If you are one of the many schemers in Washington, or you dream of becoming a schemer in Washington, this is a troubling time. By now Trump should be in exile, having had to quit the presidential race due to his many legal troubles and the collapse in his support due to those legal troubles. A more acceptable candidate was supposed to have emerged and pushed Trump out of the race. This was the narrative the schemers in Washington have lived by for over a year.
In what is becoming a regular feature of our politics, the narrative did not turn out as written and the scramble is on for a narrative update. There are still the court cases in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington. The last two are in Federal court, but the Mark Steyn case tells us that we may all be dead before they get going. The Georgia case may fall apart due to racism. Apparently, racism made the DA turn the case into a chance to give her lover public money.
Of course, the big hole plowed through the narrative was the first two contests of the primary season, where Trump won easily. By the time Iowa came around all but three non-Trump candidates had quit the race. After Iowa it was the neocon offering, but she was trounced in New Hampshire, thus leaving Trump as the presumptive nominee, assuming nothing untoward happens this spring or summer. Few in Washington expected this to be the state of affairs at this point.
This is what makes the Texas border showdown an interesting thing. All of a sudden, we get word that Mitch McConnell is telling his party that the politics of immigration have flipped and they need to rally to Trump on the issue. Then Greg Abbott finds his inner confederate and defies the Feds with regards to the razor wire he had installed in a public park that sits along the border. Finally, we have every Republican governor rallying to his side in this fight with the Feds.
The first thing to consider here is that the Republican Party is the party of scheming perfidious finks, so whatever they are doing is not on the level. This is a party that selects for people who live to fink. They should just rename the party to “The Fink Party” but that would be a degree of candor no fink could muster. That also means that their sudden embrace of immigration and Trump’s position on it is not on the level. They are up to shenanigans because it is their nature.
One angle is that they suddenly realize that immigration is important to the voters despite the best effort of regime media to anathematize the issue. Voters in Iowa and New Hampshire listed immigration as a top concern. This never happens. Voters always put economic concerns at the top, because people are practical. This means immigration has leaked into the domain of the practical. All of a sudden, the Republicans have to pretend to care about immigration.
There may be something more perfidious afoot. Those court cases are still ongoing and one of them is scheduled to start in March. That means Trump is still in legal jeopardy and could be removed from the ticket. The issue is timing. They could not conjure an alternative in the primaries, so maybe they are looking to get a replacement ready, perhaps as his running mate. In other words, maybe word went out that there is a casting call for who will be Trump’s future replacement.
From the scheming weasel point of view, this is a good save to the official narrative that had Trump dropping out by the end of 2023. He cruises along winning delegates, picks a regime approved running mate and then is convicted in the summer. The party then does some hand ringing and decides to expel him from the party and tab his running mate as the party nominee. “We really hate to do this but with Trump facing jail time, we have to go with his top choice to replace him.”
It sounds like 4-D chess, but these are people who traffic in finkery. Shenanigans are like water to a fish or oxygen to a human. We know the collection of flunkies who ran in the primary did so becasue they were told Trump would be removed. They admitted as much during the debates. It is not unreasonable to think word has gone out to the governors that there will be a new casting call for players in the updated version of the Never Trump narrative that remains a hit in Washington.
Then you have the fact that what Texas is doing is mostly a show. This area they are walling off from the Feds is a tiny portion of the border. The park itself remains wide open to the Feds. If they wanted to do it, they could take down the razor wire, but thus far they have not done it. As for the states voicing support and sending national guard units, this is a cost-free gesture. They risk nothing in doing it, as even the national party thinks it is okay to sound butch on immigration.
One other factor suggests there are shenanigans afoot. There was the rumor that Trump might consider Haley as a running mate. This seems to have come from Washington and probably has a kernel of truth to it. The party may be offering to support Trump in his legal and political fights, if he agrees to a running mate that is on good terms with the regime. There has no doubt been discussions about this between the party and the Trump campaign.
All that said, Trump has proven to be one of the most resilient and lucky political figures to come around in generations. He is probably shrewd enough to avoid picking a running mate that could be his replacement. That just means the shenanigans will take another turn this spring. The regime hates Trump with the intensity of a thousand suns so they will never relent. What the first month of the political year tells us is that 2024 will be the year of the fink.

Z-Man: “The regime hates Trump with the intensity of a thousand suns so they will never relent.”
The reason Trump is unstoppable in the primaries is because most people hate the regime with the same intensity, and Trump is the medium to express that intense hatred. Does the regime understand that?
The Swampsters just have no sense of gratitude. They hate with a passion the guy they played for a chump for four years, who also sat on his hands and let them fix the 2020 election and further cost the GOP the senate by supporting some pathetic stiffs (e.g., Herschel Walker) for office . With enemies like Trump, who needs friends?
My take is that Lawfare has both Wall Street (((small hats))) and GOP Governors spooked. Scared. Afraid. The Harvard Claudine Gay thing was Obama using Gaza to push out (((small hats))) from Harvard for his people. It was not Ackman vs. Harvard, but Ackman vs Obama over Harvard turf. Various Palestinian types are now harassing Pelosi and Fetterman at their homes, crashing the DNC conferences, pushing out (((small hats))) in most Ivies, and there is no off switch. Even Ol’ Kid Sniffin Joe has his staffers protesting him outside the White House, and abortive efforts to crash the White House.… Read more »
This makes a lot of sense. Lawfare means everyone is at risk, no one is safe. I haven’t done the math on this but everyone being scared would intuitively make an uneasy standoff even less stable. Lawfare is institutionalized witch hunting – a state of mind of collective paranoia – which means the safest move is to accuse them before they accuse you. First mover advantage are, mathematically, the most unstable situations. So if you’re right this is going to accelerate and pretty fast. Which is also what my instinct says. Sober moment
I’ve noticed quite a bit of discontent among the upper middle class people, in particular white men, in particular in the “red” industries: ag, resources, non F500 manufacturing, and small businesses. It’s not the “they took our jerbs” people complaining about open borders now. These are well off, smart people. Ag, resources, manufacturing and small businesses are the secondary power base though. The main power bases are finance, tech, and media. But from what we’ve seen with Dimon, Musk, (even Bezos), and Ackman, it seems like they aren’t happy with DIE, at least as it currently stands. The problem is… Read more »
Some normies, as in the Associated Press running stories on it and the people being quoted, are starting to pay attention to the legal precedents potentially being set in the various cases against Mr. Trump, i.e. “if NY can seize his businesses they can seize any of our businesses.” Maybe it’s too little too late to stem the spiteful mutant anti trump tsunami, but this is starting to be said, in “polite quarters.”
Private property rights are being eroded by various “emergency measures”, “to stop Trump, for the climate, to fight white privilege”. You kind of vaguely sense how this does relate to old school socialism, the creed od envy. Shoes are dropping in this thread, at least for me. You also sense why private property is essential for civilization no less and how it is under attack. Red flag laws; now your guns are de facto on loan from the sheriff’s department.

