Here is the thing: the economy is growing the way it is ONLY because of Trump, because the business community trusts they have someone in the White House who has their back, who repealed thousands of stupid regulation, rolled back much of Obamacare (the Individual Mandate disappears next year, and that is the enforcement lynch pin), cut taxes, and overall created a pro-growth climate. Trump has done vastly more in 18 months to help business than Obama did in eight years. Obama, in fact, spent the bulk of his time criticizing business, criticizing the profit motive, denigrating free enterprise, and growing government at every opportunity, on every pale excuse.
If the goons who are willing to crash the economy to “stop Trump” get their way, they will, in fact, crash the economy. New hires will be laid off. Expansion plans will be halted.
And what does it even mean to “stop Trump”? This is the salient question. What do they oppose? Crassness? Surely that hurts no one but the stupidly oversensitive, and the professionally offended. His economic policies? They are working. The fact that he won the election unfairly? We have proven that not to be the case.
It is astonishing that large numbers of Democrats, simply through a Goebbelsian repetition of the Big Lie, have come to accept as a commonplace that only through massive Russian interference did their corrupt, lazy, unlikeable bitch of a candidate fail to win the Presidency she so deserved. This is ludicrous. This bullshit should fool no one. We have a production head at CNN saying “we got nothing. We do this for ratings.” We have Peter Stzrok saying “there is no there, there”, in the one place where he seemingly felt no need to lie.
And for fucks sake we have a former CIA Director who, more or less on his own account, as we can see now, ADMITS he tried to throw the election, that he used Disinformation (Dezinformasiya) to try and interfere domestically in our political process, which is ILLEGAL, and for obvious reasons. AND HE KEEPS DOING IT. This traitor had the audacity to call TRUMP a traitor on the Bill Maher show.
This shit show needs to stop. Maybe I don’t know the legalities. Maybe there are factors I am unaware of. But it would seem to me that senior officials in the government are At Will employees, who can be let go with or without cause at any time for any reason. You can remove Army officers, can you not? At a minimum, you can move them from the front line to Alaska or Montana, can you not?
Sessions has been AWOL more or less since he took office. Where the big questions are concerned, he has done nothing. He has punted. He has removed himself from the fray.
I personally don’t see how it could or can get more psychotic. There has been nothing like this in American history I can think of, with the exception perhaps of the Civil War itself.
And as one article put it, we really only have two parties: the Party of Trump, and the Party of corrupt elites, who exist on both sides of the aisle. The louder the shrieking, we can assume, the more threatened they feel their fiefdoms are, the more they fear their secrets will be exposed.
These are not my ideas, but Trump should fire Sessions–my gut instinct is he had this conversation with him last week, that if he would not step down he was going to be fired, and Sessions, for reasons apparently of cowardice, chose to be fired. His psychological motivations–they are not legal motivations, since Mueller walked right in with better reasons to recuse himself than Sessions–remain opaque to me. I have not studied the man. I can only guess that he feels, on the one hand, a sense of pride, and on the other an emotional paralysis which prevents him from making decisions likely to cause controversy, or personal attacks on him. That he is sustaining such attacks anyway seems not to matter.
Rosenstein, who specifically and personally authorized the fishing expedition at Cohen’s, for the naked purpose of digging up dirt on Trump, and nothing else, should be fired.
Mueller should be given until early September, Labor Day I think is what Trump supposed, then asked summarily to present his evidence. If he won’t do it, then he should be fired. If the Democrats heads explode: how will we know? They have exploded so many times already that I have lost count. If there were any rational brain cells remaining, it seems likely they were destroyed long ago. We can’t expect more shouting than we already have. We have been at peak boil for a while. And if they take to the streets, we can too. They may then realize they are fucking with much more capable people than they are. This is not a game to us.
And I’ve seen this idea of Trump declassifying data: on himself, on Hillary, etc. I can’t speak intelligently on this, other than to say I am absolutely in favor of him airing the dirty laundry of the FBI, and doing all he can to expose the crime syndicate linking the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice, the NSA possibly, and anyone else who may be attached.
And I have been calling for a purge for some time. A decimation. A ten percent reduction in force, starting with all known hard core Obama supporters who, it can be assumed, are sabotaging things to the extent they can.
America voted for Trump. I said we were kicking over a beehive, and boy was I right. This is unbelievable.
