for youYou sure give the guy a lot more credit for intelligence than I do. I am a " You mean what you say, and say what mean" type person.
I have said this before and I will again, I do not hate Trump, nor do I like Trump. I have never met the man. However, from what I see, read and hear, I have zero respect for the person.
You wish to go and interpret it that way, great, I just wonder about the poor impressionable person who believes it, and takes out a gun....

So WHY are Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic Party so nervous right now?
Even with their long-awaited impeachment vote against President Trump FINALLY becoming a reality, today's Democrats currently view the 2020 elections like inhabitants of a storm-ravaged city look towards the end of hurricane season — as an opportunity to restore order NOT just to their devastated neighborhoods, but ALSO to their battered psyches.
“My big fear is that we are not coalescing around one candidate, and I don’t know in the end if there’s enough people who will come out and vote,” said Mac Macnair, a Democrat who lives in a deep-red county in rural Georgia. “Four years is as long as I can go, but eight years — we won’t even have an America left.”
Macnair, a former teacher in her late 50s, was in Greenwood a few weeks ago to listen to her preferred candidate, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., speak in a college gym. She was anxious to hear what he had to say, while concerned that the vast field of bickering Democratic Party candidates seem to be busy canceling each other out and failing at the one job they are theoretically meant to do: win the election. Meanwhile, impeachment itself serves as nothing more than a study in defeat.
63-year old Beverly Hall, another Biden supporter at the Greenwood event, is frustrated that none of the other candidates seem to care the slightest bit about helping the former vice president. “This guy who’s on the commercials — Jim, what’s his name?” she said, referring to Tom Steyer. “I like what he’s saying. I like the issues he’s bringing up. But why are you spending $3 million on TV when you could be giving the money to Joe?”
A sampling of interviews with Democrats in different parts of the country reveals that worry & anxiety come in many forms.
From Jobetta Hedelman-Beaver, 39, of Kennewick, Washington: “I’m anxious about Trump. I’m super-anxious about him. I blame him for my high blood pressure.”
From Katie Matlin, 40, in Northbrook, Illinois: “My husband has major anxiety around the election. We actually cannot watch news coverage in our house because any news about Donald Trump triggers his anxiety.”
From the actor Robert De Niro, appearing on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”: “It’s like living in an abusive household. You don’t know what’s going to happen next, what crazy thing is going to happen next, what’s going to make you say, ‘What the hell is going on?’”
From David Kaye, 37, in Milwaukee: “During previous elections, I’d have a giant spreadsheet and follow every candidate. But it’s not fun anymore. It’s still just as important, but it triggers my anxiety, and sometimes it triggers panic attacks. I’m not following out of interest or a sense of fun, but out of a sense of not wanting our civilization to fall.”
The stock market is roaring. Unemployment is at a record low. The economy added 266,000 new jobs in November. Though these things are objectively good, of course, they are less good if you are a Democrat and you don’t want the current president to get credit for anything that might help him get re-elected.
These are the miserable people that Nancy Pelosi needs to be praying for at this time!

The verdict on the impeachment trial of President Trump may not be in — at least not yet formally - but already noticeable is the angry petulance of the Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi! With a Senate defeat now CLEARLY staring her in the face, the Speaker is already hinting at disbarment of the President’s lawyers for defeating her House managers on the floor of the Senate!
And it's NOT just Nancy Pelosi - Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post that it was Hillary Clinton who first ended the tradition of gracious concessions that has, in the past, marked our politics. On impeachment Goodwin quotes Senator Schumer as attacking the integrity of the very Senate in which he claims to faithfully serve - no statement like: “Gee, the House did a fine job, but, I regret, it wasn’t quite thorough enough to convince the Senate.” No, what Mr. Schumer said was: “The Senate turned away from truth and went along with a sham trial.” The verdict Wednesday will be, he predicted, “meaningless.” In other words, Schumer's put a dagger through the heart of his own institution.
The Internet is boiling over with warnings that the evidence is going to come out sooner than later. It’s not clear to us why that supports the Democratic case to call witnesses now. If the evidence is real, the House can always impeach Trump again. Or, the Democrats can then use it between now and November 5. Only it's not real - what's REAL is the Democratic Party's angry petulence.
Speaker Pelosi’s own highly partisan role in the impeachment she claimed to want to avoid invites the same kind of cynicism she’s expressed in respect of Mr. Trump. After first becoming House Speaker, Mrs. Pelosi expressed the joy felt by many women. How sad that she has failed to set a better tone for her own childish, angry Democrats. They’ve tried faithless electors. They've tried the courts. They've tried the deep state. They tried a special prosecutor. But not even impeachment, it seems, will bring them closure.
They're just angry, bitter people, who tell us with a straight face that they pray everyday for the president!
