If you enjoy hearing a two-bit, part-time, demonetized blogger say “I told you so“, because he saw everything more clearly than people who get PAID to see for a living…..
…..keep reading.
As I predicted a few months ago, the GOP win—if there is any win at all, perhaps we’ll know before winter—was NOT going to be a tsunami, not at the Federal level.
In fact, at the Federal level, I said it could be extremely close.
And, other than with loopy Pennsylvania and the machine failures in red precincts in Arizona…..
…..it doesn’t look like “fraud” can explain everything, this time.
As bad as things are…..
And with most Americans feeling the badness…..
This was a LOUSY result… and many conservatives are surprised.
I see some cretins on Twitter already blaming Trump.
Why the surprise?
As I wrote (to my GOP mailing list, before this blog) as early as August 2021…..
…..the GOP national brand is worthless.
The party has NO PARTICULAR AGENDA, at least, not on issues that resonate with most people.
(Without a coherent, unified agenda, it just becomes a matter of individual candidates, some of whom have no chance on their own merits. Like, if you’re running an Alpha-dog male against an incumbent woman senator from New Hampshire, LOL, forget it, the swing voters are mostly WOMEN. I could go on, state by state. Now you see why a unified agenda is important?)
They may think they have an agenda, but just complaining about inflation or even crime is no agenda, LOL.
What the hell will they actually do?
Not to mention, leadership matters, charisma matters, and the Congressional GOP has no single leader or brand-carrier at the top that anybody wants to hear or look at.
Even Gingrich 1994… very smart-sounding, cool but aggressive, and all over TV/radio so that everyone knew he was the boss…..
…..was an intergalactic sex idol compared to these ROCKS.
Thus, I said any future (looking from 2021) success, would be more a random accident of circumstances, than something earned or deserved.
More recently, some months ago, I wrote they REALLY need some specific policy ideas to run on.
I think I also wrote, I didn’t expect anything along those lines from party “leadership.”
Yeah, I know, candidates talk a lot, and then, they figure they’ll figure it out once they’re in office.
I mean, why commit to some plan that just raises more questions… especially if you’re slick, dull, and/or lazy?
What’s new?
Well, that didn’t work out this time, did it?
Maybe shoulda listened to Dreizin.
(Before I forget, should mention… I also clearly stated that most swing voters are smart enough to see that inflation comes in large part from bipartisan deficit spending and more recently the bipartisan sanctions war on Russia, so if the GOP doesn’t have an actual plan to fight inflation, good luck running on it, you damn fools!!! The soccer moms will just discount it, and vote their feelings on other matters, duh. Today, November 9th, Republican pundits and consultants are waking up to this, admitting it, not in my words but close enough. I first said it probably nine months ago!!! Someone please hire me to run the goddamn RNC or McCarthy’s office, I will come in with a figurative chainsaw, clean house over there. Bunch of blind bozos!!!)
Now…..
If they do take the U.S. House…..
They’re in a bind, whether they know it or not.
As usual, they only have one tool, called “spending more money.”
Unfortunately, any more deficit-financed large pork/stimulus (over and above the existing deficit)…..
…..will, if not push up price inflation…..
…..then at least keep it high, or at least…..
…..they will be blamed for it alongside Brandon, and lose their edge on that issue.
Not to mention, the Federal Reserve might not play along and cook up the Monopoly money, to begin with.
Sure, that’s just about never happened before (maybe one time near the end of WW2), but… things are getting dicey with the Fed.
Also, as I’ve covered, unless Brandon pulls the plug (unlikely)…..
…..Congress will have to appropriate roughly another $100 billion for Ukraine-related stuff, between now and late next year.
They may try to sneak half of that in before the new year, but the other half’s not going away.
So, it will be doubly bad. They will be seen as STILL funding Saint Zelensky…..
…..while they can’t help out anyone here at home.
What can they do?
Basically, nothing.
I don’t know, maybe something about abortion. Big whoop-dee-doo. It will be vetoed.
Another thing…..
The public is already well-experienced and cynical with respect to “debt ceiling showdowns” and all of that nonsense.
No one wants to see that theater anymore.
It was a flop under Obama (remember “sequestration“?), became ludicrous under Trump.
Republicans would be wise not to pull that drama in lieu of real solutions.
But, there are no solutions.
What to do?
I’d say, now, do what they’ve been doing since last year.
It was a BAD strategy then, it’s the ONLY thing to do, now. Just lay low and stay out of the headlines, to the extent possible.
Let Brandon fumble, keep the attention on him… or his absence and incapacity.
These bozos have already blown everything. Now, all I can advise is…..
Don’t get into any stupid dramas or crusades.
That’s all I got.

“Now, all I can advise is…..

