The Adventures of Dan Newhouse

Reading between the lines, but just barely, on the current electioneering tactics of the ten Republicans in the House who voted for Trump’s second Impeachment, and the cranky comment from the Trump Republican challenger appears about right. That they are shuffling about in a mutual aid compact, raising donations and handing it all amongst the other nine — so money is just going around a very small circle.

Sure… Newhouse claimed loud and clear that he was a conservative during his elections but has behaved more like the Democrat employee he was for eight years under Gov. Christine Gregoire.

And this… For all of those who support Newhouse I feel sorry for you. For all of those who support and voted for biden I wonder what kind of drugs you were on. Look at the mess this county has become since the brain dead basement hiding moron stole the election.

The responses “wow Fox News bot” — are behind the times. We are in OANN and Newsmax land.

It is actually amusing and intellectually confounding to see foreign press coverage describing American politics – so, for instance Britain’s liberal Guardian paper describes Republican split with fealty to Trump presented as the “right wing” position against more “moderates”. And I suppose there is something here in the sense of ” right is what the right does”, but I also understand when I see comments in, for instance, the comments section of the American Conservative describe Trump’s policy menu as essentially moderate or otherwise not strictly to the right of whatever had before regardless of toxic tweeting games and partisan fights. Trump has for the moment accomplished what was last accomplished by Franklin Roosevelt around 1936 in declaring the definition of Liberalism him.

So… Contract with America Part Deux?

“School choice, teaching American history for real, abolishing the ‘1619 Project,’ eliminating critical race theory and what the Texas legislature is doing,” Gingrich said regarding what might be included. “We should say, ‘Bring it on.’”

Those stated goals don’t sound like a positive message at all, noted Washington Post journalist Dave Weigel.

“Gingrich says a MAGA contract should be ‘positive’ and then lists one thing it will be for and three things it will be against,” Weigel noted on Twitter.

Many on the right have made similar attacks on ideas about how to better teach history in a more inclusive way. The “1619 Project” has come under particular fire from the right wing and white supremacists for its attempt to introduce a more in-depth examination of the history of slavery and racism in the U.S. to classrooms across the country.

Loaded terms indeed — also under fire by some leftists and Academics, and defended with some acknowledgement in mistakes in scholarship, but a “But that’s nothing when you look at the laughable 1776 Project” — and on to some dishonest whitewashing of what the original premise was.

But left vacant is the fiscal issues that speckled the original “Contract with America”, which I think I see New house picking up (what a national debt, huh?) and picking and choosing from the line of ” contract” complaints — surely immigration will be there, rhetorically splintering though.
