Of Course You Know, This Means War
Thought Crimes; The Trump Diaries ^ | 02/03/17 | Chris Shugart

Bugs bunny war

Democrats are still coming to terms with losing. They were so convinced that Obama’s fundamental transformation of America was a resounding success. In their minds, it was a done deal. They haven’t yet accepted that their liberal pipe dream was nothing more than an illusive fantasy of their own making. It was never real.

Trump has enjoyed a bounty of early victories, only two weeks into his administration. It’s remarkable how he’s managed to move faster than Democrats can respond. By the time they rally their forces, Trump is promoting a new agenda item. A US Marines Major once told me that the most important component of a successful battle strategy is to deploy your forces faster, adjust your positions faster, and respond faster to the enemy’s tactics than they respond to yours. The goal is to get one step, two steps, three steps, and so on, ahead of the enemy’s actions. Eventually the enemy gets completely overwhelmed, unable to respond further.

On the other hand, no matter what gains the new administration may achieve, the Left never accepts defeat. For them it’s always a never ending war on America. And now their war advances to a new phase—aggressive resistance. Some of it is overt, such as the anti-Trump rioting, and open defiance of the law by local governments. Some of it is covert, such as leaks to the media and surreptitious non-compliance within various federal agencies. It will continue. And it will be destructive in intent if not in deed.

In spite of Trumps’ early victories, Democrat antics thus far are merely minor skirmishes in a bigger picture of what in effect is turning into a civil war. Real battles are brewing. Keep in mind that the Dems haven’t yet played their strongest card: the legal system. They’re skilled and experienced at manipulating the law to create or subvert any legislation that serves their agenda. They’re on a first name basis with every liberal judge in the country, all who will gladly make laws from their respective benches. And the Dems have plenty of funding to keep every liberal lawyer gainfully employed for as long as it takes to win.

Yet the real danger is not the Democrats or their legal machine. Their tactics are well known and predictable. What remains unknown is whether or not the GOP will stand together. Unfortunately they have a poor track record in this regard. Nevertheless, the math is simple. Stand together and the Republicans win. But if they regress to old habits, they’ll lose as they’ve done so many times before. It’s really that simple.

From Caesar, to Napoleon, to Patton ... this is how it works.

PS We certainly hope they can do better this time around - if they screw this one up, there will not be another time!

Last night, Steely Tom gave me my tagline, he'd commented on the state of the RATS, and it rang a bell... I'd heard similar words describing the natives when Krakatoa blew in 1883, and the Dutch painting The Scream is thought to be a description of the tsunami coming after the volcano turned the skies blood-red, but many people - probably tourists - sensed no danger.

Trump and Bannon have to move so hard and so fast, as they are, such as to force the RATS to just give up. We need to remind them that we can cross over in their '18 and '20 primaries and choose their candidates for them if they REALLY want war and utter destruction. This threat needs to be iterated every day.

That’s because there are far too many Democrats in R jerseys.

Some serious Cantorizing needs to happen.

[T]he Dems haven’t yet played their strongest card: the legal system.

You mean the legal system the Left has perverted? Well the true legal system beginning with the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended as the Supreme law of the Land against the feds, is certainly not the Left's strong suit which is why they either ignore or try to twist the Constitution.

"Sometime or sooner" the Right MUST prepare to put the Constitution FRONT AND CENTER in regards to the federal government which right now is the Left's Baby. But applying the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended would necessitate cutting the 70% to 80% unconstitutional portion of the $4 federal government gargantuan. By God's grace and mercy, it will happen and the Left, without valid legal recourse, can pound sand.

“...Dems haven’t yet played their strongest card: the legal system.”

Unreasonable, outrageous, unconstitutional legal decisions should be ignored by the Executive Branch. Congress should review these court decisions and, if deemed necessary, enact legislation to resolve the problem.

This note of clarification should not really detract from your analogy, of the “The Scream” evoking the kind of denial/shock/horror the democrats are wallowing in, but the painting mentioned and shown, very well I might add, is by Norwegian expressionist painter Edvard Munch, painted in 1893.

Some art historians interpret it to be a symbolic representation of the death of Munch’s mother of a cerebral hemorage; symbolic with melancholy and foreboding and overwhelming blood red skies. Perhaps this might also represent what our unhinged and insane Democrat “bretheren” are feeling today, now that the reality of their losses and collapse has now come home.

We need to give the RATS one final warning: knock it off or we destroy you completely, THIS MONTH.

They’re racing against time to stop our freedom ‘infection’ from reaching Europe and ending the Left for a century.

The sportsman in me says give them a fair, final warning, the enraged conservative says.... final solution, now.
