The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 2/7/24

Good morning, kids. Boy oh boy the shit is hitting the fan today. First, the GOP once again proves its bona fides as the Grifting Oleaginous Parasites.

The House of Representatives let Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas off the hook for the border crisis created under his watch in a historic 216-214 vote against impeachment.
Reps. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Tom McClintock (R-CA) announced before the vote they would vote against impeachment. They were joined by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) in voting with unified Democrats. After the vote was decided, Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) voted nay, but only for procedural reasons so that the House may vote on the measure again at some point. . .
Buck, who announced last year this would be his final term and has openly expressed a desire to work for [MSNSDAP] or [XiNN], and McClintock, who last year told Breitbart News Daily he believes the impeachment is unconstitutional, were seen as immovable. . .
. . . The defeat is the latest for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who inherited a slim majority that has been decimated further by the ejection of Rep. George Santos (R-NY), early retirement of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and, temporarily, the absence of Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), who is recovering from cancer. Johnson may bring the impeachment resolution to the floor again as soon as tomorrow but has not announced his plans.

Meanwhile, as the GOP tries to figure out more ways to try, and mostly fail, to fool us into believing they're a principled opposition party, the Democrats literally wheel in sub-moron Eddie Munster Woof-Woof doppelgänger Al Green, straight from an operating room, barefoot and dressed in a hospital gown to vote "no." Unreal, as in all too real.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not ripping the GOP for not doing the same with Steve Scalise. The point is the Dems will stop at nothing to win, legally if possible, or the other 99.99% of the time, amorally, unethically and criminally. Our side will not. And I don't mean breaking the law or rules to do so but merely fighting as passionately as the scumbag Lefties do, and coming back again and again and again. They don't and won't mostly because they can't. The GOP is controlled by an equally amoral, venal element that cares about one thing: wetting their beak off of, and in service to the Democrat-Leftists' and now corporatists' quest for absolute power via the destruction of the republic.

With that said, while Mike Johnson is turning into a bitter disappointment, what I just stated is likely a huge reason for his failures. In that light, it's kind of a miracle that his controlling of the gavel makes the sham emergency border security bill DOA. About the only positive spin I can put on this is regardless of the propaganda that the GOP and Trump are to blame for the disaster at the border and the refusal to pass this alleged cure for the problem, a very large portion of the public can see right through that.

The case in point is the situation where wet meets back on the Rio Grande, where the potential for shit to get real just got cranked up a few notches. Or has it?

The left has been urging [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden to federalize National Guard troops to reopen Texas's border where illegal immigrants have been overrunning the state. It appears Biden has begun the process of doing that by ordering the Alaska National Guard to get ready to deploy to the border in support of the federal government, not the security of the border.
Texas has been securing the border with layers of concertina wire on top of stacks of shipping containers — a wall, in other words. Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott calls the program "Operation Lone Star." The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in January that the federal government could take down Abbott's razor wire while Texas's rights to prevent an invasion are appealed.
The announcement of the National Guard deployment plan is a brushback pitch by the Biden Administration to Texas and a signal to his leftist base that he heard them.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that the deployment of the troops is scheduled for 2025 — after the election.

[T]he Alaska National Guard on Friday said that a memorandum from the federal government had been issued, directing Alaska forces to prepare two LUH-72 Lakota helicopters and 20 guardsmen to potentially be deployed in early 2025. The units would help provide aviation support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said Alaska National Guard spokesperson Alan Brown. Maj. Ryan Wierzbicki, a spokesman for the U.S. Army’s Joint Task Force North, said in a phone interview that Alaska guard members could be sent to any of four states along the border, including Texas and Arizona.
But the Guard won't go to help Texas stanch the onslaught of humanity; rather, it will do the federal government's bidding. "Brown said there are currently no plans for Alaska National Guard soldiers to be deployed in support of [Abbott's] Operation Lone Star," the Daily News reported.
Abbott claims the new Ukraine funding bill, which claims to be a border bill, removes his and other states' rights to sue the federal government within their own states. The bill requires that all lawsuits against the federal government be heard in the overwhelmingly leftist District of Columbia.

