Arkancides continues unabated....
Mike Jr is throwing exaggerations everywhere. Now she was Putin’s main source of information. He just claimed she was connected directly to the Kremlin.
Now he is setting up a crime that this information is a thing of value. He is a complete slimeball.
Jay is good on FNS, he told Chris to shut up.
Reasons being are many:
Keeps other news off the front page, obamcare,Sessions going after pedophiles, DNC kill teams,other jeopardy the left has by big names like Podesta, Clintons, Washerwoman, so many others.Also designed to upset 2018 elections,and the big one impeachement of Trump.
Wow, now Wallace is putting on his lawyer hat and explaining attorney client privilege. He is completely out of his league.

More Russians! Comey releases classified information.
So President Trump goes to Europe and he is quite welcomed and applauded.
The liberals don’t like this.
So they been holding on to this meeting with Trump Jr. and some Russian lawyer which, as they all do, turned out to be a nothing-burger.
They really hate when Trump is received well, even inventing a snubbed handshake that didn’t happen.
Liberals need to find love, somewhere.
Man, the head of the FBI is knee-deep in all kind of shenanigans and let’s not forget our CIA agencies, all seven hundred and fifty thousand of them, are all corrupt liars.
Wednesday Date-7/12/17
Olympics in L.A.? Trump Jr. colluding with Russians? New nominee for FBI Director.
The story of President Trump’s vow to try and bring the Olympics to LA kind of flew under the radar. I do not think that will happen nor do I think it should.
I remember when President Obama was newly elected and he said he would bring that year’s Olympics to Chicago.
Chicago! Heh. All Olympians had to supply their own gun.
Well Obama didn’t get his way or will Trump.
Pick a nice city guys for the Olympics.
Like Baltimore!
Only it , as it always does, turned out to be a big nothing, nothing.
Americans are getting so sick of this.
His confirmation hearings are coming up. We will be watching and we will report.
Thursday Date-7/13/17
Will the Democrats hold up his nomination and will Wray get along with Mueller?
Well President Trump had a great tour of Europe and the left has been holding on to this meeting for just such an occasion.
For the goal is not to capture Trump in some kind of wrong with the Russians. The goal is to keep his name out there in a negative light, mention impeachment via the lousy Democratic legislators with noses up Hillary’s butt.
Yet it keeps on folks, you know why? Because the Republicans lite won’t take a stand.
I say throw Susan Collins and her find operatic voice out first. John McCain and his magnificent airplane flying ability, next.
Keep on going from there.
Friday Date-7/14/17
No new health care version….they’re not going to do it. Trump visits France and big contest for Sussex GOP
I think it’s a good idea and hope they publicize it more. All five Delaware regions are included:
Colonial, Northern, Western, Kent and Sussex.
All kind of prizes including a grand prize trip to Jamaica, are offered.
The email says to contact your region chair (I have no idea who my regional chair is, nice they should tell you). Find somebody involved in Delaware politics and they can probably direct.
The very fine, very honest John McCain was part of this whole effort against President Trump.
They should put him in an airplane and let him fly over North Korea. McCain will crash land somewhere….it’s what he does.
Turd.
They control us. They are our masters. Look at John McCain, one of the biggest nothing burgers in congress, and they adore the guy.
Remember that Campaign Finance Reform act McCain crafted? Man, I sleep better every night knowing ole John did that for me.
America has Campaign Finance Reform…..HOORAY!
Saturday Date-7/15/17
President Trump’s faux pas with wife of French Prez? An ode to liberals.
However, heh, President Trump told the wife of French President Macron that she was “in great shape”.
Heh.
That is not something an American President should say about the wife of another President.
But Donald Trump loves the ladies, yes he does, and somebody tell me what’s wrong with that?
Would a female American President admire the muscles of the husband of a male President and declare him in great shape?
I don’t think I would but hey, I would notice.
Am I criticizing Trump? Not really. Trump is Trump is Trump and liking the opposite sex is no longer in vogue. Maybe he’ll bring it back.
Below a pic from a friend of mine, sweet lady and yes she’s a liberal. She has had no success in life whatsoever.
