Jim Rickards isn’t the only person saying this, but his two tweets (I conflated them) put it pithily:

Looks like we've found the smoking gun on the Biden crime family. Looks like Biden knows it too.
FBI file shows foreigner paid Biden in ‘criminal scheme’ to trade money for policy
The FBI has a report detailing a scheme for then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden to accept money in exchange for making policy decisions on behalf of a "foreign national," two senior Republicans said Wednesday.
Biden's too feeble-minded to be President and Kamala's too dumb. So, it looks like the fix is in. Reveal the criminal case against Biden, run him off the road, give Harris a plum job, and pave the way for Michelle. We'll know soon enough.
What does this tell us? Do the Dems really believe 2016 was the last election that didn’t go according to their script? Do they really believe that presidential elections are like grand juries and indictments? Are they right? If they are right that will mean that four disastrous years—war, economy, culture, constitutional collapse, you name it—make no difference.
Perhaps Zhou was just establishing a bargaining position when he said he'd 'run' again.
G' May-Day Mark and all,
Interesting to me is in your conclusion framing what is the 'state of our dis-union': "Do the Dems really believe 2016 was the last election that didn’t go according to their script? Do they really believe that presidential elections are like grand juries and indictments? Are they right? If they are right that will mean that four disastrous years—war, economy, culture, constitutional collapse, you name it—make no difference."
I'd submit this "belief" emanates from the 2009-2017 years & Obama's success at, [as the not-so notable publication's headline]: 'we are all socialists now' connotates conversion/destruction of that Constitution you reference as collapsed. That undesirable interruption of President Trump aside...
I agree, BTW, that the foundation of this Country in the Declaration of Independence and said Constitution has significantly been undermined, if not yet collapsed. {Sadly I agree, I'll add}.
While much foundation of this demise goes back decades, the success of Obama's terrorist reign is seen across many fronts, from this debacle in the Ukraine but also in more common, basic and 'taken for granted' life-functions such as our medical care system. Now it's a Corporate-Medical provision system known as 'Obamacare' (no thanks to Arizona Republican John McCain). I live in a pretty 'Red' state: but of 5 doctor appointments I've had this year, one - ONE - was with an actual PhD Doctor. *PAs, NAs and clinical nurses are wonderfully intended care-givers. Yet I sit here now dedicated to finding 'Alternate-Care' providers due to the abject failures of these corporate medical-care operatives.
Sorry for the digression, but Mark, your list of Disasters (in 27 months thus far and including inflation likely exceeding the previous 10 years) includes a much broader array of failures and failing agencies and programs that once were World-renowned hallmarks. (How did we so rapidly forget universality of the socialist program failures...? Canadians were famous for seeking important medical care in the US as their waiting lists were kept shorter more by the passing away of listees rather than illness resolution. A model emulated by our very own VA system, I'd note).
And Biden got 81 million votes; there are now 15%+ Female homosexual/bi-sexual/(sorry, I forget the current politically correct term) when but a decade ago an approximately 3% number had been an historical fact; seemingly all things weird rule the news; and on, and on. I really must look for more positive news to dwell on, it appears.
I think my problem lays is exactly what you presented today - this bizarre set of current circumstances apparently make no difference. Not as long as the Social-Network internet feed continues into all those smart-phones that absorb the populace's attention... I do offer all my best regards (*while apologizing for sharing my negativity!). (WrH)
