Hey Kids, the word to seize on tonight is MOB. Can you say MOB? I knew you could pounce on it.

 

THE JOURNOLIST IS HOPPING: and DNC talking points are "magically" spread across the country

 

● Republicans have a new name for Democrats: ‘mob.’

—CNN, Sunday.

 

● ‘An angry mob’: Republicans work to recast Democratic protests as out-of-control anarchy.

—The Washington Post, yesterday.

 

● Republicans Seize On Stoking Fears Of Left-Leaning Mob To Mobilize Voters.

Talking Points Memo, today.

 

● The GOP’s sneaky attempt to paint the majority as an angry left-wing mob.

● WATCH: Brooke Baldwin Clashes With CNN Commentator Matt Lewis for Calling Ted Cruz Restaurant Protesters a ‘Mob.’

Earlier: “Here’s the thing: though there is no question that the GOP, like Democrats, play to the anxieties of its base — this is normal politics — there really were, and are, mobs out to get conservatives.”

If Dems refuse to denounce incitement to harassment and murder, make them own it
by Thomas Lifson

 

Original Article

All Republican campaign ads should show anti-fa violence and Maxine Waters pushing for it.

 

With Steve Scalise still needing canes to walk after surviving an attempted mass assassination of GOP congressmen; Maxine Waters loudly urging Democrats to harass Republicans whenever they venture out, even to "gasoline stations"; paid demonstrators pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court while the newest justice was sworn in; and the rank and file urging the murder of Justice Kavanaugh, the Republic now faces a crisis of political violence.

"Weeks ahead of the midterm elections, Republicans have cast the Trump resistance movement as “an angry mob'... a modern incarnation of the law-and-order thrusts Republicans have used before in tough campaigns..."

 
"... most notably 50 years ago, when Richard Nixon used the specter of rioting at the Democratic National Convention to cast the opposing party as the tool of antiwar protesters and violent malcontents.... Earlier this year, when White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was denied service at a Virginia restaurant and when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was heckled by protesters at a Mexican restaurant, Republicans cast Democrats as overreacting and unable to withhold their animus toward Trump.... 'They have encouraged mob rule,' Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said on the Senate floor Friday... Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) wondered on Twitter: 'Imagine the coverage on cable news if an angry mob of conservatives stormed the steps of the Supreme Court building.'... At his Saturday night rally in Topeka, Kan., Trump joined in, asserting that 'the radical Democrats have turned into an angry mob.'"

I'm reading "‘An angry mob’: Republicans work to recast Democratic protests as out-of-control anarchy" by Matt Viser and Robert Costa in The Washington Post.

There are 3 things that strike me that Viser and Costa don't talk about (and that others who are promoting women's rage are not talking talking about):

1. Law and order may be an old conservative theme — and I certainly remember how Nixon used it back in the days of angry anti-Vietnam War protests — but rape and sexual assault are violent crimes, and the #MeToo movement demands a more vigorous crack down on crime. Do you want more severe anti-crime enforcement or not? If you do, you're a law-and-order person. Own it!

2. Kavanaugh expressed anger at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, and he was condemned — by Democrats — for lacking the right "temperament." His opponents acted so shocked and disturbed by the display of emotion. Is showing righteous anger a good tactic or not? If it's bad only when the other side does it, you're engaged in the kind of hypocrisy that I collect under the tag "civility bull ****."

3. It's sexist to minimize the threat of violence coming from women. Some people use the term "cat fight" to suggest it's cute or sexy or laughable when women are violent, and women may sometimes take advantage of that low opinion of our capacity to do real damage. Female privilege. I'm seeing that in the current protests, with women expressing open, screaming rage. If these women think they don't deserve a law-and-order reaction, they are trusting that the rest of us hold the sexist opinion that they are ineffectual. Let them explain why that's pro-woman.

DuckDuckGo is the way to go for sure.

I've used Bing a few times recently and have been pleased.  I'm going through a rather arduous process that has me looking up all sorts of information, Google has been terrible.

i use DuckDuckGo because they say they don't track you or your search history.

 

I have a novel idea. I wish there was a place on the internet that just showed you what it found matching your search terms irregardless of my past searches and websites visited and paid content.

