The Morning Report — 8/5/22
A group of Republican lawmakers put forth a proposal on Thursday that it says would relieve student debt crisis without using taxpayer dollars to fund a massive debt forgiveness program. The Responsible Education Assistance Act would limit the amount of interest borrowers could accumulate on federal student loans to help them more effectively pay back their loans. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.), who co-sponsored the bill with Reps. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) and Jim Banks (R., Ind.), said the bill will help in-need Americans without shifting debt onto taxpayers. . . . . . Experts say the Democratic proposals to forgive student loan debt fail to address the underlying issues that led to the current situation. If [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden instituted his loan forgiveness plans, Americans would hold the same amount in three years as today, the Free Beacon reported in July. The Republican bill takes a different route: the proposal would cap interest on federal student loans after 10 years, in order to help borrowers pay down their principal. It would also cap the amount of money students could borrow from the federal government and block the secretary of education from imposing costly student loan forgiveness plans without congressional approval.The "underlying issues that led to the current situation" were Democrat-led governmental interference in the free market that encouraged graft, greed and sloth at every level by all involved. Like everything else and every other issue, the Democrats are the ones that call the tune and define the terms so that all the GOP can do is whimper and moan that they have a better and slightly cheaper solution that only exacerbates the problem by making America poorer and less free. As intended. How about proposing this, rising superstar conservative Elise Stefanik? Debtors? If you took out a student loan, you will pay it back or else suffer the consequences of being a deadbeat.
Universities? You are owed the money so the "forgiveness" angle is on you. Billions of dollars in your endowments so fork it over and "forgive." I'm told forgiveness is like a tranny: "Divine."
Banks? Stop lending money to people who can never pay it back just because you hope or think Uncle Sugar is going to step in and give you your due (yeah, I know, the Hank Paulson/US government strong-arming in the wake of 2008 and that is another story entirely though not unrelated). Channeling Richard Belzer a bit with his solution, "Hey, school lunch program? Eat fucking tree bark." It sounds cruel but I'm at that point where you gotta be cruel to be kind, so to speak. Again, it's called personal responsibility which goes hand in hand with freedom. In other words "conservatism." Look at that list of names in this proposal. These are the alleged next wave of conservatives that's going to take back the party and move us back to first principles? Not with shit like this. And now for something completely different, though not entirely on a macro level. Dick Cheney cut an ad for his flailing and failing daughter's campaign. Did the ad pump up whatever attributes or achievements she has had for the people of her district? No. It was a rehash of the very things that have made her campaign and political future go right down the crapper. And a hell of a lot worse:
“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” so says former Vice President Dick Cheney in a campaign ad released Thursday for his daughter’s floundering re-election campaign. Cheney bases this assessment on his claim that Trump is a liar. According to Cheney, Trump is “a coward” and not a “real man” because “a real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.” Would a “real man” lie to the world? That’s what Dick Cheney did. . . . . . As many as 306,000 civilians and troops died in the Iraq War, and roughly three million Iraqis were displaced as refugees. The true scope of the devastation can never be known. . . . . . Think of all the service members who died because of Cheney’s lies. Think of all the veterans who came home forever scarred because of Cheney’s lies. Think of all the American children who grew up without fathers or mothers because their parents were serving in a war launched because of Cheney’s lies. Think of all the innocent Iraqis who watched their homes destroyed, their country plundered, and their world turned upside down all because of the lies of Dick Cheney and his mini-me George W. Bush. The fallout from their lies will be felt for generations. But Dick Cheney wants us to believe that Donald Trump is “a greater threat to our republic” than anyone else in all our 246-year history.Dick Cheney really is a war-pig, as is the entire military industrial complex that has gotten fat on the blood and treasure of Americans as well as civilians where it decided it needed an un-winnable war. I have to stop myself and marvel at the fact that I'm sounding like Oliver Stone circa 2003. And yet the truth is the truth, albeit in that regard alone. But as I stated above, the reason this ad chills me to the bone is because it's not just a threat, it's a warning: If Donald Trump somehow is even allowed to run barring a kangaroo court conviction and by some miracle if the election is not rigged like it was last time, he will never be allowed to serve. It's bad enough when Molotov cocktails are hurled by BLM/Antifa terrorists. What Dick Cheney said in that ad is a direct warning shot across the bow at Trump. Worse, it is a threat and really a promise:

Should Donald Trump run and win in 2024, he is going to be physically taken out by the State.
Who wrote that essay bit? - If he runs, he will not win. If he wins, he will not be allowed to take the oath. If he takes the oath, he will not be allowed to serve.
Take it FWIW, but IMO, perhaps Trump should, once he wins the nomination (if he does), make this a centerpiece of his campaign - "make no mistake, friends, the State does not want me to win, and it certainly does not want YOU to win. Prepare for anything and remember your Constitutional rights."
Anyway, no more time to comment this morning, perhaps not at all today. Really bad day at work.

Bari Wiess has a really excellent podcast interview on this subject with contemporary comedian Andrew Schulz. He is a surprisingly articulate and thoughtful guy, in between the unavoidably constant self-promotion, and has a refreshingly abrupt take on cancel culture ("fuck 'em"!).

Nothing. Christopher Wray won during that hearing. He showed up, sauntered in, refused to answer questions meaningfully, prevaricated for a while, then glanced at his watch and dismissed himself with what essentially a, "yeah, I'm done playing and I have way more important shit to do than talk to a bunch of useless senators. See ya," move. He walked out of that chamber and onto his plane. He not only didn't cooperate with the investigation as is normal (the normal move being to pretend to care and show ersatz respect while spouting obvious lies to Congress), he spit on their floor, waved his dick around and then left.
I am actually somewhat grateful that this happened. Congressional inquiries and hearings are pointless and stupid and full of liars doing a stuffy ballet of deceit. Wray took a shortcut on all that and showed the Senate for what they are: pointless, powerless and useless.

Take it FWIW, but IMO, perhaps Trump should, once he wins the nomination (if he does), make this a centerpiece of his campaign - "make no mistake, friends, the State does not want me to win, and it certainly does not want YOU to win. Prepare for anything and remember your Constitutional rights."

Higher education finance needs to be overhauled. As for the people stuck in the system now, too damn bad. You signed the contract and you're stuck with it. I could see supporting an interest-accumulation cap as a compromise, but no forgiveness and no changing of terms.
Going forward, though, massive reform. Pick a date - say May 15 of 2023 or something like that - and impose new rules as of that date. New rules like the federal government exiting the student loan business, full removal of federal support for higher education students (all grants and scholarships and the like - all direct student support, in its entirety), removal of federal grants to any university for any reason if the project has any Chinese nationals or the university has Chinese-sponsored or Chinese national directors and removing the bankruptcy exemption for student loans.
It'll be messy. Enrollments will plummet. A lot of universities outside the Tier 1 group will go bankrupt. Budgets will be cut to the bone. The big dogs will still be big dogs, but the rest will fall. Five years from now, there will be new schools and costs will probably fall by 50% or more.

Weirdly the surprise of my night was that WA-03 is NOT over. Joe Kent has been quietly inching up on Butler for that second spot on the ballot. I don't want to get any hopes up, but it is possible he could end up beating Butler.

Going forward, though, massive reform. Pick a date - say May 15 of 2023 or something like that - and impose new rules as of that date. New rules like the federal government exiting the student loan business, full removal of federal support for higher education students (all grants and scholarships and the like - all direct student support, in its entirety), removal of federal grants to any university for any reason if the project has any Chinese nationals or the university has Chinese-sponsored or Chinese national directors and removing the bankruptcy exemption for student loans.
It'll be messy. Enrollments will plummet. A lot of universities outside the Tier 1 group will go bankrupt.

I love the idea of crashing the Ponzi scheme, but that's also why no politician is going to make that happen. I don't particularly care, though, because spiking interest rates will do what Washington never will. Things that are unsustainable AND toxic will be destroyed.

