Hoo, boy, is HE ever right!Quote:
Whenever I visit Washington, I can't help but think this is the town that elected a crackhead as its mayor.
I know, I know it's not PC to say, but just because it's insensitive doesn't mean it isn't true.
But think about this: There is footage of Marion Barry in a room of crack smoke saying, "Bitch set me up." And yet that image, that video did not disqualify him from being seen as a viable political option in the mind of voters. In fact, not only was he re-elected mayor after serving time in a federal prison, today he sits on the City Council, all because he managed to convince enough black people that the video of him with the crack pipe in his mouth was white people's fault.
When analyzing what is wrong with our government, allow me to present this example as Exhibit A.
Exhibit B would be Newt Gingrich, who cheated on two wives and is the only speaker of the House to have been disciplined for ethics violations. And yet somehow he is running for president of the United States as a religious conservative and managed to get 8% of the votes during last week's straw poll in Florida.
Are you freaking kidding me?
The fact that he is even on camera discussing the country's sense of morality during the GOP debates should be offensive to any thinking person regardless of party affiliation. And yet someone, right now, is thinking about sending his campaign a check.
And who can forget Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who last year, in trying to push a controversial immigration law, said law enforcement officials found headless bodies in the desert, the work of a Mexican cartel. But she was forced to admit that wasn't true, that she had "misspoke." What she didn't speak about was her close ties to the private prisons that were set to profit because of the new law. Ties like her campaign manager and her spokesman being former lobbyists for private prison companies. And despite the obvious conflict of interest, she won easily, saying on election Tuesday, "Tonight, the people have redeemed and renewed America."
Nice work, people.
I could go on but I think you see what I'm getting at: The biggest reason government is broken is because of voters.
Let's face it. A lot of us are just plain stupid.
Or at the very least lazy.
We want our candidates to use easy-to-digest buzz words such as "family values" or "clean energy" so we don't have to actually invest too much time thinking. We can just slip our brains into auto-pilot and cruise on into November.
Do I believe our politicians need to be perfect? No.
But damn, you would think people would draw the line at crack.
Or blatant hypocrisy.
Or just making stuff up as a candidate goes along.
Each time Rep. Michele Bachmann insinuates falsehoods into her arguments, as she did earlier this month on the "Today Show" by suggesting HPV vaccinations cause mental retardation, I think: A group of people on auto-pilot in Minnesota did this to us.
When you know important debates are influenced by people who don't like being bothered with facts, you question just how many of the country's problems over the years have been caused by people who should not have been involved in the process in the first place.
But they are because of us. So can we genuinely complain about government without accepting a lot of the blame? I don't think so. After all, they didn't elect themselves. So if we want government to work, we have to be smarter about our choices. It's one thing to have a population with a variety of political sensibilities; it's another to be a country full of idiots. Too many times we vote and consequently govern like the latter.
We have to move away from easy-to-repeat campaign slogans and promises of easy solutions, because we're a country with more than 300 million people, a complicated racial and

Niki, I've gotten into this argument with Sig as well, and frankly, I don't think you can blame voters for politicians being ambitious and powerhungry in the first place, for becoming inevitably corrupted by the power their position grants them, for the way the game changes them because that's the only way to play, or people for expecting their leaders to act with a little bit of decency.
So no, I don't put it on the voters. I don't buy the arguments of the power-elite that we're all dumb animals and it's our own fault for putting them in charge. I don't believe that if the voters were to just vote for the right person, EVERYTHING could be fixed and "America could be put back on course"/"We could create a modern day utopia"/ etc.
I even think that ends up perpetuating the problem, some kind of bizarre blame the victim mentality that all the politicians are laughing up their sleeves at us falling for, because if we continue to believe it's our fault, if we continue to not hold them accountable, nothing ever has to change. And that feeds in directly to the question of "what's the right choice," and what they want us to conclude is "well, it's certain political party, and everything that goes wrong is the fault of other political party." Even though they end up 'compromising' on everything and those compromises are generally good for them and their corporate buddies and bad for everyone else.

Hello,
You thought long and hard. You voted for the right politician. You maybe even got the man you wanted sitting in the chair.
And now, don't you occasionally find yourself wishing that the chair had a switch on it?
Sometimes the only thing that keeps a man in power is the vast quantity of worse candidates. So what is the 'thinking' voter to do? What did you do? What will you do next?
Nothing new, I wager. There is no correct answer to this multiple choice test.

