You wanted his aircraft to crash into my yard killing my two innocent daughters?  Wow, you are really not well on your resolution ;)

I'm assuming he's about wheels up right now given the 90 minute window.  ?

Nope. He congratulated Tennessee because they took out a city he hates, Baltimore. Obviously this meant that Tennessee would lose to Kansas City, which they did. Trump curse is real.

He hates San Francisco and probably doesn’t like Mahomes (too brown) so president shitstain may sit this one out.

I'm not sure where this goes.  Here?  The Republican Party thread?

I spent some time last week listening to bits of right wing radio. Rush had a couple of replacements, but the regular idiots on KLBJ were on the air. 

My friends, they are all in on the impeachment being a persecution bent upon an crucifixion. The appeal is to resentment and hatred with absolutely no allowance that there could be any other reason for the Dems to go after Trump other than their own wickedness. It was disturbing to actually listen to.

I know this is not new. We all assume what I described, yet listening to it refreshed my apprehension about how far these people will go and how little they care about the consequences of their words.

If I were an adherent to the Radio Gods and Trumpism with all the built up hate that would mean, I think I'd be thinking in terms of taking up arms. Throw in a religious fervor where you may have been convinced that Trump is the chosen of God, and how else can you respond to those who oppose His choice?

We may end up with a jihad on our hands. Bullets will likely be pinging all around us on the ledge.

I reveal nothing new in terms of facts, but it's worth it to check in with the deplorables to be reminded of just how extreme their feelings are. If Trump is dumped, I think there will be terrorism. Where it goes from there is anybody's guess, but I have a grimmer image of the future than I did last week.

“The Know Nothing, formally known as the Native American Party and the American Party from 1855 onwards, was a far-right nativist political party and movement in the United States which operated nationwide in the mid-1850s. It was primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, and xenophobic movement, originally starting as a secret society. The Know Nothing movement also briefly emerged as a major political party in the form of the American Party. Adherents to the movement were to simply reply "I know nothing" when asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its common name.[1]

Supporters of the Know Nothing movement believed that an alleged "Romanist" conspiracy was being planned to subvert civil and religious liberty in the United States, and sought to politically organize native-born Protestants in what they described as a defense of their traditional religious and political values. The Know Nothing movement is remembered for this theme because of fears by Protestants that Catholic priests and bishops would control a large bloc of voters. In most places, the ideology and influence of the Know Nothing movement lasted only a year or two before disintegrating due to weak and inexperienced local leaders, a lack of publicly declared national leaders, and a deep split over the issue of slavery. In the South, the party did not emphasize anti-Catholicism as frequently as it did in the North, but it became the main alternative to the dominant Democratic Party.[1]”

Maybe we should rename the GOP.....

Mark Levin is a coward who needs his ass kicked repeatedly. Good God I have heard him. That midget just shouts and yells and tries to speak with some asinine authority. He just sounds like an angry old white man who does not realize the sun has long set on his relevance.

Today the President has no events on his calendar until the late afternoon when he will depart for Switzerland. I've been reading his Farm Bureau speech from Austin yesterday. Some quotes for you all:

I will bold them rather than the quote feature in hopes it will be easier to read...

"We'll never get a deal done with China. I've told everybody, "You got to buy a lot of land, and you've got to get much bigger tractors right now." Because we did a great deal with China -- great for our country."

"We've had a tremendous victory. And from what I understand, those polls are all saying we're way higher than we were in '16. Is that correct? That's right, Dan. Thank you, Lieutenant Governor. My Dan. Great. Thank you very much."

"Look at this: "Farmer Approval of Trump Hits Record, Poll Shows… 83 percent of the farmers and ranchers approve of the President's job performance." 83 percent! But, I want to know, really: Who are the 17 percent?Who are they? Who the hell are the 17 percent? Anybody in here from the 17 percent? Don't raise your hand; it may be dangerous." --intimidation of the group encourages group think.

Speaking about Sid Miller and including the admiration for his hat:

"We made speeches, Sid. Remember? We'd have 25-, 30,000 people standing on line. Can't get in. And I said, "Why am I going to have a hard time with Texas?" And I remember, Sid Miller -- I didn't know Sid. But he was big, and he had the big, beautiful cowboy hat on. I love that hat. I wish we could wear them in Washington or New York because I would be the biggest buyer of that hat. I just don't know if it would play there, but I'll wear them in Texas, I'll tell you. But Sid was sitting there with that hat on, and he looked great."

 

"It's also other countries. But net farm income has gone up by more than $30 billion dollars –- an increase of nearly 50 percent in just three years. Remember that. And the big stuff is yet to come. The big numbers, in my opinion, are yet to come. We are fixing problems and cleaning up messes that others have neglected for decades." ---What big stuff? Cleaning up messes? Oh what a kidder.

"They've treated you very unfairly. They've treated you very foolishly. Frankly, they've treated you stupidly -- stupidly -- to put our great farmers in this position. We are winning for our farmers, and we winning like never before. And don't forget: When I ran, I said, "We're going to do this stuff." ---Now this is slick, victimize them and blame someone else, right out of his crisis playbook.

 

A Sir story:

"And we started giving money back. I went to Sonny Perdue. I said, "Sonny, what did China -- what was the number that China did last year?" He said, "Sir, they bought $16 billion." I said, "Oh, that's good. What did they do the year before?" "Sir, they bought $12 billion worth of product." I said, "Good." So it's $12 billion."

Referencing Canada-America wheat:

They were incredible. I said, "What's the big thing?" "Wheat, sir." "Tell me about it." And they told me about it. I'm a very quick study; I figured it out quickly. I said, "I know nothing about it, but that sounds right to me." So we got it in the contract. The two momentous trade deals we completed last week are just the beginning of a really incredible story. ---He's a quick study? How about that!

