"... while A.I. versions of Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance (both draped in black cloaks as well) played percussion set to the Blue Öyster Cult jam '(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.'"

The message may intentionally sound confused but it seems pretty clear that the three of them are having a jolly good time. They enjoy being cruel just like a sixth grade bully.
You squat to pee Jim.
These AI videos say a lot about how things are shaped on the way out, but it really starts with how they’re shaped going in. From what’s been reported, even Mr. Trump’s Truth Social posts aren’t written directly by him — aides like Ms. Natalie Harp decide what he sees and what goes out in his name. The general ideas might be his, but the framing and timing come from others.
That creates a feedback loop: the same people filtering his view of the world are also crafting the version we see of him.
Even when he speaks live, it’s still within that curated reality. It must be something to live in a world where every image, briefing, and conversation is filtered before it reaches you — the live-action version of The Truman Show.
Is the shutdown good or bad? Mostly good.
Is it fun and an unprecented opportunity? Yes.
Is it madness that must end? It will end. How soon will depend on those sfflicted with madness (TDS).
Good rule to follow: If you sit down to the table and you can't tell who the TDS-infected zombies are, it's you...
Yesterday the message is pretty clear they were still trying to use cuts to beat the dogs to the budget table...and as I mentioned days ago I'll believe meaningful cuts are happening only when they happen...
...some of us did try to warn you throwing everything at avoiding minor pain in the past would lead to greater pain in the future. The future is now...
It's October. Do you get some Halloween leeway to play with "scary" things? I'd say when you have great power, you must refrain from taunting and tormenting people with it.
The NYT can't handle two contrarian thoughts at the same time. Shutting down the government causes a lot of problems for a lot of people. It is not the best way to run a government. However, the reason we are in this mess is because of some problems that have become intractable to solve, but a shutdown government allows alternate solutions to resolve. As a person once said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is, it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
Less cowbell.
Keldonric: "It must be something to live in a world where every image, briefing, and conversation is filtered before it reaches you."
That's the world of anyone who manages something bigger than a hot dog stand. An elementary-school principal, for instance. A senior leader depends on subordinates to figure out what information the leader needs or doesn't. A really great senior leader figures out how to make that process work. By selecting the right subordinates, for one. That's one of the big improvements of Trump 47. And also by recruiting information sources from outside the bubble: Trump has Musk, Loomer, the Mar-a-Lago crowd, Bannon crying in the wilderness, etc. Not to mention Melania and the kids.
Oh, and the bullet. That kind of broke through any bubble he might have had.
Compare to the process for Biden, Kommie-lay, Hillary, etc. I will always remember Hillary trying to process the scornful laughter she got from Trump's side of the room at one of the debates - the first time that ever happened to her. Trump has always known in brutal detail how many and how much people disagree with and hate him. Very important for a senior leader. CC, JSM
For Trump’s enemies tormenting is too good for ‘em. Some of them should hang…
JD is perfect on the drums!
Trump is such an epic character. How will his legendary saga end?
“I'd say when you have great power, you must refrain from taunting and tormenting people with it.”
That would have been great advice for the Biden administration.
1. The Angry Red speech
2. Some Jan 6 protesters got longer sentences than Kavanaugh’s would be assassin.
Most Americans wish that the political system was capable of serving up choices that were "better" and "best" rather than "bad" and "worse". What we are witnessing is a failure of the democratic system in which the voters have very little agency. A political crisis was inevitable. Trump just accelerated the process.
I saw this video last night and thought about your previous post on Trump's shut down Truth feed and wished he'd done this in time. I'm so glad it made the blog. It's art, lol.
That would have been great advice for the Biden administration
….yes, the asymmetry of opinion is staggering. He just makes people lose their sense to perspective, of relativity. People become out of order, lose their ability to assess, rationalize…the definition of deranged…
I’d prefer not to see those people in charge if anything, like a budget, or a courtroom, or any other government entity but here we are…
@john mosby
I agree that senior leadership always relies on filtration and aggregation of information. No one person could hope to assimilate the sheer volume of raw data that almost anyone in a high-level position receives daily. We all depend on some layer of interpretation — people or systems that take raw data and transform it into actionable intelligence.
I would argue that Mr. Trump still exists within a bubble, but that bubble has been reshaped.
And I’m fairly certain that anyone in high political office understands that people disagree with — and even hate — them. Personally, I don’t watch or listen to politicians speak; I prefer the written word. But I find it hard to believe Ms. Clinton had never been laughed at publicly before, having been a visible figure for decades. Was the laughter at that debate different in tone or intensity? Was it spontaneous, general, or directly tied to something Mr. Trump said?
One of the more interesting things about these bubbles is how they defend themselves — they filter not just information, but challenges to the filter itself. It’s the nature of the people who form them: being inside the bubble means having influence, and people rarely surrender influence willingly.
“I'd say when you have great power, you must refrain from taunting and tormenting people with it.”
My father, a blue collar man but a lifelong observer of politics, observed once "If you're in power, you better use it. You won't be in forever, and you know the other side will use it when they're in."
I can only guess at what he would've thought of Trump.
Keldronic said ... I find it hard to believe Ms. Clinton had never been laughed at publicly before, having been a visible figure for decades.
You may be right, but consider that her audiences were always pre-selected and limited to her supporters. I think it's very possible she had never heard dersive laughter from an audience.
Not talking about the odd protester who showed up to make sure the world know she was pissed that ol' triangulating Hillary wasn't enough of a Leftist. Talking about a sizeable portion of a mixed audience who recognized one of her BS talking points and ... well, the only real response was to laugh.
They enjoy being cruel just like a sixth grade bully
Memes have a long way to go before they catch up to the petty cruelty of shutting down an open-air, donation supported, non-staffed WWII memorial on the National Mall. Or blocking off scenic overlooks.
