Trumping Boner

"... ousting Boehner"

So far I've pretty much ignored the 2015 Whack-a-Mole campaign season.  Try as I might, I just cannot concoct a believable scenario where Jimmy Stewart is elected president after Air Force General James Mattoon Scott ousts the Manchurian candiate president, and throws the lot down a volcano.  Only Donald Trump makes noise that interests me, and because he's thus scared the crap out of entrenched Republicans there seems to be a chance of removing some of the party's colon cancer (Boehner Blastoma). To wit: Nonetheless, the members I have spoken with suddenly see Trump as useful. Much of Trump’s support comes from voter anger at repeated Republican betrayals in Washington. The grievances of Trump voters participating in the Republican primary process echo the grievances of most conservatives, but are louder. As Jeb Bush falters in the polling, ousting Boehner is another way to help mitigate the rise of Trump’s campaign. While McConnell cannot be touched because of a lack of “motion to vacate the chair” in the Senate, tossing Boehner, some speculate, would be a strong signal that Republicans are getting their act together to fight as conservatives. Said one mid-western Congressman to me, “Donald Trump is giving us another avenue to sell members on tossing Boehner. Suddenly, knowing what might come otherwise, the Speaker is expendable.”  [Full] True, Sarcoma McConnell cells will survive (a trip to Lourds may be necessary), but it's a start.

Bombs Over Tokyo, etc.

WAR

I've touched on this before, but I'm rankled again. In our nation's history, approx14,300,000 Americans have served during wartime, with approx 2,800,000 of them being killed or wounded.  I was a student at UM when Jack Kennedy announced on television details of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Three of us jumped into my car and drove to Baltimore to enlist.  Just like that.  Alas, recruiting stations were closed at 9 PM,  so we went to the Block and saw some strippers instead, but the point is made.  I imagine that over the years quite a few Americans  felt the same call to action.  That's raw patriotism.   Not all ran to enlist at first bugle of course.  My own father, and step father, were both drafted.  Dad took a Nazi mortar shell directly; my step dad a sniper's bullet, but he survived.  I think if you asked all 14 million who served in wartime why they were fighting, all would have answered,  in some fashion, "to protect our country from the rat bastards trying to destroy it."  That includes both armies in the War of Rebellion, rat bastards being a relative thing.  If you further asked them to be more specific, the answers could I think be distilled down "to protect our freedom."  For the past 50 years some Americans who share ideologies copacetic with what King George, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Japs, the Communists, and radical Islamos had in mind for us (total subjugation)  have increasingly gained control of our ship of state's machinery.  There is not a lick of difference between today's Democrat Party and the Communist Party, USA of the 1950s.  None.  To wit: the CPUSA fielded a candidate in every U.S.  presidential election from 1925 until 1988—when they began just endorsing the Democrat candidate.  For the same reason then that I hate Communism, I hate today's elected Democrats, and the useful idiots who serve them.  They are deceitful and focused liars, the lot. And endorsed by the CPUSA. All to bring me to this point.  If you, like me, see us engaged in an ideological war for the very soul of the United States, then what, pray tell, are the differences between this struggle and being in a frozen foxhole in 1951 Korea?  Most everyone in this forum have already enlisted, and wear the uniform proudly.   Our common goal: Destroy the uniformed Obamunist enemy.  But, more hateful—in any war—are those who wear our uniform, infiltrate our lines, and  sabotage from within.  So heinous a crime that international rules of war allow the summarily execution of them when captured. The GOP’s War On Obama’s Executive Action Lasted About 5 Minutes Two Words.  Boehnor; Ilk    The greatest penalty, indeed a political death penalty for that lot, is being stripped of any leadership role by the GOP caucus.  And  replaced with those who understand that we are in a war for our survival. Boehnor must be replaced.  If the Republican caucus have a sense of duty, he will be, in January if not today.

Jr.  Niece: 'Moral Bankruptcy' Ruling Government Under Obama Obama Hits the Links Good News.  However, if the new congress lacks sufficient conservatives to oust Boner and  McConnell,  and are thus unable to  begin a serious, and radical  Obamectomy —well— ; we know how that book ends. Don't we?

