Comments on: Very Interesting https://whynow.dumka.us/2018/03/20/very-interesting-5/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 30 Mar 2018 22:12:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2018/03/20/very-interesting-5/comment-page-1/#comment-87494 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 22:12:39 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=41152#comment-87494 No one knows if Laura Ingraham followers should be called “Ingraham Crackers” or “Lorons”. I would lean towards the first as I’m fairly certain they are “Crackers” in the Southern sense of the word. [You may not be familiar with the US delicacy: Graham crackers, a type of cookie/biscuit.]

I have covered the lawyer problem. He shouldn’t have involved so many people in his crimes that they used up the local supply of lawyers. It would also help if he had always paid his attorneys. Lawyers don’t mind representing the guilty, but they want to be paid, and they want to be listened to. Dowd left because Trump wouldn’t listen and Trump may have wanted Dowd to perjure himself.

I hope Ingraham can get a lawyer ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I’ve been tweeting the past few days about Dotard’s Lawyer problems. I used this article/vid:
An unheard-of problem: The President can’t find a lawyer

Some good news. The old Fox bobblehead Laura Ingraham attacked David Hog, forgetting he’s a legal age child! Oops! So a Twitter/FB boycott started calling on he advertisers to stop supporting her program. And several have!

Laura Ingrahamโ€™s Elitist Attack on David Hogg Backfires โ€“ Show Faces Cancellation Threat

Oh! And via WAPO: LeBron James has filed a lawsuit tonight against @IngrahamAngIe and @Foxnews for defamation for her comment he should just dribble, meaning blacks can’t understand politics. ๐Ÿ˜† All in one day! I’d say her luck is all gone.

One of the Parkland students, Jaclyn Corin, is calling for Rep. Randy fine (53 district, South Brevard county) to be voted out. He originally supported firearm restriction amendments in FL, but now is filing bills that repeal the firearm age raise to 21, waiting period, and ban of bump stocks in FL. Probably the NRA got to him.

Lastly… I found a great, though lengthy, rant on several current topics on dKos! I haven’t stopped laughing! ๐Ÿ˜†
Yโ€™all Can Have Roseanne, I’m Content Watching Laura Ingraham Get Dragged All Over the Internet

The hormones will kick in shortly and she will figure it out. She believes and cares which is why politicians should be worried.

The Congress still doesn’t get it – people are getting fed up with being ignored. The line “The only thing easier to buy than a gun in US is a politician” is hitting home. None of the Rights in the Bill of Rights are absolute. You can’t use your rights to violate mine.

They aren’t uneducated, they are willfully ignorant. If they are online they have access to the facts and the truth from multiple sources, but they would rather believe the bullshit from friends at the bar who find excuses for their lousy lives. They are looking for excuses, not answers. They don’t want to take responsibility for their own bad choices, they want to blame someone else.

They are marks, and Trump is enough of a con man to get them to believe that he is a successful businessman instead of someone who inherited his business and hasn’t managed to spend all of his inheritance yet. He tells them what they want to hear and convinces them that he can solve all of the country’s problems.

Hell, Trump can’t even find a lawyer. How worthless do you have to be to not be able to find a lawyer willing to represent you? He has struck out in Washington and in Chicago. He knows better than to look in New York. This is what happens when you don’t listen to your lawyers and don’t pay them if you don’t like what they tell you.

I know her name is Naomi Wadler and her Mom is Julie and they are originally from Ethiopia. Naomi had a huge day but is so down to Earth, most of the big names she met didn’t have a huge impact, though she treated them all with the dignity and aplomb of a veteran. She doesn’t use social media and watches the news with her family. Amazing. One of my favorite quotes from Naomi is:

“People have said I”m a tool for some adult. It’s not true.”
“โ€ฆ I am here today to honor the words of Toni Morrison: ‘If there is book you want to read but no one has written it, you must be the one to write it.'”

Of course the Dotard/NRA lovers are fairly uneducated and behave like Dotard. I’ve been tweeting with some dude calling himself Tobacco Joe. Guess where he stands? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜† He does the typical retweeting of the same mantra over and over in slightly different ways, claiming I’m not answering him so I must be wrong! I keep laughing @ him and point to my first comment way above where I did, in fact, reply to his made up BS! I said all he’s doing is totally embarrassing himself, but please continue as we all need a good laugh! And several T friends chimed in and agreed. So he went apeshit and said he wanted us to die & other threats of violence. Which was what my friends and I expected, so we reported him and his account is banned. They are sooooo easy! I suppose one day I’ll get bored baiting them… But for now it’s too much fun! ๐Ÿ˜€

A good update here:
The story behind 11-year-old Naomi Wadler and her March for Our Lives speech

Bolton probably said something negative about Putin which is the proximate cause for McMaster and Tillerson being fired. Trump is terrified of Putin. I suspect that if Russians withdrew their funding, Trump Inc will dissolve.

