Trump campaign reveals Democrat plans

The Trump campaign, through its official Team Trump X account, released a scathing platform targeting, not Republican rivals, but Democrats. They are throwing back to the Democrats the common canard the Democrats make against their opponents. Democrats say Trump and “MAGA” Republicans pose the greatest threat to democracy in American history. Today the Trump campaign said the reverse is true – and demonstrated that with references to acts of Joe Biden and his administration since he took office – and to Joe Biden and his campaign before he took office.

The Trump counteroffensive

This counteroffensive by the Trump campaign is long overdue. Everyone remembers, or should remember, That Speech of September 2, 2022. Biden delivered one of the most dangerous examples of rhetoric by an incumbent executive since Marcus Tullius Cicero’s Oration Against Catiline (Oratio In Catilinam). His administration chimed in at all levels. More recently, Trump is under four separate criminal indictments for conduct that no one should ever regard as prosecutable. Since when have American prosecutors regarded as criminal the challenge of an electoral result? Since this year, when this administration marked its character with every act which might define a banana republic. As a former Member of Congress pointedly declared earlier this week.

But the abuse of power did not wait until Biden took office. It started earlier – but involved not only the Biden campaign but also the intelligence services of this country. The Twitter Files tell part of the tale. (And if Yoel Roth wants to deny his role in this treason, let him remember: his erstwhile targets have witnesses.) The other part is the richly ironic spectacle of the Democrats accusing Trump of being a Manchurian – or Muscovite – candidate. This from a Party that for sixty years in the last century (except for a brief but dramatic interruption) hailed Russia as humanity’s future. Of course, back then Russia called itself the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a name meant to encompass the world. Not so today.

The thread

With that as background, herewith the thread, as its odd numbers.

Note: here you can read Rosa Brooks’ Transition Integrity Project playbook document:

Reaction is about ninety percent positive and ten percent negative. None of the posts are worth singling out, except perhaps this one.

Translation: That’s how it is and all Americans have to see it.

The rest we’ve likely heard before, or can expect, from both sides.

Analysis

CNAV has been over much of this before. But the Transition Integrity Project document is something new. At last the Trump campaign has shared written evidence that these radical Democrats, collaborating with RINOs and traitorous “spooks,” laid plans either to ensure their Big Cheat would sustain any challenge – or else to overthrow a “clear Trump win.” That last proposal (Game Three in Appendix B) actually included threats of secession from the Union by Left Coast States. In this war game, Barack Obama played a direct role to propose four specific pieces of permanent leftist victory concrete:

1. Statehood for the District of Columbia (or for the residential part of the District) and Puerto Rico,
2. Dividing California into five States, thus giving California eight more Senators,
3. A mandatory retirement age of 70 for Justices of the Supreme Court, and
4. Abolition of the Electoral College and the election of Presidents by popular vote.

But they wouldn’t get those proposals. Incredibly, on January 6, they proposed to challenge a Trump victory in Congress. They expected Vice-President Pence to certify a Trump victory, and did not expect the Biden side to concede. Result: no qualifying President or Vice-President on January 20, and anyone’s guess to what the military would do.

The mistake in listings of the appendices (listing Appendix B as C, resulting in two Appendices C) and of a listing of three characteristics of a constitutional crisis as 1, 2, and 4) may or may not be significant.

Throwing off on Trump

By far the most remarkable thing about this document is that the radical Democrats really believe their own swindle. They believe that Trump is equal parts criminal and would-be dictator. Their Game Two scenario played out in real life – because they obviously were prepared to cheat. Furthermore, Appendix C (the real Appendix C) prescribes the very dictatorial behavior which they accused Trump of contemplating.

The one thing the authors of the Transition Integrity Project did not do was to rein in executive power. Instead they extended it, weaponized it, and used it to insulting effect – insulting, that is, to people’s intelligence. This statement is especially ironic:

No president should be able to use the executive branch to settle political scores, damage perceived adversaries, or pursue personal financial gain.

Yet that is exactly what President Joe Biden has done. Therefore any leftist office holders or commentators, afraid that Trump will round them up, have only themselves to blame. Biden so threatened Trump and his every voter in That Speech. This document also accuses Trump of planning to salt “peaceful protests” with violent false-flag agents provocateurs. But the FBI did exactly that on January 6, 2021.

The notes in Document Cloud accompanying this document say it came from The Boston Globe. If so, it is the stupidest mistake any legacy media organ ever made – for it constitutes evidence of conspiracy.

Now that we have this evidence, and this exposé, we must ask another question:

What are you prepared to do? Actor Sean Connery, as Det. Jim Malone, in The Untouchables (1987).
