Jim always makes it sound so promising, but then the GOP gets in the way of itself.

James Howard Kunstler's avatar

Aw, shaddup your nihilist mouth.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

C'mon, Jim there is truth in what he says. The GOP is paid to look away and do nothing. What is Pam Bondi doing? Where is the frog marching of these miscreants?

I thought your article was spot on, but we must realize in order to change the direction of the country you must have more of the GOP involved in doing what's right, not what's convenient for them and their wealth accumulation strategies. Congress has earned their do nothing credentials.

A.M.'s avatar

Consider that it is do or die also for Trump Administration officials. Democrats will not let the likes of Noem, Gabbard and Co go gently into the good night. If they don't eradicate and humiliate the fraudsters, they will be in the line of Dem fire.

Alzaebo's avatar

Also agree the promised Retribution will be terrible, but I repeat that you can't change anything inside the country until you've sorted out the influences outside the country.

edit: jeez, I commented before reading. James is laying it all out here, and I am totally on board with his optimism. This ain't no disco, ain't CBGB's, and he's done foolin' around...Repubs might be limp, but they didn't pull all this shit.

Aelwed Bell's avatar

Expecting anything from Congress is a joke. Worthless, bought and paid for traitors and criminals. They are part of the ruination of the USA. Every time Trump bypasses Congress, and finally gets something done, it is music to my ears. At this stage it should be "screw policy and protocol, and just take care of business before we all drown in collapse and failure".

I would like to see some frog marching, photos of felons being booted out, the- proof-is-in-the-pudding kind of stuff...

E. Grogan's avatar

I guess you missed the part where JHK says that people like Soros, who are funding/employing the "protesters" are having their assets seized and so are about to be shut down. Soros et al are the ones creating all this drama. Who would be shutting those operations down and seizing assets of Soros and his ilk? Well, the Dems aren't doing that, looks like it's the GOP in the form of Trump & Co. seizing assets and probably making some arrests along with that. I did see where Monkey Werx on YT told us about 1.5 yrs ago that Gitmo military prison was so full of prisoners the military had arrested, that they had to start putting prisoners in other military prisons around the world, which he named. Monkey Werx is military vet who receives intel that he's allowed to announce. These arrests aren't being made public because CNN etc. refuse to tell We the People the truth - also in war you NEVER tip your hand to the enemy and announce your moves such as how many people you've arrested. My 2 cents.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

No, I did not. Did you miss the part that I said the article was spot on? How many arrests so far, and what trials are taking place?

E. Grogan's avatar

No, I didn't miss it I was responding to this part: "order to change the direction of the country you must have more of the GOP involved in doing what's right".

There is no info I could find on how many arrests, but it is obviously numerous. Trials are done by military.

Charting The Fourth Turning's avatar

Yeah, sure... Trust the Plan.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

What did I say that wasn't true of the GOP? The GOP is the party of do nothing and they are paid to look away. If you disagree, that's your problem.

If it's obviously numerous why are there so many complaints of no action?

Alzaebo's avatar

There were over 1000 raids and arrests of Republican and political opposition, not counting the J6 attendees and people in the general vicinity that Biden & co. were hunting down until the very last day of his administration, how many of them did we hear about? They didn't want to broadcast a Communist witch-hunt for resisters, while the NeverTrump turncoats cowered. (Not to mention more than a few suspicious deaths.) And if it's Monkeywerx, I trust it.

How do we know they cowered? That photo of the Democrats crouched down behind the front seats on J6, while the bored Congressmen sprawled in the seats above looked down with perplexity as they played with their phones.

Kathy Christian's avatar

Keep voting for those elected representatives!

