Yesterday Don Surber ran a fairly interesting post that began with a discussion of Zhou’s disastrous “voting rights” speech in Georgia—a speech so Baidan-esque that Zhou accomplished the seemingly impossible: embarrassing even many Dems.
"They seem to think that the rule of holes is some right wing conspiracy theory that they can ignore." Love it! Yep, these are the same people who ignore natural law and think they can change human nature. They have the intellectual maturity of two year olds but without the curiosity or any apparent capacity to learn.
I find myself in agreement with Pelosi and the Democrats. December 6 is the most consequential event that has ever happened to America, and it isn't only the 'insurrection' but everything to do with the election of Biden and its aftermath. So much has happened that they are holding on for dear life, like the management of a company that have committed numerous infractions in the hope that things will turn around and now risk real jail time, so every day new infractions must be added. When rising crime means that stores are forced to close because shoplifting is tolerated by the authorities people are being more than inconvenienced. Where do you buy what you need, including medicines? When even violent criminals are put back on the street without bail and not only citizens but even police are fearful of the consequences if they confront these criminals life is not safe. When supply problems delay deliveries of essentials everybody is affected. Inflation is real and growing, and the risk of an overpriced stock market crashing as never before is also real. You can start a war to deflect attention, but we are not the 'greatest generation' to fight it, but the turned off generation. Our 'woke' Generals are not capable of fighting a major war with their politically correct Army. They can only create another Afghanistan or Vietnam where in both cases the politicians turned a victory into defeat, only no brave and capable warriors will be at their disposition. Those in Washington may just be capable of hanging on to power, making America into a very real '1984', a Big Brother ruling class and a much larger population of 'Proles', each ignoring one another pretty much.
An article in The New York Times by Michael D. Shear on Jan. 9, 2022 paints a rosy picture of Biden's accomplishments, and is a serious disconnect from what I see as reality. If this reflects a serious assessment of our current situation and not an exercise in creative writing we really are two Americas.
Dementia Joe had two aneurysms before age 60—that we know—of that required brain surgery, he’s fallen while walking up the Air Force One stairs, and broken his ankle “playing with his dog,” in the last year.
Anyone watching the guy, can tell he’s on a steady drug regimen of anti-dementia medications and powerful stimulants. Probably a Namenda/Adderral cocktail.
It can’t be that hard for the Dems to rub him out when the time comes—after the November midterms if they can’t get rid of Harris so she won’t be leading the Party at that time.
Anyway, that’s what I have always assumed to be their plan/timeline, but they must be freaking at Harris’ poll numbers or the thought that McConnell refuses to hold a vote on a VP appointment—the XXVth Amendment requires both houses to approve a VP nominee.
I know what I’d do if I were Comrade K. At that point it’s a question of how good a poker player Harris is. Threaten to resign if Mitch McConnell won’t hold a vote on a VP during the lame duck, which would make Nancy Pelosi President of the United States.
In purely political terms Pelosi would be as big a disaster as POTUS as Zhou or Kama Sutra. KS threatening to resign to make way for Pelosi would not, IMO, faze Mitch at all. If you don't believe me, check this out:
They’ve never had a plan. President Trump gave them a target they could unite against. Now they are stuck. Continuing to bash Trump seems wimpy and stupid, but they’ve nothing positive to sell to the voters. The border, where the flagrant invitation to the world’s grifters, diseased and criminal has flooded our neighborhoods. The economy that damages everyone, no matter their party. Covid - they really couldn’t do anything positive about that so they piled on doubtful shots, masks, lockdowns and mandates galore. We’re daily faced with a demented resident of the WH (at least sometimes) who is becoming a rabid madman. A shambles. What on earth will they find in this to sell to a weary voting populace?
Read somewhere today, perhaps American Thinker, that getting the U.S. into a shooting war is not off of the table when it comes to Brandon and his fellow travelers holding onto power; the thought process being the country would unite in time of war behind Brandon as with Bush II after 9-11.
I'm not buying it, but it does bring another variable to the table. Desperate politicians resort to desperate measures. Even the wife of a dementia addled politician...

She would start from that low point and quickly drop further. Meanwhile the Dem House would be thrown into chaotic infighting.

Only three years to go!
I will say it's ALMOST humbling to realize that the way I feel is how Dems and Never-Trumpers felt.
Almost.
Because the way I feel is due to the reality of a lawless and corrupt administration, whereas they were just scared of their shadows.

I agree--sounds like a triple bank shot.
