NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd says “a national nightmare is upon us” after President Trump openly solicited foreign interference in an American election.
With Clinton & Romney both rumored to be JOINING 2020 race, has politics gone the way of Hollywood?
Two-time losers Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney are rumored to be mulling presidential runs in 2020, despite repeated and resounding rejections from the voting public. Why won’t they go away, and is this a sign of a deeper crisis?
It’s not just Clinton and Romney. Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden himself is a two-time loser convinced that third time’s the charm. Even Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders, whose policy ideas are relatively new, even if he isn’t, has been in politics most of his life. DC has become the east coast version of Hollywood, churning through remake after remake as audiences and interest dwindle, fueled by a zombie economy of donors utterly disconnected from the real world.
Clinton has been ubiquitous on TV for the past few weeks, making the rounds ostensibly to promote a book she co-wrote with her daughter. Yet every single conversation inevitably swings back to 2016, how she was robbed of her rightful place in the Oval Office, and how President Donald Trump is an “illegitimate” leader who “knows” he stole the election.
When Trump opted to pull troops out of northern Syria on Monday, finally fulfilling a campaign promise he’d made in part to counter her warmongering, Clinton was quick to slam the decision as a “sickening betrayal.”
Her tweet – which seemingly wouldn’t hold much significance now that she’s (supposedly) retired from politics – nevertheless rated entire articles in the Hill and other publications.
Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon claimed last week that Clinton is definitely running – she’s merely looking for an opening.
Her impeachment cheerleading could be motivated by the possibility that when the Ukrainegate cards are laid out on the table, frontrunner Biden could easily go down in flames, leaving the field wide open for her to step in – especially now that her 2016 rival, Sanders, has been laid low with a heart attack.
Biden speaks for the Democratic establishment when he promises “nothing would fundamentally change” if he won. His constant name-dropping of Obama – when he can remember his former boss’ name that is – is a naked appeal to amnesiac nostalgia, the Democratic Party platform’s declaration that everything bad in the country has happened because of Trump.
This is not merely a Democratic Party problem, however. Mitt Romney, the Utah Senator who failed to secure his party’s nomination for president in 2008 and failed to beat Barack Obama in 2012, has been complaining to anyone who will listen that Trump’s actions on Ukraine are “wrong and appalling.”
He too leapt onto Twitter following Trump’s announcement of the Syria pullout, calling “the president’s decision to abandon our Kurd allies in the face of an assault by Turkey…a betrayal.” And he too suddenly rates entire articles based on a single tweet.
Romney is testing the waters for a 2020 run, calling his donors to see who’ll bite, according to the self-described “Republican political operative” Jack Posobiec. Trump Communications Director turned sophomoric insult machine Anthony Scaramucci has already started cheering Romney on, while never-Trump neocon William Kristol’s new outlet The Bulwark posted a fawning paean to the former Massachusetts governor on Monday, just two days after Kristol himself tweeted a poll that showed Trump nearly twice as “respected” as Romney. Perhaps hoping to change those numbers, the warmonger’s journal gushed that Romney has “stepped up at the decisive moments” and “seems focused on the verdict of history.”
American politics has seemingly fallen prey to the same sickness that plagues Hollywood, where nearly every film seems to be a remake or spinoff of something that came before. Producers argue audiences embrace the familiar; a recent survey found that isn’t the case – that 91 percent of remakes experience steep drop-offs in approval compared to the originals. Movie theater attendance dropped to a 19-year low in 2017. Audiences are sick of being fed pre-chewed entertainment and “woke” takes on beloved classics.
And it’s no different in politics – 42 percent of Americans identified as independents in 2017, suggesting that nearly half the country is utterly disgusted with a two-party system that doesn’t even pretend to represent them, instead pandering to an idealized “middle class” their policies have helped kill. Nevertheless, hoary old has-beens are the only candidates with enough money to make it onto the ballot. As a result, voter turnout plunged to a 20-year low in 2016, with just 55 percent of voting-age citizens casting ballots.
Neither party has learned its lesson from 2016, which saw a dynamic – if, to some, off-putting – character sweep through first the primaries and then the general election by positioning himself as the opposite of the “swamp creatures” that have made a career out of looking busy while ensuring the status quo doesn’t move. Anyone with a flicker of originality is sidelined (Tulsi Gabbard) or mocked (Marianne Williamson). Perhaps both parties really do want four more years of Trump – it gives them an excuse to sit on the sidelines and complain without having to do any governing.

Warning to Deep State Dems and Coastal Elites: Good Americans Will Not Allow Their Innocent President to Be Impeached by Corrupt Politicians over Nothing!
October 7, 2019
Americans are beyond angry with the actions the Democrats, elites, the Deep State and their media.
President Donald Trump is a great man and the greatest President of this generation.
His list of accomplishments is unending and proves his devotion to the country.
