"I am pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-hate, but Democrats to me are even bigger hypocrites than Republicans. I always vote for the most socially liberal Republican and I lie about it."
Says an anonymous 30-year-old New Yorker, quoted in "13 Political Secrets People Kept From Family and Friends. What’s Yours?/We asked readers to share a political secret they’d never told a soul. Hundreds responded," from 2 months ago, just before the elections, but I'm reading it this morning in the NYT because the illustrations were featured in something new, "The Year in Illustration 2018."
Another one, from a 23-year-old Utahan, "I know my husband would divorce me if he knew I voted for Trump. Some secrets save marriages." It would be funny if the truth was he'd divorce her if he knew she thought of him that way.

I call it The Paradox of the Millennials: too young for the intersectionalities of Gen X, too old for the zippiness of Gen Z. Who are they? And Y?
Not a secret, but I used to be a Dem. In college, all the professors and good people were Dems. The Jesuits are famously liberal. I was even elected to a minor public office as a Democrat. I then grew up, wised up and switched.
I never voted for Reagan. And I voted for John Anderson. Remember him?
Dear NYT, I voted for Trump because I saw a Facebook ad of Hillary arm wrestling Jesus. Now I'm having second thoughts--about my NYT subscription.
Telling the truth can get your popular show cancelled:
Travel Channel host Andrew Zimmern is under fire for for saying that Chinese food in the Midwest is served in “horses–t restaurants.”
Everything the New York Times prints is to reassure their readers that they are not the garbage people America is convinced, they are.
Funny how people never have to pretend to be Republican out of fear. It's as if Republicans are more open minded and accepting than Democrats.
I've never had to lie about voting for socially liberal republicans, but I'm running out of bodies.
I voted for Charlie Baker. Didn't have to lie about that.

Depends on where you live.
I have no more use for conservatives than for liberals, but I do have more respect for them.
Back during the Iraq invasion, a new term--neocon--was created. There was never a clear definition, though in practice it seemed to mean a Jew who supported the war. My favorite definition was a liberal who thought liberals were a greater threat to liberalism than were conservatives. By that definition, I am aneocon.
"I know my husband would divorce me if he knew I voted for Trump. Some secrets save marriage
The husband might well have felt the same way about HIS vote for Trump.
This is why it is imperative that we continue to have secret ballots.
Many (MANY!) people want to vote different from the crowd in the street
This is why the demos feel it is imperative that we allow vote harvesting

Examples please.

