Resistance



A man is known by the company he keeps -- Aesop


Some of you dear readers fashion yourselves as members of the "Resistance" ... or those who dislike, even despise President Trump. This is not an insignificant cadre. It involves most of Hollywood, many athletes, much of the Main Stream Media, many foreign leaders, Pelosi Democrats, and even many establishment Republicans. Quite a formidable group!

However, the Resistance also includes:

- Peter Fonda who wants Baron Trump to be placed in a cage with a pedophile. And Trump's DHS Secretary, Kristjen Nielsen should be placed naked in another cage and poked with sticks by passer-bys. (A little too Freudian, no?)

- Kathy Griffen who pretends to cut off Trump's head and proudly holds up this bloody trophy.

- Stephan Colbert who says on TV that Trump sucks Putin's cock ("cock holster")

- ANTIFA has published on the Internet the names and home addresses of ICE agents

- Sarah Silverman who openly called for a "military coup" against Trump

- Democratic Socialists of America protesters  drove Ms. Nielsen from a DC restaurant and, the next day, surrounded her home shouting threatening messages.

- Occupy Wall Street is advocating the killing of ICE agents

- Madonna, at the Women's March, said  she wanted to blow up Trump's White House

- Joy Behar of "The View," when she heard about someone dying in a Trump Tower fire, hoped it was President Trump

- A number of FBI agents and DOJ officials who actively worked to "stop" Trump being elected ... and likely used the power of their agency to do so .. and some may still be trying to oust him.

- Countless CNN, MSNBC and over-the-air TV channel anchors who have likened Trump to Hitler, Musolimi, a Nazi, KKKer, "f-you's", etc.


The list goes on and on and on ... ate you Resisters happy to be associated with this pond scum?

No. The advantage of being a moderate is that you can disassociate from the scum and the swamp. Still, Trump’s incendiary style, legislation-by-tearing-up-agreements, and obvious emoluments — all are destructive, none are constructive paths forward IMHO.

The trouble is that the media doesn't force progs to disassociate themselves from these birds ... like Conservatives are forced to ... over and over and over again.

ChillFin said...

What do you mean? Why don't Conservatives dissociate from wingnuts like Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and Sarah Palin? Don't conservatives want to debate whether Fox News is really the singular source of truth?

George W. Potts said...

Many do ... every time they are interviewed. Are you saying Sarah Palin and Peter Fonda are equivalemt?

ChillFin said...

It’s pretty close...
Actually his crude comments are closer to those of Laura Ingraham and Anne Coulter.

George W. Potts said...

I had to say this ... but I think you are dreaming ...

ChillFin said...

The fringes on both sides - actually within 10% of the fringe - should be observed privately while incursions into the other fringe should be avoided. It'll help keep both of us sane (Den too!) For example, if you enjoy the housewives of xyz, joel osteen, and swamp people... keep it to yourself.

George W. Potts said...

Express yourself but be sensible. Sarah Palin never called for Sasha Obama to be raped by a pedophile. Even firebrand Ann Coulter would never do that.

DEN said...

This may surprise you but it is possible to dislike Trump for being a liar and incompetent and at the same time to condemn the cited sentiments of Peter Fonda, et al.
Labeling anyone who criticizes Trump as Resisters is pure demagoguery.

George W. Potts said...

Look at the picture again. The resisters have proudly named themselves! Remember the attorney on Mueller's team ... who he just ler go ... had texted 'Vive le Resistance'?

DEN said...

Hah! None of your readers is calling themselves "The Resistance." Although I really haven't checked with the other three.
In the fakest of fakery you use a picture you found on the on the internet to scurrilously besmirch a majority of sane people who voted against your candidate. And will again.

George W. Potts said...

You persist in your denial of the obvious ...

George W. Potts said...

I am beginning to suspect that you approve of Peter Fonda, Maxine Waters, Madonna, and the rest of those wnngnut resisters and what they are doing. Are you going to herass me the next time I eat at a restaurant?

ChillFin said...

You miss my point. The crazies at the extremes are all barely making sense in their deranged states. Admittedly the "entertainment" commenters need to have editors and stay on script. I am appalled at the crude sexual/potty comments from so many liberal extremists, and so too with "conservative" commenters on extreme right news sites who seem at ease with treating brown skinned people as chattel and criminals. I really do not expect that a young mother with an infant is MS-13.

ChillFin said...

I am not of the "resistance." Moderate. Independent. Perhaps libertarian. The debates and comments away from the fringes are more reasoned and thoughtful.

BTW we are working our way through Steve Bannon's whiteboard: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/4/16097930/steve-bannon-whiteboard-trump-agenda

DEN said...

You do me wrong, Sir, to suspect me of approving deplorable statements by fringe lefty demagogues. I demand satisfaction on the field of honor.
