The Isolated Political Blurt Thread

[gotsnowgotslush]

zumi, the Boston Globe just outed a Boston area resident, as someone that attended the Nazi citronella torch procession on University of North Carolina campus.

The paper published everything that was known about him. Nazi, or not, he is now regretting his decisions.

A woman shared several live videos of the event, she was among the protesters (against the White Supremacists that invaded the campus) who said they were hit with the mace spray. “[They] completely surrounded us and wouldn’t let us out.”

She said police did not intervene until long after the rightwing marchers had struck out at protesters. “I saw hundreds of people chanting Nazi slogans and police do nothing.”

"Someone from the alt right maced me right in the face – unprovoked,” said one. “After they maced people they started punching people and hitting them with torches.” Several protesters said a woman using a wheelchair was among those sprayed.

Why am I reading all of these articles on Charlottesville ? I do know what- the- fuck has been invited into Boston, or what is inviting itself into Boston.



City Issues Permit For 'Free Speech Rally' On Boston Common

August 16, 2017

John Medlar (Libertarian ?) member of Free Speech Coalition, said his coalition is concerned about what he called radical fringe groups from both the left and right. And he said canceling his group's rally now would be unsafe.

"If we weren't there to direct things, to keep out the fringe radical groups that we're worried about trying to disrupt things, then we're worried that that would only be all the more dangerous," he said.

Boston City officials are expecting counter-demonstrators on Saturday.

Medlar is not the one, that is worried about Boston, the city that he lives in...

Boston City officials are expecting counter-demonstrators on Saturday.

Protests and counter-protests are fine -- as long as everyone leaves at home their clubs, torches, assault rifles, mace, etc.

Shouting is speech. Chanting is speech. A mass of openly armed guys shouting at a synagogue are practicing terror, not speech. Shoot the fuckers.

The one person, that has the permit for the Boston Public Park band stand dome, did not show up.

Boston police said, "No permit, no entrance."

What if the permit never arrives ? What if it left town ?

Fake News: It’s Mostly a Right-Wing Phenomenon

*sigh*

The twerp that caused Boston to spend money it does not have, playing nanny to White Supremacists, is threatening to try again.

http://news.wgbh.org/2017/08/21/loc...anizer-john-medlar-criticizes-rally-setup-and


Wahhh, the twerp cried.

No one could hear us!

Wahhhhh, the twerp cried.

We do not like how we were rescued, or the accommodations.

If he wants to be treated like a rock star, perhaps he should put on a show that is on a rock star level.

As it was, someone could have used the space for a Diversity Fair, and filled up all of the space he took, with music, crafts, booths, food, and happy people sharing.

Instead, less than a hundred twerps and assorted arseholes were witness to how many people did not want them there.

Fact-

According to the group's permit for the event, the group could have used a battery-powered amplifier, but there was no amplifier Saturday.

http://news.wgbh.org/2017/08/21/loc...anizer-john-medlar-criticizes-rally-setup-and

40,000 people attended the event to protest the twerp and his White Supremacist pals.

We could have had Jake Sullivan, as an advisor to a sane president.

But, no.

The sane, responsible, and good hearted Republicans must be asking themselves many questions.

 

[Hypoxia]

The sane, responsible, and good hearted Republicans must be asking themselves many questions.

Like, "Which way to the oven?" and "Do you have a loaded pistol?" and "Would you hold that window open for me?"

My sister-in-law, a wealthy Trumper and former VERY senior financial exec, is asking, "What the fuck do I do now?" She wants to move to Las Vegas from our remote mountain hamlet. She spent two million bucks building a McMansion here ten years ago. (We've family nearby.) To move, she must sell. Since Tromp took office she's reduced the asking price down to $1.3 mil. She says he's already cost her $700k. She'll have to win many blackjack tournaments to make that up.

I'd thought to snarkly remark on your "sane, responsible, and good hearted Republicans" quip but hey, not all of Tromp's suckers are bad people. Your cadre are not extinct. But they're certainly discombobulated. These be troubling times for traditional small-gov't free-trade patriotic conservatives.

Snopes!

What will snopes say, now that the megachurch is open ?
(Is it open, or is that another rumor ?)

Joel Osteen

"Dear Houstonians! Lakewood Church is inaccessible due to severe flooding!"

Fact check-

A map of the area surrounding the church shows it is under a flood advisory, but not a warning. (Houston police told us that they have no pending calls from the area.)

No flooding ?
Road is not flooded ?
Cars parked nearby?
Lovely green lawn and trees are fine ?

There are many groups soliciting funds to help with the area. Make sure the group is legitimate and that any money you send will actually be used for the purpose stated.

Evil stalks the halls

It's almost nothing new. USA politics have been corrupt, violent, lying, shameless since day one. USA gov't started violating the constitution almost as soon as the ink was dry. USA pols have regularly bribed, drugged, intimidated, and brainwashed voters, as well as beating and killing each other. Critics have long despaired over our shitty meta-system.

Is Tromp an aberration, or merely more of the same?

All of those charities that decided that Trump hotels were not suitable for charity fund raisers (associated with Trump's support for racism, bigotry, the KKK and Neo Nazis) ?

They will be talking out of the other sides of their faces- Putting more money in Trump's hands (Trump's golf resort ball rooms, dining halls) in order to win that Money!

So much, for refusing to wade in filth, refusing to trade in obscenity, and respecting all Americans. Who will cave, first ?

For Trump, the cancellations will mean a significant loss of income, unless the staff at Mar-a-Lago finds new customers who want to book a 20,000-square-foot ballroom embellished with 24-karat gold leafing, modeled, as Trump told Florida Design magazine, after Versailles.

North Korea re-awakens a deep disturbance.

Novelists, artists, and film makers have buried fears and phobias in their works. They pop up, into full relief,for me. The recognition is startling.

This happened before I was born, and the impression and emotion of it, persists.

Clue about Trump-

He wants to distance himself from his past.

He wants to distance himself from yesterday!

He wants to distance himself, from himself ?

This points to Trump's disability-

He trained himself to perform an "act."

He has been repeating the same performance, all of his life.

Now, he is at the end of his life.
