Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Fake Libertarian Justin Amash Steps Down from the Freedom CaucusThe Great Clarifying continues:
Amash, speaking at a Freedom Caucus board meeting, insisted his departure was voluntary. Amash said he did not want to continue to be a “further distraction” for the caucus, which is chaired by North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, a member of the Freedom Caucus, told Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle” Monday evening that Meadows and Amash mutually came to the decision after several conversations. Jordan said the Republican members of the group still consider Amash a friend, but that their disagreements were “sharp” and significant.The reason I call him a "fake libertarian" is that this alleged "libertarian" has no problems whatsoever with the unprecedented use of spies and surveillance against a rival presidential campaign, all based on rumors and frankly made-up claims pushed by the Hillary Clinton campaign, gathered by a foreign spy from (supposedly) Kremlin -- RUSSIAN!-- contacts. We've never seen such an invasive, aggressive, anti-democratic, illegal effort to derail a presidential campaign and rig a presidential election before, all based on a "dossier" so flimsy and absurd that it's possible that the perpetrators may face jail time. And yet the fake "libertarians" and "conservatarians" approve of these police state gestapo tactics while simultaneously clutching their pearls that this Trump character might be some kind of... authoritarian. It's all about immigration. They are open borders zealots but do not want to publicly admit this, so they confabulate reasons unrelated to immigration to claim that Trump is unfit for office. They're liars and grifters and should be driven out of public office and frankly public life. If you cannot admit your actual political position -- what the fuck are you doing in politics? Who needs you to pollute the public debate with diversions and deceit? Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'm at the point that their attacks against the President are trivial in comparison to the outright treason at all levels in this invasion at our borders.
The US is a Failed State. We don't have control over any of our borders, no control over budget, failed education system, and a corrupt and dysfunctional court system. The Congo has thousands of Ebola cases going on, and now we discover that thousands of Congoese people are flooding in to the US. And the government, at every level, is doing all that they can do to amp up this invasion jeopardizing everything. When the ebola breaks out here, who is going to care who sexted who in a botched Russia collusion narrrative?

They're liars and grifters and should be driven out of public office and frankly public life. If you cannot admit your actual political position -- what the fuck are you doing in politics? Who needs you to pollute the public debate with diversions and deceit?
This is the poison that the Dims in particular have brought to American politics. For instance, on several issues Obama, in theory, ran to the Right of McCain, just as other Dims have done. Then once elected did whatever the fuck he wanted. Not the the Republicans are innocent either what with Failure Theater playing every year after Reagan's two terms ended. It's impossible to have informed voters and a legitimate gov't if the candidates constantly lie about their beliefs on fundamental issues. It makes even a legitimately won election and the gov't as a whole illegitimate- if the entire process is a scam. This is what makes Trump so popular and so refreshing- He says what he means and then actually tried to fulfill his promises to the voters. The Republican Party better learn from Trump and better learn fast. Posted by: naturalfake at June 11, 2019 01:06 PM (J2mEl) 77
It is important to remind people that anything they can do to Trump, they can do to everyone else.

It's all about immigration. They are open borders zealots but do not want to publicly admit this, so they confabulate reasons unrelated to immigration to claim that Trump is unfit for office."
I would modify that to say that, in Amash's case, it's only *mostly* about Immigration. Amash comes from Palestinian roots, so naturally he hates Jews and he hates Trump for siding with Israel so strongly, too. Never trust an Arab. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 11, 2019 01:07 PM (Kpl3J) 85

Mostly off topic but rather important:
The last day or two, local papers throughout the US have started rolling out articles doxxing Trump donors. They're calling out people by name, listing their employers and businesses, and linking to their social media accounts. They're excusing this by promising to run articles about Dem donations at a later date. Posted by: lurker (the other one. buy radios too) at June 11, 2019 01:08 PM (eAshZ) 90

The analogy I think that sums up the Trump period is he took a stick and poked the hornets nest and then when they started stirring he gave it a good whack. Now we're right in the middle of the swarm and will be until the nest is knocked to the ground and destroyed.

