I suspect that over the next few months, we’ll see changes in the Biden Administration.

Although at this point it’s rather like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Activity in hiring/firing and people heading to other opportunities in any organization can tell you a lot about what’s going on in the boardrooms.

The Presidency is no different. 

I’d be surprised if key people stick around much longer. At this point they need to parley their employment within the Presidential sphere into cold hard cash and new safe positions before the election.

We’ll start seeing books published by staffers about their work in the inner circle.

Titles like, “The Dream that wasn’t – The Biden Presidency” By the way, that title I came up with, it’s not associated with a real book. However, if someone were to write a book and wants to use that title they can contact me and I’ll happily sell them the rights outright, or take a percentage.

Such a book would probably be a salacious look into the rumors of Kamala’s staffing troubles. Jill Biden’s domineering and bullying of everyone within the Whitehouse, and Joe Biden’s rapid decline.

Ultimately the book could blame the people of the United States for their inability to understand the great direction The Biden Administration was taking the country. I’m sure it could find a way to blame the selfishness of families dependent on gasoline, and food. There would probably be some discussion about the way MAGA and white supremacy ‘Poisoned’ the American People against Joe Biden’s administration.

As staffers bail on Joe, the Whitehouse will do its best to keep a lid on the losses, but eventually the press will figure it out because they’ll try to call their contacts and get routed to voicemail saying the extension in question is no longer active.

Then the press will have to make a decision. Tell the truth, or do what they’ve been doing for 4 years. Cover up the information.

Wow! I’d gotten busy with other things and walked away from this post.

In the intervening hours. Joe Biden has announced he will step out of the 2024 Presidential race.

So everything I’d written prior to this point was and will be true. Except that now, the inevitable rats leaving a sinking ship scenario is confirmed. The ship is going down!

Where does this leave us?

I guess the Democrat Nation Convention will be interesting enough to watch.

Kamala is a complete non-starter. Although I could see them floating her as Biden’s replacement. Hillary? Oh for fucks sake! Newsom? Only if you want the USA to get flushed down the toilet, but he could be a viable candidate to white liberal women because he’s good looking and charismatic. 

Well, this should be interesting.

The morning after… Now the media is concerned about the rhetoric!

Trump responds to shooting 640x480.Uh Huh, I’ll bet they are.

CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel said she thought it was “odd because of all of the heated rhetoric” that Trump would say fight, fight, fight, after being shot. 

Honey, I can tell you this, in the heat of the moment, had it been me, my comments would have been a lot saltier.

Something on the order of “Hunt the enemies of our Republic down and kill them all! Exterminate them like the filthy cockroaches they are. No trials, No mercy!

That would have given the Sunday Morning chat hosts something to whine about.

As it is CNN tried to portray an assassination attempt as Trump fell down and was escorted off stage by security.

Politico tried to spin an assassination attempt as simply “Shots Fired”.

Shots fired! What the fuck? I’m sure thats a comfort to the 2 or 3 individuals in addition to Trump who were shot.

Several other news organizations in a disgusting display of bias and stupidity, downplayed the assassination attempt using various euphemisms.

GettyImages 1231325629 scaled 391425283.CNN Your source for stupid bitches!

Gangel, the people with brains took “Fight, fight, fight,” to mean “Continue fighting against a corrupt system, don’t let this intimidate you.” 

Others in the Media are suddenly very concerned about the hostile rhetoric of the campaign, completely ignoring the rhetoric they themselves, have hurled from their anchor seats for 9 or 10 years about Donald Trump.

E324d4b6 0527 436a a9a7 aae21093f5ff DESK.00_00_17_13.Still009.There’s a report that Biden’s X/Twitter account called Trump a wannabe Dictator minutes before the assassination attempt.

Then in stunning duplicity Biden says, “I’m glad Donald Trump is okay and political violence is wrong.”

We all know Biden isn’t running his Twitter account, but damn! It’s not at all a good look for the Biden Administration or Campaign.

