Kamala Unwinding...
Kunstler ^ | 10/11/2024 | James Howard Kunstler

Posted on 10/11/2024 9:22:44 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

“...we are facing a catastrophic collapse of governance. With democracy reduced to a tragedy or a farce (probably both things)..."

- Ugh Bardi

As the US increasingly resembles ancient Rome, being president is more and more dangerous. Something around 35 emperors met violent deaths, most from people in and around their courts. In other words, members of the Roman Deep State. An ugly situation is brewing in and around Washington DC.”

- Doug Casey

Don’t kid yourself: Kamala Harris does not want to be President of the United States. She doesn’t even want the ceremonial stuff, the incessant shuffling from one photo op to the next, the tedious Easter egg rolls, the prayer meetings, the turkey pardonings, the tiresome state banquets for men in strange headgear who are unfamiliar with using the fork and knife, and forbidden to sip chardonnay...

It’s obvious she has been played for a chump, that she was sandbagged into play-acting “the candidate” by an odd coalition of the distraught and the desperate — that is, the many agency blobsters who fear prison and the perfidious politicians such as Pelosi, Schumer, Mitch the Turtle, the Clintons, and Obama, paid to cover for the blob, often doing it badly, who fear the judgment of history, as well as the loss of their fortunes. Distraught and desperate characters make foolish decisions.

About thirty seconds after “Joe Biden” vowed to stay in the 2024 race, a delegation of these panicked pols paid him a call and passed him the black spot, knowing he could not credibly front for the massive election cheat underway. He was barely able to front for the previous one in 2020, when every lever of power got pulled to-the-max to conceal the truth about the steal, and to severely punish those who dared to murmur doubts about the election’s freeness and fairness.

How did they decide that Kamala would do any better? I assure you we will find out when the party explodes in recriminations sometime after November 5. It will probably turn out to look like the 2017 movie, The Death of Stalin, a frantic vaudeville of scheming buffoons oblivious to mundane doings of the suffering nation they pretend to serve. Unlike Nikita Khrushchev in 1953, Kamala did not prevail among this gang of squabbling clowns by force of personality or guile. She was merely a default setting as veep, arrived at to present the illusion of continuity and solidarity where none existed. She was not even involved in the backstage action. I doubt that anyone even asked her if she wanted the assignment — she was only notified after-the-fact. Thus, all the drinking.

The outstanding question: will the Democratic Party actually go ahead and attempt to execute an election steal despite growing evidence of a developing Trump landslide that might obviate it? The works are already in motion. The mail-in ballots went out long ago and early votes are getting cast by the day. The overseas ballots that require no US address or voter verification are flooding in by the millions and four years of open borders has 10-million illegal aliens (at a minimum) dispersed around the nation, great gobs of them planted in swing states, processed through the DMVs and social services — with the requisite automatic voter registration — their ballots already pre-bundled for harvest.

It could go a few ways.

One is, just let’er rip, harvest all those fake votes, stuff the drop-boxes, flood the zone, and do it all right in America’s face as if to say: we can do whatever we want. . . to get whatever we want. . . and you can’t stop us.

That is probably the point where blue America finds out exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for.

You might also expect a whole lot of state-organized resistance, especially in the populous red ones, Texas, Florida, real court cases over fraud this time, contested certification.

Or, the election could come out a hopeless unresolvable muddle. There’s no precedent for this and no provision in the Constitution, but you can imagine the Supreme Court having to decide a necessary do-over minus all recent gimmicks, paper ballots only, voters with proof of citizenship only, all voting on one re-scheduled election day before January 1.

This novelty would be something apart from the clunky Congressional machinery established for settling electoral college disputes, since it is predicated on various states’ inability to determine their electoral college vote in the first place, based on patent irregularity and fraud.

You could also imagine a period of disorder so deep and grave that the regime behind “Joe Biden” declares martial law. . . or, alternately the military — the martial institution — has to take matters into its own hands, shoving aside even “Joe Biden” and his filthy retinue.

