Saying one thing, and secretly wishing the opposite(?)

If his sorry stinking ass goes to prison, then it helps him and he wins even bigger. So their "reality" is that they want him in prison.

Daddy State run amok.

Timing Is Everything

As de-globalization gets a foothold, and we start to repatriate the jobs companies have been sending overseas for 30 or 40 years, maybe unions really are on the rise in a way that will make a real difference.

🤞🏻


Enemies

Sending beans, bullets, and bandaids to Ukraine now means we won't be sending body bags to Poland later.

Horseshit Strategery

A lot of Dems bad-mouthed Hilary and voted for Stine, or wrote in Bernie, or stayed home, or whatever, thinking they'd send a message. They were totally confident she'd win, but they thought they were being clever by keeping her from winning by "too much".

Now we have a shit load of Republicans telling us they'll support "the Republican ticket" - this in spite of all the bad shit they admit and condemn him for - and I think it's more of the same too-cute-by-half bullshit. There are some real possibilities here, but none of them is "yeah, let's get Trump elected again."

The worst of those possibilities is the Susan Collins Theory: "I think he's learned his lesson", or "We'll be able to rein him in, and while everybody's hoppin' mad because of his antics, we'll get all the plutocracy stuff in place, and then get rid of him." (Call it The Franz von Pappen Plan")

An alternative is kind of a turnaround of the Dems' brilliant shit that blew up in their faces - that they'll vote for Trump, hoping Biden doesn't beat him too badly, and that enough of the down-ballot bozos will be rescued so the party will survive, and they'll have something to take over once they've driven Trump out (assuming the normies find their balls and stand up to the rubes - obviously not something anybody should be counting on).

So anyway, let's see what Bill Barr is up to.
