The Connection Between Epstein & Impeachment
2019-11-22
BLUF:
[Sons of Liberty] So, why the secretive, Soviet-style impeachment process and the dramatically heightened hyperbole in the press and sinister collusion over a story about a dead pedophile?

What’s the connection?

Here it is: Apart from the left’s fear and loathing surrounding Donald Trump, both the impeachment process and the Epstein story run a very high risk for the American people discovering the true character of those who govern them. While many of the astute have already figured this out, a preponderance of Americans making this discovery could prove fatal to socialist ascendency in America, and might actually spell the demise of at least one of our political parties.

As some commentators have noted, the abysmal character of this impeachment process is due to congressional Democrats’ knowledge that if the proceedings do not remain within their tight control, they run the risk of exposing not only the machinations of the Deep State at large, but the illegal activities of public officials at many levels, going all the way back to Bill Clinton’s administration.

#8  Lex. WRT Ted Cruz: Trump has shown how far a president can go against the Deep State and the media. Cruz has the stones to try, so that's an improvement Originally, I was for Cruz/Fiorina, but figured selling the task as doing things the same old way to fix what doing things the same old way got us wasn't going to get anybody elected.

#7  The one to carry on Trump's legacy has not emerged yet. It needs to be someone who's savvier about Washington, who won't get sandbagged as Trump was. Maybe someone like Josh Hawley. Possibly Ted Cruz.

#6  Any Trump relative would be unlikely as it would look bad.

#5  Not Melania. Even if she were not a naturalized citizen, she clearly has absolutely no interest in politics. She does her duty as Mrs. Trump, whether that involves his business entertaining or the nation’s, but she is has no interest beyond supporting him in his work. Hillary Clinton is the rare president’s wife interested in taking up the mantle for herself, and look how bad she has been at the job.

If Donald Trump, Jr is the one who has been tweeting and going on television, he may be the one. Or Ivanka, though she strikes me as happier being an executive in the organization — better work/life balance, donchaknow.

#4  might actually spell the demise of at least one of our political parties.

Hasten the day. The American DNC is near the sort of intellectual and moral bankruptcy that the Indian INC underwent in the previous decade. Too much power, and too many threads of compromise with pressure groups whose interests are contrary to those of the law-abiding common citizen. There is no way the DNC is coming back from the rot. And Americans are not as dumb as the globalist groups supporting the DNC want to believe. No one is.

The equivalent of the DNC in India, the INC is today a joke, after just two terms of conservatives. The media realized it couldn't live on goodwill from 'deposed princes' and changed loyalties, even if not in spirit. Today, they are laughed at and ridiculed, their 'stalwarts' are either fighting off cases or in jail, their financiers and benefactors are fighting extradition and orange notices. Once you've descended the food chain, the officials take it from there.

After a century of systematized pavlovian conditioning pushed by federal agencies and judiciaries, Democrats were only able to make a slight dent in the American psyche. It won't simply give in, like Brit compliance with everything out of Westminster.

The challenging task for Trump will remain to purge the federal bureaucracy and appoint nationalists in those positions that require them. Maybe a PR campaign to remind American youth of what the US means ? The 'keep America great' concept could flow into the campaign for his successor, maybe Melania or Junior.

#3  It's simply a redirect from their own crimes, corruption and lies.

Virtually everything they print or say now is either a form of projection-- accusing Trump of abuses that they themselves are guilty of-- or a head fake designed to keep the public off the trail.

That trail leads to the obvious conclusion that our political class and their cheerleaders in the media don't have the faintest idea of how to run this country. They have failed massively in every realm-- economic, political, foreign affairs, the cultural sphere-- and have given us 30+ years of stagnation and decline.

In our history only the late 19th century compares for our era's level of corruption, incompetence, economic concentration, and stupidity.

At least then our power and stature int he world were increasing. These f---ing morons have deliberately squandered the extraordinary windfall they were handed in 1989.

Hence the massive and constant attempt to redirect the public's attention away from their colossal failures.

#2  Muslims are just vermin to be fumigated. China is just an opportunist - show firm and they'll pipe down. The real enemy is the Western "cognitive elites" - dumb as shit and twice as arrogant.

#1  ....run a very high risk for the American people discovering the true character of those who govern them.

The Washington elite could care less what the "American people discover" or think. This isn't about discovery, it's about enabling the media to establish a time and distance conundrum with regard to illegal acts and wrongdoing. It's purely a political 'cover for action.'
