I accept your concession, Victoria.. :D

Yes, sir. Nothing says "butthurt" like a dipshit carrying around a Confederate battle flag. It also screams "loser" and "traitor" and knows exactly which Party accepts it with open arms.

The REAL trolls of Weigantia(™michale), the ones who engage in nothing but personal attacks and have no real interest in any true back and forth debate, are simply overwhelmed by the sheer number of my facts and comments..

CTU President Jesse Sharkey made the comment Monday morning, nearly a week after his rank-and-file voted to switch to remote learning because of increasing coronavirus cases in the area.

They don't think their actions thru to the logical and wholly expected consequences...

Packing the SCOTUS and killing the filibuster is simply 2 current examples of this flawed thinking...

The Filibuster Has Not Been Weaponized
COMMENTARY

Under the upper chamber’s current system, an effective filibuster occurs when an attempt to end Senate floor debate, a procedural step known as cloture, fails to win 60 votes. Only eight failed cloture votes have taken place during the first year of the Biden presidency, half the annual average of the 20 prior years.

Compare and contrast that to the Democrat Party's use of the filibuster under President Trump.

In 2017, when Donald Trump was president and Democrats were in the minority, 61 senators — including 30 Democrats — signed a letter promising to preserve the right of the Senate minority to delay or block legislation. But now that Republicans are in the minority, just two Democrats — Sens. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) — are willing to make that same pledge. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) not only refused, he warned he will not allow the GOP minority to “dictate to the Senate what we should do and how we should proceed.”

And those are just the bills Democrats killed with actual filibuster votes. More often than not, the majority doesn’t even bring up legislation that does not have 60 votes needed to cut off debate. Just the threat of a Democratic filibuster stopped Republicans from moving forward on a host of priorities, including entitlement reforms, immigration reforms, lawsuit reforms, health-care reforms, budget cuts, expanded gun rights and the defunding of Planned Parenthood. And Democrats have used the filibuster to force Republicans to reduce the scope of some of their biggest legislative achievements. Republicans could not make the Trump income tax cut permanent, because they had to use the arcane budget reconciliation process (which requires a simple majority vote, but limits what can be enacted) to avoid a Democratic filibuster.

Proof positive of the mantra:

Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.

And ya wonder why people don't want to be FORCED to take that shot, eh???

Yep. Why people do the stupid things they do never ceases to amaze.

But perhaps the biggest surprise of all: Republicans and Democrats see almost eye-to-eye on this issue. Some 51% of Democrats support the filibuster, compared to 53% of Republicans, within the margin of error for the poll. And more Democrats (35%) actually oppose the filibuster than Republicans (24%).
https://issuesinsights.com/2022/01/10/ii-tipp-poll-finally-something-dem-and-gop-voters-agree-on-dont-kill-the-filibuster/

It's the epitome of short-sightedness on the part of the Democrats to get rid of the filibuster...

I mean, honestly.. Didn't they learn their lesson when Harry Reid made it so that Judicial appointments can be passed to the bench with a simple majority..???

It's that action that DIRECTLY led to the 6-3 Conservative SCOTUS this country enjoys today...

How could Democrats be so utterly stoopid and short-sighted to want to repeat that same boneheaded error??

Fortunately, there are still some SANE Democrats in the Senate.. Sinema and Manchin will hold firm...

I finally watched TOMBSTONE all the way thru... LOVED it!!! :D

Funny how LET'S GO BRANDON is "cowardly" but BLM attacking and killing cops is not...

This is made even MORE comical by the FACT that the LET'S GO BRANDON fad was CREATED by the Left Wingery to cover up the *FUCK JOE BIDEN* (actual quote... Don't hate on the messenger just because you don't like the message) attitude that was and is sweeping the nation...

Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.

And Democrats have the unmitigated GALL to DEFUND, DEMORALIZE, DEMONIZE THE POLICE!!

Pathetic..

Once again, MC acknowledges my comments. :D

Thanx MC... The space in your head that you give me is very roomy and spacious..

But I gotta ask... Why is your head so empty??? :D

Wonder why the CD&GC is dragging their feet on releasing the actual death toll FROM covid??

Because they know that the actual death toll ACTUALLY from COVID is about 5% of the total death toll....

