Between the Lines: Same Shit, Different Week
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Mon, 12/04/2017 - 2:56amWelcome to Between the Lines, where, just like that jerk in the front row of a magic show who won't stop pointing out how they do the tricks, I take a look at the Army's propaganda and do my level best to figure out where they're hiding the rabbit.
How do you spell 'Rat Bastard'? O-R-R-I-N H-A-T-C-H
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Sun, 12/03/2017 - 9:29pmFall out from the Tax "Reform" Act of 2017 has already begun. The first mouth piece defending the defunding is a certified Raging Rodent, from the Beehive State (which will soon have to change it name, thanks Monsanto). Let me introduce you to a man dedicated to trickle down morality (a little of his "morality" trickles down his leg after each urinary discharge): O-R-R-I-N H-A-T-C-H
Here he is in all his hypocritical putrescence, O-R-R-I-N "I once was a janitor" H-A-T-C-H
Earth's Climate is a State Machine
Submitted by The Wizard on Sun, 12/03/2017 - 8:20pmThe Earth's current Climate State is a function of its past state, its current physical state and its current biological state and positive and negative feedbacks. Our engineers here probably understand this right away and the light bulb just went on. For the rest of this community I am going to spell it, and try to not use any formulas. The result of this is an understandable model that explains where we are, where we are going (not good) and what options we have to change this.
"Democrats are throwing in the towel on collusion"

Media Hypocrisy in Taxing Times
I don't know why I'm amazed that the tax bill passed...but I am. What a blatant grab for ever more money by the capitalist ruling class. Are we so blind? Or is it apathy and acceptance of our corporate overlords? I don't know. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it is all about misinformation and distraction. Just as the media hyped ole “tiny hands” allowing him to call in interviews with soft ball questions (especially before his nomination), they are silent about the tax cuts which benefit the owners of big media. Meanwhile corporate media continues their silence as RT has to register as a foreign agent and has lost their congressional passes so they can't cover Capital Hill. Then more silence about Yemen, Israel's regular bombing in Syria, and the election fraud in Honduras. Perhaps Rex T.'s departure from the State department spells an impending war with Iran. Oh my, these are taxing times.

The Democratic mentality today
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sat, 12/02/2017 - 5:04pmOkay, so the Dems lost more than 900 legislative seats under Obama. What, pray tell, is the Democratic Party mentality today? Are they doing serious soul-searching to figure out what went wrong? Have they decided to restructure the party to create a lean, mean fighting machine, ready for victory in 2018 and 2020?
It's more like this:
