Patterico's Pontifications

Ay yai yai

Patterico (bcf524) — 8/17/2016 @ 6:49 pm

Did I say “fat, spoiled, white people” the other day?

First, I amend that to “fat, stupid, stupid, stupid, spoiled, white Trumpkins”.
Second, I apologize to people.

I say it’s staged and scripted.

Andrew (b12b60) — 8/17/2016 @ 7:30 pm

There’s nothing amusing about a Hillary Administration.
The way she’s cozying up to George Soros is no laughing matter.

Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 8/17/2016 @ 7:31 pm

Ok, I was able to access the “Says who?” video on YouTube. That’s fine. “Foundation, counsel!” *Journalists* like to use these throwaways, assuming facts not in evidence, and should be called on it. The second part, his canned spiel, was of lesser quality. He should have practiced it more.

nk (dbc370) — 8/17/2016 @ 8:08 pm

Guess you are REALLY lookin forward to Pres Clinton redux

kinlaw (7267b5) — 8/17/2016 @ 8:12 pm

This is surreal: After the “says who” interview in the post, Michael Cohen told CNN that he totally owned the interview and boasted that he “unraveled” CNN’s Brianna Keiler.

Further:

“I was shocked at the length of the silence as she stumbled to think of an answer,” Cohen said. “And when she did come up with an answer, it was so generic it could have applied to anything.

Dana (995455) — 8/17/2016 @ 9:18 pm

brianna keelar, the same one who was denying on social media, that she had been cut off repeatedly when she raised a query.

narciso (732bc0) — 8/17/2016 @ 9:22 pm

A long time ago, in a place far away (no, not far away), I watched Katie Couric interview Ross Perot:

“Mr. Perot, you offended a lot of people by saying you would not have adulterers or homosexuals in your administration ….” I’m pretty sure that’s verbatim.

Ross Perot did not call her on the “you offended a lot of people”. He soft-pedaled an answer to the accusation.

It’s been 24 years and I cannot forget it. Why did he let her get away with it?
“Which people would those be, Katie?”
“How many people is that, Katie?”
“How do you know how many people I offended, Katie?”
“Your make-up man and assistant producer are not a lot of people, Katie.”
“Only adulterers and homosexuals, I imagine, Katie.”
But he did not say any of those things.

I consider Cohen putting down this Barbie vicarious revenge for what Katie Couric did to Ross Perot.

And you know what else? Screw Fox! They helped put Trump up there.

All these clowns rushing in to worship at the feet of the “Democrats do it better” guy, while accusing those opposed to the “Democrats do it better” guy of not being Conservative. It is a sick joke to be worshiping at the feet of Donald Comacho.

John Hitchcock (89487c) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:37 pm

First, the CNN headline is fubar. Trump didn’t overhaul anything. He hired more personnel.

If you were any kind of decent you would correct the record instead of regurgitating Hillary spin.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:38 pm

Second, if I were to start referring to our resident Hillary supporters as beaners, wetbacks, spearchuckers or porch monkeys, you would slap a ban on me so fast my ears would be ringing.

So lets not pretend what nk and Handcock have been doing for over a month is fair practice.

I am so tired of being treated like an underclass in my own country.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:46 pm

You object to traitor? How about defector?

papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:47 pm

The wicked flee when no man pursueth. The “Says who?” clip stands on its own. Each person can judge it on its own merits. Read my comments for example, and I’m no Trumpkin.

BTW, this isn’t the lawyer who sent the cease and desist to Cruz, is it?

nk (dbc370) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:53 pm

A month? I’ve been doing it since Trump announced. Has it only been a month? It feels like almost a year.

nk (dbc370) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:57 pm

Well, I don’t want to nitpick. You said “over a month”, and almost a year is over a month.

nk (dbc370) — 8/17/2016 @ 11:58 pm

“You already betrayed your people, Admiral! You made your choices sir! You’re a traitor! Now, if the bitter taste of that makes you uncomfortable I am truly sorry, but I will not risk my crew because you think you can dance on the edge of the neutral zone. You crossed over Admiral. Make yourself comfortable with that.” – from The Defector Episode 10 of the 3rd season STTNG

Papier mache tigre, who has been lying on this site for over a year, and has been called out for his lies by multiple people, doesn’t like it when he gets called a liar? Then he should quit lying.

