It’s not often I, like most of America, make a point to watch MSNBC or CNN. If I want to know what leftists are thinking I just imagine something so incredibly insane that there’s no way an educated adult would actually believe it, then double it and I’m there. But Friday night was an exception, I had to see how they responded to the news of the Mueller Report’s submission to the Attorney General and no further indictments coming. It was glorious.
You rarely get the chance to watch someone have to choke down a crap sandwich of their own making in front of the people they’d been force-feeding one to for years, but that was Friday night on cable news.
Don Lemon, working both of his brain cells to their limit, wondered if President Trump not sitting down for an interview with Mueller “saved him,” then he brought on Dan Rather to discuss. I’m not making this up.
Everyone on those two channels should have been apologetic, gaslighting the country for 2 years before having the curtain ripped back so thoroughly should have been met with some humility. They should have been begging their audience for forgiveness. They were not.
Hilariously, these knuckle-dragging buffoons tried to play the “We have to wait and see what’s in the report” card. Suddenly, pragmatism and a desire to avoid speculation became the order of the day. It was as if the people who hear dog whistles in everything a Republican says had been deaf to their own voices for 2 years.
Elected Democrats, led by Congressman Adam Schiff (for brains), insisted the entire report be released against Department of Justice rules and, more importantly, without acknowledging they’d sworn to the public they’d personally seen evidence of corruption.
Normally this would be a devastating blow to elected Democrats – what journalist would have them back on television after they’d been exposed as straight-up lying every time they’d been on their shows? Luckily for them there aren’t any journalists left in the media.
Schiff was on MSNBC and not one single clip of his previous pronouncements was even alluded to, let alone played. Fox News played some (there are too many to play them all), but these people wouldn’t go near Fox News before, they surely won’t get into the same zip code as Fox now.
Democrats scrambled, scheduling a 3:00 pm conference call for Saturday on how to coordinate their messaging in the wake of the Mueller report contradicting everything they’d been saying. It’s likely there was feverish focus-grouping beforehand, hunting for the best way to convince an angry mob that even though everything they’d been promised was so really wasn’t, it doesn’t matter somehow. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall there.
By now, Democrats have their new talking points, “journalists” have been briefed and are on the same page, and all will start their week as if Friday didn’t happen. But it did happen. No matter how far the goalposts get moved, nothing is going to change that.
But they are trying.
In a possible preview, blogger for Esquire and CNN personality Ryan Lizza, who was fired from the New Yorker for “improper sexual conduct,” tweeted Friday, “*whispers* Mueller was always a side show the real action is in NY.” Two years, tens of millions of dollars, and no limit on what he can look into coming up empty is not enough for these leftists. They now turn their longing gaze north to New York, and not just the Southern District.
The state’s new Attorney General, Letitia James, promised the liberal mob she “will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.” It’s not often an elected official announces they will employ the Soviet tactic of investigating to see if they can find a crime rather than investigate when a crime has been reported, but these aren’t normal people. In fact, these aren’t even good people.
Friday night was fun – like watching an obnoxious kid wrestle with discovering the truth about Santa. But it was just one day. Liberals will choke down their crap sandwich, brush their teeth, and get right back on to work attempting to undo the 2016 election. They’ll do it with the media on their side, zero shame or sense of decency.
This is how they win – they play the long game and don’t let anything stand in the way of their goals. If Republicans don’t learn to counter it, to fight the way they do, to beat them until they don’t have the energy to cry for mercy, every GOP victory will be temporary. Friday was glorious, but it’s not Friday anymore. Our opponents are not done, we shouldn’t be either.
Derek is the host of a daily podcast (subscribe, it’s free!) and author of the book, Outrage, INC., which is about how liberals use fear and hatred to manipulate the masses.
There’s a continuum from evidence to innuendo to lies. We’ll see the entire contiuum in the report and it will all be called “evidence”.
Your sentiments are on target. The condition is polymorphous perversity, A baby in pp. That is, the baby does not question its hunger, discomfort, motivation, etc. It wants what it wants and it wants it now, no debate.
Democrats are the same as babies. They are not introspective. They do not question their motivation. In the case of the baby lack of introspection is a function of undeveloped consciousness. The same is true of liberals. Liberals do not question their motives because they are not functioning as reasonable people. They do not think about whatever it is they decide is true. They merely parrot ideas given them by their masters. Liberal masters are the people who provide their members with the security of acceptance by respected authority. They are members of a club that requires a set of beliefs for membership. They fight to remain in the club because it is their only security.
Of course they will spin it in any absurd way they can. The success of their attempt will depend on the Republicans and on the actions of the JD in pursuing REAL crimes by Democrats.
And fools gotta be fools...
In fact, these aren't even good people.But there they are, in positions of power. Prosecutors, judges, legislators, professors, reporters.
And we are supposed to have some sort of respect for the institutions?
Indeed. When it comes to eating a certain flavour of sandwich it is simply replenishing what is already witiin them.
Or be like that one Congressman (can’t remember his name, believe he was a former Jesuit priest from Michigan) who said, after Newt Gingrich was cleared back in the 90’s - “This just raises more questions than it answers”.
“This is how they win – they play the long game ... If Republicans don’t learn to counter it, to fight the way they do ... every GOP victory will be temporary.”
Exactly right.
“Mueller Delivers Liberals A Giant Crap Sandwich”
Liberals say no thanks....they don’t like bread.
bkmk
“...brush their teeth, and get right back on to work...”
They don’t bother to brush their teeth after eating crap, just like they never admit a mistake, or never apologize.
They hired Donna because conflict is drama and drama is news. You can’t have conflict without having a conflict driver. (It is the bad guy and his evil deeds that drives the hero into being the hero. Otherwise, the hero is just a pizza delivery guy.) Also, she’s black and female, which is a demographic they want. Probably blacks and females will not tune in if the only thing they are offered is white and male.
Then why aren’t they indicting Trump on obstruction ?
They didn't want to challenge the "no indictment of a sitting president" policy and didn't need to. Mainly they want the House to turn their material into a new witch hunt thet lasts through 2020. They have to provide a few hundred pages of innuendo and fakery, that's their whole purpose.
The problem we have is the Democrats never give up while the Republicans never show up.
Is there an Alinsky type of book the Conservatives can use?
I am only going to say this once - here, on just one “Mueller investigation over” thread.
I think some of the celebrating among us, Trump’s supporters, might possibly - we don’t KNOW - be pre-mature, and Conservatives should be holding the gloating until “the fat lady sings”.
NO this is NOT an endorsement of the Mueller “investigation” nor an endorsement of the likely many illegal acts committed by FBI & DOJ officials along the way.
It is simply an admission that we do not know what “conclusions” Mueller has drummed up and just what difficulties for us and Trump may result from them.
We know nothing truly damaging TO TRUMP has been revealed in any Mueller investigation leaks or any court actions against any individuals that have already taken place.
We do not know whether or not what else we don’t know about the Mueller investigation will be the total dud we think it ought to be, or if the biased opinions of Mueller and his investigations will interpret various “facts” - in their summary conclusions - as more damaging than our own legal experts will argue that they are.
I have learned to hold my celebrating until an act is actually over. Until we hear more from Barr, and the “conclusions” Mueller wrote are out, I think celebrating could be premature; NOT because I think Trump actually colluded with Putin, but only because how Mueller might have spun things in support of the Billary, Inc. hoax.
-—these people wouldn’t go near Fox News before, they surely won’t get into the same zip code as Fox now.——
Meanwhile on Free Republic, the Fox bashing by misguided purist conservatives continues unabated.

You nailed it. It’s like `professional’ wrestling; Evil Russian vs All-American Guy.
Maybe crazy like a fox, too; Brazile will run her mouth and call conservatives racist because she is an entitled ABW. This will fire up the Trump base even more since Fox News is their default network.
