I have twice been accus...Getting back to THE FACTS. I have twice been accused on this thread of "raining" on Trump or "Being negative." I ask for evidence and I get silence. Because the accusations were baseless. Some Trump people here are acting just like Dem fascists. I used 2 adjectives to describe Trump on this thread. For the presser, I said he was "good." His speech in Phoenix, "Very Good." This is INSANE folks. You all bounce back and forth between me and the bra salesman and me and Trump. You seem at times to be conflating the two. I imagine the bra salesman likes that. The FACTS on this thread are, I was positive and laudatory about Trump. I was "contemptuous" of the bra salesman. It's on the record in writing!!<br /><br /><br />Now, the bra salesman is bringing in his hurt little feelings about things I've said from weeks and months ago. He is an emotional cripple, like most Irish. He lets his anger fester and then spurts it out weeks/months/years later. A few good hearted people tried to play peacekeeper on this thread. I thanked them for their efforts, explained how I have tried to come to some sort of peace, and that it is futile. The man lives like the movie character he uses as his screen name. We are both complicit in this dysfunctional relationship. I am man enough to admit it and made attempts to improve it. He can't admit anything. He must stay in character @ all times. I'm tired of this girly Reality TV horseshit, and I know you all are as well. But, you can see the Reality TV guy wallows in this drama by his reference @ 1:04p. He's auditioning for another show.ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-17330569170365286682016-09-01T14:03:38.577-04:002016-09-01T14:03:38.577-04:00There is a lot of butt hurt all around.

I'm tire...<i>She tired of this fucking horseshit!</i><br /><br />I'm tired of it too. From all quarters. How would you know what April Apple is consciously avoiding, ND? A remark like that is as presumptuous as the presuming you're chiding Trooper for doing. Only chiding is too mild a term for the contempt you've been delivering along with your observations and opinions, and in my opinion, it hurts this blog. <br /><br />Trooper's contempt is his problem. Your contempt for him is yours. <br /><br /><i>Contempt is a harsh judge, devoid of compassion, no matter how soft its face may look. It’s not as aggressive as hate, nor as bitter as resentment, but it is just as dehumanizing. When we’re caught up in contempt, we hold ourselves morally above the object of our contempt.<br /><br />Anger and disgust can be directed at an action, but contempt is directed at a person, always. In contempt there is no significant connection to anything redeeming or healing. We might as well have mercilessly cast our offending person into a pit with no lifeline to anything that might help heal or remedy the situation. Contempt is a cold fuck-you, as calculating as it is cruel–a mix of icy disgust and toxic criticalness.<br /><br />Where anger shows up as moral fire and shame as moral disturbance, contempt shows up as moral condescension. It is not out for justice (like anger) or remorse (like shame) but for condemnation. If we’re on the receiving end of contempt, we’re not on trial (as we might be in anger) or on the hot seat (as we might be in shame), but we’re already sentenced from on high, with no parole. Contempt is resentment in snobbery’s garb, finding enough satisfaction in its heartless dismissal of its target to offset any envy it might have toward that person.<br /><br />In contempt we not only dehumanize the other, but ourselves as well, marooning ourselves from our heart in the process. </i>MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300520132972757396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-11343685608936783172016-09-01T07:59:41.063-04:002016-09-01T07:59:41.063-04:00Amartel, Amen!

I will ask you to point out where I said ANYTHING negative about Trump here. I posed the same question to Evi and he admitted I had not. If you expect me to be part of an adoration society, well that ain't gonna happen. I called out the bra salesman for spinning and saying his hero, kicked Pena's ass. That's spin. I had the temerity to say both Pena and Trump comported themselves well @ the presser. I complimented Trump on both his presser and speech in Phoenix. <br /><br />It seems that a certain contingent of you rabid folks need someone to punch. April is still commenting on the blog but consciously avoided this thread. She tired of this fucking horseshit! DBQ pointed out the teenage girl syndrome. Look in the mirror. <br /><br />Finally, when I say something negative there is never ANY fucking doubt. Stop building strawmen, it hurts this blog and keeps people from commenting. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-46549879279573121872016-09-01T01:05:19.188-04:002016-09-01T01:05:19.188-04:00So fuck him.
