“Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world, dreaming on things to come
Can yet the lease of my true love control:
SUPPOSED as forfeit to a confined doom.
The mortal moon hath HER eclipse endured
And the sad augurs mock their own presage-
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And PEACE proclaims olives of endless age.
Now in the drops of this most balmy time
MY LOVE LOOKS FRESH, and Death to me subscribes—
Since, spite of him, I’ll LIVE in this poor rhyme
While he insults o’er DULL AND SPEECHLESS tribes!
And thou, in this, shalt find thy monument
When tyrants’ crests and tombs of brass are spent.”
As I think about this result, I have a several thoughts as to the big picture. It is high time for the MSM to finally SHUT UP!!. It appears, in their hubris, that it never occurred to them that ever higher concentrations of their venom has surpassed the point of diminishing returns; its result - due to its repetition and duration - is reduced to the point of ineffectiveness. So, again I tell them - SHUT UP, unless you can again see the need - in a representative republic - for honest reporting, rather than warped, ideological psychological manipulation operant for too many years now.
I feel like we, our side, had become like grownups with a buncha screaming, irrational toddlers in our car. No point in even rebuking them: we just…gritted our teeth and focused on the road. They’ll be getting out soon, we just have to keep the car on course till we can discharge them. They got more and more outrageous and angry but we knew there was only ONE thing we could do:
Vote. Shut up and drive!
And we have! .
It is great that President Trump and his many supporters have beaten the Demoncrats “Margin of Steal”. That is a great accomplishment.
Now it is time to recognize that that was only the first obstacle in a convoluted course. Word has it that Ms. Harris has followed in the Demoncrat tradition started by Algore of not publicly conceding. Doubtless the Demoncrat’s Damned Lawyers have long been working on Plan B – and we have to assume that some random “judge” in Hawaii is preparing to step in and save the republic.
Assuming that lawfare hurdle can be crossed too, the Demoncrats have always been working on Plan C – subverting all those jelly-spined “Republicans” in Congress to thwart any positive actions that President Trump tries to take. And then there is Plan D – more obstruction from Damned Lawyers and preening “judges”. All of that before we get to the obstructive bureaucrats who constitute Plan E.
Celebrate the victory! And recognize winning a battle does not end the war.
Oh, you said it! Our Don has got to be tough from Day One, even from the days PRE-One. I fully expect Hapless.not to concede. But I think and hope this time he knows he can’t trust anybody who is already in DC. I so hope he’s got a good team of fresh horses lined up in the stable and rarin’ to go.
YEEEE-HA!!
It is too late for them to return to unbiased coverage and analysis. Conservatives have already abandoned them, and have found other, reliable, sources of news. Losing that trust is like losing one’s virginity: not getting it back.
Which means their remaining audience is the remnant of true-believing leftists. Returning to even the appearance of objectivity means pissing off all of their remaining customers. No can do.
