Obama's Final Commutations, Trump Nominee Votes Coming, Teacher Vs. Inauguration Speech: P.M. Links

• 

  Pete Souza/ZUMA Press/Newscom

  In the final hours of his administration, President Barack Obama released a bunch of documents that were seized from Osama bin Laden's compound when he was killed in 2011. He also announced 330 more commutations for people sentenced under harsh drug laws.

• The Senate will vote on two of President-Elect Donald Trump's defense nominees Friday, but Democrats warned about fights over other choices.
• An elementary school teacher said he won't show Trump's inauguration speech in the classroom tomorrow, and that's going over about as well as you'd imagine it would.
• Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Trump's nominee for energy secretary, says he no longer wants to dismantle the Department of Energy. In the "fake news" category, media suggestions that Perry didn't know that the Energy Dept. is responsible for maintaining the country's nuclear arsenal are demonstrably false.
• Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is introducing legislation to give Congress oversight of the president's trade actions, which include things like those big tariffs on imports Trump threatens.
• A group of police organizations today released what they hope will be a new model for the de-escalation of the use of deadly force. The policy allows for the firing of warning shots, which may cause some problems with most police departments.

But still no Hillary.

From Hell's heart, you stab at me!

I like knives. Got a cool one I won in a waffle the other day, it's Damascus and will need breaking in. *stab

Got a cool one I won in a waffle the other day,

Are you in prison?

Do you trust your wife?

[bacon-magic]

No, I'm not doing time on your dime. I didn't say shank or shiv.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Won in a waffle?

Like, baked in the center? Are you in jail?

[bacon-magic]

Some stupid government regulation made me say that...raffles are illegal. Yes, government needs to stay out of the free market.

[Fist of Etiquette]

We must have waffles. We must all have waffles forthwith. We must all think. We must all have waffles and think, each and every one of us, to the best of his ability.

SAFETY CHECK, beloved commenter "waffles" please make your presence known if you haven't been murdered by Damascus steel.

[bacon-magic]

It spell checked me on Damascus, pretty sure it should be lower case unless I'm talking about the city. "Waffles" is skiing probably as we comment.

[jesse.in.mb]

I think it's still a proper adjective and so capitalized. Other pedants may have opinions though.

[Zeb]

I agree on capitalizing it. It's a specific enough thing that it hasn't become an ordinary English adjective.

[waffles]

I should have gone skiing but I had to suture up a minor stab wound. Now I'm just sitting at my desk like a sucker. Saturday is a no-brainer and I will brave the crowds. Monday is on the menu if the roads are open. POW POW POW.

[bacon-magic]

I didn't do it!

[jesse.in.mb]

Nobody is saying you did, but that knife is evidence in an assault case and must be taken into custody for fingerprinting, also I'm keeping it. FYTW

This one is Damasteel from the U.S.A. It's purdy and stabby.

Holy crap.

[Eternal Blue Sky]

True Damascus steel has been lost to history.

[bacon-magic]

Maybe, but they make it better now. The old stuff paled in comparison to Japanese steel at the time. San Mai steel is still one of the best.

[Groovus Maximus]

Nothing beats Miltex. They make the best stuff, hands down. They made some custom instruments for me. Second to none.

Geister is a now a close second, since they are closer to me now. Also excellent stuff.

[bacon-magic]

Wasn't that an 80's movie?

[SugarFree]

1974

There might be others, but that's the first one I thought of.

[bacon-magic]

I was thinking of the movie(can't remember the name) where the 2 college students found the genius hiding out in the walls of the dorm. Now it's bugging me that I can't remember. *blames old age and/or pot

[SugarFree]

Real Genius, 1985.

[bacon-magic]

That's it! You, sir, are the best...porn/horror writer I know and a good Reasonoid.

[SugarFree]

That's it!

It is one of my favorite movies, but, in general, I used to work in a video store and got very good at recalling titles from even the vaguest of descriptions.

Kent: Hey, I was hot and I was hungry!

but Mitch's high-pitched voice is hard to deal with.

