The Morning Report — 11/16/22
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY
- ". . . the exact same people who have been inflating our life savings away would be able to directly control how we spend it."
Central Bank Digital Currencies Are Coming – A US Social Credit System Could Soon Follow
- CIVIL WAR 2.0: J-6 FBI FALSE FLAG "RIOT" & AFTERMATH, LEFTIST PERSECUTIONS, DEMOCRAT PUTSCH, AMERICAN DISSOLUTION
- The fact that he did not stand up and declare categorically that that was a lie is an admission that what happened on 1/6 at the Capitol was an FBI/Democrat staged event.
FBI Director Won't Say If He Had 'Confidential Human Sources' 'Dressed as Trump Supporters' at Jan. 6 Insurrection
- "Can you not tell the American people, no, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?” (QED, Congressman - jjs)
‘It Should Be A No!’: Congressman Explodes After Wray Refuses Question On FBI, January 6

Biden’s Proposed Plan To Address Diesel Shortages Could Hike Prices Even Further
- "The Daily Caller notes that Indonesia depends on coal to power its steel industry and that in 2020, coal made up 37% of the energy the country used.

Indonesia Is Getting $20 Billion to Dump Coal
- "Moving to electric vehicles, as it appears we are determined to do, will have no measurable effect on global greenhouse gas emissions. We’ve reduced so much that further reductions hardly matter. The future use of fossil fuels and the effect of their use on the environment is a discussion that involves China and India alone. Everyone else is merely a bystander."
Concerning the Great Elec-Trick

Beijing Tells Residents Not to Leave Home ‘Unless Necessary’ but Denies It’s on Lockdown
- "The next time a government-created super virus comes along, followed by a new experimental drug, are we going to have to repeat this drill again?"
What is Your Problem with the Death Lottery? AMNESTY, IMMIGRATION, BORDER SECURITY - Governor Abbott: “Until the Biden [junta] does its job and provides Texans and the American people with sustainable border security, Texas will continue doing more than any other state in the nation’s history to defend against an invasion along the border, including adding more sanctuary cities like Philadelphia as drop-off locations for our busing strategy.”
Philadelphia-Bound Migrant Bus Departs from Texas Border

Philadelphia Cop Shortage Has City Appointing Civilians for Police Work
- "The 15-year-old Oak Park, Michigan, high school student allegedly used the photos as blackmail to extort money, among other things, from fellow students, WXYZ reported. The teen purportedly obtained explicit photos and videos of his schoolmates by pretending to be a girl online. His charade came to halt, however, when one of his victims sought help from his mother after the 15-year-old suspect threatened to release send his nudes publicly, according to the outlet."
Police Arrest 15-Year-Old For Allegedly Catfishing Fellow Students, Threatening To Expose Explicit Photos of Them FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUES, CENSORSHIP, FAKE NEWS, MEDIA, BIG BROTHER TECH - Yellen’s comments come less than a week after Biden told reporters at a Nov. 9 press conference that Musk’s connection to the Saudis, who gained a roughly 4% stake in Twitter after investing roughly $1.9 billion into the mogul’s $44 billion acquisition of the platform, was “worth being looked at.”

Ultimately I think the GOP keeps Trump from winning their nomination, Trump runs as an Independent for vengeance, and the Dems waltz to victory in 2024 without even needing to cheat as badly as their norm although they will anyway because they can't help themselves).

The "answer", as it always has been, is either an overwhelming threat of Type Delete, or the Type Delete itself. There is no other way to decentralize and dilute power once it has been centralized and concentrated. Barons against kings. Peasants against barons. Laborers against management. That is the grim, unfortunate reality of human nature, and there's not much more one may safely say about it.

The question of should he run again is now moot. Is this a colossal mistake for him and more crucially for us?
Obama winning the McGOP nomination is greater than any other candidate has in winning the 2024 Presidential Sweepstakes.
The FUSA no longer has an election system.
We no longer have a Constitution. We are a low trust society run by the Deep State now on the brink of collapse because of some combination of civil war, foreign war, banking failure, famine and deindustrialization due to inadequate energy.
Show me a positive vector anywhere, or at least show we any fundamental that is promising.
The next two years of "campaigning" is just bread and circuses as the political class rakes in money from the rubes.

Pence is a major disappointment.

Oh, and Mr. Pence, have you been speaking out against the excesses of the FBI? No?
Shut up and go away. You had a chance to be consequential. Obviously, you chose your fellow swamp creatures over American citizens.

Certainly no surprise regarding Trump. I imagine every nominal Republican who also runs will run "against Trump" and by extension his policies.
Which in my mind makes them Democrats. Or worse.
Meh... the next president has already been selected and the fix is in. The rest is just theater.

I think our cause really died when Rush Limbaugh died. There was no one else with his articulation and his reach. And the Media will not allow another to rise, even if there were such a person.
The state will not allow Trump or DeSantis to be elected, or anyone who could make meaningful change to the government.
I feel like the guy on the beach pointing out the mile-high tidal wave approaching. I can point it out but I don't have an answer as to what to do.
2020 and 2022 should be lessons to us all. We're just a short hop from Cuba.

