Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 02 Aug 20 - 03:03 PM Recall when McCain wanted to go into Syria guns ablazin. Obama put the brakes on that to a degree and he did allow Putin to have at it. Russia accelerated their air campaign in Syria, Obama also deported several Russia spy houses over election interference. When Trump 'took over the US' policy became more confused but still maintained a presence in Syria in cooperation with Russia to not attack their planes. I have lost track about what we are doing there today. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Stilly River Sage Date: 02 Aug 20 - 01:08 PM Joe Scarborough posted an opinion in the Washington Post yesterday. It's a stunner: None dare call it treason, but perhaps one day they will Here's part of it: What a tremendous burden it must be for you to still be defending President Trump. You have called yourself a constitutional conservative for decades, but now you sit silently as the president pushes to move this year’s election because he might lose. Even some Republican senators are speaking up. Why aren’t you? Trump remembers how you ran interference for him when he claimed unlimited powers under Article II of the Constitution, so he thinks you will stay quiet. Remember your silence after Charlottesville? You eventually mustered the nerve to claim Trump never preached moral equivalence between torch-carrying Nazis and protesters. How unthoughtful it was of David Duke to expose you by praising the president’s putrid performance and thanking Trump for his “honesty and courage to tell the truth.” The former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard even bragged to reporters that Charlottesville represented a “turning point” for white nationalism. “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump,” Duke proclaimed. “That’s why we voted for [him].” Ouch. That one had to sting, but you kept on defending Donald. If you had a political soul after that shameful stunt, the Cold Warrior in you would have been as sickened by Trump’s retreat from Germany as U.S. strategists were over his ceding of Syria to Vladimir Putin, handing Moscow a foothold in the Middle East for the first time since 1973. No country was a closer ally during the Cold War than West Germany, and no nation is more critical to Europe’s future now than a unified Germany. Undermining the U.S.-German alliance because of an ignorant misunderstanding of NATO’s dues structure undermines the historic work that Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush completed throughout the Cold War’s final years. But there you are, silently supporting a demagogue who sits by while intelligence suggests Russia’s leader put bounties on the heads of young American troops. Trump instead plays Putin’s apologist by declaring the United States equally guilty. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 24 Jul 20 - 11:33 AM I might be too overqualified for the job - As well as having a go at the cognitive test, I also have qualifications in Computer Studies and Business Studies. Nowithstanding, I think I could do a better job than the turnip - but the gun nuts and other lobbyists would disagree with me. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 24 Jul 20 - 06:55 AM Praise is 6 months late regarding Trump saying tepidly "Masks are Ok". He also canceled the convention in Florida. People are desperate as unemployment insurance expires this week' A moritorium om evictions also ends this month compounding despration and protests. A Trump response will be punishing. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 24 Jul 20 - 06:35 AM TI remember reading somewhere that when the turnip bragged about #acing' his cognition test he referred to how tough some of the later questions are. I had a go at a test online and got 30/30 so I am going to add this to my list of qualifications on my cv. The fact I got the same marks as a president of a major country must put me in very good stead. With regards to golf, we would have to ban spectators and competitors from USA until they get their daily numbers of infections and deaths below ours. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 23 Jul 20 - 06:50 PM I think a super spreader event in Scotland like a Trump British Open would be tragic. What would be great would be Scotland conning Trump into foreclosure. A scenario comes to mind telling Trump to come on over "yeah we'll have you do the British Open", then charge spectators 20,000 apiece and not televise the event but instead pre empt broadcast for a national emergency pandemic alert. Trump would yell "I'll sue!" Then Scotland says "go ahead, we let you plan the event and YOU failed to do so. PAY US" |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: gillymor Date: 10 Jul 20 - 11:03 AM Twit bragged yesterday that he "aced" his cognition test and that the "doctors couldn't believe it". No comment necessary but I wonder if he got the same guy to take it for him that took his SATs. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 10 Jul 20 - 07:17 AM Speaking of kids, Disney World opens tommorrow, schools are to be forced open while infections explode by 1,400 %, Immigrant child detention centers still punish kids to sleep on concrete with mylar blankets, Infection rates in some facilities is 50 to 75 percent. Is this child abuse? |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: EBarnacle Date: 08 Jul 20 - 10:48 PM When I first saw this title, I misread it as Trump, then reread it. I finally opened it today. I was disappointed to discover I misread it right the first time. I would much have preferred a cooking thread, as Agent Orange gets too much press already. As far as IQ, if you lower someone whose IQ is 50 to 0, they become immobile blobs of protoplasm, with only reflexive responses and vegetative functions. HMMM, perhaps I'm wrong and it did happen. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 08 Jul 20 - 04:16 PM I think the decision of paramount foolishness has been reached in ordering the opening of schools. It is an ultimate mistake. It will become the largest petri dish in most Ameican homes. Its bad enough ordering meat packers to work like slaves. And what of treating teachers and administration like meat packers? I bet Govenors are unwilling to do what teachers would be ordered to do. Since when is being an American citizen about following Trump orders? It is said my opinions come from atop a high horse. Better a high horse than a deep grave. btw I only rode a horse once, I don't have a knack for it. ;^/ |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 07 Jul 20 - 08:41 PM Dear Donald are you really ordering kids back to school at this all time high infection rate moment in time? What about Ivanka's kids or your own? You could be ordering your own death warrant. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 06 Jul 20 - 11:46 AM The herculean effort to add the electoral college to the Constitution became the very thing it was designed to correct in short order and we have lived with that fact instead of repealing it but this Court decision puts a tourneket on the bleeding. This not good news for Trump. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Jul 20 - 11:17 AM The Supremes have apparently let states force their "faithless electors" to vote for the candidate of the party who sent them to the electoral college. Trump will see this as a win, even as states enact legislation to null the electoral college. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/us/electoral-college-supreme-court.html Every four years, weeks after Election Day, the members of the Electoral College cast the actual votes for president. Many states have laws requiring electors to pledge that they will support the winner of the state’s popular vote, but electors occasionally go rogue. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Mr Red Date: 06 Jul 20 - 02:43 AM So you have concluded from these two isolated pieces of evidence that global warming is "runaway." There are many tipping points that have been identified, some with bleeding obvious logic. Take the albedo effect with snow/ice cover. Less ice, more Arctic sea less reflected sunlight. Ditto glaciers. And when people suggest we paint rooves it gets a larf. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 05 Jul 20 - 08:21 AM So my friends, runaway global warming is here. It is dire, dismal and more fatal than any Pandemic. More Fatal Than A Trump Denial on one hand and hope on the other are both ineffective in changing the fate of the Earth. It is remarkable that people did this and not a greater power like the Sun in OUR evolution. Perhaps when the Supreme Court gave the election to George Bush instead of Mr. Inconvienint Truth was the last possible chance we had for a reversal of global warming but we missed our chance and it is too late now. IMO Trump is part of the problem but the least of our problems now |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 04 Jul 20 - 12:40 PM The populist narrative I am picking up is that if people are prepared to forget about doing what is right or decent there is no reason why the should not prosper. So that people who are not prepared to behave like little shits only have themselves to blame. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Mr Red Date: 10 Jun 20 - 03:49 AM U Toob - Trumps biggest mistake the last 10 minutes show what was built up over the first hour. Basically while Trump declares trad embargoes on China, China has: 1) effectively bought strategic ports on major trade routes. 2) made deals with countries supplying raw materials China doesn't have that basically leave those countries in sino-hoc, and have to buy China's stuff. 3) has factories in countries that put the final label on virtually finished Chinese goods that qualify them to be "other than from China" and can be imported into the US. (think US cars made in Mexico /US) 4) is building a significant navy, and has troops in the Horn of Africa, ostensibly to tackle piracy (as are others). 5) has dealt with and largely solved the COVID-19 crisis. But basically a communist country is excelling at the tactics of a capitalist, erstwhile, dominant country. Because of the muddle-headed thinking of a classic Dunning-Kruger case. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 08 Jun 20 - 07:22 AM Trump should resign and tell the nation "America you don't deserve me." Truer words were never spoken in that old place. Peggy Noonan. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 07 Jun 20 - 02:43 PM Trump promised we would get tired of winning. He asked "what do you have to lose"? I'm tired. We are losing lives and jobs. People feel that disease and social unrest is out of control. BUT unemployment is only at 28% and only 110,000 lives are lost so far. I remind you that hospital transmitted infections claim 100,000 lives per year and unemployment figures have always been crooked. We may survive Trump but surviving more Trump is doubtful. So far there have been fired and silenced good people who through speaking up and disobedience have saved the day. We do not have an unlimited supply of good people. |

Perhaps Trump could hold his Convention there but they still can't find a location. I suggest Peurto Rico but as they say all options are on the table. What table? If they are there, why doesn't someone go get them? |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Donuel Date: 04 Jun 20 - 08:55 PM Trump is a revengful and insufferable narcissist, and what's worse a philosophical solipsist with delusional patterns of bipolarity in his authoritarianism, while he has no self awareness that he is actively practicing fascism. His show of strength is laughably an angry hostile display of cowardice. Ironicly stark raving fear is why he has loyal supporters and why he has astonished enemies. Furthermore you are probably the only person to have read this far. George Bush was the Decider and chief but Trump is the definer and Chief of funny walks and makeup. |

Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of the Turnip From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 Jun 20 - 11:43 AM Trump finally finished his physical exam for the year. He left his lift shoes on when he was measured: it seems the Donald has grown an inch since the first year (and no one believed the 6'2" when he made that claim!) And they apparently dropped 100 pounds from his weight, though say he has gained 1 pound since last year. "His 2018 physical showed that Trump, at 6-foot 3-inches tall, had a body mass index of 29.9 last year, which places him in the overweight category on the verge of obesity, which is defined as a BMI of 30 or greater." |
