In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

Very interesting. Thanks
Glenn represents a guy whose basic principles are the same as those of a conservative: what he said applies to both American conservatism AND American liberalism, both of which are dying or already moribund.
That is magnificent – thank you for posting that!
I just watched “Snowden” finally, recently (directed by Oliver Stone) – Glenn Greenwald was in that story and there is so much that is relevant to right now, I think – also reading Edward Snowden’s autobiography, “Permanent Record” –
one of the points that is so important to take away from reading his story is that things on the Internet are forever – they are there, somewhere – and the deep state/IC has the programs/search engines for finding what they need –
I read another book recently, about Americans who went to the Soviet Union in the early 1930’s to work at an automotive plant that Henry Ford set up there, sending those people along (they were willing as there was so much job insecurity at the time due to the Depression). Most of these people got stuck in Russia – for years and years – a few survived to come back to America – as they realized their terrible mistake in going there, the privations that made it no better than back home, many tried to go to the American embassy in Moscow to get help but were not helped – and then when they went back outside, they were taken to the police station and then their lives worsened very much more.
The “great” secret police chief and deputy under Stalin, Lawrenty Beria was quoted in that book: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” . . . imagine what Beria could have done with all the material to be scooped up from American citizens, courtesy of the NSA.
Here is a link to an article on the “Oxford Eagle” website –
https://www.oxfordeagle.com/2018/05/09/show-me-the-man-and-ill-show-you-the-crime/
While our own government gathers and KEEPS every possible tidbit for later use, why wouldn’t it feasible for a new Lawrenty Beria of our time to make use of it?
I have seen a reality show about the plight of people afflicted with the hoarding problem – I have only lingered there long enough to see a lady who had kept the paper plates from her baby son’s birthday party many years before – there are special things that actually meant so much at the time and they many of them seem to have the heart of a curator, the story and the provenance of each item-
Well, the NSA and the entire IC need to have a special season of a “Hoarding” reality show, let the American people just SEE all the things they have “curated” over the years. Tell us why those Twitter files that Elon Musk was looking for just can’t be found – do YOU have them? Are they actually really gone or do you have them stashed in cold storage somewhere? Will they wind up in yet another reality show, where people bid on items left in storage facilities not really having any idea what surprises they might find.
I read a book, Assignment in Utopia, Eugene Lyons, 1937. Went there (their Mecca) a young dedicated commie in 1920s, came back a pretty virulent anti commie. An absolute must read for everyone. Such a shame it takes people actually living in the hell to become against it.

Anyone here care to share what or how a third party could hand the presidency to DJT? How creditable is this :
https://www.axios.com/2022/12/08/democrats-2024-presidential-election-bipartisan
While speculation runs rampant about which other Republicans might step forward to challenge Trump, a Democrat-aligned think tank is gaming out a peculiar option that would see an unlikely third-party ticket form with both a Republican and a Democrat on the ticket.

it doesn’t matter really. when the donks are in charge the pubs follow marching orders and when the pubs are in charge (which is rarely as a given) the pubs follow the donks in a like manner.
it just doesn’t matter anymore.

I’m not sure but this caught my eye: if no candidate gets 270 then the outcome is decided by the House of Representatives.
It’s yet another reason why it’s SO important to keep the Dems from having the majority! It it’s yet another reason why a RINO is so much better than a Dem, because RINOs contribute to the GOP majority! The people I’ve been arguing with for months need to get an effing clue.
If neither candidate gets a majority of the 538 electoral votes, the election for President is decided in the House of Representatives, with each state delegation having one vote. A majority of states (26) is needed to win. Senators would elect the Vice-President, with each Senator having a vote. A majority of Senators (51) is needed to win. (from 270towin)
Look at that. The House chooses the President and the Senate chooses the VP. So there’s a reason why we should always ensure that the GOP has the Senate majority (among many other reasons, like judicial confirmations).
And then you expect the republicans to do something good for us citizens?
Sometimes they do. Are you really unable to think of any examples? How about the confirmations of Kavanaugh and Barrett? Would you have preferred Dem picks for the Supreme Court?
But there is no guarantee the GOPe in the House would vote for Trump. In 1824, the House voted for Adams even though Jackson had more electoral votes and won the popular vote.
If Trump is the GOP nominee and there is a Dem and a 3rd party, they’re going to elect Trump.
Everyone needs to read and understand that article, nichan. Thank you for posting it!!!
The splitter stategy. It got Clinton the Presidency and unfortunately, Bill and Hillary did a lot of damage when they were OUt oF OFfICe.
At this point I’d take Bill and Newt back in charge, at least things were “normal” and Bill needed to move towards the center.
But it’s beyond splitter. If no candidate reaches 270 then the House decides who becomes President (and the Senate decides who becomes VP). The GOP will have the House majority at election time in 2024.
It is more than you are saying.
Republicans need to control 26 state delegations to win in the house.
Do you know any details about how that works exactly? Let’s say there’s a state with 13 total Representatives and 7 are GOP and 6 are Dem, and let’s say the GOP Reps are in agreement about who they should pick (the GOP candidate, naturally). Does that state delegation then choose the GOP candidate?
I think the details might be in this document but I have to go to bed so can’t read it. 🙂

I hope these people don’t cause a Dem to be chosen as Speaker of the House. Yes it’s possible, if enough Republicans were to side with the Dems we could see someone as awful as Nancy as Speaker, or even Nancy herself.
Seven more House Republicans threaten to oppose McCarthy without concessions on House rules
Threat comes as five House Republicans have already pledged to oppose McCarthy
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/seven-house-republicans-threaten-oppose-mccarthy-concessions-house-rules
Here are the seven, I don’t yet know who the five are:
Scott Perry, PA-
Chip Roy, TX-
Dan Bishop, NC-
Paul Gosar, AZ-
Andrew Clyde, GA-
Andy Ogles, TN-
Eli Crane, AZ-
The last two guys are new and won’t be part of the House until January.
I think these are the five:
Andy Biggs, AZ-
Matt Gaetz, FL-
Ralph Normam, SC-
Bob Good, VA-
Matt Rosendale, MT-

THIS ” CHAPS ” me MORE – COVID Gene Therapy Narrative with the House Arms Services Committee –
OUTGOING Chairman: ” “It saved lives and it made sure that our force was as ready as it could possibly be in the face of the pandemic,” Smith said. “
INCOMING Chairman: ” Republicans said the mandate hurt recruiting and retention efforts. Rep. Mike Rogers, top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, said he intends in the next Congress to examine who was adversely affected by the mandate, “so we can try to revisit that and make them whole to the extent desirable.” “

Today the Chinese government announced an end to their harsh Covid lock down policy to cease the protests. Their Covid specialists say this suggests about 80% of the population will get Covid. One thing that concerns me is could this population 80% if achieved, result in a NEW stronger variant than the 2020 original. I always wished herd immunity had guided our pandemic management in 2020. I had Covid the first week of 2020 from NYC exposure. It was brutal on my respiratory system for 5 days but I toughed it out at home as I didn’t want to go to our local hospital.

Very sweet of Sean Hannity to try to get to the bottom of a US political prisoner in Russia while ignoring political prisoners right here in the US.

The intel community inserted assets into Twitter to create the loophole necessary to control the flow of information, and to silence counter regime sentiment. It’s beyond obvious at this point. All the info that has come out in recent days reveals that conclusion.

I’m curious about what role the government played in Twitter’s suppression of covid policy discussion. We will see with time, I suppose.
