Normalizing Violence

Have you punched a Nazi today? Or even someone with a political vision that differs from yours? Hollywood and the NY Times are down with you! Here is Cara Buckley pretending that political violence is OK if the cause is just:

SAG Awards 2017: Acceptance Speeches Turn Pointedly Political

Any doubts that Hollywood would take sharp aim at President Trump’s immigration order were swiftly vanquished at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night. Amid upsets, winner after winner lashed out at the policy, pleaded for acceptance of differences in a bitterly divided time and, in the case of the cast of “Stranger Things,” adopted the stance of political firebrands.

“We will get past the lies, we will hunt monsters,” said David Harbour, a cast member of the Netflix series, which won for best television drama, as the audience roared its approval. “And when we are lost amid the hypocrisy and casual violence, we will punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the weak and the disenfranchised and the marginalized.”

Well, now. Who among us is not in favor of protecting the weak, the disenfranchised and the downtrodden? I am Batman! But there are a couple of problems - first, Batman was a vigilante and that is not how we like to do things in this country. But perhaps more interestingly, that is not what David Harbour originally wrote, if I can believe the Mediate presentation and my lying ears. Roll the tape [Youtube version here], my emphasis [and I am switching sides here after listening a few more time. My bad. It's easier to hear correctly when NOT reading along, as students of confirmation bias will know.]:

And when we are at a loss amidst the hypocrisy and casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per Chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy what we have envisioned for ourselves and the marginalized.

As written, "what we have envisioned for ourselves" can go well beyond protecting the weak, etc. and can easily encompass all manner of political differences. Perhaps Mr. Harbour envisions stronger gun control, just at a guess, and would like to punch some NRA people in the face. Their policies are getting people killed, amirite?

Of course, Mr. Harbour may not be feeling lucky so NRA backers might be safe, for now anyway. But how does he feel about those pro-lifers limiting a woman's right to choose? Is punching them OK? What about folks who don't want to raise the minimum wage - are they oppressing the weak? Are people who don't favor an amnesty for our undocumented friends from south of the border harming the disenfranchised? Hey, punch 'em out! Per Ms. Buckley, that is merely "the stance" of a "political firebrand".

David Burge, as Iowahawk, had a classic tweet noting masked thugs breaking windows during the Inaugural demonstrations in order to protest the imminent arrival of fascism. Just what sort of threats of political violence would actually prompt the NY Times to express concern? Sorry, silly question. Let me rephrase: just what sort of threats of political violence from the left would actually prompt the NY Times to express concern?

MORE: The Times runs the full speech in the story titled "The Best Speeches from the SAG Awards" with the same quote as above. My guess is that Mr. Harbour, who was clearly reading from a prepared text, had his publicist pass that along but improv'ed the lines in question. Or Mediate had hearing lock. Either way, my current view is that the NY Times quotes are accurate. Other listeners welcome.

JUST WHAT HE WANTED: This is the new political order Mr. Harbour advocated and for which the SAG crowd cheered. From the Portland Airport, a Trump supporter knocked unconscious. Although he may have been sucker-punched in the back of the head, not the face.

As you watch (I say "you" because you won't see ME watching) those Hollywood A**holes patting themselves on their backs, take some solace in this (from Drudge):

[PD]

From the Vanity Fair article:

As they stood there chatting, the screenwriter noticed that a tiny droplet of rain remained on the actor’s shoulder. Politely, as they spoke, he brushed it off. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, an employee from the production’s wardrobe department rushed over to berate him. “That is not your job,” she scolded. “That is my job.”

[Old Lurker]

Another day...another grin:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday that will seek to dramatically pare back federal regulations by requiring agencies to cut two existing regulations for every new rule introduced.

"This will be the biggest such act that our country has ever seen. There will be regulation, there will be control, but it will be normalized control," Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office, surrounded by a group of small business owners.

Trump's latest executive action will prepare a process for the White House to set an annual cap on the cost of new regulations, a senior official told reporters ahead of the signing.

For the rest of fiscal 2017, that cap on new regulations would be $0, the official said on customary condition of anonymity."

Buccaneer, if you've come over here, I just saw that comment about the Moroccan Jews on a comment at a link I'd followed from another link. I was probably a little quick off the mark, but I don't want the vicious, vile left to have any kind of propaganda moment.

As I was saying Joan there's something wrong when you attack any house of worship, but that rule isn't observed in Syria or Yemen, its acceptable in Germany to attack synagogues, they block out an instance in some other German town to assault a cathedral.

[hrtshpdbox]

Anyone see that dummy Dick Durbin on one of the shows yesterday, promising he'd be happy to consider any "moderate" that the president might nominate to the Court? How many moderates did Obama offer up?

Meanwhile dummies on our side of the aisle, i.e. McCain and Graham, think it's just awful that the president is doing what he said he would do. I read some nonsense from Time magazine this morning, celebrating that Republicans are abandoing ship and in a tizzy about what's going on; what Time doesn't mention, though, is that all of those people were never on the ship in the first place.