GettyImages 1402029752 1 640x480 1.In fact it looks kinda like they’re reversing course because the assassination failed, what would they have been saying if Trump was assassinated? 

Today, our nation dodged a bullet but the man who wanted to be a dictator didn’t

It’s interesting to note that no cities are burning, no storefronts have been looted, no riots have broken out over the attempted assassination of Trump.

Can we with certainty say the same would be true if the assassination attempt had been directed at Biden?

That you or I are uncertain about the answer, suggests an uncomfortable truth.

We “know” ANTIFA, BLM, Queer-Transexuals for Sharia and whatever other organizations, are in fact enforcement arms of the Democrat party. We simply dare not say it out loud because to do so causes an unpleasant reaction.

Anyone saying that, is immediately called bad names, de-platformed, de-monetized, de-banked (if possible), Doxxed, taken to court, and called a conspiracy theorist nut job.

Whoopi Goldberg 640x480 1.While I don’t particularly care for Alex Jones, he’s kinda the poster boy for what happens when you say something powerful people don’t like.

Right, Wrong, or otherwise, Jones has as much right to speak his mind as anyone else.

To me he’s akin to the dude in the public square preaching “the end is near” He believes Sandy Hook was a false flag event, to fuel more gun control.Alex Jones

How is that belief any different from the dude who believes Aliens abduct him twice a month and put things up his butt?

Or that 9/11 was an operation perpetrated by the United States to create a war for profit, and that the buildings were blown up with thermite.

If you look at the photos of the Pentagon on 9/11 where is the plane? More appropriately where is the debris from the plane? Surely the entire plane didn’t dematerialize on impact. When other planes crash there’s always a trail of bits and pieces left all over the place. 

Angry joe biden sotu mar1 22 fist getty 640x335 1.The difference is that Jones, reached tons of people, Jones hurt people’s feelings, Jones may have on more than one occasion correctly called out other shit the government did, that the government didn’t want to be well known.

Alex Jones is no different in my opinion than Howard Stern used to be. They’re both Shock Jocks who made money being controversial.

Leticia James.One, is a leftist, the other is rightwing. 

It’s easy to see which political position is favored.

Democrats agree.There is a long and unpunished list of left leaning actors, media whores, politicians, and talk show hosts who have literally called for or implied that Donald Trump be assassinated.

Some of these people called for Trump to be assassinated while he was a sitting President.

Kathy griffin trump_TylerShields.There was a time when any threat against any sitting president would get you arrested, handcuffed to a chair naked, sprayed with ice water occasionally, all while  answering questions from the FBI and Secret Service, then you’d get to spend time in front of a judge.

That time is past, or was.

Now those same actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts are expressing their outrage about rhetoric and they’re trying to make it sound like Trump, MAGA, and their fevered dreams of some boogy man white supremacist army, are the ones responsible for all the hateful rhetoric.

They’re not. This morning, it’s obvious! 

Because if any of what the left claims Trump and MAGA are all about were true. Blue cities across the nation would be in flames, and ANTIFA / BLM / MS13 and illegal immigrant bodies would be piling up like cord wood.

Kamala Harris 1 640x480 1.CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS would all be broadcasting images of empty sets and anchor chairs with shots echoing in the background.

Washington D.C. would suddenly have an example of what a true insurrection looks like, and Biden would be eating ice cream in the White House bunker.

These Politicians and Talking Heads better be thanking whatever deity they pray to that the conservative folks on the Right, pissed off as we might be, are not like them.

We don’t believe the ends justify the means. We still have some semblance of moral code and our moral compasses point mostly North. We believe in the rule of law.

Even when the law has been perverted and twisted in the pursuit of destroying one man, we believe that a higher court will see justice done.

We also believe that those who twisted and perverted the law will be punished by higher courts.

