Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Robert Mueller has a passion for ham. – The Special Counsel’s office nabbed itself another ham sandwich in the dark of night, arresting former Trump adviser (prior to the 2016 election campaign) Roger Stone with CNN’s cameras conveniently present for the festivities. Funny how that works, huh?
The 66 year-old Stone, who is one of the most recognizable people in America at this point and not any sort of flight risk at all, was arrested at his home as FBI agents pounded on his door shouting “FBI! Open the door!” as they would if they were playing Elliot Ness in a Hollywood-produced film. Stone, after opening the door, was naturally taken away in handcuffs.
The arrest of Stone on a variety of process crimes having nothing to do with any “collusion” with anyone from Russia comes after 20 months of a Mueller-led rectal exam into every facet of his life. The obviously-coordinated media event also conveniently comes in the wake of recent releases of transcripts of the congressional testimonies of a series of FBI/DOJ anti-Trump cabal participants like Lisa Page and James Baker which contained revelations of all sorts of violations of law and process committed as part of the efforts to get Trump during 2016 and 2017. You know, actual news that CNN couldn’t be bothered to report.
Timing is everything if you’re a Special Counsel.
Stone was charged with a series of terrible-sounding process crimes like “obstruction of justice” (as if this Mueller and his band of Clinton/Obama shills were engaged in any sort of pursuit of actual “justice”), “witness tampering” and “lying to congress”, all of which sound great when trumpeted by the news-fakers at CNN. But God help him if he ever screwed up on a tax return, because at the end of the day all these other charges will almost certainly fall away and that is what he’ll end up going to jail for.
Just another day in the pursuit of “justice” by the American Gestapo.
And now for something completely different…: Here’s Irish Bob O’Rourke in a Sheep Suit. No, really, I’m not making this up…
Embedded video
Jim Hanson ✔ @Uncle_Jimbo #Beto2020 used to play in a punk band dressed like a sheep
That is pathetic and funny BUT The real disgrace is how much they sucked
Playing the Ramones that badly should be a crime
2,307 7:56 AM - Jan 24, 2019 2,133 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Conservatives like Jim Hanson making fun of Irish Bob over this video are just whistling past the graveyard. Democrat voters eat this kind of stuff up. In their minds, O’Rourke in a onesie just makes him cool and hip and they’re all out there on Amazon this morning trying to figure out if they can buy one for themselves. And that sheep mask will be all the rage at Millennial Halloween parties this October.
At the end of the day, the release of this little snip of video will get Irish Bob another 5 percent in the Democrat 2020 nomination horse race polls.
He’s a shoe-in, folks. Just get used to it: Beto-In-A-Sheep-Suit 2020!!!!
Actually, Mitch, you’re wrong. – The news-fakers at The Hill report this morning that GOP senators “Read the Riot Act” to Vice President Mike Pence at a closed-door luncheon yesterday. Led by Mitch McConnell, this group of half a dozen or so establishment unreliables informed the Veep that government shutdowns are “bad strategy”, with McConnell reminding Pence of his “favorite country saying” which is “there is no education in the second kick of a mule.”
Whatever that means.
We hear this nonsense all the time from McConnell and the GOP Squish lobby in the Senate and House. But every time we hear it, it is instructive to review the last time the GOP got blamed for a partial fake shutdown of the government.
That took place in October, 2013, when Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Utah Sen. Mike Lee – two actual, real conservative Republicans – led filibusters of a horrible budget bill to force a shutdown that lasted from October 1 through October 17 before they finally relented and agreed to a compromise.
As we see happening today, Democrats and their coordinating agents in the fake news media reacted to that action by Cruz and Lee with glee, assuring the public that Republicans would pay dearly at the ballot box when the 2014 mid-term congressional elections came around. Because, that is what D.C. logic told them would happen, right? Right.
But what actually did happen in the 2014 mid-term elections? Why, the GOP base turned out in droves, and Republicans swept to huge gains in both the House and Senate. In fact, this was the election in which Republicans gained control of the Senate for the first time since 2006, the election that put Cocaine Mitch into the Majority Leader’s role he holds today.
One would think McConnell might actually remember such a red-letter day in his career.
I have been involved in and written about politics for almost 40 years now, and it never ceases to amaze me how so many Republicans are simply incapable of recognizing the single most important lesson the great Ronald Wilson Reagan taught them: Republicans will always be rewarded by voters when they stand on principle and keep their promises, and will always be punished by them when they fail to do so.
In this government shutdown, President Donald Trump is standing on principle, and he will be rewarded by the voters for doing so in 2020 so long as he does not captulate. Republicans who stand with him will also be rewarded. Republicans who do not stand with him will be punished.
It really is that simple.
That is all.

J. Edgar Hoover special. I hope that the agents had their “tommy guns” blazing in the air while they crashed the door and frog marched this heinous criminal to justice...
They were trying to humiliate and quite possibly kill Stone. They could have easily asked his lawyer just to have him turn himself in. The charges are that he TRIED to get stolen emails. Not that he possessed tlstolen goods, nope, just that he tried to get them. Sadly, compared to what came out about the wire tapping of Trump, illegal use of the NSA database by fusion GPS, the lies to Congress by multiple US officials, and the preposterous lies to the FISA courts, as well as whole cloth made up slander put forth by the FBI as ‘evidence’ you had to expect something from Mueller.
Smells like our socialist democrats learned a lot from Goebbels, Hitler, Stalin, and henchman.
btt
Brown shirts...
Soviet theater show trials
Yes. Because of the national implications with the "soft" coup.
Still, hard to compare it to the deliberate killing of 80 people by the FBI in the Waco standoff.
I’ve got two things to say about this. Roger Stone will go to Federal prison before he betrays the president. Trump has already gotten two pardons wrote up. Manafort and Roger Stone.
Democrats and their obedient media were gleeful, warning that Republicans would pay dearly at 2014 mid-terms.
(Yawn----lefty logic at its worst----snore).
What actually happened, the GOP base turned out in droves, Republicans swept to huge gains in both the House and Senate.....
Republicans had Senate control for the first time since 2006, putting Mitch McConnell into the Majority Leader’s role he holds today.
Everyone, including Stevie Wonder, can see this.
Why isn’t anyone/Fox calling out CNN’s collusion, here?
Some good points, but I dont think Stone tried to get stolen emails. He only tried to find out if they had them and when they would be leaked. Something reporters would do if Wiki leaks had Trumps emails.
Campaigning against Democrats is now a criminal act.
Mueller is parceling out his moves in order to prolong his witch hunt.
Now, Trump cannot fire his sorry ass or he would be accused of trying to cover up evidence by the hysterical jackals of the MSM and the democrat party.
And when this one dies down, Mueller will spring another trap for the same effect.
Again, this all goes back to the gift bequeathed to the nation by the vile, traitorous little Jeff Sessions.
It is not uncommon for media to accompany high profile raids or arrests. It also cuts into the arrested claiming brownshirt tactics.
Stone will be the ham sandwich that squeals.
Roger Stone is the ham sandwich that squeals. Watch.
What’s he gong to squeal about? It’s not like it is hard to “dig” up opo research on Clintoon. Hell, the stuff is just laying around all over the place.
“Shoe-in”? How about “shoo-in”?
So the corrupt as f-— Obamunist secrer police are still leaking partisan hit jobs and fake news.
America’s Communists Lawyer Union is silent about all of it
squeals about what?...all these charges are ‘process” crimes that occurred AFTER Mueller was appointed. Those e-mails , as long as you personally didnt steal them, were fair game. This is a political prosecution pure and simple. The swamp is pissed because Trump won...they cant get over it.
