A Waste Of Perfectly Good Irony

The Times opens what looks like a large, six-part elegy for Obama (Metaphor! Please don't anyone shoot the SOB!) with this:

Once Skeptical of Executive Power, Obama Has Come to Embrace It

Mr. Obama will leave the White House as one of the most prolific authors of major regulations in presidential history.

They've noticed! And I assume they are all-in, since it is an evil, hate-filled bunch of Republican bigots blocking this good and sincere man. (OK, I ought to read the piece, but then, I ought to floss regularly and how is that working? (Or should I?)

Anyway, on to the irony utterly lost on Timesman. They are pushing hard for Hillary, who with her private email server has demonstrated a distinct aversion to the Freedom of Information Act, the National Archives Act, and Congressional oversight. She has now had one press conference in the last seven months, and has a well-earned reputation for obfuscation and opacity. As to her disclosure of donors to the Clinton Foundation and their possible conflicts with business before the State Department, don't ask - this legacy article was published by the Times back when Warren and Biden were still in play, but don't look for this sort of coverage between now and November.

And this woman with this record will be succeeding a lauded Democrat who has made it a point to bypass Congress at every opportunity. Sometimes the courts thwart him, but Hillary will have a chance to appoint a fifth liberal Justice and create an open legal and regulatory playground for progressives.

Yet the Times is worried about Trump as a threat to the Constitution? Their list of concerns needs to be lenghtened.

Sean Hannity Should Blame Himself For Putting Hillary in the White House

If Obama was ever skeptical of executive power, (which I doubt, but I don't want to spoil a fantasy dream for the authors of this piece of Obama loving fluff) it was only if and when George Bush wielded it.

The New York Times says it's the "paper of record". Well Baron Von Munchausen would have been a perfect reporter for today's Times. It's all the fantasy that's fit to print.

[henry]

Hillary is probably the only way to get Obama out of the "Worst President Ever" slot.

[henry]

They ran out of "paper of record" in Venezuela. You should probably stock up before Hillary is elected.

[daddy]

Drudge is headlining Preet's investigation of the Clinton Foundation. Press is no Comey.

Just for clarity, is it pretty much a given now that Comey's actions re: the non-recommendation of charges against Hillary in E-MailGate, proved him to be just another corrupt man in the corruptible town of DC?

My take is that he knew what the correct thing to do was, and he knew when he should have done the correct thing, but he decided against doing the correct thing, thereby proving himself to be another unprincipled, gutless Federal Paycheck receiver, deserving of our scorn, like John Roberts and a ton of others, for flushing his duty to support and defend the Constitution down the drain.

Am I too harsh in my judgement, or is that pretty much the shared opinion now of FBI misdirector Comey?

[lyle]

Not too harsh for me.

Ever notice how politicians on the left and the right began seriously reining in our freedoms starting in the sixties and seventies while giving themselves unlimited freedom and power? They keep tightening the noose, squeezing out our productivity and motivation as a nation, and yet they get richer and more powerful daily. They've made themselves wealthy landowners on the people's sweat.

How dense does a person have to be to not recognize that a Donald Trump personality would be inevitable? He's the unconventional warrior sent to destroy the king and all his soldiers and scribes. He appeals to the people because he owes no debts or allegiance to the king or the king's court. He talks brashly over the king's psycho-babble and exposes the king's nakedness. He speaks plainly to the people, promising to give back to them what the king and his court have stolen.

I reposted an Insty link on Farcebook of a Salon article from 2013 that said how great Hugo Chavez' socialism was working out. The byline is Salon but it reads like a piece from the Onion. Unfortunately Leftist Derangement Syndrome is spreading faster than Zika.

It lurked in the jungles of Cuba and Venezuela and has now infected a large proportion of the populace of Washington, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

The Russian Democracy Experiment, a think tank in St. Petersburg, has admitted that they are responsible for the leaking of Democrat cell phone numbers in order that Sanders supporters, OWSies, and BLM activists can mau mau them in a Democratic manner into compliance with Comrade Sanders manifesto.

He added, “They saw two little notes with a ‘C’ on it — this is the biggest load of bull I’ve ever heard — that were about telephone calls that she needed to make. The State Department typically puts a little ‘C’ on it to discourage people from discussing it in public in the event the secretary of state, whoever it is, doesn’t make a telephone call. Does that sound threatening to the national security to you?”

