If I'm not mistaken he wouldn't be the first former head-of-State to run for office from behind bars - didn't someone from Italy already do that?

https://www.politico.com/interactives/2 ... ys-choice/
That blew up on her, so in Feb, she tried to patch things up in a WSJ Op-Ed slamming the anti Trump media for trying to divide conks. Well, what did she expect when she did an interview discussing Trump with a leftist, Trump hating journalist?
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-media- ... opin_pos_2
Asked Trump for a sit down, he refused:

Now she's all over the media praising his CPAC speech (I don't believe she was invited to CPAC):
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nikki- ... pac-speech
Your point?

My point? I do NOT want Trump on the ticket. We need to move to a post-Trump era permanently.
Its his party until he gets tired of it. Trump is your Captain now

Fvck that! I'll be making a third choice. They might not have a chance to win but they're be more closely aligned with my personal beliefs.
A question that has been plaguing my thoughts here lately is what is that tipping point for people? And what will it take to get the non-voters to vote?
Thats a strange question given your crowd is doing everything they can think of to make it more difficult to vote.

The tipping point was long ago, it just didn't tip in the direction you're talking about. It tipped in the direction of millions of people who figured out that they weren't the "we the people" the Constitution was talking about and opted out of voting and the establishment in general, to the extent that they can; thats the direction of the future - towards fragmentation and away from participation in "their" game. The unity bullshit everyone is whining about isn't going to happen; it may appear that way but that will be because of the homogeneity of those who remain to participate in the official political system. The rest of us will be deep in the Shawnee National Forest, or the local equivalent, trippin' balls and jammin' bluegrass... :thumb:

Interesting comparison...
“The party” itself was not a party in any Western sense, but a vehicle for a cabal of elites, with a cult of personality at its center. The Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev was an utterly mediocre man, but by the late 1970s he had cemented his grip on the Communist Party by elevating opportunists and cronies around him who insisted, publicly and privately, that Brezhnev was a heroic genius. Factories and streets and even a city were named for him, and he promoted himself to the top military rank of “Marshal of the Soviet Union.” He awarded himself so many honors and medals that, in a common Soviet joke of the time, a small earthquake in Moscow was said to have been caused by Brezhnev’s medal-festooned military overcoat falling off its hanger.

The elite leaders of this supposedly classless society were corrupt plutocrats, a mafia dressed in Marxism. The party was infested by careerists, and its grip on power was defended by propagandists who used rote phrases such as “real socialism” and “Western imperialism” so often that almost anyone could write an editorial in Pravda or Red Star merely by playing a kind of Soviet version of Mad Libs. News was tightly controlled. Soviet radio, television, and newspaper figures plowed on through stories that were utterly detached from reality, regularly extolling the successes of Soviet agriculture even as the country was forced to buy food from the capitalists (including the hated Americans).


Members of the Communist Party who questioned anything, or expressed any sign of unorthodoxy, could be denounced by name, or more likely, simply fired. They would not be executed—this was not Stalinism, after all—but some were left to rot in obscurity in some make-work exile job, eventually retiring as a forgotten “Comrade Pensioner.” The deal was clear: Pump the party’s nonsense and enjoy the good life, or squawk and be sent to manage a library in Kazakhstan.

This should all sound familiar.

SD Legislature passed a bill requiring athletes to participate in sports based on their gender at birth and she had previously indicated she would sign it. Under pressure from the Chamber of Commerce, Amazon, and some others she caved. She didn't technically veto it but she sent it back using language that is intended to be used to fix typos or other bill drafting errors. People are pissed.

She was on Tucker last night and he was ripping into her. I flipped on in the middle of it and didn't quite follow why he was upset but my first thought was they are trying to tear her down before she gains any steam.

Yup. Tucker pressed he on not signing the bill and she spewed out some nonsense about it not being a winning fight with the NCAA. So basically she won't take on the fight for her constituents, not sure why anyone would vote for her after that showing.

If she plans on having any shot to be on the conk ticket she better hope they make some cosmetic change to that bill and they send it back to her to sign..
