Matt Gertz at MMFA:

Tucker Carlson has devoted much of his post-Fox News career to solidifying his influence over the GOP.  He used his sway with former President Donald Trump to secure the vice presidential slot for his near-duplicate Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, helped to line up anti-vaccine crusader Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Trump, and addressed the Republican National Convention. But Carlson isn’t just advising the Republican presidential nominee and serving as a GOP kingmaker. He is also hard at work shaping the future of the party by bringing the most deranged, racist, and disreputable people in American politics into the Republican tent. Carlson is building power on the fringes. He is turning a coterie of far-right, conspiracy-minded politicians and commentators — many elevated by Trump himself — into a coherent faction that could further displace the current party establishment and reify the blood-and-soil nationalism and reactionary politics of Carlson and Vance.

[...]

Jones is part of Carlson’s network of crackpots, bigots, and kooks

Carlson is at the center of an anti-Fox, anti-establishment faction of the right-wing media and Republican Party.  Carlson’s tour booked some of the more traditional players in the alliance, including GOP politicians like Vance and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), MAGA strategists like Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and Kevin Roberts, and former Fox personalities like Dan Bongino, Glenn Beck, and Megyn Kelly.  But it also incorporates figures like Jones and Kennedy Jr. who were previously consigned to the fringes of American politics. MAGA keyboard warriors, hardcore bigots, and deranged loons are welcomed on Carlson’s show for cozy interviews that allow them to reach and influence his large online audience. Carlson’s effort to bring extremists into the mainstream right dates back to his time at Fox, when he worked to sanitize fringe figures and launder their views to his audience. But after being forced off the air and hanging out his own shingle, anything even resembling guardrails is off, as a review of his guest list shows.

Former FNC host Tucker Carlson’s far-right tent of influence spans from Alex Jones to J.D. Vance to RFK Jr.

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

I've experimented with being very open and it tends to result in the following outcomes:

1 - people are bewildered and look at you like you are a space alien, there is no socially agreed upon response to openness and people become extremely uncomfortable

2 - people try to imagine what you really mean and look for secret meanings or assume you are lying or dissimulating anyway, often assuming that whatever you really think is something far worse than you are saying

I have ruined relationships and professional opportunities, this method carries significant social costs. This isn't me just being relentlessly negative either, I have experimented with telling people I like them and want to be friends with them, or that I am excited to do something, or whatever, good or bad it does not go well.

There's some kind of finesse to it, there's a way to translate your true self into something that is coherent to people that I haven't quite figured out. I say translating because I think it is like trying to communicate in another person's language; the words, phrases, and sounds necessary to convey the meaning would still convey the meaning.

But I have to qualify all this by reminding everyone that I'm insane, your internal world may well be less shocking to people.

are you ever like damn why is literally everyone else scared of openly communicating and being direct and truthful and honest

Why Trump’s Arlington controversy is actually a crime

John Stoehr

August 30, 2024 5:49AM ET

It’s not a controversy. It’s a crime.

If we don’t say so, we’re complicit.

National Public Radio reported Tuesday that two officials from the Donald Trump campaign assaulted a staff member at Arlington National Cemetery. The staffer tried stopping the former president from filming a campaign advertisment in Section 60. That section is reserved for the men and women who died fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s considered by many Americans to be sacred ground.

Trump was at Arlington Monday for an event marking the third anniversary of an attack on US military forces as they withdrew from Afghanistan. An emerging theme of his presidential campaign is blaming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the 13 Marines who were killed that day by an ISIS suicide bomber outside Kabul Airport.

Later, at the behest of two Gold Star families, Trump attended a separate, private ceremony in Section 60 at the headstones of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover and Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee. That’s when the “altercation” occurred. “When entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside,” according to NPR.

Assault is a crime, but the criming didn’t stop there.

ALSO READ: Trump campaign targets secretary of the Army in its latest attack over Arlington scandal

According to Arlington National Cemetery, it’s against federal law to make campaign advertisements in Section 60. In other words, it’s illegal to turn the honored war dead into disposable partisan props. Put another way, profaning their memory and sacrifice is punishable by law. In a statement to NPR, Arlington National Cemetery said:

“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign.”

In the same statement, Arlington National Cemetery said it “reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

Compounding the offense is the Trump campaign’s reaction.

Spokesman Stephen Cheung accused the cemetery staffer who was trying to uphold federal law of physically blocking “members of President Trump's team during a very solemn ceremony,” even saying the staffer was “clearly suffering from a mental health episode.” Another campaign official called the staffer “a despicable individual.”

Compounding matters more is the treatment of the Gold Star families.

They chose to invite Trump to the memorial, but did they also choose to be complicit in a federal crime? Did the Trump campaign inform them of the law, as Arlington had informed the Trump campaign?

According to Arlington National Cemetery, it informed “all participants.” Were the families led to believe they were merely helping a candidate whom they clearly support? Or were they led to believe law-breaking was fine and dandy as long as they were with Trump?

It gets worse.

The Trump campaign appears to have induced these Gold Star families into issuing a press release in which they thanked Trump and said they authorized his videographer to take photos and video at the ceremony.

There are two problems: One is that permission wasn’t theirs to give. Two is that there’s another headstone in the campaign photo (above). Army Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano, a Green Beret and a Silver Star recipient who served six tours in Afghanistan, is buried next to Hoover. According to reports, his family wasn’t asked for permission.

So not only do these Gold Star families appear complicit in breaking federal law, they appear complicit in gravely offending another Gold Star family whose child loved his country as much as theirs did.

And by inducing these families into issuing their press release, he involved them indirectly in a cover-up of the original crime.

It gets even worse.

