In Topics: Trump Hildabeast Media Stupidity US Feral Government alt-right/MAGA ctrl-left
This post would normally start with our usual Peak Stupidity disclaimer noting what particular stupidity spouted by President Trump has pissed us off lately. I was reminded of that Platinum Plan yesterday - remember that one? 'nother post, say no more. I'll skip the disclaimer for this one based on time.
Until yesterday It's the shutdown of the Feral Government, and I feel fine ... was the only post we've written on the Feral Gov't shutdown this time around. That was over a month ago. It's not Peak Stupidity's job to follow this wonky stuff, but there's a point to be made here in favor of Donald Trump. I could get into the previous shutdowns - basically face-offs over spending between red-squad and blue-squad - over the years, with a win/loss count.
I needn't bother. I know what always happens. It's GECKO every time. (GOP Every time CucKs Out? Best I could do on short notice ...) The GOP has backed down each time because they always have the whole Establishment against them, which includes the Regime Media. So the story is framed that it's those mean Conservatives ruining your trip to Yosemite to climb Half Dome, and that's why your flight is delayed, going to see the world's biggest ball of yarn instead.
That is, it's always happened until this time. That's because,
He's also learned something from last time around. Early on, at the time of his inauguration in '17, we hoped - see here and here - that he was going to clean up the press gallery. He didn't, like, get around to it or something. This time around he has. There are no Constitutional principles violated even in his kicking out Regime Media people, whatever the excuses. The excuses have often been pretty lame, anti-Semitism, whatever, but Trump does not always show his hand. Doing this finally is part of draining The Swamp. The Regime Media are Swamp creatures.
More in his wheelhouse, Trump has been expertly egging on the Regime Media. He WANTS them to write things about him, bad or good, due to his ego alone, but also he seems to often have ready a plan of counter-attack. The Regime Media can't help themselves. They love it so, attacking Trump. All it does is keep the story in the news, but mostly the way Trump wants it, as he's just very good at this.
I'll finally get around to the image up top. This was a search for that re-named article on ZeroHedge. I was going to insert another word there to help me find it. I swear that I didn't type in "Schumer" or "S" even. This just came up from google's "completion" algorithm. Now, it takes a lot to get google to give you unbiased results, much more, Conservatively-biased results. Someone has been typing in "Schumer Shutdown" in his searches, a whole lot. Well, millions of people must be, and/or the results they are clicking on are ones with that terminology.*
"Schumer Shutdown", "Schumer Shutdown", "Schumer Shutdown". You've got to drill it in via repeated use. The Regime Media has probably been including something along the lines of "... the vindictive MAGA supporters who call it the 'Schumer Shutdown", often, as they tell us that it's NOT Chuckie Shumer's fault and how wrong Trump is about this, but yet "Schumer Shutdown" is in there nonetheless!
This matters because, as I'll get into here shortly, sound bites do work. The actual details in that ALREADY PASSED BBB being fought over might make lots of people's eyes glaze over. (That's very unfortunate, but many such cases.) A Ron DeSantis could explain what BS this is out of the ctrl-left, as I will, Trump probably couldn't if he tried, but, for many, it's "This is Schumer's Shutdown. Back off, Schumer, so I can get back from seeing the biggest ball of yarn on schedule and get out to Yosemite!" (... or, more seriously "from Toronto after seeing that amazing World Series.")
What is the fight over? We haven't got into it here. From one of the ZeroHedge articles linked to in our last post:
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) recently noted that Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in ]NEW!] spending, including,I thought they already passed that Big Bubous Budget Bill. The GOP, with a lot of cajoling and Trump drama, got it passed finally.
$200 billion in taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens
$358 billion in COVID-era Obamacare subsidies
$500 million to Fake News outlets
$5 billion for wasteful foreign projects like $3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy grants
No, see, that's only how the GOP rolls, not how the ctrl-left rolls. If you recall, after the Hildabeast's attempt** 3 decades ago at a Government take-over of (the rest of) American healthcare, a decade and a half later, it was baaaack! That was รbโญma-care. There was a hell of a political fight. The ctrl-left pulled out all the stops, including, I'm pretty sure, blackmailing Chief Justice Roberts, who called this obviously unConstitutional program a tax, or not a tax, I dunno, whatever worked, so it was A-OK. OK, though, that bill was passed and it "passed Constitutional muster", so, for the GOP, OK, that was that. "We lost, fair and square."
The ctrl-left keeps fighting. Sure that bill passed, but we'll just fight it again another day. We'll put everything back the way we wanted it. Let's see... ahhh, another government shutdown deal oughta do the trick. Except, Donald Trump!
Then, the GOP would pass CRs, Continuing Resolution, bills to keep the money flowing another month at a time, as they tried to get the heat taken off them when dealing in this way with the ctrl-left. The latter seemed to always get their way in the end, as they browbeat the GOP with help from the Regime Media. Except, Donald Trump!
Besides the standard name calling (did he or his people not found a derogatory version of Schumer? If not, why not?!), Trump has been sure to, very accurately, I might add, make clear to America that the ctrl-left wants health care for illegal aliens. This is the hill they apparently want to die on. Trump's up on the peak with the crew-served auto-fire .50.
Say what you want, this guy fights! This guy #Wins! Well, we'll see on this one. No, it doesn't mean Trump, MAGA and the GOP aren't still busting the budget with whatever happens, but I don't blame them for not wanting to lose this financial game of musical chairs.
NOTE: Per Peak Stupidity Legal Department memo just received, we must state the following to all reading from the Regime Media:
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you write against MAGA can and will be used against you in a Trump Tweet. Do you understand these rights as I've blogged them to you?
* In order to get search engine attention to this site, I use these various sites often to pretend search for it. I do think these people have probably programmed in logic to avoid people or bots just "banging on it" from the same IPs. There are other ways around this, of course, but I try to "search" a lot while traveling.
