“I gotta laugh because I accepted the invitation not for being white, but because I’m a dude you know?” said actor Jeff Bridges, who pushed back on a philosophical point on the messaging from the campaign that Democrats must “fight” for democracy. “It’s not so much a fight, but a surrender to higher thoughts of how we want the future to turn out,” Bridges said. “That’s just my opinion, man.”
"That’s just my opinion, man" suggests he's joking. I get the reference.....
... but which way is he joking? Is it that the movie character of "The Dude" is averse to fighting and takes a slacker route to the same destination? You don't have to fight. Only surrender. That seems like a satire of the Democrats' message. Is he toying with them? Just fooling around? Or is he saying that white men really ought to surrender. Stand down and think of "higher thoughts." The future belongs to... somebody else.

Segregation Now. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever.
Historically, every time the Democrat Party starts one of these "whites only" groups things turn out poorly for minorities and other people.
Here's the future the so-called White Dudes will bring to America if Harris wins.
Forced EV purchases.
Triple electric rates.
Continued high inflation caused by wild Green spending.
High gas prices.
A continued invasion by illegal aliens.
China invades Taiwan.
Forever war in Ukraine.
More trans insanity.
And, the most important thing for these losers, legal pot.
Fuck these people. Total losers.
...' a surrender to higher thoughts'. That's the dude
I'm going to give him a pass this one time but, geez dude.
You don't need to fight. Only surrender.
Reminds me of the ending of 1984.
Robes and hoods optional?
EPA has banned burning crosses? Or does this group have an automatic exemption as given to the urban rioters in recent years?
Poor Jeff, the Dude character hit so close to home.
The democrats are running the most divisive, dishonest, and anti democratic campaign in the history of the country.
Putin was more honest with Russian voters than the Democrats were with Democrat voters.
"White Dudes"? I looked at part of the video and saw a bunch of beta males. And that's beta on their best most masculine day. I have to laugh thinking about how that video will play say down in Oklahoma and points south.
The opening act on this three hour call was a black guy. River Page writes amusingly about it on The Free Press today.
Four million from a bunch of rich Hollywooders? Talk about a backhanded compliment!
The Dems love to talk about unifying the country. We conservatives will never agree with all this trans business, the Green New Deal and open borders.
The Dems have to change their minds as we won't. The Dems are unhinged; radical Jacobins.
He's an actor, so try not to read too much into it. Also, I'll admit it, I didn't like The Big Lebowski.
White Dudes for Reparations!
Aren't these calls just giving the illusion of inevitable popularity, while allowing big donors to launder more money to the Harris campaign? I don't believe there were a bunch of regular voters who joined a zoom call and donated. They've been planning this rollout for a long time.
Dave defies Yogi Berra's claim that "Predictions are hard. Especially about the future."
EPA has banned burning crosses?
LED crosses look like real fire but save electricity and reduce pollution. #Greenfacts
Segregation forever.
C'mon man! These affinity groups might be separate but they are equal, m'kay?
Forget it, dudes. Let's go bowling...
I saw a clip of that White Dudes for Harris Zoom call.
These are the exact same guys who were running around masked while driving alone in their cars. And the same guys who masked up their kids and allowed the schools to be closed.
And now they won't admit that they were totally wrong.
Fucking idiots.
It all becomes clear when you make the translation "we get to be in charge" when they say "democracy." Once you know that there is nothing odd or puzzling about their nondemocratic statements at all.
He’s round-peg-in-a-square-hole-ing his Dude character into the lefties fight theme. I do not abide…
Fuck these people. Total losers
Yah? Well…y’know…that’s just like…your opinion, man…
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh, man, I need TV when I've got T.Rex
Oh brother, you guessed
I'm a dude, dad
Hey dudes!
(Carry the news) Where are ya?
(Boogaloo dudes) Stand up, c'mon
(Carry the news)
(All the young dudes) I want to hear you
(Carry the news) I want to see you
(Boogaloo dudes) I want to talk to you, all of you
(Carry the news) Now!
Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love
Oh yes, we can love
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag, too many snags
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh is that concrete all around
Or is it in my head?
Yeah
I'm a dude, dad
“Dude” is my preferred pronoun.
