The Staging Grounds IV: It's going to be a Bloodbath

“Andrew Jackson as president was treated the absolute worst and I heard Abraham Lincoln was second but he was in this thing called the Civil War, so you can understand that.  But I said there’s no I don’t care Andrew Jackson or anybody else. Nobody is treat… when you think of the fake things. Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly.” Delusional Paranoid Dementia Donald

    During his glitchy incoherent rants, demented fascist Trump has taken to making the most ludicrous declarations of his Presidency.  Everything was the greatest of all time.  Everything was the best it ever was.  Everything was perfect.  He did the most for whatever group he's speaking too.  And everything immediately went to hell because you stole the Presidency from him.  It's the final culmination of rightwing propaganda.  It's the Ultimate expression of the Gish Gallop.  But, it's not like the Corporate Media cares to fact check, correct, or call Trump what he actually is because the Legacy Media take their cues and stories from the rightwing media and frame everything through the lens of Republican bullshit.

The Corporate Media coverage of Trump has been shamelessly inadequate for years now and it won't get better anytime soon.

I can not imagine the media BREAKING NEWS shit storm if Vice President Kamala Harris declined to endorse the President the way Mike Pence declined to endorse Trump.

It would be a monumental story of unimaginable magnitude!  Not only would signal the end of Joe Biden's career but it would be no less than a harbinger of the end of the Democratic Party.  It would be lead News Story until such time as a new candidate for President managed to emerge, whom the Corporate Media would waste no time in declaring dead on arrival as they publish 'Oh well wait till next year' news stories and circulate DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY, as the Media celebrates the coming Republican trifecta control of every single branch of the Federal Government. 

And yet... Trump and Pence is not even a two-day blurb.  

No one is coming to save us.  The media's job is to help Trump and that they will do it with every bit of chicanery, sagacious false concern, and amplification of Republican ratfucking necessary.

It was noted that in the week following the Hur Hatchet Report, the Washington Post and New York Times ran 70+ news stories on Joe Biden's Age, as every media outlet ran articles based on the one sentence Hur released.  So-called savvy pundits were plotting a brokered convention and a swapping out of candidates.

The pampered and petulant Uncommitted "protest" votes gains outsized attentional at every opportunity.

RFK Jr is still receiving coverage despite the fact his prime choice for running mate, Aaron Rodgers, is such a MAGA meatball he adheres to as many rightwing conspiracy theories as the number of times he's beaten the Chicago Bears. 

Trump is all in on the Fear & Anger stimulus response.  

"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it," he added. "It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."

So, after Trump invoked the words "bloodbath" 

the Corporate Media rushed to clean up Trump's fascist drivel as they always do.  And Trump's team rushed to make sure the story wasn't "the Bloodbath" but, instead was understood in the proper context, 

“Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers.”

It's the old Karl Rove playbook of attacking your opponent's strength as a weakness.  But, remember this tactic only works if the compliant Corporate Media uncritically plays along.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal." - as always Trump wants to have it both ways and the media lets him get away with it, he's great friends with President Xi even though he's super hard on Xi and kept China in their place with the Art of the Deal.

Trump then claimed he'll protect Social Security and Medicare (a scant week after he admitted he'll cut "entitlements") and if he loses the election you're not going to get another one.  IMAX doesn't have a screen big enough to capture the Projection.

You could claim "Bloodbath" is just a new variation of the American Carnage speech Trump has given before but, at this point there is no reason anyone should give Traitor Trump the benefit of the doubt about the intentions of the Republicans should they get back into the White House in 2025.  Trump absolutely means violence.

When people say this election is the most important in our lifetimes, cynical pundits like to roll their eyes and dismiss peoples' concerns.  But, those people know they won't be at risk or will even benefit from the Vile Republican 2025 Agenda.  Ben S Shapiro, one day after proclaiming Americans should never be able to retire and should be worked to death, declared he crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump. 

Trump told his crowd that immigrants aren't people,

“I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

It's quite clear what Trump and his gaggle of bloodthirsty lieutenants want if he steals back into the White House.  Most likely, they would come for migrants and Trans persons first.  It's questionable whether the American people would allow that but, the thing with Fascist Pogroms is once they are started they gain a momentum all their own.  

It's up to you to vote, to encourage others, to canvas, call or help out in every way conceivable.  The Republican Party sees a singular opportunity coalescing in 2024; a chance to forcibly install a Fascist Fundamentalist Theocracy, eliminate millions, and gut American Democracy for generations.

No one is coming to save Us.  No 14th Amendment trick will make Trump not the Republican candidate.  No Judge wants to convict Trump prior to the Election.  The Corporate Media will not accurately contextual the threat facing Us.  It's up to us to save ourselves and our very lives because if this iteration of the Republican Party gets into Power they will be coming for them.

As if to make my point about Corporate Media obsequious deference and nefarious allegiance to Trump Queen Bigot and pampered rich white lady Kathleen Parker has a story out about how someone should drop out of this race for the sake of the Nation;  KAMALA HARRIS!

