Cousin Mike and all....
I am watching Face the Nation, the pundit table. We got David Ignatius of the Wapo, somebody from the NY Times, other know-it-alls.
All they are talking about is Trump’s “collusion” with the Russians.
Yet Hillary sells rights to US uranium mines to the Russians, Podesta dealt with some bank, numerous ties of Clintons to Russia....Why aren’t they sitting around the table discussing ALL THIS?
They sit and talk, all serious and somber, about some rookie presidential candidate and how he, with help from Putin, plotted to overthrow the world that they may both be hailed and cheered Kings of the World.
Yet the people with the REAL power were making deals and clicking buttons and getting ten million dollars in speaking fees for one, maybe two sentences.
Cousin Mike....why isn’t our side out and about and pointing all this out? Editorials in the WSJ, called for press conferences....hell get President Trump to start tweeting!
THEY CONSTANTLY SET THE DIALOGUE!
With no opposition party in sight.
There was no collusion. If there were, then it would be devastating with no real defense. Let’s stick to the actual allegations and not even give the hint that the Russian involvement served a useful purpose.
Tough one to answer....
An attempt at diversion for actually accomplishing any of their campaign promises?
Hence the problem, the “their” in “playing right into their hands” looks to include both Dems and Reps.
Actually, I believe he is on a golf course with Rand Paul.
Really?
Okay, another intriguing question....WHERE IS BARACK OBAMA?
I heard he was on some island with 64 other males....seriously.
Probably, exchanging terminal STDs with them no doubt.
“Chunk, with his prison beard”—Chris Plante
I never thought of that but you have a point.
For the next two years, Obama and Jarret will be running a shadow government and devote their efforts towards the 2018 midterms. Obama will do whatever is necessary to cement his policies and protect his legacy. The MSM will act as the propaganda arm. Obama will be high profile once his book is ghostwritten and he goes on his book tour to coincide with the upcoming midterms.
Trump needs to ensure that Obama's crimes are made public and that he and his henchmen are held accountable. I was encouraged when Trump tweeted about Obama being behind him being wiretapped. The MSM, Dems, GOPe, and some conservatives distanced themselves quickly from these explosive charges, but I have no doubt that Trump will be vindicated if the information is made public. He would not make such a charge without having some proof. Hopefully, there are still patriots within the Deep State who will come forward with the truth.
Excellent post! I can’t disagree. Let’s hope it happens.
You say: “There was no collusion. If there were, then it would be devastating with no real defense. Lets stick to the actual allegations and not even give the hint that the Russian involvement served a useful purpose.”
Of course there was no collusion. That is not the point. They continue to rotely say this over and over. It is hard to show these idiots respect, I admit, but if you do show them the respect of making them think about what they are actually saying, it shuts them up. I have tried it over and over. It works. After they are unable to respond to what exactly was done to damage Hillary, it opens the door to make valid points that actually make sense.
If the subject becomes the surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition team using Russia as the pretext for doing so, then I hope it becomes front and center for a year.
IMO the let's move on narrative is being pushed now by the Dems and MSM because they know there is no evidence to support the allegation that Trump colluded with the Russians. They do know that there is some there there when it comes to the Obama administration illegally spying on the Trump campaign and the transition team. They would like for that to go away along with the Russia collusion narrative by coupling them together. I suspect that the GOPe would like to move on as well.
Maybe the current “Healthy Hillary” IS the double?
Even insinuating or conceeding that there could have been collusion is a big mistake that just reinforces the narrative. It won’t shut up Schiff, Pelosi, and Schumer.
My problem is what I heard today. It was all “get Trump all the time” by the drivebys with no evidence that Trump ever did any collusion with Putin which is insane anyway.
You gotta wonder....
You may well have the answer, the occasional appearance and that’s it.
You say, “Even insinuating or conceeding that there could have been collusion is a big mistake that just reinforces the narrative. It wont shut up Schiff, Pelosi, and Schumer.”
Actually, if we asked these questions every time it was mentioned it *would* shut them up. I know this for a fact, and have tried it, and it works. (Especially when the conversation then turns to what Hillary and DNC did to Bernie that was exposed, that is still a raw spot for the dems that I argue with). I do not believe that by asking them to think about what they are spewing in any way insinuates or concedes that they are correct in their assumptions. It merely gets them to start thinking and shuts them up.
