2022 or NEVER!! Part 3: Democrats

It’s all important to emphasize that it is Democrats & democrats[i] together in this fight. The word “party” as in Democratic Party should be strictly avoided as: 1. It brings up negative images of the party machine as in times past w/corrupt party machines; Clinton Foundation financing… 2. It detracts from the image that this is a popular uprising against tyranny by a wide swath of the populace, regardless of otherwise political affiliations.

To give you a sense of the urgency; the importance of the midterm campaign, allow us some remarks about the 2024 presidential campaign. Pres. Joe won in ’20 & we are forever grateful! But now he is considered weak, even though many circumstances he has no control over & others are simply being sabotaged by Republicans.  Rivalry has always been intrinsic to political powers, but to base a whole platform, the purpose & zeal of an entire Republican party to harm, block the opponent EVEN WHEN IT HURTS the COUNTRY, EVEN WHEN IT HURTS the PEOPLE seems ludicrous, yet goes unnoticed by many. Instead Pres. Joe has to see low scores on evaluation surveys. Nevertheless we feel an overwhelming sense in the American populace that this war, and as tragic the war crimes in Ukraine are, we mean the global war; the global problems of inflation, food short supplies and that we need to vote some rational people in office to tackle them.

Ok, what to do about it all? Answer: make a “run-around” play; make the 2024 Democratic Presidential Nomination Convention the “biggest show on Earth” & simultaneously blind-side the Republican hate machine!

Ok, how do you do that? Answer: Let Pres. Joe announce that he will not run for re-election & he will support any of the candidates coming out of this convention. And by convention we mean a real national convention with all the pageantry of presidential national convention, it needs to be now – BEFORE the mid-terms!!! That deflates all the hype about usual mid-term swings. Look, Joe’s old, people are scared (more on that later), Republicans via FOX et al  propaganda have invested all their hate directly on him personally. Such a convention negates the massive negative efforts to smear Pres. Joe; Republicans will have to start with new crazy stories. Presidential candidates could get an early name awareness.

This convention has to stress 1 single all-important topic: the fight against tyranny! It’s already about 2024!! The battle for democracy is present, it is now! That should actually be pretty simple, pretty obvious, but it needs to be elevated as the all-important conspicuous public debate. (For some of us here it is, obviously, but we are talking national strategy here.) That in turn, means a lot less of the 2020 Presidential Campaign type blah-blah of single candidates fighting each other about how to finance this or that; what they wore or said at the high school prom 30 years previously. This needs to be an almost orchestrated cascade of candidates expounding how they each can better win over Putin, over China (WW3, the economic version, will be in full swing by then), preserve here & restore democracy elsewhere in the world. That happens to be also the wy to solve the problems of fuell costs, food costs. The convention needs to be the equivalent of years of name-recognition building for a kick-ass, dynamic person. Pres. Joe was the right person – balanced, calm, professional – to collect all those anti-Trump votes in ‘20. Now we are at war! The public image Democrats need for the 2024 campaign is NOT someone going into their 80’s!! Simply someone who talks, but also looks like they can kick some ass, as oversimplified as that sounds. Pres. Joe has spent a lifetime to become el Presidento, let him enjoy it, take a winning record 1 for 1, with him & become another exPresident, even a very influential one.

But back to the midterms: Yes, a few loonies like the current Karen sisters in Congress may get through and continue to be a side show, maybe even some of the Putin enablers in the Senate, but overall people will recognize they need rational people in charge of government. These are trying times and not place for people with their heads swimming around in fantasies or actively working against the interests of America. There we think will come the golden moment when Democrats actually build on their numbers, allowing Pres. Joe a strong hand in the last 2 years, maybe even a few SCOTUS appointments.

May 1 (2022) is coming & war crime despot Putin has dug himself in a hole. We would not be surprised to see a tactical nuke dropped on Kiev. A truly spectacular finale for the big Moscow May Day parade. We could go on, but the point is that this war is going to continue otherwise. Stress levels are high. People will tend to be more cautious & sober. Republican crimes , lunacies, absurdities get most of the press these days, but let us not forget the actual gigantic 2020 voting numbers. The MAGA types are slowly waking, their delirium weakening & the millions upon millions more who voted for Pres. Joe are exactly those who recognize the severity of our current state of affairs.

