Brazil's Bolsonaro says Trump called to wish him luck

From the Mighthy Q:

Like James Alex Fields Jr., the alleged Charlottesville car-attack killer, and Cesar Sayoc, the hate-addled bodybuilder and status hound who’s been charged with mailing pipe bombs to Democrats this month, Bowers was a confused, pathetic failure looking to blame his problems on others.

But in the age of Trump, it’s hard not to suspect that a seemingly deranged hate criminal is actually channeling something more universal than his own inner demons.

Two whiles... Sorry. But still.

These people are just sad assholes. It's not complicated.

And they'd still have been sad assholes with Hillary, Gary, or Jill in the White House.

“No limit to the wordplay”?
For you, maybe. Trump is a symptom, not the disease: the modern decay of citizens into consumers, concerned only with instant gratification, shouting, “Me! Me! Me!”, offended any time they don’t GET what THEY want.

Tweet? Post in FB? Whattaya mean, that doesn’t make me important?

And who’s doing this wordplay, anyway? Would it be those who blame the President for violence?

Would it be those who don’t understand what the result of election means, shouting for a “do over!” as if magic will occur?

Of course.

This is fantastic, especially the Ecce Homo.

> And who’s doing this wordplay, anyway?

You. Like that

I'm honestly asking here Crid, are you serious? If it was Gog I'd know. But with just letters it's not possible to tell if you are making a joke or are serious in what you wrote.

Also, I want Girl with a Pearl Earring for sex. I always have.

Nothing to gain? would you like to reconsider your statements, dear Senators?

"You had absolutely nothing to gain by bringing these facts to the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Sen. Dick Durbin said during her testimony last month. This sentiment was echoed by other Democrats, who presented it as evidence that Ford was telling the truth. "I want to thank you,” added California Sen. Kamala Harris, “because you clearly have nothing to gain for what you have done."

And this is a surprise?

The same Voxers who had long rationalized, romanticized, and excused the Jew-killing terror organization of the Middle East were now blaming the existence of the evil, anti-Semitic Pittsburgh shooter on Republicans. The same Pod bros whose echo chamber deployed anti-Semitic dual-loyalty tropes to smear critics of the Iran deal were now incredibly concerned about the Jewish community.

Sometimes, you learn a lot by doing and failing. Maybe she'll stop with the soy-boys.

As his words lingered, I felt a combination of shock and curiosity, as if encountering a species previously thought extinct. I knew there were men who believed they should be in charge of money. The shock came from encountering one who readily admitted it.

But he already had made clear he believed in traditional gender roles. With sex, too, he had said, “I’m the man. I want to lead.”

I found his bluntness surprising but also alluring. He was confident in his desires.

Nina Teicholtz on the state of sloppy science in regards to diet.

A spectacular case of sloppy science came crashing to a close last month. Cornell University’s Brian Wansink, a world-renowned scientist who seized headlines with his research on American eating habits, had many of his papers retracted and resigned from his professorship. Wansink’s fall is not just the tale of a single scientist gone astray. It is, instead, an indictment of an entire type of nutrition science that has led to mistaken dietary advice dispensed to Americans for decades.

The Pittsburgh shooter hated Trump, and claimed Trump is controlled by the Jews.

As I've predicted, leftist violence is increasing and will continue to increase.

If you blame anti-Semitism on Trump, or on a political party, you’re historically illiterate.

Trump has been the most pro-Jewish president in decades:

* recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital
* moved the embassy to Jerusalem
* deported a real Nazi
* appointed many Jews to leading positions
* cut aid to Palestinian groups
etc.

Good piece here, written before the Pittsburgh shooting -

From the NY Times article

“You initiated?” he said, mildly incredulous.
His other beliefs I had sensed and anticipated, but given our sexual compatibility, I hadn’t expected him to believe a woman shouldn’t initiate sex.

Is that what he meant? Or was it he found it hard to believe a man with her would never initiate?

I'm guessing he dumped her because of her lies, men will put up with a lot of shit for even marginal sex and a ho hum relationship, but a lack of respect aint one of them

"You. Like that"

Congratulations. That's the shortest Trump-related post you've written since the election.

Brevity isn't the soul of your wit, your prose often unfolding like a flower, but your anger has sapped you of style and grace.

Meanwhile, criminal after criminal can beat, stab and shoot others, claim "Trump made me do it" and those who would shift blame from themselves at any cost will chant that.

Aha. So this is why Twitter hasn't banned Nick Monroe:

Your critique is important! I care for your feelings and perceptions! Your perspective is valuable to others!

Raddy, these are your people and this is your moment, okay? Like Comrade Snooples likes to say, "War!" It's the age of the Social-Media-Empowered Fuckwit! Hodgkinson, Sayac, Bowers... That's the team, babe! As your daddy Tyrell once put it, Revel in your time!

How to sell a lie:

Related, the reason people buy Mother Earth News and all the other homesteading magazines is because it gives them enough data to give their dreams a patina of realism. Same reason Lucas Films puts greebles and exhaust marks on spaceships.

Doesn't make them real.

From Annie's resentful sulk to Hank's barrel-like build, it has been done before, and with historical accuracy.

When those kids are grown, I want to drink at their weddings.

"Your critique is important! I care for your feelings and perceptions! Your perspective is valuable to others!"

It is - just not to you. You might notice that I'm not the only one making this observation.
Go read your own posts from 10 years ago. You'll wonder who is using your handle today.

"Raddy, these are your people and this is your moment, okay?"

Ah, yet another try to tell others what they think.

Nope. My people don't blame others when they shoot people, and they try not to in the first place. We don't beat up Sanders supporters and then claim they made me do it by supporting Sanders. This idea may be foreign to you, but I'm sure it will come to you with study.
