Neocon Liz Cheney Ousted From Leadership; Vows That She Will Use All Of Her Remaining Power, Which Is Very Very Little, to Insure Trump Never Wins the Presidency for a Third Time
Lauren Boebert puts it simply: "We are not going back." No matter how many times NeverTrump and the liberal wing sabotages us, no matter how elections they throw to the Democrats, no matter how many factional games they play to try to crawl their way back into power: We are not going back. Either accept the new reality of the GOP or make your semi-covert membership in the Democrat Party overt.
"I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office," Cheney said. "We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it’s very important that we make sure whomever we elect, is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution." Trump praised the news of Cheney's ouster. "Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being," he said in a statement. "I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the Border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy. She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the worst decision in our Country's history. I look forward to soon watching her as a Paid Contributor on CNN or MSDNC!"
Liz Cheney is the GOP of the past. We are not going back.

> Not exactly what Wozniak said.
A CS kid wrote to Woz, saying, "Does Steve Jobs know how to code? Is he an engineer (i.e. did he know what the heck you were doing when you were building the Apple?)"
Woz's response, "Steve didn't ever code. He wasn't an engineer and he didn't do any original design, but he was technical enough to alter and change and add to other designs. I did all of the Apple I and Apple ][ myself, including the feature choices. I did all of the BASIC myself (it's in handwriting as I couldn't afford an assembler). The only person who helped write some of the Apple ][ code was Allen Baum, who helped with the 'monitor' program."

McCarthy backed Cheney when it was obvious that she was a cancer, only turning tail and running when small dollar donations cratered.

I read all 1100 pages or so of Jobs' biography. My main takeaway is that he was, above all else, a terrible person. In everything.
And yet he was hugely successful. I don't really like the takeaway from that.

Romney being booed at in his own state at his own party's event.
This should be a wakeup call, but the GOP being out of power all it will manifest is even more urgent calls for donations and fights. They're in the minority, they can't do anything, you know.
Ignore the federal government at this point. The only way to salvage this ship is at the state level, especially in places like AZ, MI, and PA.

Spectacularly righteous strike by Israel just reported:
The Palestinian militant group Hamas on Wednesday said that its Gaza City commander, Bassem Issa, was killed by an Israeli airstrike.
...
The AP reports that Israel's internal security agency confirmed the deaths, adding that the airstrike had killed the organization's head of rocket development and cyber warfare, the head of rocket production and its engineering chief.
I don't think there could have been a better enemy decapitation strike than this.

How in the world does Cheney say such nonsense with a straight face?
Liz "Constant Wars" Cheney needs to go back and read Washington's speech about foreign entanglements. Then, after that, read the Constitution.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Cheney doesn't give a shit what the Constitution says.

Good coding requires foresight and an admission that everything you do could be wrong. Quite probably is wrong. To plan continuously for errors and necessary checking and regression testing. This does not work for the type of superegos that run these outfits. Additionally, these same sort of execs are terrible at program risk mitigation. Why plan for the impossible?

That was my take, Ace. YMMV.
Once, when cartoonist Lynne 'For Better or Worse' Johnson was debating whether to kill off the family's dog after it had heroically rescued the youngest child from drowning, Schulz, who didn't like the idea, told her, "If you kill Farley, I'll kill Snoopy, and then no one will even notice your dog."

Now remove some more like her. I want to see the GOP fight for the things I've been hoping to see achieved for decades now. Shrink the size and scope of the Federal government (back to what it is supposed to be, if possible) and to de-politicize the agencies (a relatively new one, admittedly, but extremely important).
Too many of the GOP beltway critters have spent their time fundraising with the goal of more fundraising rather than governing since these critters are able to make a good living this way and so they're not interested in governing to make the government work as it is supposed to work. This needs to change.

But the alternatives, then and now, were horrible.

I think the real reason for the behavior is existential terror and rage. Their world - the world they want, they world they've been working to build, the world on which they've built every facet of their identities - no longer exists and it no longer exists because Trump killed it.
It isn't that there's no more corruption, no more failure theater, no more horrendous overstepping of boundaries, no more lawbreaking, etc. Those things are still happening in spades. What has changed, however, is their moral authority. What has changed is that the people they're abusing are no longer falling for it. They now see it for what it is and, importantly, they see *these people* for what they are, too. Trump ripped people's "They Live" sunglasses off and what has been revealed cannot be unseen.
It's existential malaise and fear - not loss of profit - that is the real reason for the fury.