This may be true, but freedom = eternal vigilance.
I don't believe government is stupid at all, at the core.

Unfortunately, Anthony, you're right insofar as your argument goes. But people who pay attention have no chance of making their vote heard as long as there are enough stupid voters out there who buy into the buzz words and propaganda. If there were ENOUGH thinking voters to have power, I believe things WOULD be different.
I vote for the "lesser of two evils" and I will again, because I'm only GIVEN two viable choices; if thinking people did the nominating (or even got active in getting someone sensible NOMINATED), it would be different. JMHO.

I think it is the voters’ faults, including those who choose not to vote. People are unwilling to pay attention and debate the issues, but willing to vote based on single stances and rhetoric.

Speaking of people who elect trashy folk to office. My city's current mayor was kissing his 17 year old intern during his stint as Commissioner, keep in mind that he was in his 40s, and as soon as the intern turned 18 they rutted. And then he lied about it on top of that, while he was running he said he didn't do that stuff and then after he was elected it slipped out that he was lying. And my stupid city mates didn't even recall him, there were a few efforts but my city is so morally screwed up that it didn't work and he's still the mayor. Talk about embarassing, :8 Yucky.

Yep. Time for a return to literacy tests, poll taxes, property ownership requirements, loyalty oaths, etc. so only the right people get to vote. 
Sorry, but if you want a democracy, you gotta put up with people voting however they will. If you can't sell your vision, it may be the wrong product, or you may be telling the wrong story.
BTW, Marion Barry being returned to the D.C. Council by the voters in his (mostly African-American) ward, after his crack arrest and more recent troubles with the IRS, might be looked upon as supportive of Herman Cain's contention that Blacks are brainwashed.

See, no one is arguing which side is right, or that voters are stupid because they don't vote for a particular side.
The issue is that people vote but take no responsibilty for the flaws of government.

Well, I still don't think FAULT or ENABLE are the right words here, but if we're arguing about how money can buy someone out of anything, even crime, criminally negligent leadership, or really stupid policy and decision, and therefore how the voters are powerless to make their representatives behave, then okay. I can get behind that point.

BYTE: part of "holding politicians accountable" is to vote them out. Fire them, as it were.
BUT... you all seem to accept the idea that the only entity with an interest in a stupid populace is gubmint.
Well, government does not control the media. It doesn't air daytime soaps and reality shows and endless (ENDLESS!) commercials. It doesn't push the idea that the only goals in life are to be sexy and popular, to buy lots of shit, that everyone lives fulfilling lives, and that YOUR happy ending will come in 30 minutes (or an hour, less commercial breaks). It doesn't encourage hero-worship. It doesn't create loan documents with such obscure legalese and fine print that it would take a dual-PhD in accounting and law to parse them. It doesn't preach nonsense from the pulpit, or blather nonsense over the airwaves.
Any entity that wants to control what you do... and that includes business and religion... wants to make you stupid. God forbid you should think for yourself.

Yeah, like firing them really stops them. They usually just end up in some non-elected position, either government or corporate, and the corruption goes on.
Really, you'd have to hold the possibility of jail time or punishment over their heads, but unfortunately with how things currently work they can get out of that.
...But, okay, yes, the government relies on a stupid - or rather, partisan indoctrinated - public to function. But that's not to say the public is to blame for a guy being bribed by big oil with hookers, or convinced to start a war because Lockheed Martin has some shiny new tech they want to test out. Public stupidity doesn't even really ping on the "criminal action" scale, whereas politicians and corporate entities dominate it.
It still seems like blaming the victims to me. If someone is dumb enough to get conned, they're still a victim, aren't they? And aren't the con-artists the ones to blame?

I'm not arguing that any particular side is right, either.
But the argument is being made by the article Niki cited, and apparently by Niki herself, that "Stupid voters enable broken government".
This leads to the question "What are we to do with those stupid voters?"
Unfortunately, "stupid voters" usually ends up being defined as "People who don't vote as I would". And the result of anyone controlling who can vote, by poll tax, literacy test, etc. is that the folks who don't vote the 'right' way - in the opinion of those controlling - don't get to vote.
The only answer I can see is to let folks vote for Barry or Bachmann if they wish, but try to convince them it's not the best idea.
If you have any other suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

Or support the government they elected. This has been pointed out here as one of the problems with Pres. Obama's term so far. Many of his supporters, once he was elected, said "Our job here is done." and left him to try to deal with Healthcare and other issues without grassroots pressure and support.

