After SCOTUS's knife in the back, what Trump must do now
2020-12-12
[American Thinker] Today, Donald Trump is the most dangerous man on the planet. At this moment, America needs him more than he needs America. Trump could shoot the biggest middle finger ever to the entire nation, retire to a private island, or his penthouse, or his Florida compound, overcook his prime steaks and douse them with ketchup, and really — who could blame him? It's not as if he'll outlive his money. He doesn't need us. He doesn't need anyone. He has "F-U" money, and unlike others with big money — such as Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein and everyone ever named Kennedy — he doesn't have this sick psychotic need to rule over others for 60 years of government life. Trump is the freest man on the planet tonight. He needs nothing.

We, however, are no longer the freest people on the planet. We need some help.

Our feckless Supreme Court has chosen guaranteed cocktail party invitations with the beautiful people in the swamp over the Constitutional Republic — and favored phony pieces of mailed ballots and theoretical Dominion algorithms over flesh-and-blood voters.

As it stands, President Donald Trump faces what may be the most distasteful test of patriotism any president has ever faced. And it may be among the most important ever as well. To be fair, this is not the horrible choice of instantly killing hundreds of thousands of non-combatant citizens — including kids — the kind of decisions surrounding the bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki in World War 2. Clearly not. But on a personal gut level, it must be an even more bitter choice. And again, in this, we need him more than he needs us — or anyone, or anything.

We will find out whether or not Trump can maintain his love of country and commitment to duty, just hours and days after that country's core institutions have proven to be incredibly corrupt and immovably stacked against him and his voters. Can he muster enough love of America to overcome what must be a well earned deep well of hate and resentment toward this nations' highest court, its entire media complex, the entertainment industry, and the entire educational establishment? After four years of unprecedented and unimaginable hate and lies from all quarters, can he possibly still give a damn?

I'm not sure I could. And I don't have F-U money to fall back on.

The question now is, will he muster the energy to do the right thing? The right thing is to somehow swallow this absurd and evil election result and soldier on to Georgia once again to try to salvage the Republic by supporting two Republican senators hardly worthy of mention. Donald Trump deserves better. We all deserve better. And it is the fact that we all deserve better, and the fact that Trump seems to care about such things, that gives me hope.

#13  Can he muster enough love of America to overcome what must be a well earned deep well of hate and resentment toward this nations' highest court, its entire media complex, the entertainment industry, and the entire educational establishment? After four years of unprecedented and unimaginable hate and lies from all quarters, can he possibly still give a damn?

I can't. And don't.
Normal people of good will and good sense can't and won't.

The degree of lying, of flaming assholery, hypocrisy, of bullshit on stilts that we have seen these last four years is unforgivable.

Anyone who loves this country has to admit that as many as half of her citizens are fools, loons or poltroons.

We are better off without them. A smaller, weaker America ruled by law and revering our Constitution and our heritage is better than this bloated kakocracy.

Separate. Let the kakocrats have their Woke shitholes, they're "autonomous zones," their defunded police, their oligarchs and Chinese masters. Give us back our country -- smaller but true, proud, pure.

Divorce time.

#8  So now it goes back to state courts to decide the legality of their decisions made outside their constitutions.

I'm certain that shall work out well./s

The Republican Party, along with our rule of law, has been "red shirted" imo.

#7  Sadly, I don't think even if he leaves they will leave him alone. He upset their booty cart and probably set their plans back at least a decade. they are already talking about prosecution him. And with the courts the way they are now they wouldn't even have to have any admissible evidence. Just an alledged, 'anonoymous whistleblower' nobody would ever see or know the identity of.
Remember - they left always seems to accuse their opponents of what they are fully planning to do first. What have they been accusing him of over the last 3 years?
They *have* to make an example of him. Make it so that anyone who even considers thinking about opposing them will think thrice about it.

#4  Such doom and gloom. This is one small part of the picture. This was a flash in the pan transient event. Stay tuned much more to come.

#3  ^ Would that be Israel? I mean, with Baraq II in office, what does Israel have to lose?