It’s been done away with in California with their hew “ballot harvesting” law. It was used to wipe out the Republican House members in Orange County, for example. If the RNC was worth a damn, they would challenge the law on secret ballot basis.
yes Henry! Examples Please.
Socially liberal?
You mean like Trump?
"The Jesuits are famously liberal."
I call it the Paradox of Father Marquette: you come to serve the indigenous peoples of the Americas. But who knew they'd end up serving you?
TiV, i'm pretty sure i (at least, tried) to address ballot harvesting when i said:
This is why the demos feel it is imperative that we allow vote harvesting
Having a democrat (or a union rep) ask you to sign a card (or ballot) is pretty much the OPPOSITE of secret ballots; which is Why demos and unions Demand them
Wait! Gilbar, come back here. You got me. That was funny.
(I call it The Paradox of Gilbar.)
i thought it was Hillarious! but, i assumed that they'd killed him. it seems now that they didn't
I had said.... It's a COOKBOOK!
He died of dysentery. They fed him Sagamité.
Connect the dots.
There are many good Democrats in San Francisco. In fact, the whole city and whole political structure votes Democrat. The rich folks in Pacific Heights vote Democrat, and fund pretty-boy empty suits like Governor Gavin Newsome. The poorer folks around town vote for Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris, but they have problems in their communities: .
"In February, the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit surveyed 153 blocks of the city to determine just how filthy it is. When the team presented its findings to Dr. Lee Riley, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, Berkley, she told them she believes parts of San Francisco are dirtier than some of the world's poorest slums.
"The contamination is...much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India," Riley said"
Sounds like a shithole country. Thanks Democrats!
Having a democrat (or a union rep) ask you to sign a card (or ballot)
Wait, sign the actual ballot? How does that work? In MT we sign an outer envelope and the ballot is in a secrecy envelope inside that.
i have No Idea how it works; i've Never filed an absentee ballot, Anywhere
But i've been reading reports about people 'signing blank absentee ballots'
Just the same, if someone came to my door with an absentee ballot; and wanted me to fill it out while they waited.... I'd think that secret voting was gone
You folks in the upper 50 are totally fucked up with your elections. If I ever move there I will not register.
The only valid elections
Voter id cards with pics and so on
No voting except in person (with a very, VERY, few exceptions)
No voting except on election day (see above)
Paper ballots
Hand, not machine, counting.
John Henry
As I understand it, "ballot harvesting" (at least the California version) allows any 3rd party to drop off signed absentee ballots at a polling place.
JH, don’t forget election watchers of all parties watching everything. And a clear chain of possession of the ballots.
This post is yet another example of Ann's Democracy Derangement Syndrome.
Republicanism makes you a pariah in socially active, populous places (or even Utah) because Republicans are stingy people. Stinginess doesn't go over well for people who value sociability, and the more people, the more they value that. It's interesting that these people are such assholes that even the least asshole among them are aware enough to know that their predilections make them assholes according to popular opinion, but still secretly vote for the least asshole candidate who manages to support their asshole ways.
As I understand it, "ballot harvesting" (at least the California version) allows any 3rd party to drop off signed absentee ballot envelopes at a polling place, after confirming the person voted correctly. (If the person did not vote correctly, the envelope is "lost" prior to delivery, or the envelope is opened and the ballot replaced by a "corrected" ballot.)
Peggy Noonan just urged credible Trump insiders to become "Noble Rats"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-insiders-come-out-of-the-shadows-11545956675
The quoted 30-year old doesn't say how the Democrats "to her/him" are "even bigger hypocrites." Just a blind, subjective assertion. But that's a higher standard of truth than objective fact/reasoning for Republicans so what can you say.
Ha Ritmo is STILL frosted that Trump thought it was funny to pay hookers to pee on a bed where Obama slept! The bastard! Lese Majeste!
Here’s a definition for you Ritmo since you probably don’t know what it means and are probably too lazy to look it up:
Lèse-majesté (/ˌlɛzˌmæʒɛsˈteɪ/[1] or /ˌliːz ˈmædʒɪsti/;[2] also lese-majesty, lese majesty or leze majesty) is the crime of violating majesty, an offence against the dignity of a reigning sovereign or against a state.
He made a joke about the Perfect One! OM FUCKING G! What was he thinking! Nobody mocks Obama! Then he beat Hillary! The lowlife bastard!
Guilty gilbar, I didn’t read your whole comment. I am just so pissed that the RNC is not taking that to court. You know damn fucking well that the Democrats would if the shoe were on the other foot.
Or are you mad Ritmo, like those people who were mad at the Dixie Chicks, because he mocked Obama on foreign soil? Yeah, those former Dixie Chicks fans had it right! Nobody makes fun of an American President overseas.... Is that it? Just. trying to make sense of why you are so mad about some hookers peeing on a bed.
Your emperor wears no clothes, timmy. All his friends and closest confidantes are going to jail. Hopefully he will find himself there too, one day. Republicans can't help it - see Nixon. And their "ideologies" are so bankrupt that they're left with nothing but the cult of his own stupid personality. Let's see how long that works for him, and for you.
"I always vote for the most socially liberal Republican and I lie about it . . . I know my husband would divorce me if he knew I voted for Trump."
Call it tolerance asymmetry: among cons, you can safely confess to supporting the other side; among progs, you risk your marriage and your livelihood.
Trump commits so many daily, regular abominations that attempting to figure out which one in the catalog (#3,457?) that timmy recites is a lost cause. I'll settle for the fact that timmy at least recognized and can refer to a single one of them.
All his friends and closest confidantes are going to jail.
Yes, all that remains for you is to topple him and replace him with whatever Stalin you guys decide to worship and your dream of a banana Republic will be complete!
We see that it is illegal to beat Hillary! She can hire foreign spies in an effort to defeat Trump, Fusian GPS, and zero problem. It’s almost like this whole thing is projection. Naah! Your whole PPTAPEs thing came from a foreign spy paid by Hillary. You are such a purblind fucktard.
I don't have to be mad about President Bone Spurs' pee pee tape to make fun of the fact that he's the coifed Butthead of presidents. Trump's got secrets. And secrets invite speculation. Scandal. Salaciousness. Who knows what the Russians have on him? Who knows what he's hiding in those sekrit tax returns? All we know is that he hides them for a reason. The more you scratch the surface of this guy the more you find out what a fraud he is. And even your flyover friends will learn all that one day also. He's a phony. Opening declaring how phony he is by self-negating his own tweets from one day to the next doesn't make him less phony. It just makes him a phony who can't make up his mind - whatever exists of it.
She even lied on her reporting about paying that foreign spy, who got his “info” from Putin spies, BTW. She called it “legal expenses”. No jail time for her though. Even the FBI said that they didn’t charge her for mishandling classified info because she was too stupid, well, lacked the “mens rea” to even know she was committing a crime.
Mens rea (/ˈmɛnz ˈriːə/; Law Latin for "guilty mind"[1][2][3]) is the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime; or knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed.
Hillary is supposed to have been the “smartest woman in the world” yet she was too stoopid or ignorant to know she was. committing a crime, and Trump is a moron, right? And no “mens rea” escape clause for him!
What kind of country do you want to live in? One where it’s illegal to oppose your party?
In Hollywood in 2008, some bigwig in Hollywood (Rahm Emanuels brother perhaps?) threatened to fire anyone on the set who did no support Obama.
Yes, all that remains for you is to topple him and replace him with whatever Stalin...
That last word is where normal people with functioning brains stop reading. Although "banana Republic" was a nice touch. Sure, Trump's doing nothing along those lines.
Tinfoil hat wearer, adjust your antennae!
don't have to be mad about President Bone Spurs' pee pee tape
It’s weird then that you lead with it. It’s almost as if it’s really important to you that Trump mocked Obama.
In Hollywood in 2008, some bigwig in Hollywood (Rahm Emanuels brother perhaps?) threatened to fire anyone on the set who did not support Obama.
If they could crush the deplorables, the leftwing democratics would do so.
If they could starve us to death and take away our livelihood, they would. Normal people know this.
It wasn't enough for tim to justify Trump's abominations on the basis of... Stalin! banana Republics! Hillary!
And of course Dickin Bimbos has to add in... Hollywood!
Yes, Trump - the Game Show Host Pretend President - is the elixir that will finally make Hollywood go away!
Your delusions grow more hilarious by the day.
Well the 200 performers who pledged allegiance to Obama, for reasons.
Tinfoil hat wearer, adjust your antennae!
Is Trump leading a government wide effort to throw his opponents and their children in jail?
It was Stalin’s secret policeman who said “You show me the man, I will show you the crime.” I think his name was Mullerevski or Muelerkovich or something.
...lead...
Lead? It's an avatar. You mad, bro?
Trump mocked Obama.
Trump mocks everything and everyone - respectable or not. Because he has no respect for himself. He doesn't understand the concept.
One telling indicator that you are in a cult is when the right think separates you from your family or friends and lying becomes a constant survival strategy. The most ubiquitous lie is the demonizing of the outsiders and their motives.
Your delusions grow more hilarious by the day
A big part of your projection is the attempts to bully those who call you on it PPT. It’s just that you are not very good at it. It must be so disappointing to you.
Obama is a loser for making Hillary his Sec Of STate.
She is the most corrupt asshole to ever force herself down our collective throats. And millions of corruption-excusers voted for ->her.
Trump mocks everything and everyone - respectable or not. Because he has no respect for himself. He doesn't understand the concept.
More projection.

