Gonna help you get through this...

Bongo isn't worth the spit. Sharing nothing as he has no grasp of history. I do...but am fairly well-read...and am open to learning the good/bad/ugly of American history. Check out the '60s and the LBJ administration. Find a book by a real historian. Answers should come by seeing it for yourself. Or, magically, given the chance to think about it objectively.

will admit was against Uncle Thomas from the beginning. anyone w/sense knew a black man was going to be appointed but who he was replacing was almost too much to bear (like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark - a jewel for a bag of dirt). never appeared to me to be overqualified or a cognitive powerhouse. believed he'd be what he is. seat filler.

so was biased in that regard. knew how to judge the judge.

in a wider view - we are all biased in some regard. hard not to be. science has shown even our brains give us bad info. racism exists everywhere - no one group is immune. 'tho some use it as a tool to get other tools to act like fools (ex: Jan 6). i.e. don't use bias to prove bias. like trying to wash in dirty water.

Can't help w/the other vids 'cause they smell of BS. Open-minded doesn't mean Open Holed. Don't have to be an outhouse. Don't want to step in it - why roll in it?

I ain't thunkified bout no lectronification no how....hidy-ho.

Sides, I is the envy of my kissin kin.....I got one of them there indoor outhouses.

james o'keefe and project veritas are reknowned in their deceptions and their so-called 'gotcha" shenanigans.

and when i say "shenanigans",i mean clever editing to create a false premise that suits a political agenda.in this case:republicans.

o'keefe is not the first to kneel at the altar of political money,and suck the cock of his masters,simply to buy his way into the powered elites outhouse,located on the very edge of the property.(oooh i am being sassy today).

we can look back at the tea party and literally watch dick army,former congressman turned lobbyist (shocker right there),single handedly change the direction of an entire movement to serve the needs and desires of HIS masters,by the creation of "americans for prosperity".

i am not kidding.
go check it out.
when the original tea party started their message was very similar to the occupy wall street movement in 2011,but dick army and his merry band of fuckheads,manipulated the leadership from outrage against:big banks,wall street and the horrendous malfeasance of rumsfelds department of defense (still looking for that 1 trillion dollars of tax payer money)..

to...

big government and the democrats.

it was quite impressive in its simplicity and brilliance.
reprehensible and grotesque,but impressive.

we can even look at the private organization of the DNC,and how they openly attempted to undermine bernie sanders campaign.a man who was running on THEIR ticket for fuck sakes!

i seem to be on a kick today in regards to people who sell their integrity for cash.for access.for influence.

it appears john carpenters "they live" was not just a simple,cheesy,sci-fi movie but rather a documentary.

"i have come here to kick ass,and chew bubble gum.and i am all out of bubble gum".

So wait...am I racist because I had a Hawaii themed party last year? Am I sexist because I and other men there wore flower pattern skirts and coconut bras? We played native Hawaiian music, but no one tried to Hula...I was afraid we'd get it wrong and anger the volcano.
I also threw a 'white trash' party last year, and built an outhouse and still in my front yard for it. Am I a self hating honkey?

The 'white twitter' thing is weird, because there IS a 'black twitter', isn't there? I hear it reported about all the time.

Might as well put a public outhouse on it if its not used. Should last a while. Though I don't know how safe it would be if the very bottom is like hot plastic rock... but you would have over a minute before your stuff hit the bottom, so just be quick.

Protip from a bee keeper: When harassed by bees, grab a tree limb or a bush and shake it around. The bee's visual acuity is based on movement (like a Trex) and all the leaves shaking is usually a good distraction.


Protip from Trex keeper: Don't hide in bamboo outhouses. They eat that shit up.

@NetRunner

I'm genuinely surprised you would think the left has "lost" over the decades, especially after petty tyrant FDR rewrote the US Constitution, distorting the commerce clause to mean government can do anything it wants.

