Yuck it up, you morons who think it’s cool to try to frame political opponents because your mug shots are coming soon enough. And maybe not just mugshots. You’ve genuinely screwed yourselves. You can’t control what you have unleashed. And you’re celebrating. You shouldn’t.
I know, I know, you can’t imagine that your decision to take out your political opponents by throwing them in jail will bite you in the Asa. But it will. Hard. And you ought to hope it’s only mug shots. I hope it’s only mug shots, not for your sake, but for my country’s sake. You’ve screwed up my country, and it’s not clear that the wounds you caused are not mortal. This is now a country where we lock up political opponents. I just want to get that out there again, and I want you to understand what has changed. This is now a country where we lock up political opponents. And it’s inevitable that very soon, you’re going to realize that you are some people’s political opponents too.
Some people ask me my legal opinion of these frame jobs masquerading as criminal cases. Well, I have no legal opinion of them because these have nothing to do with the law. When not invented out of whole cloth, they consist of inapplicable statutes stretched tighter than Nancy Pelosi’s lifted and Botoxed face to try to encompass perfectly legal activities by people whose real crime is opposing the ruling class. And the accused aggravated their crimes by having succeeded for a time.
Do you think these laws only go one way? Do you think this precedent can’t be used right back against you and yours? There are a lot of state attorney generals and district attorneys out there in red states, and they are going through their statute books. Conservatives, who tend to be doomers, are fretting because none of these red officials have acted yet. But they will act, all in good time. First, slow, then all at once. That is inevitable. That is the logic of this scenario. You see, all the incentives are to prosecute Democrats in red enclaves for things Democrats did far away. The first red AG or DA who does it is going to be a superstar. And then all the others are going to have to follow along lest they be left behind. Some of them won’t want to. Some of them may have some residual attachment to the law as we once knew it. But their red voters do not, and in the words of Rush – the Canadian band, not the radio legend – these Republican officials must conform or be cast out.
What they do in retaliation will have the appearance of law but not the substance. In that way, these prosecutions will be exactly like the ones Trump is currently experiencing. They will echo the nonsense of the Trump indictments. Perhaps I will outline it in more detail in a future column, but suffice it to say that when Anthony Fauci and dozens of other bureaucrats are indicted under Missouri’s RICO law based on a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the citizens of the Show-Me State via their massive COVID fraud, the indicted ones are really going to hope that the aptly-named Fani – because of what she’s full of – Willis‘s ridiculous indictments have already been tossed out by the federal courts.
Oh, this isn’t right or good or anything I wanted. In fact, I have columns going back years warning you about the new rules you decided to play by. But you didn’t listen. It was inconvenient. It was hard actually having to convince lesser people to give you power, so you’ve decided to steal it. Now, of course, you don’t put it that way. You don’t tell yourself that you’re a fascist. But you are. No, you tell yourself this is a necessary exception. You imagine that Donald Trump is some sort of particular case and that after you frame him, we’re just going to go back to business as usual. You really are stupid, or you think we are. Ron DeSantis will be the next special case because he’s practically Hitler, too. Next, Nikki Haley will be Hitler. Then Tim Scott will need to be indicted to keep him from invading Poland.
You’re not putting this genie back in the bottle. Right now, you don’t want it back in the bottle. You think you’ve stumbled on a shortcut to permanent power. You couldn’t just try to beat Trump in an unrigged election. You decided to toss the law out. And you’re too freaking dumb to realize that the only thing protecting you is the law that you just erased. There was a pretty famous movie about a pretty famous guy who you never learned about at the University of College, where you got your degree in Marxist interpretive dance. He had something pretty insightful to say about the law and its purpose and why you need to uphold it.
But the law got in the way of what you really wanted, so you tossed it out, and now there is no law, and there’s nothing for you to hide behind. So, who protects you? I mean, you don’t have guns. You don’t have training. You can’t even do a push-up. There’s just power now, and all you have is the institutional power that is backed up and enforced mainly by, well, people like the ones you want to oppress. And the guys who Oliver Anthony has been talking about who wear a uniform or carry a badge might kill for you and might die for you for a little while. Still, when you send them to butcher their own brothers and sisters, they’re probably going to rethink the direction they’re shooting.
Oh, that’s crazy talk, you say. All through history, no ruling class that tried to clamp down on the masses has ever been overthrown and its members punished. There was nothing about that in the 1619 stuff you learned about in commie school. The law is still going to protect you, and the institutions will still protect you because they’ll still function because you haven’t torn their guts out. Oh, wait, you have.
A reckoning is coming, and you’re too dumb to know it. I guess it’ll be a surprise. You’ll look up and cry that what’s about to happen to you is wrong and that it’s illegal. But I don’t think the enemy you created is going to care very much.
