The Morning Report — 9/7/22

Good morning kids. Wednesday and "President" Groping-Furor's angry dictator act last Thursday continues to shock and disgust, that is until the next unthinkable act happens which, as an election that in theory will wipe his party out come November is virtually a lead pipe cinch. In a sane world, losing the majority in Congress would effectively neuter a president's agenda. Then again, since the New Deal, the legislature has all but willingly ceded its power to the Bureaucracy, which is in theory controlled by the executive branch. At least when a Democrat or the accidental RINO placeholder is in the Oval Office. But I digress.

The half of the country that was blood-libeled and all but officially indicted as traitors were outraged and alarmed. Even some in the propaganda punditry vocally objected to it, though for sure they would shrug their shoulders should mass arrests or even summary executions occur. And yet, Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants did it again on Labor Day:

Biden vilified MAGA voters in his Labor Day speech, just days after he said previous criticisms didn’t apply to all MAGA voters:

BIDEN: “I want to be very clear up front: not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career. But the extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division. But together, we can and we must choose a different path forward. (Cheering and Applause) No, I really mean it. We have to. The future of unity, of hope, of optimism. We’re going to choose to build a better America! A better America!”
. . . Biden gave the speech in Wisconsin, so he targeted vulnerable Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. . . Maybe Biden is mad at Johnson because he’s one of the Republican senators pressuring FBI Director Christopher Wray to answer questions about precious Hunter Biden’s laptop. . .
. . . Biden is so respectful and loving of everyone that he is okay with security kicking out people heckling him. He even criticizes the people, describing them as threats to the non-existent democracy in America.

THE PRESIDENT: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t — let him — let him go. Let him — he’s — look, everybody is entitled to be an idiot. (Applause.) No, no. Everybody is entitled. (Applause.) Okay?
- - -

His brain might be melting in front of our eyes but when it comes to hurling hate and invective, the half dozen functioning neurons in his frontal lobe are firing away like mad at 110%. Yet after last Thursday and even after this, it's curious that the one person who has remained absolutely silent should have been screaming the loudest. But, we're not in a sane world anymore.

Five days after the speech, McConnell has not publicly remarked on Biden’s rhetoric. His office did not respond to several requests for comment from Breitbart News that spanned several days.
Biden gave the remarks on Thursday outside of a red-lit Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and targeted millions of “MAGA Republicans,” stating they “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic” . . .
. . . While McConnell has not commented on Biden’s speech, he also lagged in remarking on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s unprecedented raid of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, last month.

McConnell does not have dementia. Yet. But his silence is as horrific and in a sense worse than Jon Meacham's words (looks like he wrote it). But it is revealing. And speaking of the Gestapo raid on Mar-a-Lago, look what the FBI is claiming it pulled out from between Barron Trump's mattress and boxspring, aside from a well-worn copy of Tropic of Cancer and the December '72 issue of Beaver Hunt: "NUKE-U-LURR SEEKRITZ!"

It says so right there on the cover and besides, they're from the FBI so you have to believe them, right? Pfft.

Y'know, how convenient that after Trump is labeled the greatest threat to national security since the Rosenbergs, who the Left has been shrieking for 70 years were actually patriots and/or patsies, the FBI finds the secrets that after the first few days they somehow couldn't find no matter how how many of Melania's panties they sniffed. "Foreign national nuclear capabilities." This from the junta that is all but palletizing Lawrence Livermore Laboratory along with a few hundred billion more from Obama's stash and flying it to Tehran.

All of this — ALL. OF. THIS. — is because one outsider who only had an inkling of how rotten and corrupt our government was had the gall to actually win a presidential election and tried as best as he could to stop it. For that most absolute mortal of sins, he had to be destroyed. And by extension, we now have to be destroyed.

There's a lot of talk about the upcoming midterms as well as 2024 and gallons of ink and pixels have been spilled already about the potential candidacy of Trump. I'm going to state here for the record that while I think that elections are crucially important, I think going forward they are going to be meaningless given the state of affairs in and outside of DC. The fact that we have to accept the fact that election-rigging is real and that we have to have enough votes to overcome it is evidence enough that things are no longer as they should be, by a long shot.

