Where Have All The Pearl Clutchers Gone?

It’s the middle of the summer. The Hamptons and the Vineyard are calling. They need their rest time.

I thought DJT had it right in Helsinki and I think he’s BS’ing now just to call off the dogs, but I’m ok with it.

I mostly agree, but I think it was a mistake to walk it back. He had it right in the first place.

When the day comes that he does trust our intelligence insurgents, that’s the day our nation is lost.

That day is here. With the full backing of congress, the intel agencies have been hellbent on bringing Trump down.

[eyedigress]

The President knows their game. He rolls out new tax cuts and a new spending bill, cycle change.

Barry bitches about men.

What happened is that Lisa Paige testified about China hacking the DNC servers, not Russia and that the FBI knew it all along. The lefties are trying to work out an answer to this news, this could hurt them a little. Giving out Purple Hearts to traitors has got to look bad when (if) the news covers it.

[VanDeKoik]

News cycles roll in. News cycles roll out.

That is why I was basically “whatever” the whole time.

In a week no one will even remember this. Hell, I dont even remember what we were on a week ago.

[bagster]

it seems like no one on the left or the media is talking about it. What happened?

a.) Maybe they finally figured out what Putin meant when he talked about the 1999 reciprocal law enforcement treaty and said Mueller could investigate his Russians if Russia could investigate Clinton Associates and U.S. Intelligence (Clapper/Brennan/Mueller?) officers who helped Browder steal over a billion dollars from Russia and kick down 400 mil to Hillary for Uranium.

b.) Maybe they thought about why The Donald brought up the servers and Hillary's emails.

c.) Maybe they read a certain person's posts on 8chan that say, "We have the server."

Yea. Probably best they just stfu.

Strozk was last week

True, Ben ... but Russia can be a powerful ally.

We must understand with all of this that our Republic -- our Constitution -- face a far-greater threat from Democrats and Leftists (pardon the redundancy) than anything Russia can do (short of a military invasion which would, instead, destroy Russia ... ain't gonna happen). But the Democrat/Left threat is real, it's powerful and, in the increasingly rare occasion when they're not acting like crazed barbarians, it's quite effective.

[Nifster]

Oh noes 😱😱😱 Short attention span

[COUNTrecount]

And somewhere Stormy Daniels is adjusting her g-strap for YET another round of bs...................................

[vladimir998]

“Have you fallen on your head? Geesh...it’s ALL they are talking about!!”

Seriously! Non-stop, 24 hours a day. It’s insane,

[al baby]

God forbid but its about time for another mass shooting

[JonPreston]

but I think it was a mistake to walk it back

I'm with you. I heard someone on the radio say it was Pence & Pompeo who forced his hand in walking it back.

[myerson]

Newt must think that, being that close to the Pope now, his pronouncements are infallible, when really they are all Papal Bull.

[plain talk]

And consider. The average American has no clue that Trump and Putin met in Helsinki. Nor any clue what was said.

So true but the Left takes all that into account. They don't need the average Joe to know the details. They just want them to know Trump "misspoke" and screwed up somehow. The MSM will continue to manufacture this noise to form inaccurate perceptions in the minds of occasional viewers.

The media operates in 24hr outrage cycles

It's cathartic.

Carl Bernstein appears on shows and says this is the worst thing that ever happened and Trump will be impeached and then he's exhausted. He's said all he has to say and nothing has changed. A day or two later, something else happens and Bernstein goes on the shows and says the same thing and the result is the same.

"Outrage fatigue" is a phrase that gets thrown around. When outrage and saying something that everything that happens is the "worst ever" become routine and expected they lose their power to move people (if they ever had that power to begin with).

[Runner4life]

Lou is about the only Fox host I can stomach.

[Responsibility2nd]

Mass shooting maybe. But at least America does not have a president any longer who will profit off of chaos and societal disorder.

We don’t have a president who will manufacture and create crises like Trayvon, Ferguson, Baltimore et al.

Thank God.

[LS]

This is why Trump didn’t give Newt a job in the administration.

[MUDDOG]

Great point!
