It’s a great day for UK. My masters Econ thesis is coming to fruition. I need to go back to my alma mater and punch a leftist/globalist, wanna-be elitist prof in the mouth. He busted my balls over this.
The shit-heads at the BBC think that Trump will be too busy to get a trade deal done until after the election. HAHAHAAAA!!! They don’t know him very well.
and Her Majesty has signed….they’re out next Friday. I can’t wait to see the deals Trump makes w/them
In the meantime, Schiff is threatening to imprison everybody. About a thrid of the Senate just walks out on this crap
‘It doesn’t hurt that the morning starts out every day with the sergeant-in-arms warning you that if you don’t [attend], you will be in prison,’ Schiff said

Schiffty’s performing. Yesterday, apparently at a press conference, he elbowed NoNads out of the way and informed him “I’LL answer the questions.”
Watching what happens when this self-imported narcissist gets the crap kicked out of him and his deceptions, as well as the other jerks from the House, is going to be fun. Of course, the MSM will give him cover, and the ignorant Twitter Turds, but no one’s watching them anyway.

Might just be my uneducated takeaway from this but I wonder if Schifty is being setup to be the scapegoat for the dems failure to “get the orange man”. I’ve been hearing my local dems saying that Schifty is to blame for “jumping the gun” and that he needs to pay for “screwing up the case and wasting time”.
I think he’s their plan to let NoNads, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of the clowns get out scott free. Let him hang and the rest can claim innocence. That way the ones up for reelection can claim they were strung along by “bad information” from Schiftys office.
Just the theory I put together based on what I’m hearing from dissatisfied lefties.

This would not surprise me. Schiffty has embarrassed himself completely in his efforts to get President Trump. First, he claimed there was incontrovertible evidence of Russian collusion. There was none. There is that embarrassing audiotape of him being punked by comedians with pictures of “nay-kid Trump.” But when he told Nancy he had him cold on that Ukraine call with the weaselblower and then the transcript revealed he was full of crap, Nancy was now stuck. His “auditions” for witnesses in the SCIF were an embarrassment, as was his running of the hearings.
The biggest embarrassment to this narcissic asshat, though, HAD to be that the smartest Jeopardy players in history didn’t know who he was.
@ right_wing2:
I don’t think the determination has been made yet whether witnesses are to be called. That vote will come at the end of the presentation by the President’s team. The problem for Schiffty is that the witnesses HE wants to call – Bolton (even though they have NO idea what he will say) and the other Presidential advisors are STILL able to be withheld under the umbrella of Executive Privilege. The witnesses the GOP wants to call – Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the weaselblower, and even Schiffty himself if it comes to that – enjoy no such privilege.

Everybody SHOULD know who Adam Schiff, NoNads, et. al. are and what they’ve done. But nobody does. And believe me, they are COUNTING on it. At the ballot box.
Speaking of the ballot box, a woman called into Rush yesterday and went thru how every close race in California miraculously went for the Dems last time, after people kept finding ‘provisional’ ballots in the trunks of their cars.
What’s going on in this trial is just the beginning, they won’t stop until they’re swinging from ropes.
Did ANYBODY notice that the FISC declared at least 2 of the warrants on Carter Page invalid? Got a lot of media attention, didn’t it?
pfft.
eaglesoars wrote:
I haven’t listened to Rush’s podcast yet – I usually do that in the a.m. the day after. She’s wrong about the “finding boxes of ballots in trunks.” California Democrats don’t have to do that anymore. They passed a law allowing ballot harvesting, which is essentially an open door to voter fraud. The candidates lost when said harvested ballots were counted AFTER the election. And surprisingly, ALL close races went to the Democrats when the Republicans had been declared the winner.
It’s easy to harvest enough ballots when you know how many you need.
Did anybody notice when Adam Schiff said the 2020 election can’t be trusted to the ballot box? Oh, it was just hyperbole, right?
And speaking of Brexit, Boris is about to ink a kick-ass trade deal with Japan. The EU is fuming.
@ eaglesoars:
Of course, Schiffty’s old Tweet about the FISA warrants being “unassailable, legal and valid” back in 2018 was brought out with a “didn’t age well.”
The question is, if the warrants were invalid, the case can be made that ANY prosecutions that had as their basis information from those warrants should be thrown out. Didn’t FLYNN’s prosecution stem from those FISA warrants.
Oh, and every individual involved with those illegal warrants should be disbarred. For perjury.

Looks like ABC’s George Snuffalaphagus doesn’t like hearing what Trump’s lawyer has to say:
I think it was last week or week before last when someone posted on twitter (don’t remember his name, but he’s a Dem operative) that Trump associates were involved on an attempted hit on Yovanovitch? I said then that that was the first drip of what would become a charge of conspiracy to commit murder against Trump. Nothing seemed to happen after that, it all went quiet.
Until now.
‘Get rid of her! Do it!’ Feds have tape of Donald Trump ‘telling aides to fire Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’ at meeting with Rudy sidekicks Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman – who RECORDED the president
This is being portrayed in the article as ‘firing her’, but if you read thru it, the voice ascribed to Trump never says that. The voice says ‘get rid of her’ and ‘take her out’.
So I’m going with what the Dem operative said on twitter – a conspiracy to commit murder.

