Proof Of Concept

How certain is the DFL that at least a plurality of Minnesota voters just aren’t very good at logic, civics or critical thinking?

Sure enough that they’re treating the $17 Billion “Surplus” a big win for progressive governance, and proof of some divine mandate:

What it actually is, of course, is a combination of:

  • BIllions of dollars in federal Covid stimulus dollars
  • The normal Minnesota DFL overtaxation…
  • …with receipts driven up by inflation in the cost of the goods being taxed
  • All that taxation and inflation going on over an epipandemic surge in stimulus-swollen consumer spending

Mark my words – and I have marked them myself, with “to dos” on my calendar on the first Mondays ijn December of 2024 and 2026: the following will happen:

We’ll check back on this.  Oh, yes we will.

  2. The reason that Emery does not call out all the politicians and journalists who pushed the lie that Trump conspired with Putin to steal the 2016 election from Hillary is because Emery believes that the “Russian Conspiracy” theory is true.

    As usual, you can believe Emery or you can believe your lying eyes:
    Twitter Is Not ‘Shadow Banning’ Republicans
    https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/07/twitter-is-not-shadow-banning-republicans.html
    The fountainhead of Emery’s . . . ‘eccentric’ . . . take on current events is his inability to properly source information.

  3. I don’t have it in me to comment much on this Twitter Files farce — but it’s really striking how all these supposedly scandalous “revelations” have either been public knowledge — or make the old Twitter regime look eminently reasonable.

    Musk’s hand-picked propagandists really couldn’t possibly do a better job of highlighting how much worse things have gotten since he took over. An excellent example of what happens when these reactionary “woke cancel culture!” delusions collide with empirical reality.

  4. “I don’t have it in me to comment much on this Twitter Files farce”

    Lol…you mean you can’t find enough shit to plagiarize!

    I thought you took yourself out of this thread…scurry away, vermin!

  5. Emery is really funny today. Twitter use is up, twitter’s registered users are up, hundreds of banned accounts restored, and Emery says that this is a result of some imaginary thing that he calls “reactionary woke cancel caulture.
    And of course it is always good for a laugh when mister “Russian collusion” accuses anyone of being delusional.

  6. Emery has reached peak idiocy.
    From Emery’s @09:13 link to a recent “Intelligencer” article on the Twitter files:
    The Twitter Files provide limited evidence that the social-media platform’s former management sometimes enforced its terms of service in inconsistent and politically biased ways.

    From my link to a four year old “intelligencer” article:
    More than anywhere else, though, the shadowban has persisted among the conspiracy-minded, as a great weapon of censorship, generally thought to be perpetrated by liberal Silicon Valley operatives at the expense of conservatives. That right-wing voices are being “shadow banned” by Twitter and Facebook has become all but an article of faith among internet-native conservative activists and publishers — despite little evidence to support the claim.

  7. One quality that Emery shares with the long ago banned Dog Gone is really, really, shitty sourcing. He keeps going back to the same wells that poisoned him, expecting ambrosia, and instead he gets poisoned again..

  8. I can’t believe that MSM journalists are piling on the “nothing to see here” wagon. The reveal is not finished yet — we have yet to see much of the Twitter discussions about covid — but already some disreputable journalists are saying the whole expose is a sham.
    Sees like a bad business model.

  9. What I want to know about Hunter Biden is why the Saudis gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars…

  10. No rAT…what you want to know about Hunter is, is he single…you got a rapidly aging “EM nurse” to pawn off, and neither she, or you can be picky.

    Question is…does she bark on command and can she lay out straight coke lines.

  11. Emery is panicking that he will be officially exposed as a bot. All one has to do is look at his frantic and frequent changes of topic. He is a world class fraud, just like the entire DemoCommie party.

  12. then
    we never did it that is a far right wingnut conspiracy theory

    now
    everybody knew we were doing it this is old news move on

    so typical

  13. Meriam-Webster declared “gaslighting” to be the word of year.
    Some people celebrate it like a national holiday.

  14. Can’t speak to Emery’s mental state, but with the evidence that’s coming out, it’s clear that the finger was on the scale at Twitter. The major question is to what extent that finger was placed there at the request of powers that be in DC. I am guessing it’s going to be extremely difficult to prove, and even more difficult to prosecute, and therefore people like Emery are going to say “see no conviction therefore no harm done.”

    Prove me wrong.

  15. sad to say you are probably correct bike

    even sadder to say that when people lose faith in the legal system to punish wrongdoing they feel justified taking matters into their own hands

    we saw this with riots after saint george of fentenyl died in custody and the gentle giant in ferguson missouri

    those mostly were disorganized short term outrage coupled with looting by low class low iq urban criminals

    what happens when the people who decide to take matters into their own hands are capable of planning with foresight and contingencies and multiple squads armed with unconventional weapons

  16. those mostly were disorganized short term outrage

    I disagree Big. Those were VERY well organized. Just ask the umbrella man!

  17. Umbrella man & Qanon walk into a bar . . .
    “Headline: FBI reveals that Umbrella man, Qanon, and Emannuel Goldstein share characteristics, may be linked.”
