kentuck's JournalThe guest speaker tomorrow night at CPAC is Donald J Trump.
What will he say?
It is being reported that his lawyers are negotiating with the DOJ.
Should the DOJ monitor Mr Trump's comments tomorrow night to see how virulent and confrontational he is with his comments, to determine his sincerity in negotiating? I don't think anyone will be fooled by his comments or his actions?
It will be interesting to see how he addresses the gaggle of extremists that have gathered to hear him speak.
What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?
It's an age-old question. To apply it to America's political reality, it would be, what happens when an ideology of conspiracies and lies meet an ideology of the status quo with rules and verifiable evidence? That seems to be where we are as a nation, in my opinion.
What are the consequences? Where does it end? How does it end?
Is it possible for it to end well? That doesn't seem to be part of the plan. It's like two locomotives going full speed toward each other and there is nothing to stop them from colliding. What happens? Calamity and devastation.
It will do little good if one locomotive decides to stop but the other continues at full speed. The end result will be the same.
What is the answer?
If FOX leaves Trump, he is finished.
He was almost totally dependent on his own propaganda news outlet for the last 7 or so years. He always had someone to cover for him and to lie for him. They kept his base in line and always gave him an audience.
If Murdoch has made the decision to move away from Trump, that is likely the end of Trump's political career. He cannot survive without a propaganda station willing to spread his anger and bullshit.
But, why now? Perhaps they believe he has become a liability, both financially and legally?
Are the days of whine and roses now over?
Who is on Trump's "legal team"?
Anybody heard?
Or is it just a PR creation of the Trump propaganda machine?
I seriously doubt that there is any "negotiation" going on between Trump's "legal team" and the DOJ. I think they are manipulating the media. That is one thing they are very good at.
Also, does Rudy have the time to defend Trump and himself at the same time??
Will Alex Jones emails and texts provide any new information in the J6 investigation?
In my opinion, they could be a mother lode of information for the Committee and the DOJ. The story is breaking fast but I imagine Roger Stone and General FLynn may be a little nervous today. Both Jones and Stone went before the Committee and both plead the Fifth.
Jones' phones could connect a lot of dots about the entire investigation, in my opinion. Maybe it will not be a smoking gun but it could be devastating.
The lies become like a huge snake that begins to eat its own tail.
Remember this story?
From Nov 24, 2020 - two weeks after the election.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/24/kash-patel-pentagon-transition-440293
Kash Patel, a White House loyalist who was installed at the Pentagon two weeks ago amid a purge of senior civilian officials, has been put in charge of the Defense Departments transition to the next administration, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
The news, first reported by CNN, comes one day after the General Services Administration allowed the Trump administration to begin talking with the incoming Biden team to begin the transition process.
Background: Patel was named chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller just two weeks ago, the day after the president fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. His former chief of staff, Jen Stewart, resigned shortly after. Trump allies were also installed in top positions overseeing intelligence and policy.
Stewart was leading the transition effort before she left the Pentagon, so it was expected that Patel would take over those responsibilities.
Alex Jones and the "Little Lie"...
Not the "Big Lie", but the "Little Lie".
He got on his propaganda station and told the world that those poor children in Sandy Hook were not killed -it was a conspiracy - and many of his listeners believed him. Just like so many more, now believe the "Big Lie".
Why are so many, so hesitant, to tell the truth?
Big Lies and Little Lies, they all do their damage.
Was the attack upon our Capitol worse then the attack on the WTC on September 11th?
Granted, there may have been more deaths on 9/11 but was it as much of a threat to our democracy as the attack upon our Capitol?
I tend to think not.
Our country was more or less united after the attack of 9/11 but is very much divided after the attack of January 6th. We should have been united but we are not. We are a deeply divided nation.
Our country has been infected with propaganda, lies, and demagoguery. They have effectively played one American against the other.
In my opinion, the attack upon our Capitol has done more damage to our country than did the attack of 9/11.
Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
It was not OK to attack our Capitol.
Those that did so should be held legally accountable.
There was no justification for attacking the most sacred place of our democracy.
No one should be above the law.
Everyone involved in the attack upon our Capitol should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Believing a lie does not make it true and does not excuse the damages from the lie.
