MEN's Shorts: Deathrace 2024

Democracy dies in debate, it seems, when it involves two gravestones

This piece doesn’t need my words to introduce itself:

Those were some of the immediate reactions on the Dem side to something that can’t possibly be any kind of surprise, rather had to be considered a stone-cold inevitability. Kyle Kulinski’s and Junk Wiggler’s reactions were in the moment, and I have to believe largely planned, and from what I’ve seen Van Jones had been talking about exactly this leading into the debate. So what is going on here?

This morning Dear Amy at Ashkenocacy Now talked the debacle with two (of course Jewish) guests:

Norm, the job isn’t defeating Trump, the job is being president for the next four years. But on the Jewish left the issue is always stopping the domestic New Hitler in his tracks, and all those neo-Nazis on the establishment right, like the infamous GOP Gas-Chamber Design Forum. 🙄

The important thing that was said there is right at the beginning, when Lehmann talked about the Biden campaign team wanting this debate so early, before the candidates had even been nominated. I haven’t really thought about this debate, and that it was occurring before the conventions hadn’t crossed my mind. So why did they really want it now? One has to consider it was to foment exactly what is happening, the Dem awareness moment, when the party and its supporters have to face up to the fact that something has to be done.

That something would be all those party core delegates there to nominate Biden deciding who the next nominee should be, instead of the voters in the primaries. That’s probably not a big deal, had Biden lived up to his promise not to run for reelection the usual suspects like Harris and/or Newsome would have run and one of them would have been nominated.

There would have been the possibility that even-more-ancient Bernie would have run again, and of course all the remaining progressives out there would have dutifully fallen in line behind his headstone; there is no other progressive for the centrists to fear. And of course there’s RFK Jr, who would have had the debates he so craved. I can hear people like Kim Iversen now, saying this was all planned long ago, just to make sure he didn’t inevitably get nominated. Here’s her pre-debate Rumble pod image from yesterday, which of course included the Shmuley-sucker:

Me, I almost don’t care who the Dems nominate, as long as it’s not Biden. Because we all should know by now who runs the country today, and it ain’t grandpa, and it also ain’t the rainbow flag of Cultural Marxism they call Kamala, whose principal point of control shares a bed with her. No, it’s Biden’s minyan: chief of staff Zients, Sec of State Blinken, Treasury Sec Yellen, Attorney General Garland, National Security Advisor Sullivan, Director of National Intelligence Haines, et al. 🕎

At least with any other cadidate there’s the hope that they could put up some kind of fight in exposing all the Trump issues, including his age, that they might take a somewhat revised view on the wars, that they’d have a living, functional brain until 2029 if elected. That’s not asking a lot, which just shows where our democracy really stands today.

And why is it like that? In my view, yet again, it comes down to this:

That’s America over the last quarter century, highlighted by two decades of post-9/11 neocon middle east wars, with the Mt. Rushmore on that being the four neocon operatives who first appeared 50 years ago including in Scoop Jackson’s senatorial office, the Reagan administration and then the Bush the Lesser administration: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and Scooter Libby (or maybe Elliott Abrams). And the 2008 Wall St. economic collapse and Great Recession, with that Mt. Rushmore being Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, Ace Greenberg and Dick Fuld. And all the Cultural Marxist madness including identity politics, social justice warfare and extremist political correctness, the lowlight of that being Black Lives Matter; I suppose its Mt. Rushmore could be Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner and George Floyd, a foursome of fabulous, honorable American citizens just like the other two foursomes.

The first reactions were the Tea Party and Occupy, but the big reaction was the 2016 election, which gave us Trump and Sanders, meaning the Trumptard oppositionalism on the right and the progressive oppositionalism on the left. Trump in turn was melded with Putin to create Russiagate and the Twin New Hitler paradigm. That rolled into impeachments and then the politicization of covid; that would not have happened in quite that matter without the “existential” 2020 election at the same time. On the Dem side, the deep state selected candidates, Harris and Buttiplug, were rejected by the Dem electorate, Sanders again pointlessly mucked up the desired process, his faithful took down Warren just as she was becoming the frontrunner, late entry billionaire oligarch Blumberg wasn’t sellable, so the default became loyal ol’ Joe, aided by the Black-Jewish Alliance prols in South Carolina, just as covid hit hard.

Defeating Trump meant the pain would be extended, because he wasn’t going to go away. So we saw the second impeachment and all the prosecutions. Biden was great in deep state eyes, because he wasn’t really running the government, their operatives were. So we’ve seen the resulting excesses, the headline being the neocon bloodthirtsiness in Ukraine and Gaza. But pushing that another four years was simply a bridge too far, because Biden’s game clock had hit the two-minute warning even before the election process started. And everyone knew that.

So now the real election process begins, now that the dirty little non-secret has been exposed to sunlight, unintentionally or intentionally. I can’t imagine Biden won’t be replaced, but the mechanics aren’t yet clear. As someone said since last night, the best way would be for “wise men” in congress (there aren’t any) to go to the Oval and convince Joe he’s gotta go; that’s what would happen if DC was what it was in the 20th century - see Nixon. But it’s not that anymore, and the main reason why there no longer are any political giants in congress gets back to the same thing - the first test of a congressional career is the AIPAC test, and that eliminates anyone of real character and ethics and belief in the rule of the people and not the Chosen People.

If Biden bails and releases his delegates then we’re back to ground zero on the Dem side, with the caveat as I said being that all of them are Biden-supporting centrist party hacks. That may not actually matter that much, because all that does for certain is to eliminate distractions like Bernie and RFK. Instead there will be some serious smoke-filled rooms and behind-the-scenes maneuverings. But in the end we are living in an Ashkenocracy, so the winner will ultimately be chosen by the Chosen, people like this… exactly like this, in fact (note the top five - Haim Saban, George Soros, James Simons, JB Pritzker, Donald Sussman):

And if Biden doesn’t cooperate, well, that’s where things would get really interesting…
