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.

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated. I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris. I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

Gravity's Rainbow Notes Franz Pokler

From pp 397-433: Franz Pokler , a German rocket scientist. He is marginally associated with early attempts to develop rockets in the 1920's. During the war, Weissmann controls Pokler, giving him routine assignments and keeping him in line by allowing him yearly visits from a girl who he says is Pokler's daughter. The girl spends the rest of the year in a concentration camp, and Weissmann's implied threat is that she will be killed if Pokler fails to cooperate with Weissmann's scheme. Weissmann's purpose is to use Pokler to make one small part for the A4 rocket. In the end, having performed his task, Pokler is released; Slothrop meets him living quietly in the ruins of a children's village after the end of the war. His daughter also survives.