That is all you can do is try and get people to pay attention. That and convince them they (as a whole) are responcible for the outcomes.

Pretty sure they're still victims. Do you know how often a victim of a regular con ever gets compensation? Ultimately, if you can't bring the con-artist to justice for whatever reasons, there really isn't much you can do. And these politicians, they seem like con-artists to me. They ask for your support, take your money, and there's no guarantee they'll use it for what they said they'd use it for.
We have to make there be consequences, and no, them resigning from office or not being reelected is not a consequence that has any impact on them.

The problem is that we do not agitate for a less corruptable system.
For example: the reason WHY money is so important to candidates is because broadcast advertising is so expensive. The FCC grants licenses to the bandwidth (which is owned by the people) for "the common good". Why can't it just require that airwave media provide a free set amount of advert time to credible candidates. (BTW- I would go for a 2-week moratorium on either paid or free political advert just b4 an election. That would reduce the amount of broadcast hysteria.)
Another thing: We should try to set in place more direct democracy.
Still, although government tends to rely on stupid voters, it's really not government that makes ppl stupid on a day-to-day basis. I really place blame for that on (corporate) media and religion. So, how do we stop corporate and religious brainwashing?
NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Oh man, where to even start...
Well, by choice I'd start with reforms of the public education system, of course.
And I would terminate "faith-based" funding which is just cover for shelling out tax money to officially approved religions, in violation of the first amendment.
As far as media goes, I'd say nationalize broadcast but historically that's a bad idea, so I figure best way to do that is do away with the bullshit which ensures only corporations wind up with broadcast rights - MI has a kind of look the other way thing goin on with "pirate" radio, and some of it is pretty good, but of course with freedom of speech you get haters, racists and nutters too...
But without corporate backing they can't really dominate the airwaves like they do now.
Of course, if you'd rather solve it at a stroke than nitpick it to death - eliminate corporate personhood, OR, as has been mentioned, hold them "personally" accountable for criminal activity.

This makes me think of two things:
1. When Princess Diana died, all of England and much of the world bitched and moaned about the evil paparazzi. I felt I was the only one thinking: stop buying every rag that prints a picture of Di, you morons. Then the photographers would stop chasing her. But the idiots just went out and bought more.
Yes, stupid people. Incapable of connecting cause and effect. Incapable of deciding NOT to be a part of the cause.
2. I was just reading about Perry and his "skepticism" of climate change, which reminded me of old threads on RWED. Otherwise intelligent-seeming posters stated their belief that scientists make all this up so they can get funding.
Ok, wait... Must get this off my chest...
Scientists falsify their research for money, but Big Oil and its politician leeches (Perry) would never do such a thing?
Scientists who have tenured jobs falsify their research for money, but Big Oil, with employment and income that depends solely on profit, would never do such a thing?
Scientists who work for educational institutions falsify their research for money, but Big Oil which exists purely to make a profit would never do such a thing?
Scientists who might make 100K or so a year falsify their research for money, but Big Oil controlled by managers/stock holders with million dollar bonuses/incomes funded by company profit would never do such a thing?
Scientists who must submit their work to peer-reviewed journals falsify their research for money, but Big Oil that only needs to stand up to the rigorous
standards of Faux news would never do such a thing?
BTW, which science classes did Perry take in college? How were his grades?
Talk about stupid.
I really wish Perry would hold a town hall meeting in my town, and give me the mic.
Yes, I blame voters for being stupid and getting us into this mess. Reagan I can excuse, but Bush? In 2004 no less? Stupid stupid stupid.
It gives me an odd and dark sort of comfort, actually. If America crashes and burns, it's because we've earned it. Any society that puts Bachmann or Palin or Perry or Cain in charge is only a danger to the world and should clean the slate and start over. I only hope the crash and burn, if we don't wise up and avoid it, isn't too ugly. The fall of Rome was followed by 1000 years of darkness...

