Do Not
Count On Mueller To Rid Us Of Trump
Once upon a time there was a professional wrestling organization called
World Championship Wrestling. Owned at
the time by Ted Turner, the WCW was supposed to be the alternative to the sports
entertainment juggernaut of World Wrestling Entertainment, and it featured an eclectic
combination pf newcomers and legends.
For those drummed out of the WWE, the WCW would always await them, and
vice-versa.
For a while, they gave the WWE a run for their money. They even had very public “wars” between the
two groups, each saying they’re going to destroy each other. And they’d have some entertainer from one
group switch over and they play up that it’s part of some “invasion”. In reality, there was no “invasion” or a
“war”. It was just hype.
The WWE had fun with it for a while, and then got tired of it and moved
on. WCW, on the other hand, transitioned
the whole “invasion” into their “New World Order” gimmick, and then they played
it until everyone got sick of it.
The “New World Order” gimmick revolved around a whole bunch of scripted
screwjobs, where the WCW would count on some wrester or some wrestling team to
step up and defeat the NWO, only to have it come out that the match was rigged
for the NWO to win, and people would get pissed. And it wasn’t just a screwjob here or
there. It was a screwjob every single
time. Every pay-per-view event had some
kind of screwjob, either through outside interference or because of some
scripted “heel turn”, and that much-needed and much-promised victory would turn
into yet another “shocking” defeat. Your
hard-earned money spent on pay-per-view events that became pay-per-screwjob.
Then people got sick of it all and they stopped paying for the pay-per-screwjobs
and they stopped going to the events and they stopped watching the shows. So management let the “good guys” win
one. I remember it too, because I was
there live when it happened. But, by
then, the “revolution” had its own “revolution” and another after that, and
splinter groups on top of splinter groups, and people just got tired of all the
games. This is when WCW started to truly
lose its support and eventually it would be bought out by and assimilated into the
WWE.
Well another screwjob is in the works, but this time it is in the
equally-over-scripted world of politics.
We know who the heels are: President Donald Trump and his GOP cronies
have formed their own “New World Order” gang, complete with goon squads,
propaganda mills, and even biased officials.
They’re rude, crude, obnoxious, and they just don’t give a damn what we
think of them as long as they get their way.
And, yes, they have their fans who are cult-like in their adoration and
support.
That makes the liberals and progressives and free-thinkers and scientists
and the Democrats and the non-conservative media and pretty much everyone else
who are not “for” Trump’s NWO (such as yours truly)
as the so-called “babyfaces” of politics.
They mean well. They do their
best, but they just can’t seem to get that crucial win.
But we are all told not to worry, because there is “hope” in the form of
special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
Mueller is being painted as a “hero” for the anti-Trump crowd. He would supposedly be their “savior”. Mueller will do what the voters and the
Electoral College will not, and that is to remove Trump from office...
somehow. All he has to do is find the
“dirt” on Trump, to prove some kind of collusion or interference or some kind
of wrongdoing, and then “the system” will step in and either impeach Trump and
force him out of office or get him to resign like Richard Nixon did back in
1974.
And there are some that truly believe that it is that simple.
Liberal commentator and sometimes sports broadcaster Keith Olbermann is
so convinced of Mueller being their “white knight” that he has declared the
whole mess with Trump to be over with and he retired from his commentary
role. There’s nothing more that needs to
be said, Olbermann said on his final YouTube broadcast for GQ. All roads lead to either impeachment or
indictment or both. Game over. The end.
And if you believe that, then I have some paper degrees from Trump U to
sell you.
Let’s get brutally honest here… if you really believe that Trump’s
removal is as easy as Robert Mueller simply indicting the President of the United
States, then you are in for a classic political screwjob. Mueller has no more power to remove Donald
Trump and his MAGA red-hat fascists out of office than you or I have.
For all of the charges that Robert Mueller and his office can put
together, no matter how many indictments he can get, no matter how many
witnesses he can bring, no matter how much evidence he can amass, he cannot get
Donald Trump out of office on his own.
The only way that Trump can be removed from office is either through the
ballot box, through impeachment in the House of Representatives and conviction
in the U.S. Senate, or through his own cabinet invoking the specific clause in
the 25th Amendment should they deem Trump to be “unable to carry out
the duties”. Two of the three methods
require activity from members of Trump’s own political party, which is
something that they are outright unwilling to do. And the third requires us to wait until
November of 2020, barring all-out nuclear war, and then we’d have to convince
enough voters in enough states with enough electoral college representatives to
vote for someone other than Trump.
Think you can wait until 2020?
