THE MORNING RANT: Trump-Bashing Felon John Bolton is Scheduled for a Fireside Chat Today with National Review to Discuss Character and Leadership
• Forfeiture of his government pension.
• Fine of $2.25 million. The National Review Institute is hosting an “American Leadership & National Security” seminar in Newport Beach today. Jim Geraghty, Noah Rothman, and other Trump-hating “conservatives” are scheduled to join Mr. Bolton in discussing character and leadership. Below the fold is the actual invitation from National Review inviting people to hear Mr. Bolton discuss the character he brings to the battle. National Review praises the felon for his “distinguished public service” and for his “principled leadership.” For some inexplicable reason, National Review and its writers are still held in esteem by many actual conservatives. This is despite National Review’s false-flag effort to elect Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris over the past three presidential elections (for the alleged purpose of “saving conservatism.”
NR’s writers also sneer at Trump’s character, yet they embrace a felon such as John Bolton because he is willing to commit national security crimes to take down President Trump. There is little difference at this point between Tucker Carlson and National Review. Both are wearing the skinsuit of their former conservative identities while trying to help the left derail the conservative agenda at a time when conservatives have the electoral upper hand in Congress and the White House.
National Review announced it is hosting soon-to-be convicted felon John Bolton in a “virtual fireside chat” at its next major fundraiser.

John Bolton has just pleaded guilty to illegally retaining and sharing classified national security documents. This is a felony offense.
So, has he now lost his right to bear arms?

Ok I might have figured out why NR still has any subscribers, in their data they note "82% of its audience being 55 or older."
So perhaps most of those remaining 75k are:
Dead people will a credit card still on file/pre-paid future years
People with dementia that think this is the NR of 30 years ago

I will note that it was probably standard practice that bureaucrats and former politicians took "classified" information with them after they left office because everything it overclassified to avoid scrutiny.
And generally, they got a slap on the wrist.
Until they decided to get Trump "by any means necessary".
They changed the understood rules. That's fine. but now they ALL need to be arrested and imprisoned.

Data Republican details how John Bolton was a key player in manufacturing the WMD causus belli against Iraq.
Seems Iraq was going to agree the WMD inspectors. And that body was going to accept.
Bolton told the Chair, you keep talking to Iraq and we'll have you fired.
A few weeks later, that org voted for the first time ever to oust the chair.
And Colin Powell was free to lie that Iraq had WMD.
Because John and his cabal love forever wars, almost as much as they loves preemptive wars.
And letting Iraq confirm they had no WMD meant he wouldn't get his war.
And his Armchair Generals in the Pentagon wouldn't get promotions.
A nasty fucking mess where they ground up thousands of our young and wasted over a trillion of our money for ... nothing.
John doesn't deserve a felony--he deserves a crow's nest at the crossroads.

The character and leadership of publishing a column by a trans "conservative" who lectured that supporting trans is really a GOP value?
I could go on, but not with more recent stuff because they lost me with hot garbage like I mentioned above.

That meets with an interesting pattern because remember in 1999 the left got Newt and Livingstone out as Speaker of the House and Hastert in and if you read through lefty forums you'll find they new he was a pedo at the time - which makes sense the same operation that found Newt and Livingstone where having affairs found that Hastert was a pedo...

The National Review Institute is hosting an “American Leadership & National Security” seminar in Newport Beach today. Jim Geraghty, Noah Rothman, and other Trump-hating “conservatives” are scheduled to join Mr. Bolton in discussing character and leadership.
"Character" and "Leadership."
LOL, OK, sure, because you guys know so much about both of those concepts.

