I disagree. When a criminal wants to talk, you let him. Everything he says is potential evidence against him or those in his circle. The worst thing you can do in a criminal interrogation is leave the room or turn off the mic.

I disagree with the notion that Schiff’s bit was an error. I think it’s exactly the kind of trolling he should do of Dotus. He’s better suited to be out front on this than Nadler, and the more he can get the media and Trump focused on him and not the Biden angle the better.

We’re not having a civil war in the middle of football season. But that lull between the Super Bowl and March Madness looms large.

Unfriendly Climate — article from Texas Monthly
That’s because “penicillin” is the lie told by Satan’s minions to cover up the truth of the healing powers of prayer. And tricky if you, dark one, for slipping in the big lie that there were even plagues across Christendom to begin with. You cannot defeat the faithful, we are protected. 1 Samuel 2:9.

If we could get a news cycle dominated by Bill Weld calling for Donny's execution, that would be beautiful.

What's going on with this DNI Whistleblower ?
Why even bother with a debate? The media would wonder if Donny won if he said nothing and simply made jerk off gestures for an hour while Warren spoke. A smart campaign can avoid a debate while making it seem Dotus is doing the dodging. Insist on things they could never agree to, while making a strong case that anything less is mere theater and the people deserve better. Sure the media will debate that endlessly, but that process shit is boring and won’t matter without the juicy sound bites they’d get from a debate. They’d have to cover other parts of the campaign. Hell, just insist he releases his tax returns first.

Dozens more Trump admin officials should go to prison before the Trumpening is over. They won’t, of course, but it’s worth noting what should happen again and again so the historians who study this period know that not all of us bent over willingly and let this country go to shit.

Texas still locks folks up for pot, but, yeah, the laws that are actually important are just guidelines, really.

What’s wrong with that? You can do all things in His name. ALL things. Unspeakable things. You just need her consent, not His.

Todd clearly failed to impart focusness. With that we can overcome all else. Do we even have a focusness QC coach?

We Are in a Political Cold War
- Donald Trump 2019
I now want to see Stephen Miller, Ivanka and Jared try to Weekend at Bernie’s Don-don before this chapter closes.- Trump's Trade War
Of course it makes sense. Tribalism is innate, rational decision-making is not. When your sense of self is shaken, instinctive drives take over. Many of those folks don’t feel they belong in a country where a black man can run things.- Donald Trump 2019
Democracy is hard, and we’re just not up to the task.- Is the tide turning?
That does need to happen. That process begins by winning everywhere. Statehouses, governorships, both houses of Congress and the WH. And when you win, take note of how the GOP got us here. DO NOT handwring over the excesses over your base/fringe. Allow the radicals to flank the old center. After you win, then you can consider the excesses of radicals. Not until you win, though. The neoliberal order is being drowned by a populist wave. Ride that to victory.- Is the tide turning?
On immigration, his views should be the center. On taxes, no, the center should be on the side of at least trying to hold the deficit in check. His regime failed in that regard. On foreign adventures, fuck no. In short, I very much disagree.- Is the tide turning?
It's also yet another instance of the snowflake mentality of today's "conservatives." For a group that loves to thump the personal responsibility line, they sure do blame a bunch of things on others. What it really hammers home to me is that modern conservatism has been revealed to be nothing other than greed and naked self-interest dressed up to look like a high-minded ideology.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
I have heard of those sayings. Other groups are maligned as greedy, hence the way I phrased my post. To take her tweet as a slur is to say you can never claim that the motives of Jews may be economic self-interest. That’s absurd. Now, is she an anti-Semite? Maybe. I’m not well versed in her career. I’m only commenting on her tweet in isolation. I do so because, at the time it was a news story, it was complained of as anti-Semitic in and of itself, and not in the context of her previous utterances.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
The conservative bench on these boards was thinned considerably the last several years, as it became clear that the bases for their views were being totally betrayed by the pols who claimed that mantle. After Trump's nomination, really only Escriva and Tahoe remained. When brisket and GOLL stopped going to bat for GOP positions, it really weakened the discourse from the Right on here and Shaggy. Of course, that reflects our national dialogue as well. The Weekly Standard wouldn't convert to Trumpism, and folded. Those "conservative" outlets that remain hold nothing like the views of Buckley, Will, Friedman, Kirk, Noonan, etc. It makes sense that the Right complains of persecution, because we're here every day accusing them of having nothing of substance to say.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
I still don’t get that one. Greed isn’t a trait peculiar to a negative stereotype of Jews. I get that they’re associated with money-exchanging occupations, but it just seems too much of a stretch to say that tweet was a slur. - Donald Trump 2019
