Oh, please. They will utterly and completely destroy everything about this country.

They will destroy its wealth, its freedom, its liberty, its unity, its culture, its social structure, its history, its power — everything — they are a fucking SOCIAL CANCER.

Not “figuratively”. Literally. >:-/

And no, that’s not “hyperbole” — not for effect, not of any kind. It is a precision usage of those words to describe something bleeding obvious.

Look what their ideas *already* did to Sri Lanka.

Look what they are doing to Canada.

Look what Dutch farmers are fighting.

You DO realize that Germans are now cutting down their own forests in record quantities over the last CENTURY so they can BURN THE WOOD, they’re so short on energy. Gas prices in Europe are up like 100%.

France has been a net energy exporter for DECADES, but now they are telling people they won’t have power reliably through the winter. Many restaurants are expected to close — permanently — because they can’t stay in business without electricity or heat.

Figure it out. It’s freaking DUH. The Left — the Democrats — are the enemy of all humankind. MOST of them are just useless idiots. But they give power to the ones who really are pernicious and evil, and that is the big problem.

“…I don’t know that they’ve all said this…”

This is nothing but a shuck and jive. It does not matter that they have ALL said this, enough have admitted it that it no longer matters.

“…who tried to lean an armed insurrection…”

Really? Really? WHERE WERE THESE ‘Arms’???

Seriously — who went there armed with more than a pocketknife. Other than possibly grabbing “found objects” on the capital grounds, what “ARMS” were used?

This is bloody effing O-B-V-I-O-U-S, and **moron** can see it, but no one challenges them on it. They just clap and nod their heads. Because Orange Man Bad.

WTF? Even Mahar does not appear to say anything against it…

Because you simply can’t lead an “armed insurrection” if there are no arms involved. No guns, no bows, no crossbows, no machetes, not even a pitchfork, FFS!! ZIP. ZILCH. NADA.

Add to this the fact that it’s a clear re-direct “whataboutism”, and Mahar is accepting it.

Pay NO attention to that scandal, HEY, look, a **PUPPY**!!!

It’s bovine excreta on every level. They don’t want to talk about the HB Laptop, they want to redirect everyone to playing defense on the “insurrection” LIE.

It’s HOW THEY WORK.

And Mahar is apparently falling for it. He needs an actual smart conservative/libertarian on that panel to make sure they can’t pull this crap. Someone like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson. Or Candice Owens. Or Tucker Carlson. Or Colion Noir. Or **someone** who will see what they are attempting and short-circuit it.

His political speakings have demonstrated abject ignorance and sheer parrotry of The Agenda for literal decades.

When you are talking about movie direction — yeah, he’s pretty good at that.

When you are talking about anything else? He’s a poster boy for Dunning-Kruger.

Reiner has produced some engaging work (Stand By Me), but in many respects, he’s an obtuse man. Steve Sailer has some fun at his expense contrasting his housing arrangements in Malibu with his blather about immigration and diversity. The man has no idea he lives in a very pricy glass house. See also his commentary on the social element Archie Bunker represented. Norman Lear, his scriptwriters, and Carroll O’Connor created a character who had bad manners and said rude things to people and about people, but had also done his military service when it mattered, earned a living doing the sort of work you put up with rather than like, bought a home for his wife and daughter to live in with his earnings, cleaved only to his wife, and put up with his repulsive son-in-law year in and year out in deference to his daughter’s wishes. Reiner’s on the record as saying the Archie type is the sort ‘who should be marginalized’.

There have been some very unfunny things happening in the political establishment since before 2016 that you seen not to have noticed and certainly a few unfunny things after 2016. Here is one of the non-jokes:

McConnel and the checked pants patrol are all over it (over it, aka not at all fighting).

Tell us more tales of the OMB,

But you persist. It isn’t a good thing to give up your game in the first sentence. Terminal OMB is never funny.

Is being a “deplorable” or a “semi-fascist” a funny thing? Sorry, how would you know?

That’s the funny part to me. I still hope that November goes well for Republicans. If it doesn’t, though, I’ve already seen commenters here preemptively blaming it on McConnell. So – we have a bunch of non-traditional candidates that won close primaries because of Trump endorsements, McConnell points that out, but also funnels tens of millions of dollars to those candidates to help them compete with the Democrats’ money machine – yet if those Trump candidates fail, it will be McConnell’s fault.

A lot of Trump supporters have reach the stage where their beliefs are unfalsifiable. If team Trump wins, it’s because Trump is great. If team Trump loses, it’s because of some sort of treachery or conspiracy.
