Another Russian Spy Outed!

Hmm, so Roger Stone and Julian Assange both appeared on this guys's radio show and the host later served as a go-between?

NOT the plot twist I was looking for, although the talk show host/Mayoral candidate/hiding in plain sight cover is clever.

Nemesis and Hubris are two of my favorite Greek words. Hubris, overweened arrogance, the pride that destroys. Nemesis, swift winged avenger for those guilty of hubris. A combined concept I put right up there with the Gods of the Copybook Headings.

In our day and age we do not spend enough time thinking about the concepts that should assist in directing our lives. To our detriment as a society we focus on fast foods, talking heads, thirty second sound bites and immediate gratification. When we lost our religion we lost shame as a motivating factor @nd we lost our moral compass. We believe when we are told that men can be women and vice versa. We fail to identify the Twoheys in the world.

I'm moving this over, because throwing mud, then trying to gaslight the people who point out you are throwing mud, and insulting them by implying they are intolerant synchophants is so not "making a mild criticism."

So true. All I did was offer mild criticism of a single facet of VDH's opinions and then all hell broke loose.

No, that is not what you did.
You name called, labelled HIM, and you were wrong. That's why what resulted, resulted.

Go back and read your post that triggered it. I did, before I initially responded, then twice more as things unfolded. to be sure I had taken it correctly.

Someone (JNC?) asked me on the last page where the "petty as they are" VDH quote was from.
Tk wrote;
Here is a quote from yesterday by NeverTrumper Lite VDH

Voters may say that they find Trump puerile and repellent while in private enjoying that he is as petty as they are and hits back at those who long ago needed a smack. That disconnect could explain why polls are now less relevant and why those who voted for Trump can fudge and mislead about their politics more than Trump himself does. Trump’s take-no-prisoners style may serve some people’s vicarious need to push back against the progressive trajectory of the country, in a way that voting for a Cruz or a Rubio in the primary did not.

I guess I'm a petty deplorable for applauding Trump's jab at the intern killer.

I enjoy how VDH invokes the two ineligible candidates as the benchmark for the proper battle against the progressive trajectory as opposed to what "some people's vicarious needs" have wrought.

VDH is the king of the backhanded compliment.

Posted by: Threadkiller | November 29, 2017 at 09:48 AM

Where the quote is from I don't know and how people want to characterize TK's comment about it is up to them. I think he has a point that is getting lost in the #nevertrumperlight argument. I wouldn't call VDH that but he does seem to hold his nose occasionally at the company he keeps on the Trump train.

[Miss Marple]

Good morning!

Tomorrow the electricians come and I will have my computer working again! Hurray!

I was reading th end of the last thread and want to say that it was me (quoting my sister) who said that Trump knows things.

Besides having luxury hotels and golf courses where employees would overhear things, he attended a lot of social events where he was a non-drinker in a room full of people drinking and letting their mouths run. And let me remind you guys, he spent 13 seasons making The Apprentice on Mat Lauer's network, NBC.

When I read his book he described how he evaluated the properties he bought, and it was by walking the. Neighborhoods and talking to the shopkeepers and other tenants, cab drivers, etc. it is not the nconceivable that he gleaned a lot of information free m make-up girls, lighting. Technicians, etc, He wouldn't discard information later or that, as he illustrated in his book,

I also consider him heroic. He risked everything to go for the presidency. The Clinton's planned to destroy him when they won, as a lesson to others who might gut challenge them. They will panned to destroy his business, his family, and probably imprison him for the rest of his life. I consider this a very high form of sacrifice. Apparently Mattis does, too, or he wouldn't have signed on.

Whew. That is a lot of phone typing! I need more coffee!,

Anonamom at 7:16: precisely. I pointed out that disrupting the academic world is exactly what is being attempted with this. I might get unfriended by some people for stating that.

I am a petty Trump supporter and proud of it. I am perfectly happy to have the “holier than thou” set eating crow daily, and I enjoy the jabs the President makes since I’m not courageous enough to say it myself.

[anonamom]

Ig, had TK simply pointed that out, without the erroneous labelling, that is what would have been discussed.
Or not, if people agreed with his take.
But that is not what he did, is it?