This is what we intellectual types call a, "foil," Monte Crusto. Just like the foil used to make popcorn. FAILure, thy name is Crusty. Seppuku is too good for you at this point; yea, Justice Bao can only but administer Karmic Justice now...

TW: Crusty Bait & Bate

[Slumbrew]

That was Uncle Rico living in the walls.

[SugarFree]

Directed by Bob Clark, who went on to do Porky's and A Christmas Story.

[bacon-magic]

Oh, so he's a true artist. Loved both of those movies.

[SugarFree]

I can't really recommend Black Christmas unless the idea of a beat-up looking Margot Kidder with her 6-pack a day voice playing the least convincing teenager ever somehow turns you on.

26 playing a 20 year old that looked 40. Baffling.

[bacon-magic]

A true actress...I liked her in Indiana Jones.

[SugarFree]

That was Karen Allen, unless you were just making a joke.

The Hill: Trump team prepares dramatic cuts [to government spending]

The departments of Commerce and Energy would see major reductions in funding, with programs under their jurisdiction either being eliminated or transferred to other agencies. The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.

Overall, the blueprint being used by Trump's team would reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years.

My prog friends are already whinging about how this will mean the end of school arts programs. Ugh. Ten thousand feelz when what they need is a thought.

[Pro Libertate]

Everything must go! Clearance!

I wonder if they have a commercial meat slicer hitting the auction block? I've been looking for one for a while....

[jack sprat]

[LynchPin1477]

So on average a $1 trillion reduction per year? Damn. That would be almost 25%. I assume it's almost entirely backloaded so that the savings are never actually realized in practice, though.

[Brett L]

Even if it just held steady for 4 years, the economy would take off like a rocket.

Is that a thing? I don't recall ever being shown inaugurations when I was in school.

[jesse.in.mb]

We watched the OJ verdict in middle school.

[Pro Libertate]

That's entertainment, not law.

[jesse.in.mb]

I never claimed otherwise. I think that's the only live newsworthy thing I've watched in a classroom though.

[RBS]

You didn't get to watch Channel One?

[jesse.in.mb]

Channel One? I had to look that up. I immediately thought of Channel 1 Releasing which is probably the MOST NSFW link I've posted here. So don't click on it. Kthx.

[Slumbrew]

"Hah, Jesse SF'd the link. Let me fix it and see... "

I must remember that my tastes differ from Jesse's - holy christ, you weren't kidding about NSFW (NTTIATWWT).

[jesse.in.mb]

I love that someone always clicks through. There's a thread somewhere where PapayaSF (IIRC) linked a web shop for sex toys for gay men and Irish was beside himself.

[Slumbrew]

I'm not particularly uptight, that site is just swinging for the fences from the get-go.

[jesse.in.mb]

Yeah, I've never been to their site. Seen a few of their vids if someone I like is in them. When I went digging for the URL (on my work computer) I couldn't close the browser fast enough.

[Zunalter]

I watched 9/11 in class.

[DOOMco]

we were on a field trip. I heard it on the radio on the way there. My mom was driving us.

[jesse.in.mb]

I was woken up early by a classmate for 9/11 my freshman year of college. We were required to go to class and got a very poorly phrased lesson on blowback from the lefty intro to psych prof.

[Zunalter]

Interestingly, I was watching it in my Psych 101 class as well; though we just watched, sans blowhard grandstanding.

[Enough About Palin]

We got to watch the announcement and aftermath of the JFK assassination in First grade. It was serendipity actually. The TV was being turned on for some other reason but went the set came on, there it was. Still remember our teacher bursting into tears.

[Playa Manhattan.]

I saw the Challenger once. Live. And then they immediately turned off the TV.

[bacon-magic]

Me too. Gradgeeated in '92 from public skool.

[Zeb]

My class was going to watch it later on video tape, so I didn't get to see it. Which kind of pissed me off.

