Why not, at last, just let the people choose their own president?
When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.
What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then President, then ex-President, and then candidate again, Donald Trump.
The nonstop efforts were all justified as “saving democracy”—albeit by nearly destroying it.
In 2015-2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign fueled the lie that discredited ex-British spy Christopher Steele had discovered Donald Trump to be a veritable Russian agent.
Hillary did not disclose that she had paid Steele—with checks hidden through three paywalls. The FBI, under Director James Comey, also hired the fraudster.
Yet almost nothing in his “Steele dossier” was true.
The FBI doctored evidence submitted to a FISA court. Comey leaked to the press confidential documents about his private conversations with President Trump.
Comey’s successor, Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, lied on numerous occasions to federal investigators.
Both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper repeatedly lied to the nation, saying that Trump was de facto working with the Russians.
The result? Trump lost the 2016 popular vote but still won the Electoral College.
Next, celebrities and well-funded liberals waged a media campaign to convince the electors to become “faithless.” Left-wing elites begged them to renounce their constitutional duties and instead throw the election to Hillary Clinton.
Once Trump was elected, “Russian collusion” was fired up again in hysterical fashion.
A special counsel, Robert Mueller, consumed 22 months of the Trump presidency. His investigation team constantly leaked falsehoods about the “walls closing in on” Trump.

None of these leftists believe that they will have a final judgement day where they cannot lie their way out of their actions.
VDH ping
Yup. And guess what? The progenitor of the Russia hoax is a spy.

Fire them, fire them all……..
Nope, we'll have to dismantle these agencies, fire all top managers and rebuild.
“Can We Let the Voters Decide?”
Yes, of course. As long as they decide correctly, according to those who are in charge.
This election time is looking ever more promising that voters will finally get to elect their president, but never forget that the Democrats will always have a plan to prevent this from happening. It’s just that this year it seems to have less hope of succeeding. The Democrats have nothing to offer. The last 3-1/2 years are proof a plenty of that. It’s a matter of getting enough people to believe their own eyes.
“Instead, why not, at last, just let the people choose their own president?”
Because “they” won’t get the government “they” want to impose on the people?
Sorry, Victor, that’s not how communism works.
“Why not, at last, just let the people choose their own president?“
DC (and all their MA$TER$): “NO WAY!!!! We can’t let those stupid hicks choose who gets into OUR club!!… why… they’re not even members of it!!..”
Right out of Atlas Shrugged, the chapter “Miracle Metal.” If that depresses you too much, fast forward to the chapter “The Concerto of Deliverance.”
Yet here we are in mid-July 2024 and Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, is alive and leads incumbent Biden—either because of, or despite, the crude efforts to destroy him.
After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections?
Can a bankrupt media cease whipping up hysterias about a supposed Nazi-like takeover?
Can the left stop relying on washed-up British spies, corrupt ex-spooks, and teams of clownish partisan prosecutors?
Instead, why not, at last, just let the people choose their own president?

The democrats and the swamp have made it clear. The people can not be trusted to choose their own government.
It was July 13th. Given its historical significance, you would think an editor might have corrected this at some point.
Oh, wait, "journalism"!
adorno : "Democrats don't trust the voters."
"If voters were to decide, then, the democrat party would cease to exist.
Therefore, democrats have to be proactive and take out their opponents because the voters won't."
That is why the Democratic party is not in favor of a democracy : "One man -.. One vote" .
Instead they want the ruling elites to select a candidate who can keep them in power.
To the party elites, Democracy be damned ! Lawfare is the method to which they select, maintain, and control what they call: " Our Democracy"
except their policy is to eliminate democracy for everyone by hook (replacement),
or by crook (random unsupervised ballot boxes, or hoaxes)
Anywhere else that is called tyranny !
And preventing enough fraud so that the election isn't stolen.
VDH forgot to also mention USSS.
He left out the CIA which is orchestrating the coup.
