Also that tweet isn't racist. We've had about a decade of HIB visa fraud and tax payer funded universities actively discriminating against white students. Asking questions that highlight this reality is not racist.
Agree completely with you and with Sasha. Rove is being a dickhead for opposing everything the DNC currently stand for, but because he didn't like a tweet by a Republican, he says he's going to vote for the Democrat. I'll bet he won't. I'll bet he'll come to his senses and vote GOP or third party.
Regarding the tweet and the photo, I don't see anything wrong with it. For decades, Democrats and their talking heads in DNC-Media have been harping that white America will soon be a minority in America, due to mass migration of POCs and their higher rates of reproduction. I am sure this is true. So, what's a POP (Person of Pallor) supposed to think? If a POP brings it up, the Morally-Vain Community (MVC) accuses them of spreading the Great Replacement Theory (GRT). The GRT originated with the Democrats. Recognizing this and using photo evidence for support seems logical to me. The tweet itself is pretty neutral. It's being spun as if it's a call to action to oppose POC migrants, but it could just as well be a celebration that recent POC students love American football.
Right, WE know what the tweet was really about, but we also KNOW how the leftist media and DEMs will spin it to the drones of no critical thinking skills. Bo French shudda known better not to tweet that out, at least not in an election season.
Still, what ROVE did was much worse, and lets hope it buries what's left of his career from here on out.
No, he will vote for the Democrat. The Bushies have been over-the-moon angry ever since The Donald broke Baby Brother Jeb's campaign. Ol' Baldy and the Bushies want anyone Trump supports to be put in the stocks with rotten tomatoes handed out to passersby.
And the "outrage" that Paxton defeated George P Bush in the primary for Texas AG Republican nomination in 1922.
Paxton has been an incredibly effective AG on many issues--from culture issues like trans and boys in girl's sports, to election integrity, illegal immigration, against lawfare and for sensible economic and energy policies. He works very hard.
THAT is why the Left hates him, because unlike the ineffectual Cornyn, Paxton actually gets stuff done.
My guess is that George P Bush would have been yet another go along to get along RINO. (the kind that Rove apparently prefers.)
emphasis 'INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE'. I've never, EVER seen a state AG like Ken Paxton, and I'm old. He is clear-eyed about corruption, leftism, and wokeism, and he has the COURAGE to go after it all, head-first, and successfully. There is an ENORMOUS gulf of difference between him and Geo P. Bush, and especially Talacreepo.
We are all racist (sinners?), everyone of us. We are all leery of people who look, sound, or act differently / strangely / outside the cultural norm.
Racist probably isn’t the right word, but it gets used all the time because in the here and now it packs such an enormous political wallop (for whatever reason). It makes the accuser an instant winner and the accused an all time loser. The word is nuclear - no defense. Psyco-historians a century from now will not be able to understand the current power of the word racist, but they will be able to survey the various types of disproportionate damage done by those who wielded it like a knife.
There's a psychological phenomenon which is called "fear of the stranger."
As an example, it explains a person's unease at being the only passenger on a city bus who is of that person's race, but of course its manifestations in any person's life can be manifold.
There is nothing evil in it. God seems to have built clubbishness into the human soul unless this is a result of the Fall. The key, obviously, is to refuse to hate.
Indeed, the key is to differentiate an ancient instinct from the present moment. Evolution does, after all, take time. It is only humans who can perpetuate an instinct that should be devolving out of our existence.
It's pretty ffing obvious to anyone with half a brain that permanently mutilating and sterilizing a kid is worse than commenting inappropriately on a photograph of a football game. Daily Krap (oops, Kos) is just positioning themselves to get you on the defensive. Time to double down and challenge their ability to reason and judge actual facts. Anyone who hides behind the excuse of the photo to vote for a kid transer (and all Democrats are kid transers) while calling themselves a Republican, needs to be called out, as you so rightly did. There is no issue here. Feel free to quote my first sentence above when anyone challenges you. Stay on the offense!
That’s because they are obsessed with the idea that “words are violence”. Gee, why am I getting “1984” vibes?
They’re sick and twisted. They don’t care about the permanent physical scars and damage to actual children. It’s far more important to protect their brand as the “virtuous speakers “. Never mind that their actions are never actually virtuous. It’s allll about appearance with that side. They’ve lost their collective hive mind.
I’m so sorry you’re getting this ridiculous backlash, Sasha. Anyone who takes the time to legitimately read what you write knows you’re not a racist. Hold your head up high because you ARE actually virtuous.
P.S. So glad Jasper is on the mend! God bless him and Luna. And you, for being a good, decent, brave human being! ❤️
Exactly! With freedom of speech guaranteed in the Bill of Rights "speech" must be redefined. Thus words become violence. If words are no longer speech but violence, then it can be restricted. After all, no one is in favor of violence.
It's just more Leninist/Maoist "what is moral is what advances the Party" codswallop. Speech they don't like is violence, but violence that advances the Party is speech.
Rove — remember «Karl Rove’s Brain? (Bush’s Brain)» — is an original TDS political advocate. Married to the Bush family and his whiteboard to explain to hick Republicans why they are wrong, wrong, wrong to step out of line and vote for sanity, progress, and Trump.
personally, i feel like the left referring to someone as maga is the "most extreme" in their playbook, which, again, i find hilarious. it the apex of their identity insults, to be "maga" in their book is worse than being "right wing" or even "far right wing." and being "maga" is one and the same with being a "fascist" in their book, even though they've always used the word erroneously and in classic fashion, tried to redefine its meaning.
...I want to congratulate Sasha for getting the Daily Kos to extend the Cheney Redemption to Karl Rove! Well done ...
...talk about yer mental gymnastics ... from the Daily Kos ... " repeat, Sasha—we should not tolerate open racism from our elected officials." DK, 09/22/26
