This is the end.

Biden is not capable of parsing the daily talking point meeting (much less the threat matrix), takes in maybe the one or two highlights (remarkably, or perhaps not, no different than his entire career), and then shouts it because The White Hospice ran out of game to easily control a senile (now 80) man with a history of strokes and sunset syndrome, when COVID faded.

That was the moment they were left with the actual product of the Steal.

The zombie who repeated "Salute the Marines." from his earpiece not just 2 minutes after finished his puppet-state installation.

The present Democrat panic -- once removed from the Deep State, to be fair, they do not care in the slightest -- is that the USA has encountered its first Ceaușescu.

And given that Ceaușescu isn't that far removed in the public Zeitgeist -- everyone over 50 experienced Ceaușescu in real time...

"The mass meeting of 21 December 1989, held in what is now Revolution Square, began like many of Ceaușescu's speeches over the years. He [shouted] of the achievements of the "Socialist revolution" and Romania's "multi-laterally developed Socialist society". He also blamed the Timișoara riots on "fascist agitators who want to destroy socialism".

However, Ceaușescu had misjudged the crowd's mood. Roughly eight minutes into his speech, several people began jeering and booing, and others began chanting "Timișoara!" Images of Ceaușescu's facial expression as the crowd began to boo and heckle him were among the most widely broadcast of the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe.

Failing to control the crowd, the Ceaușescus took cover inside the building that housed the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party. The rest of the day saw an open revolt of Bucharest's population, which had assembled in University Square and confronted the police and army at barricades. The rioters, however, were no match for the military apparatus concentrated in Bucharest, which cleared the streets by midnight and arrested hundreds of people in the process.

By the morning of 22 December, the rebellion had already spread to all major cities across the country... Believing that Milea had been murdered, rank-and-file soldiers switched sides to the revolution almost en masse. The commanders wrote off Ceaușescu as a lost cause and made no effort to keep their men loyal to the government. Ceaușescu made a last desperate attempt to address the crowd gathered in front of the Central Committee building, but the people in the square began throwing stones and other projectiles at him, forcing him to take refuge in the building once more. He, Elena and four others managed to get to the roof and escape by helicopter, only seconds ahead of a group of demonstrators who had followed them there.

On Christmas Day, 25 December 1989, the Ceaușescus were tried before a court convened in a small room on orders of the National Salvation Front, Romania's provisional government.

They faced charges including illegal gathering of wealth and genocide. Ceaușescu repeatedly denied the court's authority to try him, and asserted he was still legally the President of Romania. At the end of the trial, the Ceaușescus were found guilty and sentenced to death.

Three weeks ago, we toured that square, those buildings.

The Romanians still remember that day, the years “before 1989c in every conversation with the Western visitors.
