[I think it's profitable to continue the discussion about how the progressive Left is certain about President Trump's unsuitability for office in light of his domestic and foreign policy record, and the record of investigations that to no avail have sought to nail him.  And in light and in spite of this record, how our Left has become more confident that all their evidence-free allegations and more are true beyond the need for any further substantiation. gjr]

    “”You know, it might just be that ageing national police and intelligence agencies simply need to be booted to the street every couple of decades. Everybody gets fired, at least all executive staff. It’s in their nature to become increasingly dominant over time and they can represent a real threat to the republic at some point.”

    The unelected: Seven Days in May?
    Mudd then elaborated: “Let me give you one bottom line as a former government official. The government is going to kill this guy. The government is going to kill this guy because he doesn’t support them.” Mudd further clarified his assassination metaphor: “What I’m saying is government — people talk about the deep state — when you disrespect government officials who’ve done 30 years, they’re going to say, ‘Really?’”
    It was difficult to ascertain to what degree Mudd was serious or exaggerating the depth of deep-state loathing of Trump.
    Despite the predictions and expectations of nearly everyone associated with the establishment, in the first two years of his presidency, Trump has not resigned. He has not been impeached. He has not been indicted. He has not died or been declared non compos mentis. Trump did not govern as a liberal, as some of his Never Trump critics predicted. He had not been driven to seclusion by lurid exposés of his womanizing a decade earlier as a Manhattan television celebrity.
    An administrative state, swamp, deep state, call it what you wish, was wrong about Trump’s nomination, his election, and his governance. It was right only in its warnings that he could be crude and profane, with a lurid past and an ethical necropolis of skeletons in his closet — a fact long ago factored and baked into his supporters’ votes.
    At each stage, the erroneous predictions of the deep state prompted ever greater animus at a target that it could not quite understand, much less derail, and so far has not been able to destroy. By autumn 2018, the repetitive nightly predictions of cable-news pundits that the latest presidential controversy was a “bombshell,” or marked a “turning point,” or offered proof that “the walls were closing in,” or ensured that “impeachment was looming on the horizon,” had amounted to little more than monotonous and scripted groupthink.
    Never before in the history of the presidency had a commander in chief earned the antipathy of the vast majority of the media, much of the career establishments of both political parties, the majority of the holders of the nation’s accumulated personal wealth, and the permanent federal bureaucracy.
    And lived to tell the tale.

    Its about damn time! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving POS. VHS videos?!? Protected by the paradise of corruption aka Chicago?
    “Illinois has consecutive sentencing for multiple child sex victims, so you take very tough potential sentencing for even one charge and then you add multiple victims,” which adds up to a possible sentence of 15-to-20-plus years, Salerno says, noting that “sentencing ranges with all the counts, and victims’ [accounts] could theoretically vary a great deal. However, we can assume that multiple victims testified already at the grand jury [this week], and it’s been reported there is at least one video. It’s going to be tough to pay his way out of this.”
    So they’re all lying?,” Salerno asks rhetorically. “With multiple victims all saying similar things, his lawyer will have a hard time getting around that. And as far as sentencing, any judge will know his past history and how flagrant this behavior is,” he added, referring to Kelly’s continued and unabashed connection with multiple young women, even after his 2002 arrest.
    And then there is this –
    A no bail warrant has been issued for his arrest by the Chicago police and he will appear in bond court on Saturday

    The Mueller Investigation may contain all the answers that the Dems don’t like. On to Collusion, Chapter 2. Forward Ho!
    Why don’t they just turn Trump upside down and shake him, fill his pockets with stones, tie some rocks around his feet and neck, toss him down the well, and if he sinks he is a witch.

    “There’s been no more reliable regurgitator of fantastical Trump-Russia collusion theories than Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. So when the House Intelligence Committee chairman sits down to describe a “new phase” of the Trump investigation, pay attention. These are the fever swamps into which we will descend after Robert Mueller’s probe.
    “The collusionists need a “new phase” as signs grow that the special counsel won’t help realize their reveries of a Donald Trump takedown. They had said Mueller would provide all the answers. Now that it seems they won’t like his answers, Democrats and media insist that any report will likely prove “anticlimactic” and “inconclusive.” “This is merely the end of Chapter 1,” said Renato Mariotti, a CNN legal “analyst.”
    Schiff turned this week to a dependable scribe — the Washington Post’s David Ignatius — to lay out the next chapter of the penny dreadful. Ignatius was the original conduit for the leak about former national security adviser Mike Flynn’s conversations with a Russian ambassador, and the far-fetched claims that Flynn had violated the Logan Act of 1799. Schiff has now dictated to Ignatius a whole new collusion theory. Forget Carter Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos — whoever. The real Trump-Russia canoodling rests in “Trump’s finances.” The future president was “doing business with Russia” and “seeking Kremlin help.”
    “So, no apologies. No acknowledgment that Schiff & Co. for years have pushed fake stories that accused innocent men and women of being Russian agents. No relieved hope that the country might finally put this behind us. Just a smooth transition — using Russia as a hook — into Trump’s finances. Mueller who?”—-Kimberly Strassel.

    In the “what a surprise..NOT” category: a recent study published in the journal ‘Science Advances’ concluded that social media over 65 and politically conservative users shared nearly seven times as many articles from fake news domains as the youngest age group ages 18 to 29 years old. As GOP strategist Rick Wilson noted,
    “when they read on RealEaglePatriotNewsBuzzfeed3000.ru and they see a story about Hillary being a robot lesbian they go awwooow. They love that stuff and they become addicted to it.” He added that this was the real problem behind the spread of fake news.

