    BillT 934am – On the money Mr Tozer, that gathering highlighted the leftists’ fundamental tenet of rules for the elite vs for the hoi polloi. Obama added insult to injury with his highly political and vitriolic campaign speech which he substituted for the eulogy that he was supposed to give at Lewis’ funeral. All could see that the occasion was more of a political rally than a somber celebration of Lewis’ life when Barry’s speech was interrupted by cheers, clapping, and standing ovations by the attendees. They all knew what was coming down.

    On July 19 our Liar in Chief stated in an interview that aired July 19 on “Fox News Sunday.
    “We’re signing a healthcare plan within two weeks, a full and complete healthcare plan.”
    Well Trumpers that means we’ll have that plan signed by next Monday. Problem is it hasn’t even been presented to the public let alone debated and reviewed before his touted “signing. George, is this an example of outright lying or one that in your view will be fulfilled by his stated deadline on Monday?
    “President Donald Trump said he plans to approve a healthcare plan “within two weeks,” in an interview that aired July 19 on “Fox News Sunday.”
    The president didn’t provide details on what would be included in the healthcare plan, but he said major healthcare and immigration initiatives would be put in place in coming weeks.
    “We’re signing a healthcare plan within two weeks, a full and complete healthcare plan,” President Trump said. “We’re going to sign an immigration plan, a healthcare plan, and various other plans. Nobody will have done what I’m doing in the next four weeks.”

    PaulE 1018am – I think you again misunderstand such statements. Trump is saying that his administration’s healthcare plan would be ready for signing in two weeks were it to pass through Congress on greased skids, which everyone knows it will not. Now are you among those who don’t understand such bravura, and instead breathlessly seek to add it to your people’s stash of ‘thousands of Trump lies’.
    Yes, this is an inconsequentially inaccurate statement that doesn’t compare with the ones made by the Dem leadership, lies that actually cause rank and file Americans to make erroneous decisions which affect their lives and livelihood. I’ve spent some effort in these pages pointing them out to you so you can perhaps learn to tell the difference. Alas.

    Quotes and a meme or two
    Insight: โ€œMen are rewarded and punished not for what they do, but rather for how their acts are defined. This is why men are more interested in better justifying themselves than in behaving themselves.โ€ โ€”Thomas Szasz (1920-2012)
    For the record: โ€œThe idea that the police are wantonly killing black men is a creation of a politicized press and an elite establishment dedicated to the idea that racism is Americaโ€™s defining trait.โ€ โ€”Heather Mac Donald in a lecture first removed by YouTube for violating โ€œCommunity Guidelinesโ€ and then reinstated with an age restriction of โ€œinappropriateโ€
    Demo-gogues, Part I: โ€œBull Connor may be gone, but today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of Black Americans. George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.โ€ โ€”Barack Obama during a eulogy political speech at John Lewisโ€™s funeral
    Demo-gogues, Part II: โ€œThere are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting โ€ฆ attacking our voting rights โ€ฆ even undermining the Postal Service in the run-up to an election thatโ€™s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people donโ€™t get sick!โ€ โ€”Barack Obama
    Non compos mentis: โ€œWe hold China as a potential trading partner, as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time, and as a country growing into a respectable nation amongst other nations. I deeply believe that.โ€ โ€”Senator Dianne Feinstein
    Braying jenny: โ€œThis president is absolutely outrageous in the way that he carries out the playbook of third world countries with dictators.โ€ โ€”Rep. Maxine Waters
    And lastโ€ฆ โ€œThe same people who said Trump would destroy America are currently burning America to the ground.โ€ โ€”Ryan Fournier

    But what you really miss in these exchanges is the aplomb with which you and yours use asymmetry to gleefully highlight the bygone sins of Republicans when necessary to make your point, and then turn around to mount the high horse with ‘well, that was then, but this is now’ when others take their turn at citing the bygone iniquities of Demorcrats.

    The bottom line George that you don’t seem to give a shit that Trump continually lies to the American people. It is intelligent people like you that have allowed the Republican party to support this behavior because you are an enabler of Trump.
    Whatever happens to the Republican party, as you articulated brilliantly in your Dilemma of a Disillusioned and Disaffected Republican post, is because of people of your persuasion that refuse to speak out against this man who is a total liar. My latest example occurs almost every day.
    In 2016 you expressed in this blog that you were a Romney supporter early on. Romney is at least a man of integrity and he has been ostracized by the Party.
    My speculation is that Trump will probably lose so the question is where does the Republican party go from here. Of course I may be wrong but that’s the way it looks at this time and although you won’ express it you probably agree.

I also understand the nature of politics and politicians, and know which in battles I can make a dent or just bend my pick.