[jesse.in.mb]

I was 3 for Challenger. I know that I watched it at home because I was so confused a year later why they'd send another one if they kept exploding and my mom thought it was hilarious because we were watching a TV movie about the Challenger explosion.

[Pro Libertate]

I was in college. Terrible shock.

An idiot. I also wouldn't limit that to the 4-year-old version.

[Rhywun]

I was a teenager on a ski trip in Austria (living in Germany). Other than 9/11 I can't recall another historical event in my lifetime that is so "where were you when?"

[grrizzly]

I could see this from a window in a lecture hall when I was a freshman in college.

[Swiss Servator]

Go Boris - shell them @#$%ers!

[grrizzly]

That was pretty much what I thought about it at the time.

It's also bizarre when the radio talks about "the troops loyal to the government" and it's your country's government not some Latin American regime.

[Juice]

For the Challenger all we had was a teacher coming into class to make an announcement about it.

And the branch Davidian thing happened in while I was in college.

[G?C]

Saw Challenger in middle school. Saw Columbia while randomly flipping through the tv, stopping on the NASA channel thinking it would be interesting to watch the whole landing (I have since refused to watch any live space shots/re-entries if humans are on board - I'm 0-2...).

Watched 9-11 (the DC portion at least) from my office window. Worked across the street from the Pentagon. Lived about a mile away.

Can't recall ever watching an inauguration speech or state of the union. Not the least bit interested in what pols have to say...

[Juice]

Middle School? Fuck, I was in college ready to graduate. I'm not that old am I?

[Animal]

We watched Neil Armstrong step down onto the Moon in elementary school.

[Brett L]

We're only 15 years apart.

[Juvenile Bluster]

Never did as a kid. Only times we rolled TVs into the room were for space shuttle launches, and we stopped that when I was in 3rd grade after the Challenger exploded.

[$park? is totally a Swifty]

It is a thing in some places. Although elementary school would be a yuge waste of time.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I would pitch a fit either way.

[Not a True MJG]

And elementary school? How boring for the kids.

I do recall every class shutting down for Obama's inauguration when I was in college. I found a corner and read Human Action.

[Crusty Juggler]

I found a corner and read Human Action.

Now that is a euphemism.

[Briggie]

Thank God I had already graduated right before Obama's inauguration (Spring 08). Was it as much of a circlejerk that I thought it would be?

[Not a True MJG]

This was at NYU - and the arts school, no less - so you can figure out the answer.

[Rhywun]

No it is not a thing but let's OUTRAGE over it anyway.

[gaoxiaen]

It's easier than actually teaching, so there's that.

[Briggie]

Don't really remember many big events that we watched in school. I remember some of the Gulf War newscasts (I was in kindergarten). Later on a soldier who fought there visited our classs, which was pretty cool.

Saw 9/11 right before the second tower fell. I was a junior in high school. Was on my way to Literature class when I heard someone talking about it (No Facebook or many cellphones back then). Was in Literature class when our headmaster made the announcement on the PA.

[Episteme]

In middle school in 1992, my school ran the Clinton Inauguration coverage from CNN in our 'small theatre' on a projector for folks to wander in and out to watch. As a member of the A/V club, I even got out of some classes to sit there and make sure that the system didn't break!

[BigT]

We watched the launch of Friendship 7 with John Glenn aboard. But we had to turn it off right after launch, so a friend and I listened on a transistor radio surreptitiously in class and in the schoolyard.

[Homple]

Why would anyone make fourth graders sit through a political speech, irrespective of who was delivering it?

[C. S. P. Schofield]

The real issue here is that public school teachers have forgotten that they are hirelings. Their union protects them from the consequences of not doing what they are f*cking told by their employers. Further, they have been taking the wrong lesson from the Dayton Monkey Trial for almost a century. They think it demonstrates that teachers should teach their conscience, where the real lesson is that anteacher has no right to teach something not on the curriculum he was hired to teach. Scopes lost. Darrow knew he was going to lose from the start (Mencken's accounts of the trial make this clear). The point of defending Scopes was to hold the curriculum he was hired to teach up for derision by the nation. But Scopes was going to lose, no matter what. He had no legal leg to stand on.

