&lt;i&gt;Hey Kick- &lt;/i&gt;

Hey, TX-1. 

&lt;i&gt;Wondered if you have any inside baseball on the Cuellar/Cisneros race. &lt;/i&gt;

Not as yet, but I could phone a friend who likely does. Let me get back to you on that. 

&lt;i&gt;Everything I have read has been pretty plain vanilla and thought you might have some details to share. &lt;/i&gt;

Stay tuned. I got friends in low places *wink* and will definitely report back. 

&lt;i&gt;Also, a moment of silence for our boy Louie G, coming in 4th among four in the AG primary. &lt;/i&gt;

Winning! 

&lt;i&gt;It appears that he got so toxic he was gerrymandered out by his own party. The newly created district runs from Waco to Naco, the very antithesis of a &quot;compact&quot; district but worth it to get rid of Louie Louie.
&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s your Louis, TX-1. Sorry for that. Louis isn&#039;t the only toxic Republican that lying spineless groveling cowardly Trump ass licking other Republicans have an issue with, and there are tapes to prove it.

&lt;i&gt;As always, your insights on state elections appreciated. &lt;/i&gt;

Watch this space. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;trump himself will never serve a day. &lt;/i&gt;

Define &quot;serve.&quot; If you are referring to &quot;prison,&quot; I will simply respond that there are worse punishments that can befall a narcissist/criminal like Benedict Donald than a stretch at &quot;Club Fed.&quot; Were Roy Cohn and Richard Nixon not &quot;dead as a doornail,&quot; we could ask either one of them to explain my point.

&lt;i&gt;a few small fish may fry, but the main point of the investigation shouldn&#039;t be to get trump or his groupies... &lt;/i&gt;

&quot;Get Trump or his groupies?&quot; We punish offenders as a deterrence to crime by the offending perpetrators as well as anyone else with two brain cells to rub together who is paying attention and/or maybe contemplating the same or similar illegal activities. Indeed, if there is no punishment (or attempted investigation/punishment) for criminal activity, your &quot;shining light&quot; acts as a klieg that screams: &quot;Go ahead because nothing will happen.&quot; 

So the main point of any investigation should be: Witnesses will be sworn and questioned under penalty of perjury, and perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law no matter who you are. Whether or not they &quot;serve a day&quot; is up to either a judge or a jury of their peers. &quot;Winning&quot; in a court of law while losing in the court of public opinion is more devastating to more perpetrators than one might imagine. Is a wealthy perpetrator who commits crime more likely to be able to &quot;buy their way out&quot; or &quot;wangle&quot; out of punishment? Of course. Is a not-so-wealthy White perpetrator who commits crime more likely to be given a lesser sentence or &quot;serve&quot; no punishment at all? Of course. 

&lt;i&gt;... it should be to shine light on the domestic terrorists who have operated with impunity for a long time - mainly because they happen to be white. &lt;/i&gt;

So you&#039;re saying institutional racism is alive and well in America? When multiple White perpetrators who willfully and with intent are given &quot;a slap on the wrist&quot; and/or sentences of probation and/or civic lectures for knowingly illegally voting multiple times in an election while a person of color receives a multiyear prison sentence for unknowingly illegally voting once on a provisional ballot that wasn&#039;t even counted at all, only an uneducated rube with shit for brains would argue against your totally &quot;on point&quot; factual statement. 

Trump&#039;s right-hand coconspirator was recently thrown off the voting rolls in North Carolina for knowingly voting illegally in an election in a state in which he did not reside. Anybody believe Mark Meadows will &quot;serve a day&quot; for knowingly committing a voting crime? If he does, anybody believe he&#039;ll get a multiyear sentence? Not unless they are willfully ignorant and turning a blind eye to existing institutional racism.

You make a lot of great points, without including pie, but I digress. 

As for my cryptic post, it wasn&#039;t actually meant to be about Donald, per se, except to the extent that it was/is his ample ass being licked by multiple lying spineless groveling cowardly Republican Trump ass lickers. 

&lt;b&gt;So, to recap: &lt;/b&gt;

* Republicans are lying spineless groveling cowardly Trump ass lickers.  

* People are ratting them out.
 
* There are tapes. 

