The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 2: Welcome to Chicago Trump

"You just kicked the shit out of an innocent man." - Strawberry Alice

"Innocent of what?" - Little Bill (Unforgiven 1992)

The Chicago Police Department embarrassed and debased themselves during Traitor Trump's visit. Trump is so obviously a conman and yet they applaud him. Police Departments across the United States are so thoroughly corrupted by believing their own Hero Warrior bullshit that Trump needed to spew little more to get the fawning adulation of a group of so-called Law Enforcement Officers.

Working the job for over a decade the only thing which irritates me on the job is when someone lies to me. I can deal with a lot but, lying to me is just too much. Yet, Chicago Cops not only enjoy being lied to by Trump they are eager to be lied to? Why?

During the 2016 campaign Trump recounted one of his fantasy scenarios where a big strong burly tough guy fawns over Trump when he declared a confided in him,

"And I said, 'How long would it take you to straighten out this problem?' " the president added. "And he said, 'If you gave me the authority — couple of days.' I really mean it.  I said, 'You've gotta be kidding. ... Give me your card.' And he gave me a card. And I sent it to the mayor. I said, 'You ought to try using this guy.' Guess what happened? Never heard. And last week they had another record. It's horrible."

Trump trotted out the story yet again, and added in the standard rightwing canards that Chicago has the Toughest Gun Laws in America and laws don't work. Now, you would think even the least inquisitive Cop would recognize the syllogism:

If the laws are tough and crime is still a problem, then enforcement is lax. 

I.e. the Chicago Police Officers are lazy or incompetent. But, what these Officers heard was 'those people are natural born criminals and animals and your command staff are weak or namby-pamby liberals' and if only Police Officers were unshackled they would be able to clean-up the City.

Trump is stupid but he has certain mean low cunning and what Trump knows is most people believe in half-conceived theories of criminal justice; usually variations of the wholly discredited Broken Windows Theory. So what Chicago Cops heard was what they wanted to hear;  "Don't be too nice."

I am wholly insulted and ashamed that Police Officers are so fucking gullible and easily taken in by a bloated, adderall abusing, grifting RAPIST.

Of course, no one should be surprised Police Officers, especially Chicago Police Officers, will ignore the law and willingly violate peoples Constitutional Rights because Chicago Police Officers are currently engaged in such activities.

Stop & Frisk violates the 4th Amedment. In 2016, Chicago Officers became required to justify their detention of minorities because that's who Chicago Police stop, by being able to articulate their reasonable suspicion. Of course, what's become apparent in the data collected since then is Officers don't have or don't know what that standard is and their supervisions are helping them add data after the fact, to justify the unlawful interaction.

But, illegal stop & frisk is supported by conservatives because right-wingers believe all black people are a priori guilty of some crime thus, any stop any detention of a black person is thus justified.

Joe Walsh rushes to defend Dinesh D'souza One Adulterer aids Another

Former Congressman Joe Walsh who did nothing during his 2 years in Congress except for claiming he got President Obama elected, yelling at uppity female Postal Employees who dared question him and wondered why American Jews don't love Israel has rushed to defend D'inesh D'Souza


Wow... Joe Walsh just discovered the second favorite quote conservatives love to overuse in the hyperbole of Obama=Hitler.

Conservatives have been trotting out their bastardized versions of Pastor Martin Niemöller famous poem throughout President Obama's tenure.

At least this is a real one most of the "quotes" right-wingers love to recite happen to be complete fabrications which sound so correct to conservatives because they're the ones making them up.

When Joe Walsh was my Congressman I used to write him asking him to do "something" about the plummeting home prices and massive number of foreclosed homes in his congressional district. Walsh never replied to my requests. Of course, I found out that Walsh an Adulterer and Deadbeat Dad was in court trying to explain that his Congressional Salary of $174,000 with free taxpayer funded healthcare he was still too poor to pay the $117,000 he owed in back child support. I suppose he was tried of hearing the crap about the Banks causing the Great Republican Recession.

Dinesh is a well known liar, adulterer, and now criminal (i.e. he's a Conservative). Dinesh has been sucking off wingnut welfare for a long time now, after this leftist persecution he'll be able to join the pantheon of Wingnut Heroes like domestic terrorist, chicken hawk child raping Ted Nugent.

Former Governor Bob McDonnell who besides taking hundreds of thousands of dollars of graft while Governor of Virginia also managed to shove through Mandatory Rape Wand legislation.

As always But but but OBAMA!!!1!1! is the first cry of the right-wing wimps every time they get caught in their crimes. Conservatives would be a fucking cosmic joke if they weren't causing so much oppression and destruction to the country.

Outright Disrepect for President Obama? What? Right-Wing Racism...

"Barack Obama's election was the occasion for an explicit statement from the Republicans: We are in this to defeat Barack Obama. We have no interest in passing a welfare reform bill. We're in a war and that's what it boils down to." - Thomas E. Mann

Daily Caller Pissant Neil Munro became a right-wing hero last Friday when he interrupted President Obama during a Rose Garden speech announcing a change in the U.S. policy on forcibly deporting children who've broken no laws by their own volition.

