Waiting for the Geek Show

photog Current Events, Trump , , ,

Thursday is the circus.  Everyone is at a fever pitch.  The newspapers and the cable news have many articles with advice for Joe Biden on how to deflect the questions away from his record in office and concentrate on fortifying our democracy against Trump.

Well, of course they are.  Would anyone expect Tapper or Bash to say anything that doesn’t begin with “convicted felon Trump?”  Of course not.  So, the only truly entertaining way to experience this fun house ride is with a sufficiently large wet bar or a smorgasbord of your favorite snack foods.  I hope to convince Camera Girl to make a few pounds of pastrami and swiss cheese into a bunch of hot sandwiches and add a pot of good coffee to wash it down.

Now I don’t expect any good coming from this Punch and Judy show.  CNN’s questions won’t even be questions.  They’ll just point at Trump and shriek “racist.”  They may ask Biden in soothing terms how he’s managed to stand up to the horror of having to confront the bogeyman but other than that it will be a straight up witch trial.

One thing I am curious to see.  They have said that they will shut off Trump’s mike during Biden’s answers.  I wonder if they will shut off Trump’s mike during his own answers if they think he’s ignoring their questions.  For instance.  Suppose they ask Trump to apologize for January 6th and instead he ignores this and slams Biden on all the problems his administration has; inflation, crime, interest rates, illegal immigration, lack of affordable housing.  I wonder if they’ll shut off his mike and claim he wasn’t following the debate questions.  I imagine if they do that Trump will show his disapproval by miming that his time is being wasted by pointing to his wrist watch.

But other than something like that I don’t assume it’ll be at all interesting.  Biden will be bellowing and shaking his fists and looking agitated.  Trump will look disgusted and disapproving.  And the moderators will look smug and bovine.

I want to watch the whole thing in case something interesting happens.  However, ninety minutes of this might be a little too much.  But what has me trying for the end is the thought that ninety minutes might push Dementia Joe too far on his meds.  Think about it.  They may be afraid to give him enough Adderall to keep him buzzed that long.  In which case he may lapse into gibberish and tales of Uncle Bosey.  Or if they do give him the full dose maybe it’ll just plain finish him off.

Here are some of the side effects from Adderall overdose:

• Restlessness.
• Agitation.
• Tremor.
• Exaggerated reflexes.
• Confusion.
• Panic.
• Aggression.
• Paranoia.
• Hallucinations.
• Elevated body temperature.
• Fast breathing.
• Irregular heartbeat.
• Tachycardia.
• Hypertension or other changes in blood pressure.
• Chest pain.
• Abdominal cramps.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Diarrhea.
• Convulsions.
• Coma.

Half of those symptoms already sound like regular Biden.  So, I’m just hanging in there to see if we hit the jackpot.  If during the third half-hour Joe lets his angry old man act get out of hand, he may just go into vapor lock and faceplant right there on the podium.

I mean that would be the ultimate Biden moment.  And if he revives let’s see Haitian Shirley Temple try to convince us that going into cardiac arrest is just a deep fake.  I’d love to see her try.

“Mr. Chairman, I Nominate President Joe Biden’s Reanimated Corpse”

photog Biden Humor, Current Events, Humor , , , ,

I think a consensus is growing that Joe Biden is one of the “walking dead.”  Okay, maybe technically he’s still alive.  He hasn’t equilibrated to room temperature or anything but essentially he’s a mindless zombie, animated by some occult power that is directly or indirectly tied to voodoo.

And with this consensus comes the necessity of renaming him.  Currently all newscasters make a point of referring to the president as “President Joe Biden.”  It’s never “President Biden.”   It’s as if they’re afraid we might confuse him with some other President Biden.  Perhaps they’re leaving out hope for an eventual President Hunter Biden.  Who knows?

Well, fine, now I want to give him an even more specific name.  I want him designated as “President Joe Biden’s reanimated corpse.”  I think this formulation captures perfectly all of the facets of Biden.  He’s not only Biden, he’s not only the president, but he’s also a zombie in good standing.  Just watching him shambling along moaning, falling down and befouling himself upholds the finest traditions of the classic zombie profile.  And the deathly pallor, vacant stare and incoherent muttering calls up flashbacks of George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead.

