Whither our Republic?
Only one side of the ever-widening political divide thus far is willing to persecute the other for the most unremarkable of "offenses", with punishments ranging from social defenestration right through to taking away their opponent's means of providing for themselves and family, and all the way up to actual physical violence in the affirmation of their own golden calves. They take our patience and our forbearance for weakness and press their tyrant's advantage at every turn. Once, however, the walls are truly felt behind the backs of even the most defenseless of oppressed, a remarkable and grim resolve is generally found. Tyrants usually find an end that was impossible for them to foresee: An inexplicable result unaccounted for in the nihilistic actuarial tables of Marxist post-modernism. History books may airbrush out the Left's ubiquitous failures, thus enabling their fatal resurgences, but the lamp-posts remember how once they dangled their morbid ornaments.Comments

Good Morning Morons; today is Saturday, February 16, 2019. On this day in 1959 Fidel Castro became Premier (dictator) of Cuba after dictator Fulgencio Batista was overthrown on January 1. The US supported him until he revealed himself as a communist and a puppet of Soviet Russia.

Also on this date I was in the hospital due to complications from a drug I was taking to shrink my prostate. It didn't work and it had some annoying side effects, like causing you to become dizzy and falling down. I am much better today, but still having problems with prostate.

The Aurora shooter was an employee of that warehouse where he did the shooting and was about to be fired. So all he accomplished was killing 5 people and wounding a bunch of others. As for his job, he was still terminated, but in a different manner. But the gun grabbers will be out in force calling for universal background checks and other incremental useless crap on their way to gun confiscation. Odds are this turd passed background checks.

Democrats in Congress are hoping to remove 'gendered language' from the U.S. tax code to make it more palatable for the gay lobby
This is idiotic, but that is normal for Democrats. How many people out their actually read the tax code? Maybe the tax lawyers do and that is only an extremely tiny fraction of the population. And then, how many of them are gay? This is pure pandering to their base.

Does this end in a happier place or is sacrifice required?

Basically the Trump Presidency is effectively over, he will do what he can given the current political situation, which is a hell of lot more than any Conservative has done since Reagan but what he will do will be at the margins and be completley undone by the next Donk President.
Now this is not to say he can't win re-election but which given the insanity of the Donk side is likely but him being able to affect deep meaningful change is not likely.
The GOP has effectively wasted a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Sad.

It was.
I recall Trumps first act upon taking office was to deliver a balanced budget to congress that basically contained everything so-called conservatives were agitating for for decades..
Balanced budget, ended subs for PP, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, ended funding for NPR, Defunded Obamacare and on and on...
The GOP's reaction?
They told Trump his budget was DOA and go pound sand.
That right there was the first tell...
The subsequent tells were they kept passing CR's even when that puke Paul Ryan swore up and down that they would go to regular order and pass a real honest to goodness budget which turned out to be a lie.
Their is no future for or in the GOP, it is an illegitimate political party of charlatans and grifters much like the Conservative movement as a whole.
We seriously need to find an alternative because we are being consumed and our substance is being hollowed out by a cadre of evil forces that seek to finish the fundamental transformation that Obama started.

I have been studiously looking for the silver lining in current
events (greatly disheartened that our champion SIGNED that f''-ing piece
of excrement called a budget).
Ironically, I find genuine comfort in your grim historical perspective.
I sincerely hope it doesn't come to it, but seriously rough times may be ahead in order to cast down leftist tyranny.

Have you not read the items saying that it was veto proof? It would go into effect whether he signed it or not.

A question.
Do sanctuary cities and counties statistically track crimes committed by illegal immigrants?
If not...how can one offer data to prove that they commit crimes at a lower rate than native born, and legal immigrants?
And what is the effect on crime stats when illegal immigrants have their charges reduced in order to prevent deportation due to the conviction for a serious crime?

Maybe Amazon woke up and saw the NYS tax forms. I live upstate and see that in the NYC area, all kind of taxes which I don't pay. NY City and Yonkers income tax, transit tax, and others taxes...wow.Of course Amazon is probably used to all those taxes. If you do business in NYC and surrounding areas, they get you up the wazoo.

