Sandbox – 3dec19

[From the last Sandbox I will repeat my 920am invitation.  'Paul, you guys continue going after the low-hanging fruit on Trump. Why don't you instead take on something more meaningful to Americans? – your assertions that tax rates don't affect economic behavior, or 'border walls don't work', or more regulations encourage commerce and entrepreneurial activity, or capitalism has created all the world's ills, or bigger government taking on a bigger share of the economy is better, or people are indifferent to living among others more like themselves, or … .  There are so many things you guys believe in that you should really attempt to substantiate instead of displaying your ongoing spasms of TDS.' gjr]

    “the Democrats’ case for impeachment is somewhere between weak and non-existent.” Do you seriously think they would go forward with this and risk total embarrassment if they had next to nothing on trumpler? With the facts and testimony, being as they are, Trumpler can only argue that his actions are somehow legal not that they never happened. The real circus, if it gets that far, will be how the Senate majority tries to hide it’s blatant disregard of the fact and lets trumpler off the hook. In the meantime have some more Kool-aid.

    RobertC 251pm – They do have less than next to nothing on Trump, and given my repeated description of today’s electorate (see also ‘Democrat Public Education – the gift that keeps taking’), I most certainly do have such serious thoughts. And never fear Mr Cross, the risk of “total embarrassment” from pursuing this course ranges between negligible and nil.

    I was elected twice to run the NCRCC in the years 1995-98. I reorganized it to implement Lincoln’s organizational recommendations for elections. I found out that was as easy as herding cats. Then when I and a fellow NCRCC member bought the first computer and started an online prescence we found out we were the second ones in the State to do so. After SF’s Committee. They and I went to the conventions to spread the word of the value of these computers and organizational endeavors. We were met by County Chairman who were as enthusiastic as we were. But guess what? The mucky mucks at the SAtate level were uninterested. Jim Brulte and Pete Wilson and the big boys from LA controlled it all. I personally blame them for not listening to we Chairman who were at the local and precinct levels. So it was a self-inflicted wound to start the party dying. Brulte just retired after watching us go from control to ZIP in his tenure. What a lousy record.
    The only way back will be overreach by the democrats and people paying attention to thier pockbooks.

    Well, it looks like we’ve identified the road to Republican Resurgence – the inevitable Democrat screw-up, and not anything that Republicans will necessarily be able to contribute proactively. While I agree with the possibility and even strong likelihood of such a terminal screw-up, I’m still not sanguine that the event will give rise to the Republican Resurgence; other possible eventualities are IMHO possible that don’t involve Republicans. The future may well have more choices than just the two of our political past.

    re the hope that Dems in Cali screw up the state so badly that the voters will turn to some other party – ROTFLOL!!!
    The Dems have already done that years ago. And what do the voters do? Vote in more Dems.
    California’s demographics are only hewing ever more leftward. The Dems answer to their own incompetence has always been to claim that “next time we’ll do it right”. Usually by promising ever more freebies and putting the screws to whatever conservatives are left in the state. This sets up a vicious downward spiral of driving out even more conservatives with illegals and non-producers pouring in.
    California’s vaunted economy is now largely tech and outrageous land values. Tech can move out or just fold quicker than anyone wants to admit and land values have collapsed twice already in my lifetime.
    There is of course, a lot of inertia given the land size and population.
    And due to its out-sized financial hold on the rest of the nation, the feds will be quick to act to try to avoid any collapse. Americans have a lot invested in the two previously mentioned money makers, often whether they are aware of it or not.
    California’s problems are not exclusive to the once-golden state. But if it goes down the tube, Cali will pull down anything around it just as a large sinking ship pulls down those all ready in the water trying to escape.
    I can certainly tell you that if the Rs in Cali go down the road of trying to be Dem-lite, they will find no converts and plenty of desertions. Rs in Cali can stay relevant only by being the opposition, not the me-toos.