Tear Down every Statue to Arch-Traitor Confederates including at Arlington National Cemetery

The only honorable confederate at

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

My photo from Memorial Day 2019

Tearing statues down is American as apple struedel.  On July 9th 1776, the Sons of Liberty tore down a statue of King George III on The Bowling Green in New York City. The statue was turned into over 40,000 musket balls for use in the American Revolutionary War. 

Quietly, American Patriots have struck another blow against villainous enemies of the United States.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal judge on Tuesday allowed the Arlington National Cemetery to remove a century-old Confederate memorial one day after blocking the removal over a report that gravesites were disturbed.

At a hearing in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, U.S. District Judge Rossie Alston said he issued the temporary injunction Monday after receiving an urgent phone call from the memorial's supporters saying that gravesites adjacent to the memorial were being desecrated as contractors began work to remove the memorial.

Of course, there was a delay because disreputable rightwingers made spurious claims that graves were being desecrated.

He said he toured the site before Tuesday's hearing and saw the site being treated respectfully.  "I saw no desecration of any graves," Alston said. "The grass wasn't even disturbed."  Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration "were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate."

Every statue of an Arch-Traitor who took up arms against the Untied States, should be torn down.  The Lost Cause historical revisionism was a continuation of the Civil War by other means.  After losing the maneuver and attrition part of the War, conservatives moved into terrorism and the subversion of government from within.  As Heather Cox Richardson wrote the South won the Civil War.

Now, tearing down the Lost Cause monuments has nothing to do with disturbing graves or desecration of actual remains.  But, then that's always been a rightwing lie.  At Camp Butler memorial in Springfield, Illinois, there is a memorial which notes that nearly 1000 confederate prisoners of war died of disease at the Camp during the war.  It was erected in December 2005, during the George W(orst Ever) Phony Global War on Terror whilst Americans were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The obelisk's inscription sure reads like all the other historical white-washing efforts, 

“In memory of the Confederate veterans who died at the Camp Butler Confederate prison camp. May they never be forgotten.”

 It seems odd to place a memorial 140 years after the incident until you realize the organizations who placed it,

The United Daughters of the Confederacy; Seven Confederate Knights Chapter 2625; Illinois Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans; Illinois Society, Military Order of the Stars & Bars; and the Order of the Southern Cross.

Also Hate America just like the Modern Republican Party.  And each of these often times gaudy memorials successfully planted was a victorious salvo in the non-stop conservative War on the United States.  But, besides hating the United States of America, Republicans also love lies.  Especially lies about the Civil War.

Nikki Halley was recently caught on the ultimate gotcha question;  What was the cause of the Civil War?  And Nikki couldn't give the absolutely correct of Slavery because that would be CRT and would infuriate the racist white men she's courting for the Presidency.

Florida Republicans introduced legislation to safeguard Confederate Monuments and Lynch any local leader or elected official who tries to bring down the noble white man.  It would also restore those statues successfully taken down.

It would be nice if the Corporate Media, in the face of Republican efforts to push The Lost Cause and literally restore Confederate Arch-Traitors into prominent positions in society, wouldn't then let the treasonous bootle-throated slap dick Republicans go on TV or submit op-eds which say 'Nuh Uh, the Dems is the Party of Slavery'  

The Confederacy was the pinnacle and ultimate expression of Conservative beliefs.  But, modern Conservatives are no longer content with just vicariously living off the glories of the Old Southern Conservatives and instead are yearning to outdo their ideological brethren.  What Republicans wish to create is a Slave State with the modern reach, surveillance, and power of the 21st century;  a dystopian NeoConfederacy.

The Southern Poverty Law Center still has a great site documenting the remaining Confederate monuments.  Right now tearing down their racist victories the Lost Cause inflicted on the United States is good but, very soon Republicans will stop relying on their disproportionate legislative and judicial power and attack the United States again.  January 6th 2021 was a prequel.

Republicans hate America 2: Conservatives love striking Workers

Republicans are determined to beat down the American people.  A rightwing domestic terrorist used his Republican granted "right" to Run'em Down and hit 5 striking workers with his car while leaving a plant in Flint, Michigan. 

Republicans are consistently striving to make everyone's life materially worse in every imaginable way.  Whether this is by direct action like murderous Stand Your Ground/ Run'em Down "Laws" or undermining striking workers, Republicans raison d'être is bringing down the Country and the American people.

Besides hating America, Republicans constantly lie.  But, Republicans know that their 50 year campaign of whining about the so-called Liberal Media and "working the refs", they can be assured that their lies will be reported as "alternative facts" and the Corporate Media will twist themselves into knots to Both Sides every single issue.

Why else would the Corporate Media and rightwingers tout Traitor Trumps speech before a non-union group as equivalent to President Biden walking the picket line with striking UAW members.  Republicans are anti-union and Right-to-
Work (for Less).  But, the Media's job is to report what Republicans say and ignore what Republicans actually do.  Of course, with Trump the Corporate Media's job isn't even to report what he says, but to invent things to make Traitor Trump sound competent.  Even when Trump threatens to investigate and murder them, the Corporate Media is invested in Make Trump President Again.

