I’d love to have been a fly on the wall when they decided to be neo nazis.

“Oy vey, Hitler was totally right about us.”

Macron won re-election, and look who's bragging.

2022 means nothing. They'll just steal 2024, even if it kills them.

 

[mandatorylurk]

So he's admitting Joepedo's at horrible ratings now?

LePen has tried 4 times and she needs to find a replacement or the movement is dead. Trump won his first try, has bona fide Ws, won his second except for 3AM magic, and will likely win his 3rd more comfortably than his last two.

2022 means a lot at the local and state level. If enough good people replace the people who allowed 2020 it's going to far harder for them to pull of it again in 2024.

The people who are flipping the switches are true believers who think that they are saving the world, and many of them would die for their convictions. Will they allow themselves to be replaced?

To provide a bit less conspiratorial reasoning here. While Macron is hated... so is LePen. She turns off a massive chunk of the French populace. So it basically became a battle of "Which hated figure could get the higher number of people to the polls".

Voting is not compulsory in France, so what likely happened was a ton of people chose not to vote. Which is more or less the result I expected once i heard it was "Macron v. LePen" again....

 

[XYZpdq]

iirc Le Pen still didn't get more than Macron in the first round so that shouldn't be a shocking outcome

Yup. No cheating necessary. And it isn't because "The French are cucked" either. LePen has an absolutely shit ton of baggage and is also -probably- controlled opposition. Pick your reason to not vote for her, there are plenty of them.

Jill Biden was against picking Kamala Harris as husband’s running mate, new book reveals​

First Lady Jill Biden was against choosing Kamala Harris as her husband Joe Biden’s running mate after she attacked him during a primary debate, according to an upcoming new book.

The first lady’s vexations were revealed in a bombshell new book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns titled “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” due to be released in May.

“There are millions of people in the United States. Why do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe,” Jill Biden said in a conversation after learning that Harris was the leading candidate for the job, according to an excerpt of the book provided to Fox News.

Many from Biden’s inner circle, however, believed that Harris would give the president the best chance of winning the election, according to the book. Ron Klain, the current White House chief of staff who was tasked with vetting VP candidates, believed that Harris was the best-qualified candidate for the position.

“Yes, Harris had attacked Biden more harshly than any other major candidate in the Democratic primaries. Yes, the Biden family had seen it as a smear and a betrayal. In Klain’s assessment, that would work to Biden’s advantage,” the book states. “Choosing Harris will show people that you are magnanimous and forgiving, Klain told Biden. It will show the country just what a unifying leader you can be.”

Joe Biden and Harris memorably butted heads at the first Democratic debate in June 2019, when Harris rebuked the president for opposing federally mandated school busing, recalling her own experience with busing and desegregation while growing up in Oakland.

Martin and Burns’ new book also details Joe Biden’s hesitance to choose Harris, citing her past romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former San Francisco mayor who had appointed Harris to a pair of minor political positions.”

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are noted in the book as other potential running makes his campaign considered, as well as other lawmakers and activists, such as Stacey Abrams.


Abrams, the book says, “did not pass the test” for VP candidate after the campaign lost confidence in her ability to rally voters after losing the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election. Biden’s team also had concerns about her lack of experience as an elected official.

Harris was believed to be Biden’s safest best for winning the White House, despite her attacks on Biden.

“You know, white women are incredibly racist, as are white men,” a close adviser to Biden said in the book. “None of it was safe. It was a risky thing to do. But it was the safest of choices that we had.”

According to a book published last year —“Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats’ Campaigns to Defeat Trump,” by Edward-Isaac Dovere — Jill Biden told supporters on a conference call that Harris should “go f–k” herself for attacking her husband during the Democratic primaries.

The first lady notably did not deny that she made the remark, telling a reporter last year “That was two years ago. We’ve moved on from that.”

Plenty people thought that Trump was controlled opposition...

 

[Gehenna]

Plenty people thought that Trump was controlled opposition...

But there was much less evidence of it. Controlled Opposition needs to be reliable, not sudden. Trump ran a few times but quickly bowed out before any damage was ever actually done. He lacked ay sort of concentrated influence from which to be controlled opposition.

In short, controlled opposition needs to have a reliable, consistent footprint to attract the voting base hostile to your interests. They need to be able to be taken seriously as a candidate to basically act as a lightning rod. Trump was many things, but consistent wasn't one of them in relation to his political presence.

Whatever the case, france gets what they deserve. Hope they enjoy forever masking and their president hating self-defense.

It's wishful thinking on my part, but just sayin': they do like their guillotines over there, in case things get intolerable enough for their quality of life.

Just makes it all the sweeter once they do finally lose. I mean, the reactions to Trump winning 2016 wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun if they didn't think they had it in the bag.

Indeed. "Woman screaming at the sky" shall likely never get old thanks the sheer childish delusion and impotence on display. "THEY TOLD ME IT WAS HER TURN!"

I really liked seeing Maddow cry. There was something about the pathetic admission in that of journalists being the worst scum fucks....

There were so many good reactions. It's hard to narrow it down though. I'd be hard pressed to find a better one than the first girl in this vid:

Yeah, I got nothing.

The sheer audacity of it.

including Hillary, who thought amplifying him would guarantee her victory.


Controlled opposition isn’t just willfully compliant “dissenters” who will listen to commands, and probably the majority of controlled opposition are useful idiots that serve to demoralize the opposition while bolstering their own support. See every rino nevertrumper

 

[HTTP Error 404]

One thought that comes to mind is that the Uniparty planned on having eight years of Hillary to demoralize people. With four years of having a President that liked America parents still had some semblance of pride in themselves. Would they have had that pride with eight years of Hillary following the longterm plan of a weakened America involved in a vicious war with Russia?

Trump was never supposed to happen, and his being there fucked up the planned decline of America by throwing up a roadblock. The way they're acting it's like they have to get back on schedule for something. What for, though?

I dunno, but I get the same damned feeling. Everything Joepedo is doing would have been... still bad, but we'd be USED to it if we had just dealt with 4-8 years of Clinton2: revenge of the pantsuit. But with that large chunk of the plan not only missing but actively involving a populist right winger UNDOING huge chunks of their plan... All while they burned every bridge and asset to unseat him in some terrified dash to get us back "on track"...

But there was much less evidence of it. Controlled Opposition needs to be reliable, not sudden. Trump ran a few times but quickly bowed out before any damage was ever actually done. He lacked ay sort of concentrated influence from which to be controlled opposition.

In short, controlled opposition needs to have a reliable, consistent footprint to attract the voting base hostile to your interests.

Well, remember that Clinton literally was pushing him behind the scenes as a pied piper candidate. So thinking he was meant to "lose with dignity" (well, actually "lose while making a fool of the party") like a controlled opposition candidate isn't completely from left field.
