The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
I want to be very clear up front: not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career. But the extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division. But together, we can and we must choose a different path forward. No, I really mean it. We have to. The future of unity, of hope, of optimism. We're going to choose to build a better America! A better America!The overt calls for an emotive and amorphous change in America is chilling in its focus on the body politic as unified. It is hugely important to the structure of our political process that we are not unified. We are a constitutional republic, and the rights of the minority are carefully protected. The dismissal and vilification of that minority (even granting that the Biden junta won) is simply a call for the destruction of our country as founded. Sadly, that political minority...the people we elected to represent and defend our interests...have abrogated all responsibility for the preservation of the political structure that is designed to protect our freedom. Instead of mounting a vigorous defense of that structure, and a rousing frontal attack on the Biden junta's attempts at destroying our freedoms, they triangulate and obfuscate and play tactical political games for short-term success, ignoring the existential danger to our republic. The really pathetic part of this sordid and disgusting chapter in our history is that it would be so very, very easy to present to the American people an alternative to our descent into socialist, communitarian hell. A simple explanation of why government control is sucking the liberty out of our country, replete with examples from around the world is too complicated for our current crop of politicians? Any reasonably well-read adult should be able to defend free markets and our constitution with very little effort. That McConnell and McCarthy are not in front of the cameras every single day, dismantling every socialist program that the junta proposes or rams down our throats is a clear indication of their true political philosophy...that of corrupt grifters who seek personal power and wealth over any other goal...including the freedom of the American people.

I was driving home and the radio news played that clip, instant radio off reflex. Oh and we were already aware that many Republican politicians were not onboard with MAGA, but only with making the DC beltway ever more rich and powerful you senile old pervert. That is why we love Trump. He wants to make his country great, not just get rich or in his case richer.

This! We need a cogent response that dismantles the left's policies. We ARE for a clean environment and renewable energy - just not at the expense of birds and strip mining for rare minerals for batteries. We are for educational access for all - just not expensive bloated DIE bureaucracies. And we need colorblind policies - judge people on their efforts or provide assistance based specifically on limiting factors (ie poverty - not skin color).

I'm sure MSNBC or CNN would love to have them on every day, they're so freak'n weak they can't even handle the likes of Don Lemon or whoever MSNBC has. McConnell won't even go on FOX and McCarthy will only go on FOX if it's Shannon Brean or Hannity feeding him pre-submitted questions.

I don't what to hear how putting America First/MAGA candidates in office is going to fix what is a broken political system at its root.

Uniparty is real bro. The politicos have a common interest which we do NOT share. They actually resent the idea that the people interfered with their scheme by electing Trump, who is not in the uniparty. The idea that an actual patriot can be elected to the Presidency is an existential threat. It means that they may never be rid of that type of president in the Future. So "his kind" must never rise again. They blast billions of dollars out their collective ass every year and don't want anyone calling them on it. They spend money we don't have, with no real public debate, and most of the time without ever reading the damn bill. This a circus of flaming clowns with boners, piling into the clown car and making a scene out of buckling their seat belts, as the car prepares to explode. Ha. Ha.

There are really no good choices in America anymore. The Democrats want us dead, and the GOP wants us subservient.

60 It's not just McConnell and McCarthy. It's the majority of the rank and file Republican Party that's on board with this shit. I don't what to hear how putting America First/MAGA candidates in office is going to fix what is a broken political system at its root. That's like putting fresh gas in a lawnmower with a roached engine. It's not the gas, it's the mower that needs replacing.

They only side burning down cities and calling for violence is the Left and their political leaders.

Biden said it in his speech. MAGA is calling for violence and political unrest, yet it's left wing pAntifa and BLM that's burning, looting and murdering.
EVERYTHING the left accuses the right of doing, they're doing 10fold. EVERYTHING.
Yet NO ONE on the right calls him on it.

I know because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans my whole career.
The real goal is to have an Iranian-style "Assembly of Experts", who determines who is and is not eligible to run for office.
A controlled opposition, in other words.
Another example is the Russian system, where a number of "opposition candidates" are allowed to run against Putin for president, but any real opponent, such as Navalny, is barred from running.
Only "good Republicans" should be allowed to run for President, you see.

