I emerge from my self-imposed exile with only one thing to say. *ahem!*

With so much vitriol aimed at President Trump (and the GOP as a whole), have the Democrats actually bothered with a post-mortem of their defeat six months ago? Seriously. Between the DNC brass, the media, and their corporate backers, I have never seen a group so incapable of introspection and self awareness. Here is the thing: the Democrats fielded the worst candidate possible and fell upon their sword, which is both comic and tragic at the same time.

I love how Trump-haters ignore how Clinton stacked the deck against Bernie Sanders, who unlike Hilary, had grassroots support and a message. While I may not have agreed with Sanders' platform, I had a modicum of respect for him (which went up in smoke when he endorsed Clinton) because he was very much a dark horse. Of course, Clinton was not going to let a repeat of 2008, where Obama snatched the nomination from her, happen again. She along with her confederates in the DNC screwed Bernie out of any chance of securing the nomination.

What I reckon helped do Clinton in was that many demoralized Bernie supporters stayed home when it came time to vote. Another factor I see is that the persona she put forth was completely fake and enough people saw through it. I am not going to defend Trump. The man is a narcissist, boorish, and generally unpleasant, but at least it was his real personality. Everything Clinton did and said was staged; she admitted to her banker friends that she had "public" opinions and "private" opinions, which was no doubt how she and her inner circle justified their jarring cognitive dissonance.

That is why I can do nothing but laugh and sneer at the people bemoaning Comey's dismissal. I knew since November that his job security would be in question, given Trump's contempt of him and Clinton's vindictive nature. The only reason why the Left is upset over this is because the were not the ones who fired him. All the while, they ceaselessly rail on him and panic like a barnyard full of headless poultry because they refuse to acknowledge they were also the architects of their own downfall.

So by all means, continue this comedy of errors, fools. Chances are you will give him a second term in 2020 because of your idiocy.

I deeply agree.

This nonsense of blaming Russia almost to the point of inciting a war is to compensate for the fact that there are no lefty-lib acceptable explanations for why Hildebitch lost the race.

Hillary ran a horrible campaign.

To start, from what I am able to fathom she took off 46 days from the campaign during the primaries and general election. Twenty of those days off were in October just prior to the election when she should have been campaigning the hardest!

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=da ... 4613853694

Meanwhile Trump's "days off" were really just travel days or days when he was preparing for the debates. Normal stuff.

Hillary didn't bother to campaign in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin. All three states had supported Obama and she took them for granted. The media ridiculed Trump for campaigning in these 'blue' states. Which he won.

Trump's team focused on a strategy to win the Electoral College because that's all that matters. Hillary's campaign assumed they'd just win and never bothered to create a coherent strategy - something that is related in the book, "Shattered".

Hillary's chronic illness dogged her through the campaign and her pretending that it didn't exist made her look disingenuous. She really needed to get out in front of it to neutralize it as a campaign issue and she failed to do so.

Hillary's campaign ads and her campaign strategy all smacked of 1990's aesthetics.

Her yelling and screaming videos made her look crazy. And she was soundly mocked on social media for coming off like a loony-tunes.



She also failed because she was an awkward, graceless, political insider up against a charismatic, engaging, outsider who was more effective at connecting with his supporters than she was with hers. Her pathetic attempts to pose as a Washington outsider were ridiculed even by Democrat-friendly media.

The ultimate reason she failed to win the election is because people saw her for who she is. No one invested their hopes and dreams into her like they did with Obama. At best they clung to her because they feared a Donald Trump Presidency (a fear Hillary repeatedly tried to exploit) and as it turns out that's not enough to get people to to polls.

This nonsense of scrambling for reasons why some conspiracy 'stole' the election from her denies the simple fact that not enough people across enough states voted for her and that's what it takes to win.

....stuff n thangs.......

1) Don't equate disgust for Trump with approval for the Democrats. They're two distinctly separate things.

2) Hit up Twitter and some of the other sites to see the massive divide between establishment Democrats and left-wing Americans of the BernieBro variety. The Bros detest the Clinton wing of the party as much as they do Trump and they will not support another establishment candidate of the Hillary ilk in 2020.

One of the things that hasn't received near enough attention has been the refusal of the DNC to support special byelection candidates in Montana, Missouri, and Georgia who were on the cusp of taking congressional seats away from the GOP because they aren't part of the party machine, i.e. they're either BernieBros or some kind of genuine independents. This is typical of the Dems, where in the moment they should be sinking their teeth into Trump's throat they're instead finding new ways to lose. Not surprising at all really, considering that in Clinton they chose the only candidate so flawed and dirty herself that a clown act like Donald Trump was able to beat her.

It seems the FBI thinks Trump is a lying sack of shit too.
The lies will continue and the idiots will keep on defending the indefensible. It would be nice to know that he'd be facing a military firing squad for his crimes, but the judiciary will likely just imprison him for his crimes.

Exactly. I cannot believe Comey would have answered a question like that, nor would he sit down for dinner 'to save his job'. The blatant disrespect coming from the White House is just ridiculous.
His own spokes people don't know what's going on, and he claims that he "just has so much energy". So so so full of shit.

