David Gregory: Trump Like ‘Old Man Yelling Get off His Lawn’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/06/2017 7:10:37 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On CNN this morning, David Gregory, speaking of President Trump’s tweeting—and specifically, those from this weekend criticizing the judge who blocked his executive order on immigration—said: “he sounds like an old man sitting on his porch yelling at somebody to get off his lawn.”

Added Gregory: “you’ve had in the first 18 days, successive weekends where he has completely derailed what his administration is trying to do with a kind of personal indulgence by attacking people personally, launching an attack on the separation of powers. But what it really comes down to is this obsession with himself, and I think that’s going to start to wear thin.”

He’s got that Kennedy mystique about him. All hair and no brains.

so in his mind you have to be an old man to tell someone to get off your lawn yo have worked on very hard!!!

Stereotyping much .

I told and will tell people off to get off my lawn if they think the can walk right across it. It is disrespectful , and I have tld my young kids that you always use the path or the driveway, but never just walk over their grass .

Exactly, find the right Liberal judge, and there are plenty of them, and you can tie up any executive action in the court system for months and weeks.

I liked the fact that Trump pointed out that any terrorist action that might happen would be the responsibility of the judge and the court. Yes, there are consequences for inaction.

It is actually much more like this, if CNN were actually truthful:
"...Now that you've unlawfully broken my front door, climbed the interor stairs, and also smashed my bedroom lock...GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

Is David Gregory that #fakejournalist who broke a D.C. gun law on national TV by trying to play “gotcha” with Wayne LaPierre? That David Gregory?

David Gregory needs to understand the winds have shifted, and there is a NEW scent in the air. Keep looking at the same old surveys that told us Hillary was going to win, will get you these news stories that are NOT TRUE. We might not want anyone on our lawn¡¡¡

Gregory's observation is misplaced.

It is we who voted for Trump who are yelling "get off my lawn!"

Trump is the person who is listening to us.

Trump Like ‘Old Man Yelling Get off His Lawn’

Ya, AND?

Like I have been manicuring my lawn by myself and no Mexicans, since 1969. I would yell also since I have done this my entire life and without ONE DAMN PENNY from the US, State, County, and City Governments all the time paying more than my fair share of the tax burden for all these decades. OF COURSE I WOULD YELL after all these decades of Governmental abuse for the RAT dreamed of utopian great society.

I kind like that analogy

Is this supposed to make liberals scornful of Trump defending borders?

Is this scorn coming from the “ borders are borders” crowd - when the borders are Crimea or Ukraine of course, and worth WW3

but not when they are US borders

When a la carte subscriptions are in place, the uptake for CNN and MSNBC will shrink substantially and advertisers will flee.


Thank you for posting this. They will not offer a la carte until people start canceling the bundles and telling the cable tv companies they will be back when they offer a la carte.

There bottom line has to be hit before they will move.

David Gregory is right. The simple fact is it’s our lawn, which is why we sound like it’s our lawn.

The fact that the Ctrl-Left welcomes illegals on our lawn does not give those illegals the right to be on our lawn or to take our tax dollars for their recreation. It’s our lawn. We may (some of us) be old men, but it’s still ours. It’s also our food, our tax dollars, and our country. The thugs have two choices: they can follow the law, or they can up their game of violence. It would be prudent for the terrorist left to think that one through . . . carefully.

‘Old Man Yelling Get off His Lawn’

Its more like someone is attempting to sell illegal drugs while standing on your lawn.
Or, attempting to rob you or murder you or rape your wife, or daughter, on your lawn.

They do not have a right on your lawn no matter.
I own my lawn you do not.
So, get off my lawn!

The lawn? That would be people crossing the 12 mile boundary out at sea.