Here's a piece of legislation that the donors are obviously very eager for, and the GOP has to scramble to find 10? Mitch can't force 10 to vote his way?
He's probably thinking that letting it go down will give the Ds another lever to pull on for November. After he's safely in the minority again, he can let it pass to assuage the donors and shrug "what could I do?" for the base.

For guys that always yammer on about their legacy, that legacy is sure to be remembered with the same fondness as Vichy and Benedict Arnold receive.
If MAGA/Trump wins, and they help in dismantling the Biden fascist state and restoring the economy and culture. They will be remembered as heroes.
If MaGA/Trump wins and they oppose, but MAGA/Trump still triumph, they will be remembered as traitors, pawns of China and Davos, and the worst of their generation,
If MAGA/Trump loses and the Democrats/Biden wins and accomplishes their goals, well then, they have no use any longer for the likes of Turtle and McCarthy. They be cast off as horrible semi-fascist Republicans and traitors and land in the camps/prison.

That McConnell and McCarthy are not in front of the cameras every single day, dismantling every socialist program that the junta proposes or rams down our throats is a clear indication of their true political philosophy...

lefties are giddy this morning over two new polls claiming Charlie Crist is within spitting distance of beating DeSantis.
Which, of course, is pure polling fantasy. DeSantis will win this election by at least six points, and more likely eight. IMO.

Just received my NYC rifle and shotgun permit - took about a year. I own an M14, a semiauto rifle legal (with modifications) in NY state, from my time as a resident of a free state that I've kept in storage there until I was legal. Now I find the state has changed the law regarding semiauto rifles - 3 days ago - that mandates applying for an entirely new permit in addition to the rifle/shotgun license... which will take another year. In the meantime, a hundred people are shot a month by gang scum who wouldn't be able to read a permit even if they'd ever seen one.

We still hang on to the vestiges of American Exceptionalism, and one of its tenets -- perhaps its bedrock -- is individualism.
I've seen absolutely nothing in the last two decades to support this. I understand why you wish it to be true. I wish it were true. But I've seen nothing to support it, from the reaction to 9/11, through the Obama reign of error, and only amplified via Covid and BLM.
Prior to that ? Individualism was only encouraged as our trump card over Soviet style uniformity during the Cold War. But even then, it was individual effort in support of the collective goal. Never individuality for the sake of pleasing the individual. That I've never seen supported, in any numbers, socially or politically.

Sadly, that political minority...the people we elected to represent and defend our interests...have abrogated all responsibility for the preservation of the political structure that is designed to protect our freedom.

That's why they're running a stroke patient in PA, because they'll send a Chief of Staff from DC to tyrant over the state, while Fetterman learns the joys of Ice Cream and teleprompters. This is taking "meat puppet" to a dystopian level, soon it will be a brain in a jar.

A renewed nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is “off the table” for the foreseeable future, President Joe Biden told Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid, according to a report in Hebrew media.
That means that it will be signed next week.
Speaking of attacking the GOPe, the agreement they made with Obama to have Congress "approve" the Iran Deal without requiring two-thirds approval in the Senate, was stomach-turning.

MAGA Republicans today are shifts toward formerly Democratic positions: protect industrial jobs through tariffs, fair trade instead of free trade, oppose endless foreign wars. Otherwise MAGA is traditional conservatism.
Posted by: Ted Torgerson
----------------------------
Support for tariffs and industry growth is actually a very old Republican policy running through the New Deal. Combating communism internationally is what caused the GOP to abandon it.
Ditto with wars. So it is safer to say that MAGA is returning America to its roots as well as the GOP. Essentially, GOPe that hijacked the GOP party is globalism values--invade the world, invite the world nonsense. It basically envisages voters as replaceable sheep to be shorn by big donors and America's blood and treasure as resources to be plundered for foreign entities as long as the GOPe boys get their cut.

His is actually correct... we want the old America back. The one that freed the slaves and gave women the vote. The one that LEFT US ALONE unless we did something nasty. The one that did not tell us to wear masks, or order us to get Experimental Gene Therapy shots. The one that did not PUSH Racism on us, nor force us to Celebrate Queers. The one that PUNISHED Men for using Ladies bathrooms, not the women who complained about it.
Yeah, I want my old America back you fucktards. If the future is Transexuals telling me to take a Gene Therapy shot, enforced by 87,000 new IRS agents WITH GUNS?

