Lulz at Jason Miller's shit getting put on blast. If they start rolling these out for all of the shitbags in Trump's orbit it will be fantastic.

Didn't want to bump the "Rush has Cancer" thread because he's not dead yet, buuuuuut ...

Gotta pull for the trifecta: DOTARD loses presidency, Republicans lose the Senate and the airwaves lose Rush.  The world could be a better place on November 4th.

The last weekend in August, 2001, two weeks before the attacks of 9/11, President George W. Bush travelled with his wife, Laura, and an entourage of government officials to a steel mill outside Pittsburgh. He worked the tables at a picnic for members of the United Steelworkers union and their families. I was there as a reporter, and I recall standing just a few feet away from the President on that hot day, listening to him make small talk with the factory workers and watching the sweat soak through his checkered shirt. After the picnic, he ascended a temporary stage and gave a speech promising a “level playing field” for American steel. A few months later, he instituted a tariff on steel imports.

A President serves as the chief executive of the federal government, but he is also the functional head of his political party. Bush was at the steel mill more as Republican-in-Chief than as head of state. Though he couldn’t have imagined that Donald Trump, whom he is known to despise, would become President, Bush was trying out a populist turn in Republicanism as he attempted to persuade Democratic blue-collar workers in the Rust Belt to leave their party. Bush’s family was solidly anti-tariff; his father had been denied a second term in 1992 partly because two maverick challengers, Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, both anti-free-trade nationalists, had roughed him up enough for Bill Clinton to be able to win the Presidential election, with forty-three per cent of the popular vote. Bush, by making protectionist gestures, was now departing from the tradition of his father and grandfather. (In the 2004 election, he flipped three counties in western Pennsylvania that he had lost in 2000, and came close to carrying the state.)

If you have Presidential ambitions, you have to think about a collection of policies and stances that could enable you to win by bringing together various groups across the country. Candidates have a number of options about which policies to include. Bush’s enthusiasm for steel tariffs didn’t last long—he had rescinded them by the next year. So what was in his collection?

So Im almost done with this. It is...definitely a read. Toward the bottom, two absolutely infuriating things. When discussion the Reversalist position, where Republicans discuss stealing the working class social programs party from Democrats and adopting it themselves. Mother. Fuck. I'm not saying it's possible, but it's perfectly fucking plausible at this  point...but the truly upsetting thing is the craven discussion of this as a strategy...just so they can fucking hold power.

  Quote

In the 2020 primary season, Bernie Sanders easily defeated Biden in California and Nevada because he did far better among Latino voters, who presumably preferred his farther-left economic program, elements of which the Reversalists would like to appropriate for themselves, without using the term socialism.

Or. And fucking hear me out here, you can work to implement these policies right now, in a bipartisan manner, because you think they might be good for the fucking people. But no, we'll show no aspect or remote hint of morality or code or identity just so we can figure out how to once again usurp power. 

People are fucking disgusting.

November 4th? I don't think you fully appreciate the shitshow that's in store for us.

Republican from Virginia on Meet the Press right now is actually rational.  Denver Riggleman.  I was a little stunned.  He not only denounced Qanon, but called out the Rs for being complicit in pandering to "people who think Lord of the Rings is a documentary".  I take some offense that he is lumping in LOTR with Q freaks, but to see an actual Republican with a spine was refreshing.

Qanon's brand of fantasy makes LOTR look like historical nonfiction.

I have no friggin idea where to put this. It could go almost anywhere and if it's been posted already I sincerely apologize. You may have seen the Senator Whitehead video posted in the Amy Coney-Barrett thread regarding the influence of dark money groups, organized three prong attacks by these groups and some of the people who lead them. They push not just for judge appointments but also voter suppression, etc. I started down a bit of a rabbit hole and it's going to take me quite a bit of time that I currently don't have to watch these other videos but holy cow, it's depressing just to watch one much less the rest. It's a who's who of the usual suspects as well as some people who like to stay in the shadows. The link to the videos is here ( https://documented.net/2020/10/documented-publishes-internal-videos-from-cnp/ ), but also in the last tweet.

The nurse with whom Hensley had a romantic relationship with is identified as his second cousin in case records and courtroom testimony from a separate proceeding.

 

-Rudy Giuliani is nodding approvingly. Sadly the fact that she’s an RN probably means she’s over 18, but hell, maybe not, it is TN.

Uh, “from a separate proceeding?”

What kind of shitty malpractice lawyer let’s you admit, in a complete separate case, that you’re banging out your second cousin that works for you?

The same article quotes the defense as saying half of that County is related. So I guess they had no choice, sir.

SESAME STREET? HE'S MESSING WITH SESAME STREET?

Good Lord, Ben. Get a clue.

 

On a different note, is this for real? Manipulated? It's not out of the realm of possibility for Corey, but whooooo, that's um, well.
