The whirlpool encircling the drain keeps spinning faster and faster and the Democrat party gets ever closer to being swallowed into the abyss. Trump has driven them to the brink of complete madness and he’s enjoyed every minute of it!

Pelosi said she shut down Greens impeachment vote because:

"With all due respect in the world for him, we have six committees that are working on following the facts in terms of any abuse of power, obstruction of justice and the rest that the president may have engaged in," Pelosi said.

6 friction committees. Are any of the democrats doing what they were elected to do?

The top 2 links helped me understand what Trump is doing with his tweets. The first that Trump picks issues 51% of the popular vote would support. The second how Trump is trying to help rediscover the founding principles of our Country- In his own unique way.

41:26 "Trump is like a Bird of Prey". If Trump is half as smart as this makes him seem we're luckier than we know.

Yes it was. After watching it I purchased a new shirt to troll Dems with. $20.77 delivered to fuck with leftists, money well spent. I laughed my ass off on the Time response from the left. I was laughing my ass off from the toilet, wifey was probably thinking WTF?




Could decide between black or blue, picked this one.

I've only watched a dozen VDH videos, but this is one of the best. Haters don't realize that Trump represents the general every day American, even if they are afraid to say in public or in front of friends or co-workers. We may not show up in force at the water cooler or in polls, but we WILL show up at 2020 polling stations

Washington Lays All the Ugly Cards on the Table—and at Last We Have Clarity
BY RICHARD FERNANDEZ JULY 17, 2019


We all know the scene. James Bond is losing a hopeless fight against a man-mountain in the baggage compartment of a train. Things look grim for Her Majesty's Secret Agent until he coils a rope linked to a heavy object around his opponent's neck and kicks it off the train. The villain is yanked into the night and James Bond wins again.

Trump's strategy is to fight the Washington establishment with this outlandish plot device. By engaging in a bare-knuckle public row with four Democratic left-wing congresswomen, he's creating a rope he plans to loop round the more careful centrists who, with any luck, will be dragged into the darkness by AOC.

Nothing like this has happened before because for years political arguments took place at the stately pace dictated by the news cycle in terms calculated to preserve decorum. The pattern was predictable. Leaks set up the story and talk shows filled in the blanks and the nation had its narrative for the week. But by resorting to Twitter the president can engage any part of the Democratic lineup, bypassing the party front office. With rapid-fire Tweets calling the four congresswomen un-American and they, in turn, calling him a racist, Trump has cut the Democratic center out of a public stage that is now an arena of spontaneous, fiery exchanges.

This provoked spontaneity keeps the Democratic Party from presenting a unified front and communicating through carefully prepared spokesmen in controlled venues, a system that served them so well in the past. It also keeps them from getting their story straight. As Time Magazine notes "lying can be cognitively demanding. You must suppress the truth and construct a falsehood that is plausible on its face and does not contradict anything known by the listener, nor likely to be known. You must tell it in a convincing way and you must remember the story. This usually takes time and concentration, both of which may give off secondary cues and reduce performance on simultaneous tasks."

Lying is hard work. In a rapid exchange, people can accidentally tell the truth. It was telling the truth that doomed Dr. Leana Wen's presidency at Planned Parenthood.

Unlike Richards, Wen didn’t have a knack for balancing Planned Parenthood’s self-contradictory talking points. The group’s executives ritually parrot the false statistic that abortion is a mere 3 percent of its services. Its latest PR campaign revolved around the slogan “This is health care,” clearly an effort to redirect away from discussion of abortion and recast it as a health-care procedure. With her attempt to backtrack from what appeared to be insufficient dedication to abortion rights, Wen accidentally revealed that Planned Parenthood sees itself, first and foremost, as an abortion provider.

By forcing the pace, Trump obviously hopes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her companions will blurt out their unvarnished reactions in velocity veritas and it seems to be working. Despite the unpleasantness, the result has been clarity: Washington has laid all the ugly cards on the table, for once the capital is free of artifice and every seething emotion is on display. The choices are stark even if they are not very edifying.

What a scene it presents. On the one hand is a group of people who think America is the source of all evil that should spend the rest of its historical existence atoning for the mischief it has loosed in the world. On the other hand is a group who believe that for all its faults it is the greatest country in the world and that those who want to destroy it should go back to Somalia. Whichever point of view you subscribe to (or neither) it's hard to deny that these factions have existed for some time and are only now coming to grips in the open.

But this clarity has been bought at the cost of increased political risk. Robert Lundgren, in his analysis of the Kirishima's sinking at the hands of the battleship USS Washington, concluded that it capsized due to thousands of tons of water sloshing around on its big empty middle decks. Great masses moving inside a void can throw even a battlecruiser from side to side a phenomenon called the free surface effect. "If a moving mass inside the vessel moves in the direction of the roll, this counters the righting effect by moving the center of gravity towards the lowered side."

A similar thing can happen in politics. With the rout of the Republican establishment during the 2016 primaries and Hillary's loss in the general a few months later, the old center of gravity was annihilated. The hard left and the populists are gyrating through the wreckage of the parties threatening to upend them at every moment. The Free Twitter Effect is driving the media mad. In retrospect, the psychological center of American politics must have been fraying for a long time.

How else to explain why the new controversy is who owns America. "America," said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "belongs to everyone." Unfortunately, too many agree, especially on K Street. Depending on whom you listen to the Russians now own the White House, the Chinese control Google, the Middle East funds the universities and according to Ilhan Omar, Israel has "hypnotized" everyone else. Why stop there when anyone can evidently join the fun? When the New York Times asked the Democratic Party presidential candidates about border protection, it turned out they do "not have a uniform stance on border enforcement. We asked candidates to clarify their views, but only a few said whether they saw illegal immigration itself as a problem".

Maybe globalization has worked only too well. Time was when it was axiomatic that America belonged to Americans but those were simpler, more innocent times before Washington became capital of the world. That title -- the caput mundi -- once belonged to Rome before it moved on to Constantinople, then London and now D.C. Perhaps one day history will move on again and leave Washington once more the capital of the mere United States of America.

“WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says a U.S. warship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

Trump says it’s the latest “hostile” action by Iran. He’s calling on other countries to condemn what he says are Iran’s attempts to disrupt the freedom of navigation and global commerce in the strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf region.

Trump says the USS Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the warship and ignored multiple calls to stand down.

The president says the drone threatened the safety of the American ship and its crew…”

Don’t be ashamed, explain it this way, he is subject to least acceptable standards, curved due to cultural, socio-economic and origin issues; and continuously fails to achieve them. Much nicer and less pain.

==========================================

Trolling the Socialists is one of my favorite past-times. I wear my Trump 2020 hat when the left is ablaze on any current issue.

Not that I really need another tee shirt, but would you care to share your source for the shirt (assuming you have not financial relationship with the producer) ?
