As of this moment in time, still thinking that Biden remains – he’s really digging in his heels (or Hunter and Jill are) and he is garnering some public support among Democrat electeds. There are still a few Democrats calling for him to step aside but the numbers are small and it can often be seen a tactical: they’re in areas where Democrats are weak and Democrats are always forgiving of Democrats who do what it takes to survive.
I think, bottom line, that its really too late to swap out. Not based on law. Laws don’t matter to Democrats. If they were really determined to push Pudding Brain out, they’d do so and rely on friendly Democrat judges and squishy cooperative GOPers to ensure the new guy is on the ballot in all 50 states. Its too late because getting someone new in and trying to ramp up a national campaign with a new candidate is just entirely too forlorn. Democrats know they are headed for defeat – they could have pushed Biden out 9 months ago, but now it is just too late. On to the end – maybe a miracle shows up, but keeping Biden is now at the very least no worse than hitting the eject button. It is now all about down-ballot. At the moment, most State-by-State polling shows Democrats doing ok – it looks like they’ll lose the House and Senate but only by a few seats in each…but that is the polling. This polling screens for Presidential-year voters…who only show up every four years.
And that is the problem Democrats really have – the Presidential-year Dem-leaners aren’t going to show up in sufficient numbers if it gets into the public mind that Biden is done for. This could be catastrophic for Democrats. If even five million such people become stay-at-homes then what is now a narrow Congressional loss could become a landslide loss…all sorts of Dem House and Senate candidates who are up by even 5 to 7 right now could end up losing. And so I just saw a Rosen (D-NV) Senate ad lauding her for fighting to secure the border; an egregious lie, of course, but it indicates that even with polling showing her substantially up over Sam Brown, the GOP Candidate, she’s concerned about losing the race on the right.
Team Biden is still going with “he’s vigorous as heck!”. In fact, they even have surrogates out there going, “hey, where’s Trump?”. Basically implying that since Trump isn’t on the stump right now, it is Trump who is feeble while the vigorous and manly Biden is out on the trail. Of course, Trump is wisely holding back – while your opponent is self-immolating, just shut up and let him do it. Remember, we’re only here right now because Team Pudding Brain issued a debate challenge they clearly thought Trump would decline. Had they not done that, this would be going a lot differently right now (and a heck of a lot more funny if June’s debate happened in September and it was only at that moment Democrats realized they’re screwed). Trump is naturally delighted with how it went and as he preps for the RNC and the Veep selection, there’s no need for him to do anything.
Especially as the latest RCP average has Trump up something like 3.3. I might be slightly wrong on that – it might be more. But, no matter: as I’ve said – and everyone says – for Biden to have a shot as scraping by with 270 Electoral Votes, he’s got to be up by 3 nationally. Trump up by 3+ puts this entirely out of reach. Trump was narrowly winning pre-debate. He’s comfortably ahead now (many forecasters have taken GA, AZ and NV out of the “tossup” realm and put them “Lean-R”…and an argument can be made that PA is “Lean-R” – and, if so, that is game over). Trump is in the driver’s seat here. Lots of things can happen, of course, but it is also a well-known fact of political life that usually in June the thing is pretty baked in. Takes something really major to shake it up. Unfortunately for Biden, most of the major things that can happen are bad for him (another mental breakdown live, Ukraine being defeated, inflation spiking, that sort of thing).
The French election went as I expected – the Left convinced that squish “Right” to vote Left to keep the “far Right” out. Do keep in mind that when they say “far Right” they mean “middle class French patriots”. It is the same as when they call you and I “MAGA extremists”. Looks like Le Pen’s party actually got the most votes – and by a substantial margin. But by the quirks of French election process, her party came in third, seat-wise. This has caused a lot of heartache on the French Right (as it should) but I tell them to buck up – a decade ago there were like 4 French patriots in Parliament. Now there’s 150. And while the Left is trying to forge a governing coalition (no party obtained an absolute majority) it already looks unstable…with plenty of the squish Right being dismayed that the Left now wants 100% of their program enacted. I expect a good portion of the squish Right to defect to Le Pen’s party…and they might have to call another snap election if a stable government can’t be formed.
The Brit’s, on the other hand, are screwed. Labour obtained an unassailable absolute majority. Moving swiftly they have already announced they will let a bunch of criminals out of jail. Not kidding. This is apparently a high priority for Labour. No, they didn’t campaign on that. The Left never campaigns on what they’re going to actually do. They learned that lesson in the 1980’s when in both the US and UK the Left did campaign on what they wanted and they got electorally wiped out. Since then, it has always been like this:
“We’ve passed the free ice cream for everyone law!”
“Cool! When do I get my ice cream?”
“Ice cream? We’re here to shoot your dog.”
I don’t see how the UK comes back from this – the Labour government is going to import a couple million Muslims and give them citizenship to make sure Labour never loses again. Think I’m kidding? I’ve seen videos of new-minted Labour officials dressed entirely in Muslim garb and with only Muslim flags being waved by the crowds. One does have to remember that Leftists – all Leftists, everywhere – hate their own country and their own people. Its why Labour is rushing through the release of criminals…they want these criminals to prey upon the British people. To the Left, the British people are evil and now they’re going to get what’s coming to them.
Blogs For Victory 
Just watched the entire debate (I was traveling when it happened). Biden definitely looked terrible, but frankly, Trump didn’t look that good either. Trump was allowed to lie like crazy, talk past his time limit, and wasn’t called on any of it. He also mangled a lot of words and didn’t answer most of the questions. If the MSM wasn’t all owned by Trump supporters, the story might have been a little different.
