Two Washingtons--A sobering contrast on display last night.
4/29/2018 | Nikos1121

Posted on 04/29/2018 5:49:43 AM PDT by nikos1121

Good Morning, Dear Friends,

I couldn't help but think about all the great rallies we sat through together two years, yes two years, ago. Last night, again was a master piece, but this time the coverage allowed us to experience the enthusiasm of the crowd. Man, the place was jumping, wasn’t’ it?

Promise only what you can deliver, then deliver more than you promise

Trump has kept more than his promises. We all know this. He teaches us, he teaches the world. The current media are like children, and maybe unteachable.

After the rally I watched the tail end of the Washington Press Corp Dinner. No wonder Trump didn't attend. Why should he ever attend? You have no Walter Cronkite's there, no David Brinkleys, etc etc. I doubt if Trump has respect for any of them. Just a collection of Trump haters.

Did everyone see that they invited "The Porn Star's attorney there, who tried to photobomb every interview going on, before the dinner, and that The Punk, David Hogg? What are they doing there, (rhetorical question).

I never realized how truly wimpy Paul Ryan is until he appeared on the screen with his pathetic monologue. He could have been the greatest Speaker, had he been more like Newt was to Reagan.

And then you have John "Bed Hair" Kasich there, anxious for another free Monk Fish meal. He wouldn't shut up.

Why would Trump want to be in the same room with these people? I wouldn't want to be in the same room with these people

Why would Trump ever, and I mean ever want to give an ounce of respect or dignify their obvious agenda, ie to subvert everything he does and is trying to do for us?Especially when the week before he was with and speaking to the people in the world who really matter?

No, Trump was with his people last night. He chose to hang with us than with them.

He must have known that he was throwing his staff to the wolves, and I would think that they will be rewarded in praise for putting up with the slings and arrows of filth.

Sarah Sanders almost brought to tears.

I watched her closely. I cringed and I felt for her, but she did not come almost to tears. To the contrary she was simply not amused, because what she listened to was a prime example of the thin line between humor and hate.

You could hear it in the scattered, and I mean scattered as in one or two people applause, their clapping reflecting the hate in their hearts for this grand lady.

No Sarah did not come almost to tears. She looked annoyed, like when you're 3 1/2 years old and your Mom comes in to the kitchen she just cleaned and you have all the salt and sugar and milk on the floor and you're playing in it.

She realizes who's she's dealing with, so does Kelli Anne, (BTW her husband is like "them"? How does it feel knowing your vote is being canceled by the person you live with?)

This past week opened the eyes of many people, who have come forth, so others will follow, acknowledging that our lives are getting better, and quickly with Trump as president.

Did everyone catch Trump's line last night about The USA having almost twice the GDP of the country second to us? Does that begin to tell you why our planet needs leadership, ie adults in the room.

Leading from behind, we all knew was a slogan that depicts inexperience, lack of courage, and wishy washing thinking. A motto that tells you, “the guy in charge hasn’t a clue about the people he’s supposed to be leading.

Sadly, I don't associate with some people, including some family, with whom I enjoyed talking politics with in the past. Not anymore. As soon as they bash Trump, I'm out of here.

The latest was when I met up with a close friend of mine. She's black, a smart business lady, whom I know to be caught up in that liberal/democrat dogma that was handed down to her.

We always avoid talking about those issues and attitudes that we differ on, esp Trump, but the other night I asked her:”So, what did you think about the Cosby verdict?"

She answered as if I had elicited her plantar reflex:"Well, he's not much worse than that friend of yours," (Referring of course to my/our president.) My Friends, I could feel the tension inside me light up within a nanosecond, and I realized that I had to just politely walk away, which I did, and I left.

I may, like Kanye West, have lost a friend and in time others, but right now our president needs our support. We need to finish it in November, and sweep clean the RINOs and liberals, and to demand the end to the filibuster rules, and to finally get us back on the track we fell off after Reagan.

I wake up this morning and I'm reading that North Korea wants to normalize relations with Japan. Say what? People want to be free, and to enjoy the fruits and the pursuits of freedom, especially the young.

In Washington DC last night we saw a spectacle of hate. In Washington, Michigan we saw a spectacle of true love and accomplishment, strength and competence.

Trump to me is like that moment you first realize how big your father is as you reach up to cup your little hand in his. He's the man that makes me sleep confidently at night. God Bless President Trump, and God Bless Our Country.

For those who have the stomach to watch “the other Washington”.

IMO, their disgusting antics are turning the middle away from themselves and more towards Trump.

One week before the election I visited my brother and sister in Wisconsin. They both hated Trump. When they started bashing him I quietly left the room.

I’m so thankful I didn’t argue with my brother. This was the last time I saw my brother before he died 4 months later.

Been in that position with some of my kids. One won’t speak to us - and that was BEFORE the election. Wife and I are having a discussion about treating Liberals. I say confront them (I thought you were smarter than that); she says walk away (ignore them). Ongoing.

Just watched it. Stupid sexual innuendo, crass ‘jokes’ about abortion and even the Southwest Airlines engine tragedy. It was actually sad.

Nice post....but...

I wake up this morning and I'm reading that North Korea wants to normalize relations with Japan.

Rocket man is running low on money and booze, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. A tiger does not change it's strips. He will do and say anything to stay in power.

People want to be free, and to enjoy the fruits and the pursuits of freedom, especially the young.

As long as that fat little bastard is in charge the people of NK will never see those fruits.

I have two kin like that.

One is my aunt who used to be a typical, W Texas Yellow Dog Dem.

Hussein and HRC turned her into rabid liberal the last 3 years.

Thank you, nikos, for the ping to an excellent post.

I feel like people are being strongly divided. Not unlike Bush’s comment years ago, “You’re either with us or you’re with the enemy.” The left is vile, and we can only hope and pray that there is enough decency left in enough people that something starts to stir their collective conscience.

I know exactly what you mean when describing your friend’s very cutting response to your Cosby question. Why do they feel the need to attack Trump because Cosby is a rapist? I would go from calm to livid as well. I have an anti-Trump son. We rarely talk politics. I feel like I don’t even know him any more.

Thanks, again, for the post. There’s something about this president that draws only two positions....hatred beyond belief, or fierce love and loyalty.

Leading from behind

That, of course, is not leading at all. By definition, if you are behind, you are following.

That such nonsensical drivel was actually lauded when Obama spoke it says all we need to know about the topsy-turvy world the Left inhabits and wants to impose on the rest of us. In their world, up is down, right is wrong, good is bad, mean is funny, statists are better than individualists, etc.

I do not associate with liberals since they are just too dumb to understand the basics of common sense, however when I do hear a liberal talk I do correct them with facts.

Go to the oldest named Washington (Connecticut) and you’ll see Americans. It is a small town and people are down to earth.

I have realized that I simply do not enjoy the company of relatives, close and far outish, who have not changed a bit over the many years I have known them. These days they blame Pres Trump for anything and everything that they can be aggrieved about. Healthcare for ailments that existed prior to his presidency. Financial problems due to their lifelong habits of overspending. On and on. Just democrats wanting to shove off their own shortcomings to Republicans in general and Trump in particular. They will never change so best to avoid confrontations. IMO.