And in honor of Biden’s homage to this classic film I want to urge that all of Joe’s voters show up on election night dressed as zombies in order to signal their solidarity with our Undead Guy in Chief.  Show up disheveled, spattered in blood and dirt and clutching a half-eaten forearm.  Proudly support the ghoulish incumbent and feel free to gibber and moan when asked which district you’re from.  But at least have the decency to have your driver’s license when you show up.  Don’t be a jerk and waste everybody’s time.

Hopefully the media will have the good sense to arrange a third presidential debate on October 31st.  Only on Halloween will the reanimated corpse of Joe Biden truly reach his full potential and perform at his full capacity.  My hope is that the moderator will be Don Lemon and Undead Joe lives up to his full potential by wandering over to the moderator’s table and devouring Lemon on live tv.  Honestly I think that would be Lemon’s finest hour and it couldn’t hurt Biden’s numbers either.

Regardless of your opinion of Joe vis-a-vis the whole breathing and heart beating thing, you’ll have to agree that we’ve moved into a whole new era with respect to presidential candidates.  Even during Bill Clinton’s time in office we expected the candidates to be lucid, somewhat eloquent and healthy enough to stand on their feet for an hour or two without collapsing or losing control of their sphincters.

Those no longer seem to be necessary.  Anyone who’s watched any of the Biden “glitches” knows that at any moment he can start spouting gibberish or lock up while some normally autonomic function of his body fails and leaves him frozen in place like a mannequin.

I guess what has happened is that president is now a figurehead for the Deep State that runs the executive branch departments and decides on the policies that control the nation.  Okay, let’s say it out loud.  Joe doesn’t really decide anything.  The people who pull his strings do that.  Maybe that makes it easier to pull that lever.

The Great Debate of July 2024

photog Biden Humor, Current Events, Humor, Trump , ,

“Hello my name is Anderson Cooper and you are tuned into the first presidential debate between our beloved President Joe Biden and “convicted felon” and cartoon super-villain Donald Trump.  Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will be presiding over this incredible spectacle.

CNN has gone to great lengths to be both totally impartial but also relentlessly opposed to misinformation.  To that end Mr. Trump’s microphone is programmed to shut off whenever the moderators decide he is guilty of misinformation.  There was a debate about also attaching electrodes to Mr. Trump that would apply a punishing electric current in the event of multiple attempts at misinformation but it was decided that wouldn’t be legal, so you know.

I’ll come back after the debate with reactions from a test audience but right now let’s go to the debate as it begins.”

Dana: Good evening gentlemen, and you too Mr. Trump.  Our first question is for President Joe Biden.  Mr. President, out of all the amazing successes that you’ve had as president; conquering COVID, restoring the economy to incredible vibrance, fixing climate change, destroying racism and transphobia and curing cancer, what do you think is your greatest accomplishment?

Biden:  That’s a great question Dana.  I remember that time I was at Potsdam with Churchill, Truman and Stalin.  I had just beaten Stalin in an arm-wrestling contest and he had agreed to dismantle the Soviet Union in 1991 and I was feeling kind of good.  But I think all of that pales in comparison to that time I taught my son Hunter how to run a Ukrainian energy conglomerate.  He had been having some slight troubles with crack cocaine and I knew that learning the ropes of drilling and extracting oil and gas in Easten Europe would clear his head.  It’s like my Uncle Bosie always used to say, before he was eaten by New Guinean cannibals, “Always tell the truth and don’t take any guff from dog-faced pony soldiers.

Dana: Inspiring words to live by Mr. President.  Well, Donald Trump, you don’t have any accomplishments to name so instead let’s hear what you have to say about your high crimes and misdemeanors.  Are you most ashamed of your hush money conviction, your January 6th insurrection or your attempts to steal classified documents?

Trump: I’m most ashamed of having agreed to this charade.  You nitwits are going to try to sell the American people on the fantasy of Joe Biden being in his right mind.  That’s not going to work.  He’s delusional and barely able to speak coherent English for more than two minutes at a time.

