Tea at Trianon: Without The Save Act, We are Living in a Slave State

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Without The Save Act, We are Living in a Slave State

From Welcome to Absurdistan:

Did John Thune get a clench in his noble behind when eye-patch-pretend-pirate-guy lost his primary? Added to Trump’s relentless pressure Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week.
Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets. The fact that voter fraud has deprived the Republicans of a clear unbreakable majority for THREE election cycles is clearly beyond him. He is functionally retarded. Or a shark committing treason.
John Solomon on Wednesday:
John Thune has scheduled a potential vote as early as next Thursday for the Save America Act…and it will be a flesh-it-out sort of moment for whomever is on board with a proposition that’s 85 percent popular in America… it’s really a roll call so that the grassroots efforts can then begin for the White House to target the people that should be in favor of this and aren’t.” Episode 5207, Bannon’s War Room, 3.11.26
Thanks to the 2020 steal, the grass roots is woken all the way up and targeting RINOs is their next step. They will enjoy it.
Therein lies the threat to established order. The obvious theft of 2020 and the Covid lying/bullying/cheating/stealing scam, the latter deliciously revealed by the White House on Thursday, activated the adults out in the Great Flyover. People who know the way the world actually works, saw how badly it wasn’t working. For decades they have been experiencing an almost imperceptible decline, where their lives and most particularly their childrens’ lives were being foreshortened by crooks. As is clear from the estimated $1 trillion a year stolen from all of us. (Read more.)
