lol Walker's still citing Breitbart, I see.

Some opinions are worth more than others. Walker's opinions are the worthless kind because he gets them straight from the ruling elite's propaganda machine.
He never gave up on Sidney Powell's "Kraken" thing, even though we now know her main source for the wild claims she made was collecting their evidence in a process something "like time-travel in a semi-conscious state."

The ability of Walker to believe whatever he needs to believe in order to converge with the beliefs of his batchit crazy peer group no matter how mad is sort of triumphant in a way.

"Nobody care about Warren. He's been workin' so hard over the past few weeks. Just look at him! His hair's unkempt, doesn't look like he's shaved in a while, his suit is crumpled, and just look at the mess his office is in."

"Lemme guess, he's the guy who isn't on this year's Nobel Prize candidates list?"

"Well, that isn't really obvious, but yeah, he isn't."

"It's obvious to me. I've got an eagle's vision and from here I can see the equations he's workin' on. Nope, not Nobel material."

"Aah! I see what you mean. Too many square brackets, eh?"

What's the deal with Agent Smith?
Is he just PhilX returned with a silly French disguise and a renewed determination to spam pointless shit?

Don't worry. The totalitarian state will get Trump by any means necessary, and the Leftist citizen will approve.
Sounds good.
You're disgusting. Seriously.

That response of yours displays the ethics of a Nazi guard at a concentration camp. Seriously.

The persecution of Trump, and the public approval of this persecution that requires the weaponization of social institutions for the benefit of The Party, is evidence of the moral depravity and corruption that has permeated the culture.
OK. Maybe you have a point.

At the moment the pressures to overthrow the current order of things seem to be coming from all sides, including within.

I can understand the desire to do whatever is necessary to prevent another world war. But the alternative (if it's even possible to pursue it) seems to be to allow China and Russia to get what they want, which seems to ultimately include the dismantling of NATO and Western hegemony. If we do that, then where is that going to leave China and Russia, except with even more power to shape the world the way they want it?

It seems to me that the world is the way it is. How it got here is up for speculation but "globalism" or whatever you want to call it is here and it's not going to go away because China and Russia don't like it. They've chosen to oppose it every step of the way and they've chosen to test the waters to get what they want every step of the way. China has consistently threatened Taiwan. Russia has relentlessly sought to reunite the former Soviet blocs. China and Russia were both doing very well for themselves prior to hostilities and they have been improving. Fewer in those countries were starving compared to past situations. But apparently, that's not enough for China and Russia. They seem to want autonomy from or else hegemony of global trade and interaction. What is that except a power play by two despotic regimes who are speaking only for their own personal desires and those of their henchmen? Is what they desire worth putting the global order in jeopardy, bringing us to the brink of all-out hostilities? Those two autocratic regimes have the power to prevent WWIII. The global order is a loose confederation of economic entities that really want little more than to profit. That's not going to go away and it can't dismantle itself in the same way that two autocrats can exercise their own free will to stop rattling their sabers.

That's my view of things. Granted it's not utopian.

Provided we can prevent armageddon, we're going to continue to live in a world where there is global trade and some degree of relative cooperation among various nations. And there will be continued efforts to help those countries that are struggling. However, the governments of China and Russia (=Putin and Jinping) are seeking nothing more than unrealistic goals and they will keep pursuing them at all costs, including outright invasion (Ukraine and Taiwan).

China and Russia can back down at the behest of their leaders. A global trading system composed of disparate entities seeking prosperity cannot make such decisions. What we have is essentially economic anarchism. What they have and want is essentially to consolidate personal power. Therefore everything hangs in the balance at the behest of Putin and Jinping and their respective administrators.

You mean Walker still has the hots for Sidney Powell? As in “Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” (Tucker Carlson to Laura Ingraham) and “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her" (Ingraham to Carlson)

Re: Trump's possible arrest.

- Throw Trump behind bars and get a photograph of him behind bars.
- A bonus for getting him into an orange jump suit.

- 2 impeachments. The arrest. The photograph behind bars.
- Who would vote for such a criminal?
- Only criminals vote for criminals.
Brilliant!

This evidence illustrates that perception of deflection can in fact be a delusional projection of personal behavior that creates a cascade of self-reflective rather than reality-reflective suppositions, and then they pose as quasi-rhetorical questions posing as assertions.
Classic projection
:roll:

Classic ignorant response.
Look up projection in the DSM. It will provide relief from ignorance.

That's what illegals are coached to say because that's all you gotta do. Just say the words. Your background does not matter. Your history does not matter. The truth does not matter. The authorities cannot possibly investigate. Just say the words. Secular Sanctuary!

It's as easy to be granted asylum as Dorothy clicking the heels of her ruby slippers. Just say the words.

It's much easier these days with the open border, much easier than the Jews of Europe had it during the WWII era. Rather than granting them asylum because of their real need of asylum, the Leftist Roosevelt turned them away, and he knew the real persecution awaiting their return to the homeland. Why did he turn them away? Because the Left is the party of racism. That's why they project it onto everyone else.

Thank you for the opportunity to explain this particular type of ignorance displayed by your bumper-sticker Leftist talking point that so many uninformed, propogandizing Lefists love to spout.
Look up illegal.

