Please stop giving them a heads-up. Thank-you.

“And now the Democrats are making the same mistake all over again.”

And we are wise to let them! :)

[brownsfan]

I hope the article is right. Unfortunately, there are a lot of mindless bots driven by hate in America today.

[treetopsandroofs]

Except for that aging thing, I’m looking forward to November!

They know we know, but they can't help themselves. Like the Wicked Witch, the Democrats are in a mental feedback loop. For them, the night of November 8, 2018 never ended. They can't get over the election and so they will run on impeaching President Trump no matter how much it will hurt their chances of winning. Hopefully, they never get over it.

The left bet everything on hating Trump

Hate doesn't work well in jokes or the news or as a campaign plank. Once again the media et al cannot see clearly thru their hate filled blinders that shape every single so called report so obviously people turn them off and tune them out, they again hurt their own cause.

But the Blues insist on cloaking their economic opportunism in moral preening.

The left calls this “Doing well by doing good.”

It is very easy to rationalize anything as “doing good” when it benefits you, personally.

All the most evil men in recent history claimed they were “doing good” Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Poi, etc.

People always their pocketbooks.

What Democrats are telling them is ignore the good news and hate Trump because well... he rubs them the wrong way.

The rabid few have a megaphone but the rest of us have tuned them out.

That’s why the Democratic Party is in trouble. Its not talking to Middle America and its still angry for being rejected.

And it won’t learn a thing come November should it be trounced again at the polls.

If the left were rational this would be a heads up. They are not. they believe the Trump component of culture is stupid and immoral. They treat everything that comes out of Trumpism with absolute contempt. Telling them the truth immunizes them from the truth. They will never accept their failings because their commitment is absolute and unwavering. They are leftist zealots who would sooner die than admit they are wrong.

[struggle]

Even better is that the hard left is turning out in the primaries and getting REAL lefties in to the generals.

[laplata]

Greenfield is right on, as usual.

Thanks for posting.

Good post there!

Right on.

The Truth to the Left/Progressives is whatever they wish it to be.

The difference between humor and malice lies in how seriously it’s meant. Stewart, Colbert and Oliver tried to get under the fence by being self-deprecating. But it’s not the deprecation of the self that matters. It’s the deprecation of the worldview of the joke. Liberating humor treats the entire world as a joke. Totalitarian humor is a contemptuous lecture...

BINGO!

“All the most evil men in recent history claimed they were “doing good” Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Poi, etc.”

Absolutely. Because these corrupt power-seekers are all some variant of a Sociopath.

F. K. Hayek and others have written about the truism that in “democratic” politics, it’s the scum of gene pool that end up running things. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We’ve seen this in high relief in Western Europe for decades.

Now it’s here. The scale both of the corruption and arrogance from the top people in federal agencies was breathtaking throughout the Obama’s administration. As has been, thank God, that of their incompetence.

Of course they KNEW Clinton would win. From their vantage she was holding on to every card in the deck. Media, criminal and counterintelligence investigations, breaking laws and regulations recklessly and ceaselessly. A vast web of pay-to-play alliance spanning the globe. Much larger campaign war chest (and we’ll likely never know how much was diverted from government slush funds and other taxpayer sources.

Trump has transacted billions of dollars across decades. Countless deals, ventures, contracts, relationships.

There was no way they wouldn’t find something. They engineered the bogus counterintelligence investigation complete with FISA surveillance, spying and entrapment attempts, to ensure enough dirt could be exposed and (they hoped) indictments would fly before the election.

When that didn’t work, SIXTEEN career DOJ prosecutors led by a heavily conflicted former FBI Director were put on the case. With all that firepower, they’ve still come up empty. This was all supposed to go away.

Instead, everything Mueller’s team “uncovered” or gleaned from the earlier FBI investigation, all of his prosecutorial endeavors are going to be thrown out as unconstitutional retroactive to their appointments. Exposing him, and many others, to malicious prosecution, abuse of power, and a host of other charges.

Cannot believe the time we’re living in. God save our VERY Stable Genius POTUS. Nobody else could have pulled this off. Love how he seems to gain strength and resolve from all the Enemy’s machinations to eviscerate and bring him down!

What is especially astounding about this statement is that it initially comes across as hyperbole, but it's the absolute truth!
