The Army is not going to do anything to Vindman, they're not even going to do an investigation. Obama truly did gut the upper ranks of the military.

I LIKE beating dead horses, especially when they try to get back up. Case in point:
Jonah (The Content Stealin' Whale-Ass) Goldberg, writing in the NY Post, has this to say in a current column:
Democrats' 2020 race turned tragic because they can't face the truth about 2016
Here's some extra content you can borrow freely, Jonah --"Physician, heal thyself." It's from The Bible. Luke 4:23. In Latin, it's "Medice, cura te ipsum." Or maybe this line, from Doc Holliday in Tombstone --
"Apparently, my hypocrisy knows no bounds."
Finally, my favorite -- "Jonah, go eat a bag of dicks."
You can credit me with this one, but to be honest, I ain't the first to say it, nor the last.

Story goes, that's why a group of individuals went to PDT in 2015 and asked him to run. They knew he was a white hat and figured he was the only who could beat the vodka soaked diaper dandess.
Didn't want to do what they'd have to do if she had won.
We shall see.

Was it just yesterday?, I was flogging a piece by Roger Simon, formerly of PJ Media but now at the Epoch Times, about the communist background of Mayor Pete.
Well, today we have an even deeper look at the same topic by Paul Kengor at American Spectator:

He doesn't explicitly call him one, but 'if it walks like a duck...'.
Be aware. Buttplug is no "moderate".

Good morning, all. I'm getting pretty worried about the flu this year. Two of my students had confirmed cases of influenza B within a week of each other. Bad stuff, with fevers spiking in the 103 range. Both had the vaccine. And it seems to come on pretty quickly with slight symptoms in the morning and high fevers in the afternoon. Please take care of yourselves and your kids, the little ones especially.

I think Bernie took a shot to the ass when the Nevada unions said that they would not endorse any candidate which would support eliminating their Union member's private healthcare plans.
Seems that a smart candidate could build upon that idea.

Here's an *attempt* to hold The View and others to account for salivating all over Avenatti--but, still, they won't pay.
Hang in there until the end; it's delayed a bit; it's hilarious.

Hey kids...you want single payer healthcare?
This is what you really want.
You want to surrender and lose your choice in healthcare.
Hey kids, you want free cell phone service for all?
You want to surrender your ability to chose your own make and model of phone.
Hey Kids, you want guaranteed access to housing and food for all?
You want to surrender your right to chose what type of housing that you personally can have.
And the government will decide what you are having at the community cafeteria for dinner tonight.

As to Vindman and the Poiple Heart.
One thing does not negate/excuse the other.
getting boomed by an IED should have knocked some sense into him it is NOT an excuse for acting like a DICK
to fuck with a President (whichever President).
He was there to serve ,not play out his Russian fathers and his Ukranian wishes.
The US took him in from the shit storm in his homelands and rewarded them most handsomely...then delusions of granduer and smartness took over.
I can imagine many hundreds of so called foreign diplomatic staff are unnecessary time wasters and
full of themselves, Lil Narcissi.

P Krugman
Hes basically what Europeans would call a social democrat and social democracies like Denmark are, in fact, quite nice places to live, with societies that are, if anything, freer than our own.
Denmark
Gun Rights
the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law
Freedom of Speech
Hate speech laws are both national and by region
Police State
Denmark is not bound by Directive 2012/13/EU on the right to information in criminal proceedings, as it has opted out of implementation of certain EU measures relating to justice and home affairs.
I did this in 5 minutes. Krugman is fucking liar.

Lol. Trump is definitely not as good as elected, and this week he showed why. He has a substantial lack of self control and his 2 am Twitter rants are going to eat at his support around the edges. Not to mention dick stomping departments like the DoJ. Bloomberg is going to buy this race and hide as the "moderate". He isn't, really, but that fact, and the all the good work that Trump has done will get lost in Twitter insults.
It's a long way between now and November. Plenty of time for Trump to shoot himself in the foot and get some good fratricide going.

The Army is not going to do anything to Vindman, they're not even going to do an investigation. Obama truly did gut the upper ranks of the military.

According to The Hill Barr has tapped outside D.C. prosecutors to handle politically sensitive cases including Flynn's case.
Barr's been DOJ for a year and now bust this move?
Posted by: moving on at February 15, 2020 07:09 AM (WX+x0)
AT BEST - Barr went in assuming everything was good and proper but willing/directed to take a look at what he may have heard just a bit about with 1% being covered in the MSM (Trump tweets "Witch Hunt", disparagement of the DoJ, Tweeting must stop!).
At best he really believes that fuck ups like Ruby Ridge are very rare outliers that will occur very rarely in any organization.
At best he said 'spying' and looking at the predicate (or whatever) to sound like he marches to the beat of a different drummer, his own man.
At best, feet of clay and confirmation bias has prevented him from doing much more than act the tough guy when not blowing on the bag pipe.
At best, he's finally getting a grasp on how politically fuc*ing corrupt his beloved DoJ and FBI has become.
Because he did not believe it possible.