26 comments and 3 are from Begley, showing pretty clearly how scared the GOP are.
If this wasn't a worry, why are Dave's undies in such a bundle?
Well thank goodness they were banned from X/twitter.
When in Hollywood, say the smart thing but vote the right way.
Or is he saying that white men really ought to surrender. Stand down and think of "higher thoughts." The future belongs to... somebody else.
If Harris is installed, I am mentally prepared to listen to the violins on the deck of the ship as it sinks.
You'll miss us when we don't give a fuck anymore. Mark Hamill is not Luke Skywalker.
How preachy is their Diversity exclusive of albinos in an integrated Rainbow.
...and that’s been the only sticking point all along, innit? I mean, it wasn’t that they were opposed to propping up Joe again, one last time- no, they were fine with it…except they felt so uncool. An unsettling uncool, causing the normally dormant self-awareness to wake up and kick in, making them feel, well…stupid.
Scott Adams correctly describes the current Democrat coalition.
Bat shit crazy women and the men who want to please them.
Did you seen any of the clips from the "white women for Harris" call?
All scary Human Resource Karens.
Do they really think putting white guy on the ticket is going to make Trump supporting white guys vote for Harris and her white guy DEI pick?
NKP:
Some of the items in my first comment are not predictions. It is a fact that CA and the EPA are forcing people to purchase EVS; unless, of course, Trump wins. CA has a mandate of 50% of new car purchases by 2030.
The items that are predictions are not really that unlikely. China invading Taiwan is a little bold for me.
Funny you should repeat that Yogi Berra quote as I'm using that at the next Omaha Public Power District meeting to show how all the Green predictions of climate doom have been totally wrong.
And as for me being vocal about this, the stakes are very high in this next election and Dem idiocy needs to be called out. I've had it with these people.
Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
Now "Brat," that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
As I recall, there are two things that get the Dude off his couch,thinking about something other than bowling, cannabis and White Russians. 1. His rug is stolen; 2. there is an attractive young lady whose virtue needs to be defended--the Dude is a bit like a knight of the Middle Ages. Since this is boomers we're talking about, he encounters a woman who can teach him everything about sex--that's worth leaving home for.
When Kamala says "reparations," she probably means white liberals can assuage their guilt by voting for her.
These fellows should try the “white dudes for sanity” group and lose their affection for self abuse.
If she accomplishes nothing else, Harris is making politics fun. That Trump death march was very depressing.
These assholes have to be white punks on dope to support this sham coupster campaign.
Mash-up AVI and Lloyd W Robertson then recognize that "White Dudes for Kamala" think they aren't going to be the ones *paying reparations*.
Jeff Bridges might be a great guy, he might be a jerk, or he might be a mix. Why would anyone who doesn't know him give the slightest weight to his opinions, apart from the logic or truth value apparent on their face?
He might be The Dude, but he's no Mike Nelson.
@Althouse, we have not yet begun to fight!
Higher thoughts are the thoughts of people who are higher up. Surrender to your moral and intellectual superiors. They have credentialed one another and everything.
On X:
Replying to @KamalaHarris: Seems like a lot of people reconsidered you. They left when the concert ended.
Follow up comment:
"Proof that people were at the "rally" to see the free, yet horrible concert.
People are leaving while Kamala is speaking."
Are they ok with the crime the inflation the three wars on the cusp get over yourselves
The ultimate in cringe.
Not a drop of testosterone between those Zoom callers.
White Dudes for Harris EQUALS I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords!
Although I'd like to see the Dude blow drying Kamala's toenail polish. But she'd probably make me pay $100 just to watch.
Dave B:
I am doing a home remodel in Califirniae. I am required to install an EV charging station in my new garage. Not just the power drop, mind, but the whole charger. I wonder if I'll be allowed to install a Tesla unit?
I simply see it as a virtue signal/attack on the right saying that 'there are white people who aren't racist'; if you don't vote for Harris then you are racist!

7/31/24, 11:04 AMWhy would we just repeat the obvious? Dave Begley is correct in the way the dems want to fuck over the American people.
While the leftists might measure their dicks by how many comments someone posts normal people don't.

Lefty Mark is practicing that old Democrat tactic of projection.

