The Identity Politics Superweapon

Political Animal 24 Comments

Has gone off in the bombmakers’ hands.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is in full-blown turmoil.
 
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairwoman Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) was set to make an unplanned trip to Washington from her district Monday amid an outcry from top black and Latino lawmakers over a lack of diversity in the campaign arm’s senior management ranks.
 
Bustos’ sudden return to D.C., just days after Congress left for a six-week-long August recess, comes as aides and lawmakers are calling for systematic changes to the DCCC, the party’s main election organ.
 
POLITICO reported last week that black and Hispanic lawmakers are furious with Bustos’ stewardship of the campaign arm. They say the upper echelon of the DCCC is bereft of diversity, and it is not doing enough to reach Latino voters and hire consultants of color.

A better metaphor, in the comments;

When you over-fill that (identity politics) crab bucket, those nasty buggers spill out all over the place and the next thing you know, there’s claws and pincers coming at you from all sides…

One last kick at the cat: Mueller testifies on Capitol Hill

I can’t be bothered, but YMMV.

Related” The very fact that Democrats had to subpoena Mueller in order to create this final moment should in fact be the final reminder of what a mistake it was for Democrats to have waited on him.

Ok, I changed my mind. This testimony is quite something…

As the Democrats talk “McGahn! McGahn! McGahn!”. This was their strategy???

As the Republicans introduce new and difficult questions with every questioner.

And then, this happened.

More postmortems.

‘This is Painful’
Waste of time
Could you repeat the question?

From the comments;

You have to look at this from a perspective of “how is this beneficial to the Democrats”. They, obviously, were aware of Mueller’s mental state (having met with his representatives and him continuously over the last month) and, they also know, that he didn’t select the investigative team. In fact, the investigative team selected him as the front man. But, how is this beneficial to the Democrats?
 
The only thing I can suggest is that they are going to throw Mueller under the bus. This is merely and apparatus to suggest that their own ongoing and obsessive investigations (Congressional House) are clearly warranted and necessary since the Special Investigator was so inept. They are going to go full retard on subpoenas etc. And, the entire time they are going to cite the improperly done Mueller investigation as their justification.

Credible theory.

Socialist Weasel has the sads.

The Content Of Her Character

David Steinberg;

The first Somali-born woman and the first female Muslim to be elected to a U.S. statehouse, Ilhan Omar defeated 44-year incumbent Phyllis Kahn in the Democrat-Farmer-Labor primary for Minnesota House District 60B in 2016. A former child refugee from civil war, Omar was perceived as a best-case image for shepherding progressive causes against President Trump. Ilhan Omar’s individual character, however, was openly trending towards worst-case.
 
She had written anti-Semitic statements indistinguishable from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. She had disturbing associations with Islamic terror-tied groups. Sources within the Minneapolis Somali community presented evidence, including a video, of the “East Africa Team” members of Ilhan Omar’s campaign openly threatening local Somalis who may have released negative information about her.

Update: Mark Levin agrees.

Baiting The Left Political Animal 24 Comments

… and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now? watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party. There’s only one solution to the gangrene caused by her and that brother-marrying weirdo who cheers for the wrong side in Black Hawk Down and Ms. Palestine. You have to amputate. But the donkeys can’t do it. That would cripple or kill the patient. So, what to do about the infection ravaging their party? It’s quite the dilemma.

Calling us Normal people racists and sexist and all those other -ists and -phobes was all good fun and good business for the Democrats up until now. It was nothing personal. We weren’t these horrible things, and Liberal, Inc., knew we weren’t these horrible things, but saying we were riled the rubes and churned the votes and so the libs did it. But the AOCretins actually believe this stuff. They hate America and Americans where the Democrat leadership merely holds America and Americans in contempt. They want to burn the whole house down, but the Democrat bigwigs live in that house.
 
And it’s delightful to watch.
 
We now have Stephen Hawking’s Protégé calling Nancy Pelosi a racist, which is just so perfect and so wonderful.

Britain’s Wacky Ambassador Quits

Pompous fool resigns;

“I profoundly regret how this episode has led Sir Kim to decide to resign. He deserves to look back upon his career as a servant of Britain with the greatest satisfaction and pride.”
 
Mr McDonald said this lunchtime that it was the first time a friendly government has refused to deal with a British envoy – after Donald Trump said he’d no longer work with the ambassador following the leaks.

Donald Trump’s ability to send members of the power elite crashing to earth is one of his greatest superpowers.

What dipstick in the OLO forced the Conservative justice committee members to support the NDP motion to pull the video stream of testimony by Lindsay Shepherd, Mark Steyn and John Robson?

When Andy Panda was running for leadership, he was all ready to board the free speech ship captained by Shepherd, going so far as to threaten Universities. Now? Well, thank you Miss, but you’ve served your purpose.

I see Andy Panda’s spine resembles the rest of his physique, pliable.

Could of had Max.
