That's how Democrats address political issues...

Trump being an alpha male in private conversations???

Once again, we see two different standards. One for those with a -D after their names, one for those with a -R after their names..

My gods, you people REALLY can't see how utterly bigoted ya'all are???

Next up: pay for every little thing on the internet if you want to see anything. In the future 'free' will mean either slow and content-free, or temporary and abusively commercialized.

Oh waaa waaa waaa..

Odumbo era overreach got bitch-slapped down and now ya'all are back to fear mongering...

Cry me a river...

Yea???

FACTS to support??

No?? Of course not...

What IS it with your Democrats????

It is far worse than that...It will mean the further isolation of our society into various tribes except that it will no longer be the tribes of the right and the left with some nationalists thrown in to boot. It will be the tribes of Comcast or ATT especially given the fact that the ISP's also own large media companies and news outlets.

Next up: pay for every little thing on the internet if you want to see anything. In the future 'free' will mean either slow and content-free, or temporary and abusively commercialized.

Folks blow off steam in private conversations. The question should be: did they do their jobs professionally? By all accounts, the answer to that question is yes.

It bears noting again: the closer that Mueller gets to Trump, the louder and more hysterical the voices against him become. There might be a connection there.

FBI agents are lawyers first and foremost..

410

Mueller is a NeverTrumper who was put in place by a NeverTrumper...

I notice that you ignore ALL of the *FACTS* that shows Mueller's team's anti-Trump bias...

Let Mueller do his job and be patient.

Could you??

Could you "be patient" and shut up about your hysterical Trump accusations??

Of course you can't..

And as long as ya'all can't, I won't...

It's that simple...

Super, Congress is going to go on a troll through the FBI conducting Republican purity tests. That should help their cause with the FBI.

Isn't it funny that Michale is suddenly all for investigations into law enforcement officers when they might not adhere to his view of how right wing an FBI agent should be, but complains about every investigation into a shooting?

This nonsense might be slightly believable if Mueller wasn't a Republican who was put in place by a Republican DoJ whose leaders were hand picked by a Republican President and there was no pressure from a Republican Senate or a Republican House.

Let Mueller do his job and be patient. If there is nothing there then you've got nothing to worry about. And stop talking about Russia every single thread then complaining that people are talking about Russia all the time.

if it looks like a witch and it quacks like a witch...

If she weighs the same as a duck... she's made of wood!
And therefore...
A witch!
~monty python and the holy grail

The man who should be most disturbed by all this is Mr. Mueller, who wants his evidence and conclusions to be credible with the public. Evidence is building instead that some officials at the FBI—who have worked for him—may have interfered in an American presidential election. Congress needs to insist on its rights as a co-equal branch of government to discover the truth.

Face the facts, people..

Mueller's probe is nothing but a witch hunt totally devoted to one thing and one thing only..

Nullifying a free, fair and legal election...

That's the conclusion that NO ONE here has even bother denying, let alone has been able to refute...

408

Touche...

heh... Now THAT was funny.. :D

What IS it about Democrats???

That's not a brain tumor.. I am just happy ta see ya... :D

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Which part do you dispute?? They raping of women or the killing of women???

What's my count???

I mean, honestly..

How long did BETTER JOBS, BETTER DEAL, BETTER PIZZA last???

About as long as it took Democrats to swivel hysterically to identity politics over trans in the military.. About a day...

Democrats have NOTHING in the cupboard except identity politics and attacking Trump supporters...

And ya'all HONESTLY think that THAT is going to be enough to win the House and Senate in 2018???

Well, I have to congratulate CW for one momentous achievement.. He has finally invented Time Travel..

We have been whisked back in time to Sep/Oct of 2016 and ya'all are, once again, totally, hysterically convinced that the next election will be TOTALLY dominated by Demcorats!!

Congrats, CW.. Time Travel! Who would have thunked it.. :D

ted kennedy? are you sure you don't also have a brain tumor?

Well, except for Montana, Georgia and South Carolina...

This is EXACTLY why ya'all's hysterical rants against President Trump are so... well.. hysterical..

They have NOTHING to do with facts and reality and EVERYTHING to do with hysterical PTDS...

