I was just in a crowded Costco in Delaware. I got a lot of compliments on my 'We beat Medicare' Tshirt.

In modern times, since it purged its last “Blue Dog” Democrats from the party decades ago, the Donkey Party has been best known for its slavish homogeneity. Besides a brief Bernie flareup a few years back, intra-party conflict is nearly unknown to Democrats.

But now, suddenly, intra-party conflict is stratospheric.

The Democrats’ worst-case scenario —which they have been calling a “doom loop”— is a highly-public and legally questionable battle to remove President Cabbage from office under the 25th Amendment. They had a piece of political kryptonite — the deposition audio that convinced Special Prosecutor Robert Hur that the Generic Vegetable is mentally unfit to be tried. But they buried that audio under sixteen layers of classification, and maybe only Biden can now unclassify it.

In any case, we are witnessing a special, once-in-a-lifetime kind of irony. Books will be written about this. For far too long —longer than I’ve been paying attention— the United States perfected an evil, grotesque strategy of slyly undermining foreign governments through what are euphemistically called “color revolutions,” which involve using media to inflame political differences until the country destroys itself, shattering into a million bloodstained pieces, and letting a deep-state tool take over.

Coincidentally, the CIA’s color revolution strategy was perfected in the 2014 Maiden Revolution in Ukraine ...

The point is, a color revolution is now being waged against President Starfruit and thus, against the United States government. It is literally the same kind of revolution the neocons waged against the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014.

Yesterday, Insider Paper claimed that the Clintons have joined Team Biden against the Allied Anti-Cabbage forces:

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have privately been
supportive of Biden's decision to stay in the race
and have been actively encouraging donors to stay
with him

This news provoked a series of wild online conjectures that Hillary Clinton will become the Democrats’ next nominee, which could only happen over President Obama’s dead body. But Hillary already lost to Trump once, so why bother?

A coalition of forces is emerging: Team Clinton versus Team Obama. Who should we root for?

Lol, a civil war between Obama and Shrillary would be very entertaining.

It would be a shit show for down ballot Congress critters. It's not just Obama and Hillary. You could see Bernie jump back into the mix. There's obviously Newsom. Kamala. Probably others that would come out of the woodwork.

They have to let Biden run and lose and shift focus. They can cock/pussy block everything if they get the house, which is their easiest path. POTUS is over.

WookieMan says

They have to let Biden run

Apparently not.

look around at all these movements and how they spiral into ever accelerating outrages and assaults. it’s not an accident nor even a strategy, it’s an unavoidable emergent property of rule by moral relativism and misguided empathy and guilt manifesting as deference to the damaged and dangerous.

once you tell people that being reviled by society means status and virtue, you’ve created the most adverse of selectors and the only way to turn it off is to stop lionizing this performative aristocracy of the most addled and performatively demanding.

they won’t get better or mature or learn to heal themselves, these are children who are being given not only cookies but the keys to the kingdom every time they burn the house down.

empathy and elevation does not aid these people. it’s pathology fertilizer.

mistaking this for “helping” is not a mistake a society can long survive.

the good news is that this sort of pathocracy cannot survive either.

past a point, its embedded need to double down over and over again rapidly makes it ostentatiously insane to the point of being unrecognizable to reasonable people and the spell shatters. the perpetrators and aficionados of these debacles rarify to the degree where they have no idea how far gone and how far out of step they have become.

it goes one exponential too far and the whole thing becomes unmistakable garbage, bereft of mission, message, or meaning. it’s just a contest to be the most odious and conspicuous outlier.

and we’re there. right now.

you wake up one day, and this is the opening ceremony for the olympics and suddenly pretty much everyone simply says “nah.”

you guy’s putting too much faith in Republican party. you think they will be different? you think they aren’t sucking up to same corporations and lobbyists? you guys forgot how they do exact same shit as democrats, only difference is tax cuts for top earning corporations

True, but Trump is different from mainstream Republicans.

Trump won't start wars, or outsource to China, or insource illegals. Mainstream Republicans do all of that, just like Democrats do.

So what we really need is for the Trump wing of the Republican Party to oust all the paid-off Republicans.

“Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination,” Wisconsin law reads. “The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person.”

That would explain dosing Joe with remdesivir.

The Democrat "fracture lines" are patched with Democrat-style deficit - spending

such as for Medicaid now +$120 billion more than Pentagon annual budget, +$160 billion for student loan forgiveness (even though the federal courts have ruled mostly against this), the inflation-increase act (or green new deal), etc

That is why the elephant in the room is Trump's tax cuts which expire next year

Trump needs to avoid the petty banter over identity politics and Woke ideals like transgender indoctrination by public school teachers, and focus on Harris being the Soros Prosecutor from the failed liberal experiment California, and an Open Border Czar

Now the 2024 deficit is projected at nearly $2 trillion, and $400 billion more than the Congressional Budget Office forecast
