Politico: Neocon Viperess Liz Cheney Fights For Her Political Life
And I laugh, and laugh, and laugh.
Only 20% of the GOP caucus was required to sign a petition which would force a secret ballot vote on whether to keep Cheney as the GOP's #3 leader (note: I previously erred and said #2), or to ditch the bitch. Over half of the caucus signed the petition. Yes, they might say one thing in public vote and another in a secret-ballot vote, but... that's a lot of signatures..png)
You know who else just got censured by his home-county GOP organization? =Scourgeof the Tea Party, Mitch McConnell.
The leadership of the Nelson County Republican Party unanimously approved issuing a formal rebuke of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell Tuesday evening.Speaking over neoliberal pseudorepublicans who need to be purged: George Bush, Jr. (ever notice the GOP has a real problem with undeserving nepots?) declared that Democrat Congressman James Clyburn was a "savoir" of the country for endorsing Biden, because only Biden could beat Trump. So again, let's note that our Republican Ruling Class who has been trying to get Democrats elected three cycles in a row. And let's again note that they deny that there is a DC Insider Uniparty, despite, you know, merging with the Democrats to become an actual Uniparty.
The unanimous vote of the 11 members of the executive committee came about six hours after McConnell took to the U.S. Senate floor and said President Donald Trump provoked a violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. A censure, or formal rebuke, issued after the vote accused McConnell of "implying (Trump) and his administration lied about the election," and that "McConnell has abandoned his Republican base that put him in office."
Former President George W. Bush called House Majority Whip James Clyburn "the savior" for his endorsement of Joe Biden in last year’s presidential primary, the Democratic lawmaker revealed. Speaking to reporters during a press call Wednesday after the swearing in of the 46th commander-in-chief, Clyburn (D-SC) revealed that Bush made the comments to him directly that morning as they awaited the start of the inauguration. "George Bush said to me today, he said, 'You know, you're the savior because if you had not nominated Joe Biden, we would not be having this transfer of power today,'" the No. 3 House Democrat said after being asked what he was thinking as he watched President Biden being sworn in. "He said to me that Joe Biden was the only one who could have defeated the incumbent president," Clyburn continued.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) says President George W. Bush told him he's "the savior" for his help in getting Joe Biden the nomination.

They called electoral fraud a "hoax" without even examining very substantive evidence.
They said President Trump provoked riots, when that is clearly false.
We've watch them tolerate and in some cases applaud the assault on our First Amendment. Hell, these Republicans are taking Big Tech money to piss on you.
They finally found their Hill to Die on, dumping on Republican Party members, those they are supposed to represent, when you voiced your concerns.

Levin said it was a constant fight to enact Reagan's stated priorities -- the ones he ran on, and received an overwhelming mandate for -- because the liberal Bushies and Rockefellerites were sabotaging and subverting him at every turn, always attempting to keep the Democrat-in-all-but-name liberalism they preferred.
Part of the reason I want Trump to run in 2024 is that trying to put another outsider in there would merely result in this same effect: the outsider would place trust in the establishment GOP who helped him get elected (since they control the party apparatus) and then find himself undermined at every turn. Trump suffered from this for four years, but would be less likely, IMHO, to fall for it again. And since he would have power in the party in his own right, he would be less beholden to McConnell to get "approved" establishment figures through the Senate.

More than that. Remember, they have nothing to fear from the voters any more. The ballot box belongs to the left. If you're a GOP congressman and you want to ensure a win, you cozy up to the DNC and make some deals. They'll see that you win your district as many times as you want. So what does their reputation at home matter any more?

Kicking out a member of their own leadership is actually one of the real, tangible things they can do that means something.

The biggest problem with "reforming" the GOP from the inside is that you cannot tell who is worth keeping or not based on their words. They know when to play to the rubes (us) and how. They're expert salesmen.

The founding fathers had in mind Cincinatus and the Roman Empire when they wrote the constitution. The Romans had a system where a landed man was called to serve in the government for a time, usually one year, and then went back to his farm. That's it. There was no concept of a career politician. And in a perfect world that's what we'd have. People chosen at random from all walks of life to serve in congress, work a one year term, and then go back to their lives. What a beautiful thing that would be. Human nature being what it is, it could never happen. But a man can dream.