Emphasis mine. The Kalorama Klown Komintern understand that the massive invasion of foreigners they intentionally set in motion is the #1 issue with voters. Whatever bullshit agit-prop is being spewed on the usual State-aligned house organs stands in sharp contrast with the optics that reflect the facts on the ground. That is, Governor Greg Abbott by erecting barriers and deploying his state's law enforcement units to interdict the invasion is actually solving the problem. At least the ground invasion route that runs through Texas.

Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants? After denying for months on end that there was no border crisis and then suddenly, with the election looming, shrieking there is one and it's Trump's and Abbott's fault, we need to pass a bill! 370 pages long. With no time to review it. And some of the leaked pages showing (as Abbott notes above) it actually empowers the invasion to continue unimpeded, pays lip service at best to "security," greases the skids for mass amnesty, and sends the overwhelming lion's share of money to Ukraine, Gaza and Israel.

Remember first and foremost that it's Abbott's shipping all those allegedly mythical illegal alien invaders to blue shit hole sanctuary cities that is arguably one of the most effective political moves in decades insofar as making the Democrats eat their words about their sanctuary policies, on top of their defund the police movement that has made the national crime wave 100 times worse and most crucially pissed off an ever increasing percentage of their once rock hard, reliable base.

Thank you, Governor Abbott. Your action negates the bullshit from the junta. That's why they won't deploy forces now to confront you. Yet while Obama seems to be shitting Joey's Depends by delaying the move until after the election, if Biden or Big Mikey Forearms or Kamala "Jaws (Teeth & Tongue)" come out on top of Trump (as in 2020, the word "win" will not be applicable) you better believe they are indeed going to move on Texas. I would not put it past them to even arrest Abbott, Ken Paxton and perhaps the entire Republican side of the state legislature.

It looks as if rank and file CBP agents, at least anecdotally, are up in arms over this bill and by extension their overlords in DC who so far have failed to ram it through. But what of the National Guardsmen or should it come to it actual US military personnel? I believe there are strong proscriptions against their deployment within our borders against the citizenry. But we are dealing with tyrants who have long since abrogated their oaths and sold their souls to Satan. After everything we've been through these past three years, nothing is going to stand in their way. So my question stands.

Before I get into my analysis, I want to make it clear I believe that anyone who wants a civil war to happen in the U.S. is dangerously naïve, insane, or working for one of America’s enemies. Imagine a Russia-Ukraine-type conflict in the U.S.
Thanks to Hollywood, most Americans believe that rebellions can be started and won by small ragtag groups of patriots, freedom fighters, insurrectionists, or everyday common folk. All you need are pistols, assault weapons, bows and arrows, and maybe a few Molotov cocktails. Blow up the Death Star, and the problem is solved.
But that is not how it usually works. Revolutions require armaments, soldiers, money, something worth fighting for, and popular support. Unless lives are at stake, few people are angry or committed enough to leave jobs or families to risk going to jail or dying needlessly. . .

The author cites a number of examples of rebellions and the Revolution and Civil War itself. Continuing . . .

. . . You might notice a pattern here. First, important issues divide our country, like independence versus obedience to the king or slavery versus freedom. Then, either a military skirmish occurs before sides get chosen or sides get chosen before the military gets involved. Both the Revolution and the Civil War were started by state military organizations, not by groups of armed radicals.
We are at a similar junction in history right now. Politics has divided the country, and the pivotal issue is unlimited illegal immigration. Few wanted it. No one expected it when he voted for Biden. And now almost no one is willing to pay the price socially or financially to support it.
The White House may have believed that its open border policy would get someone, anyone, to pick up a gun to stop the madness. It would give Biden an excuse to impose martial law, ban assault weapons or handguns, or both. But the horde of right-wing extremists the far-left fantasizes about does not exist.
It seems the [junta[ may have gone too far too fast. The whole country is aware of this issue, and opposition is rising, leading the states to get directly involved.
The Texas National Guard has been sent to the border to stop the flow of migrants. Roughly half of the states have declared their support for Texas. If Democrats want to continue unlimited illegal immigration, Biden could nationalize the Texas National Guard, take control, and send it home.
But what happens if Texas says no? Would Biden order the armed forces to disarm or attack the Texas Guard? Would the use of the armed forces be legal? Do Democrats care?

