Surprised the liberals didn’t mention how happy they are about the 2,000,000 invaders and how the country is more multi-cultural because of it.

How they’re happy about the fact that so many food items are more expensive and in short supply, thus lessening the amount of damage farts do to the environment.

It took 10 posts before someone, finally, pointed that outrageous bias out. Thanks.

Cool. does that always work?

And now that I’ve read it I wonder if they deliberately did not add an independent focus group because they don’t want to know.

Not always. You can always get a paywall bypass via chrome/mozilla, etc. Depends on what fits your style.

In Washington right now its $3.99/gallon for 89 octane, and I have a 40 gallon tank. So its roughly $160 for a fill up. As for 140 octane VP race fuel, that is $140 for a 5 gallon pail right now. Not sure which is more expensive, driving to work or racing my quad.

The ‘coup’, as we all know, is just a distraction to keep folks focused on what is really going on.

For 4 years with President Trump, they had Russia and the impeachment. That was done to distract from all the positive things going on.

They can’t do that with CornPop, so lets talk about the Capitol.

Even Tucker won’t really touch that topic. It wouldn’t be hard to look at the charges that folks have pled to. The charges that are pending against those in the DC lockup. And then compare that treatment to say:

the guy that killed a Cleveland cop a week or so ago and ask why he was offered a bond. Or the guy in Austin that took a minor across state lines and molested him, who was offered a $50,000 bond. Of course, bring up John Sullivan, who was also in the Capitol, filmed Ashli Babbitt being murdered and why no charges were filed on him nor did the DOJ seek any type of detainer on him.

Why Epps, who is on camera, inciting the whole thing is being allowed to walk.

The list goes on and on.

This seems to reinforce that Democrats are low-IQ heavy TV watchers with very little critical thinking skills. “Yup, yup, that’s what Don Lemon and Jimmy Kimmel told me. Must be true. Orange man bad.”

Gas Prices dropped the other day, so after 3 weeks of driving my +40 mpg TDI using Diesel from March ‘20, I filled up the P/Up.

We’ll see how this goes going forward.

[Trump was WRONG about Corn Ethanol as a US vehicular fuel additive. Especially the 15% thingy]

??? Tucker has had a three part series on J6. He has had Julie Kelly and Darren Beattie on multiple times to talk about J6 and the treatment of political prisoners.

What he has not talked about is Nov 3 and election fraud. No one at Fox talks about it.

Worth reading for an understanding of what a REAL insurrection is...

Seven Hours in January Was Not Seven Days in May

A coup is an extremely tricky proposition, as Burt Lancaster’s character in the 1964 film Seven Days in May, discovered much to his chagrin. The film (and the book) notes the level of detailed planning necessary, the prior co-option of various levers of power that needs to occur, the cruciality for speed of implementation, and -- just as importantly -- the requirement of a post-coup strategy. It cannot in any way, shape, or form be said that the events of January 6 even remotely involved any of these elements, a fact proven, ironically, by the very information being released or leaked or whatever by the Select Committee itself.

In a proper insurrection or coup, one of the key elements is control of the media. If this were a legitimate attempt to overthrow the government, the planners, in theory, would have made sure that only evil Fox News was left on the air, that it had changed its logo to incorporate buffalo horns, and that all other media -- including social -- was broadcasting or retweeting or posting reruns of “Welcome Back, Kotter.” The fact that Fox News personnel were real-time texting government officials imploring them to quell the Capitol situation immediately is pretty much the exact opposite of that.

Detailed prior planning is also a condition of a coup attempt. In theory, Trump would have made absolutely sure troops were in place to help the mob -- he didn’t (there does seem to be some confusion as to exactly what happened with the National Guard but, most assuredly, if Trump had immediately sent in the Guard to end the disorder it would have been -- and would still be -- portrayed as a proof of evil intent, heads I win, tails you lose as it were).