Good points. I think there is widespread fear as a result of the E. Jean Carroll verdict among others and serious talk underway about relocating businesses out of New York. People have thought for a long time the financial houses might decamp and leave token shell offices behind, and that may be about to get real. The lawfare-related fear is quite understandable. California for obvious reasons would have seemed where major businesses would exit en masse first, and while that is happening, the problems there have more to do with regulation (also a problem in New York) than with litigation.… Read more »
One little nitpick I have is referring to two blacks as “lovers” – more like “rutters”. As for the border, if Abbott was half serious, he’d have the national guard firing into the water (not actually shooting anyone) and drive the illegals back. Of course it’ll never happen, so the republitards will gnash their teeth and yammer, pass some sort of worthless legislation, vowing to fortify the border and everyone will breathe a sigh of relief. Then they’ll get really serious and demand Teheran be bombed to rubble…
I did not think Trump would get this far. Or that we would have actual state vs fed boots on the ground (if that is genuine?). Or that we’re teetering on the edge of war against both Russia and Iran plus the whole woodwork of exotic jihadist organizations. Plus millions of unvetted IAs bur i repeat myself there.

I actually try not to dwell on how treacherous and evil and sick the things being done by governments in both America and Europe, really are. Because the anger messes with my ability to focus. I’m on board with any punishment for after we win. But right now we’re not calling the shots and I can waste endless energy just seething that’s better spent productively. I’m sure many others here feel the same, that we have so much reason to be angry that going there is like playing with fire you might not be able to control.

I always considered the GOP the Washington Generals of politics. That’s why they seem so feckless even when they’re a clear majority. They’re part of the same uniparty system, but their role is simply to do what Z said here: Fink. It’s partly ideological, since they accept the progressive view of morality, just on a slower incline to hell. The system in D.C. assimilates all better than a Borg collective. Play ball and go back to your district a multi-millionaire. I don’t know what to think of this border situation, but I do know the GOP is busily working behind… Read more »
I’d say the GOP is effective at serving the interests of its true constituents: donors, big bidness, the MIC, Israel. The party sees its voters as saps who can be kept compliant by a methadone drip of jingoism and empty appeals to “freedom.”
Not a bad take. Here, AZ, the term for those GOPers in RINO. They take great umbrage to the moniker, hence we keep calling them by it. 😉
What really takes the cake is when they talk about their
“Conservative values”, none of which seems to concentrate on winning elections and moving the Leftist agenda back. Glorious losers too afraid to do what it takes to win.
None of my business but how’s your situation water wise? If you’d have to go some time without backup I imagine water would be the big issue in AZ. Lots of space, most places, excessive cold not bad (I know it gets cold at night in the desert in January but by comparison not bad).
And of course have home defense firearms ready. They may not prevent government tyranny. But they are solid gold for self defense and the cartels are savage
Water here is available—ground water. The CAP project allowed the city wells to be turned off, and the Colorado to replace such. Ground water was limited and the level declining until CAP, but there was at least a century left. There are still many wells operational, and the city keeps all the old wells operational as backup. Doubtful AZ could be put out of the fight simply by killing the Colorado supply. And on a personal level, water is pumped for the golf course 100 yards away from where I write.
Major progress in AZ when Kari Lake took down the Chairman of the AZ GOP by releasing the recording of him attempting to bribe her out of politics. An excellent scalp claimed, and a shot across the bow to the rest of the RINOs.
‘GOP……Washington Generals’
Rush Dimbulb espoused the same view.
” Voters always put economic concerns at the top, because people are practical. This means immigration has leaked into the domain of the practical.”
Immigration was always the most practical concern there is BY FAR.

“The regime hates Trump with the intensity of a thousand suns so they will never relent.”
Never was a truer word said. If they have to, and as a last resort, they will assassinate him. Been done before.
They are crazy. They could get the win of the century by allowing Trump to win and then working with him. But they are so blinded by their hatred for Trump and especially Trump’s supporters that they act maximally irrational. They simply cannot help themselves.
No doubt about it, but I think Trump is correct when he says, “They’re *not* out to get me, they are out to get you—I’m just in the way.” Really, even before Trump, there was a palpable hate by the Left for traditional (middle) America—whom they rightfully saw as the last impediment to their vision for new America. Even Obama (a smart pol) could not resist firing a salvo by expressing openly this bigotry: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way… Read more »

We are millenia behind one ethnic group and decades behind another ethnic group in playing the game the way it must be played in any democracy, and especially in a multi-racial democracy. There is a third group that is organized for decades. It is really an entire caste in an entire country.

STEM performance is almost exclusively self-imposed. An inventor needs to want to do it, although a very few are lucky. You cannot compel it over time from the external. You have to want to achieve something so that you are in position and self-encouraged to discover a potentially useful, but a probable failure, notion when it says hello to your mind. Obtaining STEM credentials are easy for many. Even I have collected a few of my own. This doesn’t make me a STEM originator, a performer who develops an innovation beyond the patent metes and bounds.

