Jason Miller Responds to Bush&Obama Attacks on Trump: Thanks for the $20T in Debt You Left Behind

Jason Miller, former communications director for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, joined SiriusXM host Matt Boyle on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily to talk about the struggle between President Trump and both the Republican and Democrat political establishments. Miller said the president has a “really good shot” at getting his tax reform plan through Congress after a successful budget vote on Thursday.

“If you’re not on board with cutting taxes, then this truly is one of those issues where you probably need to look in the mirror and evaluate whether you’re in the right party or not,” he said.

“It looks like things are in pretty good shape here. I think what the president is trying to do with lowering the marginal rates for people and giving them a paycheck increase, and also lowering the business tax to help us create more jobs – I think this is going to lead to explosive economic growth,” he predicted.

Miller said it was important for the politicians in Washington to understand that the American people “want to get this done.”

Hillarity and Bill out on her never ending, not her fault apology book tour and Trump slamming, complete with an ever popular Hillarity fall and go boom finale, seems normal enough.

And, obama coming out of retirement to help the team is also to be expected.

However, I do think it’s unusual to see WBush finally break his silence and join with the other heads of Family to now speak out about the ever evil Trump, as he and they just did.

Therefore, I have to wonder what chit is about to hit the fan after this “calm before the storm”.

A few foggily conspiratorial things come to mind. For example:

The JFK info is set to be released, but “they” don’t want it released.
The LV shooting has been locked down with more speculation than answers.
The Russian uranium scandal/treason and many other possibly interrelated and scandalously illegal and very long hanging fruit now seem ripe enough to pick.

All of this and maybe more now coming together in a ‘perfect storm’, perhaps?
Well, maybe, maybe not... I guess we’ll just have to stay tuned and find out.

In the meantime, pray for President Donald J. Trump, his family, his crew and their allies and that they all survive and conquer the coming storm.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the subject of "the 'spirit of liberty'" which George Bush introduced in his speech on Thursday should be compared to that great Speech of Conciliation . . . .' by Edmund Burke before the British Parliament in 1775. In it, Burke was specific in his own description of that 'spirit' in the year before the Declaration of Independence.

Burke attributed the 'spirit' largely to religious motivation among the colonists and to the colonists' British roots.

The "spirit" was, however, at the heart of the move for Independence, along with the idea of national sovereignty, and unrelated to international "entanglements" (Washington's Farewell Address)

Every American and every British citizen who loves liberty should take this time and opportunity read, or reread, Edmund Burke's 1775 Speech on Conciliation with the Colonies, for it contains such detailed and marvelous documentation of the "spirit of liberty" of 1775 and 1776, which, in 2016, seems to be rekindled among the citizenry of both America and Britain.

Consider these brief excerpts:

"In this character of the Americans, a love of freedom is the predominating feature which marks and distinguishes the whole; and as an ardent is always a jealous affection, your Colonies become suspicious, restive, and untractable whenever they see the least attempt to wrest from them by force, or shuffle from them by chicane, what they think the only advantage worth living for. This fierce spirit of liberty is stronger in the English Colonies probably than in any other people of the earth, and this from a great variety of powerful causes; which, to understand the true temper of their minds and the direction which this spirit takes, it will not be amiss to lay open somewhat more largely.

"First, the people of the Colonies are descendants of Englishmen. England, Sir, is a nation which still, I hope, respects, and formerly adored, her freedom. The Colonists emigrated from you when this part of your character was most predominant; and they took this bias and direction the moment they parted from your hands. They are therefore not only devoted to liberty, but to liberty according to English ideas, and on English principles. Abstract liberty, like other mere abstractions, is not to be found. Liberty inheres in some sensible object; and every nation has formed to itself some favorite point, which by way of eminence becomes the criterion of their happiness. It happened, you know, Sir, that the great contests for freedom in this country were from the earliest times chiefly upon the question of taxing. Most of the contests in the ancient commonwealths turned primarily on the right of election of magistrates; or on the balance among the several orders of the state. The question of money was not with them so immediate. But in England it was otherwise. On this point of taxes the ablest pens, and most eloquent tongues, have been exercised; the greatest spirits have acted and suffered. In order to give the fullest satisfaction concerning the importance of this point, it was not only necessary for those who in argument defended the excellence of the English Constitution to insist on this privilege of granting money as a dry point of fact, and to prove that the right had been acknowledged in ancient parchments and blind usages to reside in a certain body called a House of Commons. They went much farther; they attempted to prove, and they succeeded, that in theory it ought to be so, from the particular nature of a House of Commons as an immediate representative of the people, whether the old records had delivered this oracle or not. They took infinite pains to inculcate, as a fundamental principle, that in all monarchies the people must in effect themselves, mediately or immediately, possess the power of granting their own money, or no shadow of liberty can subsist." - Edmund Burke, 1775 "Speech on Conciliation. . . ."

Of the American colonies, Burke also observed:

" In other countries, the people, more simple, and of a less mercurial cast, judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze." - Edmund Burke, 1775"Speech on Conciliation. . . ."
