Of course, "alive" is anathema to lefties thinking about Trump.; 9/15/24, 6:55 PM
Dixcus said...: The Supreme Court's entire email and document database has been leaked to the NYTimes by Democrat insiders. I'd have expected one of our nation's per-eminent Supreme Court reporters to have posted something on that stunning development on the same day they tried yet again to murder Donald Trump.; 9/15/24, 7:04 PM

Well, if history serves, it will be between factions of the Communist Party.

I have a soft spot for Leon Trotsky, but that is because of my enjoyment of George Orwell and "Road to Catalonia". Of course, any moderate Communist will be vilified as a fascist and assassinated.

In that sense, Trump is not a Conservative or Libertarian, by any stretch. He is a moderate Democrat and must be destroyed. The Party must rule.; 9/15/24, 8:19 PM
Dixcus said...: They used to enslave other humans; that's who we're dealing with. There's only one way to govern them. And you know exactly which way that is. It's time we come to grips with that again.; 9/15/24, 8:24 PM

Rory said...: It's not possible. If we can pull out this election, among other things they'll threaten to secede. When that happens, we should encourage it.; 9/15/24, 8:49 PM

I will not do anything evil or malicious”; 9/15/24, 9:09 PM

Maynard said...: George Orwell figured it out as an idealistic young socialist in the 1930's:

All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once fraud is exposed, they rule through force.

That is why they will kill Trump.; 9/15/24, 10:12 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: I saw a Harris-Stolen Valor Walz ad today for the first time, and I am wondering where she is going to get the money for all of the free stuff she is promising when the US is $35 trillion in debt and goes another trillion deeper in debt every three months.

How is she planning to pay for it? Talk about "Know Nothings," nobody knows.

One good thing is that our military, which is the foundation of the value of the dollar, the "bottom turtle" of our financial system will now take a back seat to interest payments on the debt in our annual budget. We can always fix that by lowering interest rates, but then we get hyperinflation. How do we fix hyperinflation? We break the "wage price spiral" by importing millions of workers to compete with American workers for jobs, suppressing wages, while of course the owning classes don't have to share the burden of this war on inflation.

And what of the workers who see that they are getting screwed by this strategy? Call them fascists! Call them losers! Call them racists! If you do this hard enough, you can get many of them to vote against their economic self interest and to vote for Harris!; 9/15/24, 10:50 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: I see that the "tight circle" of anonymous people in Washington have held back from declaring war on Russia for the time being. I thought, silly me, that only Congress could declare war, but it turns out that declarations of war, even with rival nuclear powers who have 6,000 nukes, are the province of a tiny cabal of anonymous bureaucrats who meet in secret

Personally, I don't think that a border dispute over who rules over a bunch of Russian speakers, who have in fact been fighting for a decade, since the coup in Kiev in 2014, to be ruled by Russia is worth even the 1% risk of nuclear war, but apparently the reckless thinking that we saw in Dr Strangelove is still pretty rampant.

Yeah, we will see the response that the Russian aligned militias in Ukraine are "illegal" and that the US declared that there is no civil war and that anybody still fighting over a coup that happened a decade ago is just a "terrorist," but that would be sort of like if England had declared a winner in our civil war before the fighting was done, hint: it wouldn't have carried a lot of weight. The militias held out for eight years before Russia joined the fight, and Crimea defected without a shot being fired, and seems quite happy to be living as part of Russia, just as it had been for all but 19 years of the past couple centuries. None of this is worth a tiny risk of a nuclear war.; 9/15/24, 11:02 PM

Dixcus said...: The man who tried to murder Donald Trump on the golf course is a CIA operative and has been serving in the Ukraine (which is why it was so easy for them to find a photo of him in a military bulletproof vest.); 9/16/24, 3:53 AM
Dixcus said...: Here's Kamala Harris on Ellen fantasizing about murdering Trump:

Dixcus said...: Times of India reporting that Trump's would-be assassin was recently charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

https://www.thetimes.com/world/us-world/article/ryan-routh-republican-trump-shooter-ukraine-suspect-qmtwl5z5k

He's been interviewed by the New York Times and Newsweek about his mercenary activities in the Ukraine. The media definitely knows all about this guy. Strange how quiet they are now about their previous interactions with him.; 9/16/24, 4:07 AM
Humperdink said...: Our local YMCA has announced an increase in their day rate …. a mere 50%. Increased costs they say. I am not worried though, I heard Woke Salad Kammie has a plan.; 9/16/24, 4:39 AM

Tina Trent said...: Michael K: it will all come down to a few states. Unfortunately, Georgia may scotch it for the whole nation. I have toured the state speaking to groups, lobbying, and running for state office here for decades. I know the ground. Here are the issues:

-- Huge demographic swing left, including electorally liberal but personally conservative South Asians in key districts.

--Our governor, and even Secretary of State, have extended an olive branch to Trump. They run the state extremely well. Raffensperger has instituted significant reforms in voting. It remains to Trump to be civil and create a credible ground game here. He's left it to grifters and nutcases, and I speak as a very early and significant supporter of him, though one in the Ann Coulter camp -- that he really failed last time, acknowledging even the massive pushback against him. On crime and immigration, he failed. He better show some new commitment this time: token and frankly suspect black men (Vernon threesome Jones?) may talk a good game, but they aren't going to pull vote for him in meaningful numbers anyway. Conservative and working-class whites, not to mention some blacks and Hispanic citizens and Southeast Asians won't show up if he doesn't change his strategy and focus his ground game.

--Specific to Georgia, the Kochs, who run their NGO empire here and who want open borders, and the stealth or crazy Leftitarian defense lawyers who took over our GOP establishment, have already lost us the Senate and will lose us this election if we don't expose them and kick them to the curb. They convinced a lot of politically naive conservatives (naive only politically, because they spent their lives doing good things like raising families and working hard) to stay home in the last Senate Race: Steve Bannon and Jenny Beth Martin did this. Codependent Liars and grifters. The Kochs use their astroturfing AFP to intimidate and shut down opposition to illegal immigration, legalizing drugs, and cop-hating (local law enforcement). They are the enemy inside the gates.

--Voter fraud? Who cares? I spent 20 years in Atlanta, doing useless bullshit like poll-watching. I don't deny it exists, but a real ground game run by sane people, serious voter registration, get-out-the-vote, and debunking the AFP/Koch/Leftitarian goons talking people into not voting will be ten times more effective.; 9/16/24, 4:44 AM
Dixcus said...: CIA cutout and would-be assassin Ryan Routh seems to have a very large and varied media background, turning up in interviews all over the place, including Ukraine where he most recently ran an op hiring mercenaries in the Harris-backed war against Russia.

Dixcus said...: Ron DeSantis has announced that Florida has launched its own independent investigation of the Trump assassination attempt. This will complicate the ability of the FBI to cover up the CIA's involvement.

Maybe they'll murder DeSantis also. It's what they would do.; 9/16/24, 5:30 AM

rehajm said...: "He's left it to grifters and nutcases" Is there any other kind of conservative in GA? Who are these rational, effective conservatives willing to step up and create an effective ground game for Trump in GA? Anyone? Anyone?; 9/16/24, 7:32 AM