We predict a massive voter turnout, with even better margins; overwhelming numbers for Democrats as was the case in the 2020 presidential vote.


[i] Just in case…. Big “D” -> formal name, capitalized (Democratic Party members), little “d” is just any person who believes in democracy.

2022 or NEVER!! Part 2: Republican Party

Ok, so the Republican Party apparatus in many states & even nationally has been hijacked by a bunch of loonies, but the Trump lunacy is actually on the decline. And the remaining loonies are starting to make an impact: ironically, showing undecided people exactly how crazy & chaotic things can become if these loonies are not stopped. That’s not to say it won’t be a major effort necessary to get the vote mobilized. Now that people are starting to realize we are at war with Russia, the mid-terms should be about loyalty. It is much more serious than people generally recognize! Any U-tuber should be able to notice a markedly more Soviet-style propaganda campaign. Supposedly economic sites now screaming The END!!, pouring pessimism on any & all things. Some we speculate are even sleepers: first gather users with a lot of click-bait & regurgitated news and waiting…until called.

(Note: Facebook we never even started. In their blind quest for profits, they’ve long ago crawled in the hind crevace of Putin’s propaganda machine. Along with other hate, trash & porn, just not worth it.)

Of course, this loud, total, public adoration of Czar Putin by Fox News et al & of course the Orange Glob brings a whole new element into play. Will all the conspiracy madness, massive misinformation, support of anti-democratic violent-ready pockets of individuals be enough to paralyze America going into a crucial, if not existential national midterm vote? Much of this Qanon-type crap comes from Putin’s Fucking Sinister Bastards & it looks to us he has pulled the trigger. That is, he wants others to know he will escalate. WW3 is just getting started. Putin’s blah blah about nukes simply reflects his KGB past: act big, bring in all tools available to make citizens unsure. But whether military intrusions or Internet attacks or social media hate campaigns by Putin, we are just in the beginning of drawing the “frontlines”. They will be (already are, looks like) international, they will disrupt trade, they will feed the new inflation, they  will   be   problematic. BUT, we did not start this war, nevertheless must defend ourselves – everything that we have or enjoy! If that sounds a bit strong, this author remembers East-European (In Poland, in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia) demonstrators being mowed down by Soviet tank machine guns in the days of the ‘great’ post-WW2 Soviet Union. This is the great plan Czar Putin has (again) as he lists country after country in his dream speeches of a Soviet Union of the Past.

Yes, the election image Republicans make will be strongly flavored by their support for Russia in this growing conflict. Just saw an investing video (creeps don’t get no plug !=} where a whole panel talks about how great Russian oil stocks look. Has their greed just turned their brain to mush? This was after 1 guest talks about starving Americans! First, it’s disgusting. On further reflection, probably wrong as well: in an at least “more active” war (Which one hears definitely in Czar Putin’s speeches!=[) everything will be in play except nukes (though he threatens that too!!). After “consolidation”, drawing front lines…, Russia will sell gas/oil to China (China is on the same debt trap as the West, but the 2 giant dictatorships together will make a formidable foe – in the end, after being consumers, we’re all just Uighurs to the China commies ); the “rest” of the world will buy from Western energy producers. Really will come down to which side you want to win (or be more profitable).

We really don’t know the allocation of this Russia support. How much of it comes from the vast, malign Internet hate & fear channels the Russians are shooting out & how much is residual love of Putin by Orange Slob because the Russians have dirt on him & subsequently carried over to his followers. The latter is ebbing; the former is just getting started.

Actually it’s NOT the Republican candidates & their positions that worry us – the more extreme idiots the better. No, it is the supporters who will volunteer to “monitor” voting lines with their AR-15s. It is the Republican incumbents who will see their only future in massive vote manipulations! The continuing misinformation about voter fraud is exactly what you want to confuse the populace with if you are going to then actually do it yourself. First accuse the enemy of any outrage that you want to commit yourself.(That you CAN read in any old KGB handbook!=). It radically reduces the sting – and holds many at bay – when one can say ‘It happened last time too! The others did it’.

And most worrying are the nazi laws now being passed in many Republican state legislatures. They really make no bones about it: restrict black voting at all costs; control voter registration data to manipulate or use to advantage; and even laws making partisan officials to be “in charge” of election processes. This will be the most contentious midterm for a long time. Republican officials everywhere are doing what they can to manipulate the system, actively & cognizantly corrupting the election process completely.

