Ahoy, Liberal Suckers! Bill Kristol Makes New Grifting Pitch to Left-Wing Iranian Billionaire Donors: What We Need Is a Central Coordinating Hub for the #Resistance (and I Can Build That For You)

You didn't really expect him to get a real job, did you?

🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢

NeverTrump has a problem: They failed catastrophically. There was no great secret pool of Liz Cheney Voters or even Nikki Haley Voters. NeverTrump has been selling its "services" to the hard left for nine straight years, promising that if you keep them in champagne and sailor suits, they can deliver the huge NeverTrump vote to the Democrats.

🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢

Well, they didn't deliver. And those left-wing Iranian billionaires are starting to wonder what exactly they're getting in exchange for their millions.

🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢

So Bill Kristol pivots: How about if you pay for an "informal but organized hub for the Trump resistance"?

And who would run such an informal but organized hub? Who would rake in the millions to establish such a venture?

Well, Bill Kristol doesn't say. But since he thought of this brilliant new idea, I bet he'd be willing to take more Iranian money to stand it up.

🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢 🚢

Translation: You’re gonna keep grifting. https://t.co/VDzmUCD7DX

As Kamala Harris was frequently asked: If you have this great plan to fix things, @billkristol, why didn't you already do this with your donors' millions? This isn't Day One, it's day 3,240.

A mandarin class is deeply unAmerican.

A permanent bureaucracy that can ignore the will of the people and the states regarding the direction of policy within the executive branch of the federal government is unAmerican.

A bureaucracy that can never get smaller is unAmerican.

And that's not even touching on the fact that the CIA operates on US soil.

106 Bring back the spoils system.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Spoils system had its issues but compliance with your party when running government was not one of them. In historical reality, a lot of the low level offices were run by a semi permanent staff with the patronage appointment above them.

What parties did not tolerate was some unelected junior bureaucrat going off on their own with actions. Competent people ran things even in machine cities because it would cause society to be unable. The patronage people were there to pay off activists, donors, etc. and ensure compliance within their organization.

The major problem was if a president had corrupt political friends that sought to grift and sometimes break things like US Grant had.

The sad truth is that there really is never going to a 'non partisan' professional set of bureaucrats--in time, they create their own insular incumbent party and exercise their own policies regardless of the people above them.

Even FDR had that problem which is why he found it easier to create new agencies with overlapping powers rather than rebuild the older agencies.

Trouble is, the New Media has more views and allows him to talk directly to the American people. And he has the ear of the kings of New Media, the Elons, the Rogans. They can't break him with the old ways and it scares them.

You could shut down this sanctuary state stuff in about two seconds flat. Thanks to Reagan tying highway funding to raising the drinking age, we know that SCOTUS thinks that's a-okay as long as the funding is tied to an actual expense by the fedgov. If the gov can claim raising the drinking age reduces the amount of money it costs to maintain a highway (dubious, but okay), it's CERTAINLY true that housing illegals raises the cost of education, healthcare, housing etc. etc.

So -- no federal funding for section 8, medicaid, or schools if the state will not affirmatively cooperate with the feds and follow immigration laws. There you go. Done.

191 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously declared that the NRA law was unconstitutional, ruling that it infringed the separation of powers under the United States Constitution.
Posted by: Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism

It was actually done in several cases. One was Schecter Poultry, another was Panama City Refining. Schecter was a delegation case where the Court ruled that defining laws and punishments was a job for government, not private industry groups. Panama City Refining aka hot oil case, dealt with Congress impermissibly granting unlimited power for FDR to declare what was illegal and what was not regarding prices of oil shipping interstate.

Followed the older 20's era, JW Hampton meatpacking case that disallowed Congressional delegation of power to the executive without any intelligible principle for the courts and Congress to oversee how the executive executed the law.

Neither of these decisions were overturned by subsequent court decisions that ended up allowing the National Labor Relations Act, extensive commerce clause powers in Wickard along with the constitutionality of the Agri Adjustment Act, and so on.

I learned on the first day of my AMT program that once you are over 18 it is no longer bullying, it is harassment. Yes they took time to teach that. at a fucking mechanics program.

Oh my, yes. I know a few in Utah personally. They are usually classic loyal republicans that want their leaders to be someone admirable; Trump's celeb schtick, his "icky and tacky" personality, and his shady personal past, embarrassed them. No matter how good the policies were his first term. But the Biden years rocked them.

These were ones I tried to gently persuade. Share news on the murders due to crime and immigration, share the news about the Trump tax cuts that will help them, like no tax on SS. The ad about Kamala supporting the bill that criminalized parents for truant kids, including the sick kids, made a huge mark. Tried to do my part to make it less icky to fill out Trump on their ballot.