How can anyone, ANYone, still defend this man?
He is throwing everyone under the bus who doesn't jump for him personally.

Just curious; do you want him assassinated?

Why, are you volunteering your services? Last time I checked being put in front of a military firing squad was the punishment for crimes against the state, such as treason. Since when is that assassination?

Personally, I'd like to see him suffer a major coronary or stroke in front of TV cameras whilst in the midst of one of his lie filled rantrums.

That's one thing the Orange Koolaid sipping simpletons that worship the Ritz Cracker aren't capable of understanding. They don't understand that while Clinton is seen as the lesser of two evils, she is still viewed as being evil.

[BartSimpson]

Hmmm. In typical Washington DC fashion the word is coming out after 5pm Eastern time on a Friday that Comey was fired partly because of his refusal to go after Hillary because of her 'lack of intent' in mishandling national secrets...intent being irrelvant in the applicable Federal law.

And...he was also fired due to what are currently the confidential results of the Office of the Inspector General's investigation of Comey that was started in January.

This is all I can find on that investigation so far:

DOJ OIG Announces Initiation of Review

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today that, in response to requests from numerous Chairmen and Ranking Members of Congressional oversight committees, various organizations, and members of the public, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) will initiate a review of allegations regarding certain actions by the Department of Justice (Department) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in advance of the 2016 election. Cognizant of the scope of the OIG’s jurisdiction under Section 8E of the Inspector General Act, the review will examine the following issues:

• Allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and that certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations;

• Allegations that the FBI Deputy Director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters;

• Allegations that the Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs improperly disclosed non-public information to the Clinton campaign and/or should have been recused from participating in certain matters;

• Allegations that Department and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information; and

• Allegations that decisions regarding the timing of the FBI’s release of certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize same, were influenced by improper considerations.

The review will not substitute the OIG’s judgment for the judgments made by the FBI or the Department regarding the substantive merits of investigative or prosecutive decisions. Finally, if circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.

And how effective has this near-psychotic ranting been, hm? The Left's (establishment or otherwise) reaction to the election has been akin to a complete nervous breakdown. It is hilarious how they have mentally regressed to the point where they cannot form a coherent thought. Now we have a bunch of a bunch of sheltered young adults with the emotional maturity of toddlers running around and throwing violent tantrums because the world refused to conform to their psychoses.

And we know whose fault that is. (HINT: It is not Trump's.)

Quelle surprise. The media basically destroyed any shred of credibility it once had because they threw their lot in with Clinton, whose campaign (notably Time Warner and Alphabet Inc.) they donated to.

You know what may actually work: sit down and shut the hell up while the man digs his own grave. How many times have the Never-Trumpers cried wolf? Enough times that the general public ignores them because their hysterics are now just Tuesday. Seriously, how brain-damaged do they have to be to believe that their constant prattling is going to hold people's attention indefinitely? Hell, people like them are fast becoming the subject of mockery and disdain as their sphere of influence shrinks to their urban and coastal enclaves.

By all means, show your disgust for Trump, but do not be surprised if people regard you as little more than the organ grinder's monkey.

Adios.

I am starting to get very curious as to what exactly Comey did that burnt bridges on both sides of the aisle.

KEITH OLBERMANN ASKS RUSSIA TO OVERTHROW US GOVERNMENT


The moral arc of the left bends slowly but surely toward treason. Even when they pretend to be patriots, they will never be satisfied but that they insist on going full circle from feigned patriotism to open treason. The left has been playing patriot insisting that they want to save America from the Russians. Only to demand that the Russians save us from Trump.

In his latest video, Comrade Olbermann, Hero of the Resistance, asks the Russians to overthrow President Trump. Because if you ever had any doubts as to whether the left hates the Russians more than America, let there be no doubt. They always hate America more.

"I appeal to the intelligence agencies and the governments of what is left of the free world," Keith Olbermann declares. "To them as entities, entireties as bureaucracies making official decisions, and to the individuals who make decisions of conscience. To GCHQ and MI6 in the UK, to the BND in Germany, the DGSE in France, the ASIS in Australia, and even of the GRU in Russia, where they must already be profoundly aware that they have not merely helped put an amoral cynic in power here, but an uncontrollable one, whose madness is genuine and whose usefulness—even to them—is at an end."

Technically this is treason. Not that's a new look for the left.

But Olbermann has gone from accusing the Russians of a coup... to asking Russian intel for help with a left-wing coup. Also I'm uncertain why he expects ASIS in Australia to help overthrow the US government. And why he leaves out the dreaded MIS or Monaco Intelligence Service.

I like how he reaches out to the Russians by calling Trump an uncontrollable puppet. Hint, hint. If you Russkies want to make Keith president. He could be much more controllable. Just ask ESPN, MSNBC and Current.

It's a reminder of two things.

1. The left are always traitors. They can only pretend to be patriots for around 5 minutes before they turn to open treason.

2. Treason comes from among the elites of the left. Olbermann's ravings are sponsored by GQ.

The fish rots from the head.

+5 for noticing that the investigation of Comey was started under the Obama Administration.

[ShepherdsDog]

Looks like Comey will be testifying in an open session before the Senate Intelligence Committee. No closed doors.
