I once described Kurt Schlichter's scribblings, currently slobbered at Townhall.com, as that which "soars to the polemical heavens and descends utterly deranged. His has got to be the most perfect kernel of 'Fucking nuts' I have ever had the pleasure to read." I employed that description in a 2015 post titled "The funniest, battiest, worst piece of writing I have ever read." It was, at the time. But now, Schlichter has outdone himself. I quote the comical lunatic at some length:
"We cannot tolerate this any longer," said [in April 2018] the former CIA Director at the head of the table. "We have to forcibly retake the government from Donald Trump. It is the only way save our democracy."
His audience nodded solemnly. The men and women gathered at that secret February meeting
on the top floor of 241 West 41st Street, the New York Times building, were Democrat politicians, media figures, retired and active members of the federal security bureaucracy, and several Establishment Republicans, and they were at wit’s end. There simply was no other choice. Donald Trump must be replaced, and it no longer mattered how….
"You need to see this," Anthony Scaramucci, the communications director said. [Chief of Very Little Stuff Gen. John Kelly, who had nonetheless 'focused and discipled the White House staff' and was now 'notching legislative wins'] followed. In the comms room, he saw the same picture on all the screens – except for Fox, which was snow. It was Hillary Clinton, stiff at a desk, looking a bit like she had imbibed some liquid courage. She was reading off a sheet of yellow paper.
"…no choice but to act decisively to restore democracy and our Constitution by removing the Trump junta. Our armed forces are acting to protect our country by transferring leadership to the National Committee of Recovery and Reconciliation, made up of prominent citizens from all political parties, which will govern until fair elections free of foreign collusion can be held …"
Kelly caught the President and his escorts at the elevator. The battle outside sounded like the general remembered Fallujah sounding. Except, inside the White House, he had only a few Secret Service agents and some Marines to hold off the onslaught.
"Sir," he said. "It’s a military coup."
That bit of insanity is from Schlichter's hilariously zany yet altogether solemn "The Military Coup Against Donald Trump of 2018, Part 1." Regrettably he leaves us hanging, until he publishes the even more hilariously zany yet altogether solemn "The Military Coup Against Donald Trump of 2018, Part 2" — and if we're lucky, Parts 3, and 4, and …
I'll give him this much. As a fucking Scaramuccian paranoid schizophrenic and thus loyal Trumpeteer, he knows his audience's paranoia, and is exploiting it to the max.