Susan Ness's avatar

Where are the RICO charges? Where are the perp walks? Most importantly, where are the frozen assets to bring a halt to the funding of interference? We're hearing crickets from Bondi's DOJ. I imagine it would take a military action, similar to the capture of Maduro, to get our hands on any of the gentleman you mentioned above. Is that even constitutional? I suspect Trump would have to use martial law to get around it. Meanwhile, here at ground zero in Minnesota, my poor, demented, 93-year-old mother is afraid. She's worried rioters are going to climb up on our second-floor apartment balcony, break in, and get us, though there isn't a rioter for 20 miles. I've had to take control of her TV to keep her from watching the news.

Vegan Shark's avatar

Rich Mohlmann's comment is within the bounds of reasonable discussion. Obviously it's open to dispute, but replying that he should "shaddup" and calling him a nihilist isn't worthy of you.

As to your latest article, once again I appreciate the research and thought you put into it. I always learn something from your writing.

Lighten up Francis. You've been reading Jim long enough to appreciate his sarcasm, right? He shouldn't have to use the /s tag.

I always thought it was mostly Norwegians? Rockford, Illinois is the largest Swedish population outside of Sweden. Whenever their king comes to the US they always make a big deal of stopping in Rockford.

Beth Nicolaides's avatar

I think Norwegians just make a bigger deal about their ethnicity. I'm Norwegian and recently went to a Sons of Norway meeting in which we went around the room and introduced ourselves, including the percentage of Norwegian heritage we had. It was so dumb!

Exactly John. My Aunt born and raised there. Lived in Milwaukee and made the BEST Swedish meatballs and Fruit Soup at Christmas. And of course Panakoeken.

Ron Neff's avatar

Mr. John---Swedes would argue with you about whether they are socialist. I have seen a lot of info saying they are not but.......and interesting number would be the % of their GDP that comes from the gov't.

William Foster's avatar

The capitalist Swedes left Minnesota decades ago, for California. They must feel cursed at this point.

William Wallace's avatar

Since the Funds were Federal wouldn’t charges be promulgated from Federal Districts?

Matthew McWilliams's avatar

If the Federal District Court is in Minnesota, the likely location for the case to be brought, the presiding Federal Judge would have been nominated by one of Minnesota's leftist Senators and therefore likely be a leftist themselves. Any jurors would be drawn from the local population, which is highly leftist. Getting a conviction requires unanimity, so just one leftist on a jury of twelve could block a conviction.

That's why I love his writings. We need more positive thinking in this negative world.

FLGenX's avatar

Agree. We have to stay positive, keep our heads on straight, see the bigger picture.

P. Robert Thorson's avatar

There's a fine line between positive thinking, and ignoring reality. I can't help but notice the "theater" aspect of this ICE incident and how it rhymes with the George Floyd production - theme of government enforcement gone wild. I wonder what event(s) it is that I'm supposed to be distracted from this time? There's so much to choose from now, it's hard to distinguish the psyops from the nefarious operations.

The bigger picture is the failure to enforce the rule of law. The current administration has a pretty sketchy track record in doing so, so I'm not holding my breath. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

William Voelz's avatar

Let’s never forget Ellison is a Muzzie right out of the Muslim Brotherhood playbook. This always goes their way……until they push it too far. Keep this bastard out of Washington at all costs.

P. Robert Thorson's avatar

It appears intuitively obvious that the Left/Dem operatives have zero fear of being tossed in jail, and considering the track record of other blatant illegal operations (Epstein, Plandemic) I can see why the lack of fear is present. It just emboldens the bad actors.

Rather than the cumbersome deportation process, why not track down and prosecute the employers of illegals, and cut off funds transfers to areas south of the border? Well, we all know why. That's right, there's profits to be had, and palms to be greased.....

wilson's avatar

the remisas to Mexico were talked about for years. Nothing was ever done. The 1986 immigration act had employer sanctions, as far as I know nothing was ever done. No employer was ever brought up on criminal charges for knowingly hiring an illegal alien.

Scott Kinghorn's avatar

I believe they're going after the "remittance" aka money transfers.

