This Is How We Keep Trump

A rising economic tide will left Trump's ship, at least through the midterms. Timing being everything, we wonder what the Fed will be up to by late 2019 when the Presidential contest will be underway, but sufficient unto the day.

First. (And only). How many Franken rump squeezes will we have by end of day?

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

If I have a Franken rump squeeze by the end of the day he's going to have a larger gap between his front teeth than Letterman.
Admittedly the contingency is a remote one.
Gotta go.

[henry]

Don't worry, the left and the usual suspects* will kill the tax bill, and thus the economy.

*The playbook activists are deploying is similar; with groups targeting key senators they hope to get to a no vote, including Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME) and John McCain (R-AZ).

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

The second Al Franken accuser (Minnesota State Fair) posted a contemporaneous account on Facebook.

This should keep Schumer busy today, as it wasn't PRIOR to Franken's election, but afterwards.

[JimNorCal]

2018 will be an interesting midterm.
On one hand, media, GOPe, Dems, celebs, the professoriate, international elites, resisting federal employees, illegals, and other groups have been frothing since a year ago.
OTOH, what Trump voter will change his mind and boost Big State?
Maybe GOPe haters will stay home. ("I'm voting Kelli Ward, THAT'S IT!").
Maybe ethical Dems who sat out Hillary will return.
Dems did well in the recent off-elections.

It will be interesting see if there will be a decided flow, or chaos.

Meanwhile, I will meditate on RBG's fragile health, and on Justices Kennedy and Thomas potential desire to retire.

Or maybe "right" Trump if you think the deck is tilting.

[Extraneus]

I have as big a schadenboner as the next guy over these libs being launched by their own petards, but what exactly was so "inappropriate" about this?

Thrush and the young woman met at her colleague’s going-away party at a bar near the Politico newsroom, she told me, and shared a few rounds of drinks in a booth. The night, she said, ended on a Washington street corner, where Thrush left her in tears after she resisted his advances.

Or this?

On that night five years ago, I joined Thrush and a handful of other reporters for a few rounds at the Continental, a Politico hangout in Rosslyn, Virginia. At first, nothing seemed strange, until the crowd had dwindled down to Thrush, me, and one other female colleague.

Thrush tossed a $20 bill at her and told her to take a cab and leave us, “the grown-ups,” alone. He slid into my side of the booth, blocking me in. I was wearing a skirt, and he put his hand on my thigh. He started kissing me. I pulled myself together and got out of there, shoving him on my way out.

[danoso]

Does anyone know -- what the most recent complaint against Moore? It appears to be 1991. Doesn't that come across as odd? Sexual predators don't just stop (witness Bill Clinton), yet there's apparently nothing on the judge for the last 25+ years.

[derwill]

Any day now we will see an op ed from the NYT that the only way to stop all this sexual misconduct/assault/harassment is for women to wear burkas, thanks be to Allah.

And for all persons possessing the Y chromosome to go trans, all the way.

And for a Constitutional amendment banning all cis-gendered white males from voting or holding office.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Extraneus,

Unwanted advances, I guess.

He does seem to use his pose as a mentor of young female reporters as a chance to make passes at them.

What he is is a phony.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

derwill,

What is bad about this is that it is conflating REAL sexual assault and extreme harassment with guys making passes or doing something innocuous, like complimenting women too much.

Thrush probably isn't a serious predator, but given both his pose as a mentor and his assistance to the Clinton campaign, I don't mind seeing him embarrassed a bit.

This "me too" tweet appeared on reddit. I'm putting it out here, because it has neither more nor less credibility than what any of Moore's accusers are claiming.

https://i.redd.it/fqyformt34zz.jpg

The trouble with the rule that every accuser must be believed, regardless of corroborating evidence, is that you have created a petard, upon which you can become hoisted at any time.

[Man Tran]

Anonamom,

Tried to catch you yesterday:

Have you heard of any precautions about taking you vitamins before bedtime because coffee (caffeine) negates the effect?

