Silly Season


President Trump has said and tweeted some things that rub many people the wrong way. In fact I strongly suspect that Trump secretly relishes tweaking his detractors. And this tactic very often works. Liberals, progressives, much of the media, even many squishes in the establishment ,,, and their fellow travelers ... are tying themselves in granny knots to show their contempt for our newly elected president. It does seem that one is not allowed to go half-way in exhibiting one's "resistance" to Trump.

So we have a D-list comedian, Kathy Griffen, pretending to cut off Trump's bloody head, late-night TV and SNL sapping the imaginations of their writers trying to smear with innuendo and even slander Trump. We are even taken aback by Stephen Colbert saying that Trump is Putin's cock holster (implying fellatio). The list goes on and on exhaustively. Now we see the New York City Public Theater putting on Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in which Caesar is dressed as Trump and is stabbed to the cheers of the partisan crowd (described in the above paragraph) ... see: Daily Wire Story

This Trump "resistance" has become so commonplace, sophomoric, banal and even sinister that we are clearly entering a silly season. Liberals are straining at the yoke to find new ways of insulting Trump ... made even more frustratingly inane by the fact that these intended insults seem to roll right off of our president's back. As a result of this overdoing of this Trump Derangement Syndrome, those on the left are in danger of becoming parodies of themselves ... kinda like a skit out of Monty Python ... if they haven't crossed this threshold already.

    Nothing could be more sinister than having all the cabinet members recite like kindergarten children their praises, in a scripted form, for the so=called leader of the free world. Disgraceful. And this is the team you are rooting for. SAD

    1. From what I have seen of this meeting, I agree. It was ill advised.

    2. Hardly sinister though ...

    3. It gave me chills. Isn't this the kind of fawning praise that we associate with Putin's Russia, Kim's North Korea and Hitler's Germany? Chuck Schumer's parody was spot-on.

    4. Always avoid using Hitler in comparisons ...

    5. Maybe because of what happened today in Alexandria, VA?

  2. I just did what I should have done first ... I watched the full cabinet go-. basically round on YouTube. It was quite different from what I saw on MSNBC this AM. Basically each cabinet member gave a quick synopsis of what they had been doing in their department and, some then thanked Trump for his direction. This is what I know to be a typical staff meeting. The fake news networks then edited out just the thank your making it look like everyone was a toady. Far from it. These are a dedicated and accomplished group. May I humbly suggest that everyone watch the complete version and understand how our fake media are manipulating you.

    1. Forgive the two typos. OK, Priebus was fawning ...