(And I think everyone who has read VDH for a while knows he puts himself in the "fallen man" category, so he well may including himself in that "voter" term. He certainly described just about every single POTUS supporter I know, myself included. And even a number of NeverTrumpers/GOPe's I still have to interact with!
Me, petty???---sure, at times.)

I'm not going to fault anyone here for not tolerating gratuitous (and erroneous) name calling.

Ig, I read what you call "gratuitious lines" as his attempt to reach out to the (what are they??) who, based on "Trump's style and supporters", were (still ARE!) willing to let this war be won by the evil doers.

Maybe because it was only recently that I didn't preface most of my statements of support with "he wasn't my first choice--or my 16th" in "mixed company, if I felt compelled to try to educate the closed-minded. Trying to establish that I'm not white supremacist or whatever.

This is why they fired him in less than 24 hours, rather than let him resign:

In 2001, the woman said, Mr. Lauer, who is married, asked her to his office to discuss a story during a workday. When she sat down, she said, he locked the door, which he could do by pressing a button while sitting at his desk. (People who worked at NBC said the button was a regular security measure installed for high-profile employees.)

The woman said Mr. Lauer asked her to unbutton her blouse, which she did. She said the anchor then stepped out from behind his desk, pulled down her pants, bent her over a chair and had intercourse with her. At some point, she said, she passed out with her pants pulled halfway down. She woke up on the floor of his office, and Mr. Lauer had his assistant take her to a nurse.

The woman told The Times that Mr. Lauer never made an advance toward her again and never mentioned what occurred in his office.

[Jane - not "in"]

He has spent a good deal of time trying to educate the NRO crowd on the subject.

Iggy,

Please let me get this off my chest because it is the thing that bugs me the most at JOM. You don't have a clue about VDH's motives, or anyone at NR. Every time I read something like that involving someone who I actually know (not well) I want to reply with something like: "Your brother showed up at Thanksgiving because he knew you had bigger secrets".

There is no way I could know why someone I don't know does something, and it is particularly insulting because you do know that person.

Speculation doesn't offend me in the least, but the habit here is to declare motive as true when you have no idea or evidence.

And it certainly is not just you. Hell I probably have done it as well. And if you do it about people I don't know, I'm just fine with it.

Anyway, I'm venting about something that has bothered me for a long time, and usually arises when it concerns the people at NR. Many of who I disagree with, but would never ascribe the motives to them many here do, because I know them.

I don't want a fight, I just wanted to explain my angst. Please forgive me.

[Threadkiller]

TK, VDH is a farmer, third or fourth generation, central CA. The root of his strong "legal immigrants only" stance. I suspect he is every bit if not more in touch with that "Chic Fil A crowd" as anyone who posts here.

I think like most of us here, he had somebody besides DJT he hoped to see as POTUS. I don't recall him ever opposing Trump, though his was one of the names on the cover of the infamous NRO "Never Trump" edition, so there is that. And I never read a word of it.

CH, Steyn is a treasure:

Where the crabs come sweepin' down the plain...

But then the white man came and now the Oklahoma crab is extinct, and at the Cherokee clambakes they have to make do with Mrs. Warren's traditional Five Tribes recipe for Cherokee Lime Pie

President Trump is absolutely right to mock Warren. It's the only appropriate response to her.

[Threadkiller]

Hahaha! He also calls her "Dances with Clams."

Hahahahaha!

[Threadkiller]

For the record, I read that quote from iggy completely differently than jane did.

[James D.]

Jane @ 8:46

Everything you say is true. But here's the flip side:

99% of their audience doesn't know them, except through the public face they choose to present through what they write in their articles and say on their TV/video/radio appearances.

They are professional communicators, and I think it's fair to assume that, as such, they understand that the specific language they use, the tone they adopt, and the subjects they choose to address (or not address), all work to create an image - an image of their own choosing. If they don't want readers/viewers to assign suspicious motives to them, it's in their power to write/speak more clearly, to explain themselves better, or to alter their tone and use of language so as to put forth a different public face.

[Old Lurker]

Jane, I understand your pain but I think you are falling into exactly the trap that has enabled so many bad things to go on for so long, especially in DC and NYC and LA. Through overlapping circles, I too have cocktail party exposure to some of the biggest creeps in DC, and I must say that in those settings it is easy to forget that in their day jobs they are the enemy of everything I believe because in a social setting they come across as "just like us". Add in sharing schools for our children, or our churches on Sunday, and the line is even fuzzier.

