A Short Lesson in Reading the Defense
I’ll keep this brief: Today provided some convenient material for demonstrating just how to assess your play calling strategy from the line of scrimmage in today’s ultra politicized game world.
The first comes from the propaganda spread at the top of the morning Yahoo Finance page. Aside from the asinine, fill-in-the-blank statement on early market activity, the other headlines almost always contain a tell and/or planted language to guide the browsing idiots. (Hint: Don’t ever read the articles, the headlines are brain numbing enough.) Earlier this year there were several moronic stories about how there is no downside to student debt forgiveness. Today we were greeted with a sure sign that our non-beltway special teams are undoubtedly doing something right:
Well, at least two or three are pulling a large part of the load. More need to join in…and soon.
On the other side of the coin, there are times when you break the huddle and, before you get to the line, you notice that one of your own players is lining up with the other team:
Liz Cheney Weighs in on Pelosi’s Refusing GOP for Jan. 6 Committee
So she wasn’t just saying that she’s agreeing with Pelosi, she’s not denying she might have been behind the suggestion. …
…she completely a minion of Pelosi, which she’s not hiding it at this point… Anyone that ever had any sympathy for this person should take a look at what she’s become now and learn a lesson. She needs to be removed from any committees she’s on and she needs to get primaried into next week. Having Cheney on the Committee doesn’t make it bipartisan. It makes it fully craven people serving the Democratic cause.
I would say that even stronger action is required for this pathetic turncoat…she must not be a part of any future huddle for Team R:
Republicans Have One Move Left to Make Regarding Liz Cheney and They Better Make It
Republicans have one move left to make – remove Cheney from the GOP caucus.
This foolishness has gone on long enough. It was one thing to obsess over on January 6th. It’s another to lock arms with Nancy Pelosi, endorsing her ridiculously staffed committee, in order to backstab Republicans who are being denied a seat at the table. …
[Emphasis added]
If nothing else, removing one turncoat now may help flush some of the others…YES, THERE WILL BE OTHERS…out into the open sooner rather than later. The time is ripe for some housecleaning before 2022:
Be warned: Loyalties to the establishment are stronger and more widespread than most care to imagine. [These people] were bought and paid for long ago…and, in the right situations, it shows very plainly on their faces:

If we had the Canadian system, Trump would have been kicked out of the party within a week of the start of his campaign when he spoke about Mexican rapists, and Trump not not preferring war heroes who had been captured.
Also, the Prime Minister is the person voted for by other members of parliament. Trump would not have been chosen.
Finally, it is much easier in a parliamentary system to start new parties. The Trump Republican Party would have died, and new Conservative Party would have been born.
A partial rundown of the roster of Liz Cheney’s
newchosen team:And a closing remark from the good Professor:
Remember, their loyalties and agenda are much different than ours (well, most of “us” anyway).
Republican Adam Kinzinger has been added to the 1/6 committee along with Republican Liz Cheney. It is a bi-partisan committee seeking to get to the bottom of the Capitol Riot.
See what I mean?
Pelosi’s removal of Banks and Jordan has never happened in history, reportedly.
Of course, some of these lessons can be applied on a more local level. A good example would be blatant narrative pushing (as in ripped from the MSNBC headlines) like using the inclusion of a lone turncoat like Liz Cheney to attempt to label this committee as “bi-partisan.” Such a claim is so intellectually hollow that anyone but an Arizona Democrat would likely be too embarrassed to post such a comment.
Yet another turd in the comment section of my post. So be it…but still taking notes.
Illinois Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger has also been named to that now twice as bi-partisan committee.
The Committee Hearings of this bi-partisan committee will be starting tomorrow. Will you be watching?
Turd #3. Trolling hard this week.
Kinzinger has to go for a TV contract because of redistricting. TV is one of Cheney’s options given the political path she has chosen.
I just saw a tweet from knowledgeable guy from Illinois. He says that Kinzinger is going for a statewide office.
