He did it. He left the White House.

AND: "We will be back — in some form.... Have a good life. We will see you soon."

He walked up to that last stage to the tune of "Hail to the Chief" and walked off to "YMCA."

I just have to avoid the news today. Biden is becoming president and I'll wait and see how that goes. But I can't stand the fawning reporting of it. The NYT editors tweeting they have chills watching his plane land, or David Chilian on CNN saying the lights at the reflecting pool look like Joe Biden's arms reaching out to embrace America.

As soon as Trump leaves...the TV is going off. I don't care about China Joe being President. Let it fall.....God Bless America, and God Bless President Trump.

Just remember...at 12:01 pm....any Covid Death in America is Joe Bidens fault. That's how the game is played, right??

Temujin said...

Yep. Watched the Marine One take off. And the TV is now shut off. Onward and upward.

I don't usually care about the transition from one President to the next. This one feels like a gut punch. It just still feels wrong. And I'm not sure me, or 74 million others, will get over it easily.

As Biden said, his handlers will be handlers for all Americans, not just the ones that voted for him.

Trump did his best, as promised, to stand up for the "forgotten man". He took on the Deep State head on for all of us.

Now the Susan Rice administration will start cancelling, and hunting the forgotten man.

So far, Biden has refused to halt a divisive impeachment, questioned the loyalty of the troops, sparked an immigration crisis, and surrender to China via energy policy. He hasn’t even started yet.’

Time to re-read Barbara Olson's book Final Days about the last days of the Clinton administration to refresh my memory about how the Clintons behaved, and the many people (including scumbags) that Clinton gave pardons to, during his final days in office because you won't hear about any of that on the news.

Shock and Awe begin at noon. Biden’s owners have had four years (and more) to prepare for this moment. They are not going to waste it.

Trump was defeated by his own bureaucracy.

For a guy who considered running for president for decades, he never built a retinue of loyalists to place in key positions in the agencies.

From a policy standpoint, he was a minor miracle of common sense and pragmatism.

I learned an ugly lesson here. Your CEO must be the best bureaucratic game player in the room.

Trump was constantly snookered by his own bureaucracy, starting with Comey on day one.

I’d like for reality to be different, but it isn’t.

There is no way you can use the word "reality" without quotation marks around it.

I thought that was Nabokov, but some sources say Joseph Campbell. I never trusted Nabokov with little girls, but it's too early in the morning to hear CNN pontificating wall to wall about "reality." What are they going to do without Trump, and how do they have any audience at all after four years of telling the world what "reality" really is 24/7?

Boo Hoo...all their juicy fantasies of frog marching Trump out of the White House, dragging him out in cuffs are blown to smithereens.

OH...BTW---->Harbinger of things to come. Two of our regional banks have ceased to offer fixed rate 30 yr mortgages at the current low rates. They are only offering variable rates with no caps or restrictions on how the rate can change. (Maybe on 15 yr terms as well)

This means that they KNOW that interest rates and inflation are going to skyrocket under the O'Biden socialist regime and they don't want to get caught with a subpar, low rate, long term loan portfolio.

Hang on to your knickers!!! Get ready. It is going to get ugly in your portfolios IRAs 401Ks.

He flies away from his disastrous term leaving behind the carnage that has resulted from his incompetence and lies: 400,000 deaths from COVID-19, a botched roll out of the vaccines, and an army that has to occupy WAshington DC because his grand lie inspired a riot that just missed harming Vice President Pence by minutes. in contrast Biden and members of congress start the day in prayer at church getting ready to steer a steady course.

Well, quite a few commenters on this thread for one. Of course, you did specify "in their right minds". I'm not sure that applies to Qwinn, Achilles, Shouting Thomas, et. al.-- or even you (the financial advisor who pretends she doesn't know how a progressive income tax works) for that matter.

Shouting Thomas said….For a guy who considered running for president for decades, he never built a retinue of loyalists to place in key positions in the agencies.

I understand realpolitik, but Trump built a loyal following of 75 million plus voters that handed him a massive election victory. In theory we’re supposed to be in charge, but the 2020 election fraud solidified the reality that we’re not. Now we are “domestic terrorists” for pretending we were.

Trump didn’t sell his soul. With Biden, everything is for sale; even his soul. Today we install an un-elected ruler whose realpolitik loyalists will control him, our military, and many more aspects of our lives and diminishing freedoms.

It was nice to have a President, who kept us out of war. Washington D.C. hated him for it.

Shouting Thomas said...

Trump was not responsible for 400,000 virus deaths. The Chinese were.

roesch is really malevolent dummy. He’s repeating CCP propaganda, disseminated by the Democrats, that it was racist to blame the Chinese for what they actually did.

This roesch guy is really a stooge.

Biden is a thug, a guy with a long history of being a Democratic Party hit man. The notion of Democrats gathering to pray is laughable. The Democratic Party is engaged in a war against orthodox Christians and Jews.

You can repeat the "democrat war machine" nonsense as much as you want, but the middle east wars we have fought since the first Gulf War have been initiated by Republicans. Trump has supported Saudi Arabia in the genocidal war in Yemen.

