Who the fuck tips on a coffee order

I hope Bernie went in there and nationalized their tip jar to teach her a lesson

Obama: Signed the tip jar and smiled

Bernie: Took the tip jar and equally shared it between every guest and worker in the restaurant

Clinton: Was disgusted by the tip jar and had the waitress murdered to protect Bill

Biden: Paid twice because he didn't remember paying the bill

Kamala: Arrested the tip jar for evading taxes

Trump: took the tips from Trump Grill to buy McDonalds for athletes

took him months of electoral analysis to come to this stunning revelation

Quote from: Howard Schultz

Statistically and anecdotally, there is an undeniable appetite for meaningful political reform in America. I had hoped to represent this common-sense view, but I’ve come to face a few truths about this moment in time:

First, despite a variety of efforts to initiate conversations about political reform, extreme voices currently dominate the national dialogue, often with a vitriol that crowds out and discourages thoughtful discussions. And despite their hunger for reform, the exhausted majority has largely tuned out of political life online and in the news, leaving the extreme voices to define the debate.

Quote from: https://reason.com/2019/09/06/sohrab-ahmari-is-a-joke/

Not too long ago, Sohrab Ahmari, the editor of the New York Post op-ed page, wrote a jeremiad against National Review's David French, succinctly titled "Against David French-ism." At its core, it was an argument not only that French was too nice but that he embodied a habit among conservatives, and in particular among social conservatives, of shrinking from important cultural fights.

What looked on the surface like a personal spat between two opinion journalists was in fact a larger debate about the future of the political right. Ahmari was arguing for a conservatism that wasn't nice or civil as a matter of practice. He wanted a conservative politics that would wage cultural war on its enemies—and win.

Last night, Ahmari took the fight directly to his enemy, debating French in person for the first time in an event at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., moderated by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat. As debates go, it was profoundly lopsided.

French, a lawyer and former president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, repeatedly challenged Ahmari to explain what concrete actions he proposed to defend religious liberty and culture. In doing so, French demonstrated over and over again that Ahmari's arguments are hollow, that his thinking is shallow, that he is an utter lightweight on virtually all the matters of policy substance he claimed to care about. To put it in the kind of blunt and less-than-civil terms that the Post editor might use, the evening proved that Sohrab Ahmari is a joke.

Much of the debate centered on "drag queen story hour," an event held at a California public library that was, by Ahmari's telling, the inciting incident for his attack against French. Ahmari was offended by this event's existence, and for whatever reason he decided that French, and French's style of political argument, were to blame.

Ahmari brought up the California event early in the evening, calling it and others like it a "cultural crisis and a moral emergency." Drag queen story hour, he warned, was a "global movement," since the group that hosts it has 35 chapters. "It is," he said, "a threat."

This eventually prompted French to ask the obvious question: What would Ahmari do to combat this supposed crisis? "What public power would you use?" he asked. "And how would it be constitutional?"

Ahmari's answer—and I promise I am not making this up—was that he would hold a congressional hearing "on what's happening in our libraries," in which sympathetic conservative senators such as Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton would "make the head of the Modern Library Association or whatever sweat."

There has always been something frustratingly vague about Ahmari's vision. In his original essay attacking French, he longed for a conservatism that would "fight the culture war with the aim of defeating the enemy and enjoying the spoils in the form of a public square re-ordered to the common good and ultimately the Highest Good." It was never clear what, precisely, he felt the common good or the Highest Good were, or who would be in charge of defining them. But now, at long last, we have some clarity about what it means to fight the culture war in this manner: It means convening a formal event at which public officials are mean to the head of the Modern Library Association. Which is to say: It means political theater designed to entertain and satisfy Sohrab Ahmari.

Later, Ahmari suggested that local ordinances could be passed to prohibit culturally offensive displays like drag queen story hour, or that obscenity laws could be enforced more strictly.

...

Similarly, Ahmari wants to reinstate the ban on assault weapons, a position an editorial in his paper recently endorsed, not because he believes it would be effective—the piece admits that such bans are arbitrary and that the previous one had "limited impact"—but because his agenda consists almost entirely of empty, symbolic action.

He likewise defended Missouri Sen. Hawley's absurd plan to regulate social media functionality, not because it offered good, practical ideas—"it's not as if I agree with every provision," he said—but on the grounds that "at least [Hawley's] willing to say, here's a problem, and the state may have a role." At one point he offered, largely unprompted, "I am willing to ban things. Let me put it that way."

maybe this is more wank dad?

It also lends credibility to the idea that libertarianism is just watered-down conservatism. There’s a reason why certain neoconservatives scrambled to the LP in 2016.

Quote

Before his promotion this week to a leading role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, 30-year-old Avi Berkowitz filled a number of odd jobs in the West Wing. They have included shepherding distinguished visitors — the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jeff Bezos, Sheldon Adelson — around the White House, and hanging onto Jared Kushner’s phone while Kushner is in meetings, a duty that sometimes had Berkowitz responding to messages on his boss’ behalf.

“There are times when people think they’re texting with Jared, but they’re actually texting with Avi,” said one former White House official, who recalled thinking, “Holy crap” when witnessing Berkowitz reading an incoming message from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Kushner’s phone. (Berkowitz and Kushner dispute this. “I have never texted anyone from Jared’s phone nor do I read his messages,” said Berkowitz. “Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken.”)

