No Thanks, I’ll Be Skipping the Inauguration (Ditto Here Too!!!)
Townhall.com ^ | January 18, 2021 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 01/18/2021 3:07:38 AM PST by Kaslin

Hey, you guys have fun at the festival of Establishment onanism that will be the purported inauguration of that desiccated old weirdo, President Asterisk. Despite the questionable election process and slobbering media cheerleadin', they still barely managed to drag that tiresome zombie and the Presidentrix-To-Be over the finish line. I’m not celebratin’ nothin’.

The best part of Dementiafest 2021 is that it will be a sullen, sad affair installing the manifestly senile old pervert at the head of the ricketiest administration in memory while surrounded by at least two divisions of soldiers lest a gigantic army of dudes in Viking drag decide to show up. The bored troopers of the various National Guards of blue states, whose governors are making a huge show of sending their warriors out for the photo op because of the perilous peril of Fake Insurrection II, will be practically the only audience. I can only imagine what will be going through their heads as they stand there, under orders to feign attention to the rambling windbag up on the dais who is going on and on about the need for unity and the perfidy of those knuckle-dragging, gun-loving Jesus people of racism who must be completely excluded and disenfranchised because their interests conflict with those of the ruling caste.

I’m sure the Fredocon contingent will politely applaud the peaceful stealing of power, gently slapping their soft, girlish hands together before returning to their offices, loosening their bow ties, and pouring themselves a nice cup of chamomile tea as they prepare to crank out another barely noticed blog post on why True Conservatism™ totally requires that we all support the leftists in silencing the speech of the competitors of Conservative, Inc.

Have they ever demanded that a liberal be, to use the current term, deplatformed? Nah, these lapdogs would never bite the hand that feeds them scraps. We all stopped writing checks when they stopped pretending to fight for conservatism, but no worries. The Silicon Valley overlords stepped in to help, offering a Faustian bargain, which the hacks eagerly accepted. And the libs got their 30 pieces of silver’s worth.

The best part, the most delicious irony, is how back when the Wormtongue contingent was grifting us for all those years, one of their go-to pivots for dunning donors was an endless series of pleas to help fight the battle against those mean old libs at Gumbo State who were shutting down conservative speech on campus. Send money now to fight the fight! Many a lido deck panel pontificated on the threat of censorship before everyone adjourned to enjoy a refreshing Zima and vie for the attention of the fussy likes of Jay Nordlinger as he made a pass through the throngs of assembled suckers. Ahoy!

The Establishment converted Washington, DC, into a fortress guarded by troops strewn about on cold marble floors because that looked more compelling than showing them in cots and sleeping bags on sleeping mats that every one of them was issued. This is supposed to send a message of strength and resolution in response to a small riot that would barely have made the papers last summer but is now three of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse because it happened at the Establishment’s house instead of at Sen. Josh Hawley’s house, or your house. When it was your business on fire, it was a mostly peaceful protest, and you needed to get over it. When it happened to the people who let last summer fester, well, then it was an insurrection/coup/sedition for totally real. Hence, they summoned more soldiers to Washington to make sure a ceremony that nobody but the elite cares about goes off A-OK. Just think of what those soldiers could do stopping the bloodshed in Chicago, where the average Friday night sees exponentially more carnage than what those goofs – who seem to include some leftists – committed on Capitol Hill.

First on the Senate agenda will not be the Biden* program but the continuing effort to keep Trump in the news. The impeachment that moved faster than Brian Stelter, who is a potato, toward a chocolate doughnut will land with a thud in the Senate and then die there. I doubt there will even be a trial, not just because you can’t impeach someone who is no longer in the job you are impeaching him from but because a trial allows a discussion of contrary evidence, and the narrative can’t take that. We’ve already seen that some of the invaders were anti-Trump leftists. They are also backpedaling on the “Hang Pence” stuff. Now, we’re also seeing that the FBI knew of the planning long before. This is all kind of hard to square with the Official Truth™ that the bad Orange Man incited the riot by observing to his audience on the Mall that they would soon be “marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard," when the rioters planned to riot already. The flex is, of course, to argue that Trump pointing out the manifest flaws of the manifestly flawed election was itself incitement. It’s not really necessary to make a slippery slope argument about how this has the effect of criminalizing all dissenting speech when the point of the exercise is to ski down that slippery slope.

It’s just way beyond awful what the Demorat party and media, Hollywood and others have done to this great man...there just aren’t any words to describe the utter cruelty the Demorats have shown and continue to do to our President and his family.......the spectacle they’ve created in DC to cover their tracks is mind boggling. I blame them all and Congress for every bit of this show they’ve created.

I will never forget nor forgive this....

Tapioca Joe won’t last long. The Heels Up will take over temporarily. At least until Piglosi ousts her with a “not a natural born citizen” charge. Chaos will ensue.

at this point, the only way to fix the USA is to burn it all down and start over again with a constitution 2.0 that gives real power to the people so we have a real say.

No amount of paper GIVES power.


We already have THIS:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Joe Biden and the Demorats and GOP can stick their idea of national unity where the sun doesn’t shine. THEY aren’t Americans by any means.

Most important paragraph in the post.

Citizens (and others) could READ the above in one of those buildings that are going to be SHUT and GUARDED on Inauguration day.

Copies USED to be featured, along with other documents, along hallways in schools; but I don’t know if this is still ALLOWED.

These are the same cardboard cut outs that are being used at the NFL games. You may see them on Wednesday.

Oh, puh-lease. I never gave up. I was still filled with hope that Trump would be inaugurated.

I believed in those who told me so. It seemed some of them were in the know. That they had access to some sort of behind the scenes info that the rest of us werent privy to.

But here we are much closer to inauguration day and Im not seeing anything that tells me Trump will be inaugurated. Im sick and tired of people filling me with what turns out to be false hopes and empty promises. When it looks more and more like Biden will be inaugurated and seated as president.

If you have any concrete evidence to the contrary, just please present it and don’t accuse me of surrendering and so early on.

You’re best off ignoring the Qballs. They’re like abused spouses who keep taking their abuser back. They are so deep into it they literally can’t accept the fact that they’ve been conned. That or they’re complicit in the con.

And like all con artists they’ll never give it up. They’ll swear endlessly that it’s genuine and it’s all real while they drain your bank account right in front of you. They just need one more fix of your money or your “trust” and then the big reveal happen.

It’s been going on for over a year here and it is long past time they were shown the door. Their endless parade of “trust whoever” is patently laughable and not one single thing they’ve predicted has come to pass.

Sessions, Wray, Rosenstein, Barr, Durham, 157,384 sealed indictments, “be sure to drink your Ovaltine”, it’s all bullsh**. It’s always been bullsh**. It will always be bullsh**.

Next week they’ll be telling the victims of the con to “trust Romney”.

Ignore them. Better yet mock them. And politely ask JimRob to flush them off of FreeRepulic for being the kooks they are. They can go post their swill with Michael Rivero.
