SILENCE

quote:

The brother of a San Francisco murder victim slammed presidential hopeful Donald Trump for using his sister’s death as a political platform.

Kate Steinle was gunned down earlier this month by an undocumented immigrant on a popular pier. Since then, the anti-immigration Trump has used her death — and the deaths of other Americans killed by undocumented immigrants — as a political talking point.

But Steinle’s brother, Brad, said Trump hasn’t contacted his family at all as he uses the 32-year-old woman’s death in his “not rational” campaign.

“Donald Trump talks about Kate Steinle like he knows her. I’ve never heard a word from his campaign manager, never heard a word from him,” he told Anderson Cooper on Tuesday. “It’s disconcerting, and I don’t want to be affiliated with somebody who doesn’t have the common courtesy to reach out and ask about Kate and ask about our political views and what we want.”

You were saying, Branco?

You're being intentionally obtuse to pick a fight. I couldn't have been any clearer there.

Except you're referring to "not having stars" for no reason other than you decided that should be the definition of "light pollution" and it's not. You picked one aspect of light pollution in order to discredit the serious effects of light pollution. Now that's being obtuse.

Branco isn't often willfully dense, most of the time he's Just Plain Stupid, but the disingenuousness on this one is so thick you could cut it with a 2x4

Yes, Branco, the Republican Party took down the Confederate flag all on its own, with a smile on its face, having faced absolutely no pressure from individual members of the Democratic Party which might I add is the exact same political entity it was in the 1850s and is also claiming this as a personal victory. That is a 100% accurate read on the situation and not the result of studiously ignoring extremely obvious context at all.

Getting the slightest bit involved in this idiotic argument is probably a bad idea, but it actually does say that, in panel #7 :confused:

Which mentions that a blank slate is all we see of the sky and we have no stars to inspire us?

Which literally uses Starry Night as an example?

Kate Steinle was the San Franciscan woman who was murdered by an illegal immigrant last week. Needless to say, conservatives are using this case as proof that Obama is letting billions of disease-spreading murderers and rapists flood over the southern border.

You may have missed it, but there are actually two main ideas in the cartoon! One is that light pollution is linked to health problems (see panel 7). The author likely got this information from a headline in his Facebook feed.

Now take a look at panels 8-12, and you will see that the author putting forth his own idea that stars are an important source of inspiration and creativity. Since light pollution leads to the disappearance of stars, the first and second ideas are related, but do not necessarily form a causal relationship.

From that Dees article, here's the most important part if anyone doesn't want to read it:

The Mentally Insane David Dees posted:

My setup to work now could not be simpler, all I use is Adobe Photoshop and an Intuos Bamboo Pad and Pen. And my understanding of photoshop is horribly basic—mostly I am just doing fancy layering and airbrush. These pieces average around 100 to 200 layers, and they are just hammered together piece by piece. I see people who do outrageous art on photoshop, and I have not a single clue how it is done. I just do a cut and paste style that any pro can see right through.

I guess where I excel is in my color and compositions, the real meat of an illustration, the ability to tell a story and entertain the viewer. That is my strong point.

I'm sure if you looked hard enough you'd eventually find someone who defended that murderer's action somewhere, but I'm guessing he isn't raking it in with a GoFundMe campaign. Also he was arrested about an hour later, and the SFPD didn't need a massive media outcry to get around to it.