Cankerpuss's avatar

I'm a black pilled realist, believe me. But I crave positivity and optimism. Don't know why for sure, perhaps it makes me feel good. Probably why I am drawn to Mr. Kunstler's writings.

elysianfield's avatar

CP,

Both positive and negative thinking serve to skew reality. Both are error-prone, and such would not serve well the objective thinker.

The positive thinker sees a pile of horse shit and begins digging...looking for a pony.

The negative thinker sees the pile of horse shit and KNOWS there is no pony, and never could be buried within...some bastard dumped it in his driveway, a hostile act, for certain.

The objective thinker sees the pile of shit, and checks his shoes to see if he stepped in it.

PapayaSF's avatar

Yes, but this is Trump. He wants big political wins and he will get them. Minnesota fraud connects to other states, the national Democratic Party, ActBlue, leftist NGOs, and more. Trump will rip through it like Sherman through Georgia. Democrats are trapped and thoroughly screwed, and the insiders know it. They know their two options are surrender or to fight Trump by committing federal crimes and lose even harder. For the impatient: Yes, you will see indictments and arrests this year. Part of Trump’s plan is to win the midterms bigly.

You can't change anything inside the country until you sort out the influences outside the country.

While the complainers on both sides are looking at the front of their nose, Trump is looking at the horizon and the future - and you can only play with the toy army men you have.

We're in a globally connected world now - a Rootless world versus the Rooted world we knew.

The old rules don't much work in the new conditions.

Skenny's avatar

There are some instances where police go overboard with their authority, and do not exhaust possibilities for de-escalation before resorting to lethal force. It happens.

But the "'macro" situation involving ICE is a response to the unprecedented invasion of illegal and criminal immigrants sponsored, supported, and encouraged by the previous federal government, Obama/Biden/Harris chief among them. ICE agents are doing and attempting to do the job that a majority of Americans expect them to do. That's a critical piece of the equation here.

These agitators are an extremely vocal minority, arguing for the continuation of illegal activity, and committing crimes (including obstruction) while doing so. They become criminals and support criminals.

In recent instances, such as Renee Good in Minneapolis, agitators show up in order to agitate. Local politicians encourage them to violence. Renee Good escalated. Other agitators escalate, jumping in front of vehicles, throwing bricks, screaming hysterically, and even trying to "dox" agents. MSM supports them and the politicians use them. It's not law enforcement that is initiating/perpetuating escalation.

If Renee Good was my daughter, sister, friend, I would have told her to find another way to vent frustration than breaking the law to interfere with enforcement of laws that most people support. She engaged in a loser's game. She lost.

Gym+Fritz's avatar

Renee Good was civilian ideological cannon fodder. She was naive enough to taunt, disobey, and threaten federal law enforcement agents and thought she was somehow* immune to serious consequences. If her sad, needless, death causes others to realize that they are playing with fire, she would be doing all the other obstructive “protestors” a big favor. If you push, threaten, throw things at, law enforcement officers, disregard their commands / or even act disrespectful towards them, there must be consequences (put your self in the position of an ICE agent).

* Stupid, ideological judges?

Tim R's avatar

Just like all the crazy jihadis flocked to war torn Iraq and Afghanistan to join ISIS, many of the worst types (Somali grifters, Antifa leftists, BLM, Etc.) have swarmed to Minnesota over the last 10+ years. Minnesota, Like Iraq, is a failed state, which is why these losers thrive there. Same for Illinois, California and others.

Ron Anselmo's avatar

Yes, on October 17, 2025, at 56. She was a treasure, a sweetheart, but tough as nails, the kind of girl you want with you in a bar fight. The only reason I mention it is they say we're never forgotten until the last person mentions our name.

Kittykat's avatar

Yes 100% the aim is for tragedy to occur and to use that tragedy for all it’s worth. The training documents for protestors spell this out except of course they strategically avoid mention of a possibility of a fatal outcome. They do suggest trying to get punched, or to provoke any response that they can use to their advantage. Of course they expect death and for them this death was lucrative. A cause for celebration. Subversion requires sacrifice.

