Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.
Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.
Ooops.
I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.
Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.
Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.
He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.
By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.
Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.
Yeah, we know that. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
(Canadians can't be our president)
Well, if those "U"s are Trump voters, then they are no strangers to "Fake-News" and "The most dishonest people on the planet"
If they're not Trump voters or not voters at all...then it matters little.
Guess we have to be careful what we ask for.... been praying for DJT to finally incinerate the RATS and... he did!
Nothing is the same anymore, we done crossed the Rubicon this AM.
Man, I hope that's the case. LOL.
It's not an outlandish suggestion, since even the Republican senators with an IQ below 90 (that would be Fake War Hero McCain) bought into that silly story.
His boss really didn't have a say in the matter. Sessions stated in his press conference that Trump didn't want him to recuse himself, but he said his obligations as a lawyer dictated his course of action.
P.S. -- Sessions was going to have to recuse himself down the road anyway, and if Trump put any kind of pressure on him not to do so then Trump would come off looking like he's got something to hide.
I found this laying in the driveway. I think it belongs to you.
Robert Acosta of the Washington Post and Evan McMurray of ABC know this how? They’ve been so reliable in the past. I’m calling Fake News
75% of Independents like what Trump is doing.
Bob seems to be very concerned..... I’m not!
I agree, way too much corruption has gone down for decades in government. We need to do both in order to restore faith in our Constitutional government.
CGato
Indeed!
Our fearless leader burned the ships, the bridges and everything else in his way.
He has set his face like flint!...Isaiah 50:7
God love him and protect him!
Tweet from Pence. They’re tightening the screws. Some big stuff is about to happen.
The Vice President
@MikePenceVP
Will Obama make history again and be the first former President of the United States to be jailed?

Google we must ?
Oh, my.... you should probably post that as a thread.
Pence tweeted THAT?
That is completely out of persona for him...is that real?
Please remove Post 432. It’s fake news. Thanks.
That’s a fan account.
Same here
You "Nailed" the election results the Monday before.
This has nothing to do about what's going on here, BUT I can't understand HOW did the Clinton campaign get so blindsided on Election night when Trump knew he was going to win the day before?
thank you.
WOW !!!!!!!
