Note to recent list joiners who aren't getting pinged on this: I'm a little behind Duncan on updating the list, my apologies. I'll make sure to get that done today.

Social media has been full of the Democrats talking about the Stormy Daniels affair with the joy and sniggers of three-year-olds who just discovered there’s a word for what you do on the potty.
This is predictable and not at all upsetting, because if these people had any political sophistication and understanding of history, they wouldn’t support a party that is more fully behind the full-on communism that has killed a hundred million human beings in the 20th century and bids fair to at least an attempt to continue its work in the twenty-first. Also, most of them have the understanding of history of Occasional Cortex and think that politics is a sort of game. All they’re really doing is signaling their membership in the “tribe.”
All well and good, but there is an aspect of this that worries me: they actually expect l’affaire Stormy to change our minds about Trump. And from their polls – snork, giggle, remember 2016? – they’re absolutely convinced they’re winning.
This worries me because it tells me just how far from reality their mental processes have gone, particularly their image of us.
Look, I don’t deny we have any number of religiously conservative people. Note, these are not just religious or conservative, but people whose only interest in politics is that their religion tells them to be conservative. And maybe those people really can be turned off voting for a president because he is sinful. (Raises eyebrow.) Except that, you know, all of those I personally know have accepted that the president —as sinful and imperfect as he is — has been the vehicle for something else.

I was a rare Giuliani supporter in 2007-8 who didn't get banned. I said exactly what you just said.
Here was a very unusual politician who said he was going to do something "impossible", and then went ahead and did it.
I feel the same way about DJT. I grew up in NYC when he was a young man, and by the mid-80s he was the punchline of a joke.
But that was then.
I keep going back to the Lincoln-Grant analogy.
The story goes that Lincoln was pressured to remove Grant from command because of his drinking. It was unseemly!
Lincoln’s response - I cannot spare this man, he fights!
That’s how I feel about Trump. Don’t care about un-Presidential. We had eight years of G.W. Bush not responding at all to all sorts of unjustified attacks, acting Presidential, and what did that get us? Eight years of Obama.
I’ll take Trump, he fights.
See my previous just above, written before seeing your post.
Make the best of it, and if you're older rather than younger, be thankful for your long years, for better or for worse.
What must be taken away are their printing presses and their transmitters
They are not truly American and not entitled to American legal protection

OOPS! CORRECTION . . . the THIRD “S” in “USSR.”

“Their pig ignorance of the world and their smug and stupid imagined superiority over the rest of us...……..
Their ignorance will soon be found out when CWII becomes a shooting war instead of just words.
ha! it’s definitely a true statement.... say what you want about Trump, but... he fights. Nice tagline btw!
OK Goob (me) since when does “USSR” have three S’es?
Must be another Gumby Monday.
Yup.
My non-political older sister called me before the last presidential election pleading for me to vote for Trump...she said, "he's our last chance to save the country."
I was surprised, up till then, she didn't even vote.
” Holier than though hasn’t cut it for a long time, but we get holier than thou Hillarys and Bushes because we like holier than thou. Grow up. I think most of us have.”
Thank you for this comment. We are the resistance. The resistance has to fight out of sewers and do things that are usually frowned upon. That is our only way to win. Yet, some here still hold noses at etiquette offences like this is a parlor game. Amazing.
I have to agree although I really wish it wasn’t so.
But the handwriting is on the wall.
The Left will go after us with all they have. For instance, what Lois Lehrner of the IRS did will be common practice. IMO
“As it is, 50% of the public is still sitting out elections. As the Communist horde stands boldly declaring they are coming for your property and liberty”.
Yes, it’s disgusting. Some of them will wake up but it will be too late. They won’t understand what hit them.
They(R) probably raise more money being in the Minority.
It’s all about the Benjamins.
Direct quote from a Democratic Operative on CSpan (wish i’d caught his name) as to how they see the USA.
“You cannot talk about Economic Inequality in this country without talking about Racial & Economic disparities because of the system we’ve built based on Slavery, Jim Crow and Interment and all these things.”
Profound to me because they see our nation’s foundation as built on shifting sand unworthy of support. They mean to tear down this crumbling house and put up their own.