The CD&GC must keep up the Democrats' COVID hysteria and fear mongering agenda..

Since we have established the FACTS on the 22 years (collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on hundreds of government buildings all over the country that Democrats ignore, as compared to the Democrat hysteria over Charlottesville and 6 Jan...

I thought we could move on to another topic..

What's yer take on the Rittenhouse trial and the White Supremacist BS spewed by the Basement Biden administration and the leftist media??

Dr Martin Luther King Jr is rolling in his grave..

What are Democrats afraid of?

So, obviously, it's the Left that is "at ease with the idea of violence against the government."

This jibes with the FACTS of Left Wingers ignoring 22 years (collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on hundreds of government buildings all over the country...

This fact is indisputable...

One tee meeny martoonies... :D

Heh. Sorry about that. Still recovering from my booster shot. "It nearly killed me."

And ya wonder why people don't want to be FORCED to take that shot, eh???

By ignoring 22 YEARS(collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots and attacks on hundreds of government buildings all over the country, Democrats and most Weigantians(™michale) have decided that "YES... We WANT a nation where political violence is the norm."

That question has been fully and completely answered by the Democrat Party..

They have been answering YES to that question since they created the KKK and Jim Crow and then fought tooth and nail against the Civil Rights laws of the 50s and 60s...

Reuters is as Left Wing biased as Politi-Fact and their "fact checks" don't mean shit..

When you have something from REAL CLEAR POLITICS, the ONLY official un-biased and objective news source for FACTS in Weigantia(™michale), then you can come talk to me...

that the Democrats did not condemn the violence of the riots and actions of AntiFa.

Did they do so with the frequency and passion that they condemned Charlottesville and 6 Jan??

Of course not..

Ergo, Democrats are still hypocrites.. Token Stooop.. Stooop from the Democrat Party is not condemnation...

And seeing how AntiFa has never been an organization with a central governing body but instead a random group of rouge movements that have chosen to use the name to fit their needs at the time,

Which is COMPLETELY irrelevant to the fact that AntiFa and Democrat policies align..

it is comical to say that they’ve been around for 14 years.

You may find it funny, but it's factual..

Favre got a look of HORROR on his face and was shaking his hands, "NO NO NO!!!" and the ref gave Favre a REALLY dirty look and then threw a flag...

Yes... Democrats are still butthurt that the Republicans made Democrats give up their slaves and then, in the 60s, it was Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Acts that Democrats fought tooth and nail against..

Yea, agreed... Democrats are still butthurt...

Amazing how these FACTS are, eh?? :D

The Progressive Logic - And Dangers - of Build Back Better

Why is BBB more important than the COVID legislation? Because pandemic relief was essentially a massive stimulus program, with the usual smorgasbord of treats for favored groups, but little more than that. Although BBB is also a massive stimulus, its real importance lies in the permanent entitlement programs it would launch, everything from universal pre-K and Medicare expansion to mandated paid leave from private employers.

Manchin’s proposal would have included funding for universal pre-K and an additional tax on billionaires. However, the WaPo said, there would be no expanded child tax credit in Manchin’s compromise. The latter was considered potentially becoming permanent, vastly increasing the cost of the original Biden proposal.

Say goodnight gracie... Democrats royally scroo'ed da pooch...

And now Democrats have NOTHING to run on in 2022... :D

A powerful overclass apathetic to the concerns of the people they are supposed to represent, and for whom they work, is the real miscarriage of justice they claim as their own.

This is what the Democrats' 8 Jan commission is all about...

I hope they choke on it... And, come Nov 2022 they will, indeed.... CHOKE on it...

The narcissism is just staggering. But it goes much deeper than that. Pitting groups against each other and stoking fear and anger is how our elites—our politicians and journalists among them—keep themselves in power, while average Americans are left with the tragic aftermath.

Again.. I have to wonder how Democrats can sleep at night...

Minneapolis erupted in violence following the death of George Floyd. There was no law, only disorder. The metro buses were shut down, curfews were in place, grocery stores and drug stores looted and burned. The Third Precinct police station was gutted.

Emphasis mine...

I have to say... I wonder how Democrats can sleep at night..

It's amazing how Democrats try and wrap themselves in the blanket of patriotism and AMERICA FIRST when it serves their political agenda to do so...

It's mind-boggling how Democrats can have the policy of DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE THE POLICE and then, with a straight face, turn around and lionize and embrace LEOs (but ONLY the LEOs that further their agenda) when their anti-America agenda demands it...

I mean, com'on people.. Can we cease with the crocodile tears??

Just like the Weigantia of old, eh??

But other than that, my day is free...

And yet, to follow the mainstream news, you'd be forgiven for thinking the destruction of cities across the country—the decimation of small businesses, many of them owned by lower income people of color—wasn't the biggest story of violence in recent history. That honor, to hear the media tell it, is reserved for an hours-long mobbing of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 has been the lead story in the liberal mainstream media all week long.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/liberal-elites-want-us-to-care-about-jan-6-but-they-dont-care-when-our-cities-burn-opinion/ar-AASxMEw

Why should any American care about 6 Jan when Democrats couldn't give a flying frak about **TWENTY TWO YEARS** (collectively) of 10x 6 Jan???

If anyone can answer this objectively and factually without any hysterically "OH MY GODS!!! IT WAS THE US CAPITOL!!!! THE SEAT OF OUR DEMOCRACY!!!" emotionalism.....

I will drop the subject...

heh.. Now THAT's funny... :D

Not factually accurate.. There is a PLETHORA of documented facts that PROVE the Democrat/BLM/AntiFa connections..

Would you like to me to link to them??

The biggest of which is Democrats did not condemn the AntiFa riots with anywhere NEAR approaching the level they condemned a single Right Wing riot...

Why would Democrats not condemn the AntiFa riots??

For the same reason that Democrats did not condemn the BLM riots.

Because the goals of BLM and AntiFa and Democrat Party align...

Turns out finding that article is going to be harder than I thought.. But no matter.. There are "oodles" of other facts that show that the US breakaway from British rule set the stage for slavery's demise in the world..

Far from being fought to preserve slavery, the Revolutionary War became a primary disrupter of slavery in the North American Colonies. Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation, a British military strategy designed to unsettle the Southern Colonies by inviting enslaved people to flee to British lines, propelled hundreds of enslaved people off plantations and turned some Southerners to the patriot side. It also led most of the 13 Colonies to arm and employ free and enslaved black people, with the promise of freedom to those who served in their armies. While neither side fully kept its promises, thousands of enslaved people were freed as a result of these policies.

But I’ve been disappointed by how often the Democratic response has exacerbated that mistrust by, for example, exaggerating the risks of COVID-19 to children. A low point for me was when Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe inflated child COVID-hospitalization numbers on the campaign trail. It was almost Trumplike. (If I lived in Virginia, I admit I probably would have had to sit out the recent gubernatorial election, in which the Republican candidate beat McAuliffe.)

And THERE is the problem for the Democrat Party...

A *LOT* of Democrats are going to "sit out" elections because they can't bring themselves to vote GOP, but the Democrat Party has broken the trust...

That is why McAwful lost.. And THAT is why Democrats will lose big in Nov...

I keep hoping that Democrats will wake up to the full range of health and social needs Americans are trying to balance right now, but that doesn’t seem likely. A friend now refers to herself as “politically homeless,” and more and more, that’s how I feel as well.

"Politically Homeless"... That's a good one. I bet a LOT of Democrats are politically homeless these days..

Which doesn't bode well for the Democrat Party in November..

Once again, I have to disagree..

1619 is NOT facts viewed from a different perspective..

America was founded as a “slavocracy” in 1619 and “anti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country.”

None of this is remotely true.
https://www.aier.org/article/debunking-the-1619-project/

Those are blatant lies that The 1619 Project claims as fact..

This one especially...

Americans declared their independence from Britain to protect the institution of slavery.

A blatant lie that is easily disproven... Matter of fact, the 1776 Declaration Of Independence was the harbinger of the END of slavery all over the world.. I wish I could find the article I read that proves this. Unfortunately, it was many MANY moons ago and I can't seem to locate it.. But if you doubt the claim, I can certainly find it...

There are OODLES (it's an industry term.. :D) of facts from objective historians that prove beyond any doubt that The 1619 Project is nothing but lie upon lie....

Oh sure, it's based on historical fact.. So is the bible..

But both are simply twisting the facts of history to achieve an ulterior goal...

