poor old Fauxahontas Warren

she just discovered the 25th Amendment and wants to invoke it

I guess she doesn't have the brainpower to figure that if they were to do that, we'd do the very same thing with the very next democratic president

which won't be her

so she can keep her feathers ruffled

“Annual wage growth hit a nine-year high in the US last month as the economy created more jobs than expected.

Average hourly earnings rose by 0.4% in August, pushing the annual rate of increase to 2.9% - the fastest pace since June 2009…”

Donald Trump’s Real Crime: Obstruction of Liberalism

It’s become the most unforgivable hate crime.

American Spectator
Ron Ross

As Democrats, the media, and the rest of the left flail from one Trump accusation to another, they have not yet admitted what their real problem with him actually is. The particulars of their complaints are not what bothers them most about the president. For example, it’s not obstruction of justice that offends them — what actually bothers them most is obstruction of liberalism. On that, he is guilty as charged.

Donald Trump poses a real and imminent threat to virtually everything liberals hold dear and much of everything that defines them. By doing so he has made their lives miserable.

It’s not just that Trump is obstructing liberalism, it’s that he’s doing it so efficiently and unconventionally. The list of Trump’s offenses is long and growing. Near the top is the near obliteration of Barack Obama’s legacy. Obama, his policies, and his administration were all cookie-cutter liberalism.

Fortunately, for conservatives, Obama was incompetent and lazy. He frittered away most of his eight years in office. His achievements were not robust. Most of them have not withstood Trump’s onslaught and that onslaught is not over. Erasing the Obama legacy is an enormous step backward for liberalism. It will be very difficult for liberalism to regain its momentum.

Liberal policies and goals are, in their minds, a birthright. Resistance to those policies is blasphemous and sacrilegious. They know that this is a fight for survival. Their fear and panic are understandable. Even their hate is understandable, but it is not excusable.

Liberals have never encountered anything like Trump. They can’t knock him off course. Countless times the Trump despisers have believed he was a goner for sure. We got him this time! It’s almost comical to watch. Nothing they do to stop him works as it’s supposed to. He doesn’t play by their rules. He makes liberals feel impotent. He is relentless; he has no reverse gear. His counter punches pack twice the wallop as the first punch. When criticized, he doubles down. No wonder they’re depressed.

Trump baits his opponents and they always take the bait. They’re obviously not the sharpest knives in the drawer. The left has no sense of humor, which is another way he makes them look foolish.

An amazing thing about Trump is that his behavior is not dictated by other people’s opinions. The importance of that can hardly be exaggerated. That attitude is extremely rare and incredibly empowering. One of the keys to understanding the over-the-top hatred of Trump is this: people who have no backbones hate people who do have backbones.

A column by Wayne Allen Root was titled, “Trump Proves the Torture Works.” Specifically, it works to force confessions. His words and deeds have smoked them out and they can no longer contain themselves. They are showing their true colors.

They are controlled by their hatred. They hate every fiber of his being and everything about him — his personality, his attitude, his appointees, and his supporters. The same things liberals hate about him are the things his supporters love about him.

Because of their hatred, they cannot think straight. They can barely think at all. They can only react; they’ve become reptilian. They are still in a state of shock that he won and that he is president.

Trump totally dominates Democrats thoughts and actions. They are completely obsessed with “resistance.” They have no energy or time left to define or advance their own objectives. He has cast a spell on them and taken control of their brains.

An example is his signature motto, “Make America Great Again.” His opponents cannot get those four words out of their minds. They don’t know how to deal them. They have said, “[America] was never that great” (Andrew Cuomo), and “America was always great” (Meghan McCain).

Another example is Trump’s use of tweets to communicate with his base. The media and the rest of the Trump haters despise his tweets. However, they absolutely cannot ignore them. They read them all and report on many of them. In a very real sense, they act as his publicists. Ironically, it’s one of the reasons he got elected. They are drawn like a moth to a flame.

Tweets have provided Trump with a direct and unfiltered connection with friends and foes alike. That is an incredibly valuable asset and it’s one of the ways he has neutered the media. They are no longer the gatekeepers of his message.

For conservatives this is a fun time to be alive. For the others I would only ask, “Hey, Trump haters, how’s that working for you?”

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"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

I’m reminded of the “zombie fungus” that takes over ants’ bodies to spread their infection to other ants.

The difference of course is that the ants don’t willingly cooperate with the fungus and say, “Yes! I want you to infect me so I become obsessed with you.”

Makes me smile.

I'm very happy to see this. The Democrats and his many enemies in the Republican Party have stymied efforts to get this project going. But he can do it, if necessary, by going around them.

My favorite take-aways from JALLEN’s post:

“Nothing they do to stop him works as it’s supposed to. He doesn’t play by their rules.”

“An amazing thing about Trump is that his behavior is not dictated by other people’s opinions. The importance of that can hardly be exaggerated.”

“Trump totally dominates Democrats thoughts and actions. They are completely obsessed with “resistance.” They have no energy or time left to define or advance their own objectives. He has cast a spell on them and taken control of their brains.”

President Trump is the most amazing politician to appear in decades. Or maybe I should say the most amazing man in the political arena. He’s not actually a politician.

As I’ve observed many times, people claim to hate politicians, but as soon as an elected official doesn’t act like a politician, they hate that even more.

“The U.S. plans to close the Palestine Liberation Organization office in Washington in its latest show of support for the U.S-Israel relationship.

National Security Adviser John Bolton was expected to discuss the plans in a speech Monday, saying the Trump administration wouldn't keep the office open 'when the Palestinians refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel,' according to prepared remarks…”

INTERVIEW - JOE DIGENOVA - legal analyst and former US Attorney to the District of Columbia

Former Trump campaign aide Papadopoulos sentenced to 14 days in jail for lying to FBI in Mueller probe
Joe says the Mueller probe is wrapping up.
Trump expected to declassify Carter Page and Bruce Ohr documents as soon as this week...
JONATHAN SWAN OF AXIOS: President Trump was bluffing when he tweeted that he knows the successor to White House counsel Don McGahn, and instead he is vacillating about new legal leaders as he girds for open warfare with Democrats and Robert Mueller. The newest name on the president's mind: Fannie Mae general counsel Brian Brooks, two sources with direct knowledge tell me.

Those are some pretty specific predictions, Joe. Indictments, declassification of FISA docs, plot to get Gen. Flynn, etc.

Let’s see what happens.
