Are the Years of Madness Ending?

American Greatness ^ | December 16, 2024 | By Victor Davis Hanson

Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.

[artichokegrower]

Summed up, the welcomed counterrevolution is one of restoration—to dream again that nothing is impossible, and the dreary age of stasis, envy, cynicism, and nihilism is ending, replaced again by a world without limits. No one knows quite what is ahead, but all know that it is at least better already than the current nightmare.

God bless Victor Davis Hanson and God bless America

True abdication would be better... seems that every level of this administration is using its dying breaths to sabotage their successors in every way they can imagine.

[metmom]

That’s what I’ve noticed as well.

[SavannahWonderer]

Ha! All those fired-up, red-blooded, patriot freedom-loving folks are going right back to sleep! Millions have relaxed their fervor and are back to huffing Unicorn Farts thinking that Trumpy is gonna take care of it.
No one will check up on the Sherriff, County Commissioners, School board, etc. Let alone Washington.
Let’s see what actually happens with CR’s, shrinking gubmint bloat, millions of gubmint parasites/employees, etc.

Biden has surrendered his presidency to Trump while the Biden team works tirelessly on pardoning criminals and screwing up the country as much as possible before 1/20/2025.

Thom Tillis Threatens Trump Supporters to “Stand Down” on Pressure Because He Only Needs 4 Votes in Senate to Destroy Any Nomination

December 16, 2024 | Sundance 

Senator Thom Tillis appears to have been granted a larger slice of the lobbyist money from Thune and McConnell because he certainly is taking up a position next to Joni Ernst in strategic opposition to President Donald Trump.

The level of passive aggressive threat-speak within Tillis’ very carefully selected wording is quite concerning. 

“President Trump enjoyed a great deal of Republican support in his first term,” Tillis notes.  “But if people want to play the outside [pressure] game, they run a lot of risk,” he continues. “Four votes is all it’s going to take to kill a nomination here, so they should take pause,” Tillis reminds everyone.

NOTHING IS SACRED’: GOP sen warns Trump nominees to 'be prepared' for Dems

Senator Tillis from North Carolina represents the aloof mindset of the Senate at large, and the detached mindset of the Republicans in the senate specifically.

The republicans in North Carolina in 2024 are highlighting just how similar they are to the republicans in Georgia, circa 2020.

Agree.

This should be posterized, printed, hung and taught in all future US History classrooms.

Dr. Jill and The Magic Negro are keeping Pedo-Joe hanging on to the last second so Dr. Jill can sell as many pardons as possible
and Obama can throw monkey wrenches into the machinery of government to screw Trump over as much as possible.

It will be interesting how many books are published within 6 months of Biden leaving.

You're right. One conspiracy theory is the drones are a distraction from all the damage Biden's thugs and goons are doing to the country before Biden is finally out of the White House.

[Tommy Revolts]

That was a long, brutal 3yrs and 10 months.

[lightman]

Very well written—and worth the reading time!

[Frank Drebin]

This is no game Mr. Tillis. You’re about to find that out.

Are the Years of Madness Ending?

Not until something radical is done about the universities, worldwide.

After a brief honeymoon they'll get their second wind.

It won’t be over until Destructo Joe leaves the White House
