You go to war with the army you got......

There is a timely and astute analysis of where we are by Professor William Jacobson the proprietor of Legal Insurrection. He discuss the fact that the Freedom Caucus might have blown their opportunity to govern with President Trump. He posits the notion that Trump is not a conservative. Which is very true. But he is willing to govern with conservative ideas. That he does not automatically dismiss them and is open to operating from a conservative perspective. As he did with his Supreme Court nomination. As he did with his cabinet selections. As he did with deregulation.

In the article he quotes a Bush era cuckmeister who none the less says something interesting. Marc Thiessen Bush Cuck speech writer said:"For weeks, as President Trump courted the group, members of the caucus used their leverage to make the bill better. They asked for language capping the maximum income to receive the tax credit — and got it. They asked to allow states to choose between a traditional block grant and a per capita block grant — and got it. They asked to allow states to impose work requirements on able-bodied Medicaid recipients — and got it. They asked for language preventing non-Medicaid-expansion states from becoming expansion states — and got it. They asked for flexibility for states to change “essential health benefits” — and got it.

But each time they got a concession, and were asked to support the bill, they instead came up with new sets of demands that made the legislation increasingly unpassable. Eventually it became clear to Trump that the Freedom Caucus would never take yes for an answer. So he cut them off ….

Freedom Caucus members had a chance to repeal the individual mandate and the employer mandate, transform Medicaid, end $1 trillion in Obamacare taxes, expand health savings accounts and defund Planned Parenthood. Instead, they chose to keep Obamacare intact."

Now Jacobson says you can just as easily say that the Freedom Caucus stood up for principle and would not bow to keeping the government in healthcare. That it should be a total free market and if people can't afford it well that's just tough titty.

She should have sent an email.

Hillary Clinton was true to herself. She has always been true to herself. When she lost to a Trumpslide she left her supporters, adherents, minions and button men high and dry. She couldn't face the music. Couldn't take the rap. She let her hairy armpit-ed lesbians and mincing pajama boys weeping and bewildered. She sent out a man to take the hit.

Trump won. Won big. I knew he would. I knew the "Bradley effect" would bring millions of white Americans to vote for the God Emperor to ascend to the Cherry Blossom Throne. I predicted a Trumpslide and it came to pass. All the negativity and lies purveyed by the mainstream media and covert Hillary supporters were for naught. It was as I said at the time a big bag of bullshit.

Ed and I were often called cultists and fools who excused everything that Trump did when in fact we called out his mistakes all the time. Well in his hour of Triumph I have to call out another of his mistakes. He had to make the speech he made last night. He had to compliment that odious criminal. But I hope he realizes that it was all bullshit. He was elected by people like me to drain the swamp. Hillary and Paul Ryan and all the rest are the swamp animals. He needs to follow through. As Sixty can tell you it is very dangerous to kill a snake. You can cut off it's head. But it can still bite you.

If Trump wants to accomplish anything he has to force Ryan and the establishment out of the levers of power and put his own people in. He will never have more leverage than right now. He needs to say to Paul Ryan "look I don't trust you...thank you for your service but I would rather work with someone else to Make America Great again. Your globalist amnesty agenda is not mine. So why not step back with the thanks of your party and let my team go in  to work with me."

He needs to move forward with a special prosecutor. He needs to force Obama to pardon her. He needs to investigate Holder and Lynch and Comey and exactly what happened with these emails. You can't just cover it up. He was not elected for that. The three most common chants at his rally's were: USA, TRUMP and LOCK HER UP! Letting it go is the way of the losers. I saw that porcine motherfucker Karl Rove and every other media whore saying how Trump has to be magnanimous to Hillary. No he doesn't. He can reach out to some of her voters. He can help black kids get the jobs that the establishment wants to give to illegals. He can go after Wall St whores that were Hillary's bankroll to give the Bernie Bros a hardon.  But he doesn't have to let Hillary's illegality slide. It is a big mistake if he does.