This teacher needs to be told, "showing the Inaugural address was a planned lesson. Stick to the lesson plan or we can your ass."

You forgot Chile under Pinochet = Milton Friedman is evil (and he liked school choice too so double evil)

[Brett L]

How is Chile doing? Didn't they have to murder him to get rid of him? Oh wait, Chile's doing fine and (not at all supporting his methods -- obviously he had kill squads and employed murderers) he voluntarily ceded power after a coup. I think that makes him and George Washington in the Western Hemisphere and Cincinnatus makes pretty much everyone.

[jack sprat]

Yep, and Venezuela went the virtuous path according to these progs

[Calidissident]

Doesn't Sweden or one of the Scandinavian countries have school vouchers?

It's funny how progressives love screaming about how much we should be like (insert country X) here until it comes to implementing something that rubs their ideology the wrong way.

[Juice]

All Scandinavian countries have some form of school choice and merit based pay for teachers. Also I believe the Netherlands has a school voucher system.

[Zunalter]

Nothing says "radical authoritarian" like a system wherein a government allots you money to do with as you please.

[Brett L]

The policy allows for the firing of warning shots, which may cause some problems with most police departments.

Either the danger is great enough to shoot someone, or it is not. Imagine when some random citizen/perp gets killed by a "warning shot".

That means creating space between an officer and a subject, talking and trying to calm a subject, waiting for backups and supervisors to arrive and trying to resolve a situation without gunfire, when the subject does not have a gun.

We don't do this already?

[RaymondhW]

Considering how bad cops are at shooting the first 3 shots are warning shots anyways. And no we don't already do that. Any weapon means you use your gun. Cops will get reprimanded for using non lethal force is the suspect had a knife.

TBF, I sort of understand why some of these people are terrified given the way they and their media allies have been talking about Trump for the last year or so.

[SimonD]

I understand it too. They think of government (and the President in particular) as mommy, daddy, God, and Big Brother all rolled into one. If I believed this, the thought of Literally Hitler* taking that office would terrify me as well.

As it is, the thing that terrifies me is that people like this exist, and that they vote.

[The Fusionist]

I know several people upset over Trump, but not to a disabling extent.

[one true athena]

what gets me is that this is seen as admirable behavior. Not pathetic. It's such a climate of victimhood that being too weak to handle an orderly transition of power to a candidate you don't like, is seen as something they brag about.

If Trump really were Literally Hitler, all these precious snowflakes would be informing on their neighbors, not "resisting".

[The Fusionist]

The last time there was such a massive freakout over a Republican getting elected, the snowflakes made their own country as a safe space.

So, Kevin O'Leary (also called derisively Canada's Trump) has announced he will be running for leadership of Conservative Party. The Beloved State Broadcaster got one of his Dragon's Den (Shark Tank is US version?) co-hosts to write an op-ed.

One of the more revealing moments I've experienced with Kevin was when a group of inner-city kids from Halifax came on Dragons' Den to pitch their not-for-profit business, Hope Blooms.

Here was a group of vulnerable kids who took an abandoned lot in Halifax and turned it into a garden to grow herbs and vegetables to then turn into salad dressing. Some took on the role of tending the garden, others packaged and some sold the product at the local market.

Kevin, not surprisingly, didn't give them anything except for an utter lack of consideration for what these kids were doing, and why it mattered.

Looking back, it's plain to see that he didn't participate because there was nothing in it for Kevin. He only saw how he'd lose $10,000 instead of seeing how he might change a kid's life.
...
I don't want a leader that's only in it for himself. I do not want a leader who will cut and run when it's in his best interest. I don't want a leader who views our country as nothing more than a balance sheet.

If this is a common sentiment among his opponents, then Trump is going to walk all over them. He hasn't even assumed power, and already they are "exhausted" by "resisting" him?