Biden: Now hold on you dog-faced pony oldier, I’ll ake you hind the arn and ock some sense int ou and moulbi woudle foad mobe saiden ray.  Come on man!  You know.  The thing!

Trump: You see?  What the hell is a moulbi woudle?  The man is one step away from the memory ward at Happy Acres.

Jake: Listen Trump, we all recognize the incredible courage of President Biden for being America’s first zombie president.  Many of the recently deceased suffer from the prejudices and misinformation that unenlightened individuals such as yourself spread about them.

We’re here to make sure he gets an even playing field.  With the correct translation programs and subtitling “moulbi woudle” becomes, “set the record straight.”

Trump: Alright that’s enough.  You can do the rest of this without me.

Jake: That’s right and we will.  Our AI video program will provide us with an accurate version of what you would have said if you had stayed.

Trump: Deep fake?

Jake:  Potato, puhtata.

Trump: That’s about right.  Joe is some kind of vegetable anyway.  Well, I wouldn’t have lasted the whole ninety minutes anyway.  That smell is more than I can stand.

Cannibals Ate My Debate with Donald Trump

photog Current Events , , ,

Donald Trump has agreed to a debate Joe Biden with every possible unfair advantage going to Biden.  It will be on CNN with no live audience and the moderators will be his worst enemies and they will be able to cut off his microphone if they don’t like what he is saying.  It’s as bad as it can get in terms of stacking the deck against Trump.

So, you have to ask yourself why Trump would agree to this.  My guess is that he believes that Biden can’t get through the proceedings without an embarrassing health problem of one sort or another.  Based on all of his latest attempts at outdoor personal appearances, it seems like Biden has become alarmingly incontinent.  In addition, Biden’s memory is now completely unreliable.  And so, he is dependent on teleprompters to get him through routine speeches and question and answer events.  Between these two conditions it seems highly likely that in a stressful and unpredictable event like a debate with Donald Trump, really bad things could happen.

It seems to me there is a definite risk that Trump could end up “losing” these debates.  If the people running the debate control the feed, they can obfuscate any number of embarrassing moments and could even hide certain unfair practices that they allow Biden to benefit from.  For instance, by controlling what the camera is showing they can hide the fact that an outside source could provide Biden with a tele prompted or voice in ear answer to a statement by Trump.  Now Trump and his people know this.  So, they are taking a chance that Biden’s team which includes both his own handlers and the CNN technicians could manipulate the video enough to make it seem as if Joe Biden won the debate.  And yet Trump’s willing to go down this road.  I have to assume he thinks the potential upside of a Biden catastrophe is likely enough to risk the probable downside of a successful manipulation.

I’ve got mixed feelings about the whole thing.  I would have demanded, if not an even playing field, then at least one of the moderators being from the Right.  Tucker Carlson would have been the obvious choice.  But I’ll be watching the debates hoping to see Joe Biden break into tongues or fall over his feet or run off the stage to have his diaper changed.  I may be sorely disappointed.  Maybe Joe makes it through unscathed or maybe the moderators manage to make Trump look bad by stacking the deck against him with Stormy Daniels and “convicted felon” non-questions.  But if Donald Trump is willing to buck the odds to score a knockout blow against the already wobbly Dementia Joe, then I should invest the time to watch this crazy bit of stagecraft.

Who knows we all might be watching a bit of history where fate steps in and decides the outcome.  I’ve got the two hours to spend.  I might even make some popcorn to make it fun.

Selling Biden

photog Current Events , ,

The Democrats have discovered they have a Biden problem.  Actually, two Biden problems.  The bigger problem is that his presidency is an unmitigated dumpster fire.  The smaller problem, but still a large one if you can’t rest on the laurels of a successful term in office, is that he’s a creepy weirdo who lies constantly.

In 2020 Biden ran against what COVID had done to the country.  All Biden had to do was sit in the bunker and blame Donald Trump for everything the Left had done in 2020.  They orchestrated the Goerge Floyd riots and they used COVID to wreck the economy and hold us prisoner for two years.  And then they used COVID to institute absentee ballots and drop boxes and before you knew it, we got President Biden.

