First day of the new Congress.
Sit back and enjoy all of the craziness getting ready to unleash.

Snowflake occasio-cortez is already ripping nancy pelosi to shreds, along with another first term, snowflake. I can't imagine the pig pelosi taking that with good grace.
Mittens Romney is doing his turtle mcconnel imitation this week as he begins his first term as a senator.
chuck you and company are setting records for hypocrisy as they babble about the wall and contradict their own speeches and votes.
It's stupid as usual in DC.
It looks like President Donald J. Trump is among the very few sane people there.

Mitt Romney will take the place of Jeff Flake today.
-
New rules from Pelosi say no more votes on the debt ceiling. If spending causes the debt ceiling to be busted, the debt ceiling will automatically be raised. How's that for transparency? I'm sure the MSM will be right on top of it. ::)

California dem congressman filed Articles
Of Impeachment on Trump today.
I hope they keep this up every day. The Dems will suffer the biggest defeat in history in 2020.

The impeachment thing was a resolution
The first actual bill, H.R. 1, the most important thing that the Democrats think needs to get done is...a campaign finance bill based on an idea that the Supreme Court has already ruled is unconstitutional.
Seriously?
Understand, I say go right ahead. Best thing they can do for the country is push a bunch of nonsensical garbage.

Rep Steve Cohen introduced a bill to do away with the electoral college as well. He also introduced a bill to prevent Presidents from pardoning themselves and their family members.
The crazy train is picking up speed.

Under more normal circumstances, I would say that the communists (they call themselves democrats these days) are trying to cover up the economic news, which is incredible. However, given the all out assault on America by the insane communists (they call themselves democrats) it is far more likely that they are incapable of reading a comic book, much less an economic report.

JOB GROWTH SURGES BY 312,000 IN DECEMBER
In addition to the big job gains, wages jumped 3.2 percent from a year ago and 0.4 percent over the previous month.

She's another Democrat LOON. Yet, the Mainstream Media, and Dems don't care what is important.
The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday the economy added an impressivve 312,000 jobs in December, which was a month of strong retail sales; and the nation's unemployment rate increased two-tenths of a point to 3.9 percent, which is still an 18-year low.
The number of employed Americans has now set a 14th record under Trump:
In another positive sign, the labor force participation rate increased two-tenths of a point to 63.1 percent, the highest it's been since Trump took office.[/qiote]
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/156945000-2018-ends-record-employment-participation-rate-hits-trump-era
We don't see this from CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, NYT, Washpo, etc.
-
" increased two-tenths of a point to 3.9 percent, which is still an 18-year low. "
Not to argue, but if just went UP .2% to 3.9%, wouldn't the 18 year low be at least 3.7%? :) ;D

This is my favorite so far. I particularly enjoy the irony that he's a Democratic representative from Tennessee, thus acknowledging that his own state's voters are irrelevant in a presidential election. Presidential elections would essentially boil down to New York, Ohio, Florida, Texas, California and the city of Chicago. If you don't live there, your vote won't really matter.

It was introduced as a Constitutional amendment:

I fully support the electoral college system, but ironically, as a California conservative, my vote doesn't matter because of it. We, like almost all states, are "winner-take-all", so my presidential vote evaporates into the ether while my mere presence here adds to the number of electoral votes that go to a candidate I would not vote for.
As has been pointed out many times here and elsewhere, dems want to eliminate the electoral college for the simple reason that if we did so, there would never be another non-democrat president.

Are undocumented residents (aliens) in the 50 states included in the apportionment population counts?
Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the 50 states are to be included in the census and thus in the apportionment counts.

Most people would be better off ignoring the ditzy little showoff. She's nothing more than a distraction.
I look for her to be in congress for one, maybe two terms. Then she will be lured by big money types to go into broadcasting. She loves the camera, and can make more money. She will quickly become bored with DC.

She is the gift that keeps on giving, so I hope she stays in Congress for a long time. She has criticized Pelosi, and some other Democrats. Then turned on Liberal/Progressive CBS saying they didn't have one Black journalist covering the 2020 election.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) criticized CBS News Saturday night for what she considered lack of diversity in its team of reporters covering the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
“This WH admin has made having a functional understanding of race in America one of the most important core competencies for a political journalist to have, yet [CBS News] hasn’t assigned a *single* black journalist to cover the 2020 election,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet.
“Unacceptable in 2019. Try again,” Ocasio-Cortez added.

