Back in July after the first Trump assassination attempt, I wrote that there can be no national unity, no burying the hatchet or cooling the rhetoric with people who have been encouraging political violence and pushing assassination prep for years. You can’t smack someone in the face with a hammer and then insist everyone calm down.
Trump’s election victory doesn’t change that. Those in the news media who spent years calling Trump a fascist and comparing him to Hitler, claiming he represents a threat to democracy and that he’ll use his presidential powers to go after his enemies, should not be forgiven. Their lies and nonstop propaganda should not be forgotten. No one should ever take them seriously again. When they try to engage the public square, they should either be ignored entirely or met with a wall of mockery and derision. They are enemies of the American people, whom they openly despise, and there can be no real unity with them no matter what they might say in the future.
Going forward, it should be a mark of shame to be associated with MSNBC, CBS News, and CNN. Same goes for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Politico. All the “prestige” media outlets that perpetrated lies, distortions, and unhinged rhetoric about Trump should lose so much credibility that their reader and viewer bases collapse, advertisers abandon them, and they get broken up and sold off for parts. If Laurene Powell Jobs wants to run a vanity magazine for her own entertainment, fine. But let’s not pretend it’s a serious place where serious journalists work. We all know what it is now.
Legacy media outlets, the polling industry, the Democrat-funded nonprofits and the academics and activists who run them have all now been exposed as cogs in a giant propaganda machine. Kamala Harris was never ahead. She never had a chance of winning. There was no “joy.” She wasn’t “brat.” She didn’t even win the Democrat Party nomination, it was handed to her in a backroom deal. She isn’t relatable or cool, she’s the most cringey and fake person ever to run for president. Corporate media and the Democrats ran a massive psy-op on the American people to make them believe something that wasn’t true. And it failed. We should never forget that these people will say anything for the sake of power, so we should never trust them again.
For the government officials and institutions who tried to bankrupt and jail Trump, there should be more severe and formal consequences. On Wednesday it was reported that the Justice Department will be dismissing Special Counsel Jack Smith and dropping his cases against Trump before Trump takes office. That’s great, but Smith should not be allowed to simply walk away. He and everyone else at Biden’s DOJ who was involved in these lawfare cases against Trump needs to be investigated and held accountable for their actions.
And of course the problem goes far beyond Smith. What the Justice Department and the FBI did to Trump was one of the most egregious abuses of power in American history, and we shouldn’t just shrug our shoulders at it because Trump won. These agencies need to be dismantled entirely and re-built from scratch. The FBI in particular has shown itself to be an enemy of the American people and a danger to the republic. Its director, Christopher Wray, should not simply be allowed to resign. He should be removed and placed under criminal investigation.
Same goes for New York Attorney General Leticia James, whose lawfare against Trump is an ongoing scandal. James said on Wednesday that her office is preparing to “fight back” against the incoming Trump administration. She should be disbarred, at a minimum for trying to bankrupt Trump with a bogus fraud case in which there were no fraud victims.
Then there’s Liz Cheney, who in her role as vice chair of the Jan. 6 Committee has been accused of inducing witness perjury, destroying documents, and suppressing exonerating evidence. Cheney posted what seemed like a message of conciliation on X Tuesday night, saying we must accept the results of the election. But she shouldn’t get off so easily either. Her role in the Jan. 6 Committee should be fully investigated and she should face criminal charges if warranted.
The truth is, if Trump hadn’t won he’d be going to prison. For supporting Trump, Elon Musk would have been targeted by the government, bankrupted, and subjected to years of lawfare. The people who howled loudest about Trump weaponizing the government against his political opponents have spent years doing just that to Trump and his associates.
The idea that we should just forget all that now for the sake of unity is deeply misguided and naïve. If those responsible aren’t held accountable, they will never stop trying to destroy their enemies by any means they can. Before we ever achieve anything like unity in America again, there must be a reckoning and there must be justice. Without those things, the divisions in our country won’t be able to heal.
Even with a reckoning, unity will be difficult. We can’t just say “Oh well we’re all Americans in the end.” That won’t cut it. The stark reality is that there are a large number of our countrymen who are no longer Americans in any meaningful sense. As Glenn Ellmers has written, they “do not believe in, live by, or even like the principles, traditions, and ideals that until recently defined America as a nation and as a people. It is not obvious what we should call these citizen-aliens, these non-American Americans; but they are something else.”
After those who broke the law are held accountable, and those who lied are ostracized and ignored, we will still face the problem of disunity and division among our people. We will still be two nations occupying the same territory, with two irreconcilable visions of what the country should be. We can’t paper over those differences, and we shouldn’t.
To achieve real and lasting unity we’ll need a counter-revolution in America, a re-founding of the country. That in turn will require a conversion of the American people and a return to the ideals, principles, and way of life that made our republic possible in the first place.

