I'm sold on Julie being a Republican Never Trumper. Possibly paid shill.
We've had them here before, and they never would tell me where to sign up to be a professional troll.
But... Julie! Fooled? No, just we had no choice except the Game Show Host and the Corrupt Rapist Enabler.
The Game show Host told us he'd cut taxes, ( he did ) cut back the massive bureaucracy, ( he is ) and Make America Great Again. ( not needed, we just needed to stop the New Normal regression of the Marxist/Alinskyite Left. )
OTOH the Corrupt Rapist Enabler, She told us she was going to be the First Female President, that It Was Her Turn, and that we were bad people. "deplorable".
According to Amy Chozick's new book, as it turns out, she had lumped All Who Oppose Her into multiple baskets.
Even the Lefty Journalists noticed she was taking big bribe money from foreign donors.
Baskets.
The "always vote Republican no matter what" Basket. ( the Yellow Dog Democrats are the same. "vote for a yellow dog before a Republican" )
The people hurt by Obama's policies basket. ( Millions )
And of course, The Deplorables.
The comment may have cost her the election, by energizing people to vote for Anybody But Hillary. ( I did, but I publicly stated so, LONG before that gaffe )
So, Bad Combover, or Corrupt Rapist Enabler?
America chose.
But why was that the choice?
Media. Clinton herself ( from Amy's book ) wanted to run against Trump. ( So would I ) Certainly she didn't want to run against Another Bush. ( also from book )
And Donald was GREAT for ratings. The 4-10 second sound bite is King in Modern Infotainment, and Donald's were, and are, the best this side of Vladimir. The CNNs and ABCs of the world deliberately didn't bother to cover the other 15 R candidates, except to ask them about how they felt at Trump's latest insult, or twit on policy. Over a YEAR of Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump..... A lot of folk didn't even know who else was running. I bet you didn't.
I will repeat. Don't like the guy. Never did. Don't like his act, don't like his Persona.
OTOH, he is more or less doing as promised. Both he and Obama had to deal with Republican Senators that hated him, and wouldn't support his ideas. Although, Barry had a MUCH easier time getting his nominees passed, and had more support from the Dems, which Donald has diddle.
I'm watching. He hasn't promised his loyal followers that he would send armed troops to my door in the night to steal my stuff. ( Hillary did ) We got a tax cut that didn't hurt me any. I'm divided on his foreign policy, but Saudi Arabia's coup and reformation NEVER would have happened under Obama, and probably not under Hillary.
And, like Nixon, he was handed Barry's Wars, ( Vietnam ) and the withdraw from the region is complicated by Barry's illegal funding of Iran. Even LBJ, who deserves his place in Hell, didn't send pallets of cash to North Vietnam, then lie about it.
In conclusion, we KNOW he's a Democrat who Bribed Clinton. We KNOW he's a unfiltered jerk. We KNOW he's the opposite of cultured and Establishment. ( well Done Steak with Ketchup? Dang! )
And none of that matters since He's Not Hillary. Thank the Gods.
On Sunday, Nunes told Fox News anchorwoman Maria Bartiromo, “We now know that there was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation” of Trump’s aides. Nunes has read the classified materials, and he is making a deeply troubling allegation: An official investigation was mounted against an American presidential campaign with no official information to support it.
Look, some people are still confused about how stunning Nunes' revelation was in his interview with Bartiromo (who picked it up immediately). If you don't mind, let me simplify what happened. THIS is what 0bama & Clinton wanted to avoid when framing Trump - evaluation of their BS story via official FBI & DOJ protocols:
The reasons are simple. First, they knew 'Trump-Russia' was a total LIE. Second, the internal evaluation process would have killed the sorry, for the nonsense it was.
They were certain Clinton would win, but even so, it was too much of a risk to run it thru official channels.
The challenge : how do we give this lie legitimacy?
Answer: we create the IMPRESSION that it had 'high level', international attention. Without following internal rules.
Simple.
