My latest update from the campaign trail
Update: Two of the videos disappeared, so I found new ones and did some tweaking to my commentary.
COLLECTIVIZATION: It’s a Left wing ethos – Sumantra Maitre writes at The Federalist, “The coalescing of the Democratic field behind Joe Biden just ahead of Super Tuesday, with the message discipline and precision of a Soviet Central Committee, is a testament to the fact that not those on the right but those on the left are mechanical in support of their candidates.
“Compare it with the 2016 cycle, and you’d see there was simply no such elite establishment machinations on the right during elections. The right, for good or for bad, is comparatively freer and more welcoming to anti-establishment ideas and personalities. The left leaders, on the other hand, will form a Roman phalanx behind a lamppost if that lamppost is their candidate.
“Consider the fact that there is still a formal Never Trump crew. There will unlikely ever be a formal Never Bernie or Never Biden.”
ANDREW KLAVAN: On the demise of Fauxcahontas’ candidacy which of course was due entirely to sexism – “Democrat pundits lamented that we now probably won’t get a female president in their lifetime. When it was pointed out that Nikki Haley could win the presidency in 2024, Democrats objected that Haley was not a woman but a Republican. Then they retired behind closed doors to change the rules so that Tulsi Gabbard couldn’t get into the next debate.”
SLOW JOE: The more he campaigns, the harder it is to write off his gaffes as typical Joe-isms.
While campaigning Saturday in Missouri, he continued to slur and at moments was barely intelligible.
RUDE JOE: Biden threatens to slap a voter and take his “AR-14”, also tells him “you’re full of sh**” and “don’t such a horse’s ass.”
- AR-14 = An extremely rare precursor that Armalite designed before the popular AR-15.
- AR-14 = The AR-14 DEW (Directed Energy Weapon) Assault Rifle was an infantry weapon used by The Royal Allegiance during the Swarm War of the 28th century.
CLINTON DOCUMENTARY: Trailer which I didn’t watch [2:09] – I saw a small clip from the documentary that refused to post in which Bill talks about how hard he worked to save his marriage after Monica. It still makes makes me gag to think about how he seduced a White House intern his daughter’s age and was intimate with her in the Oval Office.
I remember how loyal Democrats dismissed it all as “just sex” and “nobody’s business”, then reacted with moral “he’s unfit to serve” outrage over the very idea that Trump might have paid a professional hooker to get laid, long before he ever announced he was running, then paid her off with his own money to keep her trap shut.
And, oh yes, Monica Lewinsky was forced into hiding after Bill ruined her life vs. Stormy Daniels who took the money, signed the NDA, then hired a lawyer to try and make even more money by pimping out the “shocking” tale that she’s a low life who will do anything for a buck.
And need I remind anyone that legislators have been molesting and paying off victims for years … while in office … and using OUR MONEY?

The two magically disappearing videos were both unflattering clips about leading Democrats that were posted to Facebook. Usually, I have no problem cross posting successfully from Facebook … and those videos showed up when I originally posted this 2020. Today, when I reviewed it (something I always do before starting a new day’s work), they were pfft GONE. Stinkin’ Facebook.

Until I got tight on data storage, and especially when I was doing video memes, I would download a lot of YouTube videos. Some of them were later yanked so I was glad I did. I don’t have Googoyle’s massive data farm, or I’d’ve downloaded about everything remotely banworthy from YouTube, Twitter, or FaceBook. But, even at low resolutions, video data adds up fast.
That advice as old as the Internet: If you see something really important that you think might ‘expire,’ grab it before it’s gone. We’ll find a gigabyte somewhere to store it.
y2mate.com allows YouTube and other sources video downloading.
Cool tip: add ‘pp’ after ‘youtube’ in a URL, goes directly to y2mate.
downloadtwittervideo.com – I’ll give you one guess what this site lets you do.
onlinevideoconverter.com will get most videos, including facebook and vimeo, but not YouTube anymore, for some reason.
And, of course, if it’s a picture-and-words not video item you want to preserve, do a screen-grab. (Your ‘how?’ on that is between user and browser.)