    California’s future? I see parallels
    “To some extent, the conflict here is generational: older people don’t want to give an inch on their promised pensions, however unrealistic they may be, while young people will be left holding the bag. But that didn’t stop young leftists from joining in:
    Student unions joined the movement, with two people suffering minor injuries when they were stabbed outside Montpellier University in what appeared to be a clash between an ultra-right group and far-left activists.
    The underlying issue is inexorable fiscal reality:
    Mr Macron wants to end the special pension plans made available to public sector workers, many corporations and professions such as lawyers by rolling them into a single state scheme.
    Lawyers! Why didn’t we think of that?
    His supporters say France can no longer afford the 42 special schemes that enable railway employees, for instance, to retire from the age of 55 and which cost taxpayers about €8 billion a year. However, the president has yet to divulge his plans in detail.
    Similar debates are going on across the developed world. So far, the oldsters seem to be winning, but you can’t fight arithmetic. One way or another, that which is unsustainable won’t be sustained.”

    Yes, Trump’s trade unilateralism represents a major departure from U.S. policy since President Ronald Reagan. Yet, it has mostly survived judicial review. Furthermore, Trump has successfully renegotiated NAFTA — now USMCA — ensuring the long-term viability of North American automobile manufacturing. Ambassador Robert Lighthizer has also concluded negotiations with South Korea and Japan.
    While negotiations with China have stalled, Trump seems to have achieved the impossible: getting the globalist elite to agree that past administrations’ symbolic protocol exchanges with Chinese leaders were a fool’s errand.

    We all know Trump has been messing around in Ukraine over there holding their foreign aid for them to come up saying they are going to investigate you. We all know about that.
    …
    But you, on the other hand, sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas or nothing in order to get access for the president. So you are selling access to the president just like he was.
    “You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true. And no one has ever said that,” Biden said, essentially challenging the man to a push-up contest and, at one point, seemingly calling him “fat.”
    Joe Biden’s tense exchange with a voter in Iowa who accuses him of selling access to the White House with his son in Ukraine and being too old for the presidency
    The exchange continued:
    The voter added, “I see it on the TV.”
    Biden said, “You see it on the TV. No, I know you do. And by the way, I’m not sedentary. I get up … Let him go. Let him go. Look, the reason I’m running is because I’ve been around a long time, and I know more than most people know, and I can get things done. That’s why I’m running. You want to check my shape on let’s do push-ups together, let’s run, let’s do whatever you want to do number one. Number two no one has said my son did anything wrong and I did not on any occasion—”
    The voter said, “I didn’t say you were doing anything wrong.”
    Biden said, “You said I set my son up to work at an oil company. Isn’t that want you said? Get your words straight jack.”
    The voter said, “That’s what I hear on MSNBC.”
    Biden said, “You don’t hear that on MSNBC.”
    The voter said, “The hell I do.”
    Biden said, “Look, I’m not going to get in an argument with you.”
    The voter said, “I don’t want to either.”
    Biden said, “Well yeah you do but look, fat, here’s the deal—”
    The voter added, “It looks like you don’t have any more backbone than Trump does.”
    Yet the Proggys show their true colors when they turn on their own.
    “A supporter of Joe Biden (D) on Thursday ganged up on the town hall attendee who highlighted the former vice president’s role in Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine, coming up behind him and telling him to “get out of here.”
    “Why don’t you just get out of here?” a man, believed to be a Biden supporter, said to the attendee who sparred with the presidential hopeful.
    “Stick it up your ass, fella,” he retorted, adding, “You want to throw me out?”
    “You’re the one who started the uproar, not me,” the Biden supporter said as the heated discussion escalated.
    “It’s a free country. I can say what I want,” he shot back”

