Trumps supporters have paid 40 million dollars toward his legal bills not toward his campaign that he has them believing.

Liberal, so concerned about how Trump spends donations

That’s their money and right

What have Biden supporters have cost USA ?

Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine

$75,000,000,000.00
Vs
$40,000,000.00

For every dollar spent on Trump defense Biden spends $18,750 on Ukraine
That is from all USA taxpayers, meanwhile homeless stay homeless. Such compassionate liberals !

There are 2 basic ways. The classic way which everybody is familiar with is to get out in front of the public and shake a lot of hands, kiss a lot of babies, spend a lot of money on TV ads, brag about how great you'll be as the new whatever, bad mouth your opponents etc. That's the way most people believe elections are won or lost, whoever does a better job at all that stuff.

Then there's another little known scheme which works remarkably well that nobody talks about, at least not in public and never where the opposition can get wind of it. It's very effective, in fact, it's so effective it actually works too well sometimes and the worst outcome can happen and in fact has happened at least twice in the last 20 years. The scheme worked perfectly in 2004 and got George Bush re-elected for a second term. The scheme worked so well in fact it was employed again in 2008 and backfired because Obama won the presidential election and that was not supposed to happen. The scheme couldn't be employed against Obama's re-election for reasons you'll understand later.

Here's the basic idea of the scheme: If your candidate is weak, make every effort to assist a worse candidate from the opposing party to win the nomination in the Primaries prior to the main election thus enhancing your candidates chances for a win. In other words, move up by pushing the opposition down.
If the opposing candidate is strong there is nothing you can do but revert back to the classic method including name calling and launching a smear campaign. This was employed by the Right against Obama by inferring he is a Muslim, casting doubt on his citizenship, mocking on his name, yada, yada, yada. It had been employed on Ms Clinton attacking her use of a private email server, Benghazi, and mocking her name IE "Hitlery".

The scheme is possible whenever there is an “Open Primary” meaning voters of any party can vote for anybody regardless of party affiliation. The scheme is most effectively employed in the Iowa primaries because that is the first one in the country and whoever wins Iowa will almost certainly be the candidate in the general election. This is why John Kerry won the Iowa primary in 2004, the Right figured with his Anti-War activism which they colored as Anti American and cadaver like appearance it would be easy for their candidate to defeat him in the general election. Therefore in Iowa, they went all out by getting their party loyalists to vote for John Kerry (a Democrat, instead of voting for their candidate) thus assuring George Bush would have an easy win.
This scheme was most effectively used in the currant cycle when Kenye West was conned into throwing his hat in the ring to steal the black vote from the Democrats. I guess he woke up to the scam and to his credit, dropped out.

This is a very informative video, all the turmoil China is experiencing because people are now demanding freedom

I told my boyfriend that I can’t watch governor Newsom because he’s too good looking. I can’t focus on what he’s saying. I told him so I have to rely on your interpretation. My boyfriend said he tries to tell other states what to do even though he’s governor of California. And you can’t disagree with anything he says because he’s the governor of California. I suppose his only redeeming quality is his looks then.

And no my boyfriend didn’t mind that I said that about Newsom. He’s secure in himself. I’m actually the one ashamed of myself that I can’t even focus on a word he says because he’s beautiful. I’m a sucker for beauty.

Went to a film last night sponsored by our "Camden Conference", which like our NPR (National Proletarian Radio), claims fair and unbiased provision of info to the public, in part at taxpayer expense. It was a sore looser/manic hate feast of never Trumpism, making CNN, the major broadcast networks and MSNBC seem mild by comparison. The moderators were the usual Ivy League children of the well off, replete with the colorful faux glad rags, chic prole baubles and condescending knowing smiles. Large hall with only half a dozen attendees. They delayed film start up in the hope of better attendance, all the while discussing reasons for no shows, saying that there were many competing events. The adverts for the film were like the film itself, with every other word a conger of racist, xenophobe, anti-islam and so on. Clueless that just maybe few came out of disgust for this ueber snowflake non think. Got me thinking, about the overuse of such hate filled words and phrases everywhere in denizens of the alt left. I think the dynamic is, ceteris paribus, based on the psychological defense mechanisms of projection, reaction formation and undoing---with a little defensive smugness tossed in for good measure. The bard had it right centuries ago. Methinks, me Lord, she doth protest too much. Just sayin', peebles. Aa.

66 long years and now the change. The long silence between North and South Korea is about to end.

This is a very historic moment and even the PM of Japan has applauded our President's initiative on this change.

50-48

Now Justice Kavanaugh.

More to come.

Riots will ensue.

Repub control of the Senate has strengthened.
The Senate confirms SCOTUS nominations made by the Prez.

Should The Don (or Pence ) have the opportunity to name another SCOTUS Justice, this is who may well be nominated to replace uber-lib Justice Bader-Ginsburg...




Will this drive lib'ruls completely nuts?
How might they be expected to assassinate her character

Thoughts

...

So, I was trying to think of this, but it seems to me that almost every topic either has a political aspect to it, or can be stretched in that direction during one of our rants. So I started thinking about one of the things that most gets me going on one of my solipsistic spiritual tracks. Just looking at the dark night sky on a clear evening, away from city light pollution. Who doesn't get inspired by the mysteries and wonders there? I'll tell you who. Our animal pals. Bravo looks up at lots of things, ---squirrels, big birds, even some insects when these are close to his big head. But I've never heard of animals, even the highest mammals, star gazing. Same with my great smart dog. But soon I think of things political as related to our universe. But only with a real stretch.

He is big on emphasizing about the illegal immigrants and their negative impact in our country. A man who was deported 20 times, another for 15 times and so on and on.

My question is, how can that ever be possible. The same man who was convicted and deported came back with 20 different names and never got arrested?

Maybe we should just keep them in our jails for the rest of their living life so they wont come back and commit more crimes? Of course, our expense on keeping them in our prison is not cheap either. The report is that about 200 grand per criminal up to a million dollar per year.

Not good no matter how we look at it.

Anyways, Cruz is big on making these criminals pay for their crime. I think he will win if Trump will not run for reelection.