And this is why we need to flip the Senate in November, if just to stop the bleeding. Dems in power will always pass sh&t to worsen the country, even if it takes them awhile. Repubs will pass nothing

It's interesting to note that the republicans only passed their tax cuts that will expire because they were trying to get re-elected. The democrats are passing this because they suspect they aren't.

Dick Cheney's comments shouldn't be dismissed. He has deep roots in the IC... still. Whether The State will "take Trump out" as he said is debatable. That action by itself would open a pretty big can of worms The State might not want to deal with. The State will however make every effort to keep Trump off any and all ballots. On that account they may very well succeed.
Trump still has much to learn about The State.

Not just Trump, DeSantis will be taken out too -- or the attempt made. I have no doubt about it. We've crossed the Rubicon, or at least the oligarchy has, and every premise we've ever held about the social compact (premises the Republicans cling to out of fear and denial) have been shattered and lie in shards at our feet. The enemy cares less and less each day about exposure or reprisal and will not stop unless and until it is made to stop.

Bureaucratic incompetence and Food and Drug Administration foot-dragging. Bureaucrats allowed the vaccine to expire without being replaced because they wanted to develop a freeze-dried version with a longer shelf life. But FDA delays in approval meant that the new vaccine didn’t appear even as the old vaccine expired. The end result was that when a vaccine was needed, nothing was available.

The dems are the party of wealthy white people.
Green energy - a transfer of wealth from poor people to wealthy whites to subsidize investments and purchases of 'green' products.
Raising corporate taxes - mostly paid by consumers of big corporations, ie, working class people, does not affect investors, ie wealthy white people.
Student loan forgiveness - a transfer of wealth from non college educated to college educated wealthy whites.
The interesting part is that they don't even hide it. They literally only support legislation favored by wealthy white people.

Japan didn't have the bomb. They might now, but they didn't then. Keep in mind that while we did get it, it was the result of the largest unified industrial operation in the history of man. The Manhattan Project's scale is unfathomable, and the Japanese couldn't do it. They were severely resource-constrained and couldn't fuel or finance such an operation. The home islands were never flush with resources, even at the peak of Imperial Japanese power in the Pacific. There is no way the Japanese had the bomb back in the 40s.

Joe Kent is currently about 1000 votes behind with about 33,000 votes yet to count. I saw an analysis on who votes at the last minute like this, and a large number of them are people who don't trust the election officials to not cheat. So they show up at the last minute, bring their mail-in ballot by hand and make the clerks open the ballot in front of them to make sure their vote is counted.
That type of voter is going to vote for Joe Kent.
Back of the envelope, Kent needs to take about 56% of the remaining votes that are for him or Butler.

Ironic, really, that Dick Cheney called Donald Trump a "Coward".
Keep in mind dear readers, Donald Trump didn't need to run for President. I'm quite certain he would have been happy living his best life as a wealthy real estate guy, playing golf at one of his courses, spending time with his beautiful wife and family, etc.
Running for office as a Republican, he immediately, practically overnight, became Domestic Enemy Numero Uno, as if a switch had been thrown. And he had to know that going in.
Part of the problem with today's politics, is the kind of executive and business leaders needed in government - the people who actually know how to do stuff, who understand things, they want nothing to do with politics, and far too often the people who do, have no business anywhere near the levers of power.
I'd argue Cheney has it exactly wrong - it took a hell of a lot of courage to take on the slings and arrows of both the Republican and the Democrat Establishment, the Media, The intelligence agencies, the foreign governments, the media ...
The guy is a force of nature, you don't have to like the guy, but he'd never run for public office before.

As reported by Post Millennial correspondent and TPUSA Ambassador Katie Daviscourt, Facebook ran interference for President Biden’s failing economic agenda by slapping a “fact-check” on one of the nation’s most accomplished US economists.

Japan had a nuclear bomb and successfully tested it in Korea a couple of weeks before we bombed the shit out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war. Am I the only one who had never heard this before?
------------------------
I knew they were enriching uranium and researching a bomb but I don't think they actually ever tested one, or even were able to build a prototype. I thought they were far from an actual bomb. Is there evidence on your claim?

