The title of the column, \u201cAmerica is not yet lost\u201d is descriptive of just how ivory tower elitists such as Kruggles think. In their minds, America is evil and needs to be punished and placed under the yoke of the ever so wonderful United Nations and the European Union. Making America Great Again is exactly not what will \u201cSave\u201d America. Here is some of what this jerk wrote<\/b>:<\/p>\n
Many of us came into 2017 expecting the worst. And in many ways, the worst is what we got.<\/b><\/p>\n
Here it comes, ready or not. Prepare for the full on blathering of a Progressive Liberal Moonbat.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump has been every bit as horrible as one might have expected; he continues, day after day, to prove himself utterly unfit for office, morally and intellectually. And the Republican Party \u2014 including so-called moderates \u2014 turns out, if anything, to be even worse than one might have expected. At this point it\u2019s evidently composed entirely of cynical apparatchiks, willing to sell out every principle \u2014 and every shred of their own dignity \u2014 as long as their donors get big tax cuts. <\/b><\/p>\n Did you know that Kruggles won the Nobel Prize for Economics? I can see why most people consider the Nobel Prize a joke these days. If Kruggles had been paying any attention, then he would know that it isn\u2019t his rich friends that are getting tax cuts, it\u2019s, wait for it, the middle class and business. But then, Kruggles is pretty stupid.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, conservative media have given up even the pretense of doing real reporting, and become blatant organs of ruling-party propaganda. <\/b><\/p>\n Actually, he might be correct. The media is nothing more then a propaganda organ. However, it\u2019s for the Progressive Democrats, not President Trump.<\/p>\n Yet I\u2019m ending this year with a feeling of hope, because tens of millions of Americans have risen to the occasion. The U.S. may yet become another Turkey or Hungary \u2014 a state that preserves the forms of democracy but has become an authoritarian regime in practice. But it won\u2019t happen as easily or as quickly as many of us had feared. <\/b><\/p>\n I think Kruggles is talking about the Antifa thugs. I think he may have missed the memo that his boss, George Soros is pulling back on his investment in them. It seems that when push came to shove, when Antifa\u2019s intended targets started fighting back and bringing guns, the paid protesters decided that being a live coward was better then being a beaten to a pulp paid thug.<\/p>\n Early this year the commentator David Frum warned that the slide into authoritarianism would be unstoppable<\/a> \u201cif people retreat into private life, if critics grow quieter, if cynicism becomes endemic.\u201d But so far that hasn\u2019t happened. <\/b><\/p>\n Kruggles is doing what is known as \u201cProjection.\u201d President Trump has not been doing anything remotely authoritarian. What he has been doing is actually enforcing the laws as written and forcing Congress to actually do it\u2019s job. The true authoritarians were people like Barack Obama and Felonia von Pantsuit. Their contempt for the rule of law, the constitution and, in Felonia\u2019s case, plans to suppress any dissent are well known to anyone who actually…reads.<\/p>\n What we\u2019ve seen instead is the emergence of a highly energized resistance. That resistance made itself visible literally the day after Trump took office, with the huge women\u2019s marches that took place on Jan. 21, dwarfing the thin crowds at the inauguration. If American democracy survives this terrible episode, I vote that we make pink pussy hats the symbol of our delivery from evil. <\/b><\/p>\n Kruggles wrote this drivel when his idea of a great and noble member of Congress was busily trying to figure out how to keep his ass in his senate seat. I guess he missed the news on all the wonderful Democrats who molest women thinking that it\u2019s their due.<\/p>\n The resistance continued with the town hall crowds that confronted Republican legislators as they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And in case anyone wondered whether the vocal anti-Trump crowds and Trump\u2019s hugely negative polling would translate into political action, a string of special elections \u2014 capped by a giant Democratic wave in Virginia and a stunning upset in Alabama \u2014 has put such doubts to rest.<\/b><\/p>\n How many ways does he get this wrong? First, and granted, this happened after Kruggles published this, the new tax plan killed the Obamacare mandate which will pretty much kill Obamacare. Second, all those special elections? The only one that the Democrats won was Alabama, and the democrat won\u2019t be keeping that seat for long. The only reason he won was Mitch McCockless shafting Roy Moore.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s be clear: America as we know it is still in mortal danger. Republicans still control all the levers of federal power, and never in the course of our nation\u2019s history have we been ruled by people less trustworthy. <\/b><\/p>\n Unless their Democrats that is.<\/p>\n This obviously goes for Trump himself, who is clearly a dictator wannabe, with no respect whatsoever for democratic norms. <\/b><\/p>\n By Democratic norms, you mean those of the Obama regime? Where he outright ignored the congress, the courts and the constitution with his \u201cPen and Phone?\u201d Or Democrat judges who ignore the plain writing of the Constitution and legislate from the bench? You mean those norms?<\/p>\n But it also goes for Republicans in Congress, who have demonstrated again and again that they will do nothing to limit his actions. They have backed him up as he uses his office to enrich himself and his cronies, as he foments racial hatred, as he attempts a slow-motion purge of the Justice Department and the F.B.I. <\/b><\/p>\n Yes, purging the FBI of all those ever so wonderful thugs like Peter Strzok, who helped whitewash the criminal investigation into Felonia von Pantsuit\u2019s activities. Or the agents who used that fake dossier, paid for by Felonia von Pantsuit, to get FISA warrants to spy on Donald Trump and his campaign and transition teams?<\/p>\n In fact, there has been a strange dynamic over the past few months: The worse things look for Trump, the more closely Republicans tie themselves to him. One might have expected recent electoral defeats to give G.O.P. moderates a bit more backbone. Instead, senators like John McCain and Susan Collins, who won widespread praise for standing up against Obamacare repeal during the summer, went along meekly with a monstrously awful tax bill. <\/b><\/p>\n Here we see Kruggles ideas of what a good Republican is. In his mind, a good Republican someone who believes in a strong an all powerful central, and that the people are to stupid to know what\u2019s good for them. The collapse of the GOP\u2019s plans to repeal Obamacare can be laid down to a very simple thing. They lied outright to their constituents. They never had any plans to repeal Obamacare and were shocked when they were expected to actually do it.<\/p>\n As for John McSlime? He hates Trump with a passion and holds his constituents in utter contempt. He flat out lied to win his primary, and once safely back in the Senate, showed to the people of Arizona that they can just shut the hell up and do as their told by him. His buddy, Senator Jeff Flake was right their with him. Unfortunately for him, his constituents basically told him he was done as their senator. His poll number flat out crashed, and he\u2019s announced he won\u2019t be seeking reelection. McSlime? The sooner that brain tumor kills him, the better.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
