Here's an idea: how about putting together an article about people with traditional normative values who are forced to endure the foolishness, depravity and deviance of living in a liberal community?

 

 

 

FFS. What a bunch of tripe. Sure, let's examine the lives of two teachers and their thoughts on Trump. SMH. The only thing about that puff piece that surprised me is that it didn't end with them both leaving the husbands and moving in together.

"The coven."


Really. Edit: Methinks her husband knows what she's talking about with her best buddy on those long, woodland hikes now.

"It's baffling that someone who has sex with the subject of his glowing puff piece articles making now-retracted accusations against our organization is a credentialed member of the press," an NRCC spokesman said. "This is a sad day for proponents of journalistic ethics along with those who read Playboy for the articles."

The Coming Implosion of the Democratic Party

by Roger Simon

 

 

At first glance, it’s bad news for Donald Trump.

He’s losing his easiest mark for the 2020 general election: The Bernie Sanders campaign is not only toast, it’s burnt toast.

Super Tuesday was a disaster for Bernie

The future primaries don’t look any better. Actually, they’re worse.

 

{snip}

 

What Sanders has been attempting for eight years now is essentially a hostile takeover (by a registered Independent) of the Democratic Party, turning it into a Socialist Party, with or without an upper case s.

 

This caused the party to move further left than it wanted to in the days of Hillary Clinton. Now, in the era of The Squad (Ilhan Omar, AOC and Company) that embraces Sanders (and vice-versa), they are being forced yet further left with huge tax increases funding such unpopular programs as free healthcare for illegal aliens (why not spa stays?).

 

Clintonista James Carville, among others, was yelling “basta!” Someone had to stop the Democrats from turning into that Socialist Party before it was too late. Electoral disaster loomed.

 

His prayers were answered with Biden.

 

Or were they? Joe was basically the last man (barely) standing of a mediocre lot. They were all more or less “Bernie lite” now, having been pushed that way. The Democrats were already too socialist. Short of implosion, there is no turning back.

 

Two hurdles could interrupt Biden’s march to the nomination, however. One is obvious: his proclivity for gaffes, some of which indicate a deficit it’s not PC to talk about. Nevertheless, it’s clear the former veep is not a young 77.

 

The second is more ominous: corruption. This is not just the Ukraine/Hunter/Burisma affair we have heard about ad infinitum. That’s bad enough. More important is China and Biden’s overly-friendly relationship with the communist regime (that also apparently enriched his son Hunter).

We all remember the naive “China is not an enemy” comment the former vice-president made, scoffing at the possibility. He shortly felt constrained to walk it back. And that was before the coronavirus jumped the Pacific.

 

Sanders could utilize this were he not so friendly to communism himself. The entire Democratic Party is caught up in this double-bind. They are the people who screamed “Russia, Russia, Russia” in alarm, practically until our ears fell off, while being the same people who proposed the Russian reset button only a few years before.

 

So who are the Democrats anyway? An association for power, clearly. But now that association is split between the establishment and the socialists, roughly 60-40.

 

This is untenable. All that holds them together is enmity for Donald Trump. Without that they wouldn’t even be the semblance of a party anymore.

 

Indeed, they’re probably not, even with the pervasive Trump hatred. If Biden were to stumble, Bernie would not easily move in to replace him. The establishment would block him immediately with a new candidate.

 

Hillary? She’s been curiously silent of late. Why isn’t she joining the claque backing Biden? And what about Obama? Are they planning something?

It doesn’t matter. The party has already effectively split in two. It’s hard to see how they can reconcile.

 

The convention in Milwaukee this July may be the end of the Democratic Party as we know it.

While my preference would be for all the wackiness of the Democratic Party these past 40 or so months to result in moderates either taking control or splitting off into an actual viable 3rd party that resets them back towards the mainstream; until actual Democrats (besides DR who seems to have left that party) start predicting the party will break up / have a reckoning, won't put much heed into the predictions from outsiders that they will.

 

Too reminiscent of when the predictions were that the Republicans were going to completely splinter back in 2008 & even 2016.