Vegan Shark's avatar

I was at the Berkeley People's Park demo in 1969 in which one civilian was killed and many injured. It was a "police riot" but I also saw demonstrators using what could have been deadly force (e.g., hurling blocks of concrete at the cops). After all these years it's still etched in my memory.

I have since vowed never to be present at clashes involving law enforcement. (Living in northern Virginia I could have been at the Capitol on that famous January 6.) These things never turn out well once violent confrontations start. I'm not arguing for passivity but there are better and safer ways to protest.

Cankerpuss's avatar

These ICE agents are HEROES. They are truly acting to defend America from an army. This is exactly what our Federal Army and Marine troops should be doing. Instead of rooting around in so many foreign countries they should be here nabbing all these criminal invaders and shipping them back to their shit hole homes.

Lugh's avatar

We told Trump we wanted all fifty million illegals deported. But he's not going to do that. Think of the Renaissance once all that dead weight was removed.

June Boucher's avatar

Plus these “people “ are highly paid idiots

Debbie Wagner's avatar

Yes, many are paid. That’s why there are always so many videos available. The hired protesters have to document their actions in order to get paid.

In the case this week with Renee Good, she was driving while her “wife” was outside the car recording. They came from out of state (as many of the professional agitators do) because it’s their job.

The illegal funding schemes for these operations must end NOW! Thankfully the Trump administration is working on doing exactly that!

Cankerpuss's avatar

Then the world is far better off with Renee Good 6 feet under pushing up daisies. I have no sympathy or empathy for these fuckers when they finally get the eternal consequence for their filthy actions.

John Schrauth's avatar

She was obviously a sad case. Did not have custody of her two children from her first marriage, her second husband died leaving her with their child. Then she took a walk on the wild side with the lady who was recording her untimely, criminal end for posterity. Her child from marriage number two was attending a grade school that supposedly specializes in "social justice." Very sad for all involved.

I agree. Plus compare in your mind's eye the many videos of these agitators stepping in front of ICE/CBP vehicles and the response of the drivers with Ms. Good's response.

Kittykat's avatar

You expressed that perfectly. I wholeheartedly agree. I’m sick to death of the normalizing and excusing of behaviour that is clearly designed to destabilize and subvert. The ICE officers are human beings with families and a dangerous and difficult job. Yes they can be aggressive, just as cops can. It depends a lot on the culture. I worry too that aggressive foreign policy is creating a far more militarized home environment, however the individual agents and officers are not to blame for that. As I watch these YouTube cop shows and see what these people deal with, it’s perfectly clear that these men with that extra testosterone (the increase in number of female cops concerns me) is exactly what I would want in an emergency. I want to know that we have strong and brave men who are willing to face danger and react quickly without fear. They are not the enemy.

Colleen Rivest's avatar

PSW's avatar

Yesterday’s press conference by asshole mayor Frey claimed that citizens were fearful of ICE and what they are doing.

She was so mentally ill brainwashed that short of being mandatory required committed to a insane asylum she was completely lost. The effect on her children is a tragedy that is horrible with today's affects of people's acceptance of gay parents lifestyle choices being forced onto the children's lives without a care for their mental health or moral compass. Then to endure the jealousy problem that follows the queer mentality as far as their ability to reason competition in their relationship that is a huge problem with it ends up with violence most of the time due to their inability to cope with control and extreme possessions in their relationship. I am not a psychiatrist but have been a witness to queers and their failures in their relationship and their problems . I realize that they are mentally ill and honestly believe that they need treatment to cope with the illness and that the illness does not have a cure at this time. I don't approve of their deviant behavior and goes against my beliefs. Also I do not believe that it's a environment that is appropriate for raising children. It's as bad as a chemical dependence in a parent only thing is that can be treated.

