Joe Biden delivers “one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in modern US political history”
Watch it. Remember it. Understand that Joe Biden is trying to provoke conflict, he wants it, his handlers want it. They launched this campaign about a month ago. It’s calculated.
Joe Biden’s speech tonight, claiming to be a presidential address demanding free network coverage, was so far over the top its almost indescribable. It wasn’t just an attack on another candidate, it was a Declaration of War in demonic terms on the roughly half of the electorate who voted for that candidate.
Nile Gardener had it right:
“Joe Biden’s address in Philadelphia tonight is one of the most menacing, bitter, angry and divisive speeches in modern US political history. Hard to believe that a US president can stoop to this level, condemning tens of millions of Americans as enemies and a threat to democracy.”
Please watch it. I know you don’t want to, but you must. You need to know. Almost everything he accused “MAGA forces” of wanting are in fact what this president and his party have advocated.
I hope Stacy Abrams and Hillary Clinton were listening to @POTUS discuss how wrong it is to deny election results.#bidenspeech

The phrasing was what you would expect in a dictatorship preparing the ground for persecution and purge.
“MAGA Republicans…embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

At the same time, it was pathetic. Christina Pushaw aptly described it:
We are in the American version of the late Brezhnev era. “Led” by a doddering, paranoid, angry fool with aspirations to be a dictator and a sprawling unaccountable bureaucracy all too willing to prop him up.
The visuals were dark, ominous, and militaristic.
There’s nothing unusual or wrong with a President delivering a political speech — it’s inherent in the job description — but doing it against a backdrop of two Marines standing at attention and the Marine Band is a break with White House traditions. pic.twitter.com/s3TSYHtkcA

The major networks had the good sense not to show it. As far as I could tell, only CNN and MSNBC carried it live.
Because it’s a garbage speech by an evil person trying to tear the country apart and demonize half the population as illegitimate. Good for them for not showing this crap https://t.co/wSOJDAYWkT

WTF was that? Horrible, Nasty, Mean, Repulsive, Vile, Disgusting, Evil, Unamerican and every other ugly thing I could imagine.
How many votes for Democrats did he get for the mid-terms?
Probably many millions. Suburban White women are incredibly angry about Dobbs, I mean foaming at the mouth furious, and I’m sure they are now all-in. This was calculated and poll tested before they did it. Everything Democrats do is poll tested.
“Suburban White women are incredibly angry about Dobbs”
Well maybe they need to be aborted.
If you could find any without purple hair, nose rings, and tattoos.
The fact that they don’t want to procreate is a good thing
I don’t know any suburban white women who are frothing about Dobbs. Maybe they exist. If so, they need to take a rabies shot and a civics lesson because Dobbs didn’t outlaw a damn thing.
You can always tell an angry suburban woman, and tell her and tell her, but you can never get through to her because she won’t listen.
I used to be fairly middle of the road on Abortion, until a middle aged white Catholic women explained her support to me.
She leaned in and whispered, “Without abortion what would we do with all the little black babies?”
That completely reframed the abortion question for me.
Gnome – sure those angry suburban women can be told something. When the Socialist/Communist Party (SCP) tells them all sorts of lies they not only listen, they believe,
MatMusson: It’s always been about “undesirables” being “culled”, going back to before a certain Austrian with a funny mustache made clear the ultimate purpose of the eugenics movement. Even with a hostile search engine it’s trivial to find quotes from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger talking about using abortion to advance the human race by weeding out minorities and other “flawed” people.
The only “women” I’ve ever seen frothing about the Dobbs decision are sub-human mutants that will never need to worry about needing an abortion they’re so ugly.
Is this the irony of the “keep your hands off my body” types. mmmmmmm, OK!
My local coffee shop has a poster in the public notices section that states “abortion is healthcare.” I should mock one up that says “meth is mental health.”
People are not bees (insert loud invective of your choice)! It is neither productive nor useful to lump people into blocks of ‘thoughts I hate’. It simply is not a true representation of anything other than the unwillingness to speak face to face with other humans.
LOL. Like the rest of the crap they have been saying and doing that got Biden down to absolute rock bottom support numbers for anything sitting in the Oval Office with a (D) next to its name?
If they poll tested anything about this speech they did it with the inmates of some criminal psychiatric ward or just self-identified leftists.
Well yes, they probably did just test it with the Dem base. It was aimed at that base, to get them to the polls in 2 months. They know Republicans will hate it, but Republicans only vote once no matter how mad they are, so they don’t care. They need something to create some blue-wave craziness with those who might be stirred.
Those women were already voting and voting for democrats anyway, so, no.
Considering how bad the polls are, I wouldn’t count on their poll testing. Besides, who the heck even watched it? MSNBC, CNN and YouTube? That’s it?
How do you know they’re women. Are you a biologist?
After this speech, how sure are you that a) there will be mid-terms, and b) that they will be real?

I remember under Bush, Obama, and Trump how there were fears that elections would be cancelled. I laughed at all of them.
I’m not laughing at the moment.
My concern is they will swamp the system with a gazillion votes out of somewhere, and their won’t be time to verify the accuracy of the registrations, until long after the voting is over. Then it will be too late. The courts will aid and abet the theft.
Milwaukee (my home town) is right. It happened before only 2 years ago. It will happen again.
I’m absolutely convinced that there will be elections. I am also more than slightly convinced that they won’t matter. It’s not who votes, once again.
That Stagecraft was right out of Nuremburg. It was like Leni Reifenstahl was producing “Triumph of the Shill.”
The only thing missing were the swastikas.
They were there in the prop room, but hidden behind the Obama foam columns.
no, it was like Visconti’s The Damned.
Exactly what I’ve been saying. There are no more elections.
Of course we cannot be sure the midterms will be real. The torture of Jan. 6 participants is surely intended to scare off protests about cheating they’ll do in 2022, 2024, etc.