Exposed: Why Boehner And The GOP Want To Kill The Tea Party… What is now called the Tea Party began in 2007 as a loosely-organized yet highly-motivated grassroots  support effort for Congressman Ron Paul’s bid for the  White House. Since those early days, a lot has happened  to the Tea Party. “ Republican leaders such as John Boehner, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Peter King, etc. have made it one of their missions in life to defeat Republican Tea Party candidates–even if those candidates are incumbents. This is for good reason: the establishment Republican Party is diametrically opposed to the goals and principles of the Tea Party. Based on the positions of most Tea Party candidates (which is all we have to go on as the Tea Party is not a real political party but only a grassroots activist effort being conducted mainly within the Republican Party), the goals and objectives of the Tea Party can be summarized generally as follows: *They support a non-interventionist foreign policy. *They support the Constitution and recognize the current attacks against the Constitution, especially against the Second, Fourth, and Tenth Amendments. *They oppose the NSA spying on the American citizenry (including the use of drones for such purposes). *They oppose the Patriot Act and the militarization of the Department of Homeland Security as well as local and State law enforcement agencies. *They oppose the Import-Export Bank. *They oppose the Federal Reserve Bank. *They oppose CISPA. *They oppose the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA. *They support ending the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). *They support limited government spending–especially at the federal level. One can easily see that many, if not most, of these goals and objectives are diametrically opposite the goals and objectives of the establishment Republican machine. And more than anything else, the Republican leadership in Washington, D.C. wants GOP congressmen and senators to be “team players.” Of course, by “team players,” they mean good little Republican robots that will not buck party leadership. Read more at http://www.westernjournalism.com/boehner.blows Karl Rove has repeatedly lambasted Justin Amash. House Speaker Boehner has spearheaded well-financed opposition to Amash’s reelection campaign this year. Senator John McCain (the GOP standard bearer in 2008) recently called Amash, Paul, and Cruz “wacko birds.” Huh? I feel like I just read an account of how I met my wife that began: "He met his wife MoSup—a Korean/Navajo Peta activist—during an elephant hunt on the Serengeti in 2001.   The  part about me being married is right.  The WJC  author did get the GOP/Tea Party animus right, if not it's founding.  Libertaian Ron Paul may have aligned with the Tea Party, but I'll bet money that 8 of 10 self-identified Teapartiers (I am one) don't give squat about thoseWJC listed (Libertarian) objectives, save for the the Second, Fourth, Tenth (and First) Amendments thing  and  spending limits.   Now,  Sarah Palin's someone who knows a Teapartier when she sees one, and she knows how to punch. If Chris McDaniel defeats six-term incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi, it will be in no small part due to Sarah's  influence. ”

Mexican Invaders “ The Dog That Didn't Bark (El perro que no ladró) In the short story “Silver Blaze” there’s the following exchange between Sherlock Holmes and a Scotland Yard detective: Gregory : “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?” Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.” Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.” Holmes: “That was the curious incident.” In other words, the guard dog didn’t bark because he was friendly with the culprit. [Corner] What’s more, Obama didn’t single out for recognition any of the illegal aliens invited by the White House and Democratic congressmen to attend. Given that amnestying the illegal population and hugely increasing future legal immigration is Obama’s chief second-term policy objective, this reticence may seem like a curious incident. But he didn’t bark because he’s in league with the House Republican leadership to trick their rank-and-file members into saving his presidency. Ted Kennedy’s former immigration staffer, now on the White House staff, is working closely with McCain’s former immigration staffer, now on Boehner’s staff, to get the functional equivalent of the Schumer-Rubio bill through the House. And it’s not just Boehner, of course; as the National Immigration Forum tweeted, “@RepPaulRyan among first to stand up and applaud when Obama said it’s time to fix broken #immigration system.” Raising a ruckus last night ran the risk of further complicating Boehner’s attempted snow job starting today at the GOP retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. [The Corner] I think they call this being "caught in a cross-fire." ”

A Trojan Boner

As seen ROLLOVER no SURPRISE!

REVOLT

"Peace in our Time" Boner “ Has there been a House speaker in modern American history with less control over his members than John Boehner? [WaPost] Boehnor stripped  Reps. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., and Justin Amash, R-Mich of their seats on the House Budget Committee because they wouldn't play ball  with  the "cave-men."  There's your new leadership. ”

Boner's been so successful too,

“ Because, Doggone-It! Sometimes they just like horror ... or are addicted to failure ”

The Plot to Oust John Boehner

A Bad Boner in the Making?