I'd be willing to concede that Trump has certainly failed some tests about his character.
Several marriages, possible affairs, locker-room talk- all that indicates a defect in his character.
But, we don't have someone with better character we can turn to. Like Grant, he's rough around the edges, but he's the only one (so far) who's proven to take at least some of the steps necessary to save this country.
He fights. He fights the actual enemies of our nation. That's the single most important character test for our time.
All of the "alternatives" are "nice" but don't have good character. Pence is a coward. He may have good character in other areas, but he does not have any courage.
ALL our "leaders" are flawed people. We have to pick the best one, and that is Trump

The character and leadership NRO displayed in abandoning Mark Steyn and firing John Derbyshire?
Derb I kinda get. He'd been skating that edge for awhile.
Weissberg is the one I find difficult to forgive. He went to the American Renaissance conference to tell them to their face they were wrong. But he went to the conference and that was bad enough for the fiercely heterosexual uebercon Lowry.
Reminds me of how "ghost of kari" told us he'd gone on a NR cruise and got propositioned by one of the (male) writers.

Overlooked, but nonetheless worth remembering is the number of people who supposedly were vetted by Trump's staff during Trump I and turned out to be shit.
If not downright enemies.
That problem, to a lesser extent still plagues his administration. I'd like to know who's responsible for some of the cabinet/staff picks who either bailed early or turned out to be worthless shits. Because that particular person or persons needs to be put in a box.

I never understood the "True Conservative" position that if a Republican has a moral failing, the obvious answer is to to elect the Democrat.
In what possible interest would it serve if you care about public policy to have had Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris as President (who have even deeper moral failings imo).
Most of Trump's term is just cleaning up Joe Biden's mess. But Trump said "pussy" and they will never get over it.

Because Bolton is a Made Man in their world, and Trump is not. Bolton graduated from Yale.
Bolton is 77. He will be 78 in November. I doubt he will get any prison time. Not even six months in a Club Fed minimum security prison.

And I'm further enraged at how casually they threw away our lives and our treasure for ... nothing.
Nothing was made better in the whole region for us going there.
Reagan was right:
We should have set Iraq and Iran against each other until the last mullah was throwing rocks at the last surviving Saddam relative.
And if Istanbul and Riyadh were gassed along the way? Good.
A billion dead muslims is just a statistic.

Saddam, Iraq, had years to secret away any chemical or biological weapons.
People have this notion that chemical weapons have this large “footprint” and take up large amounts of space.
A single tractor trailer flatbed is more than enough space to contain sufficient Sarin or similar to kill millions. Nasty stuff. How tough is it to hide a single flatbed trailer?

Then just...pad the totals so your people win. Make the FNM argue this is fraud and demand an investigation and have the AG tell them to FO there is no fraud.

Trump will sue you at the drop of a hat. He exaggerates when he doesn't have to. He's vindictive . One minor cross and you're dead to him. All Lefty traits.
We are fortunate that the Left attacked him immediately which pushed him to the Right. Though Trump 2.0 has also evolved to be less bold, more thoughtful and a great President.

Oh speaking of middle east policy I was always amused how the left has flopped between loving Iran and Iraq like clockwork.
In the mid 80s the argument was that as a modern secular socialist government the US should have been supporting Iraq over Iran and therefore Reagan was a bad man.
Then during the lead up to the Gulf war and during the argument was the Iranians were anti-colonialist heroes and the US should have been supporting them so Reagan was a bad man
After the Gulf War when Iranian terrorism ramped up again we were back to as a modern secular socialist government the US should have been supporting Iraq over Iran and therefore Reagan was a bad man.
And back and forth....up until today

Currently, COURAGE is the most important characteristic we need right now.
So Trump probably cheated on his wives and the FNM talks about it endlessly so he is A BAD MAN.
But Barack Obama cheat on his wife in gay sex clubs. The FNM doesn't talk about it so he is A GOOD MAN

Do those homosexual “bathhouses” contain even a single bathtub? I probably don’t want to know. Fauci probably knows.
He allowed that during the initial San Francisco AIDS debacle, he very often visited the “bathhouses” in order to better understand how AIDS was being spread. Reg’ler Sherlock Holmes, ‘e was!

This makes me wonder if Bolton was always disloyal to the country or if he turned. If he turned, what influenced him to do that?
I think he's a classic "I'm much smarter than they are, so why am I not rich and in control" guy. When he realized he would not actually control policy, the president would, his butthurt went to 11.

