"DEMOCRATS: KICK TRUMP WHILE HE'S DOWN - 6.12.23"

A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT:


Donald Trump has put the lives of tens of thousands of American service men and women at risk – all around the world – by stealing the documents. Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn if American troops live or die. Donald Trump HATES THE TROOPS. And why aren’t we hearing that? Bill Barr, The National Review, Governor Sununu, and The National Review blistered Trump. Scott Jennings, the rabid CNN conservative? Jennings hit a point that in normal times would have been enough for the Republicans to have already thrown Trump overboard, for all time? “If you had a son or a daughter who was serving…in a hostile place and you thought maybe their information was in a document that could have been picked off the friggin floor, do you know how this could impact a military family? The thing is when you’re commander in chief, you have this responsibility to the military and the people who serve. It’s sort of offensive to me actually that we would be so cavalier with the information that could possibly put our people in jeopardy.”


And if there is anything more shocking than the number of anti-Trump statements ESPECIALLY from lawyers and from HIS lawyers – it is the fact that in normal times the Democrats would have taken the essence of Scott Jennings’ point: TRUMP PUT THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN SERVICE MEN AT RISK, and they would have hung that fact around the necks of not just Trump and everybody close to him, but around the necks of EVERY Republican who didn’t condemn him and the Democrats would be screaming “Why does Donald Trump hate the troops?” and “Why does Ron DeSantis hate the troops?” and “Why does Lindsey Graham hate the troops?” and if the POINT ITSELF wasn’t decisive enough, the Democrats could follow it up with the new CBS News poll that asks is there a national security risk if Trump kept nuclear and military documents and the answer was YES, Trump put the National Security at Risk, YES… from 38 percent OF REPUBLICANS.


Why in the chorus of sheep bleating about Trump’s rights and Hillary Clinton this and weaponization that, are virtually ALL the dissenting voices… Republicans? Where are the Democrats? Where are the Democrats talking about the grave risk Trump was and is to National Security? Where are the Democrats demanding that he will be president again only over their dead bodies? Where are the Democrats saying no matter how this trial turns out, Trump definitely put American troops at risk for the sake of his ego, and he may have gotten American troops KILLED, and he may STILL get American troops KILLED? Where is the outrage?


Axios reports the Democratic National Committee asked Democrats in the Committee to no-comment the indictment. The PRESIDENT is no-commenting the indictment. The entire hierarchy of the Democratic Party is staying off-stage because of some kind of nonsensical, 1975-notion that to speak out against Trump’s criminality and treachery and treason is to somehow grasp a third rail, that because if you speak up for truth and honesty and Americanism and you are a politician you have somehow POLITICIZED truth and honesty and Americanism. Mr. President, House Democrats, Senate Democrats, we elected you to stand up for the rule of law, against Trump. Proclaim it and exult in it. Your silence will be mistaken for weakness. Kick him when he's down - and sing the anthem while you do it.

1. Democrats are doing what they should, avoiding all appearance of partisanship.

[NJCher]

2. It's called understanding the system

Being professional

And

Not letting the pig drag you into the mud.

I understand the sentiments of the writer, but we can’t let this pathetic moron determine the rules of engagement.

3. Basically great, staying out of way while opponent makes mistakes. But

... but they could talk about the human angle, i.e. how families with military might feel about tRump's shitty attitude toward them.

Remember, it was tRump who asked about war dead "What's in it for them?"

It was tRump who wouldn't get a little wet in a rain shower to honor war dead in Europe.

It was tRump who gave away source information to Russians in the Oval Office that caused an ally to have to extract people under very difficult circumstances.

5. Republicans politicized, demonized, polarized. Only they have a chance to reach supporters.

Democrats and their allies talking won't change anything, even if they get all passionate and righteously angry and wave their arms around. I know some people really believe the problem is Democrats not saying the right things. Being right doesn't give one superpowers of persuasion. Much too late for that. In my opinion.

4. It's a total BS column

Nonsense. It claims that good Republicans are speaking out and Democrats are not. The problem is that the media amplifies the very small number number of republicans that speak out against Trump but the great number of Democrats who have been speaking out now and from day one barely register.

Don’t fall for it.
