Now The Push To "Defund The Police" Is Starting To Make A Lot More Sense

"I don't HAVE to see your phone, Sir, I already know what's on it."

 

The Blackest Of Black Comedies (Is A White Production)

"Don't worry, Miss - we're only looking at your meta data!"

Hearing conservative whites say "no" to reparations, with defiant certainty, as they cheer Rand Paul's digressions - on fears over privacy issues - can be wickedly amusing.

The culture that would do these things to us is clearly better than our own.

Hearing conservative whites say "no" to reparations, with defiant certainty, as they cheer Paul Ryan's digressions - on the results of a "bad" culture - this can tickle, too.

This non-violence stuff will kill you!

Hearing conservative whites say "no"  to reparations, with defiant certainty, as they cheer Lindsey Graham's digressions - on how we all must fight the evils of terrorism - some can giggle about it.

Early white gentrification efforts in black American towns.

But hearing conservative whites say "no" to reparations, with defiant certainty, as they cheer George Will's digressions - on Putin's theft occurring in Ukraine - now that takes a real sense of humor.

Rand Paul Will Not Run 4 President & Crack's Colorblind

I haven't gotten upset about Edward Snowden's NSA revelations because I figured (duh) the government was doing it already. But, in light of Rand Paul's success at Berkeley - where he talked, specifically, about opposing the NSA - running into Adalia Woodbury's braying, about internet surveillance being authorized by President Bush, became kinda interesting. As a matter of fact, I've got to agree with her - if Rand Paul's planning on running for president, he's got to find a better class of losers:

   The ironies in this story are endless, beginning with the cast of characters. We have Rand Paul who believes freedom means businesses denying services to black people, denying women the right to make their own healthcare decisions and denying non-Republicans the right to vote as a great civil libertarian fighting for privacy rights that were, in reality, violated by the NSA solely on orders by fellow Republican, George W. Bush. We have Ken Cuccinelli who tried to regulate sex when he was Virginia’s Attorney General as the lead attorney in a suit on privacy rights.  We have Larry Klayman, who tried [to] nullify Barack Obama’s presidency with a birther suit, and last year tried to stage a coup with his demand that Obama “put the Quran down.” Yet, he filed his suit because he is concerned about privacy rights?

[Snip]

In Rand Paul’s world, privacy is merely his delusion of a ticket to the White House.

Delusion, eh? We at TMR know a few things about that. So here's where it gets tricky - I looked into this "businesses denying services to black people" thing (naturally) and discovered why Mr. Paul is avoiding all discussion of "social issues":

He's actually a racial Mr. Magoo:

 

Gobbledigook. Solicitor General Walter Dellinger said he was puzzled by Paul's comments elsewhere (which are all demonstrations in avoidance strategy) "suggest that he did not understand the magnitude of what was at stake in the civil rights movement.” I wouldn't be surprised, if Paul's peers, and supporters, are any indication. 

Later, The Washington Post accused Paul of "rewriting history" regarding his positions. (A major no-no around these parts.) As best, I can tell, the most clear point Rand Paul has ever made, regarding race, is in saying he would've marched with Martin Luther King - he's made that point many, many, many times - but he would NOT have insisted King could eat at a Woolworth's lunch counter. 

 Come on. I've seen that line repeated, in one form or another, by Republicans and Hard Right types for a while now: 

They "don't see race," and they'll even be a black's friend, but - in a most unfriendly manner - they'll also endorse ideas and policies that result in blacks, specifically, not having what we need to live after undergoing what they openly acknowledge was a well-delivered "stain on our history". 

Yes, we get it, it's a blood stain. Ours.

 Look, give it up, Guys. Rand Paul doesn't stand a chance with this nonsense in his background, his dad's white supremacist newsletters, etc.. He's toast. I've read a bunch of his statements and he can't even hold a coherent discussion on the topic without coming off as evasive or racist. I mean really racist. But I'm not saying he is one.  See?  

I'm catching on to how this game is played, too.

I hate to say this, folks, but here's TMR's presidential political analysis for those with no skills:

After the disaster of Romney, here's Hillary's challenger,…

"If You Meet A Right-Wing NewAge Conspiracy Theorist On The Road - Kill Him" (And, For Goodness' Sake, Now)

I warned you. You didn't listen. You hang on Glenn "Conspiracy Theory" Reynolds and Pajamas Media's every fucking word. Like Pajamas Media posted this, Reynolds linked to it, and now I've read it. I told you - Mitt Romney was merely a heads-up we were headed for Mystic Mayhem™. Here's further proof the G.O.P. now needs a fucking intervention - or an exorcism:

"Buddha and the Elephant"

Great. First it was the "touched by God" guy, or whatever, and now, full-blown Buddhism?

