    Marc Chagall Blue lovers 1914

    Lovely…
    Chagall was fortunate to live in a time before all the gender confusion/politic/pc terminology/twisted identities/lost souls/and just general stupid human tricks…

    Where did the Amazon burning pic come from? I assume it’s exaggerated otherwise doomsday is upon us.

    “Trump’s Idiotic, Immoral Rhetorical Attack On Denmark (WE)”

    Following from Denmark yesterday, apparently they said, “No thank you, we are siding with Europe, NATO, and your CIA/DS enemies. We will not negotiate.” To which Cheeto says, “Thank you very much for being direct, we will proceed accordingly.” …And that part was public.

    My interest is, so according to media like the Washington Examiner, they were mad that Trump was coming, they don’t like him, and it cost a lot of money and trouble, but they ALSO are mad when he DOESN’T visit, and SAVES them all that money and trouble. Sounds like you just are irrational children who like being mad. …No reflection on the Danes, here, just the reporting.

    And as usual, fact-free reporting, “Washington Examiner, We Make S—t Up™” “in light of insults Trump directed at the Danish prime minister.” Okay, what insults? That’s the “What” in “Who What, Where, When, Why, and sometimes, How.” More arcane, “Trump’s words are also immoral.” How? To say no thank you? Immoral to try to own a ‘continent’ whose major industry is already our military base? Why? Just ‘cause. Orange Man Bad. Meanwhile, as I say every day, Trump is ACTUALLY doing ACTUAL things, like dropping those “beautiful bombs” in 5 nations we have no authority to occupy, supporting tyrrantical regimes killing their own people and the civilians of Yemen, refusing declassification of public documents, dereliction of duty by refusing to prosecute open crimes and sometimes sedition, prosecuting Assange against the 1st Amendment. …But you see, the Media and Washington Examiner LIKE all that stuff. So you have the strange situation of attacking all the things he DIDN’T do, and NOT attacking all the things he DOES do, which are, in fact, impeachable. Okay then. You lose.

    “WHO Claims Microplastics in Water Not Harmful to Humans (G.)”

    This is the same ‘science’ that claims RoundUp is as safe as water. And they wonder why I pick on them and no one believes them anymore. Guess what? You’re now the buffalo rattle shamans on top of the cargo-cult volcano. That’s what happens when you don’t do your job and lie continuously for 40 years, protecting your peers when they fabricate data and let 300 random-word articles get printed in your journals, including a word-swapped “Mein Kampf”. Congratulations, Science, you’re now the joke of planet earth, and rightfully so. Clean up your act.

    I wouldn’t worry though: Nature herself will solve the plastic problem, but you might not like it.

    “The Dog Whistle Heard Around the World (RIA)”

    Now that RussiaRussiaRussia™ is dead (although the NYT takes credit for their awesome, correct reporting), they’ve moved to a more desperate play: “How much would a recession hurt Donald Trump.” Now even before this, Democrat Bill Maher said he’d like a recession that would hurt every worker and brown person in the U.S. from sheer spite, just to unseat Cheeto, despite that it’s super easy and a lot nicer just to win the election like a normal person. But here we are. Recession news everywhere, trying to scare a recession into being. Okay. Well, when the economy dislocates and investment flees to safety it won’t be a good economy – we don’t have a good economy even now – but it will LOOK like one, and the DNC and media will be wrong and look like fools again. TDS. Meanwhile they COULD claim to be for working people, I mean, just lie! Win the election, remain a viable political party and move on. But no. There’s never a worker or brown person they won’t attack. /opinion, and /despair.

    “White House Preps GOP Elite for “Mild Recession” Before Election Day (ZH)”

    Yes, Mnuchin has over-extended the Dow rigging and they need a scare to reset the mechanism. They have 17,000 points of margin to do that. We’re at 26,000, it hasn’t even started, and already rates are lowering and he’s cutting taxes for stimulus. Think he might have this planned into Nov 2020? And that’s above the world crisis he could spark if he wants to flush money into Dow/US$. Hard to say we’re in Recession with a Dow at 40k. (although it’s absolutely possible. We’re in one now at 26k)

    “Johnson Accepts Merkel Challenge to Replace Irish Backstop in 30 Days (Ind.)”

    And if he just does this, what is Merkel going to do, attack and lock out Ireland? I think not.

    “France Dampens Brexit Deal Hopes as Johnson Visits (BBC)”

    The one thing you do see is that Merkel and Macron are both trying to cause as many problems as possible. …For Ireland. Congratulations.

    “More than two-thirds of the UK’s pharmaceutical imports come from the EU.”

    So the EU is planning to have no sales, no revenue, and thus no taxes from pure peevishness? Or do you think they can sell those drugs for profit to the U.K. just like now? Um, probably they can say, as in Idiocracy, “I like money, do you like money? Dude, we should totally hang out.” Or Merkel and Macron could try to kill everyone in Europe that doesn’t slavishly obey, which is much more fun. And people die! So that’s a double win!

    “Like Gibraltar, Greece must stick to EU rules”

    Why? No one else in Europe follows EU rules, ESPECIALLY about Greece. Remember no bailouts, no transfers, and 50 other things? U.N. provisions on torture war crimes? Refugees? There is no law. They do whatever they want. Just like everyone else.

    “MIT Professor Quits in Protest Over Lab Links to Epstein (AFP)”

    So you’re using evil money to do good and you want to stop that? By the way, if you take this posture, you can’t take money from any person who is imperfect or has ever done wrong. …Say from those evil ‘Capitalists’, who ‘extract’ money from workers and pollute the planet. …Or yourself. You’ve helped put microplastics into the environment, haven’t you Mr. Zuckerman? And contributed to offshore oil spill by heating your 2,000sq ft house instead of living under a bridge? Be careful where you start with this.

    “The Amazon is burning.”

    It’s only bad when the OTHER guy cuts HIS trees. When all of Western Europe, England, Connecticut, Maine, Oregon, Vancouver, Alberta, cut their trees to make pallets for Asia, that’s just business you know. A guy’s gotta eat. But when the Amazon, those other guys do it so THEY can eat, well! I never! How dare they eat! I’ve got an idea: start planting and recovering your OWN ecology so you have a leg to stand on before you start preaching about how the other guy needs to take in the shorts so YOU can have the thermostat at 82f, eating jerky on the couch, and watching your 70” TV.

    I’ll be over here eating lozenges talking myself hoarse begging people to plant so much as one apple tree their kids can eat and climb in. No takers, but a lot of guys clear cutting to the lot line and mowing down to bare earth. Later, when we’re in that Depression and your kids are thin, you can think of me.

    Polder Dweller,

    The pic came from somewhere on Twitter, copied it without thinking, but it doesn’t appear to be all that nutty. This is from NASA:

    On that same map from NASA, spinning the globe a bit shows that Africa and Sumatra have a lot of hotspots:
