No time lately, but this unrolled thread is great. I have a suspcion that the twitter person is a reincarnation of Thomas Wictor.

Thread @DNC I figured out why you hate @realDonaldTrump so much.

He’s not playing the game of covering up the jaw-dropping madness of your politicians.

The White House
@WhiteHouse
JUST IN: Democrats want to impeach the President for [checks notes] being too tall.

How could anyone hallucinate that these are two differently sized chairs?

Also, I’m tired of people sharing their sexual fantasies.

His daughter is tied up in the basement with duct tape?

I’m sure this is how Democrats talk to each other, but the general public doesn’t have to know what’s on Hank’s twisted mind.

The Democrats live in Opposite World.

I just read some blubbering from the British publication the Guardian about how Boris Johnson’s electoral victory is a threat to democracy.

How is VOTING a threat to democracy?

Americans VOTED FOR Trump, but the Democrats decided that the definition of democracy is unelected bureaucrats nullifying our vote.

Well, the Brits just told leftists to cram it.

And the UK is a leftist country.
mentions The US is center-right.

Guess what the 2020 election is going to be for the Democrats?

You’ve EARNED your political demise.

Today leftists are blaming the attack in Jersey City on...Trump.

On “white nationalism.”

Sane people have had enough.

Leftist politicians are inept and delusional, leftist pundits are loudspeakers for homicidal hate, and leftist men and women on the street are lynch mobs.

Therefore the Democratic party must be junked.

This has gone on long enough.

The thing is, YOU WON’T CHANGE.

British leftists are doing no reflection whatsoever. They refuse to accept that the voters have a say in what happens to them.

When Obama won, I said, “Rats” and got on with my life.

I didn’t lose my mind.

It’s funny that leftists say that Obama had the most scandal-free administration in history.

In reality, it’s impossible to even gauge the corruption of the Obama administration.

A Secretary of State who got around federal open-record laws.
Operation Fast and Furious.
The IRS abusing private citizens.
Benghazi.
The hacking of the Office of Personnel Management.

The “stimulus” money going to government workers.
The GM bailout that flouted bankruptcy law.
The completely illegal Dream Act.
The EPA imposing totally illegal regulations on businesses.
The FISA abuse.
The Department of Justice refusing to prosecute black criminals.

The total failure of Cash for Clunkers.

The Treasury Department bypassed Congress to impose new rules on setting up companies in low-tax nations.
Steered federal funds to ACORN.
EPA unilaterally ruled that carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
State Department allowed the illegal export of military technology to China.

Nullified court decisions against the Black Panthers.
Treasury Department cut off pensions to non-unionized workers.
Health and Human Services illegally waived welfare reform work requirements.

Enough.
mentions That takes us only to 2012.

President Trump said that someday he’ll tell us what Obama did to the armed forces.

I already know, but most people don’t.

You won’t believe it.
And yet I never lost my mind.

Trump is actually HELPING us, for which Democrats hate him.

Democrats prefer corruption and failure. That’s fine.

The rest of us oppose it. Get ready for 2020.

There is one kind of debate I’d like to see.

In 1980, PBS held genuine debates between the advisors of the Carter, Reagan and Anderson campaigns. The candidates themselves did not appear. These events were not joint press conferences, which the current “debates” truly are, but actual debates with cross-questioning, rebuttal and counter-rebuttal. Had the candidates appeared, it would have degenerated into canned sound bites. Each debate was on a particular topic, and each team had a captain and supporting teammates. The captain would decide who would go in for a particular function.

One of my cherished memories was the foreign policy debate where Al Haig was captain for the Reagan squad. He sent Paul Nitze in to wipe the floor with Carter’s Soviet expert Paul Warnke. It was wonderful to behold.

Another memory. In the economic issues debate, Arthur Laffer, the captain, went in himself to eviscerate Mitch Rogovin, John Anderson’s economic policy advisor. All poor Mitch could say was, “Liberalism has never been tried. It was mugged.”

This experiment had never been repeated because the two parties feared the uncontrolled and spontaneous nature of the debates, which was something the spin-meisters couldn’t control. It’s a shame. I learned more in those debates than I did the actual joint appearances of the candidates.
