I always wait for the moment when Hilary Clinton's skinsuit dissolves and out slithers the reptile within, like the aliens in the original "V" series. I bet she swallows rats whole as well.
Something is really building to a fever pitch. It's in the air. Those guys setting themselves on fire are going to seem real quaint by December.
I wrote something along this line the other day: TDS is Reagan Derangement Syndrome. With the exception of maybe Bob Dole literally every single Repub presidential candidate is portrayed as Satan incarnate. I know, I was raise in the radical left, I saw it from the inside. Curiously they don't have enough self-awareness to realize the world didn't end if they lost the election but next election, back to Dems vs. literal Satan. I don't get how they can't hear themselves.
Without a doubt, this is my favorite place on Substack. (The idea of calling these newsletters seems so 20th century though.) Just had to say it. I get a small dopamine hit every time I see a Chris Bray email. It is not just the quality writing and great insight--it is the great 'after party' here in the comments.
Like CB, I also voted Gary Johnson in 2016. I just didn't have the bandwidth to pay hyper attention in 2016--was just retiring from the military and trying to adjust. Clinton is evil, and I found Trump to be a boar--but I loved 'The Apprentice' before it became a celebrity shitshow. DJT offered many great lessons about business & life. It is the only TV show I ever fantasized about being a contestant. I voted for him with as much enthusiasm in 2020 as I could manage--while believing he was the butt of an international/deep state COVID take down. He blew the COVID response big time.
Benjamin Franklin is my favorite founding father. He strikes me at the epitome of 'American'. Clever. Industrious. Polyglot. Successful writer, businessman, scientist, politician, diplomat.
Trump, for better or for worse, is the epitome of the 80s successful American. He is iconoclastic, bombastic, rich, and arrogant...but he's also SUPER FUNNY, a brilliant communicator, and understands people better than any PhD in Psychology. Basically he is what nearly every MBA student from 1985-2015 wants to be. In many ways, Trump is the 20th/21st Century Ben Franklin.
To hate Trump is to hate America--the wealth, the bombacity, the arrogance, the historic iconoclast our country is. He is us. He is the best of us, he is the worst of us.
I downloaded the PDF of the “Steele dossier” as soon as Buzzfeed published it, and it was the most comically bad “report” I’ve ever read. I’ve read declassified intelligence cables, and they’re highly organized reports that submit evidence and an explanatory narrative, whereas the Steele file is akin to a list prepared by a grade schooler. Disjointed (supposed) factoids, no explanation, no backup evidence or description of witnesses. HRC’s campaign supposedly paid $7M for the file, and I can’t tell who got
f—ked worse, HRC or DJT. In any event, the people who believed that file WANTED it to be true so badly they disregarded all of its obvious physical defects in addition to its utter implausibility.
God, in His infinite wisdom, perfectly described how it would be at the end of the age...
An example from the book of James: Their... “superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices.”
From the book of Romans: “...they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].
“...in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin]...”
Whether you believe in a Creator or not, you must admit His book, written 2000 years ago perfectly nails what we can now plainly see with our own eyes.
“...they made simpletons of themselves.” That’s a line Chris Bray could’ve written today, but it was penned 20 centuries ago.
Amazing how Hillary and associates project onto Trump all the things she has done or they want to do. It just shows how her mind works and what her soul entertains. Evil.
These are the politics of a failed state. Hilary Clinton is a laughably stupid clown among a political class populated exclusively by ridiculous clowns. The sad events of this weekend have proven that no one person, be it Trump, the Spirit of George Washington or the Risen Christ, can overcome or even stand against the rule of the degenerate clown class. The sheer inertia of the ride down the elevator shaft powers the polity of our near future.
The Democrats having been calling Republicans fascists and warmongers since at least Reagan. What’s different is their utter contempt for Trump. That contempt, as Trump often points out, is directed at his supporters as much as it is directed at him. Put aside the absurdity of the charges against him - and they are absurd - imagine the outrage if a judge was as disrespectful to Biden versus as Engoron and Merchan have been to Trump. The message to Trump’s 80 million or so supporters is that neither Trump nor anyone who supports him has any rights, including the right to be treated decently. The ignorant elitist buffoons believe Trump will jail his opponents or suspend their rights probably arises out of their subconscious knowledge that the people they hate and demonize are decent people and that anyone who is as depraved as they (the buffoons) are deserve to be punished.
Projection is just gaslighting by another name. They accuse Trump of planning to commit all the crimes against the Republic they do every day. Congress has been turned into a bureaucracy without term limits or even mandatory retirement. We need a ‘bigger boat’ as they say.
101 Republicans in the House voted for the foreign funding package. I guess Mike Johnson didn’t think to get them Ukrainian flags to join in the full celebration. Please give me a valid reason why I should even care about voting in November. As many have said before, we aren’t going to vote ourselves out of this.
Trump also wants a government run medical system alongside a private one. And gets booed for that. I was in a cult once. Fifty years ago. No one booed the cult leader. They like Trump. A lot. They don’t love him though, and regularly disagree with him.

Other oxymoronic cries of the demented true believers:
Trump is a Nazi----kill the Jews!
Voter ID is racist-- brown people aren't capable of figuring out how to get an ID
you're a science denier --men can menstruate and have babies
I'm a vegan because killing living things is wrong---abortion is my right
Hands off my body---take the vaccine or lose your job
They are absolutely certain there are no absolutes. There is no truth except MY truth.
I can't tolerate your intolerance.
I hate all you hate filled people.
Perception is reality and only my perception counts.
There is no reasoning with such unthinking, closed minds.

There’s a reason why that scene in “Mars Attacks!” where the martians lay waste to all of Congress is one of my favorites. Wishful thinking …
Great Post!
I tell people that I don't care if the president I vote for is an SOB, I only care if that person is doing right by the USA !

Every time I read this I find another dumb typo. BRB, going out for a neurology consult.

The GOLDEN SHOWER thing was in KIEV with HUNTER because he’s got Daddy issues.
There’s a video of the shower with narration from Hunter on his laptop👍