So while it looks different "up close and personal", for the distance of JOM it is hard for many of us to give anybody at NRO an automatic pass for not being one with our enemy, and it is absolutely fair to take a code word or phrase as evidence against them. As professional communicators and opinion shapers, all of those people generally know exactly what they are doing and whom they are courting.

Inside the safety of the JOM tent, we can be and are brutal with each other especially when, for whatever reason, one of us looks at a person and his actions through some lens not unlike those on the left use to ignore all the bad things done by their stars. So we snap at you when your knowledge of what NRO people are like as people, just as we snap at MM for never ever seeing a way Trump might have goofed, or how Maryrose through her immense and admirable ability to see and hope for the best in (idiots like) Paul Ryan...and on and on and on.

I arrived at a place where I can chuckle and kid MM for sounding like a groupie, or Maryrose for sounding like Rodney King, or you for defending people with whom you have a bond the others do not have. In return, I know for sure that my friends here cut me the same sort of slack when "there he goes again".

Relax. Enjoy!

I took Ig's comment to be a tale of two readers. The NRO Crowd and The Chick-fil-A Crowd, and VDH's true noble effort is to try to sway the NRO Crowd more so than knock the Chick-fil-A Crowd.

[Robin, 10 Square Miles...yadda, yadda]

I am a longtime Ricochet podcast listener, and they are affiliated with the NR crew in that they share a podcast channel and serve as guests on each other’s shows. While I’m sure the NR people are good people who care deeply about the country, their behavior towards Trump supporters on the podcasts has been so vile that I quit listening to all but the flagship podcast, and I’m seriously considering giving that one up as well.

I do miss Jonah Goldberg’s TV recommendations, and John Podhoretz’s cultural commentary, but as they cannot contain their impulse to toss insults towards the deplorables, I have to find other sources.

Jane you are being too thin skinned. Anybody paid to write and publish is fair game for his readers to think what his agenda might be. Sharing that thought with JOM is what JOM is about...and receiving those insights and suspicions from posters we have come to know is valuable since none of us sees every trick for what it is on first reading.

And while the parenthetical "(not you)" lets me off the hook, your 9:19 is offensive in its quickness to label a poster stupid, or willing to say the poster was choosing to be stupid by choice.

All you had to say is "I know VDH and do not believe he intended to XXX." If you had wanted to go further, you might have said "I know VDH and do not believe he intended XXX, but I see how some might jump to that conclusion."

[Miss Marple]

Old Lurker,

I know I sound like a groupie. Earlier this morning I posted some things I was dubious about regarding the President, to prove that my mind isn't completely gone. (The amnesia thing is frightening me, as now when I can't remember where I put something or a name escapes me, I get scared that my mind is going.)

I don't often post criticisms here or anywhere on line for one reason: I believe web sites are scoured by the left to provide information for avenues of attack. I have followed that policy since the Bush43 administration. I saw too many complaints about Bush on Free Republic show up in attack articles in places like Newsweek and the NYT.

This is perhaps self-important and possibly paranoid thinking, but that is how I operate.

President Trump has his failings, as do all mortal men. I choose not to list them here but I am sure others would be able to list a few. I rarely will do so.

To make you feel better, here is one: I think he is unwise to keep touting the high value of the current stock market, which is bound to go down eventually.

[Old Lurker]

MM "To make you feel better, here is one: I think he is unwise to keep touting the high value of the current stock market, which is bound to go down eventually."

I used to think that too, but I came to suspect he is doing it on purpose so he "owns the downside" when that happens and it will. And he knows it will. But then he is positioned to lay that off on not only the D's, but the jerks like McConnell, Ryan, Rubio, McCain and all the other U-R's.

I can see the 2020 posters now: "Clean out the stables in DC of the Uniparty, fill it with people who want to MAGA, and we will recover that half of your Retirement Account you lost when Bitcoin exploded the market in 2019 and then take your wealth to new heights! Give me a team!"

He probably should be more cautious about retweeting stuff that hasn't been verified, like those "Britain First" videos.
