Cuck Newsletter "The Bulwark: "It's Never Been Darker." Democrats Have Never Before Fallen Into Such "Despair."

Your tears are --

well, they're not delicious. They smell like your wife's boyfriend's cum.

But I do like seeing you all cry like bitches.

We've seen your comments: "Bill and Andrew, we're getting a little tired of you writing all this doom and gloom." We've heard you loud and clear--so today we're having Sam Stein do it:

It's Not Panic. It's Terror.
--(ultra leftwing fake "journalist") Sam Stein

...
As for the Democrats, they're spelunking never-before-seen caverns of despair about President Joe Biden's spot atop the ticket. Here's just a sampling from our conversations Wednesday:
"It's never been darker," one top Democratic operative told us.
"People are veeeeeerrrrry uneasy," said a senior administration official.
"It's terrible," said a top Democratic lobbyist with ties to leadership. "I don't think it can be worse."
But it could. Hours later, the White House announced the president had COVID.
Panicking, of course, is part of the Democratic DNA. But this isn't panic. It's terror, worsened by fears that Biden and his team are dug in.
Up till now, the primary approach among Democrats hoping the president will end his bid has been to back-channel to the White House rather than launch a public pressure campaign. "Their best chance to get him out is through private communication," the aforementioned lobbyist said of party leadership.
To that end, prominent pollster Stan Greenberg presented the White House with data showing the party risked a wipeout with the president atop the ticket. But when asked to share that data, he declined. "Private is [the] best course," he said.

They spoke to an administration official, who told them Biden is staying in the race.

...
Some top Democrats have seen their anxiety over the situation morph into incredulity. While others have begun imagining a more nightmarish fate: one in which the White House and both houses of Congress aren't just lost, but lost by such margins as to make the most noxious elements of the Trump agenda unstoppable.
"There is a huge difference between 54 and 51 GOP Senators," said the lobbyist. "At 54, Ric Grenell is getting confirmed as Secretary of State."

Oh no, anything but that.

Here's more: Some Republicans are "scared to death" of the ultimate nightmare: that Ukraine spending might be cut.

While toeing the party line and praising Vance in their public comments, in private the interventionists ranged from horrified to merely alarmed that one of the loudest critics of aiding Ukraine could soon be first in line for the presidency. The grimaces, sighs and whispered frustrations from the old guard as they made their way through the convention reception circuit were easy to find in the day after the selection.
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), who oversees military spending as the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee chair, told one associate, according to a person familiar with the exchange: "The Ukrainians better hurry up and win."
Another influential congressional Republican simply told me about the Vance selection: "I'm scared to death."

If all your claims about fearing "fascism" are really all about a guy you don't like becoming Secretary of State or that aid to Ukraine might be cut -- you have Luxury Concerns, you fat bloated hive of scumbag grifters.

We demanded that he withdraw. We even stamped our little foot. But he refused, can you believe it.

But, no, we decided that being backstabbing bitches, and ineffectual backstabbing bitches at that, was the direction we should go. Also, will we get nap time? -- DNC strategists

91 Trump just wants everyone to love him. Anyone who thinks he'll put action to his tough campaign talk (his OLD campaign talk) is simply wishfully non-thinking. Remember "drain the swamp"? "Lock her up"? He doesn't mean most of what gets him those cheering crowds and doesn't have the instinct or knowledge to get it done. As ace pointed out, "unify" w those who tried to jail, then kill you? 2017 all over with a twist. He truly is the blank canvas. I get no pleasure pointing out what should be painfully obvious to all. He'll reform the agency who carried out the order to let him be killed, stop the DEI madness? He reformed zero agencies under his control '17-'20. Of course he welcomed trannies into his Ms Universe pageant after completely opposite campaign talk. Another 4 years of watching nothing get done, that's what my fear is. Lots of tough Guy "stud" memes tho - we'll have those.

>>Quentin Tarantino is really over-rated.

At the crux of it, he's a Repackager/Fantasy Director, some of his Repackages/fantasies are great, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, some of them are good, Reservoir Dogs, the rest are ehhh, none of them are bad.

On the whole, I'm glad he's only going to make ten films and hopefully he will go away and we never have to hear from him ever again.

If you ever watch it again, marvel at how he gradually manipulates the crowd reactions to change the tone of the speech and launch back into Standard Trump.

It's a masterclass in public speaking but he made it look effortless and like he had nothing to do with it.

