I just see leftists going all out against a fairly easy target; i.e. Donald Trump. You would think The Donald actually does enough stuff for the media to criticize, but no, they have to make stuff up.
And when they do make things up, I've gotta say that some trump haters jump on it with what I can only describe as glee.
It is funny that we are all beginning to question the Media again, we never should have quit, and I think not quitting would have spared much animosity. When I look at sources quoted as gospel during the elections, I just shake my head at rumors of seven mistresses and assassination plots, of globalist bankers and the anointed, just to hit a few high points... When expectations aren't particularly high, it is easy to fall victim to the things one expects being touted as true. I see a lot of that around here yet, and it isn't all about Trump or Trump supporters, either.
I'm just wishing they would only criticize what he actually does or doesn't do and that they would examine their motives.
We should all be so lucky as to get that treatment. People react to the news, as reported. Some posts of nonsense articles don't even get time to be shredded in forum (the intent in them being posted, so they can be debunked) before the personal attacks start and the thread goes off the rails. Then the article sits at the top of the thread, while the bar fight goes on, unscathed. I think if posters turned their talents at the very real enemies of the media and the Liberals, we'd all be better off for it.
In the meantime, if Trump falls short of the mark, he will be criticized, if he excels, he will get credit, too, at least from most people here. Conservatives tend to be fair, after all.
I don't want Trump to be impeached or nagged out of office. What then? An opening for the libs? Do we want that?
If Trump was to resign or do something worthy of impeachment, the chips will fall where they may. Then the normal order of succession would take over, and Pence would be POTUS. He isn't liberal enough to worry me that much.
Another Vice President would have to be sworn in, and things would continue.
At this point, no Conservative is rooting for Trump to fail, unless he is doing something antithetical to Conservative principles.
For instance, as far as the ACA goes, we've been promised it would be repealed if we just....
Well, we delivered on all that, and we want those promises made good. Anything less is an assertion that the Government can lawfully control 1/6 of the economy and the minutiae of health insurance/care. There is no Constitutional authorization for that Federal Power, and it should have been voided by the SCOTUS, lock, stock, and barrel. The SCOTUS, and especially Justice Roberts failed dismally to uphold the Constitution, and it is up to the balancing branches of the Federal Government to right that grievous error. Anything short of that is not a step in the right direction, but only further embraces that usurpation, so short rounds will not be cheered.