Of course on top of this rightwing propagandists are paid big money to flood the zone with shit.  The above tweet from rightwing propagandist Benny Johnson is just one lie in an Ocean of Crap Republicans fling everywhere.

It's an excellent strategy.

Because it doesn't matter that Benny's lies are easily disprovable, even by the actual video he himself linked.  Benny Johnson knows he's telling lies.  Benny doesn't care.  Biden is for the UAW and the workers therefore conservatives are against whatever Biden is for and Benny's job, just like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Tim Pool, or whatever rightwing propagandist du jour you can think of is to build up enough lies to tear down America.  Conservatives love lies and hate America.

I found the below paragraphs of contrasting President Biden and Traitor Trump;

"Biden has been an excellent president. He succeeded in achieving a number of things Trump promised but never accomplished: getting us started rebuilding our roads and bridges and bringing manufacturing back to the US, just to name two. The process of withdrawing our troops from Afghanistan was ugly, but the end result is that we are out of Afghanistan — another thing Trump promised but never delivered.

Biden has accomplished all this without the constant drama of the Trump administration. No nasty tweets. No demeaning nicknames for his opponents. No statements implying that his critics deserve to die or inviting his supporters to get violent. In short: as president, Trump was a constant embarrassment to the United States of America. Biden is not."

This is merely the most superficial analysis, President Biden has accomplished a lot, in the face of an insane group of Republicans controlling the House, and an Instagram Wannabe in the Senate in Krysten Sinema.  All the while facing constant bullshit from the Corporate Media which always covers Democratic Administrations against a backdrop of 4 story lines: 

1. #BothSidesDoIt
2. What do Trump Voters think?
3. Today... Trump, truly, became President
4. Democrats in Disarray!!!

Under this rubric, the Corporate Media will always obscure and soften the hatred of America and actual policy positions the Republican Party loudly and consistently espouses ; namely the destruction of the United States, the end of free and fair elections, and the ensconcing of a Fascist Dystopia ruled by the twin tyranny of White Republican Supremacists and evil evangelical christianity.

January 6th will be America's Second Independence Day

"We mustn't judge too harshly Will... It was his first time." - Hannibal Lecter

Many things required cleaning up after the January 6th Insurrection; from the broken glass in the Rotunda, to the shit-smeared walls throughout the hallways and offices, to the shattered trust in the peaceful transition of power in the World's foremost Democracy.

But, nothing required more work than for Republicans & Rightwingers to white-wash the video footage and images the American people saw that day with their own eyes.

January 6th was an Inflection Point.  The Republican Party had been steadily descending towards Authoritarianism and the denial of democracy and the repudiation of the Democratic Republic for decades with accelerating features from 2001-2021, but after the initial shock of that day wore off, Republicans fully embraced full-blown Fascism.

A Kill/Capture team of rightwing domestic
terrorists uses the confusion to enter the Capitol
in order to execute Democratic Congress members

 There is no coming back from this for Republicans.  They have decided to Rule or Ruin.  But, to that end they still need to do Revisionist History and catapult the propaganda about January 6th, as they steadily erode confidence in the United States of America and set about conducting their next attempt to Overthrow the Government and replace it with a NeoConfederate style of governance dominated by fundamentalist white supremacy and predicated on the propositions of oppression, intolerance, and adulation of the rich.

To that end; Squeaker Kevin McCarthy gave video surveillance footage to Chief Propagandist Tucker Carlson to do what he does; craft a web of lies and convince conservatives the true villains of January 6th were not that raucous mob of criminals who, it should never be forgotten, did successfully delay the certification of the 2020 election but, those who investigated the crimes and underlying motivations of the Trump White House and Republicans and Rightwing provocateurs who set the events in motion.

Remember except for a few strokes of luck and some individually brave actions, there would have been numerous dead Democratic Congressmen and Senators in the Capitol on that day.  And make no mistake that was the plan by the Trump White House. 

But, while several Republican Senators have tepidly pushed back against Carlson's Revisionist History right now, the arc of history is set.  Arch Traitors in the GOP will never stop pushing lies around the attempted TrumPutsch and Auto-Golpe De'Estado planned and executed by the Trump White House and multiple members of the Republican Party inside and out the Federal Government.  Thus, Republicans & Rightwingers must and will completely support the Spirit of January 6th and the Lies of a Rigged and Stolen 2020 Election while castigating a few individuals as bad apples.  

By the end of the decade Republicans will have convinced themselves and their mob of domestic terrorists that Jan6th stands with July 4th as the Days of Independence. 

Trump exposed himself (and others) to Foreign Intelligence Operatives

Worst NPR Tiny Desk concert ever

Weenie waving Trump has committed multiple violations of the Espionage Act

Now when it comes to being a foreign asset I've always considered Trump to be more Buffoon than Blofled.  So, I think, most likely, Trump took these documents for his pretend Oval Office at Mar-a-Lago so he could play pretend President waving around classified documents to impress his guests and others.

