Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
“Reading all the 2016 warnings from the Normalcy Guardians and self-professed Democracy Protectors about how there’s literally nothing more corrupt or dangerous than craving the prosecution of your political opponent — especially for trivial crimes — is really quite something.” — Glenn Greenwald
The New York Times enjoyed its long-delayed tantric Trumpgasm so much today that it rolled out the full-page banner headline format usually reserved for the commencement of world wars. (They took the banner down before seven o’clock this morning.) For many of the cat-ladies employed as “reporters” at the once-august paper, it was the first Trumpgasm they’ve ever experienced in a lifetime of emotional displacement, over-eating, and furious knitting of pink polyester hats for the crusade to root out patriarchal wickedness.
This fulfillment of a years-long psychodrama, starring the feared and loathed occult persona of a gold-coiffed “Daddy” figure who once presided in the political household, came at the hands of dragon-slayer Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, archetype of the many long-oppressed victims worked to death in the bilges of our slave ship of state — now turned righteous Woke deliverer of cosmic vengeance!
This, of course, is brought to you by the party of hoaxes, flimflams, and mandated death shots, so it’s amusing here on the sidelines to see The Times’s op-ed writers squirm with post-coital pleasure underneath the full-page Trumpgasmic headline. The lead editorial declares: “Even Donald Trump Should Be Held Accountable”— overlooking the utter absence of accountability that has been the norm in every recent insult to the nation’s dignity from wholesale and repeat election fraud, to six years of lawless depravity in the FBI, to overt support of Antifa and BLM street havoc, to the forced, deceitful administration of deadly “vaccines.”
“How a President’s Arrest Can Strengthen a Democracy,” honorary cat-lady Nicholas Kristoff opined, repeating the bad-faith trope that his legions of Wokery have an interest in political rectitude — when, in fact, they are solely preoccupied with coercing, censoring, cancelling, persecuting, punishing, and defenestrating anyone who objects to their grifts and hustles. “Only love and a leap of faith can break through distrust. That is why a credible form of patriotism is so important right now,” explained The Times’s official Superintendent of Platitudes, David Brooks, to soothe consciences grated by this loutish gambit to shove a political adversary off the game board in advance of an election. “Joe Biden may not be your cup of tea,” Mr. Brooks summed up his civics lesson, “but he’s restored sanity, effectiveness and decency to the White House.”
Oh, really? That will surely come as news to casual observers who are watching the “Joe Biden” wrecking crew in wonder and nausea as they dismantle every institution and undermine every norm in American life. A more credible form of patriotism would be, say, a general strike against this cabal of degenerates, serving to remind them that at least half of the public still cares about the Constitution, the rule of law, and actual decency (not a depraved simulacrum of it). Otherwise, why would “Joe Biden’s” DOJ lock-up scores of Jan 6 protesters in the DC Jail for years on misdemeanor charges without taking them to law? Why does the “Joe Biden” State Department persist in destroying Ukraine and pounding billions in taxpayer money into the place to accomplish it? Why has the “Joe Biden” regime adopted the drag queen as its mascot? What part of all that evinces “sanity, effectiveness and decency?”
It’s a little early to assess the knock-on effects of the Left’s ecstatic Trumpgasm. A common theme flying across the Web is that Alvin Bragg’s jerry-rigged case will only make a martyr of Mr. Trump, neatly illustrating and personifying the government’s apparent war against its own citizens — making it clear that they will stop at nothing and no one to enforce the corrupt bureaucracy’s will against the public — and that the net result will be to ensure Mr. Trump’s reelection in 2024.
This comes at a time when that government — the “Joe Biden” regime — presides over the collapse of what’s left of America’s economy, the crack-up of the banking system, and the shocking loss of our country’s influence in the geo-political arena. All of that is manifesting as increased general hardship across the US population: a whole lot of citizens going broke, going hungry, losing their property and chattels to bankruptcy, losing their children to Woke-induced psychopathology, and — the final insult — being subjected to a medical racketeering operation that ruins and murders them when they get sick.
