Which no one's unraveled today

57 A difficult question: How does the artist painting us pronounce his name? And who let him in here? And what's he doing with our desk?

Posted by: RedMindBlueState at November 14, 2024 09:43 AM (Wnv9h)

58 I would never guess that this was painted after the Civil War. It has the feel of something contemporary to the 1700s. I should look up more of his art (nothing on Wiki) as he obviously has fine talent. The poses are natural for the scene, the use of light and background is excellent, and the details are natural and realistic. The scene doesn't make me want to hang it but his talent is clear. Since he did mostly historical scenes, I suspect a classical image with female nudes would be worth looking at.

“Intimissimi celebrates women and femininity in such an inspiring way,” Ratajkowski said in a statement. “I truly believe in the power of beautiful lingerie to make you feel confident and empowered, and Intimissimi does this beautifully.”

Ms. Ratajkowski's ambassadorship leaves little to the imagination.

196 Hardly anyone wants to say that with the wind at his face and everything else, Trump ran a brilliant campaign.

He went in to win, they illegally switched out the candidate, they tried to arrange a phony "preference cascade" and cheat every way they could dream up, and he beat their pasty sunken asses. Again.

If our side fails to acknowledge the role Trump played in this amazing win, we are destined to be cast aside, sooner than later.

It'll probably be analysis and sending recommendations to the WH for things to cut.

A good amount should be culled with EOs, especially with Loper backing Trump.

Some of it will probably end up as legislation necessary to pass through Congress.

No specifics, just a rundown on things like being acosted on subways, homeless people and poop and drugs everywhere, and high prices.

The closest he got to specifics was saying that Abbott was able to send a lot of migrants because a lot of them had jumped the border, but even that was hand-wavey.

As everyone remembers, last time Trump brought in a bunch of people who were not from government (and a few who were, but were either unmotivated or not very good), and his Cabinet started off very shakily.

This time he's bringing in people with government experience, but not the kind that are friendly to the Deep State, which is the problem he had when he REPLACED his initial Cabinet appointments with supposed pros who knew what they were doing.

Early pre-2028 anti-memeing of Abbott in case he runs for Preezy.

Abbott's got a similar opportunity as DeSantis and has better speech-making prowess.

Why do you think he’s not very bright?


The Gang of Eight and amnesty. Anyone with a couple of synapses to rub together could see that he was being used for cover by the Dems and the GOPe to get amnesty.

Just look at the other members. That should tell you everything you need to know about Dondi.

In the context of proposed immigration reform, the Gang of Eight consists of the following four Democratic and four Republican senators. Of the eight senators that originally composed the group, five remain in office as of 2024. John McCain died in 2018, Jeff Flake's term ended in 2019, and Bob Menendez resigned in 2024.

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
Sen. John McCain, R-AZ
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-NJ
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL

Garland and the deep state tried to manufacture a case that Gatz was involved with underage girls, even trafficking them but they failed to plant any evidence, or possibly they were just too lazy and figured the rumor would be enough to rid them of Gatz since conservatives are so puritanical.

Of course the usual concern trolls on the right are clutching their pearls and saying picking Gatz is another yuuge mistake by DJT.

Not proven. Same with the drugs. Alleged. In some circles these accusations have been refuted, proven false... in others they haven't.

The GOP seems to think it was worth the time, effort and money to keep an investigation running for 3 years and not turning up shit.... just to fuck with someone they dislike.

Now that Gatez has resigned from Congress to pursue the AG position those investigations are closed.

After some other political video i watched, YouTube automatically forwarded me to a Don Lemon podcast thing where he was in California, slumming with other low-level podcasters and YouTubers. He tried to hype up the importance of alternative media, and how Kamala’s reliance on traditional media hurt her, and he's riding the wave of the future.

The GOP Senate used its own former member, Jeff Sessions, to sign off on a years long fake investigation of teh Russia Russia hoax, they then pivoted to impeachment theater involving Ukraine which was also fake fake fake.

Essentially, the GOP Senate used the threat of impeachment and imprisonment to prevent Trump from attacking their traitorous grift and the perverts among them like Lady Lindsay, Lankford, etc. Pence was their insurance policy if they could bring down PDT.

All of those failed as did the more serious Dem attacks in the Biden era, the massive cheat in 2020 where the GOP was complicit, the Jan 6 conspiracy failed with another impeachment, etc.

