Totally Treason

Mueller proved himself to be America's Gandalf, this
week. I suppose that Trumpypants meant to enlist the
immense, powerful fire-creature, the Balrog of Morgoth
to battle Mueller. The defenders of Trumpypants proved
to be a loud mouthed gang of miniature trolls.

Stacked on each other's shoulders, they failed to reach
the height of the top of Mueller's trouser seam.

The tiny trolls screamed until the were red in the face.
They attempted to climb up his robe's hem. A few quietly
firm words from Gandalf sent them falling, back to the dirt.

Total Dunces, or Rebellious Scum ?

Someone serving as an aide to assist the Trumpypant's visit,
searched online to find a copy of the presidential seal for the
podium. They did not notice that it was a parody of the seal.

https://www.sltrib.com/news/nation-world/2019/07/25/how-trump-ended-up-front/

(“45 es un títere,” which in Spanish translates to “45 is a puppet.”)

For Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University in
St. Louis, the fact that a doctored seal appearing to mock Trump
was allowed to be projected behind him as he walked onto a stage
was equal parts stunning and perplexing.

"To let someone project something on the screen that isn't
controlled by the White House is pretty stupid."


(To be fair, their Troll King did not set much of an example.
Intel briefs go unread. DNRTMW)

CNN reported Thursday afternoon that the TPUSA (Turning Point USA)
aide was fired for the mistake. A source within the organization told CNN
that there was “zero malicious intent” and the mistake was the result of a
hasty Google search.

If Mueller is America's Gandalf, then the Democratic Party are America's orcs, and that party's presidential candidates are Gollum, Grima, and Shelob.

Robert Mueller's testimony was the last hope for the Dems to come up with something impeachable, but once again they've FAILED to do so! It was essentially STRIKE THREE on all of their dreams!

The first strike, of course, was Trump's stunning upset victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 - "But she won the popular vote, just like Al Gore did in 2000!" It doesn't matter. She LOST the Electoral Vote, which is all that's EVER mattered in U.S. presidential elections!

And the second-strike was, of course, when the results of Mueller's investigation were finally released, with the U.S. Attorney General announcing: NO COLLUSION & NO OBSTRUCTION! "But Mueller never actually said that - he just said there wasn't enough evidence!" Well, it sure looks like that's what was confirmed with this week's testimony! This thing is OVER!

America's Gandalf has once again proven to be a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT regarding the Democratic Party's hopes of ending the Trump presidency, and that means that President Trump now gets to run against one of those WEAK Democrat candidates in November of 2020 - most likely Joe "Grope & Change" Biden! It's going to get ugly again for the poor Dems!

I was looking at the pic used for this Washington Post article-

"Obama’s secret struggle to punish Russia for Putin’s election assault"

-Greg Miller, Ellen Nakashima and Adam Entous

June 23, 2017

Every picture tells a story.
President Barack Obama is staring down at Putin.
If this pic was converted into a cartoon with thought balloons,
it might read something like this-

President Obama:

"I know what you did."
"I will do everything in my power, to oppose what you are attempting to do."

Putin:

"I am determined to destroy America."
"I know I am doing something that is wrong."
"I will never end my campaign, to rob your country of everything that makes it an inspiration."
"America gives people hope. I cannot let that exist."

Republican and Democrats have always had their basic differences.
The one place that they met in unity, was against external attacks on Our Country.

Putin corrupted and corroded that unity.

Biden:

McConnell Refused To Sign Bipartisan Statement On Russian Interference

January 24, 2018

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden said
the Obama administration sought a united front to dispel
concerns that going public with such accusations would
be seen as an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the
election.

However, McConnell "wanted no part of having a bipartisan
commitment saying, essentially, 'Russia's doing this. Stop,' "
he said.

At that point, Biden added, he felt that "the die had been cast"
and that "this was all about the political play."

"Can you imagine if the president called a press conference
in October, with this fella, Bannon, and company, and said,
'Tell you what: Russians are trying to interfere in our elections
and we have to do something about it,' " he said. "Would things
have gotten better, or would it further look like we were trying
to de-legitimize the electoral process, because of our opponent?"

"Had we known what we knew three weeks later, we may have
done something more," Biden added.

- meeting, between Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson,
then-FBI Director James Comey, Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco
and 12 key members of Congress.

In the meeting, the Post reports: "The Dems were, 'Hey, we have to tell the public,'"
" recalled one participant. But Republicans resisted, arguing that to warn the public
that the election was under attack would further Russia's aim of sapping confidence
in the system.

McConnell (R-Ky.) went further, officials said, voicing skepticism that the
underlying intelligence truly supported the White House's claims.

Through a spokeswoman, McConnell declined to comment,
citing the secrecy of that meeting.

https://www.wbur.org/npr/580171396/...-bipartisan-statement-on-russian-interference

"Moscow Mitch" McConnell" made some deals for his state of Kentucky.

