Illustrations of panic are seen in the decision by more than three dozen Democratic members of the House to boycott Trump's inauguration, isolating themselves as selfishly uncooperative from the start.
Further child-like immaturity is found in an article by Steve Watson @infowars.com, headed: “Desperate: Democrat Calls For Trump Impeachment, Claims Russia Fed Him The Term ‘Crooked Hillary”
According to Mr. Watson, “California Congresswoman Maxine Waters was egged on by MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews to explain why Trump’s presidency is "not legitimate.”
Waters went on to call for Trump “to be impeached on the grounds that he coined the term ‘crooked Hillary’ in collusion with the Russian government, even suggesting that the Kremlin was feeding Trump such lines to use during his campaign.
“If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role to help provide strategy — if they’re the ones who came up with ‘Crooked Hillary,’ if they’re the ones who came up with, ‘she’s ill, something’s wrong with her energy,’ and the way that he basically described her during the campaign — I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.”
In closing she “went as far as to suggest that the nicknames Trump used against all his political opponents, even Republicans, were fed to him by Russia.”
At the same time, despite Ms Waters unfounded rant, concrete evidence of shrinking leftist appeal among the populace can be seen in reports such as one by Valerie Richardson @washingtontimes.com, this morning:
“Donald Trump may have a point about paid protesters: Job ads running in more than 20 cities offer $2,500 per month for agitators to demonstrate at this week’s presidential inauguration events.
“Demand Protest, a San Francisco company that bills itself as the “largest private grassroots support organization in the United States,” posted identical ads Jan. 12 in multiple cities on Backpage.com seeking “operatives.”
“Get paid fighting against Trump!” says the ad.”
The job offers a monthly retainer of $2,500 plus “our standard per-event pay of $50/hr, as long as you participate in at least 6 events a year,” as well as health, vision and dental insurance for full-time operatives.
However, while these groups of agitators are paid for their support in protesting Trump, others are assessing him in a drastically different, far more realistic light.
FoxNews reported today, that “the International Monetary Fund said the U.S. would grow faster than expected thanks to President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to cut taxes and increase spending on infrastructure.”
Reuters reported the agency said gross domestic product will go up to 2.3 percent in 2017, and to 2.5 percent in 2018, while Maurice Obstfeld, the IMF’s chief economist and a former adviser to President Obama said: “We think the prospects of a more expansionary fiscal stance coupled with tax reform justifies some upgrade of the U.S. forecast.”
“Trump has promised to cut tax rates and make multinational corporations bring their untaxed earnings back to the U.S. instead of keeping them in other countries. He also plans to increase spending on infrastructure through a major infrastructure spending package.”
As if to help confirm the IMF’s positive outlook, Mike Colias reported @wsj.com yesterday that GM will announce plans this week to invest at least $1 billion across several U.S. factories.
The move was “aimed at underlining its commitment to U.S. manufacturing jobs in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s criticism of the auto maker’s imports from Mexico.”
During his press conference last week, Trump thanked Ford and Fiat Chrysler for recently announced U.S. investment plans expected to create a combined 2,700 jobs. At the time Trump also said: “I hope that General Motors will be following. And I think they will be.”
Along the same lines of increasingly positive economic signs, Sarah Nassauer reported @wsj.com this morning: “Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it plans to create about 10,000 U.S. jobs this year, a sign that even the country’s largest private employer feels the need to tout American job growth ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.”
Beynd previously planned store openings, store expansions and new e-commerce services, the “retailer said 24,000 additional construction jobs will be supported by those efforts.”
Dan Bartlett, Wal-Mart executive vice president of corporate affairs, said in a press release: “With a presence in thousands of communities and a vast supplier network, we know we play an important role in supporting and creating American jobs.”
Therefore, as real-world events and happenings continually defuse and debunk hapless Democrat politico’s, the changes toward the better are now more frequently reflected amongst basic, “everyday” people.
An example comes from a Facebook posting by member Janie Williams who wrote today: “If Democrats of Congress decide not to attend the inauguration, officials should invite veterans, police, fireman, and all EMS servicemen to sit in their place.”
That received 697 “Likes”
Ceil Maynard added: “What i don't understand is the number of Black Americans that are criticizing Steve Harvey for meeting with Trump. I just don't know what they want. If you try and communicate to improve the lives of some Americas they don't like that. If you don't try and communicate they don't like that either. What is it going to take to be one America? Give the man a chance we vote again in 4 years but maybe just maybe things will be better than they have been for the past 8 years. I have a feeling the streets could be lined with gold coins and some people would still not be satisfied.
Another 456 “Likes” followed that one.
And lastly, economist Art Laffer appeared on Stuart Varney’s Varney & Co on Fox Business Channel this morning. Varney pointedly attempted to force his guest into acknowledging that the many protestors and anti-Trump zealots presented a significant problem for Trump. Laffer, however, taking the matter in stride, said that similar responses by the losing side have occurred throughout the nation’s history.
Varney continued to keep the pressure up, looking for controversy, to which Laffer wouldn’t respond. And in doing so, Varney turned himself into one who appeared hostilely agitated and unfamiliar with the nation’s history. Not a very good idea for one who earns his keep on American TV while being a transplanted, ill-informed Brit who knows almost nothing about many of the American subjects he addresses. Yet, he babbles on anyway.
And then another Facebook friend posted this one:
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