Well, he IS a democrat. Those are all common traits of those disgusting subhumans.
Textbook Democrat Communist projection. Every single thing he said (or his puppet masters said) can be directly and provably assigned to the past, current and future leftist actions. Pantifa, armed with weapons now, are their shock troops. The FIB their enforcers, the Soros AGs, their minions, the teachers and media, their propagandists.
Expect even more as we approach the 2022 election, and even more, perhaps frighteningly so, as we approach the 2024 election.
And the dreaded ChiComs and the Russians will not have to lift a finger.
There are certainly elements of communism but it appears to me that the Democrats are also trending fascist. They seem to rely mostly on failed ideas of the past. At the risk of sounding too hyperbolic, it is not that much of a stretch to say there are more than just a few parallels also to NSDAP policy–a socialist political party– in this administration. The Democrats support revolutionaries (ANTIFA, BLM, et. al). This administration advocates specifically for socialism and also the separation of races. It often spouts anti-capitalist rhetoric, unless of course it relates to big business, which they use to their advantage. The Democrat have successfully commandeered the education system, theatre and film and the press, all areas that Adolph Hitler specifically cited would be “used as means to an end” to restoring “morality” to the nation. Joseph Goebbels once said to “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” Of course, no history is an exact replay of the past and, as is often said, it rhymes. Unfortunately for us there don’t seem to be enough people in this country that have even a basic knowledge history to be aware of where we are likely headed. There does seem to be a lot people though that can name all of the members of the Kardashian family (I can not).
Communist vs. fascist? For all practical purposes they are the same thing. It’s why they hate each other so much, because they are fighting for the same audience, the same useful idiots. Communists claim to be working for the “workers of the world” (i.e. the USSR), while the fascists claim to be seizing power for the good of the nation (i.e. Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s 1000 year Reich). The communists take direct control of businesses, while fascists tend to allow the businesses to pretend to operate as usual but of course they take direction from the government.
But in the end, they both crush individual rights, especially religious liberty, and murder/starve the undesirables. There is nothing “right wing” about the fascists. It’s all about power and control.
Except for the bizarre polities that combine Stalinism and hereditary monarchy that exist in North Korea and Cuba, all totalitarian and authoritarian urges are now expressed as fascism. Even the Chinese Communist Party is actually fascist rather than communist. Why? Because Communism and socialism don’t work, for precisely the reasons Hayek and vonMises told us they couldn’t work in the long-run even as Lenin was making a go of trying in the Soviet Union.
Fascism, on the other hand, actually works because it doesn’t destroy the market, even if it shackles it to the interests of the state. So, whether it’s Xi’s “communist” government working hand-in-hand with Hwawei and ByteDance, or the FBI getting Facebook and Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story, or Justin Trudeau’s government getting banks to close the accounts of critics, everywhere the forces of illiberalism are combining corporate and state power, just as Mussolini said should be done, rather than having the state take over the means of production.
The Democrats took over education, media, culture and entertainment because Conservatives abandoned the field.
Hard to add to that but I am going to offer additional commentary.
Regardless of “political affiliation” , I cannot see any rational thinking human with any internal degree of character, decency, respect for law and traditional American values as well as basic human rights listening to that “diatribe” and not realize that this really is a replay of Nazi Germany with the same end in mind.
I will even argue that this is now a harbinger of the Antichrist.
If this does not throw the sheeple from their rack and bring them to their collective senses- nothing else is going to. This was the greatest “unmasking” in history and there cannot be any doubt as to where Brandon and the left are coming from, where they are at and where they are going now.
Now I am going to look very close at the GOPe/RINO caucus and watch individual reactions.
For this…
I have to believe “some” of the GOPe/RINO caucus are no more than the traditional “politician for hire” type we have always had but are not intrinsically either leftist or Anti-American.
Clearly, some are leftist Manchurian agents ( but in reality a wolf in sheep’s clothing was never a sheep to begin with so technically they could not be a “RINO” because they were imposters)
I say that to point this out. Any “legitimate” GOPe/RINO (by the definition above) who doesn’t realize that eventually they too will be targeted for the next iteration of the “Night of Long Knives” is now willfully deluding themselves and will walk blindly into their own demise.
Are they going to actually do something now?
THAT is the question.
It’s just as Trump has been telling us all along. They aren’t coming for him, they are coming for us. Dark Brandon is the devil we’ll have to face all alone if we fall apart fighting this. The law is truly the only thing standing between us and the devil. Trump is the guy terrifying them right now because he is doing a hell of a job fighting with the law on his side. If we abandon him and go with our #2 choice, we throw away our best fighter engaged in what will likely turn out to be the final legal battle. And then they are coming after us. It’s not mean tweets that Trump nor DeSantis that scare these Nazis, it is US.
We have a couple of solid fighters lined up and there should be more as we go on and Trump buys more time for us and people become aware of what is really going on. We need to be rallying here, not going weak-kneed. Trump has a lot of fight left in him and is forcing them to reveal their true Nazi character. This is no time to abandon him. Every day he survives gives us more time to prepare a stronger replacement if we need one. THAT is what is terrifying them and why they are coming after US. They are getting weaker and we are getting stronger. They are running out of time and have decided to go all out berzerkers with Angry Grampa.
Dark Brandon just declared war on half of America and certainly more than half after last night’s performance. We need to hold our ground. The next move isn’t ours. It’s theirs. They just may be the frogs being boiled to death in their own cauldron. We have to keep the heat on them through to November and wait to see how bad our current Congress will be after so many of them are replaced. That will be a tough two months.
Yeah
This has to be the ultimate “cold shower” moment and a stark snatch back to reality.
Any person now who claims to be GOP and conservative who doesn’t stand up now and start taking affirmative action ( I don’t mean harsh words and obscene finger gestures or strongly worded letters) needs to be replaced.
