Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
The Coen Brothers must be writing Nancy Pelosi’s script now, a kind of Macbeth update set in a swampy Potomac lowland at Halloween time: Madam Speaker rides her fabled scepter up in the night sky, around the capitol dome, across the moon’s laughing face, to the White House, trailing vapors of hatred and malice as she curses the Golden Golem within. Her mask matches her designer frock, woven of cobwebs with dark strands of enmity. Her hair is perfect. Her flight-path not so much, as the Golem below easily shoots her down through the oval office window with a rubber band and a paper clip and she augers, smoldering, into the rose garden… Fade out….
Well, tomorrow is here, and exactly the hour this blog regularly gets posted is when Mrs. Pelosi aims to announce her latest scheme for ousting Mr. Trump: perhaps a bill for some kind of new 25th Amendment commission to work around the inconvenience of the law as currently configured, that is, an executive branch prerogative. The stunt has two purposes: 1) to paint Mr. Trump as unfit — a song as old and boring now as I am Woman, Hear me Roar — and 2) to put up a smoke-screen diverting voters attention from her obdurate refusal to compromise on the latest Coronavirus relief bill.
The paranoid hysteria on display among the Party of Chaos suggests that those polls showing Ol’ White Joe Biden up twelve points may just be more media dis-info. The purpose: to claim, when the time comes, that the President won reelection by some kind of subterfuge, and justify an all-out post November 3rd Lawfare offensive to challenge the ballots in every swing-state, and do exactly what they are blaming Mr. Trump for in advance: confounding an orderly resolution of the peoples’ will.
Is it possible that some Democratic Party voters begin to suspect that the party officials running this game have lost their minds? A good signifier, of course, is the ghostly figure carrying their battle-flag, Mr. Biden, the Flying Dutchman candidate whose mind slips in and out of fog-banks as he navigates the shoals of defeat. Why did the Party ship out with him on the poop-deck? My guess would be: to deflect indictments of himself and many other former officials as the steady flow of documentary evidence gets released by new DNI John Ratcliffe, including a batch this past week showing pretty incontrovertibly that everybody and his uncle in the Obama executive branch was keenly aware that RussiaGate was a Hillary campaign ploy and allowed themselves to be weaponized into the scheme — under the assumption that she couldn’t lose and they’d never be found out.
She lost. They’re found out. Grand juries have been convened by Mr. Durham. Something wicked is coming their way. Their ship is going down and the rats are all squeaking desperately in the scuppers at the rising water. Won’t this all be a shock to that crew of media fabulists who stupidly maintain that the Mueller Report actually proved something — the David Frenches, Max Boots, and Rachel Maddows of this world and their True Believer followers? History is rhyming again. It’s like 1794 in Paris. The Jacobins Reign of Terror comes to its sudden and ignominious end with Robespierre bawling under the national razor. So does today’s Reign of Perfidious Sedition close, with Jim Comey bawling, “I can’t recall,” into his laptop.
Incidental to this is the breaking news — sure to not be reported in The New York Times or by CNN — that one Devon Archer, business partner of Hunter Biden (and John Kerry stepson, Christopher Heinz) has just had his previously overturned conviction for security fraud reinstated by a federal appeals court. Sound abstruse? Yeah, kind of, but, believe me this boy is in some serious hot water, the rap being a federal one, and Mr. Archer now poised to sing like a canary to John Durham’s posse about his various financial exploits in Ukraine and other foreign lands with Joe Biden’s son (and Mr. Kerry’s stepson) in exchange for lighter jail time. You just watch.
Keep your ears pricked also for developments involving Senate Select Committee on Intelligence ranking member Mark Warner (D-VA) and his role in 2016-17 as an active disseminator of Steele Dossier RussiaGate dis-info in coordination with the George Soros funded Democracy Integrity Project, run by former Dianne Feinstein chief-of-staff Dan Jones and assisted by swamp lawyer Adam Waldman, a Steele / Warner go-between who happened to be a $40,000-a-month lobbyist for one Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire and Clinton Foundation doner (at least $1-million) who also employed Christopher Steele as a dis-info errand boy. Unpacking that one will be like unpacking the surgical batting in a sucking chest wound. Scrub for it.
In this now bi-polar nation, the mood swings get wilder by the week. The President had a bit of a rough seven days, what with his Covid-19 treatment at Walter Reed and stunningly rapid recovery, which sent his adversaries into a transport of hebephrenic distemper. Vice-president Mike Pence calmed the waters a little bit in his Wednesday meet-up with the Harris Administration candidate — no doubt the rogue housefly poised above his right ear fed him juicy debating points. Kamala Harris demonstrated a talent for mugging, face-pulling, eye-rolling, and leering. If the veep thang doesn’t work out, she might consider a career as a mime. Her home turf, San Francisco, used to be full of them until the local pols let homeless junkies take over the streets.

Medical Definition of hebephrenia. : a disorganized form of schizophrenia characterized especially by incoherence, delusions which if present lack an underlying theme, and affect that is flat, inappropriate, or silly.
Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic dogs and other animals such as ferrets, skunks, and raccoons. It is an incurable, often fatal, multisystemic (affecting multiple organs) disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems.
Just some copy/paste work. I always get smarter when I read JHK.
Thanks for the work, hebephrenia, was on my list to hunt down. Yes, a master wordsmith.
It was the first word I groogled
Pelosi is drunk on pills, booze, and power. She is the reason why the DNC paid off Bernie (again) to step aside, and pushed poor old “Come on man” Joe into the limelight. I’m sure Joe would rather be sleeping in his recliner, than pretending to be a candidate.
Neither party represents any person, they both represent corporate/MIC interests, they don’t even write legislation, all of that is done by lobbyist.
The entire construct of Media, Politicians, and Wall st. is a huge fraud, all in bed with each other, distracting the population, while regular folks are looted, pillaged, and poisoned.
my prediction:
1. No big cheese goes to jail, no trials, just a few more underlings will be sacrificed.
2. This election will be a low at the polls voter turn out, and the mail in crap will outnumber the registered voters 2:1.
I don’t agree. I suppose we’ll see.
Trump is the first President since Andrew Jackson to take on the Banker-military alliance that has wrecked this nation…which is why the billionaires hate him.
He also has not started or escalated any wars– which is why the MIC arms suppliers and top brass hate him.
He also has fought against the Green Cult and carbon credit agenda, which is why the NWO crowd hates him.
He also has fought for a focus on the USA as a sovereign entity with its citizen’s interests first, which is why the Globalists, UN and Progs hate him.
For his myriad of warts and his frustrating lack of action with locking up some swamp creatures, I’ll take what he has done with a smile and knowing that he bought us 4 more years of time to prep.
Sounds like they may finally have to face the music; oh, wait, this just in from the news wire:
Now, it looks like that was much ado about nothing – as Barr “has made clear that they should not expect any further indictments or a comprehensive report before Nov. 3,” according to the report.
“This is the nightmare scenario. Essentially, the year and a half of arguably the number one issue for the Republican base is virtually meaningless if this doesn’t happen before the election,” a GOP aide told Axios.
So, what appeared to be a slam dunk of indictments, arrests, and long prison sentences for those despicable swamp creatures, looks to have hit a snag.
Perhaps one of the swamp creatures has been masquerading as the prosecutor, while proving to be the fly in the ointment that would have soothed the ravaging inflammation that is tearing this nation apart.
Barr has already been shown to be a team player, albeit on the wrong team.
His performance in the role of legal counsel, who argued to exonerate FBI sniper, Ron Horiuchi ,in the murder trial of Vicki Weaver, earned him his stripes, as he happily joined the other fetid creatures from the black lagoon.
Go along and get along, eh, Mr. Barr?
Yes, Barr is definitely a swamp creature extraordinaire, as are most of Trump’s appointments. Actually, I should say “most of Trump’s handler’s appointments”, because his appointments are made by his handlers. In fact Barr is one of those handlers. I am still trying to figure out if there is any point at which the clueless optimists will finally realize that the Barr/Durham/Horowitz/Huber etc investigations are simply theater to keep the Trump cult followers pacified. Maybe when there have still been no indictments in 2026 they will finally figure it out.
However, on a happy note for the Trump cult followers, Trump will almost certainly still be president on inauguration day next January. (I didn’t say he will “win” the election because it is somewhat probable that no consensus will even be reached on what constitutes a “win”.) I am still fairly certain that the NWO wants him to “win” again, for the same reason they wanted him to win in 2016, which is to keep the (armed) Right neutralized so they won’t effectively resist the scamdemic tyranny and BLM/Antifa riots.
I generally agree with your Trump will win conclusions, and i believe he has strong forces behind him, maybe even the same as his opponents, but I disagree with the neutralize the armed right bit.
Kuntsler still believing in Durham is like an adult believing in Santa Claus, except the adult’s parent/spouse/partner may come through with some presents from Santa. Durham’s investigation will die quietly as soon as they announce Creepy Old Joe as the next POTUS.
Yup, when Kuntsler wrote this… “Their ship is going down …” I said out loud…
“How many indictments so far? ZERO!”
…Chip
“Saggy Tits” Pelosi’s attempt to oust Trump via the 25th Amendment is simply brilliant. Hear me out before you vote down.
Here is a fact (I think): — If this election is a referendum about Trump’s personality he will most likely lose big time. It worked in 2016. This is 2020.
And that’s exactly what Pelosi’s stunt will accomplish. Trump might get all hot and bothered … gonna go Twitter crazy … issue his own barbs about Pelosi’s mental acuity … back and forth, on and on. Even if he wins that battle, he loses the war because Nancy goaded Trump into her trap.
Trump’s rallies are great and awesome and fun. So what! He’s preaching to the choir at those rallies.
But, I think he’s doing a pretty poor job redirecting the focus OFF OF HIM … and back on Harris&Biden. But, The Donald, who certainly has strong narcissistic tendencies (please, do not deny that!) seems to be stuck in 2016.
