"It was a coup, and I'm using that term literally ... One egregious felony after another." — Stephen Miller.
America is tired of being driven insane, of having absurdities crammed into our collective consciousness. Reality is an agreement about what is going on in the world. That act of faith requires such an agreement be based on what is demonstrably true. Without it, society dissolves into chaos and failure.
The RussiaGate psychodrama is about an agreement based on lies. It started with Hillary Clinton’s desperate ploy to save her foundering 2016 election campaign. Her emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct. It was easy to declare the Russians did it, by hacking — when it was much more likely, in fact, proven by a forensic audit, that a Clinton campaign insider downloaded the info on a thumb drive, perhaps one Seth Rich, found murdered on a DC sidewalk soon thereafter.
Every lie after that met the kind of skepticism among the public that generates heat, controversy, scandal, and fire. Hillary managed to enlist President Barack Obama and his executive agencies into her project, and the party apparatus with it, because the Clinton Victory Fund had paid the DNC’s debts and took over its management. Soon, the Russia collusion project grew into a gigantic scaffold of flaming lies. The big newspapers and the TV news networks bought the story, and came along for the ride. They were all sure Hillary would win the 2016 election. All the heat and fire would get flushed away. The polls all said so. The agencies and the parties would pick up and go on as before, run the show, make careers, get wealthy, be important!
They miscalculated. They lost. But they decided to keep building the scaffold of lies in order to protect themselves from the danger it represented — because they lived in that scaffold, it was the party’s house. And the scaffold of lies needed massive fortification. The house that the party lived in had to be protected at all costs, or they would all be cast out, homeless, a whole party on street, lost, broke, ruined, dying, like the pitiful tweakers bent over out on Kensington Avenue in Philly, in every Democrat-run city, really.
And so, they undermined the winner of the election at every turn, worked furiously to drive him from office, made a plague happen, subverted the 2020 election, and spent four years under a fake president jamming absurdities into the public arena, turning it into a freak show, one drag-queen story hour after another, from sea to shining sea. All to defeat the return of a public consensus about reality based on what is demonstrably true — starting with the fact that there are men and there are women, and that the primary interaction between them keeps society going by producing offspring.
This enormous, drawn-out insurrection, composed of serial felony crimes, amounts to the greatest insult against the republic — the res publica, in Latin, the public thing — in the nation’s history. And now it is coming apart as an overwhelming majority of citizens, including now many Democrats, can’t avoid discovering what has happened in the country. Because lies are weak and the truth is sturdy and eventually truth prevails, even after an arduous struggle.
The old news media complex, the networks and the papers, are not reporting the recent disclosures by the Directors of the CIA, the FBI, and National Intel. What will it take to get their attention? Arrests and perp-walks of formerly important officials? And then, do they acknowledge and atone for their disgraceful participation in the events? Or pretend they couldn’t figure any of it out for years and years? Poor us, we didn’t know! Suddenly, it looks like many of these “legacy” news outfits are going out-of-business. They’re throwing their performers over the side like sinking ships casting off so much useless ballast.
You knew this was coming, right? Now, here you are: the hour that consequence finally returns from its wanderings in a wilderness of institutional failure. There’s no evading it anymore. The scaffold of lies has collapsed, and trying to add additional lies will amount to throwing a few twigs on a heap of smoldering wreckage.
The institutions themselves are under new management, and they show every sign of returning to regular operation, doing what they were designed to do in the first place: deliver a truthful account of what has happened and determine a just consequence for the people who made it happen. It’s going to happen, and then we can rebuild a coherent public consensus about what is really real, who we really are, and where we go from here.

I think this will get the MSM’s attention when one of the document dumps includes e-mails showing who in the press was receiving the Dem’s talking points memos (remember the famous compilations of reporter after reporter using identical language to cover “news”), and who in the Biden administration was writing them.
When the names of the complicit members of the MSM come out, people will pay attention.
Don’t forget the ultimate assassination attempts.
These are the Senators who voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court justice. These wicked people, and the people who elected them, need to be held in utter contempt and scorn.

Little lefties and brain dead democrat voters, it’s time you realized that “We the People” have had enough.
Enough of your b*llsh*t, your fetishes pranced around in public, your laziness, your mentally ill self-loathing and your entitlement.
Enough of the democrat party lust for power and wealth at our expense and your willingness to remain a serf in their world.
You call US “nazis” when it is YOUR ideology that has given the world every dictatorship, every genocide, every atrocity in history.
You call US “cultists” when it is YOU who cannot function without your daily Google headline, it is YOU who are totally incapable of critical thinking. You are immune to facts.
Well, buckle up buttercup- We are about to make SHAME fashionable again. We ARE going to fight back, and the revolution did not start with Trump. It started when this country made its biggest mistake- Barack Obama. You see, your “leadership” thought it had achieved its goals- to “fundamentally change” America. They thought they couldn’t be stopped anymore. I, personally, want to thank the worst in our society for awakening a sleeping giant.
Rush Limbaugh (that great and greatly missed man) said it best- “I don’t vote for him because *I* agree with HIM, I vote for him because HE agrees with ME.”
Trump is OUR revolution and I can’t tell you how much I love it that he sticks in your throat! Don’t ever imagine that it stops with him.
Naah... No biggie. AI has us on the cusp of being able to manufacture truth. Then we'll tell you to just take it.
Do I really need a sarc tag?
B T T Truth
“You call US “nazis” when it is YOUR ideology that has given the world every dictatorship, every genocide, every atrocity in history.”
So true. So-called “gender affirming care” for innocent, ignorant children is nothing but Nazi medicine, as practiced by Doktor Josef Mengele of Auschwitz fame.
Gaslighting for me started with Obama’s birth certificate.
A blazing fake documentary was presented to the people. Those who rightfully called it out as a fake were mocked as “Birthers”.
After that, I was past feeling. Anything can be ignored even when the evidence is standing right before the public.
They also call us “Birthers”.
Collins, Murkowski, and Romney. No big Surprise.
What was to become 'the MAGA base' knew all along - and we were hated for knowing...
Rotten to the core.