Meanwhile, the PA demorats have been personally canvassing the neighborhoods, dropping off sample ballots with directions on how to vote.Right now the only way I know how to vote is by asking me friend who got a sample ballot from a dmorat, he said he's just going to vote opposite what they were told to do.

Posted by: bonhomme at May 12, 2021 11:20 AM (YYlyE)
Yeah, Jobs wasn't a technical guy. A great salesman, great marketer... but he couldn't write code. To me, Jobs' greatest move was after returning to Apple from NextStep, was have the mac os re-written on top of the NextStep (Unix) system. After that, it was a serious operating system, blowing Windows and its NT base out the fucking door (IMHP)... but I'm a Debian guy, and have been a Linux geek since I installed Slackware in 1994 on an IBM Think Pad. The mac os is cool... but if you're used to Linux, it's still creepily authoritarian.

The GOP believed the Frank Luntzs of the world when they said that it would be a blue wave in 2020, and they wanted that because they needed a blue wave downballot as evidence that Trump had been "repudiated." When it didn't occur they freaked out. I still believe that McConnell deliberately threw the GA Senate races with his refusal to pass the stimulus: if the GOP had held the Senate it would have made Trump's loss all the more peculiar, and would have proven that Trump was good for the party.

None of us truly know what goes on behind the scenes, the jockeying for positions, but it is almost certainly true the Bush/Cheney dynasty wanted to keep going.
I don't think Jeb(!) was ever the answer though, so Trump pushing him aside was just the mechanism. Jeb(!) was never going to happen. I do wonder though, in their fevered dreams, did they see Liz being anointed somewhere along the way? If so, yeah, there's a "we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling Trumps" aspect to ALL of this.

The world is run by the MBA/consultant class. They move from corporations to politics and back, they live in the same neighborhoods, attend the same schools, and fuck each other's wives, and they all think the same. They've been living off the accumulated social, economic, and political capital of previous generations, using it to pay for whatever hare-brained scheme they come up with, and leveraging it to make promise after promise to voters, the same way new management ruins a once-healthy business. The problem is that the capital has run out, and now they suddenly find that they can't honor all their debts. So they're cooking the books, trying to keep the whole system running just long enough that either a miracle occurs, or they can cash out and leave shareholders (the voters) to clean up the mess.

Pretty much as I see it. Remember it's McCarthy who lives with Luntz. While I'm not knocking it at all, because she deserved to be ousted, my cynicism tells me it's not as it appears. It's to placate the dumb hillbillies. McCarthy hasn't had some come to Jesus moment for the party. The farthest I'll go is that there are some R reps who are more in line with Trump (and us), and have been stymied all this time. They were probably more than happy to get rid of her. But to think there's some undercurrent of conservatism or Trumpism coming forth from the likes of McCarthy and his pals is not a carrot I'm going to chase.

While I would love to have a fire-breather like Marjorie Taylor-Greene in leadership, I'll happily settle for someone who knows which way the wind is blowing with the base, and follows it.
The minimum we should expect in a party is a working system where the desires of the base get transmitted to leadership, and are successfully executed from there. I want a system that ensures that flawed, self-interested politicians are incentivized to do the right thing by their true bosses - the voters.
If Stefanik can do that, and make the rest of the flawed leadership do that, I'm happy. Actions, not words.

I always mention it but its quintessential and therefore serves well. In October '18, literally at the 11th hour before the mid-terms, McCarthy staged a border visit. Full of (poorly delivered) faux passionate rhetoric about ..... doing something about the problem that the House GOP had done literally *nothing* about for the past 2 years, while providing zero support to Trump's efforts to actually do a lot.
This one thing provides all the info one needs about McCarthy, his (lack of) substantive interest in anything important, his perception of what's needed to keep the GOP sheep supporting him, and, sadly, much of the GOP electorate.