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2019/01/10/new-york-times-forced-correct-manafort-russia-collusion-bombshell/
    Oh, I remember now why Maggie’s name rings a bell! Found it. All the news that is fit to trash.
    “One January 2015 strategy document — designed to plant stories on Clinton’s decision-making process about whether to run for president — singled out reporter Maggie Haberman, then of Politico, now covering the election for the New York Times, as a “friendly journalist” who has “teed up” stories for them in the past and “never disappointed” them. Nick Merrill, the campaign press secretary, produced the memo, according to the document metadata:
    That strategy document plotted how Clinton aides could induce Haberman to write a story on the thoroughness and profound introspection involved in Clinton’s decision-making process. The following month, when she was at the Times, Haberman published two stories on Clinton’s vetting process; in this instance, Haberman’s stories were more sophisticated, nuanced, and even somewhat more critical than what the Clinton memo envisioned.
    But they nonetheless accomplished the goal Clinton campaign aides wanted to fulfill of casting the appearance of transparency on Clinton’s vetting process in a way that made clear she was moving carefully but inexorably toward a presidential run.
    Given more than 24 hours to challenge the authenticity of these documents and respond, Merrill did not reply to our emails. Haberman declined to comment.

    ,,,Sorry to do this to the Poor Saps for (((why is he is still President?))) Trump,,,
    President Donald Trump said in tweets this week that work is being done to build his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall ― but he used months-old footage of repairs on existing parts of the barrier in an effort to support his claims.
    “We have just built this powerful Wall in New Mexico,” Trump tweeted Wednesday with a video showing workers and construction vehicles at the border. He said that portion of the wall had been completed on Jan. 30, some 47 days ahead of schedule, and that “many miles more” currently were being built.
    However, it’s not true that the wall featured in the video had been “just built.”
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose logo appears in the bottom corner of the video Trump shared, actually produced the clip in September 2018, a spokesperson told veterans news website Task & Purpose. It shows “a replacement project” for a section of a barrier that was in place before Trump assumed office.

    Well of course they did –
    The H-1B program allows foreign visa-workers — but not spouses — to take middle-class jobs from Americans. But the H-1B salaries are very low, so the bonus program allows the spouses to supplement the family income. The extra income encourages the lower wage H-1B workers to stay in the United States instead of returning home after several years.
    Roughly 100,000 bonus work permits have been issued via the program, which is dubbed the “H4EAD” program.
    This bonus program was created by former President Barack Obama — without any approval by Congress — because many H-1B workers from India are leaving the United States. The Indians are leaving because they know they have to work and wait many years to get the real payoff for their low-wage H-1B work — a green card which would allow them and their extended families to move to the United States.
    But each Indian H-1B who leaves opens up a middle-class job for an American graduate, marking another success for Trump’s Inauguration Day promise of “Hire American.”
    Trump’s Hire American promise, however, is a financial problem for companies because Americans must be paid in dollars, not with government-supplied green cards.

    We have got to look at candidates, you know, not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or their gender and not by their age,” Sanders replied. “I mean, I think we have got to try to move us toward a non-discriminatory society which looks at people based on their abilities, based on what they stand for.”
    The reaction from many quarters of the liberal establishment was fit for a Tom Wolfe novel. The LGBT magazine Out ran the sardonic headline, “Bernie Sanders Bravely Asks Us to Consider a Straight President.” Neera Tanden, the head of the Center for American Progress, sneered, “At a time where folks feel under attack because of who they are, saying race or gender or sexual orientation or identity doesn’t matter is not off, it’s simply wrong.”

    He continued: “The blue parts of America are having a big prosperity party while the big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail — and they still use the mail.”
    The comedian went on to explain why he thinks red-state voters are so “pissed off.”
    “The fly-over states have become the passed-over states, that’s why red state voters are so pissed off. They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”

    A reason I love Trump is he does not speak with Forked Tongue. He said that he has more Native American in him than Pocahontas, which is none.
    Speaking of she who speaks with Forked Tongue, a quick reference into Bill’s Encyclopedia of Worthless Information reveals than Pocahontas’s (in)famous Pow-Wow recipe was plagiarized. The recipe in all actuality is French. The dummy plagiarized a French dish, ROFLMAO. Speaking of doubling down on culture appropriation! Like killing two birds with one stone….er….PETA says to say like “feeding two birds with one scone.” The truth shall set you free.

    “I had a little bit to drink maybe that’s the reason that I couldn’t walk away but being discriminated for so many times in my life, I just had to stand up for myself,” she said. “He’s not a victim. I am the victim. I have been bullied, OK?”

    It’s open season on killing cops in CA. The same bunch that spit on returning vets are stilll spiting one those who risk all so they can burn their America flags and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It’s what makes California such an awesome state.
    “Hernandez-Morales, who lived in Napa, had been deported three times before 2011: twice in 2007 and once in 2010. Since 2011, ICE had issued four separate detainers for him related to arrests on suspicion of driving under the influence, battery on a peace officer, selling liquor to a minor and unknown probation violations, ICE officials said in a statement to The Chronicle.
    None of the detainers — which were issued to the Napa and Sonoma county jails — was honored by jail staff, ICE officials said. Specific details of arrests and violations were not immediately available.
    “This incident may have been prevented if ICE had been notified about any of the multiple times Hernandez-Morales was released from local custody over the last few years,” immigration officials said in a statement. “This is an impactful, scary example of how public safety is affected by laws or policies limiting local law enforcement agencies’ ability to cooperate with ICE.”

    Some of us grumpy Republicans can’t take a joke, I reckon. Glad she survived. Fired 15 shots at the criminal illegal. Good job. I call that unloading. Guess he won’t be deported for a fourth time.
