  1. Don’t panic liberals, the #USELESSGOP won’t do a thing that’s useful, so you’re safe.

    The word you’re looking for obstructionists.

    “The single biggest obstacle to prosecuting violent leftists is judges and prosecutors in deep blue areas who think violence is OK if you’re a leftist. This is why we must get rid of the blue slip process.

    It’s an institutional safeguard that has long outlives its purpose.”

    “@JDVance is right. Why should just one Senator be able to use a “blue slip” to prevent the entire US Senate from fully considering a presidential appointment for a federal judgeship or US Attorney?”

  2. “BREAKING: A JAW-DROPPING report from the House just confirmed the left-wing D.C. police chief FALSIFIED crime statistics, “cooking the books” to make the city seem MUCH safer than it was.

    – Chief Smith PUNISHED and RETLIATED if they tried to report rising crime data, BERATING them

    – Chief Pam Smith PRESSURED commanders to lower crime stats “by any means necessary”

    – Chief Smith pushed for lesser charges -EVEN for serious crimes

    – Required certain crimes to be reviewed by her office

    WOW.”

    “This is happening in every major city in America. The communists have opened the jails and flooded their communities with animals. Then they’re lying about the crime numbers so people won’t catch on.

    D.C. is just the one we know about cause Congress has access to their books.”

    “Every Liberal crying about Trump’s mean tweet today would dance on his grave for years in the most vile way possible if anything happened to him.

    So spare me the fake outrage.”

    “This Trump tweet about the guy who spent a decade slandering him in the most despicable ways possible provides the perfect opportunity for that kind of weak, feminine pseudo-conservative to do what they love best – join the left in whining like little $#@%*#@ about how actual conservatives are so…so…soo…oh well I never!

    You wonder why we got Trump? Look in the mirror.”

    “Reiner specifically and personally attacked Trump for a decade in the most hateful terms. Not generically, not over politics, but personally and repeatedly.

    So, if Trump wants to give his condolences – which he did – while pointing out Reiner’s actions – which he accurately recited – that’s fine. You can posture your fussy fake virtue if you want, but it’s embarassing.”

  5. “I don’t like the post from Trump about Reiner. It was not necessary or in good taste.

    That being said, I am mercilessly mocking the leftists who cheered when Rush died, who cheered when Herman Cain died and who cheered when Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered and are now clutching their pearls like Keith Olberman.

    When you spend your whole life being a nasty piece of work, it becomes very difficult for people to have respect for you upon your death. While I don’t agree with that personally, because I think death transcends all of that, you don’t get to be a piece of garbage and then also clutch your moral pearls because you are morally bankrupt.

    I loathe hypocrisy.

    Thanks for your attention to this matter.”

  6. Here’s about where I’m at on the whole thing.

    “The same people whose rhetoric inspired the assassination of Charlie Kirk and two assassination attempts against Trump—mocked you for praying when a Catholic Church full of kids was shot up, who minimized the murders of Laken Riley and Iryna Zarsutka, laughed when a woman was beat to within an inch of her life in Cincinnati, said Charlie had it coming, mocked and celebrated his murder, attacked his widow, mocked how she held a tissue while crying, and called her a slut for hugging the Vice President, are demanding you put on a veil and eulogize their beloved, hate-filled celebrity.

    No. Absolutely not. We’re not playing your little game.”

  8. And the #USELESSGOP continues to nothing about this out of control fraud of a judge.

    “DC appellate court panel to Jeb Boasberg just now:

    …..

    Judges suggest Boasberg’s criminal contempt inquiry is out of order (as DOJ did as well) and wants to know why he’s pursuing an “indirect” contempt charge without first referring for prosecution per federal criminal procedures”

  9. Told ya, Comey and Wray should be held accountable for sedition and treason, but that’s not how we do things in the cesspool known as DC.

    “BREAKING: The corrupt Obama DOJ, including James Comey and Andrew McCabe, explicitly blocked efforts to criminally investigate the Clinton Foundation in 2016 because they did not “want to create any impression we are investigating the Clinton Foundation or the Clintons,” according to new evidence released today by Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.