0bama & Clinton CREATE the lie, via Fusion GPS and Brennan, with Comey on board.
In steps Brennan, Clapper & Comey, who LEGITIMIZE the lie, via Congress (McCain & Reid).
They then feed the lie back to Comey, who starts an FBI investigation.
The FBI investigation is able to start, with NO INTERNAL EVALUATION of the actual story.
The lie is then injected into the public space, via 0bama/Clinton media slaves.
See how these crooks worked it now?
The lie itself was injected into the American Congress and IC via a network of Clinton sleazebags (eg Shearer, Downer, Schiff) and Obama corrupt lieutenants (Brennan, Clapper).
BOOM : hey presto, the FBI have a full investigation ongoing of Trump-Russia, with ZERO verified intelligence supporting it.
0bama/Clinton media slaves start a 24/7 assault on Trump, who is entirely innocent and is being framed.
All based on a lie that was never vetted.
0bama then starts illegal spying on Trump and all 'two hop' associates (remember, they had been spying on GOP primary nominees since 2015). The lie used to legitimize this, in Oct 2016.
The lie is also used for the Mueller SC.
As Nunes just confirmed, there never was any official intelligence to justify what has happened. That's because corrupt officials used the cover of office to commit crimes.
They were so certain Clinton would win, they subverted the Constitution & the rule of law.
They tried to rig an election and conspired to destroy an innocent citizen and his family, a POTUS-elect and a POTUS.
Sunday Talks – Explosive Interview With Devin Nunes CTH, April 22, 2018
Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the origin of the counterintelligence operation that began in July 2016 against the Trump campaign.
Last week the FBI released the original “electronic communication” (EC) documents that underpinned the origin of the FBI counterintelligence operation. The first half of this interview contains some stunning information: the raw intelligence product within the EC did not come through official intelligence channels.
Meaning, the origin of the 2016 counterintelligence operation, which was specifically started by CIA Director John Brennan sharing his ‘raw intelligence product’ with the FBI, was not an official product of the U.S. intelligence community. Brennan was NOT using official partnerships with intelligence agencies of our Five-Eyes partner nations; and he did not provide raw intelligence -as an outcome of those relationships- to the FBI.
The questions, many of which are rhetorical against the backdrop of political motives, become: if the EC is not based on official intelligence from U.S. intelligence apparatus or any of the ‘five-eyes’ partners, then what is the origin, source and purpose therein, of the unofficial raw intelligence? Who created it? And why?
Joe diGenova Discusses Comey, McCabe and Political Weaponization of FBI and DOJ CTH, April 24, 2018
Joe diGenova appears on Fox News with Tucker Carlson to discuss the ongoing investigation into James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch and the politicization of the DOJ and FBI by former President 0bama intelligence officials:
I believe the black community can do it without hand-outs. I believe the Democrats have strapped us to our past to prevent us from our futures. And I won’t stop fighting until all black Americans see that.
TorqueHD, I'm culling most of this stuff from the daily Presidential Politics thread on CTH (see link posted above).
Newsworthy items in this thread, typically over a thousand posts a day (on a slow day!) are 100% crowd-sourced; i.e., guerrilla journalism.
I found the link to Dan Bongino's report posted below in this manner:
quote:
In this episode I address the multiple bombshells in Maria Bartiromo’s weekend interview with Devin Nunes about the Russia investigation. I also discuss the Left’s hooliganism and their attacks on a country singer and a conservative woman.
Hall testified that the tax law signed by President Donald Trump at the end of last year is stimulating economic growth.
“In our projections, the effects of the 2017 Tax Act on incentives to work, save and invest, raise real potential GDP throughout the 2018 and 2028 period,” he told the committee. “Over the same period, the Tax Act is projected to boost the level of real GDP by an average of 0.7 percent and nonfarm payroll employment by an average of 1.1 million jobs.”
