It was fun being on the Boeing 757 with Trump. Before the flight from Boston to Bangor, he’d ordered lunch for the crew — McDonald’s all the way. Not an affectation like Hillary at Chipotle — he tore off the buns (“Do you know how many calories you save that way?”) and then doused the patties with ketchup before gobbling them down.
He travels in an easy chair in front of a large TV screen turned to Fox. He reads until his name is mentioned by one of the anchors. Given how he dominates the coverage, this doesn’t leave him much time for reading.
Third, McDonald's is not a treat. McDonald's is what parents get their kids because, look, it was a long day at work, this the fastest option on the way home, and the words "dollar menu" have a certain frugal appeal. McDonald's is the food equivalent of a Snoopy bandage. It’s cute. It’s available. It’s not a long-term solution.
Follow-up: As someone who is mildly afraid of the miracle of flight, I would buy my pilots and crew something nice. Like a steak, a fresh salad, or if I’m feeling like a conduit of the people, Chipotle.
Fourth, you can’t talk about Donald Trump’s love for McDonald's as a signifier of an everyman, then, in the same paragraph, compliment the guy for cutting calories by scrapping the bun.
Fifth, if your buddy eats McDonald's by bare palming a naked beef patty slathered in ketchup, you do not share that with the world. And if you do, you most certainly don’t use the verb "gobble."
Sixth, "given how he dominates the coverage, this doesn’t leave him much time for reading." Just imagine: we could one day turn to a President who doesn’t read, because he’s a modern Narcissus, hopelessly caught in his own cable news reflection.

The Brexit has laid bare the political schism of our time. It’s not about the left vs. the right; it’s about the sane vs. the mindlessly angry.[...]
The schism we see opening before us is not just about policies, but about reality. The Brexit forces won because cynical leaders were prepared to cater to voters’ paranoia, lying to them about the dangers of immigration and the costs of membership in the EU. Some of those leaders have already begun to admit that they were lying. Donald Trump has, of course, set a new standard for disingenuousness and catering to voters’ fears, whether over immigration or foreign trade or anything else he can think of. The Republican Party, already rife with science-deniers and economic reality-deniers, has thrown itself into the embrace of a man who fabricates realities that ignorant people like to inhabit.
Did I say “ignorant”? Yes, I did. It is necessary to say that people are deluded and that the task of leadership is to un-delude them. Is that “elitist”? Maybe it is; maybe we have become so inclined to celebrate the authenticity of all personal conviction that it is now elitist to believe in reason, expertise, and the lessons of history. If so, the party of accepting reality must be prepared to take on the party of denying reality, and its enablers among those who know better. If that is the coming realignment, we should embrace it.

On the other hand, giving stupid children enough rope is not a bad move in the direction of population control &/or reduction. Nor are parents w/o blame. (Are they ever?) Another quandary where nihilism seems the only answer.
"I think the church must not only apologize ... to a gay person it offended, but we must apologize to the poor, to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons" and for having failed to accompany families who faced divorces or experienced other problems.
According to Christy Sheats' Facebook page, she was a gun owner and vocal advocate for the second amendment.
"It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away," Sheats wrote in March on her Facebook page, "but that's exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns."
What the fucking hell is wrong w/ people? Truly, America is the worst!
A Georgia judge could face disciplinary action after losing his cool with a defendant who threatened to kill and dismember his children during a courtroom argument.
Denver Fenton Allen appeared last week before Judge Bryant Durham Jr. to face charges that he beat a fellow inmate to death in August at the Floyd County Jail, reported the Rome News-Tribune.
The 31-year-old Allen, who is charged with killing Stephen Rudolph Nalley, lobbed threats and insults at the judge during an 11-minute hearing on June 17.
Allen told the judge he would murder his family and cut his “children up into little pieces.”
“I’ll knock their brains out with a fucking hammer and feed them to you,” Allen said. “The babies will be going, ‘Daddy, daddy, help me.’”
Durham told the man he didn’t have children, and Allen said he’d do the same thing to the judge’s nieces, nephews and sisters.
The judge told Allen he didn’t have any sisters, nieces or nephews, and he threatened to put him in “jail so long you won’t have a chance.”
The argument continued to escalate, with Allen repeatedly saying, “fuck you,” as the judge added additional days to his penalty for contempt of court.
Allen asked for a new attorney, saying his public defender had requested oral sex in exchange for his defense, and then the defendant invited Durham to do the same.
“This is going to be an interesting trial,” Durham said.
Allen then asked to introduce his “big old donkey dick” as evidence, and the judge began yelling at him as the pair traded insults.
Let's pause for just a moment & enjoy some music.
That was refreshing, wasn't it? Now back to our story.
The defendant claimed he had sex with boys, and the judge said he wasn’t surprised — but then he made comments that could land him before the state judicial ethics agency.
“Oh, of course,” Durham said. “You know, you look like a queer.”
Allen asked if the judge was “calling (him) a queer in the courtroom.”
“I didn’t call you one,” Durham said. “I said you looked like one.”
The judge then told Allen he was “cute,” and that he was sure other inmates “love you to death.”
“I’ll bet everybody enjoys fucking your ass,” Durham said.
Allen then claimed he would masturbate in court, and Durham dared him to do so.
The hearing finally ended after Allen called Durham “judge fuckman,” and the judge called the defendant “stupid.”
“I’ve enjoyed this,” Durham said. “I hope you have. I know everybody else in the courtroom has enjoyed it, but you can go now.”
I do enjoy the murderous apes comprising the dominant primate species of this world of shit & pain dropping the civility & expressing themselves aloud in public venues like rabid zoo animals flinging feces in their cages.
Couldn't (possibly) care (any) less about English gits & their pathetic fear of wogs driving them from the E.U., but there is hope the punters have returned the world's economy to the dumper as "Asian shares sink" in reaction.

