Wednesday Morning Rant [Joe Mannix]
Political prosecutions are malicious, but when they're targeted against a wildly popular former leader, they're also stupid. Bragg runs the risk of turning Trump into an even bigger martyr than he is already, which runs the risk of galvanizing support for their hate symbol.
Targeting parents who object at school board meetings is malicious, but it is also stupid because criminalizing attempts at reform for people who have alternatives - and private school or more likely home school are alternatives that are increasingly used - will result in them leaving after they begin to hate you. Destroying the oil industry is stupid because it will also destroy the economy, but it is also malicious because part of the motivation is the personal and financial destruction of those who dare question the church of Climate Change. Enacting price controls for prescription drugs rather than forcing manufacturers and distributors to comply with transparent pricing and enabling competition is stupid because it will shift - but not solve - the underlying problem, but it is also malicious because it continues to rob some people to pay off political friends (albeit by a different means). Legalizing crime is stupid because it makes the environment in which people live worse in every way, but it is also malicious because the people behind those rules want to destroy normal citizens by any means necessary. Destroying the world in the name of a severe cold was so stupid and so malicious that I go back and forth on which was the more important factor at which point in time - but both were certainly alive and well throughout. The list can run nearly to infinity. Sometimes the motivation of an action is malice. Sometimes it is stupidity. In all cases, the two feed on each other and grow bigger. Every stupid action will also be malicious. Every malicious action will also be stupid. Malice is the coin of the realm in Dunderland.Comments

You mean like Australia?
"The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) considered giving a license application to PaxVax Australia (PaxVax) for the intentional release of a GMO vaccine consisting of live bacteria into the environment in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria. They planned to release cholera on their people.
According to the regulator, this GMO vaccine qualified as a limited and controlled release under section 50A of the Gene Technology Act 2000."

They already have persecuted people on trumped up charges with the J6 guys or how they dealt with the vaxx. The current Trump stuff is just an outgrowth of that evolution.
As much as I am not as down on Trump, that does not mean I am down on DeSantis- however I think he, we and everyone is still caught in that retarded reaction loop where we do not believe the left is going to do what they are explicitly saying they are going to do. And so everyone gets trapped into just reacting to events. In this case, DeSantis wants to be seen as a leader within the movement, but he is waiting to react until after they have done the Trump Perp walk they so desperately crave.

Well Obama sees everything as a black v white problem. It is no coincidence that the reverse colonization of Europe started under his influence, and continues today. In the minds of his followers payment is due, and even white donks (primarily female) are ok with this.

But we do not even have a rival paramilitary group! Yet.
Plus, the comparison limps politically because you had one government and two rival factions (commies and Nazis) who were duking it out while that government just fiddled.
In this case, the commies are in charge of the government and the paramilitary groups (although IN CHARGE might be too strong in the case of BLM/Antifa.)

I saw Shazam 2 last night. It was a really fun movie. But the one downside - it had to have the ever so slightest gay subplot that was 30 seconds of screen time, b/c it had a true herterosexual teen romance for an hour...and you can't have one without giving a shoutout (which is literally all they did...there's no "gay" except a shout of "I'm gay" and one look at a magazine dressed pic)...
So, I felt my money was well spent, b/c the plot was good, the acting (especially with the teen romance and the wizard) was good, and the comedy mostly lands and is unwoke. And Shazam was the hero, not someone else. BUT, I did want to mention the one issue, b/c I watch so you don't have to.
For me, it's a pay to see matinee/cheap Tuesday movie for anyone 10+...but I'm not sure that will be for everyone...

That is how political minorities seize power in a Democracy---you have to manipulate people into believing that your version of reality is superior to objective reality. That requires ignoring history, economics, or any other rational process that denies will to power.
E.g. In reality, Bastista's Cuba was not a hellhole that the Commies portrayed it to be but Castro and his symps portrayed it as such to the US media in order to sideline the US in order to seize power.
Cuba under Castro is arguably a hellhole now but the Castro brothers are billionaires. Funny how that works in Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc.

Trump understands Narrative better than the entire GOP.
They are trying to turn him into Nixon. He knows this and wants to show he is anything but.
So he will do things that strike some as odd. It is either that or let the enemy define him.

There's a seeming lack of seriousness in all of this and it bothers the shit out of me. We say all the time that the climate emergency will look like an emergency when the elites start acting like it is.
The way Trump and Desantis are acting, they do not feel the way we feel. It's like the fans of the team being far more invested than the players.
I want Trump's arrest to be a spectacle because it is, not because Trump has a crew turn it into one. I want Desantis and Trump to act like our situation is bigger than them, but they won't.
Meanwhile, each of us here will get heated over shit that doesn't seem to bother them in the least.

Nope, things do change including the response of the right but often things get a lot worse because of denial of basic human nature. UK had to fight an existential war because they denied the nature of that Man in Germany and his followers. Churchill proposed the name for WWII as the Unnecessary War. Ditto for the Cold War because FDR and his leftist supporters denied the reality of the USSR.
In reality, there is no progression of history--it is cyclical with both advances in the human condition and regressions. There is no permanent victory only struggle to fight the wars of your age.

Nah, some do because they want to be a part of something bigger than them. The Lord via Samuel kept telling the Israelites, do you REALLY want a king to rule you? And a majority preferred that because it was the trendy thing at the time--all their surrounding enemies had a king so you got to keep up with the times.
A basic primer on humanity aka the Bible is that we are broken, sinful, prideful, and display a vast panoply of horrendous behavior--even the good guys like Noah slept with his daughters or had a man killed so he could sleep with the widow (David). Assuming anyone wanting the climb the greasy pole of power over others is a saint is beyond reckoning, yet even Nebuchadnezzar the tyrant, served the purposes of the Lord and Edward the Confessor widely recognized as a 'Saint' was an incompetent ruler that failed to provide for a legitimate successor to take the throne resulting in him being the last Saxon king.