We use that word “nazi” a lot talking about Republicans, but think about it: wasn’t the Jan.6 riot just an unsuccessful version of the Nazies burning down their Reichtag (congress building) in 30’s? If you want the village to depend on your (inferior) mojo, you necessarily have to poisen or cover or destroy the mojo well of the existing popular Witch Doctor to avoid open comparison! Again, different words, but same idea you find in Mein Kampf & also FSB handbooks. When local school boards taken over by extremist political fervor start banning books, reminding you of Fahrenheit 451, is that not also reminiscent of the public book burnings in 1930’s Germany? And please spare the silly comparison of TrumpChump & Adolf. Nothing like it, not even close. Hitler was a consummate evil person & also capable political intriguist. TrumpChump is a narcissistic career criminal who – for $$$ & applause – fell into Putin’s palm to be made a Manchurian Candidate. We really think people are starting to wake up to that!

As an aside, Goering appeals to us as an appropriate comparison to TrumpChump. Goering was actually an ace pilot in WW1 and – true to Peter Principle (the original was that people get promoted to their level of incompetence) – he was not up to administrative tasks of air force head for the Nazies in WW2. Instead he had pompous uniforms designed for his large & overweight body to make him look like something out of some Imperial Past, all the while robbing art works – from Jewish families, but also straight from museums all over Europe. Literally the man used his power to steal trainloads upon trainloads of artwork. So you see a pretty straight comparison: just two fat-ass, loud-mouth, deplorable crooks, elevated to positions of responsibility they could never handle.

The real running for Führer of this racist, undemocratic attack on American freedom & democracy by the Republican Party would be someone in power orchestrating openly racist laws, voiding national health mandates for zealot dogma, thereby causing actual deaths of fellow Americans. When one is willing to see people die – the same people one has taken an oath to defend – to follow political zealotry & opportunist dogma, then they become eligible for Führer. The current candidates are the Governors of Texas & Florida. For hypocrites like Senators Cruz, Rubio, Hawley et al who went to elite universaties, the German word “Mitlaüfer” is apropo. Mit=>with & laüfer=> walker –> simply walking along with. These creeps know better but for personal gain or quest for power simply go along (& cheer on too) this anti-democratic grab for power, much like many opportunists “walked along” with the Nazies in Germany. Again simply for personal gain or quest for power, but no real convictions for anything. Pimple-assed opportunists, stoking the fire, thinking they can bail out of this like changing bowling shoes…. No- all will have to own their actions in this conflict.

We conclude to say we welcome this national contest against fanatics in 2024, but only if we can have a fair election in 2022. Should the Republicans steal enough of these 2022 midterm state elections, a fair vote in 2024 will become impossible. In fact, if Democrats are not able to make ground in 2022, to have enough support for national voting rights law, for national standards for fair elections processes, this fight for fair elections will escalate & continue to harm America’ image.

The 2021 American Constitutional Crisis

(Amended Nov.12,2020)

We are a week after the 2020 Election that Joe “LoveThatMan” Biden has won decisively, even if Congressional  elections were more mixed. The first time we warned of this coming disaster concerning the Chief Deplorable`s reaction we erroneously put “2020” in the title. Yes, today CNN even used the term “Constitutional Crisis, if only in a question. The problem is that democratically oriented folks are being placated by fantasies like “Trump needs time to accept the results…” or “Republicans are only trying to present a good front for the Senate special elections in Georgia for the U.S. Senate next  January.” Whether people spreading this pure bullcrappy actually believe it or not is irrelevant. What is damaging is that democratically oriented people who would otherwise take action in the face of danger are letting themselves be duped if they believe such nonsense! They are simply giving this FAKE president more time to concoct his dictatorial schemes.