And the fact that he raped and killed women means nothing, right??

This is EXACTLY why it's impossible to take ya'all seriously...

Ya'all totally IGNORE the facts and reality in favor of whatever is best for the Party... Even if the facts and reality are rape and manslaughter...

Party Uber Alles

Oh, come on now, CW..

Democrats have been "eyeing" a Senate takeover since they lost it in 2014...

Just because of this one outlier election, they now think they have a shot..

But let me ask you this and answer honestly..

Have Democrats learned ANYTHING from 2014 and 2016?? Have they changed their ways???

Have they done **ANYTHING** that would bring back the voters they lost??

Nope.. The **ONLY** thing Dumbocrats have done is double down on failed policies and attacking the VERY voters they need to bring to their side..

The very definition of insanity...

"... when the voters saw its awful philosophies exposed by comparison to real virtue."

Closer to what I was actually thinking.

Maybe, or maybe that coincidence itself is a reminder that politics is cyclical. The old season fades as the new emerges.

McCain might be called the father of the Tea Party, as his choice of Sarah Palin was considered by some to be the spark that lit the populist fire that culminated in Trump. To be sure, the election of Obama and events that followed fanned the flames, and Romney's defeat sharpened the dissatisfaction with all sides that fueled it.

But it is also fitting that in what may be one of his greatest political acts, a simple 'no', McCain was able to save Obamacare and deliver the populists, Trump and the Republican establishment its biggest legislative defeat of the year.

Ted Kennedy was considered to be the spiritual 'father' of Obamacare, and though he died of a brain tumor before was passed into law, his support for it helped get it over the finish line.

Which gets us back to the 'coincidence' that Scott Brown, the Tea Party's first Senate candidate, was Kennedy's successor, and hence, the parallel to Doug Jones. Brown's election heralded a historic populist "tea party" wave that hit the Democrats like a tsunami the following November.

Jones' victory is today credited with exposing the weakness of the Trump coalition, caused, in part, by Trump's inability to govern effectively, which was exposed elegantly by McCain's defiance.

So you could say that McCain helped to bring the Trump movement into the world, and his refusal to advance their unreasonable agenda might be the act that hastens its end. He might be seen some day as the Halley's comet of a brief period of populist nationalist uprising that ended (as they sometimes do), when the voters saw its awful philosophies embodied in the flesh.

But it's probably all just a coincidence.

I know why you wrote that ... clarification.

I don't have a link to the View ... not sure where you would find the actual show on TV -I just saw the heartbreaking clip on a news report - you should google Meagan McCain and Joe Biden and try to keep a dry eye.

Btw, I am distressingly without access to email for the next little while and I'm wondering if I should be using the same snail mail address as usual for the Holiday Pledge drive ...

I wrote that clarification because I still feel kinda bad for urging Teddy Kennedy to resign his seat (effective months in the future) mere days before he actually died... of a brain tumor:

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2009/08/20/the-superannuation-of-senator-ted-kennedy/

Kennedy died August 25. His seat, interestingly enough, was taken by Scott Brown, the closest parallel to what just happened in Alabama. But that's just a coincidence.

I still do feel bad for how crass the column looked in retrospective. So I had to clarify the situation with McCain. Of all the columns I have ever written (approaching 3,000 of them now), this is the one I would say had the worst timing of them all, and the one I remember for worst timing ever.

Just to let everyone know where I'm coming from...

Nope, the only daytime TV I ever bother with is CBS in the morning, and that's only like one or two days a week (and under protest...).

:-)

-CW

I disagree on some points with him about what will make America stronger in the long run, and from a purely political point of view, if he was voted out of office and replaced by a Democrat, I think this would be a good thing right now for the country.

However I assume we wish this honorable man the best of health.

Did you see the View today, Chris?

When I wrote and posted this, I had not yet heard the news that John McCain had been hospitalized today. I probably would have mentioned the AZ situation even if I had known, but I probably also would have been a bit more compassionate in my phrasing.

The timing was purely coincidental, and I meant no disresepct to Senator McCain for bringing it up today. Just so we're perfectly clear.
