The Second American Civil War Has Begun
The barbarians have stormed the gates. The security apparatus of this country is now under the control of a set of malignant narcissists who have no care whatsoever for the rule of law, indeed, they rejoice in its destruction.

I have been predicting for some time (a couple of decades now) that we were headed in this direction and that the US would fall from within. Congress, for all intents and purposes, has no checks on Trump, and as such they are now irrelevant, because Trump can now force banks to bend their knee and give him all the money he needs. The courts are discovering that Trump is simply ignoring him. What are they going to do? Arrest him?

I do not believe that Trump was legitimately elected, however, that is irrelevant now.

My belief is that the Republic, as we know it, is over. There may or may not be elections in 2026, but it won't matter, because the Dems will mysteriously lose big. The next stage is going to be a purge of military officers and a purity test to be administered for their replacements. They will be loyal to Trump, not the Constitution. That's how these things work. Businesses that had government contracts will all kowtow and will lay off anyone who isn't MAGAT, and CEOs of other companies will follow suit, because they don't want to be seen as being in opposition to a punitive, arbitrary, capricious government.

Once that happens, the next stage will be a bomb or drone attack that will take out the Capital Building (cf., the Reichstag Fire), with loyalists mysteriously out of town that day. Trump will use this as an excuse to declare martial law, suspend the Constitution, and declare himself Chaiman of the Board of the Trumplandia. Citing security concerns, he will move the seat of government to Mara Lago.

The reconstituted Congress will still be convened, but it will represent only MAGAT loyalists. The only real opposition is going to come from the States. At that point, I suspect that the West Coast (and possibly the Acela corridor) and the Canadian border states will secede, form mutual support pacts with Canada and Mexico, and will reach out to both NATO and (ironically) China for assistance. This is going to pit the military against itself.

I've been figuring that a breakup will occur, the question I was unsure about was not whether it would happen, but whether it would be a voluntary agreement or by war. I am increasingly pessimistic about this being peaceful. A second civil war will be devastating, but it is looking increasingly possible.

Calm down before you hurt yourself.

I could talk about November, Congressional majorities, and cabinet appointments and Senate votes, but it's more brief to simply say: Elections have consequences.

From their rectal apertures, per usual. I'd blame PMSNBC or CNN, but their viewership is so miniscule but devoted, they must be spouting TDS and the newest variant EDS non-stop. Every day I read the morning and afternoon e-mail newsletters from both the NY Slimes and Washington Compost, and the headlines themselves are just bat guano crazy filled with dripping anger. That warms the cockles of my heart.

The one from this afternoon was a literal panic attack from the WaPo: Here are the things FBI Director Kash Patel could do and why it should worry everyone.

Now, just by writing that headline is purely speculation based on their darkest fears by extrapolating things he has written or said (without context) to make their fellow lefties angry. Gutfeld expressed this postulate recently:

step one: foment anxiety.

step two: report on the anxiety.

step three: pretend you didn't cause the anxiety

step four: wonder why everyone hates the media

Make up what passes for your mind, DUmmy.

All I will say is. If it comes to shooting, these libatards are screwed. Even in a zombie apocalypse you want to be on the side of the Red Necks. Not a guy in a red dress.
