Deep State Quietly Starting to Fear the Worst: the Return of the Trump Wrecking Ball
PJ Media ^ | 05/22/2023 | Athena Thorne

Worried about too much systemic rigging and fraud for a Republican ever to win office again? Good news! The riggers themselves are quietly starting to worry it may happen.

Politico ran a story on Friday, and I must say, the title quickened my pulse. Tellingly titled, “Hurricane Trump Is Coming — And Washington Hasn’t Bothered to Prepare,” the story ran with the subhead, “After 2020, reformers vowed to erect guardrails against a rogue chief executive. They ran into a wall of complacency, partisanship and distraction.”

As if Leftists would have done a single thing to curtail executive overreach while they held office. Puh-lease.

The article fretted that the complacent deep state has done nothing to rein in a president who is on the wrong team. Pardon the lengthy quote, but here is the gist of the Politico piece:

In many ways, the book [After Trump, a volume of proposals designed to protect the nation from future rogue chief executives] was the culmination of a conversation that preoccupied Washington during the Trump years, briefly turning members of the Beltway’s legal-ethics and good-government commentariat into local celebrities: How to shore up a system that depends on the observation of fast-fraying American political norms? Goldsmith and Bauer, with long tenures in and around government, may have produced the highest-profile laundry list, but they were hardly the only ones planning for a new age of political reform.

In fact, the premise of the book, and the broader conversation, was that it would be acted on in some future America, either 2021 or 2025, that had definitely turned the page from the 45th president — a country in the mood for a 21st-century update of the post-Watergate reforms that had aimed to Nixon-proof the presidency.

Good, they deserve to worry.

The deep state should fear pissed off patriots. The deep state all have names. They all have addresses. And they all likely have pissed off patriot neighbors who know their names and where they live. The deep state scorched earth strategy could splash back badly on them. Just sayin’.

They will have people in place once again if he gets in. It will be up to Trump to fire and hire the right people. Other Presidents tried to drain the swamp or disband the FBI or CIA or DOJ.

There was an earlier thread which summarized what we already knew:

The FBI had had solid evidence of Hillary Clinton colluding with Russia. But the FBI was afraid of repercussions if they were to investigate Hillary and if she then won in 2016. They did not want to face the wrath of President Hillary Clinton, and so they dropped their investigations, even though they did have solid evidence.

Meanwhile, the FBI had no evidence at all of Donald Trump colluding with Russia. But they investigated him any way. Before he was elected, after he was elected, after he was out of office. The FBI did not seem to have any fear of the wrath of Donald Trump.

Lesson: The Trump wrecking ball is going to need to step up its game. If the FBI is afraid of Hillary and not Trump, then something is wrong.

Yes, their worries are not unfounded. A lot of them are going to hang.

Don’t be over confident, people. These evil bastards play for keeps. Be strong, fight and don’t give up. The corrupt leaders may have some areas that they worry about but you’d better be sure they have the money and man power, tech in place to steal! Take back your local cities, townships and schools first. Most of the mandates from WEF start there. To get after the powerful top is to eradicate the bottom.

And maybe something is right. One thing the progressive leftists have been doing in greater numbers is showing who they are, where they are and what they are willing y O do. Pendulums always swing one direction...and then the other.

They need not fear. Biden will be re-elected with 101 million votes, once the 55 million mail-in ballots are counted.

They also know that we’re not prepared to lie, cheat, and steal like they do, so it ain’t gonna happen.

The deep state is not worried...

They are preparing another ‘Steele’ type dossier, but this time, he’ll be accused of conspiring with the Martians to destroy the Earth.

Hey, if they could make up the Steele/Hillary dossier against Trump, they can conjure up any other kind of conspiracy.

Democrats will never give up the destruction of Trump, even after he’s dead and buried.

President Trump 2.0 will have no illusions about giving the wicked the “benefit of the doubt.” There is no doubt the BIG bulldozers will be coming in huge numbers.

Trump knows the scoundrels will have to be mowed down in square-mile sections and the ground salted so they cannot rise again.

I’ll take whatever wrecking ball we can get. It’s about time the smug denizens of D.C. got a big kick in the pants.

They’re not worried at all. They will stop at nothing to deny him the Whitehouse. Mainly because they can’t afford to allow it, as they’re too invested in treason at this point.

I am mostly concerned about someone/something seriously compromising his health, or his very life — do you really doubt that they would hesitate to employ assassination to remain in power (again)?

"Deep State Quietly Starting to Fear the Worst: the Return of the Trump Wrecking Ball"

The Democrats needed to pull off the perfect crime when they allegedly stole the Oval Office in 2020, the perfect crime being one that nobody knows has been committed.

The problem is that since everything that Democrats and RINOs touch turns into dirt, Democrats and media cohorts unthinkingly left a hurricane-wide path of evidence of stolen elections in 2020, 2022, that the court of public opinion has been wising up to imo.

So Democrats are slowly wising up to the reality that their clock is ticking imo.