Let’s be frank: Trump is cornered!! He has massive personal debts coming due for money he does not have; he & his family are facing criminal investigations for corruption & being POTUS is his only defense. Yes, this despicable person is – academically speaking – a pretty dumb person, stupid even. It is easy to forget he is also an experienced, a practiced manipulator. He has several options, no matter how ludicrous they sound:

  1. Find a case of election fraud. Any , any at all, even fabricated (as he has dictated his Justice Dept hack Barr to do.) and let it find one friendly judge. Let that one case – however trivial – rise in the judicial ladder to the Supreme Court. This is where the judicial hacks he has appointed there will decide something completely to his liking. Declaring him “president for life” would be perhaps too extreme. No, it will be something along the lines that the election as a whole was invalid & needs to be redone. Perhaps with additional requirements for federal oversight that will guarantee control for Trump.
  2. Place enough political hacks in the Pentagon to be able to control the military. When he is still in the White House after January 20th 2020 people will go to the streets in protest. Probably the protests will start already in December or even sooner as it becomes obvious that he is simply not leaving the White House nor has any intention to ever do do. The Chief Deplorable will then righteously declare a national emergency and have his hacks in the Pentagon who will, this time, allow U.S. active troops to be mobilized to the streets of America. He will, of course, be oblivious to the resulting bloodshed. My guess is that SecState POMPOUS will revert to his military role and actively lead these efforts. He has already publically stated that Trump will be president for the next 4 years!!
  3. Start a war – any war – then declare a national emergency. After that his newly appointed hacks in the Pentagon will take it from there.
  4. Have Republican SecStates of various states corrupt the Electorial College with fake representatives. Yes, most of them are decent, loyal to American law type of people, regradless of their political policy beliefs. But remember, it only takes a small number to do the damage. Aren’t we seeing enough Republican politicians and political appointees openly saying Trump “will win”!?!?

The real crisis will not be apparent until Jan 20th & the Chief Deplorable is still in the White House.  When we first warned of this calamity, the Covid tragedy count was 75K. It is now at the lower end of our forecast: quarter million and rising fast. Santa Claus -in our sad opinion – will bring the total to the high end of our forecast: one-half million Americans dead from Vovid! The reason Trump & Pence do nothing – except go golfing & vacation, respectively – is because a rising catastrophe in the health sphere is actually to their liking; it serves their purpose to have a chaotic as possible environment come January! The more people distracted by the fact they & others around them are sick or dying, the more they will also be distracted from the political scam being perpetrated upon them. And the sad part is that so many Republicans go along with all this, go along with whatever Trump does or says.  The many people, not the majority by far but nevertheless too many, who voted for Trump will accept an overthrow of the legitimate government of the United States. Sounds ludicrous, but that is the state of divisiveness, diregard for institutions that 4 years of this Chief Deplorable has brought us. The remaining hurdle is only to distract the remaining part of the population with war, pestilence, whatever…..More will be better for a “Republican win”.

That is why we call it the 2021 American Constitutional Crisis. It will be in 2021 at the latest that the democratic institutions – the ones remaining that Trump has not poisoned with his political hacks – will be put to the decisive test. And it will truly be a test!

One of Trump’s sons used the term “Total war” – very reminiscent of Hitler’s famous call for mobilization “Wollen Sie den totallen Krieg!”. He (or the other one, can’t tell one from the other…) actually called for the deaths of leading Democratic Party officials & leading public figures. Their deaths!!! He said it openly, publically AND was cheered by a large crowd of followers. Forget that that is a federal offense! Tell me there is not going to be violence on the streets before this is over! I don’t mean to denigrate the seriousness of the recent Black Lives Matter efforts & protests, but if Trump does not go, we will experience a whole new level of protest.  The whole Trump clan in the White House has no shame. Let the public bleed before they have to answer for their actions. Tell me they are not organizing  “brown shirts” in the midst of Homeland Security personnel! Tell me it will bother them in the least when Americans are shooting each other !

Oh yea, I forgot: Trump just needs time to adjust. Really, you really believe – after seeing him in action for 4 years – he becomes more rational in times of stress??? Dream on…keep watching Fox…

Then there is The Republicans are only putting on a good show of strength for the elections in Georgia for 2 Senate seats. First, lets get this straight: This is the political party that actively tries to restrict voting rights with any means vailable. Let me see, the election is Jan 5th and Inaugaration is 20th. Does that mean there will be no transition until…  until the votes are counted (& most undoubtedly recounted!)  in that Georgia election also, maybe February?? Is there any incentive for the Republicans to allow a transition before that election on Jan 5th – especially as the election comes closer ??? And if they can get away with it that far, why not…. further……and …… further….. and all the while the Chief Deplorable thinks of his options & schemes on….