Since the debate, been campaigning all across the country while Tump has played a lot of golf and called in a few wacky sounding interviews to RW hosts.
Biden isn’t going to leave the race. To do so would basically concede the whole thing. And there there are some things that could really hurt Trump it the MSM ever decides to cover them.
The Epstein documents were released and Trump’s name pops up a lot. Between phone messages, flight logs, and mentions by victims it seems that Trump and Epstein spent a lot of time together and it probably wasn’t playing chess. There are also more pictures of Trump and Epstein together online than there are of Trump and a couple of his kids.
The 2025 project is finally being covered and surprise, people don’t like it. It’s basically MAGA Mein Kampf. Trump is trying to distance himself from a document authored by a number of people who worked for him, which is only bring more attention to the document.
And finally, Abortion is on the ballot in a number of States which will bring out a lot of voters who don’t like having their rights taken away.
I had no idea that the entirety of mainstream media was owned by Trump supporters, thanks for pointing that out. So I guess all that negative reporting on Trump over the last 8 years was all a “cheap fake”. Who knew?
Casper, do you think women in CA, NY, IL, WA, and OR to name a few, had their “abortion rights” taken away? And why would you object to autonomous people making decisions about the laws they prefer to enact in their own State? You know, that democracy thing, over your apparent preference of having nine unelected robed judges to make that decision for the entire country. Wouldn’t that be considered an activist court? I thought you opposed that.
The true colors of the Biden family are being exposed. Does anyone remember Vincent “the Chin” Gigante? He was a notorious mafia boss in NY who slowly went senile, but the capo bosses underneath him hid that from the rank and file because they had such a good thing going. Jill and Hunter are doing the same thing. It is all unraveling, hence the latest and desperate attempts to tie Trump to Epstein. It’s fun watching Democrats eat their own.
Geesh, dude; you’re an MSM Talking Point Machine!
For your own peace of mind, drop the idea that Joe is doing well. Or can do well. Or that endless abortion ads will save the Dems. The abortion ads are 24/7 here in Nevada and they’ve got a completely pointless pro-abortion initiative on the State ballot (abortion is already legal via the State Constitution)…but that sort of thing only matters if all the Dem-leaning Independents show up in November. The problem Pudding Brain and the Democrats have is that because Pudding Brain is a senile failure, not as many of those types will show as needed. That is why, as I said, Rosen is running “tough on the border” ads as well…she’s worried (rightly) that stroking upper class urban white chick fear on abortion won’t be enough. The whole reason Democrat donors are pulling the plug to force Joe out is because of this fear that the soft voters won’t show up.
casper, your filters are amazing! How they manage to reverse facts to make them fit into your teeny tiny little Leftist-addicted brain is truly a feat. You saw a completely different debate than the rest of the world did, though naturally the MSNBC version is the one you find most appealing. Trump did not go past his time limit, and the whine that he lied repeatedly is, somehow, conveniently, never backed up with examples. (I remember catching one exaggeration, where he said something was “four times” more than something else.) You people pounce on an exaggeration of a fact and call it a lie, but ignore the blatant out-and-out lies of Biden, such as the one about “losers and suckers” or “very fine people”. Everyone knows those are lies, have been proved to be lies, but Biden knows there is a small contingent of true believers who love them as much as he does, so they remain in his scripts.
Thanks for tipping us off on the latest Lefty smear campaign. So now it’s Epstein. Of course a mediocre teacher in a small school in a small city would have no way to know this, but millionaires and billionaires associate with each other with their pants on. There are social events and political events that have absolutely no sexual content, but to a certain mentality, which lives in the gutter, this can be used against them. I see you obediently quoting what your masters have told you—-“There are also more pictures of Trump and Epstein together online than there are of Trump and a couple of his kids.” Too bad you’re not smart enough to pick up on that key word—“online“. What goes online? What some people want online, PUT online, to make a point or influence public opinion. And “a couple of his kids”. Which kids? Why the qualifier? You’re about as analytical as a turnip, as you so eagerly slurp up whatever slop is tossed to your by your masters.
What, exactly, do you find offensive or objectionable about the 2025 Project? Oh, you can regurgitate the lines you found so witty when you heard them on MSNBC, but have you actually READ the project? Do you know what it says? What it means? Of course not. Why burden yourself with facts when you have people who do your thinking for you, generate a few buzzwords designed to appeal to a certain mentality, and feed you your talking points? What about the phrase Make America Great Again chaps your donkey? Why does that offend you? Which “people” don’t like the ideas in Project 2025? What, precisely, do THEY find offensive about it? Why?
In other words, this blog is not designed to be a fawning review of everything you hear on MSNBC, which appears to the sole remaining holdout of hardcore Leftist insanity now that CNN is catching on to the reality that being so openly a lickspittle lapdog of the radical Left is a bad business model plus a recipe for well-earned ridicule.
You’re even still babbling about abortion being a “right”. Nope, never was, never will be. It’s an action which is allowed under some circumstances in some places. But then you never have had a very good understanding of the Constitution, so naturally you are confused about the term “rights”. A “right” is an important element of humanity, such as the right to life (which you deny) and the right to liberty (which you deny). There is no “right” to kill an innocent defenseless unborn human being because it is inconvenient. Sadly, there is the ability to do so, made necessary by the existence of pathologically selfish females, and there is the multi-billion dollar industry protecting its interests with massive propaganda campaigns directed at the weak of character, but there is no “right”.
casper, I’m going to say this with the same degree of anticipation that it will result in an actual response that I would have if I asked my cat to do algebra, but knowing in advance that you can’t/won’t be able to respond I’ll do it anyway.
