Rachel Maddow's destruction of the left: zero credibility remains.

Wow.  Talk about an "own goal."

The left remains shell-shocked over what I felt would be the inevitable victory of Donald Trump... and since the basis for leftist thought these days is pure hatred mixed with hypocrisy, we get the kind of insanity exhibited by Rachel Maddow.

Maddow serves as exhibit one:  Take a quick look at her stupidity, pre-election... if you can stomach it.

And then, of course, was the stupidity of Trump's tax returns.

It was a great... albeit false... meme for these leftists.

It was a thing of beauty.

Strategically, it was masterful.  The left was focused on Trump's tax returns like a kitten to a laser pointer.

And it got them nowhere.

But it pulled them completely off message... while simultaneously enabling the fringe-left to continue to do what they do best: engage in rhetorical political assassination since facts are meaningless to their objective... ineffective as it usually is after you've beaten that dead horse into beef jerky.

Politics is like football or even pitching in baseball.

In football, you keep running the same play until the other team figures out a way to stop it.

In baseball, if you keep throwing fastballs, the other team will insist on parking them in the bleachers.

What you DON'T do is continue running the same play that fails over and over.  And while these leftists certainly found this lie to be self-invigorating... just another arrow in their empty quiver of fake arrows... they failed to understand that nobody cared.

In an election of issues, Hillary insisted on doubling down on those issues where the people of this country were in disagreement.

Leftists do that sort of thing.  You need look no farther than the local county council ignoring us... or the local fake Republicans ignoring us... to get a snapshot of Hillary's campaign when it comes to listening... and implementing the will of the people.

Since the leftist meme is built on hate and hypocrisy (Check out the C3G2 hate site on facebook for a prime example) and they are still in shell-shocked disbelief, the dangling of the tax-return was as irresistible as a Twinkie at a fat farm.

And Maddow bit it.

Hard.

Did Trump make that client copy available?

Who knows?

But whoever did it was a political god in the strategic sense.  The plan was brilliantly conceived and finding a tool like Maddow to execute it?

Genius.

It makes the left look idiotic to even the most detached layman.

Maddow has single-handily crippled the left.  And she did it all for the greater glory of Maddow.

You know it's bad when her fellow leftists... who recognize what the same reality... beat her to a pulp for her idiocy.

But it's not just her fault, as stupid as it was to show that Trump paid $38 million in taxes for one year in 2005... it was more stupid that the haters at MSNBC actually let her run with it.

Don't they have any adults there?

Couldn't they see what the outcome was going to be?

Couldn't they wrap their heads around what the impacts would be of releasing these forms... the impacts to their own cause?

They... THEY... provided instant credibility to President Trump, and they did it to the audience that hates Trump the most.

They destroyed the lamestream media's meme that they repeated incessantly concerning the President avoiding paying ANY taxes.

Demobots won't care, of course.  But there aren't nearly enough of them to make a difference.

But left-leaning "independents" that may have a functioning brain synapse have got to be wondering:  What else are they lying to us about?

Because they must know that it can't be limited to just this single issue.  And for those who can actually think... the seed of doubt has been planted.

As expected, the RINOs are sticking it to us. Right, Brent?

Literally for years, I've been hammering the reality that RINOs are the worst of the worst of us politically.

I've been demanding answers as have many of us, as to what the hell the difference is between those slime and the democrats.

The answer is, of course, none.

I've been asking since we took back the House: when are they going to do something?  When is it going to make a difference?

I was told: well, we've got to get the Senate.  THEN we can do something.

I've been asking since we took back the Senate: when are they going to do something?  When is it going to make a difference?

They passed repeal bills.  They got at least one to Obama's desk.  And then the FINAL piece fell into place... the election of Donald Trump.

I was told: well, we've got to get the White House.  THEN we can do something.

And we were told that because THAT'S what the establishment RINOs wanted us to believe.

Here we sit.  ALL of the pieces are in place.

Well, the GOP had 6 years to plan a repeal.  They had 2.5 months to get the choreography ready.

Clearly, they've done nothing.  All of which begs the issue: why didn't they just rerun the last version of repeal?

Because all of the efforts during Obama were eyewash... the major confusion of motion... with action.

The RINOs were gaming us.  They never intended to repeal, let alone "replace" (which they should not do anyway) They lied to get elected and they've lied to stay elected.  The RINOs at the national level are exactly the same as the RINOs at the local level: democrats in GOP clothing.

Isn't it odd that the behavior of our local RINOs and their betrayal of those who elected them so closely matche the behavior of those at the national level?

NONE of these people ran on a platform that indicated they were going to tell those of us who believed in them enough to give them our vote too, in effect, drop dead.

NONE of them ran on a platform that looked like Annette Cleveland wrote it.

But then, with Rivers, she lied from the getgo anyway, so her caving was to be expected.  After all, she's gotten really good at it and it's only cost us $700 million... so far.

Meanwhile, the RINORyan House fiddles while the GOP burns.

I have never voted for Herrera because she stands as an example of the very thing we detest.

She's been silent because her only purpose in life is to get reelected.  She says nothing and does nothing... because that's what political cowards do.  She wants us to forget all about her efforts to trash Trump and to join with the two democrat senators from this state who trashed him as well.

Trump, of course, no doubt has a list of who's been naughty and who's been nice.  Guess which list that worthless troll is on?

So, the next time any of us curse our Ryan, remember our own worthless facade of a congresswoman,  remember who voted for her.  And then remember this:

If we want change, it has to start here.

And that doesn't mean voting for those who jump through the establishment hoops like they breathe so they can stay in office.

