[Well, let's really focus on what happened in Alabama, and how the Impeach Trump Initiative (ITI) will now proceed apace in Dem circles and in their coordinated lamestream.  2018 will be a mid-term election to remember.  gjr]

    The “job” approval rating Trump enjoyed early on was a natural American coming together for the new president. It fell apart when the attacks started. Remember the guffawing when Trump made the claim that Comey told him three times he was not under investigation? The story (the fictional story) from the left has been that Trump colluded with Putin to win the election. I ain’t seen evidence of it yet… have you?
    I made no mention of “swiftboarding” [sic] Paul.

    Planned Parenthood is the leading protector of child molesters.
    I have never seen them brought up in all of this broo-ha about under age sexual relations.
    And what about the women that abet and cover for the sexual peccadillos of the men involved? And what about the women that sexually abuse men? From the left – silence.
    The new witch hunt is on, but of course, limited to the guilty and the unprotected.
    The guilty will hang as is his want, but the unprotected will hang as well, as is not his wont.
    The political campaign is over, but reality moves on as ever.
    And where are the finger pointers of morality now that their enemies have been squashed?

    Okay Good eye So let me repeat my question
    Interesting to see your reference to “Swiftboating” as to the fate of Moore. You must agree then that what the Bush team did to John Kerry was equally devious because that’s where the term came from.

    The Swiftboaters were not Bush. They were servicemen that served with Kerry and knew he was a liar about his service. After Kerry tossed his medals over the White House fence and Kennedy had him speak against his fellow soldiers, that pissed them off big league.

    “No one cares” said the cat that ate the canary.
    Honestly, Lerner’s excuse for sealing her testimony would be funny if the context wasn’t such an egregious display of government abuse. Her argument goes something like, “I’m scared that people will hate me more if they hear my testimony, which no one really cares to hear so don’t let them hear it.” What, are we in middle school here? The real question is, what are they seeking to hide?
    Mark Meckler, a Tea Party leader who has long led the class action lawsuit drive, responded that sealing Lerner and Paz’s testimony would “set an outrageous legal precedent, allowing the testimony of egregious acts by public servants to be permanently hidden.” In fact, he continued, “The irony of this argument is astounding. The government has admitted that these people unconstitutionally targeted people based on their political beliefs. Now the individuals most responsible for the targeting wish to finish off their secret scheme to illegally target their fellow citizens, in secrecy.”

    That tells me you don’t want to know the answer, Paul.
    At the time of the election, Trump was not being investigated. When Trump asked Comey if he was under investigation after the inauguration, Comey told him he wasn’t. Three times. Confirmed under oath to the Congress during testimony.
    The (yes, fake) news being spread had the effect of peeling off more moderate Dems and independents away from giving the new President room to govern. He’s left with his core… and if Mueller doesn’t produce something related to collusion with the Russians during the campaign there will be repercussions.

    Yep, that is how fickle (unprincipled) the looney tunes Lefties are. They screamed for FBI Comey’s removal until the moment Trump fired him. The list is long of prominent Dem members of Congress who were all on the same page, all demanding Comey’s head on a platter, all denouncing, disowning, and diaavowing the FBI Director….to the very hour of his hasty departure from the FBI. Obstruction!
    BYW, have you noticed how quiet My Gal has been lately? I would have lost money betting she would take full credit for Alabama, but nooo, she went silent. I guess with these delicious IG investigation reevaluations, her lawyer’s probably told her to zip it. That and parading around in front of the cameras holding hands with her husband under the warm spotlights on stage may not be a wise idea right now with all the womanfolk out gunning for bear. Male bears. Hairy male bears that can’t keep their paws to themselves. Bill has been strangely way less of a talker during both the Convergence and the Reckoning.

    Yes indeed it will George. Historically the party of the President loses seats in the House and Senate in the mid-term elections. Combine that with Trumps historic unpopularity (at this time) and you have the ingredients to make Republicans shaky.

    On Dec. 12, The Union got it wrong.
    “It’s the biggest promotion this town has ever seen.”
    That’s how Nevada City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cathy Whittlesey describes “The Christmas Card,” the 2006 Hallmark Channel holiday movie filmed in Nevada City and featuring Victorian Christmas.
    Well, well, well. Of course the old white people longing for and living in the Ozzie and Harriet bubble would say such racist and reprehensible nonsense. The Lefties, the movers, shakers, the voice of all things liberal, the very ones that are at the heart and soul of Progressive thought see Hallmark Channel’s “The Christmas Card” as the vile piece of homophobic propaganda it is.
    From Slate, the daily must read of our friends on the left.
    “After watching a few of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas films, the network’s burgeoning red-state appeal comes into focus. As much as these movies offer giddy, predictable escapes from Trumpian chaos, they all depict a fantasy world in which America has been Made Great Again. Real and fictional heartland small towns with names such as Evergreen and Cookie Jar are as thriving as their own small businesses, and even a high school art teacher (played by Trump supporter and the face of Hallmark, Candace Cameron Bure) can afford a lavishly renovated Colonial home. They brim with white heterosexuals who exclusively, emphatically, and endlessly bellow “Merry Christmas” to every lumberjack and labradoodle they pass. They’re centered on beauty-pageant heroines and strong-jawed heroes with white-nationalist haircuts. There are occasional sightings of Christmas sweater–wearing black people, but they exist only to cheer on the dreams of the white leads, and everyone on Trump’s naughty list—Muslims, gay people, feminists—has never crossed the snowcapped green-screen mountains to taint these quaint Christmas villages. “Santa Just Is White” seems to be etched into every Hallmark movie’s town seal.”
    ——Aha, the crux of the problem. It’s Trump in collusion with Hallmark to spew Red State vomit:
    “Of all his empty guarantees, the president has perhaps fulfilled none better than a counterstrike in the War on Christmas, and no battalion has fired more rooty-toot artillery for him than the Hallmark Channel. In 2017, the network is premiering 21 original Christmas movies (up from 20 last year)—42 hours of sugary, sexist, preposterously plotted, plot hole–festooned, belligerently traditional, ecstatically Caucasian cheer.
    —-Hmmm. Ok, how about a big “Merry Christmas”, you adorable Miss Scrooge, you.
    “And pour a hot toddy down your pants every time a character urges the female lead to abandon her career in the Big Liberal City to restore traditions and family in her hometown, as women” blah, blah, blah.
    —Hey, that deserves a triple dog dare Merry Christmas!

    “I think we will be picking up seats as the democrat party is self-destructing.” What is that based on Todd, the massive Republican losses (particularly to women) in Virginia or Roy Moore’s loss to a Democrat in the reddest state in America? The republicans are having their chance at governing now with full control of all three branches of government. Just don’t forget that trump didn’t win the popular vote, is the most unpopular president (at this point) in history, and the only piece of significant legislation he has gotten passed is the tax giveaway (without any hearings what-so-ever) to himself and the wealthiest most corporate friendly cabinet in history. Voters are leaving the Republican Party in droves (now only 35%) and you say the Dems are self-destructing. This, of course, does not include pussy grabbing or the Russians. So we will find out in less than a year how the trump version republican leadership plays with the American people. Fool me once, fool me twice. We shall see if the American people will get fooled again or not.