The Party of Chaos looks pretty smugly secure for the moment. If Alvin Bragg’s flimsy case in New York falls apart, as many expect, they have grand juries lined up against Mr. Trump in other jurisdictions, waiting patiently to take their turns at the political assassination of this supposed “threat to our democracy.” Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared yesterday that Mr. Trump “has the right to prove his innocence.” She apparently forgot how our legal system works, which is that defendants are presumed innocent and it’s the government’s task to prove someone guilty.
As to qualifications to be president, the Constitution simply states: a presidential candidate must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and 35 years of age or older. There is no language in Article II that might legally prevent someone convicted of a crime, fairly or otherwise, from running for the job.

The Trump arrest is just a distraction from the Restrict Act, AKA the Patriot Act part 2
G.O.P. snakes will be on all the talking head shows wailing about how wrong the indictment is ….. and then will do , nothing.
I can only handle but a few minutes of any of the old talking heads, Levin, Beck, use to Prager, Elder etc. They all represent one big disappointing letdown known as the epic fail of the GOP.
If nothing else I’ve come to accept the fact with political man nothing improves in the mortal sense. No one is perfect. Correct. Still epic fail.
Washington is going to be full of people protesting for Trans Rights, and for Trump. This should be quite the show. Nobody cares about Our rights and freedoms. They only care about their own perspective. And how to force it on everyone. Everyone is now Guilty unless the mob thinks otherwise. Many Lynch mobs/Witch hunts put out their torches and went home when faced with facts back in the day. /s
This is how the republic is lost. Biden Fiddled while selfish mislead citizens burn it to the ground. The US and A is now a Banana Republic and everyone is a lynch mob.
Trans Day of Rage has been canceled. Oh darn……..
Babble- It’s our turn in the barrel, but me thinks there are way more folks like us than not. A poll out this week said 75% of respondents said they identify as PATRIOTIC Americans. Ain’t that somethin’ ?
Cancelled. Yes. But people are walking around with all sorts of rage and derangement syndromes. Basically everyone has a distorted view of reality. So that makes everywhere everyday a place to show ones Rage. Individuals think they need to try, prosecute and carry out punishment on their own. Become Your Own Lynch Mob. And I don’t believe polls. Lots of things are “Patriotic”. Doesn’t make it right. I heard from folks here all the time. “We knew they were not actually burning babies but it would be UnPatriotic to say so.”
How, exactly, do you cancel “rage”? Because you could patent the process and be a billionaire overnite.
My point being, either the rage ain’t real or it ain’t bein’ “cancelled”.
Not pointing fingers, yet, it seems u are really getting “out there” with the comment.
Ok…/s
“Polls”, Trump 54% , DeSantis whatever, 24%? , FAUX reports. Someone should ask Hannity about the LGBT Gala down there in Florida.
It does not matter supposedly yet WHO can support Mr. Trump on gay liberation “issues”?
A little bit early here , I guess, I mean once a TrumPet always a TrumPet. Even if one could read minds , my thoughts for this area , the closer to November the more TrumpTard flags. This is Texas right here.
Queers and steers.
They are in and around Roanoke , Texas.
Forgot Hannity, Unforgiven. Honestly what a whatever barring Ron Paul from a GOP primary debate, long ago, New Hampshire. His excuse may well be he was obeying his masters.
They are toast…
Beck was like way out ahead of his time as I remember , and has actually been proven to have been correct on a lot ?
…maybe. Ask him why he participated in setting up Debra Medina , Texas gubernatorial candidate in 2010, as a 911 “Truther”. He might say he does not remember. Ah , typical of bought and paid for stool pigeons. That was 2010. Do you believe 911? Me, I think the jury is still out on that , just as Debra mentioned.
I don’t think so. Unless they want him in office. 2024 is a long ways off and a lot can happen in the next 18 months. Including the possibility that there will be no election in 2024.
W H keeps trotting out spokespeople warning of a cyber attack. Things will intensify, and they will pull the plug. Putin and Xi will be blamed and get the daily ” 2 minutes of hate ” on all media. Then, they will offer ‘ solutions ‘ like digital passports, CBDC and ‘ safety lockdowns .’
What’s the date on the press briefing? Not that it matters, they talk about this quite frequently. Just curious.
Comments under the clip suggest it was recent
……and expect a CIA driven “cyberattack” in 3…2…1
Klause Schwab and the WEF said it will make cov-19 look mild.
Could it be the NSA in a practice run gone amok?
It was already war-gamed like Covid was with EVENT 201
Look up ‘ Cyber Polygon ‘
The “solution” is WAR. It always is when the world goes bankrupt.
However defense industries do quite well under such circumstances.
Hola, Auntie.
They’re stuffing the turkey now but they’ll be eating feathers soon.
“such circumstances” aren’t sustainable when the gloves come off and they will when the first RF city is attacked by aircraft from outside RF airspace.
Our defense industries will be monkey-hammered at hypersonic speed and our carriers won’t be launching any more jets. They’ll be bubble factories on the bottom of the sea.
Happy to help. AP.
Arch-AH was arrested and went to prison . The difference here is Heavy D participated in a mass genocide BEFORE he becomes a dictator. They actually changed up the script this time. Lucky us.
I just hope they don’t give him extra sheets in his cell like Epstein.
If Trump surrenders to custody, he’s a dead man…DeSantis has said he will not extradite….
Well done using Proton 🢁
Or the possibility that Orange Jesus dies before then. Stranger…and worse…things have happened.
I for one welcome that possibility.
Sure, if it sparks an explosion of rebellion against DC Tyranny.
Otherwise, it’s a sign of the worse things, evaaah, on our doorstep.
I wasn’t planning on voting for president in 2024, but I do have a long-standing personal resolution that any candidate who’s been indicted gets my vote.
Then there is the old “anyone who can drive them that crazy” should get your support. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if only temporarily.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if only temporarily.”
…HOW he got elected the 1st. time. NOT old what’s her name.
1st time EVER i voted against someone. Again, ONLY reason i voted for him the 2nd time? Actual Fear, the OBVIOUS ‘Direction’. Didn’t turn out so well, did it?
DONE. VOTING.
We-are-here, well on the way to SOMETHING. (Fill in the blank as You ‘see’ fit)
Behind me now.
donnie has been part-n-parcel All Along. Hard To admit to myself. You do You, of course. Free Will.
By all means, Vote. Harder.
No one behind the clotshot is a friend. Ever.
No one with the power to stop the invasion of our country who doesn’t use it is a friend. Ever.
No one who puts jews before whites is a friend. Ever.
Someone should begin a national write-in campaign for ’24.
RE: This, of course, is brought to you by the party of hoaxes, flimflams, and mandated death shots
Wait. Wasn’t this Trump’s doing? Words from his own mouth and everything?
Actually No, Not defending Trump, but he never mandated the shot. That was “joey the hustler biden”.
“Actually No, Not defending Trump,…”
Perhaps Trump should get his due process ” Later ” as he suggested for others. Oh the irony.
“take the guns first”.
What is lesser of evil about that? No guns the peeps cannot defend themselves against Biden OR Trump for that matter.
Well I’m looking forward to the summer of violence that’s coming.
“Well I’m looking forward to the summer of violence that’s coming.”
I think that’s summer of 2024. All black male fentanyl addicts should try their best to avoid passing any counterfeit $20’s from about May 1 through July 31, 2024. Maybe even hold off until after the election, if at all possible.
I wish it would hurry up.
Be careful what you wish for.
I fervently wish and dream and pray for the necessary to happen. That does not involve comfort or normalcy or survival. Summers of violence is child’s play.
This is the culmination of the SOROS supported Clinton and Obama deception along with the WEF , NWO and every implanted treasonous woke agenda leftist elected , appointed or hired working in government !
From local school boards and county/city councils to state legislators and of course the asshole of America Washington DC impacted with cowardly turds !
It’s time for an enema of biblical proportions !
Trump love him or hate him he was the monkey wrench tossed into the leftist gears and in general people
supported that !
