Wow, they are deranged. More important than the article is the comments, some calling for armed revolt against conservatives.
Jonah Goldberg has turned into a phony on the Trump-Russia Big Lie.
Goldberg had the chutzpah to say this: “James Baker would be a windmill of fists” if the Russians ever approached him.
I think that is a load of bullshit.
How about James Carville....would he turn it down.
How about Lee Atwater...would he turn it down.
How about David Axelrod, who got more divorce decrees ripped open for Obama and destroyed more lives for politics that ten thousand KGB agents, would he have turned it down?
How about Ted Kennedy, inviting the Soviets in to the US election in 1984? Would he have turned them down? Obviously not.
And of course Hillary, the Ukraine, and then the Podesta, DNC emails that showed horrible deceit to win elections. Frankly, CNN lied for Hillary, they are worse than Trump. They are guilty of the same sins of which they accuse Trump.
This is not “whataboutism”, this is about ignoring “continents of information” that destroy your thesis. There is no proportion.
Had Trump taken $500K for a speech and then sought to sell our uranium industry to our worst enemy, I think Goldberg would have rendered his garments on live TV. Please, all readers, do that exercise in your mind...if Trump had sold our uranium industry for $145MM in commissions what would CNN be saying with that history? These leftist liars would be bleeding from every orifice.
In his hatred for anything Trump, Goldberg now creates a fantasy world of superior moralistic beings who have always run our politics, and that now we have descended into a very terrible place with Donald Trump. He is horrified that no one in the history of politics ever did something this low and terrible, like take a meeting with some bullshit lawyer who has a dossier from Russia on their political opponent. (Wait, didn’t the FBI, the DNC and the MSM do this exact thing with Piss-Gate? Didn’t John McCain send a lackey over to Europe to pick it up?) That is his argument and it doesn’t jive with anything in our history. Like a good propagandist he leaves out continents of information. He, like the left, ignore so many blatant potholes in their logic, that you could lose marching armies in them. Which is why the DNC-Media Big Lie of Russia Russia Russia is not working. The Internet, for all its faults, does have immense fact checking power, and the awesome size of its oceanic currents quickly wears down these mounds of bullshit. The people do have the library of congress at their fingertips and they can find the “continents of information” that Goldberg, Kristol and their ilk deliberately leave out.
They have no sense of proportion. In the face of hard evidence of the DNC lying with CNN on behalf of Hillary Clinton and actually subverting democracy, they caterwaul for weeks on this nonsense Russian meeting of oppo-research, when every single campaign in the histories of campaigns would have taken it. Please stop the bullshit, and the pearl clutching and the fainting couch routine on Bret Baier’s show. No one is buying it. Goldberg, you hate Trump and you are becoming a useful idiot for the leftwing DNC.
It was always the refreshing right that gave the full story while the MSM left out “continents of information” in order to sell a narrative. (Think of how Obama-Care was sold, anything missing?) Now National Review is joining the leftwing legions of Agit-Propiteers, and trying to outdo them. National Review has not done itself any favors by garbage reporting and is losing readers.
It’s not that I don’t care, but prove to me that:
a) They did it.
b) That Trump worked with Russia to hack the DNC & Podesta.
As far as Don Jr., knowing what we know now, obviously taking the meeting was stupid, but at that time, all he was thinking was he was going to get oppo research. I don’t care what lies Hillary’s people tell, they would taken the dirt on Trump from anyone who had it.
All this IS having its desired effect: to (somehow) keep Hillary, Bill, Loretta, Holder, Comey, and Blabbermouth-Shultz out of jail.
It’s called “opposition research,” New Yawk Slimes.
i’m shocked, shocked i tell you,
that a political campaign would try to get dirt on an opponent.
Voting for Trump to be our President, made 62+ million of us into Dumb Deplorable Colluders, MAGA!
The Ny Slimes, Compost, LaRazaLa Slimes, ABCNNBCBS/FAUX and all of the left wing Fake News operators can go into an alley, whine, have group mixed sex, and get drugged out! We don’t believe their Russia/Russia/Russia Fake bs posing as news!
We are Dumb/Deplorable Colluders. (check my colluding tagline which is not copyrighted and any other Dumb Deplorable Colluders can use it!)
MAGA!
LOL, the NYT idiots really think that we’re too stupid to know that Obama/Hillary actively colluded with Russia while in office to undermine the U.S., because they didn’t report it honestly. Now, we’re all supposed to get our knickers in a twist because someone from the Trump campaign was willing to talk to them.
They honestly believe that if you tell a lie often enough it becomes truth. They’re like little children with their hands over their ears because if they don’t hear the truth, it will not exist.
It used to be that if a secretary of state had egregious lapses in security of top secret information that involved national security, breaking rules that every dweeb from the janitors to the cafeteria workers are trained annually on how not to leak confidential information, that both parties would express outrage and call for that person to be tried and likely sentenced to jail.
So don’t come whining to us about a case of selective outrage. Trump Jr. was (and has always been) a private citizen. He’s not a federal employee so he can’t be held to the standards of federal employees. In addition, the emails make clear that nothing of importance was transacted between the two parties so if you can excuse Bill Clinton “colluding” with Loretta Lynch over Hillary and then excusing it to say they were only discussing grandchildren, then Trump Jr. should be excused for naively taking the bait of a Russian spy when all they talked about was adopting children.
Where and what time will the NYT have the pity party?
“Look to the right now and you’re apt to find an alternative reality in which the same set of facts is rearranged to compose an entirely different narrative.”
That’s exactly the way I see it, except it’s the MSM doing the spinning, NOT Breitbart.
[ Lou Dobbs: “This is about a full-on assault by the left, the Democratic Party, to absolutely carry out a coup d’état against President Trump aided by the left-wing media.” ]
That is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, New York Slimes. Keep lying.
