Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but scorning the Washington Establishment produces even greater anger.
The Establishment's full fury has been unleashed against Donald Trump and is not about to subside until its goal is reached: the removal of the president from office, either through impeachment or defeat in the 2020 election.
If there were more than the kitchen sink to throw at Trump, the Establishment would be throwing it. The latest is the hyping of private money paid to two women by Trump's disgraced lawyer, Michael Cohen. The women claim it was money to keep them quiet over alleged affairs with him.
Behavior that was tolerated, or overlooked, by previous presidents is now grounds for indictment and impeachment, says the Establishment. Members of Congress who claim Trump violated campaign finance laws by making personal payments to these women are mostly silent about a $17 million congressional fund out of which have come payments in unknown amounts to settle sexual harassment cases. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) used "office money" (translation, taxpayer dollars) to settle a sexual harassment case against him. He was eventually forced to resign.
Beyond the sideshow that has rapidly become center stage in Washington is the question of where the country is headed. There is a school of thought which claims Trump is the "last man standing" against a wave of socialism that would be sweeping the nation were it not for him.
That view was expressed Monday by Rush Limbaugh on his radio program, which is a go-to source for many conservatives. Limbaugh responded to an email he received from a listener: "His point is, this is all worth it. The alternative to Donald Trump was unacceptable -- Hillary Clinton and the continuation of the Obama agenda and the dilution of the United States of America as a sovereign nation and a continuation of it's becoming a member of the global conglomerate -- where there wouldn't be any debate about climate change; we would just pay up. Where there wouldn't be any debate about open borders; we would just keep them open. Where there wouldn't be any debate about whatever American culture or society is. It would be whatever the socialists said it was going to be."
Limbaugh's concern is that Trump voters might "go wobbly" and that if the president's approval numbers dip into the 30-percent range we might see a replay of what happened to Richard Nixon when a delegation of Republican members of Congress visited the White House and told Nixon his support had evaporated, subjecting him to likely impeachment by the House and conviction in the Senate.
Some congressional Democrats have said impeachment may not be their priority come January. Forty-six incoming House Democrats have sent a letter to their leadership asking that the focus be on legislation not investigations of Trump. That is not likely to play well to the Democrat base, which smells blood and wants Trump's head.
The key for conservatives, and especially Trump's loyal base of evangelical Christians, is how much more of this are they willing to take before Trump becomes an embarrassment to them, to their agenda and even their faith? Evangelicals, especially, are paying a price for their dismissal of Trump's past behavior and present tweets, which are becoming increasingly nasty.
A little humility would be especially helpful to Trump, but that might appear insincere and beyond his capabilities. One thing is certain: the Establishment won't give up in their daily pursuit of his destruction.
They must know that this is a dead end because theyve opened up another front - claiming his inauguration misspent funds.
How the hell did you misspend funds for an inauguration party?!
“A little humility would be especially helpful to Trump”
He wasn’t elected to be humble. We elected him to build the wall, reduce taxes, create jobs and wealth, drain the cesspool and do the will of the people. The established Democrats and Republicans are scared to death he will succeed and spoil their plans for a Global Government, with them in charge of course.
If Trump is harangued and not elected for what appears to be the establishment bringing him down, there will be deaths i think.
No threat, just a prediction. There is so much pent up anger that it wont be restrained if the only thing holding it back is perceived to be unjustly taken down.
WRONG! The correct answer is how much more lies and harassment of Trump are we going to take before we stop being peaceful about it. I suggest these leftist scum pay attention to France right now. You can only push people so far.
the Establishment has let WJC/HRC/Obama walk on far more serious issues for almost 30 years.
they try to pin this on DJT at their peril
If Trump was a Clintonista there would be a pile of bodies by now.
“for conservatives, and especially Trump’s loyal base of evangelical Christians, is how much more of this are they willing to take before Trump becomes an embarrassment to them...”
I didn’t vote for a national Daddy, or for a pious religious leader. And Hillary is a pedophile, homosexual loving, lesbian, burned-out Mena coke whore, who takes bribes and goes to Epstein island. So don’t waste your time preaching to me about how Trump is somehow immoral for getting a little strange
If Trump were Hitler like the Dems say he is, by now they’d either be dead or in labor camps or fled the country (which they’re always saying they’ll do).
Trump to patriots: “It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way.”
Well said.
Agreed.
I have been in ministry. I am not embrassed in the slightest. Thomas is too close to the Establishment himself - like McCarthy, and all the other pundits.
There’s no question at this point the far left have stage 4 TDS.
The implosion of their heads from the intense vacuum of nothingness is imminent.
High ranking members of the GOP cannot convince Trump they EVER supported him. Fact is we have clear evidence a good number of them were involved in the ongoing coup. Trumps base is WELDED to him. A threat to him is a threat to us. They know it. Trump knows it.