No. They don't. They are banking on both the power of the media and technology to control narratives and keep people silent and obedient, if not happy. They think it can trump (heh) the fact that the majority of the citizenry are armed to the teeth, gambling that we'd never use it. What it would take are an economic crash and civil unrest that directly touches their lives – and with the economy on the brink and 8 million invaders in our midst, on top of the 40 million already here, plus an anarcho-terroristic crime wave going strong it's going to do just that. But, it will take a public figure or figures for the citizenry to rally around when indeed all bets are well and truly off.

We're not there yet. God help us if we ever do get to that point but I fear there's no way to stop it, especially if 2024 goes the way of 2020. And with that in mind, here's a little story that caught my eye this morning. See if you can see what this portends vis a vis the current situation at the border:

Squatters are ruining entire neighborhoods in Atlanta and police response to evict is so slow, some homeowners have resorted to paying nuisances to leave.
Brazen squatters even opened an illegal strip club on a property they had taken over — one of the 1,200 homes which has been squatted in the city according to the National Rental Home Council (NRHC) trade group. “I’d be terrified in Atlanta to lease out one of my properties,” Matt Urbanski, who manages a local home-cleaning company, told Bloomberg. Urbanski’s company cleans out homes for corporate landlords, and in some cases has to remove squatter’s posessions. Recently one of his employees was shot after attempting to remove intruders from a property.
Simon Frost, CEO of large-scale landlord Tiber Capital Group, said there have been incidents of unlawful occupants brandishing weapons and threatening neighbors which affects the safety of neighborhoods and other residents, according to Bloomberg. Evicting squatters in Atlanta is tough, involving negotiating court backlogs and strained police resources. Meanwhile, online listings and virtual real estate agents make it easy for squatters to identify vacant properties to break into.
In October, an Atlanta neighborhood found itself at the center of a scandal involving squatters who transformed a home into an illegal strip club, complete with weekend parties and even live horses on the property.
The drama unfolded at in the South Fulton area when, where four individuals — DeAnthony Maddox, Jeremy Wheat, Kelvin Hall, and Tarahsjay Forde — took up residence without permission. Little did the neighbors know, the 4,000 square foot, five-bedroom home with three bathrooms would become a den of illicit activity. The squatters ran the clandestine strip club, held noisy parties and even organized car races in the street, ruining the neighborhood for others, according to local reports.
“They would get live horses. One day they had live horses,” one neighbor told Atlanta station WSB-TV TV2. Eventually a SWAT team had to clear out the house and recovered two stolen cars, a stolen weapon and stolen credit cards from the property, according to the local report.
One neighbor told The Post they are afraid to even go on vacation because if squatters find out the home is vacant they just move right in. “Is this even America anymore? We are homeowners and we can’t even do anything about trespassers?” The neighbor said in frustration.

Atlanta. Georgia. Reminds me of Fani "Gotta-Be-Da-Butt-Bob" Willis. She's otherwise engaged and is also a squatter. Mostly squatting on Darius Wade's penosterous between trying to railroad Donald Trump. Too busy to fight actual crime. Meh, this kind of activity is allowed because of the decriminalization of crime in the name of "social justice."

This garbage with individuals of a melanin content not to be discussed is horrible enough. But that's not what sparked my Spidey-sense to start tingling. Recall a number of blue shit hole governors and mayors offering to pay people to house illegal alien migrant invaders which resulted in a less than enthusiastic response from the citizenry. Bupkis. Less than bupkis. It was bupkis-lite. It was less than the lint bupkis has in its pockets.

So when a sleazy criminal tyrant like for instance Maura "Heal Thyself" Healy doesn't have volunteers, she'll just pick some.

You think the Dems won't just declare some sort of emergency and seize unoccupied homes to "temporarily" house illegal aliens?

Quartering of soldiers? Pfft! The Supreme Court is going to rule on whether unrealized income can be taxed.