Democracy:
A psycho stands in front of you, and offers you a choice. "You can be killed by the awl in my left hand or the axe in my right hand." I guess that's a democratic choice.
The way our democracy works, if there are ten hostages, and 6 vote for the axe, we all get axed.
However, in our democracy, if 3 vote to be axed and two vote to have out eyes gouged out with an awl and five refuse to be killed, we all get axed again.
Then we have voter fraud. The pro-awl crowd proves that really it wasn't 3 people saying axe, but one person jumping around the room saying axe three times, and two people saying awl, and 7 people who wanted to live, then they have a huge uphill battle to fight to show that we have in fact decided for the left hand, and we each get an awl in our brain, regardless of how each of us individually voted.
Then, some political commentator will come in and say "The system isn't perfect, but it's better than having no psycho in the room with weapons trying to kill us."
8 other people in the remove remain silent, and one agrees, and so among those who commented, support for that notion was unanimous.
I guess if we were to upgrade our political system and get rid of all the fraud and corruption, the above is what we would have.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

You know there really haven't been any substantiated cases of any kind of systematic widespread voter fraud in the last 50 or more years, right? I think what you mean is "election fraud", where one person reporting the results says "axe" three million times, when in fact the real results would have been five million votes for "freedom".

I felt I was the only one thinking: stop buying every rag that prints a picture of Di, you morons. Then the photographers would stop chasing her. But the idiots just went out and bought more.
Yes, stupid people. Incapable of connecting cause and effect. Incapable of deciding NOT to be a part of the cause.
2. I was just reading about Perry and his "skepticism" of climate change, which reminded me of old threads on RWED. Otherwise intelligent-seeming posters stated their belief that scientists make all this up so they can get funding.
Ok, wait... Must get this off my chest...
Scientists falsify their research for money, but Big Oil and its politician leeches (Perry) would never do such a thing?
Scientists who have tenured jobs falsify their research for money, but Big Oil, with employment and income that depends solely on profit, would never do such a thing?
Scientists who work for educational institutions falsify their research for money, but Big Oil which exists purely to make a profit would never do such a thing?
Scientists who might make 100K or so a year falsify their research for money, but Big Oil controlled by managers/stock holders with million dollar bonuses/incomes funded by company profit would never do such a thing?
Scientists who must submit their work to peer-reviewed journals falsify their research for money, but Big Oil that only needs to stand up to the rigorousstandards of Faux news would never do such a thing?
BTW, which science classes did Perry take in college? How were his grades?
Talk about stupid.
I really wish Perry would hold a town hall meeting in my town, and give me the mic.
Hell, he won't even hold such town hall meetings in Texas, for fear someone will ask him such uncomfortable questions.

No no no. Not at all.
First, there's a difference between someone IN THE SYSTEM, feeling powerless, grasping for any silver lining, and a person outside the system saying that everyone in the system needs to die because of the actions of a few.
Gino, who's not American, said that Americans should pay with our lives for what what our leaders did. We weren't willing to get our sniper rifles out and kill W, so we're at fault. (Recall that I asked him - But Gino, you never brought your rifle over the border and killed Bush, so aren't you at fault as well? According to your rules, don't you deserve to die too? Never got a response to that.)
My feelings are more like someone in a bad relationship who's been trying for years to convince herself it'll work. At some point I have to realize that it can actually end. And maybe it should. Maybe there's something better out there.
This doesn't mean I've decided to grab the meat cleaver and partake in bloody murder of my boyfriend! I don't want things messy, and I said as much though you didn't quote that part of my post.
If you (and Gino) inevitably tie change with violence, that's your issue.
And no, I'm not dreaming. What did MLK and Ghandi accomplish? How about the Middle East lately? Go Wisconsin! Go Verizon strikers! Go Occupy Wall Street! This is the stuff that needs to happen.
Now, what Gino could not see, but I know you can Kwicko, is that this attitude of his was right in line with the ideas of Bin Laden. Killed innocent citizens? Targeted bombing? How'd that work for OBL in 2001? How is it going for us in Afghanistan and Iraq?
And using this approach on ourselves, inside on our country? Is that what you mean? Are you insane? Bullshit it'd be cleaner! All it would do is destroy us, destroy our remaining character and cohesion. America may have an active Upsurge of Idiots to deal with, and a high-powered elite oligarchy buying up the govt, but there are ways to fight this without turning ourselves into Al Quaeda.
Again - go Occupy Wall Street! I'm going to visit them today. Looking into buying them some pizza or something.

