Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
There’s something so satisfying about seeing liberals in a sissy slap fight with other liberals – you just want to grab up a bowl of popcorn, pop some frosty brews, and egg them on. The good news is that there’s going to be more of this coming because of the nature of the Democrat coalition – it is less an ideological alliance than a bunch of interest groups united by their shared perception that the GOP is against what is in their respective interests. When their interests collide, which they will necessarily do, then the fun begins.
Look at Washington, where the caucus kept in line by the Scat Francisco dominatrix is falling apart before our eyes. Remember Bart Stupak? No, he’s not some Reno Buick dealer. He’s nobody anymore, and he’s nobody anymore because he listened to Nancy Pelosi a bit over a decade ago and voted for Obamacare even though his congressional district was not down with the sickness. As a result, in 2010, the Republicans took the socialized medicine votes of “moderate” Dems like Bart Stupak and used them as an electoral suppository. And, not to carry the analogy too far, dozens of moderate Democrats like Bart Stupak were expelled from Congress in figuratively Swalwellian/Nadlarian glory.
No one wants to be 2022’s Bart Stupak, but the inexplicably rich Speaker is still trying to get the nervous swing district Dems to dive on the grenade and vote for the trillions in spending that nobody in their purple districts wants. Safely ensconced in her commie hellhole by the Bay, she’s perfectly willing to let these blue dogs fight to the last drop of their blue blood for her pinko priorities. But this time, they don’t seem quite as willing to commit ritual suicide so the brother-marrying progs don’t have a meltdown as the Stupakers were in 2009.
This means Joe Biden is at grave risk of seeing his entire agenda go down at flames. This does not mean that he is at grave risk of realizing that what he is seeing is his entire agenda going down in flames because he is manifestly senile, but that’s another column.
Just watching Manchin and Sinema mock Schumer, who (as Hugh Hewitt noted) is desperate to ward off a primary challenge from up-talking, irony-free socialista AOC, restores one’s faith in cosmic justice. The libs are furious that Joe Manchin is ruining their party – it’s awesome. And their fussy threats are even more precious. Yeah, someone’s going to successfully primary Manchin from the left in West Virginia, right after the Boy Scouts let the Lincoln Project be honorary jamboree co-sponsors.
That Schumer and Pelosi are not feared like they should be by their own caucus is delightful. Mitch McConnell is feared by his caucus, and rightly so. And he’s playing this masterfully. Yeah, we have our own fights – including Trump’s silly campaign against McConnell, who is indisputably the most effective legislative knife fighter in generations. The guy drives me nuts too – his insurrection whining was stupid and lame – but no one wrecks the Dems’ dreams like the Murder Turtle. He just threw a Baby Ruth bar in the Capitol Hill pool by refusing to help raise the debt ceiling – the Dems have a majority, so it’s their problem. Of course, the Dems don’t want to do it because it looks bad – they want GOP cover. Mitch refuses to provide it, which is chum in the water to another Dem feeding frenzy.
It’s glorious.
Oh, and the Dems want to increase state and local tax deductions in their “infrastructure” bill, which I love – as a blue state lawyer, ka-ching! The Trader Joe’s demo will be psyched – the rest of their coalition, which gets to subsidize coastal elites, not so much. Please, give tax breaks to the rich! This is great on every level.
The border nightmare is fantastic too, except for all the human tragedy. The Dem coalition includes rich limo libs who get the moral preening benefit (and, they hope, the votes) while American minorities pick up the tab. A long-standing Dem town just elected a GOP mayor largely because half of Guatemala is cutting through their county. Larry Elder improved on Trump’s already improved numbers with minorities. And the lib Dems can’t back down and shut off the border spigot – it’s racist!
Also racist – vaccine mandates! According to numbers the lib media refuses to report, the biggest group of vaccine skeptics is not those science-hating Trump people. It’s minorities, who frankly have a really good reason for not trusting government doctors who assure them everything is on the up and up. It doesn’t help when rich jerks at the Emmys or on Martha’s Vineyard party maskless while demanding you gag your kid – or not allow your kid to go to school at all.
So, when the Karen Caucus of libidinally unsatiated cat ladies get their vaccine passport requirements of their dreams, the hardest hit is…minorities! Put that in your Ibram X. Kendi commemorative pipe and smoke it, ladies!
The brawl and resulting BLM protest at the NYC Italian place was only the beginning. We’ll see more and more battles between these elements of the Dem coalition, and we need to do as Mitch does and stay out of it. Let them pummel each other. Let them rip each other apart. Let them fight!

PART 2: FDA Official ‘Blow Dart African Americans’ & Wants ‘Nazi Germany Registry’ for Unvaccinated
“The mass annihilations that will be carried out by homosexual, transsexual, and especially lesbian commissars will exceed in scale and cruelty anything that has yet happened in known history.”
Shootings in the Black areas are already up hugely, don’t think they’ve forgotten Tuskegee, so who’s going to do this darting?
My guess would be the antifa types.
It would be awesome to watch the MSM coverage of the slaughter when these “blackedout” soyboys come across some random gang types. Umbrellas and garbage can shields aren’t particularly good at stopping 9mm rounds.
Statistics show that, while 9 mm rounds can indeed be lethal, our dusky brethren are woefully inept at delivering them to any vital parts.
The fat little wormy soyboy fag is going to personally do the wet work , or so he claims?
They can come round me up, but if I handle a platoon or better by myself, I want a statue. It can be a small one.
They will just tear it down…
I don’t know about all that other crap but Mitch (Ronald) McDonald is a back stabbing scum bag just like the rest of them.
There are two parties….us, against them.
Yes. I can’t believe Kurt is defending him… Chip
Another think Kurt gets wrong is his comment about masks being forced on children at school. At least in my school district the PARENTS want their kids wearing masks! I’m in South Texas and we have friends who are teachers and administrators. Although given the choice to mask or not, over 90% choose masks! And then they want little Johnny, with his face diaper, to be seated away from any unmasked kids! It’s amazing how brain washed these people are. They are literally afraid of their own shadows… Chip
He wants you to buy his books and he gets paid to write articles for Townhall. It’s really that simple.
I went from believing Townhall were the good guys trying to save America to knowing they are trying to do the opposite, over the span of about 20 years.
If he’s trying to make believe the Republicans are actually involved with reducing Democratic influence by doing something positive, it isn’t working on me.
“The Republicans understand that they must keep the milk cow thinking that they love it, so instead of beating it themselves they let the Democrats beat it. They just want to maximize milk and calf production, eat like kings, and then send ole Betsy to the glue factory once she’s no longer good for anything else.
We are the milk cow.”
This ^^^^ . They are false opposition. Always have been. I’m ashamed to say I was duped to vote for GWB and then also thought Trump was somehow different (Operation Warp Speed, out of control spending, bombing of Syria, unwillingness to stand up to the fraud election, all showed me otherwise). Not that it maters buy my voting days are over… Chip
That was an excellent read. I tried to plug it in another comment without success.
I make no defense of the dims. None.
But honestly, are the Republicans a shining paragon of virtue? How many do you trust and are actually acting conservatively? 2 or 3 maybe.
It is time to recognize both parties and the entire federal political system as being rotten to the core.
I’m not an armchair warrior. Instead I would suggest we all withdraw consent.
Primarily financial, but anywhere one can.
God speed.
Dems aren’t all wrong:
Israeli’s have been getting lots of missile attacks from their own government in the form of the Covid jabs… Chip
And everyone on the right also cheered. I hate these traitorous Israel first scumbags. They are stuck in the 90s. The former America is facing the biggest problems it ever has faced and Kevin McCarthy is worried about Israel suffering the consequences of its own terrorist actions.
These people….Ann Coulter just wrote a column about how the vaccine is safe and effective, not apparently having noticed that the CDC director has already said it doesn’t prevent anything, and the body count mounting daily….Apparently she took the shilling…
She’s a loser. She too has been false opposition all along. I’ll gladly put up the credentials of the hundreds of doctors and medical scientists that I’ve listed to against her journalism degree any day… Chip
I will gladly trust the knowledge gained from my own biochemistry degree than a professional shill dyke. She used to say things I liked, when being slightly edgy was good enough.
Never trust a homosexual. This should be obvious.
Yup, they will stick it to you from behind.
Whores don’t need to speak with conviction, they just need paid. He makes the right noises and they throw him a treat. He might even believe it, if there are no immediate social consequences.
Good one.
Political discussions, how quaint .
@hardscrabble – The instant I saw the headline of this article, I thought of the phrase you oft quote – “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Well … we are destroying ourselves!
Boris “i need a comb” Johnson said at the UN yesterday that the world has 40 days to get climate change right, or it will be too late.

Hmmmm…..,just bought a 1980 Chevy g-20 conversion van(4 wheel)built to the hills,I will do my part to make Greta cry and the end of the world!
I burn about 10,000 gallons of Diesel a DAY, while “Raping The Ocean” with our trawl gear…..
God, I love this shit!
Our wifi went out last night so we started watching the latest Survivor show on antenna TV. We knew they were changing things season by season going more marxist. One ugly china woman with a ring through her septum was going on about how her mom accepted her marrying a white woman. The next image was a gay guy talking about his husband back home taking care of their kid and hubby was also a pregnant tranny. That was it for us. And I was just telling my wife that this will be the first survivor show my mom won’t be watching since she died shortly after her second jab last Feb. I’m glad mom didn’t see what we did.