We do not know what options are available to those who want a transition, the hallmark of a democratic republic, a feature for which the U.S. is admired & respected throughout the world (or feared!=). But we offer the following: Impeachment (again) in the House of Representatives and send it to the Senate! Let Senators no longer hide if they are on the side of democracy or allied to all those hiding in Trump’s hind cheeks. The Chief Deplorable has definitely raised the stakes in this debacle, it is time to double down on him!

(Trump is trying to gather as much cash as possible from this quagmire, soliciting funds for his “legal fees” while the biggest chunk actually goes directly to his campaign. The same campaign that refuses to pay their bills to all municipalities where rallies were held, just as Trump himself left unpaid bills whereever he has operated. But what concerns s most is what reward he expects from the Russians, from Putin, as he lets his newly appointed hacks in the Pentagon release classified information will-nilly as long as he is still in office!!!)

2020: The Coming American Constitutional Crisis

2020: The Coming American Constitutional Crisis                     May 9, 2020

Where to start? Perhaps with a vacuous academic description of how when a large, complicated system experiences a large growing number of many small problems mounting cause the risk factor of a major disruption to rise….nah: the major disruptions are already starting to mount. We have added a specific date – when the unthinkable happens, don’t say you weren’t warned. Perhaps a better way to date this post – or any happening – is by the number of US Covid-19 deaths (tragedies). Currently we stand at 75K; the number is growing; the federal leadership is just as ineffective as a remedy as it was at the beginning. All-important testing is only happening regularly in the WH, while states are still struggling individually, some less than others.

But this leadership is not inactive: The Justice Department – through the Chief Deplorable’s political hack Barr – has finally showed beyond doubt that it serves only to achieve any personal interest or vendettas that the greatest FAKE PRESIDENT the USA has ever experienced wishes; the intelligence community has been constantly belittled in the eyes of the public and is about to be led by another political hack who will work to achieve the same there; Congress has been sidelined as a controlling factor in the normal, all-important balance of power; the Republican leader in the Senate seriously expounds the ludicrous, absolutely catastrophic idea that US states should go into bankruptcy. The Chief Deplorable talks about not saving “blue states”. His armed supporters gather in state capitols.

The USA has had – and survived – corrupt Presidents (think Harding). The USA has had – and survived – leaders of limited intellectual capabilities (think little Busch). But the coming crucial question of late 2020 – in our humble opinion – will be if the USA can survive an utterly egotistical, corrupt, dumb, sui generis FAKE PRESIDENT? What did the first Sec/State of this administration, a man who led one of the biggest, richest corporation on earth, say after his very short stint: he threw up his hands and said (of this FAKE PRESIDENT) “ He’s an idiot!”. Yes, we’ve had idiots in the WH before, but they let others (including a corrupt Vice) run the show. No, we have a hopeless egotist who says he is a “stable genius” who insists that he has “absolute power”, yet incapable of seeing anything beyond his own little world of personal ambitions. Literally an American Nero – singing his own praises – while Covid-19 fire is burning through the land!!

So much of what the Chief Deplorable does – disgusting language, despicable ruining of careers of any civil servant crossing his ire, letting his family run amok with government services for crony deals…. The list is endless – has all become just daily news and thereby just so run-of-the-mill, just so stock that it’s almost starting to be boring – if you ignore the trend, the consequences.

Let’s see what the landscape will look like in the Fall & onward of 2020. What will be the circumstances around a most decisive, critical 2020 election? First, it should be tragically apparent that the delayed, then mixed messaging, the utter lack of national leadership will guarantee that COVID-19 will still be raging. The blaming game will expand stepwise, but do nothing to alleviate this national cataclysm. Any other leader – even a mediocre opportunist politician – would have listened to the early warnings, acted quickly, decisively, then basked in euphoric glory as people saw the destruction in other vast parts of the globe. No, this fake leader mired in his petty, personal little world ignored whatever did not affect him immediately. So now his short-sighted, fatal strategy is to let Americans die for the sake of a supposedlygrowing economy. But will this economy come back? Can this economy under such dire circumstances even come back? Not a snowball’s chance in Hell!