When Gotti took out Castellano he made the mistake of not taking out some of his loyal capo's. The response was that they put a remote controlled bomb in Frank Decicco's car and killed him. Gotti was supposed to be in that car. The Clinton Crime family will be doing the same thing.

The war is over. It is time to shoot the wounded. He will regret it if he doesn't and we will go back to the same bullshit that we have always had in Washington. He will never have more power than right now. He has to do it if he ever wants to have a successful Presidency. You can't trust traitors like Ryan and McCain and Bush and McConnell. You have to put your own guys in their to run the rackets. It's that simple. I hope he knows what hes doing. He should listen to what the press and the pundits say and then do the exact opposite.

It is the only way to Make America Great Again.

Donald Trump Forced CNN to Cover the Victims This Time

by JOEL B. POLLAK31 Aug 2016   Breitbart News.com

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump brought the parents of young Americans killed by illegal aliens onstage with him during his immigration speech in Arizona on Wednesday night — and this time, CNN was forced to cover their stories.

The last time the victims’ families had spoken collectively was onstage at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio in mid-July. On that occasion, CNN cut awayfrom the victims’ stories, turning instead to its usual panel discussion. As a result, voters were denied the opportunity to hear from citizens who have been routinely ignored by both political parties, but whose experiences and concerns are at the core of the seemingly intractable debate about American immigration policies.

Top Ten Signs your Child is Alt-Right

1. When you ask them to get up for school in the morning, they tell you that their school is a brainwashing camp for social justice warriors, and ask if they can go to a private school that doesn’t support white genocide.

2. You find suspicious amounts of pornographic anime on their hard-drive marked as “degenerate.”

3. When you ask them about their friends, they tell you that their friends are their “fam” and proceed to talk about “dank memes.” Meanwhile, they never have any of the other kids over at the house.

4. They refer to you as a “cuck” when you put on FOX News.

5. They refuse to do their chores because it is the current year.

6. They’ve carved ancient Nordic symbols into their wrists that “normiefags like you wouldn’t understand.”

7. You find a “Make America Great Again” hat which is hidden inside their sock drawer.

8. They refer to their curfew as “the downfall of Western civilization.”

9. When you ask them which Disney or Pixar character they want to show up to their birthday party, they scream at you and say: “I only want Pepe!”

10. They have a dartboard of The National Review on the wall above their bathroom nitelight.

Here is what Donald Trump said in his speech today.....but be sure to ignore it and talk about the latest media bullshit...maybe about how his campaign manager got "millions from the Russki's

So for all the trolls who want to change the subject here is some of what Trump said in his foreign policy speech in Youngstown today:

"Nor can we let the hateful ideology of Radical Islam – its oppression of women, gays, children, and nonbelievers – be allowed to reside or spread within our own countries.

This also means we have to promote the exceptional virtues of our own way of life – and expecting that newcomers to our society do the same.

Pride in our institutions, our history and our values should be taught by parents and teachers, and impressed upon all who join our society.

Assimilation is not an act of hostility, but an expression of compassion. Our system of government, and our American culture, is the best in the world and will produce the best outcomes for all who adopt it.

This approach will not only make us safer, but bring us closer together as a country.

Renewing this spirit of Americanism will help heal the divisions in our country. It will do so by emphasizing what we have in common – not what pulls us apart."

This is what we were speaking about yesterday. That Americas Judeo/Christian culture is superior to the dreck that these savages bring from their third world shit holes. Did you know that a Somali woman who married her brother in an immigration fraud scheme is the Democratic nominee to the Minnesota State legislature? And that the local media is refusing to cover it? The lying media will do anything to protect Hillary and they will do anything to produce a false narrative about Muslim immigration.

Trump said that Hillary wants to be the "Angela Merkel" of America.

Is that what America wants?