What all of this boils down to is this:

Joe Biden, his handlers and anyone who aids and abets the erasure of our border, is a state-sponsor of terrorism and engaging in treason.

Based on what his intentional erasing of our border and of all sane immigration controls has wrought on this nation and its citizenry, I defy anyone to tell me I'm wrong.

Or could it?

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

That's the opposite of how it should be. *No* case not involving an exclusively local crime (e.g., robbery, murder, etc.) should ever be tried in DC.

36 I noted when the overturned RvW that it would really hurt the GOP. And not because it would somehow make young women more rabidly Leftist than they are, which is silly. They're already all Maoists who live on the Left Pole.

I argue that it hurts them with their own base, because it suddenly and unexpectedly stripped away that fake Party's cheapest, easiest and (most importantly) risk-free virtue signal and fundraising mechanism.

I was, for a long time, in Ken Buck's district. He's one of the(R)enfields it hurts most. He was always a corporate fascist stooge and cuck whose only "conservative" bona fides were warmongering and pro-life positions. Warmongering went out of style, and that Court decision took away the last thing that differentiated him from the center-left end of the Dem spectrum.

Makes sense. If the Administration is going to send armed forces to Texas to break the nullification crisis, it is going to involve federal soldiers either arresting or killing Texas soldiers (unless the Texas soldiers choose to surrender and let the federal soldiers do their thing without opposition) while opening the border for and escorting an invasion force into the United States.

This would be, as they say, "bad optics" during an election year.

++++
True, and it's one about which I have to eat some crow. I didn't think it would matter at all, because the numbers involved are so small.

The numbers *are* small, and it shouldn't have mattered. It did matter because the overall numbers are so large - albeit most of them aren't cross-shipped from Texas and Florida, but sent by NGOs - and because it gave the blue governors and mayors a ready-made excuse to talk about the catastrophes they're dealing with.

Those catastrophes are not Abbott's (or DeSantis') fault. Their scheme is a rounding error on the total influx hitting the blue cities. But it lets the rulers of those cities blame an external force, which lets them talk about the disastrous problems all this unchecked migratory flow is causing. Abbott is the lunch lady. He gave the blue rulers a hate object to use for cover as they start to acknowledge the disaster.

Maybe. Slow-motion and long-term violence at the various interfaces - the Ireland model - is also possible.

But this is why I prefer a nullification crisis if possible. That could well end in way, but it needn't. It's the only way out I see that doesn't involve "generational war" or "slave state of total tyranny" as the binary outcomes.

73 Simon Frost, CEO of large-scale landlord Tiber Capital Group, said there have been incidents of unlawful occupants brandishing weapons and threatening neighbors which affects the safety of neighborhoods and other residents, according to Bloomberg. Evicting squatters in Atlanta is tough, involving negotiating court backlogs and strained police resources. Meanwhile, online listings and virtual real estate agents make it easy for squatters to identify vacant properties to break into.

Seems if they're brandishing weapons, seems an overwhelming response by the neighbors would be required. Shootout at the Atlanta Corral.

80 That is, Governor Greg Abbott by erecting barriers and deploying his state's law enforcement units to interdict the invasion is actually solving the problem.

This doesn't actually solve the problem. If you think of the Texas border as the sidelines of a football field, Abbott has closed about a 1 inch section.

His actions have an outsized impact only because the feds chose to not ignore them.

The factional struggle within the Outer Party is real. Some would call it a "GOP civil war" or some such, but I think that's a bit hyperbolic.

Whether the deplorable faction wins and *then* can move the GOP from being the Outer Party to being a real opposition party is anyone's guess. I doubt either because I think the entire GOP is, on balance, so corrupt and so monstrous that it cannot be saved. At some point, no amount of treatment can save a sick and decayed body. I think the GOP is in that position, and will ultimately be replaced (or will die along with the Uniparty overall, when the system collapses or is vanquished by a conqueror). Time will tell, of course.

