I find that picture strangely arousing.

So did he.

I’m interested in and worried by the Republicans’ increasing use of language like ‘Radical’ ‘hardline left wing’ ‘Socialist’ about the Democrats. Obviously it’s kinda laughable given how not-any-of-those-things the Democrats are, but we know all of this language is used by campaigners with a purpose, especially with social media, and I wonder what the endgame is here? Could it be to make mainstream among Republican supporters the view that the Dems are ‘Unamerican’ and supporting them is ‘traitorous’?

WAPO had an article about this recently, tracing the rhetoric back 90 years, but i can't link to it b/c paywall.

That is surreal.

But I think it's going to be nuclear-grade this time round, they seem to be turning the rhetoric up to 11.

Smugglers Are Using $100 Hardware Store Power Tools to Saw Holes in Trump’s $10 Billion Wall

Turns out, the wall is working about as well as can be expected, which is not that well. The Washington Post reports that smugglers have basically modified your standard issue cordless power tool that you could find at your local hardware store to saw through the new portions of the wall in just minutes. Border agents told the Post that after the smugglers slice through the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards, they are able to push the steel through, creating a passageway big enough to fit humans and drugs.

“Because the bollards are so tall—and are attached only to a panel at the very top—their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling,” engineers consulted by the Post said. The smugglers are then able to replace the cut out portion of the bollard in order to avoid detection, allowing them to reuse the hole. Almost, you know, like that ancient foil of walls everywhere: a door.

Border officials say some of these intrusions have occurred in areas where electronic sensors designed to detect vibrations from sawing have not yet been installed. Border agents have taken to scanning for chinks in the wall and kicking it with their boots. These same officials also point out that “the wall” was never intended to be the only line of defense, that well-funded crime syndicates adapt. “The smuggling crews have been using other techniques, such as building makeshift ladders to scale and overtop the barriers, especially in the popular smuggling areas in and around San Diego,” nearly a dozen U.S. agents and current and former administration officials told the Post. Ladders, you say. You might be wondering: why haven’t we adapted? Walls are easy to explain.

in other news, democrats flipped both houses of the VA state govt, and the governor of KY, a trump acolyte and an odious piece of work by all accounts, lost, despite a campaign visit monday from the great man himself (tho it is very close as of now).

They really got all decked out for the occasion.

Kinda reminds me of sports fans who get into their team colours.

I'm puzzled.

Why shouldn't Mr and Mrs Black be allowed to show they are bigots their undying support for Trump by wearing a t-shirt?

John Oliver should win an Emmy for this, with a nod or two to Monty Python.

NSFW:



Some background on this, they mentioned this guy on the show a couple of years ago and were slapped with a frivolous lawsuit, which HBO just won.

The moral of this story is don't mess with comedians.

Probably a region thing. Can you get to it through the link at the bottom of this article?

"Eat S***, Bob!": John Oliver Takes Aim at Coal Tycoon Bob Murray With Musical Number, Fiery Segment

If not, try Googling "Slapp Suit" and "John Oliver." The musical number starts at around the 20 minute mark, but the whole thing is worth watching.