I support allowing legitimate political refugees who bode us no ill will entry into the U.S.; I think humanitarian efforts are a responsibility we must assume. But President Trump's immigration EO doesn't preclude that from happening, in due time - safety first, America first. Going into the ninth day, I haven't seen one action from this administration that I even remotely disagree with. I'd love to hear that the next EO supports profiling travelers in an attempt to nab the bad guys, the way Israel does it.

[Buckeye]

The idea that the left will make much progress with this "punch some people in the face" meme is simply laughable.

Bubba thinks that when they say things like "seek to destroy the weak and the disenfranchised and the marginalized” it describes his situation almost perfectly.

I don't support any immigration until we have absorbed the number flooding in here the past decade or two -- it was a 'take my breath away' moment yesterday as I watched one tv report that over 300,000 ME were arriving on our shores just yesterday. Honestly? 300,000 every day for a month or so adds up. I wonder how many we'd see if that continues ad nauseam?

And, I think that guy at the leftist SAG awards is a bloated, hypocritical moron. They are hypocrites.

Joan the 300K figure is not refugees but plane travelers. That includes all people coming into the country including citizens. Out of 300K some less than 1000 were detained.

A bit more on Trump coming to Milwaukee on Thursday. Maybe he will do an EO on govt unions or something while Schumer is freaked about the SC pick.

Speaking of GOPe.

Wonder how long they think they can hide behind the rocks before it occurs to them to start supporting the objectives of the voters who elected Trump?

I do not think they have any idea how little we care about the antics of Schumer and Warren and Durbin and the rest since that is just exactly what we expected of them.

But if the followers of Ryan and McConnell think that they can avoid our wrath for long, I pray they are sadly mistaken, and that the pain, when they feel it, is intense.

MM, soon I hope Trump ends every such video opportunity with a request that, if you like what you see, contact your Republican member and tell them we need a cabinet and legislative action to match our goals.

And "yesterday", not at some distant date in the future, maybe.

BTW, one of those clips from Ryan last week, speaking from the taxpayer funded "retreat" for those hardworking politician, suggested that as soon as they get back from this vacation, they will tackle some of the other things they hope they might have maybe by the time of their "August Vacation" (OK, he said "Recess"). You know when you pencil in this break and that break, while getting ready for the longer breaks, wowza is it difficult to make things happen. Donchaknow.

I am happy that he moved up the SC announcement as I predicted somewhere yesterday (maybe here). I didn't expect prime time, but that's even better.

Imagine Trump deciding to enjoy a comfortable life, not running. Imagine, say, Jeb winning the nom. Would the GOP still exist? Hillary would be extending Prog policies at warp speed and cementing SCOTUS. May or may not involve conscious thought but GOPe depends on the People not being able to replace them while simultaneously resisting the Dem agenda.

Oh, really? This guy sez it won't matter:

http://nypost.com/2017/01/29/why-the-supreme-court-fight-is-sure-to-go-nuclear/

However, Reid left one exception when he altered the rules: the Supreme Court. So while Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell might abhor trashing tradition, he might have no choice but to use his power to end the filibuster altogether.

Unless he can persuade eight Democrats to back Trump’s SCOTUS nominee while keeping all 52 Republicans in line, McConnell will have to go nuclear.

Looks like the Searchlight Pederast left the Dems in a bit of a pickle. We'll see if McTurtle has the stones.

OL,

No Rules Committee in the Senate. Majority leader runs everything and makes the rules. This will be a Mitch moment as to how he handles filibuster and cloture. He is going to need all his members including the RINO's (you know who they are) plus at least 8 Dems.

I think a guy like Machin may come over, then you have to get 7 more, likely from those states Trump won and are up for re-election in 2018.

he Lone Ranger's Last Request

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured
by an enemy Indian War Party.

The Indian Chief proclaims,

"So, YOU are the great Lone Ranger"...

"In honor of the Harvest Festival,

YOU will be executed in three days."

"Before O kill you, I grant you three requests"

"What is your FIRST request?'

The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd
like to speak to my horse."

The Chief nods and Silver is brought
before the Lone Ranger who whispers in
Silver's ear, and the horse gallops away.

Later that evening, Silver returns with
a beautiful blonde woman on his back.

As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger's tent and spends the night.

The next morning the Indian Chief admits he's impressed.

"You have a very fine and loyal horse",

"But I will still kill you in two days."

"What is your SECOND request?"

The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse.

Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse's ear.
As before, Silver takes off and disappears over the horizon.

Later that evening, to the Chief's surprise, Silver again returns,
this time with a voluptuous brunette, more attractive than the blonde.
She enters the Lone Rangers tent and spends the night.

The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed.
"You are indeed a man of many talents,"
"But I will still kill you tomorrow."

"What is your LAST request?"

The Lone Ranger responds, "I'd like to speak to my horse...alone."

The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger's tent.

Once they're alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says,

"Listen Very Carefully!!! FOR...THE...LAST...TIME...

"BRING POSSE!"
