Several years ago, the man I had referred to as America's leading political analyst, the Countenance Blogmeister, announced that the U.S. Constitution was dead.

Many years go, I said as much, when I wrote of how the written Constitution had been usurped by "civil rights law," which eliminated the rights of Whites.

In 2020, President Trump won re-election, and yet in The Big Steal, the democrats stole the election, and placed fake president Joe Biden, of the Biden crime family, in the white house.  

The Big Steal cannot be remedied via impeachment, because an impeachment trial would presuppose that Biden is the president. Thus, there is no peaceful solution to the situation. fake president Joe Biden must be removed from the white house by force.

For several years, my sometimes colleague Steve Sailer has made similar observations, in which he has said that the democrats have flooded the country with illegals, which they have used to rig "democratic" elections.

However, I am not a Trump fan. As I wrote at the end of his first term, the man is a con man who played us for fools. And he made no effort to pardon the 1/6 demonstrators. However, patriots must avoid the extremes of Trump-worship on the one hand, and denying The Big Steal, on the other.

As far as the conduct of the capitol police on 1/6,  far from handcuffing themselves, black officers murdered several White demonstrators. They had no compunctions about the use of force, because they were murdering patriotic Whites: Ashli Babbitt, 34; Roseanne Boyland, also 34; Kevin Greeson, 55; and Benjamin Phillips, 50.

That there are plenty of unpleasant truths out there makes it more important, if less appetizing, to tell them without the varnish.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

That there are plenty of unpleasant truths out there makes it more important, if less appetizing, to tell them without the varnish. William Otis Dec 7   Cross-post   Over the weekend, it came out that President Trump suggested that, in a case of gross election rigging and fraud, which he believes we had in 2020, it behooves us to set aside the normal rules, including those in the Constitution, to install him as President, or at the least to re-do the election. Specifically, what he said was: So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great "Founders" did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections! The words are there for all to see; what worthwhile point is to be served by trying to throw in some gloss, as many on each side have attempted? The Never Trumpers have been doing a huge (shall we say) amount of breast-beating ever since, demanding that Republicans denounce this. For once, they have a point. The idea that a person who was President and wants to be again believes that there are any circumstances whatever that warrant termination, even if only temporarily, of constitutional law is preposterous, and if it had any serious traction — which it doesn't, as the Left knows — would be dangerous. The first obligation of the President, as reflected in his oath of Office, is to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, not send it packing when it affords what he regards as insufficient protection for his electoral interests. In my view, it was clear before now that Trump was unfit for office, so to me, the most recent episode is mere surplusage. Trump has no virtue or combination of virtues that could overcome the per se disqualification he earned with this Tweet. (To those who say we should have learned to take Trump seriously not literally, I would ask what version of taking this seriously is not disqualifying for Office). But that's not the whole story. The table-pounding demand for a denunciation is not just a conscience-driven imperative for lawful, democratic government. It's a political game by the Democrats and the MSM (forgive the redundancy) to divert attention from the pathetic job they have done for the last two years. Not for nothing is Biden way under water, and not for nothing is trust in the federal government at an all-time low. I mean, what exactly has this bunch done right? Inflation? Economic dislocation? Workforce participation? Exploding interest rates? A major war in Europe? Iran building The Big One? Surging crime? Race-huckstering for the (momentarily) favored group? Drag queens for third graders? If this is your record, darn right you want to divert attention to something else, and what better than The Donald — the man who, by his near-psychotic self-absorption and remorseless (and really loud) sense of victimhood, demands the limelight. The media, always with a keen eye for a sucker, is delighted to give it to him, thus to divert attention, not only from the breathtaking failures of its pals in the Administration, but from its own aggressive dishonesty in promoting the fairytale Russiagate story, among other hoaxes. Still: Just as the pro-Trumpers should stop minimizing Trump's appalling dismissal (when useful) of the Constitution, the Democrats should stop with their breathless mantra that Trump is a "threat to democracy." He is no such thing. He's an ex-President with a considerable but fast dissipating following, facing serious legal problems partly hatched for him by his enemies' bile and selective outrage, but partly by his own recklessness (at the minimum) in dealing with the requirements of law. Probably the most prominent single item in the "threat to democracy" theme is Trump's still not fully defined role with the January 6 rioters at the Capitol. The main allegation is that Trump egged them on and effectively, even if not in the legal sense, conspired with them to bring to a halt, for the first time in our history, to America's most important icon of democratic rule, the peaceful transfer of power. It makes a scary story but it's not true. The rioters were nowhere close to succeeding in preventing Biden from becoming President. The idea that a bunch of malcontents dressed up in buffalo horns and body paint, but without so much as a pea shooter as far as I've been able to find out, were going to take down American democracy is the purest form of bunk, peddled by those who're first in line to accuse Republicans of — ready now? — fear mongering. And it's not just that the rioters never came close to succeeding (and are now instead a bunch of losing defendants in federal court looking to make whiny excuses). It's that they would never have made even the headway they did at the Capitol had the police been more assertive from the get-go, better prepared, and more willing to show, and if necessary to use, force. But of course anything resembling a serious use of force was off the table, because — let's all try to remember — the police in this country were, at the time, in the chilling backwash of the George Floyd Effect. Liberals and not a few libertarians were in full throat, and had been for months, that the cops are brutal, militarized, and too quick to beat people up. So in that atmosphere — an atmosphere sponsored mainly by Democrats — what happens? The cops back off. And then what happens? The lawless have a field day. And then what happens? The Democrats complain that "democracy is at risk." Beautiful. Again: The rioters broke the law. Although the Capitol police should have acted more forcefully, it wasn't their idea to storm the Capitol. Those who did, far from being the vanguard of some movement to overthrow democracy, very predictably have become a bunch of sheepish, sad-sack, guilty-pleading defendants. At no point, then or now, did they have a realistic chance of even a tactical victory, still less pose a threat to democracy. And neither, in his increasingly bizarre and increasingly repetitive ranting, does Donald Trump.   Cross-post     Like Comment Share
