Wow. We’ve kicked off the 4th YEAR of this EPIC Flagpole Streak with yet another incredible month of media domination by Mr Trump. The final nails in the coffin for our resident moran Clownpole are now being held by the guy with the hammer. As we objective individuals have been saying for over 2 years now, the Russian colluuuuussssssion narrative is dead.
Trump’s second State of the Union address received near-record approval ratings (76%, with 59% “strongly approving”). This, after signaling that he will declare a national emergency to get the balance of the money he requested for the wall and border security. Obama's own Head of Border Security strongly supports Trump's efforts to build the wall and enhance border security.
Shortly thereafter, the Senate Intelligence committee makes a public statement that there was no evidence of collusion found between the Trump campaign and Russia (yes, even the Democrats on the committee). So what happens the next day? Schiff-for-Brains says they’re going to investigate more “Russia stuff” anyway!! W. T. F.?! Blows my mind how butthurt these loons are.
Then the 25th Amendment story re-surfaced, with McCabe throwing Rosenstein under the bus about the “wearing a wire” idea. For some reason McCabe thought another book was needed to explain his hatred for Trump, and his butthurt feelings, while not providing a single example of Russian collllluuuuussssssion or even obstruction of justice evidence. It’s unbelievable that these disgraced former intel leaders continue to be given a platform to deal with their epic failure to deter Mr Trump’s presidency.
Then Mueller’s team makes a statement that Manafort has repeatedly broken laws for at least 10 years. Not a mention of Russian collllluuuuuuussion though, of course.
There were two major fake news items this month: 1) Jussie Smollet and 2) the Michael Cohen testimony. The Smollet non-attack is yet another prime example of the MSM and Hollywood jumping at the chance to vilify Trump and his supporters without the need for the truth. Just like the multiple other examples of outrage theatrics from the Left, the MSM and Hollywood believed the idea that a couple Trump supporters were walking around urban Chicago in -10 degree weather at 2:00am, and then recognized an actor from an mainly-black show, and decided to use the noose they just happened to be carrying around. Absolutely absurd story. But, like everything else, they believed. Then they probably just deleted their tweets later on. (Don’t you think the delete function should be removed from these social media sights?)
Then came the Cohen testimony…... which of course the Dems delayed multiple times until it aligned exactly with Trump’s trip to North Korea. I’m fine with political norms being destroyed for the right reasons, but trying to turn domestic fake investigations into international distractions is unforgivable. Anyway, the testimony itself was once again, embarrassing. These televised events show how out of touch our leaders are; if they knew how embarrassed we are for them acting like children, I just can’t believe they’d continue to do this. As pointed out throughout the testimony, this is unprecedented territory, as this is the first time that a convicted felon, who also lied to Congress.....is being used as a credible witness.....from Congress. LOL!! Cohen provided little more than a “I’m so very, very sorry that I got caught breaking the law for so many years” sentiment, but actually did further kill the Russian collllluuuussion narrative. He did nothing related to collusion. He saw nothing related to collusion.
So, the following day, hard evidence proving Cohen lied during his testimony hits the airwaves. Multiple interviews where he says he really wanted a prominent position within the administration, and a book deal draft in which Cohen states all positive things about working for Trump are exposed. So he’s now going to be investigated further for perjury. Love it! It was also great that he admitted that while he was doing all these illegal acts, he “was a Democrat”, which I can only assume he believes will save him at this point. He needs to just stop and serve his time. Trying to be a cultural hero is backfiring. He visibly was on the verge of breaking down multiple times when being pressed by the Republicans. Fun to watch.
Lastly, did you read Lynne Patton’s post from last month about why Cohen really flipped on Trump? Google it. Apparently Mueller was prepared to go after Cohen's wife too, as she was involved in getting some fraudulent loans approved for Cohen's lavish lifestyle. That Patton is a bad@ss. She knows everyone involved, and thinks Cohen is scum.
OH, and Amazon leaves NYC before it even gets there! Why? Because the Liberal thought leader, Alexandria Occasional Cortex (AOC), thinks that the tax breaks given to Amazon is actual money sitting somewhere that could be used for other things. Yes, she actually said that “that money could be used to fix the subway system and hire more teachers.” Yes, she’s talking about money that anyone with a brain knows DOES NOT EXIST. …..and yet, she is an elected official in NYC. Wow.
Back to North Korea though. A deal was not closed on this trip. Not the best outcome, but the not the end of the world either. But of course, the "Get Trump" media and sheep jumped on it as a failure. But eventually many on the Left (including Pelosi, Schumer, several others, many MSM talking heads, etc.) agreed that this was the proper move given the circumstances. The US still has- and will always will- have all the power. Kim asked for most of the sanctions against NK to be lifted, Trump said no, and that was it. North Korea is still feeling the pain. The US is feeling no pain as a result. Kim will be back. He has an incredible opportunity being given to him by the US to transform NK into a real global economy, and become a national hero. It will happen.
Remember Avenatti? Guess he’s over on R Kelly now. LOL!
Remember Colluuuusion? LOL!! After 2.5 years of "investigating" Trump, zero indictments. ZERO.
Mueller isn’t coming.
The clown continues to be Flagpole.
Current status of Flagpole's Flagpole streak: 37+ months
Completely missed the Epic Flagboy streak yesterday! Just like the collusion narrative, he's going down in flames. It has been incredible to watch these last few years. So many posts, so little to show for it.
With Trump's approval rating basically as high as it's ever been (44.2% on RCP PoP), you've got to wonder if the fake investigation is ultimately going to help him in 2020.
The Intel community working to undermine democracy by letting one candidate off for actual crimes and destroying evidence (HRC/DNC), while spying on and setting up the other with a fake foreign collusion narrative will go down as the most disgraceful series of events in our federal government's history.
His approval rating is weird because it was never very good in the first place and it’s just kinda maintained the same level throughout his term. Low to mid 40s give or take a few % for the standard error. It drops as a knee jerk then rebounds to the low to mid 40s.
The question remains can he still win with a low to mid 40s approval?
The investigations in the House are building steam.
Beto I’m sure is running and if he can grass root nationally the way he did in TX....he will beat Trump in a landslide.Assuming he can weasel his way past the progressive monsters in the primary.