LOCK HER UP!
(No precedent in American politics for that one).
Strengthen the libel laws.
First take away the guns, then go through due process.
You know. Examples of Trump's great respect for rule of law.
The motherfucker doesn't even know what the constitution is. Probably because, to paraphrase Marco Rubio, he's not mentioned by name in it.
Keep twisting yourself into those pretzels. The guy LOVES Putin and Erdogan and Kim for a reason. He admires tyrants. He shares with them their lack of any use for the rule of law or any constraints on the absolute power he desires.
Republicans are stingy people.
Only with my own money.
Everyone is free to open your own account.
But somehow you always want mine to feel good about “helping.”
Normals want justice for Hillary.
LOCK HER THE FUCK UP.
So PeePee - tell us about how Bryan Pagliano plead the 5th over a hundred times so he wouldn't incriminate himself for setting up Hillary's PRIVATE SERVER WHILE HEAD OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
More projection.
Any psychiatrists in the room want to raise their hands and tell the commenters the number of times they went to "tim in vermont" for professional advice?
I thought so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dangerous_Case_of_Donald_Trump
That's 27 psychiatrists et al who disagree with you. But perhaps your Republican "gut" instinct just kNOWs they're wrong. Just like you think NASA is wrong, and the economists are wrong, and the evolutionists are wrong, etc. etc. ad infinitum ad nauseam. Keep fighting that war against knowledge and reality, tim.
Why did Obama and Hillary want flexibility with Russia? and talks, and re-set buttons?
Now somehow - that is all illegal. Just like it is illegal for Hillary to lose and election. It is also illegal to make a movie critical of HER. ODD?
Don't worry, Seeing Red. We know you don't make enough to make any difference at all in our tax revenues. Once you do, then let us know. We'll be happy to share your intense worry about how your huge tax burden is being misused for you then. Until then, go call up the Kochs and offer to carry their water for them yourself.
Why don't you show us that pee pee tape, Ritmo? Oh that's right, it never existed.
Do go fuck off, asshole. And stick your head in an oven. A gas one. One with a pilot light you can blow out while the thermocouple is still hot.
Imus used to hang out with Trump at ballgames and such and reported Trump has a wonderful and very dry sense of humor.
That's been my observation.
The best humor mocks PC. That's probably a temptation to Trump as well.
Normals want justice for Hillary.
LOCK HER THE FUCK UP.
This is not what normal citizens in a normal country consider justice. This is what lynch mobs recite.
I told you a hundred times, since you have so much evidence of both the wrongdoing and whatever statute you feel she violated, go call up the prosecutor for the jurisdiction in which this occurred and recite to them the statute and evidence you have against her on the matter.
Oh... so you don't know the law and don't know how it works and don't know what cases a competent prosecutor could bring against her? THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP. Go read a book on American civics of practical law first and then get back to us later. In the meantime, send your lynch mob chants and mottoes to the SDNY and go join Mike Cohen and Paul Manafort and Cesar Sayoc in their jail cells and stop polluting the threads here with your angry idiocy.
Another perfectly good thread ruined.
Democratic candidates are getting more insane, more dictatorial, more radical left.
No PeePee - Hillary never faced justice for her crimes. That in itself is the biggest injustice of all. Normals know.
Do explain to the class why it's OK to set up a private Server while head of the State Dept and use it to stuff secret Russian cash into the Clinton coffers.
Darrell's another one who's mad.
Go join a lynch mob, Darrell. April Apple will head one up for you.
Light those torches and contact your Charlottesville crowds.
Jews will not replace you, Darrell. Stay mad enough to remember that.
Another perfectly good thread ruined.
Facts "ruin" mockturtle's fantasies.
The subject at hand is normal people who feel they cannot admit that they don't vote for democratics.
Why - because Democratics are often crazy revenge seekers. See peepee.
Kinda gross how you all help ritmo masturbate.
Did you attend the leftwing Anfita democratic lynch mob that showed up at Tucker Carlson's home - to threaten him and his family - peepee?
No PeePee - Hillary never faced justice for her crimes. That in itself is the biggest injustice of all.
And they are...?
Do you even know what a "prosecutor" is? Or what a "statute" is?
Go share your extensive, intense legal know-how with that prosecutor you feel is so obstructing your justice, April.
It's amazing that in a participatory democracy there are people so intensely ignorant and stupid. No wonder your team wants to suppress the vote.
That's the other kicker. According to the leftwing antifa lynch-mob - we are all KKKers.
Wow - another reason why normals are turning away from the democratic party.

Don't worry, Paco. I'll share with you, also!
Republican masochistic weirdoes.
There is no statute of limitations for the types of federal crimes Hillary committed.
I'm not even sure what "Anfita" is (hmmm... "Antifa" as spelled out by April Apple when she's in a "fit" of rage... ;-)) but I don't know what I have to do with either or how I somehow stopped or got in the way of any prosecution for anything illegal they did.
But April supports a lawless president so I can see how she got confused between my priorities and hers.
You can see right here why some people need to lie about not following the group think. There is a meanness, an unhinged rage that lashes out if you step off the plantation.
There is no statute of limitations for the types of federal crimes Hillary committed.
Hypothetical, made-up crimes that you still haven't managed to name.