Why just STEM …? We need plumbers, electricians, airline pilots; hell, even washing machine repairmen. I’m having a hard time getting an HVAC person in. Probably even guys who could repair a typewriter could make a good living for at least a generation.
Diesel and auto mechanics — and just try find a machine shop in your neighborhood that rebuilds engines.
If we’re going to survive the upcoming travails, we need those guys even more than another computer scientist ….
You will have no problem if you are willing to pay the 1,125/hr nominal I earn toward plumbers, electricians, airline pilots or “even” washing machine repairmen (or even monkeys if you can train them properly).

Solipsistic SoCal douche.
I agree PrimiPlus. We need all of it. DaBaers you are talking about inventors – an extremely rare strata. We need those too.
I am talking about high performance solid STEM folk who are an essential part of being an elite and economically viable.
Yes, we also need large numbers of skilled tradesmen.
Forget inventors in STEM. We need competent engineers and technicians to keep what’s already invented running–the power grid, the communication networks, refineries, chemical plants, oil fields, pipelines, railroads…I could go on.
Lack of organization is what stands between us and salvation. That doesn’t explain how to organize but it at least identifies what it is we need to do. Hard as that is
Day 1 of the Second Trump Administration Trump is puttering around the Oval Office, looking for a place to put The Art of the Deal, first edition, where a nifty little spotlight can highlight it for all the television cameras to see, when a teenage gofer runs in the room. “Mr. President! Mr. President! We got your present!” The teen tosses a cake box into Trump’s arms, who calls, “Whoa there. Be careful, kiddo. You could break something.” The teen grins. “That’s too squishy to be broken. Then again, from another way of looking at it, it’s as hard as… Read more »

“Trump has proven to be one of the most resilient and lucky political figures to come around in generations. He is probably shrewd enough to avoid picking a running mate that could be his replacement.” Hardly. Trump is not “resilient,” he has an enormous ego, HAD an enormous amount of money, and his supporters literally have no one else to turn to. His term in office demonstrated that his is not shrewd in making personnel choices at all. Rex Tillerson? Gen. Mattis? William Barr? Jeff Sessions? Christopher Wray? They all stabbed him in the back. That Trump will not be… Read more »
C’mon man. Trump has astonishing energy and the ability to withstand enormous punishment. I envy and admire him for these qualities.
I agree with most of the harshest criticisms of Trump but still see him as our best available option for demonstrating to whites the peril that they are in.
I suspect that the reason that he persists against such withering barrages is his hope that Ivanka’s friends will finally think that he’s a cool guy. Whatever, he’s the best we’ve got on hand at the moment…
While I understand completely the futility of voting harder and the legitimacy that it lends to the regime, I still don’t feel like I have any other choice when a guy who the regime hates this much is on the ballot
He will at the very least stir the pot and that’s probably not a bad thing. It’s a little like kicking an old car that won’t start; it’s not going to make the situation worse. Probably not better either but certainly not worse
We’re not in disagreement. Trump has taken enormous abuse. And voting for him is better than voting for any D and nearly all Rs. But it’s not enough. He can’t “make America great again” all by himself. They successfully cockblocked him on everything but the Supreme Court in his first term. They will simply not let him get another term, and even if he did get a second term I don’t see how he would be able to accomplish any more then he did from 2017-2021. Yes, yes.

They are making an example out of Trump to dissuade other rich guys who might want to run on a populist ticket. In fact there probably is no one else. Trump is sui generis.

I agree. I wish him no ill will. He’s a very flawed man, but so are we all. In this case the enemy of my enemy is my friend (screw Netanyahu’s rephrasing of this saying).
I swore off voting, with one exception—a rematch of Trump’s 2020 bid. I will vote—even if they require mail-in’s only. Then I’m done.
Only public executions of ballot fraudsters would ever get me to reconsider.
” Then I’m done. ”
No you aren’t.
I have been hearing conservatives say this for 30 years.
It started in 1994 after Republicans took congress for the first time in 40 years then did nothing with it.
Your kind always find some rationale to kick Lucy’s football one last time, and you will again in the future.
That is why the system works and stays around
Really, I did not vote in the last election—therefore breaking an uninterupted line of votes from when I became of age.
You really should know before you assume.
I was talking to my oldest boy (24) this weekend and Trump came up. He said he was voting for Trump, and I asked him why. His response: “Fuck them, that’s why”
Granted this is a small sample size, but I suspect it extrapolates well.
Raised that boy right!
Good for you. I suspect my son will vote, but I really don’t care to even discuss. Last discussion I told him I would never vote again given the “fix”. And further that I was an “accelerationist”. It was a new concept to him and one that will sink in with time. He is at the stage I was at his age. He brooks no moral failing in his candidates, but fails to understand why the elections never seem to fix an inherently corrupt system. He will learn and I will be dead by that time. That’s fine with me.
Typically, the most powerful economic interest has the whip hand. In America, that’s been agriculture, industry, and finance, in that order. Lately we see tech making its move. Sometimes a populist movement checks this interest, most successfully with the trust-busting and immigration restriction of the early 20th century. Then again, the financial power was starting to make its move at the same time. Maybe that’s what’s going on here with tech. I’m reminded of the Quigley quotes about an economy based on managing the public’s demands, and nineteenth century indulgence of man’s animal nature. Maybe the future is WALL-E, but… Read more »
Trump is a pro regime politician. When he was president, Jared Kushner and Ivanka were running things behind the scenes. Remember during Trump’s first impeachment, congress was pushing through the USMCA, to update NAFTA. Trump is an actor, and he gets low information voters and boomers to think he is one of them. Instead Trump is surrounded by the elite, he lives in a resort that only the elite can afford to get in. Don the Con is just phoney as the rest of them, the only difference is he has a cult of personality around him.
All these farcical court cases against him, russia hoax, peach mints, etc., say that’s not true. He has at times been a dupe of the regime (haven’t we all) but he’s clearly not one of them.
“All these farcical court cases against him, russia hoax, peach mints, etc., say that’s not true. He has at times been a dupe of the regime (haven’t we all) but he’s clearly not one of them.” When Trump is in prison, stripped of his assets, his kids hounded out of public life, then maybe I will start to believe Trump is not ” one of them.” Until then I assume it is all Soviet show trials, Warren Commissions, and Senate investigations into what happened at Waco.

