Are you aware of the Mayor of Berkeley's tweets?

 

This was a little before he was supposed to speak:

 

He's backpedaling faster than a cartoon character now, and rumors are swirling that 1 - He told the police to stand down amid the protests/riots, and 2 - is under FBI investigation for incitement.

Yes, I'm aware. If he handled this internally as poorly as suggested, he'll get torched, I'm sure.

Now he's changed his twitter to  @scioscialist and locked it. Shitbag is a baseball fan.

What a douchebag.

Also, any chance that he's...

The individuals that attacked people and destroyed property ARE idiots and their actions are unacceptable. I'm not giving Cal cover here that is undue, nor does it diminish the idiocy of the aggressors if they are Berkeley students. He is an asshole as far as I am concerned and he's a massive attention whore. The fact that stuff like this plays into his hands 

Soooooo...

You weren't sure what I was referring to but you were sure enough to make a declarative statement about what was most concerning to me? Neato.

Wicked is 100% spot on with his response to this. I completely understand your reluctance to consider it as being true, though.

Use your words. I know you have them.

You made an assumption about my thoughts that was incorrect. I don't think posting a gif does much to change that.

For you, what would change that?

Nothing really. Good point. I'd still think that you were off base. I guess that I might have a little more insight into what you were thinking.

So I guess leftists are pissed that Lady Gaga didn't make an ass of herself during the halftime show

[red321]

Oh, I don't know...didn't she try and dance?

 

People are kind of dumb...going from God Bless America to This Land is Your Land is pretty striking. You don't have to use a bullhorn to make every point.

Considering the (alleged) heavy handedness of the NFL content control it was a pretty sneaky and effective statement.

I would love for someone on the left to point out where Rubin has missed the mark. 

 

I love his show btw. Even when he has gnar lefties and atheists on. 

[mtangelsfan]

Me too.

Here is another example of the left's idea of free thought.

Yeah he's an odd fellow and not nearly as interesting as his guests, but he does a great job of facilitating actual conversation with people from all different walks of life. I really enjoy The Rubin Report

It's wrong to express displeasure at a town hall held by your congressional representative? If they actually physically threatened him, that's wrong. If they were loud and raucous...I see no issue with that as long as they weren't shouting down folks from speaking.

While I hate the notion of both sides do it...packing the town hall was taken pretty much from the tea party playbook and it's a fairly effective grassroots effort. It worked well for them when ACA was being finalized rolled out and the left would be smart to push for people to attend townhalls (with the caveat...physical threats and shouting down different viewpoints are not acceptable). If congress starts feeling the heat back at home you are going to see them less willing to just march along with the Trump/GOP efforts on things like ACA. That's one of the reasons why the ethics rules changes were stripped (Trump tweet notwithstanding), and it's why you are seeing a lot of Republicans start to, at least think about, fixing or replacing Obamacare instead of just repealing it first.

Kim Mattoch, a mother of three and event planner, told TPM that she tried to go to a Saturday town hall in Roseville, California with GOP Rep. Tom McClintock but couldn’t make it in. The 200-seat theater hosting the event was quickly filled to capacity, leaving hundreds waiting outside.

“I’m a constituent of McClintock and a registered Republican in a very Republican district—though I don’t really align very well these days with the Republican Party,” Mattoch said in a Monday phone call. “So I wanted to go to the town hall because I legitimately had questions for the congressman.”

Mattoch said the protesters waiting outside had a wide range of “legitimate concerns.” She personally hoped to ask her representative about how the GOP was progressing on repealing and replacing the ACA and why House Republicans last week voted to kill a ruling aimed at preventing coal mining debris from ending up in waterways.

Yet McClintock told the Los Angeles Times that he thought an “anarchist element” was present in the crowd outside his event, and said he was escorted to his car by police because he’d been told the atmosphere was “deteriorating.”

Ramon Fliek, who attended the McClintock event with his wife, told TPM on Monday that police “were kind enough to block the whole road” to make space for the overflow crowd, and that he overheard protesters thanking law enforcement for “doing their jobs.”

“If you look at the videos from the event, you can’t get any notion that it was aggressive,” he said. “There was an older woman with a poodle that ran after him and it’s like, okay, the older lady with the poodle is not going to threaten you. I understand that he might want to give that impression, but it was very pleasant.”

Fliek, an immigrant from the Netherlands who has lived in the U.S. for over a decade, said he and his wife have questions about Obamacare repeal and Trump’s temporary ban on refugees as well as immigrants from seven majority-Muslim nations, which McClintock has said he “strongly” supports.

“As an immigrant I have a hard time hearing this anti-immigrant rhetoric when for me it was so easy to come here,” he said. “Because I’m white, I’m from a wealthy country, I have a medical degree so I was well educated. So it’s really odd to hear people scream against immigrants that’s clearly based on their skin color and specifically the countries they’re coming from.”
