Day: May 1, 2019

Barr Senate Testimony Thread – May 1, 2019.

Are you ready? Are your little fingers limber? The Barr Testimony is like a NFL playoff game for the political class. The networks are bringing in the big guns to daytime — so the heavyweights can explain it to us — under the assumption we could not possibly understand it without their help. Well, our live thread has proved the pundits wrong, time and again. We are the news!
When we did the first live thread, I was surprised at the difference of what WE focused on, as regular American voters, as opposed to what quotes the pundits pulled and tried to twist out of cherry-picked testimony. Quite revealing. All are welcome for the live thread. Michael is in charge of snacks! Hope you can make it!
Here is the link to the live testimony from FOX. All the pundits will be out and wearing their best Easter outfits this morning. I’s a rehash of the Mueller report. Thankfully, Barr’s first appearance will be in front of the Lindsey Graham led Senate Judiciary Committee. At least the Republicans will have a chance to establish narrative before Jerry Nadler gets started tomorrow.

 
Put on a pot of coffee and we can have brunch together. The Barr testimony starts at 10:00am Eastern.
Here is a copy of the Barr opening statement, released last night. Only 4 pages. Easy read for those who arrive early. Link to BARR opening statement to Senate
See you soon!

Dear MAGA: 20190501 Open Topic

This REEEEEE-ATTLE MARXIST MAYHEM MAY DAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.

Remember to KEEP PRESIDENT TRUMP IN PRAYER.

WE ARE PRAYING FOR HIM

Always keep our movement’s larger purpose in mind – RESTORATION!!!

That is why there MUST BE cleaning of the SWAMP!!!

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also consider Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

NOW….

Some of you may have bad associations with “May Day”, as a day when the COMMIES come out to make noise…

Which in reality looks more like THIS…..

Although I’m sure you’d much rather be HERE…..

So NOT EVERYBODY who shows up at an activity on MAY DAY is a communist…..

But still…….

OK – admittedly that is neither May Day nor is it IN Reeattle, BUT that is the kind of people the cops have to deal with.

Enjoy your REEATTLE MAY DAY. Marxist Mayhem or not.

And remember to watch out for those White Nationalists. Because even the black ones are extremely dangerous to our democracy and cause a lot of mayhem.

Well, maybe just when nobody else is looking, or in another universe. 😉

Enjoy the show.