As far as "How'd it work for Bin Laden?", I'd have to say he pretty much won. He got everything he wanted. He said he'd be a martyr to his cause, so we killed him, fulfilling his wish. He said he'd embroil the U.S. in wars it couldn't afford or sustain, and we promptly attacked and invaded numerous countries, again fulfilling his wish. His actions have pretty much spelled the end of the American Empire, according to the conservatives around these parts at least.

Are there plans to destroy democracy like something from a 'Bond' villain movie? The theocratic powers Vs the socialism powers?
If democracy were to collpase what system would replace it, perhaps it would be even more insane. Bangladesh, Thailand, and Turkey have seen democracies completely collapse and others use the military to restore their original government or constitution?
So one would think that perhaps in America with 'Freedom of Speech' it would be impossible for a Tyrant, a Religious mad man, an Atheist Communist type to take power, ins't America a place for the religiously free, is it not impossible to be a Hindu Radical, an Atheist Bomber, a Shinto Kamikaze because of that Freedom inside the constitution and what of times of War and Terrorism when a Constitution is suspended? The new progressive left and sometimes called a regressive Neo-Liberal tends to emphasize freedom from religion, especially freedom from the influence of traditional religious sexual morality but they sometimes ally with the Perverts and they also want islamists coming in through open borders, homosexuals who support the islamics who throw gays from buildings...so how does that confusion work? Social conservatives, by contrast, can emphasize the Bible passages or the 'God' it is their the right to be religious, especially the freedom to live and act in the public square according to one’s religious convictions, but what of the islamists again these people who claim to have the final say over the Jewish and Christian faith, claiming to be the same religion continuity, is islam nothing more than an invasive cult, could it be re-classed as a political system giving an ability to 'Ban-Islam'? So the shift now is the morally religion type President Joe Biden’s recent transexual support and identity politik, an idea that transgender equality is the “civil rights issue of our time,” the conflict between these competing views of religious liberty will only be amplified. If religion would collapse in America tomorrow perhaps the believer would find something else to believe in, they would take something else from the Middle East or North American hippie Paganism, or new age Asian culture or European, perhaps 'belief' and religion custom is part of human nature itself.

So I watched a few clips of Biden on this climate change thing, Biden and Boris Johnson falling asleep in Glasgow.
I agree with stopping pollution, its wise not to mess up your own backyard and smart not to pollute the planet.
There is no doubt mankind can change the enviornment and humanity has polluted the seas, the air and the land and rovers.
However there is something weird about the whoe thing its controlled and processed and other part of the group, its like a cult Q-Anon thing with these 'Extinction Agenda' people blocking up trade and traffice and there's that Greta kid she's on all the magazines looks like some sort of Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, always on media, I can't stand to listen to her for more than 60 seconds, way to immature...

Bing’s a no-nonsense kind of guy, so I get straight to it: “You’ve long been critical of nation building in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Your nonfiction books The Wrong War and One Million Steps: A Marine Platoon at War (2014), and most recently a novel, The Last Platoon (2020), all center around this. How did you decide to move away from nonfiction and write a novel?”
“I said, I can write a story that is a metaphor for the entire war, but centers around a captain on the battlefield with an ambitious colonel who represents the ambition of the military, and then link that back to the perceptions in the White House, which were crazy, just totally disconnected.”
Crazy? I ask him to describe what he means. “Afghanistan was a crazy military operation,” he says, “because anyone on patrol on the ground out there wandering around, trying to talk to these tribesmen who were hurling headlong into the Ninth Century would know that the tribal culture of Afghanistan had nothing to do with what we considered democracy. Therefore, for generals to be saying they could do this was crazy. The generals did not go out on patrol. And that’s what I was trying to point out in my novel. The people on the ground knew this couldn’t be done. And the generals kept insisting it could be done.”
“I’ve been on battlefields for 20 years — four or five years in Vietnam, four or five years in Iraq, four or five years in Afghanistan — and of the three of them, Afghanistan was the most absurd. It’s not a country. It is a pathology. It’s a deeply Islamic tribal culture. And we conceded to the terrorists a sanctuary called Pakistan. It made no sense what we were doing militarily.”

