I would imagine there is next to no chance that this guy will face any penalty for his actions. I wouldn't be surprised if the charges are dropped. Still, I can't say I'm upset that the guy has to spend time, money and mental energy on the charges or that he faces the negative publicity from his actions. | |||

In todays local fishwrap, the Mpls Star and Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/rea...d-history/441683383/ It is the two letters regarding President Trump's humorous depiction of him eclipsing Prsident Obama. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP He presents himself as an eclipse of Obama; that’s fitting President Donald Trump’s retweet of his face blocking former President Barack Obama’s face, as in an eclipse, was deeply offensive to me, as it should be to every American who respects the office of the president. It highlighted our current president’s obsession with his predecessor, his lack of understanding concerning the dignity of the office he holds and his inability to unite a divided country. As we all know, during a true eclipse, the sun continues to shine behind the darkness and reappears in short order. It is my hope that the light of our democracy continues to shine behind a dark and divisive administration and will reappear to heal all those who care about justice, equality and respect for all of our country’s citizens. Diane Aegler, Burnsville • • • Could it be that there has been another kind of eclipse that has been casting a broad shadow over our political and cultural landscapes for well over a year? It broods and brays in the White House, and, sadly, it has been blocking any number of more enlightening and inspiring rays of hope that have emanated for more 200 years from our “shining city on the hill”: • Eclipse of reason. • Eclipse of compassion. • Eclipse of charity. • Eclipse of cooperation. • Eclipse of transparency. • Eclipse of responsibility. • Eclipse of restraint. • Eclipse of judgment. • Eclipse of curiosity. • Eclipse of humility. • Eclipse of civility. • Eclipse of maturity. • Eclipse of trust. • Eclipse of leadership. • Eclipse of the honor, judicious power and respect for the office of the presidency. Eventually and gratefully the values we hold dear will outshine all the darkness that has been cast our way. Just as with the recent solar eclipse, let us take courage and comfort that “this too will pass” Jim Joyce, Minneapolis I do not understand the logic in either letter. | |||

Gorka now? It's another person I am sad to see go. He represented that straight-shooting clarity I liked from a lot of President Trump's picks. I don't think the President is going to ever get the swamp or the left to like him. Maybe sending a different message will help him get more done. I'm OK with the Secretary of Defense giving solid input. So, I'll wait to see if his Afghanistan policy works. ISIS has been busted up pretty good. Bannon appeared to me to be a leaker and on his own agenda, not the president's. Gorka, however, strikes me as a loyal an advisor as one could get. That, also, may be missed. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

 Gorka Is Out At The White House, Leaving Trump’s MAGA Team in the Hands of LIberals The Federalist is reporting that Sebastian Gorka, one of Steve Bannon’s acolytes, has resigned his position as Deputy Assistant to President Trump. In a blunt resignation letter, the national security and counterterrorism expert expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the Trump administration. “[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.” Apparently, Trump’s Afghanistan speech was the last straw for Gorka. “The fact that those who drafted and approved the speech removed any mention of Radical Islam or radical Islamic terrorism proves that a crucial element of your presidential campaign has been lost… Gorka will live to fight for MAGA another day. But the MAGA he was fighting for is more than a slogan. To President Trump, it was just a slogan–one that Reagan used to win in 1980. In a turn of the Bannon knife, Gorka let Trump know who he thinks put him in office. “Your presidency will prove to be one of the most significant events in modern American politics. November the 8th was the result of decades during which the political and media elites felt that they knew better than the people who elect them into office. They do not, and the MAGA platform allowed their voices to be heard,” he wrote, adding, “Millions of people believe in, and have chosen, you and your vision of Making America Great Again. They will help eventually rebalance this temporary reality.” Yeah, Mr. Gorka. Keep believing that the “temporary reality” will be rebalanced. This isn’t The Force and Trump is not Anakin Skywalker. The president is now surrounded by liberals (with Stephen Miller as the lone holdout). He unfailingly attacks Republicans for not doing his bidding, but generally leaves Democrats alone. Trump will hoist the debt ceiling, pump billions into his wall, sign any health care act that crosses his desk (I’d wager he’d sign single payer), and continue all the policies of his predecessor in relation to Iran and North Korea. In the Middle East, Trump’s deal-making will likely end in failure. The cuts in the administrative state will only last as long as he’s in office, and whatever bench appointments he can get approved in four years will be far less than the last two presidents–unless he works with the Democrats. The only rebalancing we’re likely to see is one to the left. But we’ve been wrong before, so we can hope. http://theresurgent.com/gorka-...e-hands-of-liberals/ "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

The Resurgent has not supported President Trump because he is not ideologically pure enough for them. Indeed, the president made no bones about his agenda while reiterating that he is willing to take most of what he wants even if he doesn't get all of what he wants in negotiations. It is who he is. It is written into his Art of the Deal. The Resurgent article says “he’ll sign any health care deal that crosses his desk.” The article says, “[i]n the Middle East, Trump’s deal making will likely end in failure.” It says, the president will “continue all the policies of his predecessor in relation to Iran and North Korea.” It says that MAGA is just a slogan stolen from Reagan and nothing more. I’d say the piece sounded like a self-indulgent pitty party. President Reagan pushed two tax reforms through the House and the Senate. We often see him as the vaunted peak of modern conservatism. Yet, Reagan saw both tax reforms pass on many uncontested voice votes from both parties. When recorded votes were made, there was bipartisan support of about 3 to 1. Reagan compromised and it did sometimes produce big downsides but the economy grew and he was lauded. President Reagan was not purely ideological. He was practical too. He, aghast, compromised with Democrats to see an important part of his agenda become law. Modern purist ideological conservatives too often would seemingly rather take nothing than most. The Republican Congress for many reasons have not passed many key MAGA agenda items. These items were part of President Trump long before Bannon or this Congress. So why all the boo hoo? We have a president who is looking for a team that will help him get results. I am interested to see what he gets done before I condemn him to absolute failure and defection before things happen. When my son was a child, he couldn’t wait to open packages until Christmas but he learned to control himself. Why are ideologues so sure that they will get a turd and denounce what has not happened yet? What a waste of energy. That said, there are a lot of people who I have liked who are now out of the administration. Even so, the one who I voted for is still there. How easy many forget what wonderful things the president has brought that are rock solid conservative. Past implemented results and directions should be used to predict the president’s direction and beliefs – or so it seems to me. For those who can’t see such things, break out the Depends and crap yourself again and again. It’s going to make a smelly group out of a certain lot of folks. I’m not ready to give up the fight no matter how much the ”I told you so crowd” projects the death of MAGA. After so much negativity in that article, to say at the end that they hope they are wrong does not negate the fact that the article is spinning negativity. There is something troubling in the modern ultra-conservative movement that has raised being doctrinaire and negative to a virtue. When I go in for a fight, my team’s morale is important. Places like the Resurgent may say that it is the president who is hurting their morale but they’d have more credibility if they thought about what they could do to help MAGA with the president we have rather than drag down those who are trying to make things better. If the Republicans in the House and Senate do not get behind the MAGA agenda, I suspect the president will find another way to achieve legislative success - for all Americans. It is the GOPe that has stood in the president's way. Many in the Freedom Caucus, for instance, have shown a measure of compromise. That's how legislation is usually made and they have shown growth that gets us closer. I'd rather extol their view of the bigger picture than indulge the negativity of the doctrinaire.This message has been edited.
