Too little too late: Sean Davis of Federalist and Daily Caller fame says Republicans have no accomplishments, young people have no hope

 

... Republicans right now have no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision. Why on earth would anyone be excited to go vote for them 12 months from now? ... You cannot have a viable country or future when half your country and all its young people are locked out of the economy and locked out of ever owning a home or much of anything beyond next month’s streaming subscription. ...

Quoted here. 

Yeah, well, you should have thought of that sooner, because the way these things work it takes a Herculean effort to get just one or two important things of consequence done when you become president, and you have to get started right out of the box.

Obamacare was one such thing for Democrats. It's still here fifteen years later, and Republicans have no alternative to it except to try and kill it, and they can't even do that, same as in 2017.

This is Groundhog Day, all over again.

Gang of eight Democrats in the U.S. Senate join Republicans to end the longest federal government shutdown in history

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH)
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)

... The Senate voted 60-40 to move forward on a House continuing resolution, which now carries a bipartisan compromise to fund veterans’ affairs, military construction, Congress, and agriculture through the end of the fiscal year, with the rest of the government funded through January 30. 

In return, Democrats have been promised a December floor vote on extending the expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits, though it is not guaranteed to pass. ...

Mad King Ludwig rages against the machine: When Trump pardoned the J6ers, figuring out who deserved it and who didn't was just too hard for him, and so is figuring out Obamacare

 He has no clue what to do about Obamacare, so he proposes murdering it.

It's his solution for everything else, so why not?

Kill the lawfully allocated federal spending, kill the federal workers administering it, kill the agencies they worked for, kill the inspectors general making sure you comply with the federal laws you break with every breath, kill Greenland, kill Canada, kill the Houthis, kill the Iranians, and kill the drug boat operators.

Are Venezuelans next? Nigerians? And how many U.S. citizens swept up in ICE raids will die in custody, like the 20 foreigners who already have? 

Bankrupting the insurance companies overnight as he is suggesting is simply the political equivalent of what Luigi Mangione did to the United Healthcare CEO.

These pronunciamentos he keeps uttering are piling up into one great heap of nothing more than a mountain of irritable mental gestures, if you don't count the actual bodies left behind.

Republicans repealed Obamacare 37 times after 2010, but it's still alive.

They still have nothing.

A sane person observes that the options are limited with a five seat majority in the U.S. House and a three seat majority in the U.S. Senate, but sane does not describe Mad King Ludwig. He is intent on shoving down the throats of the American people whatever he can no less than Democrats did with Obamacare fifteen years ago. The Uniparty, folks.

Everything Trump does is done with the subtlety of a brick. If only he restricted himself to building.

But that is impossible for him, because he has desires . . ..

I thought we were going to invade Greenland, Canada, and Panama at the beginning of the year, but instead we've actually gone to war in Yemen, Iran, and now Venezuela and maybe even Nigeria, all in nine months. But yeah, the Democrats are responsible for all the chaos.

 

I thought we were going to cut federal spending with Elon Musk at the helm, but all we got was a phony Republican tax and spending plan for the Fourth of July which has put us $2 trillion more in debt just four months later. But damn all those fired government workers who showed up in Virginia this week to vote for a Democrat for governor.

McDonald's reports quick-service restaurant traffic down nearly double digits in 3Q for lower income consumers, up nearly double digits for higher income consumers

 But overall guest counts were contracting at McDonald's, which must mean the lower income traffic drop overwhelmed the increase from higher income consumers.

The traffic trend down for lower income consumers has persisted for almost two years, according to the story. 

CNBC here. 

... “Amid industry pressures, dynamic change, and aggressive competition, winning the fight for contracting traffic means staying customer-obsessed,” Erlinger wrote in the memo, which was viewed by CNBC. The company did not immediately respond to request for comment. ... 

“While we maintained a positive comp guest count gap, overall [guest counts] continue to decline-- underscoring the need for disciplined pricing, value, and affordability,” he wrote in the memo. ...

Erick Erickson repeats the myth that Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot

 Seen here:

“Lame duck status is going to come even faster now,” Erick Erickson, the popular conservative blogger and radio host, wrote on social media. “Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again.” 

Turnout for Democrats was YUGE yesterday.

Trump did that:

In Virginia, 59% of the electorate said cuts to the federal government had affected their finances, and two-thirds of those voters backed Spanberger, who is on pace to win by 14 percentage points, the largest victory for a Democrat in a Virginia governor’s race in decades. A full 37% of the electorate said they cast a ballot to oppose Trump, with 99% of them voting for Spanberger. 

Even Laura Ingraham, who used to have good sense about these things, climbs on the MAGA bandwagon of foolishness

"Do unto others before they do unto you".

 

There is no idea too dumb which MAGA will not repeat

 

Cernovich is delusional when he says that the absence of Trump on the ballot yesterday equated to lower voter turnout and GOP losses

Trump being absent from the ballot explains nothing about yesterday. This might come, however, from an ulterior motive in support of a Trump 2028 run. As such it is disinformation for his ignorant followers.

Yesterday's turnout was high, and arguably precisely because of Trump, for doing nothing about inflation and for literally beating people up in the streets everyday in ICE operations.

Who could be so stupid? 

Virginia turnout yesterday broke the record.

NYC mayoral turnout yesterday was the highest since 1969.

New Jersey turnout yesterday at 3.2 million plus was higher than in 2021 at 2.6 million. Democrat voters were energized to turnout.

Gee, I wonder why? 

Trump won in 2016 with the lowest turnout in two decades, when the GOP also won both House and Senate. Trump underperformed John McCain 2008 in 13 states in 2016. Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016. It was truly a Revulsion Election. Nobody liked either one of them, they just disliked Hillary more. 

But when turnout was at an all time high, in 2020, Trump lost everything: the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

Low turnout has almost always favored Republicans. It is tried and true election wisdom. High turnout not so much. 

Cernovich is allied with the likes of OG MAGA Steve Bannon, an ex-con, who is probably the chief advocate of an illegal Trump 2028 run.

What a shock, right?