We believe in the voting process. We may believe that there were serious voting irregularities in the last elections but we believe that changes to voting law are the proper mechanism to fix irregularities, not rioting and burning cities down.

I should also point out that independent state audits of election results in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have recently concluded there were miscounts and large numbers of illegitimate ballots. The significance of these conclusions is yet to be determined.

So lets just recap:

Trump may have had a point when he disputed the election results. Many of his allegations were not actually heard by a court. They were dismissed out of hand. Look it up. The Media has painted a picture that Trumps concerns were heard. If that’s true, then why have investigations turned up significant irregularities? Shouldn’t the courts have already ruled on the matter?

MayorkasTrump has been censored by big tech. For that matter, so have Average Americans.

When average Americans went off and built their own conservative platforms, those platforms were destroyed by big tech because god forbid, a conservative viewpoint that made sense and resonated with a lot of people might gain traction.

It took Trump building Truth Social and Elon Musk buying Twitter to loosen the tech strangle hold, and that loosening was just enough to allow the American people the ability to breathe.

Maxine waters 2 640x480 3 11 20 getty 640x480 1.Trump has been Impeached twice

Trump has been dragged through the court system.
In one trial the bankers he was supposed to have harmed with fraud said they’d do business with him again because it was profitable to them.

Another trial he’s convicted on 34 charges for paying off a porn star that he didn’t have sex with,  who still owes Trump money for her breach of contract, and on which the statute of limitations had run out?

Another trial, he’s found “Guilty” of saying “I never met that woman in my life.” After said woman accused him of raping her in a department store. This woman has a history of accusing famous men and not so famous men of raping her. All the others she’s accused have been found not guilty.

Trump has been gagged by legal order and even after various trials he’s still been deprived of his 1st amendment right to free speech.

Trump is accused of being Hitler

Trump is accused of wanting to become a dictator

Trump is accused of wanting to over throw the United States

Biden continues to repeat the “Very Fine People” hoax created by the media which even the media has been forced to debunk and retract.

Screen Shot 2022 07 11 at 3.45.53 PM.The Biden campaign, the day before Trump was shot, tweeted something about Trump being equal to Hitler.

The Economy started going into the shitter the day Biden took office and started his war on domestic energy production.

Immigration started going into the shitter the day Biden took office and started undoing all of the Trump Era controls.

Biden screwed employment, employers and employees with his vaccine mandates.

Biden screwed the careers of a ton of military personnel, and our country’s operational readiness with vaccine mandates. Check out the sudden drop in pilot flight readiness.

Biden and his administration continue to paint conservatives, MAGA, and anyone who disagrees with their policies as “enemies of the state”. Where have we heard that before? In other words 1/2 of the country that Biden is supposedly leading should, according to the Biden administration, be in re-education camps.

Uf6WY6eup qwseuyWA5jLVjgBh6E j6fV0lqA2YObJA 2093847797.Biden loves to threaten that he’s going to use military forces on 1/2 of the United States population should they rise up against his ridiculous administration. He loves to point out AR-15s are ineffective against F-16s. I realize this is a statement of fact, probably the only true thing Biden has said in decades, but honestly, I can’t help but take it as a threat. Oh, and he’d have to violate The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 that prevents use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies. I suspect that is why Biden refers to MAGA, and White Supremacists as a “Clear and Present Danger”. That’s probably the only way his administration could get around The Posse Comitatus Act.

Horsepatrol svxqp7.Biden destroyed morale in the border patrol and reduced their effectiveness, then increased the number of migrant deaths at the border when he falsely accused Texas border agents of “Strapping” migrants from horseback. Biden was wrong, he’s never apologized, and Texas border patrol can’t use horses anymore. But wait, there’s more. The immigrants in question were Haitian and the Biden administration was returning Haitians to Haiti so the Haitians thought for a moment the Biden administration would be lenient and merciful but “NO” Haitians get deported.

Biden cost 13 soldiers their lives in his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Then couldn’t stop looking at his watch when they were brought home in flag draped coffins.

