IT started as a face-saving exercise by Hillary Clinton to try to explain away her election loss to a vulgarian real estate billionaire from Queens.
But the absurd Russia conspiracy has somehow snowballed into a crisis that threatens to bring down Donald Trump, has all but paralysed his administration, and unleashed the most unhinged attacks on a US president in living memory.
Inevitably, last week the violent language and “Assassinate Trump” memes erupted in a burst of deadly gunfire at an early morning baseball practice for Republican congressmen near Washington, DC.
The gunman was 66-year-old James Hodgkinson, a left-wing Bernie Sanders activist and campaign volunteer, whose social media postings show him to be a classic Trump hater.
He died in hospital after being shot by Capitol Hill officers guarding Majority Whip Steve Scalise. Without them it would have been a massacre.
Scalise remains in hospital, the bullet having smashed into his hip and travelled through his pelvis, damaging organs.
Fox News rightly called it a left-wing assassination attempt, the inevitable extension of the hyperbole and violent “resistance” that has engulfed the US since Trump’s election, and which has been tacitly encouraged by Democrat grandees, by Clinton, by former President Obama, by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi.
In demonising Trump to delegitimise his victory, they effectively sanction ever more violent rhetoric from celebrities which would have the average Muslim teenager locked up.
There was Madonna telling a women’s rally she’d “thought a lot about blowing up the White House” and “comedian” Kathy Griffin posing with a mocked up decapitated head of Trump dripping with blood, an image which we are told traumatised his young son.
There was the Snoop Dog music video in which he “shoots” a Trump lookalike in the head with a fake gun. Currently playing in New York is a Shakespeare in the Park performance which depicts Trump as Julius Caesar being brutally stabbed to death by women and minorities.
The left-wing Huffington Post ran a story last weekend which called for the “execution” of Trump because “impeachment isn’t enough”.
So it’s no surprise that actual violence erupted.
As Newt Gingrich, the former Republican speaker of the House said: “You’ve had a series of things that send signals that it’s OK to hate Trump, it’s OK to think of Trump in violent terms, it’s OK to consider assassinating Trump.”
Yet those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome justify their “resistance” with the delusion that Trump is some sort of Manchurian candidate, a Russian agent selling out his country. Despite a distinct lack of evidence and clearly partisan leaks from intelligence sources linked to the Obama administration, the entire justice apparatus has been employed to investigate this preposterous Russia conspiracy.
The Justice Department has appointed a special counsel, there are FBI probes and congressional inquiries. It has led to the forced resignation of General Mike Flynn as Trump’s national security adviser, the sacking of FBI director James Comey, allegations of Russia collusion against Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, and, finally, reports last week that Trump himself is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
Those pushing the conspiracy don’t want Trump to be able to govern. They don’t like the way the election turned out and they don’t respect the people who voted for him.
Yet they never acknowledge that Trump and his team had legitimate reason to want to restore good relations with Vladimir Putin.
They forget how culpable the Obama administration was in the Syrian disaster, prevaricating, arming anti-government “rebels” which effectively meant assisting ISIS, and prolonging the civil war.
As Clinton’s leaked emails show, she pushed for “regime change” in Libya — that turned out well — and wanted to do the same in Syria.
It was only Russia, for its own reasons, stepping in to support the Assad regime in Syria, which stopped the rise of ISIS. Anyone who cares about the plight of Christians in the Middle East would know that the Assad government, repellent as it may be, is the only barrier to total Christian genocide.
What the left also won’t tell you is that their rejection of Trump is driven by visceral loathing of the evangelical Christians who voted him into office, with their opposition to progressive shibboleths from identity politics and extreme feminism and abortion to same sex marriage.
Putin also is supported by socially conservative Christians in Russia and has been vilified worldwide since he introduced a “gay propaganda” law in 2013 which bans the promotion of homosexuality to minors and was labelled “state-sponsored homophobia” by LGBTQI activists.
The alignment of Putin and Trump, even if only to defeat a common Islamist enemy, stirs paranoid antipathy among progressives for reasons they have not spelled out.
Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate: secretive, entitled, unpleasant, you name it. Her recklessness in using a private server for classified State Department documents and the sloppiness of her campaign which made her emails vulnerable to hacking, whether or not it was by Russia.
She couldn’t articulate why she was running for President other than because she was a woman and it was her turn.
