What Caused the Political Hysteria? Karma, Nemesis, payback . . . and all that stuff.


The Left has gone mad over Donald J. Trump—past, present, and future.

The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump “conservatives” assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails.

Accordingly, they believe that any means necessary are justified to stop him. And furthermore, these zealots, when out of power, insist such extraordinary measures should not be emulated and institutionalized by their opponents, much less ever boomeranged back upon their creators.

In this context, the Republicans retaking control of the House of Representatives once again raises the question whether they should reply in kind.

Given the current investigation following the Mar-a-Lago raid, should there also be a mirror-image special prosecutor to examine President Biden’s lost stash of classified documents in his insecure office following his vice presidency?

Can House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) ever be considered too inflammatory, given that his predecessor, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tore up the president’s State of the Union address on national television?

How many Democratic House members should be denied committee assignments to remind the Congress that Pelosi’s rejection of Republican nominees was a terrible precedent?

How many congressional subpoenas with threats of criminal prosecution and performance-art arrests should be issued to Democratic politicos to stop the criminalization of political differences?

In our current age, will all former president’s private homes, closets, and drawers now be subject to FBI raids to ensure that “classified” documents were not wrongly stored there?

Are Joe Biden’s current homes also a logical target, given his sloppy handling of classified foreign policy papers—eerily reminiscent of an abandoned laptop belonging to son Hunter Biden and daughter Ashley Biden’s lost diary?

Was it ever a good idea to impeach a first-term president the moment he lost his party’s majority in the House—but without any hope of a conviction in the Senate? Would such a similar impeachment send a warning to Biden to honor his oath of office and start enforcing U.S. immigration law?

Does a phone call now an impeachment make, on the grounds that Trump mixed domestic politics with foreign policy?

But was Trump’s Ukrainian call that much different from Barack Obama’s 2012 quid pro quo in Seoul, South Korea, where he asked the Russian president to convey a deal to Vladmir Putin: stay calm and give Obama space during his reelection bid while Obama in turn would be flexible on missile defense.

Putin did just that and put off invading Ukraine until Obama was reelected. And Obama made sure there was no joint missile defense projects in Eastern Europe. Was that deal in America’s interest, or Obama’s own and thus similarly impeachable?

Or consider Joe Biden mixing foreign policy and politics on the eve of the midterm elections. For example, he kept draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to dangerously low levels while begging hostile foreign dictators to...

He'll be the first presidential nominee I vote for since the last Bush run. I'm only doing it because he did take out RvW. I doubt if he will stand his ground, the courts will support justice in election, or that any other institution in the US will allow a fair election, so I don't think it matters.

He had a chance to try to bring back law and order, right to the electoral process, and pissed it away. I don't see how he can win, at this point. Still, that's... the way it has been for a very long time. The sleepers don't notice, and the corrupters are in on it.

I won't vote for DeSantis, I don't consider him American. Much like Cruz. Doing good things, let him stay a governor, and help lead other governors. But he shouldn't run for prez. Look, George Washington, and the other first presidents, also wouldn't have considered him American. Though, I don't think it matters. We'll see, I guess.

I'll vote for Trump again as he is for making Americans and America always first. He is against war but is for a strong military. He is for a solid southern border wall and following US Law and the Constitution. He also started to move the Admin agencies out of DC but as with everything was fought with the Deep State, Congress, as he was being attacked by media and being impeached for nothing.

I want Trump to continue his work and then DeSantis to win next time. I worry that the election process corruption of voting is gone and if we end up with another selection of a Dem or UNIPARTY we will end up in CW2.
