Arrogant Smug Liberal RINO Bill Cassidy Not Only Loses Primary, But Loses It to Two Different Candidates, Getting Shut Out of the Run-Off
Mitt RomneyIf it makes this smug Elmer Gantry pissant cry, it must make the angels smile. Bill Cassidy was a frequent guest on Jake Tapper's unwatched "show," of course. He was usually brought on to, get this, support the Democrats' attacks on Trump. CNN copes and seethes and attempts to defend the Democrats' mole.
@MittRomney The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. Bill Cassidy's departure is a loss for the country.
Trump sent a message by targeting Bill Cassidy. In defeat, Cassidy delivered one backOh it's a moral victory. Awesome.
Oh he was fighting for the future while Trump only cared about the past. Awesome. Cassidy offers two contradictory claims, both which, get this, attack Trump and elevate Cassidy's ego. First, he says that the honorable thing to do after a loss is to just accept it and not whine and make excuses and attack one's opponents as dirty schemers.
Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy wanted his reelection campaign to be about the "present and the future." President Donald Trump had other plans.
"You don't pout, you don't whine, you don't claim that the election was stolen ... you don't manufacture some excuse," Cassidy said. "You thank the voters for the privilege of representing the state or the country for as long as you've had that privilege. And that's what I'm doing right now."Okay I get it, you are better than Trump. Awesome. But then Cassidy immediately... bitches and whines and claims that Trump is a schemer who unconstitutionally used "the levers of power" to defeat a political opponent.
"Let me just set the record straight: Our country is not about one individual. It is about the welfare of all Americans and it is about our Constitution," Cassidy said. "And if someone doesn't understand that and attempts to control others through using the levers of power, they're about serving themselves. They're not about serving us. And that person is not qualified to be a leader."Which is what politics is, defeating political opponents. Isn't it, Bill? You sure thought so when you attempted to boot Trump out of the White House. He's a loser and always has been and I hope his defeat sends a message to the other arrogant, egotistical Fussy losers.
...Cassidy refused to answer questions about whether he'd vote again to convict, now knowing that the entire impeachment case as an op and a frame-up. He's just too egotistical (unwarrantedly so) to ever admit error. He dodges those question by saying he doesn't want to talk about the past, only the future, in a line cribbed from noted moral stateswoman Hillary Clinton. Trump wasn't buying it. And he's now saying: ON TO MASSIE!
Cassidy became the first GOP senator to lose renomination in close to a decade, a remarkable downfall that shows again how Trump dominates the party.
Cassidy, who pats himself on the back for not whining and making excuses, whined some more and made some more excuses by complaining about people "attacking me on the internet," which is totally the sort of thing that a forward-thinking future-focused statesman should spend his nights obsessing over.
"His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it's nice to see that his political career is OVER!" Trump wrote Saturday night on social media.
In backing Letlow against Cassidy, Trump achieved something he has not done yet in his extraordinary political career: defeat a senator from his own party in a primary. It came as he looks to unseat one of the biggest GOP mavericks in Congress -- Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie -- in a House primary Tuesday. Trump was quick to draw a connection between Cassidy and Massie. In a Truth Social post early Sunday morning, Trump said Massie "is an even bigger insult to our Nation than" Cassidy and reiterated support for Massie's primary challenger, Ed Gallrein.
Bill Cassidy's wife's dance card is going to be so filled this weekend you guys. Don't imagine that Bill Cassidy is some kind of rock-ribbed True Conservative who only voted to convict Trump because Sacred Honor Compelled Him and He Could Not Do Otherwise. He's a filthy liberal RINO like the rest of the grifter losers:
"Insults only bother me if they come from somebody of character and integrity," Cassidy said. "I find that people of character and integrity don't spend their time attacking people on the internet."
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) on Saturday expressed concern about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) reputation following another fatal shooting in Minnesota. "The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth," Cassidy said Saturday in a post on the social platform X.He has thwarted the MAHA agenda, insisting that every single one of the 70 vaccines a kid gets in the first months of his life are all 100% necessary and that any questioning of this Religious Command from the Gods of The Science (TM) is blasphemy.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his followers scored a big win Saturday when Kennedy's nemesis, Sen. Bill Cassidy, went down in his Louisiana primary. The cherry on top for Kennedy and his Make America Healthy Again movement would be if another Republican doctor in the Senate, Kansas' Roger Marshall, replaces Cassidy next year as chair of the Health Committee. Marshall, unlike Cassidy, is a big Kennedy fan, having founded a MAHA caucus to promote Kennedy's push to combat chronic disease. Whereas Cassidy in confirmation hearings last year grilled Kennedy on his longstanding skepticism of vaccines and has given him a hard time about vaccine policy ever since, Marshall asked God to bless Kennedy and said he'd "never seen a person whose words, written and spoken, have been so misattributed, exaggerated, sensationalized and taken out of context." Three people familiar with Marshall's plans, granted anonymity to discuss his thinking before Cassidy lost his primary, told POLITICO he's been angling for the Health Committee chair for months. An OB/GYN before he got into politics, Marshall has criticized vaccine mandates and supported nutrition-forward health reforms, including a focus on chronic disease prevention. At a Senate Finance Committee hearing in September, Marshall endorsed Kennedy's view that the hepatitis B vaccine is given to babies who don't need it because their mothers don't have the disease. "It makes no sense to me. I've only delivered five thousand babies, but we do a hepatitis test on every mom," he said.