Does the government disburse the money to universities in full when a loan is taken out from the government or does the government only disburse the money as loan payments are made?

Neither, usually. Student loans are usually issued to the student. I went through that rigmarole before the government takeover, so it might have changed, but only one of my lenders disbursed directly to the university. Most of my loans landed in my checking account, and I then cut a check to the university.

Not just Trump, DeSantis will be taken out too -- or the attempt made. I have no doubt about it. We've crossed the Rubicon, or at least the oligarchy has, and every premise we've ever held about the social compact (premises the Republicans cling to out of fear and denial) have been shattered and lie in shards at our feet. The enemy cares less and less each day about exposure or reprisal and will not stop unless and until it is made to stop.

True, but now that Hispanics support Trump (?!) the cabal has to be genuinely panicking. The goal was to divide America and flee for "safe" areas like New Zealand and London during the chaos. Many residents of the USA hate Trump, of course, but they're overwhelmingly the soft-handed, unarmed, unprepared urbanites. Of course there is no shortage of LEOs and soldiers ready to take the cabal's shilling, but they'll be needed just to secure strongholds like NYC and Washington.
So don't worry. We can do without the CDC and the EPA. Hell, destroying the FBI to the last man can only benefit the country.

The people who have gotten sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men. But health officials emphasize that the virus can infect anyone.

Dick Cheney left the DOD almost 30 years ago. He left the VP 13 years ago. Except for the old GOPe hangers on, the 81 year old has about as much influence right now as Bob Dole did. Just like Bidens family dragging Biden into a presidency he is ill equipped to handle, Cheney s family especially Liz should be excoriated for dragging him into the spotlight to blather a nasty partisan rant about a former president for her own selfish reasons.

From the PJ Media article-
Never realized it would be this complicated-
"It's not Indiana law that's unclear; it's the circumstances surrounding Walorski's death that put a wrinkle in finding her successor. The law stipulates that the district party chair is responsible for naming a successor for the November ballot. That's Zachery Potts, and he perished in the same accident that killed Walorski."
"In the end, it's unclear how to proceed with finding a successor for Walorski. Leaving her name on November's ballot and calling for a special election next year may be the only way to move forward."
Never realized it would be this complicated-

Anger over abortion could triumph over the economy, imo. No accounting for the stupidity of the masses, educated and otherwise.
Gimme gimme gimme my abortion rights cuz you didn't gimme my free birth control pills. And when you gimme that, then you can gimme more food stamps and free tuition. Gimme what I want.

2024 is a long ways away in terms of Voter Short Term Memory. She'll throw some chum between now and then and they'll forget all about her sellout to their interests.
I never, ever, ever forget to remember the stupidity of the average voter.

There isn't much chum she can throw when she is no longer the deciding vote or in the majority.
And tossing out a new inflationary bill while heading into the start of a recession is suicide for 2024. We are very likely to be 2 years into a recessionary cycle when she hits the campaign trail, and she will be in a state where Lake has cleaned up the election system in Maricopa.
What everyone hasn't realized yet is that we are already in the 2024 election cycle, this is just the first act. Voter memories are going to be very long this time, and many of them are making up their minds on 2024 right now.

About Student Loans:
When students take out student loans, the university needs to have them need to sit down with someone from the university and go over repayment plans, and the costs of repaying the loan. Right now, you fill out a FAFSA and Bob's your uncle: MONEY!
And it is not enough to just sit there and have them nod their head while they listen to the student loan counselor -- they need to do actual homework, so it SINKS INTO THEIR BRAIN.
The student loan counselor needs to go over different scenarios: Different payback periods, different monthly payment amounts, and the principle vs interest amount. Compare payback amounts to projected salaries. There is s ton of information about salaries out there.
I am willing to bet that most people taking out, say, a $50,000 student loan think that they will be paying back $50,000 plus a little interest. Not $50,000 principle plus vast quantities of interest.
I met someone getting an MSW from NYU, NYU is expensive as hell! And social workers do not get paid a lot of money. She should have gone to CUNY or someplace. It is insane.