EPA needs to be realigned away from attempts to make it an all-powerful energy and land use policymaker and returned to its congressionally sanctioned role as environmental regulator.”
Some other time we might delve into the odd lack of self awareness of a political movement that tries to link Nazis and Hitler to its political opposition in efforts to defame it, while simultaneously being openly and publicly identified with the same elements that made Nazis and Hitler representatives of brutality, oppression, tyranny and human rights offenses: forcing people to inject dangerous experimental drugs to retain basic rights; anti Semitism to the point of advocating for genocide of Jews; using government agencies to suppress political opposition through intimidation, arrest and imprisonment; control of media; collusion with industry (Big Pharma) and weaponizing law enforcement agencies to become arms of the political movement and act as modern-day Gestapo with dawn raids and ritual public humiliation of political targets.
Hmmm casper won’t answer questions that require him to acquire information, process it and communicate his conclusions, because he does none of these things. He merely searches out talking heads who echo his own primitive concept of politics and his own Identity Politics and then, after wallowing in the toxic stew that attracts him so he looks for places to regurgitate it.
Unfortunately for him, this is not one of those places, because his foolish fantasies and ridiculous lies only get the contempt they deserve, and so, by the way, does he.
Amazona, I’m going to make it simple for you. Mein Kampf was plan to turn Germany into a fascist State. Project 2025 is a plan to turn the United States into a fascist State.
No, its not – there is absolutely no similarity between the two programs.
But, more importantly, Cook moved Minnesota to “Leans D” today. So you have fun.
Oh, and there are reports the Democrat internal polls show Trump up 10 in PA.
One more thing: a Democrat in a New Jersey D+6 House district has just called for Biden to step down.
And, so very very predictably, casper opens yet another door into yet another facet of his ignorance..
Fascism is a Leftist political construct based on consolidation of power in the hands of a few, with top-down government by a few elites ruling from a massively powerful Central Authority. It is, therefore, antithetical to the political structure outlined in the Project 2025 document, which is about returning the United States to its original, Constitutional, form of governance. That is, a federal government restricted in its size, scope and power with most authority left to the states or to the people.
So here casper (1) illustrates his ignorance of the political structure of fascism, (2) illustrates his blind acceptance of Leftist narratives no matter how stupid or downright wrong they may be, and (3) illustrates the fact that he simply cannot, or possibly will not, read the document and cite the elements in it that offend him and therefore cannot, or will not, give a straight declarative answer to my questions.
So no, casper, you did not make it simple for me. Oh, you made it simple, but that was for you because “simple” is the best you can do. No one can be surprised that when “simple” comes from you it equals “simple minded”.
You did not answer my Question # 1 because all you did was regurgitate some nonsense some Lefty talking head had spouted. But let’s move on to the other questions you are trying to duck:
casper, please cite the segments of Mein Kampf that were, as you put it, designed to “turn Germany into a fascist State”. In what ways were Hitler’s ideas different from the existing Leftist governance of Germany, by the National Socialist Party? What shifted Germany from socialism to fascism? What were the differences between the two?
What, in the Project 2025 document, signals a shift to a more Leftist, centralized, government? While many try to attach the words “right-wing” to fascism, when seen through the lens of international politics even the term “right” is impossible to pin down, as efforts are always aligned with ISSUES more than actual political ideology so if we, in the United States, want to talk about fascism and Left vs Right we have to do so in the context of American politics.
Clearly that list of characteristics at the end of this paragraph describes the American Left.
But back to that growing list of questions you keep trying to dodge and duck by doing your imitation of monkeys throwing their poo.
We’re not sure if everyone is aware, but Project 2025 is SCARY, Y’ALL.
And sheeple casper, while predictably late to the party, is trying to catch up with the cool kids in their manufactured hysteria.
The modern Progressive agenda has much more in common with Fascism than anything ever produced by The Heritage foundation, from rampant antisemitism, to massive public/private partnerships, to censorship and persecution of political adversaries, to spying on citizens, to violence as a political tool, just to name a few.
My original point was that most Americans when confronted with the contents of Project 2025 don’t like it. That might be why Trump has tried to distance himself it in the last couple of days. He has also tried to distance himself from a nation wide abortion ban, going so far as to make the national committee eliminate that as a plank. Both are losing issues and Trump knows it.
And no, Amazona, I’m not going to waste my time answering your stupid questions. They have nothing to do with my main point and we both know that regardless of what I write you will find it insufficient.
“Most Americans” don’t like Project 2025? Really? How many have even heard of it, and of those how many have read it? I think you mean most Americans who watch MSNBC, which really narrows it down a LOT.
You snivel: “I’m not going to waste my time answering your stupid questions. ” Stupid? They relate directly to what you said
“They have nothing to do with my main point” which is…what? You claim that Project 2025 is like Mein Kampf, but can’t explain how or why except for that silly thing referencing “fascism” which, I guess, is another of your “points” and you can’t explain that either
“and we both know that regardless of what I write you will find it insufficient.” but it would be nice if you could surprise me and come up with something NOt ‘insufficient’.
You seem to have only one “major point” which is to pretend that there is only one human being in the equation involving a decision to have an abortion. Otherwise, you skitter around like a flea on a hot skillet, from one senseless MSNBC talking point to another.
“Most Americans” don’t like Project 2025? Really? How many have even heard of it, and of those how many have read it?
That’s why it’s important to spread the word.