LOL, I think it’s safe to say the Republicans will use their House majority to do precisely that. Also the Dems aren’t hurt by the inflation triggered by their spending sprees like many Republicans would think. Many of their key constituencies get the deficit dollars spent on them first and almost none of them understand economics but what they do understand is the Dems spent more money on them when times got tough so they keep voting Dem…
Good point.
179 Trump endorsed candidate won to 9 loses with still some races up in the air. Not sure how that’s a loss, but whatever. Without the election shennanigannery and the RINO sabotage and sandbagging the whole nation would look like Florida electorally. The Potato just doubled down on stupid by saying his policies are great and he’s not going to change a thing! I guess when you are an unelected dictator a 70-75 percent wrong track polling isn’t a big deal apparently. When the pain of staying the same exceeds the pain of change, then things will change. Clearly the United States needs more pain.
179 to 9… are those the MAGA talking points now? I know you did not come up with that yourself, LOL. Of course, most of those 179 are deep red House seats where any Republican wins, Trump or no Trump. On the other hand, Trump’s Senate picks did awfully. Still counting, but it’s likely that NONE of them won, or will win. Your stupid talking points notwithstanding. Why don’t you figure out how to think for yourself? Instead of repeating canned talking points like a retard.
Face facts. The Dems obliterated Republicans by a National Machine utilizing Tammany Hall methods nationally, They mobilized their vote got turn out while Republicans slept. All about ballots and turn out. Hope Republicans learn and join 21st century. I am affluent independent and got so many Demo texts lost track. Not one from Republicans…go figure
Face facts. Dems have been pulling this shit for a long time. Yet somehow, GOP gained in the Senate in 2018, and turned Virginia “red” in 2021. This time, what did the Dems do that you did not expect them to do? I understand, lots of low IQ people find it easier to blame the other side for their own side’s failings.
> I understand, lots of low IQ people find it easier to blame the other side for their own side’s failings.
Exactly. Republicans are just the flip side of Democrats. Not taking responsibility for oneself or the Nation is an AMERICAN problem.
Well Republicans control the house now, if they want they are free to investigate this massive voter fraud. We’ll see if they have the balls to do it.
Wouldn’t exactly call it a lost since seats were gained in the house & governorship. Republican party is in a mess since we have rinos we’re having to fight such as Graham & McConnel. The republican party will not be what the American people deserve until we get rid of all the globalist republicans that are leeching of the American people. The margins will be close since we will never be able to overturn a blue state due to the absolute corruption in the voting system in those states. Blue states also massive exaggerate their census population to increase/maintain their number of representatives.
Hello? You must be 16 years old. The U.S. census is carried out by the Federal government. Perhaps it’s crooked, but the states don’t “massively exaggerate” anything, no one asks them. What a stupid thing to say. Commment are dumb today.
Pennsylvania says it all about why the Republicans did so poorly. Think about it, the Democrats were able to elect someone that was actually dead (died a month before the election) and someone pretty much brain dead.That was done with mail in ballots targeting political imbeciles.
My points:
#1 Democrats are using federal (probably illegal) and private agencies to target couch potatoes with mail in balloting.
#2 The Democratic Party controls all levers of the federal government, the mass media, and large corporations. All of the anti-corporate posturing of the Democratic Party is just show biz.
#3 The Democrats control education and push young people to support a Democratic Party viewpoint.
This has been going on for years and will take time to reverse. The first most immediate solution is to target Republican leaning couch potatoes with mail in balloting by painting the Democratic Party as anti-white, anti-family, and pro-fentanyl and pro-cartel. That’s where the big money should go.
It probably won’t because the Republican Party is mostly about crushing MAGA and going back to being the elite supporting me-too party that hates white males, loves woke issues, lowers wages, lowers taxes and cuts services for the working and non-working class.
There aren’t nearly enough “couch potatoes” on the Republican side to make a big difference. It has been well known for decades that Democrats suffer from “low motivation” among their two most reliable voting blocs (blacks, especially poor blacks, and under-25’s.) It is these blocs that are targeted with ballot harvesting. It is especially lucrative to mine the poor blacks, as they tend to live very compactly; you can just send someone to go around on foot. There are no such unmotivated major demographics available to milk on the Republican side. Yes, there are some rednecks who normally didn’t vote but then came out for Trump, but the numbers aren’t so great, and they are much more spread out geographically.
I’d agree with all of your points outside the “aren’t nearly enough “couch potatoes” on the Republican side.” My guess is there are plenty of stupid right leaning people that don’t vote, they have to be targeted in districts that make their votes necessary until the ballot law is changed. It’s likely we will see voting by computer if this current direction is allowed to continue.
Since you were kind enough to respond I’ll add that mail in voting must be restricted by insisting on voter-ID, signature verification, and enforcement of illegal ballot harvesting laws. It’s clear that DeSantis has pushed a Florida ballot law similar to that found in France and would have never reached his percentages under an Arizona like system. I fail to understand why Republican spokespeople don’t constantly remind people that paper ballots became the norm in the Netherlands because there were serious concerns of fraud. Europeans are considered by most to be a somewhat liberal and rational people. Why not inform Americans of voting laws in other countries? Very few countries allow mass mail in balloting. Why is that? Instead a media narrative that says restricting mail in ballots is racist is allowed to go largely unchallenged. A California style political system with mass mail in balloting is too easy to corrupt. This must be addressed over and over by Republicans and leadership should not cooperate on anything until this fundamental issue is corrected. Otherwise the U.S. will have a one party political system similar to Mexico that had a PRI party ruling for 70 years. I’m pretty old and I have never been a fan of American politics (loathe both political parties) but what I see coming for young people is going to be much worse without an opposition.
I found your website by accident. You are interesting.
Good day.
Something to keep in mind about the Dutch system. In the Netherlands you MUST register your address with the municipal government when you move. You then get a new ID card, and you can’t register utilities without it.
They mail you a token before election day, you then present this token when you show up to vote.
Would Americans accept wide scale government registration? This would require a level of social cohesion I fear we do not possess.
Have read you on here and seen your comments on sonar21.com wanted to tell you that i enjoy your insight.
On the money with respect to Blacks and Dems!
Even though I think both Democrats and Republicans are basically the same think, and capital hill, beautiful and historic building as it is, is a place where lazy people типа работают work, I still have Republican leanings. That being said, I think it’s too early for GOP the have any waves,tsunamis,hurricanes,nuclear blasts or whatever term they dream up, because inflation problems are only starting to bite, by 2024, i think most people will feel full force of the inflation woes, if GOP had won big this election, and inflation will get worse, come 2024 they would get good share of blame for inflation in 2024. So if the play the inflation issue right, haha, going into 2024, we might see a GOP waves/or some other comic term, than. With that being said, I simply don’t care anymore.
How does the US claim 7.7% inflation? I do not live in the US, so I am not sure what the prices are like over there. Surely the true inflation is higher than that. Would someone please be so kind and inform how they produced a number so low? The stock market clearly believes this figure to be significant as it has caused a jump. This seems to run contradictory to what is said on the Dreizin report, I am personally still in belief on what is said about inflation on the Dreizin report, it is here to say until interest rates are hiked up a lot more, but some how the number produced is 7.7%. I would like to know how they managed to get the number so low, what tricks did they use? Thanks for the content Jacob. Always a highlight of my day.
In case you’re not aware, the US changed its formula for calculating inflation in the 1980s and again in the 1990s. There’s an economist who keeps using the old formulas and posts the results at http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts. Those formulas say we’re in Carter-level territory already — and I imagine we’re likely to go higher.
“As usual, they only have one tool, called “spending more money.””
As more countries join BRICS, the U.S. Monopoly money won’t matter. Us American citizens are screwed. Thank you all politicians. I have lost faith in the leadership of this country.
BRICS is totally irrelevant to anything monetary per se. It is an informal club for discussion about expansion of trade and diplomatic cooperation, that is all. Some of these countries work out non-dollar deals between themselves, but that has nothing to do with the club as a whole, nor has it yet had any demonstrable effect on the dollar at all.
In conclusion, you sound like a zombie. Stop reading idiots like Escobar and Luongo. Stop parroting bullshit.
Escobar and Martyanov live in universes of their own . I guess Tom luongo does so as well and Larry Johnson
Brics is not that much at the moment. As soon as there are new elections in those countries the picture can shift drastically. Look at Brazil, South Africa, India, their Brics-involvement can be literally switched on or off by elections or Elite-behaviour. You can say about NATO or EU whatever you want, but those are real Lord-of-the-Rings-binding hegemonic institutions. And everbody can become a member it seems – Saudi Arabia – yeah why not – Iran – yes OK. But this example is already a major contradiction, the religious canyon between Shia and Sunna is a major obstacle. Brics as a quasi non-aligned-but-somehow-aligned movement without real substance and the only constants are China and Russia. There are commentators who have dreamt about Brics for over two decades, but nothing real happens. The SCO MIGHT at some point merge into a real eastern NATO, but you have those ambiguous central Asian states and therefore a lot of possibilities for Uncle Sam to do nasty stuff. The only real alliance in official terms could occur between Russia, Iran and PRC and that depends on how much the US will screw them into a corner. But I am highly sceptical, nationalism and egoism are very strong powers.
I disagree. The short story of BRICS is really economic partnership without political interference in the countries itself. The momentum shifted strongly towards that direction, because the US interferes on a whim in other countries, even former vassals.
And I disagree also with Jacobs opinion, I think it will have an impact to the dollar and the currencies of the US vassals, the Euro already sank 20% in comparison to the dollar, and the dollar and the Euro sank also against the Russian ruble. I think that will also more and more happen, but its speculation of course. We will see.