So be it.
Let me get this out of the way now…
I told you so.
David Mu says
I keep saying this to my resident leftist, that this rage against Donald Trump will result in him back in the White House, but I might as well say it in koine Greek for this little rage machine. But, yes – the leftist has little or no understanding of what they are doing to this country.
GARRETT FULTON says
Man, bud. I sure hope your resident leftist doesn’t live next door.
David Mu says
Actually, my resident leftist lives in the house with me. Mine is the story of watching 2016 come and go, and seeing the irrational in Trump derangement rise and thrive – on nearly a daily basis.
Remember – the leftist will destroy anything for that revolution. I am glad for working experience on loaded mental wards. You learn to hear – but not hear…
internalexile says
As King Theoden said of the Orcs in “The Lord of the Rings,” “How does one deal with such reckless hate”?
David Mu says
Actually, that is quite good question – not that this would ever cross his mind. I would think my leftist resident has very little awareness of who J. R. R. Tolkien was, and certainly does not at an level to even believe to have the means of discussion to consider such an statement.
As this problem continues to – have its being – I watch the behaviors and the rantings knowing that this too shall pass. But, not the underlying cause of the symptoms. There is nothing that can happen to me for my not ‘going along to get along’. That surely could be the case with many having to suffer the wrath of evil people. And yes, my resident leftist is an evil person. The root cause is being selfish and lazy while wanting to pose as grande and wonderful.
Thank G*d I have interests to keep me not focused on this rage machine, and a strong enough personality that is clearly understood to ‘not step on me’. And that is, I think something we all need to have for this reckless hate now so clearly in fashion with most leftists today.
For me – I know my resident leftist was once so far much better, but I also know (now), my resident leftist can not truly be trusted. And yes – I know the route I could take. Should way open, I will be moving on without my resident leftist. What we do with this leftist herd to stand against their will.
Scott Freitas says
I like Kurt, but he’s too optimistic in his political predictions, it seems. That’s what the past five years or so since I discovered him have taught me.
How can anyone think, pretend, for even one moment the Demoncrats won’t steal the 2024 election?
The main problem children for election fraud–Detroit, Philly, Madison, Phoenix, Atlanta–are still going to be the same problerm.
Giant counting stadiums inside which pallets of ballots with no verifiable chain of custody will still exist. They might even shut all 5 cities down at once again, in order to give themselves more time to cheat. Why not? Were they ever punished for doing so the first time?
Was anyone ever punished for kicking GOP observers out, throwing cardboard over all the windows, and then allowing ACLU democrats to count all the ballots?
We can go one and on, providing examples. No one was punished, nothing was changed.
It is a safe bet the Demoncrats would rather DIE than allow Trump to be elected. They will pull out all the stops, do whatever it takes. And they’ll still have all the same help from all the same millionaires, billionaires, big tech companies etc
“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Sure, we all should vote anyway. We have STATE elections to worry about. How much effort the Demoncrats put into stealing local and state races, i have no idea.
Everywhere they count the votes unsupervised (even if only for a few hours), smaller races could easily be stolen.
It’s just BALLOTS they need, after all.
Not voters.
Just ballots.
And they have ways of getting aaaaalll the ballots they need, in areas they control.
/shrug
I’ll still vote. We all should. Because if we don’t, we have a 100% chance of losing. so might as well TRY.
But no election reforms have been done to change anything we saw in 2020 inside those giant counting stadiums within the 5 major Demoncrat controlled cities I mentioned, in the battleground states.
Same old, same old.
><
Reuben Moore says
Yes. For all the reasons Kurt points out in the above piece, the left cannot allow themselves to lose power. They will lie, cheat, and steal. And they’ll murder if they have to. But they will not under any circumstances allow themselves to lose power. Until the right comes to understand this, and what it means they have to do to actually win, they will remain sidelined, censored, cancelled, and jailed. How long until people start disappearing in the night?
Until we on the right fully understand what we are facing, we’ll never defeat it.
Cat says
Already murdered, mass murdered with a bioweapon attack that at least some of them were involved in or knew about. The 2020 election year strategy=kill people, ruin economy, mass mail-in vote fraud.
Next, they used their media, social media, and schools, to indoctrinate children and harm them for life with medications and removal of body parts for no valid reason at all. Children! But given their standing ovations for late term/full term abortion, why am I surprised`?
Somewhere in hell, the WWII German Nazis are so jealous.
DC says
People will soon understand the horrible implications of your comment………which is 100% right.
jcr says
If there is ONE vote over the registered numbered of voters in a municipalty, all votes go in the garbage.
DO NOT dilute my vote though any cheats…
Don’t give any of this disenfranchisement crap any worth. Blacks are not stupid. They have learned how to receive all other municipal/ state/fed services. ALL Require ID.
Paper ballots. HAND counted. No machinces.
FJB. All other dems too. Also several rinos….
Tom says
Tom Wolfe said the title for his novel THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES came from 15th century Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola throwing Florentine citizens’ “vanities” (cosmetics, books, etc.) on bonfires…until the citizens grew sick of it and threw him on a bonfire.
David Mu says
In my opinion, the citizens of Florentine had good reasons to rid themselves of this pest, but we need to remember – there are those still who think otherwise about Savonarola.
J.J. Sefton says
“This is now a country where we lock up political opponents. And it’s inevitable that very soon, you’re going to realize that you are some people’s political opponents too.”
I would say that we just don’t have it in us to do that without good, solid, legal reason to do so – and quite obviously there is. But to just do what they did will well and truly mean that all bets are off and things will get sporty.
Ugh.
Greg says
Don’t fret Kurt, Ron DeSantis will save us.
BLSinSC says
The left has established MANY PRECEDENTS that should be used in a SCORCHED EARTH POLICY by PRESIDENT TRUMP and ALL RED STATE AG’s!! Use the SAME LAWS that the DEMOcrats have used to TRY to bankrupt the Right! The ONLY difference in most of the cases is that the LEFT will ACTUALLY BE GUILTY! Should Weiss and HIS CONSPIRATORS be brought up on charges of CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE???? ABSO – dang – LUTELY! IS it PROVABLE – 100% based on just what we’ve seen in COURT!!
Our Nation needs a PURGING of the LEFT from ALL offices, agencies, and positions of authority! Judges need to be IMPEACHED as well!! Red States are going to need to get this done and show the rest just how SAFE, PROSPEROUS, and DECENT life can be without the HYPOCRISY and CORRUPTION of the LEFT!
Mike says
I agree Trump may have a First Amendment defense to the Georgia case and the January 6 indictment.
But the First Amendment does not apply to the Florida documents case.
The Democrats did not make Trump take top secret documents out of the White House, put them on a truck and take them to Mara Lago.
Trump has never answered three basis questions about this case: 1) Why did he take those documents? 2) Why did he think he could take those documents? 3) What was he planning to do with those documents?
Trump’s whole life and his career in business and in politics is guided by one basic principle: The rules that apply to everyone else simply to not apply to me. I do what I want when I want to get what I want. I say what I need to say to get what I want and I do not care if it is the truth or not. I do not listen to anyone who tells me I cannot do something. I do what I want and I say what I want to get what I want.
Let’s not forget that Trumps career in politics began and ended with two big lies: 1) Obama was not born in the United States. 2) Vice President Pence had the constitutional authority to not certify the election results on January 6.
I have to admit this principle that has guided Trump’s life has worked well for him up to now. It has made him famous, made him rich (although I do not believe he is as rich as he claims. Why else would refuse to turn over his tax returns for years under pretense that he is being audited, another lie) and got him elected President. Now however it is returning to bite him in the butt.
If voters want someone who literally thinks they are so smart and special that rules and laws that govern other people’s behavior simply do not apply to him that is fine but just be clear that is who you are voting for.
By the way, I believe you can say the same thing about the Clintons. They both think they are so smart and special and the country needs them so much the rules that apply to others simply do not apply to them.
Having said all that, I will NOT vote for Biden. A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris and there is no way I want her to be President.
But I have to believe there is a candidate not Trump or Biden that can be elected and end the insanity of having to choose between a lying narcissist and a senile cognitively impaired incompetent. I remain hopeful.
Mo de Profit says
RFK? But he’s an anti VAXXER!!!!!
fsy says
I don’t know why this received so many downvotes. I can agree with almost all of it, although I can’t really give an opinion about Trump’s career over his whole life. The documents case really does seem to be a very serious accusation which at least should render him unfit to run for President.
Still, I’m not sure one can say that Trump literally ‘lied’ about Obama’s birth or about the certification of the election. The indications of cheating in the election are very convincing (20M more votes than Obama got either time, just to begin with), and the birth certificate that Obama released was very fishy.
The idea that Trump was/is a Dem plant to ruin the Republicans no longer seems so outrageous to me at this point.
Kynarion Hellenis says
Trump said, years ago, that they were not after him, but after us. He could have retired and enjoyed is life visiting his various friends and properties with his beautiful wife and children. He is the OPPOSITE of the faithless politicians we usually get.
That fact alone secures my unwavering loyalty to him. He gets it, and he is sacrificially devoted to his country in love and gratitude.
The left is united in its hatred of us and our nation. He is standing in the way, and at great cost to himself. This is what a public servant should do, and he is doing it when it is difficult.
KenPF says
Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. But for Wales?
Mo de Profit says
Wales is run by National Socialists these days.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Give them the Eagle Look make the UN Vulture Blink
Darrel says
The type and substance of what’s happening in recent years, political prosecution, p0rn in schools, discrimination and continuous harassment against whites, and continuous witch hunt against everything western, will need far more than “proportionality”. The promoters of all this malaise will need to be subjected to a root canal treatment for this great country to be great again. It’s not possible to keep the garbage and expect your house will not stink.
Cat says
The article is optimistic but off base. Should Trump win, if he were to have investigations and more of Democrats, it won’t be for bogus, false accusations that misuse the law and require hateful judges. It would be for actual illegal acts. He would need honest judges, if there are any. There is just no comparison. It would not at all be revenge. Or tit for tat. It would be restoring equal justice.
IMO, if Trump is president again, he will not do much of this despite the legality and morality of doing so.
If their boy, DeSantis were to miraculously win, there will be absolutely none of this at all, ever. It is a uniparty. It doesn’t attack itself. Just look at the do nothing speaker of the house. (Where are the J6 tapes, by the way.? Oh, we all forgot about that).
Allen Peterson says
This argument only makes sense if the GOP and the right will act like the left. But, is this true? Will this happen?
For 40 years leftists on university and college campuses have shouted the people they don’t like off the stage. Do people on the right do this? No, they don’t. How many examples do we have of right-wingers on a college campus shouting leftists off the stage? I don’t know of any.
Of course, there are exceptions. On January 6th people of the right decided to do what leftists do ALL THE TIME. They acted like Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups. They occupied a federal building, which the left does ALL THE TIME. And the reaction was HUGE prison sentences for those involved (and those NOT involved) whereas leftist rioters (who do MUCH more violence) get a slap on the wrist. The two leftist lawyers who threw molotov cocktails into a police car got one year of PROBATION, while Proud Boys who weren’t even at the Jan. 6th rally got 18 YEARS!
I think the left knows that we won’t use the same tactics. We are too “nice” for that. We are more interested in the rule of law than they are.
But, on the other hand, all conservatives, libertarians and classical liberals know we are under attack. We see what is going on. Will we return fire?
I’m thinking we will only return fire if we have a lawful case against them (unlike the leftist cases against us) and we won’t even do that if we feel that compromise and “reaching across the aisle” might make the lying leftist press like us. At least, that’s the way we’ve played this game so far (or, at least until Trump came along).
For how many years have people on the right believed that the press was a bunch of leftist liars pushing propaganda? At least since 1955 when National Review came along. How many GOP presidents before Trump called the press fake news, WHILE GIVING MAJOR SPEECHES? We said it in private. We said it in our magazines and books. Rush Limbaugh said it on radio. But, our GOP candidates never said it on T.V. to the fake news press themselves.
The left doesn’t hate Trump for his exaggerations (which they label “lies”). They hate him because he tells the TRUTH, right between the eyes.
When David Horowitz went from the left to the right, he asked “Where is the conservative ground army”? Now, we have one. Trump helped create it. Will we use these bent laws against those that bent those laws?
We shall see.
DC says
Kurt is an entertaining guy.
And I would love for him to be right about this.
But Kurt Schlichter is one of the worst prognosticators I’ve ever seen.
His speculations are invariably wrong……..spectacularly wrong. As in contrarian indicator for a financial market…….kind of wrong.
You see………..Kurt has a problem.
He likes to pretend that ELECTION FRAUD doesn’t exist and that the DEMS won’t resort to it again in 2024.
And that’s exactly why he’s gonna be wrong on this………..again.
DC says
100% correct………..as right as right can be.
DC says
This is for Scott Freitas’ comment.
Greebo says
There is a reason that “US” government agencies have been stocking up on ammunition & weapons when they have never had that function before. We are about to discover that reason when people rebel against the hijacking of TIER government by the Left/socialist/Progressive/Liberal/Democommie/Communists, They have destroyed our ability to have representation IN OUR government OF & FOR the people, & NOW “THEIR demockracy ” has become a government OVER the people. It is no longer a Constitutional government compose of the people, or for them. It is the sort of tyrannical government the Founders of the US warned us about. Of course, anyone who wants to RESTORE our Constitutional REPUBLIC will be LABELED an ‘insurrectionist’ & be hunted down.
June J says
There are not two distinct political parties. For the most part, elected Democrats and Republicans have only their own interests as their primary objectives. The biggest objective is staying in power regardless of what it takes.
Just like the first term, should Trump miraculously win the election, his biggest opposition will be the UniParty comprised of Dems and Repubs.