“They have nothing to do with my main point” which is…what? You claim that Project 2025 is like Mein Kampf, but can’t explain how or why except for that silly thing referencing “fascism” which, I guess, is another of your “points” and you can’t explain that either
I didn’t say I couldn’t explain why Project 2025 is like Mein Kampf, I’m just not going to waste my time explaining it here. Funny how many other people I’ve discussed it with figure it out on their own.
What “word” are you spreading? Because from what you have spread here, it’s just a couple of feeble generalities that are lifted from the propaganda mill of an increasingly frantic Left.
I admit that Project 2025 could be like Kryptonite to big-government, Central Authority, rule-by-elites Leftists, because it does talk about getting back to basics like keeping legislation in Congress and returning federal agencies back to their charter and undoing the mission creep that has them acting like a de facto fourth branch of government. Anything to do with Constitutional governance IS “scary” to the authoritarian Left, so it’s no surprise that a thoughtful treatise on how to accomplish this has you and your kind peeing down your legs in panic. The thing is, your masters are at least freaked out because they understand that this, if successful, would set their agenda back for decades, while you are melting down because they told you to. They are ideologues, while you are just a useful idiot.
And don’t think for a minute that your bluster about why you won’t answer any of my questions is fooling anyone. It is obvious that you can’t answer these questions, because answers would depend on (1) reading the material; (2) understanding the material; and (3) having the mental capacity to formulate a response. You are clearly unqualified on all counts. (3) in particular is a threat to you, because if you have the mental capacity to formulate a response you also have the mental capacity to understand that an honest answer will always indict your chosen political system, and even through the fog of your ignorance you understand the dangers of exposing the defects and lies of your chosen narratives. Between your laziness, your stupidity and your willingness/eagerness to lie, you’re pretty much stuck in the hole you have chosen for yourself, where you seek out the open trench latrines of Leftist shit so you can glory in the stink and then buzz around trying to infect others with the stench of lies and hatred that attracted you.
Every post you dump here has a banner above it, easily read by any who are familiar with you, that says WANT TO SEE HOW STUPID I AM? READ THIS!
“I didn’t say I couldn’t explain why Project 2025 is like Mein Kampf” but actually, that’s exactly what you said without actually saying it. You can’t. You can’t because that would be like explaining why a cat is like a carburetor. You can’t because one is about consolidating power in the hands of a few elites, while the other is about returning to a Constitutional model of governance in which authority is retained by the people and the federal government’s role is small and defined. You can’t because they are antithetical to each other. You can’t because your fatuous little snot-nugget was based on nothing more than a vague sense that Mein Kampf is all Hitlery, so it is a handy if brainless insult to mindlessly toss out.
But basically it comes down to the core of everything about you. You just can’t.
Casper, saying that it would turn the us into a Facist state is what you call a lie. One of the things you accuse Trump of. Look up Fascism as you evidently have no idea what it is and then say how, with specific examples, project 2025 turns the US into that.
Ask away, Ryan. I’ve been trying to pin down the weasel for a couple of decades now, trying to get him to define his political beliefs or even just the structures of the things he defends, and all he does is ignore me or try to hide behind the words of others.
This is where the dependence on identity comes in. Nearly every so-called definition of fascism relies on the association of it to “The Right”—but “The Right” is conveniently never defined. It’s always just some vague, nebulous (but definitely very sinister and threatening, though “sinister” in Latin means “left” but that’s another theme for another time) so once “fascism” is linked with “right-wing” then all the mindless minions need to do is squeal “Republicans are fascists!”
That’s why I always ask for definitions of political structure not just facile labels. Jonah Goldberg, back before his brain broke under the strain of Trump hatred, wrote an excellent book called “Liberal Fascism” which is painstakingly documented in its history of fascism as a Leftist political construct. Thomas Sowell referred to this book: “A wealth of challenging insights, backed up by thorough research and brilliant analysis. This is the sort of book that challenges the fundamental assumptions of its time. Get a copy and start rethinking the received notions about who is on ‘the Left’ and who is on ‘the Right.’ ”
casper, in spite of his pompous posturing as one dedicated to IDEAS and eager to participate in discourse, will continue to avoid this book like a vampire dodging garlic, but even going through the cited references would blast the beloved Leftist belief about fascism out of the water.
Sowell is very precise in how he uses words, so pay attention to the quotation I cited about his review of “Liberal Fascism” He does not say the book will challenge PERceived notions “about who is on ‘the Left’ and who is on ‘the Right” but about REceived notions That is, about notions of who is on the Left and who is on the Right that have been RECEIVED through constant, intense messaging.
try again Casper. He didn’t lie.
Amazona,
Since you like to evaluate the comments of others please spend some time explaining some of the things Trump said today. Then explain why the Republican Party isn’t looking to replace this guy.
He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory. He said he didn’t know what NATO was. He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.” He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there. He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds. He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.” He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell. He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit. He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job. He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.” He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour. He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late. He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf. He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants. He said migrants are “preying on everybody.” He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.” He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.” He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country. He babbled about facelifts. He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about. He claimed Biden has more homes than him. He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now. He complained some more about the hot weather. He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.” He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich. He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.” He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names. He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going. He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President. He said Israel “had no money.” He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian. He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba. He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC. He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath. He told people to “vote whenever you want.” He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers. He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud. He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.” He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.” He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.” He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses. He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.” He forgot how to say the word “economy.” He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.
