"You knew this was coming, right? Now, here you are: the hour that consequence finally returns from its wanderings in a wilderness of institutional failure. There’s no evading it anymore. The scaffold of lies has collapsed, and trying to add additional lies will amount to throwing a few twigs on a heap of smoldering wreckage."

With respect, I don't quite see this happening - at least as of yet. What I see is a news media that is by and large ignoring what is happening before their very eyes. When they do speak of it, it is to parrot what Comey, Brennan, Clapper have said - that they did nothing wrong and that Trump is engaging in "retribution" against his enemies vis-a-vis the DOJ. For all intents and purposes, that they are the victims of an out of control president who is busy settling scores. I've yet to see an honest, 'Road to Damascus' moment...not even the slightest flicker of one.

This suggests to me that the whole rotten melange of traitors and their media propagandists will go down fighting. One would hope that a spark of wisdom and common-sense would be firing off in the synapses of their collective brains, but they're far too invested in the "big lie" that has kept their garbage barge afloat all these years.

It seems that all we can do is watch as this horror show unfolds...one indictment at a time - one conviction at a time. At the end of the day we may even get to enjoy the sight of former heads of agencies, perhaps even a chief executive, in orange jump suits working alongside other inmates in the laundry shop at a medium security prison. I'm patient.

We're like Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football. We keep getting promised justice, and, at best, a small-time player gets a slap on the wrist.

"Lock her up," is a distraction.

We're still financing the war in Ukraine.

We're still financing the adventures of Israel.

The economy is stagnant at best.

Cancer rates are up.

Disability rates are up.

The digital ID train is going full speed ahead.

We're edging closer to CBDCs

Yet we're focused on "they framed Trump."

So no, they'll be no high profile names doing a perp walk, unless AI decides to create some images. They are sadly Above the Law.

Trump's quote was spot on. If Trump had not won in 2016, Hillary would have been prez! She wasn't planning on the whole plandemic originally because the plandemic was needed to push election tricks. That was the purpose for the plandemic! The crooks needed to win back the power in 2020 to continue with their New World Order push. You heard Biden right on live tv when he said during 2020's campaign season that the dems worked up a really great election fraud system that was fool proof!

So, what was Hillary going to do if she had won in 2016? Did you see the Georgia Guidestones before Space Force annihilated them with a couple of missiles? There are still pictures online. GO do a search to see them as they had once been, but now are rubble. The Guidestones were a mocking of the 10 Commandments. #1 was the depopulation 'law.' In the New World Order there would only be 500 million people left on earth. During the Obama administration, his job was to prep for Hillary's term. He was supposed to weaken the culture, weaken our military, bankrupt our government, amass debt so high GDP couldn't ever recover it, ramp up adrenochrome production and other drugs, spread gun to all the criminals in the world, ramp up the human trafficking industry etc....he was to ruin our country which he did. Hillary's job was to nuke the world, while the 500 million elites would live in bunker pads underground able to worship their satan in freedom. All the FEMA camps would be filled with dead nuked people rotting away. Sounds like a nice world....huh?

"... the plandemic was needed to push election tricks. That was the purpose for the plandemic!"

Right. The US Democrat [political] Party made virtually all of the world's 200 sovereign nations go full-throttle draconian for the election of one nation (with only 4% of earth's population).

Good thinking.

-----

Americans are so into navel-gazing at their "exceptionalism" that they can't even imagine any facts from the other 96% of us as having relevance worth considering.

Sad but true.

-----

It's not 500M elites, Einstein. It is 500M total and with their constant pyramid structure still very much intact. That is, in their plan, the vast majority of the remaining 500M are to be slaves toiling for the elite (which will number in the thousands).

-----

Hint: Trump's in on it.

Trump's WEF mandates are to smash Greenland, Canada and the USA into the Club of Rome's New World Order Region 1 - North American Union (NAU), instigate then manage the bankruptcy of US Inc. and its phoney-bologna US$ and facilitate the transition from the prosperous corporatocracy that we knew (and loved) to their new thousand-times-worse-than-Orwellian technocracy.

Trump brokering and providing Larry Ellison & Peter Thiel with a half a TRILLION of Rothchilds' fiat duckets falls into that last mandate. Ellison & Thiel are developing our Super-AI (the Beast System) to, among other things, custom build, in 48 hours, an mRNA jab to "cure" you of cancer(s) that you don't even have!

