Stop Your Wondering

11 Jul

OK, many of us have been trying to figure out what happened to the so-called reasonable republicans of days gone bye, the ones who weren’t rich, plain stupid, christian nationalists or nazis. Well, my wondering is over. They don’t exist any longer.

I believe the conservative politicians who once were somewhat reasonable people with a little bit of sense have gone completely power crazed. They know trump is a bum and a despicable human being, but they don’t care. They also know he doesn’t have many years left in that old dilapidated body of his.

A victory for trump would give them endless power to implement their agenda and take over the country with few legal constraints. They now have a conservative supreme court with lifetime powers and no enforceable code of ethics, and they have a congress so evenly divided that little progressive legislation ever has a chance of being passed. All they need now is a dictator who is immune to legal restraint.

This is what the conservatives have been attempting to accomplish for decades, and with trump as president, the final piece would fall into place.

Trump is no more than a temporary pawn in their game of thrones, a means to an end. They’ll have no use for him in the future. He’ll just become another political has-been who was used to help achieve the ultimate goal of total control of the country.

It’s a ruthless game with unlimited power as the prize, and they’ll stop at nothing to reap the rewards.

The Perfect Storm…

2 Jul

When conditions are right, a perfect storm will develop with the potential to destroy everything in its path. Today’s SCOTUS decision on Trump’s immunity may be the final element to unleash the mightiest storm to ever reach America’s shores.

Because of this Supreme Court decision, there is little chance of the most important Trump federal felony case going to trial before the election. Trump appointed Judge Canon has all the power to see the case never reaches trial, and she’ll use it if she can.

In addition, Trump’s Georgia election interference case is caught up in a quagmire due to a bad decision by the prosecutor. That case, too, is stalled out and dead in the water for now.

A trial, even without a conviction in either of those two cases could have been instrumental in preventing Trump from reaching the White House in 2025 and changing the course of the storm.

And finally, the big wind blowing; Biden’s performance in the debate was so poor that even many strong Democratic supporters are calling for his withdrawal. In addition, it’s not just the far-right press questioning his capacity, but some mainstream media outlets are reporting the story in a negative light.

Recent post debate polls are showing a decline in positive attitudes toward Biden by independents and undecideds. These are the two groups of voters who will make the difference in the election. If they swing toward Trump, he wins.

How do you stop a perfect storm? You can’t, it has to blow itself out or change course. If you’re in its path, you have to be prepared and protect yourself in every way possible.

We’re not yet in the eye of the storm with hopes of clear weather ahead, we’re facing its strongest winds and must make the best decisions for our survival.