Deranged media gets Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s 3rd grade teacher to bad mouth him

So many lines have been crossed by Democrats and their supportive media, I’m not sure there are any lines left.

 

Stephen Miller, advisor to Trump, is hated by Democrats and other leftists because of his role helping elect Trump and Miller’s strong positions on immigration.

 

The New York Times investigated Miller’s high school and college years:

 

In June 2018, Politico even ran a piece from one of Miller’s 3rd grade classmates, I Sat on the Other Side of Stephen Miller’s First Wall:

 

Now The Hollywood Reporter has jumped on the bandwagon, running a column by Miller’s 3rd grade teacher Nikki Fiske badmouthing Miller’s 3rd grade conduct, focusing on glue again, Stephen Miller’s Third-Grade Teacher: He Was a “Loner” and Ate Glue:

Again, the reason you see Enquirer-like stories such as this is because the left has no leader and no message beyond trying to scare people.

 

It's really that simple.

 

it's unfortunate to a degree because the country does better when iron sharpens iron, but whatever bench the Dems have was self-obliterated during the Kavanaugh hearings.

They have no bench, no statesman leadership, and are being led by a mob fresh out of college with $150k in student debt with useless degrees in Lesbian Latina Transgender Dance Theory.

 

It's all they have left, and are completely self-immolating.

The man is talking about doing math while playing basketball. We're gonna have 8 year old's taking stat breaks after every point, rebound, assist, or blocked shot?

 

He's also imploring Apple to build an IPlane so the POTUS has the "flyest" plane. 

 

Forget about politics for one second and recognize that this is a troubled individual.

That'll make some heads explode. Trump's black approval was at 35%, and every time Kanye shows up and interacts with President Trump that approval goes up... if it comes close to 50%, and transfers to some R candidates, the Ds are in deep doo-doo. (Yeah, yeah, lotta ifs... but you never know!)

:lol: 

The memes are out of control. 

 

Melt.Down.

 

Watching Trump troll the left is something I never anticipated.

 

I spent so much time worrying about what he would do to the 'conservative' political brand, that I never stopped to consider that he could orchestrate the longest-running troll in the history of trolls.

 

People who fully support a president who raped women and literally got his dick sucked in the same oval office before shooting his wad all over the intern are suddenly concerned that Trump is disrespecting the office and the negro is token, stupid, and mentally unstable.

 

I just may have to vote for this dude in 2020.

More troubled than this?

Also...not a mob.

 

 

Not quite sure why you need to equivocate. If the right wants to claim Kanye, go for it.

 

The persuadable blacks are now gone after today's public humiliation. That was not a good look.

Not quite sure why you find it necessary to suggest Kanye West is troubled when you never had anything to say about the bathtub woman.

 

And if you really think today was a public humiliation, you need to turn off your TV.  Because the next time Kanye West has a concert, and hundreds of thousands of fans show up, you're going to realize that the only people who saw humiliation today are people who are crapping purple twinkies that they're about to lose their grip on the black vote.

 

You know how you can recognize them? They're the one's saying Kanye is an unstable token negro.

Also notice his language, the right can claim him? persuadable blacks? I hope that is not how he looks at things

Case in point:

 

 

Meanwhile, now that the press is done discussing children being separated at the border, and done calling Kavanaugh a gang rapist, tomorrow they'll be done calling Kanye West a stupid, unstable, token negro...

 

...anyone have ideas on what they'll all melt down about tomorrow?

Bet ya' you're wrong. Trump's over 35% with that demo, and climbing. If the Dems get anything less than 90% of that vote, they'd never win another election. 

 

... Which is where this is going.

I don't get the feeling that you're in touch with the black community; not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Kanye actually had a modicum of clout left. There WERE impressionable people willing to consider what he had to say. Today changed that. The optics were atrocious. If he could have just refrained from wearing that silly hat or acting so subservient, it wouldn't have been such a disaster.

 

The man needs help. I'll leave it at that.

That's all I keep hearing from everyone on the left.

 

The negro is unstable. The negro is unstable. The negro is unstable. Stupid, uneducated, token and unstable.

 

Impressionable people know racism when they hear it...especially when it comes from black people.
