Well, the media and the people who are rioting because they're being forced out into the water in kayaks. Also Jaws is multiplying and more sharks show up every day.

The vast majority of people recover from sharks, ok. I don't even know anyone who's been bit by a shark. And anyway, we all have to die eventually, it might as well be by shark while at the beach.

It's just antifa biting themselves and saying sharks did it. Also sending sharks to conservative communities.

Also the mayor and Trump are both in deep with the mob (in the book it's why he wants to keep the beaches open).

I know the film excised certain elements that dragged it down (like Hooper's affair with Ellen Brody) but having the Mayor mobbed up makes the connection even more apt then my son even realizes. I like to hammer on my RWM listening friends how odd it is that we never get a look at Trump's tax returns 4 years in and all they seem to have to say is "he doesn't have to legally release them" but never really addresses why he won't/hasn't. And, yeah, we all know it's Russian mob money stuff.

BiggerBoat posted:I read that book as a kid but don't remember that. He's being audited. Every day for four years straight. As the president, the head of the executive branch. For those playing the home game each of those points is total, absolute, bullshit start to finish. An audit doesn't prevent him from releasing the records he has, at all. Audits are also not eternal, that is bullshit. He also won the election with that lie, and now he could tell the IRS to do it any minute he ever wanted. Those facts, however, are just for the education of the thread. Those facts are completely useless out in reality because it's not a legal/factual argument being made. This is another piece of fascistic gaslighting. It's the bully that stole your hat and is wearing it saying "I don't see any hat. Do you guys see a hat on my head? Well looks like you're just wrong nobody believes you. What are you going to do about it?"

So, um....I just took my son to McDonald's and they had a TV in the back playing FOX News. The Chryon read "Trump Re-tweets video of person yelling "White Power" at Protestor" Knowing FOX, I was trying to figure out how this could be a good thing for Trump and I don't know the story behind it but it also wouldn't shock me if Donald just went full on with it at this stage. *Googles* So now we're here apparently https://www.npr.org/sections/live-u...ing-white-power quote:A video shared by President Trump on Twitter Sunday includes a man who appears to be a Trump supporter saying "white power" in response to protesters. So I guess FOX was reporting it as protesters loving with a bunch of innocent old white people who gave back as good as good as they got (?). but, still, that crawl stopped me in my tracks. Also drove by some tents/booths hawking Trump merch near my grocery store and considered stopping to passive aggressively gently caress with them but I had my kid with me and don't need the trouble. Had a joke locked and loaded about how the store was out of TP so can I please buy a shirt but thought better of it. Wall to wall American flags of course, which seems to be all these idiots think they need to do to be Real Americans. For a second, I thought it was a fireworks stand, which would have made more sense - and for all I know it was - but just

Sunday Fox is mostly firmly in the "News Department" wing of the channel so they often have a foot in reality. They're the reason Trump hates Fox News now when his sycophants in the "Editorial Department" aren't on air.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:I envy you for having a little piece of your soul that is still capable of being shocked. I wouldn’t have even blinked. I was more shocked by the news crawl/caption that FOX ran than I was the Freedom Fireworks/lovely Merch Made in China/America Booth that I drove by. Don't envy me at all. I'm 98% of the way towards being completely broken and taking up a heroin habit just to ease the pain and soothe my sense of hopelessness. I'm kidding and being hyperbolic but... To be perfectly clear, not much at all shocks me anymore in light of DJT's rigid and disturbingly stubborn 40% approval rating and all the strange cult like behavior I witness from his followers. There doesn't seem to be any real breaking point with this dumb dumb where people reflect on what's happening and go "yeah...I dunno about this idiot" and the weird worship he gets from so called christians is perhaps the most troubling aspect of the whole thing to me. You'd think there'd be some stage of this poo poo show where even 5 or 10% of the die hards had the basic common sense to be even a little bit embarrassed and admit some level of wrong headedness or bad judgement somewhere along the loving way, given how off the rails and crazy the GOP is. But it never happens and they've doubled down so many times I can't even run those levels of exponential numbers to try and figure out where reason lies. You'd think at least ONE RWM pundit would be all "seriously? this is what we stand for?" but there seems to be no shortage of shills that Want Money lining up to take the place of anyone who might try that (having a conscious), and they'll cast aside their ilk to the trash heap of forgotten memories quite fast, as we've seen over and over (Palin, McCain, Sessions, Mattis, Romney, Bush Sr., Arnold, etc.) TL/DR: Don't envy me or misinterpret what I was trying to say. FOX News ran a hard to apologize for or explain away news crawl and that's what surprised me.

Heh. All this only now, when the right wing's accidental hegemony is on the wane. I guess they assume that if Trump wins, the future will be brutal and no amount of boot licking will save them. If Trump doesn't win, then the 4 year nightmare is over and having principles will no longer cost them money.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjDUUU-Z-aI i was listening to this debate between marc lamont hill and *hurls* candace owens. MLH did a pretty good job overall pushing back against candace's dumbness, imo. but there was one part i'd like to know more about. at one point, they're talking about affirmative action, and candace brings up a study by thomas sowell that shows black students that got admitted to ivy league schools did much more poorly while they were taking classes in those schools than white students were. if they went to less presitgious and demanding universities, they would have been fine, but apparently they were "mismatched", she/sowell claims. i feel like, well, with ALL conservatives studies, there may be more to it than what they initially claim. i mean, the thing that i found curious was that, it wasn't like these black students at ivy leagues were FORCED to go to those schools. presumably they chose to apply on their own. and presumably, if they felt they could even apply to such places to begin with, they had a pretty good resume and enough confidence in their abilities to do so. maybe the numbers sowell cited were correct, but there seems to be some more context that is kind of important?

There's probably a lot of social and social capital issues at play. Just, like, imagine how hard it might be finding a mentor or someone to identify with to make the experience easier, for example. There's also the bias that PoC *need* to be flawless wunderkind at prestigious schools, while GW is doing kegstands and coke and his mediocre grades aren't worth thinking about because it's just a holding pattern for the *real* job that X will have lined up for them. I'm a PoC who did terribly my first year at college and it almost dissuaded me from continuing -- 'wow, these people know so much more than I do, I must not belong here.' Anyway Richard Later on, when he's able to get a position as university faculty, some latinx students try to build some commonality and he just. loving. Nukes. Them by going on about how he doesn't "believe" in ethnic studies/minority literature and that academics shouldn't put themselves in ghettos by labeling themselves in such ways.