To repeat my long term advice, if you are not armed and trained, you need to do so with haste. The totally corrupt and seditious Dems and their domestic and imported storm troopers are certainly trained in insurrections, violence, and destruction, and the federal agents are not their only target. If you are a patriot, Republican, independent, or just trying to mind your own business, you are a target, or will be. The Demoncraps are losing big time, and prison cells await many of them, so there are no rules they will follow to preserve order. Rather, they are actually pushing for a civil war as they aim to rule even if over a ruined and barren landscape. All about power and control as we are seeing in the EU, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, and even Australia. The Brits and others are aiding the ongoing chaos to destroy President Trump and his supporters. The authorities can not, and will not, save us as we are basically on our own. Prepare!

At least get yourself a Byrna and a Louisville Slugger.

https://byrna.com/

The wood bat is superior to the aluminum one for self-protection.

Even better if you drill out the end of the bat and insert around six ounces or so of lead at the tip for swing weight.

If you are going to buy one gun, make it a shotgun.

My preference is a Remington 870 Magnum Express six in the pipe one in the chamber, and do some combat training, fire load type training, so it never runs empty.

The beauty of a shot gun is its harder to miss and if you do miss the stray BBs will usually not penetrate a wall and kill an innocent inhabitant beyond.

Excellent advice. I own two shot guns and one of them has interchangeable barrels. One for target shoot, the other for home defense.

Can you tell me what a Byrna is?

Ben's avatar
Jan 9Edited

It's a non-Lethal gun that shoots pepper balls and other fast-moving items to incapacitate an attacker.

The link is safe, or look it up on Google, it's hard to explain.

As far as BB penetration goes, 00 buck will go right through two sheets of drywall like butter.

Make sure to use birdshot.

Mine only holds 4 in the pipe but it is great for dove or duck hunting as well as small game and......I have an A5 in 12, 16, and 20 gauge in case I need to have a back up. Many times the unsaid truth that many forget is-------have plenty of ammunition. No excuse for running out.

I had a Remington 870. Great gun at an excellent price. I traded it for a brand new Glock but now wish I had the 870 back.

Damn the torpedoes's avatar

I have both, and more.

Ben's avatar

The number of mods available for them is crazy.

Glocks are solid guns as well.

I have several, but they always feel like I am trying to hold and shoot a 2X4.

What a Second American Civil War Would Actually Look Like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iryC9flXVVs

Everyone’s talking about “Civil War 2.0.”

But most of them have no clue what that would actually look like.

If a second Civil War ever breaks out in America, it won’t be opposing armies lining up on open battlefields with their muskets like we see glamourized in those old paintings.

It’ll be ideology versus ideology.

Cities burning from the inside. Power grids sabotaged. Cyberattacks. Lone-wolf violence. No front lines. No warning. Sniping. IED's. Terror. There will be NOTHING romantic about it. There will be chaos. I feel really bad for people with young children! It will be very difficult to obtain adequate food, water and especially medical attention. Those on maintenance medications might not make it.

Besides the 30 and under crowd will be on their phones filming. Most having never shot a real gun, and with the internet blacked out those "screens" will be as useful as 'tits on a bull.'

john galt's avatar

The Demoncraps have been preparing for this since Trump's first term and have upped the ante since his election. With their local, antifa and blm, and imported, millions of illegals, storm troopers, they are increasing the riots, more like insurrections, and destruction. Much of this is designed to prevent the corrupt Dems from going to jail as fighting in the streets would likely preclude any law enforcement against the political criminals. They are hellbent to get their power back even at the cost of a destroyed and fractured U.S. As marxists and useful idiots, power exceeds any concern about deaths and destruction.

Where are the charges against Omar???? She has pictures with the already convicted fraudsters of the feed the children bullshit. She had some party at one of the guys restaurants for goodness sakes. Not to mention she sponsored the bill that made it possible AND went from broke to$33 million in just a couple short years! Where's her name? Why has she been so obviously left out of this narrative???

Cankerpuss's avatar

She's a politician. Most likely nothing will happen to her. Notice I said MOST LIKELY. If I attempt to share some of same optimism as our host, there is always a chance that maybe, just maybe, some of these filthy fuckers will finally get it between the eyes.

