50 reasons why 70 millions dollars (plus) was raised by small donations after the Trump verdict.

 

I have a blog post perculating about the Trump verdict, it ain't done, I have been working killer Overtime, I ain't complaining, but it does affect my ability to blog.  But I will say this...Alvan Bragg got Trump Elected.  all the democrats that were estactic with orgasmic glee about the verdict, will be screaming and rioting after the elections.   Also another observations, the same people that say that the "courts have spoken, the system works....called Kyle Rittenhouse a murderer even after his verdict....funny that...  Well anyway...I saw this on "Bongino Reports" while I was taking a break, I went to his site after "Drudge" jumped the shark.

If you aren’t stunned by the $70 million+ in "small dollar" campaign contributions to the campaign of former President Donald Trump that were made in the first 72 hours after the verdicts in his Manhattan trial, then you don’t know much about politics, because nothing like this sort of fundraising weekend has ever happened before.

Skeptical about the relative scale of this Krakatoa of contributions? Don’t believe me. Believe the Democrats. Here’s the first paragraph from a March 2024 Washington Post report on the "three presidents" gala at Radio City Music Hall: "In a show of force his campaign is calling the ‘most successful political fundraiser in American history,’ President Biden raised more than $25 million during a New York event Thursday featuring former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton."

According to Eric Trump, who appeared this past weekend on "Sunday Morning Futures Maria Bartiromo," the record-setting flood of small dollar donations was accompanied by big donations which, when included with the small donors, totaled over $200 million in donations to the Trump campaign in the three days following the verdicts.

TRUMP'S CRIMINAL CONVICTION IS SPURRING BIG-DOLLAR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AS SON TOUTS RECORD 24-HOUR HAUL

What that mountain of new money tells us is that the verdicts constituted a "last straw" for hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters, old and new. Enormous numbers of ordinary Americans were disgusted enough with the verdicts to send Trump money to press forward with his campaign.

Why? There are as many motives as there are donors, but having spoken with a dozen contributors —mostly new donors— on my radio show Monday, their responses confirmed for me my hunch that the general feeling at large in at least half the country is that the New York trial and convictions were yet another abuse of power done in order to "get Trump." Another abuse of power in a long-running drama that became, for them, the proverbial "last straw."

Want a list of the previous straws? Forgive the shorthand, but a column has limits and most folks will instantly recall what these short notations mean. Paul Simon once recorded a hit song "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." Here are 50 reasons why people may have reached a new level of disgust late Thursday afternoon through Sunday morning and contributed to the various campaign websites. Each of these "straws" brings consciously to mind a discrete abuse of power since Trump came down the escalator in 2015, and the eruption of the contributions volcano is evidence that the outrage is real and widespread:

1. Hillary’s private server, the rules it violated and the threat to national security it posed, and no prosecution for it.
2. Hillary’s lawyers’ deletion of half of her emails and no prosecution for that.
3. Hillary’s use of Bleach Bit and hammers and again no prosecution.
4. Former FBI Director James Comey’s "nothing to see here" conclusion on the Clinton emails on REP. Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
5. The Steele Dossier.
6. Marc Elias and his then law firm Perkins Coie and their roles in the 2016 campaign, which included retaining Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to "conduct the research" and create the Steele dossier.
7. The leak of the Steele dossier to Mother Jones and other media outlets
8. The meeting (ambush?) of President-elect Trump by then-CIA Director Brennan, then-FBI Director Comey and then-DNI Director Clapper at Trump Tower in January 2017, at the conclusion of which Comey briefed the president-elect on the most salacious parts of the dossier. (The news that Comey had done so almost immediately leaked.)
9. The recusal by Attorney General Jeff Sessions from any matter involving the Trump 2016 campaign.
10. Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein naming Robert S. Mueller III to serve as Special Counsel to oversee the investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters.
11. The team of hyper-partisan prosecutors assembled by Mueller
12. The revelations from the Peter Strzok-Lisa Page messages about the corruption atop the FBI
13. The 22 months Mueller and his attack pack took to find…nothing.
14. The two thick volumes of "Mueller report" intended to cover the dry holes Team Mueller had drilled.
15. The refusal by Team Mueller to send to then-Attorney General William Barr a version of the report that Barr requested, a version redacted of classified information so that it could immediately be published, which the Mueller team did not do.
16. The smear of Barr that he was hiding the report and then the smear of Barr that his conclusion that there was no obstruction was somehow flawed.
17. The leak of the Trump phone call with Ukraine President Zelensky.
18. The manufacture of Impeachment One based on that call.
19. The lies of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., throughout the Mueller investigation and then throughout the impeachment.
20. The changes in voting rules because of COVID. 
21. The "Zuckerbucks" and "Zuckerboxes."
22. The Commission on Presidential Debates 2020 selection of moderators and its unilateral decision to cancel one of the debates.
23. The Hunter Biden laptop and the censoring of most stories about it when the New York Post got the scoop.
24. The letter from "51 former senior intelligence officials" concluding that the emails on Biden’s laptop "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."
25. The lawlessness of the summer of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd (and the refusal to call out that protestors were violating COVID guidelines even as churches, beaches  and playgrounds were closed.)
26. The second impeachment after the 1/6 riot at the Capitol, an effort undertaken even as the transition to President Biden in two weeks would obviously prevent a timely proceeding with even minimal attention to the process due any official much less the outgoing president.
27. The set-up by the FBI of the meeting with Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (USA, ret.) and his subsequent prosecution.
28. The conduct not just of Comey, Page and Strzok but also of the Bureau’s Andrew McCabe and James Baker.
29. The manipulation of the membership of House Select Committee on 1/6 by then-Speaker Pelosi who vetoed future Indiana Senator Jim Banks from becoming the ranking minority member and proceeded to name two anti-Trump Republicans to the show trial "committee." The entire charade reflected this original breach of trust with voters, rigging the proceedings to run as they did.
30. The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
31. The appointment of Jack Smith as Special Counsel (despite the Supreme Court having tossed his prosecution and conviction of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell).
32. The appointment of a different Special Counsel, Robert Hur, to President Biden’s classified documents case and the obviously different standard for prosecution applied to Biden than was applied to Trump.
33. The conduct of and civil case against Trump brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
34. The conduct of New York judge Arthur Engoron during that civil proceeding, and his outrageous setting of the bond.
35. The E. Jean Carroll proceedings and verdicts.
36. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg campaigning for office on the promise of getting Trump.
37. Bragg filing an indictment against Trump resurrecting time-barred misdemeanors but without specifying in the indictment the "second crime" that turned those time-barred misdemeanors into felonies ripe for prosecution.
38. Trial court judge Juan Merchan’s symbolic contributions to the 2020 Joe Biden campaign and two hard left causes —in contravention of black letter New York law governing judicial conduct— and Merchan’s refusal to recuse himself from the Trump trial.
39. Merchan’s anti-Trump rulings on many, many issues ranging from admitting plea bargains with Michael Cohen and David Pecker that the defense objected to, to refusing to allow former Federal Elections Commission Chair Professor Brad Smith testify to the extent of his knowledge, rulings which telegraphed the judge’s push for a conviction.
40. The blistering by Merchan of defense witness Robert Costello and the judge’s interference with Costello’s testimony.
41. The failure of the judge to clearly instruct on the state of mind "the second crime" would require.
42. The jury not declaring what the "second crime" was on the verdict paper.
43. The conduct of Judge Tanya Chutkan in attempting to rush a trial in federal district court in D.C.
44. The gag order on Trump issued by trial judge Engoron in the case brought by James.
45. The gag order on Trump issued by trial Judge Chutkin in the case brought by Smith in D.C.
46. The gag order on Trump issued by Merchan.
47. The four-days-a-week of trial in the spring of the election year, a schedule requiring Trump to be in a Manhattan court room for six weeks, thus interfering with the presidential campaign
48. The conduct of both Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fanni Willis and her lover and co-counsel Nathan Wade.
49. The refusal of all of these prosecutors and judges to wait on the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity from criminal proceedings based on acts taken while president.
50. Arizona’s Democratic State Attorney General Kris Mayes’ and her grand jury’s indictment of 18 people in an election interference case filed in late April.

There is much more, such as the Colorado and Maine efforts to toss Trump off the ballot, but the Supreme Court acted with dispatch and ruled correctly on those specific abuses of power, so while they are part of the mosaic of abuses of law and process, they have at least been resolved finally and fully (and in Trump’s favor).