I took his words as a literal statement of intent that he intends to bring violence and force to achieve his goals and the ends justify the means in the “name” of democracy and equality.
The lies and outright falsehoods he spoke actually shocked me.
I think that they are all cowards. Each one of them is their own god, with a plan for world domination that magically ends with each on the top of the pile. But none of them are willing to get their hands dirty. They just assume that some icky cop or solider or IRS agent will do their dirty work. And they are actively denigrating many of those same people, especially police, the military, and the national guard.
If they had any guts then they’d have killed Trump in early 2021.
This is desperation. They are losing, and they know it. It is afraid.
Well said.
I disagree. We are not supporting Trump, and he does not want our support. He showed how much he wanted the support of the 1/6 victims that he’s never helped. “If I get back in I might pardon them!” Or you might not, but what you do when you WERE in? If those docs were declassified when you took them, why haven’t you RELEASED them, otherwise it does us no good at all.
Trump talks in 80% sentences. DeSantis quietly engages in 100% actions. Trump’s too old anyway. I think I wish him well, it looks terrible that Biden’s FBI raided his political opponent and we should exploit that to throw out Biden and reform/replace/remove the FBI. Trump should be backing the man in the prime of life, DeSantis.
“I will even argue that this is now a harbinger of the Antichrist.”
There is no need to argue.
I freely state I don’t have the heart to watch it.
I can only stomach small snippets. Like any other poison, it is the dosage.
I had to force small bits too
This was truly an eye opening revelation for sure.
He sounded like a dictator, inciting violence, giving violence justification. What a cruel, dishonest and dangerous man. When will he turn to the Jews?
oldschool, WE are the Jews.
That is because he wants a violent response, so he can send his troops in to crack down. Don’t give it to him.
If “ something should happen to him” I’m sure it will be false flag. He’s expendable at this point.
Why don’t his handlers just paint concentric circles on his forehead and explain it’s all part of his new superhero costume?
He’s not really expendable until late January if they still want Harris to get 10 years in.
I think Harris would be very hard to elect unless she’s an incumbent i.e. they’ll want Biden out well before 2024. Not sure they think that far ahead, they wanted Biden to resign shortly after inauguration, they got really mad when he didn’t, they tried to drop the Forbes Ave. bridge on him in Pittsburgh. But it seems the Obama faction has taken over anyway; what Biden gave was largely an Obama speech, but without Obama’s voice-control skills (and a bit of race card helping) it sounded as horrible as it was.
Sorry Grizzly, fat finger mistake! I totally agree, his time at post is short and it will come from his side.
Yep. He became expendable the day he became elected. Mission accomplished. And that’s what frightens me. The Democrat Party and the deep state are one and the same and I would not put anything past them. They desperately need to be rid of Biden, and they also need a pretext for civil war. You do the math.
Yes they’ve been trying to kill him for about a year and a half; he was supposed to resign in favor of Kamala. But with this speech, I don’t see him as any better than Kamala, plus his dirty laundry in Ukraine could make him worse.
I’m not convinced that his recent rhetoric hasn’t been marching orders to his antifa troops to attack.
He’s going to send his troops in, no matter what.
Not always, but in most cases the character of an older man can be judged by the character of his children as adults.
Excuses can be made for Ashley given the “inappropriate showers” she was forced to endure with the pedo in chief but Hunter is a good reflection of dear old dad.
He has yet to acknowledge his grandchild. Maybe he is sparing her.
I would agree, but I doubt his incestuous pedophilic urges would be superceded by what ever remains of any compassion he might have.
Yes, trash begets trash, and you don’t get trashier than the pedophile-in-chief.
Just because he didn’t WRITE about his showers…
Quite often children of high achievers are themselves high achievers. I think the differences between Trumps kids and Biden’s kids are like night and day as to be utterly shocking at just how different those kids are.
As I told my rabbi years ago, “straight white christian conservative men” are the new Jew. I see it a lot in businesses where the minions can “act out” on me since I cannot check any boxes and therefore can’t complain. It just drives me closer to getting a bunch of buttons printed up which say “My preferred pronoun is Doctor.” Nothing more annoying than being lectured to by someone with a GED and very little work ethic.
“It can’t happen here”. Really? It’s happening.
Biden will be the last president of America as a 50-state union.
He may be your president. He will never be mine, for I do not consent to be governed by a retarded, moral-free pedophile.
FOX should have televised it. The wider the audience the better. Opportunity lost.
That’s ok, the Leni Riefenstahl version will be on Netflix and Amazon Prime this weekend.
With all the subliminal suggestions…
“Mr. Ken… Burns, please pick up a white courtesy telephone. Mr. Ken… Burns, please…”
Fox broadcast had college football, they pay hundreds of millions in rights fees for that plus they would have to make good for ads bought and not aired. Tucker is Fox News highest rated primetime show, he would easily outdraw Biden.
“…he would easily outdraw Biden..”
To be fair, anyone would outdraw the potato.
The Potato was fired. Stelter is gone.
Oh. THAT Potatoe.
They should have televised it notwithstanding.
Sorry oldschool. Meant to be an upvote.
Agree. Light is the best disinfectant.
Everyday I ask the Lord to end his days and deliver this nation back to democracy.
Alas, Satan is not finished with O’Biden, yet.
“Everyday I ask the Lord to end his days…”
You are not alone. If wishes came true at least half the planet would drop dead on the spot 🙂
I’d rather bring it back to being a Republic.
Has there ever been any independent corroboration that Corn Pop was in fact a “Really Bad Dude”. I have my doubts.
Hell, there is no “corn pop”, period. Just another of the potato’s lies.
Not so sure about that. Not as he was described, but an early victim of Brandon’s bullying. Probably tried to do something about the little children that were being forced to touch Brandon’s golden legs. And was then summarily destroyed.
Destroyed? By that broke-dick punk?
