Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
Is it possible that Rep. Adam Schiff was hung out to dry by the devious Ms. Pelosi, feeding his vanity to be a one-man impeachment wrecking crew, knowing that the congressman from Hollywood would utterly blow it? Hmmmmm. Begins to look that way as Mr. Schiff’s House Intel Committee goes public this Wednesday with its soviet-style format on full display.
Well, first, why? Why allow this nitwit to stage an ersatz impeachment only to see it fail? Perhaps to cancel the Jacobin menace metastasizing in the Democratic Party and get on with the business of winning the 2020 elections — with old-school candidates hand-picked to end-run the gang of fantasists currently on display. The House Speaker must sniff the odor of failure in the wind. Joe Biden, smiling cretinously, blunders through the primary venues with a big red “L” plastered on his forehead, often uncertain of what state he’s landed in, or what direction to face the camera. Everybody over twelve in this land knows that his kid Hunter was on the grift in Ukraine, plain and simple, and that Joe assisted in the operation. Color him toast.
Elizabeth Warren has been caught lying very publicly twice now, first as a phony Cherokee Indian (for career advancement in academia), and lately claiming falsely that she was canned from a teaching job years ago for being pregnant (with a 2007 tape of her out telling a contradictory story). Of course, that’s just the cherry-on-top of her dazzlingly unsound policy proposals to bankrupt the nation. Doesn’t look like she can reel it all back in and pretend to be a credible person in time for a full-on campaign.
Bernie Sanders has not completely lost his appeal for the collectivist demographic. The heart attack barely broke his stride. His line of bullshit remains consistent: 20th century nanny-state “solutions” for the problem of a sunsetting industrial economy. The perception out there remains that the unearned riches of the rentier class can be rationally harvested to support the floundering multitudes. There is scant recognition that a Bernie program would only hasten that setting sun and vaporize all those figmentatious rentier riches lodged in the janky financial markets, leaving everybody equally high, dry, and bankrupt. Note: Bernie raised his hand along with everybody else on the debate platform to give free medical care to border jumpers, and it’s all on tape, too, like the Liz Warren vapor trail. Guess how that will play in the reddish states. Finally, how many of us really want a president that looks and acts like your ninth-grade math teacher?
The rest of the field comprises just so many horses that ain’t gonna finish, not even the saintly Mayor Pete of South bend, IN. The other mayor, Michael Bloomberg stepped up to the plate last week and has already racked up an 0-and-2 count. (Only in France do mayors get to be president.) So, guess who that leaves? Self-style gutsy woman Hillary Rodham Clinton, ready and willing to saddle up and reclaim her lost entitlement to rule the land. What has she been actually doing up in her Chappaqua fortress-of-solitude lo these 36 months of defeat and exile besides pretending to write that gutsy woman book? Exactly how much influence does she still exert in the party, and throughout the multitudinous worm-holes of the Deep State? How much more — more than the three-year RussiaGate hoax — is she behind in the effort to drive the US population toward psychosis and submission?
My own sense of things is that she still influences quite a bit — though that might come to a screeching halt when indictments rain down against a large cast of characters associated with the previous governing regime, herself included. After all, she did pay for foreign interference in the 2016 election. For starters think: Christopher Steele, British national, former MI6 employee, before you even start sorting through the sundry Ukrainians recently revealed as “meddlers” via the awkward “whistleblower” affair.
Which brings us back to Rep. Adam Schiff and his monkeyshines in the star chamber of his personal devising. Now that the show goes public, will he haul many of the same characters back into the witness chair to spin out his engineered narrative, without any cross examination allowed, or other felicities of due process? Someone ought to advise him that playing the Robespierre role tends toward an unhappy ending for the player. Especially when Mr. Jordan of Ohio, newly-seated on the Intel Committee, starts barking out points-of-order. I’m even half-wondering if Mr. Durham, the federal attorney, has not already measured up bills of indictment for Mr. Schiff himself, for the phony CIA agent “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella, the pre-wired IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, US chargé d’affaires for Ukraine Bill Taylor, and the spectacularly seditious Colonel Vindman, whose antics stand out in this latest coup attempt against the elected president. And then what kind of bag does that leave Ms. Pelosi holding?

I’m hoping for an extra large bag, torn and leaking, of San Fransicko’ s finest disease and drug saturated street shit.
No justice, no peace. In a rational world where government follows the rules Mr. Kunstler would be 100% on target….but alas we don’t live in that world and power flows from the barrel of a gun as Mao succinctly said. If we want Justice and our country back we will have to take it….are you ready?
Throughout my life I’ve always read about and watched coups on TV in far away, small, backwater nations. I never thought I’d get to observe one up close in my own backyard.
She has been awfully quiet of late, very unlike her.
She is letting her rubes and dupes do the talking for her…
same as it ever was..