Well, Biden got his four years of misery and trying to use debt spending to prop up the economy and now he’s made a hash of it and we’ve got runaway inflation.  And the George Floyd riots have metastasized into a permanent breakdown of law and order.

So, the Democrats have destroyed the two things America was known for; prosperity and order.  And now they have to run on that record.  Oops!

But Plan B is running on Joe Biden’s likeability.  Imagine being handed that assignment; of putting together that ad campaign.  Even Don Draper himself would throw up his hands and run away.

Just last week the Democrats wanted to put together a satirical ad where Biden challenges Trump to debates.  And even though the commercial was only fifteen seconds long they needed something like five cuts to patch together usable video of the stuttering, muttering Biden.  He’s become a living embodiment of the fictional computer-generated Max Headroom with his glitching, stuttering delivery.

But it’s not just his failing speech center and other brain functions that’s the problem.  If he were this normal human that was slowly descending into senility there might be a kind of sympathy for his condition, a rooting for the underdog.  But Biden is not a likeable guy.  He’s repellant.  His various acts have been on display for decades and none of them is attractive.

Probably his defining characteristic is dishonesty.  He lies about his record.  He lies about his motivations.  He lies about his qualifications.  He lies about individual facts that are easily verifiable.  Just a few days ago he claimed that when he took over in January of 2021 the inflation rate was 9%.  In point of fact, it was 1.4%.  And then he finished off by saying that now he had brought the rate back down to 3% which is also a lie.  So, when various Democrat talking heads talk about Biden building trust with voters it’s a little hard to imagine how that would happen.

If I were the Republicans, I’d run commercials made out of nothing but video of Biden lying.  Lying about COVID, lying about crime, lying about the economy, lying about the Ukraine, lying about Hunter, lying about his own political record. And then just lying about anything at random, like cannibals eating his Uncle Bosey.

Wait, I take that back.  They should also make some commercials showing video of him sidling up to women and children.  Fondling them, sniffing their hair and standing way too close to them when they can’t escape his clutches.  And then someone can read what his daughter said about him showering with her when she was a teenager.  That would be the perfect way to let the voters get to know the real Joe Biden.

The Biden-Trump Debates

photog Current Events , , ,

Donald Trump has agreed to debate Joe Biden twice.  Once in July on CNN and once in September on ABC.  Why would he agree to go on those networks where every moderator they will select will run the debate as blatantly against Trump as they possibly can?  They’ll shamelessly tilt the questions for Biden and against Trump.  They’ll cut out his microphone whenever it might save Biden from an embarrassing moment and they’ll end by declaring that their in-studio polls show that Joe Biden won handily and Donald Trump is Hitler.

Now all of this is true.  And Donald Trump knows all these things.  And yet he accepted the debates immediately.  I’ll assume that he believes that he has more to gain by these debates than lose.  But is that true?  I was thinking about what kinds of things the moderator could direct against Trump and score points against him.  Obviously, they’ll concentrate on January 6th and abortion.  But they might also throw in some COVID questions.  After all, many on the Right are fairly angry at Trump for letting Fauci and his minions make our lives hell even before Biden got into office.  Reminding people of that could be a way to hurt Trump.

Someone in the media suggested that Trump hasn’t completely agreed to all the conditions of the interviews and that he might still refuse at the last minute.  Maybe that’s true and could explain why he has no qualms about being set up by the news channels.  But refusing after the fact would represent an embarrassing retreat.  People might think he’s afraid to debate Biden.

Two possibilities for accepting seem to me the most likely.  The first is that he’s worried about his chances in the race and hopes for some kind of lucky break during the debate that would increase his chances of winning the election.  Although Trump has led almost throughout the election period there are still several swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin that are very close.  And Trump needs at least one of these states to win.  Maybe he thinks that these three states are among the ones that will be strongly influenced by a good debate performance.  Because of how much Trump has at stake in the criminal cases against him, winning the presidency is almost a life and death situation for him.  Maybe the extra chance to impress these voters seems extremely important to Trump for this reason.