“He is probably shrewd enough to avoid picking a running mate that could be his replacement.” – I don’t know about that. Practically every hire he’s ever done has betrayed him. His previous administration was riddled with self-owns every five minutes. I’m sure he thinks he can make his followers eat rat poison if he sells it. And for 85% of them, I think that’s true. Trump has proved to be the most disloyal man on Earth to his followers. so we’ll see what happens.
“Practically every hire he’s ever done has betrayed him.”
He’s not loyal to his subordinates and they reciprocate with a similar lack of loyalty and commitment. That said, I’ll be voting for him for a third time. He’s still the lesser evil.
Dude, I voted for Mitt Romney AND John McCain.
As lesser evils go, Cheeto Hitler is like Mother Theresa.
I am embarrassed to say I voted Romney, just didn’t know better. Did not make the same error with McStain
I might slightly push back against Z on this one. Is this whole Texas border “stand-off” a political stunt? Yeah, almost certainly. However, I’d argue that this stunt is having unintended consequences. It’s breaking down barriers in the minds of Normies who believe that it’s a real stand-off and are supporting it. Are they being tricked? Sure. But they now believe that going against the federal govt is an option and can even succeed. Our rulers are accidentally radicalizing a huge portion of the population. Once you can imagine something, you can make it happen. It’s why the regime is… Read more »
We know that the Texas thing is not something the regime wants. We know this because regime media is doing their best to ignore it. Yet it is being perpetrated and supported by people who are or were finks for the regime. So it’s indicative of a regime schism.
Good point. It’s serving multiple purposes.
“regime schism” Abbot, Kemp and DeSantis are NOT working for the same people who manage Biden. One can abstract (to 1rst order) the domestic enemies of Heritage America into 2 groups, which are now in conflict with each other and with Heritage America. The first is the corporate oligarchy and their servants like Abbott. These people have turned America into a trade zone rather than a real country and they have been at it since 1965 at least. They want population replacement, both for cheap labor and maximum corporate profits, and because immigration is importing the divide for ‘divide and… Read more »
Just so. The postmodernists are, in the main, deranged Leftist crackpots, however, they are correct in noting that language, or narrative, partially structures reality. AINO’s Power Structure is experiencing narrative capsize, and subversive sub-narratives, such as militant opposition to immivasion and FedGov, are encroaching at the periphery. And Republican panjandrums are unwittingly making it happen.
“Once you can imagine something…”
Sorry, friend-o: that’s a page out of “‘their’ playbook.”
Imagination’s got precious little to do with it.
Luck, however…!
(Fortuna’s wheel keeps a-spinnin’.)
Wrong. Words and ideas are important. Without a word to describe something, it’s hard to conceptualize a concept.
It’s why our rulers hate the word anti-white. It creates a different thought in our minds than the word racism. This is why Jews use antisemitism instead of racism.
Whites look at the border stand-off and all of the sudden their minds go, “Hey, you can just tell the feds no.” And once that idea is in their heads, it won’t go away.
The little hats also want to be able to be “fellow white people” when convenient, so they downplay the reality that they are, indeed, a different race. Hence antisemitism instead of racism being applied to them is a narrative they need to preserve.
“…Partially structures reality…. AINO’s Power Structure is experiencing narrative capsize.”
You’re right on the second observation – their narratives are falsehoods and will, ipso-facto, ALWAYS collapse (in time – never any doubt of that in my mind). But you’re wrong on your first (dare I say “Marcusian?”) observation; lies create phantasmagoria, not “reality,” and repetition of such, by whatever means, doesn’t “engender the real.”
Anyway, I was initially dishing on the term “imagination” which, in the popular vernacular, means “magical thinking.”
(Now, as for artifice, i.e., “persuasive ‘telling'” – well, that’s a horse of another color ; -)
I said “partially structures reality,” which it does. Humans don’t live only in the physical world but also in a thoughtworld, and most of them–whether it be in a mass media technocracy or a primitive tribe–accept, practically en bloc, their personal thoughtworld from on high. In AINO, that means primarily Big Media, Hollywood and academia. In tribes, it means the chief and a shaman-type who curates and recapitulates tribal mythology and interprets current events through spiritual media. Now these narratives need not bear much relationship to physical reality in order to structure reality and produce concrete results in the physical… Read more »
Yes. And one of the most critical arenas we are failing is in the Arts — the realm of Myth Making and Myth Maintenance. Our side has surrendered that ground completely to our enemies. And there is a reason that was one of the areas they first stormed and took. Own their story, and own the people. I live and work among the dirt people. I spent years moving through the world of the adjunct-clouds. Regular folks need this put into stories — they won’t and don’t read “hard-hitting analysis, nor do they wade through the daily deluge of “conservative”… Read more »
I agree with both of you. But by way of furthering my point, consider that whatever the “measurable” impacts over time, the Covid hoax was pure phantasmagoria. It was a lie. It was evil. But if “it” can be called what “it” is, “it” looses force. (“Story-folk” will appreciate this: There’s a great scene in the film The Exorcist where Damien Karras tries to school Lancaster Merrin on the “complexity” of the issue at hand, and Merrin, after donning his crucifix, looks at the younger man and replies (sic) “There is only The One.”) Anyway – careful with “the narratives.”… Read more »
I fully agree with you. Plus, celebrate your wins no matter how small. Our side is so used to defeat and so cynical that we cannot enjoy any victory, even a small one.
Don’t get carried with it, but take the W, smile and laugh knowing how miserable our enemies are.
