Michael Stuart Kelly Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This tweet from WikiLeaks is so cryptic I don't know what it means. It could be a warning or it could be an inside joke. Or maybe both, or maybe neither. I searched the image and it comes from Infowars. For lack of a better place due to vagueness, I'm putting the thing here in Trump Humor.

After giving it some thought, based on WikiLeaks's behavior of retweets, I think the issue is vanity and nothing more. The WikiLeaks people believe they are knocking out Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump isn't. That's a relief. I have no problem if they wish to think that way, just so long as they keep doing what they're doing. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump haters might like his performance in the same manner that racists like a white man in blackface, bug-eyed, eating watermelon and slurping, but the intelligent humor factor for the rest of us is low. What happened to him? I think Baldwin succeeded at his purpose. Trump likes to give the appearance of glitz, glamour, cleanliness, opulence, etc. Baldwin succeeded at making Trump look piggish, boorish, disgusting, vile. Similar to satirizing kings or royalty to their opposite form. (If I had to classify it, I'd call it Juvenalian.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korben, I don't know what purpose that could be with respect to the public unless it is singing to the choir. It's the kind of mockery only a Trump-hater appreciates. There is no hook for independents or Trump supporters. Like I said, it's like the humor of a Minstrel Show for racists. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorbenDallas Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Juvenalian Juvenalian satire, named for the writings of the Roman satirist Juvenal (late first century – early second century AD), is more contemptuous and abrasive than the Horatian. Juvenal disagreed with the opinions of the public figures and institutions of the Republic and actively attacked them through his literature. "He utilized the satirical tools of exaggeration and parody to make his targets appear monstrous and incompetent" (Podzemny).[32] Juvenal satire follows this same pattern of abrasively ridiculing societal structures. Juvenal also, unlike Horace, attacked public officials and governmental organizations through his satires, regarding their opinions not just as wrong, but as evil. Following in this tradition, Juvenalian satire addresses perceived social evil through scorn, outrage, and savage ridicule. This form is often pessimistic, characterized by the use of irony, sarcasm, moral indignation and personal invective, with less emphasis on humor. Strongly polarized political satire can often be classified as Juvenalian. A Juvenal satirist's goal is generally to provoke some sort of political or societal change because he sees his opponent or object as evil or harmful.[33] A Juvenal satirist mocks "societal structure, power, and civilization" (Thomas)[34] by exaggerating the words or position of his opponent in order to jeopardize their opponent's reputation and/or power. Jonathan Swift has been established as an author who "borrowed heavily from Juvenal's techniques in [his critique] of contemporary English society" (Podzemny).[32] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think there are two kinds of people in the world ... and those who don't. I am one of these kinds of people. I don't try to BlackWhite all opinions of Trump into column Haters and column Right-thinkers. If I weren't one of those kinds of people, I might say something like this: "Trump lovers might dislike Alec Baldwin's SNL Trump performance, on grounds of allegiance. True Trump supporters (lovers) find the SNL sketches of the Presidential Debates unfunny, because ..." Baldwin just ain't funny. He ain't any good. No right-thinking person of elite intelligence and refined humour can find his performance entertaining. It was low, low humour, if it was Trump humour at all. On 10/23/2016 at 11:52 AM, Michael Stuart Kelly said: Your elitism is showing... I should hope so. I have only recently reached Elite Status as beloved-if-warty elder at OL. My opinions are read by handfuls of folks of a Randian bent, scores even, maybe hundreds on a good weekend. My elitism is of course like narcissism, good perhaps only in setting aside nagging self-doubts and buttressing self-esteem. When it slides into amour-propre, it can be nasty. Next year, I am going in for a spot with OL Elite Reason Cheerleaders. My cheering for Reason is pretty clumsy still, unpersuasive. Thank you for pointing out my falls. It hurts a little bit a first, but. Quote Do I think the entirety of the Clinton Body Count is true? No. I think a good portion of it is forced. That was my first think on the Body Count, especially when I read that its first appearance was as an email-chain, and that there had been a similar chain Bush version. Each item on the list deserved a fair-minded analysis, and I was glad somebody got there before I did, and that their analyses were straightforward. Quote Do I think the excessive amount of people who die under mysterious or violent circumstances, or commit suicide, that surround the Clintons (up close) indicate a pattern? Yup. Pattern-matching is an essential part of Reason's Toolkit, but it can never be trusted on its own; Pattern-matching is often primed by expectations, and subject to suggestibility. We can see what is there and then apply an extra layer of ''acuity." Quote (How many people do you know up close who committed suicide or died under mysterious or violent circumstances? Not many, I bet. Nobody else does, either. ) It's a very interesting sort of inquiry. First we have to segment out and inspect "mysterious or violent circumstance." We have to take it 'case by case,' so to speak. Let's say an 'unexpected death' can be mysterious. If it is a crime, a murder, then of course the murder will be a mystery until it is solved. But, let's set aside the blob term mysterious/violent and try to get a scope on folks we know or have known, or were at some point intimately connected with, over the span of say thirty or more years. With the help of archives, vital statistics, media, obituaries, crime reports, Facebook and so on, we can 'track down' let's say The 300. A person like me or Michael, not being public figures, well, we don't generally get any assistance in making deaths among the 300 fungible. How many people among My 300 have died by their own hand during my thirty-forty years of semi-public life? To tell the truth, too many,, far too many. Most due to suicide/accidental overdose. But to get to a good answer for Michael, I have to dig to the same degree of depth and breadth as have 'investigators' into the Bush and Clinton "body counts." So, Michael, I can turn the question over to you. Have you an MSK Body Count? After 40 years or so of life on earth as an adult, how many people have you 'known intimately or closely, or been ''associated with" who might have died under either violent or unknown or unspecified conditions? How many of your underworld associates in Brazil were gunned down and we have never heard about it? Quote [D]o I believe Hillary Clinton is capable of murder to advance her political career? Yup. No doubt in my mind. That is all right. These kinds of things can be like candy; even if we know it is confection, full of butylated hydroxytoluene, sugar, fat, caffeine and nitrogen, we are satisfied. It doesn't raise itself out of the humorous side-notes to the Presidential Ordeal, but. I am going to go do a fortnight's work on compiling the WSS Body Count. It is going to be a bloody bore, as well as sad. The main killer (so far uncovered) was recklessness, hubris, magical thinking and a sweet adolescent kind of despair. The main agent of death was heroin, with booze, cars, smokes and thrills coming dead last. Edited October 24, 2016 by william.scherk I remembered to add "cars" to the WSS Body Count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
