#WTF?!: Trump’s Insane Thanksgiving Speech to the Coast Guard –”This is Good Stuff.” Watch

0
0

I would say “there are no words” but there are actually a lot of words. So many words. All strung together incoherently by, sadly, the most powerful, and, in competition with Kim Jong-Un, the craziest fucking leader on the planet. These are the words Trump said to the Coast Guard on Thanksgiving Day. I can’t even. Read them and weep for our country.

“It is an honour to be here. I have to tell you, you know. The Coast Guard always respected, but if you’re looking at it as a brand, there’s no brand that went up more than the Coast Guard with what happened in Texas, and I would say in particular, Texas has been incredible. You saved 16,000 lives. Nobody knows that. 16,000 lives. In fact when I first heard the number, I said, you mean like 600? 500? 16,000 lives in Texas.

So as bad as that hurricane was, and that was bad one. That was a big water job, right? It kept coming in and going back they couldn’t get rid of it. They’d never seen it. I guess it was the biggest water dump they’ve ever seen. But when you’ve got 16,000

[inaudible] big groups of people

[inaudible, Trump turns back around] but when you’ve got 16,000, that’s really something. And then Florida hit. And you know that went very well, you know that went pretty well, right? The job you did in Florida. And then Puerto Rico. I really mean that, I think that there’s no brand of any kind, I don’t just mean a military brand, that’s gone up more than the Coast Guard. Incredible people. You’ve done an incredible job. I love coming in here and doing this with you today. I think it’s — we have to keep you very well fed. This is good stuff. It’s an honour. This is the first lady, you know.

Melania Trump: Happy Thanksgiving.

Trump: We went together to Texas. We saw what you were doing. You just followed that storm, right next to that storm. You saved so many people. I still haven’t figured out how people take their boats out into a hurricane. Some day you’ll explain it. Jean was just telling me they actually do it to to save their boat in many cases. They’re not thinking about their life. They’re thinking about their boats. They go out in a boat and think think they have a wonderful boat. They’ve had it for years. It can weather anything and then they have 25-foot waves crashing down. And that would be the end of that. You saved a lot of people. I want to thank you. On behalf of the whole country and on behalf of us, what a job you’ve done. Thank you very much.

I’ll also take questions. Should we leave the media here? To do the questions or should we tell the media? It’s Thanksgiving. Let’s let the media stay. Anybody have any questions about the country, how we’re doing or any of those things? Wow. I love it when you don’t. That means you’re doing great. I love that. That’s the greatest. The press I know doesn’t have any questions. If you do, we won’t take them but that’s already. The press has plenty of questions.

The country’s doing really well. Stock market, all time high. This is all good stuff. I just spoke to a lot of your friends in Afghanistan and Iraq. We spoke to the USS Monterey. Great ship, great missile ship. We spoke to a lot of different folks, from the Air Force, to the Army, just now, a little while ago at Mar-a-Lago. The telecommunication systems [inaudible] we go live to Iraq, live to Afghanistan, and it’s really incredible. I told them, our country is doing great. You folks are fighting so hard and working so hard. It’s nice that you’re working for something that’s really starting to work. We’ve cut back so much on regulation and all the waste and the all of the abuse.

The stock market on Friday hit the all-time high. The highest it’s ever been, ever. In your whole long life, the stock market is higher than it’s ever been. And that means your 401(k)s and all the things you have. You know whether it’s, even if you’re in the military. You have a country that’s starting to turn. We want to have a strong country.

We want have a country where I can buy new Coast Guard cutters and not have to worry about it, alright. And that’s what we’re doing, we’re building up wealth so we can take care of our protection. And we’re ordering tremendous amounts of new equipment, we’re at $700 billion for the military. And you know they were cutting back for years, they jut kept cutting, cutting cutting the military. And you got lean, to put it nicely, depleted was the word, and now it’s changing.

The Navy, I can tell you, we’re ordering ships, with the Air Force I can tell you we’re ordering a lot of planes, in particular the F-35 fighter jet, which is like almost like an invisible fighter. I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, how good is this plane? They said, well, sir, you can’t see it. I said but in a fight. You know, in a fight, like I watch on the movies. The fight, they’re fighting. How good is this? They say, well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it’s right next to them, it can’t see it. I said that helps. That’s a good thing.

