Holy moly! We’re seeing new things! I mean, we’re seeing all the old things but with a new twist.
Trump is retweeting Judicial Watch discuss the coup, making me wonder if he’s actually considering my Fire the Dept of “Justice” and replace them with Judicial Watch” plan. That would be awesome.
Barr, the AG, told Congress about Obama and co. spying on Trump and the butthurt is awesome.
Evidence Free is going to make a comeback! Can Inadvertent and Incidental be far behind?
Let’s go back in timetwo years to March, 2017
Charles Krauthammer, who usually provides center-Right analysis, stated categorically that:“It’s a farce, you know, the idea that everyone in this town – the media – the agencies – the congress – are running around chasing their tails on a story that everyone knows it’s not true, but having to pretend that it might be because he’s the President when we know how it’s going to end.”This is absurd.
Yes, yes it was. I do have to wonder if it’s going to get more…how much more absurd it’s going to get. I’m not sure exactly how much more absurd we can survive.
Ace has a bunch of updates on his post that show testimony from years ago that maybe, possibly, could point out how it was an attempt at a coup. You should click over there, it’s in a much more compact form than the archives of various righty blogs from the last few years. The ‘new’ part is that our fine betters are having to notice it and/or twist into absurd contortions pretending they weren’t all in on that stupidity. They are facing a crisis. They might even have to admit to themselves that they were nitwits.
Now I wonder how happy normal Americans, even people who don’t like Trump, are going to react if there are no repercussions for felonious treason as our betters explain it away.
Is it time? Will there actually be repercussions? (warning: That’s a ‘busy’ page. Lots of stuff going on.)
The Justice Department’s watchdog is reportedly looking into an FBI informant who was a source for the bureau’s Russia investigation during the 2016 election cycle.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigators are asking questions about Stefan Halper, an American professor at Cambridge University, who met with members of President Trump’s campaign, according to the New York Times…
But wait! There’s still more!
Attorney General William Barr has assembled a “team” to investigate the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, an administration official briefed on the situation told Fox News on Tuesday.
I have to admit, I’m even thinking of breaking out my GOP Voter Device for reals.

GOP Voter Device
I might even ‘arf’. I ain’t slapping my fins until there’s a perpwalk though.
Of course, it’s not really a Republican doing it, it’s Trump.
In spite of everything the GOP can do he’s still keeping on keeping on. They’re fighting him on his whole agenda, they just will not send him any legislation or even allow him to do what he’s trying to do. They don’t even ‘view with concern’ all the times the “Justice” Dept absolutely ignored everything judges involved in their cases had to say.
Especially considering this, someone from the RNC talking about Mueller.
MARTIN: What’s your reaction? I’m sure you have many, but what’s your top line reaction to today’s report?
DHILLON: Well, the president was completely vindicated and exonerated after two years of false allegations and really, what I consider to be a coup attempt against his presidency. But we are not cheering, most of us here on the Republican side, because it is atrocious and outrageous that the Department of Justice and the FBI and these other institutions were hijacked for a partisan end, and that for two years, our president was not allowed to fully carry out his agenda because of this cloud hanging over his presidency.
So far so good, then this
And I will also say on the other side, the Democrats in Congress don’t appear to be willing to let this go either. So I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this entire situation by a long stretch.
That’s code for, “We’ll work with our very good friends across the aisle to bring them to justice!”
It works better if you read that in John McCain’s voice and think of what legislation they’ll pass to make sure we can’t do what they did.
Here Trump’s going around Congress by doing a little creative funding,
White House officials will shift about $3.6 billion in military construction funds to build President Donald Trump’s controversial southern border wall
He’s reaching back to his construction days. Hmmmm, do you think he’ll pull out another of his faves, bankruptcy? How funny would it be if we went bankrupt. Our whole gov’t letting their phones go to voicemail. That could be a good alternative to an asteroid. Something to think about anyway.
Troll Level: Trumpian!
That’s getting around Congress by making them look like fools. Hypocritical fools.