It is a pretty small thing on the face of it– a single city park in Eagle Pass– but popular sentiment is so much on TX’s side, overwhelmingly, that for the Biden Admin “results are changing quickly” as Google likes to say. It has been quite funny to me to hear media Democrats under the belief they can shame Abbott out of a political stunt by accusing him of political stunting (“Republicans are the real Clintonites!”). Last week they were still on boomer-bluster about F-15s or F-16s, whatever; but just days later Biden pivoted to “I want to stop the… Read more »
These scenarios assume that voters will elect the President. I expect the election to be rigged.
There are two parties: the Uniparty and the MGA party. What makes sense to me is for the Uniparty to replace Joe with Nikki and have her run on the Dem ticket. Or run her as Joe’s VP, Joe steps down right after the inauguration and Nikki runs the deck for twelve years.
The MAGA’s may cry foul but the MAGA’s have nothing to say about it.
I don’t think the Dems can run open neocons, since a large portion of their base is anti-war. Their usual strat is to drive off the hippies claiming they can’t win a general election, then install a “center left” candidate who turns out to be a secret zionist.
This comment is why so many of the Government Party seem resigned to Trump being reelected. There is a not small number of Democrats who will vote for Trump because of the wars in Ukraine and Israel. Those simply did not exist when Trump was POTUS. Election fraud runs using machine algorithms to compute required votes. If 10-15% of your own voters are loyal to Trump, the ballot shenanigans required to overcome this risk direct exposure. Further legal persecution of Trump risks pushing those numbers higher because it means the Permanent War Party wants war, and you’ll see a lot… Read more »
Maybe an early non establishment VP pick is Trump’s poison pill? Michael Flynn, the Cobra, Rand Paul, or Thomas Maisie?
Somebody who they can’t stand and will lead Trump supporters out of the party.
Still think Tucker Carlson is a good possibility…and Vivek…Both of them could talk their way out of a gulag…But Trump may have too much ego to deal with that….
Yep. James Bond can’t be upstaged by Felix Leiter.
This post is a tonic. I became foolishly curious about the passion play in Texas, wondering about factional scheming over court orders and federalizing the TNG, about how DC will handle Abbott and Abbott will respond. Then this post makes me step back and look at the big picture. One tiny blockage of the enormous border makes no difference, and when did the Vichy GOP ever talk about restricting immigration and *not* prove to be lying? This includes Abbott. Remember how he performed with the recent fake black plague hysteria. No, this is merely the standard GOP modus operandi in… Read more »
That may be the idea, but the unintended consequences could turn out to be major problems for the Regime…
The first thing to consider here is that the Republican Party is the party of scheming perfidious finks, so whatever they are doing is not on the level. Perhaps this is a bit of wry sarcasm that I’m not picking up, but I cannot quite concur with this statement. It reminds me of the people who like to say that the mainstream media always lies so they will not believe anything that they report. This, of course, is silly. The mainstream media hardly ever reports things that are factually untrue. What they do is selectively report stories that are carefully… Read more »
“The mainstream media hardly ever reports things that are factually untrue.”
“81 million votes”
“Most honest and transparent election ever”
“Safe AND effective”
“Two weeks to flatten the curve”
“Mask up and social distance to save Granny!”
And on, and on, and on.
I think perhaps your definition of true and untrue could use an adjustment.
His posture as Resident Concern Troll is what needs work. Veering from inculcation of the thought, “Gee, never thought of that angle”, to making the reader want to violently spew whatever from their mouth lacks finesse.
Sorry, dude, you may actually mean what you say, but that is how it comes off, concern trolling the D.R.
Something of the proverbial “midwit” we often discuss around here.
“It’s not possible to simply do without the media, because then you wouldn’t have any information at all.”
That is an absurd statement.
Information ≠ knowledge.
“It may be that the issue cannot be resolved within the system, but it certainly won’t be resolved without the system. That’s just the facts.”
Qu-est-ce-que-c’est “facts?” Something the media produces?
Je ne comprends pas.
Good comment. Media reporting is usually incomplete or inaccurate, often slanted, and sometimes false, but it is always information, and we have to make the best we can of that information.
At one time maybe it was difficult, not really impossible, to do without the media. But that time is long gone given the proliferation of recording devices and low cost of dissemination.
As for lying, selective reporting and omission of key facts is one form. But the media does not limit itself simply to one form. As pointed out above, flat out falsehoods abound. Personally I agree selective reporting is more effective than straight up falsehood, but both are ubiquitous in the MSM.
Everything is factually true as long as you’re willing to fabricate some facts.
It’s not that Trump colluded with Russia. It’s that “unnamed sources” said he did.
As long as they never EVER ask any questions and never EVER disclose the information source, they can claim their reporting is “factual”.
But that doesn’t mean it is factual. Only that they withhold information necessary to corroborate the facts.
Also known as LYING.
We’ve gotten so used to them lying to us that people like you act like an abused wife making excuses for the beatings she’s taking.
They’re not lying. They’re just deliberately withholding information that would allow an evaluation of the veracity of their claims.
lol
A lie of omission is still a lie.
I surely cannot claim much political acumen. However, on the curious apparent pivot of the Republicans to at least pretend to take seriously the illegal immigration mess in general, the prime suspect I would think is the currently held up funding for more gibs to Ukraine and Israel. Biden promises to get tough on the border problem, if only the purse strings are loosened. I don’t place a whole lot of faith into such a claim. But that is a prime suspect as it’s politics as usual: Congress renews funding for the foreign adventures and continued 10% to the Big… Read more »
Tip O’Neal played this game with Reagan back in the 80’s. GOP got suckered repeatedly.