But I mean we have equipment that — nobody has the equipment that we have. And it’s sad when we’re selling our equipment to other countries but we’re not buying it ourselves. But now that’s all changed. And I said, the stuff that we have is always a little bit better too. When we sell to other countries, even if they’re allies you never know about an ally. An ally can turn. You’re going to find that out. But I always say make lives a little bit better. Give it that extra speed, a little bit — keep a little bit — keep about 10% in the bag. We have — nobody has what with we have. That’s what we’re doing. We’re really proud of the Coast Guard and I’m very proud — I walked in today and Jean said, the day I got elected, the following morning, they were putting up the statement that I made right on your front door and I came in and the first thing I noticed, of course, I said wow, look at that. I said, did you put that up just for me because I happen to be coming here today? And you did that the first day. That tells me something. That tells me something.

Let’s go, fellas. Come on. Let’s get up here. Let’s get up here. Yeah. This is good stuff.”

Donald J. Trump, November 23, 2015

#OnThisGayDay: Harvey Milk and George Moscone are Murdered

0
0

November 27, 1978– After receiving a series of death threats, Harvey Milk wrote:

“If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”

Milk, had become the first openly gay elected official in the history of California, where he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was shot twice in the head by conservative, disgruntled San Francisco City Supervisor Daniel White. White also killed Mayor George Moscone.

White and Milk had enjoyed a friendly relationship at first, but that changed when Milk opposed a zoning bill pushed by White. Then, White became the only supervisor to vote against Milk’s Gay Rights Ordinance. It really pissed White off that Milk’s work in the Gay Rights Movement made him a National Icon while White’s career simply sputtered. This sent him into a deep depression.

In early November 1978, White resigned from his Supervisor seat, saying that the salary was not enough to support his family. Mayor Moscone told White that he might consider reappointing him if he chose to return, yet several day later, when White did ask to return to his position, Moscone refused to reappoint him at the request by Milk.

On this day, 39-years ago, White entered San Francisco City Hall through a side door to avoid a weapons search. Moscone’s secretary let White into Moscone’s office, where White shot him four times, the final shots were fired in his head as Moscone lay on the floor.

White then walked down the hall to Milk’s office and asked: “Harvey, can I see you a minute?” Milk followed White into his former office, where White shot him five times, again finishing with two point-blank shots to the head.

Dianne Feinstein, President of the Board of Supervisors, announced the deaths on the steps on City Hall. The city was horrified. That night, 40,000 San Franciscans walked through their city streets and held candlelight vigils.

White confessed to his crime, but was only given five years in prison plus parole. His lawyers argued that junk food caused the depression that, in turn, triggered his murderous rage. That argument, dubbed the Twinkie Defense, was later banned in California.

Milk’s Supervisor seat was given to openly gay politician Harry Britt.

Milk’s death made him a Gay Martyr. One year after Milk’s murder, 100,000 people demonstrated for Gay Rights in Washington DC, with many in the crowd chanting: “Harvey Milk Lives”. Milk was also helped inspire Cleve Jones’ AIDS Quilt. Milk’s life and words, along with his bravery, help spur on the modern Gay Rights Movement.

Now, in the 21st century, many institutions are named after Harvey Milk, including The Harvey Milk High School in NYC. In 2009, the State of California named Milk’s birthday, May 22, Harvey Milk Day. Conservative Christians remain predictably outraged.

When You’re in London Next Spring for Harry & Meghan’s Wedding, Drop by the “World’s Best Bar”…

The American Bar’s head bartender, Erik Lorincz

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle just announced their engagement, so when your invitation arrives, here’s a spot to put on your agenda. The bar at the Savoy, called the American Barthis year took the title of World’s Best Bar for the first time in the hotel’s 127 year history. (You can find out about the other 49 fab bars here.)

In this new 21st century cocktail movement a classic bar can seem complacent or even boring. But bar manager Declan McGurk and head bartender Erik Lorincz, turned the American Bar around without tossing it’s history aside. McGurk says

“Four years ago when we came 20th in the World’s 50 Best Bars, we took it as feedback –it suggested to us that our bar wasn’t as engaging as it could be, particularly when you have a big head start with the name Savoy.

