Why do you suppose the lefty media headlines from Wisconsin have focused exclusively on the Supreme Court race, in which the libs seized a one vote majority?

Oh.

  3. What this means is the degenerates won’t pass gas legislatively, but they’ll crush legislation in the courts.

    Sounds familiar.

    Still, it’s not like the GOP was making hay anyway. Gridlock is good.

  4. Also passed, by 2:1 margins, were 2 anti-crime measures allowing judges greater leeway in raising/denying bail, and a third measure (80% approval!) requiring welfare recipients to work or look for work.
    We’ll see how disastrous the new 4:3 radical left SC is going to be.

  5. BTW, I don’t work (but I am not on public assistance).

  6. Knodl barely won in what has been a solidly (+10%) Republican district.

    Perhaps Protasiewicz can help end the gerrymandering that helped Knodl win his seat. One win will have a greater impact in Wisconsin than the other.

  7. Look at rAT go!

    Scurrying here and there, squeaking his support for degenerate fuckery….he’s adorable.

  8. They are applauding because it means a few things, things which you don’t want to talk about.

    First, it means that suburban voters are fleeing the Republican brand. Mostly over abortion but also, Mitch, over guns.

    Second, it means they will be able to redress the egregious (and I believe unconstitutional but at a minimum morally improper) highly partisan gerrymandering that has resulted in a state which has about a 50/50 split by voting history (actually it’s slightly MORE favorable for Dems) but has about a 3/2 split at the state house. Dems are disenfranchised in that state and while you may fling pooh and clap about that, it’s wrong. It would be wrong if the reverse were true also and it’s the Dems who say “no” to highly partisan, hate-fueled gerrymandering.

    Last, it points out that, yet again, there WAS NO FRAUD (nothing material) certainly no organized fraud, in 2020, or in Minnesota when Franken beat Coleman or any of the other 100 times you’ve lied about it happening and can never prove it. It also says that folks are getting tired of the crazy. A criminal defendant lied about the campaign funding of a judge sitting/presiding over his case, and there are crickets from the right. Your annointed one (Trump) says we should defund the FBI and DOJ, quite simply because they are investigating HIM. He certainly had no qualms using DOJ to politically punish Michael Cohen or John Bolton – i.e. “weaponizing the DOJ” – in short, like you, Trump projects his far more violative behavior on others as a self-defense mechanism – and people see it. They see it in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, and in Wisconsin.

    So, misunderstand Wisconsin, I want you to. I want the GOP to keep running off the cliff. Neal Gorsuch said, when he voted in favor of allowing highly racially discriminatory gerrymandering in North Carolina, that the GOP should be careful what it wishes for, because if they ever become the minority, especially if they ever lose the ability to control the drawing of representational lines, that conduct can be used against them to make them a PERMANENT minority because in many cases the Dems have and will have the majority. It’s only the forebearance of the Dems (in places like NY) and presumably based on their words, in Wisconsin, where they’ve said they will behave with more principle than the GOP (which is pretty normally the case) that might save your party from your well-deserved consequence. I suspect Wisconsin will shift back toward the Dems at the statehouse level, and with it, perhaps they’ll make voting (especially registering) more accessible. And OH MY GOSH, how bad that would be, right? After all, the only fraud in voting in the US, is the fraud you present saying it’s happening, so that you can suppress the vote. Too bad that may come to an end in Wisconsin. You should applaud that outcome, not condemn it through your sohpistry. If you want to complain/assert Dems are going to do something nefarious, it sure would be good if you could point to where they’ve done so first.

  9. Obviously, given the election results, law and order can be a winning issue for the GOP in Wisconsin, statewide.
    The Protasiewicz ads I saw were all about abortion. The Kelly ads were all about crime. The problem was I saw 3x as many ads for Protasiewicz as I saw for Kelly.

  10. The problem was I saw 3x as many ads for Protasiewicz as I saw for Kelly

    That was the message in that Jesse Kelly tweet I posted above. A 14-2 differential in campaign cash.

  11. jdm – elections are bought, not won or lost. Unless you are a Beto or Adams, but then exceptions prove the rule and it shows how grotesquely dumb those idiots are.

  12. One potential issue in Wisconsin is that the GOP in the state legislature has threatened to impeach Protasiewicz as a means of manufacturing a more favorable partisan composition of the Courts (effectively overriding the will of the voters). What makes this even more egregious is that the GOP super-majority in the state legislature is a byproduct of highly partisan political maps that were previously approved by GOP controlled Courts. e.g. even though the political composition of the state is fairly evenly divided between the two parties with perhaps a very slight Democratic lean, the state legislative maps concentrate the Democratic vote in a few districts, which help to effectively manufacture larger majorities for the GOP. Even in elections where the Democrats have more votes across the entire state, the GOP has been able to lock in large majorities in both the state legislature and in the House of Representatives. This issue exists in other states, but the GOP has been especially aggressive in the way that it has rigged the vote and insulated the party from democratic accountability in Wisconsin.