Here's my ASHQ related story. Yesterday I went to visit a married couple from my church. They weren't at church when we had communion d it the first of the month. Their granddaughter is studying environmental sciences and was on a trip to Ecuador with a group, She sent them a postcard. I looked it and it had two blue footed boobies. His comment was "When I hear the word 'boobies I think of something else. I laughed and responded that I go on a board that when they mention "boobies" I sometimes kid around by posting pictures of blue footed boobies. My parishioner served in the Navy in the Korean War. He supports Donald Trump. He could be a moron. Anyway, small world.

Hi everyone. Can I be super bitchy for just a moment here? I can? Oh, thank you.
So, my dad is still in the hospital (three weeks today). He had to start dialysis, and last week, he had a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). He had a procedure for the pneumothorax on Thursday, during which they took a few swabs/samples from inside his lungs. Last night, the infectious diseases doctor told us they think he has mold growing in his lungs. So he has to start taking a new drug which has horrible side effects including kidney and liver damage (see above in re: already on dialysis). This whole situation is just complete bullshit, and my dad has never done a single thing to deserve any of this (unlike me, who as I'm about to demonstrate am extremely bitchy).
My aunt was texting updates to me and my sister as she learned them last night. I texted my sister separately, "Sometimes I wish I drank". She replied that she was "livid". I thought that was odd, but I figured she was upset that this shit keeps happening to Dad. She added that she didn't know what to do. Then she said that her husband was "infuriated"...because he had had "plans galore" for the evening and they felt they had to cancel them.
I told her (nicely) that it wasn't like the situation was going to change in the next few hours, and there wasn't anything any of us could do anyway, so they might as well keep their plans. But no, everything was canceled and they were Just Waiting.
She has also told me that they have a trip planned for next week that she is afraid she'll have to cancel, whereupon they'll be out $1500 (this is not a lot of money to them. Also, they go on multiple trips a year). But indeed, what price can you put on the opportunity to play Early Christian Martyr?
Well, got to get showered and head up to the hospital to relieve Mom. See y'all later.

Barr finally understands that his DOJ is corrupt and totally partisan.
Barr is just another DS player, a company man through and through. He's gonna protect the DoJ and the FBI to his dying breath.
Are some lower folks gonna take a hit? Maybe. Is anything on the order of what needs to happen going to happen under Barr's watch? Like dissolution of the FBI, and prosecution of senior executives and agents for sedition...Nope.

The GOP has conducted focus groups in key states with swing voters. Despite the fact Trump gets extremely high numbers on the economy the superfluous nonsense on Twitter drags him down. The desire by that key group of voters is that he focuses more on further improvements to the economy and less on the Twitter distractions he's creating. Stone is a perfect example. He has plenty of surrogates to do that crap. He's once again sucked the air out of the room and undermined the AG who gets high marks with a fair amount of the electorate. It's another self inflicted wound. The GOP is now working to offset this with things like the upcoming middle class tax cut they are starting to unveil, etc.
Nobody is saying don't Tweet. It's a great tool for him and gets his message out. What people in the campaign are saying is be more discriminating and let his supporters handle the other stuff. Put the president above the fray and help him look more presidential.
Some of the opposition campaigns like Bloomberg, with their unlimited money have already figured out this is a weakness and they're attacking it. You need to have a counter strategy to address that.
That is my only point.

The entire bureaucracy is tainted. Think about that. I get that people think that if Trump would only do X everything would be fixed, but the rot is very deep and took a long time to settle in.
Part of the process (which Sessions started but gets no credit for) is weeding out the worst offenders.
Who lie to your face. They'll tell you that yep, absolutely on board chief, totally going to follow instructions - and then they conspire to undercut you.
It's an incremental process, not a single, glorious event.

I think Barr is all about protecting the institution.

Mrs. Peel,
It's very stressful to have a beloved dad so sick in the hospital; It's exhausting and it also often tends to cause friction in families because everybody gets exhausted, their emotions are on the surface and they tend to say whatever comes to mind.
Your dad sounds like a very fine , good man. God is not causing him to be ill. It's a c****y part of life in a fallen world. In a book called "Disappointment with God" Phillip Yancey talks to a man who has had almost every conceivable thing go wrong, but when Yancey says "How can you maintain your faith his response is "I try not o confuse God with life," Keep talking to God; God can handle the bitching (By the way, your post didn't sound bitchy; Just normal fatigue, worry and stress). And anyway, that's what we can do for each other here. Listen to each other's complaints.
I will pray for your family members too.