A flannelgraph. Does that look more like Adam & Bambi than Adam & Eve?
From The Babylon Bee (apparently an Xian attempt at The Onion).
NEW YORK, NY—As Donald Trump prepared to meet with hundreds of top Evangelical leaders Tuesday morning, his aides were given the daunting task of trying to get the Republican presidential candidate up to speed on some basic biblical history. Turning to a method they knew would connect with Trump on his level, they reportedly dusted off an old flannelgraph found in the basement of a local church to give the real estate mogul a “quick primer” on key Bible stories.
“This guy right here? He’s Moses, who parted the Red Sea*,” an aide is said to have slowly explained, putting up a felt likeness of the prophet as Trump blasted a liberal on Twitter on his phone. “Mr. Trump? Are you listening?”
“Yeah, Moab. Got it. Great guy, Moab. One of my favorites in the New Testament,” Trump declared while still looking at his phone, according to sources. The aide then reportedly moved on to other well-known Bible stories, such as Jonah and the great fish, David and Goliath, and several of Jesus’s famous miracles, carefully telling the stories while illustrating the narratives on the colorful, attractive flannel board designed to keep the attention of even the youngest children.
“Got it. Jonah swallowed a fish, there was a giant shepherd boy, and Jesus went around Iraq yelling at people,” Trump reportedly said. “There’s really not much to this theology stuff. I’m great at theology—the best, really. Don’t know why people think it’s so hard.”
At publishing time, Trump declared he was ready to address the gathering of Evangelical leaders, prompting aides to join hands in a prayer circle and beg God for mercy.
*Wasn't it actually (in the entirely bogus & fictional myth) YHWH/Elohim/Adonai (one of 'em for sure) who parted the Red Sea while Moses just stood there, agape & stuttering?
L.A. Is Going To Have More Days Of 'Extreme Heat,' Says Study
As if that isn't harrowing enough, the study also warns that L.A. could lose what little vestiges of "winter" we have now. The weather models predicted that the Decembers and Januarys of the future will feel more like the Aprils of the past.
Balmy.
There is some hope, though. The dire predictions listed above will only come true in the event of unmitigated climate change. In the event humans band together and somehow drastically reduce our collective global carbon emissions, we should only see a modest increase in "extreme heat."
Assuming we do, and hold ourselves to the standards set at Paris Climate Accord last year, downtown L.A. would see only 15 "extreme" heat days instead of 54.
Assume in one hand & keep burning shit in the other. See which piles up first, ash or assumptions!
Do not be deceived, it is, alas, some whiner bitching & moaning about the plight of the morons in today's smart society, rather than admitting what a drag the cretins are on everything & everyone else.
Those who consider themselves bright openly mock others for being less so. Even in this age of rampant concern over microaggressions and victimization, we maintain open season on the nonsmart. People who’d swerve off a cliff rather than use a pejorative for race, religion, physical appearance, or disability are all too happy to drop the s‑bomb: Indeed, degrading others for being “stupid” has become nearly automatic in all forms of disagreement.
Cue the sad trombones. It's the 21st century, bleeding heart. Catch up or fade away.
We must stop glorifying intelligence and treating our society as a playground for the smart minority. We should instead begin shaping our economy, our schools, even our culture with an eye to the abilities and needs of the majority, and to the full range of human capacity. The government could, for example, provide incentives to companies that resist automation, thereby preserving jobs for the less brainy. It could also discourage hiring practices that arbitrarily and counterproductively weed out the less-well-IQ’ed. This might even redound to employers’ benefit: Whatever advantages high intelligence confers on employees, it doesn’t necessarily make for more effective, better employees. Among other things, the less brainy are, according to studies and some business experts, less likely to be oblivious of their own biases and flaws, to mistakenly assume that recent trends will continue into the future, to be anxiety-ridden, and to be arrogant.
This dunce-loving traitor-to-intelligence is being really racist against smart people, & wants Idiocracy realized.
When Michael Young, a British sociologist, coined the term meritocracy in 1958, it was in a dystopian satire. At the time, the world he imagined, in which intelligence fully determined who thrived and who languished, was understood to be predatory, pathological, far-fetched. Today, however, we’ve almost finished installing such a system, and we have embraced the idea of a meritocracy with few reservations, even treating it as virtuous. That can’t be right. Smart people should feel entitled to make the most of their gift. But they should not be permitted to reshape society so as to instate giftedness as a universal yardstick of human worth.
There are over seven billion of you. Every one of you can be quickly & easily replaced, by someone younger & willing to work for less. No human is "worth" a damn thing on the open market. Give up already.