Also, if this had been a real coup attempt, the “bombshell” January 5 text Rep. Jim Jordan sent to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows outlining potential legal arguments regarding the seating of questionable electors would not only have been months before and may also have included what to “do” with those electors afterwards.

Internal security is also crucial. In Seven Days in May, the plotters coordinate using a Preakness Stakes-related code -- if Trump (or anyone in his circle, real or imagined) sent a tweet stating that “The Blue Monkey Walks Alone at Noon” to trigger events there may be actual cause for concern. But, again, that did not happen.

In Edward Luttwak’s extremely interesting book Coup D’état: A Practical Handbook, he outlines a series of practical necessities a successful overthrow entails. A neutralized opposition, media control, military support, dedicated and discrete supporters throughout government offices, speed of implementation, a detailed and logistically feasible organizational action plan, and the immediate institutionalization of the new government are all among the key elements to prevailing. Since what occurred on January 6 not only lacked any of these elements but, by all accounts, had the exact opposite characteristics means, again, the premise that an actual government overthrow was in process is ludicrous.

Hmmm...let's check who's on the hill. Over here in blue trunks:

Margie Omero is a principal at the Democratic polling firm GBAO and has over 20 years of experience providing strategic advice using qualitative and quantitative research. Her clients have included some of the world’s biggest brands, hundreds of Democratic candidates for office, and non-profit and advocacy groups. Her clients have included the AFL-CIO, The Center for American Progress, Third Way, Groundwork Collaborative, DNC, DCCC, EMILY’s List, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Everytown for Gun Safety, Brady PAC, and Kansas Governor Laura Kelly.

Ok...a leftist partisan hack. Just what I've come to expect to lead the witnesses for the Dems. And in the other corner, wearing red trunks...

Kristen Soltis Anderson is a pollster, speaker, commentator, and author of The Selfie Vote: Where Millennials Are Leading America (And How Republicans Can Keep Up). She is a Founding Partner of Echelon Insights, an opinion research and analytics firm that serves brands, trade associations, nonprofits, and political clients. She is host of SiriusXM’s “The Trendline with Kristen Soltis Anderson” and writes a regular newsletter, Codebook. She has appeared on programs such as Morning Joe, Fox News Sunday, and Real Time with Bill Maher, her work has work has appeared in The Daily Beast, Politico, and HuffPost, and has been a political analyst for Fox News Channel and ABC News. Originally from Orlando, Florida, Kristen now resides in Washington, DC.

Wait...what? THAT is who's there for Republicans? She sounds like a RINO in purple trunks.

And they STILL couldn't get the Republicans to "behave."

Posted this on a thread earlier today:

The Leftist Democrats and their media seem more than a little upset that people overall pretty much just said a collective "so what?" about January 6.

It wasn't that COVID overshadowed it, as some have said, looking for an excuse. Even after the media's breathless, endless, coverage of the anniversary of the hellish, terrible "attack" they emote about, it turned out to be just a nothingburger. They really hate it when the country doesn't get excited about something they want the country to get excited about.

The insuevtion is BS. A false flag. A medi story. BLM / ANTIFA … We’re 1000x worse. The difference was narrative. The were lead like sheep to the slaughter. By who I don’t know other than the FedGov. If we cared we would do something. What is the question because I would never make a jury of their Peers.

Wake up time could be terribly painful but that is the piper we will all pay. Be still in your heart and be willing to be true to the truth. I have been a coward. Will probably be a a coward. God help the day I decide not to be a coward.

Duckspeak is a Newspeak term meaning literally to quack like a duck or to speak without thinking. ... To speak like a duck was actually a conscious effort on the part of the speaker to disconnect from thinking and be able to spout out whatever is needed by the party.

+-+The Democrats at times seem pretty confident they can manipulate the off year elections as they did the 2020 affair. It is a matter of the algorithm. I don’t yet see a move to do away with computer voting in any states. The Left owns the voting machines and programs them and puts in back door access “just in case.”
