Bataille's concept of sovereignty as it relates to the part maudite
For Georges Bataille, sovereignty is not a legal or political authority, but a radical, anti-utilitarian state of being characterized by freedom, play, and loss. It is defined in opposition to the modern world of work, where life is reduced to a series of means-to-an-end.
The General Economy and 'La Part Maudite'
In The Accursed Share (La Part Maudite), Bataille argues that the universe operates on a "general economy" of overflowing energy. Driven by the sun, life produces an inevitable surplus of energy that must be expelled. Because this excess cannot be fully absorbed by productive growth or reproduction, it becomes an "accursed share"—a surplus destined for waste.
Sovereignty Through Loss
Societies and organisms process this unavoidable excess through either productive expansion (war, colonization) or non-productive expenditure (luxury, sacrifice, art, and eroticism). Sovereignty is achieved only when we embrace the latter. To be sovereign means to exist beyond utility, necessity, and the fear of death. While a "servile" life is entirely dedicated to work, survival, and accumulation, the sovereign individual or society actively asserts its freedom by lavishly and unproductively wasting their excess energy in the "miraculous reign of unknowing".
Key Mechanics of Bataille’s Sovereignty
Bataille explored how this concept manifested historically and anthropologically:
- Sacrifice: The deliberate, symbolic destruction of life or wealth, best exemplified by the Aztec sacrifices or Native American potlatch ceremonies. These acts waste the accursed share to achieve a transcendent, spiritual connection with the sacred.
- Unproductive Expenditure: The pursuit of luxury, art, and eroticism. Because the ultimate end of all "utility" is uselessness, engaging in purposeless spending is the ultimate realization of freedom.
For further reading on how Bataille contrasts "general economy" with modern capitalism, you can explore the full text of The Accursed Share.
Real Sovereignty Disdains Rational Utility!

A Left/ Domestic Equivalent USAID: "Capacity Building" Woke Dissent - Billionaire Philanthropy (Philanthrocapitalism)
The Democracy Alliance, the Clinton Foundation,
Warren Buffet's son's NoVo,
& The Soros' Open Society Foundations
(and many others, Tides, Ford, Rockefeller, etc.)
Imagine being able to have financial leverage/ control of all the organized political dissent in a nation via Soros Realism... the ability to financially appoint and veto (via grants) the dissenter's leaders (ie - BLM) and to send rioters into the streets whenever a government fails to do your bidding...
Don't Directly Rent-a-Riot (It's too traceable) Put YOUR Riots on an Indirect Tax-Free Philanthropic Retainer (It's Completely Untraceable)
from Google AI:Philanthropic funding from Western organizations plays a thoroughly documented role in the civil society infrastructure leading up to "color revolutions," including Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2013–2014 Euromaidan movement. However, the exact nature of this financing, its objectives, and its level of control over the actual street protests are viewed through vastly different lenses by political scientists, Western donors, and targeted governments. [1, 2, 3, 4]
1. What Philanthropic Organizations Actually FundPrivate philanthropic networks, most notably George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (operating in Ukraine through the International Renaissance Foundation since 1990), do not directly finance street protests, barricades, or weapons. Instead, their multi-million dollar budgets are funneled into building pro-democratic civil society infrastructure over decades: [1, 2, 3]
- Independent Journalism: Funding investigative news outlets and television stations to counter state-controlled media monopolies. [1]
- Election Monitoring: Supporting local watchdog groups that conduct parallel vote tabulations and exit polling to expose electoral fraud. [1]
- Legal and Civic Training: Providing grants to human rights NGOs, anti-corruption legal clinics, and youth-led groups to teach tactics of non-violent civil disobedience. [1, 2]
When massive public outrage sparks a movement like Euromaidan—originally triggered by President Viktor Yanukovych back-tracking on a trade agreement with the European Union—the groups that organize the logistics often rely on the operational capacity built by years of this funding. [1, 2]2. The Geopolitical and Academic DebateThe intersection of Western philanthropy and mass uprisings is interpreted through two primary narratives:
Legislative BacklashBecause these organizations successfully built the infrastructure that preceded transitions of power, several governments began viewing foreign philanthropy as a national security threat rather than charity. This directly led to: [1]
- "Foreign Agent" Laws: Countries like Russia, Hungary, and Georgia passed laws heavily restricting or banning foreign-funded NGOs to prevent future color revolutions.
- Expulsions: The Open Society Foundations and similar organizations were entirely banned from operating in Russia and several post-Soviet states under "undesirable organization" statutes.
Ultimately, while philanthropic organizations provide the financial backbone for the civic networks, independent media, and legal watchdogs that make large-scale mobilization possible, whether that is viewed as democratic empowerment or external subversion depends entirely on the political perspective

What is wrong with the Democrat party that they all seem to be carrying Mental Illness?
Do They All Live in a Trailer Park, or Prison, or in a Mental Hospital ? Because they all seem to be Demented, Communist, Asshole, Psychopaths because I’m just not sure why they seem to love Islam so much? But Democrats support the entire Trans mess, they support screwed up men competing in women's sports and pretending these screwed up Men even believe that Men Can Be Women .
All you lying, and demented Progressive hypocrite, stand up for the Iranians
Iran has never had a Nuke and never wanted one as the agreement crafted by President Obama who gifted them with Billions of Dollars.