134 "With that said, while Mike Johnson is turning into a bitter disappointment"

I disagree that he's been a "bitter disappointment", or more accurately I would say that anyone who thought there was any possibility of things being different was believing in a fantasy. Johnson has *never* had a voting majority in the House; we know that there have always been 20 - 30 McCarthy loyalists, liberal democrats who have made a career out of fooling their constituents into thinking they are some kind of conservative. Until all of these backstabbers are purged from the party, there will never be any chance of the House (or the Senate, for that matter) ever doing anything significant, for they will jump up and kill whatever they can whenever they are called upon to do so.

BTW…. Shouldn’t “none of the above” always be an option in every election? If “none of the above” wins then we get a re-do where any candidates previously on the ballot can’t run.

Maybe another standard option on ballots should be “first name chosen at random out of local phone book” (William F Buckley style)

And one vote is all that's needed. What no one imagined was that the dems would wheel Green in, literally in his hospital gown and non-skid hospital socks, to cast the deciding down vote.

In any event, the situation will be rectified when Scalise returns.

146 So, hypothetically, what happens if you live in one of these places with insane adverse possession laws and then go on vacation and the worst happens?

So you go on vacation and a squatter moves in but you can't dislodge him and the cops don't help you because your jurisdiction is pro-crime. You have no place to live anymore and have no rights, but still have liabilities.

What happens to the mortgage and insurance? If you stop paying, does the lender still come after you, even though you no longer have possession? Does the local government put a lien on whatever shit you still own to satisfy the back taxes? Do you end up going bankrupt? If you do, what happens when the bank wants an eviction so they can sell your house - destroyed as it likely is - to recoup some of their losses?

I suspect you would remain on the hook for everything and along with losing your house, you'll lose your credit and a fair amount of other property in the mortgage and tax litigation.

If this keeps up, it is probably going to change contract conditions - and raise rates fairly dramatically - in the places that have these rules.

167 The greatest inhibitor Johnson in his attempt to run the house is his own honesty and refusal to play the grift machine. The Speakership by itself is a very weak position; strictly speaking, he's just the guy who gets to sit at the front when they vote. So how come McCarthy and Pelosi before him were powerful? What makes Schumer and McConnel so powerful in the Senate? Money. Tens of millions of dollars of dark money from corporations, from the oligarchs, from the NGO's, from anyone who wants to buy a vote - Schumer and McConnell and McCarthy and Pelosi had/have all been at the heart of this system for decades, and their power comes from their ability to direct millions of dollars of dark money to anyone who supports them, and deny it to anyone who doesnt. That's how they run things; that's how McCarthy became Speaker in the first place; That's how Washington "works".
An honest man who is NOT corrupt and who keeps himself free from the massive amounts of cash flowing there will *never* have the ability of amassing any personal power the way those who embrace it do. In Washington, the "dark side" wins hands down, every time.

Something akin to that would be fine. I'd like to see a carve-out for periods of properly declared war (wars must be fought, and will incur debts), and I'd prefer to have it be based on a reduction from the prior year's receipts (say, 2%) to prevent continued debt buildup due to regular variance.

But there are many things that could be done, and all would be better than nothing. None of it will happen. We're in the "loot this bitch blind while we still can" phase.

Yes, it was by far. (because Mayorkas is good symbolism but everyone knows that the Senate will never even hold hearings on it) If McCarthy had still been speaker, he would have been rounding up his 30 loyalists and the entire Dem caucus, and this border bill would have been passed by the end of the week.

The only thing we could ever have reasonably expected out of the House this session was for them to block any of the most outrageous things the Biden admin was trying to do. They have never had the votes or the power to do anything more than that, and honestly even doing that much has been a fight.

No, it's racist.

The first problem with that song is that the relationship is between a white man and Black woman. While interracial relationships in the opposite direction can depending on circumstances be acceptable due to anti-colonial effects, the same cannot be said of those in the direction described in the song. It is a perpetuation of white colonial proclivities. Rather than colonizing a Black culture, it is colonizing a Black body, but it is still colonial and therefore unacceptable.

Beyond that, the song isn't even exactly about a relationship and its more about sex. This is fine and sexual liberation was a cornerstone of social progress, but it does mean that it represents the cancer of exoticism. Mick Jagger got with a Black woman, and he found it exciting and different and exotic. No relationship or sexual encounter based on the fetishization of a minority's race is acceptable.