Gorka reveals that emails exist between 0bama & Clinton, proving their role as originators/chief planners in the conspiracy to smear, illegally spy on and undermine citizen & POTUS Trump, as well as to rig a US Presidential election. #ObamaGate
Each passing day has me more and more convinced that there was a clear conspiracy involving Hillary, BO, Loretta Lynch, Andrew Mccabe, James Comey, Robert Mueller, just to name those at the top, to destroy Trump. Hillary made it known that she wanted Trump to run against. They had a willing press who made that happen, and as was predicted by many (way out on a limb there BTW) the press turned on him. No doubt, they were certain that with the full force of the FBI doing a secret investigation on him, they could certainly find something damaging to bring him down with. Yet somehow, after 2 years of investigation of Trump, they have not turned up an unpaid parking ticket. I doubt there are many in Congress who could fair as well. He may well be the most intensely scrutinized POTUS in history, and his detractors have come up empty handed. It's pretty incredible if you think about it.

Yep. Coup attempt?
Sedition??
Treason???
All of the above????
Hillary made it known that she wanted Trump to run against.
Nope. DJT was then, and continues to be now, her biggest nightmare. She may have said the above (aided and abetted by her "willing press"), but she certainly didn't mean it.
BREAKING: DOJ will make the 6 months of missing texts that were eventually located by IG between Strzok and Page available to Congress sometime tonight or tomorrow, according to sources...developing
No, I'm fairly convinced that she was convinced that anyone who was as successful as he was, had to be dirty. After all, it's the pathway to success that she knows. I believe that she was convinced that with Trump on the ballot, all she had to do was let the FBI find the dirt on him, and the press would crucify him. Good plan, if he was dirty.
....and as was predicted by many (way out on a limb there BTW) the press turned on him.
Yeah, that was a pretty easy call. I knew it was low hanging fruit when I predicted it.
Hint to those who want to appear wise. Predict very predictable things, mostly, then your "Elvis" predictions, when they come true, seem to be backed up by a history of getting it right. Really boosts the credibility. Simply predicting the normal weekly stock market rise & fall works.
Nope. DJT was then, and continues to be now, her biggest nightmare. She may have said the above (aided and abetted by her "willing press"), but she certainly didn't mean it.
Respectfully disagree. She not only said so before the Primaries, it was the Common Wisdom of the press that Donald was the easy one to beat because he was so Not Presidential.
The thing that messed them all up, was that We, the People, didn't want another pretty face with dignity and Respect for the Opposition. We were, and Are, tired of Republicans saying stuff for years then not following through because it's politically difficult. Like repealing Obamacare.
So we went for the Maverick. The disrespectful petty tantrum guy. He spoke to a lot of people. I didn't like him, but I loved how angry he made the professional liars and con men. Politicians and Media alike.
And You Just Can Not underplay how much the Media's role had in Trump Winning the primaries, and then the election. Donald would twit his fellow candidates, perhaps with a penis joke, and every channel was 24/7 penis jokes. ( small hands )
And even worse/better, they would only ever talk to the other 15 people, white, black, latino, female, about Donald's twit.
"I'm here to announce my policy for drug reform!" says the Politician.
"Never mind that crap, what about Trump's Twit about you?" says the reporters.
"My plan will end the debt and provide free prescription drugs..." the politician would try and continue.
"The Twit! The Twit! Do you have a larger penis than Trump? Can we see pictures?"
It was the most entertaining, and appalling, circus for decades.
She not only said so before the Primaries, it was the Common Wisdom of the press that Donald was the easy one to beat because he was so Not Presidential.
With the utmost respect: I don't believe a single thing she's ever said (well, except when she shrieked "We're all gonna hang from nooses!" on election night), and the MSM has proven to be - over and over and over again - Fake News; they say what they're ordered to say by the shadowy men behind the curtain.
Hillary made it known that she wanted Trump to run against.
Respectfully disagree. She not only said so before the Primaries, it was the Common Wisdom of the press that Donald was the easy one to beat because he was so Not Presidential.