"Trump runs as an Independent for vengeance, and the Dems waltz to victory in 2024 without even needing to cheat as badly as their norm although they will anyway because they can't help themselves).
So you learned absolutely nothing about the false campaigns of McCain, Romney and what the McGOP intended with Jeb!
There is zero interest in the McGOP in controlling any branch of government. If they accidentally find themselves in that position it is only so that they can set themselves up for failure and being pinned as the scapegoat for every woe that inflicts We The People.

Whenever you think "why don't we cheat too?" go look up the story of TEA party politician Kent Sorensen. The last name might be Sorenson. We will rot in jail if we do what they do. Imma still vote in MO, and pray always. But we can't win a rigged game.

It is rigged, in perpetuity now and forever. Just look at another comparison of non-equal before the law: J6ers and Antifa. We have everything stacked against us now.

16 Ultimately I think the GOP keeps Trump from winning their nomination, Trump runs as an Independent for vengeance, and the Dems waltz to victory in 2024 without even needing to cheat as badly as their norm although they will anyway because they can't help themselves).

"Officials claimed that since at least 2014, Google has deceived users about what times it was tracking them and violated consumer protection laws in doing so. It secretly tracked them when they thought they weren’t sharing their location, and then used the information for online marketers to sell ads."
Should be $3 billion, not the paltry sum agreed to. A law requiring opt-in would be very welcome, but legislators will simply use a threat of such a law to get Google political donations.

Well said sir!
I’m all out of give a fucks about GOP politics. It’s a scam. Trumps motives are mostly good I think but GOP is done nationally. None of them win in 24 because the Party went along with mail voting and drop boxes.
So the Trump run is mostly a kamikazi mission. If he manages to sink a commie aircraft carrier and a GOPE battleship before flaming out, all good by me.

Nothing can even begin to get better until there is a credible political opposition to the lawless adhocracy. They don't even have to win out of the gate, they just have to start by existing, and by engendering the rage of the populace at their inevitable martyrdom. Such an opposition can't possibly contain figures like Pence or McConnell. However things have to shake out to make that happen, that's what needs to happen.

Prager:
With rare exceptions, the party that calls for censorship is lying. People who tell the truth can deal with dissent and different opinions. In fact, truth-tellers welcome debate.
If this theory is correct—and I cannot imagine a valid argument against it—it means that in virtually every instance of a Left-Right difference, the Left is lying.
There is no important area of left-right difference in which the Left—not liberals; the Left—does not call for shutting down dissent.

So the Dems are going to have to figure out who to run against him.
1. Biden will insist that he's just fine and able to run and he will fight any attempts at removal as will DOCTOR!!! Jill Biden.
2. Kamala and Buttigieg will insist that it's their turn.
3. Newsome has support from Pelosi.
So the news media will be grumpy because they have to do their jobs again. I expect the fact Trump said the word "Pussy" will be brought up and should he serve a second term, demands to impeach him for saying it will happen before February.
That being said, good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday.

Jared Polis is now the high priestess of the Church of Perpetual Public Health Emergency Governance, conveniently waiting until three days after the election, to amend and extend his Executive Order from 2021 (D 2021 122) which had at the time renewed the state of emergency for COVID, to now include RSV and a host of other viral illnesses.
Executive Order D 2022 044:
"On November 11, 2022, I expanded the disaster emergency to include RSV, influenza, and other respiratory illnesses due to the serious increases in infection and hospitalization throughout the State."

Donald Trump will no more be President in 2025 than in 2021, and for the same reason of overt vote fraud.
But that's fine. If the West wants to survive they'll put him in office ASAP, and if the West is locked in a murder-suicide pact it can keep claiming that Russia bombed Poland, or some stupid thing.

As many have pointed out, we can't vote our way out of this. We also can't cheat our way out of this. In case you haven't been paying attention, we have a two tier justice system. One is for us. The other is for the Uniparty. So, you harvest ballots for the GOP. If caught, the GOP will denounce you. The DOJ will imprison you. If you somehow avoid all of that, the IRS will hound you and local authorities will make your life a living hell.

It's funny that Muslim parents were able to get pornographic(!) books for school kids taken off the shelves. Had that been a loud mob of white parents, the books would still be sitting there in all likelihood. I think about that porno thing in school books, which has really turned into a thing apparently, and want to go back a mere 10 years and ask people then if they'd ever believe we'd be putting this filth on the shelf for our children. It boggles the mind how depraved America has become.

Meh, the best I can do at 6:30 in the morning but I think the point is made. If the Democrats are going to eviscerate election integrity to the extent that they are able to and quite eager to harvest ballots, forge ballots and harvest forged ballots without any need to verify their legitimacy, why don't we do the same?