California’s Future of Pan-Enclavism?
https://robertstark.substack.com/p/californias-future-of-pan-enclavism
Quote:
California is a multicultural patchwork with countless examples of existing enclaves such as Chinatowns?, Tehrangeles and Koreatown in Los Angeles?, as well as the many Chicano and Mexican neighborhoods?. Beyond existing designated enclaves, there are broader de-facto pan-enclaves with examples including Asian American areas in the San Gabriel Valley and parts of Northern Orange County, both South and East Asian areas throughout the Silicon Valley, African American areas in Historic South LA and parts of Oakland and Richmond in the Bay Area, and the heavily Jewish parts of LA’s Westside and San Fernando Valley.
You could even make the case that many European American areas in California are beginning to function as enclaves. Examples include the Sacramento Suburbs in Placer County, Clovis in the Fresno metro, parts of Marin County and Central Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Luis Obispo on the Central Coast, South Eastern Ventura County, South Orange County, and North San Diego County.

Bing’s a no-nonsense kind of guy, so I get straight to it: “You’ve long been critical of nation building in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Your nonfiction books The Wrong War and One Million Steps: A Marine Platoon at War (2014), and most recently a novel, The Last Platoon (2020), all center around this. How did you decide to move away from nonfiction and write a novel?”
“I said, I can write a story that is a metaphor for the entire war, but centers around a captain on the battlefield with an ambitious colonel who represents the ambition of the military, and then link that back to the perceptions in the White House, which were crazy, just totally disconnected.”
Crazy? I ask him to describe what he means. “Afghanistan was a crazy military operation,” he says, “because anyone on patrol on the ground out there wandering around, trying to talk to these tribesmen who were hurling headlong into the Ninth Century would know that the tribal culture of Afghanistan had nothing to do with what we considered democracy. Therefore, for generals to be saying they could do this was crazy. The generals did not go out on patrol. And that’s what I was trying to point out in my novel. The people on the ground knew this couldn’t be done. And the generals kept insisting it could be done.”
“I’ve been on battlefields for 20 years — four or five years in Vietnam, four or five years in Iraq, four or five years in Afghanistan — and of the three of them, Afghanistan was the most absurd. It’s not a country. It is a pathology. It’s a deeply Islamic tribal culture. And we conceded to the terrorists a sanctuary called Pakistan. It made no sense what we were doing militarily.”

Sad Puppies was an unsuccessful right-wing anti-diversity voting campaign run from 2013 to 2017 and intended to influence the outcome of the annual Hugo Awards, the longest-running prize (since 1953) for science fiction or fantasy works. It was started in 2013 by author Larry Correia as a voting bloc to get his novel Monster Hunter Legion nominated for a Hugo award, and then grew into suggested slates, or sets of works to nominate, in subsequent years (led by Correia in 2014, and then Brad R. Torgersen in 2015).
For the 2015 Hugos, the Sad Puppies slate and overlapping Rabid Puppies slate, run by Vox Day, swept several entire categories of nominations. During final voting at the Hugos, however, all except one of those categories was voted "No Award"; in that category, Best Film, the Puppies nominated already-popular films

Broken government under Biden*?
No shit. It was clear that he was never going to be anything more than a meat puppet. The only question was, whose fingers would be up his spine? And I never figured he was SOOO disabled as so that he couldn't even be that.
So, who are the DNC "leaders" now? Obama is still "leading from behind" ... trying to manipulate shit in the background. There's Biden*. Hillary. Pelosi. All of the tottering old-guard. Hillary embedded a coterie of necocons in the State Dept (Nuland, Pyatt etc), the CIA has its own gaggle of "interventionists" beholden to no one. There is, of course, the procurement office of Boeing, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman and General Dynamics AKA the Pentagon. And the FBI and DOJ have a well-entrenched staff of deep-staters who will live far beyond Hillary's and Biden's* political utility.
The establishment GOP is no better. This is a bipartisan problem.
It would take an exceptionally strong, adroit President and Chief of Staff to dynamite that network apart and I don't expect it to happen. Anyone who tries will be persecuted, prosecuted, vilified in the media and- at worst- assassinated.
There only question is, who is going to be the next politically-expedient face on this shit?

