Shocks to the System
Bill Totten
Trump is brushing off assassin's bullets like dirt off his shoulder, racking up a mile-long rap sheet of the fakest & gayest felonies known to man, chased through civil court by crazy-eyed harridans deranged by how horny he makes them. Joe Biden has jello for supper at 4 pm.

Dear Hitler, "Joe Biden" wrote his personal note of condolence Saturday night. So sorry to hear that you were inconvenienced by loud noises in Pennsylvania, where I grew up in the black church. Chris Wray tells me that fine people may be behind it. Will keep you in the loop. Get well soon!
Here's some more consolation: The New York Times reports this morning that the FBI is looking into the attempt on Mr Trump's life as "possible domestic terrorism". One must ask: Are they trying to shed new light on this event, or just blowing more smoke up America's ass - because that has been the FBI's specialty for at least the past eight years. We'll know if they take the definitive step of labeling the act a "hate crime".
The weakness of narrative-tweaking is beginning to show. The amazing part is that only the elite thinking class of Americans fell for it, exactly the demographic that hangs on every word in The New York Times. The Deplorables out there in Fly Over Land delivering Froot Loops to the Piggliggly and driving forklifts around the Amazon warehouse apparently never bought the narrative bullshit generated by the Media-Blob Industrial Complex. You'd hate to suppose that thinking is overrated. Or is it just a certain kind of thinking?
Try as you might to locate some malign, overweening, scheming cabal behind all the trips laid on our country, the truth is probably much simpler: set out on a journey defined by one lie, and then tell a lie to cover the first lie, and then another, and pretty soon you're lying all over the place about everything until reality gets obliterated. This is exactly what started in 2016 when Hillary Clinton sought to cover up her email and private server scandal with the Russia collusion hoax.
Have you forgotten how entrenched the FBI, CIA, and other agencies dug themselves in on that? It began as dumb-ass insinuation that Donald Trump was a Russian agent, but the FBI turned itself into fantasy factory when they ran with the story. They manufactured one sub-plot after another, most of it comically absurd, like the entrapment of General Flynn for having a conversation with the Russian ambassador - as if foreign countries send ambassadors here for some other purpose than communicating with our government officials. Tell me, you Harvard graduates who devour The New York Times every morning with your turmeric and wheat-grass detox smoothies: Should an incoming White House National Security Advisor not speak with envoys from other lands?
So, following the election of 2016, scores of government officials from Barack Obama and Joe Biden on down set out to wreck Mr Trump's turn in office, and ran one hoax after another to disable and dislodge him, and each hoax was a battery of lies begetting more lies. The style of thinking behind all that is called unprincipled. Many of these lies entailed crimes, some of them gigantic frauds perpetrated on the citizenry such as the ballot-stuffing operation that jammed "Joe Biden" into office - and which you were not permitted to speak of on penalty of cancellation and prosecution.
By 2020, "Joe Biden" had racked up enough bribes from foreign lands that he was susceptible to blackmail and thus to manipulation. That his mind was failing through his entire term only made that easier. Both "Joe Biden" and the Neocon gang at State and the CIA were implicated in a web of crimes in Ukraine, and war there was one way to cover all of it up, so they made sure that war happened. The lies and hoaxes continued to multiply, accompanied by huge, destructive pranks - the George Floyd riots, the drag queens in the kiddie classrooms, the wide-open border, the FBI-instigated J-6 riot - and the Democratic Party was embroidered in that whole tapestry of degenerate politics along with the Deep State blob.
In short, the Democratic Party appears to be guilty of programmatic treason against the people of the United States. They know that a reckoning awaits if Mr Trump manages to return to office. They've known it for years. But two recent Supreme Court decisions really amped up their fears: 1) Trump v the United States establishes presidential immunity from prosecution for acts involving his core constitutional duties; and 2) Loper Bright v Raimondo establishes that the federal bureaucracy can no longer rule over citizens unchecked by the courts. Both of these would make it much easier for a President Trump to disassemble the Deep State. And of course, that may lead to the investigation and prosecution of Deep State personae who abused their positions - possibly even prison ... a discomfiting prospect.
The Democratic Party's cover got blown on June 27th when Joe Biden had to go live in a debate and displayed his mental incompetency for all to see. That shock to the system forced a scramble to replace "JB" pretty late in the election cycle, since now just enough voters may be indisposed to re-electing an obvious human wreck. But the switcheroo effort seems to have lost traction. And the party may have muffed its blackmail leverage over "Joe Biden". After all, his briberies are all well-cataloged by the House Oversight Committee, including the vast bank records of the many shell companies set up to receive the bribe money.
Is it possible, though, that "Joe Biden" holds blackmail material over his party confederates? After all, he's still president. He has access to things you'd never dream of and, demented as he is, he has plenty of help close at hand from Hunter, Dr Jill, and the Lawfare posse for sorting it out. He probably knows a thing or two about his old partner Barack Obama, too, that would make some folks uncomfortable. So, looks like "JB" is fixing to hang in there as his party's nominee, and whoever doesn't like it can go suck an egg.
After the stunning events of Saturday evening, it also looks like candidate "Joe Biden" would go down in flames against Donald Trump on November 5, stuffed drop-boxes and all. Not a few Democratic Party bigshots have already made noises about leaving the country if that happens, possibly to nations lacking extradition treaties with the USA. Many others must be gobbling Xanax like Tic Tacs now that Donald Trump has survived the ultimate affront to his existence. You know the old nugget of wisdom: If you come at the king, you better not miss. Ooops.