Now, it's the others at Mar-a-Lago that are one of the problems;  as multiple actual fvcking spies have been caught inside the roach infested Trump swamp in Florida.

Recall the Chinese "business-woman", Yujing Zhang who had somehow made it past multiple Secret Service Agents and was found with the following items; 

She was found to be carrying four mobile phones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive, and a thumb drive that “contained malicious software,” the complaint said. More electronics were found in her hotel room, along with about $8,000 in cash, according to the complaint.

Recall Traitor Trump wanted to host the G-7 2020 summit at Mar-a-Lago, and such diplomatic encounters are rife with foreign intelligence agents pretending to be simple aides to diplomatic envoys.  It's practically de-rigueur.  

I'll never forget those two fvcking fat-faced Russian spies and war criminals, Sergei Lavrov and Sergey Kislyak, yucking it up with Donald John Traitor Trump in MY Oval Office and it was no surprise that Trump revealed classified intelligence to both of them.

And some Ukrainian woman stroked Trump's ego by pretending to be a Rothschild Heiress in order to gain access to every area in Mar-a-Lago,

Inna Yashchyshyn, 33, allegedly lied to members that she was a Rothschild heiress and mingled with Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and others at Mar-a-Lago functions.

And of course, just recently it was revealed multiple covert assets have apparently been discovered and killed. 

Jared Kushner's $2,000,000,000 from Saudi Arabia sure seems suspect given all we've learned about the Trump White House operations because the Trump State Department and White House leaked intel like a Sieve.   

So, again while I think it's more likely all of these people played Trump by telling what a big, strong, huge swinging dick he is; there is the distinct possibility Trump simply sold TS/SCI classified documents to foreign governments for money.  And if that's the case, Donald John Trump needs to spend the rest of his natural life behind bars in a Federal Penitentiary.

Of course, the Republicans will never abandon Trump no matter what he crimes he's committed (and the documents recovered via Search Warrant already prove Trump's guilt) or what crimes he's going to commit.  Because it is quite likely Trump will call for violence and Civil War when it's announced he's going to be arrested.  And Rightwingers are aching for that Call.  

But, that doesn't matter.  Conservatives long ago abandoned any pretense of caring about the Rule of Law; the Right is set upon a course of Ruling or Ruining America.

On January 6th 2021 The Republican Party attempted to overthrow the US Government

"Hang Mike Pence..." - Conservative Insurrectionists 

"Maybe our supporters have the right idea.  Mike Pence deserves it." - Donald John Traitor Trump, as reported on Day 1 of the first of his high crimes and misdemeanors.

Everyone knows that, much like their Arch-Traitor ancestors during the Civil War (1861-1865), 01/06/21 is a date that Republicans declared War on the United States of America.  This date however was simply the culmination of the undeclared War and slow-moving Coup, Republicans have been engaged in for 50 years.

Ever since, Dick Nose Nixon was forced to resign Republicans steeled themselves to never allowing the Democratic Party to govern the United States.  Thus began a decades long struggle.  Republicans inherited the visible violence of their conservative terrorists (the Proud Boys and Oathbreakers are merely rebranded KKK and Pinkerton's) and hatched multiple prongs of bureaucratic violence, subverting and using the levers of the US Government against itself and the American people.

Old school Reactionaries like Mitch McConnel and John Roberts would have been happy with the long, slow coup of ensconcing rightwing oppression and intolerance brick-by-brick into Law but, too many Pedophile Matt Gaetz's, Di Puzzi Sam Alito's, psycho Major Traitor Greene', Supreme Injustice Ginni Thomas, and oleaginous globe Ted Cruz's wrecked that method by pushing fascism upon the Nation faster. 

Even now, as we begin the January 6th Congressional hearings, Republicans, who aided and abetted the Insurrection, hide in the shadows and slink about the halls of Congress marking time, hoping the wheels of justice grind too slowly to ensnare them before the 2022 elections when they plan to brush aside all the criminal conspiracy they committed in an unconscionable act of treason.

For 7 hours and 37 minutes...

Trump the Arch-Traitor tried to overthrow the United States government.  After planning to disrupt and invalidate the recognition of President Biden's crushing victory Trump and his cadre of conservative criminals, Trump hid communications for 7 hours and 37 minutes during the Coup Attempt. 

There is one thing, and one thing only, the Democrats need to do; respond to every question with, "For 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Every hearing should include, "For 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Every disingenuous utterance of CRT, Transphobia, Jessie Smollett, Afghanistan withdrawl, gas prices, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson should be answered with, "Well for 7 hours and 37 minutes..."

Arch-Traitor Trump, multiple elected Republicans, high-level conservatives, and a gaggle of rightwing criminals hatched, planned, coordinated, and executed a Coup to end the United States of America.  Republicans tried to destroy the government and end the American dream and Nation as a concept.

Because the Media isn't going to do it.  They aren't going to suddenly abandon the Narrative.  Because that would require evaluating the Eternal BothSides spin they needs must adopt.

Trump spent 7 hours and 37 minutes in communication with various known and unknown nefarious actors, while the Capitol was besieged, trying to ensure his Putsch would succeed. 

But, as the Coup of January 6th recedes and the precious Narrative analyzing the 2022 midterms, the facts of the Janurary 6th Sedition simply become part of the Democrats and Republicans disagree about what happened that day and conservatives are allowed and encouraged to disavow the day claim it was the actions of Antifa while agreeing with what almost happened and planning their next violent Insurrection. 

If your Insurrection lasts 12 months or longer call your Senator or Representative

First, I recommend reading this excellent piece Insurrections, Ancient and Modern by Bret Devereaux at A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry on how the Ancient Greeks (the inventors of Democracy) would clearly have understood the January 6th Insurrection as a clear attempt to overthrow the United States Government.  It doesn't require an Epiphany to understand Trump's goals, tactics, and motivation.  It also doesn't take a prophet to recognize a large segment of the American people are fully wedded to the Big Lie and very much want to engage in political violence, including the rounding-up and systematic execution of the Non-MAGA.  

So, any case brought against Traitor Trump, and the organizers of the Jan6th Coup needs to be as perfect and air-tight as possible, otherwise Trump will just pantomime an orgasm on stage again to belittle the investigation.  And the 139 Congresspukes and 8 GOP Senators who voted to overthrow the 2020 Presidential Election and dismantle the Nation will do everything in their considerable power to undermine the prosecution of Trump & his Criminal Cabal.

But, the Very On-Line Community (VOLC) is exasperated with the Democratic Party approach and the Dept of Justice slow grinding of arrest and trial of January 6th criminals, I am, to the contrary, very pleased with the constant drip-drip-drip release of news, evidence, video and convictions of those thus far arrested.    

One of the things the Republicans grasped is how to control the News Cycle.  Besides flooding the media with constant streams of Rightwing bullshit, to obfuscate and provide grist for the #bothsides mill, Republicans know the crimes they committed on January 6th would only dominate the News for a short, short while.  Then the Media having dutifully spoken about the attempted overthrow of the United States Government in the most blasé, prosaic way possible would pretend some anodyne Biden literal dog bites man story is equivalent to the GOP destruction of the Nation.

If 6 months ago much of the gathered evidence had been released en masse the Corporate Media would have discussed it for a day or two three and then moved on to their hyperbolic Afghanistan nonsense.

So, here is a newly released video of 3 hours of Trump Traitors attacking the Capitol Police.  Here's how we know the Trump cabal stalled and planned to give conservatives and Rightwing embedded Kill Teams every opportunity to capture and execute Speaker Pelosi, AOC, and as many of the recalcitrant members of Congress as possible.  3 hours with no Quick Reaction Force response.  No K-9's or Horse mounted Officers.  Horses and Dogs control crowds effectively, exerting far more control per pound than any person can. 

So, it's up to Us, the People to constantly highlight, discuss, and agitate for Justice and to guard against the Next Attempted Trump Golpe de Estado because the Corporate Media is not going to do it and Faux News  and the rightwing media is going to justify, promote and support the next Coup.

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 3: Bill Barr's Excellent Adventure

Lost among the Impeachment Brouhaha, has been the strange journeys of Attorney General Bill Barr. Now, no one should be surprised Bill Barr is a brazen corrupt Hatchet Man. It's what he's been trained and brought in for; to undermine Law & Order and excuse rampant Republican Criminality. He did it during Iran-Contra and he's doing it now.

AG Barr has been traveling around the globe attempting to get Foreign Governments to announce Investigations into Democratic Presidential Candidates or The Left in general. It's a shocking display of naked fascism and a dastardly criminal conspiracy and worse... This shit almost worked! Giuliani and his Ukrainian Mobsters were on their way to announce the investigation to Sean Hannity when the arrests were made.

Barr and the Trump Maladministration would have used Sean Hannity's "reporting" to announce a criminal investigation here in the US and Trump would have peppered his ridiculous adderall fueled Nuremberg Adjacent Rallies to declare This Country and That Country are investigating the Radical Left Democrats. It would have quickly be assimilated into the Magat Horde blood stream, relentlessly churned into daily rightwing on-line screeds (buttressed by FSB bot accounts) gotten woven into the #QAnon bread crumbs, been the subject of non-stop Media Coverage, and easily morphed into a call to arrest every Democrat.

Obviously, Republicans believe by having foreign nations cast aspersions they can act as though their hands are clean and allow the Media to run with their propaganda and create But Her Emails and I Love Wikileaks 2.0. Fortunately, the Trump Extortion and Bribery Quid Pro Quo failed and it fueled Trump's Impeachment. But, AG Bill Barr is not one to have his criminal actions undone by anything. So, Barr has given two speeches calling upon Reactionary's to Grid up their Loins and prepare to murder millions of Non-#Maga.

In August, Barr gave a speech to the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, a horrific Fascist Authoritarian Leadership cabal, which has worked for years to turn Police Forces across the Country into Reactionary Paramilitary Organizations enforcing white supremacy and the rightwing agenda of multi-tiered justice and oppression.