The dollar didn’t “sink” against the ruble, you stupid dumbass. No one gives a fuck about the ruble. The ruble situation has nothing to do with BRICS, it’s all about Russia’s balance of payments, and higher ruble demand because Russia made its gas customers pay in rubles. Which you would know, if you picked up a financial newspaper, instead of sticking your head in your ass.
OMB feels done, it feels like DeSantis has the last word now. thoughts ?
Well complaining is easy but solutions are hard. So they have no agenda and your concluding advice is… do nothing! Great. Next election should be even more exciting.
Without an independent media holding power to account you can never have democracy. Its the fourth pillar of democracy. It really is that simple. Show me any western so called democracy that has an independent media? I don’t believe it exists? Sadly without an independent media democracy is dead. Mark Twain was correct when he said “if voting made a difference they wouldn’t allow us do it”. At best people just get a choice of voting for either Dumb or Dumber. 330 million people in the US and you only get to choose between Trump and Brandon! Come on man!
You’re spot on as usual! I’ve thought that this 2 Party System is not really or maybe it hasn’t ever really been 2 Parties. People keep voting and nothing changes, it only gets worse. We the People need to realize that We have to fix things Ourselves, wherever We can. Stop relying on people in Washington to help.
Thanks, sadly spot-on. I’d add that the Republican leadership would rather stay in the minority than have more Trump-endorsed electeds around. Also, I’ll believe McCarthy isn’t Paul Ryan II when he approves subpoenas. The good news is the election seems to have finally cured this long-ago Hill staffer’s lingering Potomac Fever. All the best.
Oh BELIEVE ME, there was fraud. There was more fraud on and before election day than we can imagine. Strange how it’s the same states that were plagued with fraud 2 years ago. The SAME swing states the uniparty needs, somehow always mysteriously find crates and thumb drives of ballots to put them over the top.
Shut the hell up. Were you born yesterday? There is fraud in every election. The big blue cities are filthy, have been since “Gangs of New York” days. Somehow, Republicans have won some elections since then. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with good leadership and a vision.
“good leadership and a vision”… uh huh, gee, who knew that’s all it took to defeat electronic voter fraud against the most corrupt government this nation ever had. If only you had shared this sooner!
Hey dipshit. Maybe you were too busy on your knees for Mitch McConnell to notice, but the Republicans have just taken the U.S. House, and probably squeaked by in the Senate as well. If the electronic fraud was all-powerful, they would have lost every race, not sent the Dems packing. Now get the fuck off my blog, you teenage zombie idiot. Blocked and banned.
GOP is just Dem Light!
Jacob, I’m sober and take cold showers every morning. If you read my comment you will see “I know that no one will be harmed”. I just want the investigations flipped for sport, nothing more. I want something out of this nonsense other than your rebuke.
one of the duties that fall on the house is oversight. no power to arrest or convict but if the republicans have access to details/documents/ect. that the democrats are now keeping from us, well, that could be fun. I know that no one will be harmed by the revelations of criminality but I would like to know more on the lap top, the 51 experts, Fauci and Pfizer, royalties paid to CDC and FDA employees from big pharma, a fair review of January 6th, (Subpoena Piglosi he he he) and more. So I will count this a some kind of a win.
Thanks but you’re severely drunk, here’s a cold shower. The Republicans won’t get squat, they will be left holding their dicks. Remember Eric Holder? Hillary Clinton?
I too, read Dreizin’s predictions and didn’t discount them and considered them as I read all the red wave predictions. I like to use many sources, and although some discount Dreizin, to me he’s always like the sergeant in the trench or bush who clues you in to shit the officers might ignore. He’s an EM like me.
Paul Craig Roberts believes the election was stolen, and I admit the previous polling and reports of voters are a complete contradiction to what was supposed to happen. But it really doesn’t matter. The system is in control and will stay in control. Now, they don’t either have the competence or interest in hiding things. As for the GOP being the stupid party…no, they’re the fixed party. McConnell purposely made sure certain candidates were underfunded and he and the boys in charge did nothing…like the Scottish chiefs in Braveheart who, before a battle, rode off with their men and leave the Highlanders to get slaughtered.
I think the only alternative now is not doing the “but in 2024…” that’s what they always push on it…next year in Jerusalem, eh?
Our only hope is to get the red states to stay together, try to make some kind of unified contingency when the collapse comes. I think (from what I’ve seen of many liberals here in St. Louis) that the opposition is beyond reason. They see us as the enemy. it’s time we thought that way and slowly break away. How? I don’t know. But we have to be ready. We have to be wise.
As for Russia, they’d better wrap up the Ukraine soon, because now America has unlimited funding, and they’ll keep that damned war going on forever, and I don’t doubt the US will attack somewhere, anywhere in Russia to break it.