I’m sure. 100% sure. The dope biden always lies.
Maybe Corn Pop was a really good dude, protecting the kids from the pedophile life guard. Just sayin……
Another summer of riots against Republicans brought to you by the White House.
Fall
Winter, if the Republicans take the House and Senate.
Is it 25ty Amendment time yet?
Is there a single Democrat in the houses of Congress who will finally speak up?
No.
Yeah, but then we get Kamala. She can definitely be worse. I’m willing to be argued out of that assessment.
The people pulling his strings know is inept and over his head. That’s why they have power, they are using him. Once they replace him, even with Kamiebaby, she will be harder to manipulate. They prefer their power to the good of the country.
No, it’s never 25A time. The 25A is designed for two situations:
1. The president is unable to function but also unable to resign, e.g. he’s in a coma or babbling in a straitjacket. If he’s able to resign he can just do that.
2. A beloved president is unable to do the job but doesn’t understand that, and refuses to go. Since he’s so beloved Congress doesn’t want to disgrace him by impeaching him. So the 25th gives it a way to remove him with honor. It takes more votes than doing it by impeachment, but it’s more dignified.
In Biden’s case he’s clearly capable of resigning, so the first scenario doesn’t apply. And taking him out the hard-but-honorable way would need Republican votes, and I don’t see why the Republicans should help the Democrats in this way. He’s the Dems’ problem, they should be stuck with him.
If you’re still talking about the 25th amendment, Congress has no role in the matter unless and until the VP and Cabinet vote to remove him and he formally objects.
He’s pretty damned close to that “babbling in a straight jacket ” scenario
But, that is a feature.
Republicans should help because this man is destroying the country every day. Kamala could be worse. But maybe not.
Definitely worse. How could she possibly be better? She’d be handled by the same people who are handling him.
The only thing removing him does is lift a weight off the Democrats. There is nothing in it for Republicans in helping them do that.
Don’t forget something:
Joe Biden is NOT in charge.
This speech was written by his masters, for him to parrot.
They are setting the stage for what’s coming. Expect anything. From political persecutions to assassinations; from IRS audits to cancelled elections.
And before you say: “That can’t happen, not in America.” think very carefully. Most of what is happening today, what they are getting away with, it was all unthinkable just 10 years ago.
Venezuelans used to say “That can’t happen, not in Venezuela. We have a democratic country.” Look where they are now.
So yes, they will do it.
In fact, they are already doing it.
As I said earlier, someone woke up the zombie, gave him his lines, and pulled his string.
Not to mention doping him up to the max so he could get through it. Notice they had his wife walk him out so he wouldn’t get lost.
With due respect, he is fully engaged in the process. He apparently believes the faux historians that he can eclipse FDR. But his decisions are almost always wrong, as we know, and he is dishonest to the core.
That is not to say that those around him are his pawns. They, too, are full participants. Hopefully, people will see through the charade and not allow this last gasp to wreak additional havoc.
I couldn’t agree more with your assertions. When this fool speaks…it’s coming straight from Obama, Rice, et al.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
they got high on power from eight years of Obama in charge, many thought it would be another eight with Hillary. Instead they got a four period of withdrawal and have been at warp speed making up for lost time since January 2021.
This is what they come up with after hiding him for a month? Do I sense another drop in the polls?
In a sane world, yes. This is not a sane world we live in.
They needed to hide him for a month to wean him off his drugs so they would have full effect today.
This is far, far worse.
They are screaming to the heavens that they no longer CARE about ‘polls’.
This is about power, and they are not going to give it up peacefully.
“Almost everything he accused “MAGA forces” of wanting are in fact what this president and his party have advocated.”
No, not advocated. They have already done or attempted to do so.
For some reason he and his string pullers are not confident all of a sudden.
We need to get jharp’s ball washing take.
Is he getting high marks from his base for stirring them up? Is this red meat for them?
Anecdotally, I just got off the phone with a Dem family member of mine who called to talk about how disturbed they are about what that disgusting spectacle.
The indirect red light background, the brick wall, the Marines standing behind him…. it doesn’t take a genius to read the intended effect.
Democrat presidents love the Marines. They carried orderve trays for the Clintons, were umbrella stands for Obama…
And what exactly is he going to do about it.
Vote Republican? Or continue to be a good little Democrat.

Has Brandon scheduled the anti-MAGA Kristallnacht yet?
Antifa needs to know. November 9 would be after the midterms. So it will have to be before then.
He is throwing out bait. Trying to incite violence from his political opponents so he can put the hammer down. Don’t fall for it. (by “he” I mean his handlers)
I’m afraid the bait will become BLM / Antifa violence. Do the rest of us stand there and take it?
I’m not asking rhetorically. I really want to know.
Biden declared war on half of America. I don’t know what will happen, all I know is that I won’t be surprised.
“Don’t start no s–t. If it starts around you and you are in danger, finish it.” After the organic waste impacts the rotating airfoil, they will do what they will do. And we will do what we will do. And only the Great Blue Sky Tengri Nor knows what the outcome will be. That last sentence is related to my “handle”.
Subotai Bahadur
Yr handle fits — well chosen.
They want us to react so he can declare Marshall law and suspend the constitution, take our guns and lock those up who refuse to hand over
They will keep
Pushing and pushing and pushing till the dominos fall
You’re probably right; however, it’s martial law.
He can’t do that no matter how we react.
Martial law can only exist where the courts are unable to open. The minute a court opens its doors, martial law is over.
I seldom disagree with Mulhouse, but this time I do. If the Regime declares martial law the courts will be irrelevant. This time.
Article I, section 9: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”
Now, exactly who gets to suspend Habeas Corpus is a question: Lincoln and Grant did so during and after the Civil War, and Roosevelt did it during WWII. But Dubya was overruled when he tried to do it after 9/11.