Ritmo,
It is Sunday morning and you are obviously manic.
Take your meds.

"...later, repeating that quote, I said: "Freedom and democracy depend on our disinhibition; we need to be able to laugh at authority."
I call it productive, Fran D. Obviously if I were as decrepit as you responding factually to partisan loonies and so quickly would present more of the challenge you feel it should. But by now I can anticipate what these uncreative maniacs are going to say, and respond to them more quickly to them than you can reach your Medic Alert bracelet. Perhaps the diversity of their silly whines is wearing thin, at long last.
@President Pee-Pee Tape
You playing like recorded tape??
Evading facts?
Prosecutor give immunity to all and interview all together to get story excuses same.
Well they found a way to cut out bermans trumps appointee at the sdny, and fast track Hillary's matters to khuzaimi who used to work for mrs atrzok no conflict there.
Jack,
Yes to poll watchers. Also to chain of custody.
And some other things like accounting for every single ballot (usef, spoiled, unused) uv ink with a
proprietary wavelength
And more.
Something we don't have with elections in Puerto Rico? Allegations of fraud. Ever.
We don't even have jokes about election fraud (vote early vote often etc)
Doesn't do any good to get us better politicians. But at least we get our corruptocrats honestly.
John Henry
Bottom line is leftwing democratics are anti-free speech.
They want you to "shut the fuck up", or else.
PeePee stands with Hillary and the fake FBI interview with Peter Strozk, an interview that was not even recorded.
Clinton Crime Family is above the law.
Leftwing loyalists are A-OK with that.
Private Server while Head of State Dept - fine and dandy.
Amazing that everyone on team Clinton got immunity. How does that happen to anyone else?
IT DOESN'T.
There you go, DIckin. Your sputtering has collapsed into the final 10:02 piece de resistance. Go tell them.
Yes, leftwing democratics are so obstructing your free speech. Go force them to platform and sponsor your lack of knowledge on the Sekrit Hillary Files. That'll teach 'em! If you can't be forced to host someone else's speech then how free are we?
Prior to the 1980 election all voters, statewide, were locked into classrooms at 2pm.
After everyone had voted, not before you could leave.
Show up at 2:01? Sorry. See you in 4 years.
Don't forget to renew your voter card if you miss an election.
Typically around 80% turnout
Dickin Bimbos' posts are getting so watered down, conspiratorial and slanged up I almost expect to see them in cut-out/pasted-together differing newsprint fonts the way serial killers used to write ransom notes.
Yep. Immunity is never offered to conspirators in an investigation. Nor plea bargaining. Someone has apparently hijacked our justice system. Especially the prosecutor who is offering immunity to "unindicted co-conspirator #1" - i.e. that president of ours that Blackout Brett Kavanaugh and his fellow crony conservatives don't believe can be legally prosecuted on account of his still occupying the office.
THat's ok. SDNY will take out every one of his loser buddies until he's left with no one and nothing left but mountains of evidence and an ever-tightening legal noose around every one of those backdoor trap-door escape hatches that he's used so well for so much of his completely asinine life.
You would expect that a dedicated troll would admire Trump, but the envy has taken over.
You would expect that a dedicated capitalist would have less respect for Trump's cronyism but the bootlicking has taken over.
None of his lackeys here can successfully defend Trump any more but their resentment against me still remains just as strong.
A case study in right-wing hatriotism. Even when the detestable and false things that they stand for collapse all around them, they will continue to make it about the people who point all that out.
You all need to go away. Write your congress critters and tell them to stop gerrymandering and taking PAC money.
We know that getting them to stand up to your "billionaire blue collar president" is a lost cause. He's the only liar left you can look to.
But not for too much longer.
It must have been fun while it lasted though, eh?
Look at it this way. No other party can crash a country for as long as Republicans can. Consider you animals lucky.
Now goodbye.
Now goodbye.
Rest in peace, motherfucker.
Yes, Darrell. Your anger won't keep you warm at night, either. Even if the cigarette in your pacified mouth lights the bedroom ablaze.
"I pretend to be a Democrat because I feel like people assume Democrats are 'good' and Republicans are 'bad.'"
"I am pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-hate, but Democrats to me are even bigger hypocrites than Republicans. I always vote for the most socially liberal Republican and I lie about it."
Anti-hate, huh? There's an awful lot of arrogant accusatory hate expressed in those comments. Certainly not a lot of love.
Trump is the joy rider who jumped aboard a bumper car hot-wired with explosives and crashed it into the entertainment arena he was riding around in. And that entertainment arena is called "The GOP."
We couldn't be happier. ;-)
" I always vote for the most socially liberal Republican and I lie about it."
Courage is the rarest of human qualities.
This post sounds like more of the same from 2016. The media stomped their feet about Trump to the point that the people kept their mouth shut about their intent to vote for him, and the meltdown election night showed they never saw it coming. It has worsened since. The elite have doubled down on doxxing, shunning and the like. They apparently find it amusing when people are chased out of restaurants, frightening children of Republicans with protests at their home, making increasingly vulgar and fraudulent allegations, etc. Trump voters notice and continue to be incentivised to be quiet, or at least give vague and cagey responses, and vote.
This was an interesting thread until Pee-Pee showed up.
Well, last half of this thread was proof the left is completely unhinged, if PPPT is any example of our "intellectual elites" on the left.
Courage is the rarest of human qualities.
Lord knows bag of water could use some of it. Or maybe just some honesty, at least.
Donald J. Trump - Duly elected President of the United States. Get over it. It's been a thing for while now.
Don't worry, Tommy Duncan. If you're looking for interest and entertainment you can check out Angry President Bone Spurs' Twitter feed. I heard that one's plenty interesting!

