Democrats wage anti-Trump offensive for their own gain
nypost.com ^ | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 01/08/2017 6:30:56 AM PST by RoosterRedux

This is a first: Donald Trump is guilty of an understatement, of making a molehill out of a mountain. He called the Washington furor over Russian hacking a “witch hunt” when it is actually far more sinister and dangerous.

Witch hunts end. The Washington mob aims to make sure the election never ends and that Trump can never govern.

There are no modern precedents to the scandalous attempts to smear and undermine the president-elect. Nearly nine weeks after his victory and less than two weeks before he takes the oath, the voter-nullification plot is growing more vile.

It began when the Clinton campaign and her donors tried to overturn results in key states, then tried to steal the election outright by intimidating electors of the Electoral College.

When all that failed, the establishment forces that opposed Trump all along — the Obama White House, members of both parties, the Democratic media and Big Government activists — switched their goal to thwarting his presidency. One example: They aim to deny confirmation to as many as eight Cabinet picks.

This is not mere politics. This is half the country going rogue in a fit of madness.

Most alarming is the newest recruit to the confederacy. The intelligence community, including leaders of the FBI and CIA, is pushing the Russian hacking narrative in unscrupulous ways.

Consider that the same media organizations that led the campaign assault on Trump were leaked details of the hacking report before Trump saw it.

The leaks came after Trump expressed doubts about Russia’s role and any election impact. Lest the rookie miss the message, Chuck Schumer, the Dems’ man in the Senate, made like a Soprano...: “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

Trump needs to come out and talk directly to the public, explaining that the past administration was like a rebellious 16 year old teenager that thinks they know it all, needs to rebel against the authority of their parents on all decisions, and when they actually were in control they just screwed things up as they lacked the experience to make sound decisions. We are here now to work together to fix this mess.

To anyone who wants to remain a teenager and just rebel against progress, go heal your relationship with your own parents and grow up. To anyone who wants to work together and participate in a successful resolution of our country’s problems, we have open arms for you.

I think Trump is going to tell them to go to hell once he takes office. He’s going to be brutal, his way or else. He-does-not-owe these punks one single solitary thing. He knows THEY are the problem, they are the source of every problem this country faces - foreign relations, the economy, race relations, employment, illegal immigration, terrorism, it ALL originates by liberal policies and he’s going to shred them.

Trump needs to invite the SJ Warriors to a Pow-Wow at Trump White Towers where Fauxchahontas can serve her famous Pow Wow Chow.

The Dems are trying desperately to prove that they are relevant. And losing badly. And Bigly. When Trump policies end up putting black guys back to work, the Dems will never will another national election. (Assuming the Republicans can avoid screwing up this huge advantage Trump handed them.)

How badly do these RAT morons have to be beat at election time until they understand that the American people are disgusted with and loathe them and their duplicity and treason against this country?

Trump needs to come out and talk directly to the public . . .

It's going to take some direct "fireside chats" to reach people who still watch TV news or read the old newspapers. I'm not sure Twitter is a good enough vehicle for what needs doing.

I think this is what pisses off a lot of us: Politicians forgot a long time ago they are supposed to be working for us, not the other way around. They now work to keep themselves in office by using our money to buy votes...free cell phones for deadbeats? Really? I hope Trump has the will to use the veto and prevent that stupid kind of spending.

Trump is an excellent strategist. He now has the power of the bully pulpit and the resources of the Federal Government to make the necessary changes.

Trump is one of the few individuals who truly comprehends the bigger picture and is able to evaluate the tone of the people. He can move into selling emotion when the time is correct.

Those who believe they deserve the power are never graceful when it is lost.

Half the nation fully expects an attempt to be made on President Trump (be it from high to lowly) in the near future. The phrase is difficult to say aloud, but even SS operatives can no longer be trusted in keeping him safe. Remember the movie with Harrison Ford(that old liberal himself) in the movie “Air Force One”.

It absolutely amazes me how quickly the American people forgot about 911 and elected Obama, a sympathetic Muslim.

Soon there will be another big event like 911 and this time it will be used to pull the American people together. While I pray this is not true, observation of reality predicts otherwise.

The big question I have is.....
We bailed out Europe in WW I,
We bailed them out again in WW II,
Will we bail them out in the upcoming Muslim invasion?

No one hired through normal federal government channels can be trusted by Pres. Trump. Including being trusted NOT to assassinate him.

Foreign Relations? Obama, Hillary and Kerry have trashed every real friend/ally of importance we had.

Lest anyone forget, SWMNBN was endorsed by CPUSA and they take their orders from Moscow.

The dimrats have lost. They damn near succeeded in their marxist goals all they needed was...anybody but Trump.

His election is the closest thing I have ever seen to divine intervention to save our country.