Appalling to consider, I’m sure, but these things happen in history, and the Party of Chaos has set enough mischief in motion to wreck the election and wreck the country. Call it catastrophizing, if you will. There it is.

But to step back from that abyss, it appears that Mr. Trump’s momentum accelerates by the day, that he is becoming, at last, an implacable, irresistible juggernaut who will, perforce, overcome all the gimmicks, traps, and frauds arrayed against him. Kamala seems to think so. Have you ever seen such resignation, such loserdom-in-action as her recent performance on CBS’s 60-Minutes, or her pitiful admission on ABC’s The View that she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently beyond the excellent management of national affairs under “Joe Biden” (and herself as veep). Surely that said it all. She has nothing, brings nothing.

Long ago, she was a pretty girl with a law degree and an infectious laugh on the fringes of local politics in San Francisco.

The winds of fortune blew her this way and that way until she ended up way over her head, used by the reprobates around her as a mere device to stay out of jail.

She ends as an historical prank on her own country.

It must be deeply demoralizing to be used like that in front of the whole world.

...better to get Trump in so they can blame everything on him.

Yeah, sure... Good luck with that. An unbelievably bad strategy if they try something so ridiculous. Even democrats aren't that stupid.

Try to imagine her life after she loses. I tend to think it will be like Dan Quayle - complete disappearance. She won't even have an interesting book to write.

There will be no rehabilitating this cackling asshole and she will vanish into oblivion. Trump, like the Cheshire cat will still be grinning ear to ear.

Kunstler's essay reads like a Hollywood film proposal. Maybe a Rod Serling drama in which an entire nation is caught between the "pit of its fears and the summit of its" accomplishments...Whatever, a great deal more than Kamala appears to be unwinding.

The American commonweal has been wound tighter than a bulls butt at fly time. It's been in the works for at least three generations. A group of power crazed anal-retentives thought they could control a complex system with all sorts of hair-brained policies, while becoming wealthy and exalted in the process.

By appealing to human emotional weakness and covetousness, they wage class warfare and foment racial conflict to politically divide and conquer. God willing, this may finally be wearing thin with a public finding it increasingly hard to survive.

The Rats are convinced of their ability to elect any marionette they choose. I think the Harris situation is a case of miscalculation based as result of the corrupting nature of power. They may have finally gone too far...e.g. the border, inflationary policies, heavy-handed public heath policy etc..

Trump wins and the Dems will go into overdrive with their lawfare schemes. They’ll sue everyone Trump tries to get on his team to scare them off.

That’s what I fear!

Walz and Harris are both unlikeable, phony people. Walz reminds me of an angryTruman Capote.

She won’t need an ‘interesting book’.
As has become the norm on the left, Kamala’s future will be secured via the accepted Lefturd Money Laundering scheme...the ‘Book Deal’.
$25 or $30 million guaranteed, for her ‘memoirs’, and she should be set for life. Doesn’t matter if the thing goes direct from the printer to dhimmicrap warehouses and the Costco Bargain Book bin (like Killery’s last one).

Perhaps, before this election is over we will finally get to meet the men who put Trump up to this superhuman feat of taking down the Deep State.

If 2020 taught us anything it was that they can install anyone in the Presidency without missing a beat. Harris even if her heart isn’t in it isn’t a stretch for them. I am hopeful Trump will prevail but will have no illusions it’s going to be easy for him with the forces arrayed against him. Governing once in power that is. Winning the election will seem easier in comparison.

Having the 2nd amendment is one thing, having tig balls to use it is something else. Ever wonder why there never any female assassins except squeaky Frome?

There will be no landslide, on either side.

“but you can imagine the Supreme Court having to decide a necessary do-over”

No I can’t imagine that.

Exactly. Imagine you’re Trump or Vance and you “win” the election. It’s Inauguration Day and as you look out over the gathered crowds at the Capitol you know there is a malevolent Deep State behind you dedicated to your destruction.

God help us all.
