No, Not really

 “They understand freedom as being left alone to make their own choices, and they resent being told what to do,” William Galston has written in The Wall Street Journal.

no, not really.

They are just selfish people who think that their rights, health, and privileges are more important that anyone else around them. They are told countless times what to do, and think by Trump and his acolytes. 


 

and then there is this....

"In an article this month for Breitbart, the right-wing website formerly run by Steve Bannon, John Nolte argued that the partisan gap in vaccination rates was part of a liberal plot. Liberals like Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Fauci and Howard Stern have tried so hard to persuade people to get vaccinated, because they know that Republican voters will do the opposite of whatever they say, Nolte wrote."

 I mean this is just idiotic. Basically the author is saying, it is your fault that I'm stupid. FFS.

FINALLY

Don't get me wrong I am glad this happened, but why are we praising the press for finally doing their job?

At that point the administration appears to have finally realized that it might need to do something beyond insisting that things were great. But according to The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman, it initially proposed paying for a virus response by cutting aid to the poor — specifically, low-income heating subsidies. Cruelty in all things.

And we knew this

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/10/why-donald-trumps-economic-dream-crumbled/601153/

Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement was the corporate-tax cut he signed in 2017. Republicans said it would grow the economy by up to 6 percent, stimulate business investment, and pay for itself.
None of those promises have come to pass. GDP growth has declined to less than 2 percent according to the latest report, released yesterday. Business investment has now declined for two straight quarters, dragging down economic growth. And the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion.
The U.S. manufacturing sector is practically in a recession. The ISM index, a key measure of that industry’s health, registered its lowest number in 10 years.
The answer, basically, is that while the Trump can’t deliver, the American consumer continues to chug along. Consumer spending, which was the one bright spot in yesterday’s GDP report, beat forecasts by rising nearly 3 percent. Unemployment is at a 60-year low, and wage growth has accelerated for the poorest workers. (Ironically, these positive trends have been buoyed by large federal deficits, which break another Trump campaign promise.)

This barrel of angry cats might still be just spilling out.
This could keep going. And there are other "findings" yet to come.
More whistle blowers. etc.

Trump, Whistle Blower, and the 2'nd Civil War

https://www.wired.com/story/civil-war-2-meme/

Some critics like director Ava DuVernay warn that real danger lurks behind these kinds of presidential tweets. Far-right groups and militias don't see Civil War 2 as an idea worth spoofing, they see it as a call to arms, and, at least online, claim to be acting accordingly. 




https://www.wired.com/story/whistle-blower-did-it-right/

But underneath the increasingly large pile of misinformation, misinterpretation, and outright fabrication sits one simple truth: The whistle-blower did nothing wrong.

In fact, House Intelligence staffers did exactly what they were supposed to do in these situations: tell the whistle-blower to lawyer up, and submit a complaint to an inspector general. That's their long-established role in the whistle-blower ecosystem. "Like other whistle-blowers have done before and since under Republican- and Democratic-controlled committees, the whistle-blower contacted the committee for guidance on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intelligence community," Intel Committee spokesperson Patrick Boland said in a statement. "Consistent with the committee's longstanding procedures, committee staff appropriately advised the whistle-blower to contact an inspector general and to seek legal counsel."

Amateurs identify U.S. spy satellite behind President Trump's tweet

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/09/02/npr-amateurs-identify-u-s-spy-satellite-behind-president-trumps-tweet


meant to publish this the other day.



The image almost certainly came from a satellite known as USA 224, according to Marco Langbroek, a satellite-tracker based in the Netherlands. The satellite was launched by the National Reconnaissance Office in 2011. Almost everything about it remains highly classified, but Langbroek says that based on its size and orbit, most observers believe USA 224 is one of America's multibillion-dollar KH-11 reconnaissance satellites.

“The US Department of Justice brings its weight to bear against auto companies in an attempt to frighten them out of voluntarily making cleaner, more efficient cars and trucks than EPA wants. Consumers might ask, who is Andy Wheeler protecting?” she asked.

For some reason I am taking way too much enjoyment in that, for many of the bible thumping Republicans who are railing against China right now, probably got their bible from China.
