Liberals want to bring "Democracy back"

Well let's start with the fact that we live in a Republic, rather than a Democracy. A distinction that most liberals tend to ignore. Of course the ability to "bend" reality with ad nauseam groupthink is what keeps the American left from completely losing their collective minds. (and yes, it's outright cognitive dissonance).

I can't stand the bad orange man!!!
The bending of this small reality leads to the larger liberal groupthink concept that the only way to save our "Democracy" (which is actually not a Democracy) is to disregard the very legal and very distinctive election victory of our current President.

In other words, the only way we can save the Democracy that doesn't exist is to remove the legally elected President, because those who didn't vote for him, do not have trust in either the process of our elections, or his ability to be President.

Now the left seems to forget that this occurs in every election. They apparently have forgotten that every four years we have a situation where nearly half of our country would have been more comfortable with the "other" candidate winning the Presidency.

Of course the very essence and point of our country holding elections every two years, Presidential elections every four, having term limits for the top office, is for the outgoing leaders to relinquish their power to the incoming elects, and for the general public to accept those results. The idea of holding, honoring, and ultimately accepting election results is the fundamental thing that makes any Republic (or Democracy) function. Once you decide "not" to follow those fundamental rules, then the entire point of elections ceases to matter.

So the liberal groupthink cognitive dissonance inspired logic is that everything a Republic or Democracy stands for "needs" to be thrown aside (but just in this particular case), apparently as a means to save it. A very curious supposition that is actually quite impossible to understand "without" being afflicted with the very form of derangement syndrome that we all have been witnessing.

But apparently the overwhelming hatred, mind numbing loathing, and delusional self-righteous belief in their own social and intellectual superiority, have provided groupthink liberals with the ability to see this one-time non-acceptance of election results as the very thing that must be done to save the legitimacy of elections moving forward. 

The logic obviously makes zero sense as it stands on its own. It obviously makes zero sense to anyone who voted for Trump. It makes zero sense to a majority of Americans (only 35% of Americans want to see impeachment hearings according to the most recent Quinnipiac poll).

But illogical concepts such as this, making sense to those afflicted with cognitive dissonance and Trump derangement syndrome is exactly how we know that they are afflicted in the first place.

We are a democratic republic.

The relic of the founding father's decision to implement the electoral college system to get the slave state votes to approve the Constitution.

State law superiority has been suspended since Marbury vs Madison and the post civil war amendments.

In our lifetimes we have seen two Presidents elected despite a majority vote of the people.

You have been suffering from cognitive dissonance since Donald Trump was elected. He lies every single day. He governs on his gut feelings.

You used to be somewhat reasonable.

No longer.

In other words, the only way we may be able to save the Democratic Republic that does exist is to remove the legally elected President, because he is incompetent and is a clear and present danger to the Republic for which it stands.

Trump goes after retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal for 'big, dumb mouth'
ABC News KATHERINE FAULDERS,ABC News 3 hours ago


Trump goes after retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal for 'big, dumb mouth' originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

President Donald Trump took on retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal today, saying he "got fired like a dog" and is known for his "big, dumb mouth" -- comments that come on the heels of the general criticizing the president.

“General” McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover!" Trump tweeted.

I know the slurpers here think this is justified because McCyrstal is an ass in their jaded eyes.....

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

This is absolute truth about this situation today "The funny thing is that the people who continually looses their grip on reality and cannot control their rage are lock her up rage at liberalism. Exhibit one is the self proclaimed Coldheartedtruth.





The theory predicted that when people with strongly held beliefs were presented with contrary evidence, rather than change their minds they would seek comfort and “cognitive consonance” by convincing others to support their erroneous views.

You have become a person who believes that anyone who dares to differ with your opinion is mentally ill.

Cognitive dissonance is not a mental disorder. It's how even the most dangerous and murderous dictators get elected.

Trump's admiration of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Ung despite calling him the Rocket man in the speech to the United Nations is evident again that he is the most dangerous President in our lifetimes.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Speaking of taking orders from the President. Scott is again following his orders because of his cognitive dissonance.