Thune's been there at least a decade longer, so in theory he'd have a better grasp of the rules and relationships. Unfortunately, Thune's McConnell's creature, so it will be him.

Scott ran for the leadership role last Congress and got votes. He has Trump's backing, and Mitch has made enemies, especially with Cruz. The whole "$50 million for Hogan and nothing for incumbents" thing does not rub people the right way.

So, that gives people incentive to screw over Mitch's chosen succession plan.

We'll see. Apparently the voting 2 years ago was acrimonious and the losing side refused the unanimous final vote out of spite. And Mitch just made things worse in the ensuing 2 years.

And they spent a bunch of money building out some networks, found "top talent", and copied Rush's format.

Each and every attempt failed.

Why? Because if you want the leftwing spin on any issue of the day you can just turn on the TV or read a big named newspaper. There was no need for yet another leftwing media outlet.

You'd think that a member of the "well-educated" punditocracy would have written a slew of books. Billy K hasn't written a single book by himself, he's edited a couple (meaning that he did some Google searches for articles to paste into the text), and co-wrote one book with a no-name author, which means that his writing partner did all the work.

Sort of like election of the pope.

That being said, Thune is unlikely to be granted the power that McConnell gradually got, especially control of campaign money (which all senators are required to send and raise money for), and absolute control over the amendment procedure for floor votes.

If Thune gets it, I think he is not going to have the clout that McConnell had. The fun thing is neither is a lot of McConnell's staff which are as bad as their master.

546 Jovovich is attractive in an .. offbeat way, I guess is the way I’d put it..

I remember her being surprisingly buck naked in some Resident Evil movie.

The movie was trash but, uh, that part was a highlight.

Uh -- no.

Seriously, I have never heard of this.

552 We'll see. Apparently the voting 2 years ago was acrimonious and the losing side refused the unanimous final vote out of spite. And Mitch just made things worse in the ensuing 2 years.

I think the breach in protocol in denying Senate campaign funds to Senator Cruz and blowing millions for a useless race by non senator Hogan in MD will cause senators to trim whoever becomes majority leader's sails by denying them that level of control in the future. Normally, the senate caucus always reserves its funds for its own members first and then to the most likely races to win.

Mitch got obsessed with ideological control by purposefully squashing outsiders and I think that is probably at an end with whoever takes the reins. Mitch lost, Tea Party is getting its revenge.

Second, Mitch exercised an abnormal level of control over fellow senators in his caucus regarding floor amendments to bills having to go through him for approval in most cases. I think that power is going to be stripped as well.

The US would be far better served if the party leaders in Congress are weakened in favor of seniority and committee chairs than by strong party leaders.

556 I think they had a reliable lefty broadcaster in Jimmy Dore. But even he couldn't put up with their b/s anymore.

Jimmy was one of the many on the Young Turks back in the day. Dave Rubin was another. At some point they got purged and formed their own shows which probably are doing better than TYT which the algorithm doesn't show me for some reason.

I watch his show every so often, he's liberal but it is the older style and he's pretty honest even when the dirty tricksters go after Trump. Its a good window on what the last of the old style left thinks of things, and some of their contacts have inside info on the left press.

558 Zombie, Jan. 6 was the date of the rally in DC that went sideways, with the "we're like the tea party!" freedom LARPers taking over the capitol. (the crowd was possibly let in my capitol police, who held doors open for them, and there were CIA spooks and leftists antifa in the crowd also stirring up the takeover.)

Trump was speaking like a mile away on the Mall, and stressed for everyone to be peaceful. But the left has used to to claim he stages an insurrection on america. They used it as the excuse to silence him on social media and to start new lawfare. And to jail people as examples to the rest of us.

Between that and the lawfare suits, they wanted to delegitimize him as a lawful president who wants peace. Thankfully the American people saw through the nonsense!

I think one of Trump's goals is to release ALL the evidence of what happened that day un-redacted, and to pardon all the prisoners. I hope so.

Think they have term limits for chairs already for some fresh blood. A lot of turncoats quit when that happened.

561 I know this will sound incredibly stupid, but what do all these references to "January 6" mean? E.g. "How could America elect Trump after January 6?" Uh - didn't we elect him in November? I suspect this refers to something in the past, but I don't know what. (Keep m mind that I have not looked at the news in four years, so I have no idea what has been going on.) Can anyone clue me in?

Posted by: zombie at November 07, 2024 03:39 PM (pMi6S)

Jan 6 was after Trump lost and was an op to try and tar him with insurrection by inviting people into the capitol and lying about it. All because he knew there was massive voter fraud.
