Breitbart Headline…“Poll: Revolt Brewing Across America Against Failed Congressional GOP Leadership”
If you don’t think President Trump is in the driver’s seat, read this story.
Then, you might get a better handle on how (and why) things are being done in DC.
Yeah…right…move along, nothing to see here…
Wow, these Trumps keep on swinging for the fences, don’t they?
Townhall headline: “Trump Jr. Wanted to Meet with Russian Lawyer to Obtain Info on Clinton’s ‘Fitness’ for Office”
Tell me that’s not a HUGE body-blow.
Turning the Left’s innuendo-fest against the Trump campaign team is always a praise-worthy feat, and Trump Jr’s statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he met with a Russian lawyer to determine the “fitness, character, or qualifications” of Hillary Clinton is right up there with the all-time great ‘back-at-ya’ moves against Democrats.
HUGE.
Another side benefit to the debt-ceiling deal President Trump just closed with Democrat leaders Pelosi and Schumer neuters their almost-daily rabid-dog anti-Trump rhetoric.
Post-deal…
…how can they square the fact they just sealed a deal with a lunatic Republican?
You just gotta love this guy…
Looking for all the political answers to why the President worked a deal with Democrats on a temporary debt ceiling situation is a complete waste of time…he’s not a politician.
He’s – first and foremost – a businessman, and uncertainty raises havoc with business.
Of course he cut a deal. Trump’s the epitome of ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid’.
The fact he did it with Democrats just gives him more leverage with Republicans, since 1) he’s displayed he’ll do what he has to do to get things done, 2) let’s face it, he also gave Republicans political cover, because many voters don’t like debt-ceiling hikes, and 3) the economy benefits with CERTAINTY as we voyage into a touchy holiday season.
Stop analyzing his moves through a purely political lens…he’s not a politician.
He’s something much more effective – a businessman with extreme political power.
Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Washington Times op-ed: “Morally, most of the beneficiaries of DACA are fully Americanized young adults who know no other life but what they have here and have no roots in the countries of their births. Many are serving the U.S. in the military. Constitutionally, DACA has effectively been in place since 1986, and 800,000 people younger than 40 have planned their lives in reliance upon it. Legally, once a benefit has been given by the government and relied upon, the courts are reluctant to rescind it, even though the 5th Circuit showed no such reluctance.
Economically, the summary removal of more than three-quarters of a million people from the work force would have serious negative consequences for their employers and dependents and for delicate economic forces, and there would be negative economic consequences to the government, as well, as each claimed hardship case — each person whose deportation is ordered — is entitled to a hearing at the government’s expense.”
BlueCollar opinion? Any anger or retribution for this situation should be leveled at the politicians and leaders who created this mess, not those who find themselves living it.
File this under ‘YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP.’
We know Liberal media provides an astonishing level of deference to the Democrats, but for the Washington Post to publish Eric Holder’s blatantly dishonest opinion of the decision President Trump made to rescind Obama’s unlawful Dream Act is a new low.
To see Eric Holder’s op-ed as being disingenuous toward Americans would be too generous…we think DISRESPECT toward Americans would better describe this drivel.
Setting aside Holder’s typical, predictable effort to re-define ‘prosecutorial discretion’, his op-ed is a teachable moment on how Liberals flat-out lie and expect us to take it.
Setting ‘enforcement priorities’ may be a point worth dancing around, but to admit that his boss Obama then allowed work permits – while implying this didn’t exceed the limits of Obama’s constitutional powers – is either breathtakingly obtuse on Holder’s part…
…or he thinks Americans are that breathtakingly obtuse and will believe him.
Call us cynical, but we’re sure the latter alternative is in play. Holder, Obama, and the Washington Post et al see the law…and Americans…as theirs to toy with.
“They are not and should not be defined by their immigration status”???
If that’s not an open-borders concept…nothing is. And, oh, by the way Mr. Holder…
…just a friendly reminder….
…your boss Obama had to ‘define’ them that way…to target them for his policy.
A previous BlueCollar post pointed out that Obama-&-Co, by defending their actions, could be construed as them openly accepting totalitarian acts by future presidents…
…we wonder if Mr. Holder would be so obsequious to a Trump act of this nature?
California’s Idiot-general…errr…attorney general: Trump rescinding DACA is ‘unlawful’ and ‘unconstitutional’, and threatens to sue the administration over that act.
(Of course, he didn’t explain ‘why’…because he can’t.)
Such is Democrat Ideology…writ large.
We’re not sure what’s worse…how scary it is to hear a state’s top lawman admit he’s constitutionally illiterate, or the frustration to know California tax-dollars will be wasted because the state’s top lawman is posturing for his future election aspirations.
(Let’s face it – California’s political demographic isn’t going to change anytime soon, so he’s not just posturing for near-term support or advantage…this is a long-game move.)
You get what you vote for…unless you’re in the political minority.
Tyranny of the Majority is alive and well in California.
REALLY?
Considering the out-of-control crime rate in Chicago…
…and the fact it’s mayor is Rahm Emanuel…not Donald Trump…
…we suggest Chicago would be better off as an ‘Emanuel-free’ zone.
We’re not sure how to unwrap this HUGE event. On the one hand, we would love to see President Trump throw a little totalitarianism at the Democrats and their Left-wing media masters…on the other hand, we honor a constitutional republican form of government.
When Obama went on a Facebook rant yesterday (backed up by sycophant journalists and major network media), decrying President Trump’s decision to rescind DACA and ask the Congress to do its job, he unwittingly sanctioned totalitarian rule in America…
…and the FakeNews media exposed itself as endorsing the same.
A president’s job is clearly defined by our Constitution, to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” NOWHERE in that document does it state he can make law. And those who claim (as Obama does) he was merely exercising ‘prosecutorial discretion’ deceitfully conflate that act with writing new immigration law, which is what he did.
This is not a hill the Democrats and the Left want to die on. Open that door, and they’ve made the case for President Trump to pen sweeping anti-abortion edicts, voter-id laws, nation-wide open carry gun laws, and even (let it be done!) term-limits in Congress.
‘Cuz, in the untouchable manner of the great Obama, he’d just be doing what Congress won’t, using a Democrat-version of prosecutorial discretion that seems to have become the FakeNews media’s imprimatur in these United States as we currently know it.
BlueCollar doesn’t endorse such acts, but DAMN, it would be fun to watch a squirming media mewl and whine when the hypocrisy of their position is turned full bore on them!
Much as the anti-Trumpers rage, this President has not acted outside the realm of the Executive Branch, and its role as defined by our U.S. Constitution…
…YET.
