And I think we can all appreciate this bit of eloquence:
More than anything, I cherish freedom of expression and believe it is our most spiritual right. Prayer, poetry, stories, music—they’re what lift us above this mortal space. Ideas have metaphysical weight. I’d rather die than live in a world without this freedom, which I saw Democrats repeatedly trying to control and restrict.
Very good.
I have to say, I didn’t so much vote against the Democrats as I voted for Donald Trump. Because of his record and his stated agendas and policies.
Also I like him. I think he’s funny.
It was a positive vote.
…That’s what Americans like me voted against. We didn’t vote for Mr. Trump. We voted to stop the cancerous mutation of well-intended ideas misused by institutions, turned self-serving and dictatorial by an elite few. This is the story of so many catastrophes, from Lysenkoism and the internment of Japanese Americans to weapons of mass destruction and the Patriot Act. We’ve been watching parallel manias unfold on myriad fronts….
[Emphasis mine; Barry M.]
So Lysenkoism is a “well-intended idea”??
Well I guess it’s a start…but this person has a ways to go…
(Any time I come across a “They’re BOTH terrrible” argument, I know there’s a short circuit in that person’s reasoning abilities…or his/her courage….)
OMMV…
Qatar has notified Hamas Officials staying in the Country, that they are no longer welcome and must immediately make preparations to depart.
The pressure is on them to succumb to Israel’s terms. In one of Mr. Trump’s biggest applause lines at the Republican convention, he warned, “We want our hostages back, and they better be back before I assume office or you will be paying a very big price.” That threat is now operative, and the clock is ticking.
As they say, read the whole thing.
yes I’m going to do a hard pass on lysenkoism, the patriot act, was the wrong solution to the right problem, gorelick deliberated blockedcommunications between the bureau and the company, now was the latter
playing games trying to recruit the san diego team, that part is unclear, as was the knowledge of the saudi support apparat in the country,
in FRWL the spy chief was a coffee drinker, but on telenovelas specially of a contemporary nature, they do seem to drink tea,
Trump is admittedly a blunt instrument, not everyones cup of tea, but he was probably the only one with ganas that could have pulled it off, consider this archipelago of interests, and faction that were stitched together,
you could probably not imagine such a thing, those in bensonhurst and the bronx to milwaukee to dearborn, to los angeles,
one doesn’t have to make excuses for the right choice, conversely the father of lies, has to work overtime, there were so many hot takes, how shamelessly they were willing to prop up a progressive, that didn’t even really try to get her message across,
now she was carrying the Galapagos turtle that was the Biden administration on her back, I’m sure shes glad shes free of that,
where will she end up, I think even Dr Evil will hesitate to employ her initially, maybe on a probationary basis, I don’t count them because like freddy krueger of jason voorhees they never evarr seem to go away,
Trump’s my cup of tea too! I voted for HIM, while also voting against every democrat on my ballot.
I like the guy. I don’t get the hand-wringing, or the constant need for some to preface every comment about him by stating perceived failures in his personality or his speech. IrishOtter49 is right – there are no philosopher kings. Nor are we electing a pastor or a pope.
Baruch Spinoza stifles a guffaw behind his hand. It’s his world and you’re all welcome to live in it.
Count me in as one who ENTHUSIASTICALLY voted for President Trump.
I got to do that 3 times.
I think the D’s made a HUGE mistake shoving Plagiarist Biden down our collective throats.
The other fascinating part about the news of the Titanic sinking, was the role of wireless communication, or shortwave. Long before the story appeared in the print news, at least as a first hand account, the information was spreading across the country via shortwave. (I wonder how many early print articles appeared based solely on shortwave info. Don’t know the answer to that.)
The problem was that as the info. spread from radio to radio, it morphed in a manner similar to “the game of telephone.” The details became so corrupted, and so much consternation ensued, that legislation was passed to regulate wireless. A precursor to the FCC was created.
1. “Immediately reissue my 2020 executive order, restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats.”
2. “Clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus.”
3. “Totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they’re lied to in warrant applications.”
4. “Expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart.”
5. “Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy.”
6. “Make every Inspector General’s office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the deep state.”
7. “Ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.”
8. “Continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp.”
9. “Work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate.”
10. “Push a constitutional amendment to oppose term limits on members of Congress.”
Most of it sounds pretty good. But I’m a little unclear about 10, is he saying wants no term limits at all?
Karmi asked about Trump’s choice for Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.
Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer and Dan Turentine discuss her at length in this episode of 2 Way. From experience, one of the most important choices Trump will make.
Nonapod – I’ve seen No. 10 reported elsewhere as “impose,” not “oppose.”
That makes more sense, Bauxite. And I heartily agree with the idea, although I seriously doubt it’ll ever happen of course. It’s not like Congress would ever vote to give themselves less power. For such an amendment you’d need a 2/3rds majority of both houses, which there’s just no way you’d get that many. Or something like 38 states to vote for it in a convention, which may be slightly less impossible I guess, but still unlikely.

Wait! What’s going on here!?
Oh, nevermind: it’s just Trump phoning around to let people know what is coming. Y’know. Winter. Winter is coming.
Jes’ readin’ the coffee grinds….
(Is Erdogan next? Or is he a tea drinker…? Actually, Kool-Aid more likely…)
Just beautiful sdferr, which brings to mind yet another WSJ editorial – Trump’s Win Means It Isn’t Iran’s Middle East Anymore.