We should. A lot of Republicans will go to prison if we do, but it will also force those prosecutions. Not a single Democrat will be prosecuted, of course, but a few "stolen" races where Republicans win might actually force a change to election law. That is step 1.
Step 2 is harder, which is enforcing those changes, but you have to start somewhere. And playing by the rules is where you *don't* start in a game where the opponent cheats. You either cheat, too, or you walk away from the table.

Thinking about how I'm feeling this morning about Trump running, and I'm happy about it, whether he wins or loses. The fact that all these A-holes are already coming out against him, including people he trusted, saying that he's the only republican that can lose, just makes me smile. I guess I'm feeling petty and vindictive. They want so badly for us to forget about the MAGA movement, they desperately want things to go back to the way it used to be before Trump exposed them. I won't do it, the GOPe can kiss my grits. They've taken my voice, my vote and helped destroy our Country all while calling me a bigot, nazi, racist and terrorist. I would rather they all go down in flames and cleanse the Rino's then to vote for anyone "they" think is "best"

This means that all three of the fuckups are going to continue in their role to fuck up 2024 as well. There will be no lessons learned and the GOP will get beaten up and their lunch money stolen by the Dems again.
But then their job isn't too win, it's to stop Trump.

Feds don't get a COLA...only retirees do.
I'm sure NoVA wishes they got a COLA.
As for raises, they are set by the Pres unless Congress changes them. With only 1 of 2 houses, it's not likely the raises will stop, although since they are 40% of the stated inflation rate right now, I don't think feds are excited about them...
Posted by: Nova local at November 16, 2022 08:04 AM (exHjb)
It's semantics. Yes - COLA is for retirees and Social Security. But fed employees almost always get a GPI (General Pay Increase) each January. Then there are adjustments in "locality pay". The GPI and locality adjustments for fed employees are usually referred to (incorrectly) as a COLA.

Correction - the stated raise from the president includes BOTH the general pay and locality pay increase. So, next year's raise.of 4.6% is 4.1% general and .5% locality. I can tell you feds are NOT happy...
Now, there are step increases, but for a lot of 40+ federal employees, they get stepped out, so they don't see those (very) small increases anymore...

Candidates do not matter if ballots are not controlled. No republican will ever win in a swing state until things are controlled. DeSantis will belong to donors as Ken Griffin of Citadel told us two weeks ago. Trump won't. Trump endorsed 235 candidates this year and 219 won. Many of you are being gaslit and purposely beaten down by negativity.
Be proud the most uncontrolled patriotic American announced he is running again as you know exactly what he will do, namely make us energy independent again which is the root of all of our problems.

FBI Director Won't Say If He Had 'Confidential Human Sources' 'Dressed as Trump Supporters' at Jan. 6 Insurrection
-------
Was he asked if he had "Confidential Human Sources" embedded with the Domestic Terrorist BLM & Pantyfa groups before, during, or since the "mostly peaceful" Summer of Burning, Looting, & Murder?
/rhetorical, why would he be -- that's State-approved domestic terrorism, amirite?

Just like Ross Perot was the spoiler to keep out the R when the D was awful.
It is a well known fact that D's, already wired up with a communal mindset, will rally around the most depraved candidate (helps when D's have no morals or ethics to inhibit them); OTOH R's are fickle tend to be more independent and at times like to remind themselves of how independent they are by voting for other party losers and flakes.

I voted for Perot in 1992. Didn't really matter in MD - Slick Willie was gonna win over GHWB here anyway. But you are correct - nationwide, Perot took more votes away from GHWB ("Read my lips!") than he did from Clinton.

Frankly I'm put off by the animus against him which brands him as a failure for not anticipating an enemy whose vastness and depravity very few of us even imagined.
------
When Trump was elected in his race against the murderous gangster Clinton and her flying monkeys in the GOP, I thought it was impossible to have a lower opinion of the Party & State than I had, or to fear their enormous power more than I did.
Subsequent events proved that their reach, their grasp, and their wickedness extended beyond even my own darkest suspicions.
That whole experience finished off my desire to try and repair the system. I saw behind the curtain, and sorry - this isn't fixable. Not by Trump, or any elected official, or group of them.
Blaming him for the absolute, historic disaster this country has become is silly. The ship of state was already reefed when he climbed aboard.

GOP scenario for 2024: They will support Pence, and the Media will run endless stories about how Pence is "the reasonable one, the one who can bridge both sides of the country" etc etc etc. Everyone will say, "Say, this Pence guy may be our only chance--the Media likes him." And Pence gets the nomination.
The Media then immediately turns on him and there are nothing but terrible stories and "revelations" from then until election day. Biden is "elected" with the biggest vote count in history.
The Dems know how to play the game.

That was Perot's plan. He had a tax free zone created by the crook Jim Wright in Texas, and NAFTA made it nearly worthless. He ran only to ensure that Bush lost. Then Clinton offered his wife's company a chunk of social security payment processing business if he would run again in 1996, since Clinton knew he would not get 50%.

