Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.
Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.
Ooops.
I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.
Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.
Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.
He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.
By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.
Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.
He made a believer out of me.I won’t to try to second guess him any more [Well, maybe a little less, but no more. I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Now days, everything is racists. From the morning dew to the setting sun.
Commonly called a photostat. Same thing happened to me. I registered my DD214 with County when I got out of service, when I request copies I still get the photostat. At least I did a few years back but BC from State was all new.
Both Rectigraph and Photostat machines consisted of a large camera that photographed documents or papers and exposed an image directly onto rolls of sensitized photographic paper that were about 350 feet (110 m) long. A prism was placed in front of the lens to reverse the image. After a 10-second exposure, the paper was directed to developing and fixing baths, then either air- or machine-dried. The result was a negative print, which took about two minutes in total to produce, which could in turn be photographed to make any number of positive prints
Once everything is committed to a database, and photos and hard copies are destroyed, everything is editable and expungable.
Whatever. Moan, whine, posture, virtue signal.
I’m telling you how it will be.
Relax. This is all playing out as to form.
Haven’t you figured out Trump’s MO yet?
1) Tweet something supposedly outrageous or wrong.
2) Fake media/Dems rush to show it’s wrong.
3) Evidence quickly surfaces showing it’s right.
4) Trump holds personal appearance touting evidence that proves his original Tweet, but only after idiots have been shown to be fake news.
God bless and keep him and dear Lord, please continue to watch over him.
Amen, in Jesus's name.
That is great! And I was wondering about the other tenants as well, that is a blatant violation of law, listening in on private conversations.
I didn’t even think about connecting it to the unfathomable idea that Texas was in play
I’d pay money to see that...
If he would turn those who voted voted for him loose on the paid anarchists [they are not”protesters”, they are criminals] that problem would shortly solve itself.

<<< “Reports have now come out that President Trump is furious over Sessions’ decision to recuse himself, saying Sessions should not have done it.
Washington Post reporter Robert Costa released two Twitter posts Saturday morning, saying, “Trump left WH in a fury on Friday, fuming about Sessions’ recusal and telling aides that Sessions shouldn’t have recused himself.”
In a second tweet, he continued, “President remarked to staff that Sessions/WHDOJ should have done more to counter Sessions story, that it was ‘bull,’ per aides familiar.”
Evan McMurray of ABC News took it even further, reporting that President Trump “went ballistic” and summoned senior staff to the Oval Office before leaving for Mar-a-Lago Friday.
By Sessions recusing himself, the reins for the Russia investigation were handed over to Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente, who is an Obama appointee.” >>>
Laying traps to catch aides leaking? Or purposeful leaks to keep the shadow gov confused? Because i refuse to believe Trump would lose control like this reporter claims unless he was acting. Also, Sessions would not recuse himself w/o discussing with Trump first, especially with Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente, appointed by Obama in 2015, waiting to take over the “Russia” farce investigation.
Not so sure. Word was they were to meet Friday to discuss, but Sessions went ahead early.

I do not see President Trump standing down Attorney General Sessions from prosecuting these criminals.
Yes it is!
Yes. Hope your right.
I’m noting a period of silence from the White house right now.
The timing jives exactly with your theory.
The Left has fallen for every Brier Patch rope-a-dope he’s set for them so far, the real comms probably happen in an underwater wireless room at MAL.
Thank you, LS. Well done!
