The Fallacy of False Choice: Why Bill Kristol Keeps Talking Up Another Option….

There is a new awakening amid the electorate; one that has been a long time coming, but it is finally here.  More Americans are aware of the UniParty than ever before.

FACT:  When both teams in the Super Bowl are owned by the same person, the Lombardi Trophy is destined to end up the same cabinet regardless of who wins.

There is only one party in Washington DC, the UniParty.  They are funded by the same ownership, Wall Street; and their legislative victories end up with the same benefactors.  The candidacy of Donald Trump represents a second party option for the first time in two decades.

As a consequence, when Bill Kristol advocates for a Ben Sasse or Mitt Romney candidacy, he is framing the fallacy of false choice.  Kristol can claim his framework is more than a Potemkin village attempt as a counter argument, but the truth is evident in reality.
Here’s proof, empirical evidence, of the UniParty construct.

The Nuttery of Identity Politics – Gender Edition…

Sometimes you might find yourself having an imaginary conversation with the insufferable moonbat pundits on TV:

hillary stroke 2

• Pundit: Candidate Donald Trump has a woman problem…
SD: But he’s winning large majorities of women voters in the primary and polling.
• Pundit: That’s only Republican women…
SD: Well, actually Republican and Independent women, but that’s women.
• Pundit: But he needs to win women in the General Election…
SD: He’s winning women so far.
• Pundit: But that’s only republican women.
SD: Republican and Independent women are general election voters...
• Pundit: But that’s only republican and independent women.
SD: So, you’re saying he needs to win non-Republican women, Democrat women?
• Pundit: Yes, exactly.
SD: Are you saying Democrat women are going to vote for a Republican?
• Pundit: No, heavens no. Of course they’re not.
SD: So why should he change message to appeal to a constituency with no intention of voting for him?
• Pundit: Well, um… because.
SD: Thanks. Carry on.

One of the best Trump attributes in the current political season is his ability to campaign on common sense. Unfortunately for the media enterprise, this makes much of their influential punditry seem silly. It’s not a matter of Donald Trump defying the intellectual logic of the professional political class; it’s more a matter of just plain common sense.

Marco Rubio Reappears – Interview With CNN's Jake Tapper, Praises NATO and the United Nations…

Senator Marco Rubiobot reappeared for his first “on camera” interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper since dropping out of the presidential primary race.

[In an effort to recapture some conservative relevancy/credibility, Senator Rubio met with strategic war advocate Mark Levin prior to Jake Tapper]

Delivering and repeating his scripted and well-rehearsed talking points, a trademark of his political career, Rubio dismissed any notion that he would be a vice-presidential pick for Donald Trump and quixotically obfuscated away from any endorsement; preferring instead to repeat the ‘I-signed-a-pledge’ meme ad nauseam.
In essence the former presidential candidate proved in a post-election interview why he never stood a chance in the pre-interview election race.  Some things never change.


The best part of the interview was toward the end.  After Rubio praised NATO and the United Nations Jake Tapper correctly pointed out that Marco Rubio’s foreign policy, and global world view, is essentially identical to Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The interview became funny because Rubio responded: “but I wanted earlier intervention in Syria”, which left Tapper open to affirm his original framework with the bulls-eye retort: “well, um, so did she” DUH.
After stuttering, Rubiobot quickly moved on…

Paul Ryan Today: "Pretending We Are Unified Won't Put Us at Full Strength"…

House Speaker Paul Ryan gave an interview today to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in Janesville Wisconsin. – AUDIO HERE – One of the interesting and revealing aspects was how Ryan framed the questioning of his visible/pubic opposition toward Donald Trump:

…”We have right now a disunified Republican Party. We shouldn’t sweep it under the rug without addressing it. That would be to our detriment in the fall”…

Ryan Boehner 2
What’s interesting about that statement is the fact Mitt Romney had stronger opposition in early May 2012 than Donald Trump holds at the same point in the nomination process four years later.
Paul Ryan never spoke of “disunity” amid the party apparatus until 2016 and nominee Donald Trump.
Through May 5th 2012 Mitt Romney was opposed by 62.5% of the republican electorate with 37.5% support (Data Here). By comparison through the same period 2016 Trump was opposed by 59.8% with 40.2% support (Data Here).
When you add up Paul Ryan asking CNN’s Jake Tapper for the interview last week (where he publicly announced his concerns about Donald Trump), together with several statements today in retreat, what you begin to see is Ryan was setting up the framework of opposition – then encountered a backlash he did not expect.

