Good piece from Rick Wilson on Haley and the donor class:

No, the media needs a single challenger to Trump, the one person they can elevate, illuminate, and, in the end, defenestrate when Trump’s team dumps their oppo load on her in early January.

Reporters have to cover American politics, and there’s some excellent reporting out of this year’s campaign, but let’s be very clear: the story of the Indian-American woman challenger in the GOP primary to Donald Trump is a trainwreck on the top of Dumpster Fire Mountain for the press. It’s going to be loud, ugly, and eminently watchable...

Watching the GOP donor class flail and panic over Trump’s return has been all too predictable. They’re prepping for their inevitable, painful return to Trump, but not before one more quixotic money bonfire. After the DeSantis disaster, there’s a growing sense Nikki is the last possible date to the prom, and she’s suddenly flush with cash, promises, and new best friends from Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Just like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz had their sugar daddies in 2016, Nikki will likely end the quarter with a mindblowing haul of SuperPAC money to juice her chances in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Alberta's provincial government just told Canada's federal government, to shove it



Expect more of this in the Great White North

Shouldn't have poked the bear one too many times.

I hope a bear takes a poke at your smelly nutsack.

They had it coming. I just don't want to be the ones paying for it.

Thousands of kids dead had it coming? Dang. You’re either some kind of badass or you watch a lot of corporate news and trust what your government tells you.

Mess with the bull......

When we dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, we vaporized over 20,000 children. They didn't have it coming either. But this is what happens when your parents and grandparents become murderers.

If I listened to the government, I would use unlimited resources to defend every sovereign nation to fund the military establishment. I’m pro-Israel and pro-Ukraine, but not to the extent I give them a blank check.

Btw, not all children are innocent. You think that at 18 the terrorist gene just turned on?

It's amazing how downright compliant the right are (including mainstream blue dog Dems obviously) when it comes to stuff like this. Gov't and media says we not only can but must commit horrific crimes against humanity on a large scale, and guess what happens. The weakminded get down and kowtow to the ones in charge. 1984 shit really.

We ain't doing shit. We're just supplying the ammo. And the stock market is surging.

Bout to fuck you up when my gummy kicks in, brah.

Rookie fell asleep.

"and guess what happens. The weakminded get down and kowtow to the ones in charge. 1984 shit really."

You can use any date in history and that statement still rings true...

Tree, if you want Utopia, I can assure you, the only time you might ever see that is in your afterlife, if you have been very good. But Utopia is not happening on Earth, that is for sure. Be it now, 1000 years ago, or 1000 years from now, man is still going to be shitty to his brother. Robert Mitchum said it best as he prayed to God while the USS Enterprise was steaming out of Hawaii towards Japan to earn its 20 battlestars

The best WWII Christian Prayer that has ever been recited wrote:Oh Lord, In a world so rich and lovely why can your children find nothing better to do than to did iron from the ground and work it into vast engines in which to blow each other up? Is it because Abel's next door neighbor was Cain? Is it because my enemies make deadly engines that I must do it better or die? Maybe the vicious circle will end this time? Maybe not? Maybe it will take Christ's second coming to end? Maybe it will never end? Father it is 1941 and I know this, until the life is beaten out of the monster Hitler, the world can not move an inch toward a more sane existence. There is nothing to do now but win the war.

Today its Israel and Ukraine and wherever the Hell, else. Tomorrow, anywhere else. As Plato said, only the dead have seen the end of war. The best God's children can do is try to make a sane existence. And we don't have that right now.