No, you get to wallow in your sad sour TDS all by yourself, or with your fellow travelers. I’m not getting sucked into one of your pathetic bickerfests. You always lack credibility, but your use of the word “insurrectionists” seals the deal. And much like the observation that Joe Biden did not write that letter to Congress, I doubt that you wrote this pissy little screed after watching Trump, but rather pulled a Biden and used someone else’s word. It’s no doubt an accurate portrayal of your emotional need to pretend that Trump is as bad as Biden, but it reeks of the Agenda Media version of “journalism”.
It’s looking like that new wife and new life in glorious Hawaii aren’t as fulfilling as you hoped for, given the vast amount of time you spend wallowing in the cesspool of Leftist narratives and obsessing about every aspect of Donald Trump.
But the funniest thing about your litany is that even if every single thing in it was true, Donald Trump is still vastly superior to Joe Biden.
In the future TDS will be defined as Members of the MAGA cult.
And I didn’t write the pissy little screed after watching Trump. The person who did a great job, so why reinvent the wheel. Would you like the link to it? And I’m not pretending that Trump is as bad as Biden. He isn’t. He’s much worse. I have to give you credit though. You aren”t dumb enough to try to justify all the crazy things Trump said.
And my life with my new wife and life really is glorious. Get up, fix a breakfast using ingredients from out place, take a swim, do a little hike, and enjoy the activities available then start over the next day with more. That’s one of the reasons I care so much about this election. Bringing back the worst president in our county’s history would ruin it for all of us.
You are a child Casper. Your thinking is more in line with a 7th grader, than a mature adult.
Cluster, his “thinking” is more in line with a Hallmark card than his reality. This blubbery walrus swims and hikes and engages in all sorts of “activities” while sharing a wonderful marriage with a wonderful new wife? That’s about as realistic as his political and cultural delusions, about that “glorious” life where he engages in so much, so very much, discourse with people who all agree with him while sharing their most private histories because he’s just such a darned good listener, and happens to know someone who represents pretty much every scenario anyone comes up with,.
Think of that guy in The Office, Kevin Malone, to get a visual of casper, and then avoid thinking of him in a swimming suit. The thing about liars is that they lie, and casper is a proven serial liar. His political party is glorious, his president is glorious, his life is glorious, blah blah blah. He’s a sad pathetic hate-driven sour old man who’s been mediocre at best his whole life and has finally found meaning in spite and malice.
Enough of casper’s nonstop whining and screeching “LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!” As basically every single thing in this country is more important than he is, we might look at some of the other insanity on the Left.
Chuck U Schumer, for example, seems to have a similar misunderstanding of the Constitution and the role of the Supreme Court, as he misstates the recent ruling on presidential immunity. Or he understands it all and just lies about it, which is typical for Schumer.
His spin, like that of the other loons on the Left, is that the Supreme Court “granted” immunity to Donald Trump. No, that is not the role of the Court and that is not what the ruling said or means. This Court, with its Libs held in check by some Constitutionalists preventing them from trying to legislate from the Court, merely applies rulings to the Constitution and then rules on their compliance with that document. Their ruling was that the intent of the Founders when they gave great authority to the President was that he have the freedom to act with great latitude, without fear of being prosecuted for decisions and actions which were lawful and within his authority. They did not “grant” immunity for those lawful actions, but merely found it within the writings of the Founders and the words of the Constitution itself
And Schumer, in top rabble-rousing mode, now declares that it is possible to legislate something that contradicts the Constitution itself. He claims it is to override the Court, but it is really to try to legislate an amendment to the Constitution without going through that process.
In typical Leftist fashion, he conflates several concepts into one unhinged rant. He misstates the ruling, he lies when he says it allows Trump to “commit crimes with impunity”, he claims the Constitution gives Congress the authority to override a Supreme Court decision, he lies when he says Trump committed acts of “election subversion” (an invented offense but one which clearly would have to take place prior to an election) an then veers off into howling that his goal is to “classify” certain actions by Trump in his presidency as “unofficial acts not subject to immunity”. (Retroactively, as if that would be legit—but then, who cares if it is legitimate, if they can just get some of those important WORDS in the record.)
In other words, Democrats, panicky at having the truth about Biden finally reaching the masses in spite of the frantic efforts of the Complicit Agenda Media and Dems in general to lie about it and cover it up, are now looking for distractions from the position in which their malfeasance has put the country. So they are running around with their hair on fire, howling lies about Project 2025 and presidential immunity and sudden claims about the mental state of Donald Trump and trying to find something, anything, they can throw on their puny little barely flickering flames in hopes of creating a bonfire. “Convicted felon” has fallen pretty flat, especially with a convicted felon (for real felonies) with no security clearance now sitting in on presidential meetings and briefings, but give them credit, they tried to squeeze every drop of manufactured outrage out of that phrase, after working so hard and subverting the law to get it.
Re casper: I’ll keep it simple because I am a simple kind of guy.*
You will never reason someone out of a thought they were never reasoned into.
*Never confuse keeping things simple with being simple minded or simplistic.
Have a day!

What a great line. The screed that Casper posted is all we need to know about the modern day Democrat. They are over emotional, under informed, and completely narcissistic human beings. Their politics are driven by pure emotion, and their arguments are all based on their “feelz”. You can’t have an adult conversation with people like this, nor can you reason with them. Fortunately their time is over. Normal Americans are sick and tired of their emotional outbursts and their absurd issues. Trump will win in a landslide
And I will add that it is no surprise Casper is here warning us of Project 2025, it’s almost as if the DNC instructions were sent to everyone. I now see liberals complaining about it on Facebook and X, and of course it’s all about their feelz. No objections whatsoever to actual content, just what they think of it.