You are unqualified to comment on anything unless their is a racial component to your being, meaning you are a Person of Color, or other "disenfranchised" group. That is why they use Identity Politics al the time, it is an attempt to mask that they don't have a decent policy position in their entire platform.

This hollywierd thing puzzles me.
Everything I read about the relative health of the movie and TV business tells me that the studios are losing their shirts.
Where do the millions and millions come from to keep funding stupid people who say stupid things to appease stupid celebrities?
There has to be a point at which all this money dries up.
I bet the IRS could find billions in fraudulent tax returns if they looked hard at the hollyweird freak show.

Look at it this way:
Hollyweird is celebrating Sandy getting elected. They want to be seen with her, and they want her to be a part of them.
But Sandy wants to tax them at 70%+. Think George Clooney, or Cher, or Oprah are willing to part with 70% of their earnings?
Sandy has said they (the rich) aren't paying their fair share.

And will get more and more outrageous to keep in the spotlight. At some point someone in the MSM will stand up and say that she's a nutcase and (metaphorically) has no clothes. We can only hope.

Rebuild every single building in the U.S.
“Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency.”
Will end all traditional forms of energy in the next ten years.
The Green New Deal is “a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.”
Plans to ban nuclear energy within 10 years if possible.
“It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible.”
Build trains across oceans and end all air travel!
“Build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary”.
Don’t invest in new technology of Carbon Capture and Storage, just plant trees instead!
“We believe the right way to capture carbon is to plant trees and restore our natural ecosystems. CCUS technology to date has not proven effective.”
Mandates all new jobs be unionized.
“Ensure that all GND jobs are union jobs that pay prevailing wages and hire local.”
May include a carbon tax.
“We’re not ruling a carbon tax out, but a carbon tax would be a tiny part of a Green New Deal.”

I’m sure your 19 month old would be smarter than AOC. She took a full month on this job to come up with a plan to turn the US into a socialist country. It’s easy to do when you can plan the nation’s future on the back of a napkin while sipping lates at Starbucks.

It used to be a male, Republican seat. My State Senator, and State House Rep were also Republicans and beaten by first timer, female, Democrat Community Organizer types. All supported by Bloomberg, Soros, Unions (public and private), anti gun groups, Planned Parenthood, etc. All had the SAME talking points on their literature, and ads.

That is always the Democrat (Progressive) way. Destroy demand through higher cost. That is what Obama wanted to do with gasoline, and fossil fuel based energy. Economy destroying higher costs for everything. I don't understand how they think. Obama was perfectly fine with $4/gallon, and even higher gasoline prices as it reduced demand. MADNESS.

They are way behind the science and even the most recent trends. Keto and meat only are what's now recommended for weight loss and avoiding diabetes and general good health.
But people's health aren't what they're interested in. They truly believe cows are farting us into global climate disaster and it's best for the planet if we don't eat meat and all get vitamin B12 deficiency.

I was at the coffee shop Monday and a varied bunch of law enforcement guys (Sheriff, police officers, plainclothes guys, Chief) were gathering for a meeting. Peeps in line ahead of me were paying for these guys’ drinks. I was just enjoying the testosterone.🙂
They were joking around and let go with a few remarks that snowflakes might not have liked. So I went up to their table after I got my coffee, and they sobered. I said I hoped they weren’t discussing how to reduce their “toxic masculinity” because we needed more masculinity these days, and that I really appreciated them and what they do.
They roared with laughter.
I’m so glad I’m a conservative.

Look at some of the great Louder with Crowder videos on YouTube. He tries to have the most civil discussions with liberals, typically on college campuses, and he often has difficulty doing it without the assembled mob trying to shout him down and shut him up.
-
We’ve had a few here crying about how there are not enough liberal posters here because somehow they are mistreated.
I visit a couple of liberal forums. You ain’t seen mistreatment until you go to one. Post something supporting a conservative view and the knives come out, followed by name calling (vulgarity beyond approach) and downright threats.
Conservatives tend to be open to discussion whereas liberals only want their opinion acknowledged and never challenged.

