Mitt Romney Lays Out the Facts on Donald Trump

On the other hand, if we make improvident choices, the bright horizon I’ve described will not materialize. And let me put it very plainly. If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished. I heard you liked dis tracks.

...a candidate for president of the United States has actually bragged about sexually assaulting women...

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-michelle-obama-trump-20161013-snap-story.html I don’t care your politics. If you have a daughter you might think this is for her, but It’s for your sons too. It’s for boys that live in cultures of toxic masculinity that subscribe them to an omerta of silence around bullying, sexual behavior boundaries, understanding consent…and shames them for not “knowing what to do” and tells them that “real men” get it or take it (which is what women really want anyway). Toss in some Abrahamaic superstition and you have a sauce of self-loathing that you dump in this toxic soup. I had good parents, but toxic culture stunted me in many ways that left real damage that I regret.

Violence and the Way of Trump

There’s a coarsening to our discourse post-Trump. The man has many, many faults. Many of them have been documented in image or sound. It’s reasonable that an ethical conservative publication or being might not support him. Yet his followers, seem to be particularly prone to use violence as a means of silencing. It’s particularly troubling for the future. http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/2016/10/16/publisher-response-to-threats-after-republic-endorsement-clinton-trump/92058964/"

Whither the Conservative Intellectual?

As a former right moderate whose been pushed leftward over the last two decades it hinges on the fact that Republican or Conservative thought leaders, and the party behind it, have been swallowed by their own tumor of Trump-lead authoritarian populism and know-nothingism. https://freebeacon.com/columns/crisis-conservative-intellectual/

Trump Leads Backward

Sunset over America: it’s time for the next superpower Part of the reason I never thought the Rust Belt would take Trump seriously is because of the factors in this article. He can say what he likes but the economics don’t match the reality he promises. The Midwestern hope is COAL? Are you kidding me? Is the future of medicine leeches? This is a “who moved my cheese” moment, we need to scamper and scurry for solutions -not- romanticize past economic performance. Autonomous vehicles, drone repair, more of that. To say this workforce can’t do those jobs is disrespectful and only requires some training centers.

US Propaganda Against Authoritarians

Preservation of the Union

Union memorial in Riverside Park We live near a memorial for the Union armies that fought to preserve it. As we enter a presidency ruled by an authoritarian who thinks nothing of using wedges and grievance to separate, I wonder if we’ll be called to make such sacrifices again…soon.

Seduced and Betrayed by Donald Trump

Krugman: Donald Trump won the Electoral College (though not the popular vote) on the strength of overwhelming support from working-class whites, who feel left behind by a changing economy and society. And they’re about to get their reward — the same reward that, throughout Mr. Trump’s career, has come to everyone who trusted his good intentions. Think Trump University. Yes, the white working class is about to be betrayed. Let’s see where these voters are in four years? Will they be materially better? Or will they be brainwashed and battered into accepting that, absence evidence, they are to think they are better off?

Trump Does Not Prepare for the Future: He Nurses Grievance

http://qz.com/854257/brace-yourself-the-most-disruptive-phase-of-globalization-is-just-beginning/ I said, I couldn’t believe the Trump-for-jobs voters thought this wouldn’t stop after electing him. But this is roughly my model for reality and the future. Fuck, it’s not just going to be White Men who need to face the music that their “right” to a comfortable life is gone. The Human Race is on notice. We can either live with this disquilibrium in wealth distribution with revolution, taxation (secular or religious), or warfare. Every society has dealt with such inequality by one of those few means /only/. Key Quote: “…globalization takes shape in three distinct stages: the ability to move goods, then ideas, and finally people.

Train wreck president After the election I said I’d at least give the man a chance (whether warranted or no). Based on my granting a clean slate, apropos of no-one else and no-thing else, President-Elect Trump is currently showing a dangerous willingness to lie or knowingly promulgate falsehoods. The attached tweet is factually false. Entirely, provably, knowably false. It doesn’t even make common sense! Think about it, as you open Facebook in a browser, your browser has to ASK Facebook for the content, Facebook has to know to whom the content should be routed.

If I’m going to foot the bill, then I want something that works. Based on data from National Review, since “the majority of new illegal aliens are actually visa overstayers,” can’t we just as well not be forced to pay for something that’s not going to fix the problem. It’s like making sure the sails are optimal as a means for fixing a hole in the boat. I suspect this is just the start of Trump failing to deliver what he promised just like he failed to deliver with Trump University, the Taj Mahal Casino, the list goes on and on.

Was Francis Fukuyama the First Man to See Trump Coming?

If the last men went this way, they would become bored by what Fukuyama called “masterless slavery – the life of rational consumption”. The spread of egalitarian values that went along with secular democratic politics would open up spaces of severe resentment – especially, we might now postulate, among those who had lost their traditional places at the top of social hierarchies, and felt cheated of the recognition that they believed they were owed. Fukuyama did a lovely synthesis of Hegel and Nietzsche and predicted many elements of 2016. A solid read: https://aeon.co/essays/was-francis-fukuyama-the-first-man-to-see-trump-coming

How the Republicans Sold Your Privacy To Internet Providers

On Tuesday afternoon, while most people were focused on the latest news from the House Intelligence Committee, the House quietly voted to undo rules that keep internet service providers — the companies like Comcast, Verizon and Charter that you pay for online access — from selling your personal information. The Senate already approved the bill, on a party-line vote, last week, which means that in the coming days President Trump will be able to sign legislation that will strike a significant blow against online privacy protection. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/29/opinion/how-the-republicans-sold-your-privacy-to-internet-providers.html Four years of unwinding of protection proceeds.

Trump Remains a Predator

A man is being publicly grilled about why he was alone in a room with someone he felt was threatening him. Why didn’t he simply resign if he felt uncomfortable with what his boss was asking him to do? Why did he keep taking calls from that boss, even if he thought they were inappropriate? Why didn’t he just come out and say he would not do what the boss was asking for? Sound familiar?

Trump says he ’learned a lot’ about coronavirus during treatment: ‘This is the real school’ He got it by ignoring and mocking every scientist as part of his “anti-authoritarian” brand.

He is not fit for a renewal of this highest position. His ego was in the way while a quarter million Americans died. He taunted those who, owing to the lack of leadership he offered, did the one thing they could - wear a mask.

Resisting the January 6th Memory Hole

This week, the US House of Representatives voted to pass a bill to create a commission to investigate the events and activities that culminated in the insurrectionist riots in the Capitol on January 6th 2021. Senate Republicans are mounting resistance against the bill and the vote may well split the chamber.

This is investigation is necessary.

Instead of facing the harsh spotlight, some Republicans are trying to rewrite the narrative of facts from that day arguing that it’s not worth it or nothing much happened.

This must not be tolerated.

I urge all Americans to contact their senators and make sure this exploration reveals the mechanisms, rot, and disinformation associated with this event. The republic cannot thrive without a sober look.
