If one can stand reading this editorial, it is a jaw dropping read. Describing President Trump as essentially a manic-depressive. First of all I cannot even imagine the stress level he is under between trying to manage the country and this 'witch hunt" happening in the background.
So they didn't get the 'bite' they were looking for with the Mueller firing meme, so now it is Rosenstein? They are really grasping at straws these days. But it is editorials like this, stating the concerns are 'loopy' and we're the ones de-legitimatizing the FBI?
Some things are better left unobserved and deserve complete disregard. Which also seems to be the trend of New Yorker Magazine.
I tend to agree with the thesis that entrenched self interest in government has unleashed witch hunts on Donald.
To them, every tweet is a wicked cackle of a liar.
Projection, man. Projection.
Trump has lined up spiritual support and he knows it’s not just him. As it is said, there are no atheists in foxholes.
I love how liberals label anything that interrupts their version of reality as being “debunked.” Ignoring something is not debunking it. This is akin to labeling the IRS scandal as “debunked” and “phony” only to find it was far from it.
I also love how the term “right wing media” is expandable beyond FOX, talk radio and the blogosphere as needed to discredit inconvenient facts. During the election the NeverTrump Wall Street Journal was a credible lion of journalism. Today, it’s “right wing.”
What truly is being “debunked” is the entire Trump-Russia collusion scam. The fact that the IG is investigating top FBI officials and that these officials have, at the very least, written e-mails that are inappropriate, at the most evidence that the FBI has become a political tool, just passes by this author.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. The only sane liberal left is Dershowitz.
two more accusations appeared. First, the Department of Justice set off a a frenzy by showing reporters snippets of texts between two FBI agents who talked about politics and often criticized Trump. (The agents’ texts also criticized Clinton and other Democrats.) Next, they accused Mueller of violating their privacy by obtaining emails Trump staffers sent on official accounts during the transition.
This is how the spin-cycle is managed. You restate the facts, shift them slightly, and minimize their importance.
Of course, 1. these folks were removed by Mueller for their actions and, 2. Trump staffers were not Trump staffers, but transition team members and their emails were private -per the statute that creates the transition team affirmed by an opinion letter of the then general counsel for GSA.
Firing Rosenstein is actually a good move. Since Sessions refuses to perform his duties, or leave his appointment gracefully, taking out the trash he chooses is the next best thing.
quote “Multiple reports have depicted the president in the grips of delusional optimism”
um..
ask yourself this..
if YOU (yes you reading this) were being investigated for collaboration with extraterrestrials from another galaxy ... would you be optimistic about the outcome?
that’s exactly how Trump feels.
No one is getting fired. Period.
Mueller and his merry band of misfits are exposed without cover.
Any of them are desperately hoping Trump will fire them, it’s there only way out of a short hearing followed by prison time.
They are all being flogged in public by FoxNews’ Hannity, Dobbs and Pirro with no sign of letting up.
Which explains why the MSM is targeting FoxNews i.e. discredit the witness. Simple stuff. Ain’t working though.
Good times. Good times.
“The President is in the grip of delusional optimism.”
To use an awful sports analogy, Trump routinely puts the goalposts 100 yards beyond the end zone, so he can score while idiots think he’s at midfield. How dumb must these editorialists be? or do they just pretend, to fool others? Somebody tell them about FDR and “nothing to fear but fear itself.” Projecting confidence and optimism is a key to success. The current Washington ethos is to sell low expectations, then underachieve; I guess someone with the courage to demand success threatens those who fear everything but failure.
Boy oh boy, the libs are getting nervous as their phony “Russia Collusion” withers on the vine and nabbing the President with a Special Prosecutor goes up in smoke. Don’t kid yourself, their nervousness comes from the fact they are very much aware of the merits behind the growing FBI/DOJ/Mueller debacle. When their Special Counsel ruse goes up in smoke all they will have left is that POTUS is unstable and ‘dangerous.’ Tell that to the public as the economy soars into the stratosphere, along with consumer confidence.
You can bait DJT except when he knows he’s being baited. By now he’s pretty savvy. Baiting him now just puts the fisherman on the menu.
More fake news from the queens of Fake news.
Just more babbling from drugged out maggot infected gays from their hot tubs posing as news.
Trump likes bold moves, but to frustrate the enemy, he shouldn’t make Rosenstein a media martyr by firing him. Instead “promote” Rosenstein to head up an initiative the left can’t argue is unimportant (ending the slaughter of blacks and others by cleaning up urban crime. BLM!). Appoint a loyal pit bull as Deputy AG, with a mandate to clean up the DoJ and FBI, prosecute the Clinton cabal wherever the law allows, prosecute leakers and unmaskers, expose the Russian conspiracy conspiracy, etc. Then roll up sleeves and go after the IRS and other corrupt bureaucracies.
The left is desperate to have President Trump self-immolate in some fashion.
Propaganda is what he does.
Might? Should have fired the entire swamp a long time ago.
What do you expect from a former New Republic Senior Editor?
Fire Rosenstein after it plays out unless more bombs drop
The left gets caught up in its dream that what they would like to be Truth is, therefore Truth and it leads them into paths riddled with delusion and fantasy. Even those among them who are not snared by the leftist perception of reality but are merely criminal, Mrs Bill for instance, get caught up in the Leftist system because it is the milieu in which they try to advance their criminality.
I didn't include Mr Bill with his Mrs because BJ is himself, as a very intelligent psychopath, a master of Games.
I love seeing them huff and puff
