There\u2019s a Hole in the Minds of Democrats<\/strong><\/h1>\n

To make a call back to the seminal 90\u2019s TV series Babylon 5, which I expect series creator JMS, now a complete shitlib, will destroy with his reboot\u00a0(Definition: \u201cto make worse and add diversity\u201d \u2014 H\/T Kevin Smith),<\/em>\u00a0the Democrats have a massive hole in their strategy to destroy capital formation in the US for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

This week Sen. Joe Manchin (D?-WV) personally blew up no less than five terrible taxes that were signature pieces of the \u2018Build Back Better\u2019 bill attached to this year\u2019s budget. It was a masterful performance of standing up, being #ungovernable, and simply saying, \u201cYou know what? No.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, I fully expect Manchin to cave at some point, just like Kyrsten Sinema has on a few things. But now that Manchin has forced Democratic \u201cleadership\u201d to strip out everything the Progressives want, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trapped in a hedge maze of her own design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it left Biden going empty-handed for COP26 in Glasgow, the Climate Summit where the world\u2019s leaders get to harangue us about our selfishness for not wanting to freeze to death in winter or, you know, eat.<\/p>\n

He was supposed to show up with a\u00a0Davos<\/em>-approved plan to gut the ability of American companies to create wealth of any significance while ensuring our tax system was as much in alignment with the\u00a0commies<\/s>\u00a0technocrats in Europe as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pelosi took her big swing yesterday at the Progressives and missed badly, daring them to vote against the bill hours after Biden bumbled his way through trying to explain why $1.75 trillion equals zero.<\/p>\n

The vote never happened and now we have a palpable civil war within the Democratic party.<\/strong>\u00a0And nothing could be better for the future of humanity.<\/p>\n

The Democrats,\u00a0as my partner Dexter White put it recently in our podcas<\/a>t, aren\u2019t a party but rather \u201ca coalition of the aggrieved.\u201d Because of this there is no one policy idea that unites them<\/p>\n

Rather they are only animated by the absence of a policy while simply aggregating all those who believe the media that it\u2019s self-righteous to hate Republicans.<\/p>\n

In short, the Democrats don\u2019t stand\u00a0for<\/em>\u00a0anything but rather are simply another victims support group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the hole in their minds resides, when you then try to stand for something, in this case global communism run by Eurocrats from Brussels, you have no clear messaging as to what you want to achieve, other than, \u201cburn the heretics at the stake!\u201d. And that doesn\u2019t really play well without looking completely insane to everyone who isn\u2019t a\u00a0\u201cpurple-haired cat lady on a cocktail of antidepressants ranting about white supremacy.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

And because of that it creates a hole not only in strategy but in conception. \u00a0They have a massive blind spot thinking that the rules they\u2019ve always known are still in place. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pelosi only sees this in terms of her own biases \u2014 hating Republicans, besting tyrannical men, being top dog, slitting throats, etc. \u00a0She\u2019s not seeing nor caring about the bigger picture, this is all about winning the political battle because that\u2019s all she knows.<\/p>\n

Schumer has become a laughingstock not only within his own party but in general. He\u2019s been exposed as such a shill for internationalist and intelligence agency forces within our government that he hasn\u2019t sat down on a chair without a hole in it for years, lest he break the hand stuck up his ass making him speak.<\/p>\n

Mitch McConnell has outplayed both of them in every conceivable way.<\/p>\n

The Progressives thought they had this locked up because DNC leadership was given their marching orders from\u00a0Davos<\/em>\u00a0which was their agenda all along. All each group had to do was virtue signal to their aggrieved supporters and the two factions would Straussian Two-Step (Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis) their way to victory.<\/p>\n

The main problem with this is that the Democrats were arguing against themselves and forgetting about what the rest of the country actually thought about this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s like they are daring us to stop them shooting themselves in the head. And this torture won\u2019t stop until we get to the debt ceiling drop dead date in December.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

And that manifested itself as two people, Manchin and Sinema, who stood up and said, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be fucking kidding me!\u201d \u00a0<\/strong>These bills are not only unnecessary but they are designed to ensure 1) no Democrats in swing states\/districts gets elected ever again and 2) sells the country out for an agenda that is clearly not in any American\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t run a government solely on ideological blindness, bullying and Kompromat. If you do you get what\u2019s going on today on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Notice how dysfunctional everyone sounds.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday night, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wrote a letter to fellow congressional Dems saying, \u201c[Biden] inspired us with his vision and dazzled us with his thorough knowledge of the specifics of the Build Back Better Framework.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seriously Nancy? There\u2019s a word to describe Biden today and it most certainly ain\u2019t \u2018dazzling.\u2019 Then again, that just may be the booze goggles talking.<\/p>\n