A second reason why he may be so anxious to debate Biden is that he is convinced that he can utterly humiliate him on the debate stage and this will serve as the knockout punch for Biden’s candidacy.  I think this may be the more likely reason.

Now it remains to be seen how all this turns out.  After all this is a very dynamic scenario.  Let’s start out just by looking at Joe Biden’s health.  Based on how these things are handled by the Biden camp, Dopey Joe will be doped to the gills with some kind of cognitive booster; caffeine, amphetamines, Ritalin, whatever.  Based on no information at all, my guess is Joe stroking out must be at least a reasonably high possibility.  And even if he doesn’t keel over there’s no guarantee that the stuff coming out of his mouth won’t be in the, “cannibals ate my Uncle Bosey” level of daffiness.  If either of those two scenarios play out, I’d call it a win for Trump.

But the opposite scenario can also occur.  Biden could just stand there and spin lie after lie with absolute insouciance.  This would match up to what happened back in the 2020 debates.  The moderators took Biden’s side and his lies ended as the debate’s points against Trump in the press.

But things have changed quite a bit since 2020.  Regardless if the moderators throw softballs at Biden, I assume Trump will go off script and attack Biden on all the various failures of his administration; inflation, immigration, crime and war.  And Trump is one of the most vindictive guys around.  With a little luck he’ll sting him enough so that Biden will take off on some self-justifying lie that will amaze even the moderators in its stupidity and obvious unlikeliness.  Maybe that’s Trump’s biggest hope in all this. That he can wind up Biden enough to make him act like a nut on stage.

So, I’ll be watching in July.  Should be interesting.

Unbridled Enthusiasm 2024 Version

photog Current Events , ,

I must be getting progressively more addlepated.  Even though I’ve seen up close and personal how Washington and the Democrats produce the outcomes they want, even after just seeing Mike Johnson fold like a cheap suit and give the people in charge everything they demanded; zillions of dollars for the neo-cons and gestapo powers for the FBI, somehow, I’ve become afflicted with unbridled enthusiasm.  And the only reason is because everywhere I look, more and more people are looking at Joe Biden and saying, “You’ve got be kidding me!”

Now, this “everywhere” doesn’t include hardcore regime mouthpieces like Morning Joe Scarborough or Rachel Maddow, but even some Democrats are beginning to realize that Joe Biden as a presidential candidate is a travesty.  He’s a walking corpse whose every unscripted speech will include absurdities up to and including the classic, “cannibals ate my uncle Bosey.

Now sure the powers that be don’t care what the consensus is, in the country.  A poll could come out two days before the election that has Trump up twenty points in every swing state and after the obligatory two weeks, they would unashamedly have Joe Biden win by a handful of votes in each of those states.  They can do it, so they will do it.  It’s as simple as that.

But if and when that happens then this will be the 1990s Soviet Union and it will usher in the end of this regime.  When the lies become so blatant that nobody even pretends to believe them anymore then the end is near.  Because with nothing to fear they will begin the full-scale looting of the system and with no value left in it, the supports will collapse.

What will that look like?  If I were to guess I’d say hyperinflation and food riots.  Now why should I be enthusiastic about all this?  Because maybe the powers that be aren’t as crazy as the people they’ve hired to run their circus.  The people in the FBI, the State Department and the IRS are true believers who play their parts but can get carried away.  Higher up in the echelons of power there may be some people with a better understanding of the stakes that are at risk and maybe a better understanding of social and economic factors that come into play when people realize they are being manipulated and lied to.  And they just might back away from the road we’re on.  But even if they don’t reaching the end of this road is a step in the right direction.

I admit there’s nothing very cheering in what is likely to go on during the 2024 election.  I expect massive electoral fraud with absentee ballots.  I expect Joe Biden will be re-elected.  But I think that will be an ending.    No one will be able to take American presidential elections seriously after that.  The whole process will be akin to professional wrestling or television talent shows; strictly entertainment or as people are saying it lately performative.

At that point half of this country will know that their prosperity is in their own hands and will be despite what the federal government does and not because of it.  And that is where we have to get to.  At that point, action by the red states will become the crucial news of the day and what will be discussed and voted on by the citizens who don’t want to be swallowed up by globalists human extinction program.  And once enough people are thinking in those terms progress toward something better will begin.