I keep remembering a passage from my old high school history textbook describing the Assyrian empire: “Throughout history, certain nations become powerful and dominate others and force them to do their bidding. This goes on for a while until several other nations ‘gang up’ on the aggressive nation and beat it down.”
I think America is slowly walking into a ‘ganging up.’ Maybe, in a sense, America wants it. This is not a rational time.
Like Jacob said, we have to keep our powder dry.
You really did tell us loud and clear and I was just telling my wife “Dreizin, no moron he.” OK you sorted that out for no pay. Now tell us what the hell is going on in Kherson.
I hope these results are not seen as an endorsement of current policy and allows the incumbents to extend their war in Europe, and then onto Taiwan …..
Imo, “hope” is for the doomed. It’s another variant to “Surely God won’t let this happen?” Of course this will be interpreted as support…
I am sort of relieved for Festerman. I think finally he will have the best health care possible to have that unsightly goiter removed from his neck so that even his wife might enjoy his presence on the marital bed without the use of diapers and a bib.. In the meantime since I live close enough to Camp David that I can see the lights on at night I am going long on good sun glasses and light colored cotton clothing. Nothing would be worse than having a nuclear blast leave a MAGA imprint on my baked skin. Cheers!
You should peddle “Dreizin was Right” t-shirts.
FIVE STAR Reporting “Dreizin Report” aka Jacob…….i read your article months ago…all valid points to why the GOP lost. It was as if Repubs were taking a “fall” as the lack luster campaigning proved.. Has any one noticed how “THEY” changed the GOP Elephant from upward pointed stars–like found on the Flag, to a GOP Elephant with downward (Satanic) pointing stars. “They” changed it a few years ago–from the “female” Star to a “Male” Star– Billy Goat (Ram) symbol with horns on top and the goat’s ‘beard” on bottom…these people love symbolism….and that’s your (demonic) Republican Party Symbol for everyone to see…but no one notices….Dems and Repubs server the same Lucifer Master … The United States of America CORPORATION…That’s why CAPITAL LETTERS on you name on all legal documents. Sadly Sovereignty ended– Bankrupt Banking Act 1933…and beyond…now back to the “Show”….
–Van
I think that I DID notice that about the stars pointing down. Many people, myself included, have that superstition against devil stars.
Maybe the designer was a Liberal kek
You nailed it. We are in a new world. 74% of Americans believed America headed in the wrong direction. Outrageous inflation. A president with the lowest approval ratings ever. And yet the incumbent party re-elected. Go figure. I’m old enough (70) to remember when elections were counted within 8-12 hours. We now have an unchecked progressive, neocon rule. Not good. The Republic will not last more than 10 years. Election results will not be accepted. Brazil here we come.
Women, those powerless beings who have been controlled by the patriarchy since time immemorial– ha ha- who happen to run all our personal lives (interestingly enough), brought the hammer down on those who decided to mess around with their “right to choose”. The recent Supreme Court decision regarding Roe– was the most significant event influencing the outcome of this election. One might consider how the plan was carried forth– to energize the tribal instincts of women whose self interest far out paces any concerns with potential nuclear war, a sinking economy of rising inflation, political corruption and so on. One might argue– that whomever orchestrated this Supreme Court decision, that it should take place right before the election– but not too close as to give time for spreading discontent, that perhaps the current balance of the court would be tempted to move in this direction, that perhaps supposed conservative members of the court are in fact minions of Deep State power and so forth– that whomever orchcestrated that outcome, is smarter than the average bear- (Like the cartoon character “Yogi the Bear”.) Whomever set up this plan– when it actually worked–pulled off an amazing manipulation of the political process. Seen as a big win for the fringe elements of the Republican base, it destroyed the dreams of half the country who believe in Naitonalism and kept the Globalist power elites firmly on course to enact their (seemingly diabolical) new world agenda.
Thanks but that’s not the fringe elements, that *is* the base, LOL. Sadly enough.
I think the most important factor for this election was indifference. The pain of inflation and high gas prices is not severe enough to change the lifestyle significantly of many people. The state giving free sh.t out is always a tranquilizer. And of course Jacob was and is right, what does the GOP really stand for? Not really anything as far as I am concerned, maybe De Santis with his common sense approach is good, but the rest of the Republican party? Nah.
If you watch the elections of the Western nations in the last 20 years closely, you will see many parallels, indifference, slow and steady decline of living standards, corruption in the state administration and political elites being so deep that just a little bit difference in elections is not gonna cut it. People don’t care, unless they freeze and hunger. Unfortunate, but that’s how it is.
Maybe we are lucky, and we don’t experience hyperinflation, maybe it’s just like in Japan with another 20 years of zero growth. More steady decline, but I doubt it, I think hyperinflation will come, and more of the same military adventures. Then a crash, then rebuilding, history rhymes but it doesn’t repeat itself.