Judge a man by his enemies, I always say.
Seriously there has got to be a lesson in the opposition to Trump. Also never allow someone to blackmail you, because the blackmail never stops.
That means we/he can't possibly succumb to the threats. As a movement, they are telling us what we *must* do. And get this, we need to double and triple down, or they will.

Watching the canvas in Maricopa this time, I don't think they have a choice but to run a pretty clean election in November.
The cheating there has to be outside the election system, the officials were watched like hawks to make sure they didn't pull any games.
And then the canvas showed that they were taking the voter ID law and the signature match very seriously.
I don't think Maricopa will be able to cheat very much this cycle.

If anyone believes Chuckie was not privately negotiating with Sinema the past year, only with Manchin, today only I will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge for a dollar.

"Montreal man" randomly shoots three overnight in, oddly enough, Montreal.
||The gunman at the centre of a seemingly random killing spree that claimed the lives of three people in Montreal and Laval over a 24-hour period was allowed to continue living outside a mental health facility, even though a psychiatrist deemed he was a "significant risk to public safety" last spring.
The shooter, 26-year-old Abdulla Shaikh, was shot dead by Montreal police Thursday morning in a motel parking lot during an operation linked to the three killings.
Court records show Shaikh had a criminal record for charges including assault and mischief.||

Posted by: redridinghood at August 05, 2022 08:45 AM (NpAcC)
278
In July, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 15 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $32.27. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 5.2 percent. In July, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 11 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $27.57.
++++
So with CPI inflation running at 8% and wages rising by 0.5%, there's a huge gap. Hourly workers are keeping pace better, but still well below CPI inflation. I need to dig further into the unemployment print to understand more, but the movement on earnings has not been good despite more people working (though we're still well off from before the COVID stupids).

274 Serious question about student loans.
Why is the government even charging interest? Why isn't the government cutting every American a check every year with the interest money? It's not their money they were loaning out. They shouldn't be making a dime in interest.
Posted by: rickb223 at August 05, 2022 08:45 AM (j+4+t)
The plan: charge NO interest, then make sure inflation keeps running at a high rate. That way in 20 years, anyone with a loan out can pay it all back for the current price of a big mac.

Depends on sector. Net private employment is finally positive as compared to February 2020, but a lot of sectors are still in the tank, namely in hospitality which is still *way* off and in "government employment" which is still off by about a half million. Most of the recent growth has been in leisure/hospitality (which is still in deficit) and almost the entire net positive move has been in "professional and business services," which is a huge category. A lot of companies have been in a hiring boom, but the first warning shots on that have been coming from Big Tech. Layoffs and likely net staffing reduction are going to happen later this year or in the first half of next year. Big Tech will be a big player in that, but they will not be the only one.

The student loan forgiveness crap is not pandering only to current debtors. It's a carrot on a stick for LIV middle class parents who have kids who will soon go to college. The Democrat subliminal message: We'll periodically give loan forgiveness for as long as we are in power. Don't worry about your high school kid taking out a loan for a quarter-million bucks to get an art history degree! We'll forgive all or most of that a few years after your kid drops out or graduates. But you must vote Democrat forever if you want that deal.

But this depends on - and it's probably absolutely fine that it depends on - people never figuring out that there is no plan to do this and it isn't going to happen. Is it better to promise people to do something permanent at some point in the future and pass another in a long series of deferments, or is it better to cancel the debt?
Promising and deferments is better. That keeps the vote coming in for a long period of time. Canceling the debt means you can't go back to the well.

OT: Got an enthics Q, all. In late June I ordered some internal filters for my coffeemaker. They never arrived, Fed Express told me, because of a "wrong street address." Worse, FedEx insisted they couldn't let me give instructions to the driver or update the address because the vendor forbade it. I wrote to the vendor; no answer. Time for a dispute with my credit card company. Sure enough, the vendor finally told me they were starting an investigation. And the money, some $32, came back to me.
Yesterday the filters, the correct ones, showed up. More than a month late. Now: Should I tell the vendor I got it, so they can charge me? Or should I let it slide and see if they hit my card again?

