The Hill: RINO Senators Fear "Radical Conservative Populism"
Breaking news, liberals hate and fear conservatives.
So we should just trust them, to make it easier for you to control us? Any chance you'll force them to reform, so that they'll be worthy of trust? Or is the onus on us just to force ourselves to forget their crimes? It's on us, right?
Republican senators say they're worried that conservative populism, though always a part of the GOP, is beginning to take over the party, becoming more radical and threatening to cause them significant political problems heading into the 2024 election. GOP senators are saying they're being increasingly confronted by constituents who buy into discredited conspiracy theories such as the claim that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election or that federal agents incited the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Growing distrust with government institutions, from the FBI, CIA and Department of Justice to the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health, make it more difficult for Republican lawmakers to govern.
I wonder why they got to attack conservatives.
Republican senators believe their party has a good chance to take back control of the White House and Senate, given President Biden's low approval ratings and the favorable map of Senate seats up for reelection, but they regularly face political headaches caused by populist members of their party who say the rest of the GOP is out of step with mainstream America.
Mitch's Bitch Lisa Murkowski. Of course.
"We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I'm having more 'rational Republicans' coming up to me and saying, 'I just don't know how long I can stay in this party,'" said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). "Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.
I wonder who these cowards are, who refuse to sign their names to their attacks on conservatives. Allow me to take a guess: Cuck liberal Senator Tom Tillis, recently censured by his own North Carolina Republican Party for taking leftwing positions.
"You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, 'Why am I [in the party?]" she added. "I think it's going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates. "Is it going to be a situation of who can be more outlandish than the other?" she asked. Some Senate Republicans worry the populist winds are downgrading their chances of picking up seats in 2024. "There are an astonishing number of people in my state who believe the election was stolen," said one Republican senator who requested anonymity to talk about the growing popularity of conservative conspiracy theories at home. ... A second Republican senator who spoke with The Hill said the growing strength of radical populism "makes it a lot more difficult to govern, it makes it difficult to talk to constituents." "There are people who surprise me -- I'm surprised they have those views. It's amazing to me the number of people, the kind of people who think the election was stolen," the lawmaker said. "I don't want to use this word but it's not just a 'red-neck' thing. It's people in business, the president of a bank, a doctor." The lawmaker, who requested anonymity to discuss the political challenge posted by surging conservative populism, accused some fellow Republicans of trying to exploit voter discontent to gain local or national prominence. "In my state there are a lot of folks who see Washington as disconnected, they see their way of life threatened. There's something that generates discontent that elected officials take advantage of," the senator said.
Conservative delegates to the annual North Carolina Republican Party convention voted Saturday to censure the state's senior U.S. senator, a member of their own party, for votes that delegates said went against the party's views on key issues. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican who has served in Congress since 2015, has attempted in recent years to work on bipartisan deals in Congress on hot-button issues -- particularly guns, immigration and gay marriage -- which have left some conservatives feeling dissatisfied with his record. The official resolution against Tillis is vague, saying he is being censured for "blatant violations of our party platform." A Tillis spokesman said Saturday after the vote that the senator "keeps his promises and delivers results," and former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory also jumped to Tillis' defense, tweeting that he hoped all the state's elected officials would stand behind the senator. But that wasn't happening Saturday at the convention. State Rep. Mark Brody, R-Union, supports the censure. He told WRAL that the dissatisfaction started building several years ago, when Tillis initially opposed then-President Donald Trump's plan to shift millions of dollars from military construction projects toward building a wall along the Mexican border. Tillis eventually changed his position and supported Trump's plan, but conservatives never forgot his initial stance.The Hill ends with this 100% true statement from Josh Hawley:
Democratic group mostly right about Tillis vote to redirect military money The final straw for the GOP base, Brody said, was Tillis' work on the Respect For Marriage Act last year, which codified legal protections for same-sex marriage--something the GOP officially opposes in its national and state party platforms, Brody said.
"The great divide of our time is not between Trump supporters and Trump opponents, or between suburban voters and rural ones, or between Red America and Blue America," he said. "No, the great divide of our time is between the political agenda of the leadership elite and the great and broad middle of our society. And to answer the discontent of our time, we must end that divide."Oh no, will attacks on the failed, incompetent leadership class make it more difficult for them to control us?!