When it comes to scheming and finking and lying the Democrats bury the Republicans even the neocons tamp down the dirt and pee on the grave. There is not a republican life that can hold a candle to the crap that Democrats pause you can go all the way back to the Russian Russia Russia hoax.

For whatever reason, a few days ago I looked into the origin and meaning of the term “fink” which is also a very common juice last name. While most online sources simply say it means ‘finch,’ and say that usage as a surname meant someone who raised birds and/or was a ‘cheerful’ person, I found this a bit more explanatory, again considering the surnames “Fink,” “Pink, “Finkle,” “Pinchus,” etc. “NOTE: The word fink is apparently first attested in a sketch by the American humorist George Ade, “‘Stumpy’ and Other Interesting People,” first printed in the Chicago Record on March 17,… Read more »
It is a really successful epithet to have stuck around for six centuries.
Fascinating stuff there and made me refresh myself on the definition of etymon. Thanks, 3g.
Thank you for your etymological voyage of exploration. This is an area of interest for me. Somewhat off topic, but I have commenced a reading of H.L. Mencken’s, The American Language: An Inquiry into the Development of English in the United States, a dizzyingly impressive scholarly study of the emergence and flourishing of the American dialect, supplied with many examples of the self-conscious divergence from the British forms with all of its grammatical and usage rules, and of course covering the introduction and elaboration of new vocabulary and idiomatic forms. It is copiously footnoted, genuine footnotes, eschewing the tedious referral… Read more »
Jersey Jeffersonian: You know, I’ve been dreadfully negligent in doing any serious reading for the past few years. Other than his more famous quotations and bon mots, I haven’t read any Mencken. I will definitely take a look into his dictionary – thank you for the information.
Well, thank you for so consistently putting your true sense of things out there. Your life experiences clearly inform your judgements, and that gives them the ring of truth, making them worthy of entertaining them seriously. Respect…
And another thought; as a grandmother you play a key role in preservation of the “chain of custody” of white culture for those little ones, particularly by way of measured reflection upon “facts” and their relative weighting toward relevant cultural preservation.
I have no kids, and thus no grandkids. I am a monadnock in that way, sticking up, but not associated with a continuous range of mountains. Do the work; our people depend upon this.
JerseyJeffersonian: Many thanks for your kind words. Your use of the term “monadnock” struck me; I’m almost positive I didn’t ever climb it (it was in college but I’m fairly certain we didn’t drive up to New Hampshire that day) but for some reason I strongly remember the name.
I did climb Ilkley Moor a few years later, though. Now, with my old lady knees, those are just fond memories.
Trump usually makes bizarre personnel decisions so I think he will pick Nikki Haley.
I was watching Fox News the other day and all the pundits were saying Trump needs to select a Woman of Colour. Trump usually listens to whoever talked to him last and I think his inner circle will advise him extend an olive branch to Haley.
I’ve been telling friends and acquaintances with high school age sons that if Haley gets anywhere near power to make sure that their kids have flat feet.
Or ‘bone spurs’. Worked for Trump.
We may be sailing into unchartered waters here. It’s not just that western civ has made it possible for us dirt people to communicate on a vast scale, it has also made it possible for the evil bastards that eternally want to rule over the dirt people to collude to a greater degree than ever before possible in their scheming and finking. What we may be seeing is the beginning of what that means, and it is by no means assured it means freedom for the dirt people. The coming conflict between these two opposing forces is not just in… Read more »
The Texas thing doesn’t necessarily have to be much more complicated than the GOP pretending to care about immigration in an election year, as they have done every election year for about as long as I can remember. But it’s curious that they would do so in service of a prospective Trump Admin 2.0, at the same time that Lankford, McConnell and the rest of the finks in the Senate are pushing for an amnesty deal. This tells me that some of the finks have come over to the Trump camp. They now think he’s the strong horse and are… Read more »
These guys are just about clueless enough to send McConnell to the border in a Stetson hat and film him saying, “build… stares blankly for 20-25 seconds …the dang wall!” And that speaks to how oblivious these people have become. To paraphrase Solzhenitsyn, “We notice, they don’t notice we notice, we notice they don’t notice we notice, but still they don’t notice.”
Every republican I know and have ever known always cared about illegal immigration and legal immigration. Right now there’s not a republican that i know that supports even legal immigration. They all believe we currently have enough immigrants and until they become Americans we don’t need anymore. Illegal immigrants are completely out of the question. So standing there saying that the GOP is pretending to care about immigration is very disingenuous. They are listening to their constituents. Now that may be a new phenomena but the constituents have always cared about immigration.
By “Republican” you mean voters with real jobs, not party officials.
Quite. And there is no point of contact between the two. Republican pols hate Republican voters every bit as much as Democrats do, but they mask that hatred slightly better.