To all of the above, add the legacy media’s deep and never-ending bias in coverage of each of the listed instances as an aggravating factor in the anger felt across the country. Various Americans have different bits and pieces of this litany of perceived abuses of power stored in their memory banks. When the jury quickly voted to convict, it appears various combinations of the concerns that have accumulated since 2015 unleashed an outpouring of support for the former president in the only way these contributors knew how to signal —in the same fashion Merchan signaled he was with Biden and against Trump: With a small indeed symbolic donation to to the various campaign websites.

Everyone with a functioning brain should know what Merchan was signaling with his illegal contributions. Everyone who can figure that out can also figure out what this cash avalanche into Trump’s coffers means. And if Merchan sentences Trump to jail time —as I fully expect he will because I don’t think his case of Trump Derangement Syndrome has fully run its course yet— another tidal wave of tens and twenties and more will hit the Trump campaign bank accounts.

Why? Because America is a country committed in hundreds of ways to fair play. Every single game played on every field or on every card table is run by rules that don’t change, or it isn’t a fair game. We don’t like cheaters, and we despise people who abuse their authority, whether at the DMV counter or during a police stop or when pursuing, to the point of ridiculous, prosecution of a former (and now I think likely) future president.

"How the FBI and DOJ Undermined Themselves"

 I am a contributor on Quora and also follow several people, one is a guy named "Anthony Cady", Well I shamelessly cut and pasted his answer to some leftie that wanted examples of how biased the DOJ was to the people on the right side of the political aisle.  I thought it was "Nickworthy"

    The meme came from my "stash" on my computer.

The DOJ and FBI have undermined themselves.

 


 

 

The Mueller report found no collusion. The FBI knew there was no collusion before Mueller was appointed but continued to investigate and got a Mueller appointment anyway because Comey and the gang didn’t like Trump.

The Durham report states that the Mueller investigation never should have taken place and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation had no legal foundation for it to have continued.

An FBI lawyer plead guilty to altering an e-mail from the CIA to say the opposite of what the CIA actually said in order to justify continuing warrants on a Trump campaign staffer. Something that impacted an election and hampered a Presidency and the guy didn’t even lose his law license.

The Obama White House was briefed by the CIA that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was going to try and tie Trump to Russia to distract from her e-mails, yet, the FBI still pursued the false allegations.

The FBI cancelled an investigation of Russian money being poured into the Clinton foundation, and gave Clinton and her campaign defensive briefings, yet never did the same for Trump showing a clear double standard.

James Comey, FBI director leaked classified material to a friend which later showed up in the press.

The FBI was found to have violated the FISA process several times in the Trump Russia investigation.

The FBI ignored warnings from British intel that collusion was nonsense to the point British Intel flat out refuse to help the FBI, and the FBI ignored attempts by British intel to completely distance themselves from Christopher Steele who was basically persona non grata in British intel circles. MI-6 were incredulous when the FBI opened an investigation based on the Papadapoulos-Downer bar conversation as there was evidence of nothing in that meeting, and they were equally baffled by the so-called evidence that the FBI paid Stephan Halpar for which the British said was a whole lot of resources used to gather nothing incriminating.

The inspector General found the FBI violated the FISA process in far more cases than the Trump Russia investigation. They also found violations where FBI agents have recieved gifts and money from the press in exchange for leaks. Almost all have only benefitted one side of the political aisle.

A US. Attorney has just resigned from the DOJ for attending Biden fundraisers, and participating in an election campaign in which she leaked confidential DOJ information in order to make it appear the opponent of her backed candidate was under investigation. She continued to leak confidential info after the opponent won an election in order to damage that person in the general election. She initially lied to investigators until they found texts that proved her guilt. She faces no charges.

Despite responding to the release of the Durham Report by saying changes have already been made, Just yesterday the FISA court said the FBI conducted illegal warrantless searchs through NSA databases almost 300,000 times including searchs of people involved with Jan 6th, and George Floyd protests.

The DOJ has been caught trying to justify use of terrorism laws to target parents who voice dissenting opinions to school boards.

Despite little effort to hold pro-choice vandals accountable the FBI used a tactical team to raid a pro-life activist’s home who would have simply turned himself in. That guy was acquitted at trial.

