So, I’m OK with whatever the left wants to believe. But can they just for a few minutes be consistent? For 8 fucking years I heard that the Constitution is irrelevant, because you know the reasons. Now all of the sudden, the Constitution is sacred and we’re having a Constitutional crisis. For 8 fucking years I heard that deficits don’t matter. Now all of the sudden they are critical. Do these people ever even remember the things they’ve said in the past, for years? Because it’s all right there in the internets. Or are they just shameless liars and hypocrites?

Absolutely shameless, because they’re not really concerned about constitutions or deficits at all. They want power and they’ll say whatever’s expedient at the moment to get it.

“It’s appalling. It’s a misrepresentation. It isn’t even the release of intelligence material. It’s a release of a distortion of it,” Pelosi said. “They’re not representing the facts to the American people, and yet the president has given it his imprimatur. This is unprecedented to the nth degree.”
Ok, Nance, let me humor you here. If it’s NOT the release of intelligence material, how can it be an intelligence breach? If it’s fake, why are you, Comey, and a lot of others shitting your drawers?
Also, prove what you say and call on the FBI to release the REAL intelligence material so we can all see it? That would prove your point, right?
Yeah, a lot if not most are. Others are just not that bright, and others just don’t bother to think things through and just parrot the talking points of whatever side they want to identify with.

Not only that, but all these people screaming Constitutional crisis! It’s false, it’s lies! But again, what has become typical of left, to a point of parody, is that they can’t explain what Constitutional crisis means or why it’s fake or lies. If slightly more than half of American were of normal level intelligence, these people would be laughed out of town.

Well, they’ve got no respect for the actual U.S. Constitution so I guess at this point they’ve substituted some other constitution in its place, mentally.

Almost certainly. Of course the adoption of the hive mind has a certain set of implications, doesn’t it.

And yet, increasingly, it’s folks like Woods and not the Danks who are unwelcome in LP circles. The Danks get gigs in their presidential campaigns.

I had a friend tell me he is an anarcho-syndicalist . I didn’t have much of a reaction it’s far from the stupidest political thing I have heard since 2015. Sadly he has a better grasp on politics and reality than a lot of the people I went to school with.

Well, he’ll have to get all those unions set up first. Unions different from the current ones, because the current ones are political entities. Then he has to eliminate those competing unions. Then the syndicalists have to get control.
There’s a reason that the Twentieth Century Motor Corporation only appears as a wrecked, defunct company in Atlas Shrugged.

Inside information. That’s how.
He has the original piss dossier.
I’m not saying SF is Christopher Steele, but I’m not saying he’s not.
I am going to have to mull that one over. While drinking a Diet Coke, of course.
Swiss Servator glared at me until I made it.

He’s learning The Way of the Fist.

Hope isn’t Thicc – Sanders is the one with more junk in the trunk.
Well, what good is she then?
She serves the Orange…
She serves the Orange? Like Jim Boeheim?
Also: would, definitely.
Cute, but she needs to get some meat on them bones. I’ll check back when she THICC.