Liberal/Progressives don't come here often because they can not sustain their arguments, nor reconcile their belief in man made climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels yet burn leaded aviation gasoline for fun. It is a conundrum they can not accept.

Ha!
Her office pushed back against the notion that it was hypocritical for Ocasio-Cortez, who has made housing affordability one of her top policy concerns, to move into a luxury building. A spokesman pointed out that her office also uses a car with an "internal combustion engine that runs on fossil fuels," even though she thinks their use should be eliminated.

You can't make this sh*t up. Maybe the car that runs on fossil fuel could be converted to LNG? lol!

Many, not all, Liberal/Progressives are angry, jealous, envious people. They are also control freaks, and project their weaknesses, insecurities, and character flaws onto others.
Also many, not all, are tight-assed New Moral Orderists who can’t stand the thought of real morals, nor the idea that someone, somewhere, might be happy.
-
We’ve had a few here crying about how there are not enough liberal posters here because somehow they are mistreated.
I visit a couple of liberal forums. You ain’t seen mistreatment until you go to one. Post something supporting a conservative view and the knives come out, followed by name calling (vulgarity beyond approach) and downright threats.
Conservatives tend to be open to discussion whereas liberals only want their opinion acknowledged and never challenged.
That they do it too is no excuse to do the wrong thing.

Did I say it was? I was pointing out some perspective, in reference to the present conversation.

That's true, but conservative posters seem to hang in just fine when berated by liberal/progressives where they dominate the forum. Why do the lib/progs bail here?

American Thinker has a winning handful of articles today about the imploding Dems. Only in my wildest dreams would I ever have hoped to see a party fail so spectacularly with so little self awareness.
https://www.americanthinker.com
In other news, Cory Booker thinks the government should raise meat prices so people would eat less meat.
On a recent podcast with David French, he noted that the same enthusiasm you currently have about the Democrats imploding, the Democrats once had that Trump was the Republican nominee, and then he was elected. The point is that it can happen to Republicans just as it happened to Democrats. In general, I think he's got a point.
The Democrats really can't help themselves with the, "hold my beer" game, however.

Whataboutism to justify one's incorrect actions because another did it doesn't make it acceptable. In other words, two wrongs don't make a right.

I did, but I didn't feel like going down the same road as we usually do with that line of thinking. Liberals, or really those with any opposing viewpoints to the main Trump supporters on this board, are routinely shouted down. It's a circular argument at this point.

Of course. There is a back-and-forth pattern that has in the past kept our country fairly steady. I think the real concern many of us have is that with vote fraud, creating dependency, media deception, and importation of people from elsewhere, legally or otherwise, we are in danger of becoming a one-party system (Dem) with the true socialist/globalist kooks in control.
Trump is an absolute, unexpected anomaly who responds completely differently than Dems are used to, and he’s peeling back their mask. This is a show we’ve not seen in our lifetimes, and it’s fun to watch.
Regarding conservatives, you must consider that the media has attacked them as relentlessly as it has POTUS, yet here we all are. Republicans don’t seem to be making asses of themselves en masse like the current crop of Dems. We have yet to see a significant group of Dems breaking ranks. But I think it’s coming ... moderation is their only hope of survival.

Today's crop of democrats are not the middle of the road democrats of 20 years ago. The democrat party has been hijacked by the progressives (communist) and is an entirely different mindset. They have embraced radicalism to which most Americans have never witnessed before.
I don't see a turn around for the DNC, at least not in my lifetime.

Progressives KNOW their arguments collapse when examined under the weakest microscope, so they project this aura of superiority and demand that no one challenge them, no matter what the topic.
Then when they are challenged (even by something as insignificant as a boy wearing a Red Hat) they show their real character which is hateful, spiteful, lying-ass, weak kneed, whiny, and utterly stupid.

Never, ever did I say, nor did I imply what you are alleging.

Well here's my point. Liberal/Progressives live on their "feelings" and are much more emotional and get very easily offended, much more than conservatives and moderates. Is that clear enough?

Thank you for confirming that my in-laws are fools. When they point out something that Trump said or did, I often inform them that Obama did the same thing. They scoff and say I watch too much FOX.

