I mean, when your operation is too heavy-handed for a guy named Castro . . . .

YOU CAN BUY THESE FOLKS PRETTY CHEAP: D.C.’s Professional Left Flocks to Google Policy Conference. “Scores of center-left think tanks, consumer, civil rights, and human rights groups attend a summit at Google headquarters, which critics term ‘soft capture.'”

PHILIP KLEIN: Why Trump’s Des Moines Rally Makes Democrats Nervous.

Many of the characteristics of a Trump rally have remained the same since 2016 — the sea of red MAGA hats, shouting down of protesters with chants of “USA! USA! USA!,” and lots of laughter at Trump’s mockery of his political enemies. The crowd often knows which lines Trump is about to rattle off, but revels in them anyway, almost as if attending a concert and waiting for a musician to play his greatest hits.

But one thing struck me. Whether they backed him in 2016 or were more recent converts, one factor that his supporters kept bringing up was their feeling that he had delivered on his promises in a way other elected officials have not.

Keeping promises is one of his secret superpowers. The other is revealing his opponents to be lunatics or fools.

OKAY, THIS IS WRONG ON SEVERAL COUNTS. FOR ONE, THOUGH PORTUGUESE-SPEAKERS CAN UNDERSTAND SPANISH SPEAKERS, THE ABILITY NEVER REVERSES. SECOND, ENGLISH IS NOT A NIGHTMARE FOR FOREIGN LEARNERS, IT’S INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS. THIRD, KNOWING ENGLISH I COULD GET QUITE A BIT OF DUTCH, AND THE FOLK DIALECT FROM THE GERMAN REGION OF KOLN (COLOGNE.) BUT IT IS FUNNY:  English Is Not Normal.

I AGREE. IF WE ARE EACH ONLY ALLOWED TO WRITE AND READ PEOPLE EXACTLY LIKE OURSELVES, THE WORLD BECOMES A COLLECTION OF CELLS, WHERE WE CAN SEE BUT NOT HEAR OR TOUCH ANYONE ELSE:  Artistic Segregation Is a Terrible Idea.

IT IS AN OLD TRICK OF COMMUNISTS. IT IS WHY IT WAS SAID THAT IN THE USSR THE FUTURE WAS WELL KNOWN, IT WAS THE PAST THAT KEPT CHANGING: Gaslighting.

WELL, THERE IS A CERTAIN LOGIC. SINCE HE WASN’T ACCUSED OF ANY REAL CRIME, THERE’S NO REAL CRIME TO ACQUIT HIM OF. ALL IS CLEAR. INSANE. MIRROR-WORLD INSANE. BUT CLEAR. AGAIN, WHAT DOES ONE HAVE TO DO OR SAY THESE DAYS TO BE DECLARED LEGALLY INSANE? OR WOULD IT PUT EVERY DEMOCRAT IN JAIL?  Drunk and Desperate Explains Nancy’s Logic.

AND THE FACT THAT JUSTICE ROBERTS READ THIS, BUT REFUSED TO READ RAND PAUL’S QUESTION ABOUT ERIC THE ITALIAN CARAMEL TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JOHN ROBERTS.  IS THERE A PART OF THIS THAT ISN’T FULL OF CRAZY PEOPLE COLLABORATING WITH THE LEFT? ARE THEY BEING BLACKMAILED? CAN THEY BLINK SOS IN MORSE CODE OR SOMETHING?  Elizabeth Warren Questions Legitimacy Of Supreme Court.

WE ALL KNOW ABOUT ERIC CIARAMELLA. (WHO BTW IS THE TOP SUGGESTION IF YOU TYPE “ERIC” INTO DUCKDUCKGO.) DO YOU THINK IF WE ALL SCREAM “I SEEM YOU” REALLY LOUD THEY’LL STOP PRETENDING WE’RE STUPID?  Rand Paul Versus John Roberts And The Deep State.