Xi Jinping was caught on camera looking baffled after President Trump joked about looking ´nice and handsome and thin´ during the summit in Beijing f. The President made the quip as the pair sat down with their aides for a working lunch As the men approached the table Trump turned to waiting photographers and asked: ´Getting a good picture everybody? So we look nice and handsome and thin and perfect?´ The camera then pans around to President Xi Jinping standing at the other side of the table with a blank look on his face.
The 2 most powerful men are meeting face to face and hopefully something positive can come out from this summit.
One of the darkest stains on the worlds history remains its handling of the Holocaust during World War II. Historians have long criticized the paper for downplaying the systematic extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany. Reports of mass killings were often buried deep inside the publication instead of appearing prominently on the front page where they belonged.
Millions were dying, yet the paper of record frequently treated the destruction of European Jewry as secondary news. Critics argue this was not merely bad judgment but a catastrophic editorial failure. When newspapers minimize evil in real time, they shape public awareness, political urgency, and historical memory. The consequences can be devastating. That legacy continues to shadow the paper because it established a disturbing precedent: ideological comfort and institutional caution taking priority over moral clarity.
Everyone was stunned, even her hard-core Trump haters were stunned. But it illustrates, the mind of a Leftist which is a world full of victims and victimizers as each must be assigned a role, and it also illustrates why many on the Left are Jew haters like Whoopie. It is the mind set that you either need to be punished, or you need the government and society to help recompensate you because they owe you reparations of some sort. They then come up with a myriad of conspiracy theories about how the Jew and/or the White man is holding them back. They look to statistics that show, for example, how Whites and Jews are upwardly on the socioeconomic scale compared to Blacks as they all scream institutional racism. In fact, you can have a Black man die at the hands of the police, with Black police officers, a Black police chief, Black city council members, a Black governor, and a Black President, and still declare the fact that the man died in police custody as being institutional racism. It's as if having Blacks in positions of power means absolutely nothing, yet the conspiracy theories never abate
Even as I write this reconciliation of history, there still are these sick individuals in the world of the Americans of the Progressive party today who are so Sick that they have instilled in their minds that they Hate the Jews, Why? Because they read some stupid and INSANE reason why they should!
But I think the best example was the fate of Charlie Kirk. Here the assassin wrote "fascist" on the bullet casings and had a trans connection as the Jew haters blamed the Jews for the act. But it was not simply the act itself that we saw of an assassination. It was the response to it as Leftists all around the country got on social media and celebrated the fact that he got his head blown off as many lost their jobs because of their insane hate filled rants. Then they desecrated his memorials as many were arrested. So, you can never convince me that Charlie was gunned down by Israel, because the Left showed us that it was really them all along, just like they tried to gun down Trump, Kavanaugh, and the entire GOP Congress. No, Israel was not responsible for that either. Or how about the Left wing loon that wrote fascist on his bullet casings as he tried to gun down ICE? It's just more of the same, yet I'm supposed to believe it was Charlie as these loons then accuse his widow of participating in the death of her husband, along with his friends?
The Boy with the Nazi Tattoo is in deep trouble again. The Democrats are certainly picking some real losers to run for office these days. This guy is just toxic.
As the wife of the Maine Democratic Senate candidate told the campaign about texts she had found between Graham Platner and other women
If the Left wing loons don't have a problem with voting for an open Nazi why would they care about his sexual deviance that is probably not as bad as their own?
Graham Platner's a Super Creep. A Real Loser. Weird. Sick. Nasty. A real Asshole. Perverted.
He’s just a perfect Democrat, in other words!.
Just as I thought they would, the FBI tracked down and arrested that NJ agitator who threatened to kill an ICE Officer and his wife and his kids!
An update out of New Jersey following a Rioter’s Death Threats to an Ice Officer and His “Whole F*cking Family” boiled down to two words from acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
As the standard operating procedure of the Left seen played out again and again, Violent Antagonists have persisted for more than a week with harassment and rioting outside the Delaney Hall U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Newark, New Jersey, while local and state law enforcement assistance was, at best, kept to a minimum.
Wednesday night, footage emerged of a man saying, or should I say “Screaming” to be one Nicholas Scelfo who allegedly threatening to Murder an ICE officer and his whole family, which had Blanche promising “We Will Find Him.” We Have His Picture, and We Will Find Him!As of Friday night, and as promised, they found the acting top cop reported, “We Told you. Party's Over!”
I SAY, THROW THE BOOK AT HIM AND MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM.
DENY HIM MEDICAL ATTENTION, AND THROW HIM IN THE DARKEST HOLE YOU CAN FIND.
Everyone Has a Right to a Trial, - Not Just Your Fellow Disgusting, Violent, SkUMMY Criminal, Idiot, Treasonous, Nit Witty, Filthy, Wretched, Rotten, Crummy Leftists.
The Second He Interfered with the Ice Agents He Crossed Over into Being a Violent Felon.
Think about it. If Kamala Harris had won, We would not be paying $5.00 a gallon for gas, and twe’d have 10 million more illegal voters for the next election. And Iran would have the Nuclear Bomb that they always wanted.
A little not very fun fact about holocaust education.
Did you know 1 in 5 people globally have never heard of the holocaust? That’s about one billion people.