The Timesreported that the cemetery staffer who was assaulted for trying, under law, to stop the Trump campaign has decided not to press charges. Why? According to military authorities, the Timessaid, it’s because “she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.”

In other words, she feared political violence.

So, thanks to Trump’s corruption, these Gold Star families now appear complicit in: breaking federal law; gravely offending another Gold Star family; covering up the original crime; and demonstrating the role of political violence in the wholesale degradation of individual liberty and the rule of law.

Their kids died fighting terrorism and terrorism won.

But they are not the only ones complicit.

So are we – if we don’t stand by what we say.

Arlington National Cemetery is operated by the United States Army. It is not a civilian bureaucracy run by a partisan appointee. There’s no “deep state” here. These are people with the deepest feeling imaginable for fidelity and respect. If anything, they’re Trumpsupporters. Yet loyalty to him didn’t override loyalty to the fallen. The obligation to their memory compelled them to oppose Trump’s desecration of it.

If we believe what we say about Arlington National Cemetery, and I think most of us do, there should be no debate over Monday’s events. There should not be “both sides.” This should not be a story about what Trump said versus what Arlington National Cemetery said. The question: shouldn’t be what happened? It should be: who do we believe?

Do we believe Trump, a draftdodger who thinks volunteers for military service are “suckers” and “losers”; who thinks soldiers maimed in combat are embarrassing; who said prisoners of war are unworthy of reverence; who insulted recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor; and who, just yesterday, released an ad using the honored war dead as a disposable campaign prop to attack his opponent?

Or do we believe those trying to keep sacred ground sacred?

As I’m writing, the Post reported that the Army stands by the cemetery staffer who tried stopping the Trump campaign’s criming. The rest of us should stand by her, too. If we believe what we say about Arlington — and our values – there’s no question about what happened.

It’s not a controversy. It’s a crime.

We should say so.

Jenna We got a lot of fan questions about this. People wanted to know if music was really playing or if we had to do that thing where you're dancing to silence. Music was really playing. It was playing low, but we had it so that we could dance to the beat. But there were two rehearsals for this. Our resident choreographer, Marianne Kellogg, came in and she worked with each person on what their dance with Darryl might be. So that was all planned. It wasn't like we just did impromptu moves or anything. Dave said it was actually a fairly complicated scene. It had to be carefully choreographed with camera and with Darryl's movement through the office. He wanted to make sure that everyone was in focus and had their moment. We had a fan catch that I know about from personal experience. It was Kelly Y from Carver, Massachusetts, who said, I have been waiting nine seasons to tell you this background catch that I notice every time I watch this episode. At 17 minutes and 45 seconds, when Jim and Pam are dancing in the background, you can very clearly see John mess up his dance move and mouth the words, Oh (BLEEP). Kelly said, This makes me crack up every time. Kelly, John and I were added to this dance scene at the very last minute. I don't know why, but we had not been at the other rehearsals. And so on the day, we got our dance moves and we were so clumsy and we kept messing up and we were cracking ourselves up because we were like, Why can't we do this simple thing? But this is just such a wonderfully joyous moment in this finale before the finale.

I've been sick and have been binge watching The Office again as a comfort show. And I have been bored, so here's what I think The Office characters designations would be. Any thoughts are very welcome.

Michael: he's a beta that just desperately wants to be a part of the group/pack. I could honestly see a case to be made for him being an alpha but the idea of him having access to any type of alpha command is just....... no

Jan: alpha, and not a good one this lady isn't exactly what I'd call stable.

Holly: alpha, but in the completely opposite way Jan is.

Dwight: an alpha and he takes it very seriously

Jim & Pam: I put them together because I think this is a very beta/beta relationship something about it just feels right

Kelly: this girl is an OMEGA and she is not afraid to use it to get her way.

Ryan: he is a beta that wants to be an alpha so badly

Stanley: omega

Erin: beta

Andy: yah the nard dog is absolutely an omega

Oscar: omega, and no his secondary designation doesn't make it easier for Michael to understand how same sex relationships work he's just as if not more confused.

Gabe: beta

Angela: omega and she'd be obnoxiously conservative about it too, especially to any other omegas she knows of who aren't following traditional roles.

Kevin: beta

Meredith: I'm honestly not sure, I feel like to me she's an alpha but I could also see a case be made for omega as well.

Creed: this guy could honestly be any or none. He's an enigma I could see this going anyway.

Toby: Toby is an alpha and that drives Michael up a wall even more so than he already is with him.

Phyllis: alpha. Bonus Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, is also an alpha.

Darryl: idk what it is about him but in my mind this man is a proud omega

[justanothertheofficeblog]

Since Pennsylvania might play a big part in this presidential election, let's see where (in my opinion only) Dunder Mifflin stands. Feel free to disagree, let's discuss.

Michael - Trump

Dwight - Trump

Jim - Harris

Pam - Harris

Andy - Harris

Phyllis - Trump

Stanley - Harris

Meredith - Harris

Angela - Trump

Oscar - Harris

Kevin - Trump

Toby - Harris

Kelly - Trump

Ryan - Trump

Darryl - Harris

Roy - Trump

Erin - Harris

Jo Bennett - Harris

David Wallace - Trump

Robert California - Trump

Jan - Harris

Creed - Trump

Deangelo Vickers -

Dead heat in my opinion. The wild cards are Kelly, would she just agree with Ryan or make own decision or even vote at all? Might Creed cast a write in vote for himself? Kevin might say one thing but change his mind in the moment. Michael, season 1-4 would vote one way but after that he could go another way. I know I left out a couple people, no reason. But feel to let me know what think about Pete, Clark and Gabe.
