dissembling rodeo clowns

The Republican reason for allowing policies that kill thousands of people, is that people are responsible for themselves, not government. People kill people with no help from gun manufacturers, or society in any important way.

Then the riposte about mental health after gun shootings is a ironic comment because they don’t believe in the larger forces. They think you might. And it’s untrue about mental health and mass shootings. Domestic violence is more of a correlate, but that’s not an issue for them. They are about unblocking individual freedom, not trying to curb negatives.

Trump’s playbook. Whatever accusation is made, just invert.

Koch brothers developing political playbook to distract from their own malfeasance.

So political discourse with a republican is just rodeo clowning.

No wonder records of Republicans are retiring this year.

Held accountable by the press? Fake news. Trumpian script flipping. One reason why Kamala Harris would be a good candidate. She would own that fucker’s bullshit. You really think you’re pro-life? Seems pretty anti-life to me. Douche canoe dissembling fuckery.

It's like vegetarians becoming butchers.

Manet and Degas

Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special. In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them.

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France. Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder ho...