In Philadelphia it's standard practice for the Democrat pole watchers to kick out the Republican pole watchers on some pretense (improper credentials, halatosis, whatever...) then do their dirty work while the Republicans go looking for a judge (who surprisingly can't be found) to let them back in. This is why Philly always has dozens of polling sites with 100% voter turnout and 100% votes for the Democrat candidate.
Donald J. Trump - Duly elected President of the United States. Get over it.
Why don't you try getting over the fact that this credential couldn't keep Nixon from facing his fate, either.
Hell. Even Andy Johnson was legally occupying the office. Until he no longer could.
What's going on? Is Trump teaching you crony capitalists that only by being a president is it possible to keep your unchecked ambitions from legal or political culpability? Because that's another falsehood only fit to be taught at Trump U.
But hold on to what you must, crony capitalist.
"I always vote for the most socially liberal Republican and I lie about it."
Lie to whom? The first person he is lying to is himself since "the most socially liberal Republican" is, in essence, a Democrat who is in turn lying about what he really is.
I'm impressed alanc709. Your intellectual heft is so overpowering.
Is this the best that the right-wing trolls have to offer? At some point it's no longer about trolling or troll defense and just accepting the fate that your president has nothing left to defend, and few places left to go.
He's done. He's going down.
It's the type of party crashing you wanted. But party crashers need to start a better one or they just end up with the cops called on them as they get hauled out in handcuffs, spitting and cursing and yelling at everyone around them.
That's your president! Be proud!
Donald J. Trump - Duly elected...
Just not by the voters.
But don't you worry, Crony Capitalist. You have been hearing from and will continue to hear from them as well!
I expect you'll put your usual earplugs in. Just don't blame me for the noise.
Your undemocratically elected WH resident did all this to himself.
At this point, I think it's fair to say that only a deranged blogger would deny that I have utterly owned the Trumpanzees of this thread. Perhaps derangement in Trump's favor is a greater lunacy than "derangement" against him.
Stop denying how badly burned your president is about to become. Charred to a crisp. It's only going to get worse.
What's in it for you to keep up this charade of propaganda and interference for him? The guy started out with millions less popular votes, a horrible approval rating, and a temper tantrum. Now he loses 40 seats in the House. Dozens of close confidantes hauled off to prison in less than two years due to investigations and scandals and election fraud and other violations at which he's right smack dab in the center. In what way do you think this gets better for him?
How does this get better for you?
It occurs to me that President Trump will be happy to let the Mueller investigation run til 2021.
He'll be able to campaign on being the cleanest president ever.
4 years and tens of millions and there aren't any charges much less convictions. At this point Mueller doesn't even know what he is looking for. Something! Anything! To show he has not wasted his time.
Squeamish fascists hardest hit
John Henry
Yes, geniuses: go on assuming Democrats are good. Just because they love serfdom and want to make you a serf, and their basic socioeconomic agenda is legalized looting, is no reason to think ill of anyone.
To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, the average "liberal" Democrat's mouth (including Colbert's) is Big Brother's cock holster.
Henry said...
“I've never had to lie about voting for socially liberal republicans, but I'm running out of bodies.“
Trump is more socially liberal than Obama.
So yeah. You just don’t really know what you are saying. People who vote for Democrats just don’t think much.
Squeamish,
When could Andrew Johnson no longer be president?
Wasn't that 1869 when his successor was inaugurated?
John Henry
It's good that we've got johnhenry to remind the Republicans here of Andy Johnson's wonderful political successes post-impeachment and the fact that he believes Mueller has to answer to him personally on the purpose and aims of the investigation.
You must be an important guy, johnhenry.
Ok I can see here now that the Trumpets are in a slump. I'll leave them to their downfall.
I haven't had many problems in this regard. Those who know me pretty well know that I tend to go on the offensive pretty easily. If they bring up Trump and his issues, I start probably start with Crooked Hillary's illegal email server, the Benghazi coverup her disastrous love affair with the Muslim Brotherhood, and its consequences in Lybia, Egypt, and Syria, the massive level of election law violations that have already been documented, etc. And ask them if they really will admit in public to having voted for probably the crookedest woman in the country? Why? Are they in favor of that level of corruption running our country? That level of corruption not behind bars? If they mention Russian collusion, peeing in beds, etc, I launch into my deconstruction of the Spygate/FISAgate scandal. Inevitably, they only know what the media want them to know, which is close to nothing. If they adamant about the subject, that doesn't last. But they usually drop it like a hot potato, because facing cognitive dissonance tends to be uncomfortable. So, yes, I tend to be uncomfortable for Dems to be around. Their problem. Not mine.
Of course, if I am meeting new people, and trying to make them like me like them, I will tone it down a lot. At least until they try to argue seriously in favor of a Clinton vote. Those are NPC sheeple.
What does lead to good discussions is when we discuss policy. For example, a good friend of mine, who registered D at the same time I registered R (1972), has an undergraduate degree in Econ, and an MBA from Chicago. We talk the tax cut. I love it, of course. He doesn't. The big issue involves the level of deficit spending, and whether or not taxable incomes will rise as a result enough to cover it. He can't, so doesn't, defend Obama's prolifigate wastage, which is where the problem really came from. We have to accept his doubling of the national debt as water under the bridge.
President Pee-Pee Tape said...
“And they are...? “
She took TS/SCI material off sipr. Thousands of times. And deleted and distributed it to dozens of people without clearance.
There are service members in jail for 5 pictures they never distributed.
If I or any regular service member did what Hillary did we would be in jail for life.
Period.
Oooh, it looks like Bitchmo is gearing up to one of his 150 comment melt downs where he inevitably starts throwing out transsexual slurs to prove what a good tolerant liberal he is.
Probably a combination of none of his family wanting to be around him at Christmas combined with the coming realization that it will be another new years eve alone.
It's not even noon yet Bitchmo, yet already hitting the bottle. What's your libation of choice? Have you considered switching to delicious and refreshing bleach?
The only posts more insane than drunk posts are hungover posts. Nothing more infuriating than a failed life viewed through the fog of a morning after.
Ritmo Said Pee Pee Tape (heh heh)
"Your undemocratically elected WH resident [sic]"
Trump was Constutionally elected. The "national popular vote" is a meaningless construct. The US has 51 state votes, not a national vote. Trump won that; all the ranting and raving by the Left can't change that fact.
Ask dr. Hatfill about that it took him at least 5 years to try put back his life back together, or the families of Greco and tamaleo.
Some things never change:

At least Achilles gets closer to what April Apple couldn't figure out. But he still needs to ask his prosecutor how the case against Hillary varied. He can take it to the prosecutor and see their answer instead of mine. Assuming he was a good and truly interested and law-abiding citizen.
And it's always good for a fringe blog to have a resident death-threats issuer, like Presidouche Mommy-gina. The surest sign that your side embraces a cause so lost, that only violence and the psychopaths that love it, are still down.
Oh, and here's Greg Hlatky talking smack about how constitutions elect presidents. Well, if he hates democratic legitimate so much as to feel he can keep coasting on shoving two of the last two Republican presidents through without a popular majority, then I suggest they keep governing as if the will of the people doesn't matter. See where that gets him and his party - which always shits on what the vast majority want anyway.
Pee-Pee has it backwards.
Even left wing studies find Republicans donate more to charity. Democrats are only generous with other people's money. As soon as the big taxes they vote for hit them they look for loopholes and exemptions.

...studies find Republicans donate more to charity...
Given how much more per capita poverty, homelessness, bankruptcies, health liabilities and other social failures we have in America, this is just Cacimbo Cacimbo's admission that Republicans prefer ineffective non-solutions. Throwing money at problems in ways that don't work. The countries that distribute more publicly have better outcomes on all those scores. But I guess they care more about actually doing something about those problems instead of proving how generous and wasteful they are.
And that's no surprise given how badly Republicans run up debt when in office. Never quite sure what they get out of it, other than obvious lobbyist support.
Well, Bill Clinton didn't get a popular majority of voters in 1992 or 1996. He got a plurality. So did Hillary. Talk of "popular majority" is just silly blather. Everyone knew the rules in 2016. Hillary lost according to those rules.
I’m about to give up this blog over Pee Pee even though I have been coming here for many years. This is turning into a hate post area by someone who has true mental issues but more importantly cannot seem to respect the idea that when his side loses - you wait and try to win the next election. Delegitimizing the process works both ways - so beware.
Bodies were dropping all over Boston, but assistant us atty Mueller could connect the dots to be fair neither did delahunt or governor weld.
@Bruce Hayden: Regarding your well-thought 11:03 -- PPPT knows all that, yet he chooses to cover for Hillary even though he has harshly criticized her in the past. He's either a party organ mouthpiece or he has a piece of party organ in his mouth.
Hillary wasn't prosecuted because she was viable candidate for POTUS and the Strosz fraternity in D.C. was afraid of her and her potential for revenge.
There was a culture of fear in D.C. among the "professional" classes leading up to the 2016 election which was replaced overnight by a culture of contempt. This is obvious to any D.C. outsider.
Even left wing studies find Republicans donate more to charity.
That's true but with a huge caveat. A lot of that "charity" represents donations to churches. Salt Lake City is the most charitable city in the country. Some of that goes to charity. A lot of it goes to building brick buildings with steeples.
Pee-Pee, Rather than acknowledge you are wrong about your claim that Republicans are stingy, you are changing your story to claim that Democrats stinginess with their own money and generosity with the money of others is better policy.
"Given how much more per capita poverty, homelessness, bankruptcies, health liabilities and other social failures we have in America..."
Given your claim it is odd that people looking to immigrate choose America as the country they most want to live in by a large margin.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/11/these-are-the-countries-migrants-want-to-move-to/
While socialist utopia's like Venezuela do not even make the list. Even the nordic utopia's leftist's claim to love are low down on the list.
Tax returns give everyone the chance to donate money to the government. Why is it leftists like yourself never take them up on this. Then the government can redistribute all your cash.
Ironclad said...I’m about to give up this blog over Pee Pee even though I have been coming here for many years.
Don't give up on the blog. Instead, just imagine that PPPT is a fixture here. I've said before that if Ritmo didn't exist, Althouse would have to invent him (note how she has never addressed him nor even tagged him). He/she is important for balance you see.
My husband was a Liberal, in the British sense [not Labour] so we were opposed, politically. He would often sneer at American Capitalism even though, as part of the 'brain drain', he moved here for enhanced economic opportunity provided by American Capitalism. Although I'm sure he saw the hypocrisy in his attitude, he never acknowledged it.
Examples please
You realize that Althouse linked to article who's very title is "13 Political Secrets People Kept From Family and Friends."
Did you just assume that every one of those secrets was about secret Republicans?
Can't imagine telling anyone that I am a Democrat.
They still believe in Socialism, the dumbest idea of all time.
They hate individualism, the necessary precondition for the rule of law.
Why self identify as a moron?
" A lot of that "charity" represents donations to churches."
After Hurricane Sandy hit my area I became very involved with the Long Term Recovery Organization that sprung up after the event to Hoover up government money. Very eye opening regarding "charities". I will no longer give to large charities, especially the Red Cross. However, religious groups were amazing. Various Christian churches came in van loads from hours away for months. They were the people who helped do the dirty work of gutting peoples homes. These were not skilled construction workers, they were home makers and office workers who donated their much needed time and labor. For years after Sandy the Mennonites were here rebuilding homes for people. I am not religious, however, now if I am looking to donate following a disaster I find a local church in the area and send my donation to them. Based on my experience they are the best ones to see the money actually gets to the people who need it.
Local churches do a much better job with authentic charity. Why leftwing cultists are so filled with rage over them. Leftists prefer tax rape and mega money laundering fake-charity to feather the nests of the democratic-bureaucratics.
"Did you just assume that every one of those secrets was about secret Republicans?"
None of the stories are about having to hide being a Democrat. One is about having to hide being a Socialist - but it doesn't say from who, so even that story could be about having to hide a political truth from Democrats out of fear of their intolerance.
Cacimbo, you are so right! In New Orleans after Katrina, the Salvation Army and the Southern Baptists Convention furnished the most aid and churches sent money and workers to the area. But the media will never acknowledge that.
Squeamish,
Perhaps we should elect our presidents more democratically, right.
Maybe you'd prefer the way the Brits elect their Prime Minister, hmmm?

