Nothing like a supposedly anti big government militia loser threatening people who might vote to impeach a big government fascist.
If they lose, the GOP will not stop discrediting the election results. Hell, they discredited them even after they won…(“millions of illegal votes!”)
And yes the militiamen and women are losers. They’re a bunch of cowards who hide behind firearms and threats when they don’t get their way politically. They’re cowards who resemble the SA and SS in their disdain for the democratic process.

On the domestic front, the party of Ronald Reagan has been using Cold War rhetoric to go after political rivals for a long time. Dems need to stop accepting the premise that Trump is some how an aberration in the Republican Party.
Remember how much distrust in the POTUS election results Trump sowed before he was actually elected. He didn’t believe he would win.

I am 0% confident. Norman Spinrad’s “World War Last” has a Soviet premier, a dead leader, kept in power through animatronics. When Terri Schiavo was having her poor soul disfigured by the evangelicals years ago, I suggested that they would parade that poor woman in a motorized wheelchair and a “sentience” service dog. A cruel parody of life.
They will do the same with Trump. And they will get away with it. They already are.

Why are they willing? One word: “Power.” It is foreign influence that is benefiting them, either directly by promoting their candidates or indirectly by hurting their opponents. You can see that easily when you look at how hard they are projecting such onto Dems by accusing them of benefiting from “meddling” by Ukrainian officials.
Raising doubt that others’ were responsible, as well — and we aren’t punishing them? — is straight out of the Kremlin propaganda playbook. And Ted Cruz is willing to help Trump and Putin do just that.

He will dispute and discredit the outcome of the election, there will be militia unrest and outright violence in some regions. I hope that it will lead to minimal casualties, but the odds are nearly 100%.
Trump will then go on to face charges, probably not see prison time, but could likely lose most of his assets, which he will recoup with book deals and speaking engagements.

This is really why the poll numbers on impeachment have not decreased in the fashion that the Repubs hoped it would: They want voters to act as though it’s still 2016 and everybody is clueless about what kind of guy Donald Trump is. Nobody except their own base buys for a second that Trump gives a flying fuck about corruption, nor do they buy that Trump is above using his office to benefit himself (both in the financial and political sense).
But Trump will not allow them to acknowledge any fault on his part, just the act of suggesting that his actions were less than noble draws legions of flying monkeys down upon their heads. So they’re left with no choice but to try to bullshit voters into believing that a man who is crooked in ways that would make Nixon wretch is somehow a good steward of the taxpayer’s money and dedicated to rooting out corruption.

Conservatives like what they’re used to. The only conservatives who supported any of the above-named things, was decades after the fact. Once it had been in place long enough to become the status quo.

I have no problem with certain “conservative” principles like self-sufficiency, personal responsibility and a free market.
But I do not think that “self-sufficiency” means that individuals and families with limited resources should be expected to negotiate one-on-one with multi-billion-dollar international corporations for terms of employment, insurance coverage or financial services.
I also think that if we expect people, especially young people, to be responsible for themselves and their actions, we need to educate them on how their bodies work, and teach them how individuals are supposed to take part in civic society.
And I want to see a free market that benefits all participants: employers as well as workers, manufacturers as well as consumers, insurers as well as the insured.
I see none of those issues addressed by what calls itself “Conservatism” in the current sense.

The whole concept of conservatism has been taken over by a zombie virus. It’s not a rational political party any more, it’s more of an anti-American conflaguration of theism, fascism, and white nationalism. It’s not a reasonable platform and hasn’t been for some time.

I should be addressing envelopes for Christmas cards. (Why yes, I’m old. Why do you ask?) I’ve opted for lunch first, and just noticed that one of our PBS stations is showing a bunch of Great British Baking Show episodes, so that will encourage me to go do the addressing while I watch, because what is more conducive to the doing of minor tasks than watching people cooking things?
It takes ~10 seconds to flush a toilet, then about a minute to refill. So if you flush 15 times like Trump enjoys doing, that’s more than 17 minutes out of your day right there.

Trump’s acolytes believe that all departments of government should be purged of those loyal to the Constitution and replaced by Trump acolytes. They literally believe that those with experience and knowledge (i.e. “unelected bureaucrats”) need to be removed if they don’t follow every demand of the dictator-in-chief. They adore CEO’s of privately run companies because these people have that power and the worst (e.g. Trump) are contemptuous of those employees with independence.
But this is nothing new — my memory is faulty but “Imperial Life in The Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone” by Chandrasekaran over a decade ago dealt with how the Bush administration, instead of sending Iraq experts to Iraq after the war instead found those who shared their ideology, even on issues such as abortion. So, as others have said, this rot has infested the Republican Party for a long time.

