The scramble to re-brand the "Inflation Reduction Act" as the "Everything Except Inflation Reduction Act" is an all-hags-on-deck priority:

Literal State Media NPR: The GOP "feuded" with the "mainstream media" (no one calls the propaganda corporate media that but themselves any longer).

Are you sure the corporate propaganda media didn't feud with the GOP?

Now the GOP is shutting we, the media out -- and now they're going to get one-sided coverage, and it's all Republicans' fault we'll be giving them one-sided coverage!

Defund, and also: Cancel their broadcast licenses. They have no right to the airwaves. The airwaves are held in public trust for the public good, not for the good of the most privileged, most over-served 30% of the population.

There should be a diversity of voices heard on the nation's airwaves, not the same c*nty establishment white progressive twats on every single frequency.

More of GOP's brutality on display: "Texas GOP governor sends migrants to New York City."

When illegals are being sent to leftwing cities, suddenly it's "brutality."

But even "Hot Air Conservative" Jen Rubin supports sending Texas' illegals to NYC:

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin

@JRubinBlogger

Replying to @DeanObeidallah

I dunno. Sending people to arguably the greatest city in the world where they'll get work and be welcomed seems good. God forbid they should have to live in Texas-- with gun violence, a flaky grid, forced birth, etc.

Fusilli Spock

@awstar11
I hear Chicago is a great and safe city too.

No "forced births," as Noted Conservative Jen Rubin calls "live births," either.

More reactions to this Noted Conservative at Twitchy.

Is that real? No, it's fake, as a thousand "fact" checkers are flooding the zone to let you know.

But that is the kind of thing that NeverTrumpers and the hard left -- but I once again repeat myself -- come very close to saying. When the public disagrees with their Enlightened Urban Effete Cosmopolitan Progressive Religion, they are increasingly brazen about just arguing that we need to Do Something About Democracy, Because It Keeps Being Wrong!

And these people, being, unaccountably, "elites" in the media and government, have the real ability to actually rig an election if they so choose.

And they do so choose.

In fact, they openly bragged about "fortifying" the 2020 election to "save it" from being won by Trump.

The media, the leftwing constellation of dark money groups, and the leftwing tech oligarchy pushes two messages at the same time:

1, the election wasn't rigged and if you say so, you are a Russian Asset and we will ban you and attempt to get you fired and made unemployable, and

2, we want credit for having been daring enough to rig the election for you.

Mollie Hemingway: People should expect there to be major action on FBI corruption if Republicans take power.

Let's change that to people should demand major action. I think we expect nothing.

"The FBI is in complete crisis," Hemingway said. "They have been embroiled in so many scandals, whether it's being way too involved in setting up kidnapping attempts in a way that meddled in the 2020 election, weaponizing the Russian collusion hoax which interfered with so many other elections, going after parents for the crime of wanting to know what curriculum is being taught. You know, covering up this investigation into Hunter Biden by putting out a disinformation operation against it."

"Christopher Wray doesn't seem to think it's a big deal at all. Obviously nothing is going to happen so long as Democrats are in power but when Republicans take the House I think people should expect major action to deal with these two standards of justice at the FBI and Department of Justice," Hemingway said.

Least surprising thing in the world how quickly the NeverTrumpers are becoming NeverDeSantis. But they were already mostly NeverRepublican, so the surprise would be in they supported anyone who wasn't Liz Cheney or Larry Hogan.

Oh no! Pediatricians are throwing out Baby's First Unneccessary Experimental Vaccine due to lack of demand.

When COVID-19 vaccines for children under 5 finally rolled out in June, doctors expected to face hesitant parents. Surveys had predicted that only one in five would jump at the chance to vaccinate their littlest children right away.
But in the six weeks since, the uptake has proven even weaker than feared.
Nationally, as of figures reported on Aug. 3, 3.83 percent of children age 6 months until 5 years had received at least one dose of vaccine. In Massachusetts, which provided more current data, the number was 11 percent, one of the highest rates in the nation but still lower than any other age group in the state.
Seizing every opportunity to vaccinate, doctors are opening 10-dose vials during regular office visits, knowing they probably won't use all the vaccine and will have to throw some out. Once a vial has been punctured, its contents must be used or discarded within 12 hours.
"It feels yucky. I hate waste," said Dr. Wayne Altman, a family physician in Arlington. His practice has had a comparatively high uptake of vaccine, with about one-quarter of eligible patients getting it. Still, he has not once used up every dose in a vial.