Willful fools. And millions more like them. I like to think we're better than that here at Pilot Spin, where we do our best not to base our points on logical fallacies and worthless equivalences.

I use to keep a boat at Halifax Harbor Marina in DB.

That's about 5 miles from my house.
And about 5 miles from KDAB (class Charlie) or about 10 miles from KOMN (class Delta, where I keep my Bonanza).
And about 1 mile from the Chart House restaurant.
How far away are you now?

How often are you down? I'm in Oldsmar. Tampa, essentially. I'm just over the Hillsborough/Pinellas line at the top of Tampa Bay. I think that's about 2.5 hours from Daytona. I'm not current at the moment so I won't be flying over. :)
What about Sun 'N Fun? I missed the last couple years. Might go this year.

That is funny, because liberals think they have more resilience too.
I think extremists on both sides tend to talk too much and listen too little.

How do you define a conservative extremist?
1. Those that want the Constitution to matter, and enforced as WRITTEN, not "interpreted" politically?
2. Those that don't believe in man's catastrophic influence on climate?
3. Those that don't think government should constantly Social Engineer?
4. Those that want to own, and be able to legally carry guns?
5. Those that want lower taxes, and less government control?
What is so extreme about that?

There are actual right wing extremists but the left paints ALL conservatives as “extremists”.
Here is the difference: A normal conservative wants illegal immigration stopped but is open to legal immigration and if not open to it, then it’s because of economic reasons. An extremist might be against all immigration of “brown” people because they are white supremicists and actually racist. This does not apply to the overwhelming majority of conservatives.
A normal conservative might be against abortion and even march in pro life rallies. An extremist would bomb clinics and murder doctors. Again, not the majority.
On the other side, a “normal” left wing person might believe we need government programs to assist the underprivileged and they may feel that way out of genuine compasssion. An extremist would feel all wealth needs to be redistributed out of hatred for “the rich”. Their schemes would cause devastating damage to society but they can’t or won’t see that or don’t care.
Extremist views can worm their way into the majority. Lynch mobs can be formed on either side. Right now in the U.S. it is the extremists on the left making headway. The right has correctly identified what is extreme and rejected it among their own. This is the critical step the left has failed to do. Ask a conservative what crosses the line from normal to evil and he will tell you. Ask a liberal and they cannot tell you. For example they cannot tell you where the line is when confiscation of private property is “too much”. They cannot state that there is point where banning fossil fuels will result in grievous harm. They cannot admit that the ultimate expression of their ideals is North Korea and the Soviet Union. They can’t do it, I’ve never heard a single liberal ever admit that. By contrast all conservatives (except the extreme minority) will admit that Hitler was evil.

I completely agree with you Rush.
But I also agree with those that say most liberals consider all conservatives as extremists.
-

Yes I agree with that too and it’s largely because liberals are being fed a very false narrative about what conservatives are by a biased media and entertainment industry. Plus, since they cannot see their own boundary between normal and extreme, they also can’t see it in conservatives.

Uh oh, they’re waking up. Morning Joe is on the case!
Wait, they should “look to Nancy Pelosi for guidance?” Mebbe not. ;D
During a monologue this morning, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough acknowledged that the numbers represented “a heck of a turnaround” and blamed Democrat “overreach” for boosting Trump.
Pointing to numerous “unforced errors” by Democrats in recent weeks, including the botched rollout of the ‘New Green Deal’, the New York late term abortion controversy and the Virginia blackface scandal, Scarborough said Trump could assert that he is “here to protect you from the extreme Democrats.”
“They’ve only been there for two months and they’ve already given Donald Trump his closing argument for the 2020 campaign,” said the former Republican Congressman, adding, “all they are doing is making the once unthinkable now possible and that is the election of Donald Trump in 2020.”
The Morning Joe host went on to warn that young Democrats in Congress were providing Trump with “way too much fodder” and that they should look to Nancy Pelosi for guidance because “she has already proven she knows how to defeat Donald Trump.”
“They’ve got to play smarter,” said Scarborough.

How do you define a conservative extremist?
Well, I use a definition that says it's a person who cannot accept that people have different ideas.
I understand that people have different ideas and that doesn't bother me unless they try to constrain me with their ideas. I'm an extremist about true liberty, aka a classic (real) liberal.