    If midwestern Republican leaders hope to win statewide elections in the near future, they will have to figure out how to win Republican primaries without taking strong anti-abortion positions. Those positions have been winners in Republican primaries where opponents of legal abortion vote, but such positions are poison in the general elections even in relatively conservative Wisconsin.

  13. ^^More gibberish.
    It’s not the GOP who are the people pushing an extremely narrow majority to push a radical, partisan agenda. Next door in Minnesota, the D’s control of state government rests on one state senate seat that was on by fewer than 500 votes.
    The DFL has used that microscopic advantage to institutionalize massive increases in spending, new taxes, the most radical abortion law in the US, and, bizzarely, to allow non-custodial parents outstate to kidnap their child, bring him/her to MN and have them sterilized.
    It is ridiculous to consider the MN GOP is responsible for the radical politics of MN DFL. Does not pass the laugh test.

  14. First, it means that suburban voters are fleeing the Republican brand. Mostly over abortion but also, Mitch, over guns.

    Pen,

    Read this. It’s a big read, but utterly worth it.

    Thoughts (after you’ve read it?)

  15. So… woolly deflects to the Minnesota DFL ?

    The Strawman Fallacy
    Ignore the real argument
    Create a pretend argument
    Defeat the pretend argument
    Claim victory over the real argument.
    Do a victory dance.

    That’s some high test gibberish ya got there woolly 🥴

  16. Emery is making a big ol’ batch of word salad again.
    You can always tell that word salad is in the making when Emery refers to the comments of others without direct quotes & links to the source comment. It’s a sign he’s gone carp-fishing in Lake Emery.

  17. the big p babbles, as usual, but at least touches on the donkey in the room.

    the 2020 election was fraudulently conducted in wisconsin
    nothing was done to correct it
    there’s no reason to believe this election was any cleaner

    blaming abortion over crime is missing the point
    voting harder makes no difference
    the vote counters simply cheat more

    The solution is sunshine. Proof of eligibility, purple fingers, paper ballots, election monitors from both parties watch the count and independently verify the results. Transparancy builds confidence, secrecy destroys it.

    i have no confidence in election results spit out by a black box fed ballots in secret

  18. Wisconsin is gerrymandered such that a large part of the voters are disenfranchised. They can’t vote for their preferred legislators. Partisan judicial elections is the outcome of that.

    The gig may be up for the Republicans since their re-districting plans are a major case in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. Seeing how close the Congressional party make-up is in the House of Representatives, this may have national implications.

  19. The solution is sunshine.

    Right on cue, one county at a time:

    Mike Lindell Reveals Missouri County Goes Completely Machine-Free with Paper Ballots Only – Massive Win for Election Integrity

  21. It’s always funny when teh little Peevee drops in for a melt-down, but just look at the effect it has on rAT! He’s scurrying around like someone just dropped a bunch of wet, juicy garbage on him to feed on.

    …come to think of it, that’s exactly what just happened! 🤣🐀

  22. rAT squeaked: “Wisconsin is gerrymandered such that a large part of the voters are disenfranchised. They can’t vote for their preferred legislators. ”

    No, rAT; that’s now how gerrymandering works. Gerrymandering is carving districts of like minded people out, to ensure they *are* represented. Degenerates hate it, because it makes it harder for them to disenfranchise normal, civilized people.

    You’re a fucking moron, and are *never* right about *anything*…where did you get your PhD in Political Science?

  23. In Wisco, legislative maps are made by the state legislature & subject to a veto by the governor. The legislature can override the governor’s veto.
    Some people like the rule of law, some people react to the rule of law by trying to get the courts to overturn it.
    The key to a healthy polity is local rule. Having all of Wisconsin ruled by people living in Milwaukee and Dane counties is anti-democratic and colonialist.

  24. Protasiewicz did not win because she represents far-left views, she won because she represents what are now well established, centrist views in the United States. In a democracy, voters determine what centrism is, not politicians or cable TV or comments on alt- right blogs.

  25. Has anyone else noticed that the less Emery knows about a topic, the more likely he is to have a strong opinion on that topic?

  26. It’s hard to tell, UMMP. He bloviates on everything, and I have not detected a variation in how very much he is wrong across any subject. He’s a side show across the board.

    Did you notice that teh little Peevee has his flaps in an uproar regarding…well, everything? That’s because his diseased mind is adrift. He is incapable of focusing on anything for more than a second or two, because nothing is going the way he wants it to.