Pretty much as I see it. Remember it's McCarthy who lives with Luntz. While I'm not knocking it at all, because she deserved to be ousted, my cynicism tells me it's not as it appears. It's to placate the dumb hillbillies. McCarthy hasn't had some come to Jesus moment for the party. The farthest I'll go is that there are some R reps who are more in line with Trump (and us), and have been stymied all this time. They were probably more than happy to get rid of her. But to think there's some undercurrent of conservatism or Trumpism coming forth from the likes of McCarthy and his pals is not a carrot I'm going to chase.

When Cheney and company released the information about McCarthy renting from Luntz, I wondered if it was a shot across the bow or if that was the best she could do?
It appears the rental thing was all Cheney had. Funny thing, from a congressional grift standpoint, McCarthy is relatively benign.

This is somewhat revisionist history. After mid-May of last year (at the very latest), all the lockdown nonsense was totally the fault of state and local officials. Trump jawboned on "getting on with life" constantly. I don't know how many times I heard him say "open it up" in campaign speeches. Blame Trump for "2 weeks to slow the spread" if you like... that would be fair. But to blame him for the last year of idiocy is nonsensical.

I think PDT honestly thought his "America First" agenda would get
traction with the GOP and was shocked when both the GOP and DNC declared
war on him.
Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing at May 12, 2021 12:15 PM (2SdPm
No, what PDT got elected for was to build a wall (and more broadly to do everything that symbolized). He was fought tooth and nail by the Democrats and not supported by his own party, but he managed to get a lot done. Restoring the economy was probably Mission Number 2, and was the Greatest of All Time there. Both of those were higher priorities than draining the swamp, and to a certain extent he needed the swamp, so he couldn't declare war on it.

But it does bother me he was a depressed, cold butt of a person.

Leaving aside the farce that "standing" has become, thanks to the ridiculous lawless judiciary and its clueless/worshipful legal cult that simply cannot admit the state of things. As when NGOs were deemed to have standing to sue on behalf of foreigners, outside the US, who had no connection whatsoever to anything in the US, other than their desire to come here.
Of course there's the Volksgericht-level farce of the DC Circuit in the way, but the Beltway GOP is not serious about any important policy matter, certainly not enough to engage in lawfare, so it's kinda moot.

Almost to the last person, nearly every great comedian and comic writer in the past has been personally miserable or experienced great misery in their lives.
That's part of why comedians aren't really funny any more. They have experienced no real difficulty or sadness in their lives, only perceived miseries like a billionaire's child throwing a fit because their dress is too slow coming in the mail.

On November 9, 2016 Paul Ryan pledged to work with the Senate and Drumpf to enact Republican legislation. One half assed temporary tax cut was the sum total, more than offset by the Mueller investigation, an ethics probe against Devin Nunes and dragging his geeky ass on crafting a terrible Gaylordcare replacement plan which McCain scuttled in probably an inadvertent good move.
There's surely more but recalling those is depressing enough...

To Ismail Haniya, and the leaders and operatives of Hamas:
We, the people of Israel, owe you a huge debt of gratitude. You have succeeded where we have failed. Because never before, in the history of the modern State of Israel, has the Jewish people been so united, like one person with one heart. Everyone in Israel, from Left to Right, secular and religious, in united in the knowledge that there is no accommodating an enemy that is sworn to the genocide of our people.
And now, as you continue to launch deadly missiles indiscriminately, intended to maim and murder as many civilians as possible, while you take cowardly refuge behind your own civilians - you continue to inspire us to hold strongly onto our unity. Whatever disputes we Jews may have with each other, we now know that we have one common goal: we will defeat you.

But we are offering you now one last chance. Within 24 hours, all rocket fire - and I mean all rocket fire - will cease. Completely. Forever.
I give you formal notice that our tanks are massed at the Gaza border, with artillery and air support at the ready. We have already dropped leaflets over the northern parts of the Gaza strip, warning civilians of our impending arrival, and that they should evacuate southward, forthwith. If you fail to meet our ultimatum, we are coming in, and, with God's help, this time we will not leave. Every centimeter of land that we conquer will be annexed to Israel, so that there will *never* be another attack launched at our civilians from there.

