KELLYANNE'S THOUGHT PROCESS

"During an interview with the Bergen County Record on Sunday, Conway talked about President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that his predecessor, Barack Obama, ordered wiretapping of his communications during the campaign.

“Do you know if Trump Tower was wiretapped?” the interviewer asks Conway in the video above.

In response, Trump’s counselor says, without evidence:

“What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other now, unfortunately. There was an article this week that talked about how you can surveil someone through their phones, through their — certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways, and microwaves that turn into cameras, etc., so we know that that is just a fact of modern life.”

BWAAAAAAA HA HA HA

Oooh these twit-wits of Chump's. Will it never stop? Woman, if I was living in another country, I'd be laughing so hard I'd be peeing on myself every time I thought about this.

We're supposed to believe Obama hacked a microwave to spy on Chump, then did absolutely nothing with the information but let Chump win. Yeah. Okay.


KELLYANNE'S THOUGHT PROCESS

• Chump tweets something else stupid
• Open mouth
• Defend him
• Think Later
• Insert Foot, Leg, and Ass into own mouth
• Look even dumber than Chump, be a human deflection

BWAAAAAAA HA HA HA

By the way, this is what happens when a extra stupid white racist goes crazy. Every time something makes this Alt-Right New KKK Wanna-Be Grand Dragon uncomfortable in the slightest way, the most competent black person Chump can think of comes to mind as "the" [ n-word ] that's doing him in.

And you know it's pure racism too.

Hillary was his arch-nemesis. But it's Obama he accuses of wiretapping, revving up the protesters, energizing the townhall meetings against him. 

I bet Chump sees Obama's face in his nightmares every night.

And I'll bet Obama smiles knowing Chump's driving himself insane with his own racism. Or maybe he's not that petty. But I promise you I would be.

I would send Cheeto Satan a tweet every night that said, "BWAAAAAAA HA HA HA"  I pay somebody else to do it, every single night. Hell, if Obama would pose for a picture with me, I'd do it every night for 7 months (the length of time I think it'll take for Trump to get bored with NOT being King and go home)

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW....

Where Love Better Trump Hate

Yesterday's 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS WAS A JOKE.  One of the lines made sarcastic reference to "Love Trumps Hate"

All kidding aside now, I'll tell you where love BETTER trump hate.

Love better trump hate between the blacks, latinx, muslims, asians, POC-LBGTQ, middle-easterns and everybody else e-raced out of American life by patriarchal white males and the white female handmaidens they married/girlfriend-ed.

(63% White males voted for Trump.  53% white women voted for Trump) 

Actually love better do more than trump hate between people of color. Love better make People of Color want to learn one another's stories. 

Blacks need to want know some basic mexican history and basic mexican current-story. Latinx people need to know some basic indigenous people history and some basic indigenous people current story . Indigenous people need to know some basic chinese history and some basic chinese current story. Asians need to know.... 

People of color need to come together as more of a consolidated group if most of us want to move in a similar direction --away from white supremacy.   

The alternate path is paved with empathy.

And, empathy requires at least a little bit of knowledge at its base.

White people are not lesser human beings than the rest of us. They, as a group, have consistently behaved in a way that IS consistent with not knowing anybody's history or perspective but their own. And that has led to a dearth of empathy (not only hate and disdain) from white people for decades.

White people have been so consistent about not knowing other people's perspective, that they don't even realize they have white perspective, a raced-perspective, just like every-single-body else.

White people also don't realize that people of color have to study their habits and their beliefs about themselves just to survive, much less thrive.   

People of color who don't read white people and their beliefs about themselves well, do not do well in this country. This is why one people of color group winds seeking knowledge and wind up with empathy for another people of group.  We have the habit of acknowledging ethnic/racial differences just to survive not-being-white in the United States. 

People of color do not more habitually seek awareness of the other because we were born better human beings, somehow, as a result of our DNA.   

So, if people of color want to move through life in a different way than whites have as a group so far, and the goal is to end that standard quo of white supremacy, then we're going to have to choose a different path. 

Therefore, love for one another better trump hate. Love had better lead to empathy creating a desire for knowledge and knowledge creating more empathy.  It better.

If people of color lead in love, maybe more wise and even not-so-wise white people will get better and be able to follow. And we'd better hope that love reigns even where knowledge is weak among white people because pragmatically and politically speaking, we need at least 1/3 of white people with us to swing the country in a more ethical and inclusive direction.  

"Being interested in politics" is a way of saying "being interested in influencing our group values." If we want our slice of the American pie, we need to get on it.  

So may love beget a thirst for knowledge and that in turn beget empathy and lead the way for people of color and white people too in 2017.    

Be Blessed.  

Not to force my religion on anybody, but since this is my own personal Christmas message, I pray that each and every one of you find Middle Eastern Jesus in your heart one day. 

JENIFER LEWIS ON ELECTION DAY

It scares me to see young black people so afraid that their vote doesn't matter that they aren't going to vote at all. But I suppose there's always been that element among us though. Maybe I should be glad that this seems to represent a very vocal few. I think I am glad. Anyway. Here's a song from Jenifer Lewis to encourage you.

