The Democrats' alternate universe

Trump's New Coup: Democrats Float Bizarre Conspiracy Theory to Explain the Beating They Are Going to Take in 2024

...

This is the basic story Gellman tells.

  • He holds to the fringe belief that the riot at the US Capitol on January 6 was an insurrection designed to keep President Trump in power. He believes the people who have been held in prison for nearly a year for the equivalent of a misdemeanor trespass citation are insurrectionists.
  • He saw nothing untoward with how the 2020 election was conducted and thought all attempts to make states follow their own voting laws rather than just making sh** up is a conspiracy to suppress voting.
  • President Trump is no longer Hitler; he is now Serbian strongman Slobodan Milošević.
...

Those people were at the demonstration not because President Trump held a Svengalian influence over them. They were there because they believed the 2020 election had been blatantly stolen. They weren’t angry because the election had been stolen per se; as Republicans, you get used to that happening, but because it was done so openly and in such an in-your-face manner designed to send a message that this would be the new normal.

The poll found that nearly two-thirds (65%) of GOP and Trump voters believe ballots were not counted accurately in 2020 (32% believe they were counted accurately) and 53% believe they will not be fairly counted next year, with 38% having confidence in the vote. Forty-seven percent of Republican and Trump voters are not confident that the candidates who got the highest number of votes were properly certified as the winners.

...

 In Gellman’s view, Republicans exercising legitimate constitutional authority is a coup.

...

There is much more in the alternate universe of Democrats who think following the constitution is unfair and a coup.  Gellman seems to think unraveling the Democrat rigging of an election is just not fair.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
