At
least 6.
Started
out with the locker room talk scandal, but as Trump never presented
himself as a plaster saint, it didn't carry any weight.
Next
came the Russia. Russia, Russia. Trumps energy policies pulled the
rug out from under the Russians, and Gen Mattis put a stop to their
more egregious adventurism in the middle east so unless Putin was
trying to undermine his own country, the charge against Trump made no
sense.
As
a by-product of the Russia fiasco, the involvement of the DNC and
Clinton campaign in the Steele dossier became painfully obvious.
The
impeachment effort filled headlines daily with people increasingly
noticing that it served as an excuse for the House to do nothing
else. I suppose that if you know that whatever the House does will be
stopped in the Senate, and vice versa, there must be little incentive
to even show up for work.
The
involvement of the Chinese in stealing everything they could get
their hands on in the US and adventurism abroad was met with
resistance which the left tried, unsuccessfully to label as racism.
The
virus problem was used as an excuse to shut down the fastest growing
economy ever seen and mute Trumps claims to economic success. Used as
an attack on Trump, it worked, but it worked sort of like setting off
a giant stink bomb in a crowded elevator. The Chinese are trying to
blame the virus on Trump. So far, no one is buying that. Trump is
trying to get people back to work and is meeting strong resistance
from the Dems who would prefer we all stayed home and starved.
Now
comes the latest attack: The George Floyd riots. Note that the riots
are happening in Donk controlled cities, and that the municipal
administrations are for the most part, siding with the rioters. Black
Lives Matter? Not really. If they did, the riots would be put down,
the Antifas would be jailed, and black-owned businesses would not be
burned out. Unemployed blacks are victims and as such are actively
courted by the Dems. It's a good thing since the last time we had
unemployment this high they elected their president 4 times in a row.
The
riots being municipal level disturbances, the president has limited
ability to jump in and put them down. It's a local problem after all.
Somehow Trump is expected to come up with a Federal solution to local
police problems while the house panders to black nationalists and
tacitly supports their militia, Antifa. As such, I expect the left
will be actively supporting the riots all the way through November
with calls for more every time some thug of the right pigmentation
gets shot by a cop in the commission of a crime. They will probably
call for more if Trump gets reelected to protest “Vote
Suppression”, something that can be investigated through his second
term. Get out in the street, wave a sign, spread plague, burn your
house down, and vote Dem. It's a safe bet that if a Dem becomes
President, money for the rioters will dry up over night.
Every
Monday, for the last 3-1/2 years, we've been told that the coming
Friday would be the big day with Trump frog marched out of the White
House in handcuffs. I'm still hearing this. I expect to hear it until
2024, unless the election turns into a huge landslide of voters fed
up with Dem shenanigans who hand Trump a second term with both the
House and Senate. In that case, the republicans will revert to form
and spend most of their time attacking each other.
