The Morning Report — 8/7/23

trumpmculiffe.jpg

Good morning, kids. On Friday, I had a bit of a semi-heated exchange with friend and cob CBD over one of my asides in the links. Specifically, it was about Ron DeSantis claiming he was going to start "slitting throats on day one" vis a vis going after the Deep State. My retort about DeSantis perhaps having more credibility in this regard if he unequivocally denounced what is being done to Trump by said Deep State was what CBD took umbrage to.

Oh...bullsh*t! Trump has been the epitome of nasty and sleazy in his dealings with DeSantis. What you want is for DeSantis to obey Reagan's 11th Commandment, but give Trump a pass.

It's a fair point, as indicated by my response:

Aye, and there's the rub. This is NOT politics as usual. While I agree that Trump has been a pretty loud asshole about a lot of things to his detriment, what is being done to him is an absolute abomination that rises way above this crap.

I do stand by my assertion but, and I do concede that Trump is equally guilty in a sense of going on the offensive against his opponents as if this were ordinary retail business as usual.

Does he not realize this? I guess not. So I do concede that your anger is not unjustified, CBD.

For sure, this is not politics as usual. In a bizarre way, as I stated, I don't even think Trump gets this. Or if he does get it, he's going through the motions as if it is no big deal. That's what's so frustrating about this whole situation. Of all the people to have as a leader of a movement, the good news is it's Trump. It's also the bad news. About the only person on the campaign trail who does get it is Red Meat Ramaswamy, and strangely enough to a much lesser extent RFK Jr.

They have stolen elections, staged an insurrection (oh hell yes indeed they did), persecuted and imprisoned citizens, censored legitimate journalists, and are using the instrumentalities of a thoroughly corrupt criminal justice system and the rest of the bureaucracy to kneecap their prime political rival.

Let me state that while there are number of things that irk me about Trump, I am not 100% sold on DeSantis and, aside from Ramaswamy, every other candidate in the GOP field is a complete non-starter. Yet, that presupposes looking at where we are as if it's just another election. I think we all have to break out of this mindset. And the one person who has to do that is Trump himself:

For me, the no-longer-American justice system crossed the Rubicon when they raided a former president’s private home. That was unprecedented and tragic enough for me to lose my respect for the DOJ. And naturally, once our country tilted over the top of the waterfall, it has only picked up speed on its plunge to the disastrous chasm below.

It’s time for former — and possibly future — President Trump to grab that branch that’s sticking out halfway down and refuse to fall any further.

In Fulton County, Ga. — which was featured prominently in the film “2000 Mules” for likely illegal ballot harvesting — despicable and racialist Soros DA Fani Willis has been working on her own Get Trump! indictment. And as if the entire world doesn’t know who Donald Trump is, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat has promised to, at long last, secure that coveted mug shot.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” vowed Labat on Wednesday.

Folks, we’ve entered the part of the drama where the evil ghouls shave off Aslan’s majestic mane and mock him on the way to his slaughter. Trump is dutifully visiting the stations of the cross he bears. But Trump isn’t Jesus — he’s a lion, not a lamb — and there’s no reason why he should take one more choreographed step in the Left’s disgusting dance. It’s not fair, so let’s stop pretending it is.

What if Trump simply says, “No?”

Remember, we’re cascading down the face of the cliff at this point. Every step of the way will become increasingly debasing and humiliating for the former President of the United States and front-running candidate for office in 2024 (who is, after all, the representative of the political will of half the country — you and me). What if Trump simply refuses to show up for Fani’s hate-indictment arraignment and Labat’s cuffs-and-mugshot routine?

I would pay good money to see the look of frustrated rage on the Leftists’ faces when they realize he’s not coming. Trump should force their hand. Make them send armed forces to arrest him like the thugs they are. Show the captivated world that yes, it’s true — America is gone, replaced by just another failing fascist state.

That's just it; America is gone. This game of "Let's Pretend" is not only not getting us anywhere, it has the adverse affect of reinforcing this meme that everything over the past three years, and longer really, is the way things are supposed to be, and we who stand in defiance of that are worse than cancer and Hitler combined in refusing to go along with it.

It matters not a whit who the candidate is in 2024. The Democrats are already perfectly positioned to steal that election in the same swing states and districts that threw it to them in 2020. The GOP is perfectly positioned – pants down and grasping ankles – to do nothing to stop it, before or after the fact. Ditto most likely the judiciary.

Even if our candidate does manage to overcome what will be an even more insane margin of fraud (85 million ballots? 90? 100 million?), do you think that the bureaucracy will not engage in mass insubordination as it did between 2017 and 2020, even if the cabinet is comprised of absolute loyalists to GOP President Whoever?

Do you even think that this Junta is even going to let GOP President Whoever take office without claiming that the election was stolen, with mass rioting as well as a thoroughly corrupt military ready to arrest said President-elect, his transition team and then outlaw and imprison the Republican Party and its constituents en masse?

They are never going to allow Trump or DeSantis or Ramaswamy to take control, let alone win an election.

Trump indeed has nothing to lose by not cooperating and forcing the Junta to arrest him. If Trump is in Florida, DeSantis has quite a bit to gain by refusing to hand him over should the FBI Gestapo come after him.

Unfortunately, both see fit to play along with this madness and go after each other while the GOP sticks its collective head up its ass as well. But if either or both of them call the Junta's bluff – and all things considered it's a very risky proposition – that's when things can get interesting to say the least.