Old And Busted: Donald Trump Wins On First Ballot. New Hotness: A Scorched Earth Convention

By: streiff (Diary)  |  April 30th, 2016 at 06:02 PM  |

Tuesday will largely tell us how the GOP convention is going to go. If Ted Cruz wins in Indiana we are almost certainly headed for a contested convention in which Trump has zero chance of getting the nomination. I suspect that if Ted Cruz loses Indiana to Trump that the air is going to go out of the anti-Trump movement in the primaries and Trump will arrive in Cleveland with the requisite 1237 delegates that should assure him a first ballot nomination. But that may not be the case. Because the rules of the convention are both obscure and pliable.

Much of the current thinking is based on the assumption that Trump arriving at the convention with 1,237 bound delegates gives him the nomination and the GOP would either be forced to vote for him (the view of a lot of elected officials) or accept defeat in November in order to stop him, this is the view of the #NeverTrump movement. As I’ve pointed out before, this is sort of a fallacy. Just arriving with the delegates bound doesn’t mean that the delegates will actually vote. And there is growing movement among GOP delegates to say “Not No But Hell No” to the idea of Donald Trump hijacking the GOP for a reality television game plot based when he will have received a minority of GOP votes. This would see the convention transition from the idea of a contested one to one involving acres upon acres of scorched earth.'

Peggy Noonan: Patriotism Trumps Ideology

Wall Street Journal:  In my continuing quest to define aspects of Mr. Trump’s rise, to my own satisfaction, I offer what was said this week in a talk with a small group of political activists, all of whom back him. One was about to begin approaching various powerful and influential Republicans who did not support him, and make the case. I told her I’d been thinking that maybe Mr. Trump’s appeal is simple: What Trump supporters believe, what they perceive as they watch him, is that he is on America’s side.

And that comes as a great relief to them, because they believe that for 16 years Presidents Bush and Obama were largely about ideologies. They seemed not so much on America’s side as on the side of abstract notions about justice and the needs of the world. Mr. Obama’s ideological notions are leftist, and indeed he is a hero of the international left. He is about international climate-change agreements, and leftist views of gender, race and income equality. Mr. Bush’s White House was driven by a different ideology—neoconservatism, democratizing, nation building, defeating evil in the world, privatizing Social Security.

But it was all ideology.

Then Mr. Trump comes and in his statements radiate the idea that he’s not at all interested in ideology, only in making America great again—through border security and tough trade policy, etc. He’s saying he’s on America’s side, period.

What do you think of your Moses now......seeeeee!!!!!

I had an exchange with ace commenter Amartel. I said:
If Trump is going to write off anybody it should be the far right conservative intelligentsia and the neocons. There are plenty of hard right alt cons like me or guys like Sixty who will support him.
The Mark Levins and Glen Becks will never warm to him because they can not deal with the fans following somebody before them. They think they are God and that Trump is a false idol that Edward G Robinson whipped up to fool the masses that they have been feeding off of all of these years.
The pivot he is making in the general will get him a lot more votes than kowtowing to the hard right. The hard right people will follow him. The hard right opinion makers will be crying in their beer."

Amartel said...

Right, that's totally it. They're all just JEALOUS. Of Mr. Tells It Like It Is. Sir Art of the Dealmaker. 

Currently experiencing a bit of a hiccup with the actual making of deals.

I replied:

I think that you have to realize that this is a big part of the #NeverTrump band wagon. The peasants are revolting so to speak.

Levin and Rush and Beck and Coutler and O'Reilly and Hannity and Savage are basically hucksters. They are selling a product. Books, radio shows or tv shows. Some of them are more honest about it than others. Rush is by far the smartest of them. He knows that it foolish to dis Trump and pick him as the hill to die on. He recognizes a huckster with a great rap. I don't deny that Mark Levin is a principled guy at times but he is also ultimately a media huckster just like all the rest. He knows what Trump is and he recognizes elements of himself in it. If he doesn't he is foolish. I don't think he is a fool.

As Michael Jordon famously said "Even Republicans buy sneakers." You don't need to insult and denigrate your audience or a large segment of your potential audience. That is what the fools at NRO and the Weekly Standard are doing. Same with RedState and HotAir and Ace of Spades. Trump is a phenomena. A shooting star. He might go all the way. He might not. But you shouldn't stake everything on defeating him. Because you sure didn't do that on defeating Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Why is that? 

Donald Trump made a great speech about New York Values

Donald Trump made a very entertaining and informative speech at the Republican Gala in NYC last night. I don't know if you saw it but they played it in its entirety on FOX last night.

It wasn't really a political speech. In fact Trump said who wants to talk politics all the time. He said that was boring. In fact he talked about the fact the he built the hotel that the event was in the Grand Hyatt. He talked about the problems involved in keeping some of the historical facade while building out from the superstructure. Then he reminisced about other projects he had built. The Javits center on the West Side that I go to all the times for the lingerie show. The Wollman skating rink. Other buildings and Hotels and Wall St. Properties. He talked about dealing with New York Politicians like Hugh Carey and Ed Koch and movers and shakers like Richard Ravitch. Nostalgic names for me because I remember all those guys. He talked about the problems of building in New York. He told funny stories about building the ice skating rink in Central Park. How the government screwed it up. Used copper pipes that got ripped off every night. Used workers who were always on lunch breaks. How they poured concrete one truck at a time so it set wrong and was lopsided. He lined up all the trucks he needed to do a contiguous pour. Of course that was mobbed up concrete companies but whatever.

The important thing is he talked about things he had actually done. Things he had built. Landmarks in the city. Deals he had to make with sleazy politicians and unions and yes even the mobbed up companies that are part and parcel of the business environment. Something that Ted Cruz has never done. He has never built anything. He has never been responsible for meeting a payroll or finishing something at a deadline. In fact he is most famous for shutting down the government because they could not meet a deadline to complete the budget.

This was the real Donald Trump. At least the Donald Trump I know. Funny. Warm. Personable. Self depreciating at times. Still a big ego. Still grandiose and gauche. But a recognizable New York character. A mover and a shaker. A macher and a mensch.

He will make mistakes. He will fail here and there just the way he did in business. Because not every deal works out. But in the end he will have built something. Just like the hotel he was speaking in. Just like the Javitts Center or the Skating Rink. He will have left something other than a string of broken promises and failed bills.

You saw New York Values in action. You make the call.

New York Values

My old friend Jerry Rivers was on Bill O’Reilly the other night expounding on “New York Values” and what Ted Cruz the most conservativeman in the world was dog whistling when he said that in the Iowa caucuses. Jerry put his finger on it. It is basically an Anti-Semitic ploy to signal to people who hate those “New York Jews.”

I have seen this before. It is nothing new. It is Hymie town from Jesse Jackson. It is Ted Cruz not voting for benefits for the cops and fireman injured in the aftermath of 911. I get that a lot of the country hates New York and it’s people. New York is not for everyone. New Yorkers can be assholes. No doubt. We are very opinionated. We are always in a rush. We don’t have time for the slow and easy country style that is so prevalent out there in the rest of the country. We are not the laid back surfer style from Cali. It’s not for everyone.

It is all about class....if you don't believe me ask the BBC

I have long been convinced that this election is a "class  election." Not a liberal vs conservative split. Rather an Elites vs the Common Man election. A split that splits the parties. Families. Friends. People who have lost touch with their working class  roots turn to the elitists who scorn the people from which they came. A common human reaction. You see it all the time.

There is also a very strong unstated racial subtext. Well much less unstated than usual. The injection of Black Lives Matters and the blatant racism of Barack Obama has divided the country in a manner that we have not seen in a long time. Black Lives Matters has demanded a reaction to their demands. Well they are getting it. In spades. So to speak.

Of course this is not only my opinion. Many other people feel the same way.