How the Chicoms dealt with their SJWs once they were no longer useful:
"From 1962 to 1979, 16 to 18 million youth were sent to the countryside to undergo re-education.
Sending city students to the countryside was also used to defuse the student fanaticism set in motion by the Red Guards. On December 22, 1968, Chairman Mao directed the People's Daily to publish a piece entitled "We too have two hands, let us not laze about in the city", which quoted Mao as saying "The intellectual youth must go to the country, and will be educated from living in rural poverty." In 1969 many youth were rusticated.Many students could not deal with the harsh life and died in the process of reeducation."

Trump's most valuable service has been the dropping of all the masks. Now, some just refuse to see the GOP for who they are - and they never will, that's just how some people are - but that ain't on Trump.
If that's "demoralizing", so be it. But I'd rather know the truth. I've never appreciated someone pissing down my back and telling me its raining.
Being force-fed a shit sandwich while declaring "Ooh, peanut butter" ain't optimism. It's delusional.

And what exactly is the GOP offering as an alternative??
Open Borders.Unlimited H1B's.Globalism.Permanent Tax Cuts for Corporations.Temporary Tax Cuts for individuals.ObamaCare Light.Endless Wars in Foreign Shit Holes.Defecits and debt as far as the eye can see.
Fun Fact:
The GOP has controlled the House, ie the power of the purse, for 18 of the last 22 years, in that time the debt has gone from just over 4 trillion to over 22 trillion.
So, no, the GOP's program is not a palatable alternative to the insanity of the Donks.
We need a new party and we need it now.

When the president of the United States (POTUS) uses a presidential veto, it doesn't necessarily mean that the bill won't become a law. The US Constitution gives Congress a means to sign a bill into law after a presidential veto has occurred. In order to overturn a presidential veto, both houses in Congress must vote to approve the bill by a two-thirds majority. In cases where a majority votes does not occur, bipartisanship - the act of finding common ground via compromise - can help override the veto by gaining a majority vote. Other alternatives include declaring a law as unconstitutional or ruling against same party affiliation.

We don't think blowing up the only group still trying to hold on is a good idea at this point. Sure the GOP shat the bed in the first two years of this administration. But what good would another party do at this point? Eighty percent of GOP reps are on board with conservatism, maybe ninety percent are. What would abandoning them accomplish other than a name change?

Fake SS numbers help too, the guy works a maintenance job that requires no English and the little pepitos and their mommy get benefits. It's a great system for them to exploit. The hospital system I work for ( 2 more weeks till retirement] was recently acquired by another system and purged its ineligible workers due to the oversight with came with the merger, miraculously we have housekeeping, maintenance and food service people who speak English again. When the govt oversight vanishes, I'm sure they'll once again terminate Americans and green card holders and go illegal

The way I understand it, a bill is passed, and if the President vetoes it, Congress can vote to override the veto. A "veto-proof majority" doesn't mean the President can't veto it or that his veto doesn't count. It just means that Congress can easily override the veto.

Fox can say the vote was by a 'veto-proof' majority, but that does NOT mean it's veto-proof. You have to parse the words slowly and carefully.
'Veto-proof majority' is the hang up you're having.
If the members all voted the second time around the same way, which there is no guarantee of, then the veto would not stand. 'Veto-proof majority' in the first vote prior to veto does not make it veto proof. It's only an indication of support.

You and I support the GOP because there is no alternative to the GOP.
They are not advancing any meaningful agenda.
In the last two years of total control all they managed to do is pass temporary tax cuts and that's it.
Trump has nominated solid conservatives and yes McConnell got them through but as we have seen, the courts as a whole are too far gone for the paltry few conservatives that have been confirmed to be of any utility.
A district judge can stymie a President and by the time it gets to the SCOTUS the damage has already been done.
And even when the SCOTUS does side with administration the rulings are so narrowly tailored as to be meaningless.
And don't get me started with the abomination that is our LE and IC apparatus.
We are in serious jeopardy of losing it all, and very soon.
We need more people to understand this not make excuses for the GOP.

