Sandbox – 6jan17

06 January 2017

[Apologies for another overdue sandbox. Boy, they sure fill up fast. I would personally enjoy readers' thoughts on airport massacres, the new venue of choice for terrorists and madmen to carry out mass shootings in highly crowded environments where the shooter is guaranteed by the federal government to be the only one armed (save the readily identifiable and evadable security personnel). And the best part of such exchanges is to once more hear the pinhead progressives conclude that too many CCWs are the real problem. gjr]

George, the Wall as a porosity measure, not a physical thing, would be a more powerful thing if Trump had been making that distinction… He kept doubling down on the physical wall… I expect that was his initial negotiating position, it will soften.

“t’s sad to see how much more of a sense of humor the Russians have than Progressives.”

More of a sense of humor? Well, more is greater than none so it doesn’t take much.

Dr. Rebane:
Yeah, this Russian thing won’t go away. It’s political advantageous to the Alt-Left to keep the corpse alive by any means available. It’s the only thing that keeps them hanging on. The Last Gaspers cling to it like Hillary grabbing the silverware when leaving the White House back in the Bubba days. Maybe it’s a good thing to let our friends on the dark side of the street pretend they are still revelant.
The Wall was a nice distraction for an hour. Drudge has a story about it this morning, but I haven’t bothered to read it nor plan to. Just not that into it right now. You are correct as usual….probably a yawner.
The silver lining about The Wall is it gets our very own Last Gasper the glorious opportunity to cry out from the wilderness “Trump Lied, Trump lied!!” as evidenced by The Wall posts starting at 8:56 PM last night and ending at 12:07 AM to start the day. That is more exciting that the Wall itself.
12:07 am? Hmmm. Now, that was one long day for our Last Gasper yesterday. He started early in the morn and kept it up past midnight. The voices in his head must have been real loud yesterday. The silver lining is that since I have embraced the hate, the noises in Putang Paulssy’s noggin don’t bother me. 🙂
Yes, the Wall is great symbolic imagery for unapologetically declaring “This is our home.”
Next up on the Last Gasper’s play list is defending Arnold against that meanie Trump. Annie was once a bad hombre, but he was no Trump.

Good questions Fish and Walt. Walt, the Russians seem to have a vested interest in Trump becoming President. Knowing the ruthless dictator that Putin is you can bet that it’s for his own personal gain. My guess is that for a start they will remove sanctions imposed during the Crimea invasions. That will please both Putin and Exxon, employer of our new Secretary of State. The opposition of the sanctions by Exxon is well documented on these pages due to my effort. One thing for sure is that this is not Reagan-Gorbachev with their finger on the trigger. Trump and Putin are both crafty self promoters and billionaires always looking to fatten their already bulging wallets. I am very concerned that Trump is out of his league here and Putin will play him like a top. That’s why it was party time in Moscow when Trump got elected. Especially with Trump going gooey about Putin during the campaign. You have faith in this guy walt. I consider his a self basting gobbler with not a clue as to what he’s getting into. I grew to respect Reagan and appreciated his coy wisdom and knowledge of the craft of being President. Trump is off to a very bad start by his ignoring the consequences of playing buddy buddy with Putin. He will learn but the consequences could be disastrous. I hope I’m wrong.
Fish I’ll get to your question later. It’s a very good one.
We have suffered through 16 years of a failed foreign policy. I amnot at all hopeful about the next four.

You wrote “hack DNC websites-” or was that in the report. Anyone with a browser can hack a website with the Crome browser. Select the Developers Tool and View Source. Did you mean to say “DNC” server? Did the report mean to say server? The emails were stored on an easly hacked server, not on a web page. Though they can be viewed on a web page.
In intel speak assess means “we guess.” No smoking gun evidence in the report, only a consensus guess by multiple people. Was it a good guess, most likely as the Russians have been hacking government systems ever since the Internet went public a long time ago.
The part that is disturbing is that when the FBI informed the DNC they were a target in 2009 they did nothing. They were so vulnerable that a 14-year-old could hack them. in Hillary’s emails released yesterday by the State Dept, the staff was openly passing around passwords in open emails. You do not need to be a crack Russian hacker to hack the DNC, they were hacked with a phishing email. A very commonly used hacking tool used by thousands of hacker around the world.
You have been distracted by the claim the Russian did it, the Russian did. Maybe they did, but thousands could have. The real issue is the Democrats and you do not want to discuss the contents of the emails which exposed the Democrats for what they really are — bad people, who lie to, cheat on, and defame US voters. Now you know why Trump won!

None of this “nation building”crap of Bush 11 and Obama.
My biggest concern about Trump is his self centered narcissistic personality. Why in hell was it important for him to tweet about Arnold’s low ratings on the Survivor TV show? Who gives a rats ass? Just an example. Another was his tirade about the bad review of one of his restaurants. Why does he think anyone cares.

Anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton is less a narcissist than Trump has a screw loose. That goes for Bubba, too.
The Clintons love voters. Cats love mice.
Johnson did OK, considering he was aced out of the “debates”, consigning the LIB candidate to the back of the bus.
The dynamic is well known and captured by Douglas Adams in “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish”

“On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”
“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”
“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”
“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?”
“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”
“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”
“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”
“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”
“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in.”

I remember when I first went LIB, Ed Clark and David Koch (yes, THAT David Koch) were running against Carter and Ronald Reagan… I had a number of friends who agreed with EVERYTHING in the LIB platform, but just would not pull that trigger because Carter really was that bad.

Mr. Paul. This is on the up and up. Cross my heart. Something to share….no political or personal points to score:
When I hear the same name or message from 3 different sources in a a short time span, I start paying attention. Here goes:
1) In another time and place, I had a sole conversion with Ali’s Olympic coach in a very relaxed setting.. He said you don’t coach Ali. He has animalistic instincts. Can’t coach that. Can’t coach Ali.
2) Ali was told as a professional that he would never win a fight by keeping his head back. Can’t do it. Never win. Bad plan. Bad game plan. Nobody wins a fight holding their head back. They did not appreciate or know about animalistic instincts. Ali could keep his head back and his animalistic instincts kicked in and he didn’t need his gloves to stave off hits to the face. Head back and fight.
3) You mentioned Ali and bob and weave. Putin is a judo master. Not karate, judo. Karate arm blocks the incoming blows, judo uses a whole different approach to defense. When O kicked the Ruskie Diplomat spies out, Putin just sidestepped it a step by not reacting in kind and watched Obama fall face down on the ground. Didn’t even lay a hand on him. Obama got up and ordered ballalions to 3 different countries on Putin’s border. Putin is a judo master.
4) Ali’s name is popping up in post election political stories.
What’s the moral of this story? I think everything Trump does may be on gut instinct (first). Then verify and make a decision. Uses his daughter for a gut check at times. Animalistic instinct if you allow me. His gut said the Russian hacking the DNC e-mail story smells fishy to him. His gut instincts told him something in the story just not sound rifght. We will never know because we will never see that kind of (classified) Intel in the report. Putin has animalistic instincts as well.
Moral is I think you might be underestimating or not appreciating Trump going by gut instincts. It’s done him well in life…so far.