In your example, martial law combined with a suspension of Habeas Corpus means that the court doors are open, but the court has no power to compel the production of a prisoner — and of course, without that power, the prisoners’ rights are whatever the state says they are at that moment.
Just like Emergency Use Authorization of vaccines is only valid when we have no approved treatments for a disease? Wait, there is a fully approved vaccine, Comirnaty, so why do we still have three others still out there and available under EUA?
Milhouse, I defer, as always, to your knowledge of the law. However, there is one fundamental problem with ALL governments. Ours is no exception, although the Founders did an astounding job of attempting to control the problem.
The problem is that Government, at its essence, is granted a monopoly on the use of force. If you and I have a contract and one of us does not perform, the other cannot directly legally use force to “enforce” the contract. We can, if the government is so inclined, petition the government to use force. It has the monopoly.
The fundamental problem is: “how do you (peacefully) constrain the entity that has the monopoly on force?” Bottom line, at the end of the day, you cannot.
In our “system” (as in most/all) the use of force is wholly in the Executive Branch. They have the guns and a huge number of them. There is NO constraint on the type and lethality of weaponry the government chooses to have. Nuclear weapons.
The US is pretty unique in that the populace is also armed, to the extent that the Government permits them to be. Government hates that, has done much to constrain it.
Bottom line: If the Executive decides to use its monopoly, there is nothing to stop them. The Legislative and Judicial can issue paper, but they have no guns.
Jackson’s quote about Worcester v. Georgia is likely apocryphal, but it is on point:
“John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”[
If you’re talking about the administration simply ignoring the law and the courts, then they’re not longer bothering with the forms, so they wouldn’t bother “declaring martial law”. They’d just pull their guns and say “Do as we say or we’ll shoot you”.
If they’re not doing that it means that they’re still operating within the law, and if they’re operating within the law then words mean things. Martial law is an actual legal thing. And it cannot exist where the courts are able to function. The courts will not allow him to declare martial law where they are operating. And they won’t allow him to shut them down either.
Steve, Lincoln’s suspension of habeas was almost universally agreed to be unconstitutional. He acknowledged it himself, but did it anyway. I’ve never heard of Roosevelt doing it, of Dubya attempting to do it. Grant had no need to, since Lincoln had already illegally done it.
Grant and Roosevelt did both illegally impose martial law, and in both cases the courts struck it down. It took them a while, but now it’s settled law. The next attempt to do it will be struck down within hours.
I still hold the belief that the first answering shots will NOT be some tough-talking swaggerer with the camo-ed 4WD pickup with rifle racks and cold dead hand stickers.
It will be some quiet, meek, shopkeeper or CPA type who finally has had enough.
Then in come the F15s…….
To Dimsdale: and the CPA or shopkeeper engages the F15 in a dogfight, using a highly modified AirCoupe! His wingman, flying his Cessna 120…

Everywhere, I see, “he’s baiting you so you will be the first to use violnce, don’t take the bait.” This is the concern-troll version of Q’s “trust the plan.”
What does it matter? He simply dresses up as us and stages another false flag. Just like January 6. It doesn’t achieve anything for us because it isn’t planned for our success, but it achieves everything they want whenever they think it’s time.
Sitting back and letting the other guy play both sides of the board is a really stupid way to try to win a game.
Just want to echo what Subotai Bahadur said. Don’t start nothing … finish it. Brandon is making targets out of American citizens.
No, you don’t. But, you also don’t stand there like a doofus that trusts the system and let yourself get persecuted, either.
I haven’t trusted the system since 1968 and a family matter I will not discuss here. Let’s just say that my remarks in other threads about justice being for those who can afford it was devised at that time.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think so. If some black-bloc-clad fascist tries to get in my face, stop me from going about my business or tries to physically harm myself and my family my answer is the same. Take one step back to give myself room, pull out my concealed weapon and shoot the piece of garbage right in the middle of the chest. “Your honor, he acted in a menacing manner and made me fear for my safety, I used deadly force because I was given no other choice.”
The idea that anybody who votes against you is a threat to democracy is… quite a take.
It’s only incitement when Trump (allegedly) does it.
Amen
Now, for the big question: will Trump for once keep his yap shut and just let Biden’s speech soak in?
Or, will he need to make some quip to get in the last word?
I don’t think that Trump has that much restraint. He is his own worst detractor.
We can but hope…
Donald J. Trump on Truth Social last night:
“Someone should explain to Joe Biden, slowly but passionately, that MAGA means, as powerfully as mere words can get, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! If he doesn’t want to Make America Great Again, which through words, action, and thought, he doesn’t, then he certainly should not be representing the United States of America!”
I agree totally that most of the time Trump should restrain himself. When they handed out “restraint” the man was nowhere to be found.
The upside is that most of the time his intemperate, ill considered, outbursts say what the “normies” are thining.
Last I checked The dems are in total control of the government. So WTF is his point?
What has the progressives worked up so much that they think this disgusting and vicious attack against a fictitious “enemy” (which demonizes at least half of the nation) is a worthwhile endeavor?
What’s the end-state that they seek?
I’m dusting off my copy of ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich’ to remind myself how this works.
Trying to motivate his base to turn out in November. The man is a thug at heart, and this is what he thinks motivates people.
What has them worked up?
“Our Democracy” is more than the vote in the eyes of the Progressives..
In their eyes, it is the expectation of your and my complete, unquestioned submission to their “will of the majority” and its “moderate” views, with civility.
In practice, such “democracy” actually operates like the group projects of our school days – which nearly always ended up with one or two people dominating the process and defining the “will of the majority”, and everyone else passively trusting them in grand Flounderian fashion instead of actively securing their legitimate interest in the success of the project.
However, if a right is unalienable, it is to be protected even from the outcome of a majority vote. Protecting such rights supersedes implementing and/or enforcing the “will of the majority” if a free society is to remain free.