In 2012, voters in California approved a measure to raise taxes on millionaires, bringing their top state income tax rate to 13.3 percent, the highest in the nation. Conservative economists predicted calamity, or at least a big slowdown in growth. Also that year, the governor of Kansas signed a series of changes to the state's tax code, including reducing income and sales tax rates. Conservative economists predicted a boom.
Neither of those predictions came true. Not right away -- California grew justfine in the year the tax hikes took effect -- and especially not in the medium term, as new economic data showed this week.
Now, correlation does not, as they say, equal causation, and two examples are but a small sample. But the divergent experiences of California and Kansas run counter to a popular view, particularly among conservative economists, that tax cuts tend to supercharge growth and tax increases chill it.
Once again we see that one side (the left) is correct & one side (the right) is wrong. Man bites dog. And delusional conservative economists can bite my ass!
Should you like to hear our state song, to which I & millions of others have been subjected, esp. during baseball games (Indeed, it just ran on the Dodger game as I was searching YouTube for it!) for the last four yrs., now is your chance to suffer as well.

Most exciting (You can't really call it that; interesting, maybe.) event of the day in my experience (Whatever you may have seen is of interest only to you, pal!) was four horses (w/ troopers) from the L.A.P.D. Metro Squad's Mounted Unit using the crosswalks at Sunset Bl. & Western Ave.
West on Sunset then south on Western if you give a whatever at a rolling dough-nut. No idea what they were up to; acclimating the horses to vehicle traffic? No more sidewalk hostesses to move from one prostitution hotspot to another in these days of social media, not that the mounted unit has ever (to my knowledge) done that.
The T-shirt of an attendee at a Donald Trump rally in Pittsburgh in April.