Justin Amash has been a never Trumper from day one. He came out with the fake outrage when the audio tape of Trump talking about women letting themselves be grabbed, and he's been looking for anything to support getting Trump out of office.
Why? Because his family and himself are knee deep in working with the Chinese in business. And Trump is causing a strain in that. He's a "conservative" when it doesn't affect him. No different than liberal Democrats whose policies don't affect them at all. Posted by: Jen the original at June 11, 2019 01:11 PM (FZzpm) 105

Winners go into enemy territory and take it.
You lose what you don't try for. --------- Trump said during 2015/2016 that he had a 50-state strategy. This didn't *completely* pan out (he didn't campaign in CA at all, for instance), but by and large he and his relatively small team stuck to that pretty relentlessly, as evidenced by his success behind the vaunted "Blue Wall." The entire GOP established and all the other candidates ridiculed this. Really, it was peals of laughter from Trump's "right." At the time, I was doing the math and saying "you people are right there's no path to 270, as long as our candidate doesn't try taking away traditionally Dem states." It was really the only choice. Hit 'em where they live. But of course, that was the point, wasn't it? Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 11, 2019 01:12 PM (AzW6q) 114

Posted by: GnuBreed at June 11, 2019 01:16 PM (Z4rgH) Trump is transactional, not ideological. He campaigned that if you elect me, I will do X, Y, and Z. He was elected so now he is trying to do X. Y, and Z. It's stunning. Add me to the I like Cruz, I really do, but whatever that It factor is that would vault him to the next level, he doesn't have it.

Full Disclosure: Recovering former-Libertarian (note the capitalization)
The holy trifecta for pretty much any/all libertarians (except for a small, tiny number of true classical liberals) are the 3 P's - P0rn, Pot, and Prostitution. One of which is pretty much legal pretty much everywhere, one of which will be legal in more than half the states in 3-5 years tops, and the other is de-facto legal because, seriously, aside from occasional busts for street work and the necessary cracking of trafficking rings, who ever really goes to jail for prostitution? They're fighting not yesterday's battles, but last century's battles. And anyone who calls themselves a "libertarian" who is totes A-OK with the spy-v-spy tactics used against Trump/Pence 2016 is a leftist, period, full-stop.

I like Cruz but he's not much of a leader.
IMO Cruz has 2 problems: 1. He's not likable. He'll never hold elective office higher than the Senate and he'll have a hard time, every time, getting re-elected. 2. He's too much of a lawyer. Book smart but doesn't understand things viscerally outside of the law. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses but he has to rely on advisers and he's had some horrible ones.

218 171 >> the local Ford dealership pissed me off.
My local Ford dealer did me dirty on a vehicle sale. Went in to sign paperwork and put deposit down so they could do a dealer transfer for the vehicle I wanted. Sales guy I had the price negotiated. Over comes the Sales Manager and proceeds to tell me they couldn't/wouldn't sell me that vehicle for the price we negotiated. Raised my voice so others in showroom could hear that they were screwing me. Then walked out. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire now. Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at June 11, 2019 01:32 PM (N39Ws) Yours is worse. Mine just pulled a car I had an inquiry out about, nothing in writing, just saw the price online and reached out. It had been posted too cheaply by a few grand. Then when I went in, the sales guy went to lunch basically in the middle of our conversation. And when I left contact info with the sales manager, they never contacted me. So figured that was a sign. Got a good lease deal with Acura and went with that instead.

I highly, highly recommend watching the Mark Steyn/Geo Papadopoulos interviews (posted on Steyn online and for some unknown reason still on Youtube). It is so much more than a weaponization pushed by the Hillary people. It was, by all appearances, a CIA and FBI driven op, including outright entrapment. Hillary may have been the inspiration or initial impetus, but it was clearly taken up by rogue intelligence and LE as their own cause.
One, thuggish detail that tends to get lost in the mix is how George P was given 10,000 in cash by a mysterious figure in Tel Aviv, tried to return it, then gave it to an attorney in Greece for safekeeping, only to be arrested and searched without pretext once arriving in the US by FBI, presumably to "find" undeclared cash they tried to plant on him. Even reading the "perjury" counts against GP are sickening. Taking a statements voluntarily given by GP about Misfud as "BS ing" and is characterizing him as a "big nothing" as basis for perjury, because GP supposedly "knew" Misfud had big connections in Russia. So let me get this straight: if in an interview with the FBI I say Barack Obama is a big nothing and a BSer that's grounds for perjury, because the TRUTH is he is not a "nothing"? The manifest bad faith and abuse by Mueller (apart from the CIA/FBI op) is so clear that I really think Barr needs to recommend charges against him as well.

