And Just Why Does James Comey Warrant a Motorcade?

May 9, 2017

 

Donald, I LOVE YOU!!!  Just when you start to lose me with your feeble health insurance bill and your budget capitulation on The Wall, you go to your long suit and make Democratic/Progressive heads explode!!!  The Donald’s firing of James Comey was long overdue—the former FBI Director is an egotistical, waffling, and incompetent Washington hack whose list of failures and oversights is long–but if I’d had any idea how the Left would foam at the mouth and wet their pants, I would have stocked up on popcorn days ago and settled into my recliner to watch the show.

Surfing the cable landscape was never so much fun as it was tonight watching Lawrence O’Donnell pull the strings of his dour and predictable guests who gasped that Comey’s dismissal signaled the end of the Union.  And it was sheer delight watching Muff Dive Maddow take shots at the only President who has ever had the nuts to bypass the dead in the water mainstream media and fight back on his own terms.  Never mind that for months Democrats have been calling for Comey’s head because, after all, it was he that caused Coattails Hillary to burp up the biggest slam dunk of all elections. Tonight, it was scandalous that Comey was given the heave-ho, presumably at the behest of Vladimir Putin, or birthers, or deplorables, or racists, or fascists, or whoever happens to be currently hiding under the beds of the left-wing scum infesting our nation.

O’Donnell employed dreary Neera Tanden to lament this broadside on our Constitution, while David Frum, who will probably change his mind tomorrow on this highly warranted firing, opined that this “was an attack on the integrity—not just of law enforcement—but of our defense against a foreign cyberattack on the processes of American democracy.”  WHEW!!  Got all that?  Good thing Frum was at happy hour when Hillary was selling off our uranium assets to the Russians for a cool $145 million and Obama was telling former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, “This is my last election…after my election, I’ll have more flexibility.”  Russian ties, indeed!

O’Donnell, for his part, knew the Comey firing was serious potatoes when he learned that “Camera Time” Chuck Schumer called it a Trump cover-up and was insisting that all members of the Senate be seated tomorrow morning at 9 am for what we can only guess will be another auto-erotic Schumer grandstanding.  After all, there must be momentous work to be done if the liars and thieves that do our country’s business are actually supposed to show up to work on time.  Momentous enough that even Brian Williams came home from his rigorous combat duty to lambaste the President.

So troubling was Comey’s dismissal that the various networks and cable outlets zeroed in on the erstwhile director as he rode a heavy motorcade down the Los Angeles freeways and then left LAX on a private plane.  None of the crack journalists, who stand up for the little guy, after all, bothered to speculate on why an FBI director warrants a full motorcade and a private jet.  Then again, they haven’t lost a lot of sleep over their savior Obama chalking up a $400,000 windfall for a speech to the Wall Street “fat cats” he spent eight years demonizing, or another $30,000 A MINUTE (that’s $3 million) for 100 minutes of sermonizing in Italy last week.  It’s 1789 France all over again with the gulf between the haves and the have-nots widening by the day as our mainstream media pretends to care while looking the other way and tilting at windmills involving Russian boogeymen, transgender bathrooms, and Play-doh at exam time for our effete millennials.

Keep a drainin’ the swamp, Donald!!

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble

Well the first punches have been thrown in the series of three debates between Hillary and Donald, and I would have to call it Hillary by split decision.  Sadly, it didn’t have to be so.  The Donald had her on the ropes early, but failed to deliver the knockout punch that would have easily landed on her corrupt and exposed chin.

In the first half of the debate, Trump managed to corner Clinton on issues from her continuing e-mail saga to her numerous miserable failures on matters of state, to hers and Obama’s disastrous economic policies.  He sounded in control, reasonable, and possessed of a firm grasp of the facts.  Hillary’s mask-like and reptilian attempt at a smile betrayed how uncomfortable she was in the crosshairs, but then Trump began spewing repeated inanities that never hit home.

When Clinton mentioned a federal discrimination lawsuit that was brought against one of Trump’s rental properties in the early 70’s, Trump parried well initially by noting that several other entities were named in the suit, and that he settled without admitting guilt.  But this would have been a perfect moment to say, “Yes, a lawsuit was brought because not all of us have the FBI and the DOJ in our pockets.  Not all of us can have the Director of the FBI stand in front of the cameras for 20 minutes on July 5th detailing lie after lie, and malfeasance after malfeasance, and then refuse to indict.”  It was a perfect opportunity, but he allowed Hillary to get back to her corner unscathed.

When Hillary tried to tar Trump as sympathetic to Russia because of his implied relationship with Vladimir Putin, Trump should have said it was she who pressed the comically failed “reset button.”  When she mentioned Russian hackers, Trump should have pointed out that it was she who exposed government secrets with a private and illegal server, but he failed to thrust.

Clinton came off the ropes to land a few jabs when she mentioned Trump’s vague and nebulous position at the advent of the Iraq War, but The Donald counter-punched by rightly averring that it was her and Obama’s leadership that created the vacuum that birthed ISIS.  However, he had the perfect opening to mention how Obama referred to the terror outfit as the JV team, but he neglected to do so.  Debates such as these are always remembered in sound bites, and JV team would have gone a long way to attaching Clinton irredeemably to the savages that she helped create with feckless policy positions in Libya, Syria, and Iraq.  Trump also should have said that regardless of his positions on any of it, he was not the one in charge at the time, and his opinions at that time were not at all relevant.

As Clinton started waxing about the importance of working with Muslim countries to help defeat terrorism, Trump could have said Clinton would know all about working with Muslim countries as her Clinton Foundation has been taking money from them for years.  Is it a pay for play, or simply that she likes to consort with countries that subjugate, oppress, rape, and kill women, gays, Christians, and Muslim apostates—the very groups she purports to love and support?  Again, Clinton managed to rope-a-dope away from any serious Trump blows.

Finally, Clinton, in full hypocritical bloom, played the gender card, implying Trump was a name-calling misogynist.  Donald hinted that he wanted to say something, but he took the high road when he should have mentioned the elephant in the room.  He needed to speak of Hillary’s philandering, rapist, pedophile husband.  He needed to let the millennials know that while she talks a big game as a feminist, she was the point man (I know…the word point man is sexist!) in Slick Willy’s “bimbo patrol,” assailing and ruining the lives of that pig’s many accusers.  Alas, Trump beat the same drum ad nauseum about his myriad business successes, instead of going for the jugular.

Trump has to tread a fine line.  The pundits keep saying he has to come across as presidential, but he’s gotten this far by being himself and going on the attack.  In the next debate, he needs to work from body blows to attacking the head.  God knows with that sow’s obvious neurological issues, a head blow could put her on the canvas.