Naturally the woke leftist and the pearl clutching cat ladies along with the LBGQT miscreants could not digest a dose of reality shattering their already failing dream of a bogus reality !
The nation is in severe disrepair and the woke fools blame those who attempted to stop their mission of hate and destruction for their absolute failures at everything
Remember the crowd after President Trump are the same people that wanted all who declined to be forced or coerced into taking the Covid phony vaccines locked up and bankrupted all based on lies !
Fact is this leftist crowd hates average Americans and see them as something to be used up and thrown away like a Dixie Cup
empirically subjective, of course.

Different words depending how ya see it, but for certain, the ‘trough’ is not Deep enough.
This should be the theme for the thoroughly corrupt Banana Republic retarded shit-show that is the USSA:
As far as the Grey Whore is concerned — it is Pravda for the Cloud People. WHen The Upper East Side, Central Park West and Gramercy Park are plunged into darkness and the youts and ferals are out and about performing ancient blood rituals, then will the Libtards understand that all their money and political power evaporated faster than spit on an Arizona blacktop in July.
That was very Mark Twainish Auntie…… +1000.
Thank you for the undeserved high compliment, BL. Auntie is a great admirer of Sam Langhorne C.
I’m a great admirer of Foghorn Leghorn. Does that count?
It sho nuff do (-dah do-dah.)
When those same assclowns attempt to flee it would be so appropriate to block the bridges out of Gotham and watch them get pulled back and torn apart by their feral pets like a guy getting sucked into the Zombie horde in the sci-fi movies and shows.
A Given, no matter what. Question of those fleeing via helicopter, boat, whateva.
MANY of Them? Mostly 1 foot outta the door already. if not already actually in places like NZ, for instance.
Living in Arizona, I can testify that the spit evaporating is indeed observably of great rapidity.
Great call Aunt Acid
? Very well put .
A wee bit of ultra-violence that gets April off on the right foot (as it were). Instructive also on how to handle adversaries; Auntie especially likes the spear treatments.
I love Kunstler on Friday mornings. This one was great. Have a good weekend everyone. Really though, you are preparing aren’t you?
And they didn’t bother with a back ground check before hand ? And let him be President with no pre screening ? Don’t know why he drives them crazy or if it’s just a script.
Just more theater to provide a distraction from other events and motivate the Trumptards to give more money. The libtards are in ecstasy right now that “the walls are closing in”, as they have been repeating endlessly since 2017, but nothing will become of this. His indictment will be tied up indefinitely in the courts, and he will not go to jail. It will probably strengthen his campaign for 2024.
Did Donald ever say a damn thing about gold?
Remembering when Kunster was a flaming lefty Obama voter & I would usually skip over his articles much like PCR’s (but for a different reason). I wonder who changed his mind? Hats off to whoever it was.
Where else would we get such wordplay except for maybe Jim Goad.
“… it was the first Trumpgasm they’ve ever experienced in a lifetime of emotional displacement, over-eating, and furious knitting of pink polyester hats for the crusade to root out patriarchal wickedness.”
Back when I first came across JHK on the 24 Hour Gold site, I usually was not in agreement with him yet it was always worth reading simply because of his outstanding writing style. Now that he has swung around to my views on things he is simply that much more enjoyable a read.
I liked his book.a world made by hand jobs.
I’ll just leave this here.

The fbi and ntsb don’t want any competition sabotaging our country.
“The fbi and ntsb don’t want any competition sabotaging our country.”
Is there an echo in here?
Shoulda/Coulda (Woulda, IF not in a hurry/had a minute ta Think about it for relevance/clarity) added china, poot’n, ANY ‘world leader’/govt., Etc.
“The fbi and ntsb don’t want any competition sabotaging our country.”
‘Seeing’ things a little differently these days. Just my 2¢.
I still think it was all the little brain washed leftist anarchist pricks ( antifa)that we’re setting fires the up and down the west coast a few years back when the whole place seemed like it was practically on fire .And they were definitely on “someones” payroll . Its related ,at least in my opinion . Some we’re actually caught .