    Documents show that federal agents were blocked from issuing subpoenas about the Clinton Foundation or conducting interviews with or about the Clintons in order to protect them from scrutiny during the 2016 election. At the same time, the Obama FBI was using the bogus, Clinton-funded dossier as pretext for illegally spying on the Trump campaign.”

  10. Re: the earlier posts about the reactions to Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.

    So what they are saying is that conservatives are no better than liberals in how they respond, or should respond, to things like this. There is no “taking the high road,” no “being the better person.” No grace.

    Apparently, they were not listening when their mothers taught them that just because other kids do it doesn’t mean that they can do it, too.

    Or reading in the Bible about turning the other cheek.

    Nope. We, and our leaders, can be just as bad and graceless as the ones we put down for being bad and graceless. They did it first, Mommy!

  11. The positive thing to say about Trump is that he told the truth when he admitted not having a heart for his enemies like Charlie Kirk did.

    We are all flawed in our own unique ways. Yes, we realize that! Hopefully, as Christians, we strive to improve each and every day. Thanks for the reminder, again, Kizzie, that we each can do better at following Jesus. Do you have ways you are working on that for yourself? I am still reading passages from the Bible and looking for what God says about holiness. Sometimes I am convicted of ways I can improve. We are all in process of sanctification. He has Gotcha moments with each of us.

  12. Kizzie pretty much summed it up. I will add that one should expect more from leaders and authority figures

    Tychicus — there are at least two explanations — many corporate donors are waiting or abstaining from donating as Trump may look down upon it and take it personal. That is, Trump has a chilling effect. Secondly, it may appear Biden’s voters are the working and middle class of the country who can’t afford large donations for what is essentially a vanity project for retiring presidents.

  13. Janice – Yes, of course I am always seeking to grow closer to God, deeper in my faith and trust in Him, and in His word. And I recognize my own sinfulness, and my need for Jesus, more as the years go on.

    I will confess here that after posting that, I regretted the tone I took. This isn’t the first time that I have seen bad behavior of conservatives excused because the liberals do it, too, or did it first, and I admit that my annoyance at seeing it yet again got the better of me. My apologies to anyone who was offended by that.

  14. Thank you, Kizzie. We are all unique even though conservatives or liberal. Those are such big and wide boxes that people get crammed into when people are trying to find flaws with one side or the other. I think most who are considered conservative here have long expressed that we don’t really like a lot of what Trump says about particular topics. We do appreciate a lot of what his policies and actions have accomplished and that he does what he promises to do if at all possible, more so than most,any other who has served in a political position.

  15. I am reading in Psalm 97 today with my online group.

    The last verse in the passage reads, “May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!”

    That is an excellent thing to do during this special Advent season. When we dwell in praise and adoration of Him we are not dwelling in finding fault with others. He does want us to love one another above all. I don’t think l9ving one another involves setting traps to hopefully catch someone in sin. Let the cops do that!

  16. Janice – Unfortunately, political discussions do tend to focus more on what is going wrong than on what is going right. And how bad “the other side” is. And in the case here, also how bad our own supposed side (#USELESSGOP) is. 😀

  17. Expect more from leaders and authority figures? I will guarantee more blind eyes are turned when it comes from the left. But boy howdy let a conservative and or Republican mess up one little bit and the wolves are on the hunt and devour!! The hypocrisy is off the charts on this one. And no we do not excuse the insensitive remarks coming from anyone but truly…let’s look at what’s at the heart of the matter…the heart….

  18. President Trump has been attacked from the left like no other. I would surmise he gets fed up with the lies and distortions of his character. Like it or not he is human and he has so much on his plate life has to be overwhelming at times. He should have weighed his feelings and thoughts before speaking . Reiner was an enemy of his by Reiners own choosing as a leftist activist. Let me remind of what he said upon learning President Trump was shot…

    Rob Reiner

    @robreiner •

    Finally, the cancer on our democracy is gone. Donald Trump, the lying, cheating, fascist con man, has left this world.

    America, let’s heal and never let another like him rise.

    Good riddance.