Ackshewallee,
The origin of the word "dunderhead" is from the "dunder" which is the leftover lees and cane leavings from making rum, such as Jamaican rum.
Dunderheads were the poor alkies who couldn't afford rum so would steal dunder from the dunder pit or trash pit and suck it dry or eat it to go drunk.
This dunder having undistilled poor quality alcohol not to mention other mibrobioita generally fucked up the dunderheads already fucked up brains.
So, a dunderhead originally was not just a drunk but a totally messed up alcoholic idiot.
The origin of dunderhead makes it one of my favorite words.
BONUS!: The funk in Jamaican rums comes from a small amount of dunder mixed back into the rum

Look no farther than here. The NASA scientist is stating flat-out that it's happening, and people insist that it's not. Or we insist that the NASA scientist openly telling us that they're chemicals and they decided they needed to switch to only releasing them at night is wrong and the NASA scientist responsible for the missions doesn't understand that it's just a difference in temperature and it's condensation and everything is fine.
We don't WANT it to be happening because it's so disruptive to what we understood to be America.

Just like the young woman in Memphis that liked to jog in early morning darkness found out when she crossed paths with a criminally evil creep.
One of the worst things about modernity is that in order for mass society to exist, the Powers That Be used the school system to teach people that everyone is basically good, kind, deserving of respect, regardless of their actual actions.

NIST confirmed that some burning chairs were the reason all 80+ structural supports of WTC #7 failed simultaneously, and the failure had nothing to do any impact or other fuels, that no fireproofing on the columns was compromised, and the simultaneous failure of all 80+ structural supports would've occured from burning office chairs and cubicles regardless of whether the planes had crashed into the other buildings or not.

Your reading of history should tell you who f--cked that human society is regardless of historical era.
Once you give up the idea that progression toward a better society is inevitable, it becomes less surprising how human evil and deviancy becomes expressed. It is one of the reasons that I found myself years ago returning to religion as a balm. It reminds us that this too will pass, worrying does not extend one's life and health one single day or hour, and that there is only one permanent victory at the end of all things.
The Book of Ecclesiastes was not to my taste when I was younger than 29 but its reminder shows that even when things appear so bright, that someone like Solomon too ends up with moments of despair over human existence.

I enjoyed "Better than Us", a Russian show about 'bots, but really about family. It was entertaining, with a little bit of everything thrown in, but tied up nicely. I got the impression the producers knew the art of creating and presenting a story, which seems to be lacking now in a lot of places (looking at you Amazon and Disney). I assume there will be no more offerings of Russian shows on Netflix until the current unpleasantness away over there subsides.

Sometimes you just lose and suffer.
The test of your immortal soul is if you are faithful during those times, as well as when life is more convenient and bountiful.
A dutiful slave has a better reward than an unjust dictator. This is one of the difficulties of having principles. Often the benefits of principles aren't tangible and immediate and they more often look like punishments. But in the rear-view mirror, you wouldn't exchange the suffering and difficulty for the easy path.
You play out what is set in front of you, scrapping and clawing and fighting. And those in those respites the Lord grants you, you regather strength to enter the fight again, because you know it's coming.

There are plenty of stupid people that have little malice, imo. And some smart malicious people. BUT when talking about BigGov actions, the malice and stupidity go hand in hand. Though in that case, the top dogs maliciously use the stupid people, misleading them with CRT doctrine, for example.
And a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, so we get the Karens on Mount Stupid (Dunning-Kruger effect) that do become malicious as they attack "climate/vax deniers". Smart and benevolent people don't seem to get far in politics, at least not without some aggressively protective attributes.

Dunderheads were the poor alkies who couldn't afford rum so would steal dunder from the dunder pit or trash pit and suck it dry or eat it to go drunk.
This dunder having undistilled poor quality alcohol not to mention other mibrobioita generally fucked up the dunderheads already fucked up brains.
So, a dunderhead originally was not just a drunk but a totally messed up alcoholic idiot.
The origin of dunderhead makes it one of my favorite words.

NYPD is not going to send cops to Florida to arrest trump. That is not going to happen. But you are correct in that trump should fight the extradition. The DA is presupposing that if/when he charges trump he will hop on his plane and fly to NYC to turn himself in and he will get his perp walk moment for cnn/msnbc viewers.
Problem is, I suspect that trump wants that moment as well so he will do it.

You are conflating conservatism which is a fundamentally Liberal (in the old sense or other than US) versus the Right. Traditionally, the Right were supporters of the ancien regime of Church, aristocracy, and monarchy over that of popular rule. The Framers had a whiff of that in their setting up a Republic that limited popular participation so as to avoid the situation.
It is not the person of Washington that I revere, he was a man, no more, no less. But his actions were wise in office despite the fact that at the time, his decisions were often very controversial at the time such as declaring neutrality during the post Revolution fights between Britain and France.

'Bye Ron, nice to know you.'
DeSantis really does a much bigger problem than he thought he did.
He's allowing himself to appear as weak in the face of the growing democrat tyranny. Silence is not an option for him and he had better understand that.
Posted by: Dr. Claw

DeSantis is a very smart politician that plans out his campaigns which makes him a very different politican than the apparently chaotic Trump style which aggravates a lot of people across the political boundary.
He plans out his actions meticulously but that sort of thing is not always possible when events take their course. Sometimes events demand you take an action without preplanning and that you will be judged, fairly or not, by whether you responded properly. That is the reality of the 3am phonecall so famous back in the day.