No? Then you better have the
biggest political upset in the 2018 mid-term election ever in political history,
because impeachment and conviction requires not only a majority of votes in the
House, but also two-thirds of the Senate.
A simple majority will not suffice with the Senate. And that’s not taking into account the inherent
and well-documented obstructionism of the GOP.
This is a sociopathic party that has demonstrated time and time again
that they will see the country burn just to prove a point.
Yes, there is fourth way. Trump
can resign. He can walk away like he did
to some of his businesses. But if he
does it, it probably will not be because of any sense of “honor” or “duty” or
love of country like Nixon did. Those
concepts are alien to a narcissist. If
Trump resigns, it would be because of his ego and out of fear that his
all-precious image would be permanently damaged if were he to stick around like
Bill Clinton did twenty years ago.
Speaking of which; Bill Clinton’s two terms in office actually gives us
the best example of why Mueller will not save us from the Trump.
Remember Kenneth Starr? He was the
special prosecutor that the GOP brought in to investigate President Clinton and
his wife and their lackeys. He was hyped
up by the conservatives as being their “white knight”. Ken Starr was going to “save the nation”. Ken Starr was going to expose the Clintons. Ken Starr was going to bring “justice” to the
White House.
Ken Starr investigated every single possible charge and claim made against
the Clintons from coverups, collusion, nepotism, corruption, to murder. Everything the GOP could claim was
investigated and vetted by Starr. Everything. And the only thing that he could get Bill
Clinton on... was lying under oath about oral sex from an intern. And even though that got Clinton impeached,
the Senate refused to convict him.
All those years, all of that hype, all of the anticipation from the GOP
and the conservatives and talk radio and their various propaganda mills from
NewsMax to World Net Daily to Fox News, that all that they needed was to have
Ken Starr come in and save the day and it would be over for Clinton. It was all a screwjob. All of it.
And guess what? Back then, yours
truly predicted it! I predicted back in
1998 that Clinton would leave the White House exactly as he came in, quote: “with
a waive and a smile”. And I was right. Starr
pulled his screwjob and Clinton left the White House as I predicted on
January 20th, 2001, with that waive and smile. Screwjob for the GOP.
Same thing happened with Bush Junior.
The outing of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative was a blatant violation
of federal law, but the people who should have been held to account for it were
allowed to walk, and only one low-level person took the fall. And all of the talk of impeachment from the
Democrats suddenly stopped as soon as they got control of the Congress. Like Clinton before him, George W. Bush was
able to walk out of the White House exactly as he came in, with a waive and a
smile. Screwjob for the Dems.
Same thing with Barack Obama. The
GOP kept on demanding investigations, kept on promising indictments, kept on
promising trials... if not for Obama, then for Hillary Clinton. What happened? Nothing.
Obama left like he came in, with a waive and a smile. Screwjob for the GOP.
So here we are again... with another president being investigated by
another special prosecutor, and people are putting all their hopes on the
thought that this man will somehow right the wrongs of the election.
Spoiler alert: this will likely end with yet another screwjob.
While Trump is pretty much an unstable wild card, the true “deep state”
people, the entrenched power brokers and party bosses, have decided to work
with him. The GOP will continue to
defend him and support him at the expense of the rest of the nation simply
because Trump’s MAGA cult members help keep them in office. And for all of their complaining and
hand-wringing, the Democrats will not take any real steps to get Trump out of
office even if they manage to regain control of Congress; because
they feel that they can use Trump for that “next election” that they always
look out for.
If Trump seems upset or feels threatened about Mueller, it is because Trump
is a narcissist, and his fragile ego will not tolerate anyone or anything
painting him in a bad light. It’s the
same reason why he attacks college students who question his political stances,
or football players that “take a knee”, or anyone that does not applaud him when
he speaks. His fragile ego demands total
appeasement and awe from all he surveys.
That is textbook narcissism.
Robert Mueller is no different than the babyface wrestlers of WCW being
pitted against the New World Order. He
comes in with hype and hope, but, in the end, he’ll take the loss. Maybe someone on the low-or-medium spot in the
Trump hierarchy will be sacrificed. But Trump and his top players will remain
unscathed. Because that is how it is all
scripted. If Trump does leave before his tenure ends, it’ll
only be by his choice and on his terms.
It's all just orchestrated drama, folks.
Screwjobs no different than the kind seen in professional wrestling. All designed to keep you pissed, keep you feeling
helpless, and to keep you coming back to them for more. As long as you keep playing their game and keep
voting for those two dominant political parties, then that tells the party
bosses and power players that it is just business as usual. It only ends when you stop playing their
games.