Pence's lack of courage put him in danger.
He was on the battlefield and he failed to show an ounce of leadership. I've said many times that I believe what he was specifically asked to do was unconstitutional and precedent setting in a bad way. That's not my issue. My issue is he failed to speak out regarding specific instances of fraud and election tampering by Democrat officials. We needed that clear, cogent voice at the time to explain what happened and why the election was fraudulent. Instead we got the circus which seems to follow Trump, including many lawyers of questionable repute and capability. Pence could have been the voice in the wilderness. He has the perfect background to clearly explain what happened. He didn't. Instead he thought about self over sacrifice. When the moment came, he failed miserably.

"May your unfailing love come to me, Lord, your salvation, according to your promise; then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word."
Psalm 119:41-42
The problem I have with reading the Psalms is that in the back of mind I know the author was an absolute horrible human being that murdered tens of thousands of people, left hundreds of thousands homeless, fatherless or orphans, burned down cities, slept with whatever women he didn't murder, had absolutely rotten children, murdered his friends, lied and God only knows what other sins he committed, but he was considered "a man after God's heart" mainly because David didn't kill Saul, but executed the guy who reported it.

166 Well, the Republicans have won the U.S. House, with 219 of the 218 needed for a majority. Ten races are yet to be decided, so that majority could grow.
This is a major power shift.

It's certainly enough to curb the Democrats' legislative excesses the rest of the way. I would have high hopes for the investigative powers of the GOP marjority, but I don't know how many times they're going to let me down. Clips of Representatives ripping into corrupt Deep Staters are fun and all, but nothing ever comes of it.
Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me chicken soup with rice.

I can see Trump getting some blame, but it's minor. If he gets 10% McConnell and McCarthy very 45% a piece.
Candidates that Trump endorsed did very well, and in some places they were hurt by McConnel.
Oz did better than any other Republican would do in today's PA. He was hurt by Fetterman being able to delay debating until many absentee ballots were already in. Debate 2 weeks earlier and Oz wins.
Masters was hurt by McConnell pulling money, and not because of the money, but thre optics of McConnell having no confidence in him, which probably swayed some mccain voters . if McConnell didn't pull money, or hell just gave a fraction to begin with, Masters wins

220 That was Perot's plan. He had a tax free zone created by the crook Jim Wright in Texas, and NAFTA made it nearly worthless. He ran only to ensure that Bush lost. Then Clinton offered his wife's company a chunk of social security payment processing business if he would run again in 1996, since Clinton knew he would not get 50%.

One problem with Trump though is now there's no winning unless he drops out or he somehow gets barred from running.
DeSantis could beat him handily in the primaries and it'll screw Desantis because a portion of Trump supporters will be bitter and refuse to vote, while i think many DeSantis voters would still vote for Trump. So now it's either Trump is the nominee or Trump is forced out by his own accord or the Democrats, Republicans can't be seen as beating Trump

Oz would make a good congressman in 2024, take out crazy Susan Wild in Chester county. Who barely won.
Hous is probably to small for Oz Though. Phony Catholic Casey up in 2024. But hard to beat

Good for President Trump that he is going to fight again. Nobody stood with him during the steal. Almost every repub congresscritter reacted with, “ Yeah, something is hinky, but ewww, let’s just move on and let the dems do whatever the heck they want anyway.”
1st Rule of Fighting the dems/left: NEVER give in or even admit they have a point. Treat them as the non-entities they believe us to be.
Pence may or may not have had any legal power to do anything, but he caved and went over to the other side…unless, of course, he was already there all along and just showed his true colors.

Oh, I have data now on voting patterns in each state. And the numbers are eye opening. I'll probably do a post on it when I can sit down with a spreadsheet.
In Florida, where Trump won handily in 2020, the Republicans overperformed by 10 points.
But in Pennsylvania, Democrats over performed 2020 by 1 point.
This is, of course, a result that has never happened in the entire history of the United States. Understanding why is going to take time.
But it destroys all the narratives they are trying to push. If it was anti MAGA, why did O' Dea lose? If it was abortion, why didn't Dems do better in FL, OH, and TX? If it was anti-Trump why not nationwide? How come MAGA candidates won in CA? If it was turning off moderates and independents, explain the wins in FL, NY, CA, OH, etc. Why did AZ flip two congressional seats, yet voted for Democrats for statewide offices?

The link is to a January 7, 2021 press release issued by the Capitol Police, identifying fourteen people who had been arrested and charged with crimes during the protest on January 6.
Trump knew that these people had been arrested while trying to stop the steal and he did not pardon them.

But it destroys all the narratives they are trying to push. If it was anti MAGA, why did O' Dea lose? If it was abortion, why didn't Dems do better in FL, OH, and TX? If it was anti-Trump why not nationwide? How come MAGA candidates won in CA? If it was turning off moderates and independents, explain the wins in FL, NY, CA, OH, etc. Why did AZ flip two congressional seats, yet voted for Democrats for statewide offices?