re: “The real question is why is the party of Ronald Reagan that prevailed in the Cold War willing to accept this kind of foreign interference in our elections?”
electoral-vote.com yesterday:
Trying to be diplomatic and soft-pedal it would just waste everyone’s time, so we’re going to come right out with it: Trump, his family, his base, and much of the GOP establishment that supports him are enormous hypocrites.
I am getting increasingly uncomfortable with how the Sanders and Warren factions in the Democratic party have forced certain ideas as litmus tests, in light of where we are at with Donald Trump and destruction of good government.
How decent people like Beto, or Harris, get run out of the election process but flakes and buy-ins get to go on.
I came across on Facebook today another thread, lamenting on the loss of Harris from the race, in which certain factions have chimed in with the basic Kamala-is-cop slur.
I’m also uncomfortable with calling Pete a “Republican”, which he most certainly isn’t.
I am convinced that Biden is too old, Sanders is just wrong for the job, and Warren may mean well with some important social issues but she is so type-cast by the right-wing and Trump-machine that she is entering Hillary territory in becoming just a projection of whatever the election-industry (which is about money) will want to make of her.
There is a naiveté among so many young progressives, that think that being more progressive means more important stuff will be done.
But that is not how our society works. When I lamented Obama for not be ideological enough, I meant it, in that he was good with the machinery of government but not willing to tackle the deep emotional and dogmatic problems.
It’s fine to be all socialist and what not, but that is not enough. You have to get elected (as Obama recently pointed out.)
And humans are only “rational” in the economic sense and even then economists have a theoretical model of humans that fail in the details. If humans were perfectly rational we wouldn’t have civilizations collapse down through time, and tyrants wouldn’t be adored by populations.
America is the land of the religious . The “nones” are just anti-labels or anti-committed to a local congregation; they are no more rational just because they are “nones”.
I fear that what happened to Hillary will happen to Warren. And I am afraid that many self-declared progressives think it is some noble thing to be pure but lose an election.

meadows: Questions like this make the false assumption that @realDonaldTrump had political motives. That’s not accurate. It’s not supported by the evidence.
PROVE that was the thinking at the time
Also, since this op-Ed came out under said ambassador’s name in (I presume) 2016, why didn’t any of these people object to this so-called “interference” then? It was out in the open. No investigation needed. Was there any formal congressional/diplomatic objection at the time????

Fresno Bee has thoughts on their supposed representative:
Devin Nunes’ blind allegiance to Trump is the real danger to the republic
“…As the ranking Republican on the powerful House Intelligence Committee, Nunes holds one of the top posts in Congress. Nunes should have disclosed to his committee colleagues that he had those phone calls last spring. One expert on government ethics took it a step further and said Nunes should have recused himself from the impeachment hearings, rather than acting as No. 1 Trump defender.
To advance the cause of getting at the truth, Nunes should come clean on the phone calls and tell the House what was discussed. He should also provide travel records to debunk the charge that he met in Vienna last December with the Ukrainian to get information that might hurt Biden; Nunes says he was in Libya and Malta.
Short of that, his actions continue to reduce him to being a mere partisan — the label with which he loves to tarnish his Democrat colleagues. Meanwhile, his 22nd District has critical needs, like easing the trade war challenges with China for farmers and helping those struggling in poverty. On such issues, Nunes has been absent; he’s been traveling to Europe.

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes (R-CA) told Fox News that it was “sickening” that Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) had obtained his phone records as part of the House’s impeachment inquiry.
see, this is the lie.
NOBODY obtained nunes’s phone records as part of the house impeachment inquiry - or in any other way
they obtained parnas’s phone records - by lawful subpoena
nunes just happened to be talking with him.
big mistake on his part.
for example, know who has no contact with parnas? all the dem candidates running for president, plus millions of other people, including, im guessing the entire dem house and most of the R’s too.
dont talk to people who might be tapped or whose records might be subpoenad

re: #122 Patricia Kayden
That’s okay. That is North Dakota’s loss.
True: but not even that much of a loss. The disgusting thing is that, despite the stock faux-“concern” about stressing social services, etc: the county commission’s decision (and we can guess what Party these “concerned” officials belong to) is based on an astonishingly small number:
Shirley Dykshoorn, a vice president for Lutheran Social Services, which handles all of North Dakota’s refugee resettlement cases, said her agency used to handle about 400 cases per year, but that number dropped to 124 in fiscal 2019, which ended in September. The program has been in existence in North Dakota since 1948.
LSS settled 24 refugees in Bismarck in fiscal 2019, after settling 22 in fiscal 2018. Dykshoorn said Burleigh County had been projected to get no more than 25 refugees annually in the coming years.
“We always look at the capacity of a community to handle these,” she said.
“I’m trying to understand the basis for believing how 25 people will dramatically change the fabric of a community,” she said. “What does it say to the rest of the country when a county where your capital city is located would choose not to participate?”
So Bismarck, ND: a city of 73,000+; 132.000+ in the metro area: in one of the most sparsely-populated and employment-starved states in the Union: doesn’t think it can handle an extra TWENTY-FIVE people PER YEAR????
What DOES that say (besides the obvious)??
Is it too early for this? Shiny new release.