I am certain that Hillary won’t get us into a thermonuclear war. Cannot say that about Trump. Trump is a singularity.

maybe harvardtrash ted could screech some more about bathroom tranny menace

that would derail Mr. Trump’s campaign for sure and all the people will say we should nominate harvardtrash ted and his harvardtrash sacky for to do the leaderships

but y’all don’t think outside the box like that

happyfeet (28a91b) — 8/18/2016 @ 4:48 am

Getting away from all the personal attacks between commenters, do notice how the media arm of the Clerisy use ridicule and editing to create meme warfare tools.

I would not mind if they weren’t so nakedly partisan about it.

I was talking with a former student about this. She was shocked when she learned how similar the media language about Trump (who is a profoundly weak and ill suited candidate) is to pretty much every Republican Presidential candidate since the 1950s.

Lack of historical perspective is key. In “Brave New World,” Mustapha Mond quoted Our Ford: “History is bunk.”

This willful ignorance of the past is key for meme warfare to be effective.

Simon Jester (4856fd) — 8/18/2016 @ 4:59 am

yes yes and people are also doing a lot of willful ignorance about what happened when we nominated Meghan’s coward daddy and perverted weirdo Mitt Romney

guess what they lost (i googled it)

Too many people vote who should not, except maybe on American idol. For my part, I applaud happyfeet’s awareness of his limitations and his sense of social responsibility. I’ll bet he doesn’t drive when he’s been drinking, either. More people should follow his example. All the Trump voters for a start.

Well lookie there. Handcock let go of his chimechanga long enough to spit some more bile.

What do you think about the Porta-potty with the locking door idea, papertiger? Evidence of Trump’s genius? Think about it during your vacation from commenting. Which begins . . . now.

Papier mache tigre, who has been lying on this site for over a year, and has been called out for his lies by multiple people, doesn’t like it when he gets called a liar? Then he should quit lying.

I don’t approve of comments like this. In the future if someone is being obnoxious let me know rather than speaking in this tone.

happyfeet (a037ad) — 8/18/2016 @ 6:58 am

So what has changed?

Our point of reference in criticizing Trump is all wrong. We live in a country that has been regulated with none of the features that we normally associate with the rule of law. The average guy has no idea what “the rule of law” means. The only people who have any experience with our traditional “rule of law” are criminals. They expect a trial by jury and right to legal council. Their public defender may not amount to much, but all the elements of what we consider the “rule of law” are visibly in play as our criminal lurches through the legal system.

But not so the average guy who has no experience with the criminal side of our society other than jury duty. The average guy runs into the modern regulatory state in very different circumstances. Someone from the county permit office arrives one morning and tapes off his house because he had the wrong permit, or maybe none at all. A tax payer gets his assessment for his house and notes that it is 50% higher than his neighbor’s, and attempts to correct it. He discovers that the body that reviews his complaint is the same one that made the screwy assessment in the first place. His only option is to keep plugging and hope to wear them out. But they are paid to waste time, so the odds aren’t good. You need to do a little demolition work and discover that several state environmental agencies are now concerned about lead (Pb) in your paint and asbestos in a layer of shingles. You’ll have to hire a specialized demolition crew who arrive wearing haz-mat suits and perform very dangerous work encumbered in these silly suits. The price is exorbitant. The average guy cheers when he learns that a National Forest is going to be upgraded to a National Park. The next time he attempts to go fishing as he used to, he finds the Park is now closed to the public. The family next door flies to Disney Land and they spend hours suffering the abuses of TSA while en route. The kid next door sets up lemonade stand, and all heck breaks loose. The average guy cheers when Obama gives him health care, only to discover he has fewer choices for his family and his monthly insurance bill has gone up $400. He has no recourse. Thirteen armed men descend on the St. Francis No Kill Animal Sanctuary, and while the staff is ushered at gun point into a corral by the Deputy Sheriffs, the Game Wardens search the facility and destroy a fawn that was being temporarily cared for with the wrong permits.

It goes on and on. For ten years there has been no indication that anything can constrain the abuses of our regulators. Republicans, Democrats, it doesn’t make a bit of difference. We live in a land where we must comply with every sort of foolishness, and there is no recourse. Worse, we must pretend that these fools in the their government offices are geniuses making a utopia. Even when they work for the IRS and we discover that they have been abusing conservative groups. Or worse yet, an agency tasked with enforcing gun laws comes up with “Fast and Furious” and ends up distributing machine guns to drug lords in Mexico. Nothing happens when a Border Patrol officer is gunned down with one of these weapons.