The Conservative Estabishment has no use for me and thinks that my community deserves to die

I am working class. I have been working class all my life. Yeah I might have been in a white collar job and then owned a small business but I have always been a working stiff. Just like all of my friends and neighbors.. Of course our neighborhood has changed. Especially in the last five years.  The working class has  been priced out long ago. Those of us who held on because we owned a building are also being priced out. The rich hipsters and elites have moved in and bought up everything. The place I grew up is no more.

It is the same for many working class white people in the rest of the country. Coal miners in Kentucky. Factory workers in upstate New York. Auto workers in many, many red states. These are the places that are the targets of the Conservative intelligentsia that hates Donald Trump. One of the principal authors of the National Review Kevin Williamson states that he doesn't support any policies that would help the white working class. He states that their problems are not the result of immigration or trade policy but their own fault. As reported by Brietbart.com:

Williamson, a long-time critic of The Donald, essentially agrees that he doesn’t support any policies or rhetoric directly tailored to the working-class — particularly about jobs being taken by outsourcing and immigration — because it would be wrong to do so.

“It is immoral because it perpetuates a lie: that the white working class that finds itself attracted to Trump has been victimized by outside forces,” the NR roving correspondent writes. “[N]obody did this to them. They failed themselves.”

He then goes on to make the conclusion that it’s great these communities are dying out because they have a warped morality and are a dead weight on the economy.

“The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible,” the conservative writer says. “The white American under-class is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul. If you want to live, get out of Garbutt [a blue-collar town in New York.]”

So the prescription of the Conservative intelligentsia for "white" communities is that it is immoral to help or represent their needs and they should "die." Let me ask you something? These are the guys who hate Trump and champion Cruz and Rubio. This is what they think of the working class. Does that make you pause? Or are you going to tell me they are on the money and I should put my support behind Cruz and Rubio and Kasich?

Trump has ripped the mask off of the Conservative punditocracy. Williamson. Goldberg. Krauthammer. FOX news. They have shown what they think. They are the same as the ultra liberal media types they pretend to be at odds with in their commentary.

I find this just unbelievable and I don't understand how this guy can still have a job there. I guess he just embodies their  beliefs.

Melania Trump's Diary

So another debate is finished. We are getting really tired of all of these silly debates. One after another. The same gotcha questions from the same idiot journalists. Little Marco Jumping up and down like he has to pee. Cigar Store Indian Ted telling us the one true way to handle everything because he got it straight from the burning bush. The burning Jeb Bush I bet. And of course the Governor. What a live wire he is. He keeps bringing up all of his vast Radio Shack Experience in government. I just don’t think that advising Thomas Jefferson on the Louisiana Purchase is all that relevant these days if you know what I mean?

An Open Letter to the Conservative Movement.

By John Kluge March 3, 2016 (Hat tip to Vox Popoli)

Let me say up front that I am a life-long Republican and conservative. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life and have voted in every presidential and midterm election since 1988. I have never in my life considered myself anything but a conservative. I am pained to admit that the conservative media and many conservatives’ reaction to Donald Trump has caused me to no longer consider myself part of the movement. I would suggest to you that if you have lost people like me, and I am not alone, you might want to reconsider your reaction to Donald Trump. Let me explain why.

First, I spent the last 20 years watching the conservative media in Washington endorse and urge me to vote for one candidate after another who made a mockery of conservative principles and values. Everyone talks about how thankful we are for the Citizens’ United decision but seems to have forgotten how we were urged to vote for the coauthor of the law that the decision overturned. In 2012, we were told to vote for Mitt Romney, a Massachusetts liberal who proudly signed an individual insurance mandate into law and refused to repudiate the decision. Before that, there was George W. Bush, the man who decided it was America’s duty to bring democracy to the Middle East (more about him later). And before that, there was Bob Dole, the man who gave us the Americans with Disabilities Act. I, of course, voted for those candidates and do not regret doing so. I, however, am self-aware enough to realize I voted for them because I will vote for virtually anyone to keep the Left out of power and not because I thought them to be the best or even really a conservative choice. Given this history, the conservative media’s claims that the Republican party must reject Donald Trump because he is not a “conservative” are pathetic and ridiculous to those of us who are old enough to remember the last 25 years.

