Rants of a Fuzzy Curmudgeon

about all the new information dumped by DNI Tulsi Gabbard last week about how Barry O and his crew were shoulder-deep in the creation of the “Russia Hoax” is that there will never be a conviction of any moment in the case.

Barry and Hills and all their top-level butt buddies will never spend a moment in prison.  You know that.  Whether you like it or not, it’s probably the truth.

But if we work it carefully, we can ensure their reputations — already in the toilet — can make it all the way to the septic tank and just fester for the rest of time while everyone knows they were traitors who tried to pull off a coup of a sitting president — and mostly succeeded until the 2024 election.

The bottom line is that we MUST succeed in making it clear that no one — not even Barry the Shitbringer — is above the law.  And in case you were unclear on that, let’s review the left-wing record about just how a former president is not above the law:

Would I mind seeing perp walks of these clowns?  Nope.  But I know the perp walks will never result in actual punishment, so it’s not worth the trouble.

Just destroy their reputations and tie everything they did back to the left-wing Ass, er, Democrat Party.  That will suffice for me.

over the Epstein files, MAGA.

Sarah Hoyt has questions. So do I.

Because there are questions.  Do the Epstein Files exist, or was that a Swamp attempt to get egg all over Pam Bondi’s face?  (There’s egg on her face, sure enough; question is whether it was self-fried.)

Even if the Files do exist (and I’m not unwilling to say they do, but also not unwilling to point out they might not, or might be a Deep State fabrication), how tainted are they at this point after four years of the Obama/Biden apparat pawing at them?

And if there’s really something in there that’s damning to Trump, why wasn’t it brought to light during the last four years?  Look how much untrue and misconstrued crap was thrown at him by those twin twits in NYC and Atlanta.  (Atlanta twit got a mug shot out of it.  That mug shot, along with the events of July 13, 2024, cemented Trump’s win last November.)  You can bet if Trump were implicated in the diddling of underage girls on Epstein’s private island, that information would have been out, front and center, even if it meant exposing a bunch of Democrats (maybe even Bill Clinton!  Throw that scumbag under the bus, already), too.

Kash and Bongino aren’t going to resign if Bondi stays; that’s already been confirmed, and Trump has already made it clear Bondi is staying.  To say the contrary was yet another Deep State head fake.  There’ve been a lot of those, lately — have you noticed?  Lie after lie after lie about things supposedly happening in the Trump Administration that on further examination and rebuttal just ain’t so.  (One of the smartest things Trump did this time around was to establish Rapid Response teams — for instance, this one — to debunk the lies in near-real-time on X and I presume on other social media outlets.  And they’re doing a fine job.)

The thing that’s starting to dawn on people about social media — like X — is that the platforms are international in scope.  And many people/bots with accounts there lie about their origins.  All those supposed conservative MAGA types who are ranting about how Trump has betrayed them…are probably North Korean or Chinese or Russian bots.  Because most of MAGA (and plain old small-L libertarian conservatives, like me) can smell the bullshit emanating from them.  We’re pretty sure Trump doesn’t intend to betray us.

But Sarah makes a very good point.  She blocks comments from a wide range of international IP blocks and “sanitizes” her comments section for her readers’ protection (because there are a lot of idiots who try to spam her comments with their spittle-laced stupidity, and most of them are — quelle surprise — from outside the US).

And she’s not getting the kind of pushback in her comments one might expect as someone who flatly contradicts the supposed-“MAGA” anger with folks like Bondi.  Who flatly contradicts the idea that “Trump is losing MAGA if he keeps doing ‘x’,” whatever “x” happens to be today.  Who believes we have to stay the course and trust the man to do the right thing — especially given the problems he had in his first term that he had four years to plan workarounds for.

Her hypothesis, of course, is that all the screaming about Trump and his abandonment of MAGA on X and other social media outlets is coming from overseas, and is neither organic nor legitimate.  It’s all a psyop meant to cause Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about Trump among MAGA and MAGA-adjacent voters.  And it’s failing.  Because MAGA and MAGA-adjacent voters VOTED FOR ALL OF WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

We’re WINNING — and that has the Left absolutely frantic.  They’re stumbling all over themselves trying to figure out how to break MAGA.  And everything they try is failing.  Including what they’re saying about the Epstein files.

Honestly?  At this point, I don’t care about the Epstein files.  And neither should you.  Because there are plenty of other things going on that need to be dealt with.

• Overreaching District Court judges.
• The fact that there are still millions of invading foreigners inside our borders, and that there are actual, literal insurrections against the use of federal power (as opposed to BS insurrections like J6) going on in the state where the worst illegal alien problems are.
• The fact that China and Russia and Iran are still assholes. (So is Ukraine but too many people want to give them a pass.)
• The fact that there were a bunch of White House apparat in the late, unlamented, last maladministration who misused Joe Biden’s Autopen to sign things like pardons that should never have been signed — and all of those people need to be facing long stints in the Federal pen themselves.

It’s like…consider tariffs.  Those giant tariffs “everybody said” were going to raise prices and the inflation rate.  Guess what?  They didn’t.  The US had its highest tariff returns in years over the last few months.  Inflation and prices in the stores barely ticked up, as opposed to what they were doing during the Biden (P)residency.  (In fact, I saw several articles that pointed out the price of imported goods actually went down over the same period.)

Yet “everybody said” tariffs were going to doom the US.  Just like “everybody says” Trump is losing MAGA support.

Spit out the fucking black pill, already.  It’s licorice, and I hate licorice.  And so should you.  Have some faith that, as being reported by legitimate outlets, things are going the right direction, even if it doesn’t look that way from your hazy view from 30,000 feet.