If the Mueller investigation does not totally end within the next six months, even the most die-hard "there's no Deep State" person will have to realize the country is controlled by and for the UniParty/Deep State.
If Mueller is such a "stand-up, straight-shooter fellow," as we were told by everyone when he was appointed, how can he justify taking nearly two years (so far) to investigate something with a small, finite number of US "suspects," and with all the FBI and NSA data for those suspects in his possession? And how can he justify spending more and more taxpayer dollars to continue hounding Trump associates for only process crimes, not collusion or obstruction of justice?
To me the only reason Mueller will continue much longer is to continue to protect the Deep State's plot against Trump: By delaying the day when all the evidence against them has to be kept from the public due to Mueller's "ongoing investigation."

Do you want to read something insanely moronic then read this; "Students stir an online uproar at protest".
It's an opinion about the Covington 'incident' and dated 19 februari 2019!!!
Some quotes;
"There was also a protest held by Native American and Hebrew Israelite activists on the same day at the same location.
Videos and photos portray the students as hateful towards the culture of the other two groups."
...
"Even with videos and interviews, it is difficult to tell exactly what happened if one was not physically present. As students, but also members of a society which encourages free thinking, we should take all sides of a situation into consideration and make educated accusations."
And then she goes on;
"It is not difficult to see a group of young, white, MAGA supporters and be able to understand their intentions in this situation. Their intent was to be disrespectful when coming face to face with people who were protesting ages of Native American suffering."
So it's difficult to tell what happened but that wont stop her from condemning the kids because, it seems, they were white and some wore MAGA hats. And this racist piece of crap will join the 'intellectual class'.
Whither the Republic (and whither the West since I'm not American but this kind of thing is all over the place)? Nothing were I want to be, that's for sure.

It was clear to Mueller within six months of being appointed that there was no substance to the collusion, obstruction or any of the other nonsense that was contrived and leveled at Trump.
But Mueller's role was not to find the truth and dispense justice but to stymie any meaningful investigation of the real criminals in the Obama administration, Hillary World, the IC and LE apparatuses and a whole host of criminals and bad actors.
This was all aided an abetted by Jeff Sessions and the GOP.
And Mueller leaves six months after Trump leaves whenever that is, not before.

We are in a long war and that means we will lose from time to time. I know this joint is Pessimist Central and we regularly have to lock up the knives and unload the guns around Ace, but the fact of the matter is the president DID get funding that a month ago we were told would never happen.
Yeah, it came with strings. That doesn't mean we have to flip out like a tween girl who got snubbed at the Valentine's Dance.
It's a complicated business, folks. Lots of stuff going on.

I believe you are right. I believe the Dem House members plan to use Mueller's team and its Grand Jury subpoena power for the next two years. I soon expect a letter from Nadler and Schiff to new Atty General Barr, demanding (in polite terms) that Mueller and his team be kept together and available while the several House committees perform their "oversight" investigations. And those investigations will continue through the 2020 election. If Barr refuses: Accusations of obstruction of justice.
OK, enough conspiracy theorizing for now - have a good day everyone!

I think Trump was playing for time in dealing with this whole thing. Before he could try to get at the coup plotters he had to ensure that there were enough non-corrupt officials in the DoJ that they wouldn't botch the prosecution on purpose. He might finally be at that point.
The way the FBI handled Kavanaugh shows that there might be at least a few sectors of the bureaucracy that can be trusted.

I am not defending the GOP. I think they have squandered an historic opportunity. In 2016 they were at a high water mark. Never before has the GOP held more seats in Congress, state legislatures, and governorships. And they got spooked by the attacks over Obamacare, and in the end, they wilted. It was still a small group who backed down, but it was enough.
The issue we face today is what to do now. It is hard to believe that really smart people are making really smart tactical decisions at this point. My hope at this juncture is that the left will continue to beclown itself and that will be enough to keep them from power. I am not saying it is a good plan, and I am not saying it is a sure thing. The silent majority no longer exists. My hope there is still a majority of sanity.

The Democrat Party inner circle is probably thinking: Hmm, we need an older guy, liked by most Dems, on the debate stages, to stop the catfights between the many, many female candidates who will be savagely trying to tear each other apart.
Or to referee the catfights.

