The Elephant in the Room
There’s a saying that if you find yourself digging a deep hole and you can’t get out the first thing you should do is put down the shovel (stop digging). – Unknown
Have you gone to the mountains or found yourself on a narrow dirt road or trail where it’s obvious that other drivers have created deep ruts as their vehicles have bogged down and at some point they have high centered (frame on dirt contact)? Suddenly you too have high centered.
What do you do? You try to back out and failing that you must think of the best way out. Calling AAA doesn’t work (no signal) and there are no other vehicles or people around. Do you pray? But will God hear you (remember no signal)?
There may be many options available, but one many choose is to abandon the vehicle and walk back the way you came in. An experienced driver will pull out a shovel and start digging dirt from under the frame, rocks to put behind the pulling wheels and/or gather branches to put under the wheels. Hardcore off roaders will look for a tree, boulder or object to anchor the winch cable and then pull their vehicle out of the rut.
Politically speaking politicians haven’t learned those lessons. The deflect blame on their opponents, slander or smear them personally, professionally, politically and as a last or final resort they employ Lawfare against their enemies.
Just who are their enemies? Conservatives cite the Constitution as the Rule of Law and nobody is above the law. Liberals cite beating Trump at any price, while marginalizing their voter base and demonizing the voting base of their opponents.
It’s clear that unless you are a dutiful Democrat voter toting the party line, you aren’t qualified to be treated with respect and are or may soon be a threat to their Democracy (power), just as anyone of the MAGA persuasion. They call us deplorables, unpatriotic and even want to deplete potential voters by abortion (up and until after birth) – that’s called murder.
It must be disheartening for them to see that MAGA supporters are of every race and every political party coming together with Trump to undo what Biden has done to America in order to make our country great again.
What goes around comes around and from what I see coming around are the same labeling as 2016 & 2020.
From the Democrats come the allegations of Trump wrongdoing, followed by Russia election interference and then continued allegations of Trump lying about anything and everything while ignoring the Biden elephant in the room. Biden’s cognitive decline is apparent to everyone and after the disastrous “debate” his own performance let the cat out of the bag (so to speak).
Afterwards Biden said “I’m fine, it’s just my brain!”
Biden handlers in the White House said he was just tired and Biden said Trump yelled at him.
We are told that Biden is at the top of his game from 10AM to 4PM and his daily schedule for today begins at 11AM and runs until 8PM with leaders in the NATO summit Biden is “hosting”.
Also from the Democrats come threats and allegations of potential Russian Election Interference over the Swing States by a former CIA chief of Russian investigations? Sound familiar?
Nothing has been said about the Democratic Election Interference by state prosecutors and judges in the form of Lawfare trying to keep Trump out of the White House.
I remember when Pelosi and Schumer were among legislators pressuring VP Pence to call on the 25th Amendment because Trump wasn’t fit to execute his duties as president.
Yet when asked about Biden dropping out, Pelosi said “she wants Biden to do what he wants to do.” It has nothing to do with “for the good of the country” either. The Democratic Party is divided by Biden’s decline and a potential for a VP Harris takeover.
George H.W. Bush might have called these tactics “Smoke and Mirrors” to detract and confuse American voters. – RTM
