So, Fox had a chyron gaffe —<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

— it’s worth a chuckle — now move along..<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

Okay here’s enantiodromia<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Trump will put $100 billion into a slush fund so he doesn\u2019t have to deal with budget cuts<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Republicans have spent a generation complaining about deficits, government spending and attacking a so-called \u201cbig government.\u201d Yet, within just a few years the entire party has turned 180 degrees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and a nice paradox<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

If P gets things right then it lies in its tooth;
\nand if it speaks falsely, it\u2019s telling the truth!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where did I get that?<\/p>\n

    If it was Dr Seuss, I’m betting he’d have employed and enjoyed pee <\/strong>(male) and queue <\/strong>(female), which would have made youthful readers giggle <\/strong>and blush<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    That’s Epimenides territory btw, as in “all Cretans are liars”.<\/p>\n

    **<\/p>\n

    Getting back to news chyrons<\/strong> — I wasn’t awake to catch this when it showed up on Morning Joe, but a piece on RawStory<\/a> pointed me to it:<\/p>\n

    Joe Scarborough: <\/p>\n

    Jeh Johnson: <\/p>\n

    You don’t have to the the former Secretary of Homeland Security to know you can’t shut down a 1,900 mile border. It’s a little like decreeing that it should stop raining..<\/p>\n

    Rep Steve Cohen:<\/p>\n

    This whole thing has been played out like a stall. Like when they used to play basketball without a 32 second, 30 second, 35 secondclock, a 35 second clock and they’re just holding the ball, and they’ve got the lead, they’ve got the lead and they’re holding the ball.<\/p>\n

    Chris Matthews: <\/p>\n

    That’s Dean Smith’s four corners offense, I know about it. Thanks for the basketball recap. .. This isn’t basketball at all, but there is a question of game-playing here ..*****<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    This was re Barr timing the release of the Mueller report (after his redactions) to April 15, when Congress wld be away from town on a 3 week break..<\/p>\n

    CM: <\/p>\n

    A picture’s worth a thousand words everybody. Natasha, you take this: if we get a New York Times top of the fold picture >of a whole page blacked out .. There isn’t going to be much white left on that page ..<\/p>\n

    Natasha Bertrand: <\/p>\n

    Is Donald Trump considered a third party because he wasn’t charged? <\/p>\n

    I just want to go back really quickly to the question of whether ethics and morals matter. If you’re a morally vacuous person, that makes you more susceptible to beinf blackmailed by a foreign country .. It’s a very big national security issue, and I think that that is the lens through which we have to view this ..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Jay Inslee: <\/p>\n

    Trump has been so inhumane to close the border to refugees, some of whom are climate refugees today, because of the drought..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    First mention I’ve seen of climate refugees<\/strong>***** as a term — cf my poem Mourning the lost Ka\u2019aba<\/strong><\/a> — <\/p>\n

    a full spectrum of information warfare, essentially, against Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post and Amazon ..<\/p>\n

    Chris Hayes:<\/p>\n

    If it’s true, it’s as real and immediate a threat to free speech in the US as one can possinbbly imagine, if a foreign government that doesn’t like dissidents speaking out of turn so much that it murders themessentially attempts to blackmail and destroythe paper which covers is.<\/p>\n

    Two major pieces on forms of the extreme associated with the right:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    How Sovereign Citizens Helped Swindle $1 Billion From the Government They Disavow<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And from that article, an aptly named car:<\/p>\n

    Mr. Morton\u2019s sentencing was set for that June. But when the 11 a.m. hearing started, he didn\u2019t show. Agents spotted him that afternoon outside a Domino\u2019s in Hermosa Beach, a gray hood and sunglasses shrouding much of his face. He hopped in his white Ford Escape and headed south. <\/p>\n

    and an aptly named cruise:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Worth reading, and really worth knowing about the loosely-defined, quasi-religious Sovereign Citizens movement. <\/p>\n

    Also:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    There are two forms of interest here — the vicious circle<\/strong>, a quintessential ouroboric<\/strong> concept, and the implied symmetry in “jihadists and the far-right not only reflect each other, but feed off each other”..<\/p>\n

    But the CSM piece I really want to direct your attention to is one written by blog-friend Ann Scott Tyson<\/strong> and quoting blog-friend JM Berger<\/strong>– — who was also quoted in the NYT SovCit piece above:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Christchurch brings global white supremacist threat into sharp relief<\/a><\/p>\n

    \u201cThis is a much bigger global challenge than it is a challenge just in New Zealand or just in the U.K., with Britain First, or just in the U.S. with the [Ku Klux] Klan and a range of other neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups,\u201d says Seth Jones, director of the Transnational Threats Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. \u201cThere\u2019s a broader collective concern here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    **<\/p>\n

    This just in before I go.. another symmetry observed: <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The cruel irony of Hussle\u2019s murder is that he was the victim of the type of urban violence he had long tried to remedy: The day after his death, he was scheduled to participate in an LAPD anti-street-violence meeting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
