Two Possible Paths Forward for the World

1. Now imagine just how STUPID all of AOC’s handlers and supporters are … the people who REALLY run the Democrat Party.

   1. TBH … I care less about AOC’s stunted geopolitical knowledge as I do about her COMMUNIST commitment.

      “So when you run for president, are you going to impose a wealth tax or a billionaire’s tax?” New York Times correspondent Katrin Bennhold asked the congresswoman when talking about “the rise of populism.”

      AOC stifled a laugh and sidestepped the question: “I don’t think that anyone — and that we don’t have to wait for any one president to impose a wealth tax. I think that it needs to be done expeditiously.”

      AOC wants to come for my wealth … expeditiously. She needs to be sent back to Puerto Rico … expeditiously. Or Coobah … her choice.

      1. Take your wealth?
         First step, like Mamdummy; raid the retirees benefits fund.

         1. TAKE everything not stuffed into your mattresses.
            Well at least until the Neo-Stasi come toss your bedroom.

   2. The people who really run the Democratic Party are not stupid. Sandy is, but she wouldn’t be any more in charge of her White House as Joe was.

2. The autopsy:

3. Two possible paths?! Aww, man.. that’s one too many. Which one is gonna give me more free shit?!

   1. Per Robert Frost’s last stanza…

      I shall be telling this with a sigh
      Somewhere ages and ages hence:
      Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
      I took the one less traveled by,
      And that has made all the difference.

   2. Both will give lots of free stuff.

      For example: for the 2026 fiscal year, the US budget deficit is expected to be $1.9 trillion.

   3. Yep. I voted for MORE FREE STUFF one hundred times, last election … by Mail.

   4. One will give you a modicum of the free; the other will give you shit. Choice is perhaps not as much yours as you would prefer — them’s the breaks.

4. Just two roads? One, a neocon and two, a communist airhead. I’ll take Rand Paul, thanks.

   1. In Rand Paul’s world … Iran would have already developed nukes … because it’s none of our business … and nobody would be questioning which pathway incinerates them faster.

      1. Good post, Kenji. Right on.

   2. Rand Paul is incredibly comfortable with having the neocons and communists in power, and not so much with whatever pushes back against them. Mustn’t have his little applecart upset after all! A ‘principled libertarian’ has to look out for their own self-interest!

5. Is AOC prepping for a Senate run?

   Will she also enter the presidential race? Perhaps to get more visibility for her senate run?

   1. Both AOC and HER are in Munich … is AOC angling for an endorsement?

   2. Don’t fool yourself, she’s all in on running for president, and the Democrats are likely to line up behind her because she has all the minority creds.

      The thing about her Munich Meltdown that most amazes me is that she seems to believe she actually said something coherent and consequential. That “rule-based order” was her slam dunk. She was up all night memorizing it.

      I guess you can’t be a believable candidate unless you’re a narcissist who thinks yourself the chosen one. Just like Kamala.

      1. They likely will because with the words AOC used (was rehearsed to say more likely) she is signalling that she’s all in on being the good little foot soldier that the real power brokers require of a candidate. She’ll do exactly as ordered in return for her little piece of pie.

         I do question why they sent her over though — she’s famously inept. Probably has something to do with the public’s perception of her as ‘the innocent outsider’ — this is a real perception carried by many which people shouldn’t underestimate. Bonus points for being a youngish woman and a ‘minority’ (quotes on purpose as a highly marbelized American I find the race topic a ridiculous one; she looks no more ‘brown’ than many in my own, considered Caucasian, family…we really do need to let it go; we are…conditioned…to never do so).

6. Pretty sure AOC’s definition of working class is a whole lot closer to “People who vote for me” then actual working class.

   Those self employed plumbers and contractors with trucks earning 250k a year well they are just part of the rich community that need to be taxed until they cry.

7. AOC uses the commie phrase “income inequality”.
   What kind of jackal begrudges what the other guy has as long as they have enough themselves and an open road to continued prosperity and liberty?

8. While many are focusing on the glorious trainwreck that is the highly curated AOC, an important thing was said by Rubio: this de-industrialization was a CHOICE. That’s a very important snippet to ponder over especially going forward.
