Was This What the Righties Wanted All Along?

by Goldy — Thursday, 10/9/25, 1:24 pm

I sometimes think back to my 20-year-old arguments with the local righties at (un)Sound Politics (by far the dominant political blog in WA state before HA kicked its ass), and I wonder: Is this what they wanted?

Screenshot of tweet describing our slide into fascism.

I mean, hey, Stefan and company, they won. Republicans control the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court, and they are using that power to prosecute political enemies, kidnap immigrants (and immigrant-looking citizens if they choose to), send troops into peaceful cities, and threaten the arrest of Democrats who oppose them. Republicans are in the process of establishing a one-party authoritarian state.

So I kinda wish my old rivals were still around so that I could ask them if they are feeling any regrets about their contributions to the GOPer cause? Or is destroying the Constitution okay with them as long as they own the libs?

    Hmmmm. None whatsoever..

    Or is destroying the Constitution okay with them as long as they own the libs?

    Why it took so long for this reality to set in is remarkable.

    I told my neighbors the day after the election and my nephew before the election that this is the plan.

    What part of Dictator (Nazi) don’t we understand.

    One would think (((Goldy))) would have something to say about this:
    Opinion
    Editorial Board

    Donald Trump and peace in the Mideast
    This Gaza peace plan may actually hold. The president’s unorthodox deal-making style deserves credit.

    The announcement that Israel and Hamas have agreed to President Donald Trump’s plan to end the two-year war in Gaza could be the biggest diplomatic achievement of his second term. Indeed, if the deal holds, Trump can legitimately bolster his claim to be a peacemaker worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.

    But not this year. This year the Nobel committee has decided to award the Peace Prize a second time to Barack Obama.

  7. Vicious Troll spews:

    Thursday, 10/9/25 at 5:08 pm

    Donald Trump cannot receive the Nobel Peace Prize because Hamas will nearly immediately violate the terms of the ceasefire agreement it has signed, and therefore there will be no peace.

    Which will, of course, be entirely Israel’s fault.

  8. lmao spews:

    Thursday, 10/9/25 at 6:38 pm

    Hamas will

    never agree to disarm. Armed resistance to occupation is legal under international law.

    entirely Israel’s fault.

    Israel supported Hamas when it needed Hamas. Like the United States at one time supported occupation resistance fighters like Osama bin Laden or adversary antagonists like Saddam Hussein.

  9. G spews:

    Thursday, 10/9/25 at 6:44 pm

    I’m sure whatever deal was made that Israel will not hold up to their end, and Donnie’s negotiations arent honest.

    Once the hostages are released they’ll be fighting again.

    What happen to your FINISH THEM stance? You like peace now? You’re scum.

    Dang watching Cubs vs. Brewers at Wrigley.

    Place is packed. Fans are screaming.

    No doubt because all those fans are scared to death of the “violent criminals” orange pants shitting dear leader is saving them from with a military occupation.

    “Violent criminals” like a mom picking her kid up from school – looks too Hispanic.. err.. violent.

    It’s pretty far beyond dispute by now that the lawfare campaign against Trump was both a huge electoral failure & a disaster for American civics.

    You are unhappy because your side went to far, couldn’t get it done, and you now realize that your only tool between now and 2033 is violence.

    But you had fun convicting Donald Trump, didn’t you? Focus on the memories, Goldy. They may help you.

    This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

    We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.

    I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

    Been following this bill, California SB79, which would reform zoning rules that prevent more housing to be built around transit stations. It faced opposition from NIMBY groups and Labor Unions, but still passed the Assembly. Newsom was under pressure to veto it, but he just signed it. The Palisades Fire was even being used by opponents, even though LACMTA doesn’t have any plans for qualifying service in that area in the near future.

    Clinton probably would have extended long term, unrestricted security committments to Israel in the hundreds of billions of SillyTroll Taxdollars if she thought it could win her the election.

    And she’d be just as butt hurt as Fat Hitler when it didn’t.

    But the huge reductions in Section 8 voucher programs needed to pay for those security committments wouldn’t have mattered to her as much as they matter to the Actual Nazi Fucktard.

    Seeing the comments on Social Media freaking out about what amounts to Qatar have a training detachment at Mountain Home for the F-15s they bought. Doesn’t seem to sinister, Qatar has bought Strike Eagles, MHAFB home to the 366th FW seems like the right place. Singapore has a detachment there.

    Many countries on FMS have training detachments in the US. Luke AFB in Arizona is an example. There is also the Luftwaffe unit in Texas, and wouldn’t be surprised if the Growler was sold overseas, foreign pilots would be training at Whidbey, as the Fleet Replacement Squadron, VAQ-129 Is based there.