As a woman & lifelong registered No Party Affiliation voter (at least until the 2016 primary when I was temporarily a Democrat to vote for Sanders in the primary & then this summer when I reregistered again for the Republican primary), I must respectfully disagree. I think returning the issue of abortion back to the states, where any true libertarian will tell you it belongs, had a minimal impact on the midterms, particularly in comparison with the impact of obvious shenanigans in all the usual suspect states/counties.
Let the gentleman have his constructed fantasies.
As a European who has lived under governments formed out of coalitions of up to seven parties, I don’t understand how come there is not at least one strong third party in the US. I supposed it has to do with the way counting works. If I understand correctly, for instance, it doesn’t matter whether you get one million votes in California, you either win the state or lose it. I suppose the system creates more stability in the long term. Also, pardon my ignorance, but doesn’t the fact that one is forced to register as a democrat/republican makes it impossible to cast a secret vote, as it is supposed to be in the elections of most countries??
I went to bed last night and could see the results weren’t going to be the red tsunami and i thought to myself ‘that bloody dreizin right again’ !
I’ve been thinking/saying it for months. It’s loud mouth, up to his eyeballs in lawsuits, more cabinet members quit than any President who ever lived in my lifetime (61) Donald Trump. I voted for him and he got done what I wanted with a record number of District, Appellate, and Supreme Court (the latter of which isn’t worth a damn)
But if he ran tomorrow we would almost be certain to have a Demoncrat President.If what’s left of the country survives by the next election, he needs to go sit down somewhere, STFU and get over himself.
Desantis is your man.
Maybe for a moment the GOP was so used to a majority gullible electorate that they could go by having no agenda at all. I would’nt blame on that basis, I mean just watch a Jerry Springer show. Then again, maybe the electorate is grudgingly learning that a plan/vision is necessary, the hard way I suppose. If so, maybe the USA does stand a chance along the 21st century.
Jacob, reading you I get the impression of it all just being a game, with your team being just as shitty as the other team. But they are not teams and both ultimately serve the same masters. It’s farce and clown show layered on greed and arrogance.
The people, well the people are ignorant and brainwashed, divided against themselves and utterly incapable of defending themselves in any way. Propaganda has proven more powerful then critical thought. The use of social issues as a means of division is as intentional as it is effective.
There is no good side to any of this. Nor is there any good side to cheer for. It’s nothing but national suicide by stupid.
There is another angle here – we have two deadlocked class interests. I hate to use the marxist term, but I’m not sure what else to call it. Intra-elite competition is a normal part of governing society. But what happens when neither side has any creditability left with the public? These two groups within the US seem unable to overcome each other. It is very much like Rome at the time of Cesar’s rise, or the dregs of the Jacobians versus the right before Napoleon. Closer to home perhaps – English Parliament versus Charles I. Sorry if that is a melodramatic comparison. While all of the circumstances surrounding these events are a bit different, the general thrust is the same – the governing elite of society become deadlocked and unable to maintain a functional state.
Usually, a third force steps into that void. That’s the part that scares me.
Thanks. Third force was obviously Trump, didn’t work out. Fourth force will probably be Variant X.
“Usually, a third force steps into that void. That’s the part that scares me.”
Why does that scare you? It’s the part that gives me hope
The GOP seems like a vestigial organ of the American body politic. A sort of appendix attached to the vast Democratic apparatus that runs everything in Washington. The Democrats control all the levers of power. From the corrupt state security agencies (CIA, FBI, etc.) and the State Department, to the propaganda and consensus-building Big Tech, mainstream news, and entertainment industries.
Conservatives have been marginalized to a remarkable extent. Their disaffection and anger channeled into innocuous venting orchestrated by con artists like Trump who regularly promise a sea change but deliver instead another generous serving of the Deep State and ruinous bloated militarism.
GOP “victories” have long been scored on marginal issues of marginal importance to the vast majority of ordinary Americans. For example, abortion and religion. It is laughable when a vicious Republican neocons like Mike Pompeo sends out texts exhorting those at the receiving end to prayer. Nobody can beat Republicans at cynicism.
The country seems to have reached a political and ideological tipping point from which it is unlikely to ever return to the much-touted but really long-defunct conservative values.
Hello. You could start with “Russia At War” by A. Werth.
Realistically, under current law and practice, you will never be admitted as a permanent resident (or a guest worker or even a tourist) to Russia if you are from outside the former USSR, unless you have a “sponsor” inside Russia. Doesn’t even matter if you know the language (which I assume you don’t.)
There is zero leadership, no real solutions being offered (by either party), and very little willingness to speak the truth, especially by the “leadership” of both parties. However, wishful thinking, egos, self-interest / self-dealing, and outright insanity is in great abundance.
