The Best and Most Impossible Advice a Democrat Will Ever Get

Posted: June 5, 2024 by datechguy in Uncategorized

The foolish martyrdom of Donald Trump by the left continues as left continues to push the whole “convicted felon” line and the right counters with lists like this:

Sakharov was a convicted felon.
Solzhenitsyn was a convicted felon.
Vaclav Havel was a convicted felon.
Martin Luther King was a convicted felon.
And Nelson Mandela was a convicted felon.

Notably missing from that list is a rather famous Jewish fellow who two thousands years was was as Douglas Adams put it: “nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change“.

And lines like this:

As for Nelson Mandela, finally, what business does that convicted felon have in being in the South African president’s office?! That’s the second convicted felon who got elected to the presidency (although for the first time, not for the second). It’s scandalous! It’s a travesty!

In fairness Mandela did actually arrange for the murder of people.

But most troubling for the left it produces cash like this:

And while Byron’s York’s advice about waiting a week or two before deciding if the bounce in the polls is permanent this entire farce, while playing well in deep blue states and liberal bubbles on twitter seems to make the “too big to rig” result a real possibility.

At least one Democrat has noticed and given the Governor of New York some excellent advice:

In terms of the election it’s the best advice the Democrats will get. Not only would a Trump pardon mitigate a lot of the outrage in place and perhaps slow down the flow of cash to the Trump campaign such a pardon would have some excellent legal side effects.

You see once the Trump cases reaches an appeals court that is not populated by elected judges who have to face deep blue votes like the ones who replied to Mr. Phillips tweet it will not only be thrown out but very likely toss out with prejudice. In short it would negate the whole effect of influencing low information voters that the entire case was about. The last thing the left wants is a headline before the election quoting judges saying Trump trial was unfair or decided wrongly.

However a pardon gives NY State judges an out. While Trump’s lawyers are still sure to appeal the convictions based on the errors the justices can declare the case moot due to the pardon rather than ruling on the merits which a lot of them really would rather not do.

Alas however as much as many Democrats might realize this is the best out for the party nobody is going to convince a sitting governor who will be facing a deep blue electorate who have been promised blood for almost a decade to invite the wrath of said voters for the sake of Joe Biden and the national party.

Unless they have something really big to hold over Hochul’s head it just isn’t going to happen.

The impact of Trump’s conviction?

Unlike the media’s ‘experts, ‘ I am in a state of uncertainty, unable to predict how Trump’s conviction in New York will affect the November elections.

The only negative influence on Trump would be if he were sent to prison. That would eliminate his ability to use his effective campaign style to convince voters of his ability to handle the job.

Already, some polls state that conviction will play a limited role in the presidential outcome. But, of course, these are polls months before the actual vote and, therefore, are meaningless.

As one sage told me many years ago: “The only poll that counts is what happens when people go to the ballot box.”

What I do know is that the election will be decided on a variety of issues: the economy, immigration, abortion, and the apparent weakness of the United States in international matters, such as Afghanistan, Israel, and Ukraine.

The issue will fall flat if the Biden campaign focuses on Trump’s conviction.

Moreover, the election’s outcome will be heavily influenced by the usual key states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and a few others. The sway of local issues and the uncertainty surrounding Robert Kennedy’s third-party candidacy could potentially tip the scales in favor of either Biden or Trump.

It’s challenging to gauge Kennedy’s strength other than as a protest vote against the major parties. Only George Wallace and Ross Perot made significant inroads in the presidential election.

The media will continue to focus on Trump’s conviction and the faults they see in his personality. However, the media’s influence in presidential elections has declined significantly in the past decade.

The Libertarian Party went totally woke and that is good news for Trump

I have never been a fan of the Libertarian Party.  Actually, I rather despise them.  They give true Libertarians like myself a bad name.  Most of the Libertarian Party’s platform is asinine, having very little to do with actual liberty.  Only a small percentage of the membership are true Libertarians. The rest only identify as Libertarians because the think that word sounds cool.