Sure, he’s not very presidential in word but he surely is in deed and he’s fighting back. I’ll take it.

There is no left left in Israel
The problem is that leftism has become utterly absurd and utterly untethered to reality.
America can survive that for a while, we’re strong and isolated from powerful enemies, Israel literally cannot survive pretending the community based reality is actual reality. They are constantly facing a literal existential threat so pretending idiocies can only ensure they’re all dead.
SYRIA’S CIVIL WAR CONTINUES
Syria is a bucket of scorpions all killing each other as Allah intended.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Army continues to make indiscriminate attacks:
Huh, I didn’t realize there was a cease-fire.
You want to hear something funny? I wrote that before I read this
The Observatory said 10 people were killed in Tuesday’s attack in a “demilitarized” zone set up under the Turkish-Russian agreement.
Your shoelaces are untied!
Related, watching the Dems defend this
“CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something,
has been illuminating for many people who’d managed to avoid learning things about Dems.
Speaking of keeping people from learning bad things about Democrats, Jim Acosta has won an award for keeping Americans from learning bad things about Democrats while reporting made up bad things about the bad Orange Man!
The New York Press Club announced the recipient of their “Truth to Power” award: CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta.
The guy who was kicked out of the press room for acting like a petulant, spoiled, tantrumy 5 year old
Truth To Power!!!!! Which in the current issue of Newspeak has this non-artist’s rendition:
It’s stuff like that that lets you know exactly how imaginative the Babylon Bee is, it’s really hard to think up stuff more absurd than Dems already do. Remember this?
They’ve managed to get more absurd. That takes skill….real willful-ignorance!
A whine. I’m sick of the phone companies and computer companies and tech companies thinking they own my phone and my computer. I’m sick of my stuff constantly “updating”, which updates are usually just things they think I need, like changing the solitaire game or something equally important. Right now every time I play solitaire I get a dialogue box that asks if I want to go online and do fun stuff!!!. It doesn’t give me the option of “No”, I can do it now or later. Since I never play solitaire while I’m online, I think I piss it off.
My phone is full of Google apps. I keep turning them off and they keep turning back on. I can turn off “Google Location Service” a brazilion times and it comes back on a brazilion and one.
As most of us saw at Ace’s, Google does manually change searches so it’s harder to find stuff they don’t want us to find.
I’m about done with Amazon too. I just don’t trust those assholes. And we see this
Amazon.com Inc. employs thousands of people around the world to help improve the Alexa digital assistant powering its line of Echo speakers. The team listens to voice recordings captured in Echo owners’ homes and offices. The recordings are transcribed, annotated
It’s for your own good! You belong them Amazon. Just because I bought the Kindle and buy the books doesn’t mean I own them. Just as with my phone and my computer.
My kindle is also always updating, I can’t stop them from doing it. They’re not fixing anything, they’re just putting in spyware and ads. When I buy a new book and connect to the tubes, it often takes 5 minutes or more before it starts downloading my books.
I’m going to start figuring out another way to get e-books. I will buy lots of actual books, but there are Kindle writers, but I’ll probably get some of them on paper. I am thinking of getting another cheap Kindle and never connecting with the one I now own again.
Let’s end on the Feel Good Story of the Decade!
This guy met up with some Antifa Fightin’ Fascists. They found out that, while they’re big on the fascism part, they ain’t so hot at fighting.
Yes. We bullied Antifa. We punched them in the face. We took their flags. And we ate their pizza.
First and foremost, I want to boast that I got to punch a commie. In the defense of one of my fellow Americans that was being attacked, I actually got to punch a commie. Granted, he was a weak, noodle-y looking thing, but I got a shot in before the cops stepped in the middle of it and prevented more. I also got a souvenir from one of them. I kept offering to give it back to them if one of them was brave enough to come and take it from me; sadly, the cowards didn’t take me up on it. As I advised readers not long ago, get yourself to a protest.
Heh. RTWT, it’s pretty darn fun.
That it happened in Austin just makes it sweeter.
