Where are the articles of impeachment we were promised?

Where are the articles of impeachment we were promised?

RINOs are blocking it. But all they really need is to get the committee investigating it over the next year. That is where the real damage to Biden and the Dems can be made.

That will cause no damage whatsoever because the fake-news and censorship industrial complex will make sure a large portion of the voters will never hear about it. Even if they do hear about it they will still vote for Biden because (1) Biden's better than the "Orange Hitler™" and (2) vote harvesters will handle the 30% of people to stupid/uninformed/asleep/stoned (pick 1 or more) to actually vote for themselves.

minnesta governor tim walz is currently out describing the firing of jimmy kimmel as “north korea style stuff.”

leaving aside all the histrionics and stupidity and misframed misperception here, this is a truly dramatic volte face from the guy who so aggressively declaimed that

“there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech”

to advocate censoring his opponents and detractors.

this is past “culture war” and into something altogether weirder and wilder.

this is a war for the actual nature of reality.

politicians like walz are making up facts, making up pretext, and making up history.

they and the media supporting them are creating an entirely false worldview to try and keep the last of their failing political faction together.

but each new lie puts more and more stress on the lies that came before and past a point, a false reality bubble bursts.

this is what is happening now.

the absurdity of it, the outlandish claims and impossible beleif requirements can no longer map to anything that looks like reality.

this is losing them the center in droves.

it has, in essence, eliminated the idea or even the possibility of “center.”

you want to see the real “north korea style stuff”?

take a gander at this.




during the “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” that then began in minneapolis and spread across the nation, governor walz did nothing to stop the pillaging and burning.

the rioters were largely left to run riot.

i have some good friends who lived in the western suburbs of minneapolis at the time.

they were forced to evacuate their neighborhood because “we cannot keep you safe.”

this was obviously a lie. they absoultely could have kept them safe, the national guard was available, even active.

but look what they were doing.

yup, instead of reining in riots, they patrolled peaceful suburban neighborhoods with humvees and armed guardsmen demanding that peaceful people not so much as step outside their homes.

they literally fired upon people (with pepperball munitions, not lead) for the heinous crime of “standing on their own porch.”

now you tell me:

what was the “north korea style stuff” around here and who was orchestrating it upon whom and to what end?

this is small town america, people.

and this was not so long ago.

(video of humvees in white neighborhood to keep people from objecting to extreme black violence)

is this freedom? democracy? a rights based republic?

seriously, what are we going to call it when the governor sends the national guard to suppress peaceful people on their own front porches while leaving the nearby riots to burn, loot, and demolish?

and what are we going to call the kind of guy who did that and then goes on TV to talk about the death of democracy because an unfunny ratings-bomb talkshow host lost his job because he would not back off an obvious lie that upset ABC and its sponsors?

what are we to make of a man who presided over actual military attacks on peaceful people who simply wanted to stand outside on their own property while allowing mass violence in the city next door to run on unfettered when he describes others as authoritarian?




the lawfare and other attacks were orchestrated and unrelenting.

and somehow just now it’s all fogotten?

this was not isolated. support was widespread. kicking trump off social media had an 89% approval rate among democrats.

and the utterly made up facts and claims used to underpin it have become a real danger. there is a not insignificant portion of america that is uncritically accepting this, inhabiting a full blown reality falsification bubble.

they are not bad or immoral or stupid people.

many are decent folks with decent minds making models of the world from manipulated data.

they trust in news that is not news but fiction.

they trust in leaders who do nothing apart from always accusing the other side of that which they are guilty.

perhaps i’m just being optimistic, but i think that a lot of them have no idea how badly, comprehensively, and consistently they have been lied to.

but i think a lot of them are starting to have suspicions.

and the more they question, the more the liars will have to tell ever greater whoppers to try to hold them in place and the more obvious the falsehoods will become.

you cannot play high trust civilized games with low trust uncivilized people.

and if you try, you will lose.

your own rules and mores will hamstring you and prevent you from response.

where there is no goodwill from others, reciprocal goodwill towards them is a vulnerability and when dealing with a tribe that sees vulnerability as opportunity, it will cost you dearly.

and past a point, there is no profit in refusing to recognize what the game is.

this is just plain reality denial and projection.

it’s a cult telling its last followers that up is down and down is sideways while always accusing the other side of that which they are guilty.

the evidence that the FCC caused this firing as opposed to ABC making a business choice looks fairly flimsy and assumptive to me, but even if it were so, it’s hardly comparable to soldiers shooting at citizens who dared peek their heads out of their homes and hardly in keeping with walz’s own (admittedly false) assertions that hate speech and misinformation are not protected speech.

the current cry seems to be that “cancel culture is right wing.”

you seriously could not make this stuff up.

depiction of reality has become completely fluid and malleable.

it was not so very long ago that this same group cheered in glee at the removal (at government behest) of a sitting president from essentially all major social media platforms.

The Kommies are shape shifters who will generate any dialog to lie and control power. They have no core belief except that of domination and imposing suffering, privation and death on their subject populations. They are frequency annihilators for any frequency but their own Satanic grid. We are just human sacrifices in holding pens to them.

A neighbor in Santa Cruz whose family are from Minneapolis (still visits) cried when we talked with her after the riots. "It was such a beautiful city". I wouldn't know. I have never been there.