This flavor of “democracy” reshapes debate from Left vs. Right, to Normal vs. The Other That Deserves No Respect. And it’s a short walk from that Normal to ends-justify-the-means actions against The Other, as we have already seen with the socio-economic isolation known as “cancel culture”.
Joe Biden and his supporters have become the fascists that they decry, because we know what “unalienable” means and we refuse to submit.
In fact, if you run into someone who think this speech is spot-on … ask them what “unalienable” means, and see if they understand. If they do not, do your best to enlighten them about the significance of its meaning,
The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the Courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights, may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.”

Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
–HUCKLEBERRY FINN
You racist!/s
I got my hard copy of Huck Finn years ago before the dem’s book burnings start. After that speech, probably this weekend.
Huck Finn was mandatory reading when I was in school. At least I think it was. I was and am a compulsive reader. I read it over and over. Mark Twain was brilliant. He could write a story fascinating to children containing very deep and adult messages.
Rocky and Bullwinkle was pretty spot-on with regard to delivering messages to children and adults at the same time..
Pure distraction to incite the Dem targets (basically 74 million voters), thereafter justifying their seditious response to quell the “violence”.
Read between the lines…they are projecting what they plan to do next.
Armed pantifa “guarding” a pedophilic drag queen show was the first indicator.
Funny I don’t hear Biden or the other gunphobic leftists harping about that…
Never will. This speech – if you can call it that – was pure political bravo sierra posturing to excite his base (those cretins) and incite half of America, while creating a news cycle distraction from the talkers, who will blather on about this for a week. The Hologram will exit for another vacation as the drugs wear off. He’s a puppet for certain, yet it’s those behind him (Rice, O, and a pile of other Marxists) who will continue unabated in their plan to destroy America.
We can’t let that happen, either directly if we have influence, or indirectly by supporting those who can effect change.
#PedoHitler is trending on Twitter right now. I saw this by accident but it’s true and I laughed.
Hopefully enough in America see this senile, tyrannical jerk for who he really is.
The memes are glorious. Coming in hot…
Did anyone expect anything better from a dementia-ridden, retarded pedophile? F*ck Joe Biden and f*ck anyone that supports that immoral pedophile bastard.
just a friendly reminder for fjb:
“you will reap what you sow. “
And then some…
It sounded to me like a Trump is soon to be indicted and a warning that some people might get violent speech.
Funny how he never condemns the real violence on his side. Always the pretend violence on the other side that never happens.
But you keep being you.
Could you be any more tone-deaf?
“Some people might get violent.”
Did you actually mean this or were you simply unclear in your comment?
He meant it. As in:
“They’re going to indict President Trump, so don’t you dare think about protesting or daring to try anything violent like your insurrection on J6, else you proles will be crushed by our loyal government troops!”
I think “you” meant “Joe.”
Time to fire up my F-15…
“Time to fire up my F-15…”
I’m surprised he didn’t drag an F-15 out on stage as a prop……..
I’m sure the Marine props had empty firearms.
“Aviator Joe” might be enough….
Did’t Aviator Joe fly a twin-engine DC-8 Super Constellation fighter in Korea?
The world is in flames and this clown is instigating violence against half of America. Really working hard to solve problems, eh Joe…you bum.
Why is it people think he’s trying to incite us to violence so he can crack down with troops or declare marshal law, as if that’s his only option?
We saw in J6 that the gov’t could infiltrate and embed agitants in a peaceful demonstration, set off flash bang grenades, open doors and escort protesters in, shoot and kill an unarmed protester, lie about police being killed during the demonstration, etc.
I wouldn’t be so worried about incitement as I am about the government, who in the last 6 years has demonstrated numerous counter-operations, political and violent, as I am worried that they’ll stage something violent, blame conservatives (MAGA) and create cover for their response.
Where they really have nothing and all they can do is yell louder about nothing, it seems to me their only remaining move is to manufacture what they want and claim “we called it”. Sound FX, smoke, crisis actors, and a complicit media they could fool the masses into thinking civil war had started.
Cripes. Look at the horseshit they peddled with Covid and people lapped it up. Didn’t it strike you as strange with Covid just how quickly they rolled out graphics of the bug, signage, standardized messaging … even the directional arrows they applied to the floor in grocery stores converting aisles to 1-way and maintain social distancing. They were prepared and rehearsed.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they stage something – and this speech tonight – is a repeat of all their forecasting / wishcasting they did before Russia invaded Ukraine – to give the impression of being in the know and correctly predicting Russia’s next move. But it strikes me like a poorly written and more poorly acted stage play.
Never forget just how many pieces of shit RINOs like Romney and McConnell swore up and down that this demented dictator wannabe was a ‘moderate’ and ‘a good man’ and ‘somebody we can work with’.
Not to mention that many of those pieces of shit spent YEARS or DECADES in the Senate with the pedophile and most definitely knew what a lie that was.
Forget “modern times” ….Will someone show me a more vitriolic address by a president? Milhouse…please help out on this. I can only think of the Japanese herded into concentration camps by FDR…but size wise I can’t .
There was a reason for that
The Japanese thing was not vitriolic and it was not an address, so it’s not even comparable.
Pure evil
Who chose those Nazi colors?
Asking for a friend….
Just one toothbrush moustache away from a full police state, but then, Hitler had to start small too….
I know the military is not supposed to get political, but good Lord, how can any service member who takes seriously his oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic just stand there and go along with that perverted pedophilic POS?
FJB deserves the firing squad.
Chain of command.
I couldn’t stomach more than the first dozen minutes.
He is trying hard to instigate violence of any kind so he can cancel an election that might not fall his way.
So what is better for the DemonRats:
1) Charge DJT before the election to encourage turnout by his socialist rabble or,
2) Risk a huge turnout at the elections by R’s and Independents who will reject his indictment days before an election?
