Is anyone else getting really sick of this baby bullshit we’re going through with everyone in the White House and the Capitol Building with an “R” next to their name acting like a scared babysitter, worried about setting a kid off because he is angry that mom and dad limited screen time or something?

We have an entire political structure right now functioning as a buffer zone so as to not rub the raw nerves of a man whose feelings are hurt, a man who is committed to vengeance against everyone who hurt him – which at this point means an entire country with the exception of 70 million people that he can’t personally identify.

We could see a point, with COVID getting as bad as it is, that Congress actually does pass a pre-Christmas stimulus package, getting money to people fast (in a dream) and Trump refusing to sign it, because “fck them, they don’t want me, now they can pay the price.”

Part of the problem is that Trump is surrounded by some people who are happy to help him out with the “Vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord.” Robert O’Brien, National Security Director, seems to be one who is relishing taking some anger out on some folks:

This week, officials say, O’Brien supported the removal of several top officials at the Pentagon and favored Christopher Miller, a former NSC official who moved to the National Counterterrorism Center, to replace Esper as secretary of defense. He also approved of the installation of Kash Patel as Miller’s chief of staff, officials said. Patel worked previously under O’Brien at the National Security Council. One senior official described Miller and Patel as “O’Brien’s boys.” Patel is also said to be close with another former NSC colleague, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who is now the Pentagon’s senior intelligence official.

We still don’t know what the DoD moves mean. Whether it’s part of a coup, just plain revenge, or both, at least the beginning.

Other officials familiar with the matter noted that O’Brien has also pushed national security officials to publicly embrace the absurd Trump message that the election has not been certified and that there are still legal battles playing out across the country that could turn in the president’s favor.

“If you even mention Biden’s name… that’s a no-go, you’d be fired,” one national security official said. “Everyone is scared of even talking about the chance of working with the [Biden] transition.”

We have convinced ourselves we know the reason for this fear. These are the national security people. They might well believe that if Biden starts getting national security briefings, he might get “different” briefings than Trump is getting. Biden might get briefings that say things like “The White House is a sieve and information is going straight out to the highest bidder. We worry there are highly placed assets, very high, or highly placed (very high) that are simply selling secrets for money.” OR something to a lesser degree but along those lines. Biden might hear about things that have been ignored for a long time.

Regardless, it just goes to show that there is still a lot of work to do left to get Trump’s ass out of the White House. He becomes increasingly dangerous every single day that passes where he believes he’s losing his grip on power. He has the babysitters’ phone and is ready to do some damage if things don’t go his way.

Peace, y’all