Developments in Flynn case.
Sullivan is considering an evidentiary hearing on whether he should accept Flynn’s plea withdrawal
https://twitter.com/Techno_Fog/status/1220743152371478531/photo/1
Sullivan wants
1. Make a “legally cognizable defense” to the charges against him
This will need to be an *affirmative* defense of being *innocent* (not just not guilty), that is legally sound, as well as factually accurate. Flynn has never done this – yet – to the lying to FBI charge.
2. Show either “an error in the taking of his plea” or some “more substantial” reason he failed to press his case rather than plead guilty
3. If 1 & 2 are both shown, the Court will ALSO need to be satisfied that the Government would not be “substantially prejudiced” by the “delay in going to trial”
There’s more, you can start reading here

I’m at a loss trying to figure out what is going on here. These people are lying, demonstrably so, yet they are doing it with such abandon and determination that it really brings me up short.
When people lie, they usually expect to be believed and/or persuasive. That cannot be the case here because everything they say is provably false and therefore cannot be persuasive. Yes, I’m excluding the part of the population that ‘believes’ them anyway, because the belief functions more as a satisfied need than as the result of critical thinking. These are the hive. They have a role, but they are not the primary target. Today’s useful idiots are tomorrow’s bovine cannon fodder.
If the lies aren’t intended to be believed and or persuasive, what purpose do they serve?
The only thing I can think of, right now anyway, is scaffolding. These people are in the process of constructing an alternate reality.
What was the NYT’s 1619 project? That didn’t just fade into memory, you know, it’s becoming part of the curriculum in schools. That it’s been completely debunked is irrelevant. The scaffolding is in place. Zinn has been there for decades.
Lenin did it in 6 yrs. And he used the same tactics
When Mensheviks objected to Lenin’s personal attacks, he replied frankly that his purpose was not to convince but to destroy his opponent. In work after work, Lenin does not offer arguments refuting other Social Democrats but brands them as “renegades” from Marxism. Marxists who disagreed with his naïve epistemology were “philosophic scum.” Object to his brutality and your arguments are “moralizing vomit.” You can see traces of this approach in the advice of Saul Alinsky—who cites Lenin—to “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it.”
.
.
both Lenin and Plekhanov, the first Russian Marxist, insisted that there was no need to understand opposing views before denouncing them, since the very fact that they were opposing views proved them wrong—and what was wrong served the enemy and so was criminal.

The demonstration in Richmond this past Monday had a lot of people HEAVING sighs of relief and patting each other on the back for the absence of any misbehavior and some great speeches, not to mention the really impressive turnout.
Would you like to know how many of the laws being objected to were advanced by the gov’t in Richmond by the end of the week?
At least 5 by my count.

Let’s think about that. Is the premise correct? Perhaps that premise is what’s making us default to those Marquis of Queensbury rules – because the only alternative we can imagine is horrible.
What if the problem is a failure of our imagination? What if there IS another approach? We may have set ourselves up with a false choice.

So…I’ve been doing a bit more thinking about how we need to change the way we play the game. Doing a bit more reading thru a different prism of the old reliable (for me), even going back thru a bit of Hannah Arendt. She gets short shrift these days, but she’s been a lodestar for me for reasons I don’t entirely understand. The Origins of Totalitarianism is the most turgid book I’ve never completely grasped, but there are diamonds there, mixed up in her German gravel.
And keeping in mind this: Politics is downstream from culture.
One of the cultural phenomena that Arendt noted was the casting out of the Jews from the protection of the law. They were outside the law. Yes, it was a political/legal step, but not until the culture permitted it. The Nazis formalized in law what we now call ‘cancel culture’.
To be clear, I’m not talking about ‘othering’. That’s a different, altho related, issue.
I’m talking about driving people out of their professions, driving them to suicide (yes, it’s happened), etc.
Did you know in Connecticutt, the Dems are setting up a special police force for ‘hate speech’ and related behaviors. It’s like the UK without the charming accents.
So, I dunno. when I think about how or what or where to start fighting, or fight more effectively, maybe the cancel culture may be a place to start.

In April 2017, a group of students at Dartmouth College met with Dr David Bucci to complain about sexual harassment in the department of psychological and brain sciences that he chaired. The allegations didn’t sound particularly grave — none of the students complained of rape, for instance — but Dr Bucci flagged it up with the Title IX office even so. It was that office’s responsibility to follow up sexual harassment complaints and it duly did, suspending three professors and mounting several investigations.
.
.
Not surprisingly, Dr Bucci’s mental health began to deteriorate and, last year, he was hospitalized for depression and treated with electroconvulsive therapy. Dartmouth’s lawyers strongly rebutted all the allegations against him and the faculty dean sent an email to the department expressing her complete confidence in him, but it did little to stop the workplace mobbing. When it looked as though Dartmouth was intending to settle, Bucci urged the college to extract a statement from the plaintiffs proclaiming his innocence. But when the settlement came — awarding the women $14.4 million — there was no such clarification. The following month, in October 2019, David Bucci took his own life.