Former members of the intel community that signed a letter saying that Hunter’s laptop bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign have admitted they did so to help Biden win an election, but worse, an active member of the CIA helped circulate it and claimed the CIA itself was involved in verifying just that when they did not.

The FBI and DOJ continue to stonewall Congressional requests and subpeonas for information which isn’t even classified.

These are facts that show the FBI, DOJ, and Intel community has continually abused their powers, have shown double standards based on politics, have completely undermined themselves with little to no consequence, and they feel entitled to continue because most of the press has been in on it all.

An Open Memorandum to BHO

I snagged this from Centipede nation.  This "Obamagate" has the potential of exploding right before the 2020 election, and marring the democrats.  Never before has such an brazen attempt been made to hamstring an incoming administration.  It makes the Clinton administration pillaging of the white house and gluing the "w" on the keyboards look like a childs tantrum...which it was.  This was a methodical attempt to block and hamstring and set up a coup from the inside from holdovers as revenge for beating Felonia Von Pantsuit who was the designated successor for the annointed one...How dare the hated cheeto disrupt the globalization plans that have been in the works for the past 20 years since the fall of the Soviet Union.  I have another post involving the F.B.I dropping Tomorrow.  My Dad knows a lot of FBI agents and they are pissed about the politics and shenanigans being pulled.  It seems once you go higher than SAC, only people that are deemed "politically reliable" are promoted and the rank and file are rightly pissed off because they take their oath seriously "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity means something to them, but not to the people breathing the rarefied air in DC where the political decisions are made.  I have to expand on this, the stuff going is stuff that goes on with banana republics and the occasional coups. We have the peaceful transfer of power every 4 to 8 years, our founders set it up this way as a safety valve to prevent strongman dictatorships from getting set up and giving the people, remember us, we the People we consent to be governed, it keeps us engaged and the safety valve taking the pressure off so people stay involved and not think about the last box of the political system.