Nor does it mean voting for those who sell us out or lie to us.

Try and remember that the next time you've got a ballot in front of you.

Columbian continues to sit on Boldt PDC take down.

Regular readers of this blog know two things:

The rag will not print negative stories about those they like... meaning they self-censor the news they make known against those they like... such as the recent Public Disclosure Commission's decision to hit my clueless brother-in-law in the head with a political club.

But if you DON'T read this blog, then you wouldn't know that the clown chairing the county commission, the Crain-inspired fake Republican that has screwed this county sideways,  can no longer control his own campaigns and can no longer use family members to do his PDC's.

The irony of that is obvious.

Lefty Lou Brancaccio's hatred of Madore drove him, in these matters, to make even the filing of unproven claims against David Madore big news.

When the complaints were unfounded... as I believe all of them were?

Not so much.

But HERE, we have a complaint that WAS founded.  And here, we have a PDC file that was falsified by Boldt's deliberate decision to hide $5000 from his campaign account.... $5000 that remains unaccounted for since, even though Boldt proved HE didn't take the money that he claimed in his false filing that he DID take, the PDC has refused to show where that money DID go.

So, if you were to go to Boldt's 2012 filings in expenditures, even today, you would STILL see that he paid himself $5000 which he claimed in front of the PDC that he did not DO.

He has not filed and amended C4 Expenditure form to explain where the money went, and the PDC refuses to force him to file an Amended C4 actually wound up.

As of this writing, anyone reviewing his records would STILL see that Boldt ripped off his campaign for $5000 as if he DID take the money.

And what has the Columbian printed about this?

Nothing.

Because when Lefty likes you?

He likes you.  And meanwhile, he babbles about the "freedom of the press."

If the name on this file was "Madore" instead of "Boldt," we'd never hear the end of it.

Now?

We don't hear of it at all.

Filed PDC complaint against Crain's fake Republican group

Look, kids, I get that you want to be all things to all RINOs.  Maybe next time, you'll file your required C4.  After all, we need to see how much PAC money you spent to spend the night in the Heathman, right?

Today's purveyor of governmental arrogance...Ted Gathe!

So there's this discussion on Liz Pike's FB page... where the local democrats who slobber at the thought of resurrecting the CRC/Loot Rail scam... sent a copy of the stupidity expressed by local neo-communist tools who run the fringe-left enclaves... expressing their "disappointment" that, unlike her seat mates, Pike refuses to throw her district under the bridge, so to speak.

Inevitably, this led to the same discussion that's always gone on before.

Those who don't give a damn about what the people of this county want it built now; those who believe that the will of the people of this county should be the determining factor want the whole idea dropped into the river.

Well, the former Vancouver city attorney is a fellow named Ted Gathe.

Ted is an interesting guy.  He's married to a state representative from the Vancouver Soviet, Sharon Wylie.  It has the trappings of the situation where Tracy Wilson is the puppet master of his wife, State Senator Lynda Wilson (RINO -17) but it's hard to say who is running who in that situation: is Wylie doing what Gathe tells her to do, like Lynda is doing what Tracy tells HER to do?  And isn't it odd that democrat Wylie and RINO Wilson are both intent on screwing the people of this county sideways while they fall all over themselves to do the bidding of the downtown mafia that owns ALL of them?

Well, in this discussion, the facts in opposition are  ignored by proponents... no matter that proponents have zero facts in support.

Part of this discussion resulted in Gathe opining thus:

Ted Gathe Oregon has a plan to improve the Rose Quarter congestion but the real problem is the I-5 Bridge Corridor and its multiple ramps. Let's get over the light rail 'bogeyman' fear and get on with a project.  Like · Reply · March 10 at 2:49pm 

Now... let me interpret that:

"I don't care what the opposition to this rip off says."

"Oregon claims to have some vague and nebulous plan to do something about the Rose Quarter insanity, we should trust them implicitly and just go ahead and ignore the people of Clark County and waste these billions."

"Screw you people who know that the ONLY reason for this bridge rip off is to get loot rail into Clark County."

That the only reason for this rip off is to get loot rail into Clark County is indisputable.

Now, when I went ahead and pointed out that what Gathe suggests is NOT what the people of this county want:

Kj Hinton Yeah. Lets just ignore what the people of this county wants like our utterly worthless RINO legislators selling us out are bent on doing.

The real problem is the outright stupidity of replacing the I-5 Bridge before additional bridges are built.

As for getting over loot rail, we already know that loot rail is the only reason you downtown mafia types want this insanity to move forward.

Every reason we dropped the CRC/loot rail scam into the river before remains in effect today.

So let's kill this moronic project permanently and get the other bridges built first. And if Oregon doesn't like it, then we do nothing.  Like · Reply · March 11 at 12:23pm · Edited

Gathe's response?

About what you'd expect from a CRC Scammer.

Ted Gathe Yes, doing nothing is a great option.

Like · Reply · March 11 at 2:09pm

Because that's EXACTLY what I wrote... right?  The ONLY option I suggested was "doing nothing."

But that's what Gathe read.

Because those in the downtown mafia simply don't give a damn what we want, what we've voted for, what is important to US.

The idea that WE have to do ANYTHING merely because Oregon says so?

The idea that replacing a bridge that doesn't need replacement that will accomplish, effectively, nothing except to charge the 70-odd thousand commuters $2000 per year in ever-increasing tolls for the next 40 years for the privilege.... THAT is "doing nothing," except to spread the hated fungus of loot rail into a county that does not want it, does not need it and cannot afford it.

I appreciate Gathe's response.  It's the entirety of the CRC Scam, boiled down to its essence.
