I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration

[Simon W. Moon]

Sure.... I would give anything if there was some way for the Trump cult to be able to read what history books a hundred years from now will say about Trump and his cult of supporters.

By 2030 support for Trump'll be an embarrassing thing that hardly anyone will admit to have done without providing qualifiers and rationalizations.

 

[dobieg]

And I was laughed at by both extremes last year for saying this.

Don't worry, you're still laughed at.

 

[poweRob]

Then I am not a real libertarian. The forum lean, libertarian mostly matches what I am though; a classical liberal.
If you weren't so busy telling everyone what they are, you'd know that there are many classical liberals who would like nothing more than to have the DP forum come up with a new lean for us.

The progressive lefts are the authoritarians.

I agree. The forum needs a trumpanzee lean because it is a totally new breed not covered by older known leans.

Don't worry, you're still laughed at.

Since you say I’m still laughed at, Jun 2017, we’ll see — who gets the last laugh —

now with Deep Throat 2.0 — Woodward 2.0 — Mueller 4.0

 

[EnigmaO01]

Here is what i have to say. "UNSOURCED" ALL ONE NEEDS TO CALL BUNK ON THE STORY."

Are you saying Deepthroat's information was bunk too? He was anonymous wasn't he?

And all the anonymous whistleblowers out there are bunk also?

 

[EnigmaO01]

The only cult that exists are the anti-Trumpers.
The rest of us support the office of the presidency, the results of a duly elected presidential election, and respect that this president is mostly delivering on his campaign promises.

:lamo:lamo:lamo

The authoritarians you accuse the Progressive Lefts are — GOPutins, Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarian Rightists —

The Progressive Conservatism of Teddy Roosevelt and IKE will be taking over.

 

[chuckiechan]

Sounds like this might legitimize the Deep State theory.

There are a lot of entrenched interests, both political and business that have a lot to lose if the public starts getting its power back from the polished princes of Washington DC. They have been pretty much ignored for 40 years, yet they are paying the bills, and getting poorer.

They tell bunk because it doesn't help their cause

 

[itsforthekids]

Then don't worry about it. No one reads that failing NYT anyway, right?

Correct.

 

[poweRob]

Exactly. Like how they don't readily admit to supporting Bush now because trump told them to hate trump. They are just folks who latch on to the latest cult of personality and the past doesn't matter and is irrelevant.

 

[trixare4kids]

Here we go again. The hypothetical thing again.

Once again: There is no comparison between the two presidents. One has class and acted like a normal president. The other, well...

IYO. There is no hypothetical above.
Just because you think Obama walked on water doesn't mean we all must agree.
Though I respected the outcome of his election, and he won fair and square against more of the same McCain, does not mean Obama's presidency was normal. Obamacare, like your doctor, keep your doctor, more affordable than what you have now? Yeah, right, he was a normal president. Fast and Furious, spying on conservative journalists, sicking the IRS on conservatives, knows more than his generals, has no red line when it's all said and done, expanded the growth of ISIS in the M/E by pulling out too soon, alienating decades of racial harmony by sticking his divisive nose in local community's affairs. Tax, regulate, and tax some more, and adding trillions upon trillions in debt... yeah, gee, he was just swell.

 

[EnigmaO01]

In the first place, whistleblowers are protected by law. There is no need for undergrounds. And not sourced? Excuse me while I laugh.

Actually Whistleblowers are not always protected by the law. Sure officially they are but being a whistleblower in this country is not a position you want to be in. A friend had the opportunity to be one and passed it up. He would have lost everything. It wasn't worth it.

 

[poweRob]

Good freagin' lord I surely hope so.

 

[poweRob]

Correct.

For ****s sake do you guys have any independent thought of your own? All one has to do to predict every "conservative" post on this forum is read trump's tweets in advance. Best trained parrots ever. The only moorings trumpettes have are anchored to trumps butt cheeks.

 

[trixare4kids]

And some wonder why I asked if you care about your country...
Why do you take upon yourself to call the GOP Putin lovers?

Where the hell is your proof?
Only a progressive/regressive authoritarian would write checks their ass can't cash.

Obama's worst quality as prez was his attacks against whistleblowers. Unfortunately, trumpettes seem to love that quality the most. Authoritarianists suck balls.

 

[Robertinfremont]

Oh really? How many law classes do you have under your belt? I bet I have more than you

I took two business law courses in college. Also took real estate law as a full year course. I took appraisal law. I took Mortgage law.

My deal is not who took the most. But who got the most out of their courses. Also I studied tax law in college. By the way, top grades in all.

 

[Simon W. Moon]

Exactly. Like how they don't readily admit to supporting Bush now because trump told them to hate trump. They are just folks who latch on to the latest cult of personality and the past doesn't matter and is irrelevant.

It's like how there're fewer people who admit to thinking that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a good idea now than previously.

 

[trixare4kids]

:lamo:lamo:lamo

Don't choke on your sour grapes because your gal/guy lost...

 

[trixare4kids]

Trump of course. He is like the Republican Jim Jones.

Hillary of course. She is like the Democrat Jim Jones. One year is usually the right amount of time to mourn the loss.
Get over it.

Used to write those checks too when I was a Democrat. What spun me totally around was important books and much study.

1. A time for Truth by William E. Simon. I actually read his book thinking he would trash Nixon and l I loved to trash then President Nixon.
2. All of Thomas Paine's vital and important books really spun me even more.
3. I took an interest in the words of the Constitution and diligently studied those words. I found out I was wrong as a Democrat.

Simon's excellent book is a winner and belongs in each high school and taught as part of government.

I don't think you even know what those terms mean. In fact I'm sure of it.

You probably think Hitler was a communist.

 

[poweRob]

Exactly. Every single trumpette that voted for Bush twice I can almost guaranteed warmongered the crap out of 2003 invasion of Iraq. Then trump said it was bad and they 180 degreed away from their past and would practically never admit they were there running their yaps about how you didn't love America and hated the troops if you didn't back the invasion.

Crazytown indeed.

 

[btthegreat]

This person is almost definitely a Trump hire. If you expand the theory of the Deep State to that degree, the deep state would have to comprise pretty much everyone but Trump and his family.

Don't make any wagers on that family!