Don't worry, Pfizer's still being paid. That's the real point of this exercise.

"Yucky." You can always tell a leftist because they deliberately speak like children.

They want to be confused with children.

Why would an adult deliberately speak in a childish way, as if desiring to be mistaken for a child?

Who can say why? It's a mystery.

Meanwhile, lefties are still hysterical about anti-grooming measures and complain they won't protect student from grooming, just drive away good educators (who are groomers).

From a couple of weeks ago: The Babylon Bee offered substitutes for the now-banned word "groomer" -- banned precisely because it was accurate.

My favorite, of course, is "Person of Grooming."

Oh, this sad leftist shill is still shilling.

Kevin Smith has weighed in on Warner Bros. Discovery scrapping the Batgirl movie starring Leslie Grace. The move made by the conglomerate has caused shockwaves in the industry and Smith, who is a comic book aficionado and writer, shared his thoughts on his YouTube series Hollywood Babble-On.
"It's an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latina Batgirl movie," Smith said in the video. "I don't give a sh** if the movie was absolute f***ing dogsh** -- I guarantee you that it wasn't. The two directors who directed that movie did a couple of episodes of Ms. Marvel, and it was a wonderful f****ing show and they had more money to do Batgirl than they had to do an episode of Ms. Marvel and stuff."

Note his only complaints about this are based on race.

Here's another charity case who doesn't make money who's upset.

1, your heart had the right idea five years ago, and 2, go make another She-Man movie and then lie about it when people accurately reporting on the bait-and-switch you're pulling.

Ms Marvel is the lowest-earning Marvel superhero show ever. The writing was terrible, with characters literally asking the same questions as the audience would, and being told "that doesn't matter" and then moving on as if that settled things.

I'm not sure that Ms Marvel even made any money but its super hard to get solid data on streaming shows.

73 Pointless bitching and moaning of the day. The new generation of consles and videogames is truly amazing causing many to post videos of the gameplay on YouTube described as "Ultra Realistic". "Ultra realistic" apparently means you can grab a gun, be wounded over and over, and still kill scores or even hundreds of enemies. Here are two such videos.

Pacific theater: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7KJdwlMgw

The Last Tiger: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6V19jwKnEs&t=1064s

I don't know what the reality was but the Tiger video above shows a steering wheel and a large interior in which you could have face to face conversations.

So that's ultra realistic for you.

77 From an earlier post:

All of my GOP friends who are worried about 87,000 IRS enforcement agents coming after the little guy... How about just don't cheat on tax returns? A fully truthful and accurate tax return is bulletproof in an audit. I never understood the fear of an IRS audit. Don't lie. Period.

I remember when I naively joined with the neocons during the Bush 43 Administration making this exact argument regarding the Patriot Act. "Why be worried about the government wiretapping your phone calls? How about just not making phone calls with terrorists and you're bulletproof. Don't make phone calls with terrorists. Period."

People like me look back at this naive argument with shame and lesson learned about government power overreach. But the Left has done a complete 180 from their anti-Patriot Act stance and are now full pro-government tyranny. Because they are the ones able to be tyrannical.

Hey. I have an idea! Lets go after the people that label voters and politicians like me terrorists and the greatest security threat to this country and have the full power and backing of the federal government, people within both political parties law enforcement and the mainstream media!

I know it wouldn't be easy or maybe impossible but I'm sure AF curious how the hell we're supposed to pull this off? This sucks. Nobody, not even Mollie Hemingway seems to have a plan or ideas.
Any of the commenters here that are slamming Trump endlessly for not draining the swamp have any ideas on what Trump could have done then or what MAGA politicians can do going forward to combat this without being labeled insurrectionists and getting hauled off to the jail?

I had a Maine Coon who lived to be 19. In the last several years of her life, she didn't groom herself well enough and I'd have to brush out her coat at least once a day or she'd get knots. She HATED being brushed under the arms and the belly, so I had to go through a small death struggle with her daily to brush her completely.

I wish I'd thought of something like that to prevent bites.

158 All of my GOP friends who are worried about 87,000 IRS enforcement agents coming after the little guy... How about just don't cheat on tax returns? A fully truthful and accurate tax return is bulletproof in an audit. I never understood the fear of an IRS audit. Don't lie. Period.

I remember when I naively joined with the neocons during the Bush 43 Administration making this exact argument regarding the Patriot Act. "Why be worried about the government wiretapping your phone calls? How about just not making phone calls with terrorists and you're bulletproof. Don't make phone calls with terrorists. Period."

