Sarah Palin: The excuse of "having no power" is gone; Drain the swamp!

"We now have responsibility to hold accountable a new team that is needed for such a time as this." – Sarah Palin

Governor Palin posted this on Facebook, 2 PM January 11, 2017:

Thank God… really, literally… thank God we’re not facing a third Obama term. If you caught PE-Trump’s first presser today, you saw it.

THANK YOU for creating the movement that shook things up to get America on the right road.

We now have responsibility to hold accountable a new team that is needed for such a time as this. For a myriad of reasons, be grateful for the opportunity to do so.

For one, when PE-Trump takes on corrupt lying lapdog media it is vindication and validation for those without a microphone who’ve been shot by reporters engaged in politics of personal destruction.

These "journalists" – bad characters that they are – hurt our nation tremendously; they disrespect those who fought and died to protect America’s freedom of the press; they spit upon the graves of our veterans. We deem those reporters and their publications irrelevant now.

HOPE in this arena soars upon seeing a fearless leader take on injustice.

APPRECIATION fills our heart when our new President exudes our collective red, white and blue courage in the face of purveyors of yellow journalism. Press members have worked as a herd of lost little lazy sheep. The herd is now decimated.

America’s challenges can now be tackled with seriousness.

The impossible burden of dealing with unethical mediums is off our shoulder – and that’s one less excuse leaders will have as we ask them to finally do the job we send them to do in Washington.

The equally important excuse of "having no power" is gone now, too, so the independent commonsense public servants whom we hired with our votes must plow through the muck and mire and DRAIN THE SWAMP.

The GOP controls the purse strings and now also finally the pen administering the checks.

Get us out of debt.

Get off the addiction to OPM – spending Other People’s Money. We the people and our activism is the antidote.

Let leaders know we have their back, trusting they have ours.

*** And stay tuned for the next step in finally shooing away the pesky numbskulls in what was once "mainstream" media. I’m going to do my part. I’ll soon announce the most helpful, satisfying, exciting leap YOU can take with me as we help build America’s future together. ***

It’s going to be great again!

– Sarah Palin

And she set it off with trip asterisks.

“No, the Republicans need to slow down, take a breath and reach back across the isle to get bi-partisan policies enacted for the American people.”

No, now is the time for action...we are not in a normal political fight...we are in a fight for the very survival of this nation. It is win or lose, there will be no compromise.

I like how she used the “such a time as this” phrase in there. Back when she was running for Vice President (and dragging that other guy along as pres), many of us saw the Bible story of Esther in Palin. An outsider, a woman, an unlikely character put into a position of power to save a nation.

And we are all around right now for “such a time as this”. Trump won’t be able to do it on his own - Congress needs to feel the pressure from their constituents. Us! Perhaps Palin can help with that with her bus tour rallies and stuff.

It is the people that made Trump president, and the people that will support him, hold him accountable, and help him push stuff through congress.

Reminds me of G.W. Bush standing on top of that pile of rubble at the World Trade Center.

“I can hear you. And pretty soon the people that did this [now referring to obama and the liberals that have helped destroy and ‘tear down the old foundation’ of our country] will be hearing from all of us real soon!”

I would not allow the tv channels to broadcast 1 hour of tv say starting at 6am with each day going by another 1 hour added not broadcast, just a snowy channel until they tell the truth about everything and why they are lying. They understand money so I figure before the month is out they just might tell the truth. Also no tax write-offs for their major losses.

There is a little problem with that. It is called the First Amendment.

The constitution is not a suicide pact as one Supreme court justice said.

Wiki: Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. Chicago, a 1949 free speech case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Constitution_is_not_a_suicide_pact

In the 1949 case Terminiello v. City of Chicago, the majority opinion by Justice William O. Douglas overturned the disorderly conduct conviction of a priest whose rantings at a rally had incited a riot.

See his and Arthur Goldbergs comments at the link above.

I believe these few people running these handful of companies are inciting a riot. Millions have died with their support of our enemies just from Vietnam onward. Along with weak politicians who fold. Hopefully Donald Trump calling then out with result in them going back under their rocks.

Wiki from above: In July 2016, in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, upon being asked about the possible influx of Syrian refugees and a proposed blanket ban on immigration from Muslim-majority countries, answered; “Our constitution is great, but it doesn’t necessarily give us the right to commit suicide, okay?”
