Democrats: Be Careful What You Wish For
Powerline ^ | August 23, 2018 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 08/24/2018 7:57:21 AM PDT by yoe

It is a sign of the times: the Democrats are delirious at the prospect of impeaching President Trump–not because he had an adulterous dalliance with a porn performer, which would have been considered a bad thing in the pre-Bill Clinton era, but rather because his payoff to her ostensibly constituted a campaign finance violation. For which no one is punished, ever, except Dinesh D’Souza.

The Democrats have acted in a seditious enough manner so now we who defend this nation can take the action against them that is sorely needed. We are sharpening our swords.

Didn’t Auntie Maxie promise that Pence would be dealt with after they get rid of Trump?

“Mike Pence will be president. We will have the guy who won’t eat dinner alone with a woman other than his wife.”

Billy Graham wouldn’t be alone with a female in a room or elevator. Very prudent IMO.

I have no fear of any Democrat....for they will be politically destroyed in the upcoming Mid-Term election cycle. The handwriting is clearly on the wall for all to see. The Democrat Party and Media have their blinders on, as they destroy themselves internally with every passing day!!!

Trump has massive attended political rallys everywhere in the USA. Obama is hiding on Martha’s Vineyard and Hillary Clinton hides while hoping her nutcase lawyer buddy, Lanny Davis will pull off a miracle & somehow make DJT go away. Notice that neither Obama, nor Clinton, nor Warren, nor, Sanders, nor Booker, etc. (Where is the leader of the Democrat Party?) hold any mass political rallies. Why? No one will attend. Case closed!!!

This will create huge challenges to left wing photoshop users. But I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

The Rats promised to impeach Trump before he even took office. For them impeachment isn’t about crimes, it’s about reversing an election loss. They left doesn’t want elections unless they are guaranteed the win.

When that promise was followed with how they would get Pence afterwards, it was made abundantly clear they intended engineer a coup, nothing less.

Mueller is going to destroy one innocent person after another around Trump until this reaches a boiling point.

If they succeed in this coup it will be the opening salvo in the new civil war. All bets off. America as we (used to) know it will be gone forever. It isn’t coming back. My opinion is that they have already reached that point, it’s just that the actual shooting hasn’t started.

The left is never going to let this country have free elections ever again.

I was at the 1980 Republican National Convention, and the very second I heard Reagan announce Bush as his running mate, I knew that whatever Reagan accomplished as president would be tossed if Bush were to succeed him--and it happened.

Pence has a more conservative track record than Bush had, but if Trump is forced out, Pence will likely be a weakling in the tradition of Gerald Ford.

Do all these Marxist RAT goons, RINO Elites, and MSM think millions of Americans and more being added each hour will forgive and forget their tactics and lies against Donald Trump, the candidate, and now President Trump and all those who voted for him? They’ve provided a blueprint on how to treat them and their candidates going forward.

There will be no forgiving and forgetting would be my best guess, what’s yours? Kind of like “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” ya think?

https://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/08/24/compromised-author-details-comey-mueller-relationship-that-earned-comey-36-million-one-year/

24 Aug 2018

During Thursday’s “Hannity” on Fox News Channel the author of the Government Accountability Institute’s “Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption” discussed his new book that details how former FBI Director James Comey and special counsel Robert Mueller both “made millions” by selling out insider expertise to the highest bidder.

In the Fox News appearance, Seamus Bruner describes how Comey worked at Lockheed Martin by 2009 was given “at least 160,000 stocks and stock options,” which he said was worth “upwards of $30 million” on top of making $6 million in one year.

Bruner added that due to his relationship with Mueller and the high amount of value for the government contracts with Lockheed Martin, it “strains credulity” to think Mueller did not sign off on the contracts.

The book also lays out how Mueller went on to cash in when Comey took over the FBI, and he opened a consulting firm, making $3.5 million a year giving speeches and representing clients he had previously enriched.

Pence is to Trump, as Bush was to Reagan. An establishment shill there to keep the outsider in check.

In the first 2 weeks of the Trump Presidency Pence stabbed us in the back and struck a blow for the establishment.
On Meet the Press he claimed Flynn lied about discussing sanctions with the Russian ambassador. Flynn was fired and we got McMaster who immediately did a 180 on Trump’s foreign policy as stated in the election.

It was right back to regime change in Syria, and cold war 2.0 with Russia.

In fact, the Russian ambassador asked Flynn about sanctions and Flynn said he could not discuss that. It would have to be a topic for another time. The “lie” is the farce that saying “I cannot discuss that with you” is “discussing” is.

Pure sophistry. I do not trust Pence as far as I can throw him. And for all the people swooning over Pence, explain his silence in the face of all the attacks on Trump. Last I checked a veep was the attack dog. Hell, Biden was far more loyal to Obama and defensive of him.

And how about how Comey worked at HSBC, the biggest dope bank on the planet? Hell, it was literally formed as a bank to service the drug trade. The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank was created to finance and serve the opium trade the Brits unleashed on China.

If Trump is removed from office by impeachment or from being hounded to resignation by the media and members of his own party, Mike Pence won’t even have his hand off the Bible from taking the oath of office as POTUS before the Democrats and the media jackals will be targeting him with the same vitriol they poured on Trump. This whole business is not about Trump so much as nullifying the 2016 election where the deplorables dared to reject the liberals anointed one Hillary.

I happened to have loved the brief Presidency of Gerald Ford.

Solely through an accident of history, a man of common sense became President. Few will remember the outstanding thing he did: he vetoed more bills that came before his desk than any other President.

As a small government Republican in the old tradition, I was thrilled. We didn't need an aspirational man, nor an ambitious man. We needed just what he provided. His pardoning of Nixon caused him to lose reelection as well as SNL Alinsky tactic of making fun of his falling down (Ford being a superb athlete didn't matter to them).

And for appointing Alan Greenspan who led the country through steady financial policing of the money supply until later on. A good man who sunk in the swamp.

I particularly loved the WIN (Whip Inflation Now) campaign. The steel mill I worked in came to a screeching halt, almost overnight. So did my paycheck. Order cancellations aplenty. Let's all stop buying stuff. What a freaking retard Ford was.

At least it forced me to retrain.

Ford did a few good things like pardoning President Nixon, but his failure to go to the mat to save South Vietnam, his support for giving away the Panama Canal, his support for detente with the Soviet Union and snub of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, his silly WIN button campaign, his appointment of Nelson Rockefeller, the bête noire of all conservatives, as VP, and his wife's support for the Equal Rights Amendment left me less than enthused.

In 1975-1976, I worked my heart out for Ronald Reagan and attended the Republican National Convention in Kansas City to cheer him on. In the fall, I put my energies into electing "B-1 Bob" Dornan to Congress.

Didn't the Original First Rapist make several similar payoffs (that we know about) while in office?
Is it too late to impeach him?

If Trump is guilty of sexual improprieties while in office, can't he just tap into the Congressional sex fun payoff fund? It's all taxpayer money. Why should presidents be disqualified?

Serious question :
Who has the authority and power to determine and reveal who all the congressional perverts are who have availed themselves of the "payoff" fund?

The American People HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS, YOU KNOW...