This past week Donald Trump spoke at this year’s Libertarian Pary convention, hoping to possibly garner their endorsement.  A sizable percentage of those in attendance behaved rather childishly, they booed and raised a ruckus with kazoos that were passed out by convention organizers.  That was nothing compared to the immaturity the membership demonstrated when they chose their nominee.

For decades, the Libertarian Party was the edgier conscience of the Republican Party. It was louder and prouder about wanting a small government rather than the behemoth that Republicans helped birth.  However, libertarians still recognized that smaller government must be grounded in the Constitution and morality. For example, Ron Paul’s pro-life stance reflected the fact that constitutional liberty starts with the first spark of life. This year, however, the Libertarian Party abandoned the Constitution and nominated a presidential candidate indistinguishable from the most radical people in Biden’s base. That’s good for Trump.

There has often been animosity between Conservatives and Libertarians.  Here is one of the primary reasons.

Frankly, most people really don’t think about the Libertarian Party. Depending on their political orientation, they either resent or celebrate it when the 2-3% of votes it gets in every election harm a Republican candidate in a close race.

This election I believe the Libertarian presidential candidate will steal more votes from Biden than Trump for this reason:

Now, the Libertarian Party has gone even further down the path to irrelevance because of its chosen presidential candidate, a guy named Chase Oliver. Oliver is essentially a rehashed far-left Democrat. Indeed, he was once a Barack Obama supporter. He is gay, pro-trans, pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-drugs, and pro-Hamas. However, he’s all in for big government when it comes to masks, vaxes, and lockdowns.

In other words, Oliver is indistinguishable from any other member of the Democrat party. He’s not supporting a small, moral, pro-American government; he’s just a radical leftist who’s found a welcoming new niche.

This article documents the radical positions held by Mr. Oliver.  I read thru the article and came to the conclusion that he is fine with all forms of tyranny as long as the tyranny is perpetrated by private groups rather than by governments.  This includes forced masking by businesses and liberal mob rule in the form of transgender ideology.

The Babylon Bee wrote a perfect satire article summing up this farce.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Libertarian Party has concluded its convention and nominated its latest presidential candidate: a 20-foot-tall, rainbow-colored, glass bong.

The gay, oversized marijuana smoking device edged out candidates RFK Jr., Donald Trump, and Sparklepaws the Transgender Furry to secure the coveted nomination to run for President this November.

The One Card in Trumps Favor

Posted: May 29, 2024 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Stan: Damn it Vinny! Maybe if you put up some kind of a fight, you could’ve had the case thrown out

Vincent Gambini: Stan, you’re in Ala-fuckin’-bama. You come from New York. You killed a good ole boy. There’s just no way this isn’t going to trial

My Cousin Vinny 1992

The closing arguments in the NYC Trump trial are taking place and despite the opinions of Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz as to the quality of the case against President Trump and the credibility of the witnesses for the prosecution I have to agree with Stacy McCain that the fix is about as in as it gets:

Understand that 86% of voters in Manhattan voted for Joe Biden in 2020. There are no honest people on that jury. They know full well why they are there, and what is expected of them. This “trial” has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with revenge — Trump beat Hillary in 2016, and Democrats cannot forgive him for that.

Do not be distracted by this chatter from the media about the “question” of whether Michael Cohen’s credibility has been damaged. It doesn’t matter. This jury will vote to convict, no matter what.

There is however one wild card that is in Trump favor. The fear card.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean the Juror’s being afraid for their lives. I mean the fear of what the result of the guilty verdict might be on election 2024.

You might recall that as President, Donald Trump gave black Americans a break and many emphasize with the idea of a justice system out to get them (an idea that Democrats have drilled into their heads btw) and furthermore a lot of Hispanic voters who came from South America to escape the kind of crooked justice being practiced in that court.

or as Scott Adams has put it

Quite a few Democrats are beginning to suspect that this is the case and if a juror or two comes to the same conclusion then all bets are off.

That fear might change the dynamic, but then again the fear of electing Trump might not be larger than the fear of a backlash from people they know for daring to let him go.

I don’t see how you overcome that social pressure.

All of it is like watching an old movie with a sad ending that you’ve seen many times and wished it ended differently.
