Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Thursday, May 18. 2017The witch huntAt Ace: Read it all. Of course the press wants to take Trump down. It is just a partisan thing, the sport called scalp-hunting, because Trump isn't even a conservative.

"...as Jeffrey Lord puts it "a high-tech lynching of an uppity president."
Teflon Don ll is not uppity; he's just a New Yawk businessman. Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama, on the other hand, was "...an uppity president." Uppity. Now there's a word you don't hear everyday. As for the Dow: Every little Poot-in or sparkle is going to make it jump one way or another until things get settled, which may be never. It's a roller coaster, baby, holds on to yo headgear, and stays for the long run. Faithfully, red I am not worried. Trump has been asking for a full and complete investigation since the beginning. He has nothing to hide.
What the Dems don't realize is this will open the door to finding out exactly what Obama and company were up to. Whoopsie! Watch out Susan Rice, Clapper, Brennan, etc. It's all the same 'investigation' - as the leaks and the unmasking are supposedly directly tied to the 'Russia' claims made by the last administration. HA, HA, HA! While they are doing it, their masks have come completely off. We see them for what they are - unhinged Leftist fanatics who operate without any kind of restraint. And the media is exposed as nothing more than an extension of the DNC.
They are like leftists everywhere, Robespierre and the Jacobins , Pol Pot, the Cultural Revolutionists. They can't dream and build. They only destroy. Bastards
Suppose they succeed: what do they think will happen? Will all the angry Trump voters just shrug and vote for Chelsea in 2020?
This is putting us on the road to an actual shooting civil war and we'll be damned lucky if we avoid it. I'm not sure if I should be hoping that doesn't happen - or wishing for it to get started while I'm still young enough to participate.
What is the Special Council's Portfolio? Is it Russian influence on the election or GOP collusion. If the former then look out Clinton/Podesta.........
" the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate, again NOTHING, does one thing: puts a taint of guilt on the President "
I'm expecting it to do the opposite. Special council finds NOTHING, and then it can be put to rest. Sure, the TDS and conspiracy nuts will always complain, but that's what they do. They're still convinced that MLK shot RFK on the moon-landing film set in Utah. The front page of the online Washington Post is a sight to behold. Almost twenty articles, all with the clear intention of destroying Trump. One headline reads, "Trump just lost a little more control over the fate of his presidency". They are openly gloating...sigh. It's sad.
Where are the media planning on taking this? Who read the Washington Post anymore, but D.C. swamp creatures and lefties in MD/VA/DC? I know I don't.
People aren't stupid. Do you think Trump would've won if voters believed the garbage in the press? If you are still reading the WaPo after their '30 White House sources' lie about Dep. AG Rosenstein resigning, I feel sorry for you. It's no longer 'news.' It's lies upon lies. I'm not reading articles about this nonsense at present, but my husband reports to me that even the WP is starting to hedge its bets a bit, running articles musing over what will happen if there's no there there.
It looks like the democrats and media are attempting a coup. Oh, wait, democrats and media is redundant.
It should have become obvious to everyone that Trump was the last chance to avoid shooting within our borders between the uniparty and people who want to be left alone to run their own lives. Its a cold war for now.
It seems, the 'Trump is illegitimate" phase has ended and the Trump needs to be impeached phase has begun.
What is concerning is that the most spineless repubs are now entertaining the idea, and let's not forget the GOPe has no use for him either. So . . . imagine the media repeats the 'Trump should be impeached" meme 24/7 for the next several months and the polls can be moved to 50% of the general population agree with the notion of impeaching Trump? If the GOPe calculates there is minimal political risk in impeaching Trump and they have the votes with their Democrat allies, you could see Trump impeached for serving one scoop of ice cream to the press corpse corps or something else as trivial. I think they want him gone that badly. Trump was not my guy a year ago I liked Cruz. But when it became clear that Cruz wasn't going to get nominated and Trump probably would I was in the Trump camp. He is my guy and I refuse to let the Democrats or the press change that. I sincerely hope Trump continues to be the Honey Badger and continues to work to reverse the Obama Reid and Pelosi sabotage against America. There is nothing that the Press or Chuckie or unnamed sources can say that will change my support of Trump. He is all we got until 2020.
I expect this witch hunt to harm some people, probably innocent people. I expect the Democrats to use all of this to win elections in 2018 and 2020. So be it. I can't change it and our Republicans have neither the desire or the balls to try to stop the Democrats. But Trump is all we got. So he has my unequivocal support. Thanks to everyone for the pro- Trump comments. Glad to hear them and hope Trump carries on. Btw can we act like this when a Dem gets elected?
Fools rush in…and The Donald eats them for lunch…with ketchup and fries.

The writers cited in the Althouse thread seem to have people who are not mental midgets in their inner circle. What is it about the Donald, that makes his critics and enemies stoop well below his level? They have no sense of how their staged, manufactured news, underhanded malicious gossip, and maudlin histrionics are perceived by regular folks. They have done Himalayan damage to the body politic. For my part, twenty or so years ago, I did think that most people in the political class, the media, and academia, were on the level, and at least reasonably professional. I think just the opposite now. I don't blame the Donald for this; it has developed over decades, but I do think he sensed it and took advantage of it. QUOTE: Actually, less than nothing. Nothing-Lite. Part of Mueller's inquiry concerns Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. That is not nothing. So now y'all have gone from influencing to meddling.
That is something. U.S. Intelligence Community: The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.... These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there.
I find it absolutely amazing that when Obama was meddling in the Israeli elections and funneling taxpayer dollars to try and shut down Netanyahu nothing was said. Oh, and how about George Soros and his money infiltrating what appears to be most left leaning PACS in this country and around the world. Again nothing. So let me get this right, oh sorry I mean correct. Meddling in elections is perfectly OKay, when your guys do it, but even when it is a falsehood regarding Trump and Russians, and pushed to try to save Hillary's loss, suddenly meddling is HUGE.
Zach your slip is showing, you have no credibility anymore. I forgot George Soros signs your check, or bitcoin or whatever. Pocono Pam: I find it absolutely amazing that when Obama was meddling in the Israeli elections and funneling taxpayer dollars to try and shut down Netanyahu nothing was said.
In fact, there was a Congressional investigation. Infrastructure funded by the U.S. that had a legitimate purpose was later redirected to the Israeli election. New controls were implemented to prevent a repeat of the redirection. Illuminati confirmed:
