they look at Trump as a vampire and they
0:02
put a stake in his heart but they’re
0:04
afraid that that stake could come out
0:06
any time that he’s on dying and they’re
0:09
afraid of him they are terrified of you
0:11
know why they’re terrified of him
0:13
because they think he’s smarter this
0:14
time and he has just cause to really get
0:17
angry because of what they did to him
0:19
they can write all of the Atlantic
0:21
Monthly and they can write all the New
0:23
Yorker clever glib little essays about
0:26
Donald Trump was a threat to democracy
0:29
or they can write all their little Molly
0:31
ball time essays how clever and
0:33
Brilliant they were with their cabals
0:35
and their conspiracies to get rid of
0:37
them but deep down inside they know that
0:40
if the right ever did that to Barack
0:42
Obama or Joe Biden they could have
0:45
really made something out of the fact
0:46
that Barack Obama had a hot mic expose
0:49
where he told the president of Russia
0:51
you tell Vladimir that I will be
0:54
flexible on missile defense that’s the
0:56
security of the United States of America
0:59
if he gives me space in my last election
1:01
and Putin did do that that’s an
1:03
impeachable offense if a phone call to
1:06
Ukraine is so they didn’t understand
1:07
that that the right could have done that
1:09
to them and they understand now the
1:11
right probably will do that to them for
1:13
their own Survival and they are scared
1:15
they’re saying if a mega candidate wins
1:18
and they win the house and the Senate
1:19
we’re cooked because they’re going to
1:21
get special prosecutors and they’re
1:22
going to go after the Biden family like
1:24
they’ never gone after anybody and
1:26
they’re going to find stuff cuz we know
1:28
Joe is crooked and then they’re going to
1:30
go after Mary Garland and they’re going
1:31
to go after mayoras and they’re not
1:33
going to stop and that’s why they’re
1:35
scared and they’re going to do any
1:37
everybody thinks that the danger passed
1:39
they got what they wanted no no no no no
1:41
you’re never going to see anything like
1:43
what they’re going to do in
1:45
2024 all this could have been reconciled
1:48
all they had to do was say Donald Trump
1:51
should not be president if that’s what
1:52
they believe and we’re not going to do
1:55
any laware we’re not going to try to
1:57
change the voting laws we’re not going
1:59
to going to pack the court we’re not
2:01
going to let in two states we’re not
2:03
going to try to abolish the Senate full
2:06
of Buster we’re not going to try to
2:08
change the uh voting ID laws we’re just
2:12
going to play under under the rules that
2:14
we have we don’t need $419 Million by
2:17
Mark zukerberg Infuse we don’t need Sam
2:20
bankman freed the crook giving US1
2:23
million we’re not going to go under the
2:25
radar with George we’re just going to
2:27
show you the American people how we
2:30
think Donald Trump should not be
2:32
president and we’ll have a feral and
2:34
they can’t do that they don’t trust
2:36
themselves they think you know what
2:38
anybody in his right mind would close
2:40
that border right now close the border
2:44
anybody in his right mind would recall
2:46
all of those Das that have destroyed
2:48
these major cities anybody in his right
2:51
mind would not beg the Saudis are the
2:54
Venezuelans are the Russians are the
2:56
Iranians to pump oil on the eve of a
2:59
midterm or drain this strategic
3:01
petroleum when you have so much natural
3:04
gas and oil in the nobody in their right
3:06
mind would do that and nobody in their
3:07
right mind would ever just pull out of
3:10
Afghanistan without warning just so Joe
3:13
Biden can say that on the 20th
3:15
anniversary of 911 or the original
3:17
October uh invasion of Afghan I’m the
3:20
president that got us out nobody would
3:22
do that and nobody would print $6
3:25
trillion when there’s an pint up demand
3:28
postco lockdown down and there’s a
3:31
supply chain disruption and throw that
3:34
money without any audit or examination
3:37
of who got it and why and how it was
3:39
spent but to inflate the economy and
3:42
ruin it nobody would do that and so they
3:44
know that and they know that they can’t
3:46
take that record to the American people
3:48
they have a deductive mind because
3:50
they’re ideologue so they start with a
3:52
premise that we’re for social justice
3:56
and for Equity of result and so we’re
3:58
moral morally Superior and smarter than
4:01
anybody else and therefore we are
4:03
entitled to do things that other people
4:05
don’t do and so if under the cover of
4:08
covid and frightening people about covid
4:10
we can change all the voting laws so
4:12
that 30% instead of voting absentee and
4:16
early voting shall become 70% in the
4:18
states with very little audit of the
4:21
level necessary to authenticate most
4:24
ballots they just do all this stuff
4:25
because they start with the deductive
4:27
principle we are better this is the
4:30
vision and therefore the following must
4:32
happen and if things don’t fit the
4:34
narrative then they go after the person
4:37
they censor they that’s how they work
4:40
and if you keep that in mind then
4:42
everybody makes sense and what I’m
4:44
saying is they go on from one lie to the
4:47
next so everybody now knows that Donald
4:50
Trump we just discussed it was impeached
4:52
for things that Joe Biden got away with
4:54
okay everybody knows a laptop was
4:57
authentic everybody knows that now
5:00
everybody knows it would have made a big
5:01
difference on that debate When Donald
5:03
Trump said it was and Joe Biden said no
5:06
no no 51 authorities everybody knew that
5:10
Dinko and Charles or whatever his name
5:13
Dolan and Christopher steel were frauds
5:17
and especially Glen Simpson and that
5:19
Hillary Clinton took over an old never
5:22
Trumper file inflated it with a million
5:25
bucks got the FBI on it to hire
5:28
Christopher Steel as a consultant inform
5:30
forant hid her so-called legal expenses
5:34
and she was fined and cited for that
5:36
violation through Perkins Coe Fusion GPS
5:40
DNC and that that file was fraudulent it
5:44
was made up I said that from the first
5:45
thing I saw it everything in it was
5:47
false and yet we wasted 22 months and
5:51
$40 million to know it was obvious no
5:54
apology in fact not only no apologies
5:57
they got bulletz or Prize winners some
5:58
of the reporters every time they give
6:00
these monstrous lies there’s no
6:03
apologies they just and and why should
6:05
they because in their way they’re just
6:06
narratives they’re postmodern fukan laan
6:10
derah Nar narratives they were useful so
6:13
that’s what they look back well they
6:14
were useful at the time because when we
6:16
went through the Mueller investigation
6:18
when we went through the laptop we
6:20
crippled Donald Trump and therefore we
6:22
were able to stop him we had anonymous
6:25
anonymous he was burrowed deep into the
6:28
homeland security he was a minor
6:30
official but we said he was one of the
6:31
major operatives in the Trump administ
6:33
we lied and then we printed as opit cuz
6:36
it did what it was supposed to do it
6:38
weakened this right-wing agenda so they
6:41
think and we got Admiral mcraven and he
6:44
came in and wrote an opit and said Trump
6:46
should leave the sooner the better and
6:48
then we got all of the four stars
6:51
mcaffrey mccristal all of them to say
6:53
that Trump was Hitler that he was mellan
6:56
that he was a liar that he was danger we
6:58
got mark Millie to call the Chinese we
7:01
did all of this and yes we do not want
7:04
this to be done to us if right now a
7:07
retired fourstar General says that Joe
7:10
Biden is scile or he’s dangerous or the
7:14
Afghanistan is a disaster and he should
7:17
be removed sooner or later or his
7:20
weaponization of the doj or the FBI is M
7:24
musolini like or his hounding of
7:28
individual people at school boards or
7:32
the way he conducted The marago Raid is
7:34
remnant of it’s nail likee and I’m just
7:36
quoting from what they’ve said you know
7:38
what’s going to happen to those people
7:40
you’re going to get Mary Garland to call
7:42
up a pentagon and they’re all going to
7:44
be slapped with a code 88 uniform code
7:47
of military Justice and they’re going to
7:49
be Court marshal for disparaging the
7:51
commander-in-chief trust me they would
7:53
in 2 seconds and that’s not going to
7:55
happen first they’re not going to say
7:57
anything because they’re not equally
7:58
going to apply apply their standards of
8:00
correct behavior on the part of the and
8:03
second all they’re going to say
8:04
something with Donald Trump because they
8:06
know that that the media and the
8:08
Pentagon are not going to do anything to
8:09
them now oh man they would they would
8:12
destroy them if they ever criticize the
8:14
commander and chief they would go after
8:16
him like you wouldn’t believe and they
8:18
know that and so what we’re talking
8:20
about I guess to sum up and end this
8:23
they understand deterrence they are
8:25
saying to the American people we are s
8:27
sobs we’re capable of everything and
8:30
anything now which side do you want to
8:32
be on because if you’re on our side you
8:35
can do what Hunter Biden is there’s no
8:37
consequences if you want to say that the
8:39
voting machines are crooked like Jill
8:41
Stein go ahead she did in 2016 if you
8:44
want to be barbar boxer and 32 Democrats
8:47
and say you know what we’re not going to
8:48
certify the Ohio count and hold up the
8:51
whole election we’re going to try to do
8:52
that don’t worry they got they did it in
8:55
2004 if you’re Al Gore and the registar
8:58
and the attorney general says well the
9:00
votes have been counted and they have
9:02
been certified in Florida oh no we’re
9:04
going to sue we’re going to sue and hold
9:06
up the entire election for a month and
9:09
so you can do all of that as long as
9:11
you’re on our side but if you don’t do
9:14
that and you want to go on the other
9:16
side then you’re going to be in big
9:17
trouble that’s that’s the message that
9:19
they’re trying to say that’s what we’re
9:20
really getting down to join The Winning
9:23
Side it’s sort of like in the Soviet
9:25
Union if you’re part of the nomenclature
9:27
and you join the party you’re exempt if
9:29
you’re not well you’re on your own
9:31
people say to me well you’re an academic
9:34
and you spent your whole life how did
9:36
you deal with those 94% of all academics
9:40
are leftwing and I’m just using that
9:42
percentage because that’s a percentage
9:43
of those who give money to political
9:46
campaigns 94% go to leftwing or
9:48
Democratic causes and and they said why
9:50
are they so leftwing is it they have
9:52
tenure they’re exempt from the worrying
9:54
about losing their job they have
9:56
guaranteed step increases they have a N9
9:59
Monon work year is it because they teach
10:02
their one or two classes a semester what
10:04
is it that makes them are they
10:06
idealistic CU they deal with words or I
10:09
didn’t I said no no no no they
10:13
understand with if you want to be get
10:15
tenure and you want to be promoted and
10:17
you want to be liked you just parrot the
10:20
majority cause if it PID better they’d
10:23
be
10:28
fascist

Brace yourself indeed.

Democrats are the (NPC) white walkers. Trump has dragon energy (quoting [kan]ye).

Despite all their hand wringing about Jan.6 being an “insurrection”, if Trump polls ahead of Biden this summer/fall, you’re going to see the real insurrection.... and it will all be (deep) state sanctioned

From my view here’s what will happen.

Biden or some other democRat gets elected president and the country crashes and becomes a third world crap hole that is preferred by that guy Deep State.

Or, Trump wins reelection and the dems do as Mr Deep State demands and sets the country on fire, literally.

I must admit I have a lot of trepidation regarding 2024.

Not the least of which is the constant push for World War III.

And the upcoming election.

And COVID-19.DNC.24

The prediction here in the video is that the left is scared because the right is going to prosecute them like they prosecuted us.

To that prediction, I call BS!!!

The GOP has consistently demonstrated it doesn’t have the balls to prosecute ANY level of democrat corruption!

He says the left is “scared” because of what Trump is going to do to them when he gets back in office...

I say they are no more “scared” than Hamas is... or Iran is... or take your pick of any demented bastard that is so corrupt in their own mind they consider themselves invincible.

Yeah: I, too, would have appreciated a thumbnail sketch of what we should brace ourselves for in 2024.

Three short, concise sentences would have sufficed. The justification for those assertions could have then come later.

It was an excellent commentary by VDH, but it ended on a very discouraging note after starting somewhat positively.

The point I took from it was that, if Trump wins, the Left is going to be brought to justice for how they have raped America. And it won't be just Trump who brings the Left to justice, it will be the entire system that has been raped by the Left.

what you need to be concerned about is 2025 after the dems steal another election and take over the house. When they have it all, they will come after all us dissenters.