Jones, like him or hate him, is a Journalist (of a sort).
An actual Trial might have lent it some credibility to a judgement, but at face this is nothing short of a Judicial Travesty.

I think the Kansas constitutional amendment ballot question was written by Pinocchio from the Shrek movies:
Uh. Hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not. It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect. On the contrary, I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was, that'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.

The evidence that increased access to higher education has increased the economic well-being of America as a whole is lacking and non-existent.
But you're not allowed to say "most people should not go nor deserve to go to college."
So, those who didn't go are paying for those who shouldn't have gone.

Regulation of abortion.
Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the people, through their elected state representatives and state senators, may pass laws regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, laws that account for circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or circumstances of necessity to save the life of the mother
Yes

All ballot language should be tested by having 13 year-old public school students with C-average or better grades from schools ranking in the upper two qunitiles of all schools in the state, randomly selected.
The students must read the ballot language and then re-articulate what it means and what a "yes" or "no" vote entails. If greater than 85% of the students are unable to re-articulate the ballot question and correctly identify what will happen in the event of passage or non-passage on their first attempt to do so, the ballot language is rejected.

I don't have the patience or wherewithal to bother interpreting the fucking thing, and parsing meaning is one of my few skills. It's ludicrous.
Do you support repealing the ban of the law which allows abortions to not be curtailed in the future, pending a vote that abortions will have not been made illegal in the past due to a potential positive vote on the following measure if your vote is in the negative?
Seriously it's like a Chinese riddle. Unmitigated insanity.

Similarly, FedEx was dropping packages for one street over address at my door. So was ups. I was getting in the car and delivering their shit to them like 4 times a week. I called FedEx. I left notes on the packages to tell the people to contact FedEx. I chased down the mailman. I called usps. I put in a notice to usps. The usps thing kinda got better. Finally a big fedex box arrived that I didn't feel like delivering for free. I called FedEx 4 times. I waited 2 WEEKS with the pkg on my porch. I now have a free nice set of Pyrex from bed bath and beyond.

McConnell got played by Manchin. Goes along with gun bill, then Manchin stabs us in the back.
Manchin already playing his game for 2024. Acting like he will not support a Dem for Prez, but then helps pass a anti coal bill in the Senate.

Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin lost their 6-year-old son, Jesse, in the 2012 massacre after a gunman attacked his school, killing 20 students and six educators. In the aftermath of the attack, Jones spread false claims that the attack was a hoax."
*
I'm betting Jones never said it didn't happen, but instead suggested it was an op like Covid-19 and saw Epps and Sullivan type people who were present at other mass shootings.

Of course it matters. A plurality of people show up to vote and have no clue what they are voting on until they get there. I don't have TV. The only reason I ever knew my local ballot questions and what to do was because I would specifically find out which way leftards wanted me to vote and then do the opposite.

"The rape and torture of children is not something to be 'relativized' or excused."

Even though Hitchens directed this famous comment to the Catholic Church it applies even more strenuously to public education and, especially, to our desperately sick post-modern culture. America is "cruising for a bruising", as we used to say as kids, and I fear for the future punishment we are working so hard ot earn.

It sounds cruel but I'm at that point where you gotta be cruel to be kind, so to speak. Again, it's called personal responsibility which goes hand in hand with freedom. In other words "conservatism." Look at that list of names in this proposal. These are the alleged next wave of conservatives that's going to take back the party and move us back to first principles? Not with shit like this.

You are raging at the wind, Sefton. Conservatism is not personal responsibility. It's "gibzmedat" but with a veneer of "I worked for it." or "I'm entitled to it!"
The 4 Pillars of Conservatism are:
Welfare for American Citizens
Government Schooling (with pensions!)
Government Jobs
Government Retirement

The students must read the ballot language and then re-articulate what it means and what a "yes" or "no" vote entails. If greater than 85% of the students are unable to re-articulate the ballot question and correctly identify what will happen in the event of passage or non-passage on their first attempt to do so, the ballot language is rejected.

