[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Peter Mandellson. Definitely an evil cunt, definitely not stupid (no matter what one of Trumps lot says).

Here's one to get the thread moving: Donald Trump - intelligent or stupid?

Never considered the origin of that turn of phrase before, in fact don't think I've ever used it before, I won't use it again.

But you don't have to be such a passive aggressive wanker about it. Seriously I don't know what it is with you recently but you have become a real tiresome dick a lot of the time.

And how is an Irish person supposed to react to the word?

Look I know your thing at the moment is trying to start pointless fights that disrupt threads, but you will have to find someone else to dance with.

You know nothing. Racist prick.

Trump appoints The Apprentice producer as US special envoy to UK

Mark Burnett, who also created Survivor, Shark Tank and The Voice, lacks diplomatic and foreign policy experience

www.theguardian.com

More huge news for television fans; the multiple Emmy award winning Burnett is to be appointed to the diplomatic role, with zero experience in that area.

He'd have taken Trump if he'd ever been allowed the Dem nomination.

Democratic Party continuing the strategy that has been so successful for it

A recap for those who didn’t follow: earlier this month, 35-year-old AOC launched her bid to become the lead Democrat on the House oversight committee – a crucial minority leadership position. She was competing against 74-year-old Gerry Connolly, a longtime representative from Virginia who was next in line for the job. Connolly, by the way, has esophagus cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Still, his allies have made it very clear they think he has the energy for the job. “Gerry’s a young 74, cancer notwithstanding,” said Virginia Democrat Don Beyer.

The race between AOC and Connolly was broadly seen as not just representing a competition between two people but two different futures for the Democratic party. AOC represented a generational shift: a fresh young face and energetic communicator who represents a more anti-establishment spirit. Connolly was business as usual for the Democrats. For a while, it seemed like AOC had a real shot at winning, but then 84-year-old Nancy Pelosi, recovering in hospital from hip-replacement surgery, reportedly made a bunch of phone calls and urged people to back Connolly. On Tuesday, he won by a vote of 131-84.

Yeah, not their brightest move.

As depressing as it was inevitable.

I mean, I did try a search for the last thread was that remained on track and wasn’t derailed by petty squabbling, but I think it must have been deleted during the Great Cull.

That was the greatest cull in history; the greatest cull by a factor of twenty. Nobody does greater culls than Urban75, not even the marksmen who shoot excess deer in Richmond Park during the Autumn.

Isn't an enlightened us and an unenlightened them unavoidable for any political action. I'm right other people are wrong seems to be built into it. There are better and worse ways of framing it but I don't see a way out of it.

I think these days you can look at it as people who are reachable and unreachable. Increasingly the ‘left’ cannot reach people because there are fewer and fewer channels to do this. Unions severely depleted and not talking much about the bigger picture anyway, newspapers an irrelevance and fully captured by neoliberalism. Social media clamping down on anything other than approved grass roots stuff (the close shave of Corbyn in 2017 forced an algorithm change).

Trestle tables don’t cut it anymore when you’re up against Superbowl ads, heavily promoted YouTube reactionaries and micro-targeted social media campaigns.

Americans want better healthcare, people in the UK want an end to being ripped off by former public utilities etc., but nobody is cutting through the noise with the way to achieve this.

I know this might sound pretentious but you need philosophy and theory to catch up to the mind melting world we live in. “Critical Thought” is still based on older models of production, capital and labour but as you’ve probably noticed we are deep in the belly of the tech revolution where almost all spheres of human life have changed (for better and worse). There are signs of life for sure, Mark Fisher and Byung Chul Han, the resurfacing of Baudrillard. We need detached top down views of just what the fuck is going on. New thought basically, new interpretations.

It's almost like a story from The Onion

And today a missing congressbod was found in a dementia home. The gerontocracy tendency. Everywhere a changing of the guard is refused.

Fucking hell. I didn't know that about Powell. Grim reading.

Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's mentor was a violent paedophile and a racist with deranged views about the lack of intelligence of women. - Village Magazine

I don't want to derail the thread but the Village has for years been peddling clickbait VIP paedophile conspiraloon slash fiction. I don't know about the rest of their output but on this subject they are, in my opinion, completely and utterly unreliable as a source.

Happy to take the article apart on a more appropriate thread if people want but it is IMO garbage.

Enoch is still, needless to say, a dead cunt.

Fair enough. I didn't know that. The reason I posted that article is because it gave more details than other sources. That Powell was named by a Bishop as part of a paedophile ring is true.