I read a couple of days ago that over a million people had downloaded Project 2025, and yet, according to Casper, the majority of Americans are against it. Now I’m not very good at math but………..
So a little “over a million people” is not the majority of Americans?? Caspers broad assessments are always good for a laugh. What is project 2025? Well, here it is. I can’t find any similarities between this and Mein Kampf, but then again, I’m not a democrat

Given that this document is over 900 pages long, I doubt “most people” have even read it. I’m guessing our resident leftist is referring to the cliff notes version provided by none other than his fellow leftists -or- he skipped right over those too and went right to the frightful conclusions.
We all need to remember that Casper’s former profession is exactly why this country is in such turmoil. Teachers across this country have poorly educated two generations now, and they actively undermine parenthood. This is the background Casper comes from … I just hope he can still swim after Trump is elected.
Remember, back when he was “teaching” in Casper, Wyoming, as the school’s token commie, he used to come onto this blog and lecture us on things how, if we believed in the Constitution as it is written we think we should return to slavery and deny women the vote. When challenged, he would say he believed in the Constitution and then totally mangle it or come up with a “but…” and an example of why it was defective or should be violated.
In all these years, he has never been right. Think about it. NEVER. BEEN. RIGHT. (Though that does help explain his affinity for Joe Biden. That, and the lying.) It’s just that back then he was just a bumbling schlub, harmless in his ignorance aside from his toxic effect on the poor children entrusted to his “teaching”. But since he lost the somewhat moderating influence of his wife, who was generally considered to be nicer and smarter than he, and then retired and left the generally conservative environs of Casper, Wyoming for the radical Leftist hive of Hawaii, he has degenerated into quite a nasty piece of work. Evidently without the constraints of social normalcy he has been unfettered in the expansion of what has to have been his true nature all along, of pettiness and addiction to the meanest, nastiest, most spiteful and hateful outlook, exhibited in his newfound comfort with blatant lies and nonstop attacks on a man he has decided to loathe and all who fall short of his obsessive hatred.
He still doesn’t bother with trying to formulate an actual political ideology, because all that matters is that he has found a spiritual home with people just like him, who revel in nastiness and don’t bother to examine the actual political structure of the movement that has fed their pathologies and assured them that they are really just smarter than everyone else because they hate more, and hate the right people.

Democrats have long abandoned the political responsibility to inform the electorate, and now they just enflame the electorate. I challenge Democrats on X to go back 40 years and listen to Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and there is plenty of material to review. Biden of course being in politics, the only career he ever knew, has changed his positions 180 degrees in the last 40 years while we can all go back and watch the many interviews Trump did in the media in the 1980’s and you will hear the same positions he advocated then as he does today. Trump has not changed one bit.
Watch Joey trying to savage Clarence Thomas in his confirmation hearing for the Court to see the sheer nastiness and dishonesty of Biden at work. I can never understand how anyone can think of him a “nice guy’—from cuckolding his buddy not only by boinking his wife but driving and wrecking his Corvette to the vile and unprincipled attacks on Thomas to his blatant racism (schools with black students would become “jungles”) his is a history of being a garbage person.
Ah, Amazona, thank you for the cute little bio. Like most of your writing there are a few correct elements, but the majority is pretty much bs. I realize that most of your anger is because I continue to point out truths about your God king. It is very entertaining though to see the mental gymnastics you put yourself through trying to defend him. But that is something you have always been good at.
Over the years I learned that when you ask someone what his or her political ideology, you don’t really care. You are asking so you have something to attack while at the same time making yourself feel superior. A real discussion about political ideology would involve listening to each other and discussing the pluses and the minuses of the different ideologies and how some would work better in some cases than others. I’ve have numerous discussions like that over the years with people from all over the political spectrum and in some cases have adjusted my own belief system accordingly. Sadly that isn’t something you are capable of doing.
it is always illuminating to see where this blog is at. RW talking points show up here almost as fast as FOX saving me the agony of watching it.
Few things are more cringeworthy than seeing pudgy old Lefties trying to act tough and just coming across as petty old cats.
A couple of points: You mewl: thank you for the cute little bio. You seem to think that calling it “cute’ means it is not accurate. But it is. There is not a factual misstatement in it, your fatuous smirking aside.
However, your response is wholly an account of your own distorted perceptions and evasions. You claim that when I ask someone about his political philosophy this is not an honest interest in what the other person believes is the best blueprint for governing the country. You come right out and tell us what the voices in your head told you—that I “don’t really care”. While that is a convenient excuse for dismissing my question, it is transparently evasive. Then you indulge in a little projection: You are asking so you have something to attack while at the same time making yourself feel superior. What you don’t realize is that in this one sentence you tell us two important things about yourself. One is the admission that there would be something to attack in the political philosophy of the Left, if you were honest enough to openly discuss it, and the other is that when this political ideology is admitted and dissected the other side does feel superior.
And then you lie. Again. You claim that I am “not capable’ of evaluating my own personal political philosophy and adjusting my belief system accordingly. Well, for at least two decades now, time in which you have clearly followed this blog as well as attempting to be accepted as a legitimate contributor to it, I have openly and in detail discussed my transition from Liberalism to Conservatism. You’ve even referred to it. I have probably discussed this, and described it, at least a couple of times a year. You’ve got a teaching certificate—do the math.
As for your smug pursed-lipped Church Lady approach to “pointing out the truths” about what you so snidely (but in a great imitation of Joe Scarborough) call my “God king”, it’s all Identity Politics. it’s all superficial personality fluff, now mixed with a creepily toxic effort to portray Trump as even more mentally decrepit than Biden.