The establishment types, like the "journalists" whose good opinion they so desperately crave, falsely believe that they are some really smart customers. No one believes they are smart, except for they themselves. But they are absolutely convinced on this point. They have argued with themselves about how genius they are and they won that argument with themselves, because they're so wise and persuasive. This leads to their theory of respresentational governance: We, the stupid people who are incapable of higher-level, abstract, future-oriented thought, have elected these Sages and Philosophers to do our thinking for us. When we elect these c**ts, that is the end of our involvement in the political process. Our further thoughts are not welcome because we are so gosh-darn bad at thinking we would just exhaust the lucid minds of Philosopher Kings with our retarded ramblings. The establishment does not seek our counsel, it only seeks our grant of power to it, One Time, after which they will literally never again check in with us. And I say "One Time" because of the fact -- which may be changing (Spoiler Alert) -- that once an establishment c**t has Conned the Rubes into granting them perpetual unchecked power, they essentially have it for life, or until they're found balls-deep inside a 15-year-old boy, because it's very hard to boot an incumbent out of office, particularly in a district or state that is strong for one party. Contrasting with this theory of governance in which the brain-damaged troglodytes of the dirty masses grant power to establishment Philosopher Kings a single time and then let them do what their massively-powerful brains and consciences compel them to do, the brain-damaged troglodytes have a different theory altogether. We don't think we elect these pissant mediocrities to do our thinking for us. We think we've done the thinking ourselves. We think we've done the thinking, and we elect these no-talent, no-accomplishment Student Council Vice Treasurers and Disappointed Theater Kids to heed our thinking and merely do our voting in legislative bodies for us. Now I realize we probably "think" this because our Retard-Brains are glitching and misfiring as usual, but still, we would like to be heard on this point. But, because it's almost impossible to get voters animated enough to vote these self-declared Philosopher Kings out of office in one-party states or districts, the establishment types who believe we've elected them to do our thinking for us been permitted to carry on acting as if we elected them to do our thinking for us, and we have not had any practical, repeatable method of correction and punishment for this grievously false conception of their role in government.
Until now, my fellow morons and brain-damaged troglodytes who have no capacity for higher-level thought.
The Philosopher Kings serving as state representatives and senators in Indiana, which, let's face it, is the government equivalent of a job as Arby's Night Manager, decided that comity with the Democrats and the good opinion of the leftwing media was far, far more important that the voters' decision that redrawing congressional districts was imperative as we close in on the most important midterms in a century. The voters finally got their say. We won't get those lines redrawn, but we will have no representation going forward. ... I'm not so big on praising Trump here, because I didn't really elect him to do my thinking for me, either. But he's right on this issue and extremely right on the question of disciplining and ejecting arrogant, defiant "representatives."

My favorite part about the Romney tweet is the arrogant gall betrayed by it.
"exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. "
Which part of that covers the only job description that matters?
That is, "represent the will of your constituents."
5 years the votes had to sit and stew for their chance to repay that "exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character" for his betrayal.

There is wiggle room here. If all we wanted was mob rule, we'd use a computer to tally the votes of every citizen. In a Republic, the representatives of the people are supposed to engage their brains, and sometimes, yes, vote contrary to what the people say they want. That takes courage, and a willingness to lose one's seat over a matter of high principle. That isn't what we're talking about here, though. Guys like Cassidy and Cornyn just did what they wanted, unless it was close to an election. They chose poorly.

It also makes a difference because of tech. Back in the day, slow communication meant we could not be informed and so the rep was supposed to do what he thinks the people would want, if they did know.
Now, they still want that sealed chamber where they are the only ones who know and can force feed us their stupid retarded reasoning. Fuck you, you're out. Hopefully the next guy actually 'represents' us.