Outbreak coronavirus world Square.Let’s not forget that during COVID, actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts were calling for anyone who was vaccine hesitant to be placed in re-education camps, “For the greater good”. Biden was calling those people “Dangers and Piriahs” on TV weekly.

That was a laugh, while saying that mothers should be able to have an abortion due to bodily autonomy, these same people were saying that vaccines should be forced upon people or that those who refused should be exiled from society. “To hell with their bodily autonomy. It’s about the greater good.

At this point this bears repeating. COVID-19 at its worst was 97% survivable with zero intervention. The younger you were, the higher that percentage of survivability.

Twenty years on pandemic gives 9 11 conspiracists fresh impetus_1630908610.By the way, the actors, politicians, media whores, talk show hosts, and doctors who were so happy to walk all over our freedom and right to bodily autonomy. Who were so happy to demand actions in violation of the Nuremberg code, now would like for everyone to forgive and forget their complicity in what honestly might have been a crime against humanity.

These actors, politicians, media whores, talk show hosts, liberals, leftists, and in general Communistic Democrats are going to be clamoring for an end to the rhetoric because they want to avoid accountability for their words, portraying rioting as mostly peaceful, praising leftist causes, spewing hate, and funding organizations dedicated to the destruction of our society.

13 fallen U.S. service members return home from Afghanistan Screenshot courtesy of ABC News on YouTube.All of this, every bit of the events of the past 8 or so years, would been enough, in a lesser country, to have triggered a violent coup d’état.

Indeed, We are not like them.

The question they should be asking is this; “How long before the conservatives become just like us? How many more insults, how much more blame, how long until they finally collectively say ENOUGH!

On that day, when conservatives have had enough, the world will see something completely “New”.

After yesterday, Robert F Kennedy Jr. better get the Secret Service Protection the Biden administration has been consistently denying him.

But because the Biden Administration has refused to provide protection to another presidential candidate, they’re going to look like shit no matter what.

Someone should tell them, they always look like shit so just give Kennedy the protection he’s asked for.

Oh yeah, that congressional idiot who put forth a bill to strip Donald Trump of his Secret Service protection better withdraw that bill.

Actually, I’d like to see him investigated for any complicity in the assassination attempt. There’s probably nothing there, but I would really like to see one of those congressional fuckers squirm.

Okay I should say this too.

It’s not about Trump. I’m pissed off that my country… Our country, has gotten to this point. Trump just happens to be the lightening rod that is helping to expose how truly filthy and despicable our government has become.

Everything that has happened in the past 8-10 years, is so repugnant to me, so anti-American, were I a time traveler I would ask when Nikita Khrushchev won the war and why aren’t we all speaking Russian?

I couldn’t watch the Biden Press Confrence, I chose BDSM Porn instead.

Biden confused face press conference AP 640x480.Much as I dislike Biden, starting with his VP days. I couldn’t watch him speak yesterday. It was too humiliating, and smacked of elder abuse.

Technically I didn’t like him when he was a Senator, but he was a minor “Bit” player there. Sure he said some shitty things but there were senators who said and did a lot shittier things on the Senate floor, it was easy to overlook Biden.

At the time he was just a mean spirited dude who looked like he would follow any asshole and do what he was told.

My other half liked Biden until he realized that Biden wasn’t the nice “poor” senator that he’d portrayed himself to be.

Watching Biden is humiliating, and knowing that there are people in this country who still believe Biden is worthy to be the President of The United States of America, even more so. It’s bad enough that Biden is obviously screwed up, either due to stupidity, age, or his deal with Satan coming due.

But seeing so many people tying themselves in knots clutching after the belief that President Poopy Pants is all there, speaks to a level of delusion and stupidity that is breathtaking.

For all of Trump’s faults, indelicate comments, and mean tweets, at least when he embarrassed us it wasn’t by shitting himself, whispering like a child molester, or forgetting who he was introducing.