The answer to leftwing vote fraud is rightwing vote fraud. But this is a bridge our side is afraid to cross.
--
Even though the on-coming car has crossed over into your lane.
And even though the other lane is now open and safe:
Stay in your lane, do not cross the center line, run off the road, into the ditch and kill yourself if you have to.
But don't cross the line.
Even if it will save your life.
Even if it will save your country.
Don't you dare ever cross that line.
The rules are killing us.
What good are rules?
And those who enforce the rules?

I'd be willing to concede that Trump has certainly failed some tests about his character.
Several marriages, possible affairs, locker-room talk- all that indicates a defect in his character.
But, we don't have someone with better character we can turn to. Like Grant, he's rough around the edges, but he's the only one (so far) who's proven to take at least some of the steps necessary to save this country.
He fights. He fights the actual enemies of our nation. That's the single most important character test for our time.

I was under no illusions about the Golden Scalp Weasel and his character, which was why I was a Ted Cruz guy until Trump curb-stomped him in the primaries.
I was wrong about Cruz. So wrong.
I thought Cruz would line up behind the nominee, because of his superior character, but he turned out to be a back-stabbing little shit who wasn't smart enough to keep his mouth shut about any doubts he may have had.
Trump was elected DESPITE his many flaws, and thank Dog he succeeded. Especially after the Donk commie cocksuckers stole reelection from him in favor of that oatmeal-brained retard.

My theory about Trump is the Left hate him because he is exactly like them personality wise.
He is beyond bold which is different than being brave ( though my thoughts on Trump have evolved after the assassination attempts that he is both) .
Trump will sue you at the drop of a hat. He exaggerates when he doesn't have to. He's vindictive . One minor cross and you're dead to him. All Lefty traits.
We are fortunate that the Left attacked him immediately which pushed him to the Right. Though Trump 2.0 has also evolved to be less bold, more thoughtful and a great President.

The left hates Trump because he is the single most effective right leaning political leader currently living.
And that's why they pay the likes of NR to try and take him out
And as a thought experiment go back to the year 2000 and go to the most GOPey think tank you can imagine and ask them:
Would you support a Republican presidential candidate who had cheated on his wife if he also appointed the SC judges that would overturn R v W.
All of them ALL OF THEM would agree to that. In theory...when they weren't being paid to argue that is unacceptable..

Funny, this happened in WI, unintentionally, a few years back on SC election.
Late election night, on a close election, results were looking good for the liberal candidate after the city of Milwaukee and Madison did there normal late night dump of votes. Everything was counted. Then the election clerk in conservative Waukesha county said the tally was wrong and added 15,000 votes to her count which were 80% for the conservative candidate.
The conservative won and boy, were the Dem's PO'd.

Also the R party is FILLED with backstabbers. This cannot be ignored as it will outlive Trump and us.
Look at the "recommendations" for SC. What was he supposed to do? Hell there was a time, during and shortly after confirmation, where you couldn't sneeze the wrong way around here about Bony Carrot without getting railed.

I was for Cruz all the way until Trump won the nomination. I had no idea which way Trump was going to go once he won the presidency.
He came out strong and had me in the first few days of taking the office.
My hunch is that is when dems realized he wasn't on their side. At all. And it's been a shitshow for them ever since.
I still have respect for Cruz for humiliating George Bush when he won against the World Court to execute the illegals that killed the two girls in Houston during a gang initiation romp.

The problem with Cruz where he showed his naivete and more, is when he blamed Trump *supporters* for the staged violence from what turned out to be Hillary provocateurs but what most thought was Bernie People in the primaries. Either way we all KNEW it was staged disruptions from leftards but Cruz didn't just blame Trump. He said it was Trump Supporters (conservatives) causing it.
Idiotic because those are the people you are fighting for in a primary, and revealing because contempt for "us" is the hallmark of the GOPe. Always comes out in the wash.

