But the Blues insist on cloaking their economic opportunism in moral preening.
The left calls this “Doing well by doing good.”
It is very easy to rationalize anything as “doing good” when it benefits you, personally.
All the most evil men in recent history claimed they were “doing good” Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Poi, etc.
“All the most evil men in recent history claimed they were “doing good” Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Poi, etc.”
Absolutely. Because these corrupt power-seekers are all some variant of a Sociopath.
F. K. Hayek and others have written about the truism that in “democratic” politics, it’s the scum of gene pool that end up running things. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We’ve seen this in high relief in Western Europe for decades.
Now it’s here. The scale both of the corruption and arrogance from the top people in federal agencies was breathtaking throughout the Obama’s administration. As has been, thank God, that of their incompetence.
Of course they KNEW Clinton would win. From their vantage she was holding on to every card in the deck. Media, criminal and counterintelligence investigations, breaking laws and regulations recklessly and ceaselessly. A vast web of pay-to-play alliance spanning the globe. Much larger campaign war chest (and we’ll likely never know how much was diverted from government slush funds and other taxpayer sources.
Trump has transacted billions of dollars across decades. Countless deals, ventures, contracts, relationships.
There was no way they wouldn’t find something. They engineered the bogus counterintelligence investigation complete with FISA surveillance, spying and entrapment attempts, to ensure enough dirt could be exposed and (they hoped) indictments would fly before the election.
When that didn’t work, SIXTEEN career DOJ prosecutors led by a heavily conflicted former FBI Director were put on the case. With all that firepower, they’ve still come up empty. This was all supposed to go away.
Instead, everything Mueller’s team “uncovered” or gleaned from the earlier FBI investigation, all of his prosecutorial endeavors are going to be thrown out as unconstitutional retroactive to their appointments. Exposing him, and many others, to malicious prosecution, abuse of power, and a host of other charges.
Cannot believe the time we’re living in. God save our VERY Stable Genius POTUS. Nobody else could have pulled this off. Love how he seems to gain strength and resolve from all the Enemy’s machinations to eviscerate and bring him down!