1/6 was already too late.
Immediately after the election, it was crystal clear that we had just been through a Color Revolution. The one way to fight back? Protest. Just show up. Not in a handful of Stop the Steal rallies and one or two big ones in DC. Show up in the streets everywhere and just let your numbers be seen, day after day after day. Like what is happening in Brazil right now. We did not do that and when it was mentioned to our side, it was readily dismissed. The whole mood of the country was weird in those days after the steal, but we did NOT show up in numbers…and I was at a few Stop the Steal rallies, all prior to 1/6. I begged so many people to come to stand with us and couldn’t get anyone to come out. There is no safety in numbers if there are no numbers.

Moving to electric vehicles, as it appears we are determined to do, will have no measurable effect on global greenhouse gas emissions. ...
Concerning the Great Elec-Trick
-
I'll say it again.
China is driving the United States' insistence on forcing EVs on our population and market. The US is following their timeline, the timeline established by the communist leadership for mainland China. Our manufacturers want it because China is the largest market and there is a ton of money waiting for them, and they aren't going to make two powertrains. Politicians are bought, manufacturers are bought. EVs win.
I have $100 that this has been a long-term goal by China to reduce our productivity and help damage our economy while theirs continues to get stronger without being hamstring-ed by silly environmental laws. I have no doubt that if you look at Global Warming money spent over the last 30 years that most of the research dollars promoting it could be connecting to communist China.

It's the valorous, right, and noble thing to do and will provide a personal, experiential, undeniably demonstrable awareness of freedom, strength, and American greatness to which future generations can aspire.

None of that would have been possible in an EV.

On cashless society- wife and I went out of town two weekends ago. We were at a Safeway the morning after a powerful windstorm knocked out a lot of power. The internet was out at Safeway but the power was still on so payments were cash only. I was prepared but many others were scrambling for the atms or searching there pockets.

DeSantis is the man they consider an existential threat - because of his record in FL.
Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&&

Well, perhaps in the smoke filled rooms of theDemocrat Inner Party. But not so much in the general population. I think you may be overestimating the name recognition of DeSantis of the average Dem in the streets. But they all know who Trump is, and he is their bugbear, their obsession, their "thing that goes bump in the night" and will be the focus of all their hate. Turning it up to ELEVENTY!!! will seem like Moonlight Sonata by comparisosn. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing will ever change, so what's the point of bitching about it or picking fights with other members of the horde. Let's just have pet threads and cooking threads and book threads and leave the politics to the Dems.

Because ballot dumps in the middle of the night that overwhelmingly favor one candidate, the DEM candidate in all instances, is perfectly normal and shouldn't be given a second look. Ever.
Don't you turn off your mobile device, remove its battery, then don a ski mask and surgical gloves when you take your moving box full of ballots to the drop box in the middle of the night?

But that's OK, we're fine with handing Biden and Harris 4 more years as long as it means destroying the GOP. The Dems want one party rule. It's clear die-hard Trump supporters are willing to help them; after all, getting revenge is more important than the future of the country.

This raises a question for me. If you're fine with it because it will destroy the GOP (I am. I am lukewarm on Trump this time around, but I am firmly anti-GOP), how is running GOP-friendly candidates conducive to anything other than one-party rule anyway? Given the past 10-15 years of every Democrat objective being achieved and every Republican objective being stymied (other than Trump's EOs and an occasional tax cut) despite shifts in Party power throughout, what value is there to saving the GOP under current conditions? How is ensuring GOP power in the next cycle different from ensuring DNC power in the next cycle?

321 >>Trump rewarded their loyalty by... not pardoning them.
Not to say Trump couldn't have done more, but. . . can a POTUS pardon someone who hasn't been convicted (apart from Clinton) while ALSO being impeached?
Posted by: Lizzy
---------
Yes. Since Reconstruction the Supreme Court has ruled that a pardon is valid if issued at any time after the crime occurs. You don't have to wait for the defendant to be arrested, charged or convicted.
Also, impeachment does not limit the president's powers. Just FYI, Trump pardoned 73 people on January 20, including corrupt former Democrat mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick... and LIL WAYNE. He pardoned a Democrat and a drug-abusing rapper before he pardoned any January 6 protestor.
There are answers/excuses for why Trump didn't pardon the January 6 protestors, but none of them are any good.

There's no "whatever" to it. Go look at when Buick is not making any more ICE vehicles. It's the same year China requires 40% of all vehicles sold in China to be electric.
Guess who is the biggest American brand in China? Go ahead. Guess.
Same as gas cans that don't work and tons of other products that we suffer through because California is filled with idiots, manufacturers aren't going to make two powertrains. They're going to make one. You are going to buy what they offer. And they're offering what they offer because of China.
They couldn't care less what you could or couldn't do. That's not their problem.