Mark Levin Joins Tom Donohue and Sells The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Message…

Radio screamer Mark Levin’s approach at selling his nonsense can be captured within the following quote:

If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you. If you really make them think, they’ll hate you. ~ Don Marquis

Levin’s approach relies on gaslighting an audience into “thinking they’re thinking“.  This was never more clear than today when Mark Levin pens an article calling candidate Donald Trump “A Globalist“, and then assembles a word salad of counter-intuitive arguments to prove a ridiculously false assertion.
Mark Levinetom donohue
However, there is a profound benefit to seeing Mr. Levin completely remove the mask of his crony-constitutional ruse, join arms with Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and simultaneously present himself naked to an audience breaking free of battered conservative syndrome.
The basic arguments made by Levin are so ridiculous, they fall directly into the same category as New York Times economist/propaganda-specialist, Paul Krugman.

Tripwire Alert – Arrogant Speaker Paul Ryan Refuses To Support Donald Trump…

Unfortunately this was predictable in the extreme.  Today Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, stated unequivocally he is refusing to support the republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

red_hair
During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Speaker Ryan went on to say Donald Trump needs to come to him and seek his approval/permission for his nomination.  Yes, in a varied bunch of political parseltongue words, this is exactly what Paul Ryan said.
The arrogance is gobsmacking.  Watch the interview:


Ryan’s arrogant attitude might seem remarkable given the landslide electoral victories, delivered by the voters, to support Donald Trump – who, it should be noted, is on pace to win the republican nomination with a larger vote total than any candidate in republican history.
Adding to the pontificating arrogance factor is the reality that candidate Trump actually won the hometown vote of Speaker Ryan’s own constituency in Janesville Wisconsin. However, when you consider that Wall Street is funding the legislative priorities carried out by Speaker Ryan and his anti-American trade agenda things begin to make more sense. (more…)

Donald Trump Exposes Spasmodic Media – OMG Buzzfeed Aghast Trump Ate a Taco Bowl…

Donald Trump strikes again.  Candidate Trump deliciously trolls the cultural Marxists within the media machine with a simple tweet over lunch on Cinco de Mayo when he shares a menu choice, a taco bowl.

Immediately, spasmodically, the leftist media have a collective ‘splodey head over such a horrific display of cultural appropriation.  STOP THE PRESSES – this is a matter which deserves immediate and intensive investigation…. cue the response from Buzzfeed: (more…)

Annoying, Irrelevant Gnats Will Now Seek Third Party Candidate…

The #NeverTrump team, specifically the punditry within it, are doing what the professionally republican clans do every time they lose.  They pout, gnash their teeth, stomp their feet and eventually carry off their football.
They are annoying insignificant gnats full of self-importance that can be cast into a pit of irrelevance.  These are the same voices who rejoiced when the were granted audience with President-elect Obama in 2008.
These are also the same insufferable small-minded dolts who stand up at CPAC and applaud House Speaker Omnibus Paul Ryan, while never even thinking about -let alone reconciling- the reality of the last federal budget being passed in 2007.
Never trump crowd
When was the last time this group assembled their efforts to protest congress spending the 2009 Stimulus year-after-year-after-year.   Have you ever even heard them mention it?  Did you know our treasury re-spends the trillion dollar ARRA stimulus every year?
Conservatives? Yeah, enough said.
Yes, this group it also includes the intellectually dishonest radio screamer and crony-constitutionalist professional book seller Mark Levin; along with the cheeto-faced religious sycophant and professionally hypocritical Glenn Beck; and we can’t leave out the infamous master of professionally obtuse gaslighting, Rush Limbaugh.
Thanks to Donald Trump, each of these voices are now left flailing wildly in a vain effort to retain their relevance while selling Super Beets.

800 Leaked Pages From TTIP Trade Deal Might Doom Treaties Prospects…

The U.K Independent is reporting that a massive 800 page leak (sourced to Greenpeace activists) of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) may doom the ongoing negotiations.
CENA DE ESTADO EN HONOR DE FRANCOIS HOLLANDE
Interestingly, the aspect that seems most troubling to Europe has nothing to do with actual economic trade, but rather insufficient climate change rules/regulations.

[…]  They indicate that the US is looking strongly to change regulation in Europe to lessen the protections on the environment, consumer rights and other positions that the EU affords to its citizens. Representatives for each side appear to have found that they have run into “irreconcilable” differences that could undermine the signing of the landmark and highly controversial trade deal, campaigners say.
