Speaking of color: "Janet Jackson says Kamala Harris is ‘not black’"

"What can be, unburdened by what has been" - Kamala

that's a line from Marx, maybe via Kamala's father? Perhaps not word salad!

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Narr said...

Marxist ideology (such as "Existence determines Consciousness)" explains that everyone is formed and trapped by ideology except when they aren't, like Marxists (who have Science on their side).

It's an easy and convenient rhetorical posture, and flourishes nowadays in all areas of public discourse.

The rule of Lemnity said...

The pendulum has swung to "an abundance of caution". Watch out, when "throwing caution to the wind" comes back around.

rhhardin said...

The interesting thing is that it's not word salad. It's something she learned from Marxism. I speculate by way of her father since she doesn't seem like a scholar. She'd explain it outright if she were instead of using the slogan.

YouTube: "A horse in the rain: how to pass through suffering"

This video is one of his best. (IMHO)

Hint: "Much of my work is devoted to reducing unnecessary suffering. However, not all suffering is unnecessary. So what is the appropriate response to the necessary and unavoidable suffering that we must all experience at some points in our lives? The answer comes through observing a horse in the rain – who does nothing to make his situation any worse than it already is."

Looks like a blue wave, but seriously one of my favorites of the dark sky sunrises, even without the red sun breaking through.

From a redditor: "That's wild" is the most over-used phrase of the 21st century

It's difficult to get through a podcast episode without either the host or the guest saying that banal, cliched phrase.

It's also totally lost its allure and appeal. Saying "that's wild" to describe a genuinely jawdropping piece of music, athletic feat or acting skill. Yes, that fits
But no. It's not "wild" if you ordered a flat white instead of a cappuccino at a coffee shop, or if Starbucks have run out of sandwiches. Just two examples I've personally come across the last few weeks”

NYPost headline: "MegaFLOPolis Francis Ford Coppola’s $100 million, 4-decade passion project is a zero-star, wacko disaster"

I want to see this so much. I love terrible movies made by talented people.

“I am your protector. I want to be your protector,You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger. You’re not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion!”

Sleep well tonight Althouse. you have a protector. A weird, creepy protector.

“What can be, unburdened by what has been” is not a quotation from "The Communist Manifesto." Lets move on from yet another MAGA bourgeoisie lie.

Jupiter said...

... of the people that live there.

Jupiter said...

That makes a lot of sense, if you're a tenured professor of Nothingology, and get paid OPM to bloviate.

gadfly said...

Under an Ohio statute that allows private citizens to file criminal charges, a Haitian organization filed felony charges against and seeks the arrests of Donald Trump and JD Vance for disrupting public services, making false alarms, and other serious offenses.

As Trump has been known to say: "Lock 'em up."

I sped thru link looking for pic of wise horse in rain. Nadda. Very disappointed.

Kate said...

Me, too. Where's the horse in the rain? It's just some dude talking.

“What can be, unburdened by what has been” is not a quotation from "The Communist Manifesto." Lets move on from yet another MAGA bourgeoisie lie”

The quote is a teaching by communist Karl Marx. Paraphrasing: “The first battle ground is to rewrite history to be unburdened by what was”

gadfly said...

In a speech on Tuesday in Savannah, Trump said world leaders are “laughing at us.”

“We have to be respected. They laugh at us. All over the world, they’re laughing at us,” Trump said.

“And you know what they’re really laughing at? Kamala,” Trump continued, “because they can’t believe that she’s going to be president. They can’t believe.”


So Trump believes that "she's going to be president" so give it up, guys - roll over and play dead.

When the lying corrupt Progressives say Trump killed a bipartisan border bill , THIS is what they are talking about. So much for securing the border. They are lying to us over and over and over again and only idiots believe them.


Congressman Byron Donalds
@RepDonaldsPress
Why the Senate Border Deal FAILED:

1–Codify Catch/Release
2–Let in 1.8M Illegals
3–Fund Sanctuary Cities
4–Fund NGOs Moving Illegals
5–Lawyers to Illegals
6–Work Permits to Illegals
7–Nothing to Deport Illegals
8–No Immediate Wall Funds
9–Weak Asylum Screening
10–$60B to Ukraine

Thank you, Congressman Donalds.
Re the 1.8M illegals per year— that’s 4,999 per day indefinitely.
This is for those who like to see the text of the bill for themselves:

Gadfly: in what universe does “they can’t believe that she’s going to be president” mean Trump believes that "she's going to be president.”

These night cafes are great. The juxtaposition of your elegant photos with the accompanying comments is like listening to Debussy while watching a street fight. If you close your eyes occasionally you can visualize Inga in super slo-mo landing her thunderous deep thoughts on her vanquished (in her mind) adversaries.

Trump gets it. The man actually gets it. This is what a true conservative sounds like.

TRUMP: "It takes centuries to build the unique character of each state. But reckless migration policy can change it quickly and permanently. Just like we’ve seen in London, and Paris, and Minneapolis."

"If Kamala Harris wins this election, she will flood Pennsylvania cities and towns with illegal migrants from all over the world—and Pennsylvania will not be Pennsylvania any longer."

"When I’m president, all migrant flights to Pennsylvania will STOP the moment I take the oath of office. Those who do not belong, will be sent back home. We will end the invasion of small-town Pennsylvania—and we will END the destruction of America."

It is deeply disturbing they are trying to get ahead of their stealing the election by suggesting we not believe our lying eyes. It is encouraging they are panicked their propaganda isn’t as effective as they believed…or need it to be…