I have had conversations with cobs and colleagues about Trump, his successes, failures and what his future and our future is going forward. Some of that debate has been reasoned and logical, and those who say he should not run and are in favor of Ron DeSantis as being the standard-bearer in '24 make very good points. In fact, to the extent that I too lean towards supporting his candidacy. But unfortunately, some folks who I dearly respect are allowing what can only be charitably described as a latent form of Trump derangement to make the argument against him. It's almost as if they are blaming the victim of a gang rape for dressing too provocatively. Is it my imagination, or do I get a sense that if the Junta actually succeeded in taking him out, they'd look the other way so long as he was not the candidate? It's almost like a mirror universe attitude of destroying democracy to save it. Focusing on Trump's Achilles heels instead of what has been and continues to be done to him and all of us misses a big picture of Sistine Chapel proportions.

So am I switching my support back to him? More importantly, if he does run and even wins, and even if he staffs his entire administration with Judge Roy Beans and not Jared and Ivanka, does he have the actual power to really reverse course? For that matter, ditto Ron DeSantis or anyone else who you think is on our side?

It's not that I think he should run; it's almost as if he has to run. But, as I said, I don't think of Trump anymore as a mere candidate. Whether you like it or not, he is now the leader of a much broader movement to, if not take back America (if that is even possible) but to save us from the abyss. And even then, I don't think he or anyone can do that, at least not from a position of political leadership such as it was, because the nation itself is lost, the country irreversibly divided and so many institutions corrupted beyond redemption.

We'll see what happens next. Until then, I can't wait to see my in box.

I accept and appreciate reasonable arguments for supporting another candidate. But to attack him personally and in a sense blame him for the shit done to him as his own fault is really beyond the pale.

This guy seems to think the speech happened in a vacuum. The new tone and message that "Republicans are terrorists who are a grave threat to our Democracy!!" has quickly taken hold across the MSM/DNC. This is no longer about Trump, not at all. It's about anyone who agrees with him, who shares his party-affiliation, who does not 100 agree with Biden and the progressive agenda.

I don't listen to many Hollywood people, past or present, so I'm actually pretty inured from the Blacklist talk even though I pretty consistently watch movies from the era. I obviously know its broad strokes, as well as Ben Mankowitz's obsession with it on TCM, but I just simply don't think about it much.

It keeps popping up recently because I've actually started reading some stuff about Golden Age Hollywood (mostly that book about Billy Wilder), and the contrast to today is interesting. Adhere to an ideology with the explicit goal of overthrowing the US and installing a communist dictatorship? Don't you dare limit what they say! Hope for constitutional order as described in our founding documents? Cut them off from work forever.

One is fine. The other is not. Obvious, been happening for a while, and hypocritical, it's still just kind of fascinating.

106 What I can't understand is how (why?) anyone in the Junta leadership thought the Nuremburg Speech was a good idea. In what universe is it smart to decorate the iconic home of American liberty like a cross between Hitler and Stalin, and then have Meat Puppet accuse half of America of being evil?

The whole Democrat leadership is loony.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at September 07, 2022 08:05 AM (vIQqs)

the how / why question is easy.

they don't think they'll ever lose again. and they might be right. I mean look at it, their stormtroopers attack the right, the cops, the business, and anyone they feel like without issue. they stole an election in plain sight and there were no consequences. they imprison us and shit on the constitution and there's no recourse against them.

this is why they aren't afraid of showing proclaiming their evil. they don't think it will be stopped.

and they're right, until they suddenly won't be, and it won't be pretty.

107 *biden painted Republicans in general with a pretty broad brush claiming MAGA is a clear and present danger to "their democracy." I'd like to know what's going through the minds of rank and file Republicans right now. The Senate leadership, McConnell specifically hasn't said a word and has refused to comment. He really will let the country burn to spite Trump.

KY passed a law (overriding the governor's veto) to force the governor to appoint a replacement senator from the same party as the person retiring or dying. McConnell reportedly had a hand in the passage of it.

So, we'll get another Republican in that scenario, but it'll be another McConnell Republican.

Still, won't be leader, so a step in the right direction.

If there's one thing Republicans will meaninglessly investigate it's Hunter Biden. Nothing will come of it except bad headlines that the NYT refuses to print.

good observation.

The evil element (in reality) is the DeepState which has been doing all these things openly. Biden described them well, except they are no recent development.

