I dont care if a bunch of Antifa commie retards shoot each other, but the optics are bad. The FBI got involved in the Bundy standoff. Arguably Obama enforced law and order better than Trump has during this disaster. All this does is show Trumps base that there is a double standard, the law is enforced against the right but the left can run roughshod over the country.

Just FYI, the Bundy stuff took place on federal land.

So... yeah - of course the feds got involved with it.

 

[Flexo]

TBH if I were Trump I'd lay back in the cut and just watch Mayor Karen and the others squirm for a while too.

If I were Trump, I'd sit in front of a video feed of the chaos with Pence and somebody else and provide running MST3k-style commentary on it.

"Bet you wish you asked for my help now!"

Trump: 'I don't kid' on coronavirus testing

President Trump said Tuesday that he doesn’t “kid” when asked whether he was joking when he said at a campaign rally that he asked aides to slow down coronavirus testing.

thehill.com

>Reporter: We’re you kidding?
>Trump:I don’t kid
>Trump then goes on to repeat all his talking points about how much testing they’ve done
>Media: He admiited that he slowed it down!

Or, he didn’t like the framing of the question. Fucking lugenpresse.

Tucker has this idea that America was "decent" during the 1950s and progressive era.

A lot of America was still decent into the 1990s, that is mostly white and safe, with vibrant local communities. America was great, that part is true. Then demographic warfare and vulture capitalism were finished its job. What weaponized demography didn't permanent destroy, Walmart and Amazon finished off.

He clearly loves the country, but, I agree that love transcends his ability to see reality at times

I think he understands the dead-end reality we are and is trying his best with his limited abilities to effect positive change. How bad would it be if he got on there and said, "Listen people, we are screwed, like so hard. We are 50 years beyond the tipping point and can our only hope is to fight a losing battle against the most powerful forces that have ever existed, ones that want us ground out of existence. There is no hope. Buy gold and pillows."

“But look at the aspirations of that rabbit and look at his failing. A little life trying. And all the time it was hopeless. But the rabbit didn't know that. Or maybe did know and kept trying anyhow. But I think he didn't understand. He just wanted to do it so badly.”

The new Cultural Revolution continues.

2017:

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2017/08/23/leftists-started-statues-1930s-spain-ended-murdered-bodies-nuns-exhumed-mocked-528201

The brick and urine tossing Antifa leftists are the street thugs and shock troops of the left. Antifa’s stock in trade is violence and hate, and like their distant cousins in the Spanish Civil war of the 1930’s, there probably are very few atrocities they wouldn’t be willing to commit in the name of love and equality.

Because, despite the denials of liberals and cowardly virtue-signaling Republicans castigating Trump for daring to condemn “all violence” in Charlottesville, moral equivalence in this case really does exist. While everyone, except real Nazis and their sympathizers, of course, agrees that Nazis are bad, to ignore one bad side only emboldens the other.

Emboldening violent leftists is the absolute LAST thing we want to do, and one need only look at a few windows of history to see how that folly eventually turns out.

One window of history in particular, the Spanish Civil War of the 30’s, allows us a glimpse into what happens when their backs are truly against the wall.

Historian Stanley Payne writes (emphasis mine):

During the first months of the fighting, most of the deaths did not come from combat on the battlefield but political executions in the rear–the “Red” and “White” terrors. In some cases, the murder of political opponents began more or less spontaneously, but from the very beginning there was always a certain degree of organization, and nearly all the killings after the first few days were carried out by organized groups. Murder of the political opposition was an almost inevitable result of conditions of revolutionary civil war and the constant incitement to violence, particularly by the left, in the years leading up to it. Fear was also a major ingredient. Both sides knew that they had reached a showdown and were eager to eliminate potential opposition before it was too late.

The Red terror began with the murder of some of the rebels as they attempted to surrender after their revolt had failed in several of the key cities. From there it broadened out to wholesale arrests, and sometimes wholesale executions, of people associated with right-wing groups or the Catholic church. In general, this was not an irrepressible outpouring of hatred by the man in the street for his “oppressors,” as it has sometimes been painted, but a semi-organized activity carried out by sections of nearly all the leftist groups. In the entire leftist zone the only organized political party that eschewed involvement in such activity were the Basque Nationalists.

The leftist hatred for life even extends beyond the grave, as evidenced by this gem from Mark Laskey:

However, morality only went so far in this emotionally charged social climate. Swept up by anticlerical passions, acts of desecration soon became more and more extreme. In a carnivalesque celebration of the macabre, tombs were opened and church graveyards dug up as the remains of saints, priests, and nuns were exhumed and profaned in the streets of Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Valencia, and Almeria. In the famous Romanesque monastery of Ripoll, “the sepulchers [was] destroyed, among them that of Wilfredo el Velloso, the conqueror of Catalonia, and that of Bishop Morgades, the restorer of the famous abbey. In Vich, the tomb of the great Balmes was profaned, and people have played football with the skull of the great Bishop Torras y Bagés.” Further incidents took place in Toledo, at the Church of San Miguel, where disinterred corpses were displayed on the central altar, and Madrid, where skulls were placed on the altar of Carmelite Church. In the most notorious incident, the bodies of nineteen Silesian nuns were exhumed and exhibited in Barcelona, “flanking the doors of the church and spilling out onto the street. Here they remained for three days, during which time more than forty thousand people filed past them, sometimes silent but more often jeering.”