Is the Shutdown Bad or Good? Is it 'fun' and an 'unprecedented opportunity,' or is it 'madness' that must end?
It has Alinskyan vibes all over it.
No 11 - "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
If you don’t like him it’s easy to ignore the fact he’s been in media since the 70s. He’s great at media, better than people who claim to be communications experts. Communication and marketing are part of MBA programs and he went to a good one. It’s odd the people who really don’t have any idea what they’re doing offering him advice in this. Ignorant or not genuine, prolly both…
…some things different what sets some off- it isn’t coming from the usual side of the political aisle and/or it isn’t that ‘cool kid’ or court jester style of humiliation Obama and the Clintons peddle. Trump is literal, the mocking is overt. The cool kids don’t like that kind…
More Alinskyan vibes...
5 - "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
6 - "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
The idea that you could get both parties to reduce government (by hook or by crook, even if only temporarily) is the stuff of Reagan Rush conservatives wet dreams.
Mean tweets Obama with the mic drop at the end- not Presidential, not dignified (and later proven not true)* but boy did they eat that shit up…
* I won’t dignify this episode with a link go hunt yourself…
…Ironic the types of government downsizing Trump could do is the most constructive, most productive, most efficient kind of downsizing- targeted and compete elimination of lower priorities instead of the kind of downsizing a congressional committee would favor if they ever favored cuts again- those supposedly fairer ‘across the board’ percentage of budget cuts.
“I'd say when you have great power, you must refrain from taunting and tormenting people with it.”
I would agree that at some point… in the distant future, one should refrain. Until then, torment away and have some BIG fun! The Left deserves it and much, much more.
The Grim Reaper is a progressive liberal common in NYT circles who bray the Pro-Choice religion.
Wielding a scalpel.
I hadn’t seen that video, and now I have an ear worm. lol
I’m okay with an axe or chan saw or bulldozer at this point. I resist the argument it lacks compassion. We do it now because we ignored the problem when the disruption could have been lessened and we get to avoid the larger inevitable catastrophe we’re going to have in the not so distant future if we don’t do it now…we’ll ignore all this and kick the can…
I hadn’t seen that video, and now I have an ear worm.
…there’s an element of refreshment from the usual diligent reposting of the leftie propaganda to the Streisand-ey reposting of that what should not be made…
Most everything is both good and bad. What's the mystery?
More cowbell.
I'm virtually attending the TudorCon this weekend. The presenter right now is attempting to do a psychological diagnosis of Henry VIII from 500 years' distance. So far she is trending toward narcissism. She noted (and here is the relevance to the thread - thank you for your patience) that Henry was genuinely surprised when people disagreed with him or didn't like him.
This is just like the Left, postmodern inheritors of the Divine Right of Kings, who aren't just offended by ridicule - they simply can't fit it into their worldview. Whether it's Hillary who's never been laughed at before, or some random public intellectual who runs across Trump's tweets.
Trump on the other hand, coming from basically a bourgeois background (in the original sense, of the leading men of the burgh), spent his whole life with opposition, with the added NYC flavor of merciless ridicule. CC, JSM
"More Cowbell" - lol.
btw - are the members of blue oyster cult still alive - or did they meet the reaper?
If you don’t want to be tormented by it, don’t watch it.
Is someone tormented if they aren’t even aware that the torment exists?
Further, politicians and pundits have used hyperbole since the beginning of time; AI is just another method, not another level.
The rules say you must stand in a line and take turns shooting at one another: is it so bad to not play by those rules?
Is the Shutdown Bad or Good? Is it 'fun' and an 'unprecedented opportunity,' or is it 'madness' that must end?
Why either/or?
Embrace the liberative, restorative power of and.
He snatched the image away from use by the left. The way politics is done now includes an attention war waged with images. There no way that the left could come up with a more arresting, attention-getting grim reaper video and hence they won't get attention for their side by calling Trump the grim reaper.
Things might go bad but it won't be because of disrespectful, limit-breaking imagery. I say that because history shows that our form of politics began in the 17C with the events that led up to the Puritan migration to America, the English execution of the Archbishop of Canterbury, then the King's chief advisor, Lord Wentworth, then the King while a Civil War raged. The Puritans developed a character called Martin Mar-Prelate who relentlessly ridiculed the Prelates, the bishops. And the caricatures that circulated featured gallows and excrement. But out of this came a system of parties, toleration, the concept of a "loyal Opposition." This is all sort of breaking down right now but the nastiness of the memewars is the same sort of stuff that was going on when the system was built up. The desire for total power and the corruption are also the same as they were in the 17C and they are the reaper we need to fear.
Pulling the toxic left's networks out by the root -
Never enough.
The Anglican bishops in England were "the experts" of their time - corrupt authorities resistant to reform who in their own view were impartial arbiters of truth.
For those complaining about Trump et alia, I still say, "This is the BEST CASE scenario."
’…are the members of blue oyster cult still alive - or did they meet the reaper?’
A few are still around. I saw them in concert in the 70’s. Great show, with fog machines and lasers. Not kidding…
Kaka at 6:37 AM
You just admitted that Trump is better than establishment Republicans and the entire Democrat party. Even if just being "bad" instead of "worse." I trust your admission will be reflected in your future comments.
The MSM news about shut down is having more effect on ignorant people than the actual shutdown.
Stopped on a walk to talk to normal non political neighbor is her 80,s . She is genuinely frightened of consequences. No meds gonna be available, and if they are, will cost 75% more. A million govt. people fired. Airports closing. No food in grocery stores. No SS, no Medicare, hospitals closing.
And , best of all, she thinks Trump wants to rule the world.
Not sure if she thought that one up due to the rest of the propaganda, or if she actually heard it on TV, her only source of news.
Poor thing. And no doubt, millions of others believe similar.
"From what’s been reported, even Mr. Trump’s Truth Social posts aren’t written directly by him"
The first mistake is swallowing the lies that are reported about him. The second one is not seeing or looking up the videos from the last Presidential campaign which showed President Trump directly dictating tweets to an assistant who was posting them, word for word, in real time.
Covfefe!

