Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ted, you’re not supposed to say that out loud. – California Rep. Ted Lieu is one of the most execrable members of congress. In addition to the mere fact of being a Democrat, Lieu joins Maxine Waters in combining the worst combination of character traits any human being can possess: Overwhelming arrogance mixed with massive stupidity.
On Wednesday, these traits led Lieu to let one of the many Democrat unspoken cats out of the bag on national television, telling CNN’s vapid host Brianna Keiller the following:
“I would love if I could have more than five minutes to question witnesses. Unfortunately, I don’t get that opportunity. However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that’s simply a function of the First Amendment”.
Yes, friends, in case you weren’t already aware of it, your Democrat friends want to regulate what you can and cannot say, and in fact are already well along the way to doing that in social media and our nation’s college campuses. They aren’t supposed to talk about it publicly, but every once in a while one of their dumber colleagues, like Lieu, slips up. There you go.
Speaking of Democrats… – If you still doubt that the participants in the “migrant caravan” assembled down in Tijuana would become Democrats if they ever manage to enter the United States, Tuesday should have locked the case up for you.
That was the day that several hundred of them staged two separate “marches” to the U.S. Consulate in that Mexican city, and upon arrival demanded that they either be allowed into the United States, or that they be paid $50,000 each – by American taxpayers – to return to their home country. I swear I do not make this stuff up.
So, not only do they want to come into America where most of them plan to become wards of the state, they now want to be paid reparations for their stupid decision to leave their home countries. Literally, the perfect Democrat voter mindset.
And now you know why Democrat Party leaders are so desperate to preserve our failed immigration laws.
A real Texas Hispanic challenges Beto Mania. – Figuring I suppose that hey, if a a good-looking young white Texas guy pretending to be an Hispanic can run for president with no visible qualifications for the job, why can’t a real Hispanic Texan do the same, San Antonio’s Julian Castro announced on Wednesday he is forming an exploration committee in preparation to run for the presidency in 2020.
He’s a virtual clone of Irish Bob O’Rourke: Young, good-looking, good speaker, looks good on television, great at reciting approved talking points to the media, all the qualifications anyone apparently needs anymore to run for the Democrat nomination. Unlike Irish Bob, though, Castro actually is Hispanic. He also has some apparent actual qualifications for the job, being a former successful mayor of a major city (San Antonio) and having served as HUD Secretary for a few years during the Obama Administration.
Also unlike Irish Bob, though, Castro has not demonstrated the ability to excite the Democrat masses or raise tens of millions of dollars from wealthy leftists in Hollywood and New York. That is, of course, part of what his “exploratory committee” will be exploring in the coming weeks, because Castro, unlike Irish Bob, is not married to a billionaire, and won’t be able to largely self-fund his primary race if need be.
Ocasio Cortez Update!:
David Blackmon @GDBlackmon Yyyyyeeaaaahhhhh, no.: Vox: We should change the Constitution so Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can run for president https://hotair.com/archives/2018/12/12/vox-change-constitution-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-can-run-president/ …

Vox: We should change the constitution so Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can run for president "...she’s an honest-to-goodness political superstar"
hotair.com See David Blackmon's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Yes, friends, Matthew Yglesias, writing at leftist activist site Vox.com, wants you to agree to change the constitution so that the femme fatal from Queens – who he calls “the biggest star in the Democratic Party” – could run for the presidency in 2020, when she will be all of 30 years of age.
Oh, but it gets better.
Yglesias doesn’t want to just lower the age for running for the presidency, he want to eliminate all restrictions on the right to run. In Matty’s brave new world, any “registered voter” – which would include all those illegal immigrant who are now legally allowed to register to vote in California – would be able to run for the highest office in the land.
Think about the possibilities here: If Emanuel Macron, with his 18% approval rating, wants to transfer his society-destroying magic from France to the New World, he could just fly to San Francisco, register to vote, and instantly become a leading contender for the Democrat Party nomination, given that Democrats have been trying their best to destroy U.S. society since they elected Woodrow Wilson. Teresa May, fresh off of barely surviving her vote of no confidence after royally screwing up the whole Brexit thing, could do the same thing. Hassan Rouhani, the Iranian President to whom Obama and his fellow Democrats were happy to give $150 billion a few years ago, same deal.
Matty Yglesias, who is in fact a leading voice of American progressivism, says, hell, why not?
Your Democrat Party in action.
Breathtaking.
That is all.

According to the ‘RAT “media”, Beto The Big Burrito is the Second Coming.
the democrats are a pathetic embarrassment. what’s more pathetic and embarrassing is the republicans can’t beat them.
Ted Lieu is trying to be white.
That’s nice.
Once the country sees Beto, it could be all over. Beto-mania is like Jimmuh Carter said of “the energy crisis”, it’s real and also incurable.
What’s the problem? We’ve already had an illegal immigrant as a president.
” - - the worst combination of character traits any human being can possess: Overwhelming arrogance mixed with massive stupidity. “
I believe that’s what Rush calls stupid and proud of it. I first ran into this type of person decades ago and was totally confused as it was sort of an oxymoron of personality traits.
The left is now finding this type of person and promoting them into politics. They are the perfect useful idiots as they show deep pleasure and satisfaction in showing the world just how clueless they are. And the media promotes them with the most shining example being Occasional Cortex.
What’s worse is the American voter finds this acceptable enough to elect them into high office.
They are a dangerous mix of ignorance and arrogance.
Hillary and Obama were/are glaring examples.
Neither of them have/had the required experience to even run a small business let alone the office of the Presidency.
Beto and occasional cortex are just he next generation.
"...acceptable enough to elect them into high office..."
And that right there friends is exactly why freedom of speech was and is #1 in the Bill of Rights.
These are precisely the kinds of actual - real-world not made up exaggerated or imagined - fascist powers and controls the leftist "liberals" desire.
While preaching diversity and acceptance, they practice demanding conformity and trying to quash dissent. The National Socialists from 1930s Europe would be proud of them, feel right at home with them.
It's not that they can't.
They need to put their foot down hard about vote fraud and they won't/don't.
Our elected officials are betraying us by not adhering to the rule of law.
Let them keep talking.
If a conservative had said “This is what he really wants” then that conservative would have been ridiculed, accused of exaggeration, projection, and so forth.
I pray their mouths continue to open and truths they did not intend to express continue to flow right out.
Open Borders Beto would only be the second coming of Arnold ... just (as typical of these 5th Column Leftist) without the earlier valor to ameliorate the backstabbing.
Good point. And AOC was a bartender a few months ago.
I don’t know.
There are a lot of big business moguls that are democrat and support even the looniest of leftist ideologies.
No, she put her vagina in service to herself.