To put this into perspective: the amount of people in the world who don’t know anything about the holocaust is 67x more than the world Jewish population.
Take what you want with that & just know when we get upset with people manipulating/ inverting or universalizing our history, there is good reason behind it.
No.
I am as embarrassed and disgusted at the fact that these idiotic bleeding heart Progressives need to re-post those stupid, UN-FACTUAL, un-true, and VILE, Photoshopped pictures with those idiotic lying captions just to belittle, denigrate, and discredit our President. I would have assumed that these idiots would have left the country by now, as they said they would.

And by the way. President Trump is beating their asses and trolling their whiny libtards daily and I love it! President Trump plays these Progressive fools like the adolescent incompetent pukes that they are. And Just Remember, "It's not WHO votes that determines the results of an election, but who COUNTS the votes."
The leftist establishment in California is so hideously corrupt, it is perfectly capable of cheating, lying, stealing, suppressing, intimidating, misrepresenting, and possibly even KILLING to obtain victory.
For the record, my "no" is if I understand your conclusion correctly. I don't know that I do. But it seems you are saying compassion, charity, empathy and helping people is all bad. Which is a worldview I completely disagree with. I don't think you posted the cartoon because you agree with it and have now embraced communism.
Yes, Illegal aliens are criminals. Whether they crossed the border or overstayed a visa, they are the worst of the worst. They have no rights. And they need to be rounded up and arrested. And/ or thrown out of this Country. PERIOD
For the record, nobody cares!
Right. You don't care about the subject the blog host chose to post about and nobody does. I can see that, given that I'm the only person who replied to the post. You think telling the blog author (in essence) to f*ck off with his post will get you brownie points? FYI, I don't care that you don't care. And I think the blog author does care. So, not nobody.
These claims are 100 percent false.
This comment is complete BS. People in the United States have Constitutional rights. Even if they are in the country illegally. That you (wrongly) believe otherwise doesn't change reality. It only proves how stupid you are.
I have no idea what the intent of the post you responded to was.
My assumption is always the opposite of yours. I tend to interpret the post "charitably", even yours.
The rights of citizens are always greater than the rights of non-citizens. That's why they can be deported with impunity using legal procedures other than those afforded citizens.
ie - evidentiary standards.
Google AI:
U.S. citizens cannot be deported and hold a constitutional right to remain. Non-citizens in removal proceedings lack this fundamental right and face varying burdens of proof depending on their legal status and whether they are attempting to enter the country or are already residing within it.
The specific evidentiary standards and burdens of proof break down as follows:
1. U.S. Citizens
Deportation Standard: Citizens are completely immune to deportation.
Burden of Proof: The government bears the initial burden to prove a person is a non-citizen (known as proving alienage). Once a person presents credible evidence of U.S. citizenship (such as a valid U.S. passport), the government's burden becomes incredibly strict and it generally cannot initiate removal proceedings.
2. Non-Citizens Already Admitted (e.g., Green Card Holders / LPRs)
Deportation Standard: The government can only deport non-citizens if they violate specific provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Burden of Proof: Clear and convincing evidence. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bears the burden to prove removability. They must show by clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence that the individual is deportable (e.g., through a disqualifying criminal conviction).
3. Non-Citizens Applying for Admission (Undocumented or Uninspected)
Deportation Standard: Individuals present in the country without lawful admission can be expelled.
Burden of Proof: Clearly and beyond doubt. Unlike citizens or lawful residents, the non-citizen bears the burden of proof to show they are not inadmissible. They must prove they are clearly and beyond doubt entitled to be admitted or permitted to remain in the country.
4. Exceptions and Expedited Processes
Expedited Removal: Certain non-citizens apprehended near the border or who have been in the country for a very short period (typically less than 14 days) may be subject to expedited removal. In these cases, there is little to no standard of proof, and individuals are deported without appearing before an immigration judge, unless they express a credible fear of persecution.
Relief Applications: If a non-citizen is applying for a waiver, asylum, or cancellation of removal, the burden of proof shifts to the non-citizen to establish that they meet the statutory requirements for that specific relief.
Minus: The rights of citizens are always greater than the rights of non-citizens.
Sure. But it isn't that citizen have rights and non citizens have no rights. Which Turd-2 clearly thinks is the case. And you likely agree.
Minus: I have no idea what the intent of the post you responded to was.
Translation: You wrote it, but have no idea what you meant. Figures. It was just gibberish then by your own admission.
There is Disgraceful, and Disgusting news out today. It is that NY Citie’s Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants to remove Ed Koch's name from the 59th Street Bridge. Ed Koch is a New York icon who was, and still is Loved by All. Ed Koch was the Mayor who led New York out of its worst ever fiscal crisis ever and revived its spirit. Ed Koch is a New York legend I was always proud to call a real New Yorker.
Zohran Mamdani is a shameful interloper! New Yorker’s must fight back. Save the Ed Koch Bridge. I for one would much rather Get Rid of Zohran Mamdani before I’d see Ed Koch’s removed from Anywhere!
The Bottom line Is: That Zohran Mamdani is NOT good for New York, or for New Yorker’s!
NO! The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders, but what YOU have written u=is PURE Bull-Shit!