* What... no pie? :)</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;&lt;b&gt; Pro-life medical experts rip media&#039;s coverage of abortion: Not following &#039;science&#039; but &#039;political rhetoric&#039;&lt;/b&gt;

Once again.. Proof positive that Democrat &quot;science&quot; is nothing but poorly disguised Democrat activism...&lt;/i&gt;

I’ve checked around and not a single medical school offers “Pro-life medicine” as a specialty; nor do they teach any classes by that name.

So your expert isn’t a medical expert, but a political hack.  Proof positive that Republican &quot;science&quot; is nothing but poorly disguised Republican activism..</description>

		<description>Hey Kick-

  Wondered if you have any inside baseball on the Cuellar/Cisneros race. Everything I have read has been pretty plain vanilla and thought you might have some details to share.
  
  Also, a moment of silence for our boy Louie G, coming in 4th among four in the AG primary. It appears that he got so toxic he was gerrymandered out by his own party. The newly created district runs from Waco to Naco, the very antithesis of a &quot;compact&quot; district but worth it to get rid of Louie Louie.

  As always, your insights on state elections appreciated.</description>

No one here has underestimated me (except nearly everybody here) and anyone who&#039;s read the self-worded bio of Don Harris. 

&lt;i&gt;I have nothing to lose here as no one here has the courage to engage in rational discussion about One Demand. &lt;/i&gt;

You are confusing apathy with apprehension. Not surprising based on your bio. &lt;--- Since you seem permanently infinitely confused, that is definitely &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; me pretending to underestimate your obvious object and factual ignorance. 

&lt;i&gt;If any of you had truly underestimated me then you wouldn&#039;t be afraid to engage in rational discussion as you have all consistently refused to do. &lt;/i&gt;

No one here is afraid of you. 

&lt;i&gt;The fact that you don&#039;t engage in rational discussion proves that you realize that One Demand is a good idea and could work because if you could make a case with rational discussion you would do it instead of lying, trolling and dodging. &lt;/i&gt;

Let it sink in that at this point, nobody (except you) gives a hang about your hang-up.

&lt;i&gt;That is why CW will not address it. He knows it is a threat to the big money politicians and big money interests that he spews propaganda for. &lt;/i&gt;

The only thing petrified is your platitudinous bullshit. Pun intended. 

&lt;i&gt;He wants to keep the idea out of the marketplace of ideas that is a cornerstone of democracy. &lt;/i&gt;

If CW actually did want to keep your bullshit &quot;out of the marketplace,&quot; couldn&#039;t he just take away your posting privileges? Rhetorical question. 

&lt;i&gt;Seems I comprehend a lot more than Mtn Caddy thinks.&lt;/i&gt;

Seems to me like you are wholly incapable of connecting the dots. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Justice Dept. appealing court decision ending mask mandate&lt;/B&gt;

(NewsNation) — The Justice Department is appealing a federal judge’s ruling that voided the federal mask mandate on planes and in public transportation settings, officials said.

According to reports, the notice of appeal was filed in federal court in Tampa.

The appeal comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged the Department of Justice to appeal the court decision that removed COVID-19 face mask requirements on mass transit.

The agency said it is their “continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health.”

It’s unclear if President Biden would request an emergency stay from the appeals court to immediately reimpose the mask mandate on public transit or not.
https://www.newsnationnow.com/health/coronavirus/cdc-asks-justice-to-appeal-court-decision-on-mask-mandate/
&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

This is a HUGE mistake on the part of the Biden Administration..

If Biden&#039;s handlers LOSE this appeal, which is all but a certainty, then it&#039;s going to be impossible for the CDC to impose any more mandates..  Even if the actual science warrants a mandate...

Bad move, Biden..  Very bad move..</description>

		<description>&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;Is Justice Jackson Democrats’ Last Hurrah?&lt;/B&gt;

Democrats celebrated the confirmation of the nation’s first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court at the White House earlier this month. And when Justice Stephen Breyer retires in June and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is officially seated on the high court, there will likely be more festivities to highlight this historic pick – 2022 is an election year after all. Democrats should enjoy the party. Not only is Jackson the first justice they have confirmed in 12 years but, thanks to a blockade by Republicans and structural bias that favors them holding power in the Senate, she could be the last justice seated by Democrats for many years to come.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/04/21/is_justice_jackson_democrats_last_hurrah_147497.html
&lt;Blockquote&gt;

ANYONE who celebrates Jackson Brown&#039;s ascension to the SCOTUS is a racist..

Or, at the very least, a person where race has unwarranted and irrational importance in their lives...

In the completely equal society that Democrats CLAIM they want, the ONLY response to &lt;B&gt;HURRAY!!!! A BLACK WOMAN WAS PUT ON THE SUPREME COURT&lt;/B&gt; is, &quot;Yea??  So???&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Cheering such an outcome is basically a default admission that, some how, in some way, black women are inferior..

It&#039;s saying in effect if not actual practice, &lt;B&gt;&quot;WOW..  A black woman is SOOO inferior yet she STILL managed to win a SCOTUS seat...&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

That attitude in this day and age is remarkably obtuse and racist..</description>

<p>ANYONE who celebrates Jackson Brown's ascension to the SCOTUS is a racist..</p>
<p>Or, at the very least, a person where race has unwarranted and irrational importance in their lives...</p>
<p>In the completely equal society that Democrats CLAIM they want, the ONLY response to <b>HURRAY!!!! A BLACK WOMAN WAS PUT ON THE SUPREME COURT</b> is, "Yea??  So???"</p>
<p>Cheering such an outcome is basically a default admission that, some how, in some way, black women are inferior..</p>
<p>It's saying in effect if not actual practice, <b>"WOW..  A black woman is SOOO inferior yet she STILL managed to win a SCOTUS seat..."</b></p>
<p>That attitude in this day and age is remarkably obtuse and racist..</p></blockquote>

You believe WHAT is true??

Further, THAT is exactly your problem..  You are all about &quot;truth&quot;...  Not facts..

&lt;I&gt;But go ahead, prove me wrong.&lt;/I&gt;

I will.. Once you actually make a claim and not just spew numbers..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Cowardice to engage in rational discussion is proof of a weak mind and no integrity.&lt;/I&gt;

You never have any rational discussion..

All you ever show is comment numbers..

I don&#039;t debate with numbers.. They are pretty limited...

&lt;I&gt;Your actions betray your comments.&lt;/I&gt;

Facts to support??  No???

Of course..  :^/</description>

		<description>In a way, the circumstances in Ukraine is eerily similar to my epic battle with DirecTV..

I had amassed approx $3.8 million my first year..  

DirecTV came after me with everything they had.. Spent OVER 5 million dollars....

They ended up with about $40,000...

When it was all over, I asked &quot;Dave&#039;s&quot; lead attorney, &quot;Was it worth it??&quot;

He said and I quote, &lt;B&gt;&quot;Well.. We definitely didn&#039;t get what we expected..&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

Sometimes the best outcome you can achieve is not to win..  But to make sure your enemy loses...

So it is with Ukraine..  

Ukraine cannot win...  

But Ukraine CAN make sure Putin loses...</description>

While we&#039;re waiting I also subscribe to NYT, WaPo,  Detroit Free Press, The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Economist and soon, Foreign Affairs. POLITICO is my go to straight political news source and I&#039;ve been rumored to frequent that clown Chris Weigant&#039;s comment section.</description>

That&#039;s obviously an allusion to the KKK..

And WHICH Party was it that created the KKK??

WHICH Party was it that gave this country the vile, disgusting and perverse KKK??

Oh yes, that&#039;s right..

It was the DEMOCRAT PARTY...

It&#039;s ironic..

The Party that today embraces CANCEL CULTURE and wants to erase all vestiges and reminders of racism and slavery?

Is the Party that is the BIGGEST vestige and BIGGEST reminder of racism and slavery....

The Democrat Party...</description>

		<description>And NOW the stakes are even higher in 2022...

If Democrats cheat again in 2022 as they did in 2020..

They be goin&#039; to JAIL!!!

&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;U.S. Election Officials Face Their Biggest Threat Yet — Jail Time&lt;/B&gt;

(Bloomberg) -- Over the last two years, local elections officials across the U.S. have faced a deadly pandemic, shortages of funding and workers, false claims of election fraud and even death threats.

Now they could face prison, too.

Under a spate of laws proposed or passed in at least 10 states, elections administrators could see criminal charges and penalties that include thousands of dollars in fines or even prison time for technical infractions of election statutes.

&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

If Zuckerburg tries to do in 2022 what he did in 2020??

He&#039;s going to JAIL!!!  

It&#039;s obvious that Democrats won&#039;t try and cheat this time around...</description>

		<description>Again, keep in mind that THIS comes from a Democrat Propaganda Machine...

&lt;Blockquote&gt;&lt;B&gt;It&#039;s been a very bad few days for Joe Biden&lt;/B&gt;

(CNN)Joe Biden would probably like to forget the last few days.

They&#039;ve been filled with confusing messages on critical topics, projecting an image of a directionless White House led by a President whose tendency to veer off message is only adding to his problems.

Consider:

* A federal judge in Florida struck down the administration&#039;s federal travel mask mandate on Monday. In response to that ruling, the Biden administration first didn&#039;t make clear what its next steps would be. 

* The administration has a revolt on its hands over its previously announced decision to rescind Title 42, a public health measure put in place in March 2020 -- in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic -- that allowed border patrol officials to turn away migrants seeking asylum.

* Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the leading liberal voices in the country, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times suggesting that Biden and the Democrats need to start playing offense, legislatively speaking. And this bit of frank talk: &quot;To put it bluntly: if we fail to use the months remaining before the elections to deliver on more of our agenda, Democrats are headed toward big losses in the midterms.&quot;

In short: Biden didn&#039;t have a lot of goodwill left with the public before this week. But the conflicting messages coming out of the White House -- and the broader Democratic Party -- make it look like there is no plan to turn things around in advance of the midterm elections, which are now just over 200 days off.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/20/politics/biden-mask-mandate-approval-rating/index.html
&lt;/Blockquote&gt;

Things are getting WORSE for Democrats, not better...

And the longer things get worse, the worse Democrats are going to do in November..

It&#039;s a forgone conclusion that Democrats will lose the House..  This is accepted by all... 

And it&#039;s fast becoming apparent that Democrats will lose the Senate as well...

The only option for Democrats is to limit the losses..  Outright wins are simply not a possibility..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;C&#039;mon, Guysic, you&#039;re better than this old silliness. Accepted by whom?&lt;/I&gt;

By everyone who follows politics and can read the writing on the walls...

Take a poll here in Weigantia..  I don&#039;t think you will find that ANYONE here believes Democrats will actually hold onto the House and Senate in Nov..

&lt;I&gt;As fact?Conjecture is not fact.&lt;/I&gt;

I am not talking about conjecture..

Today, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west.

Is that not fact??  Even though it hasn&#039;t actually happened yet, it&#039;s still a fact..

So it is with Democrat losses in November.

Unless some cataclysmic event happens, Democrats will lose Congress in November.. 

This is fact...


&lt;I&gt;A fetus is not an unborn baby. &lt;/I&gt;

Not factually accurate..  A fetus can survive outside the womb at 22 weeks...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Florida prosecutor&#039;s crackdown on repeat offenders leads to drop in violent crimes as Dem city crime soars

Progressive criminal justice reforms have coincided with rising violence in big US cities&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-prosecutor-crackdown-repeat-offenders-drop-violent-crime

So, lemme get this straight..

When you actually PUNISH criminals like they do in Florida instead of running a race-based justice system where black criminals go free like Democrat governments do....

Crime actually GOES DOWN!!???

Who woulda thunked it!!!???</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Hey Dude, that&#039;s some solid MtnCaddy work product upstairs. Effing listened to Tucker with enough of an open mind to listen to what he&#039;s trying to say. And bapped my considered reactions out on a not quite de militarized (read, cracked) smartphone.&lt;/I&gt;

You actually LISTEN to Tucker Carlson!!???

WOW... You must have a strong stomach...  

I never could listen to him..  Carlson, Limbaugh, Hannity...  I never could listen to them.. 

I roll my eyes so much, I am afraid my eyes will get stuck in the back of my head..  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The Dems can prevail but they must message the victories as well as hammer on the cray-cray alternative [REPUBLICANS] offer come November. And all of it in the optimal moment.&lt;/I&gt;

Dems cannot prevail..  This is accepted as fact..

The ONLY thing Dems can hope for is to limit how bad their losses are..

And to date??  Those efforts have been failing because Democrats KEEP DOUBLING DOWN ON STOOPID..

But make no mistake..  Come Jan 2023, the GOP will be in firm unequivocal control of Congress...  

