Ever have one of those nights that all you do is respond to things? This is one of those for me right now.
Friend, if the Trump team is not returning calls, that might make you a bit suspicious. The swamp threw tons of bad actors at Trump hoping some would stick. If someone was released by Trump and is not being let back then, that is a Red Flag for me dude.
The primary goal of the external intelligence forces of the Soviet Union (primarily KGB) was to plant communism in the United States. They targeted the Universities and the Unions.
It's taken decades, and it outlasted the Soviets themselves, but we are seeing the fruit of their labors now. Rampant communist ideology at universities. Groups like Antifa making a comeback after not being a thing since the 1930s. Yeah the commies landed their blow, but they are not around to support it as they had planned.
Maybe the CCP is now, I don't know. The CCP is really a different brand of communism and not popular with "the kids". But the leftist, socialist, Marxist, whatever segment of the population are easily usable stooges for people bent on wealth and power at any cost.
Two major things were important in implementing this, to get back on track with the discussion. The first is totally nuking the nuclear family concept. The second was confusing civic "rhetoric". Now you have kids from broken homes going to college to learn Critical Theory. Or more germane to the the modern day Critical Race Theory. Same thing, just race instead of class.
We are now dealing with seeds planted starting 70 years ago by a regime that no longer exists.
Our prosperity did not cause our downfall. That is idiotic to believe. It was our reticence to denying terrible concepts from infiltrating our thinking.
Doubt he was rogue. I'd put a 50/50 on being a patriot or just wanting to make some money. Either way, it is an ineffective strategy to work outside of the campaign.
The MOST important thing is that the campaign is as cohesive as possible in anything they do. Yes, taking in tips and the like helps, but being WITHIN the campaign is better and faster. Why are these guys outside of it?
And there are always people willing, in any movement, to put to death anyone that opposed them. And emotionally, that is warranted. But morally, it rarely is.
A stiff prison sentence is enough. If you can tie a person to actual murder, then I support a death sentence. That would be hard to do in most cases of corruption charges. Which is why most 5 Family types never faced a death penalty. The last was in the 1940s I think.
I am BIG TIME for the death penalty for murderers. But I know how hard it is to get those convictions. I'd rather remove them, make them pay in the most embarrassing and career ending way the law allows, and move on and MAGA.
I worked for the DOE for 10 years, had a Q clearance, which suddenly everyone knows exists, and I am pretty sure most people with one voted for Trump.
I find purpose in my existence because I have my Faith in God, My Family who I love, and my Freedom, granted by this beautiful country we live in.
Again as someone who has been totally into politics since I was like 8 years old (I know, I was a precocious child who informed my parents of the news), I don't understand the VAST majority of people who see politics as a topic of interest like history or sports or home improvement. And I feel smug in my knowledge that politics is everything.
But 42 year old me would tell 8 year old me that most people have jobs, lives, and "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" to get to and not just watching boring fucking news and speeches by Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell on VHS tapes or pouring over volumes of long dead economists and political philosophers in the school library. There were baseball cards to trade and bad ones to put into bicycle spokes to make it sound like a motorcycle (I literally ran with a group of kids that pretty much was The Goonies back then).
So my old smugness sort of fades as I realize not everyone looks at the world like I do. But reality dictates that everything is downstream of politics. And politics, as we have learned, are downstream from culture. It becomes important, whether you like it or not. We can depend on the nerd kids like me deciding what is or is not important to really follow, or we can all get involved, with the understanding we can all be covered in bullshit at the drop of a political top hat, and stop the more stupid stuff from happening.
Basically we had like 60 years of nobody really engaging at all. Basic civics went from a major study in every school to a minor pastime most could skip in that time frame. And only now are people awakened to it, because, as you said, we are being forced to.
Unfortunate, but inevitable. I take no measure of satisfaction from it. I'd rather go back to the time when watching the weather channel and cable news were simply guilty pleasures, not deciding the fate of my children.
C'est la vie. We will win in the end.
Yes, very good reference. I love the parallels drawn into the movie The Terminal starring (cuck) Tom Hanks. A limbo existence one cannot leave, with no future prospects at all. It is a life of breathing, eating, and shitting. And nothing else.
For most of us, we can find a lot of life to live in our "flyover state meaningless lives". But these people have spent almost their entire lives making sure everyone knows who they are. Take that away and that is a brutal existence for them. A little taste of Hell before the real thing.
To answer your question, there is only so far that a state can play fuck fuck games.
If a state, as in the Gubernatorial administration, refuses such orders they are in breach of the US Constitution. At that point, SCOTUS can rule that the state legislature must fulfill it's Article II Section 1 duty and select it's electors, basically voiding all ballots with respect to electing the President and Vice President.
In other words, it is a very dangerous game to play for a state to ignore SCOTUS in this. For starters, the legislature of PA is Republican (and if they choose anyone BUT Trump, their citizens will make sure they never see office again), and also the governor himself will be blamed for "disenfranchising" millions.
What is unprecedented here, as far as I know, is that SCOTUS came out with this right now. It seems they are very keenly watching this and actually taking their constitutional duty very seriously. I know Kagan, Breyer, Sotomayor, and even Roberts are suspect individuals. But I have a feeling there will be a lot of unanimous decisions coming forward. None of these justices have much of a vested interest in seeing a total level of fuckery as we are seeing right now.
In fact, if I were on the SCOTUS, I would be very worried about getting "diluted" by a crazed political party willing to plop a dozen more justices on the Court on a whim.
Back 4 years ago when people wanted Hillary put to death or whatever, I said the absolute worst thing for someone like her is to be made irrelevant. Stripped of power, influence, and wealth. The only things her life has ever meant to her. A shell of a person, simply existing until the inevitable death comes for her.
It is absolutely the worst possible thing that can happen to these people. They have no faith. They believe in nothing but what they can get for themselves here and now. And you turn that to ash, you totally destroy them. No need for prison or "ropes" or any of that. There are worse fates than death. For them, being a nobody with nothing is the worst fate.
I'm glad you are no longer demoralized. I and others have been trying for days to kick your butts and get you looking at what we said was going to happen and also that we will win.
Now, I think, everyone is finally seeing it.
You CAN'T cheat to this level and win an election. It becomes too obvious when you have to overcome millions of votes instead of thousands. Now you guys are finally seeing what we've been saying for months.
Now we get to enjoy all of the fallout, especially the media falling all over themselves eventually, and then 4 More Years of President Donald J Trump and the reckoning the Deep State has had coming for a long, long time.
You'd better stock up on popcorn.