Barr is part of Trump's detente with the Bushes. Trump realized that he couldn't fight everyone at once and needed to make some alliances. Barr is part of that.
This was why Trump made such a big deal about H.W.'s death. He was publicly cementing the alliance by giving the guy a tribute that was otherwise completely out of alignment with what he actually accomplished.
Trump tried to go it alone and the swamp was just too much. He is picking his battles more carefully.
This is why the bill signing doesn't bother me. He needed to get the government reopen for the rest of the year and he actually got something in return for it. The fact that Ann Coulter is flipping out about it tells me it was the right move.

There is a theory that pretty much everybody in high political office is blackmailable, and that the gatekeepers in both parties make sure that only blackmailable people make it through the nominating process. But Trump is not, and he somehow slipped through the cracks. This is freaking them all out.
Maybe it's tinfoil hattish, but it sure would explain a lot.

Basically the Trump Presidency is effectively over,
he will do what he can given the current political situation, which is a
hell of lot more than any Conservative has done since Reagan but what
he will do will be at the margins and be completley undone by the next
Donk President.
Now this is not to say he can't win re-election
but which given the insanity of the Donk side is likely but him being
able to affect deep meaningful change is not likely.
The GOP has effectively wasted a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It's simple: he was blindsided.
The notion that the NSA, FBI and CIA worked in tandem to fully infiltrate and spy on a presidential campaign and THEN created a Shadow Government within the DoJ is the stuff of paranoid 70s thrillers. I'm sure Sessions was literally in a "WTF moment" when all this hit him.
And to be honest, so were all of us. It's easy for us keyboard warriors to tell this guy what to do from the comfort of our tastefully decorated libraries, but he was in a position where he literally did not know who to trust.
So he did what he could, recognized it wasn't enough and stepped down.
I know we use the word "unprecedented" a lot, but it WAS in fact unprecedented. Sessions was out of his depth.

I don't care if it wouldn't have stopped the bill from becoming law, Trump shouldn't have signed it. "But what could he do?" He could have acted like a man. He could have shown his supporters that he wasn't afraid to do what was right, even if he was the only man in government who was.
He could have been like Fabrizio Quattrocchi, who yelled at his al Qaeda executioners, "I'll show you how an Italian dies!" What was the good of that? They went ahead and killed him anyway. But we remember heroes. We don't remember fat, old, toothless housecats who just want to lie down on their pillows and give up.

If what mccabe wrote in his book was true, and I suspect it is due to the walk back from his comments on that 60 minutes interview, then sessions was confronted with a nightmare the day he showed up for work. And yes you are absolutely correct, he literally couldn't trust anyone at DOJ.
He was probably met by rosenstein and "briefed" on what was going on and the need for him to step away from it unless he wanted to be included in the mess.

That makes a lot of sense. He assumed if the people voted for his slate, they could at least try to enact their policies. This is probably not fair, but maybe he was also just passed his prime.

What you're ignoring is that he did in fact accomplish a lot. The conspirators have been purged. McCabe was fired, Strzok and Page exposed - a lot of dirty laundry was pulled out for the world to see.
I keep making this point but it bears repeating: Without cleaning out the riff-raff, it was impossible for Sessions or anyone else to do anything.
If one of those hyper-partisan types was told "proscute McCabe" he would have done so in a way that let him walk. Look at the botched prosecution of Senator Menendez! They screwed it up on purpose so he could skate.
The same thing would have happened had Sessions tried to fire everyone all at once and then use Dem conspirators to prosecute their buddies.
I know people want to see decisive action because it makes good dramatic scenes on TV, but sometimes moving methodically, incrementally works better. Gosh, it's what got the left where it is today.

In hindsight, Sessions may come out of this looking better. We won't know how much he cleaned up DoJ until long after the fact.
But that's less satisfying than lighting your hair on fire and shouting DO SOMETHING!11!, so here we are.

He was probably met by rosenstein and "briefed" on what was going on and the need for him to step away from it unless he wanted to be included in the mess.
Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at February 16, 2019 07:52 AM (JUOKG)
But didn't Rosenstein become Deputy AG the same time Sessions became AG? Rosie was in government somewhere when Trump and Sessions picked him to be Deputy, but I think both Sessions and Rosie were blindsided about Trump investigations by Comey, McCabe, and others when they took office. However, I still don't get why Rosie decided to appoint a Special Counsel, then select Mueller. He was either an idiot, or believed all the bullshit given him by McCabe, or blackmailed, or in on the Get Trump caper.

199: He accomplished nothing on that score. Congress exposed them to the nation, if left to his own devices, I doubt Session would have let them go at all. And the conspirators should have been prosecuted. Not for one minute do I believe it should have taken this long for that to happen. Indictments happened faster in Watergate without the aid of emails and computer data.

So Maryland is reviewing a Bill to allow essential Federal workers who worked without pay to draw unemployment.
No discussion of if they have to re-pay the unemployment upon receipt of back pay once the government opens up again.
Or do we intend to write a bill which allows them to keep it, thereby allowing the workers to profit by shutdown.
We do live in stupid times.

In other news, my Mauser Broomhandle barrel arrived at the gunsmith, so in five short months (?!) I should get it back with a perfectly rifled insert. Been meaning to do this for more than a year, but finally got around to doing it.
The barrel was so corroded that it actually tore the patches I sent through it. If you looked real hard, you could see where the rifling used to be.

I've been a big fan of the art blog Illustration Art for years, though I frequent the site less after the author went anti-Trump and strayed from the aesthetic to the political.
He seems to have found his way back, and in the post "Why Are These Illustrations So Bad?" he asks why the NYT Magazine chooses such inept portraitists:

What really surprises is the comment section, in which several people point fingers at Progressives for making talent seem elitist.

Actually, that was on Congress.
Congress has the power to put people in jail for lying to them. Strangely, they did exactly nothing to Clapper, which showed they have no problem with it.
This is what Trump is up against. GOP lawmakers - all of them Staunch Conservatives who believe in Rule of Law - let people lie publicly to them and then do exactly nothing about it.
So basically Trump has to fight the entire government, including people on his own side. Given that, I'd say he's doing a remarkable job.

Organs from the elders will be made into a hearty stew for the camps
Posted by: Bruce
________
Actually, they were to be converted into a gruel-like substance more resembling yogurt than stew. But I don't believe it. To my profound disappointment, the camps don't exist. I so wanted to send the unenlightened to such facilities, and I thought the vacant Walmart would be the venue of such glory, only to see another store occupy this prime space.
As for the Yogurt Green (a funny reference we Leftists use) another let-down is apparent. The yogurt plant in California was supposed to be where the elderly were converted into sustenance for the inmates, but General Mills announced they were shutting that factory down. The façade of Yoplait is ruined.
I fear that it's all coming to an end. My dreams of destroying the bodies and spirits of those who dare to disagree with me have dissipated like the proverbial fart in the wind. My ever-present smirk of superiority is a parody of itself. Even my comments as I troll this blog, once masterpieces of instigation, have mutated into self-pitying ramblings.
Alas, the lamp-posts are empty as they offer nothing but light in the darkness. Perhaps I'll venture into that store where the Walmart used to be, wander its aisles and ponder what could have been, what should have been, and maybe buy some birdseed for the nuthatches and the tufted titmouses (or is it titmice?) that grace my otherwise desolate winter yard.

Perhaps I'll venture into that store where the Walmart used to be, wander its aisles and ponder what could have been, what should have been, and maybe buy some birdseed for the nuthatches and the tufted titmouses (or is it titmice?) that grace my otherwise desolate winter yard.

22 Students SJWs at George Washington University are demanding the school change its mascot, the 'Colonials,' arguing the nickname may discourage students, due to not being inclusive. Students assholes suggest changing the mascot to a hippo or riverhorse instead.
Since the Hippo is native of Africa, wouldn't using this as a mascot be a prime example of cultural appropriation?
Of course, if the true reason was to continue protesting...

234. So very well said. Conservatives believe in the rule of law, even when the courts crush us on most issues like Obamacare.
Dems are Godless, constitution means nothing, and will sell their soul to a Cross Demon to win politically.

