Sick Of and Done With

“Biden is not well. Everyone knows this even those who support him…the difference is they don’t care and that’s the most frightening aspect of this situation.” — Edward Dowd

They’re kidding, right? That “Joe Biden” is capable of being president? Not just for another four-year term, but right here and now? This has got to be the most pitiful case of national gaslighting since 218-AD when the Romans installed 14-year-old Heliogabalus to front for their empire. Like “JB,” he reigned for four years (before the praetorian guard offed him). The Danish historian of ancient Rome, Barthold Niebuhr, said of him: “. . . [He] had nothing at all to make up for his vices, which are of such a kind that it is too disgusting even to allude to them.”

(snip)

Dunno about you, but for the first time in a life lived through many decades of purportedly rational post-war Modernity, I’ve developed a sympathetic view of how come people in earlier eras resorted to burning witches. They are obdurate public nuisances. Their “magic” lately is the ability to provoke a mass formation psychosis, an actual “threat to our democracy” or, more precisely, to our republic.

Damn straight.

Kunstler is a national treasure.

>> I have alleged for years that the motif driving batshit-crazy, Cluster-B Democratic Party women is that Donald Trump represents Daddy’s-in-the-house. In their boundaryless state-of-mind nothing threatens the Cluster-B ladies as much as the imposition of boundaries by a fearsome daddy figure. Daddy = the monster of monsters to them.

This is the first plausible alternative I have seen to the concept that “Obama’s really the one running things in the ‘Beidan’ white house”.

I.e. it’s not Obama running things... but rather Obama’s wimmen.

Kinda like Charles Manson’s wimmen... [shudder]

Kunstler: “Mark this essential fact of life: truth is sturdy and lies are fragile. So, now you know what must, in the end, prevail.”

AMEN and AMEN.

OK, as you have probably surmised — and as is nearly disallowed on FR — I have finished reading the entire reference article! :-)

IMO it is one of Kunstler’s best. Thank you for posting it.

For those who missed it, Mark Levin, on his Sunday program, talked at length about Biden‘s diminished capacity.

Any discussion about the diminished capacity of at least half of the American people?

Anna Paulina Luna said that a Democrat colleague told her they were getting ready to remove The actor pretending to be Joe from the race and Kamala Harris was already contemplating throwing her name in the hat for CA governor.

this is the most frightening aspect, because we need to be asking WHY they don’t care

why does the entire party NOT CARE.

When we answer that question as a nation, only then will things change.

I heard a factoid several weeks ago that some 60% of Americans are on some sort of mental health medication...

I really think the Democrat Party is running their own scam on their own people. It goes something along the lines of:

Create the problem and then offer THE solution to get what you want. Letting Biden get so, so bad in front of the eyes of the world gives them the opportunity to create the solution as THEY want it.

The Biden problem is being run as a psyop to get people to accept whoever is the deep state solution. And that scares the hell out of me. As much as I want to say I despise the Biden regime...part of me feels great empathy for an old man being abused by the world of politics. God will have to sort out this old man’s sins as I think he is incapable of confession at this point, but that’s God’s call to make.

Because Biden is just a meat puppet to drag in front of the cameras.

The country is being run by Obama and Valerie (the repulsive lizard creature) Jarrett and they need a non-entity to serve as a human Potempkin Village who will read their words off the prompter and sign whatever papers they push in front of him.

He's the perfect Dem president and they will ride his rotting corpse into socialism as long as they can keep him vertical.

I have no compassion at all for those who declare themselves to be my enemies or condone their actions.

ZERO empathy for FJB, a man who helped create and nurtured the world of politics that now uses him. I could not care less how he feels about it now.

My enemy is my enemy and so is andy friend of my enemy.
