The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

This raises some uncomfortable questions for conservatives. One of those questions is: How long are we going to keep pretending that this madness isn’t madness? Another is: How long will we continue to pretend that what’s being broadcast by Fox News and talk radio is political commentary rather than the most shameful, irresponsible, and unpatriotic kind of sycophantic for-profit propaganda? A third is: What exactly is the benefit — for our ideas, and for the country — of making common cause with these lunatics and hucksters?

Which far left publication is this from, you ask? Why those well known socialists at The National Review.

nice


and is that a shopped scene with clarice and hannibal?
 

I don’t own any guns myself, because until recently, I had a mentally ill stepson in the house. I do own swords and knives, which I keep stored carefully away. And no one needs to worry about the slippery slope on guns anymore. DC vs. Heller has never been more secure. In making the Supreme Court so conservative, the Republicans unwittingly destroyed the issue of guns and made the NRA redundant. It will lose its cold sweat, nightmare effect on the right.
 
Actor Edward Norton delivers the most succinct summary of Trump's desparate endgame HERE

It's worth a read.

An excellent analogy if you play poker...
I’m no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught me a lot & I’ve also sat a fair amount of poker w serious players & l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network’...

...or that ‘chaos is what he loves’. The core of it is that he knows he’s in deep, multi-dimensional legal jeopardy & this defines his every action. We’re seeing 1) a tactical delay of the transition to buy time for coverup & evidence suppression 2) above all, a desperate endgame

...which is to create enough chaos & anxiety about peaceful transfer of power, & fear of irreparable damage to the system, that he can cut a Nixon-style deal in exchange for finally conceding. But he doesn’t have the cards. His bluff after ‘the flop’ has been called in court...

His ‘turn card’ bluff will be an escalation & his ‘River card’ bluff could be really ugly. But they have to be called. We cannot let this mobster bully the USA into a deal to save his ass by threatening our democracy. THAT is his play. But he’s got junk in his hand. So call him.
 
I won't wish Don Jr. a horrible COVID-19 infection.

I'm not expecting humility in the face of.

What the universe may choose to give him, however, that's an altogether different kettle of fish.
 
Just heard the word, just a minute, ago.

Long list of testing positive, at that House.
 
SC Sen. Lindsey Graham, commanded by Presiderp to "go fetch."

Old Basset dog eyes are not puppy eyes, and human beings are counting the ballots.

No treat for Lindsey Graham.

I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

hmmm...

"According to ace Trump attorney Sidney Powell, Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp,
and his Republican Secretary of State (both strong Trump supporters), are in a conspiracy with
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Hugo Chavez (who has been dead for 7 years), China, and
Venezuela to rig the election through Dominion voting machines used in numerous states,
to include some that Trump won.

"The Dominion official went on to explain that electronic vote tallies can be audited
with a paper trail."
