Trump proven unfit for power again
The Washington Examiner ^ | June 29, 2022 | Editorial Staff

Posted on 06/29/2022 7:35:44 AM PDT by Oak007

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s Tuesday testimony ought to ring the death knell for former President Donald Trump’s political career. Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again.

Hutchinson’s resume alone should establish her credibility. The 25-year-old had already worked at the highest levels of conservative Republican politics, including in the offices of Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (LA), before becoming a top aide for former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.

In short, Hutchinson was a conservative Trumpist true believer and a tremendously credible one at that. She did not overstate things, did not seem to be seeking attention, and was very precise about how and why she knew what she related and about which testimony was firsthand and which was secondhand but able to be corroborated.

What Hutchinson relayed was disturbing.

She didn’t “lie.” She just recalled what she heard someone say to someone familiar with the situation.

I don’t blame Trump for being angry, for us, that his presidency was stolen from him. He was cheated. We were cheated. He worked hard and won. He fought to the end. I detest the good losers at the Washington Generals...ooops Examiner.

Ah ha! A new way for Never Trumpers to write anti Trump articles to bring his popularity to heel. Praise a liar for damning testimony. Even if the Secret Service involved wish to testify that her hearsay is lies. Anything unethical and crooked is a okay so long as it damages Trump! Bunch of losers!!!!!!!!!

[Having worked in the same circles with thousands of others I can attest that such a position does not guarantee credibility or prove someone holds conservative beliefs. I’ve known countless squishy lefty people who somehow wound up working for good conservatives. Case in point MSNBC leftist shill Nicole Wallace who has held some very high level jobs with conservative Republicans.

This Cassidy Hutchinson is obviously a liar and no different from many other self-important staffers whose only allegiance is to themselves.]


As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, indoctrination/brainwashing is more a statement of personal/institutional power than anything else. I can make you listen to any damn thing I feel like, and you will smile and nod approvingly, or else... Once someone reaches adulthood, you can’t change his mind - it’s baked in the cake.

People keep underestimating the role of guile. There is a certain type of straight shooter who says whatever he feels, anytime he feels like it. But on the whole, plenty of people know how to bide their time. There are people who understand the need to put up a facade while undermining their adversaries. Not everything’s a standup fight.

You know how even a tightly-controlled police state like the Soviet Union fell apart? Nationalists* kept their real feelings hidden while operating at the apex of the Russian empire. Yeltsin himself was a top level member of the nomenklatura, the Soviet elite. When he saw a little daylight re an opportunity to seize power, he took it.

People aren’t pawns on a chessboard. They will burrow into a job they like, entrench themselves, and lie their butts off to keep it. And when their superiors cross them in a way that they simply cannot abide, they will gut them from stem to stern.

* Leonid Kravchuk kept his dream of an independent Ukraine to himself even while rising to the top level of the Soviet elite. When the Russian empire was teetering on the edge of the abyss, he gave it a little nudge, at great personal risk. https://archive.ph/7kxSe

The Democrats have nothing on Trump - a fair trial would only prove his innocence and their guilt. That’s why they cannot allow a fair trial.

When the Republicans take back control of Congress and restore some semblance of balance to these committees, the Democrats will immediately lose interest in looking into Jan 6th. The last thing in the world they will want is real investigations or actual fair hearings.

Instead, the Democrats will revert to their old tactic of constantly leaking defamatory allegations to the fake news. Since their sources will be anonymous, there will be no opportunity for rebuttal or cross-examination.

My guess is that once they are in the majority, the Republicans will revert to being pussies and decide not pursue any serious investigations of their own. A few good MAGA congressmen will draft various articles of impeachment and call for various investigations, but they will end up mostly going nowhere.

Our only chance of getting justice is electing President Trump (for the third time) in 2024. I think, although he hides it well, he is boiling mad. I think there were actions he was on the verge of taking the second he got re-elected, that would have devastated the deep state.

He had an executive order prepared that would reclassify executive branch employees, making 90% of the permanent bureaucracy subject to firing at will. That’s why they had to steal that election at all cost - even at the cost of making themselves guilty of high treason.

If he can make it back to the White House alive, there will be Hell to pay.

I hope I live to see that day.

“Hutchinson’s resume alone should establish her credibility. The 25-year-old...”

The only 25 year-olds whose resume might establish their credibility are maybe war heroes or something like that.

Well...

My friend Brenda has a friend Letitia whose friend with
benefits (occasionally sees her about every five weeks),
told her that his wife knows someone who was told by her
pedicurist that two hookers on Pennsylvania Avenue saw
Trump on the hood of his limo shouting Capital Building at
the top of his lungs, holding a bottle of whisky in his
left hand, wearing only white with red polka dot underpants.
He had pulled off one of the wipers and was beating the
windshield using his right hand. He had a sash on that read
Vlad is my best and only friend.

Honest.

Why that’s the most daming information to be presented
before this committee.

Yes, but it was just hearsay!

Out of ourder. This hearing is adjourned.

That post is dumb. Any person with a pulse would be angry if they lost an election by what they believe it was fraud. Throwing his lunch plate against the wall is not only normal but one could say expected.

How in the world does that make Trump a criminal? It is just dumb.

What about Hillary? She left all her supporters standing in election night and Podesta had to show up, apologize.and tell her supporters to go home. I am just imagine how many glasses shattered against a wall that night.
