Poignant in tragedy:

...[A]ll those who cared for, counseled and even incarcerated...

Imagine today.

Had no idea.


Exercise routine.

Several interesting nuggets.

tThis is apt, even it can't fit into a fortune cookie for addled SJW's.

Facebook, in fact, is the biggest surveillance-based enterprise in the history of mankind.

Maybe, or maybe not. Does anyone think Trump truly cares at this point? Does anyone imagine he understands what this means to people? Could anyone believe he feels any debt or loyalty to his voters, and the promises he made to them?

I'd glanced at this SSC essay before, but had forgotten how it illuminates different facets of the SJW mentality:

…I think it’s fair to say you only earn the right to call yourself ‘forgiving’ if you forgive things that genuinely hurt you.

To borrow Chesterton’s example, if you think divorce is a-ok, then you don’t get to “forgive” people their divorces, you merely ignore them. Someone who thinks divorce is abhorrent can “forgive” divorce. You can forgive theft, or murder, or tax evasion, or something you find abhorrent.

MagaWinning! He's actually compassionate!

This would be a great time for one of Raddy's comments about how Trump has a lot of money and a great haircut and is omnicompetent and is therefore the best one to serve the American voters.

I'd read Father Brown years ago and enjoyed him. It's only recently, after re-reading some of the stories, that I've realized how philosophical Chesterton made him.

I caught an episode of the PBS rebroadcast of the mostly white bread and vanilla British television show based on the character and that rekindled my interest. The show does a disservice to the depth of Chesterton's writing. Still, it tries to be faithful to GKC's ideals, at least within the context of a television show that's mostly Murder She Wrote with an accent.

I also liked the reference to Freud's narcissism of small differences. Ol' Sigmund seems much-maligned these days, but he knew a thing or two about human nature.

I think Trump cares only about Trump. That's become pretty clear.

Johnny McCain, hardest hit.

"This would be a great time for one of Raddy's comments..."

This would be a great time for you to look back at your posts about pensions, and realize that you have ample opportunity for shame.

Looking at the sheer number of comments you've made, though, I hasten to add that I am not asking you to post less, as this seems to be an important part of your life. Just quit adding your own spin to things others say.

Cheers!

What the goram hell is this?

Parents of high school teenagers were outraged this weekend after dozens of their children were ordered to undergo forced blood and alcohol tests because officials found a beer can under the stadium during a football game. As parents tried to refuse the tests, they were told their children would be suspended for noncompliance.

And they could have raised more money by passing the hat amongst themselves...

Move along folks. Nothin' to see here. Just some withheld e-mails, sloppy handling of classified material, and favors for political donors. You can go back to bashing Trump now.

In the 32 years I have lived in this great country, I have never once actively fought racism. I have simply used my own example as evidence of its utter stupidity and moved forward with absolute metaphysical confidence, knowing that the ability of other people to name or label me has no power over my self-esteem, my mind, my judgment, and—above all—my capacity to liberate myself through my own efforts.

1. I insist that since you have a choice you make the best one you can.
   
   
2. Just quit adding your own spin to things others say.

This rhetoric always has the tone of an isolated child... As if you're just certain that if you could bust through this fog of disrespect and disinterest which silly grownups have set wafting around you, and you could rilly get others to listen to what you say, then the sheer, hammering logic of your perspective would end all the arguments.

And until then, all you can do is dream of taking control.




But it's never going work out, okay? And the problem is not merely that others disagree with you. The problem is that you're wrong... Others need not hesitate to explain how.

Welcome to adulthood. Even now, keep your hands to yourself, and quit screeching in the back seat.

As well you ought.

Okay, let's survey Twitter's thoughts about Trump today:

And while this is not a DACAwall tweet, the illustration set me to thinking of our self-described "racist," Snoopy:

For reasons to complicated to explain, I hereby affirm that the famous meme photo wouldn't have been such a big hit if the women were 5% more attractive or looked even a little less like each other.

Popularity is a game of nuance.

Well, now Trump gets a D- from me. I'm sure Snoopy will find some reason to keep him at least at B+. Thanks again, Crid.

Anyhow, just look at what our global elites have in store for us:

Internal Combustion: If You Can’t Beat ’Em… Ban ’Em!

These people are sick, depraved, decadent and delusional, but that doesn't stop 'em! Decades of psychological therapy will not undo such ideological rigidity and secular-state-religion fervor, either.

Best example you'll ever see.

That name tag still cracks me up.

Hillary Clinton demonstrates alternate-nostril breathing.

What a Caesar she could have been.

She was gonna hex Donald Trump but, darn it, she's a journalist with morals.

So she'll just be satisfied with the three people she killed by magic incantation and no more.

Hillary wants New York and Los Angeles to pick the President from now on.

I'll give Trump that B+ Mpetrie98. Snoopy probably gives him an A++.

Golly! Twitter & the blogs are all red hats on fire.

Maybe you guys is just especially lonely.

Thinking out loud here.

He cut you loose, he so cut you loose. He's vain, oblivious and unprincipled. Drudge doesn't even say anything about it because Nork missiles are flying again.

The Donald Trump Presidency, built on a wall and red baseball cap.

You need to turn of the twitter feed and go outside Crid. Don't you live in LA or something. You actually have nice weather there. Talk to some people. Have a beer and play some games. It would do wonders for your high blood pressure.

No; not now. This part, your inevitable disappointment and humiliation, is the candy.

Now is it you, or Snoopy, or some other bloggy spud, who's so desperate to be admired for prognostication? No matter...

🌟 ★ ☆ → TOLD YOU SO. ← ☆ ★ 🌟

You elected Donald Trump as President of the United States. You consciously, explicitly wanted Donald Trump to be President of the United States.

Your tears are briny and fulfilling.

Kaus is pissed in an unsurprised and articulate way. Anne Coulter's howling. MAGA types are fuming, Breitbart's website is kicking out many angry columns, and this is just a special, special time.

What tears Crid? I'm mostly happy with Trump. I just gave the guy a B+. Seriously, has anyone come to you with these tears you so loudly and repeatedly exclaim you don't want and yet are delicious. Are you worried you'll get fat on them?

It's kinda cute that as his grotesque small-mindedness becomes apparent to all, you want people to stop paying attention.

At this point, go ahead and eat that candy, Crid. If Trump continues the way he seems to be going, I will serve you some candy myself on a silver platter.

(As I voted for him myself, I find it especially incumbent upon me to judge his performance objectively with open eyes. The illegals will come now, the wall may come later, don'tcha know.)

I want people to stop paying attention? From what pile of BS did you pull that one out of Crid?

> turn of the twitter feed
> and go outside

Quibble if you want.

Ah! I can see you taking it like that Crid. I was just worried about your health. I also thought interacting with real people instead of one liners would give you a wider perspective.