    Something that we have discussed many times before; linguistics, aka, Lefty lingo. I recall discussions of the PC culture being used as a club immediately following the 2016 elections was a major reason we have President Trump and not a President Clinton.
    Yet in practice, while “privileged” may also mean “straight and male,” it almost always means “white.” In The Tyranny of Virtue, the academic Robert Boyers observes that these days the label is deployed in a way that “makes it acceptable to target groups or persons not because of what they have done but because of what they are.” That sounds awfully like a workable definition of racism. Thus it’s intriguing that the P-bomb is most frequently dropped by folks of European heritage, either to convey a posturing humility (“I acknowledge my privilege”) or to demonize the Bad White People, the better to distinguish themselves as the Good White People.
    Boyers himself has been shut down in his classroom at Skidmore College by a student accusation that he exercised “privilege,” which he describes as “a noise word intended to distract all of us from the substance of our discussion.” Its invocation is meant to punish its object “by making him into a representative of something he could not possibly defend himself against.” He writes, “Nothing is easier than to wield the charge of privilege and thereby to win instant approval.” In other words, it’s a cheap shot.

Instead, Nadler’s academics gave the public yet another boring reminder of why people voted for Trump in the first place. All that can be said for Nadler so far is that like Schiff, he keeps national attention away from what Sanders, Warren, and Biden are saying. And that at this point is at least something.
    If Nadler had any sense, he would simply fold his tent and stop the damage he is doing to House candidates in 2020.“

    Hate hoaxes……bringing a little drama to the lives of staid and dreary progressives!

    Here’s a rare MSM mention of hate crime hoaxes in the Washington Post: a tiny leftwing church in small Indiana gets “Heil Trump” painted on its wall. The story goes national:

    The graffiti in rural Indiana became a national sensation, part of a string of high-profile hate crime reports in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory. Late-night television host Stephen Colbert featured an image of one of the tagged walls during a monologue. The church’s priest, the Rev. Kelsey Hutto, appeared on CNN to champion the values of St. David’s, an island of liberalism in conservative Brown County.

    But the malefactor turns out to be the church’s gay organist * who was mad at his Trump-voting mom. The article concludes with a long section about how his left wing church forgave him for libeling his Trump-supporting neighbors.

    Honestly I cannot understand why you allow these “fake news” and utterly biased stories to be printed without question. Both say Trump pressured the Ukraine and its President to investigate Joe Biden. Patently false, yet you don’t correct the obvious lie. And not a word that all these democrats have called for impeachment 10 hours after Trump was inaugurated in 2017. And that not one (except Sondland) are a fact witness and he confirms Trump’s p[osition. All hearsay and opinion to impeach a man who received 63 million votes? Why do you persist in using the biased AP for these national stories. Heck the panel this week had four democrats three who hate Trump and one, Turley, who was actually honest. Not a word about the “expert” woman on that panel (Nadler’s) that she would not walk on th sidewalk in front of the Trump Hotel in DC. And all three donated to D’s. Or that she brought Trump’s son Baron into her BS statement. You are shortchanging the readership with this biased fake news. Please use other sources that are fair.
    Here is reference in the call on Biden, if you read it any way other than stated ten you are propelling fake news.
    “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.”
    Looks like a statement of fact doesn’t it? Of course because Biden did exactly that on video. Yet you never say that at all.
    Here is the link to the transcript. I suggest you read it one more time and if you can say the news is reporting this call correctly then you truly are part of the fake news purveyors

    7:59 am. Biden speaks? I see your Biden and raise you one Pete Buttigieg.
    BLACKS FOR BUTTIGIEG EVENT DISRUPTED BY WHITE “BLACK LIVES MATTER” PROTESTER
    “The altercation in South Bend is more evidence that African-American Democrats are less radical than the left half (or so) of the Democratic party as a whole. Mainstream African-American Dems like the ones in South Bend would rather light a few candles than curse the darkness. Their left-wing adversaries curse both the darkness and the candle lighters.
    It’s true that Buttigieg has virtually no support among black Democrats nationwide. However, it’s also true that the favorite of black Dems, Joe Biden, is less radical than Buttigieg.
    Bernie Sanders does not enjoy much black support. If the charge sticks that “Bernie bros” were behind the shameful disruption of the Buttigieg event, including the assault on a black community leader, Sanders might enjoy even less black support.“

    I just love the black woman trying to beat the protestor with her cane. Oh my.