None.
Heh.
Had a flap with a Carolina Thrasher. How I love those birds, building nests in my bushes for the past five years.
Anyway, I showed the Guatalamalans the nest and was fine….
…..at first.
I don’t know how the link below will work in Facebook, but below a link to a video showing Mrs. Thrasher attacking me for bothering her babies. Turn on your sound, hear my screams.
https://www.facebook.com/patricia.fish.5/videos/10214254258898796/
I now give Mrs. Thrasher a wide berth and my humble human apology for bothering her babies.
Exactly, it’s endless with these commie clowns. Anyone gets in the way they get Arkancided.
Sekulow is good. He turns it right around and points out actual DNC information exchange with Ukraine (an actual burger vs nothingburger). I think he could be a little stronger on some issues the way Hannity is, but I suppose he is just being a careful lawyer. The key is to get the story out about the double standards.
Pretty much says it all.....

Trump favors Christian refugees over Muslims, says State data http://washex.am/2uvm656
Schiff is accusing Trump of lying about knowing about the meeting; and that the campaign was both publicly or privately encouraging the Russians to meddle in the election. Asked if there any evidence, Schiff says the emails are clear and unambiguous evidence of intent. Schiff says the DJT, Jr. meeting was criminal.
Asked to respond to DNC and Ukraine article in Politico. Schiff says the scale of what Trump instructed the Russians to do, hack emails and then coordinate the timing of release.
Heh - Michael Caputo brought up to Schiff. Caputo will be on the ABC round table.
ABC giving Schiff softball questions, likely given to Schiff in advance. Schiff gets two to three times the duration to spin up a narrative.
They think they are hurting Trump and scaring the Repubs, but this is only proving what and who the swamp is. Wallace was especially slimy today and claiming Trump is actually paying Sekalow or some nefarious entity is. Someone needs to start a Conservative network.
Hannity gets four hours a day to go after these clowns on air. Jay probably a lot less. But, he still does a great job.
yeah - and your loss will give you emotional ups and downs in surprising ways. I figured "Clarince" was a typo, but wasn't sure.
Great stuff Fish,lots to go with there.
I have been reading Phillip Kerr’s novels and his Bernie Gunther series. This was recommended by Daniel Silva who writes the Gabriel Allon series.
Bernie is an ethical policeman in Nazi Germany, who watches as his country gets destroyed by hate. He recounts all the propaganda of the Nazi machine and how they manage to set one group of people against another. He tries to do his job in an increasingly violent atmosphere. He is haunted by what he sees going on and feels powerless to stop it.
I can’t help equating what is going on in this country to that time in Germany, when a society destroyed itself and then went on to destroy other countries and their citizens.
I am appalled by all the hateful rhetoric/ incitement of violence being spewed by the left and those on the right who hate President Trump and those who voted for him.
I did not think I would see this in my lifetime-but just turn on CNN/watch the antifa gangs roaming the streets etc and there it is.
Sorry-a bit off topic, but am feeling quite anxious for our country, this President and his family. I probably need to stop reading the books and turn off media for a while.
A formal complaint was filed with the FEC and also supplied to Mueller. Wallace and the press can use that complaint as a template for questioning and assertions.
If I happen to be on Fox, he is one of many people who cause me to promptly change the channel. He's not worth giving anything of value to, for example, my attention, which has value.
Possibly ABC knows how corrupt it is for Mueller to hire all dems or Trump haters for his staff and then suggest there will be anything fair at all about his investigation.
Plus the cost is skyrocketing acknowledged by Kellyanne. Mueller needs to be fired which indirectly Trump can probably manage,might need a little help from Sessions.
Why anyone would disturb their Sunday morning by watching this bilge is beyond me. These shows will all go away if we just stop watching.
The NeverTrump panel is saying exactly what Mike Jr wants them to say and this is the biggest crime since Watergate. Perhaps he can explain what crime was committed.
Nobody is mentioning why this woman was given special treatment by Lynch. Nobody is concerned about the same meeting being held by Hillary.
