It's one thing for YouTubers to "Trigger the Libs, Own the Libs," something else entirely when a political party does it - and it doesn't necessarily work out in their favor. Need I remind you of Sargon's unhappy journey with UKIP?
Also, this "signal boost" by the MSM won't get normies to talk about having a state electoral colleges, because they'll instead be talking about how the Texas GOP wants to secede and force prayer into public schools.

Considering what the Californians are doing to that state and what the Alphabet Mafia is doing to the schools this may actually benefit the Texas Republicans

How will that be any different from usual? Everyone who'll be aghast won't even be newly aghast. They can't be more aghast than always.

Joe Incompetent
Adam Smith was trying to be consoling when he said “there’s a deal of ruin in a nation.” Yes, there is. But Joe Biden is testing the limits of that home truth.By Roger Kimball June 18, 2022
When it comes to the Biden Administration, my advice is: forget the ideology, concentrate on the incompetence.
Yes, the Biden Administration has gone all-in on the leisured Left agenda, throwing its hat in with the race-baiters, icky sexual exotics, climate fanatics, and other wardens of wokeness.
All that is destructive, not to mention deeply unattractive.
But even worse than the preening, self-indulgent theatrics of these unhappy would-be censors and commandants is the mind-boggling ineptitude of this administration.
Thanks to soon-to-be-former Representative Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.), we’ve been hearing a lot about January 6, 2021, lately. But not only was that the day that some of Donald Trump’s supporters traipsed around the Capitol building. It was also, as it turns out, a day that provided a nice contrast between the Trump and the Biden Administrations. I am not thinking about the differences in comportment between the two but energy costs under Donald Trump compared with those costs under Joe Biden. Since Biden seems bent on fulfilling his promise to destroy the coal industry and stop all drilling, it is not surprising that the cost of energy has skyrocketed over the last year. One wag sent around a “Never Forget January 6th” notice listing the prices of fuel on that day in 2021:
- Regular gas was $1.99
- Premium was $2.14
- Diesel was $2.21
Of course, higher energy costs mean higher everything costs. Bought an airline ticket lately? That’ll cost you 30-40 percent more than it did when Trump left office. Used cars have undergone a similar adjustment upward. Milk, bread, coffee, and eggs are 15-20 percent more now than they were a year ago. Joe Biden says that this isn’t his fault because inflation is raging everywhere in the Western world and, besides, it is worse “everywhere else.”
But it isn’t worse everywhere else. The latest official inflation rate in the United States is 8.6 percent. (Were inflation calculated the way it was in 1980, it would be about 15 percent.) As Matt Margolis points out at PJ Media, inflation in Germany is currently running at about 7.9 percent, in France at 5.2 percent, in Japan at 2.5 percent, in India at 7.04 percent, in Canada and Italy at 6.8 percent, and in Saudi Arabia at 2.2 percent.
Margolis links to a painful exchange between Peter Doocy of Fox News and Biden’s remarkable new press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Why, Doocy wanted to know, was the president saying inflation was worse everywhere else when it wasn’t? Jean-Pierre’s nonanswer was revealing, not just for its mendacity but for its stupidity and its incompetence.
A lot of the Biden Administration is summed up in Jean-Pierre. If you know anything at all about her, you know that she is the first black lesbian to serve as White House press secretary. That is presented as an accomplishment, but it is nothing of the kind. It’s the same with Ketanji Brown Jackson, the embryo Supreme Court Justice-in-waiting who is tapping her foot until Stephen Breyer retires. What are Jackson’s achievements? Why, she will be the first black female on the Court. But again, that’s not an accomplishment. That is just identity politics in action.
It turns out that all of Biden’s accomplishments are of this nature: that is, they are not accomplishments at all. They are just politically correct gestures masquerading as policy. Biden’s “historic” sanctions against Russia were supposed to deliver a crippling blow—which they seem to be doing, but against the United States, not Russia. The ruble is at a four-year high, Russia’s gold reserves are among the most robust in the world, and its revenue from oil jumped to $20 billion in May, roughly what it was before Putin invaded Ukraine in February.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who talked tough for about 15 minutes when Russia first invaded Ukraine, has been busy back-peddling and accommodating, rather than confronting, Vladimir Putin. “Germany’s New Resolve on Russia is Already Flagging,” shouts a headline from the Hudson Institute. “In effect,” that essay reads, “Scholz has attempted to substitute spending for leadership.” Sound familiar?
Maybe they will bring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy some new duds. The green T-shirts have worn out their welcome.
Scholz and his entourage may not have any Biden officials in tow, but he will have the Biden Administration along in spirit. The name of Biden’s policy towards Russia is “hurt America first.” His sanctions do bite, but they are mostly biting the American consumer. Meanwhile, Russia has halted natural gas supplies to much of the EU, cutting Dutch, Danish, and German contracts. Back in February, as he was announcing his first round of sanctions against Russia, Biden said, “I want to limit the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump. This is critical to me,” he added. So critical that the price of gas has more than doubled in the few months since he made that remark.
The simple truth is that the Biden Administration is a shambles. Adam Smith was trying to be consoling when he told a British soldier during the American Revolution that “there’s a deal of ruin in a nation.” There is indeed. But Joe Biden is testing the limits of that home truth.

"And I hope he has recovered because he fell from his bicycle. No no, I'm serious, I hope he's ok. Fell off a bicycle *slght head shake*"
That's how you make it linger, when even Trump won't make fun of you and acts like a disappointed dad.

At least Trump knows his limitations due to his age.

Old people falling is serious business. There's old people who fall, break their hip, and die a week later.

There's spinning the truth, and then there's lying. Is she referring to a specific time in American history, or is she saying we're in a better place overall?
Regardless, this bitch is terrible at her job.
It would be entertaining to see Kamala try to run this country. Just think of the horror.

I'm not sure anyone wants the whore to be in charge for the next two years.

Well, she also has claimed to never have murdered anybody, so grain of salt.

Come on, she’ll be just as “In charge” as Biden but we’ll get more of those speeches where she speaks to us like we’re children and repeats the same sentence in different tones for two minutes.
It’ll basically make it harder for any other woman to be President and, if we’re lucky, do even MORE damage to the Democrat brand.

You say that, but the office of the President of the USA holds a lot of power. The last thing TPTB needs is Kamala suddenly thinking she's in charge and starts writing EOs to assert her power. Granted, the backpedalling and infighting is going to be hilarious to watch, but it won't be a pretty time for America either way.

I wouldn't mind her being in charge. It would be cool to know that I lived during the first and last female president.

My favorite Kamala media appearance was when she was talking down to those black pod casters like they've never heard of Russia before.
"Russia is a big country, and Ukraine is a smaller country. Russia invaded Ukraine, and that's bad. Do you need me to cut your hotdog into smaller pieces for you? Do you want to drink your apple juice in a sippy cup, or a big boy cup? "
