I love it when Rick calls it like it is. Merrick Garland was/is a weak, lily livered chickenshit. But the main blame for our disaster is Bitch McConnell, who has been taking bribes and donations from billionaires, millionaires and corporations for many years, has no spine and does not deserve to be a U.S. Senator. Right now we need clear thinking people to do as Rick said and step up and keep ragging on Trump. Question; What do you call Jim Jordan, Matt (my girlfriend is 17) Gaetz, Marjory Toadstool Greene, Lauren Blowbert, Mike Johnson, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, at a party? High heels!

Rick, being from Florida I’m sure you know how to spot a Cocaine user from a 100 yards but I’m also guessing opiates and heroin are not drugs you can spot the signs of as clearly

Well I’m telling you from experience, Musk is using opiates every day, the obsessive posting delivered in rapid bursts after gaps of time, the certainty he’s right combined with the laziness not to check the simplest things, picking up things and sharing them as his own then getting into petty fights, this is a junkies posting style if ever I’ve seen it

I’m not sure he’s got it in him to actually get a needle and spot up some junk but he’s on the Oxys at the very least, at absolute best he’s hitting the Benzos hard but I’m seeing opiates in everything he does

So people need to shut up about Ketamine and accept the fact that the global media is letting a Junkie wake up every morning and set the news agenda just because he’s rich

They stole the election. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but they’ve got enough evidence now. They switched Kamala’s votes to Chump!!!

If you're not a conspiracy theorist, Sheila, then please present your evidence.

Let us now forget who Rick Wilson is. He is not Lenin, and Trotsky rolled into one. He is a very very conservative ad campaign writer for the Republican Party. Look at his record. He is not the second coming of JFK. Trump put him on the map. He and Lincoln Project exist only as a by product of the evolution of the Donald into a fucked up national despot.Look at the candidates he has supported. Enemies make for strange bedfellows. Do not be beguiled into thinking he is a Progressive leaning figure. He is not. His hysteria about the perceived loss of the great Democracy of America is what shines the light on Rick. He has done a great job of taking advantage of the limelight

Technically, Rick's core ideology is classical liberalism. That means he believes in free markets, limited government and liberty as the highest value. He was never a religious or cultural conservative. He was more concerned about low tax rates and regulation than crawling into somebody's bedroom to spy on their sex life. And that hasn't changed since he had his Road to Damascus moment with Trump. They're just less of a priority for him right now than preserving the rule of law. Trump is also an uber-statist, not a conservative, willing to use the government against citizens in ways that he has always consistently opposed.

And Rick would have made a helluva lot more money and along with his family, endured a helluva lot less abuse, if he had gone along with his fellow GOP ad consultants and gotten on the Trump Train. That he didn't amounts to noble self-sacrifice for a principle.

But nobody here confuses Rick Wilson with Bernie Sanders, LOL

I am really tired of these assoles who provide a paragraph, and then want you to pay for subscription, I will say it again: Sell ad space to people ,and companies you trust. I do not want to hear shit about corporate interests, and sacrificing our integrity, and selling out, and all that other horse shit, we are not snow driven virgins, We all in one way or another have sold out soul to the devil...whether it be a woman, a bottle of beer, or a heroin needle. Save the noble bullshit If Sesame Street can survive ads, political blog sites can. I suppose there is something inherently evil about a chewing tobacco ad on race car...eh???

The expression you were looking for is pure as the driven snow.

What a snow-driven virgin is, is anybody's guess ;)

I really do not need you to put words in my mouth. Do not be such a patronizing mother fucker. Oh dear ..BAD word !You might report me to the school nurse. Try not to be such an arrogant, pedantic dick. Go proof read Cliff Notes, and no I do not want to know about your last read book, and what Wagner had for lunch

I run Ad Block Plus. I don't have to deal with Internet ads even on YouTube.

Peter, I spent nearly a year on Rick's substack without subscribing. Rick provides plenty more than a "paragraph," LOL. And only about half of his 'stacks are behind the paywall, so I got to read and comment on plenty of his stuff before I became a subscriber.

If you don't want to subscribe, don't freakin' subscribe, brother. You're commenting on this thread just fine.

You apparently don't know what a classical liberal is. It's not the same thing as a postwar liberal.

See Timothy Snyder's piece on a "Shadow Cabinet". It is needed here and now as a means of opposition and spreading truth.

Jan6 should be a day of mourning and resolve: we’re not going back! Go to peoplesmarch.com, enter your zip code to find the March nearest you.

We’ll never stop calling January 6th a violent, armed insurrection incited by Donald Trump. Because that’s exactly what it was. Any attempt to deny that, is just plain anti-American propaganda.

Thanks Rick, I needed a shot of courage and more light shown on how complicity can reap havoc.
