Now here are some realistic and optimistic words around the future of the USA and its from Warren Buffett

 

I agree with almost everything he says  8)

"Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss”

John Milton 

"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -  George Bernard Shaw

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela

There was a new John Oliver video about Trump, which got promptly set to private, then removed, then reuploads by others quickly get flagged with copyright claims. Anyone know what's up with that?

 

I can see it there on their channel, but it's been blocked for Sweden for some reason.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Maybe you are starting to realize the outcome of a US Presidential election is not as important as it's made out to be.

If Buffett says it it must be so. If this election turns out not to be important, then the Republicans are the most useless party in the history of the world.

Well, I can't say this is particularly heartening:

Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

I didn't write this but I thought it was perfect:

 

It's like a rock paper scissors of jerks.

Or a logic puzzle.

Donald Trump needs to get across the river in a canoe with his staff. The canoe only holds Trump and two people. His staff are a homophobic woman, a racist homosexual and a misogynist black man. When Trump is not present, those with hateful tendencies will act on them. How does Trump get his staff across the river?

If China isn't going to restrain its mad dog, then it's high time both Japan and S Korea had nuclear arms. Why should they believe we'd get into a nuclear war for them?

Didn't you hear? Peter Thiel is not gay. Because just like racism is prejudice + power. Gay is homosexuality + progressive politics.

So there you go, defending Western values and being against multi-culti makes you a white supremacist:

a movement often associated with white supremacist ideas that oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values.”

Just out of curiosity, how's Thiel a racist?

 

"He supported Hogan who called his daughter's boyfriend the n word. Plus he supports Trump who is racist, sexist and homophobic which means he can't be gay and must hate women as well as hating pocs. He also hates free speech because he and Hogan [plus the jury that awarded Hogan more than he asked for] put Gawker out of business and media should be protected [when targeting those I dislike]. He's alt right [gak] and just a horrible rich white guy whose policies would target the poor who include a lot of pocs"

 

Slight paraphrasing, of course, but I've seen all those 'arguments' made.

 

My response would normally be an eye roll and quote of Cicero's devastatingly casual response 'narratus tepidarius frater' which so infuriated Mark Anthony, if it weren't so emblematic of everything that went wrong on the 'progressive' side. Hypocritical, unappealing to anyone who isn't already convinced yet appears to be effective because the only opinions valued by those saying it are people who already agree with them. As someone who actually is pretty left it's about the most stupid tactic I can imagine, it's already failed and continuing use of it just suggests that lessons will not be learned.

Ah, Twitter.

Twitter is the world's armpit.

 

Edit:  On second thought, Twitter is that stretch of skin between your dong (if you're male) or hoohah (if you're female) and your ***hole, the taint.  Twitter, the world's taint.

Puppies and coloring books in the "safe spaces" LOL!. I have two questions:

 

1. Were they being mocked?

2. If yes do they know it?
