Why does the political establishment hate Trump?

Original Article

The short answer to that question comes from George Orwell: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Packed into that pithy aphorism is the explanation of the bitter struggle centering on the person of President Donald J. Trump. The dirty little secret of American history is that a largely left-leaning establishment has dominated our politics since 1932 and thereby framed our understanding of the past and goals for the future. Only two Republican presidents have held temporary majorities in both houses of Congress since then: Dwight D. Eisenhower and George W. Bush. Neither made a dent in the establishment’s control.

The political establishment did not create PDT. They do not control PDT. PDT does not owe total allegiance to the political establishment.

He's in the way of their plans to destroy the country in order to usher in their NWO. Hate to burst their bubble but......nothing they try will work; watch for boomerangs galore.

He's not one of them. He can't be bought with a kickback check. He really doesn't care what they think. He knows the Deep State is real and dangerous and is not afraid to say so. With everything they have thrown at him he is out there. They don't scare him but they do p*ss him off. He has our back.

What we love about President Trump is that he's a fighter. He doesn't give up or give in when he knows he's right. We also love him because he loves our country and the Americans who live here (not the illegal aliens). We also love his sense of humor and generous nature. President Trump is an inspiration to all Americans to stand up for righteousness and not back down.

Because he operates outside of the agreed grifter system. He can neither be bought by special interests, nor blackmailed by the DOJ/intelligence services.

It is pretty simple. The ones fighting Trump are part of the swamp that they are very happy with. Trump will stop their corruption and prosecute the guilty. They can't have that and are scared to death.

He doesn't need their money, so cannot be bought. He doesn't give a rat's azz about the global international order set up to win the Cold War, which ended 33 years ago. There's too much weapons money and too many State and Defense Department careers tied up in perpetuating a global system America no longer has a use for.

I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing. I’d also ignore those doomsters who claim on the basis of the 2020 election that it will be stolen. Sure, as I note below, there has been and will be a lot of cheating, but the Republicans are getting better at monitoring it and reducing it. Sure, the press is lying again, but as I show below, the legacy media has blown its credibility and alternate content providers are capturing audiences away from them.

Woodward’s War: Deeply Damning, But
Not to Trump

Posted by DW626 10/31/2024 1:05:39 PM Post Reply
Bob Woodward, a past master at the art of marketing bestsellers by reflecting the Democrat zeitgeist, tries his best in his latest offering, War, to put a good face on Biden-Harris incompetence in the Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Israel conflicts. Although Donald Trump was not a government actor during these events, War inserts vignettes purporting, unsuccessfully, to contrast Trump’s unfitness with Biden’s putative steadiness. Woodward tries but fails to claim that it is Trump’s alleged instability that threatens our fragile world, and not the ineptitude of the senile, perpetually unintelligent Biden. But to his great credit, the dogged reporter in Woodward overcomes the mediocre polemicist.

Kama-lama-ding-dong’s got the blues. This was supposed to be her time. This was supposed to be her rise. She was supposed to make her-story. Instead, Kam-Kam’s on her way to an Election Night drubbing, a week-long bender, and a few months of solitude in celebrity rehab. She should take Hillary Clinton along, too. A period of detox and sobriety could do both some good. And the American people would benefit from their prolonged absence from television news. America will one day have a female president. She will be smart, articulate, prudent, and brave.

I’ve long found it peculiar that, way back in the 1990s, Tim Walz was taking the lead in promoting the new “Gay-Straight Alliance” club at the school where he worked. Usually, that’s something an openly gay teacher would do. However, when it’s an ostensibly straight teacher, my radar pings. But my pinging radar means nothing. What may also mean nothing is that two citizen journalists are alleging that they’ve found young men speaking anonymously about the fact that Walz groomed them while they were under his aegis in high school.

Pop quiz, hotshot: You just stole the Democrats’ presidential nomination from a dementia-addled nursing home patient without receiving a single vote from the electorate and while having the lowest approval rating of any modern veep. Despite the nonstop efforts of corporate news propagandists to anoint you as a deserving heir, Americans rightly see you as a fake, foolish, insecure, insignificant, boozy, Canadian flop who has no business being behind the wheel of an automobile, let alone taking charge of a nuclear arsenal as commander-in-chief.

In the lead-up to and during Barack Obama’s presidency, we were relentlessly told that Barack Obama was a racial healer and a man of unusual, almost James Bondian suave sophistication. Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person. Both traits appeared during campaign appearances he made yesterday on Kamala’s behalf, where he made a vulgar crack about Donald Trump and shamed young black men for voting for their interests rather than their skin color.

In the movie Eight Men Out, the story of the White Sox who threw the Series, we remember a scene where the manager Kid Gleason goes to the mound to pull the pitcher, Lefty Williams. He looks at the pitcher and said something like "Not your day, Lefty." My guess is that people who watched CBS last night came to a similar conclusion: "Not your day, Kam." It's hard to believe that any voter can vote for this lady, unless your hatred of Trump is all-consuming or unconditional abortion is the only thing that matters to you.

After impregnating his children's nanny, and getting accused of slapping a girlfriend so hard she "spun around," Kamala Harris's hubby, Doug Emhoff, has now been accused of being his company's office 'a******," a foul-mouthed bully who treated the women he worked with like dirt. So much for that mild-mannered milquetoast persona he presents to MSNBC. According to the Daily Mail: Kamala Harris's husband was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work, his former colleagues tell DailyMail.com. Attorneys who worked with Doug Emhoff at his former firm Venable say he yelled expletives, held a men-only cocktail hour in the office, revoked work perks from women who didn't flirt with him

Kamala is a good-for-nothing on at least three levels. First: she is literally “good for nothing.” Her career is littered with failures. Even a distinguished black journalist dared to observe, at great professional peril, her “failing up” the career ladder. Craig J. DeLuz, writing for the Washington Times, bravely concedes that, “An elected official with a track record of failure spanning her entire political career, Harris has consistently been rewarded with promotions by left-leaning voters.” Among her many inadequacies, Mr. DeLuz notes that Kamala was the most left-leaning member of the Senate, all the while achieving the following – nothing.

A PAC supporting Kamala Harris runs an ad that features Harris making the following impassioned statement, “We are helping dig families out of debt by telling billionaires to pay their fair share!” The commercial presents this exclamation as Harris’ “reason for running” for office, but does not explain what it means. Some of the audience tries to guess what this statement means while Harris’ supporters do not care and will vote for her regardless of what she says. Those who care to understand must speculate for an explanation. To whom will “billionaires” pay this undefined “fair share?” We can guess that she is talking about paying taxes.

With the election just days away, people on both sides are on edge but things are looking very good for Trump. This is causing widespread panic in Hollywood, one of the most reliably liberal parts of the country. Liberal celebrities have shown over and over again that they will vote Democrat no matter what is happening in the rest of the nation. Wealthy celebs seem even more out of touch as they do not feel the economic pain that has burdened people everywhere else for over three years now. If Hollywood is panicked, that is not a good sign for Harris.

The edited transcript makes it appear that Biden was only insulting comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who has faced fallout for a joke about Puerto Rico being covered in garbage during Trump’s Madison Square Garden event.

What do you think is driving this surge in early voting this time?” Abrams said, “Well, while we are excited about who’s showing up we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity. A lot of those voters in 2020 were able to vote by mail.
