I Don't Need to 'Understand' Anyone Who Still Supports This President*
Esquire ^ | 6-8-2018 | Charles Pierce

Posted on 06/08/2018 7:23:14 PM PDT by tcrlaf

he New York Times had a story on Friday that should’ve brought shame and derision upon anyone who voted for the racist monster in the White House, and upon the racist monster that the other racist monster installed at the head of the Department of Justice. The United States government is now committing human rights atrocities within its own borders and against the most vulnerable people it can find. I don’t need to “understand,” much less take seriously, anyone who still supports this president* and his administration* because, if you do, you’ve taken the idea of America and run battery acid through its veins.

An American government escort handed over the 5-year-old child, identified on his travel documents as José, to the American woman whose family was entrusted with caring for him. He refused to take her hand. He did not cry. He was silent on the ride “home.” The first few nights, he cried himself to sleep. Then it turned into “just moaning and moaning,” said Janice, his foster mother. He recently slept through the night for the first time, though he still insists on tucking the family pictures under his pillow.

I am curious why you posted this? Why give any ounce of respectability to some rag that does nothing but publish anti trump nonsense. Its not like anyone on FR is going to agree or debate anything.

Dear Chucky,

Allow me to expand on my precious comment.

I neither need or want to understand you, either. So think that through for a bit.

You’re pushing for a war, Chucky. You refuse to accept the results of a legitimate election. You want it undone and you’ll use every means at your disposal to do so.

I, on the other hand, won’t stand idly by for very much longer while you try to do it.

Our side, the one you hate so much, has spent the last 8 years buying millions and millions of guns and hundreds of billions of rounds of ammunition.

Keep pushing, Chuck. Keep pushing.

L

It IS heartbreaking that little children like these are separated from their parents, but it is NOT President Trump’s fault! The parents knew they were breaking the law when they came here. I am furious, too -— furious that a parent would put their child in such a terrible situation!

Sorry Charlie, your level of ‘understanding’ doesn’t bolster or hinder me in any way. Your histrionics; however, strongly influence my conclusions regarding your ‘orientation’.

What’s with the asterisks? Like following President* and Administration*?

Is that supposed to mean “not MY President” or administration?

What a bunch of morons!

I seem to recall that liberals were not at all upset when Janet Reno sent that kid back to Cuba.

Truth and righteousness are such have add concepts for liberals to deal with. They are acquainted with neither.

These are the same people who are the first to complain about incivility. They have no credibility. I don’t value their feelings or opinions. End of story.

They hate Pres. Trump, they hate each & every one of us who voted for him and they are ready to kill to enforce their view.

Arm up and hit the range, “deplorables”.

How do you know how to react to what your enemy is saying and doing unless you KNOW what your enemy is saying and doing?

Opposition research has been a big part of FR since the beginning.

It’s simple: if you don’t want to know what the idiots on the left are prattling on about, don’t click on the thread.

Daily, they show us how much hatred they have for us. They’re so frustrated now because they can only go so far in expressing that hate. Imagine what hell they will unleash on us if/when they again have the reins of power in their hands. Hopefully, DJT will have dealt with them before he leaves office.

Does this guy not care about the democrat sponsored deep state trafficking children for satanic cults?

Heavens, what an implication! Of course he cares! When children like this are taken out of the pipeline and put into foster care those children will not be available for John Podesta and company to 'use' them. Think cheese pizza. Mr. Pierce is all about maintaining a smooth flowing pipeline! So of course he cares!

This whack-a-mole game is getting so predictable, because all who bitterly lash out against President Trump keep getting bitten by some deep, dark secret. It makes me wonder what’s in Charles Pierce’s closet.

To Charles Pierce:

You and your type have never had a need to understand ‘us’. As long as you were in power, that wasn’t necessary. In the last nine years, we saw how you folks were going to handle ‘us’ when you got your hands on the levers of power.

You pretended to be interested in dialogue, but only when we agreed with you, which was...never. So you were going to shove it down our throats. Gleefully, I might add.

