Oh, you poor country mouse. Of _course_ they’ll still wield that cudgel. Because when _THEY_ do it, they’ll have a different word for it. ---

> [@Airbeck](#): > > I know, but they keep using that phrase as a cudgel against the left, so I was just clarifying that they will no longer be doing that? Of course. They also use “Sharia Law”, the epitome of conservative values, as a cudgel against the left. Makes no sense. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > WH Counselor Kellyanne Conway to reporter Andrew Feinberg who asked about Trump’s racist tweets: “What’s your ethnicity?” > > (video) [https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1151175905110351873?s=19](https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1151175905110351873?s=19) Personally, I’m more appalled at the ignorance and utter stupidity of Trump’s tweetstorm than the racism. Trump is more willfully ignorant than the most backwoods hermit and utterly incapable of learning, and yet is surrounded by infinite sources of knowledge. He managed to get elected on pure bluster, so as far as he’s concerned, he can stay as dumb as a doorknob and still be president. As long as spineless Repubs keep voting the party line for fear of losing their own re-election bids, he doesn’t need to raise his IQ by a single point, even if it does double it. ---

“When you’re a celebrity they let you do it. I don’t even ask.” This morning NBC released a 1992 video showing Trump and Epstein ogling women and laughing at Mar-a-Lago. At one point in the video, Trump grabs a passing woman around the waist and pats her butt.

You can see him give a little nod while they’re chanting. McCarthy’s “defense” (that Trump didn’t join in) is utterly inane. Trump never joins in the chants. Doesn’t matter if they’re “lock her up” or any other hateful thing. He just stands there doing his best Mussolini impression, chest out, gazing around. Interesting that Trump caved on this, though. Someone with power must have told him to do so. (A Koch? A Vlad? Hmmm…) ---

Of course he doesn’t join in. When has the deity ever joined in the worship of itself? Anyway, he’s encouraging vile behavior. I guess that’s an improvement over the beginning of his endless round of campaign rallys, when he started the vile chanting. > [@](#): > > Doesn’t matter if they’re “lock her up” or any other hateful thing.

The soap opera Days of Our Lives has been running a story line about a Chinese girl who’s in the country illegally. The right wing candidate for mayor based his campaign on getting her out of the country. At one of his rallies, his supporters chanted “Send her back”. Not only were those scenes shown two months ago, but Days of Our Lives shoots eight months in advance, so the story was being shot almost a year ago. ---
