US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

also, thanks to current events/the wire/commentary for explaining what it means when the boss insists nobody take notes, and what it means when the boss tells a mark "talk to (fixer guy name), talk to him" over and over.

Also, 'reasonable' conservatism is mostly that the rich should have all the money and everyone else should suffer and die, and that message isn't really that popular.

Do you know many poor white Americans? Cause they LOVE that message.

poor white americans have this fantasy that someday they're going to get rich too, though they're fuzzy on the details of how it might happen

keep brown ppl from getting rich first iirc

They're happy to take a sock on the arm as long as people of color get a broken jaw, and there are tens of millions of those fuckers out there.

it's going to be so amazing when Trump throws Don Jr under the bus:


The White House tried to distance the president from his son’s actions, despite Trump's repeated calls for the whistleblower’s identity to be revealed.

The White House told reporter Yashar Ali that neither “the president nor any senior administration official was aware in advance that the president’s eldest son was going to tweet out the name of the alleged whistleblower.”

A defiant Don Jr. told Ali that the “outrage” over his outing of the purported whistleblower was “BS.”

maybe next time, Kendall Roy.

i ordered some pizza earlier. in fact, i ordered the pizza and demanded that my pizza arrive quickly on social media for the next 30 minutes. i tagged everyone i could think of.
and now you're telling me that the delivery person, who is also my son, is gonna show up at MY house, with the pizza **I** ordered, in 30 minutes? after i directly messaged my son and asked him to bring me my pizza that i ordered?

it goes without saying that i am distancing myself from my son's actions

He hardly even knows Don Jr.

I've said it before and again, going back up to poor white people.

My dad had multiple strokes and barely talks now. he can no longer work. He has gone bankrupt twice in the last 11 years, can barely afford his rent, and without me and my brother, he and my mother would likely be on their asses.

and after a very quiet afternoon where he hadn't spoken much, he saw a homeless person in the street and managed to say the first thing he said in over an hour, without stammering - "get a job!". and he complained about freeloaders, which sitting next to me, with zero sense of irony.

I love the man but he epitomizes the whole "I identify with rich folk so I am one even though I'm not" white person. my mother, on the other hand, has gotten fairly woke.

oh that is heartbreaking pathology

also sorry neanderthal

thank you. It especially stung because they have been coming to me for money since I was 18, not due to circumstances (both were always gainfully employed with decent paying jobs), but buying things they couldn't afford, living above their means, etc. so that now, when they have a legitimate reason tehy're struggling, they have no safety net.

to go through all that and still bite his thumb at homeless people really pisses me off.

wtf w this nonsense, they're more interested in a Constitutional legal argument being resolved than in whether or not Bolton actually testifies? Does he want to testify or not jfc

An attorney for former national security adviser John Bolton and former deputy national security adviser Charles Kupperman said Friday he is "dismayed" that his clients will not be be compelled to testify in the ongoing House impeachment inquiry after lawmakers declined to issue subpoenas.

Charles J. Cooper, whose clients declined to testify voluntarily, wrote in a letter to House General Counsel Douglas Letter obtained by The Hill that he had hoped to determine in court whether House subpoenas to testify or the White House's assertion of executive privilege took precedence.

"We are dismayed that the Committees have chosen not to join us in seeking resolution from the Judicial Branch of this momentous Constitutional question as expeditiously as possible," Cooper wrote. "It is important both to Dr. Kupperman and to Ambassador Bolton to get a definitive judgment from the Judicial Branch determining their Constitutional duty in the face of conflicting demands of the Legislative and Executive Branches."

"Dr. Kupperman stands ready, as does Ambassador Bolton, to testify if the Judiciary resolves the conflict in favor of the Legislative Branch’s position respecting such testimony," he added.

House Democrats had scheduled Bolton to appear on Thursday, but said they wouldn't issue him a subpoena after he declined to appear.

"Mr. Bolton would take us to court if we subpoenaed him," a House Intelligence Committee official said in a statement.

bolton likely actually believes unitary executive bullshit and while he respects rules enough to preserve his freedom, i imagine he would likely prefer both to avoid testifying and to have this type of executive privilege to be created/blessed by courts.

WmC otm

i know so many of these people in real life it's stupefying

yeah, the NYT has a similar article with this quote:

"House Democrats have argued that ongoing court proceedings to compel Donald F. McGahn II, the president’s former White House counsel, to testify on other matters should guide Mr. Bolton and Mr. Kupperman. But Mr. Cooper said any final judgment on Mr. McGahn would still not answer the question about whether his clients should testify because they would be asked about national security matters in a way that Mr. McGahn would not be."

Ned Price is speculating that all of this may have more to do with Bolton's book deal than with impeachment (I'm not sure how exactly)

I only got on that subject because I wanted to counteract Fred B's self-assured and very wrong notions about what messages are and aren't popular in America.

I'm not going to watch the video and imagine it's some kind of Aristocrats type of abasement and that they wind up dead at the end of the video

ahahahha he's doing a "BLACKS FOR TRUMP" event today no wonder this is happening

I admit I feel some hesitancy to clown teens on twitter

Ah yes, Fred and Ethel Black

this is all so much worse than when we besmirched Tony Levin's good name and quality mustache on this thread so many months ago

interesting strategy

Ben Carson says that today, people tell black conservatives that they're bad people. He says this is like "the days of slavery," when "they told the ones in the house you're better than the ones in the yard and the ones in the yard, 'you're better than the ones in the field.'"

good kid, maga city

is there a MAGA rap scene? beyond Kanye?

there's a bunch of stuff on RYM with a sub-1.00 rating that would qualify

which will probably include Kanye very soon if trends continue

My name is Trump Train and I'm here to say
I like Trump in a major way
Fruity pebbles

I hereby retract my flippant, off-hand drive-by comment about the mustache of Tony Levin. And I apologize for the pain I have caused to the fretless bass community and to any and all Walrus-Americans.

Our country's like an empty cup
Ready for the people to rise on up
Lock and load while the bombs explode
Deep state comin' for ya down the road
Wave your flag, red, white and blue
Use ya mind like Roy laRoux
Build the wall, just stand tall
Better not kneel before ya throw the ball

Clinton, Soros, Podesta too
Stole our country in one fell swoop
Don't listen to the MSM
Look around, who's funding them?
Where we go one, we go all
The government is due for an overhaul
Roy laRoux, just ask the Q
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

- Roy St. Charlemagne la Roux, 2019

what the fuck is going on??

Look around, who's funding them?

Uh, George Soros is funding George Soros. He doesn't even pretend to hide it.

I’m about 10 minutes from taking an edible and going to the Atl convention center and checking this out.

how does Tim Heidecker keep predicting the future, this was literally one day ago

Someone far more observant than I am pointed out the "studio" performances with Axiom & Tim are CGI'd to appear like they're filming on the InfoWars set

Tech companies’ conflicting strategies over whistleblower doxxing are ... interesting. Been a huge shift in how the industry handles this stuff.

I read Neanderthal’s story upthread yesterday and I’m still agitated by it.
I honestly don’t know how you didn’t explode at him right off the bat, the hypocrisy is so jarring.
