Huh???

Many took former Barack Obama’s endorsement of Warnock as a not-so-subtle nod for Lieberman to drop out. (fun fact: Joe, Matt’s dad, made sure to fart in Obama’s face during the healthcare debate that almost threatened to derail it.)

When I saw this, I was excited, and curious, and a little puzzled. I would have thought that I would remember Joseph Biden farting at Barack Obama. So, I go to the link to see this incident. No farting mentipned. A google search of Lieberman and fart, likewise, shows nothing as well.

Joseph. Lieberman . Never. Farted. At. Barack. Obama.

The news story is using a colloqualism. It could say simply, flatly, more simply and stately and journalistically, that there was at times a strained relationship with Obama and Lieberman — see, for instance, Lieberman speaking at the Republican convention on behalf of John McCain when he was running against him — which followed through at policy battles during his administration.

But instead what I see here is “fart”. WHY???

An impulse buy directed magazine on “ranking the presidents” shows on the front a bunch of them — including Obama and Trump. Curious to see what fluffery they have on Trump, and sp I open…

I can’t immediately tell anything — I grasp that the magazine will feature with the most prominence the supposed greats — the Mt Rushmore Mafia, if you will, and a few others tagging about –, will do a smaller bit on the lowest, and some perfunctory on the rest. The still living Presidents will get a “Have to wait for History:s Judgement” line. Too many partisans of each of them.

Commiserate with that is the rather odd pull quote for Yrump. A line of platitude any of the others coulda said.

Off on the same shelf the supermarket has stocked the impulse buy magazine commemorating The West Wing. Probably a seasonal idea, Seinfeld and Friends was just done and moving to election time — there is this for weary liberals who don’t want to see forced neutrality on Trump.

So… Is Trump’s covid-19 case a positive or a negative for his re-election chances?

A… Positive… I guess. Or. Nothing much. It splatters some empathy for the guy — as evidenced by Biden folding his negative ads.

I heard it articulated by a conspiracy-minded talk radio show, but it followed my thought on what this 538 is missing. You craft the narrative. “Hero’s Journey”. THis is the part where the battered protagonist rejuvenates and or finds wisdom in the cave.

I see a Trump ad at youtube (paid content). The title refers to Trump as a “warrior” the clip simply being his comments on his positive testing. The idea now is that “a real warrior is battling within” — I believe expressed by the Star Trek Klingon character Worf.

The one problem with this comes in Trump’s need for surrounding himself with his teeming masses. So he rides off and waves from a car, disrupting this “covid 19 quarantine as reset” narrative.

will draw him, at least.

Why they couldn’t go with this one, dunno…

It is funny, as Lyndon gets tagged (incorrectly as the case may be) with that “neo-nazi” tag sometimes. Misnomers abound: What is this on “Obama in black face?. If it is that Joker image being referenced, that came from elsewhere — popularized in part by Alex Jones but not originated there.

This, on the other hand.

Just one of many… Worth noting, James Bevel was the guy at the time and he was guilty of the supposed sins the org was revealing.

Ii. A response that this twitter feed cannot make due to it being a fill in blank randomizer bot: it is all at the proper voice modulation.
In other bot stoppings: Bet you didn’t know he had a daughter. (Then again, he also apparently played Lou Reed’s most infamous album. (Can j-pop be recognizable at 432?)
Rmember seeing Labouche live?

Y’know, the funny thing is I think r cam might be serious. Explore the conspiracy starting with the question “Who profits?”

It comes up in the answer on “huh?”

the esoteric joke.

III. Election 1988 headlines… If the org had arbitrarily chosen the other partisan side, they coulda stuck with it for claims of prescience.
And now as a rejoinder to the lpactwitter war-room.

Here is the analogy of Bakker cell-mating with Larouche to… Trump joining Snowden in Russia in some fantasy future.

Oh, the company you keep, … For the life of me, a quick google search and I have no idea what the Mccrae – Larouche link is.
another “link” : Igor Kochran, though this one I have a better gauge for meaning.

Sure, but it clashes with quotes from 2008.

The Jews are responsible for all the assassinations.

Y’know, I don’t think the “Operation Northwoods! Operation Northwoods!” line ever came from Larouche. (And is she classifying Tarpley as Larouche?)
That being said…

For the life of me, I can’t make heads or tails of Larouche’s stated reasoning for support of O’Malley in 2016, except it contradicts the repeated rah rah cheerleading that came with that repeated Fox Business Channel quoting to line him up with FDR. Is this a case of deployimg that “noble lie” the org always placed on the Straussians?
Overall, I do sense a bit of knowledge with that “28 roommates” tweet.

