Who are the Villains?
I hate to be a Hollywood belittler,
And yet, you ever notice how
The stock bad guy in films is always Hitler
And never Stalin, Lenin, or Mao?
It would require them to potentially alienate their boomer base, which, since they themselves are all boomers, they cannot fathom. It would also require someone far more courageous, educated, wise, and articulate than anyone currently in office.
"We will deport 50 million illegals, housing prices will drop, the illegals' artificial welfare stimulus supporting stock prices will lead to a large correction, and you boomers will have to endure some short-term penalty to your net worth. But the illegal welfare bankrupting the nation will be gone, markets and housing values will recover on a new, sustainable basis, and in time your children and grandchildren will prosper as no one on earth has prospered."
Can you imagine the boomer Republican leadership delivering this message? Or their boomer base accepting it?
The most emotional and out of touch are always shouting the most cringe advice:
--Dad, who never played little league, at my '80s little league games, shouting over and over to me at 1st: "Adam! Get on 3rd base! Get on 3rd base!"
Father-in-law, who never played soccer, over and over at his granddaughter's soccer team 2 weeks ago: "Kick it HARD!"

@LeaderJohnThune --Absurd lack of self-awareness.
--Rebooting to "StandardPoliticianTalkingPoints.exe" day after day after day.

What a load of lying horseshit.
"Jesus would agree with me about stealing your hard-earned money through taxation, and then bribing hostile foreigners with it to vote with me. Oh, and then to use those foreigners to replace you and rest of the people who built America. That too." Fuck right off.
@FirstSquawk PMs ticking cautiously higher in the face of imminent Fed hikes=sovereigns (and everyone else) surreptitiously sidling towards the treasury market exits as the worldwide debt crisis looms.
@EricLDaugh They don't want to win and fix the country. They just want to peddle outrage to their donors and manage the decline. Every Republican senator needs to be primaried.
American female spy at a bar in Beijing attempting to seduce a Chinese tech CEO:
“I have a boyfriend. And a master’s degree. Does that intimidate you? I’m a cunt. I’m a real bitch. I read 275 pornographic novels last year. Does that impress you? Can you even read? My water is about to get shut off, can you Venmo me $2,000? I’m 207 pounds. My ex-boyfriend abused me. I’ve had an abortion. Do you like my tattoos? They’re a muffin and a big ship.”
