The Wages of 'Collusion' Meme is Big Trouble
2017-08-01
...As Clarice Feldman notes, the entire Democrat/Compromised Media fantasy over Russian "collusion" during the 2016 election has now collapsed, but the damage the Left has done to our nation purely out of pique over its loss last fall is becoming incalculable. Using their standard technique of "raising questions," they began a Narrative that has led to a falling-dominoes series of calamities that now threaten not only the Trump presidency, but also the very legitimacy of our form of government.

...The truth is, we've never witnessed anything like this before -- not, at least, since 1861. Back then, the Democrats made the fatal error of actually firing on Fort Sumter and waging a prolonged rebellion against the federal government under the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln -- whom they later assassinated. That conflict resulted, thanks to Grant and Sherman, in the devastation of the South, and a century of poverty, backwardness and resentment. Eventually, the Democrats seized the civil rights movement as their redemptive vehicle, and somehow managed the trick (via the media) of convincing the rest of the country that they were never the racist, seditious, literally anti-American sappers they so obviously were, and still are.

Today, they wouldn't make the mistake of going to actual war against the country-as-founded. Just as they refused to accept Lincoln as the lawfully elected president, so do they refuse to accept Trump; if Lincoln was the first of his party to reach the White House, they mean to make sure Trump is the last. To use a favorite phrase of theirs: "by any means necessary." That's because the Democrat/Compromised Media Complex plays for keeps. And we don't.

Meanwhile, any hope of detente and strategic cooperation with Russia slips away -- thanks to the Democrats, who since Lenin have never met a Russian they didn't love. The sanctions, which only Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul voted against, also include a possibly unconstitutional provision to tie the president's conduct of foreign policy in the future, by making it impossible for Trump to lift them without congressional approval. Trump has said he will sign the bill, but let's see how long that provision lasts in court.

...And all this -- all of it -- because the Democrats cannot accept the results of the election. Now, however, they have the feeble-minded and weak-spined Republicans and impotent "conservative" Vichycons joining in the stampede; note in the CNN clip linked just above, host Anderson Cooper attributes the sanctions not to "corruption," et al., but to Russia's "interference in the election, among other issues." The case may have factually cratered, but the meme itself will not die until it's fully exhausted for propaganda purposes.

They never stop, they never sleep, they never quit. It's long past time to start fighting back -- not necessarily to defend Trump the man (for the Democrats and the Compromised Media, there'll be a distracting "scandal" a day, forever) but to defend Trump the president, his office, the validity of our electoral system, and the proper workings of the federal government in its task to uphold the Constitution and defend the nation from all threats, foreign and domestic.
IMO: (i) It is not just Democrats - it's the New Class; (ii) It has already passed the stage of "ours, give it back!" and rapidly reaching the stage of "If we can't have it, nobody shall have it!"

#1  The Democrats are like the little kid in the classroom who farts and then points at someone else. The Democrats are up to their eyes in the 3- Cs: Collusion, Corruption, and Criminality while at the same time they point at everyone else as the guilty parties.