I am throughly aware that many of us American people feel frustrated by rising costs of food, of Rents, of Gas, and of the Cost of Living entirely, our concerns about public safety concerns, housing challenges, government inefficiency, political division, or the pace of change, are also a major consern . Regardless of which issues matter most to you, meaningful change begins when citizens participate. Democracy is strongest when people make their voices heard.
But choosing not to vote at all leaves important decisions to others. Voting allows you to support the candidates, initiatives, and policies that best reflect your values and vision for your community. Whether your priorities are economic opportunity, education, public services, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, accountability, or civic reform, your vote is an opportunity to help shape the future. And we certinaly don’t want the “”other Party” to make those very important decisions for us all!
The future of our City, Nation, Our State, and Our Local Communities is not determined by a handful of leaders alone, epically not by the Lefty Communists that have been trying to take over our Great Nation of The United States of America. Plese tell me that is not what you want! . It is influenced by millions of citizens who take the time , and the effort to participate in the democratic process, and keep America strong and not taken over by those that waht to harm us..
The price of Gas, is nothing compared to Iran having the Nukes that they are after.
The Progressive, Communist, and Socialist Democrats and their Radical Islamicists are destroying our beloved nation, state, and city from within, and we just can not afford them to gain even one inch!.
True Democracy depends on participation by us all. Your voice matters as much as the next gus, as long as our elections stay honest . Your vote matters, as much as mine or the next guys . So make it count as much as the next guys!
And your Vote is one of the most powerful ways that we ordinary citizens can influence the policies, of our leaders.
Yeah, but the bozos of brainwashed MAGAtoid DSA prefer their cluelessness and delusions over truth.
Universal Human Rights exceed and take priority over citizenship rights. Period. Full Stop.
Sorry, I though your comment was in response to the comment above. My bad.
I couldn't imagine you dumb enough to try and refute Bataille.
..and compassion, empathy, and helping people is all unproductive, things Bataille would greatly applaud as contributions to the "General" economy.
Communism does none of the above. It's all about "production" of the "bare necessities". Of eeking out a living, not providing luxuries like "compassion" or "empathy" that would "help other people". That's what people WITH a "surplus" do.
Wow, talk about obsessed with polemical absolutes. There's no "meden agan" in you, Derv, just polemical absolute binaries.
He isn't calling immigrants "homo sacer". He isn't saying "just shoot them"! He says, "rounded up, arrested" and given their due process prior to expulsion.
lol! Like "free health care"?
Universal Human Rights are Neoliberal talking point, nothing more.
Inalienable Rights are something else entirely (biological and only indirectly alienable).
"Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills."
- Arthur Schopenhauer
"Inalienable"...
Schopenhauer, "The World as Will and Representation"
Inalienable - Will
Alienable - Representation
I did no refuting. I said your post makes no sense. And it doesn't.
Via Copilot...
🤖His post was incoherent — and that’s not your fault.
Let’s look at what he actually wrote:
Title: “The Self-Enslavement of the Capitalist Miser and His Society-Destroying Fake Philanthropic Liberation”.
👉This sounds like a critique of capitalism.
Body: A giant pasted block of text from Google AI explaining Bataille’s theory of sovereignty.
Conclusion: "Real Sovereignty Disdains Rational Utility! It’s the SuperEgo NOT the Ego!”
👉This conclusion...
Doesn’t follow from the pasted text.
Doesn’t relate to the title.
Doesn’t explain his argument.
Doesn’t connect to capitalism or misers.
Doesn’t explain what “SuperEgo” has to do with anything.
Your confusion was justified.🛑
Except he is skipping due process. And you ignore meden agan. For you enough misery cannot be inflicted upon illegal immigrants, foreigners, and others you disagree with politically. But it can be fun to try.
btw, *I* replied to your post (as confusing as it is) and the reply I got was "For the record, nobody cares!" This was written by a person who had absolutely nothing to say about your topic. I assumed he didn't care about what I wrote and also didn't care about your post. Otherwise he would have said something about it. Your "charitable interpretation" was that he was thinking something about your post but forgot to write it?
You have a problem with Expedited removal Derv? Take it up with your party attacking ICE detention centers.
In the old days they just put them all on a bus to Tijuana.
*I* took it he was referring to YOUR post (nobody cares)
ps - I don't expect AIs to "understand" the post. I expect humans to. Philanthropy is a "productive" endeavor, not an irrational sacrifice (Bataille's topic nof what sovereignty means) The billionaires "accumulate" and their philanthropies continue to "accumulate" How big are the Ford and Rockefeller foundations now? Even Warren Buffet gave all his money to B&MG Foundation to cure the world (productive investments for drug & pharmaceuticals. Bataille's point is to waste it, sacrifice it (but NOT on a war for resource accumulation). If you don't use your surplus, burn it. (Valencia, Fallas, bonfire of the vanities, a tomatino, or a running of the bulls - through your life away... but LIVE in the process).
The Big Question of the Year is: Can The Progressive Communist Democrats Steal Another Election In California?
As of Right Now: here is how it stands:
The Governor’s Race 73.4% (14,525 of 19,788) precincts reporting as of June 2, 2026, 10:06 p.m.
Hilton: 26.8%
Becerra: 25.8%
Steyer: 19.7%
The Mayor’s Race Results as of 6/2/2026 9:33:40 PM.