Re: Your Failure to Find Precedent for Flynn Dismissal
Regarding the decision of the Department of Justice to dismiss with prejudice the information filed against General Flynn and the concern you expressed in your phone call with alumni: “that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.”
Apparently, you need more help than you realize as your statement is entirely false. However it does explain the damage to the Rule of Law you allowed throughout your administration.
First, General Flynn was not charged with perjury—which requires a material false statement made under oath with intent to deceive. 1 A perjury prosecution would have been appropriate and the Rule of Law applied if the Justice Department prosecuted your former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for his multiple lies under oath in a leak investigation.
McCabe lied repeatedly under oath in fully recorded and transcribed interviews with the Inspector General for the DOJ. He was fully informed of the purpose of the interview and he had had the benefit of counsel. He knew he was in trouble. McCabe even lied about lying—and to his own agents which took their investigation on a “wild-goose-chase” because McCabe was himself the source of the leak they were investigating. Attorney General Barr declined to prosecute McCabe for these offenses.
Under the Rule of Law, after declining McCabe’s perjury prosecution, there are no circumstances pursuant to which DOJ could continue to prosecute General Flynn who was not warned, not under oath, had no counsel, and whose statements were not only not recorded, but falsified by the agents.
Second, it would seem your “wingman” Eric Holder is missing a step these days at Covington & Burling LLP. Indelibly marked in his memory (and one might think, yours) should be his Motion to Dismiss the multi-count jury verdict of guilty and the entire case against former United States Senator Ted Stevens. Within weeks of Mr. Holder becoming Attorney General, he had to move to dismiss the Stevens prosecution in the interest of justice for the same reasons the Justice Department did against General Flynn—egregious government misconduct by prosecutors who hid evidence and made up purported crimes.
As horrifying as the facts of the Stevens case were, they pale in comparison to the targeted setup, framing, and prosecution of a newly elected President’s National Security Advisor and the shocking facts that surround it. This case was an assault on the heart of liberty— our cherished system of self-government and the right of citizens to choose their President.
Third, the inability of “anybody” in your alumni association to find “anybody who has been charged [with anything] just getting off scot-free” would be laughable were it not so pathetic.
Many of your alum are featured prominently in the non-fiction legal thriller published in 2014: Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice. A national best-seller, it focuses on the egregious misconduct of your longest serving White House Counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler; your counter-terrorism advisor Lisa Monaco; Loretta Lynch’s DAG for the Criminal Division Leslie Caldwell; and Mueller protégé Andrew Weissmann. While they worked as federal prosecutors on the Enron Task Force—under the purported supervision of Christopher Wray, they destroyed Arthur Andersen LLP and its 85,000 jobs; sent four Merrill Lynch executives to prison on an indictment that criminalized an innocent business transaction and hid the evidence that showed they were innocent for six years. Both cases were reversed on appeal for their over-criminalization and misconduct. Indeed, Andersen was reversed by a unanimous Supreme Court.
Fourth, even if your many alumni don’t remember multiple reversals and cases that had to be reversed or dismissed for their own misconduct, we’re guessing Judge Emmet Sullivan will remember tossing the Stevens case. Judge Sullivan is the judicial hero of Licensed to Lie. It is that case and the resulting 500-page report of Henry Schuelke that caused Judge Sullivan to enter the strong Brady order the Mueller prosecutors violated repeatedly in the Flynn prosecution.
Fifth, your alumni Weissmann and Ruemmler are no strangers to guilty pleas being tossed. At least two guilty pleas they coerced by threats against defendants in Houston had to be thrown out—again for reasons like those here. The defendants “got off scot- free” because—like General Flynn—your alumni had concocted the charges and terrorized them into pleading guilty to “offenses” that were not crimes. Andersen partner David Duncan even testified for the government against Andersen in its trial, but his plea had to be vacated. Enron Broadband defendant Christopher Calger had his plea thrown out also.
Sixth, should further edification be necessary, see Why Innocent People Plead Guilty, written by federal Judge Jed Rakoff (a Clinton appointment) in 2014. Innocent people are forced to plead guilty by abusive prosecutors with painful frequency. The Mueller special counsel operation led by Andrew Weissmann and Weissmann “wannabes” specialize in prosecutorial terrorist tactics repulsive to everything “justice” is supposed to mean and designed to intimidate their targets into pleading guilty and punishing them with the process and financial ruin.
Most important, in truth, General Flynn was honest with the FBI agents. They knew he was—and briefed that to McCabe and others three different times. At McCabe’s directions, Agent Strzok and McCabe’s “Special Counsel” Lisa Page, altered the 302 to create statements Weissmann, Mueller, Van Grack, and Zainab Ahmad could assert were false. Only the FBI agents lied—and falsified documents. The crimes are theirs alone.
Seventh, the federal circuit in which you reside threw out a Section 1001 case for a legal failure much less egregious than those in General Flynn’s case. United States v. Safavian, 528 F.3d 957 (D.C. Cir. 2008). Safavian sought advice from his agency’s ethics board and didn’t give them all the relevant info. The jury convicted him on the theory it was a 1001 violation to conceal the info from the government ethics board. The court disagreed: “As Safavian argues and as the government agrees, there must be a legal duty to disclose in order for there to be a concealment offense in violation of § 1001(a)(1), yet the government failed to identify a legal disclosure duty except by reference to vague standards of conduct for government employees.” General Flynn did not even know he was the subject of an investigation—and in truth, he was not. The only crimes here were by your alumni in the FBI, White House, intelligence community, and DOJ.
These examples are obvious and well-known. Perhaps you will soon find some remarkably good “jailhouse lawyers” to consult for further assistance on your search for precedent.
Finally, your “leaked” comments on the call with your alumni further evinces your extraordinary obsession with destroying a distinguished veteran of the United States Army who has defended this country “from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” with the highest honor for thirty-three years.
————————————————————————————–
1 As a “constitutional lawyer,” surely you recall that perjury (or false statements) also require intent to deceive. In Bronston v. United States, 409 U.S. 352 (1973), the Supreme Court reversed a conviction of perjury. In Bronston, the defendant’s answer was a truthful statement, but not directly responsive to the question and ultimately misled federal authorities. The Court determined: “A jury should not be permitted to engage in conjecture whether an unresponsive answer, true and complete on its face, was intended to mislead or divert the examiner; the state of mind of the witness is relevant only to the extent that it bears on whether “he does not believe [his answer] to be true.” To hold otherwise would be to inject a new and confusing element into the adversary testimonial system we know.” Id. at 359. The FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn specifically noted that his answers were true or he believed his answers to be true. Furthermore, General Flynn knew and remarked they had transcripts of his conversations.