During 2016 campaign, Hillary referred to Fox and right wing as "fake news". Trump grabbed it and turned it around on dems.
Trump as Grim Reaper must strike NYC politicos with even greater fear after years of watching the Yankees. Your team's going down!
All the great cartoons are written at two levels - fun for the kids and thinly disguised adult humor for the people who buy the tickets. Trump understands his cartoonish persona and plays it to the hilt.
It's the same point the Professor made earlier this week about Trump festooning Jeffries with a sombrero - you can try to be serious and play in the court of the pompous asses who've run Washington since the place was built (Trump 45), or you can go around their redoubts of self-regard.
Professional Washington has its share of university Marxists, so Trump and his crew are going Marx Brothers instead. The difference is, unlike Margaret Dumont, the Chuck Schumers and Rachel Maddows aren't in on the joke. And since the Left prefers clapter to comedy, they are in a spiral. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of scolds.
Old whites love to watch NBC.
Mr D. @ 10:36
Perfect 3rd paragraph. Poetic.
The sombrero meme with Schumer's fake dialogue seemed like too much, but the mariachi band behind Jeffries as he whined about memes, was funny.
The idea seems to be to keep throwing memes, and see what sticks. Trump is taking the discussion away from the corporate media that is sympathetic to the DNC, and shifting it to social media where happy shit posters take up the trend.
For decades, politicians have made emotional pleas, rather than persuasive debate. Trump is just playing the game in a new way.
Has anyone here been affected in any way by the shutdown yet?
I've not been but I did see an effect Thursday. Son, gs and I went to Zion National Park Thursday.
Remember how Biden not only closed the parks but blockadeed them including statues a scenic overlooks?
At zion they still had uniformed rangers at the gates passing out maps. The shuttle tour busses still ran, rangers controlled tunnel traffic and so on.
10p%normal as far as I could tell.
Except
They did not collect any fees. The fee collection window was closed.
Didn't affect me as I have a lifetime pass. All national parks, a car and occupants, free. At $80 one time it is still a helluva deal.

Of course fiddles weren't invented in Nero's time and he was in Antium WHEN THE GREAT FIR STARTED but you know how people will run with a theme. (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ETC) I dont understand why people get freaked on trumps antics, the guy is a mental, dementia ridden old man who loves drama and show casing. His obese, slumped over, walks like a sloth ,balding head he can no longer cover mind fukked statements are just all part of the descending persona. Like Karoline(the FABRICATOR) says from the podium "Boy just like to have fun" DONT FORGET "I ts Trump everyday,just like the MAGAS like it!! OORAH!!