But, Barr was just getting started. His latest fascist rant, delivered to the Federalist Society (the groomers of "Justice" Boofer Kavanugh), is chock full of the standard rightwing rhetoric which Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Racist Limbaugh and other rightwing "luminaries" have been puking forth for decades. But, Barr's latest Blut und Boden speech also incorporates religious language, "progressive holy war", "conservatives do not seek earthly paradise" progressives use "the coercive power of the state to remake man and society". Anytime you read something like that every American should feel a shiver down their spine and grit their teeth. Because once conservatives invoke Gott Mit Uns... Well, all things become reasonable... and necessary...

Conservatives are aching and yearning for Trump and his Maladministration to give them the go ahead to begin rounding-up and killing millions of Americans. And AG Bill Barr just delivered the Fascism wrapped in the Flag and carrying the Cross...

The Banana Republican Party will dissolve the US Government in order to defend Trump and maintain Power

The Crooks Brothers Riot II (Driftglass)

Trump and his cadre Republican Traitors attempted to shut down part of the Impeachment proceedings by violating SCIF regulations and laws. Because at this point, Republicans know no unlawful, illegal, or unconstitutional action they undertake will be condemned by Faux News and their actions will be applauded by the toxic rightwing internet.

Under Trump the tendency for Republicans to deny the legitimacy of a Democratically controlled Government has hyper-accelerated. It is but a matter of time before the Republicans out-right declare the US Government not controlled by them is unlawful and ipso facto defunct and they seize power in a Putsch.

Conservatives have benefited for years at the unequal applications of laws and the selective enforcement of rules. Trump himself has relied on failing upwards and not being held to account for his criminality and malfeasance. As President, Trump has sped-up the damage to foundational concepts and the Rule of Law.

We have already witnessed the Republicans declaring the US Constitution does not apply to restraining them. Trump appointed Judges have issued rulings that Trump is immune from prosecution and even investigation, including fulfilling his infamous threat of shooting someone on 5th Avenue and getting away with it. It's a short step to the Republicans declaring no Non-#MAGA official, liberal, or Democrat has any power or jurisdiction over a Republican. Ever!

Conservatives will back all illegal activities and all it will take is a drunken Matt Gaetz calling for violence and Conservatives will declare ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!

Update:
Driftglass writes up the pathos ruling the Conservative mind these days in his piece Room 101.

The Second President of the Confederacy D.J. Trump declares Civil War 2.0

The Confederacy is not a place; it's a people. - Trump All Father

As I predicted, faced with his legal removal Trump has decided threatening violence and stoking civil war is his best recourse. He raised the Spectre of a COUP in his beyond outrageous tweeter feed. BTW, fuck you @ Jack Dorsey for your platform which is overrun with fascists and is amplifying Trump's incitements. Twitter does have a clear bias and it's for The Fash. 

Of course, while Twitler screeches 'Coup' 'Coup' 'Coup', like a syphilitic rooster, I must at least point out the Conservative Maga Horde could not tell a Coup d'etat from a Coupe DeVille. Edward Luttwak defines a Coup d'etat as "the infiltration of a small but critical segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder." (Coup d'Etat pg.12)

Nor is this a Putsch or Pronunciamiento or Cuartelazo or any other term for an overthrow of a government. But, the Oathbreakers and III Inch Penises and other rightwing paramilitary domestic terrorists stand ready to slaughter Americans.

This is beyond reckless and beyond outrageous and beyond whatever other modifier you want to attach. But, here we are... Trump is just the figurehead for the culmination of 50 years of evil rightwing hatred, policy agenda, and propaganda efforts.

Conservatives learned lessons form Vietnam and Watergate. They will never allow another Republican President to be impeached no matter what crimes President Trump has committed and is committing.

Conservatives also adopted the IOKIYAR It's Okay If You're a Republican) defense. Roy Moore, Gym Jordan, Brett Kavanugh's offenses were all ignored and an active smear campaign defense was adopted because these men are dutiful warriors helping to advance the rightwing agenda of intolerance and oppression. These Rape-publcians knew never to apologize but, to instead attack their victims and accusers.

The other lesson conservatives learned that all the talk about Demographic destiny and long-term damage to a Party is nonsense. There is no Long Term only Short Term. Win now and by the time the next election rolls around the fallout from your destructive victory back then will be forgotten or overshadowed by the current crisis. George W. Bush's criminal maladministration should have shunted the Republican Party to the political wilderness for a generation yet after losing in 2006 and 2008 they roared back into power in 2010 and hamstrung Barack Obama's Presidency, dutifully aided by the Media who also helped propel Traitor D.J. Trump into a viable candidate.

Of course, this underplays the True Coup which has been going on for decades in America. The Republican Party routinely loses elections but, due to their masterful skill at manipulating the Apparatus of Government routinely get control of the Government. Republicans have lost 5 of the last 6 Presidential Elections yet it hasn't slowed or reversed their Ultra-Reactionary policies. Republicans often receive less overall votes for State and Federal Legislatures but because of their voter suppression and unlawful district mapping programs win more seats.

