Is The Thrill Gone?

Once again WSF goes off on a murky political rant. You may want to read the bloggers on the sidebar instead.

Some of my relatives are liberals, especially on social issues like health care, Aids, human trafficking, mental health, domestic violence, and gays. I respect their opinions, even share some, because they walk the walk. Most definitely are not Starbuck revolutionaries. They loath President Trump, and are thrilled by any news that puts him in a bad light. They revel in the thought he is hurting. The mainstream media caters, in my opinion, to the Trump haters. That is because the corrupt, lying, smug mainstream media (h/t Larry Lambert) shares in that hatred.

Look at Google News. Compilation of the brightest and best MSM (New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN). All, and I do mean 100%, of the stories about President Trump, his family, and his associates are full of words  like failure, scandal, disorganization, weakness and irrational behavior.  The liberals eat it up and high five. The deep state inhabitants, and the lampreys that feed off them, applaud.

The rest of the country? About as upset as when Billy Carter pissed in public. They aren’t thrilled by the MSM manufactured drama. They are too busy raising families and making a living.

President Trump won the nomination in spite of the MSM and the Jeb! RINOs. He won the presidency in spite of the MSM and Jeb! RINOs. He is the first president in my lifetime that is (1) not tainted with graft and corruption, and (2) making a determined effort to keep his campaign promises.

I will always vote for the honest person, even if I disagree with most of their positions, before I will vote for a tainted candidate I mainly agree with. Prime example would be the late Ken Gordon, Colorado Democrat.

So what is up with all this Russian bullshit? IMO, that is all they’ve got, and it mighty thin. Not an original though by me to be sure. My fondest hope is that it will come back to bite them in the ass.

Consider this. The FBI has suffered an enormous drop in prestige. Mueller, the former director, is now an Independent investigator. Who knows what direction that investigation will take. Like, the Obama administration’s misdeeds? The Shillary State Department? No DOJ running interference there, not with Sessions running it. Maybe the FBI can recover some of their mojo (and enjoy a little payback for years of humiliation?)

Consider the case of Candace Claiborne, State Department employee who may face treason charges. The first of many so the flacks say.


Back in the news is Lois Lerner, the retired IRS management poster child, who may still face criminal charges.

Who knows how many more will be exposed and prosecuted? Who will start singing to save their own hides now that the Obama thugs can’t protect them? Probably too many to be Seth Richarded/Vince Fostered. We can only hope.

Freedom isn't free and every generation must earn it anew. Corruption is the worm that eats at the vitals of the nation and to be free we need to kill off as many of those worms as we can. Hillary, Lois Learner, and the whole coterie of Obama parasites needs to have their day at the dock, and receive justice for their acts. It sends a message to all of the other worms.

Great analogy about works. We won't last as a country if we accept corruption as the norm, IMO.

Both Lois Lerner and her crooked boss John Koskinen need to face justice, and quite a few others at the IRS. Make an example out of them, and hang 'em high.

I don't think there are enough cells to hold all those that need nabbing and prosecuting. It will take a long time, as the trial attorneys can draw stuff out for years, before all can be dealt with. Start with the leaders and dribble down. The 'save my ass' bureaucrats will see the writing on the wall and start singing like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Know what I am taking away from this not-really-a-rant-because-all-of-it-needs-to-be-said?

The part where, yeah, I know there's a lot of shit going on. And there's not a goddamn thing I can do about any of it.

So yes. Taking care of my own. I don't even waste time wondering how, as a country, we've come to this. An exercise in futility.

The children I work with often talk about the issues. Some with a depth that would surprise the average person. I work to teach them that there's no point in acting like a moth, bashing yourself against the glass. Instead, do what you can on your own level. Treat the people around you with respect, do what you can to be decent.

'Cause in the end, that's really all any of us have. And how we function with/against the world will be the measure of us all.

If any one of "The Corrupt 10,000" starts to sing, they'd better get extensive protection, and fast.

Otherwise we'll see more Seth Rich's......

Them plus many more in just that agency.

That will be music to my ears.

Wise words, and a good coping skill to teach children.

Afraid you are right.

Can't disagree with anything you said... dammit...

It is a bitch, isn't it?

I think great minds think alike. This stuff has been occupying my mind constantly. I get so frustrated with the journalism moobs. They need to go back to responsible reporting. I think they are all out to undermine the president and the first one gets a toaster oven or something.

Glad I'm included among Great minds.
