DC needs to be shut down. It is unaccountable to the voters. DC has become an enemy of the citizenry.

You do realize Trump's twitter followers make your "Anecdotal evidence" look pretty stupid? Or do you?

I made a number of points, none of which you can argue with anything but immature non-responses.

These are the facts. This is today’s reality and that’s my point you can’t rebut.
Not a single point.

That’s what makes discussion here and elsewhere so useless. People just spiel their feelings and can’t deal with any facts, even when it’s going the right direction.

General Flynn’s case is getting very rare and focused review on the prosecution.

Roger Stone’s case conviction is being challenged with a new trial application.

US Attorney John Durham’s investigation into SpyGate continues expanding and has hit the Pentagon, NSA, DOJ, FBI, CIA and into Italy and the UK. It’s not going away; the investigation has gone international.

But all you can respond to the facts at hand is with more whining. That is sad.

That person’s continued argument by insult is a liberal tactic.

It shows s/he has got nothing.

And you think it’s on DJT if he hasn’t cleaned house in 3 years?

Get a clue.


He never had a chance. Near the moment Trump got into the White House his own party threatened him not to fire Sessions, authored Mueller Protection Act, turned a blind eye when Mueller hired 16 angry Democrats including Hillary and Obama lawyers to investigate him, etc., etc.

The 100,000 people working at DOJ saw all that. They knew immediately they had full top cover from the GOP controlled Congress to obstruct President Trump. Near everything since then at DOJ has spiraled down by that. Now POTUS gets to the heart of the matter with a few tweets and the swampers go bananas. That should be very instructive to every Trump voter.

Yeah, he’s investigating everyone in the galaxy now.

Fitton says Durham is doing nothing, just like those before him.

Mr. Logical me, America will never recover. Just as the World, including The United States of America has never recovered from Jimmy Carter yanking the rug from the Shah of Iran and allowing and assisting the muslim Fundamentalists to take over. Every drop of blood shed in the politician's never ending war[s] over there can be, if one desires, traced to that. But, the only ones that give a damn about that are those whom have lost loved ones over there. The unwashed masses are more concerned with Monday Night Football and their favorite soap operas. In spite of what President Trump says, eventually we will have Socialism here. Why? Because the youth demand and will continue to demand it. Each year every college, university, and high school graduates a class that has been indoctrinated to the joys of Socialism. Each new class more thoroughly than the previous class. Meanwhile, those who know how Socialism works have either died or have been silenced.

No, not obviously an Obama appointee. For the umpteenth time, someone needs to tell Donald to STFU. He is the nation's chief law enforcement officer, not a jousting partner for Rachel Maddow. Quite a few people should go to prison for their roles in the attempted coup. One of the biggest risks to a successful prosecution is a president with the impulse control of a 13 year old girl who can't stay off Twitter and doesn't understand that he can compromise a serious case. DJT appears to be more interested in having Twitter followers than in allowing investigators to build a case.

Except that investigators NEVER seem to WANT to build a case. Donald Trump keeping the corruption front and center via twitter is the only thing that keeps pressure on the swamp to do ANYTHING.

It’s quite obvious many of Trump’s supporters have no stomach for this battle. Sad, really. They’d rather live in Uniparty chains than support POTUS in his historic battle. Frankly, sometimes I think we don’t deserve him. If he didn't want to run for a second term I would fully understand.

So true but I don't think he's got any "quit" in him. Thankfully.

I heard he owes a whopping $10.40 in overdue book fines at his public library.

Barr is rushing over to pay the fines in untraceable cash from his own fashionable designer suit pants pocket.

Exactly. If Trump doesn’t do it nobody will. If the swamp is going bananas it confirms he is doing the correct thing. This is not the time for Trump supporters to go weak at the knees.

Good points.

I didn’t know Roger Stone’s wife is deaf.

How horrible to have the SS guards—I mean American intelligence community officer——break into her home in the pitch dark and throw papers and clothes drawers onto the floor and brandish firearms at her and her husband. How disgustingly cruel our Deep State has shown itself to be.

If that is America....

“Barr is worthless and Durhams “investigation” is just a smokescreen.”

Huber redux.

I gave you “facts”. Got nothing back.

I’ll try again:

Trump: impeached by Democrats in 2 months
Criminal Democrats: unprosecuted for over 3 years.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Provably, there is no will inside the beltway to prosecute criminal Democrats to the benefit of Donald J. Trump.

Facts, just some facts not the “galaxy.”

Tom Fitton does great work at Judicial Watch. He doesn’t work at DOJ last I knew.
As good as Tom does at Judicial Watch, a little hype isn’t beyond him.

I’m doubtful Tom Fitton would claim to know everything going on in the DOJ and would be in the position to know what US Attorney John Durham is doing here and abroad.

I’m pretty confident Tom Fitton wasn’t traveling with Durham to Europe.

Also, Papadopolous’s wife miscarried after a day long interrogation sans legal cousnel by Mueller’s banana republic thugs.

There is a lot of ugliness simmering just under the surface here. That’s why the swamp went so bananas when POTUS got to the heart of the matter with a few tweets. To the swamp our lives are just political footballs to be used to politically defeat and ruin Trump. This is a bipartisan attitude, obviously. But real people have been assaulted here and they couldn’t care less.

AG Barr is on the job a single year. One year.
US Attorney John Durham is on the case reviewing the Russia Collusion Hoax even less than a year.

Your comparison is a poor one. You do appear to enjoy being eternally angry unless everything is done what you want in 24 hours.

The real world doesn’t work like that and complex prosecutions never do.
If some want to ignore the positive developments as I noted like in General Flynn’s case, that’s fine with me.

I won’t be joining those who prefer whining.

Yes and imagine if something had gone wrong and she would have got shot with the break in.

No one raided McCabe’s house after lying 4 times to FBI, leaking to press.

The raid was to humiliate Trump and his people. It was for optics especially since CNN knew before hand it was going to occur.

Just a minute. You mean McCabe the injured party and innocent public servant who just slithered out of a justice trap and is scot free to boast now? And the raid details were leaked to the honorable bias free media at CNN?

Who are you an honest pro-Constitution American patriot? Thought so.

Right. And if someone as ballsy as Donald Trump can be thwarted, how much easier is it to bulldoze his cabinet appointees and GOP lawmakers, even those with good intentions?

I don’t think it helps anything to blame Trump, OR to paint GOP lawmakers, or his cabinet appointees, with broad brush accusations of being deep state, or compromised. Some are, no doubt, but the source of the problem is elsewhere.

Probably the most important impact President Trump can have in his eight years is not draining the swamp, but creating a rift in the MSM monopoly and discrediting the PC narratives that protect the deep state from the public eye.

He IS creating a rift - whether it will be enough to topple their house of lies - who knows, but their ability to run a propaganda ministry under the guise of a free press is where their real strength lies - the deep state bureaucracy itself is inherently weak, fraught with fallacies, inconsistencies and irrationalities. If enough sunlight could be shined on the deep state to see it for what it really is, it would collapse under its own weight, and by its poor design.

If President Trump can be protected for another five years I think this is where he could leave a mark - his own “tear down that wall” moment, but this time not a physical wall, but a wall of disinformation. That is all We the People really need to fix this - the truth about what has been festering for so long, right under our noses.