Look at the Tucker Interview lineup.
Not a one of them said the election was stolen, or that 1/6 was a fed op.
A couple danced around it with carefully prepared "explanations" for why people are angry (Vivek Ramamswamy) but none would say the obvious. It was stolen with harvest illegal votes using the control of the registration system and illegal changes in procedure.

On the contrary, I think he cares very deeply about the state of the Republic. He just has no respect for those he's grilling because they simply don't deserve it.
Whether or not he's able to maintain that attitude over time in the face of the cynicism of your typical congress-critter remains to be seen.

Has the GOP considered holding hearings on the dangers of populist Republicans?
Have they considered a sternly worded, yet heartfelt, letter to populist Republicans?
Have they considered informally censuring populist Republicans?
These measures have proven highly successful in combatting the Democrat agenda. Perhaps they could be used internally in the party.

Well a republic is actually structured to resist waves of popularity and fads, so a republic structure itself is set up to resist popular waves.
However, a republic is also majoritarian as well, with the idea that there is "wisdom among the masses", especially if as Madison advocated we continued to have the dynamic of varied interests in the works.
This is what caused-based politics has corrupted. You can't be "selfish" and think only of your interests(!!), you have to enlist in the cause!
The irony is that a cause, which asks people to capitulate, to is anti-populist although it may get a large number of people under its thrall.
Enlightened self-interest was to be the model, but the political waves that energized the public have succeed by being ideological or cause-based.

What a piece of shit
Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,” the Florida governor noted.
Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted and promised if he was elected, he would do a more reach-across-the-decorum, saying “I think that we want to be in a situation where you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

In-N-Out Burger has informed employees in five states that they will no longer be allowed to wear medical masks unless they have a note from their doctor, according to a company memo leaked on Twitter earlier this month.
“We are introducing new mask guidelines that emphasizes the importance of customer service and the ability to show our Associates’ smiles and other facial features while considering the health and well-being of all individuals”
The new rule goes into effect on August 14, according to the memo, and is aimed at workers in Texas, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and Utah. Workers in California and Oregon who would like to protect themselves from COVID-19 and other illnesses by wearing a medical mask will still be allowed to

The traditional formula was Buckley's: vote for the most electable, right-most Republican. These days, I'm fine with making it a binary choice: Either a conservative Republican, or stay home.
The RINOs started this by breaking WFB's rule first, and asking us to shut up and vote for the RINO anyway. I'm pretty much done doing that.

Did you ask if she was single? I met a girl once at my apartment complex pool. She was new in town and we had a lot of common interests. She mentioned liking craft beer and I suggested we go there for a drink. She says sure and away we go. Whole drive over I'm thinking how interesting the day turned out to have been and what it could lead to. About an hour into beers, she tells me about her boyfriend.
Check, please. We ended up being good friends but I did scold her quite a bit.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma is as if you buried your nose in a green smoothie filled with fresh-cut cabbage, romaine lettuce, kiwi, pear, aloe vera while preparing a beurre noisette (brown butter). These aromas follow on the palate where you’ll also find ripe heirloom carrots, Kaffir limes and roasted pear. This is a classic, flavorful tequila--one that is far from the vodka-like tequilas that are on the market."

I don't think so.
When somebody says "You can't define X", they usually mean that they are going to nitpick your perception as "not being the true" statement about X. Or that they are simply going to ignore every characterization.
Now, think about that. Marxists are very bad at defining "capitalism" from the experience of free markets, however, if there was something in their criticism of whatever system they are under, wouldn't it be trivial to point out that they can't even define it (in a way we accept)?
People who don't know what comprises totalitarianism may still be victims of totalitarianism. Is it that important in making a claim against a system that it gets the definition correct in the eyes of some stickler?

Term limits just shifts more power to the parties.
Term limits are bad. They toss out the good with the bad. The problem is too much power in gov. The solution is not to hand that power to the parties.

They just rejigger the districts and run for District 18 instead of District 15, which is now moved 300 miles away. Or they do like the LA city council or board of supes did in the early 2000s, they'd run out their terms and then do musical chairs running for another district by renting a shitty little apartment in the new district. But they all actually live in Brentwood or Santa Monica.

Those same 'senators' - 12 of them - voted to INFRINGE on YOU 2A rights last summer - and when Cornyn was chastised at a 'town hall' he left and said "I don't answer to the Mob."