The next day we had a meeting and we decided quite quickly that the history of the American Bar is important but we’re talking about it too much.

We needed to start innovating and thinking beyond the story of the famous former head bartenders. Our history is like no other but the key to honoring this is to not just recycle stories, but write some ourselves.”

The Savoy Cocktail Book, was published in 1930, is practically the bartender’s bible. It’s a compendium of classics from both side of the Atlantic. Ada Coleman, joined the bar in 1903, and was an icon of her time, famously creating classic gin cocktail the Hanky Panky.

American bartender Harry Craddock mixes a drink at the Savoy Hotel in London in 1926.

Then barman Harry Craddock came along and created his signature White Lady. Craddock created more than 250 drinks in his time, and more importantly, he wrote them all down.

Lorincz arrived in late 2010, ushering in a new era. He came straight from the relaunch of The Connaught Bar– another top-rated London venue– and brought with him the knowledge of how modern hotel bars can work. A world-class bar isn’t just about drinks –it’s about finely tuned hospitality. Enter host-extraordinaire Declan McGurk who says.

“The menu launch of 2014 marked the 125th anniversary of the hotel. It also marked the move away from the listing of American Bar classic cocktails in the menu.

The Savoy Cocktail Book is still very much alive and we love to make these drinks, but from a menu point of view we had to write something truly appealing and engaging to the guests.”

The new drinks call on unusual ingredients, modern techniques and tell the stories of the hotel through its 125 years.

“In 2016 we launched the London menu, which took the weird and wonderful of London and brought those stories to life by cocktails.

The highlight of this was the making of our silent movie, Pickering Place, which is a short film creatively telling the story of the cocktail.”

The London menu was followed up by Coast to Coast this year –an exploration of England through drinks. The pair traveled the UK, finding inspiration from locations that would form chapters in the menu –the Garden of England (Kent), Art Deco London, Sherwood Forest, and Edinburgh.

Mezcal, birch liqueur pink peppercorn honey, egg white, fresh lime, eucalyptus, acorn — this is not the kind of description you expect to see in the menu of a classic hotel bar, but things have changed. Says Lorincz,

“We’re writing the next chapter of the American Bar’s history.”

Sounds like a must-visit. I’m waiting for my invitation, Prince.

The pair became engaged earlier this month and will live at Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, where Harry currently lives. The statement from the royal household said,.

Prince Harry has informed Her Majesty The Queen and other close members of his family. Prince Harry has also sought and received the blessing of Ms. Markle’s parents.

#ConDRAGulations!: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is Now Worth $100 Billion (He Made $2.4 Billion on Black Friday Alone!)

So, how was your Friday? Did you shop on Amazon? If so, conDRAGulations, you helped make Jeff Bezos the $100 billion man.

Bezos is the founder and largest shareholder of Amazon. He reached the milestone for the first time, according to Bloomberg.

Amazon stock climbed 2.5% on Friday to put Bezos over the top. The stock got a lift from reports that online shopping on Thanksgiving and Black Friday jumped 18% over last year. (Yes, Bezos made almost $2.4 billion on Friday alone!)

Bezos owns 78.9 million shares of Amazon, worth $93.6 billion. That doesn’t account for all his holdings. He owns –The Washington Post and space tourism company Blue Origin.

Amazon shares are up 58% this year, enough to make Bezos richer by about $34 billion. His single-day gain of $2.4 billion would be enough by itself to get him into Forbes’ list of the 1,000 richest people on the planet.

Bezos is the world’s richest person surpassing passed Bill Gates. The poor Microsoft founder is now worth just $89 billion, according to Forbes and Bloomberg.

#QueerQuote: “Shit is the Tofu of Cursing.” –David Sedaris

Photograph by: © Ingrid Christie, via Steven Barclay Agency

 

I always take David Sedaris’ Christmas collection Holidays On Ice off the Sedaris shelf in my bookcase and casually toss it on the coffee table as part of our tradition. My favorite selection is Dinah The Christmas Whore. It still makes me laugh and cry. I have never heard him read aloud. Friends insist it is the only way to experience Sedaris. Something to look forward to. I like to think that I have not had all my fun yet.

