    Fuck em, Dr Strangelove is easy to replace with AI these days, or we just import them by the dozens. One in five of their own students insists the sun revolves around the earth, while the idiots complain about paywalls.

    You cannot create confidence in a government that doesn't exist, and is based on more smoke and mirrors than Wall Street. Donald Duck's election is the first evidence for a vote of no confidence in the whole system, with voters having no confidence in their own ability to combat corruption.

    I suppose he wants his likeness on the twenty. Of course our currency would be immediately devalued.

    New Bedford, Massachusetts in the southern part of the state was the world's great center for whaling and it was New Bedford, which inspired Herman Melville to write his novel.

    Every year in New Bedford they have a 24 hour reading marathon of Moby Dick. Fans from all over the world flock there with their copy to read along.

    Trump’s picks for administration jobs keep dropping out. But why?
    Michael Collins, USA TODAY
    Published 6:11 a.m. ET June 17, 2019

    Trump’s picks for administration jobs keep dropping out. But why?

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON – On his first day in office, President Donald Trump formally nominated Andrew Puzder as his labor secretary, handing a key position in his administration to a fast-food magnate whom he’d boasted would save businesses from “the crushing burdens of unnecessary regulations.”

    But Puzder couldn’t even save himself.

    Puzder, who ridiculed his own restaurant employees as “the best of the worst” and said he’d like to replace them with robots, withdrew his nomination less than a month later amid devastating revelations he had once employed an undocumented housekeeper and failed to promptly pay taxes on her.

    Puzder was one of the first, but not the last, of Trump’s nominees to fall. The pattern has been repeated again and again and again, with more than five dozen of Trump’s picks for various jobs either withdrawing or seeing their nominations pulled before they were put through the confirmation process in the Senate."

    The only good thing about Donald Duck, is he's no Adolf Hitler and has always depended upon the kindness and stupidity of strangers.

    Trump accuses the New York Times of treason.
    So what brought this on is the NYT's report that the U.S. has embedded computer code in Russia's power grid and other sites as a precaution in case of future election meddling by Russia in our elections. It appears the story was released to the Times as a warning to Russia. The Times cleared the story with national security officials before it was published.

    But here's the interesting part.....Trump wasn't informed of the action taken by the U.S. because the national security officials feared Trump would tell the Russians, either inadvertently or on purpose, before they had a chance to carry out the necessary actions.
    Treason is punishable by death leading many to sound an alarm about Trump's actions toward the Constitutionally endowed free press.
    Trump, for his part, again called the free press the enemy of the people:

    The press IS the enemy of the people, who insist the corporations and governments they call evil lie to them for their own protection, and are usually too liberal about these things.

    I liked Bartleby The Scrivener by Melville too but Moby was great. I also liked Two Years Before the Mast. The New England Whaling ships used to buy salted raw cattle hides from the California ranchers in the bay area. The Spanish ranchers of California started calling them BOSTONEROS, because their ships were all marked Boston.

    but, but, but there was no collusion.
    A case can be made that trump is guilty of treason.

    The Trump administration is trying to start a war with Iran, something we knew when Bolthead and Pompeeon were nominated for their jobs. A few days ago they claimed Iran had attacked oil tankers near Oman. Then they showed a video with a little boat next to a big tanker with some men reaching with an arm or two to get something off the hull. It was a video taken from far away, like maybe from a drone in the sky, or a helicopter. The Trump administration claimed the Iranians used a Limpet mine. That device is something which has a powerful magnate that makes it stick to the hull. There is no way where a man or two could just pluck it off the side of the ship. Also, the owner of that ship is from Japan and has said his sailors told that the thing had come from the air, not the sea; so, it couldn't be a Limpet. The entire ordeal looks like the type of excuse which America used to start a war against Iraq. Now America has attacked the following Muslim nations: Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Lebanon, Chad, Niger, Morocco, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and now Iran appears to be in their sights.

    It seems you have little understanding of the U.S. Constitution.
    The First Amendment states:
    The Supreme Court has consistently upheld the freedom of the press.

    The thirteen original colonies were subject to governmental regulation of the press and they were not happy about it. The freedom of the press to criticize the government or its officials was enacted in order to place restriction on the federal and state governments.
    You don't have to agree with what the press, or media, publish or disseminate, if fact that's the whole point. Freedom is guaranteed for all sources, with certain exceptions, in order to provide you with a broad range of ideas, facts, and opinions. With the ability to publish what they want, good or bad, the press provides a check on governmental rule and propaganda.

    Would you rather live in a government control media state?

    The billionaire mayor of NYC arrested 26 reporters in one day, only to receive a slap on the wrist, and for our glorious sublime leader to cut the mass media a deal on their rent. Americans have no freedom of the press anymore, you only have the freedom your money can buy. The price for having voted for whoever advertises the most in virtually every local and national election for over twenty years. Already, no cop in the country has even needed a real warrant in over ten years and the constitution might as well be used toilet paper with the courts even beginning to compel people to testify against themselves.

    Fuck America, fuck the constitution, fuck Wall Street prepared to destroy the entire world in the name of growth and progress, while academics complain about pay walls. Some of us actually know what it means to share our words and play nice. The American people are even busting down doors without warrants and shooting people for defending their property. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

    Speaking of Pompeo:

    Trump Administration Hardens Its Attack on Climate Science
    By Coral Davenport and Mark Landler
    May 27, 2019

    Trump Administration Hardens Its Attack on Climate Science

    excerpt:

    "The president’s advisers amplify his disregard. At the meeting of the eight-nation Arctic Council this month, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dismayed fellow diplomats by describing the rapidly warming region as a land of “opportunity and abundance” because of its untapped reserves of oil, gas, uranium, gold, fish and rare-earth minerals. The melting sea ice, he said, was opening up new shipping routes.

    “That is one of the most crude messages one could deliver,” said R. Nicholas Burns, who served as the NATO ambassador under George W. Bush."

    Trump Thwarts GOP Plot to Pretend His Climate Agenda Isn’t Idiotic
    By Eric Levitz

    Trump Thwarts GOP Plot to Pretend His Climate Agenda Isn’t Idiotic

    excerpt:

    "Not content to merely accelerate warming through its policies, the Trump administration is adding insult to ecological injury. At a meeting of the Arctic Council this month, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to sign on to a joint statement affirming the necessity of protecting the Arctic region from the threat of rapidly melting ice — unless all mentions of climate change were stripped from the document. Pompeo further horrified his fellow diplomats by suggesting that climate change is actually good for the Arctic, since melting ice caps are “opening up new shipping routes” and thus making it more economically viable to expand oil drilling in the region."
