This is the stuff I receive routinely:
"'...the Wall Street Journal editorial board ran a unique defense of Donald Trump in which it contorted itself to argue that while the president may have “wanted a quid-pro-quo policy ultimatum toward Ukraine,” people should consider the possibility that he “was too inept to execute it.” Most individuals facing impeachment would be grateful for this ridiculous theory, especially considering the evidence thus far suggests that Trump did demand a quid pro quo from Ukraine for nearly $400 million in military aid, a fact acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney just came out and admitted to the press before trying to walk it back after realizing how bad it sounded. But Donald Trump isn’t most individuals. Instead, he’s an abnormally sensitive lunatic who flies off the handle at the slightest provocation, real or imagined, and would rather people think he’s “like, [a] really smart” criminal than dumb and innocent. And we know this because apparently Trump saw the editorial and insisted as much.'" This was sent to me by a person I know who has gone, full-progressive zombie. I have yet to understand why the quid pro quo is a problem. It is how foreign policy is accomplished. As the head of the US federal investigative and justice agencies Trump has every right to pursue mutual help from other nations, especially nations like Ukraine which have mutual police investigation treaties when an American has potentially committed a crime like Biden and son had committed. I am not saying Biden committed a crime, I have no idea if he did or not, but what he did merited an investigation. Would I, as President, have broached the subject with Ukraine directly? No, but that doesn't mean it is wrong, and it certainly does not mean it was criminal. After all, it is in the President's job description. For me, that would be something for my staff at DOJ to handle, and I would only step up to the plate after the DOJ pleas had fallen on deaf ears. This, of all issues, is making a mountain out of a molehill. If this is the new standard, there is no foreign policy negotiation that could ever sustain this scrutiny. You can raise these issues with me all you want, they are of very little interest to me, however. And like the Russia Collusion canard this torpedo will circle around to blow up more and more progressive icons, and in the end, likely blow up the progressive Presidential candidate in the 2020 election. For some unknown reason, the Democrats have lost their minds and seemingly believe that one of these nonsensical issues will be sufficient to bring down a President they despise. I've lost count as to how many of these issues there have been are we past a baker's dozen? To middle America, the independents, the libertarians, the classical liberals, the conservatives and everyone outside of the far-left progressive fold, the issues which need to be addressed are corruption in the federal bureaucracy or what is know as the Deep State, and the soft coup which was pursued against Trump from the day of his election by the CIA, Brennan, Clapper, the Deep State, the State Departement, the DOJ, and the FBI (this is an incomplete list). The soon to be released reports from the DOJ Inspector General will most likely be a bombshell. This will likely be followed by the Durham Investigation, which will put teeth into the IG report and come with arrests and charges. As Scott Adams says, the nation is watching a movie. But the progressives are seeing something the rest of the people are not seeing. So, the two groups are watching two different movies on the same screen, at the same time. The progressive left has all of the noise today what with Antifa clubbing old people and normals, the SJWs shrieking and caterwauling, the leftist media making unsupportable claims, outright slanders and libels, and the Democratic politicians playing dress-up theatre. But reality cannot be staid. Middle Americans will not be so easily thwarted. The last three times we saw culture wars like we are seeing today occurred immediately before the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and WWII. The obvious, but not necessarily accurate conclusion is we will again see some sort of actual physical conflict or war. Perhaps, I believe this is likely the case, but not necessarily the case. What I do know is historically every 80 years or so; the forces of liberty come into direct conflict with the forces of authoritarianism/totalitarianism for a "final" conflict. This triggers a war, which both sides view as existential. But the fight favors the side of liberty because people who have liberty have something real to fight for while the average person who supports totalitarian control does not. The totalitarian power will flow to only a few; the average person desiring this outcome has little to fight for. This means, all things being equal, liberty has an advantage and usually wins. What makes this conflict the odder still both sides always claim they are on the side of liberty. The Brits did in 1776, the South did in 1860, and the Nazis did in the 1940s. Yet we know they were on the side of authoritarianism/totalitarianism. So, how to determine which is which? One only needs to look at which side demands its adherents lie to the people, which side demands the end of free speech, which side demands the end of self-protection, and similar human, natural, and constitutional rights, which side demands compliance with quickly changing standards which erode the society's cultural and moral values, which side demands that facts do not matter, but what matters are feeling? Again this is an incomplete list. One side will fit the bill; the other will not. We are in the beginning phase of an existential war, I hope it will be a cold war in the US, a hot civil war would be bad indeed. While a hot foreign war would be bad, it would be the lesser of two bad outcomes. The worst outcome would be an American civil war which triggers a larger global war, and I believe this is exactly what an American civil war would produce. Russia and China would find a hot American civil war too good an opportunity to not take what they wanted, so they will. The result would trigger a catastrophic world war compounded by a catastrophic American civil war. It seems it is never so bad it could not be worse. Progressives in their zeal for totalitarian control need to understand this potential outcome. I do not thing knowing this will change their actions. The progressives are willing to risk all, even world war to gain the totalitarian control they desire. I expect all of these issues will be wrapped up by 2030. Our world will suddenly look very much like America circa 1950 with modern appliances and conveniences but otherwise, very 1950. The only question is will the Great American Experiment in Liberty continue or will we be a 1950s rerun of Soviet authoritarianism? Or in the modern vernacular, will we follow the plot of The Man in the High Castle? Choose wisely.
