Funny how we abruptly abandoned bases and equipment to the enemy and you supported it unlike all the bellyaching you do about Afghanistan.
So when BHOs DoJ threw that poor movie maker in jail blaming him on the Benghazi debacle that was not CYA by finding a patsy to blame your own ineptitude on? So yes it is okay to throw your enemy in jail. In this instance, that poor old sod became the enemy and he faced the venom of a political cabal looking for someone to lay the blame on for their failure.Seacoaster(1) wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 7:42 pmJust silliness, partisan nonsense.

Trump Revenge?
As Joe Biden’s polls plunge, his public bewilderment becomes chronic, and his exposed corruption can no longer be defended, pundits are writing furiously about the specter of “Trump revenge”. What is that, and why is it coming up now?
The Republican primary polls alarm them, but the general election polls favoring Trump over Biden utterly terrify them.
They privately concede that the crude-sounding Trump nevertheless did not weaponize the FBI, CIA, or DOJ.
The Trump-hating Pentagon, retired generals, CIA and FBI directors, the Washington FBI hierarchy—all of them knew that the fiery and bombastic Trump nevertheless did not hound out his enemies and turn these agencies and institutions into West Wing political operatives, in the way that Biden has destroyed the reputations of the DOJ and FBI.
So why the new mantra of “Trump revenge”?
Most likely, the Left is afraid because they know that if they were Trump and had suffered such weaponized lawfare from their opponents and in-house apostates, and yet had finally regained power, then they would most certainly go after their enemies with mass firings, weaponized indictments, and fake news stories.
In other words, they are scared that Trump thinks and acts like they do, and thus would do what they most certainly would do if in his place.
But for all of Trump’s loud banter, invective, and over-the-top tweets, he never sicced the bureaucracies on his political and personal enemies, and in that regard was never quite like the Left.·https://twitter.com/VDHanson/status/1729622316945129893

Don’t Do Unto Others What We Would Have Done to Them?
Once more, it gets even creepier how the projectionist Left is daily still shrieking about impending Trump “revenge” and “rage”, or about Trump’s purported enemies lists to come, or about his planned weaponization of the bureaucracies. The fear is in direct proportion to Biden cognitive decline, sinking polls, and walls-are-closing-in family corruption.
Should we laugh or cry about the transparent hypocrisy?
After all, who tried to wreck an administration with a 22-month-long Russian “collusion” fraud, suppressed a laptop with the lie it was Russian “disinformation”, or impeached a president for a phone call correctly identifying the Biden family’s operation in Ukraine as utterly corrupt and at the expense of U.S. interests?
Do we recall that the Obama-Biden nexus—from 2009-17, and from 2021 until now—cemented the reputation of FBI as a partisan operation, rebooted the Pentagon as an agent of woke change ferreting out “white rage” and “white privilege”, reinvented the DOJ as a Biden family protection service, politicized the CIA so that it, along with the FBI, interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and warped the IRS by suppressing evidence of Biden family tax fraud?
What Lois Lerner, Eric Holder (self-identified as Obama’s “wingman”), and Loretta Lynch left undone was taken up by Merrick Garland.
Does the New York Times, or Joe Scarborough or any of these strange pundits raging about Trump rage to come remember how the “Logan Act” farce was used to destroy Michael Flynn?
Or the Foreign Policy essay of Rosa Brooks, a former Obama-era Pentagon lawyer, about how to drive out Trump without waiting for the 2020 election, by either impeachment, the 25thAmendment—or a military coup?
How about the “kill Trump” porn that saw celebrities, actors, and academics envisioning decapitating, stabbing, shooting, exploding, or incinerating the orange man?
How about Anonymous’s confessions about how fellow bureaucrats were trying to undermine and sabotage the operations of the Trump administration from within? Or the Pentagon’s retired 4-stars calling for Trump to be removed the “sooner the better”, or labeling him a Mussolini or Nazi-like figure?
Who paid Twitter millions to censor the news of political opponents?
Who paid foreign national Christopher Steele to peddle a fake dossier to destroy the 2016 Republican candidate?
Do we remember Biden’s Phantom-of-the-Opera harangue about his “ultra-MAGA” and “semi-fascists” political enemies?
Were not the twin pillars of Biden’s current foreign policy team, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, once respectively knee-deep in the anti-Trump Alfa Bank-ping hoax and the “51 Intelligence Authorities” laptop scam?
Again, the reason the media and politicians are terrified is that they are convinced Trump would do exactly what they would do in his place—and what they would do utterly suddenly horrifies them.
Trump’s former Defense Secretary Mark Esper on the threat of a second Trump term: “He’ll be able to enact his policy of revenge that he’s been talking about and retribution. And look, it’s quite a dangerous time for our democracy if that were to happen.” But sure, we are overwrought, while tough retired guy and dog walker is OK with a second Trump Administration.

On former Trump ally Steve Bannon’s podcast, Patel promised that the Trump team would fill government positions from top to bottom with loyalists and would use the Department of Justice to go after those perceived to be Trump’s enemies.
“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections—we’re going to come after you. Whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out.”

Yes, Trump dislikes education and the mainstream media. His base is predominantly ignorant; thinks it's so impressive that he's a gazillionaire, yet sends him money every time he begs for it.
Ain't most Republicans also graduates of higher education? Most college graduates are very proud of their schools and the education the received. Those hefty endowments socked away collecting interest would ease the pain out of any changes in tax status.
I wouldn't send any political party the dog chit I scrape off my shoes. I'm not convinced that trump ever learned anything from his college education. It ain't like he ever needed it. His nest was already feathered for him