I’d consider and have considered moving to another country. Serbia for example, but the humiliation of being an American these days is too daunting. 

“Hey, Ducat! Don’t they teach your people how to read? Tell the truth? Not sniff or grope children? Don’t they teach you how to go to the bathroom? Yes our rural people may still shit in outhouses, but THEY SHIT in Outhouses, not their pants! Hahahahahahah! Stupid Americans…”

Russia maybe? 

“Hey, Ducat! Don’t you want to hear American President speaking tonight? Don’t you want to see if he falls down? We have bets, two to one he falls, even money he gets lost on stage. At least with Putin we know he won’t embarrass Mother Russia. We know the criminals will be punished or put to death depending on crimes. We have clean streets, clean Metro, no stupid fights on planes. People walk safe at night. Our women know how to dress and that they are women!  Hahahahahahah! Stupid Americans…”

Poland?

“Hey, Ducat! Want to hear latest American Joke?? How many Americans does it take to make baby? Nobody knows because Americans don’t know difference between man and woman! Ohhhh Look! American President is speaking to dead people again! Hahahahahahah! Stupid Americans…”

Germany?

“Sorry, Ducat we deny your asylum application because we have enough trouble trying to get Muslims to assimilate. Judging by your Democrat party, Americans are dumber than all the other Asylum seekers. We don’t need more stupid people in Germany. Hahahahahahah! Stupid Americans…”

This is sadly the second time in my life I’ve felt that other countries were judging all Americans by their president. Coincidentally the last time I felt like this was during Obamas “Apology World Tour” when he did everything but suck off world leaders.

I don’t know which was worse. Obama in full possession of his faculties, selling out America, or Biden fucking us over “thinking” he’s doing a good job.

I do know that I am not happy being embarrassed constantly on the world stage by a creepy whispering, mumbling, stumbling, moron.

Wait, What? I know she’s unhinged but What???

I’m including the text of the story, and the link to the original story here

Maxine Waters: If Trump Wins in November There Will Be Violence, More Killings

By PAM KEY 23 Jun 2024

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show” that if former President Donald Trump wins in November, there will be violence and “more killings.”

Host Jonathan Capehart asked, “How concerned are you about your safety if Donald Trump is re-elected?”

Waters said, “I’m very concerned, not only about my safety and not only about the safety of members of Congress. I’m concerned about the safety of so many people in this country, particularly people of color. Donald Trump has said that if he does not win, it is going to be fraud, and because it is going to be fraud, there will be blood in the streets. He threatens about a civil war, and he threatens there’s going to be violence. I would say all of this talk is motivational with many of those who are racist, who are sitting at home listening to him, and they are taking him up on his threats even before the elections take place. It is about thousands, maybe millions of people being threatened and being at risk because of Donald Trump and his desire to seek revenge on anything and everybody.”

She added, “I do believe having listened to Donald Trump so many times and having the attack, the insurrection that took place on the House of Representatives in Congress, on the Capitol, the Capitol grounds, we could be in for more killings like that. I think Donald Trump has to take responsibility for what he is saying about blood in the streets and violence if he is not elected to be the president of the United States of America.”

Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

What? 

In answer to the question, she says there will be violence if Trump wins & she’s afraid of Trump winning. Later on Mad Maxine says that if he doesn’t win and claims fraud there will be violence.

Can I infer from her world view that no matter what, there’s going to be violence? If so, might I ask who will be calling the shots on the violence?

Mad Maxine has openly called for violent actions on at least one occasion and there’s video to back up that claim. Trump on the other hand hasn’t actually called for violence, if you bother to listen to his words.

However Trump’s enemies continue to claim that he’s called for and incited violence.

Obviously they’re taking that directly from the Joseph Goebbels playbook. I’d bet that the majority of youngsters in the streets protesting about whatever they’re protesting about in this particular hour of the day have no idea who Joseph Goebbels was, so they’re going to repeat the mistakes of the past.

