Quote of the Day
Understand that Democrats and their media lickspittles don’t actually care about anything they pretend to be mad about. They don’t care about the East Wing or group chats or the shutdown or muh democracy or whatever.
Everything they say is intended to manipulate their base into doing what they want. That’s it. What they want right now is violence against their enemies, and every new narrative is little more than an A/B test to determine what is most likely to incite their foot soldiers.
Once you see it, you can never unsee it.

This is a reasonable hypothesis. I have my doubts this is entirely true, but I probably could be convinced it is true.
I think the more reasonable hypothesis is that because of their steady decline in the polls they have been increasing the shrillness of their claims. The side effect is the appearance of wanting violence.
I don’t believe the Democrat leadership is so stupid as to believe violence is a one-way street. Furthermore, I don’t believe they are so foolish to believe that once their enemies perceive they have a green light for returning the violence that, short of a change of identity and continent of residence, the leadership would be physically safe.
Actually they do believe it’s a one-way street, and they will go on believing that until it suddenly isn’t. And then they’ll complain longer and louder than they are doing right now. But hopefully it’ll be too late for them and theirs at that point . . .
So far, it has pretty much been a one-way street. Don’t see that changing as long as the left controls the big cities.
“I don’t believe the Democrat leadership is so stupid as to believe violence is a one-way street.

I’m thinking when your bought and paid for the way the upper caste has been bought and paid for. You do what your told.
I don’t believe they even care that much. Or even understand how to care that much. And themselves getting sacrificed isn’t even something they consider.
As for violence?
20+ million fighting age third-world males. Shutting down military pay, at the same time turning off the EBT?
Not just violence. They want destruction. Total destruction. They want the nation founded for the glory of God to be nonexistent.
Perhaps it would be easier to think of them as satan’s siucide bombers?
This is a war between God and satan’s fallen angels.
Everything else is a distraction.
And what your seeing is that war hitting the streets.
I think your hypothesis, Joe, is far more likely than the one in the quote from Davis. If dems actually wanted real violence they would have bothered to arm themselves: they’ve always been anti-gun, so your average dem has (counts on fingers) zero guns. I mean sure, they can light stuff on fire, but outside of that what real violence do they threaten? The occasional sniper perhaps. But assassinating a few people is only going to be token violence that invokes a far greater response from the other side and is ultimately counterproductive.
On the other hand they’ve demonstrated such complete incompetence over the past few decades that I can’t completely dismiss the possibility that some in the party have just lost their shit and are willing to burn it all down, just as Miller and Voght have clearly decided that they’re fine just doing away with the rule of law and installing a “unitary executive” with absolute power (have we murdered any more Venezuelan fishermen today?). It’s certainly an option.
“(have we murdered any more Venezuelan fishermen today?)”
Like Bracken said:
Ya, I go fishing like this every day. 3, 100hp motors on my boat,(which the fish you catch won’t even pay the fuel for), and I keep my bait in blue barrels.
Try running those boats into China and find out what happens.
And I don’t know, how many drug dealers using those drug boats/runners products OD’ed/murdered people today?
Over a 100,000 a year. But that ain’t a war to you?
That’s just OK because those drug addicts want to get high? That’s the chance they take.
Oh ,and just because your not good at something (violence), doesn’t mean you aren’t violent.
That just means your powerless.
What about those that gained power?
soros, judges, prosecutors, politicians, billionaires, parole board members, are they not in a position to be violent?
You think letting 14 time, lifelong, felons walk the streets is not violent?
Ask Irena. And a thousand other victims.
Think importing 20+ million fighting age males from shitholistan isn’t violent? Or is even slightly legal?
Damn, I hate to think you spout your crap for free.
If not? Try reading a history book tonight rather than smoking a bowl.
Do the math on how many times they’d have to refuel to get from Venezuela to the U.S. in a boat the sizes of what we’ve been shooting and get back to me (spoiler alert: about 20).
And as a side note: Somehow I’ve ended up on Rand Paul’s side, which is a real head-scratcher for me. But apparently he’s the only Republican left who believes in the rule of law: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/rand-paul-condemns-military-strikes-venezuela-rcna238428
Ever heard of relays in drug running?
Thinking Cuba and Haiti aren’t part of it?
Think they don’t load it on legal ships coming through the Panama Canal heading to, say New York?
If one assumes your not getting paid to say crap like you just did?
Pull your head out of your butt, bro.
Or quit snacking on the mushrooms?
Your argument is strong enough that the insults only weaking it.
I’ve come to believe insults are MTHead’s love language….
That’s your answer to the refutation of your argument?
Oh c’mon, you know it is.
Your argument is possible: a relay is certainly an option. But we have no idea if that’s what we’re dealing with, because we don’t even know who was on the boats, nor do we know what was on them. And we know the government/Trump is lying because they claim the boats were transporting fentanyl, but fentanyl doesn’t come from Venezuela, cocaine does. Fentanyl in the U.S. is fabricated domestically or imported from Mexico over land, not by sea.
And then, back to Rand Paul’s point, we have laws about this, and none of them say we allow summary execution if we think maybe you might be transporting an illegal drug of some sort but we’re not really sure so we’ll just kill you anyway. If Trump can blow up people in international waters without any due process, what do you think he’s gonna do when it’s your turn? And if you think he’s on your side and your turn will never come, you’re not paying attention.
Roger.
Sorry.
