The Conundrum

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“If a politician does a ‘favor’ for a crime boss, and the crime boss pays the politician’s wife, it’s still bribery. If the crime boss pays the politician’s crackhead son on account of the favor, it’s still bribery.” Jeff Childers, the Coffee & Covid blog

Just as a janky investment can turn catastrophically ruinous in the finance world, “Joe Biden” has transmuted from an asset to a liability for the Party of Chaos as we enter the season when things get real. Just weeks ago, the phantasm in the White House could do nothing wrong, despite doing absolutely everything wrong in the thirty-two months he’s haunted the Oval Office. But now, an odor of rot and sulfur trails his every bumbling misstep while his maunderings from the podium set off alarms in party HQ. What to do, indeed…?

As of five minutes ago, “JB” was still pretending to run for reelection, which, of course, was a bamboozle that only the Wokester rank-and-file, hoaxed into an epic psychotic rapture, might swallow. The “president’s” stage managers run a “campaign committee” on next-to-zero contributions, you see, but all it really does is send out millions of algo-concocted, drivel-filled emails five times a day to keep the big pretend going while the DC Blob desperately looks for a way out.

Ever since the fabled Laptop from Hell entered stage left, the un-raptured of the land have been exposed to gales of evidence that “Joe Biden” ran a family influence-peddling racket as veep, and that it likely has something to do with the extravagant mess spawned in Ukraine. The crude and lawless labors of the DOJ and the FBI to cover all that up have been failing lately as a harsh music of blown whistles ominously cleaves the dank night air over the Potomac swamp.

The coming House impeachment inquiry, with its extraordinary subpoena powers, can easily un-confuse these matters as Rep Comer (R-KY) goes after the Biden family bank records. The equation is pretty straightforward: Millions of dollars rattling around the coffers of “Joe” and Jill, and Jim and Frank, and the Biden kids and grand-kids divided by the low six-figure salaries of a senator and vice-president, times, say, the $20 to $50-million inflows of revenue (for no discernible services rendered) from Ukraine, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, and Gawd-knows how many other entities arguably hostile to the USA’s interests through Hunter Biden’s multitudinous shell companies. It’s called money-laundering.

Meanwhile, mirabile dictu, Special Counsel David Weiss goosed three counts of illegal gun possession against Hunter Biden out of a federal grand jury Thursday. Somehow, a loaded garbage barge of tax evasion charges that was last seen a few weeks ago steaming into Indictment Central happened to sail off into the Bermuda Triangle and vanish from the docket. Also in question: what about that “diversion agreement” sneakily embedded in the plea deal that blew up a month ago in Judge Maryellen Noreika’s courtroom? That little gem would have let Hunter B off the hook for any other past federal crime imputed in the many reams of evidence about Biden family moneygrubbing already made public. If the plea deal evaporated, did not the diversion agreement go up in a vapor with it? Hunter’s lawyers apparently say it’s still in force. How does that work?

More to the point, this exorbitant political psychodrama involving a criminally compromised head-of-state, who appears increasingly mentally incompetent, too, is taxing the Blob’s patience, disturbing the Wokesters’ consensus trance, and testing the DNC’s tactical playbook without any apparent good options at hand. Somebody ought to be whispering in “Joe Biden’s” ear that his services are no longer required, the performance is over, and it’s time to exit, stage right. But that, of course, leaves the Blob and the DNC with Kamala Harris, the cackling empty pants-suit, now fully evolved into an historic political joke. It’s not like they can even pretend run her for president in 2024.

Nor is there any realistic way to shove her offstage for a replacement. The appointed veep switcheroo gambit — shoehorning Gavin Newsom in there and then elevating him as Kamala quits — looks un-sellable. He’s turned California into a Hieronymus Bosch hellscape of flash-mob thievery, car-jacking, medical lunacy, and wildfire mismanagement. The videos of California mayhem play on social media 24/7. He’d never get confirmed by Congress. And who else is there on the DNC bench? Pete Buttigieg? (I’m sure….) Hillary? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha…!  They could stuff Barack Obama back in — the Constitution only prohibits a third elected term, not an appointment. Wouldn’t that be a nation-ending prank? (At least he could stop pretending to not already be secretly acting president.)

Figure out how to get Kamala ,who is an anchor baby by the by, disqualified and McCarthy is President. He’s a Democrat for all intents and purpose anyway. The Uniparty should be thrilled at such a prospect.

I find it interesting the JHK always seems to point to Barack Obama at the top of the pyramid for TPTB. I’m nobody, and all, but it feels like there might be (((someone))) higher in the ranks than BHO.

Timmy, I think you are onto something. Obama never struck me as a high-IQ type. He is more of a smooth-talking car salesman, the kind of person you would want as a puppet “running” the country.

My guess is that somewhere in the basement of the CIA is a small group calling the shots. But I wear a tin-foil hat so what do I know.

Best case scenario is Joe falls and hits his head and dies, has a wonderful televised state funeral, Kamala is a seat filler for the last year (first do no harm) and then the actual selection.

It’s time for Jacob Marley to pay a little midnight visit to Joe Biden and explain the facts of life to him. He will only be visited by two spirits; the Ghost of Christmas Future having taken a hard pass.

The coming House impeachment inquiry, with its extraordinary subpoena powers… I love the article but cannot tell if that line was sarcasm or not. The DOJ, FBI, CIA et al stiff the house subpoenas all the time with no consequence what ever. I do know the Republicans hold “mean hearings” that never accomplish a damned thing. In fact I consider Republicans saying they are going to hold hearings as high comedy and nothing else.

When you have to rely on the Dept. of Just Us to enforce contempt of CONgress complaints, you had better have an AG who is in the same party as you. Any questions, ask Eric Holder.

I have often said that if the North Koreans “accidently” let one missile go and it popped sunshine over New Rome ( I like that that name). Most Americans would probably forgive them if congress was in session and the white house was occupied at the time.

“Joe Biden has transmuted from an asset to a liability for the Party of Chaos as we enter the season when things get real.”

Joe Biden may be a liability for the Democrats, but he is not a liability for TPTB who selected him to win in 2020. He is still doing everything according to their plan, and in fact all of his (and his son’s) current troubles are part of that plan. In addition to providing a distraction from other events like the genocide in Maui, they are setting him up to lose in 2024 so that Trump can return in his role as the star of the political theater. Of course they don’t actually need his current troubles to cause him to lose, because they have perfected their election fraud such that they can select any winner they want. But in order to sell a Trump “win” to the sheeple, Biden’s current troubles will make his loss more plausible.

It occurred to me yesterday as I was watching RFK…They can’t let JB step down or they’ll have to allow a primary. Which they don’t want. I hope he DOESN’T go third party, if he does, I’m going to assume he’s in on it.

DNC hasn’t had a real primary for years, they pick the candidate (Hillary -2016, Biden – 2020) and make sure the vote totals match their pick. I see the RNC going the same way next time if Trump wins the nomination again this time. Not really sure who wants Trump out of this race more, the DNC or the RNC?