    I take his level of agitation as a measure of how well civilized people are rejecting the insanity of degenerate influences.

  27. she won because democrats suppressed the vote in republican districts

    showing up to vote harder does no good when the machines are ‘broken’

  28. In the diseased minds of Bikebubble, teh little Peevee and rAT Emery, cutting the junk off a 10 year old boy represents “centrist views” in Weimerica. They’re wrong, but I encourage them to believe it, because the faster it crumbles, the less damage we will have to repair it.

    Most hoarders, like rAT Emery’s dead Chemistry PhD advisor, Prof Bill “Kreapy” Gleason, think that living in heaps of garbage, dead cats and feces is centrist.

    The quicker they depart the planet, the less mess there is for us to clean up after they’re gone…same energy.

  29. You’re a bigot, and anti-Semite Bigman. Collect your sheet and get in line. Cross burning at seventeen hundred.

  30. Teh little Peevee: “AAAAAAARGH! YOU FUCKING NAZIES!!! I HATE YOU!!! (coff, coff) AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”

    Merg: “Pen,
    Read this. It’s a big read, but utterly worth it.
    Thoughts (after you’ve read it?)”

    🤣🤡

  31. Regarding the claim that Wisconsin districts are horribly gerrymandered, here’s the map currently. They’re actually reasonably compact; Milwaukee has one, Madison has one, and then it spirals around with only one district that isn’t pretty compact.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin%27s_congressional_districts#/media/File:Wisconsin_Congressional_Districts,_118th_Congress.svg

    Same thing holds for the state assembly and senate. If you want a gerrymandered state, look to the south in Illinois. It’s really bad there.

  32. Consider the state of Minnesota in 2018, when Walz was elected to his first term.
    Now consider the state of Minnesota in 2022, when Walz was re-elected.

  34. Perhaps Protasiewicz can help end the gerrymandering that helped Knodl win his seat.

    gerrymandering (n).: Explanation given whenever Republicans defeat Democrats in elections.

  35. One of the Emery’s once displayed an astonishing familiarity with the beliefs & practices of Shia Islam.

  36. If Fidel Castro, who once gave a 7 hour, 10 minute speech, was still alive, he’d probably tell Paddyboy to cut down on the length of his tl;dr screeds.

  37. One potential issue in Wisconsin is that the GOP in the state legislature has threatened to impeach Protasiewicz as a means of manufacturing a more favorable partisan composition of the Courts (effectively overriding the will of the voters).

    How ironic. Emery’s head squatter was impeached twice for political reasons, and then indicted on a weak case after announcing he’d run for the Presidency again.
    Now that the GOP might do it to a left-wing judge, we suddenly care about the will of the voters again?

    Recent history has shown Democrats taking bold, new, actions while in power (and even being warned about it by their colleagues on both sides of the aisle), and then complaining when Republicans walk through the door they opened.

  38. One of the Emery’s once displayed an astonishing familiarity with the beliefs & practices of Shia Islam.

    LMMFAO! +100 🤣🤣💥

  39. If I were in the Wisconsin GOP, I’d be doing a deep dive into Protasiewicz’s tax records, social media history, investments, political contributions, public statements and college records for the explicit purpose of impeaching, or indicting xer.. Hell, I’d be subpoenaing xer high school classmates.

    This is all ground covered by the degenerates, and so, is fair game.

  40. Vlad, I like your thinking, bro!

    After all, the DemoCommies crossed the rubicon and set the precedent.Those stupid bastards never think about the consequences of their actions, so boil them in their own oil, says I.

  41. I heard xe secretly flew on the SR-71 Blackbird to Iran to negotiate exchanging nuclear fuel for access to cheap oil. If true, that would violate the Logan Act and constitute grounds for impeachment.

    No, I have no evidence. But the seriousness of the charges demands an investigation. And while under investigation, xe should recuse xerself from hearing any cases.

  42. Remember when it was proven that Brett Kavanaugh was proven to have raped Christine Blasey Ford? On the grounds of “believe all women?”
    Well, you know who acted as lookout while Kavanaugh raped the young, innocent, and totally sane Christine Blasey Ford?
    Janet Protasiewicz.
    It’s a really sordid story. Lots of cocaine involved, plus alcohol. We must have courage, here, and consider ALL OF THE FACTS!
    Yep. The timeline makes no sense, and there are no witnesses, but this was related to me by a woman (or maybe a man in a dress and a bad wig).
    Believe all women!

  43. Well, you know who acted as lookout while Kavanaugh raped the young, innocent, and totally sane Christine Blasey Ford?
    Janet Protasiewicz.

    Michael Avenatti told me it’s true, right there on CNN.