Shouting Thomas said...

And the bureaucracy cleverly snookered him out of that massive election victory.

A CEO’s first job is to control and direct the federal bureaucracy.

It’s a mystery to me how Trump failed to recognize and defeat the unconstitutional last minute mail-in ballot laws. All I can figure is that he didn’t have a sufficient organization reach in key states to know what was going on and to defeat the fraud.

So, that’s on him, too.

Wendybar, lefties do not even blame Obama for the deaths in Iraq or Afghanistan under his terms.

This should not be happening. Such a disgrace is our election system. No way to be certain from either side how many legal votes were cast and for whom. We were living under a mirage of competency when it was anything but. Now that we know, what can we do? Who will lead us from this place? Certainly not the soon-to-be P/VP.

80 to 75 million is close. It's almost 1/2 of the registered voters of the country. As for the electoral college - I don't want wackos like you and the ones who live in California, New York, Illinois and Massachusetts to have that much power over the rest of us. You've proven that you're all unhinged to the point of dangerous.

Long live the Electoral College.

"who is going to win the fight to clean up our fraud-filled vote system?"

The Democrats will as soon as they ram through HR 1 - The For the People Act. Takes every bad, fraudulent practice from the recent election and makes it national law for all Federal elections: unrestricted mail-in voting, no requirement for photo id, creating registered voters automatically from any government data base (driver's licenses, tax rolls, jury lists, etc.) without audits, etc. It even seeks to overturn by legislation the Citizens United decision. It is a really stunning piece of crap.

Say goodbye to fair and honest elections forever.

My wife and I are thankful for all the good President Trump has done, and there has been a lot of it. We also anticipate Biden-Cackles will work hard to help Americans appreciate and miss Trump and his administration.

Th ese words from Daniel Greenfield caught my attention this morning...

“D.C. isn't under military guard to protect our government, but a partisan political agenda. The Democrats didn't want troops in D.C. when their own were rioting during President Trump's inauguration or violently attacking the White House. They don't need 25,000 troops to stop a few hundred protesters. They need them as a show of force to suppress political opposition.

Biden and the Democrats are using a military deployment for a show of political force, using a manufactured crisis to rally support behind their radical agenda, while suppressing dissent...

...America is not a banana republic. There is no place for military theater, lists of enemies, or declaring political opponents to be enemies of the state. The Democrats have already embraced fascism before even formally taking power. Fascists always claim to be seizing power in reaction to an emergency. The manufactured emergency is here. The power grab comes next.“

I feel grateful to Trump for the last 4 years. By God, he tried.

He stood alone against a political onslaught like no other President has had to endure.
There is only so much one man alone could do. Tell me, who could have done better?
He approached his job every day with energy and optimism. I think he believed that at bottom, his opponents truly loved their country and it's people and would put that first.
About that, he was wrong.

As if there were ever any even remote chance that he wouldn't leave the White House.

I believe the judgment of history will be that Donald Trump was a seriously flawed individual who was, however, hard done by and it may difficult, perhaps impossible, to assess which was more significant in determining the course of his presidency or even if those two things can be separated at all.

I predict there will be many books written about Trump for many, many years and he will be viewed as one of the more consequential presidents we've ever had.

But I could be wrong.

50 years from now, even 20 years from now? It's easy to stay frozen in the moment but time keeps moving and what seems so significant now, how people and issues are to be judged, it doesn't stay the same.

That's rich. Early this morning, Trump signed an order CANCELING his own Executive Order 13770, entitled "Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees," which had forbidden former executive branch employees from working as federal government lobbyists for a period of five years after their executive branch service.

It was the one thing that Trump's press people could point to, trying to support the notion that Trump was "draining the swamp" of Washington. Trump just erased it.

OH...BTW---->Harbinger of things to come. Two of our regional banks have ceased to offer fixed rate 30 yr mortgages at the current low rates. They are only offering variable rates with no caps or restrictions on how the rate can change. (Maybe on 15 yr terms as well)
>>

Sorry if you didn't see my advice.

I leveraged up on all my real estate after the stolen election at low low fix rates.

Transferred cash to offshore bank. Worst thing that happens is I let the banks take the properties.

Best thing that happens is that inflation wipes out that debt and I still have a ton of money. And no, not dollars.

Anyway, if the 30 yr is offered again (I suspect it will be), do the above. You'll be happy you did in 5 years.

Hard as it is for me to accept that Trump was defeated, even if by fraud, I do not think he failed in any important way. He did change the way we look at the world, at politics, at populism. He was, as Shouting Thomas said above, undone in part by his underlings but even there he moved the ball downfield. We on the right now are fully aware of the dark forces within our own ranks. The entire world now sees things that were hidden before.

Trump was a historic president. The effects of that fact will continue to reverberate even within the Biden administration.

"in contrast Biden and members of congress start the day in prayer at church getting ready to steer a steady course."

Hilarious. The abortion sacrament was on the altar, I assume.

Every good left-wing regime has an established Progressive Church to normalize social progress and social justice. On the bright side, their CCP partners have evolved from the Great Leap (i.e. Planned Population) to one-child (i.e. minority choice) to selective-child (i.e. delegated choice) and concentration camps.

