Anti-Trump desperation grows

https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2018/09/anti-trump-desperation-grows.html

FTA:
President Trump delivers, on time and under budget.

The media cannot stand it because he keeps proving them wrong. For example, they said — and hoped — that tariffs would trigger a global recession.

Maybe in China and Europe.

But last month U.S. Steel announced it will invest $750 million in its iconic Gary Works in Gary, Indiana, a town that U.S. Steel created just for its plant. That investment means it is here to stay for another generation.

And the media tried to undercut Trump’s triumph.

...

I agree with Conrad Black, who wrote, “Trump has not got to this historic point by being the blustering and crooked buffoon portrayed by his enemies. He is a cunning and pitiless enemy. This is political mortal combat, and in evidentiary as in electoral matters, you can’t fight something with nothing.”

And nothing is all they have.

President Trump has something. Plenty of something.

His critics are desperate. They trotted out Obama who decided to take credit for President Trump bringing back those jobs that Obama said aren’t coming back.

The Circus of Resistance
By Victor Davis Hanson

https://amgreatness.com/2018/09/09/the-circus-of-resistance/

FTA:

The resistance to Donald Trump was warring on all fronts last week.

Democratic senators vied with pop-up protestors in the U.S. Senate gallery to disrupt and, if possible, to derail the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. U.S. SenatorCory Booker (D-N.J.) played Spartacus, but could not even get the script right as he claimed to be bravely releasing classified information that was already declassified. I cannot remember another example of a senator who wanted to break the law but could not figure out how to do it.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Harvard Law Professor who still insists she is of Native American heritage, called for the president to be removed by invoking the 25th Amendment. Apparently fabricating an ethnic identity is sane, and getting out of the Iran deal or the Paris Climate Accord is insanity and grounds for removal.

Barack Obama decided that ex-presidents should attack current presidents, and thereby reminded the country why Trump was elected. The author of the Russian “reset”and the hot-mic collusionary offer criticized Trump for being soft on Putin. The president who never achieved annualized 3 percent GDP growth (and is the first president since 1933 who can claim this “distinction”) also claimed Trump’s roaring economy was due to Obama-era policies (e.g., raising taxes, Obamacare, more regulations, and “you didn’t build that” commentaries). Fresh from trashing his successor in a funeral speech, the ever audacious Obama called for more decorum.

...

More Beltway Fantasies
The op-ed is the latest cartoon of Trump, the Road Runner, finally, at last, and for sure driven off the cliff by the Resistance as Wile E. Coyote—infuriated by yet another Road Runner beep-beep. There were earlier and serial Looney Tunes efforts to nullify the Electoral College, to sue about election machines, to boycott the Inauguration, to introduce articles of impeachment, to invoke the 25th Amendment, to try out the Emoluments Clause and the Logan Act, to sue by cherry picking liberal federal judges, to harass officials in public places and restaurants, to warp the FISA courts, to fund a foreign spy to do opposition research, and to weaponize even further the FBI, NSA, and Justice Department—along with the now-boring celebrity assassination chic rhetoric of blowing up, stabbing, shooting, burning, hanging, smashing, and decapitating Donald J. Trump.

After the latest hysteria dies down, this chapter in the ongoing psychodrama will be revealed for what it is: a fantasy of a wannabe coup that is not going to happen. The commentariat’s silly claim that the op-ed was “extraordinary” and “newsworthy” is laughable. There are hundreds of “senior officials” all throughout every presidency, no doubt more so in the outsider Trump’s, who are disgruntled. On any given day, any newspaper could root out a “senior official” to write anonymously anything it wished to fit a preconceived narrative. What is extraordinary is not an op-ed from some sort of a mad David Stockman taken to the woodshed or defrocked Don Regan losing a war with Nancy Reagan, but that the New York Times hunted down someone of #theResistance to create a hysteria that an unhinged Trump must be removed.

...

AND IT JUST GETS BETTER!

Sasse reveals his Communist desires.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/09/trump-critic-sen-sasse-says-hes-considering-leaving-republican-party-calls-wh-reality-show.html

In some (very small ways) Sasse is right. Patriots don’t need a choice of WHICH party is qualified to govern. Sasse then points to a “vision of America” (implied: USA) as a “10=years down the line situation”. Huh? That’s communism.

Patriots don’t want a party that will impress their governing will upon the voters; we don’t want a PARTY that tells us ^^this^^ is the American dream for you. We want to find it for ourselves.

Patriots want a party that reflects their vision of personal responsibility; personal expectations. The Patriot vision of governing is OUR vision of governing. Parties must “toe” that line or be relegated to the dust-bin of history” [Germany]

We need NOT acquiesce to the PC vision of governing since, that governing is what we ask them to be. Patriots want a “party” that will stress the desire of a NON-INTERVENING government (leave me alone to prosper or die!).

WE (FReeQs) don’t want a PARTY that has a “(five or) Ten Year plan” (AKA, CCCP). We want a party that plans for the will of the people. That asks for common governing.

“PLANNING” is communism...where-in the government directs the society. This is so “LIBERTY 101”. Sasse reveals his communist desires.

Get woke...hate Hegel.