Libs can't see any single issue that they can't turn into a (negative) "group trait".
So overturning Roe v. Wade, which is one type of argument, is a stepping stone to overturning Obergefell..., Griswold, Brown, ... and probably "reinstate Plessy".
The slippery slopes they fear are slippery are slippery, yours aren't.

All these stories about Democrats surging are total fake-news propaganda. Turnout will determine how big a GOP win November brings, and the activist press is desperately trying to suppress the GOP turnout.
Meanwhile, Meat Puppet is trying to talk about anything other than his failures. Larry O'Conner, no Trumpist for sure, nails it:
This brings us back to the historically unpopular Biden and his unhinged blood rant last week.
What you saw last week in the most divisive and vitriolic presidential address in modern American history was a giant, extravagant attempt to change the subject.

And how hard would it be for actual Republican leaders to explain that NO ONE was looking to "overturn" an election --which has been the deliberately misleading frame applied, with absolute discipline, by every Democrat politician and MSM source, including Fox, with the exception of a handful of its hosts such as Tucker and Jesse Kelly.
We, and pretty much everyone who showed up at the Capitol on J6, and President Trump (if I may presume) were essentially asking Congress to hold the phone and not "Certify" under conditions suggesting extreme shenanigans, unless or until there was some actual (expedited) vetting of the vote. The whole freaking point was to ascertain the vote, not "overturn" it.
Yet the whole "overturn the election" narrative has gone almost completely unquestioned, been repeated 1000 times, and is now part of the ingrained understanding of 50+% of the electorate.

The only way we can have "free trade", and not lose by default, is with other nation-states with very similar standards of living. Trade with any nation state with a lower standard of living must, by definition, eventually lower our standard while raising theirs. Great for them, not for us. There is no other nation with a higher standard of living than us, so there is no up-side, long term, for our standard of living when it comes to international "free trade".

Well said on this CBD:
"A simple explanation of why government control is sucking the liberty out of our country, replete with examples from around the world is too complicated for our current crop of politicians? Any reasonably well-read adult should be able to defend free markets and our constitution with very little effort."
One of Ayn Rand's principles was that people have to get to the point where they don't "sanction" the guilt that the Left uses on it's victims (us).
Nearly all of the plays in the Left's playbook rely on good people accepting the guilt trip they are using. You MUST feel guilty for your hard earned success, for the sins of long dead slave holders, for the homeless, for your privledge (of being born white - and in America), etc, etc.
I think any politician who can articulate the reasons why people should not automatically accept this guilt, and why there is virtue in our country, system, and people (as founded) will change hearts and minds.
It's like we need an "Educator Of The People In Chief" to give provide the guidance and clarity they didn't get in their woke classrooms.

This brings us back to the historically unpopular Biden and his unhinged blood rant last week.
What you saw last week in the most divisive and vitriolic presidential address in modern American history was a giant, extravagant attempt to change the subject.

The only way we can have "free trade", and not lose by default, is with other nation-states with very similar standards of living. Trade with any nation state with a lower standard of living must, by definition, eventually lower our standard while raising theirs. Great for them, not for us. There is no other nation with a higher standard of living than us, so there is no up-side, long term, for our standard of living when it comes to international "free trade".
Posted by: Way Huge at September 07, 2022 11:42 AM (gy1wP)
Not just this, but also very very few other nations would not monkey with their tariffs to give themselves competitive advantage. Like with immigration, we are the only country on earth expected to just lie back and think of England.

Actually, support for Tariffs was one of the Reasons the Republican party came into existence. One of the triggers for Civil War 1 was the 'Tax' Policies using Tariffs, that affected Southern States much more than Northern States....

True, but that was mostly the predecessor Whig party. Democrats, who were agarians particularly in the South needed international markets to sell their excess agri products and wanted to buy cheap goods abroad rather than employing Yankees.
Most of politics is who gets what policy from the political process. The Whig party relied on nationalism to keep together which is why they picked generals and that meant tariffs and import restrictions.

Government does nothing well should be a guiding principle in all policy frameworks.

Same here. Not a red cent more. The Republicans are going to have to earn my support the hard way. By actually fucking standing for something and standing up to these communist animals. Once they do that I'll consider sending them money. But not until. In the meantime they will very, very grudgingly still get my vote because the alternative is even worse.