ProZNoV below nails it. There’s no VP candidate out there who can stand the onslaught of the Regime if he/she agrees to be Trump’s VP. Joining Navarro, Bannon, Miller, Giuliani et al in misery, bankruptcy or jail is the obvious fate of this unlucky VP. This can mean only one thing: Anyone from the mainstream accepting the VP position with Trump is the clear choice of the Regime to replace Trump. The “Fink”/Fix would have to be in for any sane person to accept it. I wouldn’t rule out DeSantis or Youngkin as possibilities. Haley may have been the insiders’… Read more »
The blank look on the imbecile Haley’s face when King Cobra asked her about basic Ukrainian geography was the best moment so far in this campaign.
I liked the debate on Fox where these two dots were arguing about how much US taxpayer money should be sent to Israel.
American democracy, hell yeah!!
No doubt many of their rank and file suffer from TDS, but on the whole, I’m not sure why AIPAC would have any problem with Trump
That also puzzles me but possibly it is because he isn’t as trigger happy as the typical Shabbos goy.
He just doesn’t want to go after Iran. That’s their beef. Everything else they should be okay with. They are maximalists after all.
His last VP was fine and had no jam ups whatsoever.
I just hope Trump doesn’t pick a woman or a black or Rammaswarmy. Trump needs to grow a pair.
Pence had no “jam-ups” because he finked at the end. That’s my point.
Pence finked right at the outset. He’s the one who set up Flynn, who was pretty much Trump’s only chance against McMonster, Mattis and Kelly.
I wrote Trump off when he let Flynn swing in the breeze. I knew at that moment that The Swamp would have their way with Trump.
I wrote of Trump when he signed a bill that didn’t fund the wall instead of giving it a VETO. I think that happened in less than a month after inauguration. How hard is vetoing a bill that is basically a bird in your face?
It’s a good sign if immigration is an increasing priority for voters. It’s hard to overstate how much of an existential crisis the border situation is for America. How many came in this year illegally? 3 million? In 8 years of Biden this will be over 24 million illegals. Say 30 million as the numbers will only increase. 30 million isn’t just a border town issue. Every town and state in the country will be affected. Even then, 30 million is just a drop in the bucket, with over 1 billion Latin Americans looking to immigrate to America, 1.9 billion… Read more »
There’s one bigger priority. Deporting them all.
What you say is undoubtedly true but I’m afraid it’s too late to lock the barn door. America is dead, and so is Canada, I imagine. Ultimately, our survival will hinge upon creating sovereign pockets of whiteness that become nation-states on down the line. When that happens, we build massy walls topped with broken glass and machine gun turrets.
It is funny how America has always been considered the most racist nation in human history but somehow that has never deterred the POC. And we have been told how barbaric apartheid was in South Africa but that didn’t stop millions of blacks from other parts of Africa illegally entering the country at that time either. Living in proximity to Whitey is a fundamental human right. Given that White people are less than 10% of the population that means each of us is individually responsible for the well-being of more than 10 POC. Can you look at yourself in the… Read more »
Yes, it is good sport and therapeutic to hate the DC vermin for their craven finkery and duplicity. They are indeed the most despicable shit bags our country can muster. But hating is not enough. For example, hating cancer will not cure it, even if it is a justifiable emotion. Better is to turn that hatred into tangible action on a personal level and win by not dying or succumbing to assimilation by the Borg. The pressure cooker is building and a lot of pent up anger is yet to explode. You do not want to become the dirty bomb… Read more »
I never pay much attention to VP picks because I’ve never seen a case where people turn to a candidate because of their VP choice. But, since we’re talking about it, I think Trump wants to see competition for the VP spot. People who want the job are spreading Trump’s message and speculation about the choice drives news stories (all for free!). Drawing out the choice also serves to keep the Fink Party in line as long as they believe that they can influence Trump’s decision. That said, Trump is a bull in a china shop, and I have given… Read more »
My prediction is Trump will pick magic negro Tim Scott, thinking it will checkmate those that hate him. But those that hate him will say Scott (who is blacker than coal) is not really black, and is actually a white supremacist. They will give him the nickname “Uncle Tim”. Blacks will vote 90% for Biden.
Not so sure. With Tim, Trump might drive down Biden’s black vote to 89.5%. Dare a GOPper dream?
So long as Republicans are the “beta” party to the Democrats’ “alpha,” no non-white demographic will support them in any notable numbers. Non-whites (and single women) are universally in favor of blatant corruption, tyranny, and injustice. Every move the GOP makes to look less like “the white party” and more like nice fair meritocrats reduces their non-white (and female) support, because it’s a show of weakness. Hitching Trump to a minority VP would *offset* the slight minority vote bump that his unpleasant personality gives them.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. He has a very distinct voice. Year of the Cat and Time Passages are, I think, his only 2 hits. It’s a shame he didn’t have more.
He had another song that left quite an impression on me, Roads to Moscow, from an album in 1973, with a story arc viewed through the eyes of a Russian soldier of the course of Operation Barbarossa and its aftermath. Pretty powerful, got a lot of airplay around Philly, at least. Seek it out on whatever source you prefer. Here is a link to the lyrics:

Whoops. You beat me to it JJ. Anyway, same here. I heard this song when I was 15 on a station in Rochester NY and I still enjoy listening to it. My daughter loved it so much she ended up studying Russian in college.
Al Stewart’s best song – which fortunately got some airplay in the mid-70s – is the story of a Russian soldier in WW2. It’s called ‘Roads to Moscow”. Concluding lyrics: * I’m coming home, I’m coming home, now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over And I listen to the clicking of the train-wheels as we roll across the border And now they ask me of the time that I was caught behind their lines and taken prisoner “They only held me for a day, a lucky break, ” I say they turn and listen closer… Read more »

Trump needs either a woman who has broad based appeal (impossible) or a non threatening pretty boy (Trudeau-esque) as a VP who doesn’t sound like a twink.
What sane person would want to be in Trump’s orbit? Everyone who did last time had their personal and professional lives trashed.
This is a good point. It suggests that a fink operative will be pushed as VP, in case the unthinkable happens and fortification fails.
“Trump needs either a woman who has ‘broad based’ appeal”
Double entendre?
Or it could be that both Zman’s overly mechanistic explanation of how politics work and the GOP’s calculation of how many safe seats there actually are have encountered a new reality, and are both past their sell-by date. Trump running as an indepdent from jail. RFK running as an independent with private security. The coming collapse and possible dismemberment of Ukraine. And the increasing likelihood that Jared Taylor’s fellow white friends are going to provoke a general war may just be too much for conservative cowards to approach with the usual venality. There has been no fundamental change of heart… Read more »
Then, after all that 4-D chess, a few election officials in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Phoenix will pump in several hundred thousand fake ballots, and Biden will win in a squeaker.
The GOP’s finking and scheming without attaining the desired results is helpful to us. It reveals the Republican Party as the anti-white fraud it always has been and, in the process, does us no harm. Anything that tarnishes the system is a net positive. I have no idea how this plays out but the safest bet is the Regime will look even worse as the crisis of incompetence incudes its ability to fink and scheme successfully. My guess at this point the Regime has to do decide whether to scuttle the controlled opposition party or swallow and accept Trump; the… Read more »
Heard a talking radio head catch herself this morning- started to say three us soldiers were murdered – corrected to killed – in Syria.
Kind of rich to claim unwelcome invaders destroying the place getting offed by defensive forces being “murdered “.
Well, when you consider every nation on the planet to be merely a satrapy of your empire, the death of an imperial Storm Trooper at the hands of subject people counts as murder.
Well, the ardor of the neocohens for war with Iran might be somewhat cooled by the developing agreements tieing Iran and Russia way closer, including in military and defense areas.
Iran gaining access to Khinzhals and S-400s might give the Pentagram a softoff. One hopes, at least.
Why doesn’t Trump just pick King Cobra as his running mate. No way the GOP wants that guy as the nominee. Seems like good insurance. If Trump wants an existing politician, he could tap JD Vance. Vance is schemer, but I don’t think the GOP establishment trusts him, nor should they. Vance, King Cobra and other younger pols are an interesting bunch. They’re willing to play ball, but they seem to sense that the establishment’s grip isn’t as tight as it once was. They also don’t seem to care much about being in the club. People like Haley desperately want… Read more »
That thinking goes a long way towards making Biden’s pick of Cameltoe make a semblance of sense. Insurance.
Does anyone have a pulse on how much Jared and Ivanka are calling the shots this time around? I would think that if they’ve got pull, Nimrata’s got a chance. “Dad, you’ll get women and Indians to vote for you! And she’s really strong on Israel…”
Strong on Israel is now a bug, not a feature.
But they don’t think that.
Yes they do they just don’t say it in public.
My understanding is that Trump no longer speaks to or otherwise has any contact with Jared or Ivanka, so the answer to your question could be that they have no influence on him. I may be an outlier here, but I firmly believe that the Donald Trump of 2024 is a completely different man than the Donald Trump of 2016. In 2016 Trump believed he could use his dealmaking skills to ingratiate himself with The Club. Instead, The Club used their influence to subvert his Presidency, impeach him on false pretenses, steal the 2020 election, and spend the next four… Read more »
I agree wholeheartedly. I think trump 24 is gonna be looking for reckoning. He’s gonna be hard he’s gonna be unreasonable to Democrats and he’s gonna be even more popular than ever with the people. But that’s only if he could beat the steal.
Hoagie – and he’ll also have to remain alive.
That letter he had out in regards to the Texas issue was a little bit of hint in that he basically said “as the shadow-president I believe that Federal Law Enforcement officers should be ignored”. That’s not something we’ve seen before. The VP pick will be the tell as it will either be someone intensely loyal to Trump and/or a “generalissimo” of some sort that could put an end to the democratic kabuki show should anything happen to Trump. If it’s just some regime stooge then we’ll know he’s not serious.
Agree 100%.
My belief is Trump 2024 will pick the Generalissimo.
In the unlikely event Trump wins in 2024, it will be a foregone conclusion that the current Republican party is dead and the party now belongs to Trump. The reaction from the current party stooges will be fascinating to watch. I predict a wave of resignations, retirements, and party changes from the RINO class and a hard move to the right from the rest as they attempt to remain relevant.
I don’t know about that…I wholeheartedly respect “My Cheeto Hilter®” and hold that his patriotism is “real”, but I remind everybody that the man…can be a FIRST CLASS horse’s as s, and therefore, the lesson he likely takes from his many (mostly unwarranted…) travails is “look at how resilient (i.e., tough) I am!”
“Look!”
The Georgia case may fall apart due to racism. Apparently, racism made the DA turn the case into a chance to give her lover public money.
Ah DEI, is there nothing it cannot do?
This is a party that selects for people who live to fink. They should just rename the party to “The Fink Party” but that would be a degree of candor no fink could muster.
And commentary like this is why I keep coming back.
I know Trump is a dope easily persuaded by flattery, but I cannot believe he would fall for the Nikki Haley trap. She is an impeachment enhancer for Senate Republicans. I doubt they would let him get through the first 100 days before they tossed him out in favor of her. I heard Ben Carson’s name floated more recently which makes a lot more sense.
His previous VP choice doesn’t give me much confidence that he’s going to get this one right.
Two pence, four pence, six pence, a dollar! All for Nimrata, stand up and holler!
I think the mistake of his first VP choice will make his next VP choice perfect. You could say a lot about Trump that’s negative but he ain’t stupid. I’m sure he learned a lot about 2who to pick for VP because of that PIS Pence.
The Haley Trap–not in any known universe to be confused with a honey trap…
There is something else that attracts flies to springs to mind.
No disrespect, but I’ve heard this Ben Carson nonsense a lot too and I just can’t understand it. I have to admit that as a literal brain surgeon, the guy is no dummy but he has the wimpiest political persona I’ve seen in all my days. There’s absolutely no way that guy is going to stand up to the media and bureaucrats and lobbyists and all the other D.C. finks that are constantly trying to sabotage Trump. Trump would be better off picking Eeyore if he wants a VP with some fight and spunk in him. I honestly thing this… Read more »
I don’t disagree, I meant it made more sense with respect to loyalty to Trump. I can’t see Carson working to undermine Trump with Congressional leaders or that he would be good at it if he did try to do that.
I have to agree that Trump picking Haley as his VP sounded completely delusional to me, as well. It could even be a deal-breaker for a lot of people’s support (mine included). However, another way of looking at it might be that one of Trump’s biggest problems is that there aren’t enough warm bodies who support him in the political class. Vance or Cobra (I love that name) would be obvious choices for VP, but they would be way more valuable to Trump in the Senate (assuming a future possibility for Cobra) than spinning wheels in the VP mansion.

Greg Abbotts ” inner confederate” hilarious.
The media is starting to ignore the story as the Z predicted yesterday and Abbott just put himself in line for Trumps replacement.
I think the Fink party is an appropriate name.
Maybe Cocaine Mitch will send V Dare a check next?
Yeah, the moment I heard Cocaine Mitch declare the politics of immigration had changed, I knew he was lying. Just a reminder, the Fink Party fundraised off of repealing Obamacare, for seven years. Mitch even shepherded bills to that effect knowing gay black 45 would never sign. Once BOM was elected, Mitch did less than nothing.
Democracy isn’t giving the plebs what they want. No, it’s all about giving them what the managerial class wants by whatever means.
It’s only “democracy” if the plebs vote the right way, otherwise democracy needs to be fortified.
It’s like school budget voting. They’ll keep holding them until the stupid taxpayers get it right.
Regan had poppa Bush, the CIA stooge, as his VP. Look how well that worked out for the country.
Ronnie gave the Deep State everything they ever wanted and they still tried to rub him out. LMAO.
You could say the same for Trump and Conservative Inc. He gave them Federalist Society judges, tax cuts, aid to Israel, etc. So of course they had to stab him in the back. It’s their nature.