There was a guy called Curtis Yarvin known also a pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American blogger, software engineer, business entrepreneur. He is known for saying some offesive, a fringe Libertarian Restoration idea, he then says Alt-Right stuff or online his critics say he is known being a troll, or provocative, some even say he wants to restore Monarchy, that's so crazy so why would anyone listen to a Monarchist...or do people listen because the currenct system is done and because crazy names like this are growing ever more popular? these types present their views as a revival of the traditions of Western civilization, but unlike ordinary reactionaries who nostalgically view the past as the good old days, neoreactionaries are futurists who are more critical of the past, for example by rejecting the ideals of the Enlightenment, the guys CurtisYarvin / Moldbug with Nick Land they claim to have founded the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary movement NRx.

Some pundit emailed me and wanted to know: if I didn’t think making abortions a bit more inconvenient was a fair prize for decades of political street-pounding to finally capture a ruling majority on the Grand American Imperial Council—well, then, what is a proper goal for a Supreme Court majority?
At first I was like: do I look like Linda Greenhouse? Then later I got used to the idea. While it is a ridiculous question—my first answer would be “like, anything else”—sometimes a silly question deserves a serious answer. After all, we are the future.
There are two classes of answer. “Type A” answers are those in which the President and the Court have to work together in a unified strategic plan (one thinks at once of Lincoln’s “Stephen, Franklin, Roger and James”); “Type B” answers are those in which the Court can, in theory, act on its own without control of the White House.
Obviously, type B, a judicial coup alone, cannot reach the power of type A, a joint presidential-judicial coup. But type B strategies can still be useful. What makes a Court decision strategically useful? What makes any action strategically useful?
Strategic strikes and balls
An action is strategically useful if, after that action, it is easier to replace the regime. Let’s call a useful action a strike—making a useless or counterproductive one a ball. (Note that the French coup translates as strike.)
See how easy this is? Dobbs is not a strike, because post Dobbs, the elves get motivated and the hobbits demotivated. If the regime can only be changed by coordinated hobbit action against Elf-Ruled America, and this action becomes harder, Dobbs is a net lose—a ball.
Dobbs was struggle, not strategy. When in a trap, the universal rule is: don’t struggle. Don’t act wildly out of instinct—any trap will be designed for you to do exactly that. Your instinct wants you to throw balls. You need to train yourself to throw strikes.
The most obvious kind of strike is a decapitation strike, in which the regime changes in one blow. Here is a decapitation strike which does require coordination between the White House and the Court. I call this little play the “Humphrey’s Executive.” America has not seen a judicial coup like “the Hump” since Marbury v. Madison itself.
Type A: Humphrey’s Executive
The core of this strike is the repeal of Humphrey’s Executor, one of the core decisions protecting the Babylonian captivity of the Presidency, and thus of democracy itself. “Humphrey’s Executive,” in its full version, is a type A decapitation strike. (As usual with this straight-up coup shit, anything short of the full monty is a super bad idea.)

I’d chosen this week’s winner even before Donald Trump’s announcement that he’d be running for president again, but it’s particularly apt in light of that. It’s a powerful meme that not only points to the truth of the former president’s narcissism and complete failure of leadership, but also effectively triggers the emotions of those who continue to support the man and those who don’t alike. The only thing that prevents it from being a perfect meme is the execution of the dialogue balloon. 9/10.

Perhaps “America First” Trumpists are a hollow shell because there is no such thing as Trumpism and weirdo Tuckerism just comes across as a political ideology for people who say things like “political ideology”?

Put McConnell, McCarthy and Romney and the rest of the Neo-Cons out to pasture where Nancy Pelosi and the Clintons belong. I don't ever want to hear a single word from any of them again.
Fuck you Republicans. Fuck you so hard. You suck so fucking bad that you delivered us into two more years of Biden*'s agenda when every historical trend was in your favor.
I want the Democrats to win seats in the Senate, keep the house and gain at least one Gubernatorial slot when the votes are tallied.
If we're going to burn the world down, let's go all in. The time for half-measures is over.

They're totally rigged. At least in Blue states. If they weren't rigged before the 2020 election, they sure were after many states went to unsolicited mail-in fraud ballots with drop boxes and ballot harvesting.
Too bad for Democrats that Republicans are better at cheating and now that it looks like they've realized the power that Democrats just gave them, Democrats are in a shit load of trouble in the future if they don't close up those cheating apparatuses while they still have the chance.