His tweet tirade today is more proof. #impeachment is not likely.. but sometimes I have to wonder if we should .

"HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA!" Trump tweeted. He hates the First amendment.

He wrote, "2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!"

The worst Wall Street meltdown in eight decades.

Shutdown Reaches Breaking Point
January 1, 2019 at 1:19 pm EST

Politico: “Many of the departments and agencies hit by the partial shutdown, which began Dec. 22, have reached a breaking point in their ability to go on with minimal disruption. They are running out of carryover cash and time to prep checks for the midmonth pay period. In a very visible sign of the growing impact of the shutdown showdown, 19 Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo will close to the public on Wednesday, their temporary funds exhausted.”

“While paychecks for federal employees went out Friday after a pay period ended on Dec. 22, workers are left wondering whether they will get their next check on Jan. 11. The pay period for that next check ends on Jan. 5. Pay processing varies from agency to agency.”

Barr Once Questioned Value of a Border Wall
January 1, 2019 at 1:17 pm EST

President Trump’s pick for attorney general, William Barr, once questioned the value of a wall along the Mexican border similar to the one the president has advocated, the AP reports.

Said Barr in 1992: “I don’t think it’s necessary. I think that’s overkill to put a barrier from one side of the border to the other. In fact, the problem with illegal immigration across the border is really confined to major metropolitan areas. Illegal immigrants do not cross in the middle of the desert and walk hundreds of miles,” instead choosing more ‘certain specified routes.'”

My "From the Pulpit" article to appear Jan 4 in our local paper, The Pantagraph
--the Rev.Jim Boswell
________________

"Good will and peace on earth," the Christmas angels sang, while Mary rejoiced that "God has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up the poor, and sent the rich away empty handed."

Some thirty years later, Mary's son stood before a Council in Jerusalem who were about to condemn him to a Roman cross, telling them they soon would see "the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven" to bring God's righteous Kingdom to all the earth, a rule in which justice and mercy would prevail, and tears would be wiped from every face, and sorrow and shame and sin -- and even poverty and war and death -- would be no more.

Nearly two thousand years later, we enter the year 2019 asking, Where is that righteous rule, that wonderful new world promised by so many of the great religions and faiths of the earth? All around our globe, we see the rich growing ever richer while the poor grow poorer. We see rampant injustice, inequality and selfishness on the rise as the powerful consolidate and institutionalize their greed, no matter how harmful that may be to others.

Meanwhile, we realize that even the great religions of the world have had their problems and their failings. Christianity must bear the reproach of allowing African slavery and the decimation of Native Americans and the European Holocaust. Hinduism bears the stigma of its cruel and despicable caste system. Islam bears the onus of being too fanatical, too warlike and too violent. All the great faiths of the earth have had their shortcomings, including their shameful suppression of women and of gays.

Perhaps the only hope for us now is a different kind "fundamentalism," one that puts all its emphasis on the basic insistence of so many of our prophets that justice must be for everyone, especially for the powerless.

A great prophet of our own, an American prophet, once stated that government should be "of the people, by the people, and for the people" – not of, by, and for the special interests of the wealthy and the privileged.

Perhaps it is time for us in America to revise our Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag so that every time we say it, we will be reminded that a just and equitable nation cannot exist without government that really is "of, by, and for" the people.

But people like Menstra are the kput'z believe his denials or just don't give a damn because he's a Republican.

The hypocrisy as well as the cognitive and psychological factors involved, and their partisan beliefs they refuse to apply the same standards on Trump is irresponsible because he is a threat to our democratic republic.

Scott. This is unbelievably incorrect.

In other words, the only way we can save the Democracy that doesn't exist is to remove the legally elected President, because those who didn't vote for him, do not have trust in either the process of our elections, or his ability to be President.

The first point actually makes sense. I don't want him removed from office because I didn't vote for him. You have said that you didn't vote for him either.