DJT will see his day in court, I don’t doubt for a minute that Garland will do whatever he is instructed to do and they will try to swing the criminal case with a District of Collusion jury.
There’s no question that this “speech” wins that competition by miles.
It was also the most insane. This guy is totally off his rocker. Very dangerous stuff … very, very dangerous.
It was a speech Jefferson Davis could have given. And so it was completely within Democratic Party tradition.
It’s not the number that is the problem. Hell, there are tens of millions American leftists who hate this country and have done everything in their power to destroy. All votes for Biden (as was true with Barky) were votes to kill America.
No, the problem is not the number, The problem with Biden’s attack is that he’s lying about every aspect of it and, even worse, that he and his ilk are guilty of every single thing he is alleging. Leftists hate the Constitution (they long have) and they hate America. They are looking to “fundamentally transform” this nation (the few who not nihilists just looking to burn it all down like they tried over and over in 2020) because they have always hated everything about America and Americanism.
The left are enemies of America and no one is wrong to point that out. We are about to be treated to the left coming at the rest of us, full-force with the power of government, in order to destroy whatever they can.
There will be a national divorce. It is impossible to live with leftists. They are no countrymen of mine. I have nothing in common with Western Leftists, at all, and want to have absolutely nothing to do with them.
GOP leadership and the Republican National Committee need to start fighting fire with fire. If the vile, dishonest, narcissistic & totalitarian Dumb-o-crats are going to unfairly vilify and malign conservatives with the lame, contrived epithets and slanders of “MAGA Republicans,” Ultra MAGA,” etc., we conservatives need to start fairly and accurately labeling Dumb-o-crats as “Anti-fa Dumb-o-crats” and “Pro-riot, looting and burning Dumb-o-crats.”
“GOP leadership and the Republican National Committee need to start fighting fire with fire. ”
That will not happen.
In CA, we call the GOP the “Please don’t hit me again” party.
Time to face the music. GoP leadership is on their side. We are attempting a patriotic takeover of the party and they don’t like it.
I wish more right leaning people understood this.
People are blinded by the “team” aspect of it. Just like in a football game people boo when their team gets a fair penalty or act all outraged when a fair call goes against their team. I think a lot of people just can’t deal with their emotions regarding different teams. It is unfathomable that somebody on their team might not really be on their team. Or maybe the truth is just too hard to face? I don’t know.
“GOP leadership and the Republican National Committee need to start fighting…”
There’s differences between playing hard, playing dirty, and playing at all. We need the opposition to start playing at all, playing to win, playing hard, but not playing dirty.
You don’t have to box dirty, like they are. You do need to protect yourself from the cheap shots, and hit back, clean. Perhaps even “hit back twice as hard.” It’s gotta be righteous: a famous Lightbringer said to do this.
The only way the Democrats can have the violence they want is if they do it themselves. I expect Antifa riots and false flag attacks by the same as the election approaches, with increasing intensity as time passes.
That will be the stated justification for imposing ultra-vires and fraud-promoting election measures to “protect our democracy” and ensure the Democrats keep control.
It remains to be seen what will happen with the LEO-enabled agents of non-LEO agencies. They effectively constitute the civilian army Obama so desired and are not subject to posse comitatus. I do not expect the Democrats to waste them.
Uh Oh. The Jooooooossss better watch out.
Looks like Civil War 2.0 has been underway quite some time now. It’s just that one side refuses to respond to the aggressions and the territories conquered. To recognize that it’s even going on.
Not long ago, my parents passed away. They both served and sacrificed for their country collectively for decades, Mom in a civil capacity, Dad in the USMC. They loved our country, and they were both Trump supporters. I served my country as an armor crewman in the US Army, and I voted for President Trump as well.
Biden thinks we’re all semi fascists and a threat to Democracy.
Go fuck yourself Joe.
Having grown up in the heart of darkness (Kali) I learned early on that if the left had an official sport it would be projection. Man, do they go through some gymnastics to justify their hate. They marinate in hate. To feel good about hating they have to imagine their enemies, and make no mistake they consider us normals enemies, are worse people than they are.
Nobody is worse than they are. Welcome to your new upside down trans world. Tear a page from the black conservative handbook. No longer give a f**k what names they call you.
I say that as a Christian. So-called Christians like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden think Christian means doormat. Surprise! My God is no doormat.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” – Isaiah 5:20
17This is My command to you: Love one another. 18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.…
Gospel of John
Did anybody guarantee you an easy life? If you’re getting hate directed your way be glad. You’re doing something right.
Virtue signaling for them is the ultimate hypocrisy.
The only thing I can say is that at least I did not vote for him (or de Blasio or Cuomo),
Lincoln urged states NOT to secede (and MO, MD, KY and DE did not).
Roosevelt did NOT demonize Irish-Americans and German-Americans, many of whom, were originally not so sympathetic to British/Allies during 1939~1940.
They were politicians/leaders who built consensus and unified our country. Biden is a doddering tool.
This was one of the worst and most polarizing speeches by a president whose idea of unity is my way or the highway
It’s a page right out of Truman’s whistlestop campaign speeches of 1948 where he accused the northeastern liberal Republican nominee, Thomas Dewey, of being a Hitler wannabe. The New York Times headline of the October 26, 1948 edition: “PRESIDENT LIKENS DEWEY TO HITLER AS FASCISTS’ TOOL; Says When Bigots, Profiteers Get Control of Country They Select ‘Front Man’ to Rule DICTATORSHIP STRESSED Truman Tells Chicago Audience a Republican Victory Will Threaten U.S. Liberty TRUMAN SAYS GOP PERILS U.S. LIBERTY”.
https://www.nytimes.com/1948/10/26/archives/president-likens-dewey-to-hitler-as-fascists-tool-says-when-bigots.html
One of the guys who works for David Horowitz wrote an essay a few years ago in which he was able to find direct quotes from elected Democrats describing Republicans as fascists, Nazis, Hitler-like, and so forth. in almost EVERY presidential election since WWII.
