Conservatism

Wilhoit’s law says that “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

One need only look and see what is going on in Tennessee and Montana as just two examples in the last few weeks to prove the truth of this law. It’s why we have gerrymandered electoral districts and Republicans calls to make voting more restricted and difficult.

I have to say there is nothing more hilarious than the party of Donald Trump crying about “decorum”, except for the fact that it’s all they can do to prevent Democrats from calling them out over their permissiveness over mass shootings and their cruel authoritarianism over transgender Americans.

It’s why the former Comptroller for Erie County – a guy who people used to like when he was on Channel 2 – posts things like this on his Twitter.

‘Cohen can’t remember how old his son is’: J.D. Vance days after Trump forgets son’s age



Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Monday joined a gaggle of Donald Trump defenders — including Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, (R-NY) and the ex-president’s son Eric Trump — at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse to attend the ongoing “hush money” trial.

At a press conference, Tuberville ranted against "supposedly American citizens" in the courtroom and claimed District Attorney Alvin Bragg is putting the former president through “mental anguish.”

Tuberville also said of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen: “This guy is giving an acting scene.”

Vance, in a series of tweets on X, assailed Cohen's credibility as a witness.

"Cohen can’t remember how old his son is or how old he was when he started to work for Trump but I’m sure he remembers extremely small details from years ago!" Vance wrote.

But his comment came just days after Trump, in an interview Thursday with Telemundo51, misstated son Barron Trump’s age as 17. Barron Trump turned 18 in March.

In that interview, Trump told reporter Marilys Llanos he’s “able to put [aside]” the ongoing trial and focus on “a lot of things at one time.”

“I’m very ambidextrous, so to speak,” Trump said last week.

Despite Trump’s claim that he’s able to compartmentalize the trial, allies like Vance are “[stepping] up attacks” in light of Merchan’s gag order — which the president has violated 10 times, NBC News reports.

“The president is expected to sit here for six weeks to listen to the Michael Cohens of the world,” Vance complained in his tweets. "I’m now convinced the main goal of this trial is psychological torture. But Trump is in great spirits."

The Ohio senator, a vice presidential contender, also appeared to defend Trump against claims he’s fallen asleep in the courtroom, The Arizona Republic reports.

"I’m 39 years old and I’ve been here for 26 minutes and I’m about to fall asleep," Vance wrote.

‘Be ashamed’: Trump again slams ‘any Jewish person’ who voted for Biden



Former President Donald Trump attacked Jewish Americans who voted for President Joe Biden on Thursday.

Before heading into his Manhattan hush-money trial, Trump complained to reporters after Biden said he would not provide Israel with offensive weapons if it invaded the city of Rafah in Gaza.

"What Biden is doing with respect to Israel is disgraceful," Trump said. "If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves."

"He's totally abandoned Israel, and nobody can believe it," he charged. "You have to do the right decision, not the political decision, but he did a very bad thing."

Trump also gave an update on his efforts to appeal New York Justice Juan Merchan's limited gag order.

"I just want to let you know that we've just filed a major motion in the appellate division concerning the absolutely unconstitutional gag order, where I'm essentially not allowed to talk to you about anything meaningful that's going on in the case, and many good things are going on with the case," he remarked.

Trump has made similar comments about Jewish voters supporting Biden in the past, claiming in March that they should be "ashamed."
