What I Learned at the 'Stop Trump Summit'

 

 

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.). (The guy who led the second impeachment of former president Donald Trump.) George Conway. (Anti-Trump tweeter and ex-husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.) Miles Taylor. (Remember that low-level Trump aide and future cable news star who published the "anonymous" op-ed in the New York Times that everyone assumed was written by some senior cabinet official? That guy.) Tony Schwartz. (Trump's ghostwriter for The Art of the Deal.)

Don Lemon. (The hack journalist fired from CNN for being a misogynistic #######.) Al Franken. (Effectively fired from the U.S. Senate for similar reasons.) Robert De Niro. (Just trying to pay the bills.) Michael Cohen. (The unhinged former Trump fixer and former inmate who pursued a new career as an anti-Trump celebrity around the same time he became the target of a federal criminal investigation.) Michael Avenatti couldn't make it because he's still in prison.

Who is their alternative?  Some Neocon establishment far right type?  Mike Pence who was duped by the FBI, and is a religious nut?  I could see DeSantis, but I expect a lot of these "Dump Trump" types would hate him as well.  Also, there is no GOP candidate for President that will get a fair shake by the MSM regardless of how moderate they are as the MSM needs to prop up the joke of a candidate the Democrats nominate (did you see Scott Pelley interview himself with Old Corrupt Petulant Joe Biden sitting nearby).  

 

What amazes me is the inside the beltway Republicans, who really just want to be the Washington Generals of leadership, saw Donald Trump bring in a lot of working class types, and minorities to the GOP, and yet they want to go back to be the "also rans" of DC.  It seems the GOP has become the Big Top Party with a lot of differing opinions unlike the racist Democrats that are in lock step in their progressive movement (yes this is how it is spelled) toward totalitarianism, but the GOP leadership does not like it. 

 

Regardless, I know, Slow Steady and Corrupt is good as the world blows up as Biden fiddles.

If they can actually curtail federal spending maybe it will be worth it, but I doubt it.

Maryanne Trump Barry, the eldest sister of former President Trump, dies at 86

 

Hear Trump's sister criticize her brother in secretly recorded audio
 

 

Barry was one of the former president’s closest confidants throughout his life, and one of the few people whose counsel he sought, though a rift in the relationship happened during his last year in office when his niece released recordings of Barry speaking critically of her brother. Trump was deeply hurt by the comments, a source directly familiar with the comments told CNN at the time.

“Donald’s out for Donald,” Barry said to her niece, an outspoken critic of Trump’s presidency and the author of a bombshell book about him: “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

“His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” Barry said on the recording. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying.”

At one point in the recording, she called her younger brother “cruel.”

“He has no principles,” Barry said. “None.”

So essentially Barry was saying Trump was getting corrupted by the DC culture.  I think we hear that all the time.  How many idealistic politicians are utterly corrupted by DC?

I think it has more to do with a serious case of TDS.  All politicians, appointees, and bureaucrats lie.  That you accept some and not others is on you.