The True Coup, the long term slow moving Coup, has been the Republican Party maintaining and gaining more and more political power and control as their voting base shrinks.

Now, faced with the real prospect of having their Chosen One, the Racist Rapist selected by the Electoral Collage for the White House, removed conservatives are turning back to their tried and true lever of controlling the Government; Violence.

Conservatives are aching, yearning, waiting for the order to begin killing the Non-#Maga. And before you dismiss this because the rightwing domestic terrorists have no planes and no tanks understand: the Arch-Traitor Oathkeepers don't believe they will beat the U.S. Army, they believe as their sporadic acts of rightwing terror unfold and morph into full-blown Civil War, the U.S. Army will join them.

The Trump family and the Republican Party are straight-up Traitors

We are a Republic not a Democracy - Conservative Mantra. Thanks to the traitorous Republican Party we have become a Respublik under Russian control.

Right wingers claim 3 million votes for Hillary were illegal, to explain why Trump was awarded the Presidency, as the ultimate Participation Trophy for coming in second place.  But, distressingly conservatives allowed 1 Dictator to determine the 2016 Presidential Election.

The Republicans always admired Dictator V. Putin.  Conservatives cherish and revere Putin because they long to have a strongman authoritarian dictator in office.  Putin's been sending Russian Agents into the US to destabilize faith in our governmental institutions and he found a willing partner in the Republican Party.  Putin shrewdly bought low and purchased Donald Trump in the 1990's and sat on his investment.  As the American Right-Wing descended into reactionary insanity and lost the last shreds of diginity, morality, and patriotism, Putin bought them too.

"There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump – swear to god!", Majority Leader of the Traitor Republicans Kevin McCarthy admitted to House Lead Traitor Paul Ryan and Gun Nut Steve Scalise last year.

Now Putin is selling High as he orders Trump in their private secretive meetings and the Republicans to eviscerate the American Dream at home and the American Ideal abroad.  Russian asset Dana Rohrabacher was ordered by Kremlin officials to disseminate Russian Propaganda on the U.S. House floor to weaken the Untied States and aid Putin and the Russian Government.

The Republican Party, henceforth the Республиканская партия (anglicized Respublikanskaya Partiya) takes orders from the FSB and the Kremlin. Respublikanskayas have known for years Trump and members of Congress are owned by Vladimir Putin.

So, the Republican Party are allied with a foreign power to subvert the United States.  The Respublikanskaya Partiya declared war on the United States decades ago and have no compunctions when it comes to undermining elections, disseminating lies and propaganda, collaborating with foreign powers, and engaging in all manner of illegal activities in order to achieve power.

"Of course it’s legal – it’s war," Traitor Rudy Giuliani answered, laughing. "Until the war is over, anything is legal."

The Respublikanskaya Partiya goal is to remake America into a Neo-Feudal Tyranny in which all power and wealth resides in the hands of the 1% and Republicans act as vicious Guard Dogs for the Plutocracy, keeping the 99% shackled in perpetual wage slavery.

If it means the Republicans have to pay dividends to V. Putin well that's just the price for enacting their brutal evil agenda. 

What's shocking, depressing, and ironic is the the Republicans efforts, since Prime Traitor Ronnie Raygun, to undermine faith in the United States, sow distrust in the government, and swipe the American Dream from the hands of the working class has allowed the Evil Empire under Putin to succeed where it failed as the Soviet Union.

Conservatives don't care about Russia because they willingly serve a KGB Colonel

Conservative means to serve and American conservatives serve a KGB Colonel. Republicans aren't worried about the Arch-Traitor Trump because Republicans hate the American People. Trump's Treason doesn't matter to the Right-Wingers because right-wingers always knew about the Russia collusion and interference in the 2016 elections.

Arch-Traitor Donald Trump was guaranteed to pass the evil legislation Republicans crafted so, why would they waste time investigating someone whom a) they agree with, b) committed treason with, and c) gave them the opportunity to eliminate the Social Safety Net and crush the American people under the yoke of corporate bondage and generational penury.

Paul Ryan and the Республиканская партия have been dreaming of the day they could take away the modest governmental aid which goes to the sick, the old, the lame, and the poor.  Steve King floated the Republican plan to cosign millions of Americans to an early death as they funnel women's healthcare funding and take food from the mouths of hungry children to pay for the Wall along the Mexican border.

The Banana Republicans hate the 20th Century, hate the American Dream being opened up to undeserving people, and hate that the poor don't work until they die.  The Respublikanskaya Partiya have been working to limit voting rights, purge voting records, rig election machines, engage in byzantine court-room legerdemain, and now openly allying with a Foreign Power to undermine and ensure vicious people are placed into the 3 Branches of Government to transform the Nation into a giant Republican Death Camp.