Even so, we will continue to keep the door open to allow you to surrender gracefully. The moment you announce that you are laying down arms, we will halt our advance, and there we will draw our new borders. If you continue to attack our citizens, we will continue to roll southwards, driving you out of territory that you will never again contaminate with your evil presence.
It pains me deeply that your civilians will be made homeless. But we did not choose this war; you did. And if our choice is between allowing our citizens to be targeted mercilessly by your genocidal savagery, versus turning your civilians into refugees, I regret that we must choose the latter. If only you loved your people as much as you hate ours, this war would never have happened.

I fully expect McCarthy to have to do nothing else after Cheney in order to keep his position. The Red Team/Blue Team thing will regel next year, along with a lot of moderate anger at the deteriorating effect of the country.

when my wife was pregnant with first kid, we got one of those overhead projectors they used to have in schools, before computers. I got some transparent plastic sheets of "paper" put them in a copy machine and copied a couple of appropriate selections onto the transparency paper.
We then projected the toon onto the nursery wall, and used colored markers to trace/color it in. (Tested first to see that a marker blocking paint would cover if we made a mistake - it would). Came out great. 17 years later, toons still on the wall of now, middle kid's bedroom.

This is always a good idea. Pulitzer-Prize winning author James Gould Cozzens was a recluse who, for some reason, agreed to be the subject of a cover story in Time magazine. The story was written to make him look like a reactionary loon, while he was actually not political at all. It ruined his reputation. None of his books is in print. More's the pity.

Sorry, wrong. Every state constitution contains the powers to do what the states ended up doing without the feds ordering anything. The states' powers in that regard are much stronger than the Fed power, and the Fed emergency order was only about money and resource allocation, not ordering lockdowns.
In fact, the FEMA act requires the states to take primary responsibility for the welfare of their citizens in an emergency. All the largest states are run by DemonRats and they saw their opportunity to destroy the economy and "get Trump", so they did.

New Oxford American Dictionary
usage: There is considerable overlap between the meaning and use of insure and ensure. In both US and British English, the primary meaning of insure is the commercial sense of providing financial compensation in the event of damage to property; ensure is not used at all in this sense.
For the more general senses, ensure is more likely to be used, but insure and ensure are often interchangeable, particularly in US English: bail is posted to insure that the defendant appears for trial / the system is run to ensure that a good quality of service is maintained.

Except that it's nice in theory, but damn near impossible to do in practice. Bad people have no problem scamming you to make you think that they are doing the right thing just long enough to get their payout and run.

and this is exactly the problem.
they can use their money and never dying status to just outlast public opinion. The pendulum swings but only if there is energy from the public, otherwise, it never swings back, at all. RR was a swing. Trump was a swing. We thought Bush was a swing, but he just talked and then did the things War Inc. wanted. At the end of the day, the best case scenario is that the swings maintain a weak status quo. In practice, because the energy flags, but the corporate money never does, things only get worse.

They think they have to get every single voter. The luntz polls tell them that the republicans are split some rino's think trump lost fair and square, some gop don't. Trump got a lot of independents, and democrats to vote for him, but those people wont vote GOP in the midterms. They might vote for trump presidency in 2024, but that's not the next issue.
They are trying to square the circle to win back the house. McCarthy wants to be speaker. I want Nancy Pelosi gone. They need to focus on making Nancy Pelosi GONE, not on what republican is being mean to another republican.

Saul Alinsky, in the early part of his book Rules for Radicals, wrote that it's not enough to put your representative in power. You have to keep the pressure on them to do the right thing after they get elected to office as well.

Could be. I'll allow him that. But way below on the scale of importance, imho, is his being Speaker or ousting Pelosi, when compared to the overthrowing of a national election by way of negating the American voters' choice for president. Maybe it's just me, but that's pretty damned important in the scheme of things.

Remember. When they had their little secret vote, TWO THIRDS OF THEM thought it was a good idea to keep Cheney.

I always viewed Schultz as a WWI soldier who really didn't like the Nazis but was trying to get to retire and survive. And Klink, nobody is THAT dumb, he was at least partly sympathetic to the Allies.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 12, 2021 12:40 PM (KZzsI)
Shultz ran a toy manufacturing company before the war. There was a show where the POWs faked the war being over and Klink was angling to get a job with Shultz' company after the war.

Let them try. She's so worthless that she will drag down their ratings even farther. Nobody wants to watch some old lady whine about how much she was wronged.