Moreover, you can\u2019t stage a successful coup against a people just awake enough to see through the plans no matter how many you silence, lie about, arm-twist or just flat-out kill.<\/p>\n

Sinema and Manchin may eventually cave here but the delays they have cost\u00a0Davos<\/em>\u00a0in getting these bills passed, if they ever do, has been nearly as valuable as the things got forced out of them, c.f. Biden going to COP26 with his Depends in his hands.<\/p>\n

These bills were supposed to be passed this summer. This was supposed to be over. The Fed\u2019s narrative then was \u2018inflation is transitory.\u2019 Now only the one clinging desperately to that old chestnut is ECB President Christine Lagarde,<\/strong>\u00a0who\u2019s \u201csoul searching\u201d I\u2019m sure has everyone in the Euro-zone comforted while they realize that for the first time in their lives they really do wish Santa would put coal in their stockings this Christmas.<\/p>\n

Oh, who am I kidding? He won\u2019t be allowed into Europe without a stupid vax pass.<\/p>\n

Everyone who isn\u2019t anyone to the Democrats is now worried about inflation.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0White House Press Secretary Psaki, not even smart enough to be considered a midwit, would, like an animal, rather chew her own leg off than admit any policy error, continues to try and take credit for the \u2018supply chain\u2019 breakdowns because everyone is spending again\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u2026 well if that\u2019s the case, Jenn, why do we need $4.5 trillion in new spending and taxes?<\/p>\n

\u201cUmm\u2026 yeah [begins packing up her papers] let me circle back to you on that\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Really? \u00a0How about you circle back to the hole you crawled out of you condescending twat!<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the absurdity of this entire affair. \u00a0These people aren\u2019t just clowns, they are willful clowns. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinema is smart enough to realize this and has played them perfectly now for months. \u00a0I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll ever sign off on these bills. Even if she eventually does, she has personally cost Pelosi and\u00a0Davos<\/em>\u00a0months they didn\u2019t have and more than $3 trillion in spending they were planning on using to buy favors, judges, police chiefs, mayors, immigrants and quislings for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

The taxes and ideas that Manchin forced onto the cutting room floor of this really bad movie were literally the end of America as a haven for building wealth. Taxing unrealized capital gains is simply backdoor nationalization of all strategically-important companies and would ensure that any new competition would be undermined before it ever became big enough to challenge the existing ones.<\/p>\n

Stop thinking like an unquenchably envious Marxist for just five seconds and you\u2019ll realize that everyone involved in this circus truly does believe you\u2019ll be better off \u2018owning nothing\u2019 because \u2018you didn\u2019t build that\u2019 anyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hole in their minds is the simplest idea of all \u2026 what if someone on Capitol Hill thought for themselves, did some games theory and realized they had more real power than everyone else strutting around like they own the place?<\/p>\n

Call me not cynical enough if you want, but with the events of this week, I\u2019m more convinced than ever that these bills never get passed. \u00a0Pelosi has no leverage, even on the language, no less the tax rates and the pork.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m right and Powell is draining Europe dry. He will let rates rise crushing the ECB. Then by the time he steps down, assuming he\u2019s not reappointed, it may not even matter if Obama and\u00a0Davos\u00a0<\/em>get their way and Lael Brainard takes over for him.<\/p>\n

The Clown Car may already be on fire and the audience already left the big top.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think that\u2019s possible?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

Lagarde looked like the person out of her depth she actually is answering questions about stagflation in the Euro-zone.\u00a0<\/strong>All it took was some bad European inflation data\u00a0<\/a>to cause the euro to sink into Friday\u2019s close.\u00a0The European Parliament is now suing the European Commission<\/a>\u00a0for not punishing Hungary and Poland for still thinking they\u2019re independent countries.\u00a0And the eurodollar market is now calling everyone\u2019s bluff forecasting rate hikes in Europe\u00a0<\/a>while Lagarde is waffling on ending PEPP (the latest version of QE).<\/p>\n

These are the parasites the Democrats are really trying to save while simultaneously try to keep their coalition together long enough to keep us around as the host for them to feed on.<\/p>\n

Mind the hole in the floor of the Capitol, Nancy, it wasn\u2019t caused by Trump supporters throwing a tantrum on January 6th. You dug that one all by yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ack Ack.<\/p>\n