...sooooo ... ""so do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no..."." ... El-Sayed goes?
They equated a value judgment about racism with a value judgment about a single tweet. You were asserting that transing kids is worse than a putatively racist tweet, not that transing kids is worse than racism. This is such an epic failure of logic on their part; it's downright depressing for the prospects of our society.
He’s joining the likes of Tucker Carlson & other so called ‘conservatives’ who are really pushing big government, socialist ideas in order to gain power & destroy maga.
Exactly. We used to say it's "willful ignorance" but it is deception, and it is simply part of their playbook. For the left, the "Ends justify the means," all day long.
To the left it’s always Mississippi 1955 and “racism” is a huge problem that explains every bad thing. On trans they’re up to about 2015, with apparently zero knowledge of the now well-documented downsides of transing kids. Leftists love pointing to Europe as being superior to the US, but they seem to have missed the news that most of Europe has stopped transing kids.
Yes! I looked at the blog Sasha's responding to and could not believe the comments by people utterly denying the entire debacle that has come of the idea of helping disturbed children into the delusion that they can choose their biological sex. I wonder if they had a book burning celebration over piles of Hannah Barnes's book "Time to Think", and Abigail Shrier's book "Irreversible Damage"--both exceptionally well researched with first-hand accounts. The meme of the ostrich's head buried in the sand comes to mind except that's a metaphorical joke, and this is about deadly serious immoral maltreatment of mentally ill minors.
I hate to break it to these folks, but I face more racism in my workplace every day (I’m white, the place is over 90% ethnic, including management) than any of those kids have ever faced in America.
Direct, open racism is allowed against only one group. And that is a far cry from Bo French’s comment that said nothing, but everyone understood…because everyone feels the same unease.
Not wanting to live in an Indian city or culture is just normal. Not only is it simple ethno-homogeneity, like everyone wants, whether they admit it or not, but have you been to India? Do you want to live in a low-trust society that is desperately poor and split up into ethnic groups that all hate each other? And, India is startlingly dirty even today.
No. Of course you don’t want to live there. Or you’d live there.
And, I’m not going to get into how it feels to be from middle America (both geographical, social, and economic) and see colleges filled with foreigners or Johnny-come-latelys while American universities are proudly announcing that only 9% of their admissions are to white males.
This isn’t some movie or tv show. Racism as the left imagines it hasn’t existed in the United States in my life (I’m 56). Fifteen years ago, the whole idea had become a joke. Gen X was raised in an environment of treating everyone the same, and in good Gen X fashion, that meant calling a POS a POS and treating everyone else decently.
But there was no political capital in that.
As I pointed out multiple times when I was a Democrat, the left won on every cultural issue. It was time to get back to the economy. But you can’t do that if you are in on the grift. If you are just another elite or wannabe elite, free money stolen from the working and working middle class is just too easy.
If you are still too worried about what people think about you to actually admit the truth, please don’t comment. You’re a dinosaur. Maybe your strange racialist beliefs meant something fifty years ago, but they don’t correlate with reality today.
I have been to India, and you are correct, it is not pretty. I watched a garbage truck pick up the trash one day from the street (literally). The truck was very similar to those used in the States, however instead of picking up the garbage cans and pouring them in the back, the driver parked the truck, got out of the cab and proceeded to scoop up the trash from the street and sidewalk with a scoop shovel (like a grain shovel) and shovel it into the truck. There were no trash cans, no dumpsters, the trash was just thrown on the sidewalk and street.
I've never been to India but have seen documentaries from the comfort of my (clean) home. Have you seen the Ganges River? They throw everything in there, including dead bodies.
That’s perfectly fine and safe. Certainly not an eye-(or nose)sore, or a public health hazard, nor likely to attract rats, flies, stray animals, and whatnot.
Advocating for “gender-affirming” care for children who are not of the legal age to sign off on informed consent should be criminal. Oh, wait, it used to be.
Cicero said “What society does to its children, so its children will do to society.”
Surely, this will not bode well for society at large.
Gee, another cheap shot from the left. Whodathunkit? Another quote twisted out of context to imply some sinister meaning.
That’s their go to playbook. Impugn someone’s morals no matter the ethical lapses required to make the claim. Set them all straight, Sasha. You are the best.
Who cares if "they" call us names?BFD call me whatever you want. I'm old enough to remember the old adage about sticks and stones. You know back in the day when your parents taught you to stand up for yourself and not be cowed by bullies.
Idiots like Rove vote for their own demise. There's very very clearly a lesser of two evils this election, never been clearer.
People like Karl Rove are reason things have gotten where we are. Tolerance has become anything goes to the point of sickness and debauchery
On point as always Sasha. How can anything trump sterilizing and mutilating children? Racism is bad; but come on people (that's you Daily Kos), we are supposed to protect children!
Totally agree with you, Sasha! And, Rove hasn’t been a dependable Republican since Trump became president the first time. He & his buddy, Bush 2, are elites & swamp members— big disappointments & I know longer am interested in them.
Amen sister!! This trans cult IS medical malpractice, barbaric, evil, and leftist. Modern day eunuchs. The divide between the left n right agenda is colossal. The left is plain evil these days.
Also that tweet isn't racist. We've had about a decade of HIB visa fraud and tax payer funded universities actively discriminating against white students. Asking questions that highlight this reality is not racist.
I didn’t think it was racist either. Just an observation
Agree completely with you and with Sasha. Rove is being a dickhead for opposing everything the DNC currently stand for, but because he didn't like a tweet by a Republican, he says he's going to vote for the Democrat. I'll bet he won't. I'll bet he'll come to his senses and vote GOP or third party.

