What I don’t get is why is Sean Parnell supporting McCormick, it feels like he got a little taste of the Kavanaugh treatment and then fully prostrated, going beyond just kneeling to the RINOs.

It’s one thing to say nothing after dropping out, it’s another to now attack Oz. My brother in Christ were it not for you dropping out this would not be happening.

Probably payed off. Even Stephen Miller endorsed McCormick, and swapped to Oz after Trump endorsed Oz.

Was it too hard to do a quick Wikipedia check about McCormick? I still blame Poso for mono-focused Oz Derangement.

Posobsieieiesbeuc has a lot of good points about why Oz sucks ass.
But I can respect the pragmatic options available.

That is also my theory.

To explain: The cabal got in power but all hate eachother. The only thing keeping them together was Orange Man bad and a stable government. Aghanistan kicked off their major internal struggles but mostly kept them quit. The cabal's attempted legislation all failing kicked it into the open and ensured that nobody is working with anyone else.

The Cabal is still de jure in power, but De Facto out of power and no one's in charge.

I often say (irl) I want the government, church, and corpos too busy fighting each other to worry about us, them being in cahoots is what's fucked us so hard in the last fifty years, but I didn't think of the government fighting itself.

Joe Biden used alias of KGB spy from Tom Clancy novels, emails from Hunter’s laptop show​

Biden wrote to his son Hunter and others close to him using the pseudonym “Peter Henderson” – a fictional Soviet Union-era spy in several Tom Clancy novels who infiltrated the US government, emails show.
The messages contained on Hunter’s abandoned laptop appear to indicate the then-VP started using the fictitious mole’s moniker in October 2016 while forwarding a YouTube video to his son Hunter, brother Jim, daughter-in-law Hallie, as well as his sister and longtime political strategist Valerie Biden Owens.

Biden sent the message using an email address with a username of “67stingray” — a clear reference to his beloved 1967 Corvette Stingray.

The name attached to Biden’s “67stingray” account at the time was “Peter Henderson” – which matches the name of the KGB spy in Clancy’s popular Jack Ryan series, according to online fan pages.

Henderson, whose codename was Cassius in Clancy’s realm, worked as a “minor Senate aide” in 1970 before becoming a Russian spy who was later caught by the CIA and turned into a double agent.

He was then freed due to “deep knowledge of secret information on the Soviet Union,” according to an authoritative Jack Ryan fan site. The character appeared in four Clancy novels, including “The Hunt for Red October.”

Weeks later, Biden appeared to still be using the mysterious alias in November 2016 while forwarding a Forbes story about how demographic trends “spell trouble” for China and Russia, but indicate “prosperity” ahead in the US.

The message was sent from Biden’s “67stingray” account, the email shows.
The account then sent a short yet emotional message to Hunter Biden on Jan. 3, 2017, just weeks before Biden left the White House after eight years as vice president in Barack Obama’s administration.
“Keep in touch,” the message sent from an iPhone read. “Love Dad.”

The White House didn’t respond to an inquiry by The Post Friday about the Peter Henderson alias. The connection was first noted by The National Pulse in October 2020.

It’s unclear if the account is still being used by Biden in any capacity, but the last message contained on Hunter’s laptop tied to the name is a February 2018 “invitation for Vice President Biden” forwarded by his sister Valerie to speak to a class at the University of Pennsylvania.

The commander in chief, meanwhile, recently recalled the gas-guzzler during an Earth Day appearance in Seattle, where he vowed to make every US military vehicle climate-friendly despite acknowledging his Stingray was green only in color.
“I’m an automobile buff,” Biden told the crowd before botching his Corvette’s model year. “I have a ’68 Corvette that does nothing but pollute the air. But I don’t drive it much.”

It’s unclear if the account, revealed in Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, is still being used by his father.
In October 2020, The Post exclusively revealed the existence of Hunter Biden’s emails in a series reports based on the contents of a damaged MacBook Pro laptop that was abandoned at a repair shop in the Biden family’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

After downplaying the emails as unverified, both the New York Times and the Washington Post authenticated many of them — including some apparently being used in a federal probe of suspected tax fraud, money laundering and foreign lobbying violations by Hunter Biden.

Trump's endorsement system sucks balls. He is conscious about frontrunners in polls and usually endorses the front runner and says "THE PERSON I ENDORSED WON. I AM THE PARTY!" Again, his ego is the biggest detriment to his movement. It sucks because he is still the best choice by far to continue it, since DeSantis is needed in Florida to continue redefining Republicanism there. Youngkin's kind of a wild card, but we should see how he does with more time. Everyone else is worse than dogshit and would revert to Bushism, besides these 3.

For Oz vs McCormick for PA Senate, my endorsement is to nuke Pennsylvania.

For all Trumps postives and negatives, he has been incredibly bad at picking the people around him, but decent with his endorsements, IMO.

I think that's why we see these extreme, undirected scattershot policies. There is no actual consistent agenda, and the entire thing has just become autistic and reactionary.

The rot is so bad in DC, you wonder how many firings it would take to get someone half decent.

Oz is the lesser of two evils here and hence why he got Trump's endorsement. The candidate Trump wanted bowed out and so Trump did the smart thing and supported the one that is.... acceptable. Oz is the kind who will likely make a frequent show of having morals but end up voting party line the vast majority of the time. Unlikely to be a romney who actively seeks his own interests and will put his vote there.

Basically, in the sliding scale of Neo-Con to Populist, Oz is positioned a space apart from your Romneys. Which sounds... pretty bad. Until you realize the guy he is replacing is actually a step to the -other- side of Romney. So while not the ideal candidate, Oz is progress towards the desire end goal if he wins.


Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I'm curious what you think about Trump's endorsements so far, would you say that at least most of them make solid tactical sense politically even if they aren't ideal in many respects?

100% he will and he'll even say things like "this guy stabbed me in the back" with the fucking guy STANDING RIGHT THERE and you think maybe his next words will be the famous "you're fired" but instead he just praises him for 10 minutes straight.

Don't like 65% or some absurdly high number of Zoomers identify as gay or troon? I really doubt they're rushing out to vote Republican.

It's more like 30% who identify as some flavor of gay (mostly the "fake gay" flavor).

But, get this, the other 70% of Zoomers have to deal with these out of control faggots every single day. Imagine thousands of daily interactions with the most obnoxious, awful people in the world, and you can't say shit to them or they will do their utmost to ruin your entire life, forever. That's how you get Zoomies on board with the GOP.

I'm a Trump supporter but he is right, the only bad endorsement I give Trump some slack for is Oz, only for the fact the guy Trump wanted and the Republicans were pushing dropped out and it is a RINO seat being filled by a RINO that has some personal relationship with Trump, but yeah Trump's endorsements and who he surrounds himself with typically sucks donkey balls.

When he got in in 2016, he didn't do a mass firing like every other President in recent memory. Supposedly was told by the fucking Turtle not to, to "let the country heal."

If he's smart, day one he fires literally everyone he can and starts over. Beyond just what Obama and Biden and everyone did. Literally everyone he can fire, he fires. Dig as deep as he can, just absolutely gut the entire system and start over fresh. If there aren't articles and talking heads screeching about how he's lost his mind and is intentionally killing America and why does he hate Jews so much and won't SOMEONE think of the poor unelected pencil pushers?! by that afternoon, he hasn't fired enough people yet.

Day 2 or 3 will be when some Hawaiian Judge issues an injunction saying he can't fire people because he doesn't REALLY count as a president, of course. "You can't fire them that's you discriminating over them being a Democrat, and we've decided that's illegal now." That sort of thing.
