The party that hosted a fascist Hungarian autocrat at CPAC to speak about how the Republican Party should embrace fascist tactics is really upset about being called fascists.



Below is a photo of MAGAs* lining up today in PA for another Trump rally. I hope those who read my blog and complain that Joe Biden is not a "unifying" POTUS, as he promised he would be, -- I hope they take a good look at what these people and their children think about Joe Biden, and then tell us again what Biden isn't doing enough of to "unify" the country.

PS. A reminder: Those MAGAs are lining up to see a man who was impeached twice, incited an insurrection to stop the certification of the electoral votes (which he lost), and just recently had his M-a-L golf club searched because he took STOLEN TOP SECRET government documents t to an unsecured location at MAL, where anyone could have seen them, and lied to the government saying he had returned them all, after ignoring a subpoena! IOW, a lawless, corrupt Liar, Cheat, and Fraud.


*NOTE:  I found this on Twitter this AM. It was on Ron Filipkowski's site, and he's usually accurate.

A penny for the Goys?

Hey Minus! I didn't know you were Jewish.

And what's this about Goyim? Does it have something to do with a new conspiracy theory of yours?

PS. Trump did not declassify anything. You're wrong on that, too! Again.

But whether those docs were classified or not, it doesn't matter in this case. Trump stole government property and lied about it.

Trump is a degenerate liar, and I don't know this for sure, but it looks like he'll be indicted this time for this particular crime.

We'll wait and see.

HAPPY LABOR DAY. Brought to you by Union men and women! Enjoy!

Shaw Kenawe said...

PS I knew you are MAGA. One has only to read your wrong conspiracy theories to understand that.

Les Carpenter said...

America was never more exceptional than any other nation. Perhaps more manipulative than others in pursuit of its own self interests but certainly not more exceptional. MAGA is really an empty slogan. Was America great for what it did to the American Indians? The enslaved and often beaten black folks? Was it great for how it treated Japanese Americans during WW II? The Chinese who built our railroads? And there is more...

Now America's republican party seems to believe if it morphs America into a fascist state that will somehow make America Great Again...

Good luck with that delusion MAGAt.

A few months ago, President Joe Biden stood in front of the U.S. Capitol in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots and delivered his inaugural address. He called for unity, and Americans who see a politically fractured country welcomed it. He could have then put together an agenda that would have accomplished many of his goals while also helping heal the country. On COVID-19, infrastructure and other matters, there was a road to garnering massive bipartisan support. We focus a lot on disagreements, but in each of these areas, average citizens share a broad consensus that Biden could have reached.

Instead, The lockdowns smashed the livelihoods of many Americans. There was broad bipartisan consensus to provide further relief to small businesses and individual Americans. There was also support for further funding to speed vaccine deployment. By focusing on these core COVID-19-related areas, Biden could have achieved the first major bipartisan success in many years.

A group of 10 influential Republicans approached him with such a package. Biden rejected them and instead signed the most expensive spending bill in U.S. history, without a single Republican vote. This $1.9 trillion monstrosity delayed relief for average Americans by weeks in order to include non-COVID-19 related pork. It even changed the formula for aid to state and local governments to favor larger blue states over smaller red states.
And lets not forget the Billions of wasted dollars that he is responsible for when he left ALL that equipment in Afghanistan after he Blundered that withdrawal . .And the Current INFLATION, the Price of Gas, the lack of Baby Formula, the empty shelves in the Super Markets, and I can go on, and on forever.

. The saddest part is Biden never even gave a unity agenda a chance. Our country needs the healing he promised. Biden delivers the opposite.

We got lip service. That was it, the democrats said 'here's what we want and if you don't support it we'll pass it anyway through reconciliation and blame you for being obstructionist'. That ain't my idea of unity

Anon: "That was it, the democrats said 'here's what we want and if you don't support it we'll pass it anyway through reconciliation and blame you for being obstructionist'. That ain't my idea of unity."

It is difficult to attain "unity" when the opposing party is run by extremists who worship a cult figure. This cult figure, DJT, is a destructive force in our American democracy, and his followers/cultists are in the Senate and House.

I remember when Barak Obama was POTUS, and Mitch McConnell vowed to block every initiative put forth by Pres. Obama and to make him a one-term president -- which was, he said, his goal as Senate president.

Trump was hardly a unifying figure. He overturned every EO that President Obama passed as soon as he became POTUS, and undid very important agreements: The Paris Climate Accord and the Iran Nuclear Agreement (which is now being re-negotiated.)

I don't know if you were vocal about this sort of disunity that I briefly stated above. Maybe you were, there's no way of knowing, since "Anonymous" could be any number of people who comment here.

Our country is broken, and has been for a long time. To be upset with Pres. Biden for doing what he said he would do vis-a-vis legislation is, IMO, a tad disingenuous while ignoring the fact that a number of GOP US Senators and Representatives will not even concede that Joe Biden won the election and is the legitimate POTUS!

How does one govern a country when 30 - 35% of its population don't even believe you're its rightful president?

Joe Biden is not perfect, he could do better in many areas, that is true. But one area where he is magnitudes better than what Trump is is his humanity and decency. After suffering through these, what? 7 years of Trumpism, I believe that, above all else, is more important.

It's not up to Joe Biden alone to effect "unity." The "Let's Go Brandon" folks need to show some cooperation and willingness to acknowledge that Pres. Biden is the legitimate POTUS, and that Trump sold them a Big Lie about a stolen election. As long as Trump continues with his whining and lying about that, (he just demanded again this week that he be "reinstalled!) there will be no unity.

Shaw, that reply to my comment was the BIGGEST COP-OUT Excuse that I have ever heard.
Please do not take us for fools because you believe that Trump supporters are Idiots, when it's you Biden FOOLS who are CLEARLY the Fools.

To Anonymous:

Are you Neil Patel? Because that's who wrote the article "your comment" was taken from. And it's dated April 10, 2021.

If you are Neil, then thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to find my obscure blog and comment!

If you are not, then at least acknowledge the person whose work you plagiarized next time.

Who are you trying to emulate? Melania?

"I remember when Barak Obama was POTUS, and Mitch McConnell vowed to block every initiative put forth"

Now Ms Shaw you know that is not what was said. He did say we will do everything we can to make him a one term president but that is the stance of any party who is out of office.
I place no direct blame on aviator joey. He is given a speech and he reads it then walks off and heads to vacation. After the democrats had a horrible selection in 2016 they just wanted a warm body who would follow orders and that is what they got.

SOURCE:


"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday night bragged about blocking President Barack Obama’s attempt to fill federal judicial vacancies for two years. Then, he laughed about it as he discussed the Republican Party’s effort to stack the courts with conservative judges under President Donald Trump.

“I was shocked that former President Obama left so many vacancies and didn’t try to fill those positions,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said to McConnell.

Obama didn’t leave those vacancies so much as he was blocked from filling them by a GOP-controlled Senate led by McConnell ― something the majority leader was quick to point out.

“I’ll tell you why,” he said. “I was in charge of what we did the last two years of the Obama administration.”

Then, he laughed.

McConnell not only blocked federal judges, he prevented Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland from even getting a hearing. In 2018, McConnell told Kentucky Today that the decision to block Garland’s appointment was “the most consequential decision I’ve made in my entire public career.”





POLITICO:


"...with Republicans pledging to embrace an agenda for the next two years that sounds a lot like their agenda for the past two: Block Obama at all costs.

[skip]

Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We’re going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

Hey Shaw,

That "Anonymous" is TOM from Lisa's Latrine. He posted at your blog and at WYD.

You must have incredible patience Shaw. I mean to keep schooling adults, who should already know, on the actual factual information they apparently choose to ignore.

Les Carpenter said...

Perhaps true. And, the same can be said of the now trumpublican party. As we as so much more.

In reality TOM is merely projecting. Like most core trumpublicans.

Dave Miller said...

Shaw and others...

Don't waste time responding to Anon and "his" comment. Because it's not his. He plagiarized a real writer, Niel Patel, a man with whom we can disagree, but not a liar like Anon who steals others work, and posts it as his own.

Surely in America, everyone with a high school education knows that if you copy and paste, word for word, the work of someone else, you need to give credit. Or it is dishonest, lying and stealing.

But maybe Anon never finished high school or even got his GED, Lauren Boebert style.

Here's the original article.

What's amazing is that after Shaw commented on Anon's comment, he returned and had another chance to acknowledge it was not his writing she was responding to, and he kept silent.

We gotta ask why not?

Thanks for playing Anon...

Hey "Anonymous" TOM! It wasn't YOUR comment! That comment was Neil Patel's. Couldn't you at least acknowlege that once Shaw pointed it out? Say you forgot to give Patel credit?

Dave Miller said...

Skud... You are correct on the McConnell quote. But here's another from then Speaker Boehner...

"“We’re going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

But... there's always a but, isn't there? According to Time Magazine...

Immediately after the election Mitch McConnell [early 2009] in which they [the GOP] laid out their no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to a popular President-elect during an economic emergency. “If he was for it,” former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, “we had to be against it.”

Voinovich has never denied that remark. But wait there's more... again confirmed.

“I [VP Biden] spoke to seven different Republican Senators who said, ‘Joe, I’m not going to be able to help you on anything,’ ” McConnell had demanded unified resistance. “The way it was characterized to me was, ‘For the next two years, we can’t let you succeed in anything. That’s our ticket to coming back,’ ” Biden said.

Nothing Skud.

The plan wasn't to mold legislation to be more friendly to GOP interests, it was to stop all legislation they did not like or approve of, totally. No matter what.

So while McConnell did not utter those words directly, he certainly acted to make them true.

Dave Miller said...

Shaw... maybe some of your more challenged commenters are unaware of this thing called Google where you can actually look stuff up, fact check and give proper credit to people.

And be intellectually honest.

I guess in a perfect world both sides would do what is best for the country and not only what is best for them but that is no longer the case. I remember one politician say elections have consequences and then have his lackey block anything from the other side getting to the floor. We elect these idiots and then expect them to do the right thing which they are incapable of.

Grey One talks sass said...

skud, you have a binary issue when you said "I guess in a perfect world both sides would do what is best for the country and not only what is best for them but that is no longer the case."

Here, let me help: "I guess in a perfect world 'everyone' would do what is best for the country and not only what is best for them but that is no longer the case.

Binary thinking is so last century. Quantum computing demands we humans expand our understanding beyond on/off or zeroes and ones.

We also need to expand our vision and decision making processes to include the future seven generations guidelines embraced by many First Nations. After all, our founding fathers found the First Nations guidance so valuable that they included many ideas in our most sacred documents - the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Seems like more good ideas would be good for our nation, correct?

skudrunner said...

Grey, All for good ideas but we happen to rely on the elected elite and they are incapable because it might threaten their lush standard of living and the power we give them. We were founded on citizen legislators not lifetime professional politicians who wouldn't know what it is like to not be privileged. The founding fathers also were proponents of states rights and now the federalists want to have control over every citizen in all states. It would be disastrous for people to have a say because big brother knows best.