Now, I try, I really do try, to understand that a lot of this kind of sneering probably comes from a core difference in perceptions at least as much as the superficiality of some allegedly political positions. Reading Thomas Sowell’s book “Conflict of Visions” made me realize that a lot of what I have thought of as choices can really be attributed to core differences in how people perceive their worlds. To paraphrase his basic concept, some people are by their very nature inclined to believe that people can be perfected, that some people are just so superior that they can be entrusted with great power and authority by nature of their innate or achieved superiority, while the other vision is of humanity which is always susceptible to weakness and error. Sowell uses the terms “constrained” and “unconstrained” to describe these two visions of humanity.
Those with an unconstrained vision distrust decentralized processes and are impatient with large institutions and systemic processes that constrain human action. They believe there is an ideal solution to every problem, and that compromise is never acceptable. Collateral damage is merely the price of moving forward on the road to perfection. Sowell often refers to them as “the self anointed.” Ultimately they believe that man is morally perfectible. Because of this, they believe that there exist some people who are further along the path of moral development, have overcome self-interest and are immune to the influence of power and therefore can act as surrogate decision-makers for the rest of society.
Sowell argues that the constrained vision relies heavily on the belief that human nature is essentially unchanging and that man is naturally inherently self-interested, regardless of the best intentions. Those with a constrained vision prefer the systematic processes of the rule of law and experience of tradition. Compromise is essential because there are no ideal solutions, only trade-offs. Those with a constrained vision favor empirical evidence and time-tested structures and processes over intervention and personal experience. Ultimately, the constrained vision demands checks and balances and refuses to accept that all people could put aside their innate self-interest.
This book helped me understand why some people are so comfortable with what I think of as tyrannical government—they are by their very nature inclined to place their faith, and therefore their allegiance, on individuals based on a perception/belief that some people can and should have extreme power and authority because they have achieved a higher level of accomplishment (for lack of a better word). That they therefore can act as surrogate decision-makers for the rest of society. And these people, Sowell’s “self anointed” believe that they therefore should not be constrained by outward restrictions (as we see in the delegated duties of the Constitution) but by the very nature of their assumed higher levels of competence and character be able to expand or even dismiss those restraints.
It also helped me understand why some of us, those in the “constrained” camp, think that boundaries and processes are necessary to rein in the inevitable desire of some people to want their goals or agendas to overcome existing boundaries. People in this camp say “If you disagree with a Constitutional restraint on what you want to do, then you have to go through the processes to amend the Constitution, not just ignore the restraint or find a court to interpret it the way you want it”.
So I have tried to understand why some, who are so clearly in the “unconstrained’ camp, insist that the rest of us share their own emotion-based perceptions of those we support and see them as “God kings”, because this is a reflection of their own unexamined but controlling perception of their own leaders as deserving of this kind of slavish devotion. They simply do not understand that there is an entire contingent of people which bases its allegiance not on a belief in a leader’s innate superiority as a human being but merely on appreciation for his merit as a leader and the empirical evidence of his accomplishments. I try, I really do try, to give the benefit of the doubt to those on the other end of the constrained/unconstrained spectrum.
Having said all that, I still feel nothing but contempt and disgust when someone goes so far beyond this basic acceptance of idols and corollary conviction that the “other side” sees its leaders the same way, when I see this expanded into sheer nasty hateful rhetoric like “God king” and find it inexcusable and designed only to express sheer hatred for an Invented Other. At some point this innate inclination morphs into sheer glee in being as nasty and insulting as possible, just for the pleasure of being nasty and insulting.
I realize that most of your anger is because I continue to point out truths about your God king.
You see comments like this a lot on X from enflamed and ignorant Democrats, and I love pointing out to them that it was just 15 years ago that they all voted for “The One They Had All Been Waiting For” LOL. Their very own Black Jesus.
Democrats have nothing positive to run on, so they simply direct their anger at Trump and everything MAGA. The entirety of the Democrat agenda is built on fear and anger, not a winning platform.

Why have you never done that here?
“You see comments like this a lot on X from enflamed and ignorant Democrats, and I love pointing out to them that it was just 15 years ago that they all voted for “The One They Had All Been Waiting For” LOL. Their very own Black Jesus”
Except I never had a Obama hat, or flag, or shoes, or creepy trading cards, etc. I notice you don’t denigh you membership of the cult though.
“Democrats have nothing positive to run on, so they simply direct their anger at Trump and everything MAGA. The entirety of the Democrat agenda is built on fear and anger, not a winning platform.”
Well except for the booming economy, continued low unemployment, record job creation, etc. Your party is the party of fear and anger. You come on here everyday with a new outrage and angry that everyone else isn’t just as outraged. It’s who you are.
Spook,
“Why have you never done that here?”
Tried to several times years ago.
This is typical casper weasel-wording, listing all the Obama fanboi stuff he claims he DIDN’T have and skipping right past the fact that he had an Obama necktie.
He then goes on to extol the many things the Democrats can run on, evidently oblivious to the fact that they are all fantasies. He has taken reality and flipped it, creating a mirror image that is the exact opposite of the facts. The economy is booming so well that every week we hear of another major American company closing hundreds of stores or even going completely under and more people than ever living paycheck to paycheck. Unemployment is not based on how many people are unemployed, it is based on how many people are looking for work, and in an economy where the benefits of not working are bigger than low-paying jobs more people will settle for staying dependent on the government. “Record job creation’ is another delusion of the sheeple, fed to them by their masters. Few NEW jobs have been created, but people have been struggling to rebuild the jobs destroyed by the Executive Order mandates that shut them down a couple of years ago.