But his ability is a valid argument. The 25th amendment says that if he is not capable of performing his duties as President, the Cabinet can remove him from office and make Vice President Pence to be the acting President. We both know that this will never happen. But in a normal period of the les decisive moment in time it would at least be under consideration.

California is burning to the ground. The rest of the country us doing quite well.

Master's degree from The University of Trump.


California's economy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom to become the world's fifth largest, according to new federal data made public Friday.

California's gross domestic product rose by $127 billion from 2016 to 2017, surpassing $2.7 trillion, the data said. Meanwhile, the U.K.'s economic output slightly shrank over that time when measured in U.S. dollars, due in part to exchange rate fluctuations.


ADVERTISEMENT
The data demonstrate the sheer immensity of California's economy, home to nearly 40 million people, a thriving technology sector in Silicon Valley, the world's entertainment capital in Hollywood and the nation's salad bowl in the Central Valley agricultural heartland. It also reflects a substantial turnaround since the Great Recession.

All economic sectors except agriculture contributed to California's higher GDP, said Irena Asmundson, chief economist at the California Department of Finance. Financial services and real estate led the pack at $26 billion in growth, followed by the information sector, which includes many technology companies, at $20 billion. Manufacturing was up $10 billion.


California last had the world's fifth largest economy in 2002 but fell as low as 10th in 2012 following the Great Recession. Since then, the most populous U.S. state has added 2 million jobs and grown its GDP by $700 billion.

California's economic output is now surpassed only by the total GDP of the United States, China, Japan and Germany. The state has 12% of the U.S. population but contributed 16% of the country's job growth between 2012 and 2017. Its share of the national economy also grew to 14.2% from 12.8% over that five-year period, according to state economists.

The Trump presidency made a deep descent in December. The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a “sucker” in world affairs all defined his presidency down.

It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination. After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office.

It is not that all of the president’s policies have been misguided. He was right to align U.S. corporate taxes with those of global competitors, to strip out excessive regulations, to crack down on China’s unfair trade practices, to reform criminal justice and to appoint conservative judges. These are policies mainstream Republicans have promoted for years. But policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency.

To a great degree, a presidency shapes the public character of the nation. A president should unite us and inspire us to follow “our better angels.” A president should demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty and integrity, and elevate the national discourse with comity and mutual respect. As a nation, we have been blessed with presidents who have called on the greatness of the American spirit. With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The world is also watching. America has long been looked to for leadership. Our economic and military strength was part of that, of course, but our enduring commitment to principled conduct in foreign relations, and to the rights of all people to freedom and equal justice, was even more esteemed. Trump’s words and actions have caused dismay around the world. In a 2016 Pew Research Center poll, 84 percent of people in Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Sweden believed the American president would “do the right thing in world affairs.” One year later, that number had fallen to 16 percent.


This comes at a very unfortunate time. Several allies in Europe are experiencing political upheaval. Several former Soviet satellite states are rethinking their commitment to democracy. Some Asian nations, such as the Philippines, lean increasingly toward China, which advances to rival our economy and our military. The alternative to U.S. world leadership offered by China and Russia is autocratic, corrupt and brutal.

The world needs American leadership, and it is in America’s interest to provide it. A world led by authoritarian regimes is a world — and an America — with less prosperity, less freedom, less peace.

To reassume our leadership in world politics, we must repair failings in our politics at home. That project begins, of course, with the highest office once again acting to inspire and unite us. It includes political parties promoting policies that strengthen us rather than promote tribalism by exploiting fear and resentment. Our leaders must defend our vital institutions despite their inevitable failings: a free press, the rule of law, strong churches, and responsible corporations and unions.

We must repair our fiscal foundation, setting a course to a balanced budget. We must attract the best talent to America’s service and the best innovators to America’s economy.

America is strongest when our arms are linked with other nations. We want a unified and strong Europe, not a disintegrating union. We want stable relationships with the nations of Asia that strengthen our mutual security and prosperity.

