Trump Russia

Open Thread

More documents regarding the origins of Russia, Russia, Russia have been released – nothing we didn’t already know but now we’re getting some names of who started it all. This helps map out the picture of Team Obama getting the ball rolling…what we don’t have is confirmation that Obama, himself, was aware and/or ordered it done. I doubt that Obama has the courage to put his name on such a thing…probably was more of a nod as DOJ ran the whole thing by him. What is clear is that they sought to destroy Trump during the 2016 campaign and then amped it up after he took office. Crucial: it was during the campaign they sought to destroy him.

If you rewatch the MSM coverage of election night, 2016, it just gets funnier each time. They were so sure (heck, I think we were all so sure!). It was supposed to be a short night ending in Hillary’s victory speech. If you watch the coverage you can see the happy faces slip into fear and then despair. But given that they were all so sure, why try to destroy Trump during the campaign? You start to suspect that someone decided to do a deep dive into the polling and found Trump had a real chance. Do you realize what level of panic that would generate in the highest reaches of the Establishment? It is the only explanation for why they started this at a time when, officially, Hillary was cruising to victory. That takes things like the CIA director…and at least tacit approval of the sitting President. And once you start you keep going – because you have to. If the target obtains power and finds out, you’re doomed. The 2020 result was mere follow up. The assassination attempts…follow up on steroids.

And keep in mind, the FBI and CIA swung massively into action in 2020 to hide the Biden family corruption – the fact that Biden was bought and paid for by foreign interests. Why? Well, sure: TDS. But more importantly – Biden was never high enough up in the food chain to get the really good payoffs. He wasn’t getting Obama money, nor Pelosi money. He got relative peanuts. Protecting Biden in 2020 was only partially about getting Trump…it was mostly about making sure the scale of foreign money buying Americans was kept out of sight.

Abdul El-Sayed has scrubbed his social media accounts – having to delete things like a desire to ban Fourth of July fireworks and abolish the Second Amendment. Do keep in mind that this doesn’t reflect a change of heart…just a pack of lies designed to get him over the electoral finish line. Personally, I think he’s just way too Commie – and way too stupid – to make it. We’ll see. But the coalition of Islamists and upper class white women in Michigan will, I believe, prove too small in November. And, yes, he’s as much a fraud as you suspect – the man played polo as a kid. As one jokester put it – Abdul El-Sayed is ready to seize the day and the means of production in a $10,000 suit.

Looks like the insane commie in Wisconsin – Hong – will lose her bid to be nominated for governor. And it looks like the Democrats manufactured some late votes to ensure she did. I wonder if she’ll wake up a bit, now? She’s been a good, little commie foot soldier for them for years and here they come to knife her in the back. She could expose a lot if she wanted to.

But she’ll probably settle for some media gig and/or book deal. They are always so easily bought off.

Well, wonderful time at Lake Tahoe. Totally exhausted and we had the fun of the last 100 miles home the AC in the car conked out. Still makes cold air but the fan system simply isn’t blowing it into the cab in sufficient force to counteract Southern Nevada sunshine! So, with more than 93,000 miles on the car, we’re already looking for a replacement as at that mileage cars always start to nickel and dime you to death (this is probably just a busted fan or, perhaps, some break in the venting…but I suspect the fan as I could still feel cold air right at the vent openings). Its been a good car but it is time for it to go to that great garage in the sky (ie, the high miles used car lot where some poor sap will pay three times what its worth on a 19% APR loan…on the plus side, the actual maintenance was done on the regular so it probably has 25,000 miles left on it).

Gabbard has referred the Trump case to the DoJ. About time! Everyone involved from start to finish was breaking a whole raft of federal laws day in and day out. There are a host of very serious federal laws regarding the improper use of intel and law enforcement powers. And every person involved is guilty of the conspiracy – even if, in theory, they didn’t know exactly what was happening. And for those thinking the statute of limitations applies because it started in 2015…bad news! These people kept on breaking the law right through the 2024 election. That is, the law breaking kept on going…so, if you entered into the conspiracy in 2015 and bailed out of it in 2018, you’re still on the hook.

It is hard to decide if this or Biden’s dementia is the biggest political scandal in history. Not just American history: world history. That officials sworn to uphold the laws failed to do so – and, indeed, deliberately broke those laws – isn’t unprecedented, but the staggering scale of it here is hard to imagine. And it cuts right through just about every institution…even MSMers could be caught in this net. Not because they wrote it up, but because they actively cooperated in advancing the scam. It is one thing to say “I’m just a reporting saying what I’ve been told”…it is quite another to rigidly adhere to what were clearly talking points all through the matter. Remember, they all refused to cover the Hunter laptop story…not one of them broke ranks and pointed out the obvious: it is real, it is Hunter’s and it details quite a large number of felony actions. There are coincidences, but none quite like that – and if we can prove they were part of the conspiracy (which doesn’t require forensic proof – that is, to charge someone with conspiracy we don’t need to prove they took orders), then they’re going down as well. And it was all of a piece – the same people and institutions which created and pushed Trump-Russia created and pushed the myth of Biden cognitive ability as well as Hunter’s innocence.

We’ll see how it goes. But this tells why Trump wants us off Epstein and the Democrats want to talk about nothing else. We all know what a complete slime ball Epstein was and that very large number of well-connected people were deep in with him…but the bottom line is that the man is dead and the more crucial law enforcement issue isn’t to go after those who covered for Epstein but to go after those who tried to carry out a coup against the elected President. Democrats would love to talk Epstein for a year – after all, Biden’s people had four years to destroy evidence in that case. And even if it singed some Democrats, that’s worth the price if it bogs down Trump. My view: I don’t think Trump has let Epstein go so much as back-burnered it. At all events, if we take down the people who tried to destroy Trump, we’re probably going after most of the same people who protected Epstein.

Democrats are saying Colbert was fired from his TV gig for political reasons – as someone pointed out on X, the truth of the matter is that Colbert was kept on the air for political reasons. His ratings were horrible from start to finish. He was just considered a useful took in the DNC propaganda machine…his usefulness is now at an end.

You can – in theory – be liberal and be funny as well as insightful (stop laughing! It is possible!). A liberal host could make a success out of a late night or other TV gig. But it must be entertaining. I’ve watched a few episodes of Guttfeld’s show on Fox – sure, he and the guests lean Right (or at least Libertarian) but the most important thing is that they are funny and have something interesting to say. Endlessly repeating variations of Orange Man Bad is, at the end, just boring. It might make Liberal trained seals happy but nobody else. Joe Biden was a gold mine for the host of any humor-centered late night show…they left him untouched. Meanwhile, Trump is actually a funny guy – and the key to getting a hit on him is to first laugh with him…then you can tweak. Heck, the guys at Babylon Bee do it all the time. Trump also rolls with a joke – liberals never do. At least, not in some decades. One thing for certain, if Biden had been mentally competent those four years he would have been furious at the slightest fun being poked at him – so, too, was Obama (he actually took people aside and scolded them for being other than laudatory in all respects about him). This is why anyone with an actual sense of humor these past ten years has gravitated to the Right…first off, we laugh. Secondly, we can take a joke – in fact, we tend to laugh harder at jokes at our expense. We know we’re the Stupid Party! There’s a goldmine just in the Senate GOP for laughs (one recent joke: Senator Graham had to call his doctor after we bombed Iran because his erection lasted more than 4 hours). Democrats just can’t get this – and their attempts at being funny just fall flat.