Tucker has this idea that America was "decent" during the 1950s and progressive era. No lying news, no identity politics, no anarchists. His romantic view of the past is addictive but hopelessly idealistic.

Trump is playing the same game as Teddy and Truman.

Tucker grew up during the 1980s and 1990s I believe. Even from what I understand, shit was not as fucked and future was optimistic for majority of the populace. Country was still like 80 percent white at least.

He has acknowledged there has been bad shit in American history but compare the reaction to the LA Riots and OJ Simpson in the 1990s with these riots and the shooting of that drunk nigger in Atlanta. There is a big difference and politicians in the 1990s from both sides were similar in beliefs about America than now. Hell both sides held similar beliefs about America until around 2010 when Democrats started pandering hard to Latinos and the GOP followed them until Trump showed up and put a stop to that.

Trump in the 1990s would have been considered a normal milquetoast candidate, guy had only 7 percent approval in his 2000 attempt and the rhetoric was similar. Shit is so fucked that a 1990s democrat is running the Republican Party (how fucked in the head are the people in this party) and the democrats are borderline embracing communism.

The president is tweeting a random video of a black guy pushing a white woman asking where the protests are. Real fucking subtle. He is sick. Everyone who has enabled him should forever be ashamed.

The president is both sidesing George Floyd’s death and trying to incite a race war on twitter and every single coward in the Senate is going to hide in the bushes or pretend like the real bad guys are the journalists asking them about it.

Media puts out 45 year old video of white kids being mean to black kids. Poignant and important. Be better, white devils.

Trump highlights one of the depressingly common black-on-white racist attacks, a white person being attacked for being white. He's sick, I tell you! Be better, white devils.

Article from the Volokh Conspiracy popped up talking DACA. Notes that Roberts would have nitpicked to kick the can down the road any way he could, but still makes some points about the case anyway.

First, Attorney General sessions wrote the initial letter concluding that DACA was unlawful. He chose to rely entirely on the Fifth Circuit's DAPA decision. Sessions did not offer any additional legal analysis why DACA was illegal or unconstitutional. Why? To do so, he would have had to cast doubt on other areas of immigration law. Consider what would happen if Justice Thomas's DACA dissent was a majority opinion. His analysis would have rendered huge swaths of the INA unconstitutional. Sessions, as a private citizen, no doubt agrees with Thomas. But the AG could only go so far. As a result, he took the unusual step of limiting executive power, but did so in such a precise fashion to avoid upsetting other areas of law.

However, throughout the litigation, DOJ refused to explain precisely why DACA was unlawful. They would only cite on the Fifth Circuit analysis. Indeed, Judge Bates cited my work to demonstrate that DOJ refused to argue this point.

At least one commentator has identified a second possible constitutional argument in the Sessions Letter: "The Obama administration's open-ended reading of certain definitional provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) would run afoul of the nondelegation doctrine." See Josh Blackman, Understanding Sessions's Justification to Rescind DACA, Lawfare (Jan. 16, 2018, 8:00 AM) https://www.lawfareblog.com/understanding-sessionss-justification-rescind-daca; see also Texas, 809 F.3d at 150 (noting that the plaintiffs there had asserted "constitutional claims under the Take Care Clause" and the "separation of powers doctrine"). The government does not raise these arguments, however, so the Court will not consider them.

The infamous Lawfare blog makes a few points. Mostly that Sessions alluded to DACA circumventing immigration law, without saying exactly how, and that DACA was an unconstitutional excercise of authority by the executive branch, without saying exactly why. Tho it sounds like Sessions was arguing that Trump didn't have power over immigration, which doesn't make a ton of sense when you think about how the immigration system sorta operates under the executive branch and even has the Attorney General acting a bit like SCOTUS for immigration courts (with the precedent setting powers).

Recently, the Ninth Circuit invoked the same canon to avoid potential non-delegation doctrine problems concerning the Trump administration’s reading of 8 U.S.C. §1182(f). As I noted in this post, the non-delegation argument fails concerning the travel ban because of the president’s inherent Article II powers. In contrast, DACA was expressly not justified on Article II authority, nor could the domestic policy—which applies to aliens of all countries, equally—be so defended (See page 266 of this article). Sessions’s use of the word “proper” could be read to refer to either or both of these constitutional claims.

Back on the Volokh article, it mentions how then acting secretary Dukes, according to the Times, "did not want her name on what she saw as anti-immigrant policy rationales put forth by Mr. Sessions." So an issue of a lack of decent appointments and weak Sessions staff would leave them without anyone to help make more robust arguments for the DACA case. Then later when later asked by a district court to do a sort of do-over instead made a weak memo that chief justice Roberts ended up discarding.

Once Trump steps in and owns the problem then BLM and the Dems have every reason to go harder and make it even worse.

Which is why Trump needs the voice of the people. For if Trump can get people to call upon him in their time of need, Trump will get the support that he needs. Though this is getting people to admit that they need their president. Which is easier thing said than done.

Nah, fuck that noise. Don't call Trump. DO SOMETHING FIRST. This is the problem with Democrats. All they are willing to do is yell for help, talk or start a hashtag.

They like protesting so much, let them protest outside of their City Hall or Police Headquarters. Let them form neighborhood watches. Let them form private citizens militias.

Just calling out to Trump requires no buy in. Let them actually put forth some effort. They're like people who got their car stuck and want you to help getting it out. If they're not willing to help push their own car, why should you?

Therapy has always been a scam. The move for men to "speak more about their feelings" is not some feminist altruism. It's because therapy has hit the limit on women and children.

There is an entire subreddit dedicated bad therapy. A common thing is therapists calling the police on people and ruining their lives simply because the therapist didn't like them. Adding another stressor/vulnerability to a man does not help him.

There are some nasty tweets in that but I couldn't be bothered screenshotting the entire thing. I realise now that I missed off the tweet that started it - someone saying they fired their therapist because he found out she was a Trump supporter. Specifically he said Trump might go to prison if he doesn't win the election and she dared to reply that she didn't think Trump was a criminal.

Just makes me think of...

I got pressured into talking about my feelings once. Then she pretty much told me I was making a fuss over nothing. I believed her and have done my best not to have feelings ever since.

Arguably Obama enforced law and order better than Trump has during this disaster. All this does is show Trumps base that there is a double standard, the law is enforced against the right but the left can run roughshod over the country.

It's not about if they will vote for him, it shows that there are no consequence for leftist violence. Antifa has been getting away with bike locking the right for years now.

The rallies are going to be where he'll have to show of that he's the law and order president. Remember the mayors control the police, the governors the national guard and high ranking members of the military said they would refuse to follow trumps orders. He couldn't really do anything, the rallies are going to be where he shows he's the law and order president since the police/national guard/ or Secret service won't be able to back down when guarding the president. All we really need is a riot to brake out at one of the rallies and the police to crack some skulls for people to assume that when he's in charge this is not tolerated.

That being said I'm honestly skeptical, the right and trump have enough material for years of campaign attack ads and yet the best they can do is retweet a meme video since the riots. If they don't get their shit together now he may lose.

Why does the TDS crowd always talk about or have therapists? I'm not even making a political dig - every one of them seems to bring up therapy all the time. Is it as ubiquitous with them as it seems, or am I just out of touch and it's the ssme rate as the general population and I never noticed? Is therapy just a magic buzzword for these people, the same way most most people vent about stuff to friends? Do they have friends they can talk to about this stuff, or it some 1984 self-censorship to avoid being caught doing wrong-think? isn't therapy supposed to be uncomfortable? A therapist should be someone who is guiding you to resolve your issues, not a friend cheering you on.

1. Most of them don't have real life friends to support them and tend to be such awful people that the only people they can get to talk with them about their lives are people they pay to do it.

2. That side of the political spectrum is based much more on how you feel, think about the current riots it's not that cops are gunning down black men for sport but it's that they feel that the cops are. Their emotions controll them and run rampant including negative emotions which they think a therapist will fix.

3. Social media did a great job giving everyone emotional incontinence and mass media and education has taught them that they need to let those emotions run wild instead of control them.

4. They actually believe what they say, if you belived hitler 2 was in office and that there were white supremecist around every corner you would be stressed and if you could pay someone to listen to you wouldn't you.

I have no idea how it is where he is but it's already hard enough for people that need help through therapy to find what they need, be it due to no vacancies or any other numerous reasons. If someone is seeking out therapy it's usually due to them in critical need for help and are in a very vulnerable state, one that they don't think they can get out of without outside help. Imagine you've been searching for weeks to find help only to have this ass deny you help because of your political beliefs.

God, now I'm concerned about how many of these loons are in the field with access to very vulnerable people and are actively pushing this crap onto patients.

Therapy has always been a scam. The move for men to "speak more about their feelings" is not some feminist altruism. It's because therapy has hit the limit on women and children.

Therapy does have its place but there are too many bad therapists that suck at their job and don't help at all while sucking up your money. It can help people but it's basically luck of the draw you'll get an actual good therapist.

The entire area of mental health is a mess anyway: testing is expensive so many people forgo it, many get scared off of asking anyway because many just think you're after the drugs, related is some doctors default to just assigning powerful drugs that fuck people up, terrible therapists that don't help or make things worse, and the list goes on.

I don't understand the logic behind this line of thought, which I'm seeing a lot. The most crucial ingredient to getting reelected is to actually have everything going well and letting that speak for itself. That's 80% of an incumbent's case for themselves. The other 20% is them making the case for themselves and against their opponent.

It's a waste to try to make the case against Biden at this very moment because it's gonna get drowned out by everything else. Let Trump get the pandemic behind us, the economy all the way open and the riots ended first. Then make the case against Biden.

I'd love to see Trump fully back on offense ASAP but the reality is that he can't right now. Defense is far more important at the moment.