249 So Biden is asking moderate/non-MAGA Republicans to join the Dem sin defeating Trump and his supporters. Well, I'm sure that will work out well for them after Dems destroy that last real domestic threat to their power. They may even be allowed to remain as small token opposition and share in the graft as long as they mostly shut-up and approve what is put in front of them. For a few years anyway.

If only she had been armed, gun or non lethal, and maybe had a jogging buddy at that hour she might still be with us. No excuse for going unarmed in this day and age (looks at little NAA mini revolver for those quick runs to the store).

I think this is largely true. I agree with whig that there really is no such think as international law governing trade but there are trade deals between nations that set rules.
We allowed globalists in DC to sign absurd multi-nation deals that without exception worked to our detriment. One of the more important things Trump did, and the globalists hated him for, was beginning to renegotiate some of those deals to level the playing field. China can no longer ship steel to Canada and then import it into the US as low cost Canadian steel.
If you travel around the world one thing you don't see a lot of is US cars and trucks. It's not just because our products are inferior or unions, it's because there are huge tariffs.

DeSantis is going to romp over Crist. Stop worrying about it.
About Lake and Masters. Lake has an easier time because her opponent is terrible.
Masters will still likely win because Kelly has a voting record to defend, but he is a better candidate than the Dem Gov candidate.
Pay attention to the undecided number in any poll, ignore the top line horserace number. Those undecideds will not vote Dem. The question is will they vote or not.

It was an uniparty decision until the New Deal coalition fell apart in 1968. The New Dems past 1968 embraced communism and socialism (see Ted Kennedy for example) while the GOP adopted the more damaging parts of the former Democrat party--pointless nonexistential wars and promoting Wall Street over Main Street through cheap labor, excessive deficit spending, and letting Wall Street run wild.

I'm in favor of limited government, almost to a fault. Any protectionist policies should be limited in scope and time, otherwise, you just end up with another political fiefdom and entrenched interests warping the market to their ends. Government does nothing well should be a guiding principle in all policy frameworks.
But you can't ignore every other nation state on the planet. None of them are believers in limited government. None. So we're going to have to do one of two things; either embrace government intervention in our international dealings with other nation states or continue to get robbed blind.
In International matters, we'd be best embracing protectionism, because every else is doing it as well, to our detriment. In Domestic matters, however, we should leave the citizens to do commerce as they wish. It really is that simple.

At a minimum they should be required to announce, publicly, how much their family's wealth increased during their most recent term of office. They should then be required, should that amount exceed their Congressional salary and whatever their spouse might earn, to explain where that money came from.
After retirement, this should continue and any sudden jumps in wealth should be confiscated. After all, they need to pay their fair share.

There is no other nation with a higher standard of living than us, so there is no up-side, long term, for our standard of living when it comes to international "free trade".

Treated sewage from the region’s 8 million residents is a key contributor to the harmful San Francisco Bay algae bloom. But upgrading aging treatment plants will come with a huge price tag.
. . . .
While scientists suspect climate change played a role in triggering the bloom, what fueled it is not a mystery. Algae blooms need food to grow, and this one had plenty: nutrients originating in wastewater.

McConnell, McCarthy, Lizard Cheney, Murkowski, Crenshaw, etc etc etc are NOT "Republicans In Name Only". They are the Real Republicans Really Actually and Truly. The RRRATs are the heart and soul of the not so Grand Old Party. They like Bidenfurher. They agree with Spongebrain Shitpants. They are the Republican Party and they approve of this message. They despise their own voters and would happily watch us all get lined up on the wall and shot. I think that they are relieved that they no longer have to pretend anymore. The Biden junta is a kamikaze plane loaded with bombs and fuel diving into a burning and listing old battleship. It does not care about polls or elections because they don't matter anymore.

There actually is a Federal Law against Insurrection. It would seem to be guilty of insurrection, you would have to be convicted of said Federal Law, in a Trial.

This was a lawfare stunt from the diseased mind of Marc Elias and they found a small rural court judge willing to take a flyer on it. I guarantee you that that particular judge did not do the necessary skullsweat to pump out a 49 page opinion on the case. But, as the case revolves around the 14th Amendment disqualification clause, that means it has a federal question which allows the case to be removed to federal courts for resolution. At the time, no competent authority declared an insurrection so ipso facto, you cannot do in it hindsight.