Now do Driving While Black.

Absolutely no one, including President Trump, on the outside of the UniParty Establishment realized (or even had enough clues) to realize how absolutely corrupt and inbred the government apparatchiks are at every level. If he (Trump) had tried to fire or prosecute ALL the worthless scum inside the higher ranks of the Civil Service that needed to be fired (or jailed) the UniParty Congress would have had his head on an A25 platter faster than you can say "Hunter Biden is a crook!"

I think this is quite a bit more than that, this is a message, communicated in the most direct of ways, that they are in control, they do not intend relinquish control and we will arrest a former President, as if he was some trifle to be crushed underfoot.

Dark Days Ahead.

248 Nevermind. My question above is being answered.

I'm sure the FBI will find something incriminating. You can guarantee it.

251 This isn't some huge breaking point or anything, its just bizarre. Even if Trump had something incredibly incriminating at one point, why would he keep it there?

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 08, 2022 07:15 PM

Yep, his house is the last place he would keep anything incriminating even if something like that exists which I seriously doubt exists.

This is exactly what they told him in 2016 when he won and they said the IC would fvck him over after he claimed he was being spied on.

The deep state is going to do everything it can to make Trump not run again even if they have to make $hit up.

255 As you likely know, it has to articulate probable cause that evidence of a crime would he found in the place to be searched.

In theory yeah, I'd love to see what on earth they trotted out as probable cause to justify such an action. Seriously I'm curious as to what their legal claims are and who they got them from, because someone from NYC cannot go down to Florida and sack someone's house. They have to get local approval from that district.

I mean, sure they can easily come up with the same fraudulent crap they gave the FISA court, but I'd like to think a judge in that district would be less willing to buy into their baloney.

When the FBI or US Marshals come to arrest Trump, will a Secret Service agent or agents be allowed to accompany him continuously through the process? And in jail if a Democrat judge refuses to let him out on bail? I am sure Biden wants Trump to be subject to humiliation and more once he is out of sight of any his regular SS agents.

Chan plays an unassuming restauranteur whose kid gets killed by a faction of the IRA.

He decides to apply his dormant super-SF past to speed it up and get some violent justice.

The Rubicon has been crossed.
Any last thread of faith in the machine is on fire

Last thread of faith? It never fails. Every time this happens - when you have a fully entrenched, lawless police state running amok in front of your very eyes, there are always a lot of people standing around saying "man, this is bad. If it gets any worse, we might have to worry about a fully entrenched, lawless police state running amok!"

Every. Single. Time.

425 Polling must be horrific. They know that that November will be a bloodbath and that they need to a) depress republican turnout while b) giving their progressive base a reason to get out and vote.

The IRA was table scraps. This is red meat.

This kind of $hit will energize republican turnout in November. No clue why they are trying it now other than Trump is not at home and they decided to try a hail mary raid with no personal detail secret service agents there.

437 Doesn't matter how this appears to us or how incompetent we think they are. Thats not what matters. They need to keep up appearances with their co-religionists. This is why the left still goes on about Russia Collusion, Impeachment, the phone call, and the January 6 Insurrection. We know its BS and the leftists lemmings know any argument against it is Trump Cult Behavior and a Conspiracy Theory.

Facts don't matter to these people. What we think and know to be the truth means jackshit nothing to them.

Oh, and they also stole a presidential election and got away with it. This is just them tying up loose ends/mopping up.

We may want him to say something now, but if the fibbies walk out of there with video of T naked in bed with a live boy, or dead girl, it's over for him, and DeSantis sint about to jump off a cliff with him. That's not to say this isn't all B.S. It's simple prudence.

Ron DeSantis is the governor of Florida and enjoys considerable control over state law enforcement. If he can't stop bandits just because they're wearing badges, why assume he'll do any better with the Presidency?

It would be nice if he arrested the FBI force, but he has options to stop the next American Revolution before it can really start.

A federal judge had to sign off on that warrant to search a former Presidents residence in search of "something" and it must be material to a criminal charge.

I would not want to be that Federal Judge if this is just a panty raid and just meant to roust out a former President - 'career finished' doesn't even begin to cover what is about to happen to Judge Nincompoop next if it's determined this was just a fishing expedition in violation of 4th and 5th amendment rights and Judge Shit for Brains knew it or should have known it...

464 “The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.” — unknown author
