Blue Wave II: Banzai Pipeline

By mike flugennockThursday - May 3rd, 2018Categories: elections, media, Middle East, Party Animals, Russiagate, Trumpism

Well, the latest news from the “Blue Wave” midterm election scene actually isn’t looking that good for the Democrats. Despite a Reuters poll showing a 9% drop in Milennials’ support for the Democrats and – on top of that – the Chump Schumer DACA sellout, the Doug Jones disaster, their support for a massive war budget and the bombing of Syria, their continued support for Saudi brutality in Yemen and Israeli barbarity in Gaza, the collapse of the Russiagate freakshow and the whole Joy Reid hot mess, the Democrats are still acting all cocky and talking smack about a “Blue Wave” this November that will supposedly flood the House of Representatives with new and better Democrats.

Uh huh. I’ll go heat up the Jiffy-Pop.

Blue Wave

By mike flugennockWednesday - April 4th, 2018Categories: elections, media, Party Animals

From all the howling in the MSM these days, you’d think they were expecting not just a “Blue Wave”, but a “Blue Tsunami” — except the numbers say they’ll be lucky to get a “Blue Ripple”, and in Texas right now it’s looking more like a “Blue Tidepool”, pitting a bland corporate-looking white-boy Democrat against an incumbent whose head is sculpted entirely of suet pudding.

This on top of the fact that on social media, the Democratic Party politburo, trolls and fangirls are going with the formula that worked so well for them last time:

• Run a bland, donor class-approved corporate Centrist.
• Threaten and shame Left voters.
• Gaslight, insult, and lie to Left voters.
• Bully and smear Left electoral challengers.
• Hope the GOP candidate is revealed to be a pedophile.

Cowabunga, dudes.

The Distrust, It BUUURRRNNNSS

For something that’s supposed to be a such a big ol’ hot, sloppy bucket of nothing, the infamous Nunes Memo sure has the Democrats screeching about how it’s sowing “distrust” of institutions like the FBI. Yep, Liberals love them some FBI now, just like ol’ Phil Ochs said — 10 degrees to the left of center when things are good, 10 degrees to the right when it affects them personally.

Now, as someone who’s been involved in Left activism and activist media for nearly 40 years and knows the FBI’s history of disrupting and suppressing popular movements, I can tell you for free that I don’t need some babbling memo from a GOP Congresscritter to make me fervently distrust the goddamn FBI. Really, folks, let’s get serious, here. They have a history.

Between this drooling love for the State and feverishly trying to rehabilitate George W. Bush, I’d say the Democrats are pretty well cracked.

#Yippie50

“This is a personal statement. There are no spokesmen for the Yippies. We suggest to all reporters that they ask each and every Yippie in Lincoln Park why they have come to Chicago. We are all our own leaders. We realize this list of demands is inconclusive, they are not really demands. For people to make demands of the Democratic Party is an exercise in wasted wish-fulfillment. If we have a demand, it is simply and emphatically that they, along with their fellow inmates in the Republican Party, cease to exist. We demand a society built along the alternative community in Lincoln Park, a society based on humanitarian cooperation and equality, a society which allows and promotes the creativity present in all people and especially our youth.” – A. Yippie

For those of you “in the know”, I don’t have to explain the big anniversary coming up this summer.

For those of you who aren’t, here’s a quick introduction:
