat-footed. Conservatives want to portray these events as a kind of 2020 DEI struggle session, and they can find clips backing up that view, but people who have attended say that there was actually very little of that.

What else can conservatives say in response? I’ve seen a little bit of “why can’t we have a whites for Trump thing?” Well, who’s stopping you? It’s a free country. Organize “whites for Trump” and see what happens. Democrats have given you permission. Zoom can’t accuse you of violating the terms of service if you schedule the exact same event just with the parties switched.

There will be no “Whites for Trump” event because the campaign would never allow it, understanding it would be a PR nightmare. “Whites for Trump” would draw sewer dwellers, instead of the nice, seemingly normal people that came out for Harris. The Vance pick has only reinforced this message, with the signal that the Trump campaign is standing with the most dysfunctional and least sympathetic whites. Most whites do not feel like they have much in common with overweight Appalachians blaming China for taking their jobs when they’re too lazy and dysfunctional to just move to a region with more opportunity, which every generation of Americans has managed to do since the founding. Vance’s comments that we’ll pay any price as long as one American gets to make toasters communicates how the GOP ticket is running to represent the truly hopeless.

All of this contributes to the overall message that Democrats are not the anti-white party. They’re the party of the civilized half of the white race, the ones who believe in science and reject conspiracy theories. The whites who aspire to do something other than make a toaster, complain about immigrants, and investigate the miscarriages of strangers.

We can now all see the hopelessness and stupidity of white nationalism, which wants to argue that the 220 million American whites who are at each other’s throats over social issues and values should unite under one umbrella because they share the same interests. The only way white identitarianism would have had any hope is if liberalism stayed in summer of Floyd mode indefinitely, where you push anti-white rhetoric so blatantly and aggressively that it causes a natural reaction.

Whites for Kamala completely defuses any hope of building a broad white identitarian coalition. It exposes white nationalism, whether explicit or the implicit kind taking over the right, as at bottom a movement for *maladjusted whites* most of their betters want nothing to do with. 

The thing about Republicans ruining Thanksgiving dinner hits home, because most whites who have achieved some level of success in life, or at least aspire to do so, have aggressively stupid catturd-type relatives they want to avoid. They define themselves in opposition to such people.

This is how the left wins.

This. Anyone involved with an MLM should be sent to prison, not made VP. I’ll allow Kelly to keep his senate seat, but that’s as far as he should go unless he promises he’s learned his lesson and commits to making MLMs illegal and also eliminating car dealerships. Because that’d show real commitment to destroying the real base of the Republican party.

Why is it that successful foreigners who benefit so mightily from the American political and economic system seem to hate others who try to get the same bite at the apple?

Nativist poors or disaffected whites I can kind of understand. Don’t agree. But I can at least sort of get their beef.

Rupert Murdoch or Elon Musk try to parade as champions of America yet they fail to truly understand what it’s truly about. America isn’t so much a place, an economy, or a single people. It’s more than the sum of its parts. It never lives up to its promise, yet remains an example. It’s repressive and liberating. It’s an idea and a place. It has no one ethnic identity but is made of a single people.

Once when they get that, can they start telling us what Americans should know or think. 

America is where I can listen to a Tribe Called Quest sing over Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed for a Korean Samsung advert during the Olympics.  And if you don't understand what Walk on the Wild Side represents as nobody in America seemingly complains that hears the commercial does, then fuck right off. It aint broken.

Define "like." I agree with <some> of it. I find it more shocking than likeable. In my mind Hanania is a huge part of the gqp's pro-racism think-tank along with Posobiec and a couple others. I find it shocking in more than one way, probably mostly that he's slapping around JD and that he doesn't have a proposed solution for how Drumpf gets out of the corner he's in. 

edit - compare Hanania to this crap. I didn't realize there was any gulf at all between these imbeciles.

FWIW, I consider Shacklee a pretty weakassed MLM. They make a pretty good fiber pill that results in satisfying bowel movements. If only the GQP had a history of giving power to completely unqualified scions of Amway. Or private Militias.

I agree but "Butty Gay" is just the sort of thing our dumbass electorate would sink him on.  If he had a regular name I'd be way less concerned.
