Trump: I’m victim of 'single greatest witch hunt'

[geronl]

   There's plenty to criticize about Donald Trump - but his enemies are the enemies of the nation.   

lol. He and they are close to identical.

[DiogenesLamp]

The media doesn't run the country.

The pretty much do.   For years i've been trying to make people aware of just how much the Media manipulates elections by the way they present the "news"  to the public.   


As Peter Jennings once said.   "We don't tell people what to think,   we tell them what to think about."   


Same thing in the long run. 

[DiogenesLamp]

I will never lift a finger or utter a single word here or anywhere else if I thought it would encourage, support or otherwise help the establishment, Deep State or whatever you want to call it, overthrow the results of the past election.

My contempt for it far far surpasses anything animosity I have for Donald Trump. Trump may be a self obsessed buffoon or whatever, but he's not trying to enslave me, or dead set on policies that endanger my safety nor the well being of me and my family.

This is my thinking too.   

[hchutch]

No, no no, no.  I never bought the lie that we had to vote for Trump if we were to have a country left.  I do not buy the lie that we must stand behind Trump if we are to have a country left.  I do not buy the lie that we must wait until 2024 before debating or rendering judgment on the fruits of whether or not Trump has served in the interests of liberty and the Constitution.

That is a dangerous trap I will not walk into.

Salvation for the country does not rest in fealty to a man or a party.

We are either governed by foundational principles in the fear of The Lord, or we will be ruled by the tyranny of men.

Those foundational principles ARE already under attack by the Left, who seek to impose the tyranny you claim to feat. What do you think the recounts were? Or the efforts to get the electoral college members to not vote Trump?

Have you not been watching what the Left is doing?

[Sanguine]

Fully realizing who Trump is since before the primaries and having (for the first time in my life) given a significant amount of money to a campaign, Ted Cruz's, personally I will never lift a finger or utter a single word here or anywhere else if I thought it would encourage, support or otherwise help the establishment, Deep State or whatever you want to call it, overthrow the results of the past election.

Well said!

[anubias]

My sentiments exactly.   Trump's not the issue -  the foundation upon which our Republic rests is at stake.   For over 200 years, we have seen a peaceful transition of power girded by respect for the will of the people as expressed in free and fair elections.    There's plenty to criticize about Donald Trump - but his enemies are the enemies of the nation.   

I believe this is by far the best post I have ever seen you make @Jazzhead    

God bless you for it.

Absolutely right, but you are not going to fix it with a NY liberal, crony capitalism, and national socialism.

LOL! It would be hard to find a more disliked figure. He has pissed off absolutely everyone.

Your position wholly ignores that 'the Left' includes all but a handful of the GOP and Trump himself.

[roamer_1]

Be careful what you wish for.
At the point at which a people no longer can be even remotely considered to be keeping His commandments, His 'use of anyone' can be a painful thing.

I would humbly assert that one should pray harder for national repentance before expecting the Hand of YHWH to move things in a more beneficial direction.

[chae]

God can use anyone, this is true.  My question is : In what way is he using Trump?  Is Trump our punishment from God?

Explicitly true Roamer, but this people do not want to hear that.

They have invested all their hopes, faith and possible solutions into men and their corrupted institutions.

Which guarantees they will never achieve what they think they want to accomplish  and will select worse, and worse people of character to carry their torch for them as something just a little better than the other thing that they find worse.

And people wonder how it is we have slid so far Left that even Republicans are spouting Leftist talking points?

[INVAR]

God has always given His wayward people who have rejected Him for what they desire.

God takes Ownership, but the punishment itself is always self-inflicted.

God is not going to save us from the consequences we have sown for ourselves, especially when the solutions being sought do not involve Him, repentance or even shame for what we have done.

Yep. America has a trip to the woodshed in her near future...

The only thing in my experience that might just stop the old man when that time has come, is truthful confession, utter and honest repentance, and a promise to adhere to what the old man told you...

Probably you will go to the woodshed anyway, but the whippin' you deserve will have some mercy.

You praise him now...but wait til you see his less than Conservative stances on abortion...Obamacare and the 2nd Amendment.

You won't be so quick to sing his praises.

[Silver Pines]

Is he wrong? I've never seen anything like it. It's a full-fledged sabotage from the DNC, the MSM, and most disgustingly, traitorous RINOs.

@LetsTalk

You forgot Trump himself, who steps on his...necktie every time he turns around and seems to thrive on the resulting chaos and drama.

