Just How Far Will the Left Go?
American Greatness ^ | 7-23-2018 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/23/2018 5:54:21 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

There was no honeymoon for the unlikely winner of the 2016 election. Progressives have in succession tried to sue to overturn Trump’s victory using several different approaches. First on the bogus claim of fraudulent voting machines. Then they sought to subvert the Electoral College by bullying electors into renouncing their respective states’ votes.

Massive protests and boycotts marked the inauguration. Then there were articles of impeachment introduced in the House. Some sued to remove Trump on a warped interpretation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. Others brought in psychiatrists to testify that Trump was ill, disabled, or insane and should be removed in accordance with the 25th Amendment. The former FBI director, CIA director, and director of the Office of National Intelligence have variously smeared the president as a coward, a traitor, and a Russian mole.

"The shell-shocked director deleted his tweet and quickly posted an apology:

“So that tweet was a disaster on many levels. I want to be clear that I in no way endorse hatred, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, or any such form of intolerance. My goal has always been to spread unity, understanding and kindness...I’m really sorry. I now understand that I have to be more diligent and careful. I’m working on that ...”

‘Reminds me of the NeverTrump idiots on our side.’

‘reminds me of people who refused to help Mitt Romney defeat Barack Obama...’

Eh. Seems to me I watched Romney throw that election. That or pure inability to argue about the Benghazi fiasco

Keep voting for George P. Bush and you will get your wish.
The Alamo will be turned into a monument of Mexican victory.

Romney refused to defeat Obama, nobody could have helped a Designated Loser win an election he was determined to lose.

The left views Orwell’s ‘1984’ as a ‘how to’ manual on setting up a police state instead of a warning as originally intended. Scary.

I wonder if she’d consider my M1 carbine an ‘assault weapon?’
After all, it doesn’t have a “thing that goes up” or a pistol grip.
But it definitely has a bayonet lug.

Mountains of skulls.

If I were a Conservative radio talk show host, I'd start getting armed security around yourself. A political assassination of a well-known Conservative icon may not be above the actions of the Left.

reminds me of people who refused to help Mitt Romney defeat Barack Obama...

Be honest, Romney gave that away. No fire in his belly. Even his family admitted that he never really wanted to win. His campaign was awful & he repeatedly ignored glaring opportunities to stick pins in Obungo.

Mitt might have been shown his “file”.

That’s my conspiracy theory for the day.

I voted for McStain AND Mittens. Did what I could to defeat Obama.... twice.

But, yes, both parties have the ‘purity test’ types. Some even here were willing to give HRC SCOTUS picks saying, “What’s the difference? Trump will pick libs anyway.” This is AFTER Trump gave his list.

We’ve gone from Left vs. Right to Nationalist vs. Globalist. Globalists are the new enemy and all the major issues to them are all about establishing open borders / one-world government.

“It is going to be bad and then much worse IMO after the 2018 elections. This is like the Palestinians vs. Israel. There is no peace possible with those who would kill and subjugate us. This will only end when there is complete defeat by one side or the other.”

I honestly believe you have nailed it here.

People need to be ready.

It’s gonna be worse after the mids when they DON’T win control of the house and senate as the think they are.


I have nothing to base it on but I suspect President Trump is going to clean house after the mid-term.

Again I have nothing to base this on but there are other law enforcement agencies that can do investigations such as the US Marshals and Secret Service agents. If President Trump could have put them on the job of finding the truth (by passing the DOJ and FBI) he may have a big pump to drain the swamp after the mid-terms.

When President Trump begins using words like Coup d’tat and treason you will know the end is near.

It will be ironic if the Democrats are destroyed at the end of all this because if they would have just accepted the results of the election none of it would have come out.

I believe the President would have been willing to just over look it all and get with improving our nation, but no, they had to go crazy.

"The Left did not just lose the 2016 election, it lost the Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. And it lost them all to a rash, uncouth Queens-accented Manhattan billionaire reality TV star, who systematically planned to dismantle eight years of Obama Administration executive-orders. And unlike almost all prior politicians Trump when in office kept his promises and systematically went about to halt the supposed progressive future."

And don't forget the THOUSAND+ seats that 0bama LOST at all levels of Government while he was in office! The MAJORITY of States have Republican Governors now and most of those State governments are Republican-led, too. This LEFTIST LOSING STREAK has been going on for the past DECADE and the Dems REFUSED to even see it or prepare for it in any way. So, too bad!
