Seen at Insty, from Richard Fernandez:
I’m sorry, but when my soccer team has just suffered a 3-2 loss because the ref’s son was playing for the other side and he unjustly awarded them two penalties in the last three minutes of play, I’m not going to claim that we had the moral victory.
A loss is a fucking loss, and what we have to do is figure out how to live with the consequences. Wretchard goes on to explain:
I hate to say it, but the Left absolutely loves Communist China, so as far as they are concerned, China are the good guys and losing to them is part of their program (see: Obama and the Muslims in the Middle East).
Our economy is going to tank because at the slightest whiff of the next Chinkvirus outbreak, Comrades Biden/Harris are going to lock us down like Gauleiter Gretchen Whitmer tried to do in Michigan — once again, not a problem for the Left because they thrive on the population living in common misery — and we should always remember that the Left has no interest in outcomes, only intentions.
What I’m waiting for is for Gruppenfuehrer Beto O’Rourke’s sturmtruppen to come knocking at my door to confiscate my guns.
So if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the range.
Update: from Reader Mike L comes this:
I am from Massachusetts. Starting this coming Friday, the “Republican” Governor here, Charlie Baker (he is a closeted Democrat) has a new Covid Executive order.
- You may not leave your home between 10 PM and 5 AM unless it’s for food, work or medicine. I guess the Covid is more dangerous between 10 as 5 according to this clown?
- you must wear a mask OUTSIDE even with No one around
- you must wear a mask in a car or in a house if you visit someone who doesn’t live with you in your household.
Looks like they’re not even going to wait until February.
Curfews? I have the old IRA song “By the rising of the moon” playing in my head
Bear with me here.
Let’s assume the fraud stands, and Biden becomes President, followed sometime in the first quarter 2021 by his resignation and Kneepads taking office (at which point the Left will be champing at the bit at the prospect of TWELVE years of Harris as President, finishing Bidens term followed by two of her own).
What do we do?
1) Fix the voting system. The fraud in this one was so massive and so obvious that no body with half a brain can ignore it. Pass laws where needed, and put systems in place to ensure the enforcement of existing laws, to prevent the large-scale fraud found this year. We’ll win a fair election.
2) Any half-way decent person who voted D this year has to be disgusted at the fraud, giving a good field for Republicans to harvest. Any R who runs on a ticket of fixing the system will get votes. Which brings us to the next point:
3) Take back the House in 2022, and keep/expand the Senate. Then let’s make Harris the second person in history to go from VP to former-President without being re-elected.
This last part hurts more than you know, but it has to be said.
If we fail at the above, if fraud is how elections are done in the US now….Commit our own fraud. I’m not sure that’s a brink we can come back from, but I DO know that if we don’t America is toast. Otherwise we’re the Welterweight standing in the ring, watching a Heavyweight opponent step in wearing a football helmet, hockey pads and brass knuckles. We either toss the Marquis de Queensbury rules, or we get our ass handed to us. We can fix the system AFTER we throw the bums out.

“…TWELVE years of Harris as President,”
That can’t happen without a Constitutional amendment. Here is the relevant section of the 22nd amendment:
“…no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. ”
That means that as it stands today, no one person can be president for more than 10 years. I know, bad enough, but still…
Missed that, thankee.

I would agree except for the part that the Left doesn’t care about the Constitution. Hillary was Constitutionally barred from being Secretary of State but nobody stopped her.
Twelve years of Harris might be a bridge too far for most people, but knowing my Stalinist brothers and their Left of Pol Pot wives, I doubt it will be universal enough to prevent it.
How do you reform a broken election system unless you control the legislatures in all states?
Democrats don’t WANT the system fixed.
And we fix it, they will be gaming it 3 days later. Democracy only works for a generally moral people. We lost that some time ago.
Finally, they are going to open the borders. Don’t bet on seeing the presidency, for what, 69 years? That’s how long it took to overthrow the Soviet system.
And the anti-Soviets had Chernobyl to bankrupt and smear the government, as well.
69 years? where’ s that meme that went around, “aint nobody got time for that!”
Sweet Brown’s entire video is amusing

Mark D,
You make some great points
1) How do we fix the voting system when we don’t have people in congress and the executive branch to write, enact and execute these badly needed reforms? Currently the House is controlled by Democrats hostile to election reform. In fact, many Democrats want to expand the electorate to include criminals, illegal immigrants, non citizens etc. I’m sure some would also love the idea of weighted voting so minority votes would count more than white male votes in order to make up for years of oppression. The more blessed demographic groups would love an additional vote for each intersectionality they possess. Gay white male? your vote counts twice. non cis gendered polyamorous himilayan in a transgendered relationship? I that would be about 8 votes or so.
2) no halfway decent person voted D this year. None. Not one Democrat cares about biased media, lying media, ballot fraud, manipulating the election system etc. Anyone running on election reform will be called a racist by the media and they will be made out to support disenfranchising minorities. The propaganda industry already does that when the subject of voter ID is broached.
3) Take back the House in 2022. I love the idea. The Republican majority in the Senate does need to be maintained and expanded. The best thing we can do is force a Creepy Joe/Heels Up Harris administration to nominate moderate justices if any other openings occur in the judiciary.
The Marquis of Queensbury Rules need to be tossed immediately. We started tossing them by electing Trump, a non party insider who spoke the honest blunt truth about Democrats and the media. The election of Trump taught me that nice guys finish last and that politics isn’t a noble calling, it’s a dirty, filthy back alley gutter fight. In order to fight the evil policies of the Democrat party, we need to hire someone who will fight fire with fire. McCain, Romney and a host of other GOP candidates refused to get dirty. Sorry guys, you can’t wrestle alligators without getting into the swamp. The days of oppose each other until 5pm then go to happy hour together are over. Now its a 24/7 back alley gutter fight. The battlefield has changed and it’s not going back to the days of the respected statesmen.