And, once the recession hits in late 2023/early 2024, Democrats will be in one of the WORST positions ever for the POTUS election of 2024 AND facing an impossible matchup in the Senate..

It&#039;s going to be a bad bad BAD few years for anyone calling themselves a Democrat..</description>

		<description>So..  Lemme see if I understand this..

Democrats..  Who HATE big corporations being given special privileges and breaks...  Have been after this Holy Grail in Florida of taking Disney&#039;s special breaks and privileges away for DECADES..

But NOW...

NOW that the GOP is on board, NOW Democrats are *AGAINST* taking away big corps special privileges and big breaks..

Because Disney has gone woke, *NOW* Democrats want to PROTECT Big Corps big breaks and special tax privileges...

Because Disney is all about being WOKE, *NOW* Democrats DON&#039;T WANT Big Corps to &quot;pay their fair share&quot;...

It&#039;s ALL about the ideology....  :^/

And it&#039;s also especially ironic..

When the GOP wants to punish businesses and big corps..  The GOP does it within the LAW..

When Democrat Party wants to punish businesses and big corps.. Democrats send out BLM and AntiFa terrorists and thugs to DESTROY...  

&lt;B&gt;&quot;We need to give them room to destroy&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Democrat Party

The decimation and demise of the Democrat Party simply CANNOT come soon enough...</description>

		<description>In the world of bass guitar it&#039;s almost &lt;i&gt;not so much the notes themselves&lt;/i&gt; but the &lt;b&gt;spaces between the notes&lt;/b&gt; that make it TASTY.

		<description>I hope y&#039;all like my formatting, especially in the first part of Comrade Carlson. I have Art skills and asthetics are important to me (shout out to Michale -- you&#039;re doing your part, too) so I try to make it visually interesting, using the HTML toolbox to vary and space my narrative to get it to breath a little.

I can&#039;t help but refine my Libtard chops by soliciting honest feedback so please,  gimme your two cents.</description>

		<description>Whoops! Well I guess I gotta finish it now. 



Miles of Biden gaffe-o-rama film, big whoopee. They had a couple of token black guys dispensing the kool aide. 


Tulsi Gabbard (right down at the bottom of my Primary preferences...with Joe) was criticized by fellow Repugs for saying she&#039;s against something absolutely no one is remotely proposing and that&#039;s hot war with Russia. Like no one proposes to try to take our guns away, it&#039;s a shit solution to an imaginary problem. Tulsi is slick, I&#039;ll say, right up to the part where she says that criticizing her is modern day McCarthyism. 

The media empire so chill about Ivanka&#039;s Chinese trademarks and Jared&#039;s Saudi billions is shocked, shocked I tell you, that prominent black Dems have hired their own relatives over the years.


Oh yeah, besides Zuck and the Dems the Silicon Valley Mob Twitter, Facebook,  Apple, Google, Amazon and Netflix &lt;i&gt;manipulated the 2020 election: suspending Parlor was proof!&lt;/i&gt; They conflate freedom of speech (it affects Government conduct, alone) and freedom to say anything you want anywhere you want. So what if it&#039;s their playground so it&#039;s their rules? Conservatism of that ilk is as dated as Reaganism, puh-leeze!

So Facist Democrats want a thought control tyranny where no dissent is permitted. It&#039;s obvious. 

So, there you have it, in chronological order. Yer welcome. 




AS FOR ME, I am left to ponder whether a second date with a bar of Dr. Squatch and endless hot water is in order. The question is, can I fall asleep while feeling like I dunked my head in a barrel of sun-rippened kool aid and I&#039;m still icky?</description>

*sigh*
Too early to tell, but maybe Michale is right and us Dems are doomed to suffer. 



Maybe, like my ancestral DNA getting slaughtered in Ukraine, I better get used to it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Depressed as can be, I dove into Ukraine research (Spoiler: the war is going well but at insane cost) and as the evening waned I stumbled across this &lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/V49Chaq2H8k&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tovarishch Karlson 20.04.2022&lt;/a&gt; video.(30:54)

&lt;i&gt;
Bez reklamy blagodarya nashim tovarishcham iz Silikonovoy doliny na YouTube!
***
Commercial free thanks to our comrades in the Silicon Valley mob over at YouTube!&lt;/i&gt;


&lt;b&gt;So, for no particular reason I eased myself down and smoked a bowl and thence took a different kind of hit...for you, Team Weigantia. For us!&lt;/b&gt; Yes, I:

1- Sat through the whole thing. 

