My Thoughts Exactly

Politics, RINO/GOPe

From The Daily Wire:

Influential conservative activist Charlie Kirk says the party should make lawmakers that get in the way of the Trump agenda pay the price.

Yup.  Enough of the GOPe RINOs.  Anytime someone doesn’t support MAGA principles — or worse, sides with the socialists against the Trump agenda — we should have him/her tossed out of office, to be replaced with someone with fire in the belly.  Kirk warns, however, not to go after the Republicans who are in marginal districts — because of the “incumbent advantage” — which is a smart play.

But those who represent deep-Red districts but still play footsie with the Left?

Open season.

Modus Operandi, or S.O.P.

RINO/GOPe

From Steve Kruiser:

Attorney General Merrick Garland spent some time Capitol Hill on Tuesday, sparring with Republicans who, once again, were expressing their extreme displeasure with the way he does business but not really doing anything about it.

Yeah well, “expressing extreme displeasure but not really doing anything about it”  are the actual lyrics from the Battle Hymn Of The Republic[an Party].

Put another way:  the Democrat Socialists are driving the country towards the precipice, while the Republicans are timidly asking them to please apply the brakes now and again, but not too hard.

Useless bunch of eunuchs.

S.O.P. — Standard Operating Procedure.  Or Stupid Old Party.  Take your pick.

No Power?

One of the many things I detest about X/Twatter is that the response is posted above the initial Twat, so it requires eyeball gymnastics / Hebraic reading discipline to figure out what the hell everyone is talking about.

Here’s one stream, which I’ve edited so as to make it readable for people of reasonable intelligence:

…which brings me to my main point:

Adam Kinzinger is a total fuckhead.

And Ron DeSantis isn’t.

But you all knew that.

Permanent Stance: Bent Over

Here’s some (un)surprising news:

Republicans Are About to Get Caught With Their Pants Down in Virginia’s Elections

Ummm I hate to break it to you, but the Stupid Party’s pants are in a perpetual state of “down”, which is why the Socialists find it so easy to bend them over the desk, time after time.

Still, the details are awful, but in fact pretty predictable:

Virginia is one of the few states that holds its state-wide elections on off years, and the balance of its General Assembly there hangs in the balance. Gov. Glenn Youngkin has been working non-stop to secure a majority, both to deliver tangible conservative wins and to redefine the narrative surrounding more recent GOP losses.

Unfortunately, according to a new report, the Republican National Committee doesn’t seem to be interested in helping with that cause.

…because that might hinder the Stupid Party’s efforts to help the Socialists, you see.

And if you smell “Romney” all over this one, you would be correct.

The Republican Party is the NRA of conservatism.

Welcome News

From Utah / Washington D.C.:

Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president in 2012 against then-president Barack Obama, said Wednesday that he will not seek a second term in the U.S. Senate, citing his old age and a demand for younger leadership.

Of course, the Bee nails it:

The Democratic Party was left scrambling for a replacement today, as long-time faithful Senator Mitt Romney of Utah announced he would not be seeking re-election.

“This is a huge blow for the Democratic Party,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Romney has been one of our most reliable senators. He will be sorely missed.”

And the best part:

According to sources in the Romney camp, the Senator plans to retire to the plains of Namibia to spend more time with his fellow rhinoceros family.

Question Asked

Asks some guy:

How Do You Know When It’s Time To Flee A Deep-Blue Hellhole?

Oh, I dunno.  Let me take a stab at it.  Here are what I would call good reasons, not in order but as they occur to me.  When:

  • the state’s legislature and governor’s office is pretty much controlled by the Left (from which, it should be said, all the rest of the catastrophe flows)
  • high taxes, and increasingly more-frequent tax increases and new taxes
  • permissive attitudes on the part of elected officials (such as district attorneys) towards criminal behavior
  • restrictive gun laws pertaining to ownership, possession and use
  • a state education system which fails to educate children, but which is intent on sexualizing them
  • a stifling bureaucracy that operates seemingly without check or censure as it oppresses the public
  • there’s a homeless problem which is apparently encouraged by local regulation and law
  • government is in thrall to whatever current fad is popular, e.g. climate change, LGBTOSTFU or drug decriminalization
  • cities are falling apart in terms of infrastructure (e.g. public transport and roads/bridges)
  • there’s an inability or unwillingness of government to address difficult social problems
  • still more that I can’t think of at the moment, but I’m sure that others can.

Ironically, the original article was written by a guy living in Australia, where leaving one state for another is pretty much akin to choosing to die from slow-acting poison or from cancer.  In U.S. terms, that’s like someone leaving California to live in Massachusetts.
