As usual the village idiot can't get his reading comprehension to kick in.
See, Shooter said he "GENERALLY doesn't click on meat head's links. Not that he NEVER does. He will look when there's a chance it will be funny or at least not leftist propaganda.

So anyway, Shooter took a look.
Here's the thing about Colorado politics. Just Like California and so many other liberal states, the despicables have taken over the cities and rule elections. They run the show the way they want things done, and the end result is the Californication of states. Including Colorado. Every rural county in Colorado could (and pretty much does) vote deplorable, then they count the Denver County votes and that does it.

So even with the tide now rolling against despicables, the chances of anyone but a despicable winning the governors office, or for that matter, majority in the house, is slim to none. Only one deplorable governor candidate has ever won a state wide office, and that was a Higher ed regent. So the deplorable candidates run on the weird shit that they thing will garner them the most attention. Which is what Shooter thinks Lopez is doing, but he knows he can't win. The rest of the deplorables are just as weird.

 

@Anon said, @Scotchlass, you expect me to believe that a man that was pardoned by Trump for elections violations, could be considered objective in producing a documentary about how the election was stolen from Trump... Seriously?
Yes, I do, if you mean being objective while still remaining a Conservative. If you check out the circumstances of his charge, it was pretty much a political conviction involving arcane campaign contribution laws which normally would merit little more than a monetary fine. Honestly. If someone in authority wants to charge you, I specifically mean you @Anon, with a crime, they can find something, somewhere with which to do so. It's that old saw about find me a man and I'll find you the crime.
Ya know, just as a test of this observation, and in the spirit of pure impartiality, many of us here would gladly volunteer to find any dirt which might put you in jail.

@Anon continued, Sorry, not paying any money to watch a movie I know I'll disagree with. You buy me a copy, then I might watch it. Until then, I'm trust my instincts.
That's sort of a refusal to look at facts which might challenge your biases, in that you're smart enough to know that your instincts are biased in one direction (as is the same with pretty much all of us). But you cannot seem to get over the hurdle of acknowledging that you're biased, and that you therefore should be looking for the truth, whatever that is. There is a technical psychological term for someone who believes only their biases and stubbornly refuses to search for the truth, or even accept the truth when it's slapping them in the face. For the life of me, I can't seem to remember what it is now....oh yes, now I do...
It's called being a Democrat.

@Anon finished with, At the same time, I trust NPR to report this accurately. Seems this one point of shooting this murder, it was really disproven...
https://www.npr.org/2022/05/17/1098...are-so-accurate-it-solved-a-murder-thats-fals
More confirmation bias....

As might be expected, Liberals like @Anon will refuse to watch 2000 mules because they have, apriori, made up their minds. Liberal-biased media organizations like the WaPo and NPR are also doing their best to drag down Dinesh D'Souza's new film on the theft of the 2020 election, "2000 Mules." They attempt to do this by attacking his reputation and nit-picking about details which do not address the main thrust of his film. But this allows a Liberal like @Anon to justify quoting them. Thus, this is how Liberals living outside of DC and NYC allow a few coastal elites to do their thinking for them.

On its surface, NPR does seem to make a valid point about one of the claims made about helping solve a murder, and I have neither read nor heard of any defense of this by True the Vote , nor do I know why that claim was even made. However, I suspect there are two sides to this issue and we are, as is typical of Liberal arguments, being presented one side of an issue without being given any context to use while judging.

The larger point remains though. As usual, Liberals have taken a peripheral issue and blown it up, all in a desperate attempt to justify ignoring the bigger picture, which in this case is election tampering and theft.
How, I would ask @Anon, does an erroneous claim about helping solve a murder address election theft?

How 2000 Mules Meets the Standards of Evidence
Posted on May 20, 2022 by Constitutional Nobody

Here, I address the impossible standards of evidence Philip Bump of the Washington Post attempts to impose on the film as a desperate attempt to attack the integrity of "2000 Mules."

You nailed it, @Scotchlass .

