WWG1WGA!

At Insty they're talking about the other place. You wouldn't even know that until you click through and read it.

The Insty commenters have quite a lot to say, so much that their discussion drifts to the incivility of Schiff straight out lying into the congressional public record right off the bat and then claiming all that was parody when everyone knows his base will hear only the first part, accept it as real, and agree. Then hear nothing more.

But none of the Insty commenters appreciate how the other place brings about such a piece. It's beautiful word play. That's all. That is her interest. And it is a thing of very real beauty. That is the beauty of the whole place.

The article she is riffing on uses the phrases "tender nerve endings" being hardened so much that they don't feel anything anymore, but some of us, still sensitive writers like him, a crackpot, can still feel the damage that Trump does. And soon the "dam" will break and all that is held back will spill out and people will feel again and that will ruin Trump. I guess.

The other place uses that as basis to extrapolate further and she does it beautifully. It's an interesting way to write and it's very interesting to read. She gives her post the civility bullshit tag. Because the incivility of Shiff is ignored while the countering incivility of Trump is highlighted.

Incivility pffft. Did Trump change pencil-neck to pencil-dick? Did I miss something?

Anyway back at Insty comments responding to this post at the other place, someone writes:

* waiting for the perp walks.

     ** If I'd dug in a hole every time someone promised perp walks I'd be eating breakfast in China this morning. I know the wheels of justice turn slowly but my patience has worn thin, so much that I don't have much faith in the wicked being punished.

          *** We didn't see the McCain perp walk. Or the GHW Bush perp walk either. Optics. Mr. Cohen taught our beloved and duly elected President that judges were the key to winning. It takes a little while to get the judges. Plenty of perp walks already. Examples include: Epstein, Buck, Weinstein, yesterday's Chinese spy arrest in DiFi and Pelosi's jurisdiction.... Do you think that was a coincidence? WWG1WGA! Swamp being drained. The world is waking up. Preference cascade in motion. D5 Avalanche. The globalist, deep state, cabal can NOT stop this. :)

How promising. How optimistic. How cheerful. Will you please stop writing in acronyms? It makes my gears spin. They love that crap in the military. It's their favorite word game. He's got real names with abbreviated names, letter abbreviations and partial name abbreviations mixed with anagrams. In another post he mixes internet anagrams with Trump campaign anagrams.

WTF is WWG1WGA you AH?

Gears spin.

Gives up.

Looks it up.

Where we go one we go all.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Now that is optimistic.

These people write the laws. They change the rules as needed. They protect themselves through the system that they control. Fat chance of them ever being actually prosecuted. The worst that can happen is they lose an election and their supporters are pleased with their conduct.

Would you like to see something insanely stupid? It drives the point.




It's about Canadian liberals so it's an imprecise template.

Kate at Smalldeadanimals linked to Conrad Black who wrote an essay about America.

I don't like it.

Not one bit.

He's such a butt hole fer'ner.

His perspective on America is typical Zinn.

He is responding to some other guy who wrote "Donald Trump's Luck is About to Run Out."

Black disputes that.

But first he has to run through his Zinn handbook.

* Canadians want someone in the White House whom they can disparage.

* His problem isn't what Canadians think of Trump, rather, his problem is Canadian purblindness of current Canadian journalistic political comment on Trump.

Purblindness. That word signals Black wants to be regarded smarter than his readers. He needn't bother. His readers are dopes. And they prove it in comments. That's the insanely stupid thing that I'm getting at.

* Out of public spiritedness he will remind his readers of certain things about America. Apparently he must do this before stating his point about Canadian journalist purblindness.

And so on, point for point about what makes America a shit hole compared to Canadian utopia.

As American with no party to represent me I read "Canadian Journalist" as "Canadian Propaganda" straight up that Canadians generally accept as general wisdom received from on High.

They're the most worked up bumbling thick-headed political-idiots you're ever likely to meet. Not at all as my Dad described them by staying with his Edmonton relatives in his youth and visiting again as a military officer. My dad's perception was pinched.

Traveling by train from Calgary to Vancouver, this was apparent the very first moment. Exchanging money at the train station I said innocently, "Oh, pretty."

The currency really is pretty.

The State employee snapped sharply and rudely, "Well, at least we can tell the denomination."

Touchy are we? (So can we. Right off by the numbers, you dope.)

I'll be careful. About Canadian touchiness. Lesson learned in the first minute.

The next morning at breakfast a man in a nearby booth overheard our morning discussion and ID us as American. He approached our table aggressively and insisted on engaging an unwanted political discussion. At breakfast! With two perfect strangers.

My ex-Naval officer friend told me to shut up. He told me not to engage the Canadian aggressor. Let him say whatever he pleases about Reagan but don't argue. Don't respond.

And he was so f'k'n stupid! Everything the man said demanded an argument. And I'm told to shut up as best way to keep peace.