On a separate note, last summer we had coffee (heh) with A(bub)'s doctor son and mentioned that a Dr. Stone in SF was curing bad knees with stem cells for $100 grand a side. We just found out Thursday that a local pal of ours is getting it done in Seattle for $11K for both sides as an outpatient!
Have you heard of that?

And on my own progress, after finishing my first bottle of magnesium, I've noticed both a resurgence of dreaming and a distinct improvement in that moment when you are trying to recall a name or event that is the next element in your conversation.

[derwill]

Miss M, I sure missed that point in time where we went from the "hook-up" culture to "He put his hand on my thigh, OMG, eleventy!!"

This is another one of those mass hysteria bubbles that seem to be afflicting Liberals lately. That the hysteria seems to be consuming more men on the left than on the right is delicious to watch in the moment, but it isn't healthy, because, as you say, we're losing our ability to discern the difference between making a pass at a woman you find sexually attractive and assaulting four teenagers on a plane dubbed Air F**k One.

[Duda rides again!]

Wait!Wait wait wait wait!!!!!

Franken goes but Trump the pussy grabber stays on? A grab on the ass brings a Democrat Senator down but violently grabbing numerous women by their vaginas gets a Republican elected President?

What about Rapey Roy and his sexual molestation of a little girl or the litany of teenage girls who said he hunted them. What about the little girl he had pulled from her classroom so he could talk to her on the phone.Was he masturbating while she giggled about her dolls?You know he was. If he wanted sex form that little girl then he was masturbating over her.

Roy Moore is a folk hero among Republicans.

So,the right claim that you can rape children as long as you're a Republican and believe in Jesus. But,according to Trump supporters.....you can't touch a woman's ass if you're a Democrat.

[Duda rides again!]

If Al Frankenstien(sigh) goes then we need to revisit President Pussy fingers past accusers, including Inava Trump's deposition of when the President raped her in her asshole for 30 minutes because of a bad hair job.

What about Trump walking through the dressing rooms of teens and hanging around.

We need to revisit this ALLLLLLL YEEEEEAAAAR LOOOOOOOOOONG day in day out,article after article, televised interview after televised interview. We need to do it now,during the midterms and right around the time Tom Maguire wants to "Keep Trump".

We need to hear the pussy story over and over and over.

Thank you Al franken.

[Jane - not "in"]

Wasn't there supposed to be some big reveal today?

[Captain Hate]

Not surprisingly I'm 100% with derwill's comments about someone maybe misinterpreting signals in a social setting being lumped in with Slick knowingly banging underaged cooch. That it happened to a lefty douche is scant comfort because it promotes the agenda of those gynecologist nightmares that all sex is rape because of patriarchy or something wynnynnz studies related.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

JimNorCal,

If Alabama is like Indiana, a lot of people are talking. The original accuser (and the others) are known to people in the state, and gossip about this will travel fast.

I would bet after the initial news, people got to talking and things were said that won't make it into the press.

I agree Alabamans dono't like to be told what to do, and that's part of it. The other part is the people weighing the veracity ofo the accusers.

[Duda rides again!]

"Also, after taxes are done they are going to start on welfare reform"

No, they're going to start on entitlement reform including Social security,Medicare and medicaid because you can't give a trillion dollars to the Uber rich and not pay for the damn thing.

Ha ha ha...welfare reform....that's sooo cute...the way you call it one thing but....mean another.....ha ha ha ha ha ha welfare form.

[rich]

was just waiting for what Appalled dublindobbs had to say.

we're still going on about this?

[JimNorCal]

Two theories put forth at Instapundit:

1) Biden’s polling may look good, but he has a history of wandering hands that is simply incompatible with the new normal. He’s a political dead man.

2) this will all be old news by 2019.

I'd bet on "1". To me this seems like a culture tipping point that is hitting random targets, not a sculpted political ploy.

I am starting to lose the ability to distinguish MSM "facts" from parody. Especially when the parody rings truer than the MSM "facts."

According to Franken's defenders he should be allowed to stay in the Senate because when you're a famous celebrity you can grab them by the boob/butt/pussy and "they let you."