Word is the worst, even if you save as a TXT doc. In our app, we have a special paste section just for word docs because there's SO much code embedded.
Instead, after pasting look for smart quotes, they should be generic, as well as apostrophe's. Those are the 2 things that kill it here - and a plain text doc will still support those characters. I've found 90% of the time, I'm missing an apostrophe somewhere. Just replace them in your text box.

At some point in politics though, you really do need to put together a majority coalition, or you just lose. You might say with them in the coalition, you lose anyway, which I somewhat agree with.
But that doesn't answer the how do you eventually win question. Regardless how bad you think the Liz Cheneys and Bushes are, if you want to have something like the policies you want enacted, you somehow have to get to a majority of people wanting the platform of your coalition vs. the platform of their coalition.

Here's my favorite story along these lines, posted by a long-departed commenter almost 5 years ago:
[Science fiction author] Jerry Pournelle had a quiet inside network of conservative contacts inside the Reagan White House, promoting things like ballistic missile defense.
He recalls what happened in the one week following the inauguration of Poppy Bush in January of 1989 -- the sweeping purge. Every single one of Pournelle's conservative contacts were *gone*, replaced by what he terms "the country club set".
Fast forward a couple of decades to a GOP wondering where it all went so terribly wrong. Well, perhaps the inflection point was just where Dr. P says.

IIRC, per current Senate impeachment trial rules, 51 votes can accomplish or force anything, except conviction (67 needed). If PDT's attorney tried to introduce election fraud evidence, that can be completely blocked by 51 Senators voting it is immaterial to the impeachment charge. Subpoena of evidence from PA, GA etc. - same thing.
I guess PDT's attorneys, in opening and closing statements, could repeat everything PDT and others said about likely cheating, for the record.
I believe PDT should hire an attorney to represent him. One, only, Who simply says, "This is horse dung," every time it is his/her turn to speak.

There was an article about Hillary a year or so into her Senate career that recounted all the ways she was building relationships with fellow Senators (both parties) as well as Dem House members. Partnering on legislation, getting them involved in the Clinton foundation, moving her PAC money to freshman Dems' campaigns to give them a leg up. Hillary clearly knew how to get people invested in her as a Senator, and indebted to her for their re-election and involvement in high profile issues.
I don't get the sense that Cheney has done much to befriend or partner with her fellow House members? More like entitled and arrogant? Half of them have just said they'll kneecap her budding career as a GOP House leader.

I think a lot of NG units are fairly tight knit, with guys who know each other, in and out of the unit. So there's presumably a lot of comradery, that results in guys wanting to look out for their buddies, rather than considering the geopolitical aspects of all this.
At least that's how I would think it was, before all these units started getting deployed halfway around the world all the time.

ALOT of Republican voters would jump ship, I'd guess a majority. Enough so the GOP would have to play ball with US to win any seats. Remember, if a third party fails it takes the GOP out of the game with it. They're done. Even they don't want that. They'll have to form alliances with Patriot Party voters and candidates or be wiped out. So there's that. Am I right? Who knows. But I'm in to try!

And really, that ball was already rolling LONG before Obama got in. Between the Bush's and Clinton, the foundation was complete so it was just a matter of filling the vacancies. Trump would have had to undo 30+ years of malignancy. I don't think even a solid 8 could do it, but it sure would have made a difference.

Y'know, that brings up another bitch I have about the GOPe. The concept of political capital. As if there is a finite amount of things that can get done because when the "capital" is gone, what?
They don't seem to understand that by doing things the voters want, they'd end up with more capital than they started with.
Akkkshuallly, I didn't think that through to its end. They do know it and use "political capital" as one of the many bullshit reasons they can't do what the people who elected them want. More failure theater.
Dems don't have that issue. They show up at the card table running full speed with their arms out, and scoop from everyone else's stack. Then sit back and say ante up.

So, there's a chance that we can reform the party from the inside? I think that's the message that the GOP is trying to give us. The thing is, they think that rest of the people that silently assented with what took place two weeks ago - heck, make that twelve weeks ago - will be safe as well.
The GOP thinks - like FOX - that if they toss a couple of sacrifices into Mt. Rube that the volcano won't destroy them either.

Due to McConnell (and colleagues), Trump could not even get any people aboard using recess appointments. If Trump had tried to go outside of the Federalist Society of patronage for judges, he would have simply not had any judges appointed. Ryan helped tank the 2018 elections along with GOPe retirements in the House. His own AG's allowed Dems to persecute him. Essentially, the GOPe immune system sensed the outsider and acted as one in DC to repulse the reforming infection.

