In the music industry, that is called a "Rim Shot".
The steel rim of the snare drum is struck once, and then, in rapid succession, the pigskin snare drum head struck once. That is how the iconic "Ta-Tche" sound is produced.
Many times, it is possible to see that players of drums have mechanical distress on their drumsticks, far away from the tips (as if rodents were involved). This is due to shaft-striking the steel rims of drums as a simple and effective technique of obtaining alternative sounds.
I know this because I am a failure as a musician (my amplifier doesn't go to 11).
It is much easier to produce the Rim Shot sound by only using one's mouth, as while Beat Boxing. More physical coordination is necessary if using actual sticks and pigskin.
And, it is not necessary to purchase equipment of any kind, if you are skillful enough to master the arcane auditory art of Beat Boxing.

The more schist-talk, the quicker they get locked, as gifted amateur-haters like some here, have somehow figured out.
Looking at the last couple of pages of that locked thread (still with 900 posts, so I guess no posts have been deleted), I see:
Speculation that EdwardT is stupid (he’s not a liberal, is he?)
Trump has been confirmed lying about every accusation (every one? really?)
The ship is sinking, the rats are always the first to realize, except maybe Biggie Rat (just to be clear, the Trump admin are rats, and trump is a big rat),
The pee tapes! (is their existence a fact of reality? and why so must interest in them on your part?)
Time for Trumps nap or meds
Bone spur draft dodger has lost it - insanity
The damned white nationalist party (repubs, I think)
The con job of the century
So, why was that thread locked? Who are the amateur-haters spewing their schist talk?

Thanks, Tom. As soon as you said it, I remembered it. But I can drag less and less up from the murky depths of my memory anymore. Sigh
BTW, Mindkiller is an awesome read. Highly recommended.

Measuring a person's effectiveness by measuring the animosity of an opposing group's response is inherently inaccurate.
There is some truth to that correlation, but to primarily rely on an animosity correlation, instead of more direct evidence, is, well,
TRUMPIAN
TRUTH IS NOT TRUTH - Rudy "Fooli" Giuliani
Yale Law School has conferred Fooli Giuliani's Orwellian denial of reality as the "2018 Quote Of The Year".
https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-fg-quotes-of-the-year-20181212-story.html
Last year, that award went to White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway's Orwellian statement, "He was relying on ALTERNATIVE FACTS" when White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer blatantly lied that Trump's inauguration ceremony attendance was the biggest in history (period).
NOW, THIS IS A GOOD ONE:

TRUMP'S TOUGH-GUY ACT APPEALS TO WIMPS WHO WISH THEY COULD BE TOUGH
NYU PSYCHOLOGIST LINKS "FRAGILE MASCULINITY" TO SUPPORT OF TRUMP
GOOGLE SEARCH TERMS FOR PENIS INSUFFICIENCY CORRELATE HIGHLY WITH TRUMP VOTERS
Trump appeals to men who suffer from ‘fragile masculinity’
Brad Reed
29 NOV 2018 AT 06:46 ET
Two psychologists at New York University have conducted a study showing how President Donald Trump appeals directly to men who suffer from what they call “http://www.supertopo.com/inc/editforum.php?did=PTw2PCUjKyAgLSA,&dtid=PTw2PCEmJiYkISY,fragile masculinity.”
Writing in the Washington Post, New York University psychology professor Eric Knowles and NYU psychology doctoral student Sarah DiMuccio claim that many male Trump supporters feel far more insecure in their own masculinity than they’d have you believe — and they are drawn to Trump’s authoritarian rhetoric because it makes them feel more powerful.
“The political process provides a way that fragile men can reaffirm their masculinity,” they write. “By supporting tough politicians and policies, men can reassure others (and themselves) of their own manliness.”
In particular, the researchers found that there was a strong correlation between counties that voted overwhelmingly for Trump and internet searches for topics related to masculine insecurity, including “erectile dysfunction,” “hair loss,” “how to get girls,” “penis enlargement,” “penis size,” “steroids,” “testosterone” and “Viagra.”//
Most interestingly, the researchers found there was not a strong correlation between these search items and votes for Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008, which seems to indicate that Trump was uniquely adept at awakening “fragile male” voters.

Anthony Scaramucci, a Trump supporter, is lucid in his explanation that Trump's core of supporters don't care that he lies.
Scaramucci explains that they LIKE a disruptive hellion in the system. They cheer Trump as he disrupts The System, and entertains them as he pours sand into the machine.
Facts and reality are irrelevant, as in a math class disrupted by an obnoxious and doofus star athlete who can't keep up.
Not knowing why, they charge.

Trump ducks for legal cover after Cohen sentencing
The president claims he never directed his ex-lawyer to break the law and questions whether any campaign finance violations even occurred.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/13/trump-breaks-silence-michael-cohen-sentencing-1061817
(Excerpts)
President Donald Trump on Thursday ended his silence on Michael Cohen's prison sentencing, claiming he never directed his longtime attorney to break the law and that he bears no responsibility for Cohen's campaign finance violations.
President Donald Trump first denied advance knowledge of the payments but has since shifted his position to state that even if he was aware of the payments, they had nothing to do with the election.
Man, that kind of repositioning sounds eerily familiar, doesn't it? Like 'I never had sex with that woman'...'that depends on what the definition of is, is'....
Yet his base will accept this bullshit just like they have the millions of gallons of yellow custard this guy has spewed from his arse.

ANY NEW POLITICAL NEWS?
Yes. And it has nothing to do with Trump.
The California Public Utilities Commission wants to tax text messaging fees 7%, retroactive for the last five years.
These are not elected officials, they are bureaucrats appointed to five year terms. So un-elected government officials can set tax policy?
When will it end?

It looks like old man Samuelson had it right.

re: the text messaging fee. I doubt it will ever go into effect. People will just switch to an app that circumvents to tax. Stupid. But it shows the mentality of California govt. "oh, let's just make another tax". The fact they are even considering this show what's happens when Democrats have complete control over the government. Tax and spend.
And of course the last 2 years showed what happens when you give Republicans complete control of the federal govt. a big budget increase and a plan to add $1.5 Trillion added to the national debt in time of economic expansion. Great conservative fiscal responsibility there. Borrow and spend.

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to create a new White House council for promoting private investment in “opportunity zones” in more than 8,700 distressed communities across the U.S., aiming to expand prosperity to neglected zip codes.
The council, to be chaired by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, will help streamline applications for communities to qualify for the investments, the president said.
“Our goal is to ensure that America’s great new prosperity is broadly shared by all of our citizens,” Mr. Trump said at the White House. “We are drawing investment into neglected and underserved communities of America so that all Americans, regardless of Zip code, have access to the American Dream.”
White House officials said they hope the program will attract as much as $100 billion to those communities.