Vintage Firing Line broadcasts are quite illuminating. (Dick Cavett, too).
There’s a good ‘un with a very drunk Jack Kerouac and some other 60s revolutionaries. Jack wasn’t having any of their bullshit, Buckley was bemused.
The Soviets had just invaded Czechoslavakia in ‘68 iirc, and was a bit inconvenient to explain away for the hippies, but they managed. No atrocities are too much, in the cause of the Revolution, you see. Barely an inconvenience

I noted I was concerned about her because she was pushed and vetted by McConnell, who we all know and knew was part of our problem. But I also realized Trump wasn’t an expert in picking legal minds. Like most executives, you have to rely on your team to get it right. I am not sure Trump 2.0 would have made the same choice. But then again, I felt so much more confident in her after her confirmation hearing. Yet here we are. To be honest, she gets many things right, but she is most definitely a uniparty wild card. She is ideal for the party of Mitch McConnell.

I don't think the SCOTUS decision on mail-in ballots is as bad it might have been. First off, it's a 5-4 decision, so the court was closely divided, and secondly, the decision at least requires a federal postmark no later than election day. States, like California, that do not check postmarks and accept ballots for weeks, have to get more disciplined. That helps, at least a little.
Again, though, we learn how terrible John Roberts is as a SCOTUS Chief, and that his mini-me is Amy Coney Barrett.
Let Alito and Thomas choose the next Justice, and ignore the Federalist Society entirely.

I think though its clear the SC is just going to let states do whatever the hell they want when it comes to elections.
The actual case at hand was tough in that do you throw out mostly (rural) ballots in Mississippi that took a few days to get from the post office to the precinct?
The problem is it's just so ripe for fraud if you allow it to be so open ended. A postmark is not hard to fake.
Huge loss for election integrity and i'm disgusted with the SC that knosw these loopholes are being exploited.
Congress will NEVER address this unless we get 75 Republican Senators

>>My hunch is that is when dems realized he wasn't on their side. At all. And it's been a shitshow for them ever since.
It's not really about Democrats vs Republicans. It's about an established ruling elite on both sides of the aisle vs the rest of us.
They started plotting to take Trump down in 2015. And it wasn't just Democrats. John McCain was part of it from the start and there many others including Bolton. He was part of the ruling establishment that favored endless wars they never intended to win so everyone got paid.
Trump isn't perfect, obviously. But he was thrown into a snake pit where it was almost impossible to tell who was a friend and who was foe. Trump, for all his faults, is a transformational president like few before him going up an established order that does not want to be transformed. There are trillions of dollars at stake. If you step back and look at how he is changing the country at the macro level and don't obsess about daily wins and losses the amount of structural change he has brought despite the headwinds is remarkable.

Yes, but then when Congress (or Trump) DOES do their job, rogue Hawaiian judges throw sand in the gears. SCOTUS needs to bring back judicial hangings.

Democrats recognized how dangerous Trump was to them from the start.
——
No, they really didn’t. That was the amusing part of the entire thing.
“Do it!!!” They dared him to run. The “experts” declared he would get beaten like a rented government Mule. They were ecstatic, in fact.
The Republicans, for their part declared that ANY other Republican candidate in the field of 18 or whatever it was, could beat Mrs. Clinton, but the Donald, you see, was destined to Lose.
My instinct was to immediately believe ONLY the Donald could prevail against Felonia Von Pantsuit. And it wouldn’t be easy.
He went up against both parties - the “Uniparty” Machine, the Press, media, the mighty Wurlitzer, the spook agencies, sundry foreign governments far and wide, and the rest of theusual suspects.
Not bad for a guy who never ran for public office.

The issue he's reading in the photo up top is the last issue I ever read. I started subscribing to NR just after I'd become politically conscious, 18 or 19 years old. When that issue came out, I looked at it, called and cancelled my subscription. AoSHQ had already unseated NR as my source of things political anyway, so no big whoop.