Then again, Jefferson said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground," and that's EXACTLY what's happened. If Democrats create all of this big government (e.g. like Nixon creating the EPA) and Repubs do nothing to dismantle it and in fact vote to fund it, then effectively both sides are Democrats.

Don't you see? You've WON!

We are a few beats away from becoming a socialist outhouse like Europe. It's nice to declare that everything is "free" by birthright (and great for the politicians that promise it) EXCEPT when there are no more productive souls to pay for the phantasy. GREECE is the word.

To me the worst part about a lot of right-wing assumptions about the left is that they assume we're their mirror image, and project their hostility, dishonesty, ruthlessness, and groupthink onto us.
The truth is, as a group we're too nice, too honest, too forgiving, and too independent, which is why the right ends up eating our lunch so often.
Oh yeah, and they deny that they've ever eaten our lunch. They insist on pretending to be some sort of oppressed underdog, even though they've been effectively running the show for as long as I've been alive.

You know, thinking back... I'm quite certain I saw this being used to light the outhouses at cub scout camp way back in the day.

The middle east was once a center for science and knowledge. A cradle of knowledge that we owe MUCH to. Then the fundies gained in power. Now the middle east is in the technological and social outhouse with a grim outlook indeed. The US at this point can go either way. Go fundie and return to the middle ages, or come to it's senses and realize this mythology shit isn't the path to follow if society and science wants to evolve into something better for all mankind.


the decline and current state of the middle east has little to nothing to do with religion and practically everything to do with the Golden Horde, particularly the siege of baghdad in 1258. but we gotta demonize something right? religion it is

While service providers, especially cable, satellite, cell..whether it be voice/data/text/whatever, are posting profits in the billion or more range they do not need to increase their rates. This "it will only affect a small portion of the customers, the heaviest users" argument is great until it doesn't or their definition of "heavy user" changes....or more people become "heavy users" because their definition of "heavy" is 5 years old and everything increases in quality/size/consumption. Everything except their networks seems to increase in size and capability, which is an odd thing.

As long as they post those profits and don't build out their networks to offer faster, cheaper, better services, they should be regulated even more heavily. Because there is some sort of collusion going on where all the big guys seem to agree that it's in their best interests to not expand but meter their existing services and raise their rates consistently.....to presumably pay for "network improvements" you never see.

And this is ignoring past facts of these guys taking millions and billions of dollars from the tax payers to improve their infrastructure and never doing so, pocketing the money. And now they "can't keep up with the demand" and need more money on top of those previously huge profits to deal with the increased load. But they never say it'll be used to actually make it possible for them to handle the increased load....it's more of a stepping stone to make it so they can continue to use the same old lines, with a much smaller workforce (cheaper!), and make more money.

This is akin to someone having an old wood cabin from the early 1900s, outhouse and all...never updated just maintained as is. And charging you rent equivalent to a up to code modern house might be. And you might say move if you're not happy!....except when you go to look for another place to live..everyone seems to be offering old wood cabins with lower introductory rates but after the first 6 months it's just as expensive to live there. And the modern places are now for "business clients" and corporate/government entities.

Regulate them, require % of profits to be put into replacing the network with better infrastructure, guarantee outages and problems are addressed within 24 hours, resolved within 48 unless extreme conditions apply, rate hikes are fixed and must be justified (if it's increased inflation, make it actually be the rate of inflation, not just some made up amount to increase profits), unbundle offerings (I don't watch many of the channels they bundle...if I don't watch any of the channels they buy in a bundle then don't make me pay for that bundle. If there's one channel I like in a bundle, then let me choose whether or not I buy that particular bundle or not.)

And if they don't want to be regulated, make it possible for people to actually compete against them. The way it's setup now is just ripe for them to rape their customer base. They won't be forced to change until their network is so bad people get more speed out of alternatives.

This looks like fun. Not hanging out with the old dudes, just shooting black-powder firearms at outhouses.

Veyron: otherwise neat-o car spoiled by what looks either like the sh;thole of an outhouse or Hitler's mustache on the front.