*The highest stock markets ever – up nearly 50% since his election win
*The most stock market all time daily highs in a year (71)
*The most stock market all time daily highs in a row (12) – tying Reagan
*The largest stock market rally in a day – over 1,000 points
*The lowest overall unemployment in 50 years currently at 3.5%
*The lowest unemployment ever for women, Hispanics and blacks
*The most Americans working in history
*More job openings that employees
*Massive wage increases, especially in the lowest income workers
*Medium level income at highest levels ever recorded
*Over 6 million new jobs since 2017 (good paying jobs too)
*American energy independence for first time in decades
*American energy exporter first time in decades
*Out of Obamacare mandate which forced Americans to pay tax penalty for not affording insurance
*Millions of Americans off of food stamps
*Strongest military ever
*Started Space Force – preparing America for space age defense
*Destroyed evil ISIS in Syria/Iraq after Obama said they would be there for a generation
*Got US out of horrible Obama trade deal with China and Asian countries giving away US jobs
*Drafted new trade deal with Canada and Mexico (USMCA) which will save US jobs
*Drafted new trade deal with Japan
*Drafted new trade deal with Korea
*Standing up to China in trade and intellectual property theft
*Signed lowest corporate tax rates in decades helping US companies and workers
*First President to step inside North Korea
*First President to meet with North Korea leader in effort to achieve peace
*Standing up for America in NATO requesting EU countries to pay fair share
*Record number of regulations eliminated
*Two new Supreme Court judges
*More than 100 new District judges
*Withdrew from horrible Paris accords
*Withdrew from horrible Iran deal
The WhiteHouse.gov lists many,many more.
In addition to all of this, the President was forced to follow the most corrupt administration in US history.
As a result of the Obama Administration:
*The FBI is no longer trusted let alone respected due to its leaders actions related to Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, and others in passing on Hillary crimes while attacking candidate and President Trump
*Corrupt Obama judges like Amy Berman Jackson who put 70 year old Paul Manafort in solitary are still in place
*The DOJ is full of corrupt lawyers who were involved in Obama Administration coverups and illegal and sinister Deep State actions to spy on candidate and President Trump in efforts to prevent him from winning the election and then attempting to remove him from his Presidency
*The media is corrupt. Mainstream outlets like the New York Times, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc, etc… are all in the tank with Obama Democrats. They praised him like a god during his realm and now follow his lead in slandering President Trump and ignoring his many accomplishments
*NeverTrumpers and other elites on the right side of the isle (e.g. Mitt Romney, etc..) have shown their real colors and lack of integrity due to their hate for President Trump. They would have preferred Hillary.
*Numerous acts of bribery and extortion were present in Obama’s world and this bled down to into the government as a whole. It appeared that all of DC was corrupt.
Ultimately, President Trump’s greatest accomplishment is that he beat Corrupt Hillary in the 2016 election. He arguably is the only one who could have beaten her. The Clinton’s had a machine and no one dared stand up to her but candidate Trump. Trump pointed out her many corrupt acts and won the greatest election of our lifetime.
The corrupt actors from the DNC, Deep State and media are not happy with President Trump. They have done all they can to remove him. Candidate Trump overcame their illegal acts during the election and then the corrupt Mueller investigation, where the President was investigated for no crime for more than three years when you include time before the election.
The Mueller investigation was not an investigation but an obstruction trap. They did everything they could to get the President to do something they could claim was obstruction but he did not fold. They brought his son in for hours of testimony, his daughter and her husband, they set up his son in Trump Tower, they invaded his personal attorney’s office, storage locker and home. They stole documents from his transition team. They set up and arrested his NSA General Mike Flynn who still is involved in the courts today. Everyone he knew or touched was investigated, against the law using the Special Counsel Act, but President Trump stood firm.
The President was berated by the far left media every day. They called him a traitor and fraudulent President. They claimed he worked with Russians to win the election which never made sense because he was later attacked with dirt supposedly coming from Russia.
President Trump thrived in all of this like no US President since Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. Lincoln survived the war started by Democrats who wanted to keep their slaves only to be assassinated a couple weeks after the Civil War’s end. The Democrats still want Americans to be their slaves! They seek ultimate power. This is why America voted for Trump!
Now the Deep State wants to remove President Trump from office in another bogus attempt to manipulate the law to their liking. This is not how the law is supposed to be used in this country. Obama destroyed the proper use of the law.
Democrats, their media and their Deep State want to rake the President through more shame and lies and then impeach him based on lies and no crimes. They do this to prevent their crimes during the Obama years from being outed and them held accountable. They have to make something up to take down Trump. Their lies rank them with former totalitarian regimes and banana republics.
Impeachments are to be only used in rare circumstances. Again, there is no crime. The Democrats won’t vote on an impeachment exercise so the President can fight back against them in the courts. They don’t want Americans to see that this is a one-sided exercise. A vote would show this. They want to act quickly and vote on impeachment so they can use this against President Trump and punish him and those who voted for him!
WE WON’T LET THEM!
CHUCK TODD FLIPS OUT ON GOP SENATOR: ‘DO YOU NOT TRUST THE FBI? YOU DON’T TRUST THE CIA?’