Isn’t it funny that casper’s bleat that the GOP is the “party is the party of fear and anger” yet it isn’t the party having riots, burning cities, shooting cops, demanding the elimination of an entire nation and its citizens as they echo the themes of their Nazi roots, and posting its desires to murder its political opposition. The party he denigrates as “the party of fear and anger” has been involved in one riot, and that was intended only to be a peaceful Constitutionally protected petition to the government for redress of wrongs that was hijacked by infiltrators and turned into a riot—a riot that, when compared to the Leftist riots we saw so often, was relatively mild. The actual facts of that riot, so carefully buried by the Complicit Agenda Media under piles of hysterical rhetoric and outright lies, show it to be so terrifyingly violent that nearly all of those arrested and held without bail and without their Constitutionally mandated speedy trials and often in the harsh conditions usually reserved (in a sane nation) for mass murderers and the most violent among us, ended up being found guilty of various degrees of—-trespassing.

You are lying. You are not simply mistaken, you are out-and-out lying. You have mewled some vague platitudes about believing in the Constitution, but you have never–NEVER–even indicated a basic understanding of the political system you support and enable, much less explained why you find it preferable to the political system advocated by Republicans. And then you have misstated the Constitution, and/or added a caveat to your alleged allegiance to it by tacking on differences in interpretation or changes you thought should be made.
When pressed—-and I DID press you, often and quite specifically— you simply could not, or would not, do it.
You have never—-EVER—-been man enough to stand up and admit that you believe our nation is best governed by a powerful cabal of elites governing by edict from a massively powerful Central Authority which pays tepid lip service, if that, to our Constitution. That is the political system you defend and support but you have never defended that support in terms related to its political reality.
In the earlier days of your efforts to participate in this blog, you were constrained by your position in the school and the community and probably by your wife, and your comments tended to be mere muddle-headed bleating of a few Leftist themes and the lack of mental energy needed to actually study and understand the political structures we were talking about. Without those guardrails, you have veered into what was evidently always your core identity of allegiance to the most radical (and crazed) element of your party. But you still refuse to analyze the structure of that party, its core tenets, its true ideology regarding governance, and/or its sordid history of failures when people have fallen for its superficial promises and accepted it as the government of their nations.
You were always dishonest, but in a mild-mannered befuddled kind of way, but once you lost the moral and intellectual compass I think your wife probably provided, and left the relatively conservative constraints of your school and your community, that unquestioning acceptance of untruths has blossomed into ardent acceptance of and adoption of out-and-out blatant lying, and you have become a full-fledged minion of the Radical Left.
But I’ll bet you still can’t accurately define the core elements of Leftist governance, or why you now accept and defend it. If you ever did try, you didn’t try very hard, at least not hard enough for it to be recognized as a sincere effort to explain the system or your allegiance to it.
You recently admitted that you are 70—isn’t it time to stop relying on versions of ‘my dog ate my homework (“I did try once several years ago” or “I already answered that question and won’t do it again” or your other fatuous efforts to duck ownership of your positions) and develop a backbone and stand up for what you appear to believe?
I notice you don’t denigh you membership of the cult though.
It is spelled deny … just FYI. And when have I ever denied my membership? I’m all in for Orange Jesus becoming a dictator and attacking people like you, and prosecuting our political enemies. I would never deny that.
Tried to several times years ago.
That begs the question, why do you still come here knowing that you’re just going to be ridiculed? Help me understand that pathology. I’ve been coming her since early 2004, and I’d guess you’ve been around almost that long. In all that time I can’t recall you ever posting anything that made me think, you know, I’ve never looked at it that way before. I quit wasting my time trying to understand what makes a brain like yours tick for the same reason that I don’t stand out by the bus stop and make fun of the kids getting off the short bus, and because I’ve come to the conclusion that your brain just doesn’t tick.

It was only a matter of time before someone linked the debate results with the famous Hitler bunker scene. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when Rachel Maddow’s teary face flashes on the screen.
I guess I’m more disconnected from pop culture than I thought. I had to look up Hawk-tua. Hilarious!
Definitely a sign of getting older lol, I had no idea about that either but it is funny. I like when Americans can just be themselves without worrying about offending some “protected class”
Whoever created this, would love to see a mini-series from now until after the election, to the swearing in, for both the President and congress critters.
This is the best of all those versions of that bunker scene. Like you, I laughed out loud.
I was just reminded of this on X … “let’s not forget that the same people who object to voter ID, wanted us all to have Covid Passports”
LOL, ycmtsu
Casper reminds me of Baghdad Bob
So Casper, going to do it? Connect just one or two pieces of the project 25 to actual fascism, as it defined THATS than your definition of fascism as ‘things you don’t like”?
casper never responds to specific questions like this. I asked him a similar question, asking for four examples of things in Project 2025 he found objectionable, and of course he refused to answer and then when pressed said I ask “stupid questions”.
I’d settle for him actually defining racism.
I’d settle for him defining ANYTHING. He just blindly regurgitates whatever his chosen masters have fed him but whenever challenged to put an actual idea into his own words he freezes like a walrus caught in a boat spotlight and can only resort to whatever his masters have told him he “thinks”. While a pathetic waste of oxygen he does serve a purpose, as an example of the quality of the cannon fodder that fills the ranks of the Democrat ‘base’.
