Like HTML sandbox we need Alinsky training here at FR. To recognize it and to spin it back onto leftists.

Trump spins them well. We need to do the same.

Begin by reading:

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

He's not a quitter
He's a good man
He is being set up
We need him to hold the line on this crap

And he needs our prayers to deliver him from evil

I hope he announces some forthcoming indictments for pedophilia and that he's going to keep doing his job and if they have anyone who wants to “investigate” and interview him - go for it. He's made his statement and there's nothing to equivocate.

Let Schumer McCain Graham and Pelosi keep flailing. The more people learn about the facts, the more foolish they look.

I hope this is business, not something related to the Russians hacking the Academy Awards.

MY hope is not only does he dress down the LIARS in the Rat party who accuse him of lying by reading the FULL Question and answer, but also DIRECTLY address the Shenanigans being conducted by Obama’s people leaking partial Classified Documents that show not only are they doing it to attack a Republican President but that the TARGETED Trump with actions that are considered abuse of Power once the election was over.

Um, I, ah, agree with you. Yikes.

Stop falling in the same trap. Has no one learned the Democrat’s play book? Ignore them and move on.

My guess is he explains what senators do and that’s the end of it. He will probably offer to recuse if needed.

Apparently, Sessions will admit that he did indeed talk to the Russian Ambassador, but the topics were limited to the grandkids and golf.

Isn’t that the truth.

Look at the last eight years and not a peep about a guy using terrorists as advisers in his administration.

“Why would he hold a press conference to resign?”

I think you are absolutely right. Cabinet level officers don’t resign at news conferences. Such moves are almost always announced through the White House, and through accepting a resignation.

Maybe they allowed this to boil for 24 hrs before dropping a big one on the Dems at this presser ?

Glad you do. FReepers..., we’re pretty much of a same mind on this.

They do fall in the same trap, over and over and over...

Look at the stuff pulled under Obama. Not a peep by our side.

The Democrats are moving every speck of lint looking for a dark secret.