Ending the Shutdown Is Up to McConnell

Stan Collender: “First, in spite of the polls showing that he’s being held responsible for the government shutdown and his pre-shutdown bragging that he would be proud to be blamed for it happening, Donald Trump apparently believes that he’s winning the shutdown fight. He currently has little incentive to do any differently than he’s currently doing.”

“Second, after taking their oaths of office, the new House Democratic majority’s immediate effort this week will be to pass legislation that, if enacted, will reopen the federal government. Therefore, House Democrats also have no reason to do anything differently.”

“Third, the reopen-the-government effort will then fall directly into Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) lap. With the House likely to pass something that almost certainly doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate, it will be up to McConnell to negotiate some kind of deal with either Trump or House Democrats, take the heat for not being able to do either or cause his Republican majority to take more of the blame for not being able to resolve the situation.”

White House Plans Court Fights Over Mueller Report

“A person familiar with the president’s legal team’s thinking told the Daily Beast that Trump’s lawyers expect a complex, multi-faceted process to ensue after Mueller’s team drops its report—potentially involving a legal battle over executive privilege.”

“This depends on what’s in the report, of course. Rudy Giuliani, the face of Trump’s personal legal team, told The Daily Beast he couldn’t speculate about any potential fights until he sees the report.”

Trump Suddenly Got Bad at Twitter

Politico: “The crisp, unpredictable tweets from the start of his presidency have largely become rambling and verbose. His account is weirdly turgid, loaded with ponderous attacks on his perceived enemies and obscure multi-part arguments about his legal situation.”

“Note the defensive posture, the multiple messages jumbled into one, the catchphrases breathlessly piled atop one another. This Trump sounds more like a kid trying to talk his way out of detention.”

Trump to Hold Border Security Briefing

“President Trump invited congressional leaders to the White House for a briefing on border security, the first face-to-face session involving Republicans and Democrats as the partial government shutdown entered its second week,” the Washington Post reports.

“The briefing will occur one day before Democrats take control of the House and Trump gets his first taste of divided government.”

“It was unclear whether the Wednesday session would break the budget impasse — in its 11th day Tuesday — as Trump has demanded billions of dollars for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, and Democrats have rejected his request. Trump had campaigned on a pledge to build the wall at Mexico’s expense, a proposition Mexican officials called ludicrous.”

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Furthermore, I will act as I would with any president, in or out of my party: I will support policies that I believe are in the best interest of the country and my state, and oppose those that are not. I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault. But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.

I remain optimistic about our future. In an innovation age, Americans excel. More importantly, noble instincts live in the hearts of Americans. The people of this great land will eschew the politics of anger and fear if they are summoned to the responsibility by leaders in homes, in churches, in schools, in businesses, in government — who raise our sights and respect the dignity of every child of God — the ideal that is the essence of America.

By David Shepardson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential candidate and incoming U.S. senator from Utah, sharply criticized President Donald Trump and suggested the U.S. leader had caused dismay around the world.

In a Washington Post essay published on Tuesday evening, Romney criticized a number of Trump's actions in December.

"The appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a 'sucker' in world affairs all defined his presidency down," he wrote.

He added that "Trump’s words and actions have caused dismay around the world."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Romney suggested that "on balance, (Trump's) conduct over the past two years ... is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office."

Texas, Florida see big population gains, while New York, Illinois see big losses, Census Bureau data show

The exodus from two of the nation’s biggest Blue States continues, according to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau. Many Red States, meanwhile, continue to gain population, the figures show.

The biggest population losers between July 2017 and July 2018 were the high-tax, Democrat-controlled states of New York and Illinois.

In that one-year span, New York lost more than 48,000 residents, while Illinois’ population declined by more than 45,000, the figures show.

“It’s taxes. It’s corruption. It’s politics,” Mary Miller, a former Illinois resident, told the Chicago Tribune, explaining why she moved to Florida. “And I don’t mean Republicans or Democrats. It’s all of them.”


The question Rat had and that somewhat concerns me is "You can take the people out of New York but can you take New York out of the people?"

