Now the Left and the Democrat’s motto seems to be ”no matter if the Constitution and the Republic fall, as long as we get Trump.”

Results are more important than actions, which are more important than words. Even most Trump haters will agree with that, in theory — but then still hate Trump.

Despite his great results.
Lowest unemployment in decades.
Conservatives into judges.
More Reps getting a bit of backbone to stand up against the PC-bullies, and especially the lies.

I like Cruz. I used to say I didn’t like Trump’s words — but I then I started reading his tweets. Like 65 million others (?). Show me the bad tweets you think are so terrible, or the bad words in paragraph context.

He’s constantly saying good things about most folks, except those who have attacked, insulted him. Then he insults them back. I didn’t use to like this.

Then I remembered the book The Evolution of Cooperation, and repeated Prisoner Dilema games, and the strategy which wins.
Tit for Tat.
Start with cooperation, then do what the other guy did.

Trump is trying to get cooperation, but the Dems are not cooperating. And a hundred elite Trump-haters, all telling lies about his actions, some similar, some different, don’t mean Trump’s actions are actually bad.

Oh yeah, it’s actions which are mostly criminal, not words so much.
Trump is far less guilty than most top Dems.

“The recording came from the Navy command ship USS Ancon (AGC-4). The date: 6 June 1944. It was made by radio correspondent George Hicks, who was on the Ancon to cover the D-Day landing. Ancon, formerly a civilian vessel, had been converted to a troopship, and then to a command ship for the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Forces. She had taken part in the landing in Sicily in 1943, and was now the flagship for the U.S. amphibious forces marshaled at Omaha Beach.”

Politico explains that the system was upgraded in 2018 to enable the tracking of which users were accessing files. The purpose was to discourage administration insiders from going through such material and then leaking information from it. The use of the compartmented system, meanwhile, helped minimize the pool of individuals who could access the files at all.
…
For some reason, Politico seems to have been unable to make that connection from its own reporting. In the same article, it repeats the talking point that the “whistleblower” allegation implies there was a reprehensible reason for wanting to limit access to the transcript.
…
The Politico article goes on at some length to develop this theme.

I don’t know about you, but my first assumption, based on the White House’s reason for upgrading the system and using it to store information it doesn’t want leaked, is that the White House didn’t want this transcript leaked. That this would be a default position for anyone’s White House doesn’t even require explanation.

As for the “whistleblower” allegation that this was in order to conceal a politically embarrassing conversation, it’s first of all thoroughly relevant to ask where the “whistleblower” gets off leveraging the whistleblower system to express an opinion about that.
…
It has become freakish, watching the media try to keep alive a narrative about wrongdoing in this case, when their own reporting – and the prompt release of the transcript – have laid that bogey to rest.

That’s the conclusion; the arguments in Dyer’s article amply justifies it.

Of course, the question is why is she a fanatic on that issue. Can’t help but notice that the women in my family who are fanatics on that question include one who disliked her children (and her husband, though he’d given her reason to), one who was most succinctly described as a drunken slut, and one a divorcee with a 25 year long history of sour intramural bickering with her father and her one-and-only sibling (a sister; I don’t think she’s on the best of terms with her mother, either).

and as i said, they are as angry as lenin was with the Csar for ending serfdom
