Next week I'm having lunch with cousins who were there today. I would have been with them if I could walk for more than half a mile without my hips giving out.

I cannot believe anyone who has two brain cells and can rub them together and get a small spark voted for the poor excuse we have as POTUS. What an embarrassment he is to this country and to any thinking people. And I'm especially disappointed in anyone without a Y chromosome who voted for the sexist pig. Clearly they don't get they he could not care less about them unless they are gorgeous, under 35 and willing so give him a blow job. Of course, maybe it's just that I've heard stories about how he conducts business first-hand, about how the "Trump Tax" works in NY and NJ, and how no real business leaders in NY take him seriously. He is veneer, nothing more.

Poor, poor Chris Cantwell, boo fucking hoo.

While I'm at it, if you have to wear a mask to hide your identity, you aren't there to make a point, you're there being a jerk.

Those people in Antifa can kiss my ass too. Anarchy isn't the answer, it leads to the bullies being able to take over, and isn't that what the KKK and Nazis want too? Your tactics are the same as the people you claim to be against. Turn your brains on and grow up.

I'm always suspicious of whose side people like that are really on. Like literally.

Anonymity has a role in political action, especially writing, and sometimes is required to keep from getting killed or at least becoming a political prisoner, but if you're out marching for something and especially if you're out causing Mayhem, your masking is indicative of your intent.

Which reminds me, how Despicable it is of the doj to try to get that provider to turn over the identities of 1.3 million visitors to a website they host? Of course they're trying to get everything about how we vote as well, so maybe we're just getting our first glimpses of what's coming.

47104. arkymalarky - 8/20/2017 4:36:28 PM

And is funny for those people who went without masks and Charlottesville to see them suddenly be embarrassed about their actions. See, guys, you wear a mask when you don't want consequences of your behavior. You don't wear a mask when you are ready to deal with whatever comes your way as a result of your behavior. As per wabbit's link above.

And these snowflakes are trying to complain they're being doxxed. Somebody needs to explain to them what doxxing is as well. Being in a public March and being identified is not being doxxed.

Love. This. Guy.

Trae Crowder: Virginia is for Lovers, not Nazis

Going to get tickets to the WellRED comedy tour today. I kno nothing about the two other guys, but I'm very excited to see TC live.

Sounds like it's going to be a fun event. Stan likes a guy from around here named Ralphie May.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/08/from_forsyth_county_to_charlottesville_things_never_change.html

The subheading of that article says it all. I've seen that first hand over the last forty or so years.

Message # 47103

DOJ v. Dreamhost, wabbit's version: in support of Dreamhost, I just moved the fr'archive to their service not ten minutes ago.

47109. arkymalarky - 8/20/2017 7:34:00 PM

Yay!

I am so sick of pundits like Chuck Todd repeatedly saying Trump's base is going to stick with him. What does that have to do with anything? The people who voted for him are abandoning him except for his base. His base is not relevant to anything. Nobody's base is. I'm sure David Dukes base is still with him.

47111. arkymalarky - 8/20/2017 10:02:02 PM

Another thing that's irritating the hell out of me is the low poll numbers reflected in the three states Trump won that Hillary was favored to win, people are saying well he had low numbers when he won. Number one low 40s is not the same as mid-thirties. Two, he's not running against Hillary anymore; his poll numbers he's getting all on his lonesome. Hillary's poll numbers were low too and that's what made her so squishy at the end and then Comey just thumped her over the edge.

In case anybody who is interested in "Russian Collusion" from Washington missed the news:

August 19, 2017 -- NY POST: IT Staffers May Have Compromised Sensitive Data to Foreign Intelligence

"Federal authorities are investigating whether sensitive data was stolen from congressional offices by several Pakistani-American tech staffers and sold to Pakistani or Russian intelligence, knowledgeable sources say.

"...Investigators now suspect that sensitive US government data — possibly including classified information — could have been compromised and may have been sold to hostile foreign governments that could use it to blackmail members of Congress or even put their lives at risk.

“This is a massive, massive scandal,” a senior US official familiar with the widening probe told The Post."

47113. Ms. No - 8/23/2017 3:44:57 AM

Yeah, nope. That reporter is foaming-at-the-mouth Dem-Hillary-Muslim conspiracy theorist. He has a consistent practice of naming no sources, laying thick the innuendo, and glossing over facts that don't support his narrative.

There's a reason the front of the NY Post looks like the National Enquirer.

I knew I caught a whiff of desperation. Breathing it in, so refreshing!

Daily Mail on Imran Awan investigation

"Imran also had exclusive password access to the iPhone and iPad used by Wasserman Schultz last May while she was running the Democratic National Committee, according to internal emails.

"Thousands of these private DNC emails were published by Wikileaks last summer. The DNC and U.S. intelligence agencies believe the emails were stolen by Russian hackers, but Wikileaks claims it received them from an inside leaker...

"...There are possibilities that [Imran] or them might have been selling this information to anybody who is not authorized to have them. For the sake of money they would have done anything,' he added."

47116. Trillium - 8/24/2017 11:33:43 PM

"Imran, a naturalized citizen who was born in Faisalabad and raised in the U.S., started working as a computer administrator on Capitol Hill in 2005 after getting hired by Reps. Robert Wexler and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

"He later helped his wife Hina Alvi; his brothers Abid and Jamal; his friend Rao Abbas; and Abid's wife Natalia Sova all get IT jobs for members of congress.

"It was a lucrative enterprise: public records show that between 2009 and 2017 the Awans took home a total of over $4 million from taxpayers.

"They also had access to emails and computer files from Democratic members of Congress and their staffers, including three members of the House Intelligence Committee and five members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee."

GORKA OUT

Hey trill, don't you have a link from the National Enquirer too? So desperate and pathetic. So sad.

Winston,
The trifecta will be complete with Stephen Miller, and then they will hem Trump in until Mueller gets him. And that's moving faster than I think pretty much anyone expected. Now that Trump knows that he can pardon a criminal pretty easily, he needs to think of ramifications, one of which is that pardoned people can't plead the fifth when they testify.

It's going to be interesting to see how Republicans handle him between now and 2018, because the power he holds over them is the power to primary, which he's already using, and with what's left of the Republican party will probably work. If Democrats can't capitalize on this, they can't capitalize on anything. The Nut Job who's primarying Flake is quite the piece of work. It says a lot that McConnell is spending his pac money to run ads against these crazies.

Come on, let's see an Enquirer link. Inquiring minds Arky and Msno want to know!