Stormy Daniels is embarrassing, but the defamation law suit of Summer Zervos is the larger legal problem because it will mean that Trump is going to be deposed under oath and he will lie. Of course if Melania decides to divorce him, then all bets are off. The circus will need a bigger tent.

What amazes me is the people who claim the kids are actors or pawns of adults, then complain when the kids do things that show they are kids, like yell when they want to be heard in a crowd or at a sports event despite having a mike in front of them. They also use some crude language, like Trump.

The guy who wants to blame the FBI and the Broward Sheriff needs to learn about jurisdiction and the laws of arrest. The FBI had no jurisdiction to do anything, and Cruz hadn’t violated any laws before he started shooting people. Maybe if Congress would pass a few laws that didn’t restrict the ability of law enforcement to do anything about guns, we might have a reduction in gun violence.

The kids don’t have jobs or anything else that the NRA can threaten them with. They have been in their first fire fight, so the NRA would have to find a threat greater than getting gunned down to scare these kids. Ain’t going to happen.

The kids are getting incredibly good at making the Politicians & NRA look really bad! Just a couple examples:

Twitter only video (there may be other copies on regular news sources.) Check the comments below. Most are as expected from the RW morons & NRA trolls. My comments also there.
Dear Congress, how can you claim to stand for the people but let your kids get slaughtered like animals in their own schools?

This young lass was awesome!
11-year-old speaks up for the black girls whose stories don’t make the front page

As for Bolton… I hope The Hill is correct!
John Bolton is already a lame duck โ€” and he knows it

And… Dottard’s Stormy affair is getting HUUUUUGE! ๐Ÿ˜† Gonna need a LOT of popcorn! ๐Ÿ˜‰

If the phone doesn’t recognize a word it puts it in quotes. if you select the word in quotes it becomes part of the system. I had to manual add things to my Samsung, before I said to hell with it and turned the spelling checker off.

Trump thought that Bolton was totally unsuited for any position back in the Bush administration because he was a war monger, and now Trump wants war mongers. Bolton may have changed in a decade out of government but I doubt it.

We get rain and cooling along the coast when these fronts swing through, but we bounce back to the 70s after a couple of days. Further inland they get severe weather and flooding flooding, but not on the coast.

If they aren’t affecting your foundation, you should never consider chopping down healthy trees that are native to your area. One of the big problems down here is that people clear cut land before building and then bring in invasive trees like sugarberries and Chinese tallow/popcorn trees because they are fast growing. Sugarberries do grow in the South, but they require good soil and a lot of water. We have neither along the coast because the sand drains so quickly.

I have been enjoying the flowers.

I use it a lot, but it doesn’t get any better so far as I can tell.

Yeah, when I heard Bolton was getting the position, my eyes just rolled back in my head. This is a man that has never met a war he didn’t like, and I don’t know about you, but there is something in this man’s personality that just seems a little…well…bent. And this is the person that we supposed to depend on for our highest national security position? We are so screwed.

It’s snowing like hell here and we expect about 8 inches before it heads out. Then weirdly we should have 60 degree temperatures next week. Kryten’s having thunderstorms, lol, so what’s happening in your neck of the woods, Bryan. Lot of weather going on here. But it’s beautiful as I look out my window. There’s such a whiteout that I can’t even see the mountains behind my house. I have a nice winter view, and I could have a summer view if I had the heart to cut several poplars behind the house.

Yeah, up in the San Francisco area Pacific Gas and Electric raise their prices for natural gas to pay for maintenance and system upgrades which they then didn’t do and they got a few houses blown up and people killed when when a gas line broke and exploded. In San Diego I refused to install a computer and modem set up in a printing shop because I had extension cords in my truck that were larger than the electrical service coming into that building. You can’t run typesetting machines and an office with 60 amp service. San Diego Gas & Electric only updated after the fires, not on a regular basis.

There was a last minute change that moved a support structure on that bridge. It is possible that the change caused the brand new bridge to crack and then snap. They had been tensioning the support cables hours prior to the failure. The bridge was preassembled on the side and then swung into position across the road at night. It was pedestrian bridge and had never been opened for use.

Jeez! I forgot how much I HATE the damned moronic Android auto-correct! Have to put quotes around everything to stop it!

I hear thunder on the horizon. Storm coming. I’ll probably loose power for an hour or so. Almost always do! My UPS is good for about 40 mins on laptop/NAS/Router (on the PC about 15 min’s, but that’s dead). But I have a spare battery for laptop & tablet and a 11 & 21 AH battery power pack. But they don’t do anything for the NAS or Router. ๐Ÿ˜‰