Hey! One of those “memes”.

IV. Becoming a line o convention: Larouche Wright Brothers now QAnon Apollo Program.
But maybe this is why Daniel Burke saw fit to disavow them.

Skipping to the bottom line, which frankly appears to bein line with the current Larouche line that “God won’t let you destroy his leader”, or however that creepy meme goes.

V. To any and all issues, the larouchian response is “exonerate larouche too”.
Though these requests to any and all figures of renown on social media don’t deploy this religious baggage.
(Though, on answering where to go if you become disillusioned by fox news.
… And why would someone be aiming to get an audience from the “Zog controls everything, Trump and Biden both” crowd?

We see the larouche twitter war-room deploy the meme weapon calling Larouche “cancelled before cancelled was cool”, sure to win over the burgeoning right wing Zoomer demographic. For the older righties, well, Harley Schlanger and the Band do that “edge of coup” prepper thingy. (Aways away from Daniel Burke in by-gone era… not Trump allies).

THe modern equivalent to the olde “He’s still alive???” response.
Satanwatch.

As Trump touts the achievements of Space Force in remarks in Middletown, a number of supporters next to the press riser begin a chant of “Pelosi to the moon!”
Remarkably similar to supporters of Lyndon Larouche in late 80’s holding signs inside National Airport ‘Expand NASA’s budget, send Congress to Mars’. Peas in a pod….

VII. The people are lining up for the schiller institute youth web conference.
Reportedly, This past weekend there was an International Youth conference (the third since May) over Zoom by the Schiller Institute. I never saw more than 170 persons watching at any one time., which is 170 more than zero. Musta been drawn in by Joycelyn Elders.

what a weird degrees of separation and forced at that manner of disparaging a guy.

VIII. Interlude to other guy: Funny thing: Bob Avakian and his rcp has had a larger presence in this city, such as it is, than the Larouchies — who at least showed up once in a while during the Bush and … At least early Obama years.

Well, Bob Avakian has taken a fig leaf of strategy from the Larouchies and are campaigning for one of the two party selections, overthrowing forty-five years of sitting them out to back Biden against Trump. Counterpunch explores whether they (or os it “he”?) have any point in finding Trump fascist as compared to anyone else, or even if so if it follows Avakian prediction what breed of fascism it is supposed to be.

We await to see how much effect Avakian’s endorsement to vote for Biden has on the election. It has been noticed.. Funny, it dors read something of the initoal Larouche literature on Martin O’Malley.

IX. Here is one man weighing the New Jersey senate election options. (Any word on them following current palace politics?) Watch out for the spite vote, though.
Daniel Burke’s presence on the ballot encourages schemes of entryism infiltration. It will be interesting to see how the Larouche party does in comparison with Of By For, for example. (Intersting to see if either candidate complains of the “butterfly ballot” effect, claiming misvotes.)

Here we have Burke questing for votes… Where?

Up ballot still gets you… Maybe?

Win a vote,
Lose a vote.

One media interview with Burke is Caleb Maupin .
It’s extremely concerning that you’re platforming the LaRouche movement. You wrote about LaRouche in Workers’ World calling him a fascist back in 2009, cannot for the life of me figure out why you would platform this guy.

X. Chinese Democracy.

Concerning themselves with the this thing… Did Xi pick up the b and r from larouche?. The John Birch Society weighs in.. (The John Birch Society, seen here quoting approvingly as a source Webster Tarpley.)

Maybe it is, sure, but back from the old days when it was something else.

And, Point. Counter-point.

Rounding up if we must and William Jones and eir don’t come up until the last paragraph. (William Jones … Don’tbring up Trump on this.

Trump allies responding to news of his coronavirus: Here is the Larouche org and here is Georgia Senate candidate Kelly Loeffler.

XI. Point: (lpac report of their presence at a right wing rally). Slogan of stopping a coup against the President,” accompanied by a photo of Obama and Biden with a shared Hitler mustache. Another, new sign read: “Donald Can’t Do It by Himself.”

Counterpoint.