Fuck off, you simple son of a whore; putting a pervert and his grifter enabler in the same zip code as anything classified is threatening to national security and has gotten thousands of better people killed.

[Miss Marple 2]

cheerleader,

I ran across one reporter who seems to understand Trump (other than Charlie Hurt). He is David Martosko of the Daily Mail. Look at this series of tweets from him:

4 hours ago

1/ What everyone is missing: Trump's election-observer rant has nothing to do with polling places or the mechanics of election day at all.

2/ It's about subliminal persuasion, media manipulation. He's managed to make thousands of reporters write "voter fraud," "Clinton" together

3/ same with the business about ISIS and Obama as "founder." While he offers contradictory explanations on successive days, ...

4/ ... news consumers are getting a mental imprint of those words (Obama, founder, ISIS) which resonates far longer than the news cycle.

5/ If you look back at his so-called gaffes, I would argue many were intentional -- to change the language used to discuss his opponents

6/ Bottom line: Trump has always been willing to play the long game, and he's using language to plant seeds that take months to germinate.

7/ The next time Trump says something incomprehensible, pay attention to the language, not the message, if you want to understand him -END-

This might be an additional reason why he is doing so many rallies. He's got an event in Fairfield, Connecticut tonight.

So, I am inside the house watching Olympics and Mrs. JiB and one our friends come home with shopping and she says, "who is the van parked out front in our parking area?" And I go what?

Sure enough, in front of our house, beyond our hedges, in our parking area, is a large van with Illinois plates, obviously a rental. So, Mrs. JiB has parked our car it can't back out. The police have come and they will arrange a tow truck. But if it doesn't come before the people who parked it come then I am going to make some big bucks.

They charge $40 to park at Cooper's Beach, so I figure $60 to park in my front parking area. And just to be really cheeky I am thinking about making their trip out here even more miserable and press trespassing charges then after a slobbering fest drop them.

Either that or demand their first born.

On catch-up, I see that TM's previous post and paste from the NYTimes, on "unexpected developments in ObamaCare", contains 2 "unexpecteds" in 1 sentence. (Is that a record?)

NYTimes: "The unexpected laser focus on price has contributed to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses among the country’s top insurers, as fewer healthy people than expected have signed up."

Other than the NYTimes, the only other periodical I can recall that was so continually caught unawares by "unexpected developments," was a mag called "Tales Of The Unexpected."

It was a decent mag. You guys may remember it. I suggest the NYTimes use some of that mags old covers for future "unexpected" NYTimes stories, since that mag wrote way better headlines and we won't all nod off right from the git-go. For example:

1)---This one they could use for stories on unexpected consequences of illegal Immigration:

2)---This one they could use for coverage of the unexpected pollution in the Swimming Pools at the Rio Olympics:

3)---This one on unexpected arguments for Hillary from #NeverTrumper George Will:

4)---This one for unexpected tales of Trump's hair:

5)---This one they could use for unexpected stories from Hillary's Secret Service Bodyguards, and for Ted Cruz's unexpected Canadian citizenship:

6)---These 2 on unexpected "harbingers" of Global Warming catastrophe:

7)---This one on Walmart, where of course everything is unexpected to the Times reporters

8)---This one on the unexpected adoption of Environmentalism by the Commies:

9)---Naturally number (8) requires one on unexpected columns from Mark Steyn:

10)---And of course this applies to the unexpected consequences to the Big Apple of Mayor DeBlasio, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter:

Feel free to play along yourself: "Tales Of The Unexpected" comic book covers

I see a method here.

1. Consent decree exists, although GOP doesn't say much about it. Got to keep those donations coming.

2. Trump knows about it and thinks its BS.

3. Starts talking about how the system is rigged. (It is, obviously.)

4. Asks for people to pay attention and watch.

5. NeverTrumpers baited into saying Trump may be violating it. (When they have NEVER brought it up before, as many of them don't care about losing elections.)

6. Now we have a situation where this is going to be discussed out in the open. I would bet very few voters know that legalized cheating is allowed in minority areas.

Excellent comment. Codevilla wrote a long article which was expanded into a book. Trende's 2012 election analysis was expanded into a 4 part series of articles at RCP. The problems have been written about in great detail well before Trump's candidacy and the 2016 primaries. It was the stupid party that didn't look at any of it and doubled down on stupid. Now they are surprised that the people they conned into voting for them actually wanted some results.