There was a full on Trump-Ukraine blow-up on Sunday’s Meet the Press, with Chuck Todd quick to slam what he called “Fox News Conspiracy Propaganda Stuff!”
OCTOBER 7, 2019
How could anyone not trust the CIA after the “Iraq has WMDs” hoax and the FBI after the Russiagate hoax?!
The questionable actions of former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former CIA director John Brennan have made it impossible for Americans to trust the country’s intelligence apparatuses and created a sense of extreme skepticism, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said during an interview that aired Sunday.
Johnson appeared on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” and got into a heated debate with host Chuck Todd over House Democrats’ impeachment efforts and various intelligence community abuses. The GOP senator said there still were unanswered questions when asked if he thought Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
“They absolutely did,” Johnson replied. “I don’t know to what extent the Ukrainians did. I don’t know to what extent the DNC [Democratic National Committee] and the Hillary Clinton campaign were involved in… juicing up the Ukrainian involvement, as well. There are a lot of unanswered questions… Chuck, I just want the truth. The American people want the truth.”
“Do you not trust the FBI — you don’t trust the CIA?” Todd shot back.
“No, no, I don’t,” Johnson stated. “Absolutely not. After [former FBI Agent] Peter Strzok and [attorney] Lisa Page? After James Comey, John Brennan, no, I don’t trust any of these guys in the Obama administration.”
That’s being reported as a “gotcha.”
Mr. News Man got Johnson to admit he doesn’t trust the CIA and FBI, so now the CIA and FBI can take revenge on him the same as they took revenge on Trump for slighting them.
Trump weighed in on the interview on Twitter:
Todd’s interview with Brennan was actually even more embarrassing:
Mitt Romney: Trump Suggesting China, Ukraine Investigate Biden Is ‘Appalling’
By Joshua Caplan
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) declared Friday that President Donald Trump’s suggestion that China and Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden’s dealings with the two countries is “wrong and appalling.”
“When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” Romney wrote on Twitter. “By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.”
The Never Trump lawmaker’s comments come after President Trump said Thursday that China should investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, for alleged corruption.
“China should start an investigation into the Bidens because what happened in China is just about as bad as Ukraine,” the president told reporters outside the White House ahead of a visit to Florida to deliver remarks on health care.
As Breitbart News extensively reported, Hunter Biden’s investment firm secured a $1.5 billion investment deal with the Bank of China after traveling with his father on Air Force Two to the country in 2013.
Further, President Trump re-upped his call for Ukraine to look into the Biden family’s dealings in the eastern European country.
He repeated his call for Ukraine to investigate the Bidens when reporters asked him again what he thought Ukranian officials should do with Biden, saying, “I would think that if they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation” into the former second family.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this year:
Biden forced out former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin as he was investigating an energy company called Burisma Holdings, which was paying Biden handsomely as a member of its board. The former vice president even boasted to the Council of Foreign Relations last year that he had threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless the prosecutor was fired. (He did not tell the audience about his son’s role.)
“Nobody has any doubt that they weren’t crooked; that was a crooked deal 100 percent,” said the president.
CNN Refuses to Air New Trump Campaign Ad Exposing Joe Biden’s Corruption
CNN won’t allow evidence exposing the official narrative to be seen by its viewers.
By
CNN is refusing to air a new Trump campaign ad documenting the corruption of Joe Biden surrounding his son’s personally lucrative involvement with a Ukrainian gas company.
The ad, titled, ‘Biden Corruption,’ exposes Biden’s self-serving and personally conflicting effort to get Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating his son Hunter’s involvement with a company called Burisma. Hunter Biden was paid millions of dollars by the foreign oligarch-owned gas company without any prior experience in the natural gas industry.
Biden has admitted in his own words that he forced the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son at the time.
The Trump campaign sought to air the ad on CNN, hoping to insert a glimmer of nuance into the programming of a network constantly weighed down by fake news controversies and inaccurate reporting. CNN confirmed their utter lack of neutrality in officially declining to air the ad. A spokesperson for the fake news network confirmed CNN’s rationale in a statement to the Daily Beast.
“CNN is rejecting the ad, as it does not meet our advertising standards. Specifically, in addition to disparaging CNN and its journalists, the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets, including CNN.”
Irony appears to be lost on the corporate news network, that claims to represent the pinnacle in journalistic integrity while blatantly instituting partisan rules that block the Trump campaign from running ads on-air. CNN regularly allows advertising content from progressive Democrats and establishment Republicans.
As the latest round of Democratic hyperventilation over Trump’s supposed Ukraine “scandal” dies with the absence of any realistic prospects of impeachment, CNN is prepared to carry water for liberals in the next inevitable media-manufactured controversy.

Finally, a bold, unabashed admission from a Deep Stater that there IS a Deep State.
Rogue, entitled elites defying the peoples government.
The GOP has to stop running. They need to stand their ground. This way out of hand.