With sardonic wit, Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. He is the master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition, especially apparent in his latest book, Theft By Finding: Diaries (1977-2002) (2017).

Each of his eleven books was a NY Times bestseller. There are over ten million copies of his books in print and they have been translated into 25 languages.

I don’t recall what brought me to buy the hardback copy of Barrel Fever in 1995. I am not an NPR listener (I like my radio to play Rock ‘n’ Roll, please). I do remember that my husband picked it up first and I heard him crying with laughter as he read straight through it: “Really, I believe this is the funniest thing I have ever read… it is called The Santa Land Diaries, and you have to read it right now, this very minute!” We were off and away in Sedaris-land. I bought each of his next books, in hardcover, on the day they came out; I would dog-ear his pieces in The New Yorker, and I would extend my love if David to his partner, Hugh Hamrick, and his insanely funny sister, Amy Sedaris.

Whether recalling his high school days in Raleigh, North Carolina, or wandering the world from Normandy to Japan with Hugh, he always seems to be able to find a unique voice to the absurdities of life. What is remarkable is his ability to find the humor in situations that are sad, bizarre and tragic.

“My hands tend to be full enough dealing with people who hate me for who I am. Concentrate too hard on the millions of people who hate you for what you are and you’re likely to turn into one of those unkempt, sloppy dressers who sag beneath the weight of the 200 political buttons they wear pinned to their coats and knapsacks.”

KIRO News

A naked couple, having sex in their car while their baby was in the back seat, crashed while driving, the Washington State Patrol reports.

The man was driving on Highway 7 near La Grande, naked and having sex with a woman who also was naked, when he missed a curve, went off the road and struck a tree, according to Brooke Bova, State Patrol spokesperson.

Witnesses told troopers both the man and woman were naked when they got out of the car, The Everett Herald reported. Troopers said they were also both impaired.

The woman wasn’t wearing a seat belt. She was taken to the hospital with several broken bones. The 3-month-old child in the backseat was not injured.

The man was arrested and booked into Pierce County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence, vehicular assault and child endangerment.

Troopers said the man has three prior DUI convictions.

Straight people; what can you do?

The Problem with Meghan’s Future Title (SPOILER ALERT: She Won’t Be a Royal Highness… Just Yet)

0
0

As has been reported, the gorgeous Meghan Markle will officially join the Royal Family next spring when she marries ginger dreamboat Prince Harry (currently 5th in line to the British Throne)… but there’s a bit problem when it comes to giving her a royal title. Meghan is, of course, an American citizen and British protocol dictates that you have to live in England for five years in order to become a British citizen. And here’s the rub: Only citizens can use a royal title.

via TMZ:

It’s unclear if Meghan can short-circuit the process. It’s gotta be helpful she has the Queen’s blessing in marrying Harry.

When she does get the title, she will probably become a duchess, like her soon-to-be in-law, Kate Middleton. The rumor is … Harry will become the Duke of Sussex, and she would become the Duchess of Sussex.

And finally, check this out … if Meghan has to wait 5 years before becoming a British citizen and before that happens she has a child, that kid will get dual citizenship. If for some reason that child ascends to the throne, it would be the first monarch in British history to be both a U.S. and British citizen..

Hmmm. Did the Greek-born Prince Phillip wait five years to become a prince after marrying the Queen? I don’t remember.

Anyway, it’s all fascinating royal minutia, and I’m sure we’ll be dissecting

Adorable “Beer Plugs” (Not What You Think!)

Photo via CP&B Copenhagen

Ragnarock, the Danish Museum for Pop, Rock and Youth Culture is a national, culture contemporary museum focusing on music and youth culture. The Copenhagen site explores the development of youth culture, told by the sound, the images and the symbols of Rock and Pop Music. The museum celebrates the young people who have moved boundaries through music, and how they have affected society through new dance forms, consumption habits, political views, style, use of music players and new technologies. The museum is a collaboration between Tuborg Beer and RomuDK.