On the one hand the despicables howled and twirled at the release of a pack of unsupported assertions, outright lies and political hatchet swipes with the Steele Dossier. It has since been proven to be what it is, a political dirty tricks move beyond all prior reason that is certainly a bigger scandal than Watergate. But, little or nothing will ever come of it.

The standard of proof a despicable requires is dependent more on political agenda than real world facts. It is a waste of time to point out this hypocrisy to a despicable however. They just howl "lies!" and move along, happy in their fantasy world.

No matter. Midterms approach, and they know it. Like everything else however, if it doesn't fit their wet dream wishes, they deny it and whistle happily along.

Their defeat will be most rewarding.

 

LOL, I've already told you, I've no intention of paying to watch this crap! But hey, you go right ahead and lie about what I said. If you pay for it, I'll watch it!

 

Um, @anon_de_plume where did you get the idea that @Scotchlass owes you anything?
She is NOT the Federal "give away for free" government.

 

Where exactly did I say she owes me anything? You putting words in my mouth again?

 

Can't.
Your foot is in the way.
Again.

 

Poor anon.

New District Map Creates 8 Congressional Battlegrounds in NY State

A new 10th district covering lower Manhattan and a slice of Brooklyn — suddenly without an incumbent — may create an opening for former Mayor de Blasio, who threw his hat into the ring on Friday. He faces a strong progressive challenge from Mondaire Jones.

The map also created no fewer than eight competitive districts — where neither party received more than 55% of the average vote in the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections.

With the current Democratic majority in the House hanging by a thread of just five seats in November, the Empire State’s new districts have the potential to swing the Congressional balance of power for the entire country.

Here are the eight in play:---https://resistthemainstream.org/new-district-map-creates-8-congressional-battlegrounds-in-ny-state/

Washington Dem socialist congressional candidate calls for breaking into empty homes
Rebecca Parson, a democratic socialist, also says the minimum wage should be $30/hour

Washington Democratic congressional candidate Rebecca Parson has a bold idea to get Congress to pass housing legislation: have a million people break into empty houses.

Parson, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is running to represent Washington's 6th Congressional District. In a video ad, she outlined what she and her followers can do if she wins.

"Imagine I proposed a Housing for All Bill in Congress, Then imagine you, me, and a million of our friends took action and occupied empty houses nationwide. They couldn't ignore us," Parson says in the ad.

"No one has ever done anything like this," Parson continues. "That's why it's going to work."

Fox News reached out to Parson's campaign for details of the plan, but they did not immediately respond.

On the surface, the strategy appears to amount to trespass, a misdemeanor in Washington, although state law does say that it is a defense if the property is abandoned.

Occupying buildings is nothing new for Parson. In 2020, she was a spokesperson for the group Tacoma Housing Now, which organized a group of homeless people in 16 rooms at a motel in Fife, Washington. The group paid for one night for the rooms, then demanded that the city and state government pay as the people refused to leave, according to local KING5.

The people finally left after six days when police showed up and ordered them to get out.

Parson, who says she has been homeless herself, also has an atypical position on the minimum wage. While those in the further left part of the Democratic Party often support a $15 minimum wage, Parson would prefer to double that.

"The minimum wage shouldn’t be $7.25. It shouldn’t be $15. It should be $30," she tweeted, adding that this "is the bare minimum in every county in the US for an adult with a kid to afford housing, food, healthcare, basic necessities."

Parson previously ran for Congress in 2020 and lost in the primary.

 

Georgia voting shattering turnout records after MSNBC, CNN, others ran with 'Jim Crow' accusations
Georgia's Election Integrity Act faced blowback from Democrats, including President Biden

Democrats, corporations and the liberal media repeatedly decried Georgia’s Republican-passed Election Integrity Act as the next Jim Crow, but the Peach State is now seeing record-breaking turnout for early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

Last year, President Biden called the law, known as SB 202, a "blatant attack on the Constitution and good conscience," ascribed it as "Jim Crow in the 21st century" and was supportive of Major League Baseball moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta as a response. Biden urged Congress to pass sweeping federal voting laws, including the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Biden, along with Democrats and members of liberal media, argued that the law would deny people the right to vote, especially minority Americans, and could lurch U.S. democracy off balance.

