Don’t Impeach Biden … Not Just Yet
Don’t Impeach Biden … Not Just Yet
Article by Kurt Schlichter in Townhall
Guys, chill. Yeah, Crusty O’Corrupto was taking bribes. Everyone knows it, except maybe the senile scamster himself, and only because he forgot. You have to be a moron or a liar to deny it, and the Democrats are both. But there is no cosmic ref who is going to come down and throw a flag on his graft. Certainly, the Department of Justice (sic) is never going to do it. So, those demanding impeachment are absolutely and unequivocally right that impeachment is the proper response even though we all know that once the impeachment gets to the Senate (assuming that the GOP Sissy Squad does not tank the vote in the House), the Democrats will ratify his misconduct even if the House prosecutors play a notarized videotape of him saying “I am Joe Biden and I am accepting this sack with a dollar sign on it in return for using my political office to illegally assist the guy handing me this cash.”
He needs to be impeached anyway – this is not open to serious debate. But we need to get the timing right.
And the time is not right now.
It’s frustrating, especially with the latest frame job of bogus criminal charges against President Trump. But this is not about our feelz. It’s about America’s future. Play it smart, not emotional. Take the time to put all the pieces in place, then spring the trap. Don’t let haste allow him to weasel out of his comeuppance unscathed.
Remember that impeachment is not an act of justice. It is not a legal act. It is, at its core, a political act. An impeachment trial is not governed by the same rules of evidence as are applied in a court of law when the defendant is not a Republican. An impeachable offense is not defined by a statute, but by what the voting members of the House and Senate think is worthy of removal from office and future disqualification. It is a serious act that should be undertaken soberly, and so we need to understand our objectives.
Our objective is not to remove Biden, because there will never, ever be enough Democrats voting honestly to remove him from office. The impeachment proceeding itself will ultimately fail, but we must focus on those objectives.
First, we need to demonstrate to the American people that Hunterdaddy really is a totally corrupt scumbag. To the progressives, that is actually a selling point. But to some number of Democrat voters, that is still a bad thing. And demonstrating his perfidy will hurt him in the election. Our ultimate goal is to evict him from the White House in 2024, and impeachment supports our campaign.
“Kurt, that’s totally cynical!”
Yep. Cynicism that inspires ruthlessness is the only rational response to the destruction of our national norms. Which brings us to our other objective.
Our second objective is to use the impeachment process to demonstrate that the New Rules are in full effect and hasten the day when the Democrats come crawling back to us to beg us to return to the Old Rules. That will only happen if we have inflicted sufficient pain upon them. And considering the endemic corruption among the Democrats and the fact that Trump’s antics made him uniquely susceptible to false charges in ways other Republicans are not, they have more to lose playing impeachment chicken than we do.
But our first objective is the most important. We must clearly and completely show the American people that Biden is a crook, and a particularly grubby and shameless one, to demonstrate his utter unworthiness. Let me share some trial lawyer hints about presenting a case to normal Americans.
You have to be ready to present the case. You need to have a full and complete story – beginning, middle, and end, followed by a call to action – that is easy to explain and simple to follow. You have to be able to back up every word you tell the jury – and here, the jury is the mass of undecided and persuadable voters – so that you do not end up at the end having promised A, B, C, D and E and only delivering A, C, and some of E. That is a recipe for failure and blowback. If you are going to play this game, you have got to win, because if you fail you lose credibility and end up in a worse spot than you were in before.
We are not ready to impeach Biden the Elder today. The so-called “impeachment inquiry” has not even begun. I would not even begin it yet. Calling it an “impeachment inquiry” telegraphs the outcome and gives the enemy the chance to portray you as going in with impeachment as a fait accompli – like an Atlanta Soros hack filing the charges before the grand jury indicts. Now, it totally is a fait accompli, because the evidence to date is overwhelming, but we don’t have to put that in neon.
We need to unleash the power of repetition and anticipation. The Republicans so far have been doing a fine job of dribbling out tidbits of damaging evidence over time in the manner of the great Andrew Breitbart. They should keep doing that. They should keep doing that until next spring. That’s the time to impeach this goon, after the sheer volume of evidence has become overwhelming and the nation has come to the accurate conclusion that this guy is as corrupt as a Chicago health inspector.
Oh, they will try to fight it. The regime media will back and protect him. Ignore it. Use alternative media channels to get the word out. Do not allow them to set our agenda. They cannot gatekeep the truth forever.
We need to establish the fact of his epic corruption in the minds of the voters long before the representatives start arguing on the House floor. The impeachment proceeding should be the icing, not the cake. And it should come when Donald Trump is being tried for having documents or otherwise existing while Republican. That will be a nice contrast – Trump kept boxes at his house where it was guarded by Secret Service guys. Biden took tens of millions from skeevy foreigners to sell out his country. Advantage Trump.
We have to create the narrative using the evidence before the impeachment process starts, and why present the climax now when it will be long forgotten by the time the election rolls around? We want the truth fresh in the voters’ collective mind. There are several Democrat senators running for reelection in 2024 who we need to toss on the rack and torture by making them either vote to let off the crook-in-chief and alienate decent Americans, or vote to remove him and alienate Democrat voters. Why would we give them a year to let voters forget they covered for the Grafty Gaffer by impeaching Biden now?
Again, isn’t this all cynical? Hell yeah – cynicism means you have been paying attention. Our goal is not to bring Crusty and his cronies to justice before the law because the deep state has ensured that courtroom justice is never going to happen – why else would the same schmuck who slow-walked Huntergate so far get appointed “special prosecutor?” Instead, we need to use this political process for political ends, to wound Biden and his Senate enablers and help the GOP win. What is not cynical is the reality – Biden and the creeps who cover for him are bad people who are wrecking our country and they deserve this. They deserve it good and hard.
So, do not rush into this impeachment. Be patient. Build the case. Savor it. Release the information to the American people over time in easy to digest bites so they get an understanding of what a trash organization the Biden Cosa Nostra is long before the impeachment hearings even start. At the hearings, present a TV-ready, simple but clear case backed up with mountains of evidence. And then use that to beat him and his toe-sucks up for the rest of the election cycle.
I know people are eager to see this happen, but winners choose the time and place for their decisive battle – just ask Hannibal. We control when, where, and how this happens. We hold all the cards. Let’s play them smart and ruthlessly, and to win.