“My Uncle Bosey was eaten by cannibals.”

Scranton Joe Biden on the Stump

photog Biden Humor, Current Events, Humor, Trump ,

Ladies and Gentlemen, I come before you today to remind you that you have a choice.  You can either vote for me; humble, lovable Joe Biden or for that Dog-faced Pony Soldier Donald Trump.  And as that clean, articulate black man Barack Obama once said, Donald Trump will never be President of the United States.

Okay, sure, that was wrong and he did become president but hopefully not again anyway.  As my Uncle Bosey once told me, “Stay away from cannibals because they’ll eat you and you’ll never be found afterwards.”  And that’s damn good advice.  Now they’re trying to say he wasn’t eaten by cannibals but who other than cannibals would eat him?  Let’s be sensible here.  He wasn’t eaten by vegans, that’s for damn sure.

But seriously folks, you can’t trust Donald Trump.  He never rides on the Amtrak.  He’s always taking first class airline flights.  He’s not one of us.  That’s because he wants to put y’all back in chains.  And if you vote for Donald Trump you ain’t black.  No joke!

When my son Hunter was killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine fighting the Soviets he was dressed sort of like Rambo and with the muscles and the camo, so it was really something.  I remember him saying, “I just want my country to love me as much as I love it.”  And it was beautiful.  And then Xerxes army surrounded us and I threw my spear at him but only cut his face a little and then I was killed by a lot of arrows.  But luckily, I got better and here I am.  And that’s how we won in Ukraine.  Trump has never been killed in war nor have his sons so how can you trust him?

And if you think about it, Donald Trump is a lot like Corn Pop.  They’re both bad dudes who don’t follow the rules and probably don’t even wait an hour after eating before going back in the pool.  If I had the time, I’d like to bring both of them behind the shed and teach them a lesson with my bicycle chain and my boxing skills.  I’m not bragging I’m just saying that’s what I’d like to do but I can’t because of these new laws about fighting and the whole gay thing.  You’ve got to be careful not to say the wrong thing, which is tricky.

But forget all that for a minute, just remember how much better things are now that I fixed the economy.  I fixed the COVID and then I eliminated college loan debt and I got rid of gasoline and oil and now we’ve got electric cars and electric heat and everything is all electric and that’s progress.  Sure, if you’re still using the gasoline and the oil it’s a little more expensive.  And sure, maybe food and rent are up a few pennies but we’re all doing much better now than under Trump.  Just look at your 401K accounts they’re rocketing.  Why all of my green energy stocks are through the roof.  And just last week Nancy Pelosi showed me her stock portfolio and it was worth six hundred million dollars and you can’t hate that!  All these people in the Trump commercials saying they can’t make ends meet must be lying.  No joke!

So as my friend Madame Secretary of State Clinton said a while ago, “basket of deplorables.”  These dead-enders clinging to their guns and their God don’t have the votes to keep Scranton Joe Biden from coming back and finishing up his mission in Washington.  I’m going to fundamentally transform the whole United States of America into Scranton.  And you can bet your bottom dollar that’s what I’ll do.  The whole country will be just like the Scranton you see today.  Full of Amtrak stations, migrant housing, repurposed police precincts and prisons, welfare offices, needle exchange safe places, transgender bathrooms and Section 8 housing.  Welcome to the future.  So, make sure you vote for me every chance you get.  I really need your help.  Help!!!

