“You smeared Robert Mueller. . .” Did Robert Mueller not hire a staff of all Democrats, including some active in Democratic politics? Did Robert Mueller not know that the “dossier” was a complete fabrication early on, but continue the investigation? Those are facts, not smears.

“You’ve falsely alleged that parts of the US Government has engaged in a coup.” Every fact we know so far points to an attempted “soft” coup — Ohr transmitting the dossier to the FBI, the Comey leaks, the Strzok and Page “insurance policy,” the use of the fake dossier and an article based on it to obtain the FISA warrants, the attempted set up of Carter Page and George Papadopoulos as fall guys, and I’m sure there will be more coming out. Facts, not false accusations.

“your leader praises the communist invasion of Afghanistan” — okay, you got me there — saying the Soviets invaded Afghanistan because of terrorists is flat out wrong, but saying it bankrupted the former Soviet Union while not the complete cause, was certainly part of the cause of the fall of the USSR.

Trump “praises the Taliban” — the guy who dropped America’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb on the Taliban, and you consider that praise? When he said “Afghanistan is the Harvard of terrorists,” you consider that praise?

Trump “says he believes Putin over our Intelligence services,” no, he said Putin denies that he did it, and our intelligence services say that he did. And our intelligence services have such a great record of analysis — let’s see, the missile gap, the Russian space program, the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Chinese atomic bomb, the Chinese hydrogen bomb, the Indian atomic bomb, the Pakistani atomic bomb, the Russian seizure of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine — yup, our intelligence services are always right! (The conclusion that Putin would prefer Donald Trump, a man who wanted to substantially increase US military spending and US oil and gas production over Hillary Clinton, who brought them the “Reset ” button, wanted to reduce US oil and gas, and who took $140 million in bribes to let the Russian buy 20% of US uranium production capability, will go down in history with those other great analyses of the IC!)

Trump “goes full Neville Chamberlain and then some on Kim Jong Un” — riiiiiiiight! Neville Chamberlin gave Hitler Czechoslovakia. So far all Trump has given L’il Kim is two photo ops. He hasn’t reduced one sanction — even the one on fish — and Kim has stopped long-range ballistic missile tests, stopped nuclear testing, and is at least saying he’s thinking about considering pondering denuclearizing, which is farther than any other president has gotten. Oh, yeah, Trump suspended large-scale joint military exercises with the ROK last year. BFD. Now they’re back on.

Manju, I’m sure you’d like your posts to be respected instead of ridiculed. All you have to do to achieve that is follow the admonishment of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, on of the great liberals of the 20th Century — you are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

“I read what you wrote, and sat back to think about it seriously.”

Thank you for extending that courtesy. Reading your revision and comparing it to what Trump actually tweeted, I do prefer your revision. You do retain the impact and eliminate an avenue of attack. It’s a much more skillful wording than Trump’s tweet, yet changes little.

Unfortunately, I suspect Trump has no one to whom he can consult who will not try to restrain him so that Trump is no longer Trump. I base that on nearly everyone who would act in support of Trump wielding “his big stick” having been driven out of the W.H.

OBloodyHell @ 6:21 does a masterful job of explaining what was probably in the back of Trump’s mind when he wrote that tweet.

Trump is not a wordsmith, he’s not a Ted Cruz, whose every utterance is carefully calculated. “But this man fights.” And above all that is the indispensable quality needed at this time.

I have a rule regarding the subject of racism. The first person who calls another person a racist is usually the real racist. Further, the person who speaks the most about racism and racial matters is most probably the real racist. For instance, the Rev. Al Sharpton cannot confront a disagreement without charging the person he is confronting with racism. Actually, much of the Democratic Party is filled with people who call their adversaries racists. As pejorative terms go, “racist” and “racism” are meaningless. Only a very ignorant person or a very partisan Democrat takes these words seriously.

Yes, and you cannot tell this from anything they say.

They echo Michelle Obama when they say “This is the first time I’ve ever been proud of my country”, except they’ve simply never been proud of their country.

They NEED to go somewhere else, to actually experience the REALITY of those places, so they stop infecting this place with their insanity.

THIS is at the heart of his tweets.

Every single solitary one of them is an enemy of America, an enemy of our governmental system, and would happily lead us to total destruction. They may be US Citizens, but you cannot discern this from any of their actions or their words. They could not be LESS American than the most diehard foreign spy.

And the Left media is out to enable them. There’s zero question that AOC misspent campaign funds, sufficient to be investigated and almost certainly censured AT BEST, if not impeached, but that little issue has disappeared down the media hole.