He should have known better, than get indebted to the Russian mob.

What does he owe Putin ?

I believe you are overestimating the Dem. candidates. What they have are Dopey, Doc, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy and Sneezy.

 

[MrRandyWatson]

As expected, Mueller has accomplished nothing. Trump will not be impeached, and his re-election is guaranteed. No Dem stands a chance against Trump. I would even favor Trump to win a number of heavily blue states, and I give him a shot at a 538-0 shutout.

You trying to convince yourself of something, Randy? You sound scared (also more than a bit nutty).

KeithD writes: "You trying to convince yourself of something, Randy? You sound scared (also more than a bit nutty)"

Yes, Trump will do considerably better in 2020 than he did in 2016 - but no, he WON'T win 538 electoral votes. A much more REALISTIC prediction will involve his breaking the 400-mark. In addition to once again winning all of the states that he carried in '16, I believe that President Trump will ALSO pick-up states like Minnesota, Colorado, Virginia, Maine, Nevada, & New Hampshire, along with possibly adding New Mexico & Oregon to his total, as well!

The booming economy is going to make Trump's re-election a certainty, although the new socialist direction of the Democratic Party is going to greatly help him to pick-up moderate Democrat voters, as well. There's also a good chance that radical Dems won't support "Gropin' Joe" Biden, and the ongoing black voter exodus from that party will have an immediate impact, as well.

Russia Rand, Leningrad Lindsey, Moscow Mitch

How many other tRump Loyalists will get infamous nicknames ?

"Moscow Mitch" McConnell earned his pat on the head from tRump.
He blocked recent election-security legislation, meant to prevent
foreign interference with American elections. "Moscow Mitch" will
not permit an electronic trail, or a paper trail, to track back to his
Russian benefactors.

Rumor has it, that everyone in pResident Donald tRump Duncecap's circle
is neck deep in Russian cash, and are vulnerable to blackmail.

Stinky- skunk Rand Paul has been noticed, to be slinking away.
He won't get far. Former tRumpy comrades pop up, again,
just like prairie dogs.

Mutated carnivorous potted plant, Lindsey Graham has been
rotting away at the root.

Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
waived the panel's rules to force a vote on S.1494 before Democrats
were permitted to speak on the legislation.

"Lindsey Graham is so desperate to attack asylum seekers that
he just broke the rules of his own committee to advance his bill,"
tweeted progressive advocacy group Credo Action.

In pushing the bill forward, the Chairman Leningrad Lindsey Graham
skirted committee rules allowing for amendments and requiring minority
participation in certain actions, including to end debate.


Feinstein: "You're breaking the rules of the Committee ...
Mr. Chairman, this is unprecedented."

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) August 1, 2019

Ripping up a copy of the committee’s rules, Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy
of Vermont, a former chairman of the panel, questioned why normal rules
were being discarded.

“Apparently, it’s for legislation to give the president what he wants
in his political war on immigration,” Leahy said.

"It allows for the indefinite detention of immigrant children.
It ratchets up the cruelty against refugees seeking asylum,"
Leahy said. "It's as partisan and shortsighted as it gets.
This is supposed to be the Senate Judiciary committee—
not the Donald Trump committee."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/07/31/nevertrumpers-severely-wound-mcconnell/

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...d0e120-b46f-11e9-acc8-1d847bacca73_story.html

"The bill is an extremist attack on U.S. laws protecting children and refugees," said Eleanor Acer, director of Human Rights First's refugee protection program. "The Trump administration has thus far decimated the U.S. resettlement and asylum systems through executive fiat, but this bill would essentially enact its cruel policies into law. Senator Graham has taken Stephen Miller's anti-asylum wish list and drafted a bill around it."

"If enacted," said Acer, "the provisions in this bill would deport children to trafficking and abuse, return refugees to persecution, strand them in highly dangerous countries, rush those who do seek asylum through rigged hearings, and prevent their release from immigration jails."

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...enate-rules-advance-sweeping-anti-asylum-bill

What are the odds, that advice on how to torment asylum seekers at the
Mexican/American border, comes straight to Putin's mouth ?

tRumpypants Duncecap to tRump Loyalists-
"Get this chore list completed, or no summer break, for you!"

Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse called what "Leningrad Lindsey" enacted,
an “illegitimate process.” What could we expect, from the Cult of an Illegitimate
Occupant of the Oval Office ?

The bill that "Leningrad Lindsey" shoved forward, would change existing law,
which limits family detentions to 20 days for migrants traveling with children
and requires them to be released pending asylum hearings.

Instead, Graham’s bill would allow longer detentions by doing away with
the limits, which have been part of the so-called Flores legal settlement.

Among other changes, the legislation would restructure asylum law to
have applicants apply in Mexico and other countries, rather than when
they arrive at the U.S. border, and bring on 500 new (illegitimate,
inexperienced, unqualified "judges" hastily hand-picked by "Moscow Mitch")
immigration judges.to help process the (purposefully created) backlog of cases.

Republicans are scared and ashamed of what Trump is doing and some of them are fleeing the Republican Party as a result.

Serving in the era of Trump has few rewards. He has made an already hostile political environment worse,” Tom Davis, a former senior Republican congressman said.

“Every day there is some indefensible tweet or comment to defend or explain. It is exhausting and often embarrassing.”

Mr. Conaway, who has served in Congress for 15 years, will join Republican representatives Paul Mitchell, Pete Olson, Martha Roby and Rob Bishop in announcing their retirement.

Mr. Mitchell's resignation was spurred by his frustration with partisan fighting and the "rhetoric and vitriol" in US politics.

Martha Roby said she would not vote for Mr. Trump as his behavior had been "unacceptable as a candidate for president.”

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Yeah he's a right fucking bastard, isn't he. Just what all you wankers deserve.

And you're going to get it, too. Good and proper now.

 

[Dumpington]

Leather Lesbian observes: "Republicans are scared and ashamed of what Trump is doing and some of them are fleeing the Republican Party as a result."

WHO exactly is "scared and ashamed" of everything that President Trump is accomplishing?

Yes, I'm sure there are a few RINO's who are "fleeing in terror" from the Republican Party, but there are a LOT of Democrats who realize now that Donald Trump is EXACTLY what this country needs! The man ISN'T a politician who only says things that he thinks people want to hear, and THAT'S quite refreshing! He's going to receive a LOT more votes in 2020 than he received in 2016!

"Martha Roby said she would not vote for Mr. Trump as his behavior had been "unacceptable as a candidate for president.”"

And WHO will Martha Roby vote for in 2020? - Joe Biden? - I seriously don't think so! The Democratic Party is coming apart at the seams right now! "Gropin' Joe" is the closest thing that party has to a moderate candidate, as he fretfully clings to his role as Obama's vice-president! But, as this week's debates have shown, the Obama historic legacy is NOT the great thing that they once made it out to be.

The neo-socialist left does NOT want Biden as its candidate! Bernie Sanders will NOT get behind Joe anymore than he got behind Hillary! The "#Me, Too" movement will NOT rally behind Vice President "Hair Sniffer," and black voter support for Barack's #2 will be even more shallow than it was for the woman whom Obama once called "the most qualified candidate ever to run for president, myself included!" - which is how he described Mrs. Clinton in 2016!

Nancy Pelosi is already concerned that Trump's 2020 re-election could swamp her already tenuous hold on the office of Speaker of the House, as the looney-left continues to weaken her party's standing with the American people. Nancy knows that an unsuccessful effort to remove Trump from office (e.g. "impeachment") will only damage her Democrats, but nobody in her own party pays attention to her anymore!

Current Occupant of the Oval Office chair, Donald Duncecap Trumpypants
found someone willing to lie for him, and willing to do a hatchet job for him.

Rep. John Ratcliffe has joined the tRump Alliance.

It may not matter, if Ratliffe has failed the smell test.
He auditioned for another position altogether. Ratcliffe
will serve as another megaphone/ MAGA- phone, repeating
and amplifying the message that contradicts reality.
A proven liar, Rep. John Ratcliffe lied about who he is.

.@RepRatcliffe is the most partisan & least qualified individual
ever nominated to serve as DNI. His only qualifications seem to
be promoting Trump's conspiracy theories about the investigation
into Russian interference & calling for prosecution of Trump's
political enemies.

— Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) July 29, 2019

Maggie Haberman, a reporter for the New York Times, tweeted
Wednesday that Ratcliffe met with Trump last week to discuss
replacements for Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats,
suggesting Ratcliffe's fiery line of questioning could have been
influenced by more than Mueller's prosecutorial decisions.
Trump also met with Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the top
Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, to discuss
replacements for the country's intelligence chief, according
to Politico.

In response to Ratcliffe's questioning, Neal Katyal, an attorney who
served as acting solicitor general under President Barack Obama and
drafted the special counsel regulations under which Mueller served,
wrote on Twitter: "Ratcliffe dead wrong about the Special Counsel
regs. I drafted them in 1999. They absolutely don't forbid the Mueller
Report. And they recognize the need for a Report 'both for historical
purposes and to enhance accountability.'"

"It's outrageous if the president is hoping to pass over
this extremely qualified and experienced individual,
the highest-ranking woman in O.D.N.I., in order to
install a political loyalist as acting director."

By law, the acting director should be Sue Gordon,
principal deputy director of the DNI.

Sue Gordon has more than 30 years of intelligence experience
and is well-respected.

Senate Republicans, including chairman of the Intelligence Committee
Richard Burr who had warned Trump not to tap Rep. John Ratcliffe
for the job because he was so blindingly partisan.

Some current and former intelligence officials have said Ratcliffe is
the least-qualified person ever nominated to oversee the country’s
intelligence agencies.

the national security expertise that the job requires by law.