In other words will these people who fled the high taxes and corruption in New York will just turn around and vote for the politician in Florida who will increase taxes they fled from?

Fortunately it now takes a super majority in Florida to raise current taxes or implement new taxes. Typically all the liberal Democrats in the news media were against that amendment.

California utility, PG&E, could face murder charges if found liable in deadly wildfires

More Californians are moving from the Golden State, particularly lower-income residents, although even middle-class residents are saying goodbye.The trend is a symptom of the state's housing crunch and, for some, high taxes.Census Bureau data show California lost just over 138,000 people to domestic migration in the 12 months ended in July 2017.Lower-cost states such as Arizona, Texas and Nevada are popular destinations for relocating Californians."

The Divine Right of Democrats to Drool

Many longtime liberals find themselves bewildered at the continued antics of the Democrats at a time when they have a real, albeit small, window of opportunity to demonstrate that they have some acquaintance with the art of responsible governance. Thoughtful people like law professors Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz, who understand that the nation’s polity will be far healthier if both major parties approach real issues seriously, are unable to understand why so few Democrats see that the perpetuation of puerile nihilism driven by unabated hatred of President Trump will end in disaster. Turley puts it thus:

"In this age of rage, voters seem to have no patience, let alone need, for leaders speaking of abstract principles. They want immediate unequivocal action.… For Democrats, that all consuming purpose has led to the abandonment of core unifying values, including many that first drew me to the Democratic Party."

The explanation for this loss of the party’s soul to an unquenchable and wholly emotional desire to destroy Trump is captured in a one-sentence observation by Cicero with which Turley is certainly familiar: “Those who do not know history will forever remain children.” There is very little chance that the kindergartners of the Democratic resistance would recognize Turley’s allusion to the fabled “Days of Rage.” Nor do they grasp that their collective tantrum and lurch to the left is reminiscent of that which eventually produced the suicidal Democratic nomination of George McGovern and President Nixon’s 1972 landslide.

[...]

If the Democrats accomplish nothing during the next two years beyond a protracted and almost certainly doomed attempt to remove a duly elected President — and that is how at least half the voters see him — they will have revealed to their own voters that they can’t deliver on impeachment while once again demonstrating to the rest of us that they are incapable of governing responsibly. That won’t sell well in 2020.

interesting.

the left demands impeachment yet hasn't offered up a criminal basis for it.

the truly insane demand a 25th amendment remedy, but if the president actually exhibited the behavior that would warrant this, it would've been done already by people far more intelligent and qualified than those crying for it. this one always struck me as the left and it's assorted idiots like alky looking into the mirror. psychological projection on stilts.

"his taxes! yeah, that's it! his taxes!"

uh, you mean to tell me that the IRS hasn't been scrutinizing this guy's taxes since basically forever? a return so massive that it takes an army of accountants and tax attorney's to prepare? i'd be willing to bet that trump's companies have been under a state of perpetual audit since he took over from his father. he's had no shortage of political enemies since then.

Scott, i knew the moment i saw this post go up it would trigger an alky-lanche of absolute fucking idiocy. as predictable as death, taxes, and the sun rising in the east.

absolutely, and it wasn't really a question as much as a statement.

obviously i can only speak for NY, but you can be certain that the assholes we're shipping to other states are bound and determined to do to their destination state what they've done to NY. what's particularly galling is that many of those fleeing are those directly responsible for NY's decline - state employees. these worthless POS's spend 30 years on the public tit, and then flee to FL with a pension that is free of state income tax. so they wreck the place, and don't even give those who remain the benefit of their pension dollars flowing through the NY economy.

now that democrats control the entire NY state government expect the exodus to accelerate.

VDH absolutely nails his native state of california:

Requiem

So why is California a blue state? In part, because its conservative base fled, a future blue-state constituency arrived, and both the very wealthy and the very poor, albeit for quite different reasons, preferred a high-tax, big-government redistributionist state government.