So, here comes the existential 2020 Presidential Election in November 2020. Since this Fake President thinks in simple terms let’s describe the situation in simple elements: his “base” loves to come out in the open (with their automatic weapons), without masks, ready for violence, convinced they represent The American Way; while more rational, thinking folks prefer to adhere to health authorities’ guidelines and stay at home to protect themselves & their loved ones. Easy to see that the former will come out to vote while the latter would much prefer absentee balloting. The obvious answer will be to eliminate the latter! If not successful, then make it as difficult as possible with complicated paperwork to register, enact additional silly requirements; and ultimately look for any means possible to not count those votes. Remember how quickly the state unemployment systems were broken by sheer volumes of applications. The same will happen with absentee ballots – also in the hands of state administrations. Are the states getting any help from the federal gobmnt for their broken finances? Could it be that Republican governors are already scheming thinking about how their underfunded systems will be simply unable to process so many absentee ballots? Is there any discussion of improving state resources for such an onslaught of absentee ballots? Instead, Republicans want the states to declare bankruptcy, thereby ensuring they will not have the resources for mail-in voting. Remember that this FAKE PRESIDENT lost the popular vote in 2016 to a very unpopular opponent (Sorry Hillary, I didn’t like you either, even if I did vote for you – just too much funny-money coming into your foundation.). A small voting segment could make all the difference again in spite of this bungling “stable genius” telling people on national TV to maybe drink bleach or indulge in UV tanning sessions.

In polling places, Americans should not be surprised to be accosted by armed men with MAGA caps, asking them if they “love their country”. Probably laws exist against guns around polling places, but remember how easy it was for relatively small, partially armed groups to convince governors – especially Republican – to quickly overturn any health directives for social distancing? And then there will be the massive Russian trolls doing their best to sow discord & spread disinformation. They will be free to operate with the Justice Department and American intelligence agencies in reign from political hacks appointed by this FAKE PRESIDENT to lead those agencies with the express mandate to allow the Russians any trolling activity. We are convinced that the Russians have some depraved dirt on their/our Chief Deplorable, collected when he was in Moscow for the beauty contest he ran there. Only that could explain how obliging he has been to Russian wishes, downright disparaging of American intelligence community activities & judgments, and downright sabotaging any & all attempts to disclose the truth of the extent of Russian hacking activities.

Let’s be clear about Russian aims. The country is a giant mafia gas station: it cannot compete on the world stage except in the military realm. That’s why instead of effectively fighting Covid-19, doctors are mysteriously falling out of windows all over the country. When you cannot bring yourself up to the level of the competition, you try to bring the competition down to your level. What better way than to have a Fake President divide the nation; denigrate the rule of law; do anything against efforts at national unity in such a critical time? The most telling incident for us was when the Chief Deplorable explained why he did not wear face masks. He said it would not be appropriate when he met with “Kings, ….”. He did not say “heads of state”, instead the first category that came to this Fake President’s simple, egotistical mind was “kings”. Because that is what he thinks of himself – a king! And we all know kings do not have any need for elections.

Ok, call us alarmist & assume the election is safe. First, what will happen when in late Summer when Americans are still dying by the thousands, economic activity is tepid (Consumers still staying away from open activities.), and polls show this FAKE PRESIDENT distinctly losing? Does anyone think he will hesitate to provoke a hot war – with Iran most likely, but maybe even China – to make him a “real” war president? Will Pentagon generals, types like our current sec/state pompous, arise to the occasion and volunteer to push the button? What will these generals do when the FAKE PRESIDENT cancels the election because of another “national emergency”, a pandemic already almost 1 year old?

Ok, call us alarmist & assume the election was safe, but the Chief Deplorable lost. Does anyone believe we will have a “lame duck” Chief Deplorable in check for many weeks before a takeover by a new administration? There of course will be the fear that honest law enforcement will arise in 2021 and look at all the deal-making by Jared in medical supplies, as well as other financial dealings; a new aspiration to accost Russian meddling in American elections & delve deep into the extent of their efforts & who they were trying to help. What frantic, audacious actions will be taken to keep tell-all books from being written, various investigations from being started, and federal employees – no longer in fear of retribution – from testifying? Will he then start a war and call the election void as a “war president” in a “national emergency”? Will he call the vote “fake” and declare it as void?

Ok, call us alarmist & assume the election was safe, and the Chief Deplorable won. The Chief Deplorable will finally & quickly build his wall, but it won’t stop us from leaving because this will no longer be the America we love & respect! And it won’t be safe either….
