The 2020 Iowa caucuses have proven an endless source of entertainment, mirth, and just pure amazement.
In the long history of these weird political events, the one just held this week had to be the weirdest of them all.
First, of course, the cast of characters we saw which range from an avowed Communist and Soviet-admirer to a burnt out corruptocrat ex-VP, and all sorts of other oddities in-between. These candidates are nuts.
Second, literally for years, everybody in the Iowa Democrat party knew the caucuses were to be held this month. The World's Oldest Political Party still managed to put together the most shambolic political event I have ever witnessed since, well, perhaps at least since the 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago. Nothing went right! Was it the fault of the vote-counting "App"? Do Democrats need to learn to code? Do they need to learn how to count? Was it just a general level of incompetence? A malicious intent to prevent Bernie from gloating about his "victory"?
Whatever it was, it was a true Seinfeld event: a tale about nothing brought to you by Marxism.
Yep, we saw a duel between the two principal Marxist wings of the Democrat Party: the Karl Marxists and the Groucho Marxists. It was all, I don't know, a sort of a matter runs into anti-matter, or unstoppable force meets immovable object collision. If train K leaves the station going West at one pm at fifty mph, and train G leaves a station 100 miles down the line going East at 2 pm . . . when will they collide?
The only thing that saves our Republic from the Democrats, it seems, is that the Karl and the Groucho wings cancel each other out.
More popcorn! Keep at it, Democrats!
Trump 2020.
Just when I thought it was safe to come out of the news moratorium. This is just cuckoo beyond nuts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up!

The Democrats seem to be accelerating, in their insanity.
ReplyDeleteAye Aye Mr. Scott~~~ I'm predicting disintegration upon or before reentry!
DeleteOW~~~
It's almost like they planned this. Because, really, I am in the IT world and standard process for any major roll out of an application that is going to have a lot of attention will have a number of trial runs, including the one the week before and the one the day before, and a final test run a couple of hours before. It is beyond incompetence to have the entire system break down without any foreseeing the issue if you spent any time planning and testing disaster recovery scenarios. Jesus, if I screwed up that bad on a project, I would not only be fired, but because of the coverage I would likely not hold a decision making position again in my career, I would likely become a chef or somethings completely away from the IT world as everyone would know me for that fiasco. It would become an Albatross around my neck.

DeleteYES SAL! I SUSPECT 'PLUGS' WENT AND HIRED A COUPLE OF UKRAINIAN COALMINERS to write the code (· · · — — — · · ·)

RUN AWAY...
Yes, but this isn't the real world. (DEEP VOICE GUY) "In a world where votes are tallied by a company run by ex-Hillary operatives and are completely in the bag for Mayor Pete, chaos is sure to happen"

State of the Union show -- On the dias, "Nanc the Ripper". In the audience, the "Women in White", reminiscent of the Ku Kluk Klanners, sitting on their hands at all the wrong moments.
ReplyDeleteThe Far Left wing of the Democrat Party has always been strongly anti-American. Now that wing dominates the national Democrat Party, how do ordinary Democrats react to last night's embarrassment?
Somebody needs to get to the bottom of this.. Kepha? Can you read this? https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3871594
ReplyDeleteConcern about a vast under-reporting of casualties.
- reader #1482
It's a simple statistical report. It says that there are 154.023 in clinic, 79，808 suspected cases,269 cured, and 24,589 deaths. Is that what you were asking about?
DeleteIt seems the article in English explains this. BTW, Taiwan News is very, very "Green", meaning they support the complete separation from China and abolition of the identity as the rump of the Republic of China established by Sun Yixian in 1911.
As for stats coming out of Mainland China, they have a long history of hiding "bad news" until it's impossible to deny. Hence, I suspect that cases are underreported for a variety of reasons. But, while we're at it, a friend in Kunming (1000 miles from Wuhan) reports that everyone is getting nervous, and shops are closing.
As for our host's post, I'm aware that Brooklyn Boynie and AOC are the Karl Marxists, but what is meant by Groucho Marxists? I'm sort of a Chico Marxist (un-PC humor) myself.
Dear Anonymous: I'll also note that Chinese "super infections" can also be exaggerated. When SARS broke out, I was teaching in Taichung, Taiwan about a quarter mile from where the island's first SARS death was reported. My wife called from the States to warn me not to take buses, etc. But I ignored the warnings, didn't get sick, didn't know anyone who caught SARS, and the people I knew didn't know anyone who caught SARS.
DeleteYeah.. hard for me to tell whether the underlying chinese in the depicted sites means what's in the article etc.
DeleteIt would be a big gap if the number of deaths were *that* heavily under-reported.

They never should have left Shahid Imran Awan go.
ReplyDeleteHa! The DNC had NO choice Fw, the Islamist POS couldn't adapt his misogynist blood letting to the demands of the #metoo world! Hell. even D. Wassermen S. couldn't cover AWAN's goulish assault on his chicks withaboatload of Islamophobic Crap trap!
Delete"Throughout the controversy over the last year, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Awan's lawyer have claimed that the many separate investigations of Awan for different crimes might stem from Islamophobia. The three women who filed police reports against Awan for violence and extortion are all Muslim."
Yeah the Islamo jackassery of the AWAN brothers and their DNC Democrap cohorts could scratch-out some passable code and thumb drive thievery, but they were no match for the Hellish power of American embued women scorned by a knife-flicking ragHead!
Speaking of just desserts, wondering when the local chapter of the Capitol Police will get a PU order for Debbie blabbermouth Shultz? 'Spect She needs a shave n' a haircut too!

"Let's Roll"
Controlled mess in Iowa is to pave Bloomberg's pathway to glory. Machine Gun Mike is buying the demshevik party to buy the Presidency.
ReplyDeleteIndifferent human suffering his imbecile green policies will cause, he'll likely continue President Trump's good economic policies to make things 'look good.'
He'll do his long planned mortal damage to the country by erasing the Second Amendment first, and then the rest. Unlimited infanticide is another of his satanic utopian fetishes which will rot the soul of the nation.
Bloomberg is rich, organized, humorless, heartless, and driven to dominate man to his injury.
He knows what's best for us, and he has long planned to give it to us, 'good and hard' as Mr. Mencken oft said.