Russia Probe Grand Jury looks like a "Black Lives Matter Rally"

I saw this surfing on "Drudge" and read the article.  I always had doubts of the impartiality of the Grand Jury.  Especially if the Jury Pool was from the DC area.  An area especially hostile to President Trump.


The federal grand jury handing down indictments for special counsel Robert Mueller doesn’t appear to include any supporters of President Donald Trump, according to one witness who recently testified before the panel.

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” my source said. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley [Calif.]”
Of the 20 jurors, 11 are African-Americans and two were wearing “peace T-shirts,” the witness said. “There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.” Mueller was not present.
The Washington, DC, grand jury, which meets only on Fridays, handed down its first indictments in October, charging Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, and his partner Rick Gates with money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents. The two are pleading not guilty.
Mueller’s team is expected to bring more charges against Manafort relating to his work on behalf of the Ukrainian government in the years before Trump became a candidate.
Sol Wachtler, the former chief judge in New York, once called for abolishing grand juries because they are so easily manipulated that they would “indict a ham sandwich.”
My source said, “That room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake.”

"Hitler discovers that Mueller knows nothing....." Parody video

I ran across this on another blog, I was looking for another "Hitler Parody" for my post yesterday and couldn't find one on "Youtube" but this one is comedic gold, LOL


Hitler Discovers Robert Mueller Knows Nothing: In the bunker, the Resistance learns the truth about Robert Mueller's testimony.

   I tried to put the actual video on my blog and was unsuccessful.

I don't have it in me......

I have been really busy doing real world stuff and haven't been able to blog like I want.  I blog because I like it and usually I can sling a sentence or two.       Mostly.....

....Usually                                                                                    From the Movie "Aliens"

But I don't have it in me...

There is so much that I want to talk about...Like last week on our Holy Day, ISIS decided to blow up a bunch of Christians at several churches and at several hotels.  Killing over 300 people and wounding many more...
Apparently the "Religion of Peace" decided to strike,  Various talking heads besides unable to mention the word "muslim bomber" but used the word "extremist" and stated that a bunch of "Easter Worshippers" were blown up.  It is like they got a memo at the same time that NOT to use the word "Christian" because it changes the optics but to use the word "Easter Worshippers"....Really?
When the ChristChurch shootings happened in New Zealand, the media and everyone else tripped over themselves condemning the attack standing in solidarity with "our Muslim Brothers" against hate, it fit the narrative because the shooter was a white guy with an AR-15, something the media loves to crow about when it happens because...well  "White guys...bad" is the narrative.  For several weeks we had people tweeting support for the muslim community, we had the New Zealand president wearing a hajib and pushing gun control with a vengeance.
Well compare it to the reaction of Sri Lanka, the media is pretty quiet, and it has quickly fallen off the radar and teleprompters of the various news agencies....Like it was planned....Compare to the weeks of posturing, and lecturing we got about the New Zealand shooting, and the 50 people killed.  To the over 300 people killed and many more wounded by suicide bombers. and the reaction is totally different...compare the tweets of President Obama and Hillary Clinton to the ChristChurch shooting and the Sri Lanka bombings....
And to prove that I ain't picking on President Obama by himself....
This is the 2008, and 2016 candidate for President Hillary Clinton...
I'm not able to find her tweet by itself, only was is for those that screenshot it.  I couldn't find it on "google and "Duck,Duck,Go"   What I am saying is that killing people over their religion is wrong period...but somehow one is held to a higher standard than another and that is the scary part.
     The Talking heads say that the Sri Lanka bombings is in retaliation for the ChristChurch shootings....I Venomously disagree, DAESH has a habit of planning attacks for months in advance and this didn't strike me as a hastily thrown together attack, they are terrorist but they are cunning terrorist and half planned half assed attacks isn't their M.O.  I believe that this attack was planned months in advance to defray from the Syria debacle where they are suffering defeat at the hands of the coalition.  This is them proving that they are not down and out and the talking heads mentioning ChristChurch is deflecting blame from DAESH where it belongs because they can't blame muslims for "misbehaving" back to the ChristChurch shooting because it fits the narrative that only white dudes are terrorist. ... But I don't have it in me....

