Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
Fire Sale
The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

PREDICTION: THIS RACE IS GOING TO TAKE A DRAMATIC TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE HAS TO DEBATE VICE PRESIDENT PENCE.
Prediction; whatever happens in November, the democrats will continue trying to destroy this country.
Not bad. I note that Obama was never questioned seriously by reporters, beacuse: black. Now, they have Biden, whose excuse is: senile. Can’t ask him anything because c’mon man.
The Covid scenario is good. His supporters will vote for him, dead or alive, so it’s not a foul out.
I stay with my theory that they’re not really running an election, anyway. They just want to watch it all burn. Elections don’t enter into it.
They want to watch it all burn…yup.
I think there is something to the theory that they drag out the contested results from Nov.3 to Jan 21 resulting in Speaker of the House Pelosi becomes Pres. It’s constitutional…..imagine?
Can’t help but think these criminals are going to do something very BIG, bigger than most people can handle. Something so BIG it cause massive turmoil on multiple levels.
Blow up a nuclear powerplant, or a couple major airports, or a series of hospitals (VA).
BIG.
What if 90% of the grid west of the Missisip is permanently destroyed?
Or google sacrifices it’s entire cloud for the greater good?
Or 3 blocks of Wall St is Dresden’d?
As Casey has eluded, they don’t just want the election, for that is just one step on their ultimate goal of national annihilation. If they can destroy the country BEFORE the election they achieve their goals even quicker.
“A good rule of thumb is to ALWAYS overestimate your enemy for if you are wrong you win even better.”

“As Casey has eluded, they don’t just want the election, for that is just one step on their ultimate goal of national annihilation.”
Maybe Casey “elided”…? And by the way, autocucumber first tried to convince me I meant “eluded” too.
The vile filth that pretend to be fellow Americans,embodied in the Speaker of the House,are quite literally,fighting for their livelihood. And whatever foul scraps of their “reputations” the fluffer media gaslights us with.
They’re already perfectly fine with civilian assassination. They’re baiting PDT;they’re baiting US.
Yes,they’re going balls to the wall,scorched earth,nothing is sacred.
It will get worse;Ghost’s scenarios are certainly possible.
Perhaps. Biden began his drooling moron phase when his Ukraine dealings began to bubble up. If the man were truly as dementia-addled as he keeps appearing,would’nt his loving family make him quietly bow out of the strenuous race? Or is it a cover to keep him from being held to task for his (and Hunter’s) foul,corrupt,and lucrative lives of pretense?
No other American President has had to endure what PDJT has.
In the process,his enemies have revealed to the American people precisely who and what they are.
They post their insanity to Twitter proudly. (See Cuomo,et al).
Keep on keepin’ on,demwits.
Have faith. This country’s in better hands than it has been in decades.
RVD, good catch. I elide nuthin. The dems are eliding the elections, because: communism doesn’t need elections. Commies only come to power through violence, because who da fug would ever vote that shi in? Some libs, yes. But they’re stupid.
Ghost, yeps. Minimum goal: disrupt the elections. Max. goal: dissolve the country and enter some godawful form of totalitarianism. Watch for some slick Senator to stand in the well, and declare that “this government is dissolved.” A new Party will be seated, and Bob’s Your Uncle we’re done with.