Boom: Treasury Kills 305 Regulations, IRS hammered By Paul Bedard - April 24, 2018
Acting on President Trump’s demand that his cabinet secretaries gut 0bama-era federal regulations, the Treasury Department on Tuesday said it has cut over 300 standing and proposed rules with a focus on the Internal Revenue Service.
In a new 20-page report, Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin highlighted the elimination of 305 regulations, including those proposed, and the wiping away of 298 IRS “deadwood” rules.
“Reducing unnecessary burdens will lead to increased economic growth, greater job creation, and a fundamentally stronger economy for our country,” said Mnuchin. “Regulatory reform is a key component of the president’s plan to make American businesses more competitive and create opportunities for hard-working Americans,” he added.
In its effort to comply with Trump’s orders, including killing two old regulations for every new one imposed, Treasury officials put a spotlight on the IRS where several major rules, many pushed by the 0bama administration, have been killed.
PS: Can y'all provide me a citation or two to analyze?
Well, Amy Chozick's new book, the quotes so far, for Hillary saying so. I agree you can't trust Hillary to tell the truth about if it's night time. But it seems like something the Campaign would embrace before Trump got "popular".
As for the Media saying so... whew. Lots of comment on CNN & repeated on talk radio.
That aspect could well be amplified by the echo chamber of the talk shows, but I remember the offhand comments from all the Democrat shills that they wanted to run against Trump, because they thought he'd be an easy win.
Please don't ask me to watch hours of lies and ego to get to a few sound bites.
That attitude changed, predictably when Donald started getting huge crowds at rallys, and the Obama/Clinton Campaign started sending folk to assault Trump supporters.
The "we wanted to run against Trump because he's going to lose" pundits kept it up, a bit quieter, all the way up to the election on the Sunday morning political shows. But mostly it was before the Primaries.
As you say, YMMV, and this is a minor opinion difference in a world of Putin's nuclear torpedo robots.
Well, Amy Chozick's new book, the quotes so far, for Hillary saying so.
I'm not familiar w/Amy Chozick, or the book. I'll do some digging.
I agree you can't trust Hillary to tell the truth about if it's night time.
She's a career politician (among other...things...). As such, she's programmed to lie. Used car salesman on steroids.
But it seems like something the Campaign would embrace before Trump got "popular".
Trump was "popular" the moment he announced. The mainstream media did their best, however, to hide this reality.
As for the Media saying so... whew. Lots of comment on CNN...
CNN has less credibility than Snopes.
...& repeated on talk radio.
Without citations it's tough to debate this one. Rush Limbaugh? Mark Levin? Glenn Beck? Even these guys aren't "big enough" not to be bought and paid for by the cabal when necessary, especially if they fly too close to the sun, truthfully speaking.
That aspect could well be amplified by the echo chamber of the talk shows, but I remember the offhand comments from all the Democrat shills that they wanted to run against Trump, because they thought he'd be an easy win.
Opinion: That may be what they said, but that's not what they thought. DJT was NOT a career politician, IS a Patriot (said as much during the campaign, and has proven this - repeatedly - since his election), and has enough of his OWN (vs. taxpayer-provided, lobbyist-provided and foundation-laundered and provided) money that he couldn't be bought, all of which meant (and continues to mean) trouble to the cabal.
I've read that he was being spied on as early as 2012. Why would this be if he was such an easy mark?
Please don't ask me to watch hours of lies and ego to get to a few sound bites.
Nah, won't ask you to do that.
However, if in your news travels you should run across something apropos to this topic, please post it up.
That attitude changed, predictably when Donald started getting huge crowds at rallys, and the 0bama/Clinton Campaign started sending folk to assault Trump supporters.
I repeat: In spite of what the media machine told y'all DJT was popular right out of the gate, and became even more so as more and more Americans saw through the MSM lies and got 'woked.
The "we wanted to run against Trump because he's going to lose" pundits kept it up, a bit quieter, all the way up to the election on the Sunday morning political shows. But mostly it was before the Primaries.
Yeah, I know they did; I followed it all very closely.
BTW, the Sunday morning political shows? Who owns them? Who REALLY owns them?