Now the Senate GOP has exhausted most of its tools and destroyed its own cover. Vance is not an insurance policy and Glitch himself is a decaying shell of a man like Biden. We shall see what they shall do and Thune himself probably doesn't know.

I don't want to make assumptions, but it sounds like you think we should have taken the plan offered by the Gof8. All that would have done would be to allow what happened under Biden to happen 11 years earlier.

The big feature of social media is that it lets randos talk to celebrities. Some celebs genuinely enjoy that because they're cognizant of what it is they do and who's paying for it. But a lot of them believe they're far too important for that and are always looking for ways to get out.

Hope it's wrong, but I'm hearing through the grapevine about this bonkers plan: Trump would adjourn both Houses of Congress under Article II, section 3, and then recess-appoint his Cabinet.

As predicate for Trump's exercise of adjournment power, one House of Congress would seek other House's consent to adjourn and be denied. So Speaker of House would need to be complicit in evisceration of Senate's advice-and-consent role.

Last month, Gaetz beat his Democrat challenger by a two-to-one margin, even though Gaetz did practically zero advertising in the district. There is zero chance a Democrat is going to win the special election.

I suspect DeSantis is going to endorse State Rep. Michelle Salzman. She's been very loyal to DeSantis from day one and I suspect DeSantis will reward her for that loyalty with his endorsement.

She checks many of the correct boxes -- anti-abortion, pro-Israel, pro-veterans, etc., but she's not MAGA to the core, witness her pushing LBGTranny shit in Florida Public Schools.

414 Schumer is pleading for comity? He's scared, then. He never expected PDT to be given the whip hand.

Schumer was the beginning of the Trump persecution and he was also instrumental in resisting the Trump agenda.

Schumer realizes PDT has a mandate to burn down DC, so to speak.

Good.

The makeover of the GOP is too far gone for that.

424 I do not believe that MTG and McCarthy were actually in a relationship - people say that because she turned on a dime on whether McCarthy should remain Speaker.

McCarthy is the one that dumped her from committees because she was controversial.

439 Reading this am on the InfoWars saga. Jones bankruptcy triggered the sale of Infowars name logo, equipment, motor home, studio etc. All told Jones had assets of around five or $6 million. Bankruptcy court had an auction company provide an Anonymous auction and the winner is The Onion. their plan is to shut down anything related to info wars and use the platform to rebrand into A comedy and humor type site. Everytown USA has announced that they will be the exclusive advertisers, focusing on ridding the world of gun manufactures and gun violence. Meanwhile, the Sandy Hook parents and lawyers are now fighting over who’s gonna divvy up the $6 million which is all they’re getting out of their $1.6 billion judgment

440 393 A lot of people are bent about Gaetz deposing Kevin McCarthy.
Posted by: blaster
========
Far too much of the media on the right is tied up in trying to prop up failing institutions and failed politicians because they are there.

The converse to Chesterton's fence is that institutions that we do understand are now destroyed by the left outside and grifters inside do not need propping up by the right.

Newt Gingrich instituted a 6 year term limit on committee chairs (only for the GOP btw as an internal caucus rule) in part to prevent those committee chairs from thwarting his big ideas on reform. That centralized power in the House with the leadership.

The problem came when unprincipled corrupt and criminal leaders like "Coach" became Speaker and later followed by drunkard and disloyal Boehner (part of the coup against Gingrich btw as a backbencher), followed by Paul Ryan who demonstrated he hated the GOP voters and Trump by his actions 2016-2018.

So, Gaetz topping McCarthy (ethics violator with Luntz and prior to that his relationship with Renee Elmers, is a perfect example of the converse of Chesterton's thesis.

Posted by: whig at November 14, 2024 11:05 AM (ctrM5)

441 Gaetz was right about McCarthy, as proven by the fact that McCarthy resigned soon after being deposed as speaker. What a douche-nozzle.

Too many rah rah GOP types do not realize that the party as a whole has an image problem and it is only that the Dems have went batshit crazy that leads people who just desperately want a norman life for them and their kids to vote for the corrupt, venal, and nasty GOPe.

Trump has a constituency because he fights. GOP by and large have no constituency because no hill is worth dying for for them. So you get GOPe types like the Governor of Wyoming trying to protect trannyism there becuz medical industry wants that revenue. And so on.

I was informed that Trump was a poopyhead and his lack of early ads spending ,with a bunch of former GOP strategists saying so on Fox, doomed him to defeat.
