    ^^^ oh great. let's break the postal system so we can move forward w/privatizing it. these derps have no idea about what a "public good" is. regarding the NRA - it's pre columbine but it hit the stratosphere then for sure.. it was steadily gaining influence for quite a while before that.. certainly in the 80s. but for a long long time it was a gun safety organization... though it was full of racists in the south who feared black people. and coincidentally it sort of had its birth when the KKK was made illegal.

    you have to remember that before the 2nd amendment people there were gun regulations.. back when the NRA was basically just a gun education group that taught people to be safe w/guns and how to shoot etc. but then it got really political and became a lobby group. a lot of long time NRA members left the NRA at this time. we've always had guns but there were rules in place.. but capitalism took over and marketing and sales and all that shit. most people thought the guns laws we had and gun regulation were reasonable. you can't own a fully automatic 50 caliber tommy gun etc.. lot's of guns were made illegal. most people agreed it was the right thing to do. it's only in this modern ERA of the NRA that triggered all conservative gun people to get political that we have all this drama over the 2nd amendment.

    scorched earth boris. who knew? and wtf. scotland must be worried he'll suspend parliament up there as well. wtf. calculated move. is there going to be people in the streets protesting? general strike? anything? seems an ideal time to go all french about it and get in the streets and throw some shit. also, 'temporary' suspending parliament.. let's hope it's only temporary.

    here's some stuff that won't matter i guess... trump received loans cosigned by russian billionaires. https://www.inquisitr.com/5603123/donald-trump-loans-russia/ deustche bank has his tax returns https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ywav3x/deutsche-bank-basically-just-confirmed-they-have-trumps-tax-returns-that-should-make-him-nervous?utm_source=reddit.com. epstein's lawyers, like the rest of us, are skeptical of suicide ruling. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/27/jeffrey-epsteins-lawyers-skeptical-of-suicide-ruling.html he probably cares more about this picture than anything though.

    coltrane can be pretty intense. he was on another level. in space. for similar "outside of genre" type stuff there's a few miles davis releases that fit the bill.. Big Fun, Panthallassa - the music of Miles Davis - bill laswell project that's one of my favorite things. it's all the stuff that happened in the studio around the "on the corner" recordings and in a silent way. he got ahold of the master recordings from capitol and put them back together in a way that, he says, is more representative of what happened in the studio. and of course it has the benefit of being mixed on more modern gear - neve console. it sounds great. anyway... here's a track from big fun that is deeper than deep once it bottoms out and gets spacious and here's panthallassa. i recommend tracking down the CD if you're into this kind of stuff. also, william fields played live recently and recorded it and posted it for DL on soundcloud.. i haven't listened to it yet. ?

    yeah.. re: that screen grab of the Nance tweet - it's internet bullshit click bait but for a moment captures the hysteria in america.. it goes in every direction. i think that Nance guy is former CIA. i'm glad Macron is taking trump in the various 1 on 1 type meetings to develop some kind of relationship even if it just helps the G7 know where the fuck trump's brain is on some things. it helps to find a road map to those places that might be places of cooperation. ha.. what an ignorant thing to say on so many levels.. mother theresa was kind of an asshole btw.

    ^^ it is fascinating indeed. the blinders.. totally.. but they say several times in there about god using imperfect vessels to do good works or whatever.. and they definitely mention trump in that regard. not disagreeing w/you.. but the imperfect vessel idea is something lot's of evangelicals use as an excuse... means to an end.
  24. ignatius
    ^^ watched that already. it's a lot of what we probably think already plus a few jaw dropping WTF type things and just totally insane shit reminders. worth watching and i'm really glad they funded it. the "inside look" type of angle is good for this. these people are all the "imperfect vessel" cult who think trump is doing god's work and god uses imperfect vessels to do great deeds etc etc.. there's definitely a bunch of shit in there i didn't know was connected.. like the idiot governor and his affair cover up attempt and all that. some shitty people involved all the way through.
