Trump goes scorched earth against impeachment talk
The Hill ^ | 05/25/19 12:35 PM EDT | JORDAN FABIAN

President Trump’s scorched-earth offensive against congressional Democrats this week is a clear sign he sees his path to reelection as being paved through battles with his opponents more than collaboration.

The president’s decisions to walk out of a White House meeting on infrastructure and to belittle and poke Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with personal attacks are likely to excite Trump supporters who like nothing more than his confrontations with the establishment.

“Donald Trump is a fighter, there’s no ambiguity about that, and he’s going to fight for what he believes in,” said Bryan Lanza, a former Trump campaign and transition aide. “He’s going to show he will do what’s right for the taxpayers and the voters, but all the Democrats want to do is talk about impeachment.”

Heading into an era of divided government, White House officials pointed to last year’s criminal-justice law as evidence Trump was capable of working across the aisle on big issues like infrastructure, trade and prescription drug-pricing. Failing to address those priorities could be a turn off with independent voters.

It would also undercut the notion he can use his status as a businessman and Washington outsider to cut through partisan gridlock to address the needs of the country.

And it takes the focus off Trump’s stewardship of a growing economy, which at present still looks like his greatest strength in a political campaign.

Collaboration? Whats that? How the hell does he collaborate with those who oppose him at every corner?

To hell with each and every one of them. You do NOT collaborate with Satanic SOBs.

Note; the word Satan means deceiver as I am to understand it. That fits them.

Truth equals 'belittlement'? The 'red' mammy Nan had just accused the President of a 'cover-up'... All he did was clarify what she sounds like... Truth is not in fashion these days for the majority.

He has been essentially “going it alone,” because his own RINO-infested Party won’t even “collaborate” with him. Come on people, throw both the RATs AND the RINOs out next election. What I want to know is if we RIF Mc Connell, who would his likely successor be? Or is the US Senate “Repubican contingent, so full of RINO $hit that it wouldn’t make a difference?

The dems have been raising the pot for the last 2 years hoping Trump would fold but Trump has steadily been calling. Now it’s down to the final table and the President has gone “all in”, they are about to leave the table, broke and disgusted.

Actually, Satan is a Hebrew word which means ‘enemy’, which also fits.

‘Devil’ means deceiver.

It’s easy to get the two confused. Jesus calls ‘Satan the father of lies’.

They think Trump is going scorched earth? They ain’t seen nothing yet, compared to what his supporters will do if they start impeachment. The money that will go to the campaigns of the opponents of those ‘Rats would be unbelievable. And that is just for starters.

It means Adversarial Accuser, but the other attributes also follow.

It has been said that all of human history is part of an appeals trial process for the fallen angels after they were condemned to the Lake of Fire.

God then created mankind, a creature which sinned after Creation without eternal life, so now we are all condemned before we are saved.

Salvation is available, through faith in Christ, and is only as hard as one makes it, as all that is required is faith alone through Christ alone (what He provided at the Cross).

In the long run, every feasible alternative to God’s Plan is being tendered by the Adversary in hopes of escaping their Judgment. When his systems fail and becomes obvious to all of Creation, then the sentence will be executed.

God’s Plan prevails, but as we approach the inevitable, the Adversary will attempt to drag down everybody around him to his same dismal sentence.

As others have pointed out, the video needed no doctoring. What we see is what she is. She needs to resign from congress.