Trump destroyed the Bush legacy.

Obama, first, with Iraq War 2.0: wars without borders and transnational terrorism.

Trump destroyed Obama's legacy with peace in the Middle East spreading to Africa, confronting progressive prices and availability in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, educational accountability, urban reform, civil rights (e.g. freedom from spying), human rights (e.g. emigration reform, Pro-Life), standing up to diversity (i.e. color judgments not limited to racism), etc.

There has never been a federal election. Thats kind of the point. If the States understood civics they would would take it to a federal judge and get it overturned. Just like Citizens United. That why I don't know how to overcome the Democrat corruption.

I asked a month ago what was the proper way to adrress all the voting fraud, never got an answer. Judges refused to get involved in a Political matter. Because they liked the outcome. Same with reforms. Judges want the corruption. I don't pretend to understand their motivation.

He flies away from his disastrous term leaving behind the carnage that has resulted from his incompetence and lies: 400,000 deaths from COVID-19, a botched roll out of the vaccines, and an army that has to occupy WAshington DC


Again we see the juvenile analysis required to support left wing beliefs. In the US internal executive power is held by Governors. But because the left is only interested in political fallout they will always blame the nearest Republican regardless of reality. This is also why US governance is so pathetic compared to other countries. Because the left accepts no responsibility they never work to improve. At least European countries care about their performance.

Our Covid response has been poor because our states are led by people who value anti-racism posturing more than lives. Pelosi, Cuomo, and De Blasio famously advocated attending Chinese New Year because it was an opportunity to call others racist. Essentially everyone on the left opposed the travel ban again because it was more important to attack others as racist.

Meanwhile the government healthcare systems were largely useless. Their contributions were to mandate LTCFs accept covid positive patients (rather than segregating them) and screwing up the vaccine priority for political reasons. The result has been unnecessary deaths among LTCF populations, slow vaccine rollouts, and some facilities throwing out vaccine because the government threatens financial ruin if their restrictive directives aren't followed.

But instead of understanding these decisions the left blames their scapegoat. Meanwhile two of the people most responsible for increased deaths are are lionized on national media and spoken of as a Presidential candidate (Andrew Cuomo) and promoted to US Assistant Health Secretary responsible for the covid response (Rachel Levine). When you're a Democrat competence simply isn't relevant.

Note that the Dems over-reaction now is an effort to erase their original error in not treating Covid seriously. Compare this to the 25,000 troops, another absurd over-reaction. Each is engaged in not because of the tactical situation but because the over-reaction is consistent with the narrative they want to sell: that Dems were restrictive on Covid and that the June 6 riot is a serious and continuing threat. Their reaction is entirely designed to drive their desired political outcome.

The Democratic Super PAC, The Lincoln Project, claims to stand for everything right and just in a democratic society. They say the group’s moral fiber is second to none. Well, co-founder John Weaver just proved how the organization is full of hot air by admitting he has inappropriate conversations with minors of the male variety.

The context: During the past week, several men have alleged on social media that Weaver sent them unsolicited and sexually suggestive messages, sometimes coupled with offers of employment or political advancement.

rcocean said...

His farewell speech given yesterday, and these remarks were classy and brilliant. Trump has 75 million followers and he'll have to decide what he wants to do. He's 74, so I wonder if he cares enough to make a 2nd Run at the Presidency. Unlike many of his followers, he doesn't seem to bear a grudge against the Deep Staters, RINO Republican's, and back-stabbers like McConnell, Ryan, and Romney.

Its hard to remember with the Constant Media DNC Media barrage, but Trump won in 2020, and got 10 million more votes in 2020, then he did in 2016. He 2/3 of the vote in Pennsylvania on election day. Y'know when REAL PEOPLE showed up and voted. Most people I know, don't understand how Trump was responsible for ANY violence, don't understand why the Republican Establishment let Biden steal the election, or why we need 25,000 Troops in DC to guard our cowardly Senators and Congressmen from non-existent threats.

Gahrie said...

rcocean said...

Hopefully, unlike Trump, his followers will stay angry and punish the RINO traitors in 2022 by voting them out of office. Of course, my hopes aren't high. The record of the Republican voter over the last 30 years is one of unending stupidity. That Trump got nominated and elected twice was a miracle.

Proof - Biden is a tightly controlled puppet of the far left.

For higher-profile remarks, [Biden would] obsessively rehearse portions until he committed them to memory. And at times through the various iterations of outlining remarks, Biden could grow downright ornery.

“I would never say this,” Biden once snapped at an aide, aghast over the prepared remarks he was reviewing, according to a person in the room during a speech prep session last year. “Where did you get this from?’”

The aide explained that Biden had just said it in a public speech a couple of weeks earlier.


hooray! we've rid ourselves of the horrible celebrity and inserted a tired old swamp creature who used his name to enrich his family with corrupt international - tax payer laundered mega-millions.

You can repeat the "democrat war machine" nonsense as much as you want, but the middle east wars we have fought since the first Gulf War have been initiated by Republicans.
