Democrats: Worse Than a Biblical Plague
Look at their reactions in 2016 compared to what they are doing today.
President Trump now has, I believe, 90 or 91 counts filed against him by a parade of prosecutorial clowns and their Grand Juries that were hand picked from districts that are overwhelmingly Democrat and overwhelmingly Trump hating.
For a little context as to just how outrageous this process is, I jumped in the Wayback Machine with Mr. Peabody and Sherman again, and here is a little sample of the post-2016 election reactions from Democrats and their media allies:
Politico on November 22, 2016: “At least a half-dozen Democratic electors have signed onto an attempt to block Donald Trump from winning an Electoral College majority, an effort designed not only to deny Trump the presidency but also to undermine the legitimacy of the institution.”
Politico on December 14, 2016: “An anti-Trump activist has begun running full-page ads in newspapers across the country to persuade Electoral College members to “vote their conscience” as part of a pressure campaign intended to block the election of Donald Trump. The ads, which appeared Wednesday morning in the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Austin American-Statesman, Salt Lake City Tribune and Tampa Bay Times, are also slated to appear in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Wisconsin State Journal on Thursday. The 538 members of the Electoral College are slated to meet Monday in their respective state capitals. The ads target Republican electors in states won by Trump.”
CNN on December 15, 2016: “Amid the last month’s exhausting drama around Cabinet picks and presidential tweetstorms, one date stands out – December 19, the day the Electoral College picks our next president. As hope from Jill Stein’s recount fades for Hillary Clinton’s supporters, another Hail Mary chance to thwart Donald Trump’s presidency has taken its place: that enough members of the Electoral College sworn to vote for Trump will break their pledge and vote to elect an alternate candidate. America needs 37 “faithless electors” from states Trump won to do this in order to drop him below the 270 threshold and block him from automatically winning the White House.”
Vox on December 19, 2016: “Donald Trump won last month’s presidential election. But many liberals and progressives are still clinging to one faint, almost-certainly-doomed hope that he can be blocked from the presidency — through the Electoral College. That’s because the November 8 vote was technically not to make Trump president, but only to determine who 538 electors in various states across the country will be. It is those electors who will cast the votes that legally elect the president on Monday, December 19. In modern times, the casting of electoral votes has been a purely ceremonial occasion in which the state results from Election Day have been rubber-stamped. This year, there’s more drama — because there’s been a highly unusual effort to convince Trump-supporting electors to simply not vote for Trump.”
CBS News on December 21, 2016: “A historic number of “faithless” electors -- seven in total--each cast their ballots on Monday for a candidate other than the one who won his or her state.”
Newsweek on January 6, 2017: “U.S. Democratic lawmakers planned to challenge President-elect Donald Trump's Electoral College victory on Friday in a largely symbolic move that is unlikely to gain traction in the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress but exposes lingering dismay over a contentious election campaign.”
Paul Krugman in the NYT on January 16, 2017 about Democrat Congressman John Lewis: "Now Mr. Lewis says that he won’t attend the inauguration of Donald Trump, whom he regards as an illegitimate president."
The Hill on May 24, 2017: “According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll provided exclusively to The Hill, 68 percent of voters said Democrats have not accepted that Trump won fairly and is a legitimate president. That figure includes 69 percent of Republicans, 69 percent of independents and 65 percent of Democrats. Only four months into Trump’s presidency, Democrats have openly discussed impeachment and have accused the president of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, as well as trying to block investigations into the matter.”
Washington Post on September 26, 2019, quoting Hillary Clinton: "No, it doesn’t kill me because he knows he’s an illegitimate president. I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did."
Consider the legal actions following post-2016 presidential election:
Total number of Grand Juries convened: 0
Total number of indictments: 0
Total number of arrests: 0
Total number of convictions: 0
Total number of politicians and lawyers facing criminal action for expressing opinions: 0
That doesn’t include the 2017 Inauguration Day riots in DC or the Democrats constantly calling for violence against Trump, his family and his supporters for his entire term.
Democrats are a plague on the country. Biblical Egypt dodged a bullet.
Someone needs to run this up the chain to SCOTUS ASAP.
I actually think they don't care if any of it is thrown out or overturned...they just hope the damage is done by then.
Never forget Harry Reid's comment, when asked about his lies concerning Mitt Romney's taxes... "of course I lied but we won didn't we?" 🤬
Imagine if, at the last moment, instead of ordering the killing of the Hebrew firstborns Pharaoh had instead offered WIC aid to all unmarried Hebrew mothers, SNAP benefits for all (probably grain from the very granaries Joseph had ordered built,) an EEOC for cutters of straw and molders of bricks and a DEI program for whip-bearing Hebrew overseers! Israel would have remained captive in Egypt to this day!