It ain’t gonna last long enough to do all that stuff. It’s going down. If the american-communists take the helm it will go down faster. All of us are in decline and the intelligent among us know it and are buffering ourselves the best we can. Go look up Kunstler’s “The Long Emergency”. We’re well into it now.
“Any half-way decent person who voted D this year has to be disgusted”
Find me ONE of the above, and I’ll buy you a steak lunch.
Exactly. It’s not just the election either. These people worm their way into government jobs and abuse their authority to bend and/or break the rules to get what they want. Knowing full well that anyone that opposes them cannot afford the legal fees to do so. If you try they will just drag it out in the courts until you are bankrupt.
All the while wearing a smug little smile on their faces. “It’s for the greater good.” is just the lie they use to fool the ignorant. They are after nothing more than power by any means necessary. They are nothing more than a bunch of narcissistic sociopaths that enjoy making others suffer.
The only good thing is eventually they will be at each others throats, but as Aqua225 pointed out above that will take decades.
Instead of ‘Muslims’, I prefer ‘mohammadans’.
In other news, ex-US Army Major, psychiatrist, and mohammadan Nidal Hasan is still alive eleven years after his attacks on American ‘armed forces’ at Fort Hood.
He was a good little mohammadan soldier during the reign of Barack Hussein Obama.
Any similarities of name are coincidental.
Hasan is in a wheelchair and has stated that he’s in constant pain. Good. I wish him a long and miserable life. I actually opposed giving him the death penalty for that exact reason.
Let the asshole suffer.
As the Russian Marines say, “Toughski Shitski.” He had plenty of time to think about that before it was too late for him to take it all back.
If Biden gets into the WH, do you think him or Heels Up Harris will pardon that mohamedan?
I hope that turd spends the rest of his life begging for death and they don’t run out of salad dressing in prison
In the end, this is just an example of the GOP loosing a winnable election with a crap candidate (which is what Trump is, he is mostly a crap POTUS too). Yes he did some decent things here and there, but they are the type of things any GOP POTUS would have done. He also did a lot of unforced errors, picked petty fights with people who likely would have been on his side otherwise and his constant Id flexing on Twitter and elsewhere scared away a lot of winnable votes in the middle. (He just got lucky last time that Hillary was genetically engineered to be the worst candidate in human history.)
It is what it is. In the end Mitch McConnell will be putting on the breaks for the next 4 years and unless we nominate an absolute POS like Trump again we will get it back.
Nothing is ever lost in Politics because nothing is ever won, it just sets thing up for the next battle.
Interesting to note about Covid. El Paso supposedly has seen a sharp rise in cases and deaths. One of the top 10 hot spots in the nation. Our County Judge ordered a curfew, closed bars and restaurants at 9, said only essential businesses can remain open. A case tracking shows that 39% of the cases came from big box stores but they can remain open. Mayor is fighting him, EPPD won’t enforce his edicts, Sheriff’s Department and Constables are (who sets their budgets?). Since the edict, it’s come to pass that we’re allowing patients from Juarez coming over here to be counted in our numbers, hospitals are putting up tents, people are being shipped to San Antonio, and we’ve got five morgue freezer trucks on standby. The Mayor and County Judge warned back before Labor Day that celebrations would bring a spike, didn’t happen. Now they’re blaming family gatherings for the spike. Last week there were reports that ambulances were bringing people from Juarez to our hospitals, we’re shipping cases to Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio when we already have Wm. Beaumont here. CBP is telling everyone the patients are Americans living in Juarez. Hospitals are complaining ICUs are filling up, without telling us what kind of cases, they’re shuffling patients, setting up tent wards and using the Convention Center as a hospital ward (none of which are being used yet, and the media isn’t bothering to check). Then yesterday, this bombshell broke. Seems the county health department switched computer programs (right) and mistakenly double counted 3100 cases. Oh yeah, the 22 deaths? From 3rd week in August to the start of November. Who says we’re not being played? How can we trust anything the city and county say? https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/health/2020/11/05/coronavirus-update-el-paso-covid-19-restrictions-shutdowns-curfew/6174493002/
Thanks for the link. “‘There are concerns that the virus is spreading at gatherings of friends and families and at large retail stores’, El Paso Mayor Dee Margo said.
‘It’s coming from shopping, primarily the large big box retailers,’ Margo said, adding residents should only send one person to the store and not take their entire family shopping.”
What a great idea! Send one person to the chain store so the infection of others in the family can occur at home, where, instead of the large retail store, the gatherings of friends and family can be blamed. I swear, sometimes I think the Democrats’ slogan is, “If you can’t lie with statistics, you aren’t trying hard enough.”
I forgot to mention the 5 morgue trucks that are on standby. For no explicable reason.
They’re here for new tires.
They’re here for an oil change.
All five at the same time?
