    [quote quote=4225]also, one had to laugh this week at the re emergence of fauci. He had a great quote about how much freer he feels to say what he needs to say… …and then proceeded to say nothing new whatsoever.  His newfound freedom of speech was merely red meat for the dem base. Didn’t change a thing. Effing bureaucrat.[/quote]

    At that level, every bureaucrat is a politician.

    I think foreign-born immigrants are between five and six times more likely to vote Democrat than Republican:

    Are unauthorized immigrants overwhelmingly Democrats?

    At least it would bring back the lives of all the Union soldiers and all the money spent to eliminate slavery.  Or do white folks get reparations from those losses?

    Just kidding.  I know white folks would never get reparations.  And it’s never reported, somehow, that on a per capita basis, African Americans are ten times as likely to kill a white person as a white person is to kill a black person (FBI’s own statistics).

    At least there is a rock-solid, ultra-popular VP who had all of 844 total votes in the country (no kidding, look it up on the attached link) and finished 16th in the Democratic primaries.  That’s the person who will end up leading the country.

    Carson King gave away $1 million+ to charities, including a children’s hospital in Des Moines.  A piece-of-garbage writer for the Des Moines Register named Aaron Calvin ruined King’s life by exposing two racist tweets that King had forwarded as a mid-teenager.

    My absolute favorite part of the story is that Calvin was fired from the DMR for his own offensive tweets.  See, Calvin’s own statements mocked same-sex marriage, domestic abuse and included a racial slur. Gotta be careful hurling stones in glass houses there, Calvin…

    A couple of thoughts.

    1. First and foremost, Trump was and is dead wrong with respect to referring to the 2020 Presidential election as a stolen election, insofar as a “stolen election” is classically understood.  The Democrats didn’t steal it.  He lost it.  And he lost it by repeatedly shooting himself in the foot in virtual every form of communications in every format in every conversation with the media, with opponents, with supporters and with everyone who could be considered “Elite.”
    2. That said, the Democrats very successfully gamed the system, as they’ve been trying to do for decades, as have the Republicans.  The Democrats are just better and more successful at it.
    3.  Trump has NOT done permanent damage to the democracy or the voting system any more than Hillary Clinton did permanent damage when she repeatedly claimed that Trump was an illegitimate president “and he knows it.”  Trump convinced a few thousand idiots to go along with his hallucinations.  He and they deserve to be jailed and Trump’s legal woes will continue at the state and Federal level.
    4. BTW, it still pales in comparison to the summer of violence sponsored by the Democrats and all of their related entities, Big Media, Progressives and the like.  Very, very few Dems criticized it, and quite a few lefties publicly approved (like Cuomo “Where does it say protest has to be peaceful?”  It’s in the First Amendment, dumbass, where it says “the right of the people peaceably to assemble”
    5. At the same time, the perfidy committed by the Democrats surrounding the 2016 election led to all of this, and they will never, ever be called to account for their chicanery.  Ever.
    6. Most importantly, 74 million people held their nose and voted from Trump.  HARRIS/biden won by the skin of their teeth, but they’re acting as if they have a mandate.  Some of the Dem media (but I repeat myself) have noticed that HARRIS/biden didn’t win 155 million to zero, and they’ve paid lip service to it, but there are an awful lot of people who are disenfranchised in this country.
    7. And one last little thing to think about.  Trump would have been re-elected if any of the three had happened (a) No once-in-a-century pandemic (b) anyone other than Biden were running against him  — remember, in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, Kamala Harris got 128 votes and Trump got 1,217 as a write in and (c) Trump wasn’t such a flaming a-hole in public.

    Oh, it gets better.  Much better.  The homeless are classified as 1b, in terms of priority of receiving the coronavirus vaccine.  That means, they are in front of people who have worked diligently their entire careers, avoided laziness and self-destructive behaviors.

    And let’s keep in mind that these folks are permanently outdoors, so are already ‘socially distancing’ so to speak.  They already have lower infection rates:

    Agreed.  Curious to know who will be the successor and what their arguments will be to depose Breed and Boudin.

    As long as Newsom can have dinner at the French Laundry, he doesn’t give two sxxts about forcing an SIP on the rest of us.

    California’s clergy is about to defy him, though, thanks to the recent U. S. Supreme Court decision:

    Don’t know that I would say we have great depth.  We have four guys who can really play.  Zaire is terrific, Davis is solid, Wills is very good.

    As I write this, Stanford is down to UNC by 46-45.  Stanford’s backups haven’t played much, though they’re better free throw shooters than the starters.

    [quote quote=3790]Biden was never vetted by the media. We do not know much about policies he will pursue. If you watched Tucker Carlson last evening, he talked about the views and positions of people so far selected. One wants open borders, one wants to confiscate guns through buybacks, one was instrumental in bringing China into the WTO and wants closer China ties. One thinks flooding the market with immigrants will be desirable even if it creates competition for low wage jobs and lowers wages and drives jobs overseas. Basically, they want to undo many of Trump`s successes, especially in foreign policy by promoting globalization vs. America first and return to the Obama economy. Its what we get for ignorantly electing a ghost, a blank slate, the anti Trump.[/quote]

     

    The good news is that once the blank slate anti Trump ghost passes from the scene (shortly) Kamala Harris will be president and everything will be all better…

    BTW, that same blank slate anti Trump ghost is very publicly asking for the unity that his party 100% refused for the last four years.  Sounds great to me, Joe.  Kiss my @$$, Joe.

    George Carlin:
    “Political Correctness is Fascism pretending to be manners.”

    10 comedians who can’t stand political correctness including Konstantin Kisin: “I was born in the Soviet Union, and this made me feel right at home”, Patrice O’Neal, Bill Burr, Steven Fry, Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K., Jeff Ross, Bill Maher, Jim Norton and my favorite from Ricky Gervais “Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.”

    I don’t know who said this first, but every time I think about snowflakes, I think of this saying:

    “If you met one a$$hole today, well, you met an a$$hole.  If you met five a$$holes today, maybe you’re the a$$hole.”

    John Daly describes the golf habits of Slick Willie Clinton and Donald Trump.  He’s played with both and opines on both.

    Guess which one’s the cheater in John’s eyes?

    Two things I think about:

    1. Other than Biden, no Democrat would have defeated Trump.
    2. The coronavirus has caused a horrible economy and 230k+ deaths, all on Trump’s watch, and the Dems (rightfully) hammered it into the ground.  Without the coronavirus, Trump wins handily, if not a landslide.

    Hopefully the left and the right and Fox News understands that.  Despite the most obnoxious personality in national politics since (probably) Andrew Jackson, Donald Trump was nearly re-elected.  The 70 million who voted for him have an axe to grind, and the Democrats don’t have a mandate.  Hopefully, they understand that fact.

    Oh, and Rashida Tlaib wants you to understand that those 70 million votes are meaningless, and the majority of the 74 million that Biden received are meaningless.  All must bow before the Squabble:
