Bill Maher: We Need a Recession to Save Us from Trump
PJ Media ^ | 9 June 2018 | Charlie Martin

Posted on 06/09/2018 2:14:16 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Okay, so Donald Trump is a dangerous damnable demon from the deepest depths of dark darkness. So if a few eggs are broken in our jihad, well, that's how you make omelets. We get it.

At least, that seems to be the current message.

Recently, I wrote about the Republican or conservative voices pushing the idea that the right conservative position was to vote for Democrats in the 2018 election to "send a message" to Trump. As you may recall, I said: "the motives are pernicious and the outcome horrendous." But if you thought that was the limit, well, you can depend on the Left to beat it.

To wit:

@BillMaher: “One way you get rid of @realDonaldTrump is a crashing economy, so please bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or lose your democracy.” #RealTime #TTT

Quote: "One way you get rid of @realDonaldTrump is a crashing economy, so please bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession or lose your democracy."

He is, at least, sorry it would hurt lots of people. Oh, probably not anyone he knows, of course: Bill's got a $10 million salary and an estimated net worth of $100 million, so if the economy crashes he's mainly going to be troubled by headlines and tut-tutting among his equally-wealthy friends. So "please bring on the recession." It's just little people in places like Indiana, West Virginia, Michigan, or Wisconsin — who probably voted for Trump anyway, so they deserve it.

In a lot of ways, this actually makes sense, because we needed Trump to save us from a recession.

The Dummycrats only ever succeed when America is failing,

That’s why I hate those Bush bastards so much. Their sheer incompetence gave us a combined 16 years of Bj Clinton and Obozzo

If Trump’s policies caused a recession, he would be said to be an inept and irresponsible President.

May Bill Maher have a Recession from his career; a permanent one would be good.
A Recession, which he hopes for, is extremely hard on the poor.

A recession? Under Trump?

What has Bill Maher been smoking?

Neva happen, GI.

What Trump has been doing (unlocking regulatory restraints, tax rate reductions, going to bat to end unfair international trade deals, bringing recalcitrant international players to the table, AND rallying Americans to his cause) all build consumer confidence, the very antidote for recession.

Lead, follow, or get the h*ll out of the way. We are not dealing with the typical political climate here. Trump is, literally, a force of nature, as much as the wind and the tides.

They started reporting on the falling Bush economy as soon as he was elected, so they know this schtick works.
