Guest Post by Scott Adams
I saw this quote on CNN.com today: “The episode is the latest woe for Trump, whose administration is engulfed in a series of scandals linked to Russia.”
A “series of scandals linked to Russia”? Would it be equally accurate to characterize it as a series of stories manufactured by the media, none of which have been confirmed to be a big deal?
Today’s headline news is that an alleged Comey memo indicates President Trump tried to obstruct justice in the Flynn investigation by saying to Comey in a private meeting, “I hope you can let this go.”
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

Key word = hope
How did the New York Times characterize Trump’s expression of hope?
Do you see Trump asking Comey to end the Flynn investigation in the quote “I hope you can let this go”?
All I see in that sentence is “duh.” Obviously Trump HOPED his friend and advisor Flynn would be okay. Did it need to be said? Was there some confusion on this point with Comey? Did Comey enter the meeting thinking maybe President Trump wanted to see his friend and advisor Flynn get eaten by the system?
I’m no lawyer, but I can’t see any judge or jury in the United States prosecuting someone for expressing a hope that the future turns out well for his friend.
Watch the headlines and pundits today transmogrify “hope” into “asked to end the Flynn investigation.”
That isn’t news.
That is an assassination.
I also think we are seeing with the recent leaks the first phase of Mutually Assured Destruction of our government. The leaks will destroy Trump if they continue. But if that happens, no Democrat and no anti-Trump Republican will ever be able to govern in the future. Payback is guaranteed. The next President to sit in the White House will be leaked to the point of ineffectiveness. And that’s how the Republic dies.
That isn’t necessarily bad news. The Republic form of government doesn’t make sense in the modern world anyway. We already evolved into a form of direct democracy via social media and polling. Our politicians can’t risk going against a big majority – even for noble reasons – because social media will organize to drive that person out of office over the issue. In effect, we are already a direct democracy. The Republic is already history, except in a technical sense.
If you can sit passively while watching the Opposition Media turn “hope” into “asked Comey to end the investigation,” you are part of the slow assassination of President Trump. And you are also part of the slow assassination of the next president, and the next. If Trump goes down from leaks, Mutually Assured Destruction kicks in automatically.
On the plus side, the public has the power and the moral authority to strip the Opposition Media of its power and take control of the government via the weight of public opinion. But that probably won’t happen because of our old friend confirmation bias. Confirmation bias makes the innocent word “hope” look like “Asked him to end the investigation.” Trump’s critics will see it that way. And if they do, your next president might be Elizabeth Warren.
She should last about two years.
This is the final act. This is the steel cage death match where the government/corporate dragoons destroy Trump and the US leadership to consummate what should have been hitlary’s coronation as the Red Queen. Every foot soldier in the establishment (read DC) is on his, her or its horse and driving their hardest to emasculate both him and the country.
Today even the clown who is supposedly Trump’s ghostwriter has projected that he will resign. Kinda like the democrat machine winning Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. Every “charge” that has been plastered on your television, newspaper ( if you still get one) radio news blurb (from a DC feed of course) and the internet is on the kill on this one.
Bottom line is that Trump told the world he was going to drain the swamp and he is doing it. He is fighting BY HIMSELF (thank you Paul fucking Ryan and Mitch classless McConnell) to do this and is consistently being trashed by everyone on that side of the political divide. They on a daily basis project into our homes, communication devices and lives that he should have been at Nuremburg in the gallows with the worst of mankind.
He is not and I don’t think he is going to quit……for anything. Call me crazy but he has survived in the snake pit known as New York real estate with tougher competition. If he only gets some help and that help must come from those who believed he would drain the latrine…because every slave, horse holder and water carrier who gets his, hers or its mammon from the beast is against him.
We shall see………..
PS Remember…there has not been one shred of evidence or proof that he has done anything short of pissing on their government/corporate parade of facism.
So Scott Adams wants to see the end of the Republic. Replaced with mob rule, errrr, democracy.
Democracy was well defined thus: “Two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner”.
Hey Scott, civics 101 might help.
Capn, we’ve already seen the end of the republic. (elite) Mob rule has replaced democracy. I’m not defending Adams but perhaps a cold hard look at reality on your part might help.
I agree with Musket but Trump is still a warmonger attacking Syria (that’s anti-statesman) and still has the Kushners and Banksters in his Cabinet; he needs to clean his own house first and then turn all guns on the leftist traitors still in government. TPTB are attacking him like Killer Bees; and he needs to drain the swamp before they can sink his boat (the economy). Pray for Trump to have an epiphany with God and make a new start that pleases God and Conservatives because if God be for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:31
OFFENSE, OFFENSE
Defense will get you this……….
Yesterday I saw about 10 evidently unemployed middle aged Black males wearing white T-shirts sitting and talking so I walked up and cordially introduced myself and said I was interested in talking with them. They asked if I had any drugs and when I said no, they scorned me and said why did I want to talk and why now; where did I live and how long have I been there; etc. I said I’m a retired farmer in Limestone, a party official and not a Cop. They asked if I support Trump and I said mostly yes. They said get out of here and several stood up. I thanked them for their time. I dust my shoes off and will not throw them any of my pearls. I am sure they are FSA and will one day attack Whites.
rhs…..if only the Blacks knew how the Dem’s have thrown them under the bus at least since 1850. This includes the removal of Blacks from planet earth via eugenics (sterilization) and abortion – both of which Blacks were the main target.
This would be similar to a Joo in Auschwitz supporting Hitler and Himmler.
You walked up to 10 blacks and asked to talk to them? You’re a fucking idiot. You need to visit SBPDL, VDARE or American Renaissance and catch up with reality bub.
Thanks for the references; they’re new to me. Yes, I’m slow but short of idiot. I know to avoid Blacks in cities but I’m Precinct Captain for Thomas City, Cody, Fanlew etc and I need to know my area and they me. The Regional Director wants to go door to door with me one day soon for our Florida registration drive. Race relations have suddenly gotten really bad thanks to TPTB; we need to try and avoid a race war here (although I doubt we can) but I won’t purposefully be sticking my neck out so far again even here.
You said, “Race relations have suddenly gotten really bad thanks to TPTB…” No, race relations have gotten really bad because blacks have lower IQs and a propensity for free shit & believing horseshit. TPTB recognize this and have used it to their advantage.
If they impeach Trump on these ridiculous fake stories, it will trigger Civil War 2.0.
The Republican leadership better wake up and realize that it is Trump that got them the house, the senate and the presidency. If they become complicit in the assassination they will lose the house, the senate and the presidency because those who supported Trump will leave the party. Those idiot GOP establishment types have no clue that their future is strong in supporting Trump, not in participating in the assassination. But then, maybe the GOP just likes being in the minority because they can complain, not be held accountable and go away rich with insider trading that is legal for them.
If the Republican heirachy doesn’t quit opposing Trump and cooperating with the Democrats against him there will soon be no Republican party.
Not because the Republican voters that put them in power start voting for the Democrats, that won’t happen, but because they will go third party in future elections, or just not vote at all, and leave them with no support they way they have left Trump with no support.
And it will serve them right, they need to wake up real quick like if they want to remain as anything with a potential beyond an obscure and politically impotent party in the future.
Imo this lets the world know the deep state and corruption of Comey and how far it goes.They are scared and are using the media .If people are fed up like me they have long since turned off Faux,cnn,abc and the rest
