Tucker Carlson vs. The NSA

@WSJPolitics
The court, in a 6-3 opinion by Justice Samuel Alito that divided the court along ideological lines, upheld a pair of Arizona election rules that prohibit third parties from collecting mail-in ballots and disallow votes cast in the wrong precinct. on.wsj.com/2SLch0Q

If someone says "A whistleblower came to me and told me details of emails I sent, only someone who read them could know, and told me the NSA is spying on my and I believe this is because they want me off the air" and the NSA responds "We never targeted Tucker Carlson's communications with an eye to getting him kicked off the air" that is about as strong an admission that they did read his emails, as a non-target, as one could expect short of "We did read his emails as a non-target".
Clapper and Brennan had them reading Senate staff communications for cryin out loud. The NSA chief told Trump they were spying on him and his campaign and we know they did so intentionally illegally.
Is it possible they didn't? Sure in the sense it's possible Hugh Hefner lived an honorable, celibate life of quiet contemplation and restraint. But anyone granting proven liars and spooks the benefit of the doubt, especially after that carefully, almost comically parsed non-denial denial is a self-made sucker.

[rse]

Both of those scotus rulings are the opposite of what was hoped for in yesterday's webinar.

The alito opinion also seems to be directly on point to some of merrick garland's doj suit against Georgia.

[sbwaters]

TM: I have a hard time taking Tucker Carlson seriously

Patience, James D., TM hasn’t said whether he has a hard time taking the NSA seriously.

If he does take the NSA seriously, then he has been reading the #NYTimes as if it was a newspaper.

If he doesn’t take the NSA seriously, then he begins to recognize the severity of the threat #Leftist #Postmodernism brings to the table.

Skepticism is required all the way around.

Additionally, on 4-22-21: Judge writes: "there are facts and information,

(3/3) uniquely w/in the knowledge of (IRS) Whistleblower Office that need to be considered in connection w/resolution of petitioner's claim." Our claim states CFdn operated in violation of numerous IRS codes, rules/regs inc 'acting as agent', material misrepresentations and MORE

I don't understand why the progs are so upset that the systemically oppressed Bill Cosby was allowed to contribute to the decarceration cause.
They tell us repeatedly a millionaire black dude is still more oppressed in our white supremacist society than a cracker crack-baby born to toothless hillbilly's living in a trailer in Arkansas. Just yesterday America's first black billionaire reminded us all that crack baby owes him his share of the $14 trillion in reparations he is demanding.
Overincarceration and white rage is unjust and inequitable to multi millionaire rapists just as much as it is to poor rapists, even if they are both raping women of color. If honky privilege make poor, defiant black men commit heinous crimes against black women how much more powerful is honky culture on those unfortunate, white-hypnotized, rich and compliant black men who have so tragically bought into the white devils' schemes?

California further tilted the playing field with vote harvesting and it would be nice to see that disappear here.

Over two decades ago, I noted the Democrats had accelerated their race to the bottom. I noted how their ideology and slavish devotion to a strategy of fomenting class division in a quest for power had effectively trapped them on a path to totalitarianism.

It has now been proven their rabid base is narrow and communist in ideology but the remainder of their support consists of various minority, pressure and interest groups that have mutually exclusive goals.

Where else would you see the environmental lobby aligned with industrial unions, central planning statists aligned with private insurance companies, religious groups allied with secular humanists, the wealthy, privileged whites aligned with the BLM race warriors and statists allied with ANTIFA anarchists?

The central agreement in all these groups and the glue that holds them together is that more government coercion and control is always the first and only answer. No matter the question, total government control is the answer.

I have proposed that what has been the strength of Democrats is also their Achilles heel – the fact that their Party is a coalition of disparate, single issue groups, stitched together by political promises (and threats). The Democrat agenda is not about support for any particular minority, it is really about the accumulation and retention of power.

Progressives have a long history of uniting disparate radical groups that are opposed to what America really is – a nation of individuals. When you consider the Democrat "base", there are statists, communists, Marxists, anarchists, radical black nationalists, rich white intellectuals, counterculture rebels, anti-religionists, anti-military, anti-police, anti free enterprise and corporations – all are part of the progressive base.

But the Democrat agenda is a true zero sum game. Within the Democrat agenda, groups go in and out of favor as situations warrant. The only true interests Democrats have in these groups are their money and their votes on election day.

Take the case of feminism - Democrats were all in on "protecting" women and making the case for powerful, strong females - until they thought transgenderism was the spirit of the age and then biological women were forced to sit in the back of the Democrat bus.

Democrat's attitude toward women in sport is as misogynist as it comes. Of course, feminists, especially Third Wave feminists, have always been dishonest, seeking to compete with men (remember what a big deal the female Vanderbilt kicker was) but not allowing men to compete with women. The argument they made is that if a women can perform the same as a man, they should be allowed to play - now that argument is turned on its head when transgender women want to play in the women's arena. Now that the feminists have recognized the ruse, they are up in arms, joining with those who believe women in sport should be protected from men (no matter how they "identify"

The point being that once these disparate groups realize it is impossible for Democrats to allow for every group to have what they want – that you can’t give feminists and transgenders what they seek, give the unions what they desire and give the environmentalists theirs, too – the Democrat con game falls apart.

That is the angle of attack that should be pressed. Progressives aren't renowned for their logic but they understand covetousness and envy - even a progressive Democrat can understand when they are getting the short end of the stick.

Nancy Pelosi was visiting a primary school in Tampa and visited a grade four class. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked Mrs. Pelosi if she would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy.' So our illustrious Democrat asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy."
"No," said Pelosi , "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained Pelosi .
"That's what we would call great loss."
The room went silent. No other child volunteered. Pelosi searched the room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher held her breath.
In a quiet voice he said: "If the plane carrying you was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Pelosi , "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says Johnny, "It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss ... and you can bet your sweet ass it wouldn't be an accident either!" The teacher left the room
