The snobby effete of Nevada City (their alter egos included) still can’t understand why Trump won……
“Chip Wilder” is right (REVEREND!!! ….Obligatory Blazing Saddles reference))! right! The real America is syringe and feces littered streets, lines of tents as far as the eye can see! Democrat machine politics and endless graft. Assless chaps and Drag Queen Story Hour! Failing schools at 20K a year per Slack jawed, third generation junkies and welfare trolls busily crapping out the next generation!
…..and away from it all….on the streets of “Quaintytown USA” (Thanks Bill!) a veritable army of progressive enablers feeling oh so good about themselves for blessing it and allowing it all to happen!

If only….if only…Tom Perez had waited a few hours, he could have elaborated on the Iowa fiasco.

You’ll see some of the changes relating to caucuses on display this week in Iowa.”

I guess that Mr. Chad also can’t see the value of forcing people to do retail politics, instead desiring a pure world of massive media buys pushing jack-o-lantern candidate heads on telescreens into peoples’ living rooms.
I did think of a compromise though. Iowa and New Hampshire both vote purple and so aren’t a bad place for a job interview, but it does leave out the POC. Since there’s really only one minority in the US, I’d suggest adding DC to the list of early events.
Next thing you’d know, he’d complain about the word ‘caucus’. C’est la guerre.

Iowa: Quite typical of our progressives. Nobody loses and everybody declares themselves a winner.
If everybody lost in some sense, tentatively speaking, maybe Bernie Sanders lost least and Joe Biden lost most. Anyone who did as well as he or she claims to have done — Pete Buttigieg or Elizabeth Warren — is somewhere on the spectrum as well. Then again, maybe Mike Bloomberg won outright by avoiding Iowa altogether.
For our Connoisseurs of schadenfreude:

IMPEACH THIS: TRUMP SURGING AFTER WINNING IOWA DEM CAUCUS
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/02/impeach-this-trump-surging-after-winning-iowa-dem-caucus.php
Well, all I can say at this point are two things:
A). Judging by our local sock puppets (and the nationwide outbreak of TDS), the left does not take delayed gratification very well.
B) At first I was puzzled by the delay in the Senate’s vote until 4:00 pm Wednesday. But Trump was just fine with it. Odd. Then it made sense. Trump said the SOTUS speech tonight and acquittal tomorrow would be “a one-two punch.”
Onward to Trump sucking all the air out of the House Nancy Built, the chosen venue of tonight’s speech. Trump pro when he enters enemy terroritory.

Did like Ilhan Omar’s tweet last night: “Democracy dies in darkness.” Ouch.
Quotes
Insight: “Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.” —Charley Reese (1937-2013)
For the record I: “The party that wants to take over your healthcare and economy could not even kick off their presidential election season with competence. Perhaps whoever planned their impeachment charade planned the caucuses. What a waste of time.” —Erick Erickson
For the record II: “The party that thinks the Russians are stealing elections did a hell of a job running their election last night. Who needs the Russians when you have Team Clinton hacks building apps.” —Erick Erickson
Observations: “It’s completely unsurprising that the party that invented the collusion hoax, the whistleblower hoax, and the hoax impeachment ‘crimes,’ invented an election app that crashed on the day of the election.” —Dan Bongino
Belly laugh: “Have we tried unplugging Iowa and plugging it back in?” —Casey Mattox
Alpha jackass: “Ask yourself this simple question: Is the world a better place or a worse place with Rush Limbaugh in it?” —religious scholar Reza Aslan on Rush’s announcement of advanced lung cancer
Braying jackass: “I do not ask you to convict him because truth or right or decency matters nothing to him, but because we have proven our case and it matters to you. … You are decent. He is not who you are.” —Rep. Adam Schiff
Grand delusions: “If abuse of power is not impeachable … then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war. Because those things are not necessarily criminal, this argument would allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of power.” —Adam Schiff
And last… “Donald Trump became the first president to win both the Democrat and Republican caucus.” —Charlie Kirk

Shadow, Inc’s CEO Gerard Niemira worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, as did three other high-ranking company officers. Niemira’s LinkedIn profile shows that he worked for Hillary for America for a little more than a year in various capacities, including product director.
Niemira subsequently worked for ACRONYM before joining Shadow in 2019.
Shadow’s product manager Ahna Rao, chief technology officer Krista Davis, and chief operating officer James Hickey also worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Robby Mook distanced himself from the app
Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager, Robby Mook, has denied involvement in developing the software, saying on Twitter that he didn’t “have anything to do with building the Iowa caucus app.”

Grooming Gangs and Indifferent Police: What Have We Learned After Rotherham?
“Similarly, Cockbain and Tufail write as if Andrew Norfolk and the Times—the journalist and newspaper that did the most to expose the various scandals—invented the “Asian grooming gang” phenomenon out of whole cloth. In fact, all the evidence suggests they were reporting on a real trend. In 2013, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) suggested that 75 percent of the offenders connected with “Group Offending Targeting Victim Vulnerability” were “Asian.” A 2018 study by Dr Kish Bhatti-Sinclair of the University of Chichester and Professor Charles Sutcliffe of the University of Reading argued that 83 percent of defendants in cases of “Group Localised Child Sexual Exploitation” were of Muslim origin.”

New ICIG Michael Atkinson is under the suspicious glaze right now, one of the six involved that Senator Paul was referencing with his hands.. The six with ties to the NSA, Brennan, each other, ties to that law firm for whistleblowers. A tight circle. Odd the whistleblower’s buddy and co-worker was hired by Schiff two days before the Ukrainian call dropped. And there is always the another NSA staffer/friend of the Whistleblower got offered a Schiff job.
Now, every time you hear someone (like me) claim the House Dems called 17 witnesses…..just stop right there. There was another witness called, gave his deposition in a secure setting and was questioned by the D and a R select Congressmen.
The R old congressman asked the witness some questions. If you go to the secure room to read the testimony, all the questions asked are there. You can’t see any of the answers the R asked cause it’s all been redacted by Schiff or locked down under super dude super classified rating.
That witness (#18) that the Dems want us to forget about and most certainly never speak his name again is one Michael Atkinson. Interesting background.