2- Without even thinking about hurling my cell. No, really – I&#039;m effing proud of myself! I could never do that before. Couldn&#039;t help Media Matters monitor enemy  airspace without a  fresh TV every three days. And that&#039;s without a firearm in my possession. For the record, breathing right and being mindful seemed helpful. 

3-Took detailed notes &lt;i&gt;right there on the same page with my first day of wagering MLB. We are talking about a very sacred space here, people.&lt;/i&gt; Not quite like CW recounting important  speeches, but still. This is free,  y&#039;all. Although any wayward wager settlements would be welcomed! Grift is bipartisan these days – woot!  ;D

Carlson is like that always cranky Uncle at the table, a permanent scowl on his face and endless grievances. The one who never questions himself and disdains any who do. Gawd, for his family&#039;s sake I pray he&#039;s not like that all the time, he&#039;s that convincing. He&#039;s top-shelf at setting the audience&#039;s expectations and sharing their subsequent perception of the subsequent material. &lt;i&gt;If you look at it this way…&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;***Warning – Mature Audiences Only***&lt;/b&gt;

This is a very alternative universe with it&#039;s own alternative facts. This parallel universe (read, propaganda) sprang from and supports the Gingrich School of Politics as Holy War. Thirty years of Republican&#039;s grooming poor and uneducated Americans to fear and hate and kick down at marginalized groups (while they pick their pockets) was inevitably going to have to get this cray-cray to keep the rubes all riled up and distracted, see?&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;
So. 

What should America fear?&lt;/b&gt;


JOE BIDEN is senile. Or else HE&#039;S OUT OF CONTROL. He was installed by establishment Democrats and Zuckerberg &#039;s $419M to safeguard rig our election to stop Trump&#039;s economic populism. 

MICHELLE is next.</description>

		<description>In Utah, a Republican governor vetoed a transgender-athlete bill, noting that it was targeting only four athletes currently playing. From MSNBC:Last month, Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox also vetoed a version of the measure in his state, citing data that only four trans high schoolers played sports in Utah.

“Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few,” Cox, a Republican, wrote in a letter to the state Senate president and House speaker. “I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly.”</description>

Does absolutely nothing but oppose American progress out of the latest GOP failures because Biden is President?



Or the baddest and most resilient country in history once again standing strong and leading the prosperous and free world against tyranny?&lt;/b&gt;

		<description>Speaking of short attention spans, I&#039;m not anywhere close to being fretful about next seven months. This is especially true regarding the J6C hearings, justice for every last Insurrection co-conspirator and enabler and managing Covid.




I&#039;m understandably less certain about electoral success come November. No denying that the headwinds are, well, windy to say the least. But times are not normal and there are tons of moving parts. 

Making the political, legal, economic and Constutional arguments against Repugs  prematurely would waste a bunch of GQP manufactured criseses. That&#039;s the reality of short attention span syndrome.


The Dems can prevail but they must message the victories as well as hammer on the cray-cray alternative they offer  come November. And all of it in the optimal moment. 





MIND YOU I&#039;m not advocating any kind of &lt;i&gt;collusion&lt;/i&gt; between J6C, DOJ, Georgia and New York and the Dems game plan. What reason could Merrick Garland, the Deep State and the rest hold any kind of grudge against the Repugs and Herr. Trump?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Republicans didn&#039;t use to be for this sort of thing either, though. They spoke in glowing terms of the sanctity of the free market and denounced &quot;burdensome regulations&quot; on corporations. They were all for giving business a free hand to do as it liked, pretty much universally.&lt;/i&gt;




Oh, but they will be once again squawking these same words when legislation is proposed that &lt;b&gt;doesnt&lt;/b&gt; benefit their corporations.



Heck, at the very same time. Do you really think that there&#039;s some kind of floor beneath GQP conduct? Some hypocrisy, lie or action that they won&#039;t stoop to?


These are the guys who are still trying to overturn our Constitutional Republic, for Pete&#039;s sake. 


Kind of in the vein of &lt;i&gt;

The life expectancy of the filibuster the moment the Repugs win the Senate.

How long is a nanosecond?</description>