But, never forget Conservatives don't care about any of this.  Conservatives will gleefully let Trump and the Republicans slit their throats because they know Trump and the Republicans will slit the throats of the undeserving (blacks, hispanics, feminists, liberals, immigrants) first and as long as Conservatives get to watch other suffer they will willing aid the Republican Butchers in their tasks.

Traitor Trump, Respublikanets, and conservative criminals

It's incontrovertible the Respublikanets Party, numerous members of Traitor Trump's campaign, Trump's son, Vice-Traitor Mike Pence, and the Arch-Traitor Donald Trump himself allied with the FSB, additional agents of the Russian Spy Network, the Russian Government, and Vladimir Putin to illegally steal the 2016 Presidential election thus committing high crimes and misdemeanors.

The Respublikanet Party allied with Russia in service to their Plutocratic Overlords. As such they were willing to violate laws, undercut the election process, undermine U.S. Intelligence agencies, and betray the American people, because they knew Donald Trump as President would fast track their agenda of intolerance, oppression and adulation of rich.  Republicans hate the United States of America. Republicans believed they have a chance to eliminate the social safety net, end the American Dream and shackle the American people under crushing burden of corporate bondage.

As the evidence of Trump's Treason against the United States of America mounts conservatives have turned to a well-worn tactic first advanced by creationists.  To attack the fact of evolution, duplicitous conservative creationists demand that every facet of evolution needs to be explained or it's not true.  Russia and the Republicans colluded in treason to steal the election but, conservatives claim unless you can show every in and out, every shred of evidence, then it's not true.

Additionally, Republican criminals have changed their ardent denials from there was never any collusion, to the collusion occurred but's it's a "Nothingburger".  Now conservatives proclaim the collusion which they say never occurred is the fault of Barack Obama.

The Traitor Trump family, the Russian-aligned Republicans and their conservative criminals will never admit to their monstrous crimes and treason.  As the evidence mounts and the downfall of Arch-Traitor Trump grows more and more likely the Republican villains are going to issue louder and louder calls for political violence to their conservative domestic terrorist cells who are just aching to be unleashed to murder their enemies, the American People, in an orgy of violence instead of the slow death inflicted by Republican laws.

Senator Mike Lee fancies himself a medieval Polish Nobleman

Pudgy Utah Republicon Mike Lee has been successful in using a procedural hold in the US Senate to keep $250 million in Federal Relief from the lead-poisoned residents of Flint, Michigan.

This is not surprising coming from Mike Lee, one of the scummiest sychophants in the Senate today. Lee ran for Senate on a platform of repealing Child Labor Laws, so he has no problem with children being harmed and sees protecting children as Unconstitutional, a function outside the scope of the United States Government. This, of course, also serves the right-wing mantra that government doesn't work.

Since, he's been in office Lee's "highlights" include; proudly marching on the White House with Sarah Palin, Senator Rafael 'Ted' Cruz, Larry Klayman, and a 100 conservative domestic terrorists under the banner of the confederate flag, the symbol of the worst arch-traitors in American History, to demand the arrest and lynching of President Obama.

He's also used the arcane procedural rules of the Senate to deliberately sabotage the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Lee demanded a constitutional amendment making it possible to raise taxes only when approved by 2/3rds of both the House and Senate and threatened if it wasn't approved "in his framework" he'd shut down the Government. When 'Ted' Cruz did shut down the government in 2013, Lee continued to enjoy all the financial perks of his office, "I’m working," Republican Senator Mike Lee. "I’ll continue to be paid*."

When he began his hold Lee stated, "If we create a precedent that suggests any time there’s a significant problem with a locally operated utility that operates entirely intrastate. I would ask, where’s the stopping point? What’s the limit?" - this is basically the same argument Lee touted after Hurricane Sandy and Republicons were screeching during Hurrucane Katrina, i.e. 'FYIGM*!'

Of course, Lee sang a different tune when it came to Federal Disaster Relief for Utah in 2011. In that case it was 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!'

It's no mystery why Lee is withholding the funds from the residents of Flint, Michigan; they are poor, mainly black, and they've been screwed by a Republican Governor. This is the essence of Republicon governance. Steal money, kill the poor, and use every piece of "legal" recourse to ensure those people stay screwed.

But, in using byzantine Senate procedure to withhold the money in the Energy Mordenization Bill, Lee is repeating history as farce. I wrote previously about the Polish Sejm and liberum veto,

The Golden Freedom, which the magnates defended with every bit of chicanery and power they commanded, was the freedom of the few to oppress the many... - James A. Michener's, Poland

In the novel Poland, Michener describes how the, "incredible liberum veto, by which one nobleman in the Seym (parliament) of hundreds could negate and prorogue the entire work of the Seym by merely crying, 'I oppose!', was a major cause of Poland's disappearance from the map of Europe". 

The Republicons are not interested the United States or 99% of its' citizens, what they are interested in and busily working towards, is the re-feudalization of America. They are in office to destroy the federal government, or more specifically those parts of the federal government which aid the poor and working class, and to create a Wage Slavery State in which every man, woman, and child is held at the whim of the Rich and shackled in Corporate Bondage.