I saw something today that appeared to say the government has been trying to deport the thousands of military age males from China and China is refusing to take them.
They have to be up to no good because Chinese can get tourist visas fairly routinely.
bullspit
So one of them could use an acetylene torch? Or cut off grinder?? wowsers
The best way to bring weapons from New Jersey to New York is by the path train from Hoboken little security …. Just saying.
The dreaded Tubes. TSA strip searches for all passengers by would be really a great improvement for safety’s sake. Masks and proof of vaxxination also. Can’t be too sure these days.
When you hear the ice cracking, but you’re a long way from shore.

Treehouse is a head – fake , or just dumb. They used to tell everyone the big boogeyman was ….. the Chamber of Commerce ‘ influence ‘.
Ignore the CFR and state dept. please.
Sundance is a better educated , more sophisticated alex jones type.
By the way , if you disagree on that comment site BANNED !!!!
drink the kool-aid , or else.
This is all theatre folks. First of all, the statute of limitations has expired on any alleged crime Trump may have committed. Second Trump is probably in on all of this because the one thing Trump values more than money is attention, and this is giving him the attention of the entire world. It is all just drama to distract the masses.
Yeah he’s in on it fucking imbecile.
Whoa there , this guy thinks he just see’s thru it all and we just don’t understand how enlightened he is eh ?” J Dog ” lol . A lot of it is theater, but it cant really ” all be theater ” . The shapes cast on the wall of the cave are representations of real things ?
…Subtle nuances, inference, (and punctuation) NOT my thing.
Didya mean?
“Yeah. he’s IN on IT. (he IS a) fucking imbecile”.
Enquiring minds wanna know.
This is all theatre folks.
Many of the actors have IMDb pages including Agent Orange.

For any one going to NY next week ,leave your cell phones at home ,do not use credit or debit cards ,wear plain clothes wear facial recognition defeating masks . Good luck.
No name, peeps here may never know who no name is. What it is, perhaps weird. It’s all about disguises. Behind the screen is easy. Just ask the Chas feller.
“It’s all about disguises.”
Via Paris , Tennessee. I had a lot of relatives at the Alamo you may not recognize.
WHY would ANYONE even want to ‘go there’?
Kunstler is the c*nt who told you that if you sucked Orange Man knob hard enough we would all be OK.
The Orange Man/WWF ConMan promoted the most evil swamp scum like Bill Barr , and Med_Nazi Fauci and Moncef Slaoui to Nazi dictators of the Depopulation World. This fact was swept under the rug by Kunstler and his Administrator.
Then he conned you into the BS that if you just voted HARDER in rigged elections, it would magically overcome the rigged Dominion machines and and the sellout whore RINO election supervisors, so that “good guys” would win.
Now he tells you that the omnipotent forces that run deep state will reform themselves if we just chant “We (powerless oppressed serfs) have had enough!”.
According to Kunstler the corrupt assh*les who got bailouts in 2001 2008 2020 and now in 2023 will reform themselves, and they will un-rig elections and they will magically prosecute themselves, , and own all their evil acts.
And he tells you that the 97% dumbed-down sheeple will suddenly become brave, smart warriors and “stop all of this”.
According compulsive happy lie peddler Kunstler, people “always” overturn this kind of tyranny.
Except for all of human history!.
Evil ran the show for THOUSANDS of years in Rome.
The Catholic cult ran an evil pagan inquisition shit hole for THOUSANDS of years.
Even the compulsively self-destructive Soviet Empire ran for the better bar of of a century.
The evil child-molesting TRANS cult has just gotten started – but it already controls the US the EU and the satanic 5- Eyes countries.
Klaus Schwab and his 4th Reich band of Nazis is undeniably satanic and dangerous.
But nothing is more dangerous than the Kunstler’s of the world who tell you to walk into Hitler’s gas chamber because Hitler is weak and will reform himself and his gas chambers are merely “a healthy sauna bath”.
BTW- Administrator – stop suckin Satan’s c*ck.