LOL nice, Rob!
Life during wartime…
Please, wake me up when it’s over.
Make sure you are cleaned up first…and armed with humor!
When you’re wiser and you’re bolder ?
I wrote lyrics for a song (melody is “You’re No Good” below) to be produced by somebody and used at Trump rallies; I give it to the world: ” Marxist views, dumbed down schools, lying news… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… Global Fraud, Cultural War, no more Borders… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… LGB, take a knee, take our guns, kill our young… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… Free shit army, kill the man, loot the town, burn it down… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… Obamanations, discriminations, endless incriminations… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… Repo loans, Deep State Coup, what does Congress do… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good… Cover-up, her data dump, then Impeach President Trump… They’re no good, they’re no good, baby they’re no good…… So I’ll say it again, they’re no good, they’re no good, Democrats are no good, baby they’re no good…. ” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAFtu1tM9Vo
Death throws of a party, huh? Meaning the democrat party? Can’t see that happening. The kids want “free” stuff, want their student loans forgiven, etc. Bernie & Liawatha are promising them everything they want. They may be overreaching for 2020, but if you want a limited government, the trend is not your friend. And then there’s the demographics. At least if Warren wins, she’s promised a cut in military (I won’t call it “defense”) spending. Whether the military-industrial complex would allow it is uncertain. They haven’t allowed Trump to do anything.
Nikki Haley pretending to be America First is probably part of the GOPe’s attempt to see if they can get away with removing Trump and substituting someone to their liking as the 2020 candidate. If the senate goes along with removing Trump with this farcical impeachment, THAT will be the death throes of a party – the GOP. Trump is only marginally better than a democrat (if at all), but if those GOP faggots like Romney and Sassehole throw out the elected president on these flimsy grounds, I think I’ll just vote demonrat forever. Might as well burn this fucker to the ground.
“The kids want “free” stuff, want their student loans forgiven, etc. Bernie & Liawatha are promising them everything they want.”
We just had lunch at Brann’s. Only three servers showed up today out of ten on the schedule, took over an hour for two glasses of water and a couple of salads.
We were told by the manager that apparently, “the kids” who were scheduled to serve food decided today was a good day to take off, not just for those that have served….
Just what this country needs, fucking retards that vote.
Democrats are the left wing faction of the uni-party.
Divide and conquer tactics. They seem to be working very well.
Rules for radicals. Overload the system and bring it down. Democrats are damaging the country in ways that nobody is talking about.
They are using the asylum system to implement the Cloward Piven theory.
If impeached, Trump can run and get another eight years. Fear Not.
Does that mean that if he is unsuccessfully impeached in his second term he could run for another couple of terms, and he could be President for 16 years? Are his supporters pushing this impeachment thing?
The good news is that if a Democrat ever wins again we just immediately impeach them right away. I think SHTF happens either in 2020 or after Trump leaves in 2024.
I have a gentleman’s bet on climax 2024, with a prelude, peek into the future in winter 2020/spring 2021. I say spring 2021 because the lazy fuckers that like to party with the cops can’t handle the cold.
Those party animals also don’t like the sunlight much either, especially early in the morning.
My money is on ’24. This next election is the dress rehearsal, as is the impeachment inquisition. They are pretty sure Trump will get re-elected and want him to be not only a lame duck, but a critically wounded duck, as well.
Agree. Also, I think they want to play a game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, so as to neuter conservatism once and for all. “See, the free market doesn’t work.” (Never mind the fact that we haven’t had a free market in 100+ years…)
Where did you get that little tidbit? the 22A is pretty clear:
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice…”
Amen,Iska!
The Dems will tear themselves apart in 2020 and Ivanka will steal their absolutely coveted 1st woman President badge in 2024, cementing their destruction in perpetuity.
20 GOP congresscritters are not returning for 2020, will it break the 2018 record of 46?
Trump and team are consolidating with military like precision, the Dems are far less evolved, postponing the inevitable will likely lead to a schism, post 2020.
Fertile ground for Ivanka to clean up.
This is nothing but a Q-post in drag to keep you guys sedated a little longer. You’ve got career CIA hacks and cold blooded killers like Pieczenik making the news circuit supporting Trump and you still think Donny is the white hat.
Exactly. The political spectacle in DC is a scripted clown show to keep the sheeple dumbed down.
Jim Kunstler is a conservative flavored propagandist.
As Paulie said to Apollo Creed in Rocky III:
“I don’t sweat you”.
Trump will wear the House’s Impeachment like being awarded the Iron Cross. Chuck the Democrats.
If Trump is removed from office this nation will tear itself apart .Next on the agenda will be gun control and the only way that’s going to happen is by force.
BB? Folks here were afraid you were MIA. I’m sure they will be relieved.
C Be.
Yes we were. BB we thought a Lot Lizzard might have gotten you. Good to see you.
Ditto Flea and SeeBee.
Nobody in power has ever gone to jail. There will be no laying of treasonous charges either. They will all quietly resign with pensions and move jobs into the corporate masters for 10x pay. This you can bet on.
Until someone gets in office who suspends what’s left of the Constitution, implements martial law, frog-marches them to trial and to the Ceaușescu Wall if necessary, and restores order over a decade (or longer).
Oops, the shit in my hand just filled up. I apologize in advance for the smell.
I’d probably vote for a benevolent dictator who intended to restore traditional America.
And that is what we refer to as an unimpeachable fact.
I said the same thing in another post. “No one is going to jail. Ever.” Jail is for the little people like you and I.

Every time I go to vote, I flash my driver’s license as proof that I am the actual fucking registered voter.
Usually, the poll volunteer says that I don’t need to … and then I say … Maybe I should be??????
Hello, fucking mcfly!!!!!
But that only amounts to 58,000 additional Democrat votes….
This article is wishful thinking.
I say we take off and nuke the whole thing from space.
LOL!!!
“it’s the only way to be sure….”
What if they pull it off?
Think of the morons screaming at the sky and every TV pundit that thought She couldn’t lose…but She did.
Where does that leave us if they do manage to pull it off or Orange Man loses? Completely deluded and caught in our own echo chamber? This is what concerns me.
What would we be doing right now or in 2017 if Hill and Bill were back in the Bighouse? The Repukeacrats would still control the house but what would we be doing?
The next year is going to lulzy to say the least. At the Macraynall roundtable (cider not optional) it has been decided the one thing that will make this election even funnier is if Hillary runs for president. But wait! Funnier than that would be if she wins. But Then! Even Funnier!. The funnest fun-bag of all! She wins and signs an executive order confiscating everybody’s guns. Folks, in this land called ‘America’ the lulz would never end. There are no words that can express what a comedy that would be.
