“Hard and cold, like a street of gold
It’s easy to find but so hard to hold
Smooth and strong but it won’t last long
When the rust sets in, she’ll be good as gone”
On that side of politics, you are very often rewarded for failure.
The more spectacular the failure, and the more people that buy into it as it fails, the bigger your reputation, and compensation.
I was told that there was a talent to selling, while warning that the product is a chrome-plated turd. The “True-Belivers” can’t see the deerper message but normals get the content big time.
Gotta be slick about the pitch, however. Not a task for the faint-hearted.
The majority of Dims know full well that the party is little more than a crime syndicate with no legitimate claim to power. And, thanks to TDS, they’re OK with that. But a salvageable minority is realizing this for the first time and I suspect the extent of this exodus of former Democrats is going to shock a lot of people on November 4..
It’s debatable whether they even care any more. The Democratic “coalition” of today consists of a self-anointed “enlightened elite'” and an illiterate, racist mob. Both of which seek to eradicate anybody and everybody they hate, which is pretty much everybody else in civilization.
Stack, Pack, Rack People into little tiny boxes…almost like prison cells.

Take a look at a Soviet-era Russian apartment block. Except for the state-provided vodka ration, at may as well been prison.

Is Jan looking to try to sell BLM a campaign calling them an organization with small town values? It would be great counter-propaganda, showing what they claim for themselves vs. what we’ve seen that they are. Meanwhile, they have decided that they were a bit too explicit about what they want: https://www.foxnews.com/us/blm-deletes-page-disruption-nuclear-family
No, see what they mean by “small town values” is that the mayors and police chiefs sell their souls a lot cheaperthere, and with their msm to amplify and scare the shit out of ma and pa they get a much better “value in small towns”.
A striking viginette of the ethos of the modern dhimpcrapt was presented on Breitbart by Whoopi Goldberg. She was complaining about the taxed paid by the rich, such as DJT, upset her. She told us that her mother used to cry because she couldn’t find the money to pay her taxes. This shows the ethos of the hollywood rich. Her mother fed her and sheltered he, educated her, and even bought her toys, but that didn’t count! Whoopi’s money was Whoopi’s money, not her mothers. All Ms Goldberg had to do was hand her mother a few bucks, or write her a check, and she could have taken this load off her mother. However Whoopi, like the rest of the librul left, didn’t owe her mother anything. It was Orange-man-bad’s fault (despite he wasn’t president at the time). Besides, the republicans are ALL rich and should pay her mother’s taxes.
The real objective of the UN’s Agenda 21 is to get all humans relocated into giant, walled megacities, outside of which there is wilderness that no one is allowed to enter.
Hong Kong is an example of that: pretty on the outside, looks great from a distance, but in reality, the city is mostly a slum.
The intention is to reduce the human population to 1 billion or less. I want to know how the people proposing mean to force Russia and China and other countries to follow that agenda.
Megalomania is not a pretty thing.
Neither is such a megacity. See The World Inside by Robert Silverberg.
Progressives can’t understand why SF readers aren’t on their side. After all, they’re The Future, according to them.
The reason is simple; as readers of “speculative fiction”, we’ve seen their imagined Utopias before- as authors worked out the implications.
And even philosophically “liberal” writers, like Harry Harrison and Dallas McCord “Mack” Reynolds, ended up acknowledging that the various “Radiant Futures” just didn’t work, and that there was no way to make them work.
SFans tend to be moderate conservative or actual “libertarian” because however good socialism feels to those who dream of running it, it fails miserably in actual practice.
And always ends up killing a lot of inno0cent people. either from neglect, ineptitude, or the leaders’ need to maintain their rule by terror- or just because they get off on the bloodshed.
Speculations, like facts, are stubborn things. If the speculator is honest about it.
OT but topical, had a short phone chat yesterday with NYIAC after he moved to high ground there at his Jurassic place to get connected, gist of it was to see if he wants to watch the entertainment at Casa JTC tonight, and based on certain discussions here by DBD’s pretty amazing contributing audience, speculating on whether high-ranking eyes ever view, absorb, and implement any of it, as let’s face it, the R pols and peeps ain’t the brightest idea guys. One specifically somebody here a few days ago had the flash of brilliance that Donald should deflect the first question with a quick aside to Dopey Joe about his boy’s influence peddling. Don’t know if Trump’s handlers caught it but apparently Biden’s did…see the big NYT taxes expose? Just about the perfect foil for the ChiCom payoffs to Joe via his boy the bagman…Purely coincidental timing I’m sure.
Oh, and they laughed off DT’s call for drug testing, ”you want to debate about urine, haha?” Yes Joe, yes we do. What you’re hiding in yours specifically. He won’t do it of course, but I think Trump still should get his done with a printout in hand right on stage (hey does that show testosterone levels? Circle that in red! 🙂 ) And then the question for Unca Joe becomes “why not you
Joe?”
Not so funny now eh, you juiced-up bag of spray-tanned skin and bones?
Come on you half-assed White House flacks, pick up on this and get it done! It will be great, incredible, amazing, best debate gambit in the world! 🙂
What that rag failed to mention is that every business and some people pay quarterly taxes to the Fed and State so they will not be caught flat footed at the end.
Thank ya Mix P. Hey it’s NYIAC how can it not be fun?
More fun if you could make the trek from Cali.With all the horror out there now you might decide that even Flahrduh is an improvement. Probably miss hubby, working on cars, and Various lube jobs though…hey there’s always NotYet! Though he is a rather proper sort.

That’s like saying “Gentlemen!” to the Three Stooges and they start looking around asking “Where?”
Shit the dim activists in South Fla (which includes many gov employees in the election offices), can get a whole box full of votes for that $200 from street people and PR’s down there.
I know all about that. I have witnessed various transactions from afar, and had admissions from people. Statute of Limitations have passed. Hell. I told those that should know in order to respond during conversations over the years. Interesting conversations. Some cleanup.
Today there has been a power outage for the first time in a while. Massive rain, per normal. Internet out per normal. Other matters. I better leave soon. ….. ahhhhhhhh

It’s even simpler in Columbus OH. They just bus the disadvantaged from their subsidized housing to the polls and “help” them to “vote the right way”.
If anybody balks, they’re reminded how quick they could be declared ineligible for the housing and be out on the street.
There’s a reason Columbus has had a D city government about as long as Detroit. And it isn’t very much different.
A story I heard about 40 years ago told about a hard fought Texas primary involving two democrats (in a district usually won by the Democrat). After much infighting, name calling and the like, one candidate won with 130% of the vote to his opponents 120% of the vote.
So giddy to get his taxes out today so he could rag on DT about the NYT’s serendipitous story (right), that he will create the perfect opening when he waves his returns and giggles while he asks Trump “Where’s yours?” To which prez responds “Where’s Junior’s?” Game. Set. Match.
And not according to AOC who is the real Democrat party, said so in an interview recently, something about you don’t have to like Biden, he’s just a way to get what we want…
Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy in 2014 for popping hot for cocaine use in a drug test. https://www.businessinsider.com/hunter-biden-discharged-navy-cocaine-2014-10
Other charges against him were not droppped, contributed to his discharge.
Frankly, Biden’s eyes were awfully dark, as if his pupils were dilated.
Nothing like watching a debate turn into a bitch-slapping contest.
I hope the next event is more um…. okay, civilized?
I felt some sympathy for Chris Wallace, in this mess.
Dipshit Wallace spent more time attacking Trump. Pathetic F-wad kept cutting him off.

Trump addressed that too telling Wallace after an exchange “I’m debating you, not him.” making the point that it was two against one.

Nice truck.

Sure. They take big cities and burn them down to small towns.