================= =
For example, the DemFuks keep calling him a raaycisss and will do so until the day of the election. Here’s something I just found out a couple days ago. The Palm Beach elites tried hard to block Trump’s purchase and development plans for Mar-a-Lago. One huge reason (among others) is because Trump was going to allow blacks and Hispanics to join the club. Why isn’t he touting that? Or the broad support from black pastors. Or the tremendous support he got from a wide swath of black leaders regarding his prison reform plan? Don’t deny what you see with your own eyes … he’s doing an absolutely SHITTY job in terms of getting out the message that he is no racist, and never has been.
Stucky: good points. Nothing will happen til after the elections, Barr already made that announcement and if the senile one and his ho ho win? Well……are we surprise,surprise, surprised?
1. And all that was totally different, until yesterday.
2. You don’t let your opponents set the frame of discussion.
Desperately grasping at straws.
Wrong–if his personality was a problem, he wouldn’t have won in 2016, or had a hit TV show….
He is doing a better job of getting his message out in the black community, through his surrogates. I believe one of his strategies is to get 20% of the Black vote. Considering that dems count on 90%+ of the black vote, it would hit them hard, maybe even enough to swing a few House seats, if they also vote R down ballot.
He has a populist message and has shown what he can do for the little guy, if given a chance. Dems are doing whatever they can to tank the economy, as the little guy votes with his pocketbook.
Pretty much every woman over 45 has saggy tits. Doesn’t mean they can’t still be fun balls.
eewwwww
But how many of the over 45 crowd want to still act like they are 23?
I’d try it if I could move a little faster.
The 25th Amendment commission is to ensure Kamala Harris is President. Pelosi is that certain in the election outcome, looking for “established precedent,” and is hoping that it is misunderstood as targeting another.
And 17 is the new count of supreme court justices in the new year.
Congress has no say in starting the process and only gets to vote if the VP/Cabinet are opposed by POTUS.
Watch to see who is in the cabinet in the next administration. If they are 0bama allies, Kammie will be able to implement the 25th process.
I have heard 13 is the number, adding 4 liberals to the existing 3, will give them a majority in every case.
This is my last territorial demand; I am not a crook; I did not have sex with that woman; Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman; the church members of Waco set themselves on fire; the US was attacked by North Vietnam in Tonkin Gulf; the Liberty attack and Bengahazi don’t matter; a barrel of fertilizer blew up the Murrah Building; Bldg 7 just fell down; FBI agents were attacked by the Oregon man standing in the snow with his hands up and forced to kill him; no knock SWAT raids at wrong apartments, choke holds, and boots on necks where people who are killed are justifiable police errors; trillions of dollars of laundered drug money and the manipulation of securities and commodities by TBTF banks is just business; censorship of Conservatives is Patriotic; and Harpy will go prison.
Rhs jr.- That list certainly reflects someone who has done his due diligence in finding the truth that lies hidden behind an entire opaque litany of obvious obfuscations and deceit put forth to keep the average American ignorant, misinformed and hopeful that soon they will see justice done, which will never happen as long as feature film being shown on the theater marquis is the Creatures from the Black Lagoon.
Since it is obvious you are a fellow truth seeker, tell it, over and over, even shout it from the rooftops, time is running out.
You forgot black is beautiful & I wont cum in your mouth.
But Bill didn’t mean to, did he?
Go back 120 years “Remember the Maine”. We picked up some island real estate with that one.
So who voted this down? Some sites show the “owner” of the thumbs (up or down)
“Sucking chest wound’. I love it.
A fun daydream today is Pelosi gets her 25th amendment change and loses the house. Even better if Biden manages to get the nod. HAHAHA
I was wondering why Pelosi would try something as lame as invoking the 25th Amendment, which has less chance then their failed impeachment attempt. For a lot of Democrats, this is an existential battle. There was that little fish, Kevin Klinesmith, who recently pleaded guilty to altering emails regarding the Carter Page surveillance warrant, and now this Archer is facing serious time in lock-up. People who rant about how Barr and and Durham are dogging it don’t understand how hard it is to make these cases. It took them long enough just to get the necessary documents needed for the prosecution, which were slow walked by various agencies hoping for a change of administration. They bagged a few smaller players, who hopefully will give up their superiors, and so it goes up the chain. Now, maybe Archer and Clinesmith are going to be stand-up guys and not talk, but maybe they are filling in holes for Durham and company right now. Like the Mafia, when a few guys start going to prison for a long time, suddenly the vow of omerta doesn’t seem like such a good idea. If Trump wins, there will be plenty of time to bring charges and see them through. If not,it all dies.
“Her hair is perfect.” <snicker>
I enjoy a good morning laugh to get the blood flowing. JK needs to take this show on the road.
Just a few more stats:
Over 190,000 sealed indictments.
$650 million renovation of Gitmo(for 70 raghead terrorists?).
Gitmo recently told to prepare for high-profile “guests” in near future.
1000’s of low level pedos busted. (Working up this food chain)
Attempts to discredit Q.
The list goes on and on….
We are entering the storm.
Nothing can stop what is coming.