It’s not new. They use it to gin up hatred for their deranged base to get them to turn out to vote. If it provokes another left wing lunatic to try to mass execute a baseball field full of Republicans or assassinate a Supreme Court justice, then they’ll say it was just a mentally disturbed lone wolf that had nothing to do with Biden and the Democrats stoking hatred of their base against Republicans. But if it provokes someone on the right to go McVeigh and Oklahoma City 2.0, then they will say they were right all along.
It’s evil. I just wish more people understood or cared how evil they are.
I think what is different here is that Biden is not attacking his opponent or the opposition party as Nazis, etc., He’s attacking the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Did Truman do that? What purpose could there possibly be to call tens of millions of Americans a “clear and present danger” to America? Let’s think.
When Biden says “unity” that means no dissent on such issues as CRT, gender fluidity and climate change or a foreign policy predicated on appeasement of terror and China
His speech was unhinged, depraved and quite scary. Typical of the unrestrained left.
You want to know the left?
Here’s the left in pictorial essays. Odd name but massive site:

I found him to be ever so dreamy; yet forceful and virile. His speech sent a thrill up my pants leg.
I didn’t watch it.
But seeing pictures of it … wow.
The menacing optics would make Hitler blush.
see this speech as more of a preemtive “justification/authorization” from on high(a la mad maxine) for voter intimidation/interference in the upcoming elections on a scale not yet experienced in our country (“JOE said these republicans/maga people are the enemy!”)
can’t speak for anyone else but(along with several concerned neighbors) will be onsite at our polling place from the moment they open till the moment they close
Hay Biden. stay the hell away from Philadelphia.. you keep coming here and we don’t want your ARSE here.. go somewhere else like the border. You have been here 4 times already because its close by and you THINK we voted for you but didn’t no thanks to the harvesting that took place
“Oh death, where is they sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory”?
Seriously, we are all waiting here. Time to get a move on and free up a certain soul. If the room’s not ready just make some space amongst the bishops’ skulls and let the worms have an early start.
Democracy. Will of the people. Except if the people elect legislators who ban abortion or same-sex marriage.
When a Democrat says “democracy” (esp. if preceded by the word “our”) he does not mean rule by the δῆμος, he means rule by Democrats. Thus to a Democrat any faction of the Republican party with a good shot at winning elections is ipso facto a “threat to our democracy.”
After some reflection, I came up with this:
This declaration that we are two very different peoples inside one set of borders will not in and of itself trigger a civil war. Especially in view of the fact that Biden backed off today and now claims that he does not view any American as a threat. This is protective coloration. He is seeking deniability for when government forces and their auxiliaries commit false flag attacks to either allow the forces of the State to begin the purge they lust after, or to trigger patriots to try to defend the country. A long, long time ago I rather unartfully came up with an acronym in the heat of an online discussion that achieved some permanence. I probably could have done better, but it is still around. It is “TWANLOC”. I submit that y’all may want to look it up to understand our situation.
It is the actions of those in power that will trigger any kinetic unpleasantness that happens. I fear two things that would make it unavoidable. The first is attempts by the Left to kill patriot leaders at all levels up to and including President Trump. The second is a cancellation or blatant theft of the elections. Either would make the division immediate and irreconcilable.
Then there is the second order of possible bad consequences if there are real elections and if the Republicans take control of Congress. In that case, if the Republicans [as I more than 50% expect] refuse to oppose the Left and continue with their collaboration OR if the Left just ignores Congress and functionally rules by decree; peoples’ patience will be about gone. Last nights Nuremberg Rally used up a lot of what was left before last night.
In Japan, for centuries they were ruled by what were dictators with the title of Shogun who had seized power from the Japanese emperors. In 1868 a member of the Imperial line named Meiji defeated the last Shogun and restored Imperial rule. He issued a statement called a Rescript announcing he was in charge. Despite his being an ambulatory anal orifice, I have always remembered a line from it.
“Be Thou then Truly resolved. Duty is as heavy as a Mountain, and Death is as light as a Feather.”
There is another line from renowned writer Robert A. Heinlein: “Waiting is.”
Subotai Bahadur
Look. We’ve gone beyond the point where the unthinkable becomes thinkable.
“I expect Antifa riots and false flag attacks by the same as the election approaches, with increasing intensity as time passes.”
Use their psy-ops. They’ll do the heavy lifting.
There’s a reason whenever the anti-fu-fu-fu stage a confrontation there are more cameras watching than operatives provoking. There’s a reason the “reporting” starts in an instant, with the same wording. None of this is organic.
The program is: start with the message; stage distribution; then, create the content to provision it. We know what they’re gonna do. Staged rioters and agents provocateur will create content for us.
Conveniently what they’re doing is illegal, destructive and unseemly. Report it, and they just look bad. That Fed Boys pic post Jan 6 did more to position “infiltration” than all the court findings in Michigan. One video of tooled up ATFeebs rousting a guy at home stuffed operation Reticent Recall better than 1,000 hours off House inquisition. That worked because the gun-rights folks have distribution and messaging in place, and that guy had a camera.
It’s not easy though. When the Portland thugs would identify an outsider, they would maul him.
Watching the machinations within the Dem party these days reminds me of Kremlin watchers during the USSR, or those who tried to figure out what was going on (and still) in China’s communist regime.
Biden suddenly gives a speech filled with Obama phrasing. What does it mean? Who is in charge?
Projecting and blame shifting as usual, Prez Daddy Showers calls his opponents fascists and enemies of the state, while standing on a stage that screams Hitler at Nuremberg, with his fists clenched and a face contorted with hate-filled rage. Truly repulsive!
“The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human”. Aldous Huxley
We would be wise to remember this fable:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “I am sorry, but I couldn’t resist the urge. It’s in my nature.”