But voting in Georgia is breaking early records despite the state’s "controversial new election law," as The Washington Post put it.

A 70-year-old Black woman that spoke with the Post said she was surprised at how easily she was able to vote.

"I had heard that they were going to try to deter us in any way possible because of the fact that we didn’t go Republican on the last election, when Trump didn’t win. To go in there and vote as easily as I did and to be treated with the respect that I knew I deserved as an American citizen — I was really thrown back," she said.

According to the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, there have been nearly 800,000 ballots cast by Georgians as of Friday, a number three times that of 2018 and significantly higher than 2020, an election year when voting typically increases.

"Major media outlets joined Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden in saying Georgia's Election Integrity Act was ‘Jim Crow’ and would suppress voting," Raffensperger told Fox News Digital. "In fact, SB 202 made common sense reforms that will help ensure confidence in Georgia's elections. The fact that we are seeing record early vote turnout, including record minority turnout, proves that the Abrams/Biden narrative was always completely false."

Such information likely came as a surprise to the Post, which last June tweeted that the law signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp "imposes a number of restrictions" on voting and thus earned it comparisons to Jim Crow laws that "effectively blocked Black men and women from voting in the American South."

An attached article argued in part that the new restrictions are "likely" to make "disproportionately more difficult" for people of color to vote.

Two months earlier the paper’s editorial board asserted that Republicans had adopted a strategy in many states, including Georgia, of making it more difficult to vote.

"No, that is not a full return to Jim Crow. But it shows a toxic hostility to democracy that no Republican can take pride in," the board concluded.

The Post was far from the only media organization to tout the Jim Crow narrative.

A March 2021 article from attorney and author Teri Kanefield in MSNBC ran with the title, "Georgia’s ‘Jim Crow’ voter suppression bill is now law. Here’s how Democrats can fight back."’

‘"Jim Crow in a suit and tie": Georgia passes massive voter suppression bill,"’ a Vanity Fair headlined blared.

An opinion column from the New York Times asked of the Georgia law, "If it’s not Jim Crow, what is it?"

It wasn’t just in print media that liberal organizations flooded the airwaves with rabid criticism of the Georgia law, but also on the airwaves.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said early last year that the Republican voting legislation was the "end of democracy" in America and the beginning of a strategy reminiscent of apartheid South Africa.

"It’s old school American, it’s Jim Crow American," Reid added.

Furthermore, during an appearance on MSNBC, liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was asked by host Ali Velshi whether he agreed with Biden’s comments comparing the law to Jim Crow.

"Well, I’d say it is," Robinson replied. "I mean I did grow up under Jim Crow laws."

"It’s voter suppression, it’s the new Jim Crow," CNN anchor Don Lemon similarly said of Georgia’s legislation and the filibuster.

CNN political analyst April Ryan took shots directly at the GOP, calling them a party against the "browning of America" and actively "cheating at the polls."

Speaking with CBSN, New York Times opinion columnist told host Tanya Rivero that the law was at least "Jim Crow-adjacent."

Democrats Are Scrambling to Find an Alternative to Joe Biden in 2024
By Bonchie | May 24, 2022 10:15 AM ET

Joe Biden’s decline has been apparent since he entered the 2020 presidential race. That COVID basically shut down campaigning during the most crucial months is one of the reasons he’s in the White House today.


Still, you can only hide from reality for so long, and according to a new report, Democrats are scrambling to find an alternative to the current, geriatric president before the 2024 race heats up. New York Magazine’s write-up also features several other very interesting tidbits.

Or as another top Democrat puts it, “He was told in ’16 he couldn’t cut it. He runs in ’20 and everybody rolls their eyes, and he still wins. So why in the world now would he be like, ‘You guys are right. I am old’?” And yet many of the plugged-in Democrats wandered Pinehurst not entirely persuaded, calculating contingencies: If Biden’s health turned, or if his polling truly collapsed, which of the party’s governors might step up and save them from electoral ruin — and the nightmare of a Trump comeback?