People like Mad Maxine on the other hand are old enough to know that name, in her case I’d bet she’s too ignorant to have learned anything about him in school.

Mad Maxine chooses to miss the point in her fear mongering. Donald Trump isn’t calling for blood in the streets, he’s warning about blood in the streets because he might be accurately judging the mood of the American People.

An awful lot of people believe that the elections were rigged. More evidence has come to light that in fact the elections were not as safe and secure as previously advertised. Recently evidence has come to light that suggests Biden could actually have lost the election in terms of votes in a couple of swing states.

The folks who were denigrated and called conspiracy theorists, who were told that their concerns and even evidence were of no consequence, and who were denied due process in the courts because “They Had No Standing” are rightfully pissed off.

Pissed off enough that they might legitimately see overthrow of a corrupt government as the only option left to them.

On the other side of the coin, you’ve got BLM, ANTIFA, and god only knows what else. For all we know at this point, we could have Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaida, and any number of other groups that hate the United States standing by, on the Joe Biden side.

Not that they like Biden, but since Biden is weak and ineffective. It makes sense for them to keep Biden in office, because 4 more years of zero consequences to terrorist organizations, or flat out criminals would be just freakin awesome for them.

Thinking it through, Mad Maxine might be 100% correct. 

No matter who wins the election in November. Blood will flow in the streets.

It would be very ironic if we had another January 6th thrown by BLM & ANTIFA. It might be funny to watch the pundits and wags lose their minds trying to defend those groups burning down The Capital.

I suppose what caught my attention was the dissonance in Mad Maxine’s response.

It’s like 24/7 she is terrified of a boogie man called Trump. I suspect that she’s also terrified of the discord and racial animus she and others have helped to create. She’s possibly wondering how the heck she’s going to avoid getting caught up in the reconciliation (the point when both sides realize they’ve been used).

Historically, when people at the bottom of creating societal divides and violent hatred are identified, they don’t live happily ever after, or very long for that matter.

I doubt that Mad Maxine has the intellectually capacity to understand that lesson. Remember, even a worm has survival instincts. Mad Maxine may not understand the threat she’s facing, but she may have enough awareness to feel some unseen danger stalking her.

Existential THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!!!!!

Oh for god’s sake STOP!

Global Warming, Is a threat to democracy
Global Cooling, Is a threat to democracy
MAGA, Is a threat to democracy
Trump, Is a threat to democracy
Vaccine Hesitancy, Is a threat to democracy
Israel Palestine conflict, Is a threat to democracy
January 6th Protests, Is a threat to democracy
Questioning the media, Is a threat to democracy
Questioning the Government, Is a threat to democracy

If everything the media and politicians warn us about, Is a threat to democracy, then nothing is.

Alternatively, if everything is a threat to democracy then democracy is some seriously weak assed shit.

Neither of these assertions are particularly correct.

What these morons are saying is anything and everything beyond their control is a threat to their idea of democracy.

Which leads me to wonder if they understand what democracy is, or that if used incorrectly, democracy may be a bad thing.

You want to see true unfettered absolute democracy?

Look at the Pro Palestinian protestors on college campuses preventing other students from getting to & from their classes. Is this not The Majority exercising absolute democracy and using their numbers to overrule the rights of a minority?

How about Pro Palestinian protestors interrupting a pride parade? Aside from the multiple ironies of Queers for Palestine being on both sides of the “battle line”. Protestors versus Pride Parade is absolute RAW Democracy in action. (There’s also a lesson in there. With Palestinians we can’t have anything they don’t want us to have.)

Democracy can easily be used to trample the rights of the individual. 

That’s why The Constitution and Bill of Rights are so important. When you understand those documents are the only thing standing between us and Pure Democracy (a.k.a. tyranny of the mob), the importance of these documents appears in a whole new light.