But if a state is doing mail in voting, can't say I would appreciate my vote being cancelled because the post office was slow.
Do I think the PO would purposely slow roll red counties and get them disqualified? Of course they would.
I just wish mail voting would be cancelled across all 50 states but I just dont see that happening.

Alito responded by saying his definition is the ballot must be received by election day, not postmarked.
Either way, states with looser laws (ie, states that count votes postmarked after election day, like Pennsylvania did in the 2022 fraud) have to change.

Everyone knows this. Everyone has known this forever. But with voting people are too regarded to to ow about mail delays I guess and so we need to allow for 12 weeks for the ballot to get from your mailbox to the counting center a few blocks away.

Again the same scenario as Voter ID. There are hundreds of scenarios where a photo ID is required and also hundreds of scenarios where correspondence must be received on a date certain regardless if the postmark is prior to that date.
Voting is the most important thing in the country and they treat it less important than renting a car or paying your water bill.

Then they deployed it to wreck his entire term. Game recognize game. Any leftist worth anything would have seen he fights like they do, which would have concerned them greatly, even if some thought it would make cheating Hillary in that much easier.
They absolutely knew. Others did too. I was one of them. Took me a month or two after he announced, but by August I had "got it". Tried telling people here intermittently. This place was fucking insufferable for much of 2016. Skepticism I understand but all I'm saying is some including the Left realized they were up against something that was a danger to their order.

Man, the paid demoralizers are out in force.
SCOTUS told Congress to do their job on mail-in voting and tightened the rules on it in the meantime. The Republican primaries this year have improved the odds of a functional Congress.
They also ruled that Trump can fire anybody he wants in the executive branch, which seems obvious but apparently isn't to Democrats.

Fortunately, Rubio has been rock-solid throughout his time in government. No causes for concern. Plus, he's from Florida and all Florida politicians are automatically thumbs up here.

The problem with allowing postmarks is that all you need is a couple of your people on the inside of the local post office, and they can back date as many thousands of ballots as you want.
Although I know it’s shocking to suggest that there could be anyone in the USPS who is overtly political and less than honest.

I feel like the Court is feeling vulnerable
they are getting that other judges and progs in general are just ignoring their rulings. so they're trying to be more moderate and restrained, so they won't be so obviously ignored by the Left.
it won't work.

When the Supreme Court says "Congress needs to fix this" it's always a decision upholding something liberal.
The reality is Congress is frozen with the filibuster. And everyone knows this.
Also, someone going to a voting place in person has been the default in America for about 240 years. Its just the last 10 years or so where all these other options have sprung up and caused chaos where it takes months to figure out who won and endless court challenges.

There's usually a path.
The USPS captures digital images of the exterior (address side) of nearly all letter-sized mail pieces as they pass through automated sorting machines. (Magazines, catalogs, large flat envelopes (flats), and some standard packages usually bypass the letter-sorting machinery and are not photographed.)
These images power the Informed Delivery feature, which allows grayscale previews of your incoming letter mail each day.
They're stored securely on local processing machines, typically for a week to 30 days, before being automatically discarded.
While the USPS doesn't keep a massive central database for public viewing, these images are accessible to law enforcement officials, such as the Postal Inspection Service, if requested for criminal investigations.
So it seems it has a data base that could view and capture the envelops of mail-in ballots.

I gave you the proof they realized it early on.
——
Facts by assertion? What “proof”?
It also depends on whom “they” are, of whom you speak. High level Uniparty globalists? Certainly, an outsider is a threat to the established order. They leave nothing to chance, and the politics of personal destruction cannon was deployed early, and often. That was mostly done by Republicans.
But the rank and file, and the “expert” media political commentators unanimously declared any Potential Trump Candidacy as a Joke.
“Do It!!” They were quite happy with this arrangement, if only briefly.
What was great they all seemed to think they were going to get rid of this upstart, and things will get back to “normal”.
Bush versus Clinton (again!) and Jeb! will surrender gracefully to Der Cankles. That was The Plan.
