Mueller Report Imminent

Damnation. Don’t agree with the guys politics but I hate to see this happen to any man.

That’s tough. That belly portends a pretty low quality of life in his final quarter. I hope he gets through this and gets himself in better shape.

Talk about hypocrites.

Brennan, Clapper lash out at Trump for declassifying 2016 election intel

Just my personal opinion, but I expect Trump to have people demand loyalty to him to the point they commit serious ethical violations, if not crimes.

That goes on all over the world in business and politics. With power there comes demands. It's up to subordinates to comply or not. A simple example would be VW and the diesel emission test issue; whoever demanded the "fix" couldn't implement it ... eventually you get to a point where someone may actually not have understood why the change was made or the illegality, but in between there were people who did. It's their ethics that say "stay or go" and "talk or don't"; I honestly believe that the harder someone climbs the less he/she cares about ethics. And whether you or anyone else accepts it, no one tries harder to get to the top than presidential candidates. Unfortunately at that level of politics (or business) the support guys are pedaling just as hard as the guy at the top. Ethics is something hard to find in politics, business, or most other places where competition is fierce ... just a fact of life unfortunately..

There is no Q stuff. He hasn't drained the swamp, unless you count him appointing people to power that he turned around and fired and then put new people in power to continue the same before he fired them. He isn't interested in draining the swamp. He's interested in stroking his ego and having "yes men" in positions of power, nothing more.

Do you really think the DC swamp can be drained ... I sure have doubts about the possibility. The second part is whether the country can survive whatever event actually caused the swamp to drain. Short of a nuclear explosion that completely eradicates DC and everyone who lives there, DC is unlikely to change. And there will always be another place and more power hungry people who would be more than willing to fill the void. Find a "clean" government anywhere in the world ... they don't exist. The best we could hope for is term limits and something saying that once out of office the person can never step foot in or communicate with anyone in the federal government ... and that ain't happening either.

I hate to see that too, even though I don't like the guy. He did look very confused, so a stroke wouldn't surprise me.

There's still someone standing up for national security?

In bed with the deep state, obviously.

Not a fan of phat bastard by a long shot but don’t want to wish ill health on him.

Least we not forget... they got rules and they adhere to them...


The Tactics: 12 Rules For Radicals
Know them and know what Democrats are doing!

* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)

* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)

* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

I’m curious why the esteemed Mueller overlooked his treason in his big report?

He not only overlooked it, he gave 5 people cover from Hillary's camp including the Podesta brothers. Can't be talked about if they are in the investigation can they.

I remember reading one time, when Nadler was really fat, that he weighed 338 pounds and is only 5'4". He had a gastric bypass a few years ago, and lost a considerable amount of weight.

I don't remember the libs on here that make fun of Trump or Sarah Sanders or Rush Limbaugh's weight saying anything about Nadler. Maybe their fat shaming isn't really all about their weight,.

Of course not.

Interesting. The only people who have used that argument in the past were totalitarians who were offended by and threatened by "transparency" ... to use an Obama term. Schiff for brains has some weird ideas. Hard to believe he's speaking for the party that thought release of the Pentagon Papers and lots of other classified info was righteous.

 

[1972 Grad]

Why is there no word on Nadler's condition? Does that mean it's really bad?

Schiff for brains ... LOL. Good one.

Let's hope bad enough that he has to step down. He deserves worse. The guy is a traitor to his Country.

He sent a tweet later the day that it happened saying he was fine and thanks for all the well wishes but I’ve seen nothing since.

Or, somebody sent a tweet for him. He may be resting comfortably with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

It’s a long holiday weekend. I’m guessing we’ll hear more next week.

Everyone's entitled to have their own opinions, but wishing ill on the man because you disagree with his politics is harsh, and IMO, not cool. Take the high road.