continuing what the democrats have been doing will not solve anything, will not fix anything.
It'll just turn into the middle east, with people responding to the latest attack with their own attack.
a vicious cycle.
Who will take the lead, who will be the bigger man?
but for those with a burning desire for some measure of revenge: Consider Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:20 "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For by doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

For way too long, conservatives have turned the other cheek, lost and laughed and have been "gracious losers".
Democrats lie, deceive, smear, slander, break laws and are never held to accountability. Walk away again and expect more of the same.
NO MORE!

The fuckwad progressives have shown themselves to be among the least honest and most delusional people on earth.
Their total disregard for the constitution in attempting to hold onto and increase their power should be charged, convicted and the perpetrators go to fucking prison where they belong.
Running out singing Kim-by-yah just empowers the dishonest to behave worse.

Watched "The Five" Friday and Harold Ford was on the panel. He made a great speech saying the moderate Democrats need to take back the party from the Far Left.

Hopefully losing their asses so badly Tuesday night is the wake up call the majority of the democrat party needs to slam dunk the communist faction and be done with them.

I predict they won't. Instead they'll double down.

The progressive (communist) faction of the democrat party is actually small. But they do hold a death grip on the party.
Cut the head off the snake. The progressive faction is led by BHO. We saw over the past few weeks he is almost irrelevant now in politics. The charm and "hope an change" is gone. He's just another whacko marxist making money off of politics.
Kick him to the curb, and while they are at it kick the Clintons out as well.
Think about it, the DNC has no clear leader. None. Granny Winebox is in hiding, Crying Chuck has lost his power. The laughable Hakeem Jeffries will still beclown himself in the House.
But then again, maybe Gavin Newsom or the Wicked Witch of Michigan will prevail and start a whole new assclown challenge.

TDS is now changed to TURD. Do you know someone with this problem? One lifelong Dim I know told me that this is the first time he has ever voted for a Republican in any capacity.

While I would love to see some kind of reckoning on all the MSM and other turds that assaulted conservatives over the years, I think that would be counterproductive. I remember a quote from Frank Sinatra: "The best revenge is massive success." Already we're seeing college campuses and others turning away from democrat policies. MSM and their stooges will continue to cry and scream. But with the massive success that Trump will bring to the United States and through it the world, they will fade into oblivion.
Many times I've wished terrible things upon mine enemies. But it seems that they always do themselves in.

Problem is we have weaponized government. Allow this scum to stay and at the next opportunity, here we go again.
Accountability is everything. FJB rarely if ever fired anyone in all the massive fuck ups the regime had. This scum will just recycle themselves through the bureaucracy of DC to get into another position of power and continue.
Inside the pentagon we already have meetings on how to defy Trump’s orders. Clean them out. The military is not the place for political ideology to dictate response.
The DoJ is in shambles. Top down clean out is needed to restore the American public’s faith in the justice system.

Exactly. The FBI and the DOJ used to have a pretty good reputation. Now it's all a joke. A top-down purge is needed. A purge and ban on ever entering "public service" again.

They (Dems) won’t listen but here’s the brutal truth about the Democratic Party today.
Every American Should See This Ex-Dem A/C Repairman Set MSNBC Straight on Why Kamala Lost
“I’ll make it real simple for ya from a former union democrat… Easy fix. [Y]ou s**t on and insult working people from your mansions and gated communities. [Y]ou steal from us to give to your pet constituents. [Y]ou call us enemies and garbage, deplorable, and nazis…” he wrote.
He went on to make over a dozen additional points about Democrats ramping up inflation, threatening to pack the courts, lying constantly, forcing “sexual perversions and fetishes on us,” and so much more.

Gen. Michael Flynn Pens a Letter to the Radical Left: “The American People Are Tired of Your Sh*t”.
The American People are awake to the scam and the true evil going on around us, and we are not going to stand for it anymore. So we hired Donald J. Trump and his team of Patriots to rectify the situation, and bring America back to her greatness.
