The stupid Beltway GOP Establishment, but I repeat myself,
is finally standing firm on something – unfortunately, what it is
standing firm on is its failure to listen to its own base. The base is woke and
the Establishment’s a joke. I speak to a lot of conservative groups of various
types and flavors: hardcore tea partiers, patriotic vets, loyal radio
listeners, besieged students, brass New Yorkers, even rich country club types
who you would think were into Jeb! – you know, diversity. And lately, I’ve
tended to start off my talks by posing this question:
“Okay, who here agrees with me that the left wants us
enslaved or dead?”
Every hand goes up.
Every single one of them.
That’s our base.
Folks, our base is hella woke.
And they love Trump, because Trump has delivered the
oven-fresh, piping hot conservatism they ordered.
Now, these were not all Trump fans from the get-go. The vast
majority were initially like me – extremely suspicious and leery of the outrageous
Manhattan tycoon. But, as I described in the first chapter of book Militant Normals, I came around because Trump delivered – something the GOP
Establishment never did. Trump came through with the most conservative agenda
of anyone since Reagan – maybe more conservative than even St. Ronnie – and he
won me over. And he won the base over. They love him.
Love him.
He fights.
He wins.
The Establishment never does either.
So, we’re now two years into what we hope will be eight
years of awesomeness. The GDP is exploding. We’re rebuilding our military yet
avoiding more idiotic wars that the geniuses in DC thought were a great idea
for us and our kids to get killed fighting with our hands tied behind our
backs. We have scores of new judges and have rolled-back bushels of
regulations. Unemployment – for every kind of American – is setting record lows
not seen since Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit tried to rock a miniskirt. And the
constitutional abomination that was the soft coup disguised as a scandal was
finally blown out of the water by a gravely disappointed Robert Mueller.
It appears the situation might be resolved, but it never
should have arisen. With the party unified and rising in the polls, and the
fake RUSSIA! scandal finally behind us so we can move forward with the
conservative agenda we were promised, what do the Fredocon jerks of
the GOP Establishment do?
What they always do.
Screw everything up.
You probably don’t know Senator Richard Burr (R-Chamber of
Commerce), because he’s utterly undistinguished in everything except his total
commitment to doing the bidding of his corporate donor masters in service of
reinforcing the Establishment’s grip on power. He allegedly represents North
Carolina, but he is actually the Distinguished Gentlemen from Open
Borders.
And he’s a sap.
He’s chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee – go
ahead and insert your own oxymoron joke – and it was with him that Donald
Trump, Jr., agreed to give 20+ hours of testimony about the whole bogus RUSSIA
TREASON EMOLUMENTS TRAITOR COLLUSION lie on the condition that his testimony
was once and done. In the end Mueller, who would have gleefully charged Don Jr.
with anything he could have found or invented charged Don Jr. with nada.
So, after Mueller reluctantly put a stake in the heart of this garbage scandal
– because you know Mueller and his pack of Democrats was slobbering at the
thought of a Trump scalp – what did Burr decide to do?
1. Celebrate the total exoneration of the President of the
false charges made against him by Democrats and their lying mainstream media
transcriptionists?
Or
2. Decide to play along with the Democrats’ craven and
malicious effort to keep the lie alive by subpoenaing Don Jr. to testify again
about claims made by Federal Convict #86626, aka Michael Cohen,
currently a resident of the old stoney lonesome for lying to Congress,
as part of an attempt to frame the President’s son for perjury?
“Well, gosh,” you might think, “Only a
Democrat-collaborating hack, or slack-jawed idiot, or both, would choose Option
Two,” but then you remember we’re talking about an Establishment bot like
Richard Burr.
Of course, the usual cruise ship conservative crewmembers
gathered on the Lido Deck to opine that this was all perfectly legit and just
fine and gee, how could anyone imagine that what is manifestly a perjury trap
designed to revitalize a failed bogus narrative could be a perjury trap
designed to revitalize a failed bogus narrative? Why, we should defer to our
wonderful institutions because the people who run our insitutions only want
what’s best for us.
Except our institutions are garbage.
There’s our lesson from the last two years. The ruling class
that runs them ran the institutions not for our benefit but for its own, to
preserve its own power and position. The institutions and those running them
are entirely responsible for our legitimate contempt – they deserve no respect,
no deference and no obedience.
That’s the feeling of the GOP base, DC insiders. You might
consider interacting with some DC outsiders sometime because you don’t seem to
get it. The base is furious. And now this North Carolina nitwit decides to side
with the Democrats against the base just as we were all finally coming
together? Does anyone think the base will just shrug it off?
This kind of nonsense is just part and parcel of what Never
Trump is. See, though Burr is apparently not running again in four years, he’s
laboring under the delusion that by then America will come to its senses and
welcome him and his gooey ilk back into unchallenged power. He’s counting on
some sort of Establishment payback down the road – a nice job on K Street, an
appointment as the token GOP Secretary of Mediocrity for President Creepy Joe,
or maybe some CNN hits along with Ana Navarro. He’s burnishing his credentials
as one of the Republicans the ruling class can always count on to submit and
obey.
He’s Mitt Romney without the dog tormenting. BTW, Mitt was
last seen voting against a federal judge nominee because of True Conservatism™ or something.
Never Trump is just another flavor of narcissism, and Burr’s
selfishness will shaft the rest of his Senate colleagues most of all in 2020.
He doesn’t care – and he expects the Senate collegiality he is ignoring as he
hurts his team will protect him from the blistering criticism he deserves from
other Republicans. Pity poor Thom Tillis, North Carolina’s other senator. Most
of us already suspect he’s squishy. Tillis has to run in 2020 and now Burr’s
brought this Schiff-storm down on him. Burr’s behavior was bad enough that
Tillis offered tweets in protest,
which is a big deal among senators. When Tillis loses, he can thank his good
buddy Burr the Blue Falcon.
Other senators better tighten-up and turn on the pressure.
Martha McSally faces a tough run next year – where is she on this? John Cornyn?
Better surf the zeitgeist, and the zeitgeist is all about fighting back. I give
Mitch McConnell (who Hugh Hewitt accurately assesses as the best GOP Senate
majority leader in a century) a pass, since he has to wrangle a Senate caucus
composed of both sissy weak-hearts and sturdy heroes, and he needs to fight
this fight his way even if we don’t fully appreciate his moves right now. But
you know Cocaine Mitch must be livid at Burr; down the road, that tool will be saying “Hello” to Mitch’s little friend.
We’re woke to the Burrs too, and sooner or later we are
going to purge them all.
Want to experience exactly what the left would do if given a
monopoly on power? Check out my action-packed yet super-snarky novels about the
United States’ split into red and blue, People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. The squishes will tell you my vision could not possibly be
true. The hacks who sank the garbage scow flagship of Conservative, Inc, TheWeekly
Standard, call my books “appalling.” Could there be any better
recommendation?