As you say, YMMV, and this is a minor opinion difference...
It’s Fun to Watch The Liberals’ and Never Trumpers’ Coup Dreams Die Kurt Schlichter, April 23, 2018
[snip]
You liberals and your Fredocon lackeys need to get this through your heads. You are not purging this guy. He’s purging you. Just look at James Comey, who has gone from Tower of Integrity to Looming Doofus. The winding trail from the bottom of that famous escalator to right here and now is littered with the twitching bodies of those who thought they could take on The Donald and win.
And it’s a delight to watch you hacks go nuts about it.
Warning: When Trump denuclearizes North Korea and gets a peace treaty signed, everybody put on ponchos because the haters’ heads are going to explode. In the words of the late, great Marine R. Lee Ermey, it’s going to look like a “modern art masterpiece.”
[snip]
This whole campaign to undo the 2016 election is a scam and a fraud and we all know it, but unlike the principled Decorumcons who refuse to see the truth of the putrid corruption within their beloved Beltway, Donald Trump (and those of us who support him) feel absolutely no obligation to go along with the charade that this isn’t a corrupt, slow-walking coup pushed by a disgruntled establishment. Our “system” is not endangered by us calling out the lies, or by the President using his power to prevent and/or correct manifest injustices. The danger is the corruption.
Remember that hilarious video that starts with John Oliver telling Trump to "do it!" And continues in the montage ending with the election?
our differences of opinion on this subject seem to be the moments they went from publicly wanting Donald to run & lose, to lying about wanting Donald to run & lose, and lying to themselves about wanting Donald to run & lose.
That last part didn't stop even after election day.
>>>>That attitude changed, predictably when Donald started getting huge crowds at rallys,
I was amazed at the lengths the media went to to create the illusion of crowds being "small" at Trump gatherings.
There were several times that they televised a photo that would lead a viewer to believe a crowd of about 100 was present. . . . when in fact, there were tens of thousands of people present. That should have been a clue to some folks that there was a lot more meat to the Trump campaign than the media was attempting to get the world to buy into.
This went on well into election eve . . . when the New York Times continued to assure me (I kept a series of screenshots of their "dashboard" throughout the evening) that Hillary was 97%+ assured of winning and that it was a "mathematical impossibility" for Trump to win.
I don't believe much of what I hear in the news . . . .
President Trump and Kanye West Fold The Political Space-Time Continuum – The Internets Go Bananas CTH, April 25, 2018
Andrew Breitbart famously said: “Politics is downstream from pop culture." Boy, do I wish Andrew were alive today to see President Trump, Kanye West and even Kim Kardashian-West fold the political universe onto itself and create a new MAGA reality.
Even the mere possibility of removing the currency and value within identity politics is driving the far-left absolutely bananas. The activist ‘democrats’ are beyond apoplectic. This Winning is funny stuff.
It’s always incredible to watch a cultural shift happen in real time. I respect those willing to take the lead breaking with convention. That takes guts... though there’s a better word for it: [Balls]
It’s so predictable. Every time a black person professes something sounding vaguely conservative, they’re vilified by the left.
They are called vile, racist names including “Uncle Tom” or other such pejoratives. The left cannot stand to allow conservative black voices to be heard, but when those voices also belong to young, popular black people, watch out!
I’ve listened to Candace Owens. She’s blessed with eloquence and intelligence. The fact that she’s also attractive triggers the sirens of the leftist thought police. She’s been getting the ‘treatment.’ When Kanye West professed some admiration for her, he too was attacked.
But don’t listen to me, a conservative white man.
Listen to what this young man has to say about it:
It’s time for black people to leave the Democrat’s ‘politically correct’ plantation.
-- Ben Garrison
quote:
Democrats are on the verge of losing African-American votes, and that would be game-over for the party. You can see the panic in their fake news attacks on me. But especially watch how they IGNORE Kanye West's IDEAS in favor of attacking PERSONALITIES. #DeathRattle