Ideological control of the masses...

You are comparing the failed insurrection that the GOP was behind to “22 years (collectively) of Democrat BLM and AntiFa riots”; yet there is nothing that connects the Democrats to either group.

Not factually accurate.. There is a PLETHORA of documented facts that PROVE the Democrat/BLM/AntiFa connections..

Would you like to me to link to them??

Seeing how BLM didn’t get started until 2013,

Yes. BLM riots and attacks started in Jul of 2013 in the aftermath of the justified Trayvon Martin shooting... That's 8+ years ago..

Did I ever tell you that George Zimmerman is a personal friend of mine??

and most of “AntiFa’s” alleged attacks somehow only served to give free PR to D-List Right Wingers who were doing book promotion tours.

Not factually accurate.. AntiFa and Democrat policies align.. And AntiFa began in 2007 with Rose City AntiFa in Portland.. That's 14+ years ago...

Now, I know Democrats believe that "math is racist" :epic eyeroll: but 8 years + 14 years equals, collectively, 22 years...

You see how that works???

But if you are going to do that, then where are all of the GOP’s violent Proud Boy and Oath Keeper protests, the white nationalist and Neo-Nazi riots, or the pro-life attacks on abortion clinics in your stats?

Tell ya what.. I'll accept all but the pro-life as that is a whole 'nother subject..

You research and find me every Proud Boy, Oath Keeper, White Nationalist and Neo Nazi *riot* and we will compare that to every BLM and AntiFa riot...

We will need to set a time frame, as I am sure you don't want me to go back to all the Democrat/Weatherman/Black Panther riots and attacks of the 60s, eh? Or even FURTHER back to Democrat Party/KKK/Jim Crow violence.. Yer Democrats wouldn't look too good if we did that, huh?? :D

So, let's limit the time frame to the last 21 years.. The year 2000....

I'll look for your facts... No hurry.. I'll be around.. :D

I would go with "quirky"... :D

@75-76: whether parents, teachers or principals, most people are kinda morons. I don't think it helps to involve parents in curriculum unless they have something intelligent to contribute. Some do, most don't.

OK... Fair point.. I disagree but we can delve into that later..

Let me ask you THIS...

Even if you don't agree that parents should have some input (to whatever degree you believe) how wise do you think it is to actually invoke the Patriot Act and give parents' who DO want to be in their children's education the same treatment that domestic terrorists are given??

I am just looking for some common ground here...

Find out where we both are on this subject and then go from there...

Elizabeth, I scroll through both the trolls because neither is remotely interested in actual discourse.

Actually, as usual, you are completely wrong about this, as my interactions with Liz and JL PROVE beyond ANY doubt..

Allow me to restructure your claim so as to make it factually accurate..

Elizabeth, I scroll through both the Weigantians' comments because neither is remotely interested in actual discourse with trolls like me that constantly make personal attacks on them....

THERE... NOW your claim is factually accurate...

You just don't get it, MC... Hopefully, one day soon, you will grow up and become a valued member of Weigantian(™michale) society...

And once again, I am in MC's head.. :D

He simply can't NOT post about me.. :D

He's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And he's dancing like he's never danced before
He's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And he's dancing like he's never danced before

On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that
Moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

:D

Man, it's nice to have ya back but, Geez Louise!

It's impossible for me to even carry on a conversation with you in any small effort to change your mind on anything when you throw so much at me.

Fair enough... It's just when I see the trolls make so many personal attacks, I just gotta rub their noses in it.. :D

It's funny.. If they would actually cease with the personal attacks and make an attempt to carry on a dialogue, which is what they CLAIM they want, I would be so engaged with them that I wouldn't have time to find all these fascinating topics to discuss..

But here is what you can do.. Simply peruse my comments, find one that interests you, respond to that and then we can stay on topic for that subject..

Although I just caught a glimpse of it, I think that's what JL did above. He picked the 1619 project comment and we're going to explore that more fully.. :D

Easy peezy lemon squeezy.. :D

There was a time not too terribly long ago, when the number of comments mattered. But, I understand, you don't like this blog anymore??

Weigantia(™michale) will always hold a special place in my heart.. A world that I helped create..

I simply hate what it's became due to the Trump/America haters and bigots...