What I hate most about preening moral frauds like Romney, Cassidy and Cornyn is that they view their role as primarily to temper the ambitions and desires of the majority of the Republican voters.
Not the extreme. Not the fringe--the middle, the majority.
Like 80%+ of the party.
And there is no counter-part on the left, no elected Democrat sees their job as bound to keep their voters from enactment of their policy preferences.

It seems to be an article of faith among those angry about RINO defenestrations, but I don't assume an MD is a foolproof indicator of a great mind. I've known lots of MDs who were very bright, and also many who were above average, but nothing special.
The fact that Cassidy didn't see this coming and make corrections strongly suggests he's in the latter camp.

The Democrat elites have largely folded to their leftist DSA activists but the GOPe types defy their base party voters all the time. That is why they have to go and the filibuster be broken, preferably by the GOP while it still has a chance of governing. The old Senate GOP ways of always finding a way to avoid doing what the base wants as policy has to be killed with fire.

The Boston concert is in six days.
Bruce Springsteen's Boston tickets are not selling out likely due to outrage over his high ticket prices, which can reach up to $3,000, making them unaffordable for many fans. Additionally, his political messaging and the perception of catering to wealthier audiences may have alienated some of his traditional fanbase.
I wouldn't worry about it - Boston's not a big college town.

Going to a concert of even a big act in the 90's was like $30. It's now like $400-$500
One of the problems is that concert tours used to be loss-leaders to encourage people to buy records and tapes from the band.
Streaming revenues are much smaller, so the bands have to make their money on the concerts themselves.

In other good news, Bruce Springsteen is having real problems selling his overpriced tickets for his current tour.
____
Can't prices be lowered? Is Springsteen aware of supply/demand curve?

He got hundreds of millions for his catalog enough to go YOLO. He figured that his audience would pay vast sums to come to see and that his political wisdom is a pearl beyond price at his concerts.
I know! He should have Robert DeNiro open for him. Everybody loves his deep insight.

Cassidy is one of the Republicans who tried to sell us down the river during COVID.
And he’s still saying Trump was wrong about the 2020 election being stolen, when with every passing day, and DOJ investigation, that’s being proven true.
They should throw Cassidy down the Capitol steps for his vowing away party

r/TheBulwark
Too bad he didn't lose the primary before the last war powers act vote. Might've been able to end the Iran war and especially seriously piss off Chump
We wouldn't have institutionalized anti-vaccine quackery if he had just voted not to confirm. But he didn't want to upset the Republican party, presumably to keep his job. Now he doesn't have a job and we have anti-vaccine quackery. The worst of both worlds for him and us.
Is there any chance this guy will start voting against Trump? Him and Cornyn both may be left out in the cold, but they still won't oppose all this. It's unreal to watch.
per the NYT, this is a simple case of him being punished for crossing the invincible and triumphant Trump. Whereas in reality it's a case of someone who jettisoned his principles and education and was left with no support.
I would have more sympathy for Cassidy if he weren't such a little bitch. I never voted for McCain, but god damn did I respect that man. I cannot say the same for Cassidy.
McCain would have died telling Trump to go fuck himself. I disagreed with him....but when he died, I did shed a tear for a great American patriot.

Creatively Springsteen died somewhere in the 80's as do most arena rock acts ended up doing.

Can't prices be lowered? Is Springsteen aware of supply/demand curve?
Given Springsteen’s intelligence and proclivities, I suspect they can’t be lowered, not without losing money on every ticket and having to make it up in volume.
As The ARC of History! wrote, concerts are no longer self-serving marketing events for other products. Add to that that Springsteen is a dinosaur probably still spending money and hiring hangers-on like it was the Jurassic Seventies, and there’s not a lot of room to drop prices.
Also, and let’s be honest here, does he really want people in his audience who aren’t well-off enough to afford those tickets?

2) One staffer, after having an affair that he pressured her into, set herself on fire.
3) He said that the reason she committed suicide was because her husband was gay- not the affair.

He is the perfect representative. Not for his state or his constituents. His constituents are the big lobbyists. Telling a TV news host to fuck off is barely an inconvenience. You could see his face dripping with condescension. “How dare he!”

There is a market for nostalgia --in Vegas as a resident. Lots of these old farts are finding that fewer and fewer people actually want to buy a ticket to revisit their youth at nosebleed prices.
These dinosaurs hang on in part because as Rick Beato points out, new bands simply are not being created anymore due to economics. It is all a singer with backing tracks and that singer is autotuned and pitch corrected to within an inch of their actual voice. And now AI is making it even more fake and gay than having some meat puppet on stage miming while the 'band' pretends to play. Even in 'live' shows now as Fil from Wings of Pegasus has demonstrated.
Milli Vanilli has become the norm even for the dinosaurs. If you want that, you can simply watch old music videos on Youtube.

