“Biden is a Stone Cold Crook — You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven,” he continued. “These lowlifes Impeached me TWICE (I WON!), and Indicted me FOUR TIMES – For NOTHING! Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US!”

    Right and… then what? Biden isn’t guilty of anything. The Senate wouldn’t convict him. Even if the Senate did convict (which they won’t), Harris, who even Trump isn’t pretending has done anything wrong, would then become President. What’s the endgame, here? We all know there isn’t one. It’s just the politics of endless grievance and whinging.

      The endgame is overthrowing democracy. He’s absolutely right, you know? They have no way of staying politically relevant unless they turn the US into a dictatorship.

        We have all heard the “never wrestle a pig” adage. This is the pig picking a fight. It is a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters and politicize the concept of justice. The proper response - both rhetorically and ethically, is to say “show me the evidence under penalty of perjury in a court of law and we will be the first to hold Biden, or anyone else, accountable.”

      They’ve been telegraphing the end game since 2013. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/

      Trump is an icon of "You’re Fired!’ angry businessmen. They want a state where business is entirely unregulated and controls all aspects of life, company towns and states, no environmental protection rules, dog eat dog education system and weapons everywhere. Public execution or brazen lynching of non-conforming sexual identity / racial out-groups to cheer on. Freedom to discriminate and threaten people they don’t like.

        On the bright side, a “corporate congress” would probably only allow like half of the other stuff. They would still need educated workers, and why give anyone any freedoms.

          Based on how they treated the top of medical science during the pandemic, I don’t think they want educated workers. They can travel to smarter places. They want trade skills, technology skills, not people educated in humanities. They believe in 25% business growth every year and it’s a unsustainable fantasy that was largely build off over-exploiting the earth and creating population booms.

            Linked to the AI post, I think they would want the best educated workers in all areas… and the rest can file for unemployment while AIs replace them.

            Dunno if that would lead to more unemployed people starting new competing businesses, or a total humanitarian disaster.

      Biden isn’t guilty of anything.

      I think Trump knows that. The thing is, Trump thinks he’s not guilty of anything either, so in his warped worldview, all presidents can be impeached because someone disagrees with them, because that’s what he thinks happened to him.