For decades, Democrats and their talking heads in DNC-Media have been harping that white America will soon be a minority in America, due to mass migration of POCs and their higher rates of reproduction.

The GRT originated with the Democrats. Recognizing this and using photo evidence for support seems logical to me. The tweet itself is pretty neutral. It's being spun as if it's a call to action to oppose POC migrants, but it could just as well be a celebration that recent POC students love American football.

I disagree. We need the sensorial heebie jeebies. It's a fallen world.
Good comment!
racially aware. Even Jesse Jackson confessed to being relieved when he saw that the people trailing him down the sidewalk after dark were white.
I think the logical fallacy is called “false dichotomy”
Hi Sasha,

If Rove is voting Democrat he is voting for racism as well as transing the kids.
Rove has not been a Republican for a long time. I doubt he was one during the Bush terms even.
Funny but eventually all the RINOs and Never Trumpers 'out' themselves, and ROVE just confirmed it in a BIG WAY. Adios Karl RINO Rove.
Rove has tds like the other so called R’s. He Couldn’t handle Trump beating the crap out of Jeb Bush back in 2016.
Actually Rove is the very model of what the Republicans have been for longer than anyone realized until recently.
Rove — remember «Karl Rove’s Brain? (Bush’s Brain)» — is an original TDS political advocate. Married to the Bush family and his whiteboard to explain to hick Republicans why they are wrong, wrong, wrong to step out of line and vote for sanity, progress, and Trump.
Great point!
i think it's kinda hilarious that they called you a "maga" blogger!
That's how this game is played. Next, she'll be a "right wing blogger", then "far right wing blogger", then "fascist blogger".
personally, i feel like the left referring to someone as maga is the "most extreme" in their playbook, which, again, i find hilarious. it the apex of their identity insults, to be "maga" in their book is worse than being "right wing" or even "far right wing." and being "maga" is one and the same with being a "fascist" in their book, even though they've always used the word erroneously and in classic fashion, tried to redefine its meaning.
Accusing a MAGA of being a MAGA is not an insult to MAGA. I would answer, "Why yes, I do want to make America great. Thank you!"
don't forget "Nazi blogger."

Can we trans the Daily Kos to become human and somewhat decent?
Impossible

Yes. Indians used to fish bodies out of their sacred river, boil the flesh off, and sell the skeletons for use in schools in the developed world.
I’m not sure when that ended, but I know they were made of resin when I was in third grade in the late seventies.
That’s perfectly fine and safe. Certainly not an eye-(or nose)sore, or a public health hazard, nor likely to attract rats, flies, stray animals, and whatnot.