Munro asserted his white privilege and announced to President Obama "No, you have to take questions" and "What about American workers who are unemployed while you import foreigners?"

Read the entire transcript of at Talking Points Memo.

The final question Munro shouted, is nothing more than a right-wing racist lie, President Obama isn't "importing" anyone, Munro's disrespect was so egregious even Chris Wallace of Faux News called it "outrageous".

This latest show of outright bigoted disrespect is nothing more than conservatives trying to rattle President Obama. But, as always, President Obama remained as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Conservatives have been trying for years to invoke an angered reaction from President Obama. They want to run with the Barack Obama is the Angry N-Slur campaign. Once conservatives have even a two second video of Barack acting angrily it will be run more often than the daily Faux airing of the two New Black Panther Party members beating hundreds of white people just trying to cast their votes in 2008.

But, despite their worst efforts President Obama has remained a calm, cool, collected poised man.

Now, this hasn't stopped right-wingers from spamming viral Did you hear Obama is Hitler e-mails, distributing false images and fake videos purporting to show what the Main Stream Media won't show you, i.e. Barack the Angry N-Slur.



Rachel Maddow and Bill Maher have both highlighted the underlying and overt tenor of the conservative news stories from the past 4 years. The Republican Party made a tactical decision to court the racists who have been lying low but are deeply offended Barack Obama is President.

But, when the voters you are courting are the likes of Jeff W. commenting at View From the Right;

The liberals’ godless project of trying to transform selfish, lazy, impulsive people into good citizens through education, generous welfare programs, constant encouragement, and zero criticism is failing and is doomed to fail. It is another sad example of people who reject God believing that that they can become as gods.

The left’s embargo on any criticism of blacks is part of that failed project. Not only have trillions of dollars been wasted, but also many lives.

Racism and the Fear of the Black Man are the cards the Republicans are going to play.

Just compare Munro's bigoted bullshit with Jeff Gannon's stroke-tastic question to George W. Bush on January 26, 2005,

“Senate Democratic leaders have painted a very bleak picture of the U.S. economy. Harry Reid was talking about soup lines. And Hillary Clinton was talking about the economy being on the verge of collapse. Yet in the same breath they say that Social Security is rock solid and there's no crisis there. How are you going to work – you've said you are going to reach out to these people – how are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?"

Despite the falsely attributed quote to Harry Reid, Racist Limpballs said it pretending to be Senator Reid, it's amazing how cognizant the Democratic Leaders were of the desructive negligent malfesance the Bush Presidency was causing the American people and the economy and from which President Obama is still trying to save America today.

Thralls to the Rich continue smear campaign of the Occupy Revolution

"I was in the Blue Bottle Saloon in Wichita on the night that English Bob killed Corky Corcoran, and I didn't see you there, nor no woman. No two-gun shooters. None of this." ~ Gene Hackman, Unforgiven

Any push against the Plutocracy was certain to engender a massive push back. At first, the 1% was content to allow their Guards to engage in old tactics of mass arrests and brutality, but these tactics do not win the hearts and minds of the average American anymore and one brutual incident can be broadcast worldwide for all to see.

But, now the real effort to delegitimize the Occupy America Movement is underway. By the other old, time-honored Rightwing tactic, the propaganda smear campaign. The Plutocracy rallied their guardians and man-servants in the Elite Media to begin publishing sneering and snotty articles about the uncouthness and general offensive nature of the dress and mannerisms of plebeians.

Here's the by-line from Bill Zeiser (a conservative media "consultant" whose offerings get picked up by pajamasmedia and The American Spectator):

One clean-cut journalist goes undercover with the protesters.

Zeiser is a rabid defender of the 1%. His whole article is riddled with hatred towards the oppressed. What brought me out into the streets with the rabble? His sensibilities were offended at the requests to punish Wall Street for their crimes. They are no more than a discontented mob carrying a jumble of disparate, even odious messages. The few among them who call for specific policy changes lack the good sense not to lie with socialist dogs. At least Zeiser ends his hit piece honestly: But ultimately, I found no common ground with them as I walked the downtown streets of Manhattan. I guess I am the enemy after all. Bill Zeiser gives it away when he describes his fashion sense and illustrates those who idolize and defend the Rich continue to absorb the lessons of history, that if you dress like the Rich perhaps you can pretend to be one of them.

Here are the views of other Elite Guards of the Rich:

"Get your shoes off, get a bongo drum, forget where to go to the bathroom and it's yours." - P.J. O'Rourke

“They’re openly embracing their demonic aspect.” - Ann Coulter

3 Weeks ago Glenn Beck was chuckling, about what he described as Wall Street protest FAIL:

"The attempt by radical leftists, communists, socialists, anarchists and more to occupy Wall Street didn’t go as well as they hoped it would. A little short on the protesters and a little short on the ‘occupation’ part of the promised action to camp out and occupy Wall Street. NYPD basically shut that option down before they got there..."