I’ve come to believe that the media and our politicians are overusing the word democracy so that we stop “hearing it”. Much like the overused word “racist”. I’ve started wondering if this is a prelude to redefining the word to mean something else in practice if not actual definition.

We don’t now and never have lived in a democracy. Our form of government was designed as a Constitutional Republic. That design was chosen so that the rights of the individual would be preserved regardless of the desires of the Mob.

There’s also an interesting bit in The Constitution that says something to the effect, rights not enumerated are assumed to be held or retained by the individual, not the state. I’m paraphrasing but the meaning was clear to me as an 11 or 12 year old.

My right to do as I pleased was enshrined in The Constitution…

To be clear, my parents were pleased and impressed that I’d read and comprehended The Constitution. They did not however buy my assertion that my misbehavior was Constitutionally protected. I recall their rebuttal was completely rational.

You live in our house, as a dependent on our largess, therefore you will obey our rules until such time as you are no longer dependent upon us for food and shelter. Now, GO TO YOUR ROOM!

It wasn’t until many years later that I learned my Father’s face had been beet red not out of anger, as I had supposed at the time. He’d been doing one of the hardest things a parent has to do. Being parental, when what he really wanted to do was bust up laughing. He told me in my 30’s that he & my mother had gone out to the driveway and laughed till they cried.

I can say these days, it’s a good thing my Father is dead, much as I miss him. With the way the government has been doing things over the past decade or two, my Brother is convinced, and I concur, that our Father would have been out in the shed or in a bunker making ammo and planning for “La Revolution!”

He’d have seen his planning as duty to The Founding Documents, in particular that part that says if the government has become so corrupt and distorted that it no longer serves the people, then the people should overthrow it.

Even in the 1970’s I remember my Father saying that the government should be “big red switched”. A.K.A. abolished and restarted from The Bill of Rights, Constitution, and basic principals. His thinking was that for 1 hour or day there’d be no laws whatsoever. He was ahead of his time. He was really talking about something similar to “The Purge”.

His thinking was that you have to re-elect all new officials, all the laws get erased. The government got started up again with the basics of commonly accepted laws. Don’t kill, don’t steal, that sort of thing. He figured that any scores that got settled while the government was restarting and laws being re-adopted was probably acceptable losses. He’d sometimes go a bit further saying that the folks who got taken out during the restart, probably would have deserved it.

Funny thing, now that I think about it. I wouldn’t consider my Father and his somewhat radical ideas a threat to The Republic. But I could see how his ideas would be considered a threat to the “Democracy” that our politicians are trying to defend.

I’d hate to be worried about my Father and the rest of the family getting “Ruby Ridged” or “Wacoed” by the Feds. There was a time when I called those incidents “outlier” events. Now, I’ve begun to see the Feds for what they are. They’ve shown us all exactly who and what they are in the past 4 years. 

When things like the following have become common place:

3am raids against lawyers who represented a political enemy.
Hunting down people who were simply at the capital on Jan 6th.
Kicking down the doors of ministers over a political dispute with weapons drawn and children in the house.
10-15 vehicles with 60+ agents of the FBI in full tactical load out to arrest one 65 year old retiree and his wife.

Really? This is the “Democracy” our politicians are screaming about protecting?

I’ve seen old newsreels of this. Jackbooted authoritarian thugs kicking down doors.

It was common in Soviet Russia, we denounced it then. It is common in Communist China, our politicians seem to be looking the other way these days. We also saw this behavior in 1930s & 1940s Germany. While the Hugo Boss uniforms were impressive, the authoritarianism was not, and we saw millions murdered. At the end of that conflict. When the trials were ongoing, the common refrain was “I was only following my orders.”

We’ve already heard testimony before Congress that sounded a lot like, “I was only following orders.”

If this kind of government is what our politicians, specifically those in high offices want to protect, then we have a serious problem. 

The question is, how radical will the solution to the problem have to be?
