“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

A pushy old troll telling Sally Kellerman he'd wait till she as no class, eh?
That's funny because Sally never had the faintest trace of what-I-know-of-as "class." That the expression "having class," itself, has no class and never did is even funnier
Hot Lips never had any "class," Thersites, and neither did that lousy show M.A.S.H., which I'm proud to say I never watched if there were any way I could avoid it.
The tendency to trivialize deadly serious subjects that should evoke poignancy and create empathy with flippancy and sarcasm has always irritated me.
I formed my decidedly unfavorable opinion of La Kellerman not so much from M.A.S.H, as from her unsympathetic, deeply unpleasant portrayal of selfish, cruelly intolerant bitch named Elaine in the 1972 film version of Neil Simon's 1969 play The Last of the Red Hot Lovers. The play was billed as a comedy, but like virtually ALL of Simon's much vaunted work, it was as TEDIOUS as it was supremely UNFUNNY.
The popular culture was well into its Deep Dive to the Bottom by the time Neil Simon began to hold sway in Broadway. A most regrettable phenomenon!
Peter Thiele gets funded for Palantir by the CIA, CIA then becomes Palantir's Best Client! More billions for Peter the Libertarian Transhumanist! American Entrepreneuralism at its best... ;-)
(Farmer, this blog is fast becoming a nexus of activity! :^) ) You'll end uop in Palantir, at this rate!!
The One Party with 2 $$ wings are identical in the sense that its courtiers haave destroyed US Democracy and wrestled controls from 'We the People', RN.
When it comes to Israel and the Palestinians, Geller's and Shumer's positions are basically indistinguishable. Chucky's good at 'packaging' his lingo in faux-progressiveness 'cool-talk' while Geller doesn't mince her words. The difference is cosmetic.
Schumer is a creature of his constituency, as 1.2 million Jews live in NYC alone (and another 250k+ on Long Island). If all the Jews in NY were Pseudostinians, he'd be sending arms to HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH.
Democratic party... just right of center Republican party... center right Tea Party... tn the weed of the right Alt-right... lives in an alternative reality surrounded with fake facts
DNC/RNC = Establishment 'Master' Discourse (Irrational/moneyed) Right/Left Media = 'University' Discourse (Rationalize the Master Discourse from Master's perspective to hysterics) Tea Party/Occupy Wall Street = 'Hysteric' Discourse (don't know wtf's wrong) Alt-Right/Green/DSA - 'Analysts' Discourse (think they know wtf's wrong from the hysterics perspective and create a new language to rationalize it)
When the purpose is to consider only that which supports one's existing biases and shut out opposing views and arguments FreeThinke then there is no possibility of growth and society becomes stagnant.
My greatest fear is the US will become just like the the radical Islamists given current thinking in the present White House and its supporters. I hope I'm wrong. I really do.

Hotlips will always be Hotlips!

Deep State corporate welfare: Palantir 3.0.

As for the Russians, the military industrial complex has shifted into democrat hands... cuz no honest cold warriors I know are buying a word of it.
Palantir was then used against Glenn Greenwald (then still at Salon), unsuccesfully.

Disagree: GOP/DNC = One Party with 2 right wings.
One party with two $$ wings
Chris Hedges: End of American Liberalism.
One party with two $$ wings
I can approve of that message.
Chucky Shumer: Tears of a Clown
Crocodile tears from a man willing to provide Israel with enough fire power to put a bullet between the eyes of all Palestinian toddlers...
Democratic party... just right of center
Republican party... center right
Tea Party... tn the weed of the right
Alt-right... lives in an alternative reality surrounded with fake facts
Hi RN, fancy seeeing you here! ;-)

From Chucky to Paul Ryan: same criminals.

Now THAT is REAL anti-Semitism.
Ab-so-LUTE-ly AY-MAY-zing!
In Oy-RO-pa yew cud bee puddin' GAOL fur sayin dat.
Dem JOOZE cudda wipe doubt dem fuggin AY-RABS sicks tea yars ugho effen dade wandet do.
Now THAT is REAL anti-Semitism.
Racists like you still don't actually know what racism is.
Your Friend Pamela Geller e.g. TRULY hates Arabs/Muslims (read her blog), more so even than Horrible Chucky (Geller is in fact more consistent!)
Critiqueing Israel's policy vis-a-vis Palestinians in Europe is no biggie whatsoever.
You are a Classic antisemitic Zionist: plenty of these in US Mordor!

No... 4 Discourses
DNC/RNC = Establishment 'Master' Discourse (Irrational/moneyed)
Right/Left Media = 'University' Discourse (Rationalize the Master Discourse from Master's perspective to hysterics)
Tea Party/Occupy Wall Street = 'Hysteric' Discourse (don't know wtf's wrong)
Alt-Right/Green/DSA - 'Analysts' Discourse (think they know wtf's wrong from the hysterics perspective and create a new language to rationalize it)
You can call it 8 Discourses above if you want to L/R it, but it won't alter the "symptoms" that the Master's Discourse instills into the Hysterics.
Now, I admit that I'm a Knave... will YOU admit to being a Fool?
;p
Confucius say, "Man who meet with shitheads soon stink of shit."
Be careful, FJ.
I'd hate to see these malodorous influences rub off on you.
Please don't think it couldn't happen. It could, –– and it does –– every day here in Dadadom.
...the Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, and took them quite away! ;)
'The smell of out of context':
Very funny alt-right (PewDiePie):
Shooting Nazis in the nuts
If all the Jews in NY were Pseudostinians, he'd be sending arms to HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH.
I seriously doubt that, FJ. Zionist Jews have been inculcated with love for Israel with their mother's milk.
The few Jewish anti-Zionists I know have managed to ween themselves off of that teat with great difficulty and with much time.
In that sense, Chucky and Pammy went to the same shul.
Chucky does of course rely on massive Jewish donors, as does the entire One Party with the two wings.
Unrelated: nice doc about
Quantum physics.
'I'nal Jewry: Luvvin' Israel since 1967!'

Awwww, so CUTE! Stinky Flake issuing a trigger warning for Farmer!!

You know what's the real problem, RN? The 'liberal' side is hardly better! Worse in some respects, I feel. And I'm an old Lefty!
I've said that many times before myself Gert. But with Trump et all I've been rethinking that premise.
"GROWTH" too often becomes METASTATIC.
The QUALITY and DIRECTION of "growth" is of vital importance.