I look forward to ever winding road of proping up Biden the puppet for the next two years. This should be fun. They printed a quasi political victory with fake employment numbers and fake inflation numbers. The truth will out and the economy will bite them for the forseeable future. Please note - High Tech/Silicon Valley held off on their mass firing campaigns until the unemployment numbers were released. They seem to have fired somewhere around 200k workers. That will be reflected in the next unemployment report. Until you see the cost of milk and eggs go down don't believe we are on the mend.

Shitting on everything that is Trump because of what he did or didn't do on Jan 6th is ignorance.

Just to get out ahead of any of the people who think I'm a NeverTrumper or a BidenFellator or something...
If Trump gets the nomination, I hope he wins. I think he *can* win if he gets the nomination (although I think it would take the economy going into the toilet at least as bad as in 2008 to overcome the dislike that swing voters have for Trump). But I don't think he's the right choice. I don't think he was a particularly good president beyond his Supreme Court picks. He's better than anyone the Dems put up, though.

"....I want to fight back but how do we do that..."
Exactly as Martin Luther King --except that we are the oppressed MAJORITY!!!--resolute, peaceful civil disobedience.. Confrontation changes culture. Our old ways of working, living, voting, hoping are not working. We are being called upon and compelled , en masse, to act. And we must act YUGELY and forcefully and relentlessly. Now.
DiF says there is not path to 270. He's right...... unless we shift the paradigm. when the MAJORITY goes into kamikaze civil disobedience mode--all things are possible.

Dave, I never thought you would be a doomer. We were in much worse shape after 2012. Obama won Fl, Ohio, and Iowa twice. Nc and Indiana once. All deep red now
We won 63 house seats in 2010, and barely kept the House, and lost senate seats in 2012.

Trump will never be allowed in the White House ever again. Not even as a visitor. The CIA will JFKill him if he even comes close. He caught everyone by surprise in 2016. That will never happen again.If you think you have seen the full power of the Deep Death State you have seen nothing yet.
Regardless, the GOP will not save the US. Nothing will. The destruction of all of Western Civ is coming. Minions of Satan rule this world absolutely.

We won some races this cycle in Overtime. Az-1 we came back. Hopefully Boebert too.
*******
There has not been any update to vote totals in Boebert's race since last Thursday. They are waiting for some overseas or military ballots and perhaps some "cured" ballots (lacking a postmark or signature or otherwise provisional) that should be done by tomorrow. She holds a narrow 1100 vote lead. Either way it will almost certainly go to an automatically triggered recount.

One thing I noticed about watching Air Disasters is the chain of incidents that led to the crash.
It's never just one thing.
Yet if only one of the incidents didn't happen, the crash may have been avoided.
Tenerife is a perfect example:

So, cheating is now as certain to happen as it was impossible 8 days ago? Maybe.
You are conflating election strategeries.
For something local such as representative, there is a very simple cheating plan - mostly through gerrymandering solid districts in favor of The Party.
For State-wide elections, or for grabbing the Winner Takes All electoral votes, you just need to corrupt the hell out of a major metropolitan area - sort of like Chicago, Maricopa County in Arizona or Harris County in Texas.
For the Presidential Sweepstakes, the cheat is in turning over a swing state through the same process as any other state-wide election. Think of 40+ states as virtually gerrymandered into R or D leaving less than 10 states that need to be corrupted. Find the major metropolitan areas or overload your already corrupt districts so that there is 100%+ turnout for your candidate and off to the White House you go.

Eeoyre - I didn't say it was cheating. It is the equivalent of the Daly machine in Chicago. Cheating is part of it, but not the real issue.
The GOP is unprepared to respond, and the leadership votes are proving that they won't learn.
So they will lose 2024 no matter who the nominee is. And for the record, Trump is a net positive. He brings in more working class voters than he motivates Democrats to vote. Not that Democrat opposition needs Trump on the ballot any longer, those votes are automatic

There were crimes committed on Jan 6th whether we like it or not. Trump not issuing a blanket pardon to all involved without any evidence whatsoever would've been a bit foolish, in my opinion, as we KNEW there was pAntifa and FBI stooges there. Giving them a free pass wasn't logical.

Posted by: Ziba

There's no question that Trump could have pardoned everone who committed a crime against the United States at the Capitol on January 6. So take that question off the table. The answer is YES.
I raise it as an issue because it tells us quite a bit about Trump. (1) Does he fight the Deep State? No, he does not, because he did not strike a blow against the Deep State's attack on his supporters. (2) Does he care about his supporters? No, he does not.
Pardoning the January 6 protestors was a simple test for Trump that he failed bigly. Leaving his supporters in prison should be disqualifying for re-election.

"Identity politics aims to humiliate ‘whites’ by constantly accusing them of their presumed ancestors’ role in things they didn’t do themselves.
Yes, while the attacks on "whiteness" are simply attempts to get weak-minded, insecure, lowIQ white voters to constantly crawfish away from traditional values and MAGA, these attacks more importantly are-
communist inspired attacks on the "Middle Class".
Our Betters hate hate hate your bougie asses because you can live without them and their "inspired" guidance.