But I wonder if the election of Bush 43 was another inflection point. When the towers fell everyone knew Clinton was to blame and there was serious anger rising against the failures of the Democrats.
But Bush was president and it gave the left some wiggle room to say "not our fault" which Bush embraced.
If President Gore is there on that day, he gets impeached. And the dirty laundry starts to come out.

The Media is a HUGE problem. But the current outfits cannot be remade or reformed from outside, other than by reducing their viewers and readers to zero.
They have no incentive to change, at this time. They cannot be made to change by appeals to their duty as professional journalists. Because there is no such duty that they signed-up for. A journalist's only enforceable contract is an employment contract. No journalist ever swore to, or signed a contract saying, "I will report only the facts, impartially."

Blood money.
I minored in history at college. Focused on war and empires. One thing I remember was the discussion of Vietnam was how it became a politically controlled war, but the professor said the military had figured that out and fixed it.
Except they did not.
The JAGS made everything political. Trump got things done by telling them to go to hell.
I am no longer pro war. Unless they are coming across the border it is none of our damned business.

I defended him at the time, and still will today: the indication of a somewhat legitimate democracy in Iraq did, eventually, spread throughout the Middle East. Unfortunately, we had JEF in office at the time, who managed to piss away the opportunity to make lasting, positive change in that part of the world.

Thing is, the GOP has been leading us around by the nose with this argument for decades. We suck, but you better vote for us you proles, because the dems are WORSE! Frankly, that's a crappy sales pitch that I'm no longer excited about.

I basically agree with this, but it still doesn't answer the question of how you get to a coalition that gets majority support.

A major party can die--the Federalist Party declined rapidly after 1800 until is was a pale shadow in 1812. The Hartford Conference killed what was left after the triumph in the Battle of New Orleans.
The Whigs died from the compromise of 1850 which split the northern and southern branches over slavery and the early death of Zachary Taylor in office who was replaced by the mediocre Millard Fillmore.

I met six total strangers last night after going to my daughter's basketball game last night. Well, five strangers and one friend. And this is a team organized for homeschoolers, and they play against private schools, probably all Christian schools. Anyway these were team parents so we're filtered for a fairly conservative mindset, probably.
But I didn't know them and no one was taking politics. Near the end of the time (as we waited for our girls) Covid came up and I made a fairly anodyne comment about the "interesting" changes to testing the WHO had announced.
Instant response, big response--everyone knew, everyone was pissed, etc etc. It was comforting to run into a group of strangers and find out they're as red pilled as any moron on this site.

The problem with saying Trump can reveal all the evidence of fraud at an impeachment trial is that the Senate can vote not to admit any evidence or allow any discussion of fraud. Mittkins is sure to vote that way.

Here's my counter argument to the third party is a mistake crowd. IF a third "patriot" party is started, I think people underestimate it's clout. ALOT of Republican voters would jump ship, I'd guess a majority. Enough so the GOP would have to play ball with US to win any seats. Remember, if a third party fails it takes the GOP out of the game with it. They're done. Even they don't want that. They'll have to form alliances with Patriot Party voters and candidates or be wiped out. So there's that. Am I right? Who knows. But I'm in to try!
Posted by: Agent Cooper at January 22, 2021 12:42 PM (Dc5Qe)
Thanks for this serious answer. Here's my counter argument: both parties, at the state level, have put up huge roadblocks to third parties, but very few defenses to protect the parties themselves from being taken over. So if having to choose third party or taking over the Republican party, I would choose the latter. Not sure the result will command a majority though.

Exactly this... you know why? Because the democrats would punish anyone out of line.
Until we show that the entire party will suffer for any traitors there will be nothing to gain from GOP support.

Instead of ferreting out the RINOs and NeverTrumpers and China INC puppets from the GOP, just walk away from it and form a new party - call it, say, "The Patriot Party" or some such.

The only way to rid ourselves of the GOP national leaders is to abandon the whole party. Doesn't matter who censures who, in the end the local GOP leaders will do what the national leaders want, if the local leaders had wanted to do something about McConnell or Graham they could have before now but they didn't, and they won't. If there were going to be a bottom up revolution in the GOP it would have already happened. burn it to the ground, and salt the earth where it once stood. or are we now going to say that voting matters, even though we know they will cheat if they don't like the real vote? So what is the point of taking over the bloated, rotten carcass of the GOP?
It doesn't make any sense, it's a recipe for more of the same.