Ever since the 1950s,  young people have expressed themselves through Rock and Pop music in its many genres. Music is the strongest cultural movement in the 20th and 21st century. Most people understand that loud music will permanently damage your hearing, yet few people know that loud music also plays a role in making you drink more, faster. So even if you attend a music festival and promise yourself to not drink too much, you still end up doing the complete opposite without even realizing it.

In a study conducted in France, loud music contributed to the pace and volume of alcohol consumed. By increasing music levels from moderate (72dB) to loud (88dB), the time it took drinkers to consume an 8 oz. glass of beer decreased by more than three minutes and the number of drinks ordered during the experiment rose from two beers to four beers.

To help attendees at concerts and festivals, the Danish beer brand Tuborg gives away Beer Plugs: adorable ear plugs that come in the shape of two foamy beers. You can pick them up at the museum’s gift shop. Ad agency CP&B Copenhagen gave them the clever name and packaging.

James Cameron Gives Definitive Answer Why Jack Couldn’t Climb onto the Damned Door and LIVE

0

It seems like we’ve been having this argument every few months for the past 20 years: Why the hell was Rose so selfish that she couldn’t at least TRY to scootch over and let Jack scramble onto the door and get out of the 28 degree water and LIVE. As Jezebel points out, young Leonardo diCaprio was still a wee bit of a thing in 1997, he would’t have taken up much room. He could have huddled quietly in a corner, not upsetting the balance at ALL. But no. He slipped into the icy abyss after just a few minutes, while Rose got to float to safety and move on to a life of flying airplanes and having babies and tossing priceless jewels into the damn ocean for no good reason.

Now prickly director James Cameron addresses the controversy in an interview with Vanity Fair, definitively putting this question to rest with this annoyingly irrefutable bit of logic: Jack died because the script said so.

“And the answer is very simple because it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies. Very simple… Obviously it was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him… I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless… The film is about death and separation; he had to die. So whether it was that, or whether a smoke stack fell on him, he was going down. It’s called art, things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.”

Um, OK. “Artistic” not “physics reasons.” Gotcha. He went on to say:

“I was in the water with the piece of wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant enough so that it would support one person with full free-board, meaning that she wasn’t immersed at all in the 28 degree water so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there. [Jack] didn’t know that she was gonna get picked up by a lifeboat an hour later; he was dead anyway. And we very, very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time, and still do, that that’s what it would have taken for one person to survive.”

So there. Case closed.

#WTF?!: Trump Calls Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” at WH Ceremony Honoring Navajo War Veterans

0

Yes, Trump is a real POS with no respect for anyone or anything. Today at a White House ceremony honoring Navajo war veterans today, Trump revived his attacks on Senator Elizabeth Warren, calling her “Pocahontas.”

I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although, we have a representative in Congress who has been here a long time… longer than you — they call her Pocahontas!

Trump then turned to put his hand on the shoulder of a man behind him, adding,

But you know what, I like you. You are special people.

Trump also referred to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly repeatedly as “the chief,” meaning the leader of a group of Native Americans.

His remarks were met with an icy silence from the Native American veterans. Warren told MSNBC.

It is deeply unfortunate that the President of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur.

Warren told NPR,

I am very proud of my heritage. These are my family stories. This is what my brothers and I were told by my mom and my dad, my mammaw and my pappaw. This is our lives. And I’m very proud of it.

This all took place under a portrait of Trump’s favorite past president, Andrew Jackson who is best known for being a racist responsible for the genocide of thousands of Native Americans; his nickname was “Indian killer.”

One year after becoming President, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act ejecting 46,000 indigenous people from their homes.

This is like honoring the Dalai Lama under a Warhol painting of Chairman Mao.

We apologize for him. To quote our Secretary of State,

He’s a fucking moron.

About:

 

“The first time I saw a drag queen, during my first trip to the gay club, I initially did not understand that she was a guy…and then when I realized, I was in great ecstasy! Two years later, I decided to try it too and I really liked it! I’m interested in embodying something beautiful, to sew beautiful costumes, to dance. I’m inspired by many drag queens from abroad, such as RuPaulAquaria, Art Simone, etc.”
