What Will We Do With the Gift Donald Trump Has Given US?

Andrew: most of us go through life with blinders on, madam. Knowing only that one little station to which we were born. But now you, madam, on the other hand, had the… rare privilege of escaping your bonds for just a spell. To see life from an entirely new perspective. How you choose to use that information, madam… is entirely up to you.

Overboard 1987

At Hot Air David Strom bluntly says it aloud:

In less than 1 week the administration has shredded the already tattered reputation of the Justice Department.

  • Last Wednesday a US Attorney tried to convince a judge to give what amounted to a plenary pardon to Hunter Biden for all crimes he had committed in the past.
  • On Thursday Donald Trump was indicted yet again.
  • Then Sam Bankman-Fried was let off the hook for funneling $90 million of stolen funds into the pockets of Democrats.
  • Then the Justice Department demanded a judge jail a whistleblower who has revealed that Joe Biden was deeply involved in Hunter Biden’s influence peddling.
  • Then the FBI reveals it contracted illegally with a spyware firm…
  • And on Tuesday Donald Trump got indicted yet again.

As I said, they aren’t even trying to pretend they are anything but corrupt tyrants who are convinced they can get away with anything they want to.

The infuriating thing is that they are right.

You see for a long time the deep state has been slowly boiling the frog in America and slowly moving toward a uniparty neo-feudal system whereby the connected in the world may do all (read Epstein & his clients) slowly but surely they were moving things. Their great advance was in the Obama years when under the dazzling light of the chosen one many foot soldiers of their cause found their way into government service.

The election of Trump so shook these people and his potential re-election shook them even further. In normal times they would have just put things on slow motion and waited for the worm to turn but he shook them to the point where they went all out to destroy him fearing all would be exposed and ruined.

The irony of course is they misread him. If they allowed him to accomplish what he wanted and helped a little they could have taken partial credit and then once the eight years were up continued on their path without any loud noises of warning. Instead by going all out they frankly caused all of these things to come out in the open and exposed who and what they are to the American people. Why if it hadn’t been for Trump people would still think Merrick Garland was a squishy moderate.

The real gift of Trump has been to bring all of this out in the open. That is the key. Now none of it is hidden and we as a society must decide which path we take.

Without Trump we don’t get this choice, may it be a wise one because the fate we choose will be the one we deserve.

Closing thought: I’d like to remind everyone that

Rejecting the left’s attempt to subvert justice and the electoral process

and

Deciding someone other than Trump would be the best GOP nominee

are not mutually exclusive.

Never Forget that any Outrage of Ashley Biden and Hunter’s & Joe’s dealings by Dems…

…means that the status of the Biden’s has gone from “Useful idiots” to just plain “Idiots” which makes them expendable.

Nothing more.

Indulgence Calendars for Aug and a Reminder about the Special Aug 2nd Plenary Indulgence available

Posted: July 31, 2023 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Since the indulgence calendars for July were a day late going up I thought I’d make up for it by getting this month’s calendars up a day early.

It’s also a good time to remind everyone that there is a special Plenary indulgence available on Aug 2nd:

Anyone who visits a Catholic church with the intention of honoring Our Lady of the Angels and recites the Creed, the Our Father, and prays for the Pope’s intentions, may receive a plenary indulgence on Aug. 2

To get this indulgence like any other you will need to be free of mortal sin, have gone to confession within 20 days before or after the date and receive communion on the day.

Don’t miss out on this easy indulgence: As for the Calendar here is the August Calendar

Ace Offers a Deal

Stacy McCain had a great piece noting that it’s generally a bad idea to piss off Ace of Spades.

Something I realized long ago, sort of Rule Number One for survival in the conservative blogosphere: Never piss off Ace of Spades.

Ace has very good instincts about who is or is not Down For The Agenda. If he ever starts taking shots at somebody, you can bet that sooner or later that person will prove himself to be an unprincipled quisling.

But why bring up Allahpundit at this late date, eh?

If you look at the RCP average, Trump is beating DeSantis 3-1 and, quite frankly, DeSantis is starting to look like This Year’s Scott Walker. It is therefore remarkable that Ace would take this stance just now, when Trump looks like a shoo-in for the 2024 GOP nomination.

But Ace being Ace is a person who tends to say what he thinks and de damned to what the numbers are:

Every one of Trump’s problems gets weaponized against DeSantis, and then people wonder — Gee, why aren’t DeSantis’ supporters more interested in talking about Trump’s problems?

Tell you what: If Trump issues a STRONG statement clearing him from the previous lies that DeSantis is a pedophile, gay, cheats on his wife, killed more people with Covid than Democrat governors Newsom or Cuomo, then I’ll join you in your calls for STRONG statements clearing Trump of crimes which, let’s face it, he probably did commit.

And while Ace notes the horrible double standards being applied he says the line that for some Trump supporters will be considered Crossing the Rubicon:

The argument is really about selective prosecution of crimes that The Regime has previously not charged prominent Democrats for, not for Trump’s actual innocence.
And as the DOJ was bringing more charges against Trump, it was also dropping all campaign corruption charges against the second-biggest donor to the Democrat Party in 2020.

All of this was actually avoidable by simply pushing the Trump record as president which is a pretty good one, but Stacy has one final suggestion to those who are all in on Trump:

Everything I’ve seen so far suggests to me that Trump is a lead-pipe cinch for the 2024 nomination, however much anyone may wish otherwise, or however much better DeSantis might be as a candidate in the general election.

Is there some way that could change? I don’t know, but maybe some of Trump’s more outspoken supporters should think about toning down their rhetoric just a wee bit, because they appear to be in danger of violating Rule Number One: Never piss off Ace of Spades.

All of this is good advice but while Ace’s deal is a good one and Stacy’s advice is even better none of it answers the question I have been asking for months:

If we believe that the last election was stolen and there have been no consequences for it, what steps will either a re-nominated Trump or a newly nominated DeSantis do to prevent this from happening again?

Because if neither Trump nor DeSantis have an actual workable plan to counter those tactics then neither of them have any business being nominated.