Wouldn't we all. If the public had its way -- well, it would get uglier. I have fantasies about stocks on the Mall - and then hangings, but that's just me. I don't see it as focusing on "they framed Trump." I see it as "they tried to destroy the Republic and subvert the Constitution." The very fabric of our nation was being ripped apart. It was a coup d'etat, and we saw it happening in real time. WTP knew. And we did something about it. We voted, as the good little citizens we are. Me, I don't want to miss a single proof. I don't want to miss a single piece of evidence that nails their treasonous asses to every barn. I want to the world to know: THAT was not this nation or its people. What we do now is up for grabs.

Technically this is action on 'voter fraud' based on the fact that if a fairly substantial portion of the voting population had believed the laptop story to be true (it was classified as more 'Russian disinformation' and the government requested it be suppressed on social media), they wouldn't have voted for Biden. I think they did us a favor, frankly. Trump would've limped along, fighting the agencies/bureaucrats the whole time through his second term. This way, he had time to get out of the system, assess what had happened, and run on the weaknesses of the Biden administration. While what we have is far from perfect, at least we don't have Kamala.

That's the worst freaking idea I've heard this month!! Who hosts the "con-con" and who suffers the consequences? Who wrote the Patriot Act and why was it ramped up and ready to deliver months before 9.11? Did it add or subtract freedoms for the American people? The correct answer is subtract in a big way. The US Constitution is just fine, thank you v very much. Let's focus on it and not on the law fare so much in vogue these days. Put another way let's follow and advance the principles behind the US Constitution and not subvert them. Truth, Transparency, and Trust along with Reason and Rationality are the way advance society, not Trepidation, Tiddledywinks, and Treason.

A constitutional convention at this point would do nothing to alleviate the ideological and racial fissures that prevent serious reform. It would simply put the clashing voices on a stage where they would be amplified. The outcome might easily be overt violence among factions.

I wish it were otherwise, but Uncle "Humpty Dumpty" Sam can't be put back together by calls for good will and patriotic unity. A division into two or more countries would be tough to pull off peacefully. But that's better than a cage match between permanently hostile partisans.

If there is no explanation for the following, will prosecutions be null and void?

"Steve Ricchetti, who was a top adviser to former President Biden and considered to be in his inner circle, said Biden was “fully capable of exercising his presidential duties” during a voluntary interview Wednesday with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, according to a prepared introductory statement obtained by The Hill.

“Let me be clear: At all times during his presidency, I believed that President Biden was fully capable of exercising his Presidential duties and responsibilities, and that he did so,” Ricchetti’s prepared statement said. “Neither I, nor anyone else, usurped President Biden’s constitutional duties, which he faithfully and fully carried out each and every day.”

Ricchetti appeared for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for the Republican-led panel’s investigation into Biden’s mental acuity and use of an autopen.

Ricchetti said there was “certainly no conspiracy to hide the President’s mental condition from the American people,” and that he was “not aware of any effort by any member of the White House staff to usurp the President’s authority to make decisions or to sign important documents without his knowledge.”"

It must be swift and complete. No worries about who might be culpable because they will get caught and will be punished. Yet the only thing Trump MUST do is make it happen big, with spectacular punishments that must be equivalent to the crimes they have committed.

Scaffold is the correct term for the leftists who used it as protection from prosecution;but real scaffolds are exactly where they should wind up. Start building them now (in your mind if you have to) because even it’s just a metaphor it signifies they will get their just desserts.

I'm under the suspicion that we will get a couple of Scooter Libby types sent to the hoosegow and the rest of the upper management will be black mailed into playing along to get along.

If Trump and friends do go down this path in 4-12 years it will be them going to jail for a raft of made up lies.

RINOs They have been emasculated for now and are rapidly becoming Democrats. I agree with you, they are Deep State traitors to the people and should be treated like any other enemy of the Republic. “All enemies of the Constitution, foreign or domestic”, it seems all officers of the Federal government have forgotten this vow.

A huge question? Are the Muslims trying to reset the country to socialism enemies of the Republic? Is Sharia Law allowed under the Constitution? They are only one group that are, IMHO, enemies of the Republic, of the Constitution. Wokesters want the Constitution torn up, Bernie Sanders and his communism want the end of capitalism, the country’s economic basis. Zealous Latinos want their Cession back. Chinese infiltrators are doing subterfuge daily.