Holder tries to cut Fast and Furious deal with Boner “ The Department of Justice told Republican House leadership in a Tuesday letter that it hopes to reach an agreement with congressional overseers on how much information about Operation Fast and Furious it is required to hand over. Congressional Republicans have threatened to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for not fully complying with a 22-part subpoena served last October. The letter comes amid reports that House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa has obtained evidence proving that senior Justice Department officials approved Operation Fast and Furious gunwalking tactics. The Justice Department letter was in response to a request Speaker of the House John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy and Issa sent in mid-May. “Following the receipt of your letter, the department has had a number of constructive conversations with staff aimed at satisfying the legitimate goals of congressional oversight while, at the same time, ensuring the integrity and independence of the department’s law enforcement efforts,” Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote to those congressional leaders on Tuesday afternoon. Holder and the DOJ, he added, think the GOP leadership’s May 18 letter “was a helpful step toward reaching a resolution of the issues in dispute.” Reminds me of when the Marines were ordered to negotiate with Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr when they had him on the ropes in Fallujah .  Then had to go back and do it again.  If the French are surrender monkeys, and they are, the the GOP are Bozo the Clown. ”

Is Boner this stooopid?

"We have met the enemy and it is the GOP" Republican leaders have already decided to close down the Fast and Furious investigation ... “ ... according to the man who broke the “Gunwalker” story a year and a half ago,  Sources in Washington, DC have told him (blogger and citizen reporter Mike Vanderboegh) that Republican leaders have already decided to close down the Fast and Furious investigation and halt contempt proceedings against Eric Holder, because “they (the GOP leadership) don’t think that they will suffer for [that] failure to follow through. They’re scared of Holder’s race card. . . they’re scared of Trayvon. They think if they let Issa fail, that it will only be a story in the blogosphere for a day . . . that they can weather it. . . .” Unfortunately, Vanderboegh makes it clear that he trusts the word of these sources “implicitly.” [Western Center for Journalism] I am not going to believe it.  Not until I hear it from a reliable source.  Not even John Boner, and he is a poseur on a level with Obama,  not even he could be that brazen, and that stupid.  If it is true,  the fallout could ignite a TeaParty jungle clearing mob response (good), or douse all fervor for the upcoming election.  UPDATE - Now there's this: Walmart Caves to Van Jones, Drops ALEC Support ”

The Team of Boner, McConnel & Reid

Greetings from the  Firm of Boner, McConnell & Reid

“ The House ostensibly would agree to this new bill by "unanimous consent," meaning House Republican leadership would have pre-cleared this with all members. Failing to get unanimous consent would doom it. The tradeoff from Democrats in the Senate: Majority Leader Harry Reid would appoint conferees so they could have a genuine conference committee between the House and Senate to negotiate differences. [Ho Ho Ho (That's three Hos)] So, in return for giving Senate Democrats what they wanted, the Democrat Senate Majority get to appoint negotiators who will engineer a deal to last the full year.  Or am I rum groggy?  This looks like an instant replay of  August's Debt Ceiling I, where Republicans caved  and raised the debt limit to some point in a  distant galaxy.  Remember? In return for giving Democrats what they demanded, a "Commission" dominated by the freakiest Democrat senators would rule on future spending.  The absence of a compromise agreement (duh) would trigger $1.2 trillion in spending cuts spread over 10 years, split equally between defense and spending.Democrats don't care about.  Remember?  Come on Mayan calender!  Please be quicker than this slow death, ”

Then Cut His Balls Off ...

John Boehner at the Wheel where he belongs

John Boehner Dedicated to Helping Super Committee Succeed Speaker John Boehner doubled down today on the need for the Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction to come to a deal, saying he’ll do everything he can to help its members “reach a successful outcome.” “It has to work, and I am committed to ensuring that it works,” the Ohio Republican said on ABC’s “This Week.” [Full Roll Call] ” “It has to work ...?"  The only way this clandestine Super Committee abortion can work is to give Democrats what they wanted in the first place.  More spending, with any real budget cuts coming out of the DOD's hide.  God save us from Democrats and their handmaidens.

Barry's Boner?

Barry's Boner? President Barack Obama needs House Speaker John Boehner’s help to muscle a jobs bill through Congress, but he’s betting that Boehner needs the win just as badly.

“ Politico ” Well, that's how it's always worked before ....

Alan West: caved because Wasserman was effective in saying he would destroy Medicare.  Paul Ryan.  PAUL RYAN!!?  Anyway, the teapartiers held their ground and denied Boehner his vote.  I'll guarantee you that this segment by Rush today is what cost him the 217 votes he needed. You may not agree with Rush's analysis, but after listening to this you'll at least be the best informed kid at the water cooler tomorrow.
