I stopped watching the NHL when a bunch of European players decided they shouldn’t play because a black guy pulled a knife on cops and got shot.
But it just occurred to me that Seattle named their new team the Kraken. I say all pedes adopt the team as our official mascot. The dumbfucks won’t know what to do.
Congratulations on naming your pink team in a commie shithole after a MAGA mascot, Gary.
What if folks just started making multiple accounts, all with the name Donald Trump? Just spitballing, here.
And I’m mashing refresh on New instead of sleeping. When all is supposedly lost, Lin Wood starts some must-see TV. If this really is the end for Trump (and I’m not sure it is), it’s maintained its entertainment value from beginning to end. The communist overlords are going to be so fucking boring....
Bad idea. Today’s events were exceptional, hence all the doubting that they were what they appeared. It won’t happen again, especially if people are armed (they won’t let anyone armed get close to D.C., let alone the seat of government). Don’t even think about trying it.
All politics are local.
This could very well be a stretch, but bear with me, here. If you're a listener/watcher of War Room: Pandemic, then you probably have Miles Guo's "Fight for Hong Kong" tattooed on your brain. Thanks to some posters here, I listened to whole song. It reminded me of something, a song, probably late '80s or early '90s hair metal, but I couldn't place a finger on it (aside from the obvious "We Will Rock You" similarity).
Days later it hit me: "Bang" by Gorky Park. Then something else hit me: a song about fighting communists reminded me of a song that had the gimmick/significance (take your pick) of signalling the fall of the Soviet Union 30 years earlier (or at least being on that path).
Maybe they're similar, maybe they're not; and "Bang" wasn't about fighting communism (it was about saying "da" to banging). But it played into my newfound awareness/delusion (again, take your pick) that every damned thing that happens is not only significant, but an echo of the past (which is, itself, an echo). I posted on here a few weeks ago that I had the same feeling watching Alex Jones in the GA Capitol and the patriots rallying in DC that I had watching the people standing on the Berlin wall or Boris Yeltsin on a tank outside the Soviet parliament building. There's a little adrenaline rush, and a feeling of eventuality. The Soviet Union was on its last legs - it was just a matter of time.
Here are the songs. Listen for yourself: Bang: https://youtu.be/lrSKG3TS0uE Fight for Hong Kong: https://youtu.be/TMBeTgSMrs4
Joe wandering around in a dress shirt, black socks, and tighty whities muttering, “B...but my buddy Bakraken Obiden said I won the.. you know... the thing...” as Hunter rips a line and fucks the turkey.
If you don't watch or listen to Steve Bannon's Pandemic: War Room, start. Maxey has zero fucks to give and tells it like it is. Yesterday's (paraphrased), "When I was growing up, Thanksgiving was a time for the older folks to reminisce about the past, and for my family there was a lot of talk of WWII and the fight against communism. In two days, when you face your children, are you going to face them as cowards?" was pure fire.
It’s almost 3 am EST and New is brrrring like the electrical meter at Caesar’s Palace. Best cyber criminals ever!
He just went on an epic rant about Ned Staebler, his ties to Bear Stearns, the bailout, GW Bush's incompetence, and on... Nice to see the folks in the spotlight get as pissed about all this as we are.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (yes, I know you already feel free to do so):
We need to not hyperventilate too much on lower court rulings. Logically, if a ruling goes against Trump, he will appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. Now, if some court blows China Joe out of the water, I'd imagine he would... appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. I think a lot of this stuff is going to SCOTUS regardless of what happens today, tomorrow, or the next day. So, keep your powder (and your panties) dry until the time comes.
Sorry if this is a repost. Great interview from Steve Bannon’s show today; Ben Bergquam talking time an African-American veteran about America and walking away from the Democrats. The video is more powerful - at the end you learn (unless you were astute enough to notice earlier) that he is wheelchair-bound. Really powerful message. Look out for people cutting onions nearby - they sneak up on you.
The player and share options either really suck or I do, so here’s a link to the podcast; interview starts around 34:40

To 1990 or so (I was early teens) with Boris Yeltsin speaking from atop a tank, Soviet officials claiming they were in power, people taking to the streets, the situation changing by the minute.... We’re watching history in real time.
Bannon and guests putting it in perspective. The news media calling it is simple information warfare. Don’t let it bother you one bit. We knew it was coming.
He just said that we need to steel ourselves and show resolve. There will be good days and bad days, and a few very bad days. Today, he says, is shaping up to be a very bad day, probably with more coming this weekend. Don't give up just because some bad things happened. HOLD THE LINE.
Former CIA agent Sam Faddis (@realsamfaddis on Twitter) was just on with Bannon. They're having a rally tomorrow at noon in front of the convention center in Philadelphia. He gave the corner, but I don't remember, exactly (Arch & Broad, I think) - google it. He said he wants every Pennsylvanian there. Show them you won't put up with this shit.
Watching Steve Bannon now, with an incredible explanation of what can happen from the Claremont Institute's Brian Kennedy. Big point: the United States is a republic.
Once everything is settled, I would urge everyone to educate themselves on the founding of the US, the Constitution, and our government in general. Read the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, the Anti-Federalist Papers, etc. Understand the system under which we live.
One point that this has brought up for me, and please let me know (I know you will) if I'm wrong, but the argument for the electoral college being that it keeps cities from imposing their will on rural areas isn't quite accurate. It's a terrific byproduct, but it's not the point.
The president presides over the union of states, not over a monolith of citizens. The states decide on the President. A compromise with true democracy is made - the people vote on who their state will choose. It still might seem "unfair" that a hugely populated state gets the same vote as a minimally populated one, so each state gets votes allocated by their population (their number of representatives). THAT is why we have the electoral college - it is the method by which the states vote. Technically, he doesn't preside over us, he presides over the union of states.
This is also why, if everything goes straight to shit, the election goes to the House, with each state getting a vote. Despite everything you've been told over the years, we didn't vote directly for Donald Trump on Tuesday - we voted for a vote, in essence.
One more pet peeve - this is why changing the Senate to popular vote is asinine. The Senators were supposed to represent the interests of each state's government, while Representatives represented the interests of the people. As it stands now, you can't be blamed for asking, "Why the hell does the Senate just get more of a say in things if they're just more elected jackasses?"
</end meandering rant>
"Go ahead, run around the White House, we don't care." (paraphrase) Even better: "Embrace the suck, progressives." This guy is a warrior for Trump.
Do we know anything about use of felt-tip markers in Michigan? Someone apparently contacted the Crowder show about using one in Ann Arbor. Does anyone know or have any info on whether ballots are being discarded in MI because of marker use or bleed-through? I was given a felt tip marker at my polling place and it did bleed through.
Newsmax is getting cucky about GEOTUS giving the media “ammunition.” FUCK THAT. He took control and rightly called himself the winner, and rightly pointed out that the media and Dems are trying to cheat their way to victory in a race they did not win. He positioned himself as the winner, not some pussy, wishy-washy “we’ll see” horseshit. The gauntlet has been thrown. The fight is on. And he’s our alpha.
We all say it - big tech, media conglomerates, etc. are enemies of the people. Trump needs to get this victory - and I’m feeling good that he will. But that can’t be the end game. How do we, as a sizable portion of the populous, break the stranglehold? That needs to be our mission for the foreseeable future, not just the next four years. This bullshit cannot go unpunished.
