So you stating than the Trump administration, which has been in power for 1000 days, is so lame and powerless that it hasn't been able to remove all the State Department officials who were supportive of H. Clinton.

That's precisely what he is saying. But he won't acknowledge it because it gets in the way of a good conspiracy theory rant!

Do you believe in the ability of a tyrannical minority of self styled "superior" people who "know best". To overturn the election results of those similar matters you support and that your side won?

If not...

Understand that this belief can be used to destroy all that your majority won in a free and open election.


I have a good and current example of this too: in a recent presidential election, the first candidate received three million votes more than the second. Clearly the will of The People was for the first candidate to win. However a tyrannical minority of self-styled "superior" people who "know best" has made it that rather than electing the president, the voters are actually voting for 538 other self-styled "superior" people who "know best" who then vote for the President on their behalf... except that some of their votes count four times as much as others by geography, and sometimes, being self-styled "superior" people who "know best," they don't even vote for the candidate who won their district as they are directed to, because... reasons. Thus the election result, the will of the majority of The People, was overturned and the candidate with three million more votes lost.

Yet, strangely, so many of those that claim knowledge of 'self-styled "superior" people who "know best'" will deny vehemently that it applies to this situation, as if they are claiming that their own political system is somehow immune to the shortcomings of others...

So you stating than the Trump administration, which has been in power for 1000 days, is so lame and powerless that it hasn't been able to remove all the State Department officials who were supportive of H. Clinton.

This statement truly reveals your basic ignorance with regard to the structure of the US Government and the Civil Service.

The Deep State is entrenched. Period. They cannot be removed by simply firing even the unproductive ones due to Union interference and years of cronyism. If you don't believe that, talk to ANY US Postal or Government employee about that same issue. It's an old and very sick joke that the only way to remove one is with a coffin.

The Trump administration and others have tried to enact Civil Service reform including remedies for this situation but that has to go through Congress who themselves fight it tooth and nail as they are well aware that they would be the next item on the menu.

And to all those who criticize the withdrawal of US Forces from Syria....I guess I'm a little confused. When the US intervenes in a foreign conflict for humanitarian reasons, it's America's fault. And when the US does NOT intervene in a foreign conflict, for humanitarian reasons......it's STILL America's fault.

PICK A SIDE OF THE ROOM!
Understand that this belief can be used to destroy all that your majority won in a free and open election.

@Clyde
....which is exactly what is going to happen the next time the Dims gain power (it they haven't already pissed off enough voters to eliminate that possibility). The Conservative and a lot of Independent voters are growing tired of this never ending charade in Congress. The opposition sat pretty much quietly for eight years while Obama and Clinton went about trying to dismantle the Republic. They didn't 'scream at the sky' and openly weep or riot at rallies, confront and assault members of the party in power in their private homes or in public restaurants......this has now changed thanks to the stupidity of the Dims and their supporters.

"Those who sow the Wind, shall reap the Whirlwind". or if you prefer..."What goes around also comes around".

I have joked in the past that a new Civil War is coming.......I'm now very much afraid those words are not a joke. And it will be ugly and destructive to all Americans. Reaching this point is the end goal of both Russian and Chinese provocateurs not to mention the myriad Jihadists, Nihilists and Anarchists that exist worldwide.

I've lived seven decades and then some, and lately I'm not sure if I want to continue. It becomes more difficult daily to watch the rot destroying the tree of Liberty. I see the specter of the Weimar Republic stalking the streets of DC.

Another Pro-Rump Riot
At least one person was detained after a protest against President Donald Trump on the Santa Monica Pier turned chaotic when the demonstrators were assaulted by a pro-Trump crowd, authorities said.

The unidentified man can been seen in videos from the scene wearing a backwards Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat attacking the group indiscriminately spraying pepper spray or a similar substance on the anti-Trump protesters and other visitors on the Pier late Saturday, according to protest organizers and a video of the attack supplied to City News Service.

“The Trump people wearing their MAGA hats and waving flags were there to intimidate and incite a confrontation,” Winfrey said. “We told the dozens of anti-Trump protesters not to let them intimidate them. Our goal was to have a peaceful, non-violent protest.”

The demonstration degenerated into chaos on the tape when the pro-Trump people appeared to start pushing and shoving the anti-Trump people. Suddenly, a Trump supporter pulled out a canister of pepper spray and began attacking the demonstrators indiscriminately spraying the pepper spray into their faces and the faces of passersby on the boardwalk.

BTW: In 1992 'Bill' Clinton was only chosen by 43% and won the election. The majority, in 1992 and 2016, voted against a Clinton.


Bill Clinton won the popular vote 44,909,889 to Bush's 39,104,550, so this fails to make any point at all.

One of the logical fallacies on full display. (And a second losers technique, name calling.)
Majority of what? Persons inside the borders? Residents? Citizens? Registered Voters? Ballots cast? Electoral College?
No matter which you pick he will pick a different one so he can claim he is right.

In other words, a sociopath. Funny thing is that there is a very, very thin line between sociopathy & psychopathy.

Psychopathy
Superficial charm and glibness.
Inflated sense of self-worth.
Constant need for stimulation.
Lying pathologically.
Conning others; being manipulative.
Lack of remorse or guilt.
Shallow emotions.
Callousness; lack of empathy.

Sums up Trump perfectly.
