    One wouldn’t expect Seymour Hersh, a lefty journalist par excellance, to pop the Trump-Russia propaganda balloon Obama’s CIA director John Brennan released last year. But he has. Hersh has been quoted as saying that the collusion claim is a product of “disinformation” — “a Brennan operation,” as he puts it.

    Wolf:

    Just watched your interview with Senator Blumenthal when you mentioned that you lost all four of your grandparents to the unspeakable evil of Nazism. I just want to extend my sympathies not only for their deaths but also to you and your family--and countless others--for the pain inflicted today by the despicable words of Donald Trump. Mr. Trump's words, and the beliefs they reflect, are a national disgrace, and all Americans of conscience need to repudiate his ugly and dangerous comments. If allowed to continue along this senseless path, Mr. Trump will do lasting harm to American society and to our standing in the world. By his words and his actions, Mr. Trump is putting our national security and our collective futures at grave risk.

    There is a mini battle royale going on in the Porch between RVM and Black.  If this version of RVM doesn't sway there is no hope.  You can just see the fed upness that those fucking glowing bulbs were not what Pearl Jam wants.
    Start at 123:20.  From then on in you can just tell that PJ is done putting up with the man and the gimmicks.

    I was thinking yesterday.........can you imagine how this will all be looked back on in 20 or 50 years? will it be downplayed, or will it be looked at as we look at it now.......a total clusterfuck?
    well, i thought it could never get more out of control than Bush, but here we are.  10-15 years from now, those of us who survive nuclear holocaust, might look back at the Trump era as a 'happier' time.

  • So this is the team of the Trump winery in VA. If you are planning a stay there bring money.  It's not cheap. The rooms look nice though.

    I would never give my money to that asshole's companies. 

    If you were granted an all expense paid trip on a private jet for you and as many guests that the plane could accommodate to be flown to a Trump resort and a stay at the penthouse would you refuse?

    A Trump Penthouse would be garish and remind me of Arod and his portrait of him as a stag in his bedroom with Madonna. I have scruples so no fucking way and regardless of who's paying, I wouldn't want my name attached in any way, shape or form with supporting that dispicable excuse of a human.

    guess who?
    There are not many sides. We must always fight facism and racism, oppose evil, and defend liberty and justice for all. #Charlottesville

    Perhaps it explains how the young and disaffected get drawn to this.  I have a crap car,  crap job and can't get laid.  It must be someone else's fault.

    The experts say this is how so many young men around the world get recruited to be radical Islamic terrorists.
    Interestingly.... humans appear to be afflicted by the same human nature regardless of color or creed.   Who knew??

    Radicalization.

    I went to a fascinating talk on radicalization a few months ago and took a few notes on my phone. Doesn't matter if we are talking about being radicalized to be a terrorist or a gang member, the process and key points remain the same.

    My notes, cryptic as they are, include the following points:

    Ideology instead of identity (i.e. individuals without a strong personal identity gravitate to ideology to give it to them)
    Certainty (i.e. there's no room for wishy-washyness; it's always reinforced that the cause is right)
    Your actions matter (even if in the rest of your life you're a loser)
    Fight the good fight (even if you go down, your life has been worth it)
    Revenge/justice (for perceived personal loss of humiliation)
    Redemption - clean the slate (if you have screwed up in the rest of your life, this makes you whole and worthy again)
    Romanticism - the heroic sacrifice
    Mortality salience - when reminded of your mortality you more strongly defend your beliefs (i.e. if you are taking risks, human nature wants the cause to be worth it, so merely taking the risks reinforces your idea that your cause is just).

    Trump’s embattled strategist phones me, unbidden, to opine on China, Korea, and his enemies in the administration.

    “The Democrats,” he said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”

    So according to the New Yorker article in the August 21st issue titled, "No Questions Asked," Trump was awarded the Georgian Order of Brilliance by then President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili while endorsing a Trump branded project in April, 2012. Well, at least I know where our resident professor plagerized the term and could honestly use the term "brilliance" in association with Trump. Brilliant brilliance brilliantly exposing the tangled web Trump weaves.