Trump supporters would serve the country, and the president, better if they would stop enabling his behavior.

@CatherineofAragon I don't think so much that they enable it so much as they revel in it.

@libertybele

I don't trust the media, the left, or Trump. 

[Silver Pines]

what with their pipsqueak 3rd party vanity choices

@truth_seeker

Honestly, it fascinates me that you're still this angry and bitter that people didn't vote the way you deemed appropriate.

That keyboard brings out your bitchiness, doesn't it?      For the record,  I oppose abortion,  want to fix Obamacare and want you to have all the guns you want.     

Thanks for the props, anubias.   I appreciate it.  Some of us are liberal, some conservative, some pragmatic, some ideologically pure.  A lot of us are long time Republicans who voted our consciences last November.   We all fight in good faith to win elections and try to fix the place we call home.  We respect the results -  the will of the nation.   When our good faith is shattered by those who would take what is not rightfully theirs,  then I say Trump is worth defending because of the mendacity of his enemies.

You're just an idiot.

That's what the keyboard brings out in you.

That is beyond hilarious coming from someone who has consistently argued for 'choice' and stated that closing abortion clinics is the government forcing a woman to procreate.

Yeah, where exactly in the Constitution as ratified are Abortion Rights located?  I cannot seem to find that word and practice in there anywhere.

[Jarhead]

Sorry, Trump did this to himself... I remember in how we mocked Hillary for saying there was a Conspiracy to take down her husband..  Also, a tough guy like Trump shouldn't be claiming victimhood....

Trump is imperfect and not the perfect conservative however has pushed a mixed agenda between very conservative positions and middle road.

Got it we understand you are in the coup camp with the liberals. Furthermore defending a banana republic. Thanks for making that point abundantly clear

[Jarhead]

Bully for you. I'm just pointing out that your comparison with Hillary's conspiracy whining is BS.

It is BS because SHE was proven to have committed a crime in national TV with overwhelming evidence. Trump OTOH has had no evidence produced showing his guilt. I'd be cloaking my case to the public as well.

I'm wondering if the one who posted this if placed in the same position wouldn't be protesting his innocence as well? Don't think he'd whine? Naaaaaaa

[geronl]

Got it we understand you are in the coup camp with the liberals.

pathetic. Keep living in that ever shrinking bubble universe if you want, but it's going to pop eventually.

[Jarhead]

Well put...., I'd just hope he can cleanly hand over the reins to Pence in a clean and clear method that keeps the power base intact..... And denies the dims political capital in the process.

Hand over the reigns? You're kidding right? Based on what crime exactly?  The democrats are already going to sweep mid terms and not because of the President but because of a spineless and feckless GOP Congress who doesn't know how to fight!

    If us Conservatives wanted Middle of the Road we would have gotten behind jeb! or 13 other people besides the Orange One, an unknown, politically to some of you still Hoping for Change in DC.
    You elected him @Jarhead he's your problem.

[geronl]

I'm a victim! Yeah, I'mma victim! The bigliest victim ever there was!

[Jarhead]

pathetic. Keep living in that ever shrinking bubble universe if you want, but it's going to pop eventually.

So you're saying based on his comment and stance he has chosen to take (which is supporting the continual trashing of our President) he isn't in the coup camp? I'm sorry I must have mistaken the apparent dislike of our President and a feeble attempt of drawing comparison to Hillary and unindicted felon all wrong

Yes and proudly AFTER the primaries decided it. And who was your horse? Mine was Cruz but Cruz failed to bring it home. He too had liberal positions and leanings. He too isn't perfect. Sorry no one is

[corbe]

Hand over the reigns? You're kidding right? Based on what crime exactly?  The democrats are already going to sweep mid terms and not because of the President but because of a spineless and feckless GOP Congress who doesn't know how to fight!

   Historically the opposition party always wins the first Mid Terms but if it's a bloodbath, I'll agree with you @Jarhead - It's because Sen. Cruz didn't campaign enough.

[skeeter]

The major news networks are already starting to run stories on Pence's 'connections' to this Russia farce. It is the epitome of naivete' to believe this will all blow over if Trump steps down. The GOP needs to fight this now.

Kinda reminds me of the movie Sand Pebbles when Richard Crenna's character tells Steve McQueen's character that his only value is as a symbol of his country.

Don't ask me why cause I'm not sure. It just does.