    Quotes
    Insight: “The less government we have the better — the fewer laws and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal government is the influence of private character, the growth of the individual.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
    Endorsements: “The world is broken. Our politics are broken. The country faces extraordinary challenges. And I believe very deeply that Joe Biden’s character, his ability to persevere, his decency and the experiences that he brings to the table are critical to the moment. The world has to be put back together, the world that Donald Trump has smashed apart.” —John Kerry
    The BIG Lie: “Abortion is a constitutional right — not a privilege for those who can afford it.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
    Non compos mentis I: “A president can be impeached more than once. So, we can do this: We can move forward with what we have on the table currently, we can take this before the Senate, and we can still investigate other issues. And when the president has committed additional offenses — and my suspicion is that he will — we can take those before the Senate.” —Rep. Al Green
    Non compos mentis II: “There is no limit on the number of times the Senate can vote to convict or not a president, no limit to the number of times the House can vote to impeach or not a president. So, my belief is that [Nancy Pelosi] will probably say we’re going to move forward with what we have now, but we’re not going to end investigations and that there may be possible opportunities to do other things at a later time.” —Al Green
    And last… “Unemployment under GOP drops to 3.5% in election year, which means there’s only one thing to do: IMPEACH.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
    ———-
    Hmmm. Yep John Kerry is doing what any father would do. With his step son running a company with Hunter and all that China, China, China cash and rides on AF-2, you better do everything in your power to see Trump does not win again? Who was Secretary of State when Russia Russia Russia Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine was going down?

    Its the economy stupid –
    The Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics says the economy added a whopping 266,000 jobs in November; and for the sixth month in a row, a record number of Americans were counted as employed.
    158,593,000 Americans were working in November, the 24th record of Trump’s presidency.
    The unemployment rate dropped a tenth of a point to 3.5 percent, a 50 year low.

    Gotta love John Kerry and his Bidenlove. Maybe it’s just some sort of kink he has for grooming leg hair and the ketchup money is running out.
    Your Buttgieg (Buttigeg? Butigieg?) vidya was some good old-fashioned babushka cane protestin’, we need more of that. I did find some folks yelling at E. Warren, but it wasn’t as charming.
    This should be an extra special cycle as the candidates are in a race to promise absolutely the most free shit, and apologize the most, to a crowd who is never satisfied. The early stages are always fun as the Warrens ‘n Bidens ‘n Sanders are selling their goods in the small town midwest.
    The problem is that they don’t know the territory.
    ……
    Ya can talk, ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk
    Ya can bicker, bicker, bicker, ya can talk, ya can talk
    Ya can talk, talk, talk, talk, bicker, bicker, bicker
    Ya can talk all ya want but is different than it was
    ..
    No it ain’t, no it ain’t, but you gotta know the territory
    …….
    Problem is that the Democrats lack a bang beat, bell ringing, big haul, great go, neck-or-nothing, rip roarin’, every time a bull’s eye salesman

    And they wonder why they are in the situation they are –
    San Francisco’s 24-hour public toilets cost the city nearly $30 per flush. Officials want to add more.

    The Backlash is growing……it’s comin’, by gum.
    Famed Host Jeremy Clarkson Unloads On Greta Thunberg: ‘Mad,’ ‘Dangerous,’ ‘Go Back To School And Shut Up’
    “……What do you want me to do now? Get on my carbon fiber yacht and go and shout at Donald Trump?”
    “When further asked about Thunberg, Clarkson responded: “She’s a stupid idiot.”
    “I think she’s a weird Swede with a bad temper. Nothing will be achieved by sailing across the ocean in a diesel-powered yacht, and then lying about the diesel engine,” Clarkson continued. “And did you see she went to Chile for the climate conference which was then moved to Madrid? I literally s**t myself laughing. She’s an idiot because scientists will solve this, and nobody is going to solve it by running around and going on strike and not going to school, because then you’re not in your science lessons, so she’s a fool.”