Eh.
The basic problem is that we, of the middle and working class, make poor revolutionaries.
Why?
Because to be a member of the middle and/or working class, you:
1) Obey and respect the Law
2) Have planned out your life and have goals
3) Have responsibility to your family
4) Don't have a lot of free time because of family, church, business, friends, social obligations
5) Aren't sitting around waiting for someone or something like gov't to make your life better, you're doing it yourself for yourself.
6)Take responsibility for your own life.
Taken all together that means the middle and working classes will watch their lives sink slowly then vanish quickly before they will take action.
Trump, despite all the howling by the leftards, was a polite knock on the door as usual. Working through the system, doncha know.
If, if we of the middle and working classes, actually decide as a group to take action,
then, yes, we will win and win quickly because we and the planners and doers. We plan and do what we set out to do.
Very unlikely though. The Left has effectively fractured society and natural allies.
Look at the war against boys. How many mothers who want successful sons and young women who want to marry successful men would support that?
ZIp. Zero. Nada. In a rational world.
How many do support it?...a lot.
Strangely enough, if violence comes, it won't be because of the Dims exactly.
It will be because a-holes like the Turtle have frustrated all peaceful means of effecting change.

A ringing endorsement for voting Democratic if I ever heard one.

>>He was probably met by rosenstein and "briefed" on what was going on and the need for him to step away from it unless he wanted to be included in the mess.
I think he had a pretty good idea of the big picture without any help for Rosenstein. He was part of the campaign and he was a targeted just like Trump and Flynn.
I also think this is one of the more overblown and misunderstood aspects of the entire investigation. It's also becoming quite clear even to those who doubted it that Rosenstein and McCabe were at war. McCabe had started an obstruction of justice investigation into Trump just days after Trump, with Rosenstein's assistance, fired Comey. That meant that the same crooked group that had framed Trump with Russia collusion was also going to run his obstruction of justice investigation.
Does that sound like a good idea to anyone?
That's why Rosenstein brought in Mueller, to take the investigation away from the conspirators and bring it under control of the DOJ. Don't forget, Trump interviewed Mueller the day before Trump named Wray.
Sessions recusing himself was irritating to Trump but at the end it is largely a sideshow. All of the conspirators have been discovered, fired or forced out with criminal investigations ongoing. It is dumb to keep asking about why there are no leaks about the investigations when that was one of the biggest problems that needed fixing at the DOJ.
They are not supposed to talk about ongoing investigations. But we keep hearing that they are happening including mostly recently from Whitaker at his hearing in front of Congress the Friday before last.
So maybe Whitaker is lying. Maybe the Clinton Foundation whistleblowers are lying. Maybe there really isn't an empaneled grand jury hearing evidence at least against McCabe and that is a lie too. But this is how investigations are supposed to work, without leaks and without publicity.

Most of America knows DC is corrupt ... on the left they wanted Bernie, even though he was a terrible option (if the DNC really wanted an option to Crooked Hillary). Even AOC sees the problems with Amazon power of the corporation ... but her response is cray cray.
Pulling on any one corrupt thread pulls on the whole cabal ... some support is more hidden, and we find the GOPe is completely woven in to the mesh. Talk of "them" removing JFK or Nixon is labelled "conspiracy", but their protection of the Clinton seditious grifting made their DeepState mafia evident.
But the level of sedition is what is now being revealed, as Trump was mostly elected as an outsider, and our FBI/etc. is either removing him or controlling him. And the MSM is revealed as a branch of the sedition party (the unitparty). need more "wokeness".

Ambien works to get you the sleep you need to get to a job but the cost is some kind of corrosive effect on your emotional centers. Just say no to drugs and alcohol.

John the Savage,
Thank you for your great comments! I have saved some to copy to an e-mail to my conservative list.
I agree that we need a new party. Our real problem is that we here at Ace's Place are not close to a majority in this country anymore. The Silent Majority has mostly died off and some of us who were late converts to the group are old now too. So, if we had a new party, we'd just be another splinter group, guaranteeing a Democrat win.
If we could even form a group it would be demonized immediately by the MSM & the Elites, then ignored until it dissolved.
I was a part of the Tea Party gathering in DC in 2009 -- amazing experience of pure patriotism from people coming from all over the country. The of it demonization began immediately. It didn't manage to create a viable GOP or third party.
Trump got this group of Patriots energized again, but we can see how the forces aligned against him have tied our "Gulliver" with a thousand strings.