Our Representatives have again proved that Term Limits are the only way forward!

My bet is that Trump goes after her before the midterms. Imagine the Democrat screams when he indicts her for immigration fraud and financial crimes.

Do NOT forget that Senate 'republicans' just voted 52-47 to block further Trump military actions in VZ. Confirmation of the Deep State operations in VZ. Drug money was used as the liquidity backstop in 2008/9. Do not forget this.

The traitors continue to dox themselves. Hawley was a surprise.

Surprise no more. Their hubris is larger than anything else as today we can see everything. It is pretty incredible.

Hawley has presidential aspirations - he really shouldn’t be trusted with anything. Sadly, he’s the senator from my state and he’s a fraud.

Alan's avatar

Can’t stand Cotton—did he vote with Hawley and Young?

Deana's avatar

The Senate just proved just how worthless they are. Their action has no teeth. Blocking something when there's nothing to block.

Maduro likely agreed to the "capture" as long as he spills all that he knows about the voting machine operation in VZ that installed the blue politicians in border states.

My hunch is Trump will use this information to bring the GOP in line as they benefited as well.

Danimal28's avatar

Very good points. I am convinced the parties in AZ and NM are fully bought or blackmailed by the cartels. Maybe even Cali.

John Schrauth's avatar

They are everywhere. It has been long alleged that gangs or cartels would deliver grocery bags filled with prepaid credit cards to various Democrat campaigns in Chicago as just one example.

Cankerpuss's avatar

Everything the filthy fuckers do in Congress is contrary to what is best for America and her people. Everything. The United States Congress is the most utterly useless government institution in the history of human kind. An utter and colossal failure of its responsibilities and should be razed to the ground. Each one of those Senators should be hanged for treachery.

Danimal28's avatar

Agreed. I think they are all fully corrupted and blackmailed. The latest case is MTG.

RevMikeyMac's avatar

Couldn't agree with you more! Proof? Name three pieces of legislation (just three!) that Congress has passed in support of Trump's MAGA mission.

>>Crickets<<

That's all the proof you need that they're in on the grift and graft.

Cankerpuss's avatar

Name three pieces of legislation those 535 pieces of shit in Congress have passed recently that has personally benefitted your or improved your life directly? I can't do it.

Kathy Christian's avatar

They're parasites that shit out legislation as their waste.

Cankerpuss's avatar

They think they are important and that we the people honor and adore them but in reality most people have nothing but utter disdain for them.

I was in the Salt Lake City airport waiting for a flight when a one Senator Mitt Romney exited the plane across the terminal. I watched as he walked down the terminal. The jeers, sneers and the catcalls that bastard received. Nobody asked him for an autograph or a selfie. I believe this is why the man didn't run for a second term.

I also remember another airport involving Burgess Owens, one of Utah's Congress creatures. He was walking along the terminal. He kept turning his head this way and that, darting his eyes to people standing by. He had this look of "I'm important, don't any of you want to talk to me?" Funny. Nobody made any attempts to talk to him.

Important people? Hell no. Hated people? Hell yes.

John Schrauth's avatar

You and I have said it before, the 17th amendment has done more harm to this country than anything I am aware of.

Cankerpuss's avatar

Absolutely. The Senate is worthless and nothing more than a glorified House of Representatives. The States have no representation. When they did the 17th Amendment the critical balance of power between the people, the states and the Federalists was destroyed. You know this, I don't need to preach to you. I wish more people knew this.

When republicans really want to, they can muster the votes for something right quick, can't they? The smart money says they're positioning themselves for the midterms.

It's a fucking goat rodeo. The left is inflamed with their own virtue signaling and the right with a seething desire for charges and prosecution. Last night I looked at a photo of Faucci through the tines of a fork just for the pleasure of seeing him behind bars. (Just kidding, but not by much.)

We have lost any propriety we once had as a society. The targeting of Erika Kirk is a sign of that. We used to leave grieving widows alone.

Civil war is coming, and it will be war, and won't be civil. Make sure you invest in the most precious metal.

Not just federal. Local cops, prosecutors, and judges are often even worse. In my city, most of the decent cops retired or went to the suburbs during covid. What is left is the bottom of the barrel whites and corrupt, moronic minorities who can't get another job.

Freedom 4 conservatives's avatar

Allow me to make a suggestion to President Trump. This whole illegal alien/sanctuary nonsense has gone on long enough. The solution is just lying there, already in Federal law. It is 8 U.S. Code §1324. It clearly states that, in any way, harboring, aiding, abetting or concealing an illegal alien (or aliens) is a Federal felony. Punishment upon conviction of violating that statute can be a combination of fines and imprisonment--and some very stiff ones at that. In fact, if an illegal alien being harbored, etc. in violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324 causes the death of another person, then those convicted of harboring, etc. of the illegal alien can be sentenced to up to life in prison or DEATH.

President Trump should immediately order the DOJ to arrest and charge every single public official sanctioning "sanctuary" jurisdictions (towns, cities, counties, states, etc.) with felony violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324. He should then make a public announcement of this in all of the media (Presidential Address or news conference) with the entirety of 8 U.S. Code §1324 posted clearly in view--in large print. He should also note that interfering with Federal agents enforcing that statute is effectively also a violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324, and those perps will also be felony-charged. President Trump should also note that any NGO providing financial support to illegal aliens or those aiding and abetting them will also find their leaders, financiers, etc. being felony charged, with possible RICO charges also on the table.

But, but, that will lead to the arrest and charging of hundreds, if not thousands of people on felony charges. Yep, damned straight that it will. And every one of them deserves to be charged. A side benefit of all that is that it would knock all of the support--financial and otherwise--out from under the illegal aliens in the U.S.--most of them would self-deport at that point.

Now, of course, this will send the Democrat scum Party of Chaos into full fury, especially when they see a huge number of their elected or appointed officials being perp-walked into jail to await trial. Some of them might get violent. Well, that will be FAFO time for them.

For the next 3 years (and please God 8 years of Vance) there are 2 and only 2 things I want the Federal Government to do: take back and secure the sovereignty of this Nation and completely dismantle the criminal syndicate now running top to bottom throughout the government. Nothing else matters.

Cankerpuss's avatar

If only Trump would read your suggestion.

Beth Nicolaides's avatar

Vance stated that there will be some big announcements relative to the widespread fraudulence, and I suppose they will come out in a Friday news dump again. Hopefully not to hide anything, but rather to foul up the weekends of the chair-warming parasites responsible for enabling this mess of crime.

Ben's avatar

Friday release is always about burying it.

If anything is released on Friday nothing will be done about it.

People are too busy watching the NFL playoffs on Saturday and Sunday to care about the Friday news dump and by the time Monday rolls around they are so hung over from all the booze that they don't remember.

The Friday night dump and the Saturday morning news are worth attention precisely because it is where the more nefarious deeds are 'hidden'.

Thomas's avatar

"protests"? It is especially ironic when those who seek to destroy our constitutional republic utilize that constitution to achieve this end. It is beyond cavil that these assorted protestors - most especially their crypto masters - seek ends that are antithetical to American values and ideals. I have to attest to not seeking to overthrow the US Government when I complete my permit for a firearm - in effect, conditioning my 2nd Amendment right to bear arms upon my not turning my firearm(s) against the government. I'd say that something along these lines should be applied to these brigands with respect to their street theater. The constitution was not intended to be a suicide pact. If you seek to harm my country and, by extension, me, then all sorts of consequences may occur.

Cankerpuss's avatar

That is why the Constitution can only function with a righteous and a moral people. That, my friend Thomas, is not what the majority of Americans are anymore.

William Wallace's avatar

Doesn’t mean that the Minority of the Righteous should give up!

