you joe_zazen dude, sorry, we have a "only one etiolate per forum" rule bruh
He wiped out all of his posts. :doge
If that's a tacit admission he fucked up, good on him. Hard not to get defensive in real time when someone (cough) is being a dick about it.

It is a bit interesting how what began as rightwing chain email fodder (Ford gave $100 million to anti-police thugs, boycott them!) was repurposed for the left with a slight tweak (Ford gave $100 million to BLM, it's obviously a neoliberal astroturf group!).

It'd be one thing if he wiped this particular discussion, but he went through all of them. His entire account is clean now.

Something something echo chambers. Though to be fair, I don't know if he's that guy. Not that I can go back and check now, anyway.

Good people don't do what you do.

You're a coward and I sense that you're vile inside.

However, I am just flinging assessments at you. There's not much else to do in regards to a person like you. However, if you insist on the snark and passive aggressive horseshit, I'll continue to be honest about your behavior. That'll be our agreement.

So is it common knowledge that BLM took a 100 million dollar grant from the Ford Foundation, with strings?  Like, how many of these 'grassroots' orgs are beholden to the ultra-rich?  That Seattle Bernie Sanders thing makes way more sense now.
I googled "ford foundation blm" and Snopes is literally the second result.
not to mention the fact that this suggests "BLM" is some official, Borg entity with an official head quarters somewhere in Chicago no doubt and the means of utilizing 100mil in a central way.

Tax reform plan still includes 401k cap (although it sounds like it'll be 8k instead of the initially proposed 2k)

good fucking luck

Trying to see if full expensing is still included, but I haven't run across a clear answer

Agreed, I've felt that way since day one. They'll retreat and pass some tax cuts, but comprehensive reform will not get done without a miracle. Especially when it's built on fucking people who vote, and sometimes (often?) vote republican.

Quote
“Here’s what Manafort’s indictment tells me: Mueller is going to go over every financial dealing of Jared Kushner and the Trump Organization,” said former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg. “Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You can’t go any lower. He’s fucked.”

 :whew

Quote
Speaking to Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of Mike Flynn and James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment, according to a source briefed on the call. When Roger Stone recently told Trump that Kushner was giving him bad political advice, Trump agreed, according to someone familiar with the conversation. “Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg said. “I’m only saying publicly what everyone says Behind the Scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.”

I've heard of the book, which is apparently popular within Putin's circle.

Generally skeptical of putting too much stock into the idea of a seminal text or a single guiding plan. You get too deep and you wind up like one of those people going on about taqiyya.

I get what you mean, but reading the summary vs whats actually going on irl. I dont find it had too believe russia has latched onto divisive topics and made the situation worse to cause divide, and tbh I dont know exactly where that ends. I would say though, thats how they managed to annex crimea.

I think it's because the zeitgeist of the party shifted from print to talk radio. They replaced Buckley with Limbaugh and Will with Levin. It went from stuffy psuedo-intellectualism to bombast.


-- // --

There's a great book yet to be written about the effect of the conservative Jew on the Republican Party (post WWII). Starting with Buckley and his magazines clear effort to stomp anti-semitism out of the party (mostly coming from the South) which then gave opportunity to many great conservative Jewish writers (like Will), to Goldwater's ascendence in '64 which became the blueprint for modern Conservatism, to Kissinger with Nixon and his influence on foreign policy, which then culminated with Reagan in the 80's. Reagan actually got 35 percent of the Jewish vote in 1980 (remarkable to think of when compared to today) and had many Republicans of that time thinking they could gather even more in.

Reagan, of course, ran on a strong pro-Isreal campaign which still resonates today (and has young people scratching their heads as to why someone who is just as likely to fly a Confederate flag or give a Nazi salute is as likely to defend Isreal). He also had many conservative Jews in his cabinet or in consul (like Friedman).

Then 1994 happened and the party went "full south". Embracing all the baggage that the term implies. Making those neocons of the 70's and 80's look more and more out of place (at least domestically).
