Mike,
Something seems to have gotten lost after your Kipling thread…
Kipling seems to have disappeared as well.
Of course, he’s long dead.
What is this thing with the Cuck Love for Tulsi Gabbard? She voted for Shampeachment and I see people saying she should be invited to speak next week at the RNC Convention nominating Trump.
SHE VOTED TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE!
Are these people mad?
Yes, nutters all. Saw it all through the primary. Girl, decent looking, turns heads, that’s about the best one can say. She’s a left wing commie just like the rest.
Looks decent in a bikini, is all I can think of. Same with the attention Tidepod Evita gets.
Which just goes to show that stupidity crosses political lines. Which you probably already knew.
Is is just reality that physically attractive people get more attention paid to them. Even if what they are saying is stupid, they get listened to more than an average person would. Thus AOC and Tulsi Gabbard on the Dem side, with several examples also on the GOP side.
Most of our political class are at least late middle aged, and most are outright elderly verging on ancient. So a young-ish, reasonably attractive woman gets a lot of attention. In Gabbard’s case she is not quite as insane as most Dems and was willing to publicly rip Dem favorites like Harris and Hillary, so she gets attention from the squishy sort-of right types. But any look at her record shows she is pretty much a standard issue leftist other than being opposed to the forever wars.
There might be some value is having her speak at the RNC, but only if she would endorse Trump. And I doubt she would ever do that, despite the DNC freezing her out of their primary debates. She is a politician and ambitious for higher office given her throwing her hat in the ring for the Dem nomination. My guess is she hopes the crazier wing of the Dem party crashes and burns, then she can make a run for governor or senator as a “reasonable” Democrat. Given her age, she could then serve a term or even two and then run again for president.
The Dems could do worse than Gabbard, and are. But she is no friend to conservatives.
I’m not buying at.
Dems are very good at talking “moderate” but ALWAYS end up being L:eftists in lockstep with the Party.
She says she is against #NeverEndingWars but votes to remove the first President in the last 100 years since about Coolidge not to get us involved in a new one thus far, having ended much engagement on the ground for American Troops in the ones he inherited.
See? Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.
Shhh, don’t let the military-industrial complex know this. They might try to have the president removed from office or something.
Further on that point.
Joe Biden actually DID what Trump didn’t do to get impeached. Used Foreign Aid Money for personal political and economic gain to stop an investigation which involved his son.
If what President Trump supposedly did (and there was no evidence of that, but let’s play the Tulsi game for now), then what Joe Biden did, and we have him bragging on video about doing it, should be reprehensible to Tulsi Girl.
So, why does she even want to speak at a Convention with him and Endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States?
As I said, Tulsi Gabbard is mostly a standard issue lefist and no friend of conservatives. I do think she is (somewhat) less crazy than most Dems, and they could do worse. (And are, with Biden.) She is suspicious of the MIC, at least, which is something. But she is still a leftist.
Yes, she’s less bad, which in this case leaves real damn bad 🙂
Tidepod Evita = Occassio Cortez?
Heh. I like that. 🙂 I’m gonna steal it.
Hey! You can’t steal that! Not when I stole it fair and square in the first place!
And yes, it refers to Bigtits McNobrains, or whatever Mike calls her.
Dude. You’re mellowing my harsh. Whyfore you want to be like that? Don’t you know that property is a construct of the Patriarchy?
Mike,
The edit function seems to have gotten lost with the malfunction…
Hm. You’re right, Barry. I noticed I had two comment-edit plugins running, and disabled one. It worked last night, but now it doesn’t. Weird, huh? Looking into it now…
No big deal, just thought you would want to know.
Edit: And right on cue the edit function is back 🙂
I’m not much for watching the convention, but I did catch the big dawg, Herschel Walker:

3 minutes, so pretty quick.
Herschel reminds me of every black friend I’ve ever had.
Mike,
Riddle me this: Why don’t you have a Merchandise page?
I can’t be the only one who’d wear a black T-shirt with red COLD FURY on the front. (Or black on red. Whichever more strongly implies “I’m about fed up and cold is about to turn hot”. But that’s a digression.)
Or the Head Banner on White with Cold Fury and the Mad As Hell And Not Taking It Anymore Man and Harshing Your Mellow Since…
Then add the Coldfury.com
I’m in.
Actually, I did have, but it got to be too much to keep up with, honestly. Sales started off pretty brisk–they WERE nice shirts and stickers, if I do say so myself–but that meant I was always late getting orders packed and shipped and such-like folderol. So some years back I set up a CafePress store, uploaded the designs and all that, put up a sidebar link, and…didn’t sell a one, or not that I know of. Now I’ve completely forgotten the login and pass to the damned thing, and…well, heck, you’re right, I need to start all over again with the whole merch thing, don’t I?
I’ll see if I can dig up the old designs and post ’em tonight anyway, just for the hell of it.
Just a reminder, “Who Killed George Floyd?”

Think Sean Hannity is going to report this anytime soon?
Norpoth predicts landslide 362 – 176 electoral win for Trump –
Too early to predict.
I Trust Trump but Fraud is the key variable.
I have no idea myself. 2016, I called it for Trump very early. Now, beats the heck out of me.
Norpoth seems to be pretty good though.
The only reason I say fraud is a variable is because I expect a lot of Trump voters will be scared to vote in person and their mail in votes will be tossed and substituted.
Plus I believe mail-in will encourage them to vote anyone who doesn’t show up by election day to be “found” as the mail was too “slow”.
Yea, I agree fraud is going to be big. I don’t know how to calculate anything this election.
All I know for sure is I plan to spend a couple months on the coast and my bride has already told me to forget absentee voting, she wants to be here in person. 🙂
Trump voters should show up last minute and surprise them. Best way not to signal how many votes they need.
If we don’t get a winner by the next morning, like we always have, time to go afightin ‘
My better half agrees…
