I did notice there was a Democrat who’d filed some paperwork for impeachment of Trump. The guy is Rep. Shri Thanedar.
YAWN!!!!
I’m surprised that hasn’t been a Daily event.
Oh wait, I guess it’s hard to write articles of impeachment, if you’re protesting to bring a gang member back from El Salvador, or inciting Judges to make questionable rulings, or advocating for the mutilation of children, to pander to your wackjob base.
I know it sounds stupid, but my God, I just want stability!
I swear it’s like a never ending Carnaval ride. The car I’m in has one wheel with a bad bearing, another one with a chunk out of it, and clowns jumping at me round every bend.
I can see my Über Democrat stepfather nodding his head winding up for the, “See this is what you get when you don’t vote Democrat,” gloating. Until I finish the thought.
It’s been like we’re circling the toilet bowl since the Obama Administration. Okay honestly, Bush² may have been when things really started to go off the rails.
Now in Trump² it’s beginning to look like Democrat obstructionism, lawfare, and not having a better idea will continue.
But wait, there’s more! For a limited time, we can have more rioting and looting, incited by Democrat leadership. Yippee!
I want to be clear, I don’t regret voting for Trump. Had the Democrat party offered a superior candidate, I would have voted Democrat.
They didn’t. They offered Kamala Harris and a buffoon, who would have continued on with policies that weren’t working.
For example: Welfare fraud under $25,000 in California could be decriminalized due to Senate Bill 560, which was introduced by State Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas.
Kamala Harris was a terrible AG for California. She was a horrible Vice President and she clearly out of her depth. Waltz, was no better. He might actually have been worse. (Hard as that is to fathom!)
That being said, my vote for Trump was a vote that I feared would likely result in 4 more years of the Democrat party showing their asses and obviously not getting the message.
“We can’t continue on as we’ve been. Our spending is unsustainable.“
Offshoring industries, likewise offshores jobs, (not everyone is suited to work a fast food counter,) we were spending too much money on illegal immigration, at the expense of our own citizens. I don’t care if illegals were paying taxes, they’d simply supplanted citizens who also would have been paying taxes but were now unemployed.
The underlying problem may well be corporate greed, but yelling about it, then increasing regulations, offshoring jobs, and not fixing the problem wasn’t improving anything. Nor was moving toward a globalist government or economic model under the direction of the WEF.
The WEF is not and likely, never has been, our friend. Looking at the larger picture, I sincerely wonder if they’re anyone’s friend. Many of their policies seem aimed at creating dependency. Particularly when smaller countries are examined.
There are a number of cases where productive countries who were feeding their people, and exporting their goods, (in other words doing okay,) joined or implemented WEF policies, and suddenly found themselves with people starving in the streets. What followed was insurrections and revolutions.
Yet the travails of the American People were ignored. The January 6 protest, (In Democrat Parlance, an “insurrection that was worse than 9/11”,) was the American people essentially asking “What the FUCK” are you people doing?
That too fell on deaf ears.
Politicians choice to ignore the will of the American people led directly to Trump, both times!
The Biden years led directly to a large percentage of the American People demanding an accounting of just how much government corruption there was. DOGE is the result of that demand.
The Democrat party is in disarray. Trump moving at breakneck speed as he has done, is about cutting the parasites out of government and keeping them so off balance that they couldn’t keep up with events enough to mount a defense.
At the risk of invoking NAZI imagery, Trump and his administration mounted a Blitzkrieg, not just against the Democrats, but against corrupt politicians in general.
Have you noticed how many Representatives and Senators have decided not to seek reelection? In the run up to the midterms, I think we’ll see a lot more from both sides of the aisle doing the same.
But now, as the first 100 days come to a close and the Blitzkrieg comes to an end, I suspect that my prediction about a second Trump Presidency will turn out to be true.
The Democrats, other corrupt politicians, organizations, lobbyists, and whatever cabal of corporations, have begun to regain their footing. They’re not off balance anymore.
Now they’re going to capitalize on the hatred they’ve created toward Trump and those who voted for him. They’ll engage in impeachment, and another summer of “Love”.
They’ll try to back Trump into a corner wherein he’ll have little choice but to deploy national guard to restore order and execute one of the primary responsibilities of the Government.
It’s in the freaking preamble of The Constitution of The United States.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The 35 words of the Presidents Oath of Office are;
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.“
If you read the preamble, and take it literally. The part about insuring domestic tranquility will most likely be where Trump goes.
The primary responsibility of the Government is to insure safety of the citizenry.
If/when the national guard rolls on the streets of Chicago, New York, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles. Trump will be labeled a NAZI, a Dictator, an Emperor, then the corrupt politicians and their henchmen will take him off at the knees.
They’ll tie his administration up in endless hearings thereby deleting any benefit of his administration.
We’ll have 3 years, and 265 days of endless bullshit. The country will remain polarized, the economy will stall, and we’ll all suffer for it.
The corrupt will run out the clock, they’ll present someone with great hair, a winning smile, and a mouth full of honey.
That person will talk about unity, peace, better jobs, the homeless, the poor, the disadvantaged, and how evil Republicans are. They’ll appeal to emotions like revenge and retribution.
That person will “win” the next presidential election. Then, they’ll say, “We have so much unrest, we’ll need to keep the nation guard in place until things calm down.” They’ll blame it all on the Trump Administration and probably set up a “Tip” line, so that “Good” citizens can report insurrectionist speech, while extolling the virtues of weeding out the evil in our midst.
And then, we’ll be living in a police state. Or there will be a revolution.
My money is on Gavin Newsom as the Democrats choice.
So it’s with this running as a simulation in my head, that I say I want to go back to freaking stability!
I’d like to go back to the ‘80s or ‘90s where sure, there were problems and issues but at least I lived my life pretty simply. I literally never thought about the government except at tax time, or if there was some monumentally stupid thing happening.
I worked, I was generally happy, global issues were beyond my control or concern, and it was quiet.
Back then I couldn’t conceive of the insanity of today. Orwell, and Rand, were fictions. The sun was gentle, the beaches were clean, the ocean warm, and my culture, future, and country, were secure. Or so I thought.
I suspect I was running the simulation in my sleep. I don’t remember dreaming about any of this, but when I woke this morning, Jesse was cuddled up next to me with his head on my arm.
He doesn’t typically engage in that kind of cuddling behavior, he’s more of a, “We’ll sleep when we’re dead,” kind of dog.
But if I’m sick, hurt, or restless while sleeping, he tries to comfort me. I have to give him credit, he’s really a sweet dog, even when he’s a pain in my ass.
I hate like hell that I have no choice but to disrupt his life, and mine, with packing up and finding some other place that we can afford to live. I can’t compete in a job market where standing behind a counter running a cash register requires a fucking Master’s Degree.
That is the level to which higher education seems to have been devalued. I’m seeing more and more simple retail positions here where Masters Degrees are required. I guess it’s the only way an employer these days can make certain you’re able to read, do basic math & count back change.
That’s another post for another time…