It was the Minority of Citizens that had the idea of our Founding and fought the strongest military power to do so.

Many have followed in their path for us to make it here albeit ugly now that we are at the Precipice of our next generations of American Citizens and Patriots to pass this Constitutional Republic forward.

We are not going to be the ones who will be known for losing the greatest Nation that planet Earth has ever known!

I suspect one of the reasons they hate Trump so much is that he knows where some of the bodies are hidden, having been a Democrat party supporter.

The Democrats HATE traitors to the cause of buggering these United States.

Consider how Tulsi and RFK are now also considered enemy number one.

Both parties seem to have moblike tendencies, but the DNC and its supporters are out of their collective minds.

Bob Brown's avatar

Jim - I hope you are right and this version of the democratic party finally dies. But I don't see anyone out there to take the party in a different direction, as they ousted the people I might hope could do that (RFK and Tulsi). It is going to be another crazy year.

Yes, but will they do anything? I still believe most Americans are so terrified of the US Government and the police apparatus that they are paralyzed.

Ben's avatar

I have a gun locker full of guns, only one of which has actually killed anything.

A Remington .22 from 1969 single-shot bolt action.

Coyotes, ground squirrels, rattlesnakes, and other assorted chicken-killing or chicken food-stealing varmints.

I hope to never kill another thing but the occasional black widow or cockroach where they don't belong.

Cankerpuss's avatar

I always carry concealed and I often wonder if I would ever be able to pull that gun out and shoot another person. Thus far I have not even had a need to show the gun. I hope it stays that way.

Went deer hunting once and I shot a little three point. I kid you not, as I was dressing and skinning that small buck a voice entered my head and asked "did you really need to kill me for food?" That was the last time I killed a warm blooded animal and I have never been hunting since. I still have a hard time killing the fish I catch but they taste so damned good after a half hour on the smoker.

Lugh's avatar

The American Indians were wise in this regard, always apologizing to the animal for taking its meat and saying a prayer for its spirit.

Vegan Shark's avatar

I'm a hypocrite. I like many kinds of fish as food but I wouldn't go fishing -- I've too much empathy for the creatures struggling as they're pulled out of their natural element. It's the equivalent of watching a human drown.

Cankerpuss's avatar

I justify killing fish by the fact that I eat them. I didn't need to kill that deer. I had plenty of beef, pork and chicken at home. I don't know if animals have souls, but it has been 30 years since I killed that little buck and I still remember that voice that asked why I killed it. Most likely it was my conscience speaking to me, but I swear it was a voice and it moved me to the point that I haven't hunted since. Now, I am a hypocrite because I love meat. I eat lots of chicken, pork, fish and on occasion, beef. Yes, those animals die as well. I get it, but, I only obtain what I need.

Minnesota will not be permitted to turn ICE agent Jonathan Ross into another Derek Chauvin. That sort of hustle is over.

I've seen in passing on X that Ben Shapiro is talking about how Derek Chauvin is rotting in jail, and should be pardoned.

This entire thing with Ms. Good - whose entire life will be exposed - is going to be a giant shit show. Again we will be seeing clearly the 2 approaches to the incident. The Left Media, lying about her, and X digging up the truth. But somehow, even though we tend to give some benefit of doubt, and not make definitive statements till we have the facts, the leftties will always paint the narrative - "she was just sitting in her car"...NPR.

The fraud moves to the bottom of the heap of crap, and this story will go on for days and days.

Just sitting in her car sideways to the flow of traffic, ignoring lawful orders to move.

When she finally did comply, it was after she was told to get out of the car.

Instead of just moving, she floored it, broke traction, drove recklessly, and bounced her car off a pedestrian, and was shot to death for it.

She controlled her own demise, and good riddance.

This was obvious from most of the videos except the ones the lame stream media appears to have removed some frames from.

NPR should go the way of the DoDo, and yes, Leany, it will be a shit show.

100% on point.