     Now to the Notre Dame fire....I was dismayed to see the 900 year old church go up in flames, the history and the craftsmanship that went into that building.  They were able to save a lot of the treasure and other things that are a part of the history of the Cathedral.  People intermediately pledged money to rebuild the church and a bunch of the French mega millionaires pledged large suns of money to get it fixed.    My facebook feed filled up with the most self righteous tripe I have ever seen,
 This kind of crap pisses me off, what kind of self righteous drivel is this?  Nobody says shit when they build another stadium for some professional ball club spending millions of taxpayer dollars to help fund it.  But they immediately start preaching about giving the money to the poor and impoverished....Let me give you idiots a clue...once the money is given to the "Poor" and "World Poverty", the money is GONE and the poor and world poverty is still there because it is an endemic condition and people will always be poor and there is nothing to show for the money except some of the NGO and 3rd world dictators would have some more money in their swiss bank accounts.  Notre Dame is a symbol of over 800 years of history and long after we are gone it will still be there, as a symbol kinda like the pyramids....could you imagine one of the Egyptian Pharoh's dealing with this?   People who style themselves as "woke" are total idiots and have totally lobotomized their logic though processes for "It feelz good",   but I don't have it in me.....

      The Mueller report was released over a week ago and for over a week my facebook feed from the never trumpers and hardcore Democrats were silent as they saw their dreams of replacing "The Hated Cheeto Man" via the "Collusion" from the Mueller report went up in smoke.....
Now they are trying to cherry pick certain data from the redacted Mueller report to get President Trump on "Obstruction of Justice".  The various democratic committee's in the house are working overtime trying to get President Trump's tax records so they can cruise through them looking for something so they can charge him with some crime.  They are looking for anything to push an "impeachment" before the 2020 election.   Personally with the exception of the hardcore hacks and other democrats, everyone else is tired of this incessant drumbeat of "Impeach 45" that the democrats and the media keep pushing and I believe that this will come to bite the democrats hard in the 2020 elections.    But I don't have it in me.....

Well "Uncle" Joe Biden has formally thrown his hat in the ring for the 2020 election joining all the other clown cars driven by the other candidates with the only unifying thread on all of them is the usual "Orange man Bad"  and how much "Free Stuff" they can give to the base for their votes...
I have heard "reparations" from Kamila I slept my way to the top Harris, she also talked about using the same idea that Obama did"I will draft an executive order outlawing Guns", Well Obama did that executive order thing to pass policies and Trump rolled them back when he got elected

 We have Elizabeth 1024th indian  Warren talking about making college free.  As I recall, besides this screwing the taxpayers on the irresponsibility of the people borrowing the money to pay for college and their lifestyle now want their debt "forgiven"...WTF?   They borrow money, sign their name on the dotted line and now wants someone else to pay for it?  What about those people that didn't go to college, and have bills and mortgages to pay? they still have to pay for their stuff.  This is a sop to the college student that overwhelming wants socialism because it is "Fair".  Really well guess what sport....Life ain't fair, the sooner you figure that out before the kid from China or India cleans your clock because they don't have their head shoved up their ass.  And don't get me going on the Educational Industrial complex that for 20 years had the High School Guidance councilors tell all the kids in high schools, "you have to go to college" to have a career even the kids that could have gone into "trade School" and done much better instead of going for several semesters, having the debt and having to drop because the college wasn't for them.  And having the Federal Government guarantee loans and having the student unable to use the bankruptcy courts to get out of the loans was like an ATM for the colleges, and they started raising their rates far in excess of inflation because they have guaranteed money coming in...what can go wrong? We Have Pete " the new flavor" Buttepeg,  we have Corey "I am Spartacus" Booker trying to out left the left....We have Bernie the socialist from Vermont making a second run for the nomination after Felonia Von Pantsuit and her super delegates shafted him in 2016. and many others.We have "Beto" O Roarke who has changed his position so many times he makes John Kerry look Stalwart ...and Uncle Joe can't rely on the support of President Obama whom Joe was the VP, now that is messed up.  Joe Biden works for the Obama White House for 8 years as his VEEP and now Obama tells him "Sorry Joe".  Apparently from what I have heard...they want a POC* or a women to be the candidate so the old white dudes need to step away from the ring.  The Intersectional identity politics of the Democrats are in full swing...It don't matter how good you are, just what your gender...or lack of and your shade of skin tone.
      But I don't have it in me.....I am just tired....
