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.
I appreciate your informing us here. But I absolutely treasure the fact that you stick around for your post replies and engage.
It is refreshing and wonderful.
Thank you for all that you do for us.
I hope I’m wrong.
It been a major turn of events over the last 24 hours.
Pendulum is swing back in Sessions favor.
I agree with you at least 1000%. Good point - we need faith in our Constitutional form of government, and faith that wrongdoers WILL face justice.
Anything in business/politics is negotiable, but as Trump knows, always negotiate from a position of strength.
LOL!
I did not put that tag; it was not needed.
Personally, I have 3 wishes for the Trump administration:
1)That the many murders, and convenient suicides and fatal accidents are investigated, prosecuted, and the Clintons, Obamas, and other high ranking Dems are convicted.
2) That Obama is prosecuted for the fraud of posting a fake birth certificate and for using a fake social security number, etc.
3) That the Department of Education is completely shut down, the buildings razed, and the earth salted.

No way! From Pence??
Nevermind...
“...Obama...literally create evidence...”
This is my fear as well.
WOW, they are playing hardball for sure!!!
Ppl can dispute Trump’s tweeting methods, but Mike Pence would never tweet this if he were not 110% serious.
No bullets, Trump uses a flamethrower!
Thanks for the update. That is some new info I hadn’t seen yet. Is that why they had so much trouble with the OCON from Hawaii and why Pelosi had to certify him eligible instead of the State of Hawaii like it is normally done?
CGato
Why do you assume Pres. Trump is such a babe in the woods? This whole thing is just beginning, and the MSM types spouting off today are going to be yugely humiliated!
Wow that is huge....it implies quite a bit that a politician like Pence would make this type of statment. It implies that they have rock solid evidence and are just letting them twist right now.
Forget it...that's not the real Pence twitter account. It's meaningless.
You can’t find this in the news about Reid GJ, and the news there is (John Swallow acquittal) seems bad. But read the tea leaves.
Shurtleff and Swallow now available to squeal. wink wink