I'd be in favor of taking this approach to ALL legislation.
It would expose the failures of the education system (the literacy rate is pretty poor and only gets worse the further the students get into high school).
It would also prevent legislation from being passed if it's not comprehensible to today's 13-year-old students.

If we don't acknowledge that, we'll find ourselves right back in the same spot sooner rather than later. I don't think we'll ever dig ourselves out of this mess until we acknowledge those blind spots - because we'll continue to back the wrong players if we don't own those mistakes. Not for any sense of contrition, but simply to not repeat them.

A buddy of mine was a member of the Fraternal Order of the Police in MD. He clipped his membership card to his registration. The only time he whipped that out he nearly got busted for attempting to bribe a po-po. I was in the passenger seat laughing my ass off.

It would also prevent legislation from being passed if it's not comprehensible to today's 13-year-old students.

Legislation is deliberately obtuse just so you can't know what is in it. They have staffs of lawyers going through the language of 6 other equally obtuse laws trying to figure out what a change from may to shall in section IV sub 218 clause 4a will mean.
The laws as written in the past 100 years are the Augean Stables

@434 torabora-It was certainly a shot across President Trumps bow, that's for sure. It's exactly as JJ described it. Many here get whipped up about Trump not draining the Deep State. Pisses me off too, but then you realize and hear shit like this that reminds you, and it is practically a daily occurrence the warnings for Trump/us by the "left" including the GOPe. I for once would like the commenters here that grumble constantly about Trump not draining the swamp to explain what they think the swamp/Deep State/left would have done in response if Trump even began to "drain" it' People that get upset about what Trump didn't do seem to gloss right over this scenario then claim, oh you're making excuses, can't criticize Trump, etc. No you need to explain to the people that see what is obvious, if the Trump admin had started taking these people out, what it would be labeled as by the left AND the GOPe, and how you think they would have reacted and dealt with Trump. They tell us daily what would have happened, it's plain as day if you stop, listen instead of marveling at how uber conservative you are in comments bitching about what Trump didn't do.

So much this. I get a little peeved when people complain that Trump did not exercise perfect omniscience and complete power. Well, duh. He is *human* and happens to have a good heart and loves America. He did what he could with his limited human abilities and it was a lot more than just about anyone else would or could do. Maybe someone else could have done better, but that someone didn't have or take the opportunity.

Re: Cheney. The hyperbole is a dead-giveaway that most people just don’t catch. The worst thing you could objectively say about Donald Trump is his demeanor was unpresidential and diminished the offices and his policies were bad [eta: I don’t really care about the first, and disagree with the second statement.] He’s not a “threat to the republic” or any of the other insane rantings his putatively thoughtful enemies indulge.
What’s really at the root of this is the ruling class believes THEY are the United States of America. And the people who won’t go along with their agenda anymore (aka the folks who put Trump in office) are a national security threat.

I assume (and probably "know") that Dick Cheney loves his daughter. And Harry Truman famously said of one of his daughter's critics that if Harry and the critic met, the critic would "need a steak for his eye and a supporter below".
So I'll cut Cheney some slack--but I'm not impressed by his accusation that Trump is a "coward". Weak sauce insult that. Cheney should swallow a glass of STFU.

The future is Neofascist. Not many people are aware that the New Deal Democrats and the Italian Fascists were best buds. Mussolini wrote a review FDR's book Moving Forward and gave it 2 thumbs up. He was impressed at FDR's embracing of Fascism and said so. Only problem for FDR was the Supreme Court stymied the more hard core fascist elements of the New Deal. Mention this episode to a modern progressive, and watch their head explode... or change the subject.

Sure he loves his daughter. But that accusation and really threat has got nothing to do with loving his daughter. There is no comparison to the Margaret Truman incident. Cheney is threatening Trump, period.

2) If Kent wins the GOP primary, he'll easily hold the WA-3 seat in this environment, as Dave in FLA discussed last night.