Not enough wildfires [if you can call the intentional arson of Park Fire a "wildfire"] burning homes in California, so they are now requiring homeowners to install fire units that are nearly impossible to extinguish inside the home?
I wish Jeff bridges had said:
"Nihilists, F*ck me. Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism Dude, at least it's an ethos."
I beg to differ. Democrats are still in the honeymoon phase, with Kamala. Long about the first debate, they'll realize they got shotgun married to the town pump.
Starting to think Mark might be a parody account. No one is really that dumb, right? Who sees the Blogger equivalent of Nelson Muntz pointing at stupid "whites only" meetings while braying "Ha HA!" and deduces, yep, them commenters are skeered of us all right. He can't be that dense can he?
Dude, your side is reintroducing SEGREGATION. Not one Republican is afraid of Kamala's self-segregating Soy Brigade. I'm warning YOU that when YOUR side starts holding white's only meetings like this bad things tend to happen, especiall to non-whites.
Jus' sayin'.
Did you seen any of the clips from the "white women for Harris" call?
Mary Katherine Ham posted a killer parody of it. "Gentle parenting Moms for Kamala" or something like that.
Kamala would have jailed the Dude.
@Fred Drinkwater said 13:15 : "I am doing a home remodel in Califirniae. I am required to install an EV charging station in my new garage. "
Are you required because this a job you're doing for a client, or are you required by statute or regulation? It seems the latter, by the way your expressed it. I wasn't aware that state governments could compel this kind of investment - yet.

You really have no clue, do you?
Don't confuse our laughter at you with fear.
Nor our hate.
Fear is the last thing on our minds when it comes to people like you.
Don't be so hard on Mark.
Mark's just a poor fit for this blog.
Left side 'o the curve folks are a more fertile ground for his propaganda.
Yahoo comments for instance.
Shoo fly.
LLR-democratical Rich: "If she accomplishes nothing else, Harris is making politics fun."
LOL
MadTownGuy posts the video of the crowd fleeing the arena after the "talent" has left the stage and before Kamala, descendant of vicious slave owners, appears before them.
Looks like the crowd that showed up wasn't too impressed at the possibility of Harris "making politics fun"....and they voted with their feet!
Jesus Rich, how far can you fall? You hit the bottom of the ineptitude hole and just kept digging. Let us know when you are almost thru the Earth's crust and approaching the mantle.
Fun to leftists = watching the nation swirl down the toilet, and laughing.
Don't confuse our laughter at you with fear.
Nor our hate.

"Harris is making politics fun."
To be fair, the memes practically write themselves, so there's that.
Dave, I'm in complete agreement with you on this topic. Happy to know you plan to quote Yogi in your remarks :-)
Back in the day when I was writing serious things for serious people, I used Yogi 'wisdom' many times. Kipling was also a favorite.
If the 'audience' was strictly US, a single line of a rock and roll oldie could be a great set-up or closer. Everybody knew the meaning and could relate it to the subject. No explanations required. It also established some common ground between the presenter and those he wanted to influence.
A bunch of white dudes talking about a black woman is known as a klan.
Jews for Jesus
3 comments by Begley is pretty standard for the morning photo thread. Anything less than 7 is disappointing.
Say what you like about MAGA, dude, at least it's an ethos.
Bridges' co-star in "Lebowski," John Goodman, was doing the voiceovers for Biden's ads. More of the "good man" garbage. I'm glad they've been shirtcanned.
Lloyd W Robertson said...
"...When Kamala says "reparations," she probably means white liberals can assuage their guilt by voting for her."
What she really means is that reparations will be payable to the State, which will dole it out as it sees fit.
So is any actual journalist going to look into how much each celebrity got paid to be on the zoom call? Plus, if the 'white dudes' are supposed to be the new symbol of masculinity, dog help us. There isn't enough testosterone in the bunch to open a jar of peanut butter.
Our town had a town manager named Jeff Bridges.
One evening at dinner my wife mentioned him to me. The three kids, who on very rare occasions rose above mere civility to one another*, all cracked up as the youngest, his eyes wide, intoned: "The Dude abides."
*They all get along wonderfully now, despite being about as different from each other as three siblings could be.
White Dudes for Kamala is about as silly as it gets and tells me where the Democrats see their weaknesses.
Say what you like about the tenets of MAGA, dude, at least it's an ethos.
Bridges's co-star in "Lebowski," John Goodman, did the voice-overs for Biden's commercials. They used the "a good man" theme of Biden's 2020 commercials but added a lot of talk about the "convicted felon" Biden was running against. Needless to say, we're all fortunate that these commercials have been sidelined by Biden's withdrawal.
Thanks for identifying yourselves, losers
I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.

We've got a winner for comment of the day!
John Goodman was suppposed to be a 'fat man' back in the eighties and nineties.
So was Wayne Knight "Newman"
Looking back they don't look so fat now.