If Trump moves ahead with his plans to run I would hope during the next 18-24 months he begins spilling the beans on the deep state and 2020. Do as much political damage as possible. The Republicans need to be outed every bit as the Democrats. If the election is already fixed, burn it down.

Don't get me wrong; it's okay to be concerned about election fraud. But too many Republicans spend too much time *campaigning* on it and complaining about it. That stuff doesn't move the needle with swing voters. What needs to happen is this:
(1) Win the election by getting enough swing voters to vote for you that the election goes beyond the Margin of Stealing
(2) Fix the fraud issues once you get in office.

I'm going to say this as gently as possible. It doesn't matter if Trump runs or not. Republicans can't win in 2024. The election is over before it has started.
Posted by: Dave in Fla (there is no path to 270)
I've long quipped that "Trump is Moses". This is more true now than ever. I agree with you, Dave, that 2024 is lost to us, as it stands right now. That being the case, Trump still needs to run, to show the next generation of Republicans how to win (even in losing), and to expose the deep corruption on both sides - but especially ours. The institutional GOP - the conservative media, the 'conservative' foundations, and the 'conservative' politicians - are rotten to the core, and all closet globalists.
DeSantis and Youngkin are wasting their time if they try to run in this environment. Unless the infrastructure gets a major upgrade, they are doomed in '24. Fix it, and run in '28. They are the new Joshuas. Maybe.
Fix it faster, and maybe - maybe - Trump can win.

Yep. My father lasted 30 days on Iwo and was shot through the lung on the last day of battle by Jap in a spider hole. They evacuated him to a hospital ship and put him on top of some filing cabinets and forgot him for a day. Finally someone noticed he was an officer and took him to surgery. There were so many wounded they could'nt keep up.

What we lack are people with courage. It's a disease that has infected our entire society, even apparently this place. We also lack people with the fortitude to get off their ass and help change things. With their own two hands, or with the brains that God gave them. It doesn't happen while you're sitting on your couch, or typing on the internet. It happens by getting your hands dirty. And frankly, the people winning right now, the people constantly criticized and characterized as effeminate losers, are kicking the ass of the loafers, which includes a lot of the so called Republican by voters.

Jonah - not a doomer, a realist.
Could Trump win in 2024? Sure he could, if the GOP learned the lessons of 2020 and 2022 about taking on the Democrat machine. They know how to do it in FL and CA.
But right now, they refuse to learn the correct lessons and do the hard work. Continuing with McDaniel running the RNC is a sign they haven't a clue.
Between now and 2024 I'll look for signs the GOP knows how to play this game, but as of right now...

It isn't just cheating. As Dave has pointed out, GOTV is also a problem that the GOP has no interest in trying to solve. There is a lot of cheating and it is endemic in cheat-by-mail states, but there's also the problem of a lot of voters sitting it out, particularly in the Upper Midwest. There are a lot of people who will vote for Trump but won't vote otherwise. Those people are loudly ignored by the Party. If the GOP cannot win at scale without Trump voters - and it appears that they probably can't - then the GOP needs to court them.
The message is pretty easy, as are the policies. They care about trade, immigration, the business environment and local services (namely education). They care about these things because those things hit them directly in their jobs, in their kids' classrooms, in their towns. They are not traditional GOP voters because the GOP has not traditionally done anything they care about beyond the occasional tax cut. If there's any hope of victory and overcoming the cheat-by-mail states, the GOP cannot ignore the non-GOP "Trump voter." It doesn't have to be him, but it does need to be his message. And they need to court it hard with targeted efforts.

How was Trump to know WHO to pardon in the two short weeks he had left?
Posted by: IrishEi
-------
Everyone. Pardon everyone who could commited a crime against the United States on January 6, 2021 in or within 500 feet of the Capitol.
"But what about people who committed real crimes?" you might ask.
Too bad. Better that 9 guity men go free than one MAGA Patriot be jailed for trying to stop the steal. Which is of course the correct move: hundreds of good people have been charged with bullshit crimes. I'm not seeing anyone who actually deserves to be in jail.
You expect Trump to go gloves-off and fight the Deep State? Well it's going to take big moves, big bold fuck-you's to the Deep State. And pardoning everyone is what is needed.

No one knows what the next two years will bring.
But it's not going to be pleasant at all, not with the yahoos currently in power.
And right now, for a lot of us, getting through what looks like a very cold winter is what concerns us most.
I thank God every day that I live in a well-insulated home with the ability to crank up the heat.
I no longer take that for granted.

Pardoning the January 6 protestors was a simple test for Trump that he failed bigly. Leaving his supporters in prison should be disqualifying for re-election.