"I'd say when you have great power, you must refrain from taunting and tormenting people with it."
So would I if I hadn't been paying attention for the last 20 years or so.
“ The sombrero meme with Schumer's fake dialogue seemed like too much, but the mariachi band behind Jeffries as he whined about memes, was funny.”
Maybe. But then it pissed off and embarrassed the Dems. They should have just ignored it. But didn’t, and whined about it instead. So, that meant that Trump (etc) was above the target, and so it is now the face of the shutdown. With promises of more and bigger sombreros every day.
“ 5 - "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
“6 - "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."”
And Trump’s base is enjoying it, while his opponents are screaming like little girls.
Yes, I’ve noticed that since Charlie Kirk was killed, there are rightists who love the trash talk and “jokes” about their opponents, yet they act like snowflakes if the left hands it back to them. Then we hear from the right how the left is going to kill them all because they’ve been criticized. The Civility Bullshit thing has truly no meaning anymore.
it punctuates their priorities illegals over citizens, criminals over law abiding, rinse and repeat,
“But then it pissed off and embarrassed the Dems.”
You can’t be serious, it’s the right who has embarrassed themselves, we on the left are laughing… at you. It shows the nation just how unserious this administration is.
back then, you think the Bureau would have gone after Jay Jones incendiary notions, of course not they were trying to destroy everyone on the right, by any means neccessary, if
they couldn't jail or bankrupt you, they would deplatform you,

“Because you think murdering people is pretty funny.”
Are you insane?
Intelligence continues to chase Igna, but she has been widening her lead over it.
We on the left are laughing at Trump’s stupid videos, yet you try to say we are laughing at people being killed. This is so sick, such twisted thinking. People on the left do not want to kill, you, we do not laugh about killing you, it’s astounding that you Big Mike seriously think you are being targeted by people on the left. Such thinking is not normal.
its actually worse than that, they habitually lie about the victims of their rhetoric, like that pathetic groyper bullshit,

You’re talking about the Democrat Party.
Democrats had the opportunity to have a real primary. Maybe RFK would have won that primary. Then the Presidential race would have been better versus best. But Democrat voters have no agency. Your candidate was chosen by your party leaders. Instead of following them sheepishly that’s when Democrat voters like yourself should have stood up. They, you should have fought (with words) for agency. Win or lose you would be less angry now. But your anger is not Republicans’ fault. You folks need to focus your anger at your leaders in the Democrat Party. I know you think that’s a fight you wouldn’t win. But this election or the next election the win would eventually be yours. It’s not too late to start.

For me, the drums do seem more likely than the French horn for James Hamel Bowman. To play drums you need to hold a stick and hit something. JHB seems better at hitting things with sticks v playing an actual instrument. So I guess that's the point of him re drums.

Like the song says, I don’t fear the Reaper, although I certainly do not seek him out. He is a powerful figure that symbolizes that all things in life, including life itself, must come to an end.
What I fear comes after he does his grim duty. Because right behind him on a squeaky undersized tricycle is a little nebbish that harvests the remains for votes for the Democratic Party.

That is because thousands of democrats were literally dancing in the streets when Kirk was killed.
It is kinda obvious that your political party wants to kill Republicans.
@Michael Fitzgerald
The first mistake is...
I only said it had been reported. I haven’t seen any of those recent clips myself. The only current image I’ve found shows Ms. Harp at a laptop in the Oval Office, with Mr. Trump to her left and Mr. Vance to her right — her hand on the keyboard as he looks toward the screen. It could be dictation, or just direction; hard to tell from a still.
What really got me thinking about this was his NBC interview describing a call with the Oregon governor. He said he asked whether he was “watching things on television that are different from what’s happening,” mentioning “fires all over the place.” If that was live footage, that’s one thing — but if it was a report mixing older clips with new commentary, it would suggest his perception was being shaped by the way the footage was framed. It made me wonder how much of what reaches him now is filtered in that way.
Shutdown theater has been there since the beginning. I was in D.C. during the shutdown under Mr. Clinton’s administration — spending money to fence off open-air monuments is a time-honored tradition. lol
It would be interesting if the left had a single leader to unify them. I wonder if Mr. Trump’s ridicule would then be directed more toward that individual — a kind of symbolic duel. Two charismatic standard-bearers make for a very different dynamic than one showman playing to a fragmented audience.
The man is having fun. He didn’t ask for the shutdown, didn’t want it perhaps. But hey “you never let a crisis go to waste,” am I right.
Beats watching the leftie congressional members burst a vein on CNN.