As tastefully cropped by The WaPo.
“I’m a pretty blunt person, so it’s kind of how I feel about things,” said Amanda Feather, a 35-year-old mother of six who is a property manager in Asheboro, N.C., and bought one of the T-shirts before attending the rally with her husband and two young daughters. “I think coming from Trump it would probably be inappropriate. From a voter’s point of view, I think we have the right. . . . If that’s how we feel, we should have the right to say it. And I would tell it to her face if she walked up. That’s how I feel about her.”
Would you like to know this voter's point of view, "pretty blunt" landlady scum? No? Then hush & get back to collecting money for your boss, witch.
William Redwine, a 29-year-old truck driver who lives outside of Greensboro, bought one of the shirts at the Tuesday night rally here after seeing the design online.
“I’ve been wanting one,” said Redwine, a former Democrat who said he became a Republican when Obama was running for office. “It’s kind of funny. . . . I’m not politically correct on a lot of things anyway. . . . There are better words to describe Hillary, but — why not?”
Redwine said he thinks that Trump will stabilize the job market, which has been difficult for him in recent years, and that he doesn’t like Clinton because of Benghazi, donations she and her husband accepted for their foundation and conspiracy theories about her connections to the Islamic State terrorists.
“It may be true, it may not,” he said. “The dots kind of connect.”
Another T-shirt buyer on Tuesday night was Travis Beasley, 36, who lives in Greensboro and works an assortment of jobs.
“It’s politically incorrect,” Beasley said of the shirt. “She’s crooked — I think I was calling her crooked before I heard him say it. He took the words right out of my mouth. You can just tell by looking at her, you know? You can just tell by the way she acts. You know how sometimes you just get gut feelings about things?”
Sure, Travis. All the time. You know what gut feelings I get about things like you & Trump?
Neither the "became a Republican when Obama was running for office", "Trump will stabilize the job market" (Whuh?) truck driver nor the "assortment of jobs" guy (Can you sense the condescension dripping from the keyboard?) can top the breeder scum parasite"mother of six who is a property manager" for emotional disturbance, however.
A discussion of the b-word and Clinton often leads to Trump supporters saying that their attacks on her have nothing to do with her being a woman. But Feather — the mother of six wearing the “TRUMP THAT BITCH!” shirt in Greensboro on Tuesday night — said the country would suffer with a woman in the White House.
“There are too many countries who demean their women that I think if we have a woman in office, it’s really going to hurt our country more than anything, because they have no respect for women,” Feather said as her two young daughters listened. “And then I think our attacks in our country and our issues in our country are going to become even greater, because those countries are not going to have that respect for us. And we’re already starting to lose it. And I don’t think we need a woman to make us lose it even more.”
The mind boggles, the jaw drops, &c. In all fairness, is all this an exceptionally arcane form of performance art (No question these jag-offs jack their fears up to 11 for the evil librul yada from The Washington Post, but c'mon.) rather than psychological issues & willful ignorance?
Reminder to pathetic remainder of the United Snakes: You need us, losers, we don't need you. Better be nice!
California Overtakes France to Become Sixth-Largest Economy
California has overtaken France as the world’s sixth-largest economy, fueled by strong growth and the U.S. dollar’s gains against foreign currencies, state data released Tuesday show.
The most-populous U.S. state, with a gross domestic product of $2.5 trillion, has also eclipsed recession-plagued Brazil.
“This is the result of both good growth in California and exchange-rate movements of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies,” said Irena Asmundson, chief economist in the California Department of Finance.
Governor Jerry Brown, 78, is running the state during an economic turnaround driven by technology companies including Facebook Inc. and Apple Inc., along with agricultural and manufacturing industries that lead the U.S. Since taking office in 2011, Brown steered the state away from fiscal turmoil and persistent deficits to budget surpluses.
In comparison, the fly-blown fly-over state of Kansas:
There's a green one and a pink one/And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky/And they all look just the same.
In recent years, Kansas has become a battleground for conservative ideals. Traditionally, Kansas was a moderate state, with the governorship switching every other election between Democratic and Republican governors. But the election of hyper-conservative Sam Brownback as governor heralded a new age of far right wing ideology.
It wasn’t just that Brownback was conservative; it was that he is seen as a tool of the Koch brothers and ALEC, a conservative think tank and lobbying organization. Brownback used his influence and funding to eliminate “moderate” republicans from the Kansas legislature and install his hand-picked conservative cronies. He couldn’t do the same with the Kansas Supreme Court, which has ruled a number of the conservative legislature’s laws as unconstitutional, so Brownback’s administration decided to threaten to cut off funding to the court system and is actively pursuing legislation to impeach the Supreme Court.
Kansas has become a test center of “trickle down” economics, espoused by economist Arthur Laffer during the Reagan years. Nowhere has there been as thorough an implementation of Laffer’s policy recommendations… and nowhere has there been as dramatic a failure of government.
Under Brownback’s direction, Kansas implemented an unprecedented tax cut in 2012, eliminating taxes for LLCs and professional firms (for full disclosure, PHI is a C Corporation) and making the largest cuts in the highest tax brackets. He shifted taxes to create a heavier burden on property and sales taxes, which typically represent a larger burden on lower income brackets. Brownback declared that this tax cut would be a “shot of adrenaline” for the Kansas economy, but the reality is that the tax cuts have had the opposite effect. Kansas lags neighboring states in job growth. For 11 of the last 12 months, Kansas has dramatically missed revenue targets, falling deeper in debt and facing another round of degraded bond ratings.
The worst part is that the burdens for the shortfalls rest on the shoulders of those who can least afford it – children and the developmentally disabled.

