J. D. Vance, the man with a thimble full of principles, says Republicans have to violate the Posse Comitatus Act before the Democrats do

If you paid attention to NeverTrump, you knew Charlie Kirk was a phony ten years ago, which is why he promoted fellow phony J. D. Vance to be VP

 

 

Kirk hated Trump but saw an opportunity, claims ex-employee...

 

Well no shit.

The GOP today is riddled with sycophants who formerly opposed Trump but support him now. Those of us who supported Trump in 2015-2016 took great pleasure in pointing it out as they came crawling back.

Many who changed their minds about supporting Trump defend themselves today by saying they changed their minds because they were persuaded by reflection on the Trumpist agenda, but none of that is becoming the law of the land today through the GOP Congress. It's all by executive order and lawfare. None of this will last, except for the ka-ching ka-ching.

In Charlie Kirk's case, flipping to Trump has been bery bery good for Turning Point USA, which went from a lousy little $2 million operation in 2015 to an $80 million one by 2022.

I mean, how many dollars will it take before we actually get some of that fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government which it is supposed to promote, seeing that we're headed for a $2 TRILLION deficit by September 30th?

 

Considering how awful Trump is now on just about everything compared with his first term, it must be that they all flipflopped only for the money, the power, and the influence.  

 

 

  

Do you not see what's happening here? The Trump administration is declaring everything it doesn't like to be terrorism in order to justify autocratic repression of it using the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force

The run of the mill narco smugglers from Venezuela suddenly are terrorists under Trump, so they blow them up.

Suddenly the left wing Charlie Kirk critics are being transformed into terrorists, too, so they say they will also destroy them.

Who's next? Where will it end? 

J. D. Vance once wanted to stop this underlying basis for neo-con adventurism. Now the chameleon is part of its expansion to include unconstitutional domestic repression.

These people must be stopped.

Thanks to Trump/Vance appeasement of Putin, NATO ally Poland is starting to look just like Ukraine

 

Poland says it shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace during attack on Ukraine

The Polish military accused Moscow of an "act of aggression" early Wednesday. The incident marked a first for a NATO member state since the Kremlin invaded its neighbor.

 

Poland said a number of Russian drones entered its airspace during an attack on Ukraine early Wednesday and were shot down with the help of NATO allies, a first since Moscow's full-scale invasion of its neighbor. ...  Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his country was dealing with "a large-scale provocation,” and that his military recorded 19 drone incursions overnight, four of which he said were shot down. ... The E.U. called it the “most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began.” ...

J. D. Vance has had to cast six tiebreaker votes so far in the Republican-controlled U. S. Senate, this time to advance legislation cutting a measly $9 billion in spending

 Vance casts Senate tiebreaker to advance Trump’s DOGE-inspired cuts

... This was Vance’s sixth tiebreaker in the Senate, following his deciding vote on July 1 to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. ...

 Vance breaks 50-50 tie as Senate passes GOP megabill after voting around the clock

Methinks J. D. Vance doth protest too much about Jerome Powell

 

It backfired on Powell, though.

 

Yields climbed in response. 10Y went from 3.63 on Sep 16 to 4.37 by Nov 1. And core PCE inflation shot back up.

 

It's proof yet again that the Fed has next to no control over interest rates. It's one of the great myths of our time that it does, a myth Vance believes.

 

If Powell had cut and Kamala won, irrespective of what rates or inflation did, Vance might have an argument. He should quit complaining and take the win.

 

Meanwhile core PCE inflation was 2.66 in Sep 2024, same as it was in Mar 2025.

 

You'd think twice about trying that again, too, if you got burned like that, especially if you're being hectored by the tag-team wrestlers of the Oval Orifice.

 

 

 

Mark Levin is urging Donald Trump to join Israel in a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities

 Mark Levin is up against many individuals in the Trump administration who are anti-war, including J. D. Vance in particular, and Tulsi Gabbard.

Former national security adviser Mike Waltz was of the same mind as Mark Levin.

Wanting to capture power is about the least conservative thing about today's right wing

 More recently, far-right writers like Curtis Yarvin, who’s influenced Vice President JD Vance, have talked about how to capture power through a culture war. “This war is not fought with bombs and bullets, or even laws and judges,” Yarvin wrote in 2022. “This war is fought with books and films and plays and poems. It is still a savage war!”

Here.

As if power were an object outside oneself, a thing to be grasped, as opposed to something one already possessed in one's very self.

This objectification of power as outside oneself is a confession of weakness, a sign of spiritual decadence. 

Power in one's self is expressed as self-mastery and contentment. That kind of power, subjective power, radiates outward and masters its environment naturally. It doesn't need to run for office, or want to.

There is a dearth of such individuals in the country now, which is the actual problem, not that the minority which still exists doesn't rule.

Generally speaking you cannot impose virtue from the outside and make it stick. You have to change yourself.

Conservatives are stuck on a derivative. Culture is downstream from the cult. They need to swim upstream and find it.

Vice President Vance misleads people when he says immigration courts conduct jury trials, even worse he's defending deporting someone to foreign incarceration without any hearing whatsoever

This guy is shaping up to be much worse than Donald Trump.

Vance must never become president.

It's important to remember that screw-up Pete Hegseth is SECDEF because of J. D. Vance