[Gadfly]

If the GOP can't cut government funded art, then the least they can do is implement restrictions on the art produced under the government's auspices such that the artists, out of a desire to maintain "artistic integrity" or "fight the power", will cut themselves off from the funding. Maybe Congress should require that all government funded art projects should be hagiographies of Trump? That should cut the artists' demand for art subsidies quite quickly.

Why Trump voters are not welcome in my house this holiday
My wife Alice and I are not having our after-the-holidays party this year. It's a 20+ year tradition; a welcome respite for our friends following Christmas and Hanukah. Guests always say how much they appreciate a party after the holidays and having a chance to finally relax.

This year, however, I told my Alice that Trump voters were not welcome in my home. Living in Dallas, Texas, and given the conservative bent of our friends, that meant no party. We couldn't invite only the few people we knew who conformed to our sense of decency. We weren't even sure where some of our neighbors stood. So we cancelled the whole affair.

In fact, I went further. I told my tennis group, whom I had known for years, I would no longer be playing with them, since most were Trump supporters. I stated that I could not socialize with people who lacked a moral compass which I consider fundamental to being American....

[Playa Manhattan.]

We have a neighbor that we would hangout with from time to time. My dog would hang out with their dogs. The husband was cool and laid back. I got along with him, but his wife was a kind of a snooty bitch. She could still be talked to without a problem, but anyway, we would still hang out with them. No biggie. Then one day she found out that not only am I from the south, but I am not a Democratic Party type "liberal" like her. She didn't come right out and call me a stupid troglodyte, but she basically said that about all those people in the south and how dumb they are. Now, you won't get much of an argument from me about that in particular, but she was basically coming out with her true colors of a snooty bitch. So anyway, we aren't invited over there anymore. And I think she told her poor hubby never to hang out with me either. I mean, it wasn't even close to an issue ever before, but for some reason when the subject same up, now she just can't even. Some people. *shrug*

Reposting this from another thread - Found this paragraph reposted by someone on Facebook (so I don't know the person who actually wrote it):

"If you aren't concerned about Betsy DeVos, you should be. Our tax dollars should not be funding private schools. If you need further evidence of why that is, please take a look at some excerpts from one of my middle school history textbooks from my Christian school (2006-2007). Blatant propaganda against feminism, socialism, people of color, and even John Steinbeck."

A lot of the pictures had legitimately stupid text, but the double standard and hypocrisy is astounding. Everyone knows public school textbooks never contain stupid or inaccurate material, and of course it's totally ok to push blatant propaganda in favor of my ideologies in public schools, but god forbid parents send their kids to schools that do the opposite.

[kbolino]

It's also extremely telling. Who gives a shit if your textbook denigrates feminism? Are you literate, numerate, and able to use a computer? Would you still be if you went to your designated private school?

CNN: Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power
...Blitzer introduced the segment, saying, "What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?" and from there, CNN contributor Brian Todd took over to outline the line of succession if an attack blew up the inaugural dais, killing both Trump and Pence.

The upshot was that in the case of both heads of state being killed, the Secretary of State would take over. Currently that man is Secretary of State John Kerry, But in case some objected because his office would also end as of noon on Inauguration Day, then it would be the Speaker of the House ? Republican Paul Ryan ? or even Obama's Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon.

The report also noted that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration could also become president in the case of a disaster. So, in CNN's analysis, most of the people who would take over in the worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly....

[Calidissident]

Speaker of the House and President Pro Tem of the Senate are both ahead of the Secretary of State.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to weigh in on whether police in the District of Columbia violated the constitutional rights of people attending a party in a vacant house featuring scantily clad women with money tucked in their garter belts.

Officers with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department went to the house late at night on March 16, 2008, following a complaint from a neighbor. Officers testified that they saw scenes reminiscent of a strip club.

The partygoers gave differing reasons for the event, with some saying it was to celebrate a birthday and others saying it was a bachelor party. Police could not identify a guest of honor or get in contact with a woman named only as Peaches who was said to be the host.