That song is not some symbol of racial harmony, it is the tale of one white man's fetishistic and colonial behavior.

Don't forget the dark blue university towns. Smother places like Ann Arbor and Madison with wetback criminal Argentinians, too. Maybe they can move into the sorority houses.

206 Some of the issues with squatters goes beyond them simply refusing to leave a house. If you own acreage and livestock the potential damage/loss could be substantial. To you, the owner, but also the community.

See, squatters will sometimes setup shop on land with a couple tents and whatnot. But they typically are unstable, perhaps criminals and will do what they do; destroy property, kill animals, interfere with your business, etc.

So Kentucky is looking at the circumstances under which you as a property owner would potentially be justified in using deadly force on them.

You own a farm with multi-million dollar race-horses grazing about and some group of homeless criminal illegals sets up shop on your pasture... yeah, you'll be a bit aggravated about all that. This is who HB5 in KY is for.

He sucks and if you looked into his background further you would realize that. It takes a lot to run the RNC, not just winning a particular state. Trump liked McDaniel because she helped him win Michigan. But she had zero skills necessary to run a national organization including fundraising, organization and legal strategies. She was in way over her head and Whatley will be worse. The RNC needs significant change that someone like Harmeet would have brung. There are even better candidates than her, but once again we're going to bend to the losing formula because Trump likes a "stop the steal" guy. It's a recipe for losing.

B. Have a relative in a town near Boston and the town leaders are pushing a plan to *double* the number of residences in the town. Double. Being so close to Boston, you can imagine how developed the town already is - this is not a place of sprawling homes on 2 acre lots and cutesie farms, it's built up, tightly set homes, a lot of them the MA-style old "3 family homes" (3 stories/residences that multi-generational immigrant families occupied), and apartment bldgs.

8/7/20, Sen. Tom Udall & Rep. Jim McGovern's article entitled, "Trump and Barr used a loophole to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities. It's time to close it." A path has been laid for future presidents to make the National Guard their own personal security force. Unless we act, we are inviting future abuses.

In part, "President Donald Trump recently took the drastic step of sending thousands of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. They were not sent to repel a foreign attack on the nation's capital but to mobilize against American citizens peacefully protesting the senseless killing of George Floyd. The Trump administration then deployed scores of unidentified federal law enforcement officers, many of them from the Department of Homeland Security, to Portland, Oregon, resulting in increased mayhem and injuries to nonviolent protestors.

The president is treating our military and federal law enforcement like his own personal security forces. And he's doing this not to protect public safety but to stage photo-ops and prop up his floundering campaign. This moves resembles what we might expect to see from authoritarians abroad rather than a president of the U.S."

I get that you don't like him but that's not a real deep analysis of his performance which has been pretty good.

He's been working in Republican politics for 40 years. He is as qualified to run the RNC as anyone, the only question is where do his loyalties lie, establishment or America First. He did work on the Trump transition team in 2016 so Trump knows him from that.

In any case the RNC is not run by Trump. He didn't appoint Romney, she was elected by the state RNC delegates and so will her replacement. If you look into how the RNC is run further you would realize that.

Trump has had a mostly testy relationship with the RNC because they have been an establishment run organization. Someone who agrees on the issue of election integrity which Ronna did not and wants to support America First is a huge improvement whether Whatley or some outsider.

As I understand it, the NV legislature - or maybe just the governor - said "thou shalt have primaries" and the state party said "blow me". All delegates are awarded at the caucus and you could only choose to be a choice in one. Haley chose the primary because:

1. She's a uniparty asshole.

3. She expected to be able to tell the LIVs that she won the NV primary.

Not just yet, but soon. It will be an urban phenomenon first, then it will spread to - and actually be more effective in - rural areas once the farm murders and robberies start.

Private mercenaries guarding cash-in-transit and valuable goods transport. Private mercenaries guarding valuable businesses. Private mercenaries in networks doing emergency response in urban areas. Private mercenaries in networks doing area defense for wealthy farmers.

