Can we start calling "guillotining" someone a french cut or a French haircut? I was thinking about the guy who paid for the student's loans, Robert Smith, and that's a nice thing and all but he still deserves a french cut.

For me, I think it was the Apprentice, the fact he was doing that show to me made it clear he was just a clown. My earliest memory of the Trump name was standing outside his tower and looking up while on a vacation to NYC (this would have been....87? 88? Something like that) and I remember one of my parents saying something about how trump was a self made man and a great businessman. This was "common knowledge" back then. That facade was completely blown out of the water when he went belly up in the 90's. Then he started doing Pizza Hut commercials and selling steaks which cemented himself in my mind as a huckster and a fraud. I never watched a single episode of The Apprentice because his whole schtick was obnoxious to me. My guess is most of the people who support him now have no idea about what he did pre-Apprentice, only that he must be a great businessman because he has a tower in NYC named after him.

Unkempt posted:Holy poo poo Kelseyville should probably change its name because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Island_massacre Nah. They changed the name to that almost 50 years after the massacre, it’s in honor of it lol. The California Genocide was nuts. I don’t know how long it’d been there but the marker placed on the land by the Sons of the Golden West had red paint splattered all over it when I was there a few days ago (rightly so, as it calls it a battle. Bayonetting children isn’t a battle). The parks service marker along 20 does a better job. I wouldn’t say it’s for everyone but the history of the area is very interesting and good to know. Plus whoever is being placed near there can be beside a volcano put at extreme risk by usgs. That said Konocti is very pretty. Peacoffee fucked around with this message at 02:24 on May 20, 2019 |

"L.A. County juvenile halls are so chaotic, officers are afraid to come to work" "The 'chaos' in Sylmar is far from an anomaly. Officers have long argued that their workplaces are becoming more violent — and data backs that up. But internal reports and photographs obtained by The Times show just how dangerous and dysfunctional Los Angeles County’s youth detention operation has become." https://www.latimes.com/local/countygovernment/la-me-juvenile-halls-chaos-pepper-spray-detention-probation-20190519-story.html Be sad for the "detention officers," I guess.

Chris has gotten genuinely angry any time someone suggested Trump may be actually a lovely guy or bigoted or whatever, including getting downright emotional when Shep very weakly said that maybe the guy who sent pipe bombs to Trump's enemies, who had a van covered in Trump bullshit, may have been inspired by Trump's rhetoric because he intentionally creates these all powerful evil enemies out of anyone he dislikes. Brit has spent the last two years simpering and making any excuse he could for Trump while asking anyone to the left of The Ghost of Ronald Reagan 'hmmm but isn't it true you're a dirty commie who hates America?' It figures they only now care about his rhetoric when it hits them. I hope they all become a fresh target for CHUD Rage, it'll be funny as gently caress.

"The Week" is disturbed: "Why white supremacist terrorism is surging" "This year, there's been a horrifying spate of killings driven by racial and anti-Semitic hate. In February, prosecutors said, a white Coast Guard lieutenant in Maryland stockpiled an arsenal of weapons and researched how to get access to Democratic lawmakers, liberal Supreme Court justices, and TV journalists; the alleged perpetrator had also done an internet search for "white homeland" and "when are whites going to wake up." In April, the 21-year-old son of a deputy sheriff was charged with burning down three black churches in Louisiana. Later that month, a white man shot up a synagogue in Poway, California, after posting a manifesto online that said "Every Jew is responsible for the meticulously planned genocide of the European race." He cited as among his inspirations the white supremacist who in March killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand. President Trump has downplayed white supremacist killing sprees as the work of a few bad apples — "a small group of people." But the FBI says otherwise, announcing last week that it has 850 ongoing investigations into possible domestic terrorists, including both anti-government and white supremacist individuals and groups." https://theweek.com/articles/841846/why-white-supremacist-terrorism-surging

fool_of_sound posted:No more arguing about if you should or shouldn't vote democratic or third party or whatever. It never goes anywhere. You can still criticize or defend dems, but don't argue about how to vote. I mean this is at least progress. Last year you couldn't even criticize the Democratic Party in any way here because "that discussion never goes anywhere". History proved that that was a wise and insightful decision on the part of our moderators, and I'm certain this attempt to appease the same group of entitled prats will work even better!

"China Is Not the Problem. Capitalism Is." "C. S. Lewis said that people become friends because “they see the same truth.” On a recent episode of CNBC’s Squawk Box Tom Friedman and Steve Bannon looked downright chummy defending President Trump’s recent decision to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports. Perhaps this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." https://jacobinmag.com/2019/05/china-is-not-the-problem-capitalism-is Bannon continues to creep out from between the floorboards. Friedman offers food.

This dude is such an stereotype of basing his entire life on his taste in porn that you’d get told to rewrite him as a textbook example. Oh, word, he’s racist and misogynistic, fetishizes his personal racist target enough to impregnate “one of the good ones”, and doesn’t apply any reflection whatsoever on his actions? Next thing you’ll be telling me he’s physically abusive to her and his kid and is too afraid of touching his own rear end in a top hat to wipe properly.
