Just How Far Will the Left Go? (Excellent)

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 Mueller Investigation
We are about 430 days into Robert Mueller’s investigation; the special prosecutor whose team of lawyers and investigators has in a large part been made up either of Clinton donors, clear Clinton partisans, lawyers who have in the past represented Clinton interests or employees, or partisans already removed for expressing clear Trump hatred. The media grew ecstatic over its creation, dubbing it an “all-star” or “dream” team, as leaks assured the public that next week, next month, or “soon” there would be a sensational indictment proving that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the presidency.

We have gone through the psychodramas surrounding Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Carter Page and a host of others. Any second, any minute they would be indicted for collusion in throwing an election, or they would soon flip and end the Trump presidency.

Brilliantly written summary of the current craziness. Much more at the link.

Please delete this post. I got my wires crossed and posted again instead of pinging it out.

Actually, the FR search results show this was posted yesterday, but the thread itself says it was posted today.

In any event, 28 comments on it.

Good article.

"Think of “Caddyshack,” when uncouth Rodney Dangerfield burst into smug Ted Knight’s country club."

This is just Pure Gold.

I love VDH’s writing and this one was terrific, as usual. I did see that there are two instances of this article posted yesterday.

If anyone is interested in yesterday’s comments on this article, here are the links.

How far will they go? They already tear babies limb from limb in the womb so the only question is what other ways can they be more inhumane. They can toy with us over our lifetime and torture our minds, bodies, and wallets as well, just watch out for their imagination.

The lefts ultimate goal is to have the power to murder anyone who will not bow to their every command. This is not hyperbole, it is a fact. The American left is as evil as it gets.

How far will the Left go? I fear that we have seen nothing yet.

Let me say that simply witnessing the almost unanimous hate filled vitriolic misleading corrupt partisan chorus in the media 24/7, it is crystal clear that the Left has gone totally off the deep end and as such will not stop at anything - their actions speak volumes. Who would have ever thought that the media would actually have become part and parcel of the Leftist activist propaganda campaign blatantly misrepresenting facts and material omitting pertinent facts all to destroy a President - This "media" was once at least partially made up of credible journalists but no longer, yep, they are over the top and have lost any sense of balance or truth - now that's obvious.

For later study- VDH is one of our era’s greatest writers.

In other words, the Democrats know what sort of agenda might bring them back into power as it did in 1992.

They don't have a Perot around

Clinton got 43% in 92 and then blew the entire congress to the GOP in 94

[Texas resident]

The left will go only as far as they are allowed to go. They are not in power now. The dangerous part would be when they do get in power.

[1Old Pro]

The dangerous part would be when they do get in power.

Yep, they would probably force the IRS, FBI, CIA, DOJ et al to punish people politically.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Think of traitorous reporter Dan Krenshaw from the Dragon's Fury series, only instead of being in collusion with the Red Chinese, these gits are in collusion with the American Left(oids) and the Democrat Party.

"...the unlikely winner of the 2016 election."

Wow. Even VDH swallowed that ridiculous trope.

Trump was always going to win, and anyone with open eyes and a clear head could see it.

[rlmorel]

Yes! Brilliantly written as is normal for VDH...thank you for posting it...:)

I loved this passage:

"...Given the growing furor over half the country as demonized clingers, deplorables, and crazies, if Trump did not exist, a don’t-tread-on-me street fighter would have had to be invented. Progressives have gone ballistic that any opponent would reply to them in kind. Think of “Caddyshack,” when uncouth Rodney Dangerfield burst into smug Ted Knight’s country club..."
