I have to do this quickly because I have been trying to be diligent about getting content up every day and I only have a few minutes left to do so...
A few thoughts on the Russians that have so occupied our Democratic friends...
Back in 2012 Mitt Romney (who I despise by the way) correctly assessed the Russians as the biggest adversary our nation faced. Barack Obama mocked him on this and oddly enough Obama was caught on a hot mic telling the Russians right before the Election of 2012 that he would have more ‘flexibility’ after the election. When the Russians went in and took control of parts of the Ukraine, Obama effectively did nothing. Even after they shot down a passenger jet, Obama was for the most part silent.
Now, is anyone so incredibly naive as to think that 2016 was the first time Russians tried to interfere with the US Elections? Likely not but you know it wasn’t really a big deal to any Democrat because good old Barry had won a second term.
A few months back there were raucous calls from the Democrats to fire James Comey. As a matter of fact only last week Hillary Clinton came out of the woods and plainly said that Comey was the reason she lost the election. Last week also Comey appeared before Congress and blew his testimony, blew his testimony in the sense that the FBI had to sned a letter to Congress telling them that Comey may have overstated things a bit. It wasn't the first time Comey screwed up publicly either.
Back in February, Susan Yates told the Trump administration that Michael Flynn may not have been entirely forthright with the administration. Democrats have asked why it took so long for Trump to remove Flynn (18 days) and why he didn’t fire him outright on the say so of a holdover from the previous administration.
This week the Deputy AG who was confirmed only at the end of April reviewed Comey’s performance in his job as Director of the FBI by canvassing former Justice Department officials of both Republican AND Democratic administrations and the response was almost unanimous that Comey had well over stepped his bounds as Director of the FBI. The Deputy wrote up his recommendations and Comey was fired.
Now... the question is this. If the Democrats were so very upset that Michael Flynn was not fired immediately and now are upset because James Comey was fired on the recommendations of his boss the Deputy Attorney General just what is it that the Democrats want?
Oh, I know... they want Hillary to be President. Problem is she lost.
Now, if there is any funny business, they will get rid of Trump. Good.
Plain and simple, that’s the way it should be too. Or government though has a framework in place that will see to that. Besides, can anyone actually say this made things EASIER for Trump? Really?
But if Comey had remained as Director and ultimately the FBI investigation turns out that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians then Comey’s call and the whole investigation gets called into question. There’s no doubt if it turns out that there has been no collusion there is a segment of the population that will never believe it because what we have now is the second coming of the Great Red Scare.
This time it’s the Democrats in the role of Joe McCarthy though.
This is not the ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ as the breathless folks on the Left want to describe it as because at this point there is nothing approaching a criminal investigation. As a matter of fact in repeated testimony before Congress each and every time the subject has come up the answer has been that the person testifying has seen no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Yet, you still get people appearing in the rotunda looking very serious and very earnest talking about the ‘possibility’ and what ‘might’ have occurred. It’s more than a little ironic that these are the very same people who appeared to have no problem with home brew email servers.
Again, if things turn out the other way... well guess what, we pillory people for being traitors in a big way but excuse me if I can’t find it in myself to get caught up in your hysteria.
I realize there is an almost giddy sense of being part of the ‘resistance’ but I do have to call bullshit on you idiots. I call bullshit because I see people taking selfies and posting to their social media streams. I see people getting together with their friends as if it is some great social event to go demonstrating. I am reminded of the quote by Konstantin Stanislavski “Love art in yourself, and not yourself in art.” This could readily apply to the folks demonstrating for I find they are far too much in love with themselves in the ‘resistance.’
Besides if any of the idiots that were out there marching around actually volunteered or took the time they spend demonstrating (complaining) and doing something that is actually productive the world would be a much better place.
So, that’s the screed for today and good night.