Make sense of this if you can.
While a few leftists on twitter were foolishly convinced that Trump was dominating the debate–thus betraying both a lack of familiarity with the concerns of undecided voters and their own strange fetish for authoritarian personalities–the vast majority of the actuaal

I suppose it is good that they fall away from the problems of twitter, and knowing the line “twotter is not real life”, but it does come at you that the “Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Duce” line will not be tolerated. Or the concept of Trump feigning to do any politicking of flanking in ironic ways to the left (what’s his foreign policy? What was Biden — the author of the Crime Bill?)
Actually the dilemma of a two party system rears its head. Can’t provide succor to Trump with any quarter-back handed praises or anything that drops from the line of approved croticism, and need to holdback on anything against Biden or Harris. It shows authoritarian tendencies on some unnamed twitter leftists!

This though… is a frequent complaint on non Trumpp Tepublicans.

The GOP has been here before with John Birchers and it didn’t end well,” said Ben Sasse, the Nebraska senator who has been a vocal if terribly inconsistent Trump critic.

Vocal if inconsistent.
The terms of a “Resistance” was dropped on that flier you can find in front of half of all retail businesses in “blue cities”. “In My America”, etc. etc. So, when you stated Trump is tempermentally unsuited for the Presidency, and a host of issues before the elections, and the issues on that sign “I Can’t Believe I’m Still having to Protest this”, include “this”es they would be fatigued by protesting away if you were in charge…
Consistency to a what?
Actually the route of Ben Sasse has made sense: he seems steered away from the current melee to confront, for example, issues at vortex of tech and personal liberties.

This yard sign has me convinced. I will be voting for this candidate for Senator of Kentucky. As I am sure everyone who passes by this yard sign will be doing.

Here in the state of Oregon.

Is there anyone in Kentucky who has a Jo Rae Perkins sign up?

If this were a dictatorship things would be easier. So long as I’m dictaor.

George W Bush said that, probably not intentionally but nonetheless mimicking Jimmy Carter. I think Clinton said as much, with Obama by-passing it by merely slipping into the gaffe of conflating Star Wars and Star Trek to get at the same point.

Today, The National Review explains away Trump jabbing into transfers of power, not likely in a way they would if a Democratic President said the same thing, and ignoring the context of Hillary Clinton’s “we have a heavy mail in election so results coming in could be wonky” advice to Biden.
The Washington Monthly is on alert, advising contingencies which will surely leave the George Soros behind every rock conspiratorialists calmed. Interestingly, five thirty eoght was on this beat already.

Funny thing, though. There was enough left wing conspiracy murmuring of Bush (the second) not leaving office that one of the major conservative sites jumped in with a January 2009 editorial asking why the left isn’t giving Bush credit for duly leaving. Maybe everyone can take Trump’s vagaries here as setting a low bar for accomplishment and legacy building.

. Sire. Who can argue with an Elie Wiesel quote? The problemn comes whem you take the automatic protests that come with a shooting of a man in Lancester. The oppressor in this case is the knife wielding black man, but that notion clashes with the basic ambience this business — tucked far enough from downtown so as not to be at risk of any post-wildfire smoke pre too cold vandalism that springs from mostly peaceful protests.

The latest edition of the alt weekly (maybe last week’s; I have taken to reviewing them two at a time every other weekk) includes the racial survey on “who gets bullied at school?”. THe answer is everubody, if we want to be honest about it, if at different level and durations. But I do find the precision of these percentages… Meaningless. On questioning of they were ever bullied about their race or ethnicity
Black eighth graders were 10 times morelikely to respond yes, at 21.3%, than their white counterparts, at only 2.2%.

Sometime in fifth grade, a Hispanic population in my majority Hispanic public school became racially conscious to a manner that did clearly horrified the teachers. So in this context, as some boys take to ripping the midwestern white population that made up the attempted pen-pal program the teacher was trying to line up, and I myself learn the word “honky”. As racial epithets go, I am well aware that to comment at the sight is some proto variation of falling into what will later be called “white fragility”. So I cannot mark this as being “bullied for ethnic or racial reasons”, moreso than if, perhaps, someone were to do a Speedy Gonzalez voice “all in good fun”, micro-aggression that may be classifiable as bullying.
Not to say wider society isn’t bearing out the points behind the percentages or whatever double standard this represents, just that the –however justified a double standard — it means there isn’t too much meaning in and of itself for the 2 to 21 ratio.

Y’know…

The purveyor of this sign…
Are they with that am con writer in voting for Trump if he pardons him?
Or does he (she? Xe?). go down the road of the bumper sticker side by side “Obama / Biden 2012” “Free Assange” — and where Obama official and one time Biden veep prospect Susan Rice twerting her horrors when Trump broached the idea?
Not that one oughta necessarially be a one issue voter…
You can if you want to be, though. But you will get what you get no matter.