Her strategy was to dehumanise Trump and his voters as a “basket of deplorables” - “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”, as she told an LGBTQI fundraiser in New York during the campaign.
Trump’s unlikely victory was a repudiation of Clinton personally and more generally of the left’s entire bankrupt project of identity politics.
That’s why they will do anything to overturn the result.
Perhaps a march of at least 5 million people should show up with signs: “We have your back, Pres. Trump!” and then go visit with their Congressmen and Senators. That would be hard to ignore. The Deep State will never give us another chance for freedom if they take out Pres. Trump and the sheeple do nothing.
Allah Akbar for granny Klintoon ..
Hammer hits the nail on the head.
That is a good idea in principle and FR should initiate it post haste. I will not however, go to D.C. unarmed, I worked in that fever swamp for over 20 years, never again will I give them the upper hand. I'm willing to drop it all and show, I'll even carry your sign, so long as the reverse side states, "We warned you, we would come armed next time!"
When running thru all the celebrities urging violence, everyone seems to forget Patton Oswalt (Spence on King of Queens) who tweeted out pictures of several Trump hotels, and urged ISIS to bomb them.
Think about that a minute, Oswalt so hates Trump that he would like to see hundreds and even thousands of people, including children, on vacation or business trips killed for the sin of staying at a Trump hotel.
Yet, I didn’t hear a single peep of condemnation from any democrat, Hollyweird type, or anyone in the media. To me, this is one of the biggest examples of just how sick the left has become.
I agree the republican political class is aghast that someone who had “paid no dues+ was elected and that Americans have had it up to here with their stupidity and their collusion.
Except the fake news about the Trump administration failing.
What is reported has nothing to do with what is actually happening and is unknown and not reported.
Those accustomed to “knowing” don’t know and write blather and fake news to earn their keep
America has a serious surplus of journalists
Agree, but there needs to be high profile national leadership to make that happen. There are a few commentators left who get it, but they will soon be silenced if the coup proceeds much further. People like Lou Dobbs and Jeanine Pirro, along with Rush Limbaugh could form the nucleus of a drive for millions to march on DC with torches and pitchforks to back President Trump.
By and large. But the coup attempt was not spun up by HIllary alone. Comey is not an innocent victim, for example. See too, the January ODNI report that triggered the Congressional hearing branch of the Witch Hunt.
Trump had his finger on this. He's mentiond that the BIG story is the unmasking and the leaking.
Hillary Clinton Obama and the media all guilty.
He was only following Hillary’s lead...joining the resistance.
Yes, Ryan was hoping that Trump would step down so the RNC could install Yeb! as the new nominee.
Steve was investigating Adult and Child Trafficking also, something that we have all read about in the Hillary emails; John Podesta emails; David Brock and Robby Mook and the Washington D.C. pedahilia ring...

Consider Proverb 6:18 and the world the Clintons, along with obama, the GOPe and other progressives, have created around them and us.
Their haughty eyes and lying tongues have turned the hearts of the just and the unjust and the good and the bad alike into accepting, downloading and running their malware.
Throughout her long life both in the public eye and as a public servant, she has been a frequent false witness uttering lies and spreading strife among the populations here and abroad.
She and those who follow her all devise wicked plans, their feet run rapidly to evil and their hands are stained, figuratively and literally, with the blood of innocents.
I wonder if they are aware of the danger they're in, but it doesn't appear that they are aware of anything more than their hatred of those who stand in the way of their agenda.
Do they not recognize their agenda's author? Do they not know which tree this bitter fruit has fallen from?
Apparently not, and as such, I doubt that she and the rest can save themselves, not without our prayers and His devine intervention.
Only God can turn the progressives like Hillary and her followers now.
And He and they need our prayers and our love for our neighbors, whether they know it or not, merit it or not, or return it or not.
They are a big cross to bear, but such are the times believers live in.
Sorry about that...
status quo, because The Donald wishes to stop the gub mint gravy train.
at least 1/2 of the federal gub mint is horse crap.
One of the best summations out there.
Well, according to him, every American should be dead by now, since the shooting, because thanks to "gun violence," 93 MILLION Americans die every day.
Hello? Is there anyone out there? Yoo hoo?!
Maybe I escaped the carnage because I live in Canada...
Great article; thanks for posting.
Please see my #38. I hope you made it through, FRiend, although if anyone survived McCauliffe’s (sp?)’s predicted slaughter, it would be FReepers. ;)