So for the average guy, what’s the big deal with Trump. Maybe Trump will be on the little guy’s side like he claims he will.

And the “leaders” of the Republican Party still don’t understand the problem.

When we get a Hillary! you have no one to blame but yourself. You and your brother Trumptards. I know you’ll blame the so-called #NeverTrumpers. But that’s just a word for conservatives who have simply told Trump what he needs to do to earn their votes. And Trump gave us the finger and said “I don’t need to do a damn thing to win your votes, fall in line peasant.”

And you, papertiger, picked up the chant. You told us we uppity conservatives just need to shut up and get on board the Trump train. Your boyfriend must never ever be criticized.

And even if every one of the conservatives you insult as #NeverTrumpers fall in line (and they are, Brad Thor was a premier #NeverTrumper but he announced the other day he was falling in line) there aren’t enough Republicans to win an election.

You idiots through a tantrum and insisted that the GOP nominate an unelectable candidate because Trump got 38% of the GOP vote. A man who scares the hell out of independents. And what was your reaction? Everything Trump says is brilliant. Everything Trump says can not be criticized.

And all you have is this moronic argument that anybody not giving Trump the same tongue bath you are is for Hillary! And anybody not falling in line, joining your cult, and enthusiastically worshiping your idol is a traitor.

Here’s a newsflash: the independents who the GOP needs to beat the Democrats didn’t take the same blind-faith loyalty oath to your cult. And when Trump brings the crazy, and you applaud AND demand everyone else do the same, they say “Trump and his Trumptards are all batsh*t crazy” and run screaming into Hillary!’s arms.

The fact you’ll blame the #NeverTrumpers is just a sign of your insanity. Because most #NeverTrumpers were saying is, “We want to see the GOP candidate do X,Y, and Z.” And you idiots pile on and demand to know who are we peons to demand or even ask anything from your god, papertiger.

It’s all going to be your fault when Trump loses, papertiger. All your fault, and your lousy candidate’s. You create Hillary! voters because there is now no place in the GOP coalition for the independent or unaffiliated voter who really does want a sane alternative to Hillary! without taking the blind loyalty oath you demand from other GOPers, and you make that abundantly clear every time you comment. You and your ilk.

How dare anybody expect your god to persuade. You are no different from the BLM crowd, and a lot of independents don’t like either of you.

You want a unity speech? I’ll give you a unity speech.
I DON’T Care who our candidate is. And I haven’t since the beginning of this. I haven’t.
Ask not what the candidate can do for you, but ask what you can do for the candidate.
And that is what the Tea Party is. They are there to confront THEM on behalf of the candidate.
I will march behind whoever the candidate is. Because if we don’t, we lose.
There are two paths. There are two paths. The one is America, and the other one is Occupy.
And I don’t care. Along the way. Along the way. I’m not the candidate. I’m just a goofball from Los Angeles, who wears goofy shoes. Promised to shave. Didn’t. Promised to shower, but got too caught up in talking to everybody. Kind of a mess, but kind of excited to be here, because over the last three years I’ve realized that the Republican Party and the conservative movement is not what ABC and CBS puts on the screen.
They try to portray you in the worst possible light. And when I walk through CPAC, when I travel the country meeting people in the Tea Party who care… black, white, gay and straight.
Anyone who is willing to stand next to me, to fight the progressive left, I will be in that bunker.
And if you are not satisfied with THIS candidate, more than shame on you!
You are on the other side.

The Trumpinistas say that not voting for Trump is a vote for Hillary. The Hillary fascists say that not voting for her is a vote for Trump. A logical fallacy it is! That would mean by not voting for either one, I am actually getting two votes. Makes no sense to the one man one vote rule.

Yoda will not vote either. I made this vow after reluctantly voting for McCain that you turds forced on me then. Either give me someone that I can vote for and not against the “lesser of two evils”, or I will not vote. The lesser of two evils, still a vote for evil it is!

The next commenter to tell me that a no vote for TehDonald is a vote for Hillary, or calls me a traitor, defector, liberal, etc., etc., etc………. may force Yoda to vote for Fascist Hillary! If one keeps being called or accused falsely of being a Hillary supporter by you numbnut, lying, Trumpbots, then by damnn, I might as well do it!