TO THE BLACK AND BROWN DISCOURAGED

13TH by AVA DuVERNAY COMING SOON TO NETFLIX

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865.

of private prisons

The prison industrial complex has been one of the great success stories of the last few decades—if “success” can stretch to mean more than tripling the number of Americans locked up. As conservatives privatized prisons in the name of “efficiency” and cost savings, it’s turned into a huge source of profit for those who operate facilities.

The American prison system is massive. So massive that its estimated turnover of $74 billion eclipses the GDP of 133 nations. 

It’s made some areas so dependent on the kickbacks from prisons that locking up fewer people is a threat to the economy. A threat great enough to actually encourage locking people up for minor offenses.

A PREVIEW OF "13th"

SPEED BUMPS ON THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE - MICHELLE OBAMA

Those speed bumps that Barack and Michelle had to hurdle over were constructed of race and racism, of course.

In a commencement speech from 2015, Michelle Obama tells some of the story of how she and Barack were treated by the white press on their way to The White House in 2008.  As I said in the original article, I didn't think we were going to get this kind of transparency until after Barack and Michelle had been out of the Washington for a decade.

I hope you make a little time to listen to sections of her speech. It's a good one. And it let's you know why it shouldn't be at all surprising that Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. 

Michelle speaks about this magazine cover in her speech

The artist has defended this cover as "satire."   If that was so, however, if this cover was meant to be seen as mocking the fears of those on the right, then were are the white people in the window looking stupidly horrified? Where is the indication that this is so stupid as to be ridiculous?  It's funny how magazine editors and artists at predominantly white run magazines don't think of how a cover will be interpreted all by itself, sans any reading of the article, so very much more often when black and brown people are being depicted. 

It is disheartening to keep reading that white people think that black and brown critiques of white racist behavior in 2016 only has to do with what many white people will do consciously and purposefully. It is  ridiculous that so many white people that don't consider themselves as racist or even racism enablers do not realize that black and brown critiques of racism have a lot to do with what comes naturally sans any conscious effort at all.

So much of white supremacy seems perfectly "normal" to white people, and sometimes that even after you point huge, decades long patterns of white behavior, they still can't move some behaviors out of the "normal" box into the "enabling white supremacy" box. 

Racism enablers don't think much about anything. But I'm tired to death of them. Furthermore, this image reinforced and delighted the political fear mongers on the right and also the poured gas the very real fears on the left.

GAY NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING AND SANDY HOOK

"The senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast that Mateen was born in New York and was married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. 

That woman told the Washington Post that he repeatedly abused her during their marriage, which lasted from April 2009 to July 2011.

“He was not a stable person,” the ex-wife said. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”

Mateen's parent are from Afghanistan but he was not very religious, she said, adding that he "seemed like a normal human being."

~The DAILY BEAST 

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/12/omar-mateen-id-d-as-orlando-killer.html

According to the report, at the link below, by Evan Perez, FBI had investigated this man in the past. He was known to have extremist ties. But he wasn't the central focus of the investigations. His name simply came up.

However, he was working as a private security guard for a company that has contracts to protect federal buildings near the area where he lives, Fort Pierce, Florida. The fact that he had this job allowed him to buy guns, within the last few weeks, with minimal questions asked.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-nightclub-shooting/

I haven't confirmed it yet, but I read on a blog that the same gun used at this night club shooting was used at Sandy Hook and San Bernadino.  I was going to chase this fact down but it doesn't matter. This man had easy access to a weapons and bullets after being investigated by the FBI.

I wonder if the people sitting in NRA Headquarters are still mocking President Obama almost coming to tears when he couldn't get gun legislation past Congress -- after two dozen children were shot, after those college girls were shot, after those Sikhs in the temple were shot,  after that girl that performed at his Inauguration, Hadiya Pendleton was shot.

I don't know if this could have been prevented by gun control. But I know for sure it could have been made a hell of a lot harder but for some game playing in Washington D.C.

Part of the reason we couldn't get any real gun legislation after Sandy Hook was due to the republicans pact to not let this President, who happens to be black, was because of a republican congress that vowed to not let the President get anything past them.

These people won't even let him staff the Supreme Court. It's starting to look like the Supreme Court is going to remain incomplete for a full year.  (And I will be checking to see if this has happened to a white president before--for THIS LONG.)

But this time, like last time and the time before that, lack of gun control is 90% about what it's always about --the power of gun lobbyists and the NRA.

And now my wondering has taken me even further down the rabbit hole. Is it possible that even the FBI is afraid of the NRA? With all the powers the federal government got under President Bush, after 9/11, to invade our privacy on the left, on the right, and in the center-- the FBI didn't get the right to limit someone's second amendment rights? Not even someone with "extremist ties?"

Are the gun lobby and the NRA that powerful?

Some gun enthusiasts I've spoken to know that much longer waiting periods are reasonable. So it's time for the non-crazy gun lovers to create another gun organization in answer to the NRA. Because 50 gay people shouldn't be dead right now, not at the end of an gun you can just go to the store and buy more easily than you can buy a car.

The only thing that might explain, to a reasonable person, why the FBI doesn't have the right to remove a person's second amend rights -- now that our privacy is all but gone -- would be if they were conducting an undercover investigation of Mateen.

But even that's beside the point.

I still want to know if the FBI has the power to take away the second Amendment rights of a suspected terrorist, even temporarily.  How could that be less important than the ability to spy on everybody at will?