I think Pat Buchanan outlined this over 30 years ago. And was reviled for it IIRC. Bottom line is that he was right.
He did. I was in high school when he did it. And even then, my simple understanding of Adam Smith, and about thirty seconds of thought, was all it took to realize that he was right.
The point isn't that I'm smart. Its that ANYBODY could have seen he was right. If only they were willing to accept the obvious conclusion.

Why on earth do you believe ANY of these conjured-up numbers?
==
Well, mostly its only J. Xiden. TBF, he also believed them when they said Hillary was going to blow out Trump. So at least he's consistent.

Yes an over simplified position but Free Trade should be the default position and tariffs should only be used as a response to unfair trade practices. That includes state subsidized products. It shouldn't be used as protectionism or to balance trade IMHO.

If your country buys $1 Trillion in goods from a nation, but only sells $1 Billion in goods to that nation ? Keep it up for very long, and that other nation will own you. Even if their practices are fair. You damn well better institute protectionism - or you won't remain an independent country for long. You'll be their servant.

By this theory western Europe benefits from cutting off imports of Russian oil and gas.

-----------------
In the long run yes, Europe has quite a bit of nat gas reserves available via fracking and coal that can be used for energy. Plus nukes. The reliance on Russia was simply stupidity.

It’s still 8 weeks to go and that is a long time in politics. But as of now it is not looking good. And pretending otherwise does nobody any good.

So, since I'm assuming you're pushing reverse psychology to get R voters to vote and to not let them assume anything will just happen if they don't put in the work - I applaud you.
But, don't push the reverse psychology so far as to take bets on your thoughts to get out our votes, b/c you'll be going bankrupt in November...

Donald Trump stole Top Secret Highly Classified Nuclear Documents. He has put our Nation in danger. No more deference. No more political considerations. No man is above the law. Time to make an arrest.
Rob, Rob, Rob, isn't there a truck stop that needs a new glory hole worker?

Not living in Florida any longer, but I can tell you he was popular for not doing much. I recollect he brought electronic tolling to the Turnpike, but I can't recall anything else.

Charlie was popular for being a do nothing lying grifter with his lips super-glued to Big Real Estate's backside.
The only people that want him back would vote for Adolph himself if he was on the Democrat ticket.
Charlie is dead meat on toast. Whatever poll that has him -4 to Ronaldus Maximus II is utter garbage.
More like -40.

Yup. I mean in theory free trade sounds great. Frankly they sold me. Clearly tho, since Nafta, things have not gone well at all. You could make an argument that it is better for the investor class. However that argument focuses mainly on short term evaluations. The Country as a whole is weaker. Dependent and at risk, from supply chain issues alone. We lose manufacturing, we lose skills, we become dependent. Which would matter less if the world were one big happy family under one government. It is, however, not. It is a multiparty complex, dynamic, adverse party system, which is most efficient if each player tries to maximize its own safety, security and trade efficiency, that incentivizes cooperative arrangements where parties maximize their long term gains, but fitting reciprocal needs into trade agreements.

His is actually correct... we want the old America back. The one that freed the slaves and gave women the vote. The one that LEFT US ALONE unless we did something nasty. The one that did not tell us to wear masks, or order us to get Experimental Gene Therapy shots. The one that did not PUSH Racism on us, nor force us to Celebrate Queers. The one that PUNISHED Men for using Ladies bathrooms, not the women who complained about it.
Yeah, I want my old America back you fucktards. If the future is Transexuals telling me to take a Gene Therapy shot, enforced by 87,000 new IRS agents WITH GUNS?
Yeah. I'll take the old America.

here are no real rules in international law--only what individual countries can enforce using its own military and economic power.
Manufacturing used to the giant companies in the US and along with their employees could make sure the US did not screw itself in negotiations. Retail became the big giants and retailers don't really care where the product comes from as long as they get their vig. Ditto for finance industry--they make money on international cash flows with less risk than loaning the money themselves anymore.

90 years ago a "documentary" was made on the "wonderful" things done by The Socialist Workers's Party. It had men from all over the country say "1 people, 1 country, 1 leader". By their very distinct accents you knew they were from "diverse" areas; like a Queens, Bklin, Bronx accent of 70 years ago.
The proper American translation of the name is - The Triumph of the COLLECTIVE Will. Most Americans leave COLLECTIVE out.
As with most "documentaries" it was propaqanda!