Pratt: 29.82%
Bass: 36.59%
Raman 20.52%
However In most of the previous election season in California seems to follow the same frustrating script. The polls close, preliminary results roll in, and then the public is told to wait. Days become weeks. Ballots continue to be counted. Margins shift. Narratives change. Voters are left wondering why the nation’s most populous state cannot deliver prompt, definitive results that inspire confidence, as I wonder myself. But Remarkably, and Astonishingly, and even Incredibly it’s the same movie every time. The longer the counting process drags on, the more skepticism grows. Transparency is essential in any democracy, yet prolonged uncertainty creates an environment where rumors, accusations, and partisan finger-pointing thrive. Citizens expect election officials to provide timely, accurate, and verifiable outcomes. Instead, they often receive explanations about procedures, curing ballots, and extended counting periods that leaving many of the people unconvinced
Photos have leaked of Barack Obama's Statue at his Presidential Library, it looks EXACTLY like you'd expect HORRIBLY
He reportedly also requested it be built by a black sculptor — here is how that turned out.
The entire Presidential Center has been a DEI nightmare:
-Gave contracts to "diverse suppliers"
-Hired DEI construction workers
-Costs exploded from $350M to $830M
-Fighting a $40M racial discrimination lawsuit — filed by one of his own DEI hires
You really can’t make this stuff up.
Here We Go Again Folks! : Massive Turn-Outs of Tens of Thousands of LA Votes That Yields ZERO for Spencer Pratt! Come on now, Give us A Break!
The updates from Los Angeles election officials on primary night revealed a statistical impossibility that observers found difficult to believe, and MUCH to difficult to dismiss as routine variance. In the contest for the Mayor, as the share of ballots tallied moved from 39.3 percent to 42.4 percent, incumbent Karen Bass added more than twelve thousand votes to her total, Nithya Raman added nearly ten thousand votes to her total, but Spencer Pratt added none at all. Other candidates continued to accumulate support in the same tranche. Karen Bass must have a hell of a lot of Friends, and Familt voters! Yeah Right! And if you can believe that, I have a Bridge to sell you in Brooklyn!
We know Joe didn't win over Donald Trunp and we know that you don’t Tug on Superman Cape! .The Libs are at it again trying to head off Spencer Pratt. Perhaps an Investigation, this time with some real Consequences.
Do your politicians even care? They cannot even put SAVE Act to a vote though it is extremely popular with voters from both sides. Like they did not defend your border.So Why the hell do we even bother?
One way we know the FIX is in is that Democrats have not changed or moderated one iota from the policies that got them wiped out in 2024. Why change when you know you can RIG and STEAL the elections? But I for one am getting Sick and Tried of this CRAP!
Pratt himself has already filed formal complaints alleging improper electioneering by Bass near ballot drop boxes, underscoring that questions about process have surrounded this race from the outset. A frozen tally for one of the leading contenders only compounds the existing unease.
In other words, it’s pretty much impossible, and yet here we are.
Lets face it: Who the Hell would even think of voting for Bass after what she did during the fires! You'd have to be Crazy!
A batch of THOUSANDS OF VOTES is counted...several percentage points of the vote total...yet all of a sudden Pratt stops getting any votes...NOT A SINGLE VOTE OUT OF THIS HUGE BATCH OF THOUSANDS...ZERO.
Pratt doesn't start getting votes again until his two opponents have it in the bag...
What a shocker. When the Democrats are mad, and arrogant enpigh, in spite of overwhelming voter dissatisfaction you know the Democrats STEAL is locked in.
Not that it mattered to me which of the Democratis BOZOS won, but I believe those buying into Trump's post-election temper tantrum are poor losers. This is another way they get at Trump, and make his supporters lose. .
Spencer Pratt Demands Investigation into Karen Bass for “Flagrant Violations” of Election Laws After Campaign Video Shows Illegal Electioneering
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass’s closest rival in the June 2nd open primary election, has filed a formal complaint with the Los Angeles City Clerk alleging that Bass violated election laws by campaigning near a ballot drop box.
In the complaint, Pratt’s attorney, Peter McNulty, blasted Bass for “flagrantly violat[ing] State of California and City of Los Angeles election laws by engaging in illegal electioneering.”
According to California state law, illegal electioneering is “the visible display or audible dissemination of information that advocates for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot within the 100 foot limit specified in subdivision.” This includes “obstructing access to, loitering near, or disseminating visible or audible electioneering information at vote by mail ballot drop boxes.” The city of Los Angeles has a similar law on the books.
This complaint comes after Bass made a campaign video, allegedly soliciting votes with supporters holding signs within 100 feet of a dropbox, which McNulty describes as “blatant electioneering directly near a polling place and drop box location.
Let this be a lesson learned for all you Puerto Ricans and Latinos as it was to the Jewish people last week, who voted for Zohran Mamdani,. This is a slap in our faces all of us that voted for him. . Since the day of former mayor Ed Koch, we’ve been celebrating the Puerto Rican heritage gala at Gracie Mansion. This is a disgrace by this administration
Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s Democratic seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “SQUAD,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post: How dare he deem a Nazi tattoo disqualifying!
Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts is facing a torrent of backlash from the left for having the audacity to call Maine Dem Senate hopeful Graham Platner’s onetime Nazi tattoo and his excuse about it “disqualifying.”
“I’ve been clear about Graham Platner. I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying,”
Is anyone surprised ! just look at the way the Democratic defended those attacks and discrimination against Jewish students at left wing ivy league schools .. and they are defending the islamofascist state of "Iran" as we speak .. the charge of fascist and Nazi being spouted by the left at their political opponents has been proven to be lies and projection because of their actions .. actions that all can see
Their behavior is par for the course and exactly what we expected. If progressives have done anything in the part two years it is to expose their vile, dark, evil, and shameless souls. The vicious and profane hatred that pours out of their hearts defines them. Don’t expect anything better, they are committed to the rancid path they are on. It’s all hate, all the time. You become their mortal enemy the moment they realize you do not agree with their views and are treated as such. Hate motivates them and will ultimately consume them.
It takes time, but the Progressives and Communist Liberals, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries behavior is par for the course and exactly what we expected. If progressives have done anything in the part two years it is to expose their vile, dark, evil, and shameless souls. The vicious and profane hatred that pours out of their hearts defines them. But Don’t expect anything better, they are committed to the rancid path they are on. It’s all hate, all the time.
A bit of very good humor should never be unwelcome at ANY event no matter how serious it may be.
Good for President Trump!
May his tongue remain firmly planted in his cheek at every available opportuity
DONALD Trump and Xi Jinping is the President of the People's Republic of China historic summit ended with the pair signing an agreement which saw Chinadespot commit to complete denuclearisation. In what looks like a victory for American big-stick diplomacy Xi Jinping agreed to wind down his nuclear ambitions so long as the US promised not to attack his country. Photographs of the agreement signed by both leaders, who have now left Beijing, China, reveal Xi Jinping "reaffirmed his unwavering commitment" to denuclearisation adding the "world will see a major change". The document reads: “President Trump and President Xi Jinping .
So far s good, but it's only a piece of paper. Let's wait a year, or so and see-if-any real action has taken place.
Also, why don't you Progressive Name Callers READ and attempt to DIGEST at least a sampling of the above posted before expressing 0ne of your OBNOXIOUS opinions?
Not at all. Maintaining a healthy OPTIMISM with a strong Trust-But-Verify proviso is the ONLY way we could hope to get any forrader.
President Trump has broken NEW ground in our relations with Chine through his summit with Xi Jinping the President of the People's Republic of China No other Chinese leader has EVER left his country to meet with a western head of state before. Like it or Not that's a VERY big deal.
The ardently unenthusiastic, noncommittal attitude by Nursie Po and his Master David betrays the typical LEFTIST desire always to dismiss, defame, belittle and to denigrate Mr. Trump no matter WHAT.
Minus: *I* took it he was referring to YOUR post (nobody cares)
He was. Except he also said absolutely nothing about your post. Obviously he didn't care enough about what YOU wrote to respond. At least I don't see a reply from him that is about your post. You see one? Maybe in your delusions?

I said *I* didn't understand it. I'm not an AI. But your conclusion probably I didn't understand it because I'm stupid. But the reason really was because it makes no sense. I have used Copilot to explain prior comments and posts of yours. Copilot often says you are misinterpreting the people you quote and reaching wrong conclusions based on your misinterpretations. Though I think it's possible you do this on purpose, in order to co-opt the ideas of people who don't agree with you. Like you do with Jesse Welles. When you insisted that lyrics in one of his songs meant the opposite of what they actually do.
Minus: Philanthropy is a "productive" endeavor, not an irrational sacrifice...
I believe this. But do you? Giving money to improve society doesn't seem like something you would support. However, I would add one major caveat, which is that I do not believe that we should be relying on the largess of rich people to benefit from funding projects that benefit society. We The People should tax wealthy people and use that money to fund the projects. That puts us in control and not the wealthy elites.
Minus: The billionaires "accumulate" and their philanthropies continue to "accumulate" How big are the Ford and Rockefeller foundations now?
So you agree that the billionaires should be heavily taxed?
Minus: Bataille's point is to waste it, sacrifice it (but NOT on a war for resource accumulation).
Maybe on something like USAID? Which did have the benefit of increasing goodwill for the United States abroad. But you'd rather people who benefited from it suffer and die instead.
Minus: if you don't use your surplus, burn it. (Valencia, Fallas, bonfire of the vanities, a tomatino, or a running of the bulls - through your life away... but LIVE in the process).
So (to you) trump's United States Army 250th Anniversary Parade was a good waste of money?
Minus: You have a problem with Expedited removal Derv? Take it up with your party attacking ICE detention centers.
Via the g00gle AI...
🤖Expedited removal is halted if an individual expresses a fear of returning to their home country or an intention to apply for asylum.
In such cases:
The individual is referred to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asylum officer for a "credible fear" interview.
If the individual passes the interview, they are removed from the expedited removal track and placed in standard removal proceedings before an immigration judge.
If they fail the interview, they are ordered removed and deported.🛑
Turd-2 is using expedited removal to deport people without due process when they claim they face persecution/death if returned.
And I will NOT take up imaginary attacks by my party on ICE detention centers. Due to these "attacks" being imaginary. Not that your "logic" makes any sense. If I didn't like expedited removal, wouldn't I take up writing a law to change it with my party? WHY would I ask my party to stop attacking ICE detention centers when they aren't?