Los Angeles has burned countless times, in both fiction and fact, to say nothing of the Bad Religion song. "It is a curious form of romantic self-aggrandizement, one familiar from untold numbers of novels, short stories, films and songs that has now spread to video games," according to New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis.
"No other city" as Mike Davis wrote in Ecology of Fear "seems to excite such dark rapture." According the Davis, the destruction of the city has been a theme in at least 138 novels and films since 1909, and many of them were created right here in the dream factory. We are more than a little obsessed with what Davis called "the conflagrationist potential of Los Angeles."
The National Weather Service (NWS) says that we're in for a 'kiln-like' heat wave into the upcoming weekend, peaking sometime on Monday, when temperatures across the Southland are, almost universally, predicted to cross the 100-degree threshold.
As the NWS says in their long-term forecast, "there is a very real chance that this heat wave will be one for the record books, and it almost certainly will produce hazardous heat-related conditions."

Stop flapping your gums & flailing your fingers, assholes & dullards. Mass murder has been going on in this shithole of a nation since Charles Whitman wheeled his trunk of guns & ammo to the top of that tower & started on the sheep in 1966the first massacre of native people on this continent, whenever that was; if nothing's changed in the 500 yrs. since (or the 50 since the Texas Tower) nothing will change now.
Stop the pointless hand-wringing; it only reveals what stupid jerks you are, & it bores me!
Dragging out the wounded.When this reporter hit the sack earlier news had just broken & the body count was an estimated 20; now it turns out to be the greatest shooting massacre (by a civilian) in U.S. history. 50 for one seems worth the effort. Moar gunz, damnit, especially for me!
And after hearing the Federal Bureau of Incompetents admit they blew it three times w/ the alleged shooter, we are again reminded that it's all a fucking joke (except the straight-up lying) & there's no reason to believe anything you're told by anyone, ever.
The Philadelphia 76ers have become the first team in the four major U.S. sports to sell an ad on a jersey.
The 76ers announced Monday morning that ticket company StubHub will have its logo on the team's jerseys beginning in the 2017-18 season, when the NBA's three-year pilot program will start.
Sources with knowledge of the deal say the team has sold all three seasons at $5 million a year, with the option to extend the contract with StubHub should the league continue to allow the 2½-by-2½-inch logo patch to be on the jerseys in the future.
"We are about being first, being different, being innovative and getting to market at quickly as we can," 76ers CEO Scott O'Neil said. "We're thrilled that the NBA has decided to be an innovator among the major sports leagues in this country, we're happy that we will be the beneficiaries, and we know that being first here will drive value for our partner."
Figures the puh-thetic 'Sixers would be first to jump on this ugliness.
Pimping & prostitution aside, shouldn't the N.B.A. be giving serious thought to contracting at least the two worst-performing teams into the dustbin of history, as well as shortening the season by six or eight games? Enough already.

Orange County, California. It's just one big trailermobile home park:
A judge who was censured for having sex with two women in his chambers has handily won reelection in Orange County.
Scott Steiner beat veteran prosecutor Karen Schatzle 56 percent to 44 percent in Tuesday's election, according to unofficial results from the county registrar of voters.
Steiner has been a Superior Court judge since 2011.
The Los Angeles Times says he was censured by the Commission on Judicial Performance in 2014 for having sex with two women — his intern and a practicing lawyer — in chambers. He also was reprimanded for failing to disqualify himself from a case involving a longtime friend.
Steiner ultimately acknowledged wrongdoing.
When will such scum start paying the price for their immorality, rather than being excused (& then actually rewarded) merely by "acknowledging wrongdoing"?