But "we" the people need to slice their baloney the other way. Biden tried to describe his tyranny as MAGA, which is Orwellian. BUT he (or his handlers) had to, because they know the MAGA message is what rings true for a super majority of voters.

This is their "pay no attention to the (lying) men behind the curtain" moment. The censorship and fraud is all on their side, and DOJ/FBI are in control of their Marxist BigGov abuse of power.

153 Guaranteed the "foreign nuclear capabilities" is either a known secret (Israel has nukes) or a Democrat secret (Iran never stopped building their nuke program).

And they are lying when they imply it was classified *. Because it's also guaranteed that the docs are summaries of new reports-- not gathered intelligence.

Before it was declassified, it was classified because of who the memo was directed to. The Daily Presidential Brief minutes is classified even if the only item is "the Cowboys are confident they will go to the Super Bowl."

*NB, they said the capabilities were in the seized docs marked classified. But, they have very carefully avoided saying the actual info was classified.

They HAVE to get it on the little kid "school" vaccination schedule. If they do that then the lifetime protection legislation applies, and per person payout over the individual's lifetime amounts are under $20K for harm done by any injection.

Without it on the "school" vaccination schedule the mRNA folks are on the hook for trillions in damages. It's why we're still seeing the experimental / emergency use authorization even though Comirmirty (or whatever) was made a big deal of last year.

It's financial protection for the corporations. Nothing more.

McConnell is a toe tag politician, the only thing that will separate him from the levers of power is death.

And he will be replaced by a simulacrum, like Thune or Cornyn.

There's coming back from where we are heading.

The entire rotten, corrupt edifice that is the US Government and Deep State has to fall and then possibly we can claw our way out of the wreckage.

We can't even get the LE/IC apparatus to stop running Ops against a President who hasn't even been in office for two years or spring political prisoners who have been languishing in the Black Hole of the DC Gulag, so changing out GOP leadership is right out.

NYC for me, was always fun, but like an amusement park: you go, get overstimulated, then go back to your quiet life.

If you're a loner, like me, places like NYC are okay in small doses, but all the time are Hell On Earth.

I think removing the 17th Amendment would make things worse, not better.

State legislatures are probably more corrupt than the federal Congress, just at a smaller scale. In addition, state governments are now addicted to federal spending in ways that were unthinkable in the early 20th century. That's a recipe for just more graft, simply redirected.

He didn't understand why his parents were so enamored of walking to the deli every day and keeping next to nothing in the house. The full size fridge was always close to empty, and they had a large enough basement to store plenty of supplies. The daily shop was a sort of NY ritual for them. Every morning she'd walk to get the paper and deli crap for lunch, and some piece of meat to cook for dinner. There was no preplanning or preparation. A weather event left them with bread and milk. It was weird.

Yeah, I just wish they would have included a intra-state electoral college scheme instead of a pure popular vote which would have diluted the power of the cities in selecting Senators.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at September 07, 2022 09:07 AM (up/3i)

334 309 I'm not quite sure why the 17th amendment was proffered and passed but I can imagine one of the impetuses of it was probably corruption at the state level in the selection of Senators.

Could you imagine the pay to play opportunities if State Legislatures selected Senators today instead of by popular vote? Posted by: Thomas Bender

You are correct - it was passed because of the incredible corruption of the old system, including reports that Senate seats were being openly bought and sold. The real historical tragedy is that the reforms were enacted, and yet the Corruption remained - I suppose it is always that way. Posted by: Tom Servo
----------------
By the time the amendment was ratified,most states used referendums to choose senators anyway. State legislatures often left the seats unfilled for years and there was rampant corruption via bribes for appointments, etc. Post Civil War, the Senate was essentially a backwater and the real action for politicos was in the House.

The Producers was an independent production, so its rights, I think, are owned by the producer himself. That keeps it from getting into box sets of Brooks' work.

Wow.
This is what moving to Hollywood, working for Weinstein, and becoming close friends with Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer does to you, huh?
_______________

Lawrence did more than work for Weinstein. We all know now how Weinstein operated. Only the actresses who submitted to his creepy sexual demands got work from him and his cronies. Actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lawrence went along with Weinstein and got steady work from him; other actresses, like Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino refused the pervert, and saw their careers severely diminished.

So everybody knows now that Lawrence is basically just a whore who sold herself to the repulsive, deformed Weinstein for movie roles. That has to be difficult for her to reconcile with her image of herself as a strong, empowered woman. So now she has adopted extreme leftist views that allow her to distance herself from her family members and others who might question her decision to allow herself to become a Weinstein sex toy.

DeSantis is wonderful Hulk Hogan leg dropping state level bureaucrats and I just love what he has done overall in the great state of Florida. What will happen to him if he fires Christopher Wray like Trump did to HomeyComey? The same fvcking thing that happened to Trump: Russia/Impeachement 1/Impeachement 2/Stolen Election/Burglary at Mar-a-Lago, etc. while ruining every single person who supports him. Or will he submit to donors like he is already aligning with? I am not sure at all.

Like Molly Ball at Time told us on Feb 4th 2021... "They had to save the election." Like Carl Benjamin recently said on Gorka's show: "They purposely cut you out of your electoral process and are pillaging and jailing you like you are a conquered people." (paraphrased)

Vengeance must be Trump's/ours and he is now much wiser because of his experience. Frankly, there is no other choice than opposite the donors who proliferated 20 year wars to their benefit.

That said, let's focus on the 2022 election you fine people.

The vastness of its spaciousness is really vast. Think about that. When someone talks about spaciousness, they also mean vastness. And space is like that. Spacious and vast.

What's that? You asked what I want for lunch? Oh.

396 I see despite the federal judge's order, the DOJ/FBI has leaked information about information taken from Ma-A-Lago, namely that Trump possessed top secret information about another country's nuclear program.

Yep, that information was so super-duper secret and highly sensitive that the FBI couldn't wait to leak it to the Washington Post.

Reality: Some drunk at a bar said he heard Trump paid Moscow prostitutes to urinate on the bed Obama slept in.

Allegation: Trump stole nuclear secrets!
Reality: A news article on Iran's nuclear program was found in a box. Which they found after trying on Melania's bra and panties.

406 I don't see a path politically speaking for the 17th amendment to be repealed other than perhaps via a list of amendments proposed by a convention of the states.

Part of the US's political problems is that our political system was designed to act without parties. When parties were inevitably formed, what kept the system together was that a) the national government did not do much activity inside states and b) parties representing national interests brought together the separated powers so that governance could exist on big questions (external relations, taxes, etc.). Homogeneity among the population and its desires also helped bond the US together and allowed for the breach of the American Civil War to be healed over time.

We have no such luck today. Diversity in ideology and demographics basically have led to the uniparty and domination of the system by bureaucrats/monied interests. The solution using the Constitution is to revert almost all powers over day to day life back to states and localities or you have to scrap our national system and move toward a parliamentary system with proportional representation.

But they're not making that distinction. They're just citing "nuclear secrets" without specifying whose. The first story I saw this morning had me convinced Trump had taken the plans to Little Boy and Fatman.

412 "I see despite the federal judge's order, the DOJ/FBI has leaked information about information taken from Ma-A-Lago"

is there any indication DOJ/FBI will obey the judge on the Special Master, or that they will hand over anything, or that they have not already copied everything, destroyed any evidence against them?

Seems this was there "we will do as we damn well please, you are powerless" moment. Stealing Melania's clothing just enforces that message.

State governments have less insulation than the federal government does from its people. Plus, most states have to run a balanced budget by law which makes it more clear who has to pay for someone else to get government goodies.

422 All of the presidents were complaining about their official White House portraits, which are a long-standing tradition. Or they were until President Donald Trump ended the practice of sitting presidents unveiling the official portraits of their predecessors — nearly uninterrupted for four decades — by not holding a ceremony for former president Barack Obama.

Gee. It is a mystery. Can't imagine why.

432 Thanks for saying that, Sefton.

If we can't remain loyal to Trump then we deserve Romney and McCain all the way down. If we let the Establishment destroy the only President since Reagan to keep faith with us, we will never find such men again.

Might as well go back in time and strangle King Arthur in his crib.

The DeSantis advocates are unbelievable. Reagan left office in 88? So it's like we waited 28 years to get Blonde Scarlet Johansson in bed in 2016, and these knuckleheads want to hold out for the Redheaded version. Like we have the luxury to roll the dice on another Chris Christie or Scott Walker when we already have a sure thing.

The Deep State wants anyone but Trump. So a vote for anyone but Trump is a vote for Deep State. It's really that simple.
