Arresting a former President

How the hell did we end up here? I don't think this will end well for America.

The socialist democratic party is determine to end constitutional order.

The police are neutered, free speech is socially unacceptable, law school has become a training ground for legal subversion, there no doubt the silicon valley elites and all the alphabet agency and MSM are monitoring SM, and certainly this site. All this in addition too, a proxy war, and a presidential agenda, run by a former administration which has open our boarders for yrs, making us vulnerable to enough saboteurs to ignite this smoldering mess.

Tic, tic,.

How? Why, it is standard fare for Banana Republics and other forms of sham democracy.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner. Future politicians will need to learn bolthole techniques from deposed leaders of central African/American shitholes.

PSYOPS

Gents,

I’ll throw this out there.

BLUF: The average a-ME-rican person could care less about any of this. They’re fed, housed, medicated, and entertained (and better than anyone else on the planet to include the “wealthy” in the rest of the world).

The media, dimocraps, repub-lik-cants, and average bureaucrat are scared to death of a “leader” of any kind. They HATE the military because of it. They HATE big business because of it. They believe that “Policy” (the root word of politics) can “Save us all from _______ problem”. The previously mentioned commie scum HATE leaders because they themselves could not lead a dead horse to the ground (and by extension leaders could, if properly motivated, wipe their worthless parasitic asses from the face of the earth).

They, the losers that are attacking the former POTUS, have NO chance of “winning” anything at all. They are completely incapable of “winning” because they can’t even define it. The average a-ME-rican CAN define “win”. They do so EVERY F’N TIME their favorite sports-ball team plays on Sunday! They KNOW their politicians are complete life losers and want nothing NOT A DAMN THING to do with ANY of them.

Do NOT underestimate the Average Joe’s ability to ignore the children in the district of clowns to the point of making them as irrelevant as a noisy kid at Walmart.

I’m gonna go make sure the builder of my new house is putting the shower-heads in the right places to keep the Mrs. Happy.

WE WON, they CAN’T WIN! Don’t let yourselves get down because some ass-hat’s kid is whining about not getting a toy or being made to eat their fucking peas!

Agree with you but, with the following caveat: my honor is and always will be in my control.

So to the neo-fascists that may be covertly peeking in on us - be vewy, vewy caweful!

Maybe the potential arrest rumors are true, maybe they aren’t.
Either way, Trump stole a march.

He just stole the news cycle and gave himself a platform.
He just forced everyone to take a side and lock themselves in for future political battles.

Even inaction, whether it be from potential friends or foes, pins them into a position.
Meanwhile, Trump is free to maneuver.

Trump has the initiative.
We’ll see how effective he is in exploiting it.

And then, if and when he goes to trial, "I preemptively pardoned myself while I was in office"... The "crime" predates his presidency.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. We are on a very dangerous path and it is going to get harder and harder to do something about it because the schools, the press, and Hollywood are controlled by Marxists who are focused intently on indoctrination. The regulatory agencies are out of control doing un-American things without Congressional authorization.

We are finally going to leave California, which is a precursor to what will happen everywhere else. Not only is Atlas Shrugged/1984 happening here, but we are losing the ability to defend what is left of the country against foreign threats.

I think we are fucked. And you FBI guys spying on American citizens can go fuck yourselves for being part of the problem. Pardon my French.

I understand the angst. I agree with the superficial indicators. I see all the same things you see.

That said, it’s not that bad. Yes, the USG is a completely corrupt and worthless pile of donkey dung. The average state government is barely capable of anything besides harassing their citizens at the local DMV while doling out “free” tax dollars to non-producing leaches.

But! But! But! NO ONE GIVES A SHIT! Go to the local Walmart and look around! NO ONE CARES! Not. One. Bit.

Do you know why?

They are FAT! They have so much food available 24/7 that they will NEVER be hungry.

They have so much clean water they literally SHIT in it! NO WHERE ELESE ON THE PLANET is that the case! NO. WHERE. ELSE.

In spite of the completely worthless sacks of shit that inhabit our “governing bodies” we are living better and longer lives every year.

Yes, I said in spite of. Not because of!

The “because of” is the real powers in the USA…… Big Business. You know. Guys who build buildings. Buy for $1 and sell for $2. The guys who invent shit. The guys who fix shit when it breaks. And at the head of those organizations are actual Leaders.

Those Leaders will NOT, NOT NOW, NOT EVER allow some worthless shit-bag “policy maker” to interfere with the bottom line.

Back to my YouTube videos with the family pets……

I work with a lot of those people on a regular basis, and I hate to tell you that it's not true. They are caving in -- look at all of the DEI BS we see everywhere. It is hitting the bottom line. It sure is in my business.

As soon as I can locate Atlantis, I am moving there. Who is John Galt? In the meantime, we are going to settle for Tennessee.

This proves my point. You, and your businesses are LEAVING the state where the clown-show has decided “we’re in charge”. That shit won’t last long. Temporary “hits to profit” are not the same as “permanently effecting” the bottom line.

The simple fact that the USA is really 50ea separate Countries negates the bigger issues found in the more-worthless places.

All of these things are cyclical and are to be expected.

I am playing from memory here, but I think that the US has seen ~7 different political shifts over our ~245 years? There was only 1 that resulted in a full blown shooting match, but all were kinda stressful. The last one was around the 1930’s during the Depression.

We are due.

We are NOT done.

We, the USA, are INVINCIBLE!

Any and all reasons you can give for the fall of _______ civilization do NOT apply to us. Geography. Demography. The fact we are a “settler” nation. Our distinct form of government and decentralization of power. And, if all else fails, the right to kill a tyrant.

There are exactly 2 defining characteristics of a true American:

1. An American will give the shirt off his back to ANYONE who deserves it

2. An American will tell anyone who doesn’t to FUCK OFF

I wish you continued resolve in a liberating act. (I left in '69) You can be John Galt where you plant your feet. Carry a smile.

I wouldn't worry about the banana republic repercussions if it wasn't for the fact that there are almost ZERO republicans that are capable of communicating that arresting your political foes can go both ways...
...because most of them are crooked to begin with

Their solution is to eliminate the ones that are most likely to lift up the rug to show how much dirt has been shoveled under it.



"Justice"
You keep using that word...

I agree, Box. If Trump gets elected again, I hope he goes after everyone from both parties who let this happen and goes after these morons with a vengeance...

The sad truth is that should Trump get elected again, the republicans in the senate will interfere and block his agenda again and once the midterm ballot box stuffing is completed, the democrats will take the house again and they will impeach him again while the same republicans enable and assist the democratic party at derailing any meaningful republicans gains again
