Okay, Don’t Get Your Hopes Up, But …

April 07, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I don’t mean to get you all excited over what may turn out to mean nothing and I am hesitant to place any hope in anybody other than the electorate taking out Trump, but some more bad guys may go down.

 

Interesting sidenote – Sam Patton is scheduled to be sentence on Friday after cutting a deal with Mueller to cooperate.  It’ll be fun to see if he was able to provide information on any other bad guys.

And one new sealed criminal case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was filed this week 1:19-cr-114.

Please feel free to join Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen and me in reading these tea leaves.

    ? Alfredo doesn’t have a link, although I do confess that some people mistake him for the missing link.

  3. I’ve seen the designs for “It’s Mueller Time.” Probably needs to be updated?

    “And Now… It’s Mueller Overtime!”

    Republicans Freak Out As Data Shows That Their Party Is Dying Off.

    Bonus Video clip – A young Mitch McConnell’s very first televised, hyperbolic testimony of a 1984 plan for a Republican takeover of US politics in a closed door investigation.

  6. meagasoid, I don’t know anything about Ring of Fire or where that guy gets his figures, but one thing that he points out is certainly true: young adults in the US have been aware of three Presidents: Republicans George W. Bush and Donald Trump, and Democrat Barack Obama. That does suggest which way a lot of them would tend to lean if they have any sense. (He says they’re identifying as 60% D and 33% R, but I didn’t catch him mentioning any sources.)

    @Rhea 6 Always glad to help out.

    From the article – not the video: text and audio are identical.

    “New Data New polling data compiled by The New York Times has Republican pollsters in full panic mode. The data shows that young Americans are disavowing the Republican Party in record numbers, not exactly the kind of thing needed to sustain a political party. As the older generation of Republican voters move to the great beyond, there won’t be enough people left to keep the Republican Party afloat.

    @Paul 9 As a boomer, I feel optimistic about future generations and just a little less irate.

    I couldn’t resist the McConnell spoof though.

    @megasoid #9:

    The problem is, have the old & dying GOPs sunk the planet as habitable…

    OK, If thats a question, its a sciencey / Jeebus / Mother Nature, Plutocracy, thingy. I don’t have any of those credentials. So give me a break here.

    @ megasoid:
    I have a theory about this phenomenon.
    I’ll bet the Republicans are REALLY sorry they did everything they could, over the past 50 years or so, to hand all food production over to mega-corporations and kibosh the family farm.

    After all, who votes for Republicans? Mostly rural people. Who votes for Democrats? Mostly urbanites. And where is the population mostly concentrated these days? Guess.
    That was certainly not the case when I was born just after WWII. But — things have changed and the Republican tax policies helped it along tremendously.

    So, how many of those young people grew up in small towns or on family farms? I’m guessing, at most, that 33% the Ring of Fire guy cited.

    Democrats are inclusive while Republicans try to convince people not to trust anyone who isn’t just like them. And urbanites get to know lots of diverse people while it’s mostly rural folks who grow up in homogenized settings.

    And across the Republican Party, one can hear a loud collective, “Oops!”

    @twocrows:

    Congratulations. Your theory wins a musical salute, along with Old Fart’s re: annihilation of the Republican Party.

  15. I dunno how smart these kids are. A couple of 20-something trainers at the gym never heard of RBG. “She’s on the Supreme Court now?” I told them to look her up. And it would be on the test.

    @lazrgrl 15 – I’ll second that.

    I was a clinic escort and one day, a young man who had accompanied a patient asked me, “What does ‘Pro-Choice’ mean?”

    Yikes!

    IDK to me the Republican Party is defined as a cabal of idle rich bastards strategizing how to spend their megabucks to keep their pro-wealth politicians in office, and employing Fox News, think tanks, greedy evangelicals and the NRA to make it happen. As demographic change drives their current crowd to the mortuary, they’re hard at work on their next political party.

    If they can’t keep the racial hatred fires stoked, it’ll be some other con. These Social Media Influencers seem like an easily bribed bunch. If not that it’ll be a new wave of libertarian off-the-grid heroes, or a new Greed is Good iteration, or a superhero series of dictators with super powers and a creed that sounds like Ayn Rand, or a gritty anti-democracy anti-hero with a manly grunt and a big gun.

    Have no fear for the real GOP, it never sleeps and it has lots of time and money.