Corruption appeals because it is so often rewarding. Yes, eventually you pay for it, but in the immediate short term the benefits can be enormous. Weak people and those of little moral fiber are easily corrupted, especially in a culture which cares only about the short term.

I think they feel they're so right and so good and on the side of the angels so anyone who they put their sights on has to go down at any cost, so it sort of takes on a life of its own. Well, look at who's NOT getting bad press and that's who the Dem power brokers want. Sanders. He's getting almost no pushback or bad press. The worst thing that he's gotten in the press was self-inflicted with the "felon vote" nonsense. As awful and racist as this sounds, I think it was his attempt to appeal to black voters. You can almost hear him thinking in that Larry David voice "A lot of blacks are in prison. I should find a way to use that" Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 11, 2019 01:44 PM (39g3+) 288

I went for Trump right off the bat, for one reason and one reason only: I thought he was the only candidate who might not get eaten alive by the MSM and Hillarhoid.

I want him on the Supreme Court though.
Posted by: Grump928(C) at June 11, 2019 01:33 PM (yQpMk) Can you imagine how much Lefty heads would detonate if Trump nominated Cruz to the SCOTUS?? HA! Btw, Cuccinelli is taking over at DHS, and Never Trumpers and Democrats are OUTRAGED! OUTRAGED WE SAY!!! Pretty amusing how Trump did it; first, recall that Cuccinelii has domce out strongly against birthright citizenship and is in favor of using the military on the border. The GOP-e told Trump that was WAY too extreme and that they would never confirm him to a Cabinet position, that he should withdraw the name. SO, instead, Trump never nominated him. Instead, he hired Cooch to be a Senior Deputy Secretary (something like that, it was a new position) and this did not call for any Senate Review. Then, he redid the organization chart and specified, that when there was no actual Homeland Security Secretary (remember Nielson either got fired or resigned) then the Senior Deputy Secretary was at the top of the chart and would be in complete charge of everything and be acting Secretary. And the final part of the plan is to simply never nominate anyone for HS Secretary and just let Cooch run it as long as Trump wants him to. And the never-trumpers and rinos's in the Senate can complain and moan, but there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 11, 2019 01:47 PM (Kpl3J) 298
And yet the fake "libertarians" and "conservatarians" approve of these
police state gestapo tactics while simultaneously clutching their pearls that this Trump character might be some kind of... authoritarian. Everybody here knows this, but those who haven't paid much attention to politics probably doesn't: Obama set this up by his selective enforcement of laws. If he didn't like certain laws, he just didn't enforce them, like immigration. Now President Trump takes office and seeks to fulfill his Constitutional duty by enforcing laws, Democrats start screaming that he's an "authoritarian." It's a nice little rhetorical smear. I sure hope people know this and can see through it. Posted by: BackwardsBoy - #Progressivism=Socialism at June 11, 2019 01:48 PM (HaL55) 299
Sanders. He's getting almost no pushback or bad press.
*** Hillary stole the 2016 nomination from him. So far he's let it go - presumably whatever deal he made led to his 3rd house which he bought in 2017... But, if Bernie decides to actually make an issue of 2016's theft he can easily throw the election to Trump....so the Dems have to be very, very careful.

One, thuggish detail that tends to get lost in the mix is how George P was given 10,000 in cash by a mysterious figure in Tel Aviv, tried to return it, then gave it to an attorney in Greece for safekeeping, only to be arrested and searched without pretext once arriving in the US by FBI, presumably to "find" undeclared cash they tried to plant on him.

I agree with you. "Rogue" carries the connotation of one acting alone, which I completely agree was not the case. The scope of the surveillance/unmasking op itself belies the fact. But I guess that while I'd ultimately want Obama and Hillary in jail, I'll settle for Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Paige, Stzrok, Ohr, Ohr, Yates, Simpson, Steele, 3 or 4 partners from Perkins Coie and a half-dozen co-conspirators.
