Normal Americans need to fix this lest 8/8 become "normal"
8/8/2022 is a bright line in our history
Never before have Americans witnessed the deliberate dishonor of a former President. On 8/8/2022 the Federal Bureau of Investigation effectively told the nation that their entire institution should be abolished.
“I was just following orders” was not a defense in the Nuremburg trials and it is not a defense now. Every single FBI agent that was told to go to Mar-A-Lago with guns drawn, to rifle through President Trump’s personal belongings while kicking his attorneys out of the house should have refused orders and resigned on the spot, rather than acquiesce to becoming Gestapo Storm Troopers for the Democrat Party.
This is beyond a disgrace. I watched in astonishment as multiple media outlets had brainless hosts cheering this “wonderful” event. They were all crowing in delight, celebrating one of the most vivid demonstrations of disdain for the rule of law and the banana republic weaponization of the organs of state against an American citizen for political purposes. Careful, kids! If the State feels free to insult and persecute a former President, just think what they will be willing to do to you.
January 6th: The Musical! is clearly not giving the Democrats the results they want, so the bitter Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who probably wears Supreme Court robes to bed, told the Head of the FBI, Christopher Wray - a man who refuses to say the fictional Steele Dossier was the fraudulent creation that it has long ago been proven to be - to send dozens of armed agents to invade a former President’s home.
In case you’ve lost track of this Third World Soviet-style insanity, the supposed “reason” for this raid was that numb nuts at the National Archives were all having a hissy fit because they thought the former President had not turned over all the documents relating to his Presidency.
Yup, you read that right. The entire world including our most dire enemies just watched in real time as FBI agents raided the home of a former President, looking for some Presidential records to be stored in the National Archives, while the Secret Service - who are sworn to protect the man - stood by and let them in. With bodyguards like these, who needs enemies? Prior to this police state Gestapo madness, the back and forth with Trump’s lawyers over the documents does not differ in any substantive way from the discussions the National Archivist has had with other Presidents after they have left office.
This nonsense was a fishing expedition. They are clearly looking for any pretense to take the light off the Biden Administration’s startlingly bad track record coming into the midterm elections, never mind the 2024 Presidential Election. Their last hope is to find some way - any way - to disqualify Trump from running again.
Ironically, their actions have not only made his running a near certainty, but so too his victory. Had they just ignored the man, it would have been far more likely for another, younger Republican to win the nomination. But Trump is the itch they cannot stop scratching; hell, the free press coverage they showered on him in 2016 is why he won the first time. They just cannot get it through their echo chamber heads that the majority of Americans think the bloviating teeth-whitened teleprompter jockeys are propaganda shouters too dumb to know they’re being used by far richer, far more powerful people to keep the sheeple in line.
So the more they attack Trump, the greater he seems in people’s eyes. Trump himself put it beautifully when he said, “They’re coming for you, not me. I’m just standing in the way.” As of 8/8, that became completely true, whether or not it was before.
Until 8/8, I was not excited by the idea of Trump running for President in 2024. Right now, I can think of nothing better. This evil crap cannot be rewarded. I am against all these ancient Boomers running anything anymore, so I have a list of candidates much younger and better choices, but however the GOP sorts itself out, the entire country cannot let this banana republic bullshit continue.
Here is a more chilling thought experiment for you: Let’s say the Democrats manage to so badly mangle our “legal system” that they convict Trump on some minor technicality because they hold the trial in 92% Democrat Washington, DC. They then declare that he is not eligible to run for President, but then the GOP declares that this bullshit witch-hunt was not valid, and they nominate him anyway.
What then?
Before this country goes off the rails, normal Americans need to get more involved. Democrat or Republican and anyone else - you need to call and write your Representatives and Senators to tell them this needs to stop.
I don’t know if the FBI can ever be reformed. What has changed since Hoover sicced his agents on Martin Luther King, Jr., or more recently that scumbag Peter Strzok tried to collude with his mistress to prevent a duly elected President from taking office by playing along with the fabricated “Russian Collusion” Hoax? In case you’ve forgotten this taxpayer funded parasite, here he is lying to Congress:
Shame on every single agent that participated in this disgusting raid which breached perhaps the last decorous norm holding this country together. Shame on anyone who approved it and shame on anyone who applauded this. You’re especially an idiot if you hate Donald Trump because this madness just made his chances of reelection far more likely.
The only way this nation pulls back from a very bad brink is for rational Americans to quit being apathetic. These clowns - of all political stripes - are only in it for themselves. There are many decent people in government, but their actions and beliefs are drowned out by the hyperactive lunatics. So long as we just sit back as mere spectators to this insanity, nothing will change. Get involved in local and federal politics. This is your government if you are active; it’s their plaything if you don’t.
Being actively involved in politics is like cleaning the toilet - unpleasant in short bursts, but so much worse long term if you don’t.