Even smaller acts in smaller towns start at around $50 per person now.
I suspect something similar going on here: people used to go to bars to see a band and get drunk. Local bands were loss leaders for drinking. But if people are spending less at the bar (I don’t know if this is true, I just suspect that it is due to the nature of modern bars) the bar needs to charge more for the band.
I saw a variation on this when I went to guitar school in Los Angeles in the late eighties. Hollywood was a seller’s market, basically, and bands who wanted to get into the trendy clubs had to pay to do so; they had to buy up a certain number of tickets, and then convince their “fans” to use those tickets. It was already very close to the point or past it where a band had to have someone with well-off parents or some other financial backing just to play local clubs.

Cassidy refused to answer questions about whether he'd vote again to convict, now knowing that the entire impeachment case as an op and a frame-up. He's just too egotistical (unwarrantedly so) to ever admit error.

Here's a movie idea guaranteed to win Oscars
The Plantation - American Slavery Reimagined.
The movie records how an Antebellum Southern Plantation was operated, with all its cruelty exposed.
Your cast is dangerously lacking representation from the disabled and queer communities. Might I recommend adding Aariana Rose Philip to the cast? https://tinyurl.com/yk74tdek
As Wikipedia helpfully summarizes, "In 2018, she became the first Black, transgender, and physically disabled model to ever be represented by a major modeling agency, and has since modeled in several major high fashion photo shoots and campaigns."
She(?)'s strong and powerful, so she should be the plantation master.

From Tucker, Me Again, and other less notable assholes on social media, it appears a lot of braindead muzzies, groypers, and bot farms financiers like Qatar, Turkey, etc. like to invest in such creatures.

200 Your cast is dangerously lacking representation from the disabled and queer communities. Might I recommend adding Aariana Rose Philip to the cast? https://tinyurl.com/yk74tdek
As Wikipedia helpfully summarizes, "In 2018, she became the first Black, transgender, and physically disabled model to ever be represented by a major modeling agency, and has since modeled in several major high fashion photo shoots and campaigns."
She(?)'s strong and powerful, so she should be the plantation master.

No, it is this broader thing with some dudes in leadership positions. They look at the people working for them as a salad bar. I always made it a point to tell the guys I trained: never fuck your employees. You are a little dick shitbird if you do. Women love confidence and decisiveness, this is a side effect. They will look at you with the big eyes, but you are a dick for taking advantage of it.
If you can't get a girl out in the world, but are a rockstar at work, what does that say?

Posted by: Pike
Trump has unloaded plenty of times on McConnell, but in 2020, he had reelection going on while McConnell was running for his last term. McConnell is gone by the end of the year and if you haven't noticed, Trump unloaded on a key McConnell staffer the other day.
On Lady Lindsay, Trump does push pull as Lindsay knows he risks Trump's bad side if he goes too far, but yet, due to his constituent service record in South Carolina and the GOP machine there, is unlikely to lose office.
There is NO purity in politics, it is always about means and ends tradeoffs which turns off all true believers.

So, earlier this morning I was sitting in traffic, eating a gas station corndog, when I suddenly realized, eating a corndog in public is actually kind of embarrassing. There's absolutely no way to manly consume a corndog and I felt really self conscious about it.
I think that in the past I have mostly ingested corndogs in the privacy of my own home or together with fellow consenting corndog enjoyers. But suddenly finding myself as a lone guy downing a corndog out and about felt really awkward.
When I think about it now, one thing that gives me solace is that I don't ever remember seeing anyone eating a corndog while they're driving, because I would totally remember that.
"HAHA! look at the stupid mfer eating a gay corndog! HOMOOOO!", I would happily yell.
But I think that the default level of tenting provided with auto windshields not only helps to protect from the harsh sun but also furnishes the driver privacy for their corndog activities.

And now AI is making it even more fake and gay than having some meat puppet on stage miming while the 'band' pretends to play. Even in 'live' shows now as Fil from Wings of Pegasus has demonstrated.
I haven't stepped foot in a concert hall in many years and have no intention of doing so in the future. Why drive 30 miles and pay inflated prices for parking and a ticket to a routine performance where I'm going to be shortchanged?
100 years ago, there were no good alternatives to going to a live performance.
50 years ago, the alternative (LPs) were bulky and not durable.
Today, I can go online and hear for a nominal subscription price a much wider range of works than I could ever hope to hear live.