This woman's story has been posted here before but for those that missed it....she's a democrat, who went to a Trump rally just to see what it was like. She wrote this article about it:

I'm curious, as she gains publicity, if she continues to call Trump a liar.

Vindman is a low life piece of shit, scum bag and I wouldn't say he's out of the woods yet. Kelly is an asshole and completely wrong about what he said with respect to Vindman's actions and it's completely contrary to what most people I know are saying. Don't bag on him for the PH. There are a fair amount of guys walking around with that award for similar circumstances. Unfortunately. But the tell is after 20 he doesn't have towards like the MSM, BSM, etc. LTC Fat ass just walked around trying to burnish his creds where he could.

Very frustrating. But I suspect he could terminate
some of the people who are insubordinate. I have not seen this. Until, I
do, I do not accept that this is happening despite his best efforts.

They are getting terminated and others are quitting.
I get the desire for judicial punishment, but at the same time the real goal is to cleanse the institution and restore it to some level of lawful behavior.
That's the real objective, because without it, no one can be reliably prosecuted, for anything.

I won't go so far as to 'all about', but the example of FBI head Christopher Wray DOES seem to imply that this is a priority for the Deep State types.
They are like the scorpion/frog parable in a way -- "It's in our nature."
But they cannot see that in the mirror in the morning. Barr wants to do the right thing, but in certain areas he is wearing blinders.

I view this as a brilliant move by Bill "Deep State" Barr, because it will allow him to
a) restart every critical investigation,
b) all the perps have been schooled on the key points of their cases and have had time to backstop their alibis,
c) all the original Establishment lawyers have been reassigned and lost their notes in tragic boating accidents, and
d) the Statute of Limitations clock keeps running without a reset.
Well done, my good man!

Here's what Barr said in his comments about Stone:
"the Stone case was prosecuted while I was attorney general. And I supported it.... I thought it was a righteous prosecution. And I was happy that he was convicted."
So Stone's prosecution was "righteous" but a prosecution of McCabe for multiple instances of perjury on an issue far more momentous lacked merit?

He absolutely could, and I imagine there are reasons he isn't.
He knows more than I do, or anyone else here, and since I can't effect his decisions, I don't get worked up about them.
I wish more people did the same, because I'm increasingly staying away from this place. The constant hair-on-fire combined with concern-trolling is just plain boring. Not depressing, just dull.
It also obscures all of the victories that no GOP president ever achieved before.
Everyone's fixated on McCabe, but the crackdown on sanctuary cities is far more consequential.
But let's fixate on inside-the-beltway crap and cry over individual twitter stars.
I'll gladly give up ten new John Deans in exchange for actual immigration enforcement.

I think PDTS was jerking Barr's chain yesterday and Bagpipe Bill got defensive. I also think in all likelihood it was done knowing that the DoJ was going to let McCabe skate.

Right.
So Barr will set there at his desk, with a stack of folders and vet every single DoJ employee.
And he'll write some up, who will then appeal to the Merit Protection Board, who will find in that person's favor. And then Barr will personally shepherd the appeal through HR.
Or he can focus his energies where they will be most useful. Micro-managing the DC office is a waste of his time. Did no one see his major initiative to crack down on sanctuary cities??? The new tools they are using?
This is huge. Let Andy McCabe prance on CNN and write tell-all books for the rest of a long and prosperous life. I'm not going to tie my guts in knot for every crook who skates.
The big picture is what counts. That's where Barr is putting his effort.

Trump mus realize at some point that this can't be
good for him. It is one thing to get people fired up about lawlessness,
but there is a turning point into soured hope and despair.

Where should he put the weight of his effort?
Should he micro-manage Main Justice or do trivial things like end the war in Afghanistan?
Because he has only so many hours in a day.
I'm thinking that when all is said and done, a booming economy and bringing peace by land and sea will matter more than whether Andy McCabe gets indicted for a process crime.

What could be more important than reaffirming the concept that everyone is equal under the law? Meaning if you break the law, you get charged and tried. Otherwise, we're just Mandarins and Commoners.

Check out The Hospital, also by Chayefsky. In some ways it is even more prescient in its characterization of incompetence and social craziness/breakdown. Also, it has a more interesting lead character.

We don't know that. Speculation is that a grand jury refused to support the indictment.