Right off the bat I'm pissed off at Canadians who can speak all the bullshit they want but not be spoken to.

Fuck that noz.

People on the train were lovely. The train ride is quite extraordinary. It really is a trip worth taking and I'm glad that I took it. And not all people are this way. For example, I sat next to an old woman on a bus in Calgary who reminded me of my grandmother.

I said, precisely enunciating every t and d, "Nice day to be out and about, isn't it?"

She ignored me.

I'd rather an old lady not ignore me. Considering her my grandmother, I turned my body to face hers and said directly into her face, "I said, nice day to be out and about. Isn't it? "

"Oh yes ... blah blah blipptiy blah blah blah blah." I couldn't get the woman to stop talking.

But it did take two taps.

Once the train was in Vancouver it became apparent the political left was out of control. They had marked up every blank space of exterior walls with political graffiti. All anti-American politics.

"US out of Nicaragua !"

That sort of thing.

Wtf business is that of Canadians? Why would they mar their own wall with that kind of crap? Who's got them  all worked up about Reagan foreign policy? Why do they even care? FO already.

My impulse was to spray paint over it, "Bite my American dick, you silly-ass Canadian."

Now imagine American walls marked up with anti-Canadian graffiti.

At a very young age I considered them all to be too torqued out of shape to engage seriously. I'd have to undo a lifetime of State/media-indoctrination and Homey ain't got time for dat.

The comments to the Black article are perfectly impossible. Each one despises Black and says something perfectly irrelevant to the article he wrote. Why are they even reading him when they despise him so much? Each one presumes they're issuing their highest wisdom possible that's actually the lowest common denominator. It's one stupid-shit comment after another such that the whole thing is a huge vat of worked up crackpots each quite insane.

And pathetically stupid.

A few days ago I linked to a list of 87 impeachable offenses by Trump. The further you go down the list the funnier it gets.

One of the commenters has the first five entries as if those were real offenses. As if they were brilliant for providing them. As if there aren't 82 more. It's the exact same stupid shit. All. over. again! Goddamnit they're stupid.

And not just regular stupid.

No, they're chiseled in stone hardcore monolithically immovably resolutely stupid. And eager to show you how smart they are and how wrong you are. To be an American.

I urge you to click over, skip the Black article, and read through the comments to see for yourselves the general Canadian political attitude. It's retarded. Gigantically so. As if all the gods in all the pantheons are all retarded. That's how pathetic it is.

And it absolutely deflates any desire to visit that country again.

Maybe the French side is better. I don't know. I doubt it.

I have friends who love visiting Montreal. Back and forth they go. All the time. They're liberals themselves so somewhat similar maybe they fit right in. I don't know. I just don't see how I could stand it, being there even for one more minute.

It's hard for me being the pillar of sanity and strength as I am standing tall in a crashing ocean of weakness.

I said that one time in a serious argument with a friend and he cracked up laughing and there went my whole argument. But that is the picture I hold. Quit laughing. It's not funny.

The Professor is a very good writer but you are a great narrator Chip.

It's probably true that Schiff's "creative" account of Trump's conversation with the Ukrainian PM doesn't rise to the level of treason. But you'd think Republican representatives would at least put forward a motion that he be censored by the House. So what if Nancy refused to let it come to the floor for a vote. At least THAT would be on the record. But no, as usual nada.

There is no end in site for trenchant warfare. Neither side is budgeting an inch. What's needed -- as in 1916 -- are new tools for waging war with words. And by "tools" I don't mean trolls. That strategy is so last election.

Canadians are stuck up for the most part. Never forget that they opposed our War for Independence and sheltered the enemy after the war.

Conrad Black (in Chip's link) states some pretty obvious facts for anyone who lived through the past several Presidents:

...GDP growth per capita in the U.S. declined from 4.5 per cent under Reagan to 3.9 per cent under Clinton, to two per cent under George W. Bush, to one per cent under Obama, and the Americans were not going to stand for what they feared (instinctively) would happen next under the Democrats. They were right. With Trump, working and lower-middle class earnings have risen 3.4 per cent annually, average income for female-led, single-parent homes rose 7.6 per cent, defined poverty in such households among African-American and Hispanics fell by 3.5 per cent, and the number of defined poor people declined by over five million. Illegal immigration has been reduced by 60 per cent; oil imports, which were five million barrels a day four years ago, are zero (on a net basis), and in absolute terms, China has ceased to gain in GDP on the United States, and the concept of nuclear non-proliferation has been revived in respect of Iran and North Korea (who swindled Trump’s predecessors).

Each and every one of the Democratic candidates makes promises that would be ruinous to all but destitute illegals and already overcompensated government workers and their coterie of DC lawyers.

No, they sheltered Loyalists. That was our first civil war. Very few actually left.

And most of them returned eventually.