I am not a Racist, Sexist, Fascist or Madman....I didn't even play one on TV!

Every nincompoop commenter and douchnozzle pundit will  repeatedly slam Donald Trump for being a Reality Show star. They drip contempt from their condescending smug mugs while they promote fey Rent Boys and Frankenstein Monsters who never met a villager he couldn't alienate.

They don't realize something. Being a Reality Show star is his secret weapon.

You see he has been in every regular American's home for the past decade. Not George Will's house where they don't own a TV. Not Jonah Goldberg's house because he only watches the Food Channel. Not Anderson Cooper who is in a hot tub with Marco Rubio and Titus. The elites and the political class have no idea of what normal regular average unwashed Americans watch. For ten years.

Everybody knows you never go full retard.

Donald Trump let his hatred of the Bush family get the best of him last night. He has enjoyed giving Jeb wedgies and swirlies all primary season. So much so that Jeb’s Mommy had to get involved. Jeb’s Mom is the most involved Presidential mom in history. He mentions her in every speech. In every appearance. I mean the other candidates mention their parents. Ted Cruz’s Dad is a hero for his escape from Castro’s Cuba. John Kasich’s father is a hero because he had a vasectomy so that he didn’t knock up all of the housewives he banged when he was a mailman. Who needs more John Kasich’s running around for crying out loud? Marco Rubio is proud of his Dad for his orchestra and his hit recording of "Babalu.” I am sure that Ben Carson would be proud of his Dad but he is black so he probably doesn’t know who he is. And Donald Trump loved his Dad Fred because he was the first person to lend him money that he didn’t pay back. Memories.

When you tell the truth and throw political correctness out the window.....you will get a lot of support

This is the ad that Donald Trump is running in South Carolina. It is a story that Trump brought to the table that everyone else will ignore. Or cover up.

I guess that Jeb would call the murder of Jamiel Shaw a "Act of Love." Marco will tell us there is nothing we can do about it. John Kascih will tell us that we are not good Christians if we don't give full bennies and accept every diseased criminal that sneak over the border. Obama and Hillary and Bernie will tell us we have to let in more immigrants because that is "who we are." In fact Bernie says he will grant citizenship to all the illegals with a "stroke of a pen" if he is elected President.

Did you read the story about the Los Zetas Narco-terrorists in the Mexican state of Coahuila? It seems that they murdered thousands of innocent people who got in their way with the aid of corrupt Mexican politicians and police. Then they cremated the bodies to get rid of the evidence. Hmmmm. That reminds me of someone. I can't put my finger on it but it does sort of sound familiar. Whatever. There will never be a question about this in any of the debates. It is off the radar and will stay that way. Republican Big Business interest and vote hungry racialist Democratic politicians will join forces to suppress this and facilitate unrestrained immigration to take jobs away from the American People. The duopoly will do what it does.

Donald Trump is pretty confident. He is already announcing his cabinet picks!

The dreadful, desperate, and more than a little paranoid left-wing New York Daily News again went trolling against its enemies on the political right Tuesday night. This time, though, the Daily News did not attack powerful politicians or powerful organizations like the NRA. No, this time the Daily News attacked the powerless: the everyday American men and women who dared vote for Donald Trump in New Hampshire.

Like the Huffington Post’s earlier attacks on New Hampshire voters as “racist and sexists,” the Daily News attacked New Hampshire voters as “mindless zombies.”

Attacking voters.

There is nothing the powerful won’t do to hold on to their gilded trough in the failed status quo.

Wake up and smell what we are cooking.......because

You can count it. There are definitely enough of us to elect him President.

USA! USA! USA!