It is easy to envision California largely in a tripartite fashion. One population has wealth and privilege enough to create a garden of Eden, with the proviso that it need not experience firsthand any downsides of its envisioned utopia.

The second population is largely that of first- and second-generation immigrants, millions of them without legality, and many of them poor and dependent on generous state entitlements and the non-enforcement of myriads of rules, and regulations.

Then there is the third zombie population: those who want to, or in fact are preparing to, follow the millions who left. They’re convinced that they lack the connections and clout of the wealthy that would let them navigate around the new regulatory morass, and they pay more in taxes than they receive in state services. In the end, the diminishing middle lacks the romance of the distant poor and the panache of the coastal affluent.

But California is explained not only by sociology but also by psychology. There is a new mentality in which the virtue-signaling elite enjoy the cheap labor of the poor and do not much care about the poor’s inability to access reasonably priced gasoline and electrical power, safe neighborhoods, and quality schools and infrastructure. From their secure keeps, they square that circle by offering generous entitlements, open borders, and progressive empathy — and lots of self-righteous bumper-sticker rhetoric.

At least for now.

now why would anyone want to leave NY?


New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday took a swipe at President Trump's immigration policies as he granted clemency to 29 people, including some immigrants who were facing deportation.

According to reports, Cuomo (D) issued pardons to 22 immigrants who, because mainly of drug-related convictions, could have been deported or blocked from citizenship.

He also commuted the sentences of seven other individuals, including four for murder and three for armed robbery.

The 25th or is not impeachment. I stated earlier that while I don't advocate impeachment. But given his increasingly recent behavior, even some Republicans of are beginning to consider that option.

Well Roger... almost nobody is talking about removing the President for being "incapable" of doing his job. He's been President for two years now and seems quite capable of performing his job. More to the point, he seems quite capable of continuing to "trigger" you into hysteria.

The fact is that the 25th amendment is not a "recall" or something that can be wielded like a vote of "no confidence". It expressly is designed to provide a chain of succession when the President is "incapable" of being President.

The fact that you don't understand the difference..

Btw... I never specifically stated "impeachment". I stated that you would like to have him "removed". Wouldn't using the 25th amendment to declare him "incapable" of performing the duties of the job get him "removed".

There was no specific "difference" implied. Just another example of you not being able to even read and understand the simple words I wrote. Your brain automatically reprograms "removed" into "impeached" which apparently allows you an out?

Might be cognitive dissonance. Might me senility. Might be that you are on the bottle again.

How the mentally disabled get trolled

Gwynne was the science editor of Newsweek 39 years ago when he pulled together some interviews from scientists and wrote a nine-paragraph story about how the planet was getting cooler.
Ever since, Gwynne's "global cooling" story – and a similar Time Magazine piece – have been brandished gleefully by those who say it shows global warming is not happening, or at least that scientists – and often journalists – don't know what they are talking about.

jetting around in gulfstreams and lears, tooling around in 3/4 ton suburbans, piloting mega-yachts and living in 11,000 sq ft. mansions is not very "convincing."

just a few years ago towards the end of 0linsky's regime, skeets and bill nye the douchebag guy hopped aboard AssClown 1 for the expressed purpose of ...

flying to florida

making a statement about warmyl cooling

and flying home.

so we have several hundred thousand tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere so a couple of clowns could lecture the rest of us about the need to reduce CO2 emissions.

and you cannot understand why climate change skeptics like me exist.

and this is what ol rog and every other liberal in the country has not paused to consider - the law of unintended consequences.

by carrying on like a pack of toddlers throwing a temper tantrum they could be setting a precedent.

someday we will elect a democrat president. and if we are to follow the precedent set by "the resistance" then a special independent counsel must be appointed on inauguration day. and the incoming president must be investigated, harassed, spied upon, and otherwise fucked with just because...

well, just because.

just because we on the right refuse to accept the result of a legal and fair election.

and if we really want to fuck with this new democrat president we need to begin spying on this person the day they announce their run.

so in the case of fauxcohantas that needs to start now.
