1. The left are running scared. Trump is threatening to roll back much of their hard work over the last few decades, and, even if he doesn’t, the continuing economic decline will likely cause a massive reduction in funding of left-wing organizations (e.g. through student loans) before the next election.

   They know they can’t win in a battle of free speech, so they’re going to do their best to ensure people only hear their echo chamber.

2. “I think I can guess what Glenn’s next USA Today column will be about.”

   I hope they need to print it on asbestos paper (and use asbestos code for the web version).

3. The comments on Johnson’s post are … revealing.

   Of his and his followers worldview far more than any evil on the part of that arch-fiend Reynolds.

   (I remember, vaguely, a time before Charles Johnson went batfeces insane.

   But that was a long, long time ago.)

4. We thought it was only a game.

5. Frankly, I think “Run them down” was the right way to say it. If they (I don’t care if they are white, black, brown, or purple with polkadots) are stopping traffic and attacking cars, it’s just fine (and advisable) to use deadly force to resist (And more importantly, get out of danger)- and in such a situation, the most effective way is likely to be stomping on the gas.

6. Forget about that.

   There is some kind of Cease Fire thingy negotiated in Syria and a pair of U.S. F16s and a pair of A10s attack the Syrian Army, killing 60 Syrian soldiers. We say it is a mistake as the indented target was ISIS/ISIL/Daesh/whatever-people-call-it; a Russian envoy is blaming a “rogue element” in the U.S. Military.

   The “bombing is a mistake and we will pay compensation to the families of the deceased” thingy might have worked if Obama Administration operative Samantha Powers hadn’t told the Russian dude to “get stuffed.”

   A day or two later, a UN relief convoy to those suffering civilians you see on the TV news every night in the rebel-held sector of Aleppo goes up in flames. “Our people” blame a Russian airstrike; the Russians say the trucks “just caught on fire”; Mr. Assad blames a rebel missile attack.

   The world is going up in flames, the Blogfather who is an attorney and a law professor careful with his words really “put his foot in it”, the Russians cannot coordinate with their Syrian puppet an explanation for the convoy attack. Do we believe “the Administration source” about the bombing of the Syrian Army being a mistake? Do we believe that the Russians are that cynical that they would bomb a UN humanitarian relief convoy in retaliation?

   1. Do we believe that the Russians are that cynical that they would bomb a UN humanitarian relief convoy in retaliation?

      Maybe? It wouldn’t be crazy considering everything that has happened over there.

      What is really cynical is Hillary planting a question to a reporter (paraphrased), “Do you think Russia had something to do with these terror attacks in order to help Trump?”

      Hillary, “Could be.”

   2. Do we believe that the Russians are that cynical that they would bomb a UN humanitarian relief convoy in retaliation?

      Cynical? They may have reasons beyond that. The supplies were reportedly heading for rebel-held areas. That helps the rebels, in some cases directly (ISIS for one often seizes and then sells relief supplies) or indirectly via easing their logistical situation. It’s also worth remembering that at least a very large portion of the rebels and their civilian supporters are the bad guys: they’re Islamist, and in some cases, openly terrorist-affiliated (like the Al Nursa front).

      So, I can see strategic reasons why the Russians might want that convoy and the warehouses obliterated. I’m not saying they are right, only that they may have motives other than cynicism.

      As for their excuse (the trucks and warehouses just caught fire), now that’s IMHO probably just sheer bloody-mindedness, plus an opportunity to make a further fool of Kerry.

7. And why is Rand calling himself a “deplorable”?

   I thought he didn’t like Donald Trump?

   1. I’m sure that Hillary would consider me deplorable regardless of my level of support for Donald Trump.

      1. It had nothing to do with that pod plant I left in his garden. I swear!

8. It was terse and ambiguous. Unfortunately easy to interpret the tweet in different ways.

   Not sure why people think people don’t have the right to remove themselves from a violent situation like that riot. But then again many of the people upset over the tweet defend the actual violence that took place.

9. Killing people is bad. They learned this in school. Self defense is a hate crime.

10. On my last contract, I worked in Milwaukee, but left before the riots. I lived and worked in the part of town where there were the problems, and I had rocks and such thrown at my car, as well as people trying to get me to stop. The client’s security office told me to drive thru, even if that meant getting a ticket for going thru a red light.
    I was the only contractor who didn’t have a handgun in my glove compartment; my bat feces crazy landlady prohibited firearms on her property(college professor in the arts at Marquette).
    I just got a call Thursday from an agency for a gig in Charlotte; my wife really doesn’t want me to take it…

    1. We may have to install flails on our cars like the tanks on D-Day.

       1. Would it be legal to install tazer strips on a car to zap idiots who don’t get clear?

          1. The police use water cannons and rubber bullets.

             Has anybody else noticed the similarity between these morons and zombies? The same weapons should work on either.
