The Big Club Spit on Trump but Embraces Biden

“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it” is one of comedian George Carlin’s more memorable lines and provides a succinct summation of the US federal government. The “Big Club” is the establishment, deep state, cabal, elites, ruling class, or whatever you want to call those in power.

Looking at politicians, it is clear who is in the big club and who is not. Most Democrats are in the big club, with few exceptions such as Bernie Sanders or members of The Squad. They may serve as useful idiots to further the Democrat agenda but will never get close to the reins of power, as Bernie learned twice during his ill-fated presidential campaigns.

Some Republicans are club members, typically those referred to as RINOs - Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, the Bushes, and former conservatives, now known as NeverTrumpers. Media cranks like Chuck Todd, Jake Tapper, and Chris Wallace are in the big club. Other media bigwigs like Rush Limbaugh were never in the club.

Members of Congress not in the Big Club are treated like leppers, examples being Devin Nunes, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A simple litmus test is whether someone is given a pass for transgressions that would normally land someone not in the club in prison. Think Bill and Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden. BLM rioters are part of the club and released from jail lickety-split. Those let into the US Capitol on January 6 by Capitol Police, not part of the club, are rotting away in solitary confinement for months.

Politicians are either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

There is NO middle ground on this one.

We elect a champion who is NOT in the BIG CLUB.

We did it once and we can do it again.

Groucho Marx quote -”I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”

Groucho could be uncommonly perceptive at times.

Loyalty comes from extortion, threats and the fact that most in the big club are all in on the crime

Unfortunately, The Big Club is Their Big Club, and it is aimed at our heads - at the world below their feet.

But what puzzles me, is the literally slavish adoration the proles have for the dictators, liars and massed media throwing nothing but shitte at their heads? Is the leftist mob in the world so enamored of their own individual hatred for what a conservative is that they “literally cannot see” the dictatorship and its threat from above the media?

Most, if not all of those countries, have parliamentary style governments, and as such the “head of government”, President, Prime Minister or whatever they have, must have a full majority outright or must forge a ‘coalition government’ with minor parties, some of whom are not mainstream thought representatives, like the Green Party...........................