Now, the Multi-Millionaire Beck is worried,

"Capitalists, if you think that you can play footsie with these people, you are wrong. They will come for you and drag you into the streets and kill you. They will do it. They’re not messing around. Those in the media – and I am included in this – they will drag us out into the streets and kill us. If you’re wealthy, they will kill you for what you have. You cannot tolerate this kind of stuff. You certainly do not encourage it.”

I've attended the OccupyChi Revolution at LaSalle and Jackson several times now. I'm not a member nor do I claim to speak for the movement. But, I have directly spoken with several members, their legal counsel and observed their street meetings. The group has twice daily official meetings along with impromptu ones in which ideas are tabled and voted upon. One of the things always discussed in the meetings is the agreement amongst all they will accomplish their goals by non-violent means. It's an exercise in Direct Democracy, something the Political Talking Class is not very fond of and the 1% abhor.

I spent all day downtown with the OccupyChi protest and the October 8 Anti-War Rally. About 1500-2000 attended the Anti-War March and many marched over to LaSalle and Jackson and recounted their stories of financial ruin at the hands of the Banksters. While we there almost every single person on top of the double-decker tour buses cheered on OccupyChi.

Well, with any large and sustained movement incidents are going to happen. On October 8th I march with the Chicago Mass Action anti-war rally which showed solidarity with OccupyChi. I only saw one confrontation during the march of roughly 2000, in which two Bike borne young CPD members got into a profanity contest with two old ladies carrying an anti-war banner (which demanded the arrest of all war criminals and mug-like shots of Bush & Obama), but it never went further than recriminations and the two officers biked away.

I did hear from a Progressive Radio Journalist from Wisconsin that their were arrests made for Battery to a Peace Officer when some protestors flicked cigarette butts at them. That is a crime cut and dried. I don't forgive behavior like that nor should anyone.

But, here's where it gets interesting. Does anyone doubt that the minds of most conservative has already been made up? Or that they will be searching for any evidence that confirms their preconceived notions (h/t: Bill Zeiser) while ignoring everything which might contradict it?

Thus, enter the Rightwing Blogosphere. Jim Hoft, of The Gateway Pundit, is one of the most dishonest rightwing conservative blogs on the internet. Hoft's posts have been routinuely debunked and discredited by Media Matters for America and Sadly, No, now has over a dozen posts from various cities attacking the Occupy America Revolution.

Well, now to get the on-the-ground assessment from several cities at the same time is quite an amazing bit of fieldwork! Is Hoft the primary source? No. Is Hoft the secondary source? No. Hoft puts up photos and videos from unidentified sources of unidentified persons and labels himself a journalist. The reason many Americans think journalism is dying in America is preceisely because for years the Rightwing has countered traditonal walk the pavement firsthand Journalism with Radio Commentators who never leave the comfort of their studio, conservative bloggers who cross-reference the same post in incestous amplification, which for the most part are propaganda hit pieces the bloggers receive from conservative "think tanks" and the rise of Faux News which offers up the most toxic reactionary opinion pieces as hard news.

Over at the corporately funded Hotair.com, Ed Morrisey seems to think a photo of people laying out sleeping bags and drying clothes in the sun indicates the OWS crowd are dirty anti-enviornmental hypocrites or something.

"Lest one think that this is an outlier, the Daily Mail has a few other pictures of the prodigious amount of waste piling up at the occupation."

Looking at the photo I'm quite impressed with the orderliness of the OWS bario. But, you see the Tea Party Patriots never left a mess at their single day long events and a protest into its' 3rd week should have no sign of human occupation and normally there is no trash to be found in New York City.

What I've seen first hand at the OccupyChi site are young men and women policing up the area they are occupying sweeping up trash, picking up cigarette butts and keeping the sidewalks free of debris.

The Temple of Mut: Shrine to Capitalism concludes his dire round-up post with: About that 99%. Be careful of those who claim to speak for you.* It's laughable that he would be so obtuse! That's the point of the Occupy Revolution. The elected politicians do not represent the 99%. The entire Republican party is owned by Corporate Behemoths, Special Interests and the Lobbyist Class and a vast number of Democrats are as well. They purport to speak for Us and spend all their time conducting the business of the 1%.

We are the 99%. We don't speak for the 99%, We are them and so are you... But, there are those who will support the enslavers and work to keep down those who would question and stand up to the Wall Street Criminals.

Meanwhile, whilst the conservative blogosphere gins up hysteria amongst it's flag-waving Hank Williams Jr fans, the Koch Brothers keep getting Richer by making illegal unethical deals with Iran, Nigeria and having Erick Erickson defend them via: "Koch Industries did not directly do business in Iran. A subsidiary did business in Iran**" technicality. So they didn't violate the law because the law was lax and what you expect business to regulate themselves?

"Get out of the sidewalks and into the streets"

*- Seems the author changed his post about the 99% to the following: I am not rich, not a member of some vast corporation, and don’t have political connections. But, this group does NOT represent me Of course, not their are many members of the 99% who choose to fight for their Oppressors and against the Oppressed.

**- Erickson has removed the line I quoted, obviously because it confirmed his status as an idiot.