 

And things got a little weird when discussing the estate tax:

"And to help you keep your family farm, and keep it in the family, we virtually eliminated the deeply unfair estate tax, or "death tax." We got rid of it for small farms, ranchers, and small businesses.So, if you love your children, you can now leave your farms and your ranches and your small businesses to your children, and you don't have to pay tax. If you love your children, you don't have to pay the estate tax or the death tax. If you do not love your children, you don't really care about that provision.Is there anybody here that does not love their children and does not want to leave their beautiful farm to their children? Anybody here? Come on, you have guts. I think farmers have a lot of guts. Come on. You mean there's not one person that dislikes your children because they're brats -- because they're spoiled rotten brats? Okay, well, that's a pretty good group of people." ---More reassurance/intimidation that you want to stay on his side.

"Wages for the bottom 10 percent are rising faster than for the top 10 percent. And that's okay for the rich people. Let somebody else enjoy life a little bit, right? Does any rich person -- of which we probably have a lot in this room -- any rich person have a problem with that? Please stand up. I don't think we're going to see that person standing. Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded." --and again.

"Our law enforcement -- we are going to protect our law enforcement just like they protect us. When I took office, I issued an order requiring that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated. Instead of two for one, we have now cut more than eight for one. Nobody thought that was possible. As a result, the average American household will save $3,100 dollars a year, just on regulation cuts and sensible regulation." --Fact check on the savings?!  I don't think that's correct...

"We will soon build new roads, bridges, tunnels, highways, railways, and waterways across our land." ---Sooooooon.

Big burly men crying again:

"I'll never forget: At the White House signing, I had probably 30, 35 people behind me -- farmers and homebuilders and others -- people that haven't cried in many years. People that weren't -- some of them were so tough, they never cried. They didn't cry when they were babies. And they were crying."

All in all, Austin received the Gold Standard Package speech. It had just about everything. He did mention Obama several times, but it was a long speech so I trimmed excessively. Quite a few figures relating to the tariffs, etc and given his way with numbers, I left them out.

One of the worst aspects of this presidency is how they've injected their politics into nearly every aspect of life. Took a road trip to Big Bend a few weeks ago, stop for gas in a bum fuck town and see the shrine below to our dear leader. I was playing Call of Duty last night and it was shocking how many of the 4chan incels players on there had "MAGA" on their gamer tags. A few nights ago I was listening to generic sports talk radio and some guy from Galveston called into the radio upset at the host for his harsh criticisms of the Astros. He out the blue started comparing the host to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and how the Astros cheating scandal was a "witch hunt". The host, apparently a down-low MAGA cultist, took a little offense to it but then he also started bashing Pelosi/Schiff. I'm like WTF, can I escape this shit anywhere???

I believe his answer would be: "Soon."

If you asked 'how soon,' his answer would be "Real soon."

If you asked a third time, his answer would be, " I don't have the exact dates on that, but I have the best people, they're working on it, I'll look into that."

How hard did Dan Patrick jerk off to the audio clip on loop last night.  I'm guessing the LG's office looks like Randy Marsh's office this morning.  

On a completely unrelated note, the Capitol Complex is out of lotion this morning.  Visitors are advised to bring their own, but it must be under 4 ounces to pass security.

"We love our oil and we love our war fighters. Thanks to me, the biggest threat to our great nation has been removed. Yes, he was crying like a baby and he is gone now, died like a dog. But, you love your oil and gas here, and isn't it doing great? If you walk everywhere or ride on your skinny little bicycle then you don't care about the oil and gas, you don't think about where your little plastic helmet comes from.  But we know don't we? We  know it takes big trucks and big oil and gas to run this country and hardworking gas pumpers and we love our oil and gas here. Raise your hand if you don't think oil and gas is doing great. No? No tricycle riders in the crowd? Nobody? Nobody hiding over there behind the corn nuts? Well, you're good people and we love our oil and gas."

"I'll never forget Sid Miller's face.  It was red and looked like it was about to explode.  Seriously, his capillaries looked like a thousand, little dynamite fuses.  At first I was like 'who's this bloated fuck?'  And then I realized he's literally exploding with patriotism.  He'll die any minute but we love him.  Look at him there, just pulling off a Boss Hogg cosplay.  My God!  It looks like his head is being squeezed out of a fucking tube.  But we love him."

What a conundrum for Staff. The President does not fare well with respect to the overseas travel and he needs to leave for the airport in several hours.  Meanwhile, the rally in Virginia, the Senate trial looming, and the deadline to submit documents regarding the stalking of Yovanovitch is Thursday. So, wait and sedate? Let him play with his phone for awhile? It's not unlike traveling with a two year old. Sad.

Politics drifted into being like sports. Then specifically the NFL. Now we're seeing the emergence of the Raiders fan in full face paint and looking to gang up on some little guy who backs the Seahawks or Chiefs. 

All of this potential for violence seems less and less abstract to me.

I look at the panel of S. Carolina voters above. At first, I think what an encouraging indication of an element of American electorate they are. Then I get a sick chill thinking of what the MAGA white supremacists are shouting at their TVs as they watch them.

It's going to get bad.

It is heartbreaking, really. Family freed after the Civil War and you get some land. Work the land but the entire time an entire power structure is working to take it from you through vote suppression, denial of bank loans and lines of credit which are provided to white farmers, segregated education, klan nightriders, and on and on. Then the Civil Rights Act passes and everyone says: "well now, everything is equal!" as if with one pen stroke two hundred plus years of history and racial division has vanished and not allowed to continue as de facto discrimination and bias. As Jacob McCandles would say, "Not hardly."