Billionaires use philanthropy "instrumentally". I added to the original post to help you understand the fact that your a "tool", not a dissenter. The Left vs Right kayfabe has a purpose... to call you out into the street for a demonstration of the billionaires "power" whenever a billionaire isn't getting his way with the US government.
btw, I think patriotic Americans opposed to fascism need to "attack" (protest outside of) ICE detention centers a lot MORE, and not less (or not at all).
Dissent, both of the Left and Right variety, is "leverage" against the government administration, used to "bend it" to a billionaire or corporation's will.
Tax them more heavily? Why? Philanthropic charities operate TAX FREE. It's kinda the point. You wanna tax 'em? I sure do.
The "mostly peaceful" protests? LOL!
We are Americans! Take Zohran Mamdani and the rest of those terrorists communist ugly asses out of my country! We will celebrate America ‘s Birthday at anytime and at any place and you can stick it where the Sun don’t shine.
Even the LSE agrees with me... "tax the sh*t out of them!"
Minus: The "mostly peaceful" protests? LOL!
Yes, like those protests. You're itching for the Left to get violent so the government can start killing protesters. But they already ARE killing peaceful protesters. They just lie about them being violent. You know this. You went along with the lie that Renee Good tried to ram the ICE murderer with her car.
Minus: Tax them more heavily? Why? Philanthropic charities operate TAX FREE. It's kinda the point. You wanna tax 'em? I sure do.
You do? Then why did you get so bent out of shape in regards to the IRS "targeting" of Conservative Tea Party groups that applied for 501(c)(4) status? You're sure you only want Lefty Philanthropic charities taxed and not conservative ones? Or am I incorrectly remembering that situation and you were FOR these groups being denied the 501(c)(4) status they applied for (and received)?
From what I hear Zohran Mamdani is doing a great job as NY mayor and people are very happy with his job performance.
Especially on Staten Island! :)
So which philanthropists are providing catering for the protestors this week, Derv? I hear that during Maidan, Susan Rice used to serve coffee and donuts to all the Right-wing Nazi's on the protest lines in Kyiv.
Taxing Tea Party Groups would have been fine with me, if they had also been taxing Progressive activist groups as well. But the IRS was weapoinized to only tax Republican 501s. But they only denied tax exemptions to groups like "liberty" or "tea party" in their names....
Kamala would have bunker-busted their nuclear sites? Who knew?
Really, really enjoying the MAGAt horde of trump worshipping imbeciles expose themselves as the conditioned sheeple that they are.
Minus: So which philanthropists are providing catering for the protestors this week, Derv?
None.
Via Copilot...
🤖What does show up in videos from ICE protests?
Volunteers handing out water bottles.
Church groups bringing snacks or sandwiches.
Mutual‑aid tables with donated food.
People ordering pizza for the crowd.
These are normal at any long protest — left, right, immigration, anti‑immigration, labor, pro‑police, anti‑police.
👉But there is no evidence of...
Catering trucks.
Commercial food vendors.
Billionaire‑funded food distribution.
Organized paid food services.
None of that appears in any verified footage.🛑
Minus: But the IRS was weaponized to only tax Republican 501s.
It wasn't. That this happened is 100 percent fake news. What you claim happened flat out simply didn't happen.
Minus: Kamala would have bunker-busted their nuclear sites? Who knew?
She wouldn't have. Your sarcastic "who knew" implies you know that. But you also claimed she would have attacked Iran already (before trump did). So, which is it? You think Kamala Harris would have been dumb enough to attack Iran (as trump has proven himself to be), or not? Because you argued she would have previously. Now you're arguing she wouldn't have done something so stupid. It seems you are unable to make a consistent argument.
Minus: Especially on Staten Island! :)

🤖You cited a Marist Poll... 48% approve. 30% disapprove. 23% unsure.
For a big‑city mayor, that’s a solid rating. Joe didn’t challenge the numbers.
He didn’t challenge the methodology. He didn’t challenge the pollster.
He just threw Staten Island at you because it’s the one borough where a progressive mayor will always poll worse.🛑
aka your comment is BS. In regards to rebutting what I wrote. Because you didn't.
Yes. The Black Lives Matter protests were mostly peaceful. But I thought I already submitted this as a response (in a longer comment). Did it get sent to spam?
When did I ever say that? Stay off the drugs, Derv.

amenities offered delaney anti-ice protestors encampment
The volunteer coalitions and demonstrators gathered outside the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, have set up supply tents to support detainees' families and protestors. Amenities and services at the site include food and beverages, legal aid, social workers, and supplies like electrolytes and protective gear.
These well-stocked coalition tents offer several resources and activities for the demonstrators, the families of the captured, and the broader protest network:
Legal and Family Resources: The tents provide a localized hub for loved ones and families of the detainees to receive food and connect with attorneys and social workers.
Supplies and Logistics: Organizers supply demonstrators with electrolytes, protective elbow and knee pads, and decontamination wipes (such as Sudecon) to neutralize chemical sprays like pepper spray or tear gas.
Recreational and Community Activities: The volunteer area has also functioned as a resting and gathering point equipped with supplies, puzzles, and games for protesters who have maintained a continuous daily presence outside the facility.