Which Trump and W. in 2000 FAILED to get. What's your point? Someone else was less hated than both of them, according to the people. If you can't handle that fact, then support less hateful candidates and less hateful policies. There are repercussions otherwise. Are you stupid? That's not Hillary or Bill's fault. Jesus.
Ironclad's potential boycotting of the blog will really leave a mark. I mean, it would if anyone ever noticed that the quiet weirdo was ever here.
The Squeamish Fascist is ignorant on incredibly btroad range of subjects.
The definition of the word "state" is only one of them.
John Henry
PPPT knows all that, yet he chooses to...
CHeck it out, everybody. A mind blinded likely autistic trying to mind-read me. It doesn't get any stupider than that, but we're talking about people who run cover/interference for Trump, after all.
Whoever this "Squeamish Fascist" is, it would be nice if bald fuckhead johnhenry100 pointed him out. Cause I don't see anyone going by that name on this blog. Let alone anyone going by that name who has used the word "state."
Perhaps his tinfoil hat needs to be adjusted for the bald-headed electrode contact variety.
Pee-Pee, Rather than acknowledge you are wrong about your claim that Republicans are stingy, you are changing your story to claim that Democrats stinginess with their own money and generosity with the money of others is better policy.
Cacimbo Cacimbo demonstrates the typical Republican disability for keeping two thoughts in their head at the same time. Republicans are stingy (they get the government to mistreat others in other ways, as well), AND they want less effective social policies. I guess these are two defects instead of just one, then. Thanks, Cacimbo! Your party is even more flawed than I realized.
This is just true though. Study after study shows the left is way more willing to end relationships and friendships over politics.
Of course, if you want the Constitution changed to make the national popular vote winner president you can propose an amendment to do so. Two-thirds of each chamber and three-quarters of state legislatures. Have at it.
Republicans routinely give more time and money to charity. That's the opposite of stingy.
Either that Greg, or else we could just keep allowing Republicans to push through their unpopular campaigns and policies while assuming their control of offices make them popular, until they crash and burn on their mistaken belief in their bloated legitimacy.
This story is fake news. Leftists are the most tolerant people alive.
Just as long as you agree with them.
Republicans routinely give more time and money to charity. That's the opposite of stingy.
You mean to churches? For gay conversion therapy?
Yep. Republicans love getting involved with things that directly affect them. And then if it's just any other American, they turn their backs.
Kind of like when they wanted all the gays to die of AIDS and avoided mentioning or doing a thing about it. Until Reagan's friend Rock Hudson died.
Trump is doing the same thing nowadays with the funding, as well. Ironic, given the way his gay crazy lawyer friend Roy Cohn taught him everything he knew before he died of AIDS as well.
Republicans just like to feel good about how they give. But they're still assholes. They're generous in the wrong ways, for the wrong reasons. And less effective - if benchmarking the effectiveness of their generosity is any aim. Which to them it clearly isn't.
Not only does Mueller not have a clear target, Comey under oath couldn't articulate who, what, when or why the investigation started.
Since they've been Constitutionally elected, you'll just have to wait until the next election to have the American people turn them out. Too bad if you're impatient.
@ Henry - "You are allowed to read more than the subheads"
Which I did, please state which story is about hiding being a Democrat?
@Pee-Pee - The opposite is true. It is Democrat social policies that destroyed black families and have created the growing homeless problem in CA. But hey, leftists never let reality get in the way of their far left religion.
Democrats were the ones doing redlining? Interesting.
Or it would be interesting, if it were true.
Democrats are the ones trying to end the voting rights act? Interesting.
Or it would be interesting, if it were true.
Democrats are the ones trying to prevent family and medical leave? Interesting.
Or it would be interesting, if it were true.
Never let reality get in the way of your right-wing religion of getting government to control family life. Over 50% of American marriages regardless of race end in divorce. But I guess that's only a problem for you as a white person (or someone who thinks only their interests matter) when you do all you can to justify every policy that's kept blacks from building wealth.
Democrats are the ones trying to keep blacks in jail for non-violent drug offenses or evading the marijuana prohibition?
Democrats are the ones trying to keep crack cocaine penalties way higher than for powder?
I could go on. But Cacimbo is too busy talking up the "family values" bullshit of his right-wing party.
Have a Trump sticker your vehicle in a left wing city like San Francisco, Seattle or Olympia.
Then, have a Bernie or Hillary sticker on your vehicle in some red neck conservative area.
Let me know what happens.
The left buy into every BS cliche' about the right.
I went to church today. I am certain gay conversion therapy was not a topic. Not today, or any day. Ever.
The biggest problem with the left is they fail to see their own corruption excusing, and they project all of life's dissatisfaction and failure onto the wrong people.
Bonus - the left are generally cheap and arrogant and want to deny anyone who disagree's with their cult, access to free speech. Hillary is their queen. Strozk is someone they look up to. That level of above the law arrogance.
The truth is when one denies the Truth of God, he will deny you, until such time that you admit your error.
The Squeamish Fascist would be the one who responds, virtually every time, to the phrase.
I don't know why you pretend to object. You've told us you are squeamish ("toothless" as you called it). You've told us many times that you are a fascist. You use the euphemism "progressive" but admit that there is no difference. I just call a spade a spade.
And, like a whipped puppy you always come when called.
So just to be clear, when I say Squeamish Fascist, I am referring to the persona Ritmo, Toothless Revolutionary, pppt and other names you hide under.
John Henry
God loves us as long as we do what the men who control the Church say. Step out of line and it's inferno gosh damnation. Truer love was never so jealous Petty and cruel.

