Your Broken Laptop Political Post for 9/6/20

We'll do some creative stuff in another post.

Andy Ngo chronicles Antifa's 100 day celebration through residential Portland last night. Antifa wants Ngo dead, and has stated so publicly. One day, how he gets out there night after night to cover the story will be a great story. Slowly the riots spread. Eugene, Rochester, NYC, Seattle...As Walt Kowalski would say, it's gonna get real fuckin' ugly. Angkor counted on controlling the riots. Angkor counted wrong.

Nancy Pelosi, what can we say? Blow this, you denture chomping hag.

As we expected, Angkor's bit of cemetery fan-fic is backfiring. This is just an excuse for Trump to roll out all the vets who support him. This scheme is exactly like the Access Hollywood tapes four years ago, and we're astonished Angkor is trying it again. Do they learn nothing?

Meanwhile, Powerline has the latest Trump ad. That's a full on arclight strike for which Hidin' Joe Biden has no response. Just imagine what October will look like. No GOP has been this relentlessly brutal since 1988, and that's what this election will look like. Mr. We could use a man like Lee Atwater again...

Here in NJ07, Tom Kean Jr is finally running attack ads against Tom Malinowski. They're good, can't find a link. We may yet vote for the former governor's son. Malinowski is running these, 'We don't always agree but you'll always know where I stand,' ads, so we guess is internal poll numbers aren't looking good. We can't help but like the man.

Biden was the Bomb

PJM liveblogged Biden's speech. 

Last night we watched The Big Bang Theory. We're amazed that a lot of people think it's a dumb, middlebrow show with cheep jokes. We find it quite smart.

[I bet you do-Ed].

As for assessments of the speech, wait a few days.

The brilliance of Trump buying the WaPo masthead is that it made libs in the media freak out and draw even more attention to it. The buy also shows that the WaPo is run by whores who will do anything if you pay them enough money. How is it remotely appropriate for a supposedly independent newspaper to run political advertising? 

Whores. Skank, skeezy, whores.

And checkout the Trump ads running on the YouTube masthead. Not since 1988 has any GOP run anything that tough and hard hitting. Not Mitt, not McCain, not W., not that old guy from 1996.  Mr. we could use a man like Lee Atwater again. Younger reader(s) we urge you to click that link. Click it! That is some vintage Cold War political advertising, when the GOP one five of six elections.

Brutal.

Usually a convention gives a presidential candidate a bounce in the polls. Trump is at 51% in the Rasmussen and tied in Minnesota, which means he's really ahead in Minnesota. There's been a convention bounce alright.

Here in NJ07, D incumbent Tom Malinowski and R challenger Tom Kean Jr are having a contest to see who can run the best soft focus, Mr. Nice Guy ads. So far Kean looks like a wimp. Just like his dad when he chaired the 9/11 Commission. We might just vote for Malinowski. We like him well enough and he seems sane, something the party of Ms. Venezuela and Somalia's Finest desperately needs. At some point Malinowski is go to call you a Nazi, Senator. Whatchu gonna do about it?

We put down JFC Fuller's Grant book. He wasn't telling us anything we didn't already know. God almighty, it's awful. And to think we read all we could by this guy when we first got into military history 25 years ago. At one point A Military History of the Western World was our Baghavad Gita. And so we switched to Lee's Last Campaign...so far beautifully written, a real tribute without being sentimental. We're learning a lot.

7-5-19 in New Jersey

As we have said before, Governor Phil Murphy is setting the stage for a presidential run in 2024:

Gov. Phil Murphy marked the July 4 holiday Thursday by announcing New Jersey’s government would once again oversee resettling refugees in the state, three years after former Gov. Chris Christie ended the practice.

The Democratic governor also signed an executive order to create a state Office of New Americans to help immigrants and refugees resettle here.

Murphy cast the moves as his latest broadside against Republican President Donald Trump’s administration.

“While the federal government takes action that prevents immigrants from seeking the American Dream, New Jersey will fight for our brothers and sisters and stand against the hatred and bigotry coming from Washington,” Murphy, a frequent Trump critic, said in a statement.

That's first rate virtue signaling. 

Wonder where the refugees will end up. Probbaly Newark. Murphy will know better than to piss off subrubanite Dems by dumping a bunch of Central Americans in their midst.

Actually, we're all for placing these people in Camden. They can't do worse.

This blog earnestly hopes State Senate Leader Steve Sweeney runs in 2021.

Sweeney! Sweeney! 

When Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean beats our own Tom Malinowski in next years NJ-07 Congressional election, he'll be in great shape for a run at Trenton in 2021.