I don't share this view. By 2024 people will be looking for an out of the Junta. Further, in 2024 Dems have to defend a shit ton of seats. That was not true this go round.
It may take an economic crash to make this work. Consider that Zuckerberg pumped hundreds of millions into voter fraud movement, that Bezos, the Disney Cartel and a host of other multi-billionaires threw money into getting the junta into office. Consider that the ramp up on censors and censorship was costing Twitter millions per day in salary expense.
With a collapsed economy, that money for fraud isn't flowing so much, especially since these billionaires got ass raped by their chosen candidate. The money isn't there for FTX, it isn't there for the swarms of censors and propagandists.
In that sense, it may change.

None of the answers are good. It's one of:
(1) Trump's idea of loyalty only runs one way. You must be loyal to him, but he doesn't reward your loyalty.
(2) He didn't realize he could, in which case he's dumb.
(3) He doesn't care about his supporters.
(4) He doesn't actually care about fighting the deep state.
(5) He wanted to but he let swamp creatures talk him out of it
(6) He lacked the courage to put himself at risk to help his supporters

The closing article on the "Three Furies", the women intellectual leaders who set the course for libertarian thinking in America, has this great quote from Ayn Rand
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote ... the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities.
Nowadays, lefties believe Individual Rights are obstacles to government enforcement of equal outcomes in human endeavor. So, pretty exactly the opposite of Rand.
We are being overwhelmed in this debate, and by ignorant idiots programmed by indoctrination in education backed up by propaganda in media. Change is desperately needed.

Since President Trump gave a focused bid announcement [by not mentioning all the items that RedState has a hissy fit over], Hoge decried the speech as boring.

I'd like to see our big money guys, Lindell, Thiel, etc, start to fund lawsuits to end mail-in balloting. We always seem to shy away from lawfare as "undemocratic", but these are the battlefields we're on. And we have to play by their lack of rules. Quite frankly I'm surprised Trump hasn't been doing this already. But I know many shysters are afraid of working for him now.
At the same time, we should be working to both use and break those states with mail in voting. Cloward and Piven their systems, so the flaws become so obvious, they will demand reform for self preservation.

People on both sides are way over-interpreting this election.
For Republicans, good candidates won, or at least did well (let's face it, NY governor was always a stretch, even with a great candidate.)
But bad candidates lost.
I'm sorry if this triggers people who are really into Trumpy behavior and think it signals authenticity or fighting spirit or whatever. But candidate quality matters, and one of the prime measures of candidate quality is the ability to avoid stepping on your own d***.
You think Kelly Ayotte or Chris Sununu wouldn't have beaten Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire? Either would have won, pretty easily IMO. But Don Bolduc running around doing things like claiming the largest high school in the state was setting out litter boxes for kids who identify as cats (false, and easily disproven) was always going to be a heavy lift for non-crazy voters.
Nominate a normy and not a nut for PA governor, and Oz isn't dragged down in a very winnable race. Herschel Walker? That's the best we've got? Sarah Palin splitting the R vote in Alaska is a good idea...why? Because "Fight!" or something?
Elections in our two-party system are a zero-sum game.

Republicans need to run on stronger message and less nane calling. You'd think it would be obvious when liberals are trashing the country and it's traditions and castrating kids, but unfortunately it isn't. Public school education is so poor now, we really need to educate people that western technology and management is what lifted the world out of subsistence living. It's why there are 60M people in south africa, not 600k. We need to explain to people that trans is the new skinhead, except tattoos are only skin deep and hair can be regrown. We really need to explain the basics to people. Trump is loved by many because as Chapelle noted, he is an honest liar: "I know the game is rigged because I've used it". "Not paying taxes makes me smart. Change the laws if you want, but you won't because you take advantage of it too". More of that and less name calling.

Do you people honestly think that because this issue is so thorny that there has never been a like scenario in the past instances where we met and prevailed?
Grow the fuck up.

Frankly I'm put off by the animus against him which brands him as a failure for not anticipating an enemy whose vastness and depravity very few of us even imagined.
By 2020 he should have been ready for the Dems to try vote fraud, and to actually fight back against it, not just make speeches
Instead the FBI was working with Facebook to suppress information that hurt Democrats.
Why?
Because Trump sucks at personnel
It's not a job that you can do on your own, but with his left wing daughter and son-in-law, he's never going to get the Right wing staff he needs

Trump failed
He failed again this year.
Why wasn't he spending $100 million working to catch Dem vote fraud?
Trump is all about Trump. And while that was enough to win the election in 2016, it wasn't enough to beat the Deep State. To do that you need a solid team, which Trump does not, and never will, have
Is your goal Trump, or beating the Deep State?
If it's beating the DS, then stop making excuses for Trump

"Two parables: I remember back in the early 70s, some friends of mine went to a Yes concert at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City (now demolished) and had their car stolen. When they went to the cops, the response was "So, steal someone else's.""
Totally off topic (or at least off on a tangent), there are a number of very good bootlegs of that show floating around, and damn, what a great show it was. Hope those friend realize how lucky they are.

Trump hired swamp people every step of the way. He didn't fight for the wall, and didn't really mention it yesterday, and he authorized a vaccine that is poisoning 84% of the country. Does he "love" the country or does he simply love himself? Discuss.