The model for this is South Africa. They still have cops, but the private cops do increasing amounts of direct response and heavy lifting, paid for by men with something to lose.

News Outlets reporting Special Counsel will not bring charges on Biden classified docs case!!! It's about fucking time...they let Trump's WH accomplice off so long ago few can remember he had a SC investigation.

Not a surprise. It was clear what he did was different than Trump.
1) He didn't intentionally hide 'em and then lie about having 'em.
2) He actually proactively approached the National Archives about the records when they were found.

But Trump is going to flip out - you just know it.

Special Counsel Robert Hu is a Trump appointed former prosecutor...life is good! Been a pretty lousy day for Republicans. Good day for sanity, tho.

Freepers will have splody heads tonight. Good! It's ridiculous that this was pursued so long. No harm, no foul!

McClintock knows what an irrascable traitorous beast Mayorkas is. Yet he won't allow his impeachment which he knows won't remove him but at least force Democrats to get in high dungeon to defend him.

It looks to me that McClintock doesn't want to be bothered. So it's not a principled problem, it's a lazy problem from a Congresscritter with a safe seat.im surprised there weren't any others with him as a bloc.

So it stands to reason that you have to have someone who has a lot of experience in that world, and that means that by definition, you are going to have to find someone corrupt and hope that you can make it in their interest to work their corruption in your favor.

We were discussing something similar in Sunday school recently and a good point was made regarding law enforcement overlooking small, recurring, and fully accepting routine bribes after 9/11.

Free meals. Lots of restaurants do it, and if you ask any cop they'll be able to name every restaurant that does. And those places will have 1-6 cop cars there, or soon to be there, all day every day, from open until close.

Free security paid for by taxpayers, and it costs the business the same as a worker getting an order wrong and needing to re-make a meal. Less, actually, because it only involves the single meal and not both the screw up and the re-make.

And same as always, it starts when the little stuff is overlooked and then soon becomes normal.

I think this leaves the same enormous whole we've had for years. The RNC is supposed to do other things like organize debates which means not picking CNN and MSNBC moderators and monitor elections.

352 I disagree. I think the only circumstance where Biden is not the Dem nominee is if he dies. Even with full on dementia he’s too stubborn to be budged. He’s staying in no matter what…. Oh and BTW he’ll have all the delegates at the DNC. No other dem is on primary ballots (Phillips and Williamson are not serious)
Posted by: LinusVanPelt

I agree with this. If Biden were going to drop out, there would have been much better times to do it. He's an egotistical asshole...no way he'd voluntarily step down from the most powerful position on earth. And the Dems won't force him out, because that would hurt whoever ran in his place.

Except...if he dropped out right before the Dem convention, it would allow a fig-leaf of cover for a "Democratic" selection process, and still allow time for the nominee to be on all state ballots legitimately. It's the last of the "good" timing benchmarks for him to step down. It's crazy, but not a 0% chance.

Pretty sure JJ linked to a story last week where a NY state guy received a huge utility bill while on a 3 week trip, contacted the utility company to shut it off and was told "no" because there were squatters and it is illegal to do so.

So, no, you can't cut off utilities to get them out, at least not in NY state, probably others (paying tenant protection laws, no doubt).

Remember when Obama took some criticism for sitting down with Ahmadinejad for negotiations? His defense was that he'd sit down and talk with anyone and rejecting negotiation is a bad strategy.

And he was, in fact, right about that. The problem with that meetup wasn't that the American President met with the Iranian President, but that Obama was eager to give the store away and everyone knew it. But that is beside the point. Obama was in fact correct in the basic assertion: if there is an opportunity to talk rather than fight, you should take it and see if you can make an acceptable deal. Trump had one of these, too, when he met with Kim. Same noise, same rationale, same correct answer.

With Carlson, it's the same argument in fact. Whether meeting with an enemy of the US is treason depends entirely on who is in office and which faction controls the narrative in the moment. Nothing more. This is, like everything else, a fake standard. The stakes with Carlson are extremely low because he is not a government official at all, authorized or not.
