Don’t count on the democrats to bail your sorry asses out. Only 17 Senate Democrats opposed granting Mad Dog Mattis an exemption from a law that makes it illegal for a recent non-civilian to serve as Defense Secretary. And the only vote against confirming him was from a self-serving corporate shill who wants to run for president by recalling an uninformed Democratic base with her “progressivism” and courage. Only 11 Senate Democrats voted against confirming General John Kelly as Secretary of Homeland Security. Only 8 Senate Democrats were serious in their opposition to torture enthuseiast Mike Pompeo as head of the CIA. And only 4 Senate Dems voted against confirming Nikki Haley as the Ambassador to the UN. (from Down with Tyranny)

In what was perhaps the grandest metaphor of a week’s worth of visiting Republican Party retreat members being literally cornered by protestors wherever they found themselves in downtown Philadelphia — grander still than even the fact that the city deemed to protect the Loews Hotel where they were staying by using trash trucks to block off the streets — a ghost train of sorts was there to carry them off, back to Washington, D.C., this morning. When protestors arrived at 30th Street Station late this morning, to greet the visiting GOP one last time for the week with messages of dissent and resistance to an increasingly aberrant, toxic presidency, they soon realized: None from the party had the courage to enter the station, and take the train that had been chartered on the GOP’s behalf.

For those of you who don’t speak english, that’s chicken-shit.

Oregon’s own Donald T Rump, a trust-funder punk who’s never done a day’s work and doesn’t even live in Oregon makes Republican lawmakers replacement for the Affordable Care Act perfectly clear:

gop-humping_nThe history of the development of the Republican alternative to Obamacare since the beginning of the health-care debate, in 2009, has been an endless loop of loud promises that a full plan will be announced soon, followed by quiet admissions that it will not. Seventeen days ago, Donald Trump promised a vote to repeal the law “probably some time next week” with a vote for a replacement “very quickly or simultaneously, very shortly thereafter.” At a meeting in Philadelphia yesterday, Trump and his House Republican allies produced no agreement on a plan. If there is a consensus, it is that there will be no replacement plan at all.

(Oregon) Representative Greg Walden, a key leader of the House Republican efforts on health care, tells Julie Rovner,

“There is no fix. There is no plan.”

I’ve drawn the conclusion these people are trying to kill me.

calexit-660x330The Sacramento Bee is reporting:

Backers of a proposed constitutional amendment seeking California’s secession from the U.S. can begin collecting voter signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday.

The so-called Calexit movement emerged within days of the upset presidential victory of Republican Donald Trump, who lost California by nearly 4.3 million votes. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that nearly one in three Californians support the state leaving the U.S.
Proponents have until July 25 to collect 585,407 valid voter signatures to qualify for the November 2018 ballot.

The proposed measure would strike language from the California Constitution defining the state as “an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” If it passed, there would be a statewide special election in March 2019 to ask voters if they want California to become an independent country.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists doomsday clock has never been at a greater level of danger than it is today

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced Thursday that the Doomsday Clock now stands at two-and-a-half minutes to midnight, suggesting that existential threats now pose a greater danger to humanity than they have at any time since the height of the Cold War.

The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic warning about how close the world stands to “midnight,” that is, nuclear or existential catastrophe. Since 1947, the Bulletin’s scientists and security experts have updated it annually. Many of the world’s most acclaimed scientists—including Stephen Hawking, Susan Solomon, Lisa Randall, and Freeman Dyson—sponsor, oversee, or consult with the Bulletin.

Don’t be where violence can happen and never turn your back on the police. Portland protests bystander170118_we_the_people_posters_c837b65b72cc4e2e7fe85225eeb413a1-nbcnews-ux-2880-1000-1

In my youth I was, on multiple occasions, tear gassed, fire hosed, bean bagged, horse herded, billy clubbed, jailed, fined, fee-d and run out of town. There’s a reason why I haven’t been to a “protest” since nineteen seventy-two.

Yeah, that’s me in the picture. No stranger to violence. Don’t have to be a Peace Freak to be Against War.

The cybersphere is all abuzz this morning over the question ‘is it okay to punch a NAZI in the face?’

Yes.

250catWe’re talking about NAZIs, who like Confederates are enemies of the American People, enemies of the American Way of Life, who if not taken out back of the barn and summarily executed should be rounded up and escorted to reservations out in the hinterlands. If not Mars or the Moons of Neptune, Antarctica .

Punch their fucking lights out.

To understand Trump’s Brown Shirts you need special glasses.3dglassesThe Rude Pundit:

What you’re calling “elitism” is just simply not being ignorant. We don’t have our heads shoved up Jesus’s ass. And when the left gets angry because of how fucking dumb some of the shit coming out of rural and red mouths is, we’re told we need to understand what they believe. No, we’re just gonna say that stupid is stupid.

You can stop explaining the white working class rural conservative Christian farming folk, hot-takers and self-justifiers. Instead, why don’t you explain liberalism to them? Why don’t you explain that jobs are drying up and communities are dying not because of abortion and same-sex marriage but because of Republican economic policies that have favored the wealthy, most of whom live in cities, including a certain president-elect they voted for who took advantage of those very policies in order to stay rich? Ultimately, though, it won’t matter. Because despite every fucking word to the contrary, the real problem is that those who voted for Trump are racist. They are sexist. They are Islamophobic. They are ignorant.

The whole thrust of these “let’s learn about the yokels” articles is to imply that there are real Americans and there are coastal elites. Sorry, motherfuckers. We’re all Americans. And if I have to suffer under your stupid, you have to hear about our smarts.

Like the white rose, the monopoly fatcat and the retard elephant humpin’ the country, this will be a regular graphic around here.