>>There was a relatively brief period where Rock acts made BANK on album contracts.
The numbers were impressive on paper...but, unless an act managed to retain their rights they weren't going to see anywhere near the contract numbers.

The top act in America is Taylor Swift - a mid level musical talent
And coming up behind her is Sabrina Carpenter who can't actually sing.
Posted by: 18-1
Ahem, there was no such group as the Archies even though a hit single, Sugar Sugar, was released. Then Milli Vanilli, and now we have AI which is going to eat a lot of the music industry alive.
So we will see a return to much smaller scale live acts, I am thinking, as recorded music and even mega concerts get more and more fake stage presentations and the old dinosaur groups finally age out and die.

But in both cases for the wrong reasons. One was mere reflex,,and one was because THEY were the ones who were going to exploit it.
Who knew the R's/Uniparty never intended that thing to stop jihadists or even domestic terrorists, it was always meant to get *us*. For the crime of disagreeing.

Too many of them foolishly sold out their song writing publishing because they needed money. Even for the big groups like the Beatles, Stones, and Who dealt with the likes of Allen Klein trying to grift every nickel he could from the bands. MCA at the time was basically in bed with the mob and did widespread bootlegging of its own artists denying them royalties, etc. by selling off the books copies of their records.
1960's and 70's was a goldmine and Wild West for groups with predatory managers ruining a lot of groups. Similar to the related abuse of stars by their managers in TV.
It caused poor Pete Hamm to kill himself in despair because his manager screwed Badfinger so thoroughly.

The movie records how an Antebellum Southern Plantation was operated, with all its cruelty exposed.
Saw on Insty this morning that Croatia's song for Eurovision this year was explicitly about Muslims enslaving Eastern Europeans (the reason the word "Slavic" exists). That made it very popular with Eastern Europeans and very unpopular with the EU, Macron, and Starmer. Obama's best friend Erdogan apparently filed a formal protest.

Coulter..Her defense of the sex perv is kinda ludicrous. For example, she says that he never voted against he SAVE act! Riiiiiight. He just voted for the rule that would not allow it to get a floor vote! How clever! How transparent, Ann. And the rest of her "defense" is in similar vein. It almost reads like a parody.

Most of them, not all are fixated on blaming Israel and a secret cabal of Jews for all of society's ills. That is what is driving the Epstein hate and fixation. Sort of like Dan Brown's crackpot shit about Catholics.
Ironically one thing you get out of Epstein's emails - he didn't like Israel and he didn't like observant Judaism either.
He was close with Ehud Barak, but that guy was Israel's non-gay Obama so its like all the lefty pols here he was friends with.

314 Ann Coulter was great when she was funny and irreverent. She did a new thing. Then around 2010 she plunged into depths of ridiculous stupidity.
Her well footnoted tomes were immensely informative about the domestic commies among other things, and Godless in particular was a fucking riot.

Epstein was a con man who screwed everyone around him is my conclusion. Never the sort you actually want in intel as an agent. I can see intel and law enforcement used him as an asset (informer or facilitator) but not as an agent because the blowback would be vast from such a guy and the risk he would try to blackmail the IC or FBI. Using him to provide information or facilitate a transaction to launder money for an IC op, I can see them doing that as the IC uses fronts all the time to limit blowback for what they do.
Same as how both the IC and law enforcement use other criminals because otherwise that world is pretty insular and shut off unless you smuggle in an undercover agent at great risk.

What's driving Epstein is that it's an op and being driven.
The story had a ton of potential energy and Trump was maybe gonna get close so they decided to hang the whole thing on him through a series of plants, planned lies and escapades. And *maybe* an AG pulling some otherwise very inexplicable weirdness about it.
And the plan was to use that story to weight down the second term like Russia before it. Trump put a stop to a lot of it by not allowing it to bifurcate his following. But you can't stop talk shows, news, and so-called "comedy" from harping on about whatever they want.
But make no mistake - Bondi's little maneuver was a nice little molotov cocktail to start the whole thing off. Whether purposeful or just through dire naivete we won't know. But I think I know.

Agreed. I think Mike Benz is right in that the real action around him is in the classified CIA files, not the FBI files that were released. And I also think there was ultimately less going on with him then pretty much anyone suspects. He was likely cut loose after Iran-Contra and then did private grifting from there, maybe without telling people he no longer actually represented FedGov.

Now you're gonna take this sh*t sandwich and you're gonna eat it.
Also, the people of the great state of Louisiana completely Liz Cheney'd this f*cker. He didn't come in a close second. Two folks beat the brakes off him in the primary. Seems the people of his state did not feel themselves effectively represented by him.
