Decisions. Decisions. Ron sends me so much good stuff I always have trouble deciding what to post. I guess I could just post all of his stuff for a while and take a month off. Hmmmm. Not a bad idea. Anyhoo, here he is on Oprah and TDS.
Ron on.
This whole Trump Derangement Syndrome thing is getting tedious. No, it’s becoming hysterical. What the never-trumpers want now is to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove DJT from power because of things he said decades ago and a few stunners he came up with while campaigning for the office . . . in other words, because his unconventional not-quite-political opinions don’t correspond with their liberal agenda.
Well, that’s not the point of the 25th. The thing was written to provide clear path of continuity and transfer of power in the event PotUS gets shot or run over by a truck or has a massive stroke, a la Wilson. The only part of the Amendment even remotely applicable to taking down a functioning PotUS is Section IV, which reads as follows:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Yeah, like that’s gonna happen – Pence? . . . reading on deeper into the language is this inconvenient little part: Congress must determine by two-thirds vote of BOTH Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office or the Veep has to get out of the chair and give power back to the PotUS, unless he’s physically incapacitated, like in a coma, or wearing a canvas jacket with wraparound sleeves.
So a buncha armchair shrinks collude by remote, much like the “scientists” did over global warming, that DJT is non-compos mentis or psychologically imbalanced or demented because of increasing age or paranoia or schizophrenia or too much Diet Coke or whatever and they consider that a lawful and adequate justification for a coup d’etat.
I’m not exactly sure what it would get ‘em, tho, ‘cause Pence would take the reins in ANY case, unless they whisked him away to Elba or someplace after the Dems took over the House in the mid-terms and put the Speaker’s gavel back in SFranNan’s claw.
Jeeeez, if the left-leaning denizens of D.C. and the liberal-biased media want to analyze psychological unfitness for office, perhaps they should start with the obvious – Nancy Pelosi, who is unmistakably in the throes of dementia.
Then of course there’s Maxine Waters, a classic case of long-term lunacy. And we mustn’t forget Hillary Rodham, the congenital liar and habitual rationalizer who believes she was chosen by Zeus to be 45. Elijah Cummings is, of course, a textbook example of racist blindness. And Chuck Schumer has the archetypal selective memory, unable to recall anything he said prior to November 2016.
And now they’re grooming a TV-show host as their fallback position for the genelec in case impeachment or invoking the 25th doesn’t pan out.
Oprah.
HFS! In 2016 they screamed that Trump is no more than a TV reality-show host, unfit to be president. Now they’re saying let’s make Oprah president. Good grief!
Does ANYbody know how she stands on the issues? I mean, who the hell authenticated her deification? Who presided over her apotheosis ceremony? Who performed the sacraments for the ritual elevating her to sainthood?
Hey, it takes some chutzpah to absolve Hollywood for its century-long habits of trading sex for plum roles and admonish a shrinking audience of 18 million on TV for thinking naughty thoughts about filmdom’s aristocracy behind closed doors.
Just on the surface I’m against her simply because both Bill Kristol and Meryl Streep are FOR her. Hell, she’s basically a left-wing talking-point parrot, and she was a great admirer of Harvey Weinstein. Yeah, yeah . . . she didn’t know. Right!! The term “liberal entertainer” is the classic syntactical redundancy, and “hypocrite” is le mot jus.
She was also a staunch supporter of Hillary, no doubt because of gender loyalty and other women’s-lib red herrings. She of course supported Obama out of nothing more than ethnic loyalty; in fact, she’s the one who introduced him to an unsuspecting America, a deed for which she should be horsewhipped, and often.
She has said repeatedly that Islam is all about peace, tolerance, women’s rights, diversity . . . and disagrees with using military power to eradicate terrorism. She thinks vaccines are partly responsible for the increase in autism, and she’s a dedicated advocate of LGBT rights.
She wants increased scrutiny on private gun purchases and thinks we “owe” citizenship to illegal immigrants . . . just because they went to the effort to get themselves here, I guess. She also wants a “conversation” about race, which as we all know means “I’ll talk to you about it and you sit there and listen.”
She preached absolution to the self-congratulatory cult of insulated millionaire celebs, deciding FOR us who should manage our money, our education, our culture, our security.
And those limousine libs are going with a black female because they think “it’s time” and would be oh, just SO cool. Charisma trumping qualifications. She may be a self-made billionaire, but she’s a presumptuous, double-standard, left-leaning one with even fewer quals than the Magic Negro she foisted upon us 10 years ago.
Oprah has made some heavy-duty faux pas in her life. She basically created the Dr. Phil monster, and refused to have Sarah Palin on her show during the 2008 election runup. Her arbitrary and unilateral attack on cattle ranchers was a classic, saying that she’d never eat another burger because of mad-cow disease.
One of her worst came while promoting her movie The Butler and telling a British audience that Obama is disrespected in America simply because he’s black. Here’s the quote about racism in America and how blacks are terrorized by it:
I say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South Africa, I said this for my own, you know, community in the south – there are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.
No, a Winfrey administration would be just a third Obama term, except with perhaps a tad more decorum, moxie, and testosterone. The military would suffer dangerous cuts, the debt would continue to rise on a parabolic curve, and investment capital would do a smart about-face and return to where it sat during the Soetoro error.
The only good thing that might result is that the voters might finally get their “thirst for firsts” out of their systems and return to a more conventional-style set of candidates in future, perhaps even with term limits for congresskritters.
Ron off.
Just what we need. Another black racist. On the other hand during the State of The Union Address some lucky Congresscritter could reach under his/her seat and find out that he/she has just won a new car.

I went out to dinner this past weekend with some folks, and a couple of those folks were college professors. They were talking about starting a betting pool for *when* Trump was removed from office (for whatever reason). I told them they should rename their betting pool to “the start date of the 2nd American Civil War.” They appeared shocked by my assertion. I told them in firm language that Trump was elected by more than 60 million people who voted for him, and we’re not about to sit back and let a coup against him succeed. I also reminded them that *my* side owns most of the guns and ammo, and knows how to use them, and also that most police and military are on *my* side, and so they should just cool that rhetoric.
Needless to say, I at least let them know that not everyone agrees with them, and that the old axiom of never discussing religion or politics in polite company still applies!
Rusty
Right on Rusty, and right on Ron.
I love TDS. I see it over and over and it makes me laugh, almost giggle. These poor misguided fools are showing what’s really going on inside of them and it ain’t pretty. Hopefully when the next election cycle hits, the Repubs are going to be smart enough to use this against the Dems. Should make it a cake walk into office.
Run Oprah, run!
Really think minority males like that feminist agenda anti-male negress? Lololololololz. The Donald is guaranteed his second term.

Aww, how quaint…. (((Ivanka))) has her imaginary #BlackFriend #GrrlPower
A very true and intelligent reply GOC!!
I’ll stick by my guns and always support a Conservative candidate.
The thirst for firsts won’t be satisfied until the left gets someone who’s gay in the Whitehouse. Seems that mainstreaming off center attitudes and lifestyles is what that party is all about. . . . . and using your money to fund it.
Someone recently called Oprah the masculine version of Bathhouse Barry.