This website chicandamazing.com and a couple of other websites say if you buy real estate in Russia, which you are allowed to do in most of the country (not on the border or in certain other regions), then you can also have ‘the right to reside permanently in the country’, but I also read you need like Jacob said a kind of sponsor if you want to stay longer there. Probably depends on the Oblast you want to live in and the other state laws now.
I thought you were a little nuts on your prediction, but you were correct. Empire must fall before it rises up again. Sad, but we are all guilty. Since Ukraine funding will not stop, Russia will take it all slowly and deliberately while destroying west economically . Then all Russian buddies like China, India, Iran , Arabs get together and create its own currency.
Spot on and frankly I’m beginning to think that the GOP doesn’t want to be in power. Much easier to let the POTUS POTATO look like an ass or safer to tourettes style angry sound bites for Fox News. Seems that soft social issues lead the way for folks and I’m still waiting for someone within the GOP to loudly tell the drones that LBGTQXZYWTF, aborting unborn babies, trying to topple Russia via Ukraine, and funding the Church of Climatology doesn’t lower your grocery bill, help fill your tank, or give your kids a successful future. So now we get to continue watching the usual degenerates, with a sprinkling of a few new faces, throw trillions on the soft social issues fire for years to come
You sure called it, Jacob! You know a hell of a lot more than all the knuckleheads out there combined.
I read you many times warning of this outcome. I thought you might be wrong this time. Nope. You were spot on.
Yes you called it right back a ways. The amazing thing now will be the 2024 ellection but not for the president as most think. I believe economics goes from metrics to exponential. Our debt is going insane. Now contemplate the BRICS and how many are hoping on most recent Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The idea of the BRICS using the SCO no need to use dollars. If the dollar is in serious trouble by 2024 we are going to need serious statesman.
all of it of little consequence and known before. The count is controlled in virtually all the urban areas of the country. This was tried and tested successfully in 2020. Why on earth would any idiot expect a different result. We live in a Banana Republic. Prepare now for Pandemic 2.0 and CBDCs and further suppression of free anything. And inform yourselves. Learn what is actually in each joy juice vial. Until you know the ingredients you will not be able to predict the outcome.
Like you said the US has become Ukraine
Speaking as a British citizen that is incredibly disappointed in the political situation in the UK I had hoped that a real opposition existed in the US, an opposition that could stand up to the maiac Biden who seems Hell bent on a global conflict and world war.
Neither is there a coherent opposition since all American politicians are out for themselves and only feign interest in thd common people their problems and difficulties. Nor is there even the common sense among the electorate. They are so convinced that they are immortal they actually believe that Russia will use a little nuke in Ukraine and not a full barrage of nuclear missiles with multpiple warheads on the USA.
THEY ARE IDIOTS.
The only way Russia loses in Ukraine is if they are forced to destroy the US, UK and other Nato countries and suffer a nuclear counterstrike. The continued supply of weapons and money to Ukraine is like a down-payment on American destruction. Ironically the US has literally nothing to gain from involvement in the conflict in Ukraine EVERYTHING to lose.
No, they never were going to win and never will win every gain because it is rigged on an industrial scale. Really to say anything other than this at this point is wilful stupidity
Afraid you are right, Peter. They are not even bothering to hide what they are doing now. Brandon told us in advance this time. The Arizona governor race is a scandal – no wonder the Dem candidate didn’t bother to campaign – she knew the fix was in. And all this is done right in everyone’s face.
“the GOP national brand is worthless” – в яблочко
It dawned on me last night as I sipped on my beer “Damn for the first time in at least 20 years that I was not the least bit interested in the outcome.” I contemplated that for a moment and came to the conclusion nihilism has gripped me by the throat. The outcomes seems to be pretty much in line with what I assumed would happen; essentially we have a hung jury.
I suspect a new call for unity, as fake as it may be, will be trumpeted. I believe the power brokers have decided to shelf the divide and conquer strategy. Farewell to story time with drag queens for a moment. Let’s unite under the flag, come together and take care of all our woes…..The Russians and Putin.
I think a partial stalemate is best, actually. It’s good if the house goes republican even if they have no agenda outside of narrow self interest. Let the emperor of ice cream continue to totter around the white house taking the majority of the blame and ruling by executive order. (As an aside, it’s crazy that they haven’t yet snatched away biden’s baby rattle, maybe by January.) In any case, the center won’t hold when diesel/food/electricity/porn runs low. Global Somethinging is a harsh mistress.
BRAVO and thank you. “…..the GOP national brand is worthless….” GOP “strategy” represented by war-mongering village idiots a la Glenn Beck.
Yet – we are now close to US, Poland and Romanian soldiers entering Ukraine “if Russia escalates”… as expected.