Even more depressing and fundamental was a conversation I heard yesterday between Joe DiGenova and Larry O'Connor (Steyn has made similar comments).
The bottom line is that the entire jury pool in DC (and I think by extension NoVA and much of MD) is known to be so tainted by progressives that prosecutors don't want to bother taking case to court that gives them a minimal chance (at best) to win conviction. It is so bad that defense attorneys tell innocent parties to accept a plea deal because they will get screwed over if they go to trial (GEN Flynn?)

Andy McCabe gets indicted or sanctuary cities get shut down.
You can't have both.
Either Barr micro-manages the DC office, personally vetting and making decisions over every career prosecutor who works to thwart his goals, or he shifts the nationwide policy of law enforcement.
You know who was good with details? Jimmy Carter. Guy had an eye for the little stuff. Nothing in the White House escaped his notice.
It's an either/or people. You either have Barr sitting at his desk, asking for daily updates on the DC personnel situation or he spends his time setting the table for broad, nation-wide policies.

Lying multiple times to federal agents is "a process crime"? Would you be treated similarly if you lied as he did?
And it just isn't about McCabe.
I don't have great answers to your serious questions. Only trying to gauge the reactions to the accretions of injustice and absence of prosecutions. Take a look at the reactions at The Conservative Treehouse, a bastion of diehard Trump support. People are extremely frustrated, the mood often tipping from anger into a sort of exasperated cynicism.
It's a political barometer reading that Trump must keep in mind.

It has been over 2 years to reach this point since Flynn was indicted.
Wouldn't charging McCabe with false statements set a process in motion that would only hold back the more serious charges of helping plot a coup?
I mean, wouldn't he be in court for false statements and we have to wait until that concludes to put him on trial for the much more serious stuff?

Who will actually run the case? Which lawyers will be the ones in charge?
Hmmm, I'm thinking its the same ones trying to thwart everything Barr does.
Anyone remember how DoJ let Sen. Menendez go by completely botching the trial?
Weird. It was an epic fail and guess what? Double jeopardy! Can't try him again. Free as a bird.
But yes, let's use the tainted lawyer pool and the tainted jury pool and this time fer sure it will work.
Or...
Spend the weight of effort on the less-tainted field offices to get serious immigration enforcement going. It's interesting that Barr is bringing in St. Louis people. That shows just how bad DC's personnel situation is.

I recall a draft position paper by prosecutors on Hillary Clinton and Whitewater, where the prosecutors determined that they only had a 10% chance of getting a conviction on her as sitting First Lady.
Thus, they decided not to issue indictments.
Now, you may agree that it would be a waste of government resources to have pursued these charges (most of the charged defendants pleaded guilty), but
Rule of law took a major lick there. And she ultimately ran for preezy, and held high gubmint offices.
The Smart Thing is not always the right thing.

To be fair, they've been prosecuting Flynn for years on a process crime because he is so devious and won't play ball and they need to disencourager les autres.
But they do know how to administer justice quickly, see the recent leaker that very quickly got about two months for his process crime, and Stone's sentence of 9 years was conducted very efficiently (aided by a pre-dawn raid on a 70+ year old man with an invalid wife)!

Everybody keeps saying this. Upon Trump's reelection, these giant bureaucracies must be moved to various parts of flyover country. It will never be possible to prosecute any misdoings and stark illegalities of swamp creatures in the vicinity of D.C. The jury pools are as stacked as the bureaucracies themselves. It's a dire situation when it comes to true rule of law and justice of those actually guilty.

There are two ways to protect an institution: clean out the bad actors and reform it so it is healthy, or sweep the dirt under the rug and pretend, which keeps it sick.
If you love your kid, you take him to the doctor when he's sick, you don't pat him on the head and say "We love our prosecutors."
Barr says he doesn't know why the four prosecutors quit. They quit because they are running another Lawfare Black Op on you and the President, Gramps. If he really doesn't understand that, he's not smart enough to be Attorney General.
Barr seems like a grandfather in denial that his drug addict-grandkids stole all his credit cards. They're hooked on the TDS, Bob. Wake up.

152 RE: McCabe. OK, I get that they have discretion and the FBI did fire him. I suspect that not prosecuting him was done more to protect the FBI from the embarrassment of a trial.
Also, we see Barr all but stating the prosecution team for the Stone conviction lied about their sentencing strategy and yet they were allowed to slink off in some fake resignation theater instead of being shit canned.
I think Barr is all about protecting the institution.

Barr defended FBI sniper Lon Horuchi of Ruby Ridge infamy, pro bono, for the killing of Vicky Weaver.

Ace, in case you haven't noticed, the depressed ones are making it more difficult for less hair on fire dwellers on your blog.
It's one thing to have an opinion, but these assholes are now starting fights.
They make references to other blogs saying how depressed they are becoming and then spreading misery and doom here. Kind of stupid if you ask me.
