I’m sick of seeing all these Bash Trump articles on FR. Flame me if you must but it won’t change how I feel.

Ridiculous. He didn’t do anything wrong and he doesn’t even need to give a “California apology,” which is, “I’m sorry that you’re upset.”

Here is an unfortunate truth: Apologies never appease real political enemies. The Democrats want to destroy Trump--and no apology is going to appease their blood lust. ... then no GOP President is going to be safe again....

Perceptive.

Being a good little boy does not mean you get a pat on the head by your opponents. They still kick your face in once they trip you.

For whatever reason it's burned in my memory when Ken Starr was rudely and deliberately interrupted repeatedly at the vary start of his testimony.

He thought it was fair to state some pro-Bill Clinton factors in his report and tell about those as areas of agreement. The Dems derisively allowed him a few lines about that and said "At least you have something of value you came up with."

I remember that lesson: compromise, appeasement and kindness do not work outside of Mister Rogers Neighborhood. 2019 USA is not that place.

"Apologies never appease real political enemies."

Exactly right. It's even worse than not appeasing them...an apology emboldens them and they know they gave you on the ropes. That's when they go for the jugular. Captain Nathan Brittles said it well...

National Review has ALWAYS been in the pocket of the Buckleyite CIA oligarch black ops criminal conspiracy. The John Birch Society referred to them as “The Eastern Liberal Establishment”, “liberal” in this case referring to classical British Liberalism which was little more than an industrial revolution overlay upon the British landed gentry, a slave owning, empire building aristocracy. That slave based economics mentality is what drove the working class into the arms of Karl Marx and gave birth to the term “wage slave”. They are an alien parasite species like kudzu or Asian clams.

An apology from Trump might go something like this.

I’m so sorry the dem party has devolved into immature dolts who have nothing but hate in their hearts.

I’m also sorry there are only a few elected dems in DC who can chew gum and walk at the same due to the incredible incompetence shown by the rest of them.

I’m sorry the dem party is nothing more than communist-light these days.

I’m sorry the dem party as a whole is so incredibly clueless and does not represent the American people outside its small base of freaks, fruits, and nuts.

Yes indeed; very sorry.

Please Jonah, you are out of your league. Maybe if you shut up now, no one will think you are a fool.

Maybe.

Damn you, Bill Clinton. If it wasn’t for Monica Lewinsky, we would never have heard of Lucianne Goldberg, and Jonah would still be living in her basement.

I’ll see your “impeachment inquiry”, and raise you a DOJ criminal investigation.

There’s not a chance in hell Democrats would accept an apology from a contrite Trump - they’d pocket it and still move to impeach.

Trump is innocent and owes Democrats nothing. He’s found the hill to die on and he will welcome impeachment.

All of this going to backfire on the Democrats and their Never Trumper fellow traveler quislings like Jonah Goldberg.

And Trump isn’t disposed to take his advice and roll over and play dead in front of the Democrats.

Never ever apologize to SJWs or leftists in general.

It’s only taken as an admission of guilt and causes a dogpile.

I’m sure an apology would quench the Democrats lust for the president’s blood. Jonah is dumber than I thought. Jonah must not have learned in his sheltered life that you never apologize for something you didn’t do. This is especially true when it comes to enemies who are trying to destroy you.

Not sure what happened to Jonah.

He's a weakling and a coward, intellectually as well as physically, and he can't bear to be judged among those--the President, for one---who make his failings that much more obvious.

"Apologize."

Oh just shut up.

Agree fully ! He should tell them to just take all their lies and slanders and GTH. Hopefully in a tweet, ha! Since they haven’t managed to produce a single crime against him.