Their secret? Immigrate into centers that are creating phony documentation for citizenship, create local “hotspots” of their culture until local politics belong to them. Then change everything to their culture. Somali Minneapolis is a prime example. Spanish California is another. The centralization of cultures is going to Balkanize this country as the idea of immigrant assimilation into an American culture disintegrates. Year by year, the common culture is disappearing. Think, What is the answer to the question, What is an American?

You are seeing a vanguard movement in Texas. The power of a majority party shows during re-districting, and the GOP is in charge there. The Dems from all over the country understand that this change in Texas is a knife thrust aimed at them. They want to blame it on Trump, just like always. Trump is a figurehead, representing the people’s rebellion against the socialists in the country. The people are telling the Dems to pack up their bullshit and go home. Until the Dems acknowledge this to themselves, they will continue their downward drive. The polls show it. The Ult-Left of this country is on the way out.

I don't think much changes as long as central banks like The Fed are allowed to exist. Its monetary policy is at the root of every single problem. Within a couple short years it managed to wipe out the dream of home ownership & financial security for younger generations while facilitating the greatest transfer of wealth in history. Half our nation has lost or is losing all hope of ever getting ahead because of inflation. When people have nothing to lose, they're gonna lose it as the veil is lifted on all these 'conspiracy theories' like RussiaGate that keep coming true. If govt won't do anything, some people will ... hence the un-alived healthcare CEO last year, and the recent NYC murders that included a Blackstone exec who was in charge of their core/real estate division.

Go back 100 years. Houses were a luxury, the upper 5% owned houses, and everyone else sharecropped, rented, lived in boarding houses, tenements. The time after WW2 started the suburban movement, where salaries rose to the point that the cost of a house became affordable. Another item was the Model T Ford car, which allowed the masses to afford a car.

So what happened? Cheaper cars and cheaper houses? More people bringing in money to a household? What elevated the ability of a family to afford a house? A big clue, mortgages! Before the Depression, going into debt was a no-no. After the war, not so much.

Now, forward to today. The balloon is breaking. Income is falling behind the prices of everything. Is this the result of the declining job market, or the installation of a service economy, a gift of Obama/Biden. When you take away the goodness, the value of jobs and replace them with Macjobs, collapse is not far behind.

Instead of blaming corporations or banks, both repositories of capital, maybe the correct blame is the emasculation of the US job market. Should we be surprised that when you take away the ability of a generation to “make a living”, things go downhill.

A real problem too is that one of the results of all this is that generation turning into gimmes. They want the government to take care of them. Evidence of this is the recent rise of Leftist communists in NYC and Minneapolis being supported by youth primarily. What a joke. The really dumb kids thinking that they are going to get bailed out by the agency that has caused the problem in the first place.

Next comes AI to stir the pot even more.

The goal Bush/Clinton/Obama/Biden endeavor is to destroy the republic in the United States and install a fake socialist system more favorable to the globalist agenda of total domination. The fly in the ointment is the nationalist Republican who just won’t roll over and go with the program. Donald Trump personifies the unruly, unwashed, deplorable, non-elites who don’t know their place and dare question their betters.

Sure, Hillary bitterly lost, was bent out of shape, and had some leverage to demand retribution for a life of perceived insults. But, could a loser’s grievance mobilize thousands of people to put their fortunes and lives on the line to gain a little pay back for some hack politician? I don’t think so. Especially, since the Clintons are untrustworthy and widely reviled.

No, the order to “get Trump” came from way above any politicians pay grade. However, the people pulling the strings miscalculated on two fronts. First, they assumed Trump would fold like a normal human being. He does not. Second, they assumed the Swamp was competent. It is not. So, when one ludicrous scheme failed, the Swamp Rats just moved on to the next one which in turn would fail. Each botched effort, brought more people into the criminal caravan and raised the risk of exposure and the price for failure astronomical heights.

Despite all assets being deployed with mounting urgency - media, courts, big Pharma, medical establishment, three letter agencies, NGOs, transsexuals, Ukrainian misadventures, vote harvesters, street thugs, immigrant invaders, and assassins - Donald Trump squats fully ensconced in his send term with targets painted on bad actors and vengeance in mind.