Is there a bail fund offered to anti-ICE protestor in Delaney NJ?
Yes. Organizers on the ground have set up mutual aid and legal support networks for individuals arrested during the demonstrations at the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey. These funds provide financial assistance for legal defense, emergency temporary housing, transportation, and commissary needs.
Because the landscape of grassroots legal support is highly decentralized and relies on fluctuating mutual aid networks, specific up-to-date resources and organizing platforms can be verified through local community groups. To connect with mutual aid networks or check for protest-specific support, you can:
Consult the National Bail Fund Network for a comprehensive directory of community-led bail and bond funds.
Follow grassroots organizing platforms such as the Envision Freedom Fund or Make the Road New Jersey for actionable updates and direct support campaign links.
Are any NGO's participating?
Google AI:
Yes, several prominent non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and political advocacy groups are actively participating. Rather than acting as neutral entities, these organizations are providing critical legal backing, public advocacy, and logistical coordination for the ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations at Delaney Hall.
The primary organizations and coalitions involved include:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Jersey:
The ACLU of New Jersey has played a prominent role by publicly condemning the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) response. They are monitoring civil rights violations, tracking retaliation against hunger-striking detainees, and demanding the facility’s closure.
The "Delaney Hall 100" Coalition: Media investigations and local reports have identified a network of roughly 100 progressive NGOs and advocacy groups—including Indivisible and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)—that are coordinating resource networks, legal aid infrastructure, and field support for the demonstrations.
Cosecha / Movimiento Cosecha: This immigrant rights organization has been a central force leading the ground-level mobilization and protests directly outside the facility.
Eyes on ICE NJ: This grassroots monitoring group has maintained a physical vigil at the facility since it reopened, documenting conditions for visiting families and providing logistical aid on the ground.
lol!
The 2020 protests and associated civil unrest resulted in an estimated $1billion to 2billion} in paid insurance claims, according to data from the Insurance Information Institute and the Property Claim Services. This made the events the costliest civil disorder in U.S. insurance history.
While exact, comprehensive nationwide economic impact is challenging to measure, the total monetary cost is widely believed to be higher than the insured estimates when factoring in broader financial losses:
Total Economic Impact: Analysts and economists estimate the overall financial burden—including uninsured property losses, lost tax revenues, security costs, and lost business operations—could push the total economic impact to well over 3billion.
Local Examples: Hard-hit areas experienced concentrated damage. For instance, in Minneapolis alone, property damages to approximately 1,300 damaged or destroyed properties cost roughly $107million, a figure that excluded business inventory loss.
Insurance Limitations: Losses due to civil unrest and rioting are rarely fully covered by standard commercial policies, leaving many small businesses and property owners to absorb the remaining costs.
If you'd like, let me know if you are interested in:
The specific insurance threshold metrics used by the industry
A breakdown of damages in specific cities
The economic recovery initiatives that followed
I can provide more detailed information on those areas.
The borough of SI wants to toss Mamdani out.
Could you please bleat that again, L-l-l-e-s-s-s-s?
@derv - Just restored the 13 items in Spam.
You absolutely did say that. Also, I need to get ON some drugs. I don't currently take any.
93% of Black Lives Matter Protests Have Been Peaceful, New Report Finds.
There were some examples of agent provocateurs infiltrated protests to sow chaos and cause property destruction to make the peaceful protestors look bad.

Yes, several prominent non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and political advocacy groups are actively participating.
And that is dastardly how? I say this is what an organized resistance looks like. American patriots who love democracy aren't rolling over and surrendering to fascism. Why this makes you so angry. As someone who wants fascism, you'd love for the opposition to be disorganized and have no chance of being effective.
I would say the voters made their desires very clear, given that all but 7 percent of the votes went to a non republican candidate. Even donald trump knew the republican had no chance. Why he endorsed Cuomo.
Some seratonin re-uptake inhibitors would help.
lol! NGO's don't make products and earn money. They're funded by philanthro-capitalism... the very billionaires who are exploiting the workers. And why do the billionaires do this? To stir up trouble whenever it's convenient and force the government to submit to you legislative (or legislative relief) demands. The government isn't letting your cheap labour in to undermine wages? Attack an ICE facility...
Who picked the people to run the NGO? Who pays the NGO leaders their salaries? Who ORGANIZED the protest target AND the participation of the groups.
None of this is grass roots activism. It's ALL ASTROTURF! Billionaire funded ASTROTURF, capacity built through years of philanthro-capitalist "capacity building". You really need to watch "framegame's" videos more. But hey, you're a tool who loves being a billionaire sugar-daddy's tool.
So where'd the $3b in property damages come from?
The "agent provocateurs" are Antifa, being run by the FBI. They "police" the crowd, keep them "on message" and generate the propaganda/ public outrage that serve as the excuse to that "forced the government" to fullfill the billionaire-class' will. It's all kayfabe, babe!
Who funds the white supremacists? The SPLC, et al. The very same billionaire philanthro-capitalists.
lol! You mean the Uni-Party (and Trump) conspired against Mamdani? I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you!
Trump DOES make a good "Shooter". Keep up the kayfabe, Derv!
We need to turn UP the kayfabe HEAT!
