Wow!
Fancy words (for me, anyway):
bellicosity
somnambulating
coruscation
fulminated
I hope the author is right and these two public circus acts don’t dissolve into the noise.
I do try to maintain an optimistic attitude. I am sad that there have been no indictments and that AG Barr seems to focus more on his bagpipes than on draining the swamp. HOWEVER -- even without any of that, the Democrats have openly positioned themselves as insanely anti-American. They are fringe, with Biden (Biden!!) being the most normal one on their roster.
Now imagine that AG Barr puts down the bagpipes and starts the wheels turning. Insane anti-Americans? Comey? Brennan? Hillary? Obama? Given the state of the party today, how hard will it be for average people to say, "Wow! That party is nothing but evil!"?
Black is right that this material will come out; that in “normal” times it would be huge.
But if a redwood falls and no one is around to hear it, does it matter?
The problem with ALL of the revelations is that neither Wray nor Sessions nor Barr has been willing to do a damn thing about any of it. Even Horowitz couches his reports in less than brutal language. Horowitz’s reports allow slime like Comey to pretend he did nothing wrong and allow the Hoax News media to avoid even discussing it as a reality.
Therefore, for all intents and purposes all the tick tocks/booms/bombshells of WHATEVER is released will be insignificant. To turn the old courtroom maxim on its head, it doesn’t matter what you can prove, it only matters what the “jury” hears-—in this case, the American public. But the Bible says “faith comes by HEARING,” not having heard. Hearing, and hearing, and hearing. This is precisely how good propaganda works.
Part of that hearing is, . . . “if it is true, someone would have been arrested by now.” And so there we are.
Some claim it is all 4D chess. That the arrests need to be timed to impact the election that is coming. To which I reply, “BS!” Barr could arrest 20 people yesterday and their trials would be front page next year. Barr is doing nothing because that is what he is going to do today, tomorrow, and every day he remains in place.
I hope that you are on. But I fear that you are right. Government rarely polices itself to any meaningful degree.
To me it is becoming glaringly obvious that Barr replacing Sessions is a back room deal Trump made. The deal allowed Trump to bring Barr in to put an end to Mueller’s Treason. The counterpart to this deal was the coup conspirators would be allowed to skate “to protect the integrity of the DOJ (FBI).” Not my words, Barr’s very own words. The thing the “elites’ overlooked in this deal was that WE weren’t party to it and would never approve. So Barr may have saved the DOJ a public flogging but in doing so he is destroying the country itself. IMHO, this is a good thing because if such a deal was made this country needs to be destroyed and replaced with a better one. So it all works out pretty conveniently, really. WE don’t need to “do” a damn thing. Barr and the DOJ are destroying the country for us. Just stand ready to pick up the pieces.
The absolute worst thing about the Russian collusion hoax was that it set a new low precedent. If the people who committed this atrocity are left unpunished then our system is irreparably harmed.
Sadly there doesn’t seem to be any political will or sense of justice within the DOJ to punish the traitorous heathens who committed these grave crimes.
A nation with a two-tier justice system is really not a nation at all. Just a conglomeration of BS words with lots of shovels to pile it on.
It also sets the tone from the top that our laws are meant to be broken. Not good at all. It also numbers the days this nation can survive as a nation before anarchy and chaos becomes the norm.
Then the idiot pols ask why there are so many young people going off the rails! No justice; no peace. They made this happen by not fixing the border security problem and punishing the law-abiding instead of the criminals of which they can include themselves. It’s hard to not consider the current crop of pols as criminals with the exception of just a few.
Tagline!
“But if a redwood falls and no one is around to hear it, does it matter?”
Except there will be millions of voters who will be around to hear it when it falls (if it ever actually does).
That “if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make any noise?” is the best analogy I’ve heard regarding the MSM, and subsequently, the public at large when it comes to this whole steaming travesty against President Trump.
Keep your powder dry.
Keep in mind that if there no indictments this will have a negative effect on voter turnout. Trump needs to handcuff a few people or the whole collusion hoax will hurt him at election time!
The Press will not report on the coup scandal as they themselves are involved. They will instead do everything in their power to cover it up or deflect attention.
Conrad Black likes his words and I wonder if he naturally talks this way or that it is a put on, in part, because as a one time Lord in the British Parliament, that is what you do: flog your verbal acuity. It makes you seem smart, competence and classy. It also instills fear and respect in your enemies, though it didn’t help Conrad all that much when he served a prison sentence in the US. Still... there wasn’t much that we didn’t know in this piece. It was a fancy summation to deliver two main points. The two points are really reducible to one main point: the sh@t will hit the fan come 2020. Again, not much that we didn’t know already.
There are two gigantic unrealities, time-bombs that will detonate in the four months to the beginning of the delegate-selection process for nominees of the major parties to national office. The first is the gigantic eruption of the scandalous attempt to affect and undo the 2016 election. The second is the fact that when the public finally looks seriously at the Democratic candidates, the race will tilt like a teeter-totter when a 300-pound man sits at the opposite end to a child. (My emphasis.)
Fat chance on the first unless Barr does his job. Prosecuting McCabe is the litmus test, a test he's so far failed.
I hate to say it, but I think you’re right. Otherwise, McCabe would have been indicted by now.
As far as Black’s language is concerned, I don’t think it’s put on in any way. Rather, it’s how he was taught to write and speak from the day he was born. Grow up way, being constantly corrected by your parents and others, you get that way. The other side of the coin is black “ghetto talk,” learned from childhood and very hard to unlearn.
I know somebody who speaks like Black and it was a pretense of sorts, a romantic pretense, but a pretense because they really grew up in a white, middle class ghetto. They didn’t want their background known. The only thing they wanted known was that they were capable of attending cocktail parties where they would speak at length about Thomas Hobbes. Speaking about Hobbes at a cocktail party isn’t done — but they thought so, in a romantic never-having-done-it way.
