Jen Psaki: Tennessee Republicans gave expelled lawmakers ‘a much bigger megaphone’

Published

on



Jen Psaki discusses her takeaways from Tennessee Republicans expelling two lawmakers for joining a gun violence protest on the House floor in the wake of the Nashville shooting. Psaki says, “What we saw from Republicans in Tennessee this week was fear– fear that the outrage over gun violence might put some pressure on them to actually do something. Or at least make it harder to do absolutely nothing.”

    Why do Jen hv to mentioned their race in this message? So if instead it was 2 white men thats expelled, would you say "2 white men"? The message is about gun legislation which is the whole gist, not race!!

    Why can’t we just make it harder to buy ammo and charge the gun owners who don’t be responsible for storing their ammo. If you go to work lock up the ammo and take the key with you.

    They just got taught a lesson about decorum, and how to act like members of the Tennessee House, not back on the block talking to their friends. I'm sure the lesson will stick and they will learn how to act with the other members. If they want to help their voters you must have the other members on your side, otherwise your just taking up space and getting nothing accomplished.

    Jen you did a crummy job on the interview with Pearson. You should have thrown all the pros and cons to him, not showing your biasness. The guy is a smart politician and would have done a great job in the discussion. You made it too easy. You should have allowed him to defend prohibiting assault rifles, not you as the interviewer. You were an assistant to his position. If the fake news media would just figure out that the minute they jump in on one side, they no longer become unbiased news commentators I can see where the dumb interviewees may need help, but not smart guys like Pearson. Bad MSNBC. She is only a little bit better than Don Lemon.

    ninja (忍者, Japanese pronunciation: [ɲiꜜɲdʑa]) or shinobi (忍び, [ɕinobi]) was a covert agent, mercenary, or guerrilla warfare expert in feudal Japan. The functions of a ninja included siege and infiltration, ambush, reconnaissance, espionage, deception, and later bodyguarding and their fighting skills in martial arts, including ninjutsu.[1] Their covert methods of waging irregular warfare were deemed dishonorable and beneath the honor of the samurai.[2] Though shinobi proper, as specially trained warriors, spies, and mercenaries, appeared in the 15th century during the Sengoku period,[3] antecedents may have existed as early as the 12th century.[4][5]

    In the unrest of the Sengoku period, jizamurai families, that is, elite peasant-warriors, in Iga Province and the adjacent Kōka District formed ikki – "revolts" or "leagues" – as a means of self-defense. They became known for their military activities in the nearby regions and sold their services as mercenaries and spies. It is from these areas that much of the knowledge regarding the ninja is drawn. Following the unification of Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate in the 17th century, the ninja faded into obscurity.[6] A number of shinobi manuals, often based on Chinese military philosophy, were written in the 17th and 18th centuries, most notably the Bansenshūkai (1676).[7]

    By the time of the Meiji Restoration (1868), shinobi had become a topic of popular imagination and mystery in Japan. Ninja figured prominently in legend and folklore, where they were associated with legendary abilities such as invisibility, walking on water and control over natural elements. Much of their perception in popular culture is based on such legends and folklore, as opposed to the covert actors of the Sengoku period.

    Etymology

    The word "ninja" in kanji script
    Ninja is the on'yomi (Early Middle Chinese–influenced) reading of the two kanji "忍者". In the native kun'yomi reading, it is pronounced shinobi, a shortened form of shinobi-no-mono (忍びの者).[8]

    The word shinobi appears in the written record as far back as the late 8th century in poems in the Man'yōshū.[9][10] The underlying connotation of shinobi (忍) means "to steal away; to hide" and—by extension—"to forbear", hence its association with stealth and invisibility. Mono (者) means "a person".

    Historically, the word ninja was not in common use, and a variety of regional colloquialisms evolved to describe what would later be dubbed ninja. Along with shinobi, these include monomi ("one who sees"), nokizaru ("macaque on the roof"), rappa ("ruffian"), kusa ("grass") and Iga-mono ("one from Iga").[6] In historical documents, shinobi is almost always used.

    Kunoichi (くノ一)is, originally, an argot which means "woman";[11]: p168  it supposedly comes from the characters くノ一 (respectively hiragana ku, katakana no and kanji ichi), which make up the three strokes that form the kanji for "woman" (女).[11]: p168  In fiction written in the modern era kunoichi means "female ninja".[11]: p167 

    In the Western world, the word ninja became more prevalent than shinobi in the post–World War II culture, possibly because it was more comfortable for Western speakers.[12] In English, the plural of ninja can be either unchanged as ninja, reflecting the Japanese language's lack of grammatical number, or the regular English plural ninjas.[13]

    I wonder what the reaction would've been if Marjory Taylor Green lead a protest onto the house floor.
    HEADS would Fkin EXPLODE!
    Most likely yours… the person reading this.
    What would you call "Taking over a house of Democracy"?
    Mmmm…. Insurrection

    "A country that was built on a protest." The difference being that those protesting at that time were white.

Sen. Murphy: Proposed Relief Bill ‘Could Get Us Through What Could Be A Very Hard And Deadly Winter’

Published

on

By



Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the proposal of a $908 billion COVID relief bill by a bipartisan group of senators as 14 million Americans could lose unemployment aid by the end of December. Sen. Murphy says, “This amount of money could get us through what could be a very hard and deadly winter. This isn’t big enough to be able to get us to the point where the entire country is vaccinated. But it might be enough to make sure that millions of Americans don’t go hungry, don’t starve, don’t die out on the streets this winter when their jobless benefits expire and when protections for evictions expire.” Aired on 12/01/2020.

‘ERODING our democracy’: Morning Joe reacts to SHOCKING NYT Editorial on Trump’s election meddling

Published

on

By



The New York Times editorial board is out with a new series tracking 12 categories of democratic erosion in the United States, highlighting the “worrisome steps” it says President Trump has taken toward undermining American democracy. Measuring on a scale from zero to 10 — with zero representing a strong, though imperfect, democracy and 10 representing a true autocracy — the board has moved one category, “manipulating the law to stay in power,” up to Level 3. The Morning Joe panel breaks down the ominous warnings from the piece as the country heads toward the November midterms and the 2028 election.