Political suicides don't get any more public than this. Oh, and one more thing:

For what it's worth:

Privacy and the NSA wouldn't be a problem if the Right Wing had some common sense,...

 

Giving WikiLame WikiLeaks Some WikiLashings

It seems the WikiLeaks Army AKA Julianne Assange's NewAge Nazis have blitzkrieged the world because - get this - the world would like some privacy. Silly world. Oh well, we beat the Nazi's once, and, we guess, we'll have to beat 'em again. But this time, when we finally put 'em down, let's put 'em down for good.

You know, like dogs.

Plus a P.S. that should be unnecessary, but since people are, apparently, stupid:

We put that video up there because we think it's funny - funny as in crazy - not because we "believe" anything in it. If you visit this site often and couldn't figure that out, please, don't bother visiting again. You're too dumb to be here. You're probably to dumb to vote. Whether you're too dumb to live is still an open question.

The Real World? Or Is It Big Brother?

Dorothy, a regular reader, writes in:

The Obama campaign has been gathering information on millions of individuals. This story was done in April. How many more have provided information since then?

"Almost 2 million people have entered personal information on Obama pages on social-networking Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace and his campaign's mybarackobama.com, offering home addresses, phone numbers, their views on specific issues and the names of friends...."



"People who provide their information on line may not realize that the data they are posting at mybarackobama.com may have a long afterlife and find its way to other campaigns in future election cycles." 



According to the Obama campaign's online privacy statement, it reserves the right to ``make personal information available to organizations with similar political viewpoints and objectives, in furtherance of our own political objectives.'' 



That last link is to the survey that's sent to people who want to link up with the Obama campaign. It is three pages long. You can't go to pages two and three without filling in page one where one of the questions is how often you attend religious services.

As the article states, because people are providing the information in the privacy of their homes and are doing it voluntarily to someone they trust, they will be more open and honest.

God Knows Everything

Everybody,

I just got an e-mail about the "crooked vagina" reference - which I woke up thinking about this morning - should I take it down? I've decided to leave it because Karine's actions came *very close* to reducing me to a, babbling, homeless person (with a bunch of new medical problems, physical and mental, as unwanted extreme exposure to new wage beliefs can do). A Homeless person whose most intimate functions everyone would get to see anyway. That's part of the reason for the lead quote - the Stalinist show-trial reference - it's "all out there" now:

From the moment she acted in this way - talking to psychics about us, the affair with the homeopath, Robert Wohlfahrt, especially - our "private life" was open to strangers.

That's what cheating is all about. She allowed somebody I didn't know to do something that was, formally, private to us alone. And that, then, lead to friends, the police, lawyers, judges, doctors, and anybody else that became involved somehow, looking into our personal affairs that she - and she alone - decided (wittingly or unwittingly) she was going to "break-up" for her own sexual/emotional/spiritual self-interest. And all with no warning to me. (She was probably going to get Nadia to do it - coward.) Think about it:

Is there anybody that doesn't know what Gavin Newsom did with his best friend's wife?

All my stuff is in storage, now, and I'm possibly going to lose everything - my life's work - because, both, she left me with nothing and I've become so bothered by new wage, and see it, so clearly, now - everywhere - that I can barely hold a job after this deeply-flawed human being got talked into believing she's a God who didn't have to abide by regular attitudes of marriage, morality, or (put more simply) any of the agreements we made together.

Does that make sense?

Let me know, because I don't think - in any of the discussions of divorce, or new wage, I see - such things get addressed, openly, and, to me, that's a crime.

Every married couple, especially, should know what they're facing when they're looking at these topics.

Thanks,

CMC

P.S.

About using her name:

I use the names of all the other "healing" hustledorks - and she's no longer my wife; worthy of, or desiring, my protection - so why not? She saw me on the street and laughed at me (very "sensitive", that) so I say, if she/they, as new wagers, want a world based on such twisted values (exemplified by sneaking up on non-believers and changing the rules with no warning - something never mentioned by Oprah,...) I'll play by those rules (on the blog) until she/they come to the realization that the values I/we were honoring (in my case, for 20 years) were pretty darned good for all involved.

Thanks again. Let me hear what you think.

These are the values of:
