or almost a decade and a half now, the American "republic" has been decaying to the defining condition of a one-party state - that is, the total merger of the ruling party and the state. Last night, the dirty stinking rotten corrupt US Department of Justice signed off on a raid on Mar-a-Lago, so we've now moved into hardcore banana-republic territory: the regime's cops are busting into the home of the opposition leader. We're told this is because Trump took some "classified" documents with him when he left Washington. Yeah, that's always a pretext for an armed raid: You could ask Hillary Clinton or Sandy Berger.
The FBI has been getting more brazen about its political thuggery this last year, increasingly relaxed about putting its thumb on the democratic scale. As my old pal from Hillsdale days, Joy Pullman, notes in a column written pre-Mar-a-Lago:
In Michigan, the FBI openly meddled in the upcoming election by affecting the selection of candidates, arresting and charging the formerly leading Republican candidate for governor for misdemeanors. The FBI raided Ryan Kelley's home while polls showed him leading the primaries. In the primary election last week, he came in fourth.
Mission accomplished - and all while too many stars of the rube right were still insisting that there are just a few bad apples at the top, I know the rank-and-file, they're salt of the earth, straight-shooting G-men, they gave me this cute lapel pin, etc, etc. There are no straight-shooting G-men: Who do you think are manning the raids, you chumps? Where are the whistle-blowers? Or even the guys who say, "No thanks, I didn't sign up for this"? It's a wholly corrupted institution and has been for the best part of a decade...

This is like a Russian show trial.
Yeah, you let the charged have an attorney, perhaps even
a top notch one.
However, if that person actually helped your defense, they
would find their new assignment in Siberia to be par for
the course?
Chumps is right...

How was 20 boxes collected a narrowly focused search?
It seems we’re not a republic anymore. Not even a democracy.
I’m convinced:
next, the Marxists Communist Junta will track Trump down and just assassinate him, as the NKVD did to Stalin’s adversaries.

The Republic ended when the Constitution was abrogated by swearing in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
The Constitution says natural born citizen.
Obama is not one.
McCarthy and McConnell are not up for a fight. They need to go.
“McCarthy and McConnell are not up for a fight.”
Sorry to tell you, but there will be no fight in Congress.
A few speeches, then they all go to Capital Tavern for drinks and back slapping over how they pulled the wool over the rubes heads.
We will not get new leadership until WE provide new membership in both houses.
As long as we keep re-electing Mitch’s bitches and the 145 in the House that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021, we will never get new leadership.
Or, at the bottom of the Black Sea.
“stars of the rube right were still insisting that there are just a few bad apples at the top, I know the rank-and-file, they’re salt of the earth, straight-shooting G-men, they gave me this cute lapel pin”
Wonder who that could possibly be referring to? Lol 🧐
True
All governments eventually drift towards tyranny.
America proved it.
Kind of hard to have a one-party state when the other party controls the Senate and the Supreme Court. There’s plenty of stuff to complain about under Brandon without making stuff up.

Then, guess what, we shall have to be the unique and extraordinary culture that DOES NOT SUCCUMB TO TYRANNY.
We have set standards before and we have the power to set them again. Let’s see how this latest “crisis” shakes out.
We are certainly bigger and better than Rahm and Obummer and Biden.
This should be a piece of cake using constructive, responsible, acceptable ways to convince our American citizens that we are all Patriots. NO TRAITORS.