When you had control, you changed the rules for nominating judges. When some of ‘us’ said that it might not be a good idea to do that and you should think hard before you do it, because once you were no longer in power, those very rules could be used against you, your response was a smirk. A quite predictable smirk that openly said “You better get some ice for that”.

But the shoe eventually did come to rest on the other foot. And the caterwauling and gnashing of teeth from the Left is both enjoyable and entirely predictable as they wail about how unfair it is that Trump is rubber stamping conservative candidates for the judiciary as fast as they can be brought to the floor.

You treated it the same way you have treated every single decision on every single thing you have touched since Franklin Roosevelt enacted The New Deal. You always think you have all the bases covered, that you are the most infallible and intelligent people in any room.

But those conceits are not your main problem, you on the Left.

Your main problem is that you have no mechanism or inclination to introspection. You live in liberal bubble houses, Leftist echo chambers populated with ‘information’ provided by ‘important’ people who think like you, and inhabit the arts, culture, and media. They tell you what you want to hear, and you think it is all true.

How could you be wrong?

So you never give it a second thought. It is revealing (beyond what you are capable of hearing or seeing in a meaningful way) to now hear the Left’s version of introspection after being defeated in 2016. A quote from Ben Rhoads recent book “The World As It Is” illustrates (better than anything else) this void in liberal thought. After the loss, Obama said: “...“Sometimes I wonder whether maybe we pushed too far…Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe...”

It isn’t even an option that perhaps what the Left wants isn’t what Americans want. That thought is never broached. The administration that openly, deliberately, and unashamedly lied to achieve their goals, exemplified by the quote from one of the architects of the typically named “Affordable Care Act” (Better known as “ObamaCare”) Jonathan Gruber who admitted that, in order to get it passed, the law was made deliberately obscure and deceptive: “...Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” said Gruber. “Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass...”

He really did say that. Really. So their lack of introspection, coupled with an arrogance and conceit so massive as to crush even the smallest smoldering tinder of introspection, reveals the Left to be the tyrants we all know they are, and gives us people like Jonathan Grueber who is 100% voicing the thoughts of the vast majority of Leftists with his condescending and dismissive outlook.

You never take the time to think things through. You are a river that is a mile wide and a quarter of an inch deep.

You never examine the past to see what worked and what didn’t. You always think that you can figure out how to manage people’s money better than they can. You think socialism doesn’t work because YOU weren’t the ones trying to implement it before, and you ignore history unless you think something in it helps you achieve your goals. You are surprised that The Soviet Union failed because you think you could do it right, and better. Cuba has always failed from the day Castro took over, but you would do things differently. The ideas of people like Marx, Lenin, Castro, Chavez, and numberless other failed states that have come and gone result in people having to butcher and eat animals in a zoo to stay alive, if they haven’t resorted to eating each other yet.

You don’t take into account the fallibility of humans. In your world populated by perfect people who have been led astray by the problems they have to face in it, you believe, you actually believe that a Utopia is possible, that evil in society can be removed by removing the problems in society. The most strident of you refuse to believe that there is simply such a thing as ‘bad people’, that real evil exists. Hundreds of millions of people were murdered by their own governments in the last century, not to mention the people from countries of their own they have slaughtered.

And all of those governments were tyrannical, far Left states.

So you see, Charles Pierce, you may not understand ‘us’ or want to understand ‘us’, but WE understand you and your comrades on the Left all too well. And we now have a President who appears to understand you perfectly as well. And you don’t understand it.

It is good for us that you don’t. Your thickness and ignorance serves a dual purpose of allowing us to impede your leftist diktats, and providing us with entertainment.

It may not last. Trump may be one of a kind, and we may never again have a president on the right who stands up to Leftist tyrants the way he does.

But for right now, he has you and your ilk spewing outraged spittle from your lips as your eyes bug out and your impotent mouths open and close like a landed fish.

Yes. We understand you all too well.
