“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him. ... 1 Corinthians 8
What if all of the District of Corruption pundiots are wrong and firing Special Persecutor Mueller is not a mistake? What if they have been wrong about Trump from day one and are still wrong about him and it is not about Trump but about his army of patriots sick and tired of politicians. What if these Americans are smarter and more sophisticated than all of the smartest people in Washington and would welcome the firing of this dirty cop and his lynch mob?
All of the pudiots are warning President Trump should just allow Mueller to have free reign and lawyer up to ride this out when in reality he has every right to fire him. This is not Nixon against Woodward and Bernstein, this is the Establishment against the people. Back then there was no alternative media or internet and the media had all of the power of the press. There were actually newspapers and magazines people read with the three networks people waited diligently for their nightly brainwashing, none of that exists today.
Now people get their own news from sites and people they trust which is a completely different world. People know Mueller has picked only Democrat hacks and is himself corrupted more than FBI Director Comey who is the one who should be under investigation for who knows what.
When you have a deep sea fishing expedition of DNC hacks going after one of the most dynamic Republicans since Reagan you know you are actually watching lynch mob justice. It is time to fire the mob and stop this fake scandal. America has more important issues than whether one of Trump’s team was standing at a urinal when a Russian was in a stall. Can’t the Democrats win an election on something other than this?
If and when Trump or Sessions shuts down this coup attempt over nothing there will be 24/7 Watergate comparison coverage as the fake media tries to go back to a time when people trusted them. What they will find is there will be a bigger pushback from the alternative media and actual reporting of why Mueller and Hillary’s cronies had to go. There will be an actual discussion on the internet where they will find the people are better informed than they are and Trump’s approval by his voters will actually increase and so will his power.
What PravdABDNC does not understand is Trump is not the power, the people are. He simply won because he could articulate the Tea Party philosophies better than the Tea Party could. He does not understand it completely, but eighty percent is enough to satisfy the movement. These people understand the swamp is not trying to destroy Trump it is trying to destroy them and drive a wedge between them to destroy their movement. This will not happen as long as there is an internet where the truth can be spoken.
What will happen is once he is fired and the Establishmedia goes nuclear, the internet will explode back and the war will be in full fury. The Democrats are going to pretend it is the crime of the century while their people are covered in filth, how did you “earn” that $200 million Hillary? There are Trillions of graft and corruption Trump and his army is standing in the way of and he is only worth Billions, but it is the army that is causing the problems.
This army who is very well trained in politics now will mobilize and become even stauncher behind the President as he has done the unthinkable. ABDNCBS will think they have him as they make comparison after comparison with Nixon and then will be shocked as they find themselves on a branch the Tea Party is sawing off. They will find out there is only one group more despised than politicians and it is them and this will be their final mistake.
As the truth about Mueller/Comey is exposed by the internet the army will become more and more powerful as will the President. After surviving this lynch mob unscathed and no longer having to worry about every Russian meeting over his entire career or paying massive attorney fees, he will then be viewed as untouchable and the army will grow even more.
This is a new day and a new way. No longer can a couple Democrat hacks pretending to be objective journalists bring down a President since they are no longer believed or respected. The Tea Party knows what the media thinks of them and the feelings are mutual. The media realizes this movement reflects their demise and a new day for America. This is why they have thrown everything at President Trump since he is a symbol and carrying out this agenda. They are ineffective so they are using the entire power of the Federal gummit to lynch him and that is what Mueller and his Clinton war room represents. The Federal government is trying to overthrow a President and stop a revolution.
President Trump needs to shut down this coup and throw these snakes out in the street. Sessions needs to investigate the Comey and Mueller collusion and bring charges where necessary. Nobody said draining the swamp would be pretty just like the campaign was a fight. In these times you have to win ugly and firing the Special Persecutor is as ugly as it gets.
In the end it will be a Yuge victory for Trump as he and his army flex their new muscles to bring a cleansing to America. All the media huffing and puffing will not blow this army away and only make them more determined. The special prosecutor is the last gasp of a toothless lion who is all roar and no bite.
Pray America woke
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Heres a theory I am in the process of creating It goes like this.
..................
The Russian/Trump creation in league somehow with Putin yet never an ounce of evidence is far more sophisticated than anything the DNC could create, IMHO. My take is that it’s a bit too good for our opposition.
The dems,the one’s who killed/discovered Seth Rich did the hacking of their system then hired the likes of Alpha Jollah and two MS 13 guys to kill him are just not very smart. To think that they could get away with that is sheer folly.They may have gotten away with it for now but if they do the cleanup will have been done by someone else.
I think the someone else and the one behind the Russian op, is the CIA.
I think they have done op after op and have operation Mocking bird which placed 4-5,000 CIA types in the media in full swing with agents in the media everywhere and have been doing these things for decades. They are facilitating this one and it's one of the best disinformation ops we have seen in a long, long time. Note it has just a bit of truth in every phase but there is never a smoking gun,this is true disinformation,IMHO!!
(Just an aside: remember recently it was revealed that Isis leader— Al Baghdadi —was indeed not dead. He never is! I think he’s CIA and they keep protecting him. Otherwise, he would have been dead along time ago.) I think we are being played by the best of the best, the CIA, who does this stuff all the time and more than half the time its against the country as they did a major league job setting up Libya and much of the Arab Spring.
To me it’s all too logical, just makes good sense.

Remember the Boston Marathon and the Tsarnaev brothers, here’s more on them and quite surprising stuff that the drivebys left out of the story. Excellent work by FR’s own wtd.

above from Jason and George over at Crowdsource
Your theory might explain why CIA Director Mike Pompeo has been so vocal in slamming WikiLeaks as a “hostile intelligence service abetted by Russia”. He has also been denouncing Julian Assange as a fraud, a liar etc.
The CIA doesn’t like being exposed.
Thanks for thread A.B. We’ll see media try to trash Scaramucci right off the bat. Dredge up his contributions to Obama, his past criticisms of Trump, etc., anything but moving forward.
Let’s fire Mueller and McCabe and get on with it, but first get Wray confirmed at FBI. The committee passed him out and full Senate votes “soon”, whatever that means in Turtle’s world.
Nothing personal but I am glad Spicer is gone.
He just always seemed like he was on defense.
Huckabee takes it to them.
Sharp jab... smile..
Looks like Trump is going on offense today. Time to quit trying to play their game and play his.
It's known as disinformation.You mix in a little bit of truth but the overall premise,Trump colludes with Putin, is false.Another version of fake news.
To get away with somehitg like this it has to be done by a group with massive power, pull,currency and standing.They have to have people positioned everywhere to get stuff like this done.The CIA does and has all that and more.
If you want another example of how all this works just look at what was done in Libya.
Soros decided that a gold backed dinar which Qdaffi was planning to do was bad for his interests.
He called in his army of criminals beginning with hill/bama and they united the UN,Nato,all of Eurpoe and led by the CIA they dropped more bombs on Libya than in all of WWII destroying the country in a few years.
They hired 250k terror types,paid them well and killed 600k people.THe only hope for Libya these days are the ancient tribes that still exist.Hopes are they can take back the country from the terror types who got the spoils of war.
The media hype was well coordinated by the CIA much like we see with Trump. It's a well coordinated op designed to sway public opinion and create their own "truth" out of a huge set of lies.
In Libya it was easy to do a lot harder with Trump since he can fight back,the Libyans never had a prayer.
To me it’s all too logical, just makes good sense.
...I agree 100% with the analysis.
I think they know they will never get anything on Trump but what they will get after asking so many questions you can't keep track of them all is a perjury trap which is what this entire thing is all about.
If it leads to impeachment so be it. But impeachment and 2018 elections are what this entire op is all about. We should never lose sight of that.
Referring to Spicer’s replacement, I prefer a baseball analogy.
He’s been a real fine starting pitcher with good speed, control and pitch selection against a hyper-strong lineup, but his pitch count’s getting high and the coach decided to sit him down.
(He may also be a tiny bit too much of a Gentleman for some of the SHTF stuff that might just be ready to launch, but I’m not going to predict ANYTHING out of ‘45.)
Thanks very much Rich. I just don’t see the DNC being able to create the monster that has been created that can enable a special prosecutor who hires only hardcore dems to look into only stuff that will go after Trump or high administration types.
I think they know they will never get anything on Trump but what they will get after asking so many questions you can’t keep track of them all is a perjury trap which is what this entire thing is all about.
If it leads to impeachment so be it. But impeachment and 2018 elections are what this entire op is all about. We should never lose sight of that.
...........
Their arrogance will make them fail, Soros included. They continue to underestimate Trump...even to the point of why Spicer was replaced. They see it as Trump weakness...that is why he is playing chess when they play checkers...
Their players are dirty, evil, underhanded...and even deadly. His players, Trump included, are shrewd, calculating, and gifted with timing.
Huckabee is surprising how good she is. She has that Southern, Y’all are idiots attitude going and puts them in their place.
Gonna take this day and watch the BRITISH Open! Of course, after I cut the grass.

The flap about the French President’s wife, Caitlyn Jenner has political ambition and Ann Coulter’s Airplane story.
That’s over a 20 year age difference with the husband being the younger.
So Trump told Mrs. Macron ”You’re in good shape. Beautiful.”
Rush Limbaugh explained Trump’s persona as regards this matter, stating that in Trump’s world, a man will always love hearing his wife is beautiful, especially if she’s 20 years older than him.
Egads.
Gathering breath. Lord I would hate it if a man commented on my appearance, especially in such a public setting. Trump would have been so much better to just nod approvingly and not said a word.
But that’s just me.
The rest of the world is having a cow over this but seriously, it’s harmless. And he meant well, know that when Trump notices and comments on female beauty he means it and he thinks any woman and her husband would also approve.
Well frankly I am okay with that. Once Caitlyn meets President Trump, he will bow, kiss a hand, and comment “You’re in good shape. Beautiful”.
Heh.
The dolts on the airline, which there have been many of late, up and demanded that Coulter move to another seat even though she had paid extra for extended leg room in the seat whereupon she had been already seated.
Hey, isn’t it time for these airlines to show a little good behavior and manners when these things crop up? Or will the airlines continue to drag people through the aisles, break their teeth, and say bad things about them?

Giving up on Health Care
They are our keepers, those legislators. They know what’s best and they know how to fool us.
They tell us to vote them to the House. We do. “But we now need the Senate,” they shout! So we vote in the senate. Yes we do.
“We need the presidency,” they shout. “We voted to repeal Obamacare but President Obama vetoed. Give us the presidency and we will repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better.”
Well they lie now don’t they.
As I type this I understand that President Trump has invited all the GOP to the White House for lunch.
Hmmmmm.
First, even though John McCain did give us Campaign Finance Reform, which he worked on and crossed the aisle to bring us this which leaves me sleeping better at night….he needs to be thrown out of there.
And Susan Collins? Please. She has the worst voice in the history of the world. She needs to be put in an airplane with John McCain as pilot and with luck McCain will steer the plane straight at the ground.
As is his wont.
Rand Paul can go jump in a lake with his self-righteousness. That whole family is a bunch of loons.
Because we gave them all three branches of the government and turns out…perish the thought.
THEY WERE LYING TO US!
It might take a couple of years and you might say if we kick out sweet-voiced Susan Collins then we will get a Democrat who will never vote against Obamacare.
What’s your point?
Thursday Date-7/20/17
The health care debates continues on. John McCain’s health issues. How about that woman killed by the cop responding to her call?
President Trump allegedly told all the Senators congregated at the White House with him to not go on recess until the health care issue is dealt with in some fashion.
I don’t especially like John McCain’s politics but nobody deserves a monster tumor in their brain like McCain has.
Here’s hoping he somehow recovers (though I understand that won’t likely happen?) or that he does not suffer long.
Evidently, although details are scarce, the lady ran up to the responding cop car and the officer in the driver’s seat shot the woman THROUGH THE DRIVER’S SIDE DOOR!!!
Bullets whizzing right by his partner and another intriguing tidbit, the two officers had the dashboard and their body cams off.
Why?
Aren’t those things provided so they are ON at times like this?
Or could the COPS themselves have been the one attacking a woman in that alley?
Officer Noor is a Somali and….well who knows?
But no dash cam, no body cams….bullets flying by partner’s head.
This is all we need people, cops now allowed to shoot those who dare call them.
Think about it.
Except, of course, those who think he is innocent of killing Nicole and Ron. They are stupider even than OJ.
So today is his parole hearing cause this dangerous nutjob charged into a motel room, held people hostage, and was armed.
Something about getting his property back.
I hope he goes back to jail. This country is so much better off with this guy in jail. ————————————————

The Jeff Sessions brouhaha
I am very confused by the Jeff Sessions flap in that President Trump gives an interview trashing Sessions to the NY Times.
Trump professes to hate the Times but he uses that print vehicle to trash his Attorney General?
And no matter what paper of record used, why would the President publicly excoriate his AG?
First, my head spins from all this Russian stuff and now we are going to have a big investigation over this nothing story and the GOP can’t…well at the least, can’t we investigate Hillary and President Obama too?
Or….could this all be a plan? Could the plan be to talk bad about Jeff Sessions for some reason I can only speculate about?
When all the GOPe types like Susan Collins hear that Trump is mad at Jeff Sessions and talking to the NY Times, I dunno, maybe something will come out that the Trump administration knows about but wants it discovered under their plan?
If not some secret plan, than I think Trump was totally in the wrong to publicly rebuke his AG and frankly, why didn’t Sessions tell Trump that he was recusing himself from the Russian investigation BEFORE Trump made him AG?
Something wrong with this whole story but can’t put my thumb on it.

A mess at the White House-Spicer and Sessions
Because call me a bit naïve, but when Sean Spicer got appointed Press spokesnoid I was quite happy. I wasn’t happy because I knew Sean Spicer, which I did not, but because finally, as I saw it, Trump got to appoint his choice for some of those offices.
And Jeff Sessions? I was delighted when he got appointed but now I find out that President Trump is, and has not been, pleased with Sessions.
This new guy, Scaramucci, really surprises me.
First, Mark Levin went over some of Scaramucci’s comments from a while ago and I am shocked.
Scaramucci himself apologized all over the place about calling Trump a hacker. Levin recited Scaramucci’s comments on guns in America, as I paraphrase: “America has 50% of the guns on the planet. Time to start exerting some control.”
Scaramucci also commented how Hillary is a great person and a few other liberal things that give me pause and make me wonder what the hell is Trump thinking?
Best I can figure, Reince Priebus talked Trump into some appointments, Sessions probably, Spicer. Priebus was working with the established GOP and was likely trying to make everyone happy.
“You gotta keep Comey on,” Priebnus said, “he knows where all the bodies are buried,” I can hear Reince telling Trump now.
But President Trump is just not a guy to accept someone who he does not like or with whom he has no trust. Like Comey before, I think Trump graciously accepted the offers of the established GOP experts and as for me, a Trump supporter, I was okay with it so long as Trump was happy.
I think Trump needs more time to get to know the existing candidates and ascertain if they can work with him.
