Congressional staffers boo Trump at unity baseball game
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

So much for defanging the poisonous debate in Washington.

Dozens of congressional staffers erupted into boos, jeers and even vulgar gesticulations Thursday when President Trump appeared in a video at the Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park.

Mr. Trump delivered a message of unity, but some fans in the stands weren’t having any of it.

One man shouted an expletive at the video screen as Mr. Trump was telling the fans: “We are showing the world we will not be intimidated by threats.”

The episode marred what had been a night celebrating those wounded in Wednesday’s murderous attack on GOP players practicing for the game.

“It’s time to start punching people.”

Hate to say it, but you are right. It is time to start showing up to the lefts rallies, separating a few from the pack and leaving them laying in their own blood and guts. The reason the left are getting away with this is because we practice turning the other cheek. They just slap that one too.

There is only one way to win this. Take what they throw at us and throw it right back in their faces, then double it. A commie only understands strength which is why Reagan was great for America. The left know this and are not letting Trump get up and get some traction.

Of all the stories this one has my blood boiling. Bunch of (@#*$#( lowlife punks. How dare they scream curse words and boo their BOSS and in the context of why POTUS was there too. He wasn’t there to push a policy, but due to an assassination attempt on his party’s members. This was utterly the most disgusting story so far, and these assholes need to be removed ASAP. They sound dangerous.

It’s getting to be time for more than that, my friend. Things are taking an exceedingly nasty turn. Showing no signs of improving. It’s on, I think.

I would imagine there were Republicans amongst the jeerers too. the Swamp is broad and deep:

15 Jun: Forbes: Kenneth Rapoza: What The Russia Sanctions Upgrade Means For Trump And Ukraine
President Donald Trump has lost his argument for a Russia reset. With Ukraine and U.S. oil companies at least partially in mind, a new bill passed by an overwhelming 97 to 2 majority in the Senate on Wednesday punishes Russian oil and gas firms even more than the current sanctions regime. The bill goes to the House and will likely pass there as well. Russia has no friends on Capitol Hill...

Once it clears the House, it forces Trump to go against the will of both houses of congress to veto the legislation in favor of Russia...

The latest upgrade reveals a colossal chasm between Republicans and the President...

Investors saw the move as largely part of a political divide between anti-Russian Senate politicians like John McCain and the president’s wish for detente...The Washington foreign policy establishment has a very different set of ideas about Russia than the president...

We are not a democracy.We are a representative Republic.

The Founders made their views on Democracy clear, as is evidenced by this quote from John Adams.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams

This constant talk of "Democracy" from the fake news imbecile propagandists and communist politicians is nauseating.

The march towards communism begins with democracy, and the example of Venezuela will surely be repeated here in the USA unless steps are taken to disenfranchise the parasite class.

Will Trump be the beginning of the turning of the tide or a footnote?

Even Hitler was a able to make a rational case for the danger of democracy, universal suffrage, and its ultimate degeneration into Bolshevism.

“...democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people’s true values. And this also serves to explain how it is that people with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals...are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers.”

“Democracy is the canal through which bolshevism lets its poisons flow into the separate countries and lets work there long enough for these infections to lead to a crippling of intelligence and of the force of resistance.”

Congressional echo chamber braying amongst themselves. Congress is another hermit kingdom.

That is because in the minds of liberals, we have NO right to even exist.


Leftists have had great success teaching liberals to think like low level Nazi party members. They literally think we need to be exterminated, starting with Trump. This ugliness can’t get ANY worse without innocent conservatives dying. Libs believe #conservativelivesdon’tmatter

This is VA, where free speech has been virtually banned, and Republican candidates are like ground hogs afraid of their own shadows.

Will American’s eventually push back against this or will some of us get Stockholm Syndrome and start supporting these loons at the box office like France, UK, and Germany is doing with their version of terrorism.

“Considering the makeup of Congressional staffers, they probably serve on both sides of the aisle$

In theory, the crowd was going wild when Rats scored during the game. Republicans not so much. Maybe they gave away tickets to the less fortunate DC crowd whom votes 92 to 8 on election day.