Question:

Dear Lying, Lawbreaking Reader: “How many more of a country’s laws would you break after you broke the law to enter that country?”

We insist that you answer this question.
It isn’t addressed to me.
There's no need for you to answer it.

The point was made in the asking of the question, and to whom it was asked.

Obviously.
Of course you are, but what am I?

Enjoy reading more of what you know is true.
Arresting Donald Trump
By Kevin McCullough | Mar 19, 2023
https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmc ... p-n2620859

For much of the last two months the rumors have swirled. On Saturday the former President acknowledged it. On Tuesday it may happen.

As I said on That KEVIN Show this has been one of the worst kept secrets in the modern era.

What happens if they do? What happens if they put handcuffs on a former President?

If you’ve watched social media this weekend the reaction has ranged. Trump supporters have asserted flatly that it insures his re-ascendancy to the White House. Trump haters are mixed with some gloating “we finally got him!” Some are accusing him of attempting to start a civil war. They say this because he merely said “protest” in his post on Truth Social that went viral.

Between the gloating and the accusing there appears to be a good deal of panic on the left about the outcome.

But why?

If the evidence was so strong, why the fear of the American people?

The answer is simple. The “evidence” is non-existent and they already know in a deep place inside themselves that the American people are fair-minded. They understand that Americans are watching the next iteration of a witch hunt that has been long in the making and thwarted via self destruction at every point where they were convinced they had stopped him.

It never had to be this way.

But the left hates America, and when someone comes in and shatters the facade that allowed that hatred to fester, then put simply, he becomes the number one problem.

So they slowly dripped Russia Collusion for years—only to have the truth revealed that it was his opponent who had worked with Russia to collude against him.

They impeached him for a PHONE CALL with a transcript that clearly showed he committed no offense. Of course the current *the president was caught clearly on video bragging about the bribery and corruption he exercised with the same country.

They used the cover of a virus outbreak and a pandemic to bamboozle policy, change state voting standards across many states, allow what were later deemed to be unconstitutional dropboxes, erasure of ID requirements and signature matching and other means to gin up the “turnout” and rig an election to get him out.

They impeached him a second time (after he was out of office — which is constitutionally unfounded) to say that he caused a deadly insurrection — when the only person who died on the day in question was one of his supporters.

They subpoenaed his tax records and fought to make them public—only to realize that he had paid everything he owed to the letter of the law.

They went after his kids as though they were criminals on the run, though they have yet to indict one of them for an accusation of criminal wrongdoing. It should be noted that the son of the current *the president has evidence of likely financial crimes, corruption of a certain public official, and tawdry crimes like sex with a family member and more on a laptop that sits in their possession. Yet nary a word.

They sent now disgraced FBI goons to rummage through his home, his son’s possessions and his wife’s underwear. All of it for naught.

So if the rumors are true, here’s what they are boiling it down to: he wrote a check to his lawyer, and recorded that payment in his ledger as a legal expense. They are also saying that if you twist the definitions of things far enough it may have violated campaign finance laws.

That’s it.

After overturning every nook and cranny in the life of Donald Trump it comes down to a ledger entry description.

The crimes they accuse him of are misdemeanors or the lightest level felony possible. They don’t carry jail time.

They will be prosecuted by an embarrassing excuse of a District Attorney who is a fully funded George Soros puppet. A prosecutor who on day one of his job declared he would no longer prosecute a variety of serious and frequent crimes that citizens need protection from.

But he will prosecute an “inaccurate” ledger entry.

He will likely lean on a “star witness” who is a known liar, and go to jail for doing so.

The reason Trump’s opponents are so nervous about the outcome here, is that the evidence of a crime—nay even any wrong doing at all—is thinner than the lip gloss that Stormy Daniels wears.

Wealthy public figures are often subject to dishonest attacks. I personally know multiple such figures and to a person they’ve told me they’ve all paid nuisance payments to legally get the harassment to stop.

Trump’s opponents know it too.

Arresting Donald Trump gives them a momentary seeming victory on the battlefield between the America Last and America First forces.

But when he is vindicated—and to be clear he always has been—he will have won the war.

As he often said on the campaign trail, “They are coming after me (Trump) because I am fighting for you (the American people.)

It’s true.

The “evidence” is non-existent ...

It's your inquiry into the evidence that is non-existent, Walker. You are deaf and blind to your man's iniquity.
  • Trump paid a sex worker $130 000 through an intermediary.
  • He falsely recorded that in his records as a payment to the intermediary.
Falsification of business records can get you four years in Sing Sing. Your man might not be sent to prison, of course, but he's going to have a hard time arguing he's not guilty.

By far the biggest criminal who ever set foot in the White House was George W. Bush. People even elected him to a second term after his crime. Falsifying business records is amateur stuff compared to what the Bush administration did. Walker has a valid point in that Trump is being fanatically attacked by the media and those in power, whereas no such ruckus has yet to be stirred over George W. Bush. No one has taken him to court for anything that I'm aware of. Surely someone could find a few thousand dollars worth of tax evasion somewhere on the part of Bush or people in his administration responsible for the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan? Let alone hold him accountable for the crimes against humanity he perpetrated while in office.

Seriously, it's time to hold the Bush administration accountable. Trump is a petty criminal by comparison and the justice department is spending god knows how much on pursuing Trump.