In his new role, Berkowitz will be perceived, more so than his predecessor, as an extension of Kushner, who has employed the young Harvard Law School graduate in various capacities since 2012. In 2017, Trump tapped his son-in-law to develop the administration’s plan to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict, which the president has called “the ultimate deal.”

This is so going to work out.

Quote

Can the F-Bomb Save Beto?
Beto O’Rourke’s uncouth language is a pungent sign of the times.

The surprise attack on Hawaii came on a quiet Sunday morning, and it fell to the president of the United States to rally a confused and stricken nation one day later in a momentous address to Congress:

“Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941—a date which will live as totally fucked up—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of Japan.”

That’s the power of language at work. And who can forget the image of an American commander in chief in Berlin on the front lines of the Cold War: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this fucking wall.”

Let’s be mature about this. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan both surely dropped a choice word or two in private, even on solemn subjects like Pearl Harbor and Soviet tyranny. Democrat Beto O’Rourke, meanwhile, has not actually signaled that he will make the F-bomb a central part of his rhetorical arsenal in the unlikely event he becomes the next president.

He is, however, apparently hoping that vulgarity will be an engine of his political revival in the Democratic presidential contest. In doing so, he is part of a confluence of factors serving to mainstream what once counted as the most forbidden entry in the roster of four-letter words.

Notice to reader: The examples above are just two of 14 profanities in this story. Editors decided to skip the coy dashes and asterisks and more straightforward [expletive deleteds]. How else to handle it when a candidate for president infuses a policy statement after a horrific mass shooting with the phrase, “This is fucked up”?

Quote

But O’Rourke is the one who has made the word his signature. After making his 2018 Texas Senate race surprisingly competitive before narrowly losing, O’Rourke went viral with his concession speech in which he praised supporters, “I’m so fucking proud of you guys.”

When he began his bid for president, O’Rourke was scolded at a campaign stop by a voter who urged him to “clean up his act” and not use profanity in ways where children will hear it. “Point taken, and very strongly made,” O’Rourke replied, promising to “keep it clean.”

But last month, meeting with reporters after the mass shooting in his hometown of El Paso, O’Rourke seemed impatient with what he regarded as the naivete of some questions about Trump’s role in inciting violence. “Members of the press, what the fuck?!” he exclaimed.

There are two facts about the F-word that most people learn early in their teenage years: The reaction it gets depends on context, and its shock value tends to diminish rapidly. O’Rourke’s initial uses of the word did seem a little like a young person at a family dinner: Wonder how the table will respond?

On balance, O’Rourke seems pleased with the reaction, at least among the people he cares most about. After new shootings in Texas, he went on CNN last Sunday morning to say: “We’re averaging about 300 mass shootings a year. No other country comes close. So, yes, this is fucked up." He also defended his swearing by saying that it was "just honest" and important "to shock the conscience of this country."

O'Rourke's campaign also noted that all of the proceeds for his profane T-shirt go to March for Our Lives and Moms Demand.

Quote

But a generation that currently has made a star of Lana Del Rey and her album “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” with its hit song “Fuck It I Love You” isn’t likely to stay shocked, or perhaps even interested, for very long by O’Rourke’s language.

Back in 2004, when then-Vice President Dick Cheney told Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy to “Go fuck yourself” on the floor of the Senate, many news organizations debated internally about how to report the obviously newsworthy exchange—since it involved words that were forbidden by their editorial standards.

Michael Ferguson
"Beto O’Rourke’s uncouth language it is a pungent sign of the times."?? No, it's not. It's yet another example of the Left damaging virtually everythng it touches.

1. Colleges/Universities used to be places of higher learning and active, open debate on every subject. They are now little more than Leftist Indoctrination camps, with zero room for any opinions that don't lineup with Leftist ones. Any opinion outside the bubble of Leftism is abjectly NOT Tolerated.
2. Our Immigration "policies" have become a joke; the Left wants open borders, increased Illegal Immigration and full services/resources available to all comers. Sanctuary Cities are puposesly making deportation of those who shouldn't be here next to impossible, but the Left does not care.
3. Gender confusion all around - physical males participating in girls athletics (where's the Feminists on this one, btw...), removal of any and all references to our Judeo-Christian heritage and founding, focus from the earliest elementary school grades on "climate change" instead of any teachings about the values and ideas that were part of how and why our country was formed; not so much as a nod to the Capitalism that created the wealth in this country which the new crop of Socialist wish to take away and/or redistribute, etc. etc, etc...
4. And now here comes Beto and the rest, modelling for our youth that it's perfectly fine to drop FBombs in public speeches. It's cool, it's now, it's for the youth?? Nope! It's childish and displays nothing more than a pitiful lack of vocabulary skills or clear thinking. Adults know this, but Beto and most on the Left don't think or behave like adults and in fact feel like they need to"dumb down" their speeches for "Average Americans". This condescending view should be a direct put-down to American voters. The Left have childish dream of Utopia, live in Lefty bubbles where realities don't exist and think that the rest of us should or want to live this way.
Wrong...
