The Left Will Make 2019 a Dark Year

The post was too long to quote...

However...I have yet to have the left or right have any influence on whether i enjoyed the up-coming year.
I refuse to let politics have that much control over my personal life.
 
Dennis Prager made the entirety of his image a basis in religion-based morality. Then when Trump got elected, he suddenly determined that morality was not important so long as Republicans controlled the government. Anybody who says things like "the left destroys everything it touches" and "the left is out to destroy America and make it a third world country" is either a moron or is losing it. He loves to say "the left - not liberals." But his definition of "the left" is "liberals."

Of course you're referring to the "Democrat Majority" Congress resisting the President and attempting to pass legislation taxing Americans to pay for illegal aliens, and furthering Marxist Socialism in America. That's not to mention a concerted effort by the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrat Left/DSA to impeach Donald J. Trump by hook or crook.....

Obviously all is lost. Still, it's refreshing to see you string all those boogeyman adjectives together in your last sentence. Haven't seen that sort of thing since the 1960s. Well done.

By Dennis Prager -- I rarely make predictions -- whether of election results or anything else. My policy has always been to say what I believe should be done, not what will be done. I am making an exception with regard to America in 2019. 2019 will be a dark year in America.... Thanks to the left's control of the House of Representatives and the news media, Americans will be kept in a fevered state throughout 2019 -- with innumerable hearings, exposes, criminal investigations and possible indictments of those around the president and the president himself. Truth will not be the point. Defamation will. Anything that might muddy the president, no matter how spurious, no matter how thin the evidence, will be pursued with gusto. The media will drop "bombshell" after "bombshell." If lives and careers are ruined, so much the better; no one should be associating with this president anyway, as far as the left is concerned. The Robert Mueller investigation into alleged "collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government -- which has led to guilty pleas and imprisonment of people around President Trump for offenses having nothing to do with such collusion -- is a preview of what lies ahead.... The goal of the left to weaken, disable and impeach the president is the heart of its mission to undo the 2016 presidential election. If the Republicans had done anything comparable during the Obama administration, the Democrats and the media would not only have charged Republicans with racism -- as they labeled all criticism of Barack Obama -- they would have howled "fascism." And, for once, they wouldn't have been far from the truth. The misuse of government institutions for political ends is indeed a fascist tactic. But because most media serve as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, there will be no protest from the media, only support.
Thanks to Democratic control of the House of Representatives, the left will use the levers of government to keep the American people in a constant state of agitation. The only thing the left hates more than a happy population is losing elections. And it knows the two are linked -- because happy and grateful Americans rarely vote Democrat. The road to Democrat victories lies in convincing women, blacks, Hispanics, Jews and young people to be as unhappy, ungrateful and angry as possible -- in the greatest country ever made.
That is the left's agenda for 2019.

The only difference between the complete lawlessness ruling the US today and that of Honduras, is the fact that there is far greater wealth to plunder, plus so many people who need to be inculcated and beaten until they either comply with the rule of Progressive Marxist Socialism or die.
All they have to do is join the Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrat locust army... march to America to receive the Obama/Schumer/Pelosi blessings that belong to the citizens and they're free to consume what is on the table and take the tools of productivity away from the Americans.
Obama doubled the debt from $10 to $20 trillion in just 8 years, and Trump has added $2 trillion to it in 2-years! That's peanuts compared to the trillions of dollars in unfunded retirements funds etc. that have absolute zero tangible wealth because there is zero accountability or allegiance left in the US government!. Remember, just a few years ago unfunded liability would be a red flag of bankruptcy!
The debt is essential to Maoist communist China, it's the same place PMS/DSA monopolists moved the US productive wealth generating assets to slave labor wages. China makes the steel, aluminum, copper, and LEAD, we don't anymore. Mao leads the records for slaughtering those who disagree with communism... especially anyone who betrays allegiance... like Schumer, Pelosi et al.
When High Crimes and Misdemeanors are ignored because the Criminals are members of a favored Political Party, we are moving closer and closer to Communism.

Hyperbole. The fear of Congressional investigations that I have heard from the right lately makes me wonder if they have amnesia. Ask Hillary Clinton.

The American electorate gave the Dems the House to provide oversight. Trumps free pass from Congressional oversight is kaput, suck it up Buttercup, thats politics.

Ahh but I bet it was all rainbows and unicorns when B. Hussein had his Demoturd Congress, Amirite? And 2010, 2014, 2016 gave the Democraps a well deserved assraping.

What is a Republican? The term no longer has meaning. You might as well call yourself a Trumplican. The only unifying world view you value in a fellow party member is the degree to which you agree that Trump wants what is best for the country.

I find it perplexing Romney gets tagged with a Rhino label considering how the defecit has grown since Jan 2017. What litmus test are Trump supporters using in justifying the tagging Romney with the label, hmm.

Their refusal to take seriously their oversight powers make them complicit with the Trump crimes associated with Russia and the stolen election.
 
According to the writer, Democrats =“The Left”
The problem with that narrative is that even the most liberal Democrats aren’t particularly radical— especially when compared to the most right wing in Congress, who want to return to the gold standard, abolish the IRS, eliminate Social Security, etc.

The most liberal Democrats want Medicare for all and subsidized college, which is what most the developed world already has.

2019 will be a dark year for anyone who believes that oversight of the Executive branch shouldn't be one of Congress's duties. For the rest of us who learned about "checks and balances" in the fourth grade and thought it sounded like a very reasonable idea, 2019 will be a substantial improvement on 2018.

He insists he does not mean "liberals" when he says "the left." To him, "the left" is a combination of "elites" in Washington and a conspiratorial deep state that includes the FBI and DOJ. But every time he says "the left" it's clear he's talking about liberals. So you or anyone else is free to conflate the two, but it's intellectually dishonest to repeatedly (once every weekday during his show at a minimum) insist they are separate and then argue they're all alike.

Mueller has been trying to find the Trump Russia connection for more than 2 years. To date there is no evidence of Collusion. If anything it was Hillary and the DNC that rigged the Dem presidential primary and colluded with foreign entities to frame Trump at the cost of 9 million dollars to the DNC and the Hillary campaign.

That is blatantly false. Even a noted conservative like Charles Krauthammer stated the the Trump Tower meeting and email chain demonstrated collusion.

Also, I'd drop the Flynn / Cohen thing... Despite delivering it twice now, it doesn't appear to be the spicy meatball you thought it would be.
 
From OP (about mid-point):

There is nothing Trump or any member of his administration has done that is comparable to Hillary Clinton's use of her own email server while U.S. secretary of state, or her destroying tens of thousands of emails after they were subpoenaed by Congress, or foreign governments' and corporations' paying vast sums of money to Bill Clinton and The Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Nor is there anything Trump or anyone in his administration has done comparable to the Obama administration's use of the IRS to suppress conservative nonprofits; its selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, at least one of which was later found at the scene where a Border Patrol officer was killed; or the lies it told about the cause of the murder of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi. Yet any suggestion by Republicans that these activities be investigated is effectively shouted down by the Democrats and the media. And let's not talk about the real collusion in 2016 -- between the FBI, the State Department, the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House, using material sourced in part from the Russian government -- to undermine the Republican candidate for president and his presidency. The mainstream media isn't interested in that.