Basically there was no natural seeming way to transition from *that* stuff into jokes and riffing. None. But he made it transparent by using the crowd energy and "feeding" off it. All the while, it was the crowd feeding off of him. He's just a one of a kind.

The reason why liberals like Lindsay want to defeat Marxist “wokeness” is that he's afraid of the “far-right” backlash when radical leftism inevitably fails.

And in liberal parlance, “far right” means that any nation which has a preference for their own nation, their own history and culture is seen as a provocation against Lindsay's universal, homogenous, “anti-racist” liberalism.

Atheists like Lindsay do not want religious conservatives in charge. So he's absolutely not going to listen to any intellectual criticisms of liberalism from those he considers the "fascists" on the “far right.”

2. For those saying "how did she not know she was on camera," I'm sure she did. But gestures like stretching your pants, adjusting your crotch, rubbing itches, picking noses, and the like are basically unconscious and automatic.

I've taken and seen many video depositions and even trial witnesses do shit like pick their noses, fart loudly, rub their balls, etc. They obviously know they're on video. But it's unconscious.

For me he's limited, I'm not going back and rewatching, The Hateful 8, Django Unchained, Death Proof, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs or OUATIH.

342 Haven't they lost half their country? Does this guy think they are going to reclaim it? Does winning mean something else? Typically winning a war meant conquering some territory - at a minimum reclaiming territory or reclaiming it on behalf of another country (looking at you France).
Posted by: SH (no more socks) at July 19, 2024 01:52 PM (sX1BW)

I wouldn't say "half" - maybe a quarter. What they've lost is Russian-speaking people who persecuted by this Ukrainian govt, and who voted to be annexed by Russia.

There's another "row" of Ukrainian provinces that would be pretty much the same thing. The rest of Ukraine is the "real Ukraine", with people who actually speak a Ukrainian language.

There's no way Russia gives that back, and Russia doesn't have to worry about a rebellion within the annexed territory because the people there WANT to be part of Russia.

But the war has already been won (by Russia) for a long time. What's going on is a lot of bloodshed so that the globalist cabal can launder US money to itself. They want it to go on indefinitely, and to use it to instigate WWIII.

Think about the timing. If it were the democrats they would wait until a lot closer to election day to make it much more difficult to put in a replacement by the Republicans. But, no, this takes place in July...(which gives a couple of months to install a replacement). The timing suggests a benefit to the Republicans to fill the void with sufficient time to compete in the election with a new candidate. Just saying.

I'm at a video deposition. Usually the video is cropped so that just the witness is visible. But in this case, because it was ugly litigation and the sides hated each other, it was stipulated that the attorneys would also be in the video. That meant the court reporter would also be visible.

You guys know where this is going, right? Court reporter was a 40-ish aging starlet with YUGE fake boobs that she inexplicably had all boosted up and busting out of her low-cut top. Half the deposition is video of the witness obviously staring right at her boobs. (It wasn't my witness.)

I wrote a bit about this yesterday; there are in fact 2 Project 2025's. The first is a wish list for a conservative administration written by the Heritage foundation, containing stuff that we talk about some of the time, but which is really not that different from the 1992 Clinton campaign platform.

The Second Project 2025 is a political hit piece created by Marc Elian (Hillary's hatchet man) which has very little to do with the original Heritage list. It contains things like "Ban all contraceptives" and "Use the military to shoot domestic protesters". Whenever you see it referenced by some Media outlet, THIS is the version they're using, and Marc Elias is the one sending it out to them.

426 I watched 99% of Trump's speech last night. I think he was quite drained, but still stood up there and spoke for 2 hours. No breaks, other than to walk slowly over and hug and kiss the fireman's coat and helmet. I thought he was the most humbled I've ever seen him. He looked tired, talked with less enthusiasm than normal, but did break it out on occasion.

Overall, I think he solidified his chances in the election and proved that everything they've been saying about him for the last 10 years is bullshit.

Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economic

These are the tools we can use. We can use our ability to drive down the price of oil to restrain Russia. (Quick: why was Russia restrained in their funny business when Trump was president? Answer: because under him the United States flooded the world market with oil. Russia was panicking as a result.)

That's all we need to do and should do. We don't need to militarily intervene. But, nor am I going to condone behaviors that led us to intervene in a fight in Europe you would likewise argue was not ours (in the early 1940s).

2. JD Vance wrote a book about the horrific consequences for this on the American working class.
