Has there ever been this level of resistance/interference by a prior administration to the incoming in U.S. history? Haven't we always prided ourselves on our smooth and peaceful transitions of power from one elected administration/party to the next?
If we didn't know better and understand that this cannot happen in America, the level of organized and criminal interference and obstruction against the duly elected President Trump being put up by former President Obama himself and his new socialist organization, the entire democrat party, the GOP establishment, the entrenched holdovers throughout government, the liberal activist judges and the liberal media might start looking like an attempted coup is in process.
Nope.
But I think this would have happened to ANY Republican who beat Hillary Clinton.....because Obama (and his ilk) will never give up on their obsession to transform America, while destroying anyone who stands in their way.
That being said, I think Trump has actually unhinged them further, (making them sloppy in their efforts), because he fights back and refuses to take it lying down, like all good little Republicans have in the past.
It's going to be hard for them to continue to work covertly, if President Trump continues to shine the light on them, for all Americans to see.
What we are seeing is what happens when somebody opposed by the Establishment gets into office. They were expecting Hillary to get in and bail out all the Insiders when the next financial storm hits. By the level of panic, they expect it soon, and expect that Trump WILL NOT bail them out, as opposed to what happened in 2008.
Of course we have not seen this level of resistance to an incoming administration in our life times. Then again, this is the first true change of executive power in 28 years.
Comey needs to not only be relieved of command , but arrested and charged and imprisoned .
Along with Brennan and Clapper .
Trump needs to break the mold , which allows these Washington DC insider pukes just walk away from whatever they’ve done .
The swamp will never drain that way . Heads must role , complete ruin and incarceration needs to result .
Then and ONLY THEN will those that serve (work) in DC begin to stop this crap . The costs have to be too great .
Only Trump can pull this off . He needs to be issuing search & destroy orders right away ( if not already )
How so?
How so?
Bingo, Jim! You hit the nail on the head.
Make no mistake: this is what the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) are up to, and it's also the hope of many GOPe and NeverTrump propagandists—many of whom are active in conservative social media, doing whatever subtle damage they can.
So where is Sessions et al re: Sanctuary City defiance, Soros\BLM riot prosecution, DACA termination...does everything have to hinge on Gorsuch? Why is Trump bound to District Court say-so on anything?
Personally, I believe that the media’s role in all of this is much more orchestrated and committed than we have acknowledged. And I believe that the media’s role in all of this is extremely dangerous to “our side”, as they will continue to influence the distribution of info to such a degree, as to both disrupt the ability of Trump admin to make progress and to encourage the continuance of subversive attitudes and actions by liberals. JMHO
Absolutely agree.
It is not a small thing that the Russia BS has now expanded to conservative media. The push to investigate conservatives sites, and apply filters to social media is alarming.
No, not in my almost 77 years. But the RATs know, that unlike any one of the other sixteen “GOP Candidates,” Trump IS the only real threat to their continued existence. Plus, the way the SCOTUS seats are looking, Trump can effectuate a twenty to thirty year hiatus in the RATs using the Supreme Court as their “private legislature!” Get Gorsuch on the Court, then hope that Ruth Buzzy looses interest along with Anthony Kennedy. Beyond that, there are “dirt naps” pending for at least these two if you look at the numbers.
President Andrew Jackson is the only similar case I can think of.
No. I am old and this is beyond anything I ever thought I would see in this country. I believe they (all those you mentioned) thought they had a dictatorship all wrapped up, but enough people were made afraid by what they were witnessing in government, the courts, academia, the entertainment culture and the media to decide that enough is enough and they saw Trump as, maybe, the only person who could get back our freedom and our country. I am reading an old book, “A Generation of Vipers,” written in 1942, by Philip Wylie, and within it’s pages are insights about how we might have arrived at this place. One thing is sure in my mind..Those left over from the Obama era, in our government and media are truly vipers and I also believe they have some very big and awful things to hide from the America people, things that Trump might uncover if he is allowed to govern as our other President’s have. I pray that the true God will make a move on these ogres and send them some supernatural lessons about the wages of evil. I have wondered if all of them are on stimulating substances for it is so unreal that normal, intelligent people would do the things they are doing and expect this nation and it’s people to put up with it for very long. We are already at war. The only question is how much further this will go and how many people are going to be hurt or worse before it is over or before some other country takes this one over. I know one thing, those who are causing America this grief and vulnerability right now will not be the ones who will end up with the power. And, I know something else. Nothing and I mean, NOTHING evil, had better happen in the life of this President. There are untold millions out here who would shake this planet, should anything like that happen to him or anyone close to him.
The only difference seen between this nation (AMERICA) and other banana republics - is the fact we can at least serve the bananas with ice cream and call it Banana Split. We’ve the nuts to top it off.
No, never.
As this occurred during the election cycle (FISA requests etc.) does this not raise the question as to whether one or more of the other Republican candidates were also under surveillance?
Other questions:
Is this why Maxine Watters, et al., are so confident they will have information that will be the basis of impeachment of President Trump, because they have copies of the “unmasked” information?
Did John McCain - who gave the so termed “Russian dossier” to the FBI, also have copies of this information?
Is this the information that prompted the “surprise” visit to Capitol Hill by Director Comey when he recently met with Schumer and others? Even Schumer has not run to the cameras about that meeting.
When President Donald J. Trump took the oath of office he promised to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. Seemingly President Trump is the only person in recent memory who has made that declaration, that promise to us that I believe was honest in his promise to uphold that sacred oath.
There are so many for whom it was a formality to obtain power and wealth.
Jim Robinson asks: “Has there ever been this level of resistance/interference by a prior administration to the incoming in U.S. history?”
Yes. 1861.
Having threatened to do so if Republican Abraham Lincoln won the Presidential election, Democrats of the southern states took up the sword of treason to preserve their political and economic power.
That power of long standing was based solely on an utterly corrupt, morally depraved way of life to which they insisted they were entitled: The enslavement, control, and exploitation—socially, economically, and sexually—of African Americans.
That was then. This is NOW: 2016
Having threatened to do so if Republican Donald Trump won the Presidential election, Democrats are sharpening their sword of treason once again to preserve their political and economic power.
That power of long standing is based solely on an utterly corrupt, morally depraved way of life to which they continue to insist they are entitled: The de-facto enslavement, control, and exploitation—socially, economically, and sexually—of African Americans, as well as illegal immigrants and unassimilated others who comprise American society’s more or less “permanent” underclass.
No. On January 18 (before the inevitable inauguration) one of the Marxist matriarchs piped a pig whistle...

hence, events followed.
Well said and true...they wouldn't be fighting in this unprecedented way unless they were protecting some very serious shtf secrets...they are terrified of something or things being revealed...
No contemporaneity politician/historian of any renown ever called the South treasonous. As a matter of fact President Jefferson Davis requested a trial post war and was denied one because the AG thought he would lose the case because secession is not unconstitutional. So tone down the idiotic blather buck wheat. Tell the day nurse to up your dosage.....
Time to inform the leftist traitors that we know their names and addresses and stand by.
James Buchanan set a Civil War up foe Abraham Lincoln.