Ukraine Russia war – Col Doug Macgregor https://youtu.be/ry7j-DaabpQ (if you can still stand seeing/hearing Napolitano)
beck is a grifter
Congrats on the prediction. But it’s not like you to down sell your analysis. The RNC agenda is clear to any reader of The Dreizin Report. It is the same as the DNC; The steering committees are both bestiality pimps or menagerie operators. They both are paid, rather poorly for the value they provide, to sell out and pimp as much as possible without waking up the sheeple. They even service the same wolves, but like all good pimps their respective shops promote a specialty, anal or oral. When the Johns get satiated and bored, who knows maybe R-D/NC will fold their current shops together with another swing at out in the open fascism like the USA almost got right before WW2? I’m just hoping the necrophiliacs don’t take over Silicon Valley
You nailed it! The country is f’d up and will be for a long while. Hopefully some saner folks manage to keep our troops out of Ukraine. But, I wouldn’t bet the farm on that happening. Nothing like a real war to divert attention from food shortage and healthy kids dropping dead.
Where r these “healthy kids” to be dropping dead? They just look healthy, like the cattle on a feed lot, but they too were raised eating shit food and artificial hormones. It’s kind of like American looks like a “Democratic Republic”… Well yeah, it is looking a lot like North Korea, even up to having a dead person as head of state.
If you want a tangible action that the Republicans could do (if they had any balls) it is to change their leadership. Vote out McConnell and McCarthy and replacement them with genuine leaders, if any exist in either the House or Senate. This would send a clear message to the base that they are serious about changing course. But this will never happen of course.
There are no ”leaders” in the west, it’s seems to be the zeitgeist! Weak beige actors! Pathetic.
I agree! Like Jacob, I have been saying the American people are smart enough to realize unless they replace their current leadership, nothing will change. I was so tired of McCarthy saying, when we get control of the House we will do, A.B and C. I kept saying, they haven’t done anything in the past and they aren’t going to do anything new if they do gain control.
meet the new boss,same as the old boss,we will be fooled again!in two elections america has elected 2 brain damaged candidates.if JC ran for office he would loose.i disagree whith the notion it is the parties or candidates,It is the level of ignorance of the general population,you cannot fix stupid we in USA have been on this road since WW2 looking forward never side to side or back.
Nonsense. “Trump’s GOP” was able to pick up several U.S. Senate seats as recently as 2018. And, Virginia suddenly went “red”, just last year. Of course, candidates and issues matter. I’m sorry your MAGA crowd didn’t do so well this year, but that’s their problem. Perhaps YOU are the “ignorant” one.
Apologies if I missed it, but I must ask what are your thoughts on the Trump/DeSantis bullshit? Since I asked I must say:
1. RD got shit done (a lotta shit). Why is he a target of anyone from the so called right? I can tell you there’s no place I would rather be than Florida. My Mexican Dem buddy went off last night. In fairness he was buzzed. This is why I ask because he literally hates (I mean really fucking hates beyond reason) DT. He’s losing his job with Val D but he isn’t upset with RD. Lol hell maybe he’s gonna apply for a job lol. He hates Kari Lake too (unbridled passion). I have learned to watch how normies react to shit as an excellent way to gauge the zeitgeist.
2. For the life of me I do not understand why anyone is looking to 2024. Seems to me like a classic case of getting out over one’s skis.
Great question about Trump/Desantis. I look forward to seeing this shitshow play out. Trump is lashing out like some freaky stalker ex-girlfriend, leaving crazy stream-of-consciousness rants on your voicemail. In my younger days, I used to come across poor negroes on the Greyhound bus who had far more dignity and class (and sometimes, better English) than this motherfucker. Of course, his routine was fun when he defended himself against Democrats, our crooked FBI, etc. But, watching him go off against someone who is not (yet) even in the ring, it brings home how disgusting and demented he is. Trump has also attacked my governor Youngkin (who turned Virginia red) for no reason at all.
In my view, we should thank Trump for his service, tie him up, and put him in a cage on the far side of the Moon. If that doesn’t work, then get his voluntary, written consent, and euthanize him (again, only with written consent.)
I will say there is nothing more that Trump can do. He’s already lost the plot, forgot his original message. A second Trump term would be a nothing, just more shitshow. All the Trump cultists now just want to see him stick it to the Dems, that’s their only agenda, there is nothing else. They are like Third World peasants, cheering for their local drug lord, because he’s their guy and fuck hell yeah.
Trump had his chance in 2017, it was a long shot, but he failed. With more discipline and better communication, and less ego and more maturity (i.e. not walking into the viper den like he was going to charm everyone because he’s so awesome), maaaaybe he could’ve saved the Titanic. Now, forget it. We may be going down, but it would be a more dignified torment to have a captain who can speak complex thoughts in the English language.
Hi Jacob, these polls backfired again , how many voters didn’t turn out thinking it was a formality?
I was waiting to see if you mentioned the mid-term elections. Your right…you not only said it, you screamed it for a while. What a mess.
