Threatening to Prosecute Your Opponents When They Give Up Power Is a Bad Idea

 Kurt Schlichter   

"Maybe we will break apart. It's becoming hard to justify remaining in a country with people who despise us, as well as exploit us. But that's not good."

. . . "All the Democrats out there announcing that as soon as they get power, they're going to use the full weight of government to prosecute anybody who had anything to do with the Donald Trump administration reminds me of a historical analogue. They won't recognize it because most of them don't believe that history started until 1619, or maybe when Barack Obama got elected, and anything occurring before then was just dead white men doing dead white men stuff that doesn't matter. But you know, it totally matters whether they like it or not." . . .

. . . "Yeah, I know, that's crazy talk, which is crazy, and stop being crazy, you crazy guy. But then again, I'm not the one out there threatening to prosecute anybody who participates in any policy that the Democrats don't like. I'm just the guy who notices. Luckily, the Trump administration has noticed too, and it's not playing along. It's not giving in. It's not backing down. Nor should we as citizens play along, give in, or back down. Our enemies are evil, but they're also stupid, and they don't understand human nature, nor do they know history. They somehow think that they can intimidate us and shame us into submission, into giving up our right to participate in our own governance and allowing them to rule over us in perpetuity. That's not going to happen. That's not in the cards. They're playing a very dangerous game.

"Now, Julius Caesar was famously kind to his enemies. He showed mercy to most of the people who opposed him during the Roman Civil War he fought and won. Of course, it was the same people he showed mercy to who ended up stabbing him to death. That's another lesson of history, but one that we need to learn. And when we learn it, it's not going to go well for the enemies who force us to protect ourselves from the oppression they promise to impose upon us.

"But there's hope. It's not too late to not repeat history. I'm just not optimistic that the Left is not so dumb and malicious that it will stumble into a catastrophe.". . . 

Pearl Harbor Day From CNN and MS...um....somethingorother

Babylon Bee: CNN Reports On 'Deadly Boat Accident' At Pearl Harbor  

"HONOLULU, HI - CNN and other mainstream news outlets are reporting on a "tragic, completely accidental" boating accident at Pearl Harbor. As details still come in, CNN is urging people to not rush to judgment or assign blame until the story goes away in a few days. 

:"Such a tragic and completely accidental boating accident," said one news anchor. "The thing that's so sad about it is the tragic, totally random accidentalness of it. Our hearts are with the victims and whatever. Anyway, in other news..." 

"Independent journalists from the scene are sending messages that this was an intentional attack by the Empire of Japan that was designed to inflict as much destruction and casualty as possible. Such messages have been dismissed as unfounded and racist, and likely linked to recent increases in anti-Asian hate crimes. 

" 'We do not need to investigate this any further, or talk about it ever again, as it was an accident," said the local Police Chief in a press conference. "Any talk of motive is unhelpful at this time. I think what's really important is allowing our Pearl Harbor community to heal." 

"CNN then quickly transitioned to a news story about the latest Cary Grant movie."