Trump vs Biden

I find it interesting that Trump couldn’t fill a stadium, Biden couldn’t fill a high school basketball court, Trump campaigned nationwide, and got huge support, Biden “Put a lid on it at 0900” and did not travel due to kung flu, Trump was leading until the 0200 shut down in several states and then color me shocked, Biden surged in a manner that exceeded the capacity of the vote tabulators in use, but there is nothing to see here.
They almost pulled it off in 2016, they did it in 2020, and I do not doubt that they will do it again. Stevie Wonder can see there is something fuckery going on here, but by questioning the narrative I am accused of wearing my tin foil beret too tight.
My first election I voted in was 84, and the only one I missed since then was 92, I was deployed in Task Force Andrew and did not get registered vote before the cutoff date being out of state. I sat that one out, but consider my franchise to be an obligation, and responsibility as it is the only time my representative actually wants to hear from me.
If Trump pulls this one off, and defeats the cheat, he needs to surround himself with proper experts, not self serving jackapes, and be willing to accept criticism when warranted. If he doesn’t, win, I think we just need to drop the curtains, lower the house lights, and file towards the exits, the show is over. Claire Wolfe talked about the three boxes, that soap box has been used for the bonfire of the vanities in charge, we are teetering on the Splinter’s of the ballot box, that leaves the last box, and I don’t want to go there anymore than those who are trying to stampede us that way.
Once that starts I don’t forsee a solution that brings us out the other side intact.

Anarcho-Tyranny Comes to a City Near You

When the act of charity becomes dangerous, charity dries up. This is the result of the same policies that were put in place, creating a giant open air prison, with hidden fences. Releasing these criminals with a “Semi stern scolding”, and telling the to go out and try not to do it again, doesn’t seem to be working, but God forbid some innocent civilians are forced to defend themselves, break out the charge book, and warm up another cell, we gotta put a stop to these vigilante activities.

In Your Lifetime

photog Current Events, Trump ,

“This will be the most important election in your lifetime.”  How many times have you heard those words?  How many of the last elections have been described exactly that way?  Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt.  2020, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, 1980, 1976, 1972, 1968, 1964, 1960, 1956. 1952, 1948, 1944, 1940, 1936, 1932.  That’s twenty-three presidential elections and eighty-eight years of crises, wars, world war, depressions, riots, drafts, atom bombs, collapsing evil empires and cultural psychoses.  Forget the boy who cried wolf.  This is almost a century of crisis.

But heaven help me, I think I believe the expression is true this time, in a sense.  Now I don’t think Armageddon is upon us.  Nor do I believe that either Biden or Trump is going to change the world that much, either for the better or worse.  But I do believe that we have reached a point where Americans have gone beyond wondering if our elections are honest and basically will make up their minds based on the results of 2024.

Would you believe an election was honest if it reelected a frail, mentally struggling 82-year-old incumbent who has knowingly allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood the country, increased the cost of living to unaffordable levels for the working and middle classes and waged war on his political opponents through lawfare?  I’m going to say for most honest people the answer is no.

Effectively, this will undermine the legitimacy of the United States federal government in the minds of its citizens over a wide swath of the country.

THAT WOULD BE A VERY BID DEAL

We’ve never been in this territory before.  Well, not since the Civil War, anyway.  And I believe it will have a profound effect on the way Americans think about and interact with their government.  I see this as akin to how the Americans felt about the British government in the 1770s.  There will be an adversarial mindset and the federal government will react to this mindset in kind.  And that could lead to a spiral of actions and reactions.

Of course, trying to predict the future based on historical precedents is a fool’s errand.  But the attitudes are hardening and there is definitely a civil war vibe that has infected both sides over the last couple of years and there definitely is such a thing as self-fulfilling prophesies.  But let’s just say that if Biden is “re-elected” I think it will ignite a political movement to resist the malfeasance of the federal government, especially concerning illegal immigrants.

What happens if Trump wins?  Isn’t it funny how no one even talks about that?  Then he’ll really have a tiger by the tail.  He would have to start off his term by pardoning everybody on our side; himself, first of all and all of the January 6th defendants and as many of his people as have been hounded by the DOJ.

After that he’s going to have to try and make good on his promise to fire almost a quarter of the federal bureaucracy.  Hopefully he’s really done his homework and has a decent plan for such a monumental endeavor.  And then he has to try and revive the economy.  And then boot out tens of millions of illegal aliens.  And then he has to end the war in Ukraine.  And then he has to dismantle the green energy boondoggle.  And then, and then, and then, …

I don’t know about you but electing Trump president is starting to sound like the next round of presidential elder abuse.  The poor guy.  Well, maybe he can make DeSantis VP so he’ll have a kid around to do the heavy lifting.
