The Deep State vs Donald Trump saga is not over
The Spectator ^ | 20 Dec, 2022 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 12/20/2022 5:37:08 PM PST by MtnClimber

Will the J6 Committee backfire as its status as a politicized vendetta becomes unbearably obvious?

As I have said before, I hope that the new Congress, which begins its session in just a couple of weeks, will continue the work of the January 6 Committee, minus Liz Cheney and the other kangaroos. The New York Times, in its best slant-the-news-while-appearing-magisterial modality, described the Committee’s 100-plus-page “Executive Summary” as a “report into the effort to overturn the 2020 election.” But surely the far greater attempt to impact the 2020 election was the FBI’s infiltration of Twitter and other social media platforms, Mark Zuckerberg’s half a billion dollars distributed like alms to NeverTrump sororities in battleground cities, etc., etc.

All that should be the work of the new Congress. The old Congress wasn’t interested in the truth. They were interested reminding us plebs who is in charge — hint, it is not “We the People” — and, above all, they were committed, as Lonesome Liz Cheney herself put it, to “making sure that Donald Trump never gets near the Oval Office again.”

Someday, when all the smoke clears, future historians will be busy investigating how it was that a flamboyant real estate developer called Donald Trump went from being the most improbable presidential candidate since Andrew Jackson (or, maybe, since the founding of the republic) to being the most investigated and calumniated president in history.

The entire bureaucratic machinery of the state was surreptitiously mobilized against this one individual. It is only gradually that we are learning about this. Remember the Russia Collusion Delusion? The country spent tens of millions of dollars conducting a sham investigation that hobbled Trump during his first term.

The great comedy was that the entire charade was the work of state actors

These people are probably all atheists who think there will be no accountability for lying and bearing false witness.

Biden Administration is going have to make Trump a "martyr" so they'll have to arrest him. But many of the Republicans are not going to take the base, a lot of us are backing DeSantis.

Biden wants a rematch with Trump because he knows he'll win.

More Bullshit from a known Troll!

Like Biden, in his diminished capacity, knows anything at all.

Go back and lick the hands of your Globalist / Establishment Masters!

You keep backing a dude that is not running.

If he does run, we will have a primary, and if there are no fingers on the scale, the best man will prevail, and we will all support that man. Right?

Right?

Trump was a huge mistake!

Trump Was a Mistake:
American Greatness ^ | December 19, 2022 | Dan Gelernter

He was the biggest mistake machine politicians had made in over a century.

The success of Trump’s presidency dealt establishment politicians a heavy blow.

A second Trump term might kill them, and they know it.

So, be prepared to hear nothing about Trump’s candidacy, nothing about his massive rallies, nothing about the unwavering enthusiasm of his supporters.

Be prepared to hear only one thing: That the “people” don’t want him. But don’t believe it.

Remember which people are doing the talking!

Correct, sir.

All I am predicting what Biden Administration is likely going to do. They want us to back Trump.

Biden's handlers know that independents and RINOs are not going to vote for Trump in 2024.

Romans 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Though I wouldn’t wish hellfire and brimstone on anyone, we might have to wait for eternity, for vengeance. I doubt we will get much justice in this life.

“They want us to back Trump.”

Boy do they have you fooled!

Naw, these these ‘tards are terrified of Trump. Its funny, they so scared, they have reprogrammed some of their bots to have two positions: 1. Support Ukraine 2. Support DeSantis

Now I am not saying DeSantis is bad.... I’m saying he scares the left less. Which tells me who I need to support.

But you know all this.

SloJo Biden spent the election in his basement since he knew the fix was in. Arizona Secretary of State spent the election in the restroom since she knew the fix was in.

Trump’s 2016 win upset the Ruling Class, the status quo, and the previously unending Federal money spigot. So many entities depend upon the leviathan. They never took Trump seriously until it was too late. Trump was able to get rid of quite a bit of recent legislation. A little known rule lets a current congress cancel recently passed legislation. While Paul Ryan is a creep, he did assist with that.

As Rush always says, they cannot compete in the arena of ideas. Obama never ‘competed’ in the Illinois elections, he just removed his opponent. For Illinois State Senate, Obama challenged the registration and removed any meaningful competition (so much for ‘counting every vote’). For the United States Senator from Illinois election, he somehow was able to ‘unseal’ a court-ordered sealed divorce record of his opponent Jack Ryan just before the election. The details destroyed Ryan’s campaign, and there was no time for anyone else to mount a campaign, so again, no competition.