I’m a bit confused by the use of the word “if” in this context. Has Biden’s health not already turned? He looks glazed over, barely has whites in his eyes anymore, consistently gets confused, and has periods where he inexplicably ducks out on his duties. For example, Biden has yet to visit Ukraine while his own wife, Jill Biden, has gone. Further, prior to the Russian invasion, it was Kamala Harris, not the president, who went to Europe, failing spectacularly to ease tensions and prevent the crisis.

As to Biden’s polling, on what planet is a -12.8 percent approval rating, with his topline average coming in at just 41.3 percent, not him having already collapsed? Is the suggestion that his poll numbers could actually go lower? I’d hate to be around for that if it happens because I’m struggling to think of how domestic and world affairs could get much worse than they currently are. What’s the next step that’s going to knee-cap Biden further? Nuclear war?

But the framing here is typical of a liberal publication like New York Magazine. They know what’s actually happening here even if they, and Democrats-at-large, don’t really want to say it out loud in order to make themselves feel better.

Still, the scramble behind the scenes to prepare for life after Biden has begun despite his loyalists not wanting to entertain anything but the senile old man remaining on the top of the ticket.

His inner circle’s insistence that his doldrums will pass, that there’s no cause for concern, is of little reassurance even to some close allies in the party. One person who fits this description has tried casually mapping out ways Biden could get away with avoiding a reelection bid without losing face, if it comes to that, such as insisting he is too busy to campaign because he’s trying to prevent Russia’s invasion of Ukraine from turning into World War III. But the ally hasn’t gotten anywhere. As this person puts it, “The fumes from the paint in the White House are pretty strong”…

…This “Why not at least think about it?” style of reasoning has become popular in moneyed corners of the party, too. Some Wall Street types have started musing about whether former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, who has been overseeing Biden’s infrastructure spending, might be interested. More still have recently become enamored of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, the former Rhode Island governor. Yet no whispers are as developed as the ones around governors like Cooper, whose prospective advocates talk up his liberal accomplishments in a reddish state, or Murphy, whose associates launched a second political nonprofit for him in February but remain wary of the Chris Christie precedent of overinterpreting state-level success.


I find this thinking rather fanciful. The idea that the Democrat Party is going to abscond from its leftwing base at this point and nominate someone like Roy Cooper or Mitch Landrieu reeks of thinking from those too inside the bubble. It’s like the Republicans who dream of a Larry Hogan or Asa Hutchinson nomination in 2024. That’s just not going to happen, and if Democrats are looking for an alternative to Biden, they are going to have to do better than entertain pipedreams.

Obviously, Kamala Harris is the clearest choice, but as the article notes, her personal lack of popularity and the fact that Biden has essentially abandoned her complicate matters greatly.

Relatively few people outside the White House totally buy it. With Trumpism reascendant, ambivalence about Biden’s age and political standing is fueling skepticism just as the image of his understudy, Vice-President Kamala Harris, dips even further than his. The most recent analysis from the Los Angeles Times has her net approval rating at negative 11. The result is a bizarre disconnect within the Democratic Party, with two factions talking past each other…

…Harris has a rapport with Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, with whom she confers regularly, but Biden has let their regular lunch meetings slip from weekly to biweekly to just twice this year.

It’s a conundrum and one that isn’t easily solved. Harris is popular within the base of the party, and she will also carry the black vote in any Democrat primary. As the article notes, that makes her almost a shoo-in should Biden step aside. Yet, party insiders do not think she can win the general election, and I think they are correct in that judgment.

So where do Democrats go from here? Nowhere good is the answer. They are stuck in a kind of political purgatory where the incumbent president is a clearly declining, incapable old man who will be almost 82-years-old by the time of the next presidential election. Yet, the alternative of Kamala Harris is hardly preferable, and machinations to try to place a more “moderate” figure such as Roy Cooper at the top of the ticket are sure to fail and further destroy the party.

These are the fruits of putting Biden in office in the first place when it was clear he was not up for the job. Further, making someone as unimpressive and unpopular as Kamala Harris vice president, who didn’t even make it to the first primary during the 2020 election, has painted Democrats into a corner. They’ve made this bed, and now, they have to lie in it.