I think the Left has retired that award. The Inquisition never ran up a death toll like the Communists have.
The left buy into every BS cliche' about the right.
I went to church today. I am certain gay conversion therapy was not a topic. Not today, or any day. Ever.
Here's a true cliche about the right. They tend to believe that personal anecdotes substitute for facts. Hence April's statement above about how her personal church experience is every other right-winger's.
The biggest problem with the left is they fail to see their own corruption excusing, and they project all of life's dissatisfaction and failure onto the wrong people.
Lol. Really? Ok. Once you tell us what Trump's hiding in his tax return then get back to us. His is the most corrupt administration in history. Most of us didn't want or need the Clintons and the progressive House wave puts more of the corporatists on the run. But Trump is an even sicker version of the very swamp he said he'd drain. More billionaires in his cabinet than any other. A tax cut written by, of, and for the 130 richest hedge fund traders. Raising the deficit in a supposedly good economy rather than paying it down. More polluter giveaways than any other. And on and on and on.
Bonus - the left are generally cheap and arrogant and want to deny anyone who disagree's with their cult, access to free speech. Hillary is their queen. Strozk is someone they look up to. That level of above the law arrogance.
Hillary grew up a Republican and called herself a moderate and is about as conservative a Democrat as there is. Her DOMA/NAFTA/DADT/Glass-Steagall repeal/crime bill/welfare reform husband's administration was a pretty conservative grab-bag of policies. The actual "left" didn't and doesn't want her or any of this. And with their sweep of the House, their control of the party increases. I keep telling you all this; you keep not listening. It's like you're stupid or something. Or just have Hillary Derangement Syndrome so bad that you think she's as difficult for the left to control as Trump is for the right to control. But she's not. You're projecting.
Only a moron (who posts videos of himself with a hat to "prove" he's not bald) would believe that "toothless" is a synonym for squeamish.
Nice whiny voice, too. Did you get reimbursed for your testicle removal surgery?
I don't know...
...anything.
But you do like to bitchily interject yourself into any comment I post that has nothing to do with your fat old irrelevant ass. Talk about cumming when not even called! Just because I appear!
I think that shows I'm winning.
"The Year in Illustration 2018."
The animated illustrations accompanying the article are: a) crappy illustrations and b) really annoying.
This is pretty true for me living in NorCal since the early 90's. God help you if you voice a different opinion. You will be out of a job or ostracized pronto. But on the plus side you get to hear amazing things that liberals actually believe without goading them. Like they can't make the connection between having no borders and why their brother in law's car got totalled by an illegal immigrant driving drunk for the 5th time. Liberals are pretty open minded provided you agree with them 100%.
Here in Yuma County about 2/3 of the counted [by census] population is Hispanic. There are thousands more not counted which probably accounts for the fact that over 90% of our felons have Hispanic names. And Spanish is the predominant language. Most legal immigrants here do not want open borders.

Is Bitchmo still whining about it being suggested that he drink bleach, that is somehow a threat?
Here is another non-threat for you, Bitchmo. No one would miss you if you slit your wrists, in fact your family would probably be relieved to no longer have to deal with the annoyance and shame. Remember, down the road, not across the street.
President-Pant-Load: whom is ritmo? anti-de-sitter-space or PPPT? Asking for a cat lady.
Howard, you can tell your whore of a mother the cat lady that PPPT is one of the many monikers of Bitchmo. Also, that she should have gotten spayed before squatting over and dumping out that disappointing retard of a child, that she named Howard.
Wow Presidouche Mommy-gina. Someone must have taken a massive dump in your mouth to have made it worthy of being washed out with that much soap. You blow your father with that mouth? LOL!
I mean, that would explain your strange approach to family relations now, wouldn't it? LOL!!!
So many cucks, so easily triggered
Politics is something less than 5 percent of what's important in life. Those who make it more than that are filling some deficiency.
Well, the half of the comments that were not the usual blather from P3T were decent, except when responding to the worthless wonder.
Earnest Prole,
Democrats hate the normals with the fury that dare not speak its name.
They will do what has been done everywhere they have gained power.
Slowly at first, and then all at once.
So while it would be true that politics is overheated and treated as too important, I believe you underestimate the costs of not meeting the Leftist Collectivists' passion with equal measure. We might not want to care about it, but it cares deeply about us.

Pee Pee Tapes, you are of course entitled to your opinions, which you deliver by the manure bushel full. But you are not entitled to your facts. Those Deplorable Republicans and church goers in flyover country are not "stingy" people. The level of charitable giving in Republican or Middle American communities far exceeds the level of charitable giving in Democrat or "progressive" communities. You can look it up. But you won't--rather shoot off your pee pee tweets.
