Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., warned Tuesday that congressional Democrats are committed to vexing President Trump at any cost even as their party leadership tamps down talk of possible impeachment proceedings.

“We knew they wouldn’t give up,” Meadows tweeted. “The collusion delusion fell flat, and now reports say House Democrats are preparing to 'ramp up' their investigations of President Trump.”

Following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., urged her caucus on Monday to focus on investigating Trump instead of calling for immediate impeachment proceedings. ...

Meadows, a vocal defender of Trump, says the Democratic Party is too near-sighted in their dislike of Trump to do what’s best for the country.

“They’re doubling down,” Meadows said. “This is a myopic obsession with politically targeting POTUS.”

Meadows, along with fellow Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, have railed against Mueller’s investigation examining Russian interference in the 2016 election, possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, and potential instances of obstruction of justice by the president. Like Trump, they have called it a politically motivated "witch hunt."

The pair have said there is “overwhelming” evidence to suggest the FBI and Department of Justice acted improperly when the investigation was started and have vowed to expose officials who have allegedly worked to undermine Trump.


This is true. The Democrats care about nothing except undermining the results of a legitimate election, because the people actually used democracy to elect someone that the globalist elite did not want.

Do we have democracy or don't we?

If we don't, it's time for the second American Revolution.

1c. Presidents have Executive Privilege, something the Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld and that almost every President has exercised.

3b. Barr is testifying to Congress on May 1st
.


Executive privilege is real but limited as Nixon and others have found out. I doubt even Trump's Supreme Court will allow it to interfere with legit congressional oversight such as the issuing of security clearances to people that have been denied them. And Trump, with blocking Don Mcgahn's testimony, is trying to assert privilege after he already (stupidly) waived it. These positions are extreme, we will see where the courts come down.

As to Barr why not let him testify after his performance in the Mueller report presser he proved himself to be both a capable lair and Trump sycophant. The bigger question is whether Mueller will be allowed to testify. I bet he will be blocked or at least the attempt will be made to block his testimony.

Not what I see.

What I see:

2) A lot of OUTRIGHT LIES about manufacturing. It's still way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way below what it was in 2005.

3) International embarrassment that we would elect such a stupid asshole to be our President, and it looks like an obviously racist reaction to any educated folks, following Obama with such a douchebag.

4) Basically close to zero redeeming features. Will go down as worst U.S. President ever. Total redemption for GWB. GWB looks like a relatively intelligent statesman now.

5) Trump would love nothing more than to get WW3 going with Iran. Total suckup dipshit when it comes to NK.

By light years, the worst PResident ever.

Interesting. Pat seems to support Trump mainly for wanting to control unfettered illegal immigration and stop the abuse of the HxB programs. Sounds to me Pat is pro American worker. Being pro labor USED to be a Democrat position, but now even Democrat stooge labor unions are for unfettered immigration, not caring a wit about the effect of illegals on workers wages. So, if this is "Right Wing," I suppose "Left Wing" must be all out for unfettered illegal immigration. Most of the people presently campaigning for the Dem nomination are certainly banging the unfettered illegal immigration drum. Trump also seems to be the only one doing something about the outsourcing of jobs.

If you take an honest look at the facts, you'll see that Trump isn't doing anything to lower illegal immigration, and previous to TRump, border immigration was brought down to a small fraction of what it was in 2000 to 2005. So Trump's illegal immigration story is pure lies.

The wall was a symbolic con, meant to get the votes of people that don't care about facts or truth. It seems like all it has done is cause a massive uptick of refugee immigration by those wanting to get here before the wall.

Total bullshit. He's a pathological liar that knew what to say to get elected, but it's all BS - and it reflects terribly on us as a country.

You just contradicted yourself. If the massive influx is an attempt to get here before the wall goes up, then they must believe the wall will prevent them from coming in.

The bigger question is whether Mueller will be allowed to testify. I bet he will be blocked or at least the attempt will be made to block his testimony.


So here we go Trump, he is so fucking predictable, now says Mueller shouldn't testify. The guy that spent two years investigating and writing this report shouldn't be allowed to testify to congress about it.


"President Trump tweeted that special counsel Robert Mueller “should not testify on the findings of his probe into Russian election interference, suggesting it was an attempt by Democrats to renew scrutiny on the White House after the release of Mueller’s long-awaited report,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “After spending more than $35,000,000 over a two year period, interviewing 500 people, using 18 Trump Hating Angry Democrats & 49 FBI Agents – all culminating in a more than 400 page Report showing NO COLLUSION – why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller to testify.”

He added: “Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!”

Jonathan Chait: “It is comically obvious that Trump relied on William Barr’s summary to shape a media narrative about the Mueller report that is not reflected in its actual substance. Trump fears a ‘redo,’ i.e., Mueller having the chance to summarize his own work, rather than having his loyal attorney general do it for him.”

Trump is right once again about Mueller’s testimony and the Democrat intentions which are entirely hostile and without honor. But it would be better for optics if he just let this play out without the tweet storm. Let others talk for him for once.

Mueller isn’t going to reveal anything that isn’t already known.