I bought a couple of pieces, and I ...So fuck him. <br /><br />I bought a couple of pieces, and I love them. I gave one to Michael for letting me stay at another of his condos, not the one at Cañon Verde. He refused it. I go, "take it." He goes, "No, I cannot." I go, "Please accept it" He goes "Oh, no, I cannot." I said, "TAKE IT GODDMANIT, WON'T YOU PLEASE LET ME EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION? " <br /><br />He goes, "Okay. Since you put it that way." <br /><br />It is a small piece anyway. A cute little statuette of a dolphin blowing water out its blowhole and little boy being lifted by the waterspout. In the soft blue and pink pastel colors Bustamante uses a lot. <br /><br />And he says its one of his favorite things. <br /><br />Then at a party a guy was admiring it. I said, "I gave him that." <br /><br />And he goes, "Oh really? It's Bustamante? I thought it was a bath toy made out of rubber." <br /><br />Thud. <br /><br />And I go, "Bastard." <br /><br />Talk about taking the piss.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-2460507361802851762016-09-01T01:05:13.999-04:002016-09-01T01:05:13.999-04:00PIstolas are all well and good but a complete outf...PIstolas are all well and good but a complete outfit takes two crossed bandolera.<br /><br />And of course a poncho and a broad sombrero. <br /><br />Maybe I'm thinking of a cartoon and a very fast mouse. <br /><br />At a shop in Cancun there were framed photographs of historic Mexican politicians and one of the guys actually did looka like that. <br /><br />Like this: [<a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&biw=1200&bih=685&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=mexican+history%2C+revolutionaries&oq=mexican+history%2C+revolutionaries&gs_l=img.3...12971.18149.0.18345.19.18.1.0.0.0.136.1445.16j2.18.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.2.172...0j0i30k1j0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1.d7czbFwCqlw" rel="nofollow">mexican history, revolutionary</a>] <br /><br />A whole bunch of them did. In fact one was named Pancho (Villa) I think. <br /><br />But seriously, Folks, Enrique Peña Nieto <br /><br />Did you know nieto means grandson? <br />And peña means rock or boulder? <br />And Enrique means, um, hang on, it's on the tip of my tongue, um, Rick! That's it<br /><br />But seriously, Rick Rock Grandson has problems of his own. You see, *one arm akimbo, the other hand offering an invisible cup of air* following a recent massacre and nobody in government held accountable the population considers Peña Nieto corrupt as all the others. This was his chance to be shown standing up to the big mean nasty revolting el gringo. I'm not so sure it worked. And Trump has already discussed at length how he intends to coerce Mexico to pay for border protection. Not that it will actually come about but he did already explain it. If they want to do business, and they do, if they want to continue reaping benefits of free trade, and they do, then it will have to be free and they'll have to put an end to one-way free movement of labor.<br /><br />For you see, *switches akimbo arms* Free trade means exactly that, free both ways. Give and take. Take and give. Two way lanes. Back and forth. Two way flow. Beneficial to both sides. And not lopsided as we have it. <br /><br />I sure do like their avocados, though. And their mangos. And the bench I that I paid $800..00 for made in Canada I saw knocked off in Guadalajara and sold in Puerto Vallarta for $250. And where else are you going to buy your <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=sergio+bustamantes&num=30&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1200&bih=685&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiv6vjzre3OAhUH6WMKHVF3D98Q_AUICSgC" rel="nofollow">Sergio Bustamantes? </a>Huh? Where? <br /><br />Incidentally, Michael Grant told me that Bustamante owns a condominium at Cañon Verde next to his own, an odd place with Escher like stairs that go up then down then up then down then cornered, then up then down, It's insane. I said I would like to see that because he filled the place with his own uniquely weird art. And Michael said<br /><br /><b>FORGET IT, CHIP!</b>Just put that out of your mind. They guy absolutely despises Americans. He hates us. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hates, us. <br /><br />And I'm all, "Whaaaaaat? How can that be? Americans are his best customers. What a dick. And Michael goes, "I don't know. He just does.