That it happened to a lefty douche is scant comfort because it promotes the agenda of those gynecologist nightmares that all sex is rape because of patriarchy or something wynnynnz studies related.

The fact that it's happening to lefty douches is the ONLY thing that will slow this madness down. When it starts really costing the progs - when it's their politicians who get hounded out of office, their businesses that get bankrupted, their friends and family members who get their lives publicly destroyed - that's when we'll see them begin to back off on the issue.

Nothing else will do it.

[derwill]

The Left has been trying to impose their party's Democratic Centralism on the entire country for years. It worked for a long time, but something happened in 2016, when enough of us normals simply stopped listening. That's why Trump got elected in spite of the pussy tape, in spite of Allred's parade of liars, in spite of the Red Scare, in spite of Literally Hitler, in spite of "you're all racist/homophobic/xenophobic deplorables."

Btw, after all the breathless headlines, here's what the general actually said:

I provide advice to the president, he will tell me what to do. And if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen? I'm going to say, 'Mr. President, that's illegal.' And guess what he's going to do? He's going to say, 'What would be legal?' And we'll come up with options, with a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that's the way it works. It's not that complicated.

[joan]

Appalled,
I won't represent myself as all jom-ers", I'm only one. But, you just don't understand -- the expose on Trump was talk. What is coming out now (and back during, for one, a governorship and a presidency) is, were, and was are acts, action, etc. There was proof. A stained dress. Pictures of a leering Democrat. Conduct.

Now I know you'd love to say 'what about Gloria Allred's 20 women?' But, on this, I have to shrug. I don't know what those women are complaining about -- does anyone? Did the president grope, bite, rape? Did he use his power to humiliate or use his power to keep women from advancing in their chosen profession? Where are the accusers?

The Billy Bush tape and transcript isn't shocking to people who've been around loud mouth, fairly ordinary men.

With all of this hedonistic behavior in our culture being revealed, how can you still be super-charged over a ridiculous tape that someone saved from years ago that contains vulgar language from a man who was only talking to another man? I don't get it.

[Threadkiller]

I don't get it.

If I told you he was trolling for a reaction and willfully obtuse to keep the reactions coming his way, would it make more sense?

[joan]

Yes, of course, TK. I don't usually respond to Appalled -- guess I have a time or two, but the faux outrage over that tape has always puzzled me.

Guess it's like your reaction to birth certificates. :) Or maybe not.

[Jim Eagle]

As an ex-nuclear weapons officer can I correct a number of media assumptions and even the General's misunderstood remarks in re an "illegal" order from POTUS authorizing a strike?

Within the National Command Authority there is something called the "Two Man Rule". POTUS has ultimate authority to call a pre-emptive or defensive use of Nukes without any recommendation or pass through from DoD. However, he must secure a second "endorsement" from the SecDef. No one at the launch center or in flight is going to commit any arming and release action without the Two Man Rule covering the order.

I think what the General was getting at is that if the POTUS still wants to proceed without the SecDef's endorsement, then POTUS would have to fire SecDef, go to the Deputy SecDef or the JCS for the Second Man approval. Doing on his own, makes it technically "illegal".

But again, as with any news story where you are not present for the full conversation and context you cannot depend on the reporter and his editors or paper to be 100% accurate and knowlegable of the topic.

Not exactly a reliable source, I would say. Buzzfeed's sources are voices in their heads.

What really needs to be asked is why someone in DC is interested in getting rid of McMaster, and who they think they can maneuver into the spot.

[Appalled]

joan:

One of my character flaws I will sometimes pound an issue into the dust rather than letting it go, and it is often a small point. In the case of the Access Hollywood tape, I have a specific belief as to what was said by Mr. Trump, and others here are equally convinced that Trump was talking about a different kind of situation. We're not convincing each other.

And sometimes, by pounding the small point into the ground, others think I am after some bigger point. In this case, not really. My twitter feed makes it clear that the Left wants to use the sexual harassment situations that are coming out to re litigate the charges against Trump, and there are avenues for the Left to do that. When I say just that, the TKs of the world figure I am accusing Trump of sexual harassment, which I am not.
