Deep State Plan B Underway?

If I were a nefarious high-level Deep State villain watching President Joey Boombatz stumble through every public outing I would start to identify strongly with him each time he craps his pants because looking at the polls, I would be feeling a tad loose in the bowels myself.

Plan A was to cripple Trump with lawfare and run on Jan. 6 plus abortion with full media support. Who knew that Jan. 6 would be so five minutes ago to everybody in the USA but Rachel Maddow and the panel on The View? Who knew that lawfare would only appeal to the Dem hardcore and tick off everybody else? Who knew that open borders, inflation, and insane woke ideologues in government would matter— wasn't the media supposed to hide all that?

Because we opted for this approach, we are in very deep kimchee if Trump wins.

Clearly, it is time for a Plan B. Here is what I would propose to my fellow Deep State villains:

  • Kamala must be neutralized first. An immediate killer scandal, an engineered embarrassment so profound that even she notices afterward how dumb it was, must be affected. She has to be taken off the board. Her staff members would likely welcome the opportunity to tank her political future. I recommend that those tasked with this mission first watch Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
  • With the way cleared for a total replacement at the top of the ticket, a team must distract the First Lady and separate her from the target for a full day. The target must then be allowed to engage with a select group of apparently random but highly diverse-looking US citizens, including some parents with their 11 to 12-year-old daughters. He is to be told privately they are foreign ambassadors and let the hijinks begin--for two hours. The resulting video excerpts will go viral.
  • Party leaders are to be privately warned that a precipitating event is underway. Shrinks and legal experts on the 25th Amendment will be dispatched to make statements on cable news shows and lay the groundwork. Party leaders will make the trip down Pennsylvania Ave to issue an ultimatum—drop out or be ousted as unfit.
  • We will already have pre-selected the least well-known, least overtly ideological, least repulsive Democratic governor as the prospective nominee. To begin the process, the following names would be immediately taken OFF the list of prospective nominees:
Evers (WI) Healey (MA) Hobbs (AZ) Hochul (NY) Inslee (WA) Kotek (OR) Murphy (NJ) Newsome (CA) Pritzker (IL) Walz (MN) Whitmer (MI)
  • Our nominee would then decry the Biden economic failures without being terribly precise about actual alternative plans. The lack of border security would also be criticized, again without any specifics. The media would unite in the mandatory talking point of a fresh start for America once we are free of both the Biden incompetence and the divisive Trump drama.
  • Because he/she will be a rank outsider, we would own the nominee, control all critical appointments, and finish the mission of the Great Transformation. The bow-tie types at Heritage or AEI can whine all they want about the "Administrative State" but after 2024 (and some SCOTUS appointments), we will rule forever--and even arrest those bow-tied losers if we feel like it.

    Not going to happen. What do you think will happen if they do this to the first black female vice president and potential president?

    I concur.

    Kamala was very unpopular here in Calif, among real people. Sure all the party bigwigs loved her. But everyday people did not.

    I suspect that numerous nasty situations that she has been a big part of have been hidden from view.

    Whether there is anyone out there that currently holds a file on her and is about to go public, I can't say.

    Calling Peter Byrne! Calling Peter Byrne! He outed the nefarious Di Feinstein some 15 years ago. But to do so he had to go the route of having his research published by "The Bohemian" a small time newspaper distributed for free in Sonoma County Calif. All the major players, like "The Sacramento Bee," "The San Francisco Chronicle" and "The Mercury News" refused to publish.

    If it is a matter of continued employment and avoiding jail for more than a few, and if it is down at arm's length, why not? Who's gonna know "they" did it?

    Harris is also an incredibly bad politician. Bush, Gore, Biden all worked to place people while VP, score chits and build alliances. Harris has no network. She has no loyal core because she treats people badly and requires an endless supply of scapegoats for her failures.

    If she takes a hit, nobody is gonna weep or look to closely especially given her well-established capacity for self-immolation.