This is likely true, Mueller wont reveal anything that is redacted or isn't available to anyone that wants to take the time to read report or even Mueller's summaries, which is almost no one. But what he may say is going to be factual and not colored by the narrative Trump/Barr want in the media. You know their narrative 6 words: "complete exoneration, no collusion, no obstruction" And as to Russian interference, "I believe Vladdie."

Trump doesn't want a fact based counter narrative from anyone, but particularly the guy whose name is attached to the report. You have to ask yourself if the report is the "complete exoneration" as Trump has blurted and tweeted over and over why not let the guy who wrote it testify?

I would say regarding "feelings" the right and left are both snowflakes; The biggest is Trump himself, what a baby. And exactly the opposite regarding the narrative, the narrative is all the right cares about: from the Clinton murders, Obama's birth certificate, to pizza gate, false flag shootings and on and on and on it's all a narrative of conspiracy and being fucked over by the the libbes; and as of today the now "stolen years" of Trump Presidency, he wants a 2 year extension because of the big bad Dems harassing him with the "witch hunt hoax" waah waah waah, what a pussy.
53   rdm   2019 May 6, 12:01pm  

And as to narratives there is also this:


“More than 370 former federal prosecutors who worked in Republican and Democratic administrations have signed on to a statement asserting special counsel Robert Mueller III’s findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump — if not for the office he held,” the Washington Post reports.

“The statement — signed by myriad former career government employees, as well as high-profile political appointees — offers a rebuttal to Attorney General William Barr’s determination that the evidence Mueller uncovered was ‘not sufficient’ to establish Trump committed a crime.”

Funny - ask those same Prosecutors if they were cool with the Obama DOJ letting Hillary skate by with a secret server, destroying subpoenaed emails, destroying phones with hammers, letting Clinton lawyers sit in on interviews and having the former Attorney General meet with Bill Clinton during the investigation.

The fact that the Washington Post didn't bother to follow up with former federal prosecutors when Comey famously said "no reasonable person would prosecute" speaks volumes of the corruption of our Media and Deep State bureaucracy.

Trump is turning into the perfect unique vessel to destroy both of these corrupt Leftist institutions who have had until recently - a total monopoly in setting the "narrative".
57   clambo   2019 May 6, 1:12pm  

Patrick's comments are correct however there has already been a recent "American Revolution"; it was in November 2016 and produced our president.

This snatching of power away from the elites was totally unexpected by the elite media and their masters; they are still in deep denial and are still fighting the results any way they can.

There will eventually be hell to pay for the use of the government to spy and try to fuck Trump up during the election in 2016; when he gets re-elected in 2020 they better get out their checkbooks to start paying for their expensive lawyers. Comey, Brennan, Clapper and their ilk are going to be under the hot lights someday.

Fact is Trump and his appointed Republicans have been in charge of the DOJ for over 2 years, (and had both houses of congress to boot for 2 years) they could have and still can reopen Clinton's case. Why haven't they? No one, calling for Clinton's prosecution ever answers this question. Certainly it was not because of the President, he would like nothing better than Clinton in the dock. But maybe because Comey was right, she was simply careless and crass but it was a situation no prosecutor would bring charges? This as opposed to the current situation where many prosecutors would bring charges of Obstruction of Justice but for Trump's current position as President.
59   Shaman   2019 May 6, 3:53pm  

No, the reason Clinton will never be prosecuted for these charges is because it would make the entire government look bad. Look terrible in fact. And it would gain nothing other than satisfying some pique. Trump’s AG prosecuting his defeated opponent would be a wretched precedent, and would start the slide to a banana republic. If the loser in a Presidential contest can count on the winner investigating and prosecuting them, then the gloves come off and it becomes a dirty slug fest every time with murder and assassination becoming as common as vote harvesting. It would lead to an awful mess and we are better off with Her being free and none of that happening.

What was written, if you would read rather than rant the word used was that Trump wants (not does) to control the media narrative. There is not a thing wrong with this, it is to be expected. The problem is the lengths he will go to control the narrative include not allowing various people to testify and likely contradict his and Barr's deceptions and distortions. You know like, "total exoneration"

Really, ha ha the guberment can't look much worse. How many cabinet members have resigned or been fired? The EPA is run by a former coal lobbyist, the Secretary of State is fired while taking a shit, and on and on.

So she wasn't prosecuted even though there was a case and even though Trump promised to lock her up, like a thousand times: because of appearances. That sir is rich, very very rich, I do agree that it shouldn't be done for the reasons you give, but this administration doesn't give a shit. More likely they figured they would lose and we know how much Trump likes losing.

Because Republicans don't want to turn our government into a Banana Republic using the government itself to persecute their political rivals. Trump on the other hand will probably be less restrained which I don't think will be a great thing.

Democrats are always making conspiracy shit up (polarizing our nation) to explain their political losses.......Southern Strategy, Bush stole Florida, Russian collusion, voter suppression, Diebold machines, Koch bros!

Also, the article admits that the copyrighting of Trump Escorts is solely to head off IP Infringement in China so nobody can start an Escort Agency named "Trump Escorts", rather than actually opening an out-call service.

If the economy keeps growing at the current spectacular rate under Trump, then the debt to gdp ratio may well decline.
