So you note that garbage is garbage! Cultivate that instinct and apply it to the debates over health care reform and the response to the 2008 financial crisis. Very little distance was sought from that shitshow. I guess needs must when worse fuckers drive.

BTW: that factor is why I mostly keep HRC-related discussion limited to this thread instead of the other place. It ain’t top-secret here, but it is low-profile.
Outbound messaging goes over there, working out my thoughts goes here.
Partynamics is diffnt now. The same could be said now of the plutocrats versus (not versus, really) slavers.
(Not versus considering the people in the dev. world being bombed and murdered in the service of elites’ need for unacknowleged slave-ish labor.)

Russians stirring the pot again:
Where is this? What is happening?
It is treated much in the same way as objectivists treat Atlas Shrugged, but for he next generation of male fragility. As satire it sort of fails at the fundamental aspect of satire.

He fucks off Sanders good and proper, but I have a white guy response: you know the rich have been playing us off each other… for centuries… and I’m not a snowflake for solidarity, but 1/8 needs the rest of us. So call out the super-rich and acknowlege those who do, and those who do that in more than soundbites.
That’s my only critisism. Apart from that this was good.
Don’t know, don’t care.
Masha’s Rule #3, unfortunately.
Slate’s Political Gabfest was utterly catastrophic this week; pure quisling. They may as well just hang a swastika over the door and be done with it.
Also:
Portland, Oregon.
Nazi rally, antifa out in opposition, cops attacking antifa. Same as usual.
There are reports of police using stun grenades; the bang may have been one of those.
It’s nice to be agreeable. 
I don’t think that the neoliberal leadership are going to bend, BTW. They’ll continue with their counterproductive bullshit until they die.
Fortunately, they have very little real support. A high percentage of Dem voters were voting defensively, without much enthusiasm for the party. That was the case even before Trump.
It’s the anniversary of the Pinochet coup today, BTW.

Yes, that was fucking dangerous.

This is what I’ve been saying. Folks aren’t going to tolerate this crap for much longer.

Regardless of how shitty it is for everyone, Equifax may be another one of these. Nothing alarms middle-class folks like threatening their credit.
Some sanity survives at Slate:

I think I may have already posted this upthread, but I just found the lyrics.
Written for Katrina, but rather appropriate for now.
I think BLM etc are well aware of the need for allies. And it looks like the DSA are building bridges, and the anarchist left is working with the DAPL folks.
For clarity, that’s Vancouver, WA USA, not Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Not that the bigger Vancouver is without it’s problems and FSM knows as a country we are so far from perfect, we can’t even see it, but the make-up of the two cities is substantially different.
I’m half surprised that I haven’t yet seen a piece from the liberal media criticising antifa “vandalism” and suppression of “free speech” because they tear down nazi posters.
Back on the topic of Yglesian wit…
