Booker Hysterics

The Senator does a great Flat Fatima imitation

President Trump used the word “shithole” when describing foreign locations.  He mentioned Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations.  Reports about this January 11 Oval Office meeting often fail to mention El Salvador because it does not support the media’s racist narrative.  Apparently El Salvador is not black enough.   We know President Trump used this word because the allegation has been repeated ad-nauseam.  The only source for this charge is Senator Dick Durbin.  Senator Durbin has a history of “misrepresenting” facts.  That is a polite way of saying he is a liar.  Meghan McCain asked him, “You have a history of misrepresenting statements from private White House meetings, and some say that you’ve actually done more harm than good to the DACA deal by revealing what Trump said in his private meeting. Do you think that’s true?”  His response was designed to distract attention from the question.  He replied, “Well, I can tell you what you hear behind me are the voices of democracy; demonstrators who are on Capitol Hill willing to be arrested in a non-violent way for the Dream Act.”   McCain was referring to a 2013 Politico report about a meeting with the president and GOP leaders.  Durbin claimed that one GOP leader stated, “I cannot even stand to look at you” to the president.  The White House and the House speaker’s office denied Durbin’s incendiary claim.  Obama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, stated, “I looked into this and spoke with somebody who was in that meeting and it did not happen.”  Two senators, the president and a cabinet member deny hearing the word said.  The media is sticking with Durbin.

Liberals are outraged by Trumps’ alleged comments.  Durbin stated, “I cannot imagine that in the history of [the Oval Office], that hallowed room, where the president of the United States goes to work every day, there has ever been a conversation quite like that. It was vile, it was hateful, it was racist.”  Perhaps Durbin did not recall that LBJ used quite a bit of off color language in the Oval Office and Bill Clinton did a few things in that “hallowed room” that would shock the sensitive Senator.  Senator Durbin contacted Senator Cory Booker to inform him of what was supposedly said during the meeting.  He got the expected response.  Booker claimed that, “When Dick Durbin called me, I had tears of rage when I heard about his experience in that meeting.”  During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Booker attacked Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.  Earlier Senator Patrick Leahy asked Nielsen whether Trump had used the vulgarity to describe the countries “or a substantially similar word.”  Nielsen responded, “I did not hear that word used.”  Booker blasted, “The commander in chief in an Oval Office meeting referring to people from African countries and Haitians with the most vile and vulgar language, that language festers.  When ignorance and bigotry is [sic] allied with power it is a dangerous force in our country.  Your silence and your amnesia is [sic] complicit in it.”

Would Senator Booker have talked to Senators Perdue and Cotton in the same threatening manner?  Obviously not.  Booker exposed himself for what he is: a lowlife.

           

Of course the media is doing its best to promote the racist narrative.  Jennifer Rubin, the “conservative” at the Washington Post is doing her best Claude Rains imitation.  She is shocked, shocked to find that politicians lie.  She claims that Senator Cotton not only lied he also impugned the integrity of Sen. Richard Durbin, who told the truth.  She claims, “Honorable men would resign after such a remarkable revelation of their crummy character.”  She suggests that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen may have violated 18 U.S.C. § 1001 during her testimony before the Judiciary Committee.  Unfortunately I missed Ms Rubin’s articles on the lies the heads of the intelligence agencies committed before Congress.  I also missed her column on Harry Reid who bragged about his lying about Mitt Romney’s taxes.

Book Review - Milena

Margarete Buber-Neumann’s Milema is an account of one of the millions of tragedies that took place in the last century. Her friendship with Milena Jesenka is an example of a relationship the intensity of which can only be created in adversity. Indeed, the word friendship does not do it justice. Margarete points out that not all German’s were beasts, mentioning in particular an SS Overseer Langefeld. I started reading the book to do research on Soviet vs. Nazi concentration camps. It did not satisfy this need but I could not put the book down. It is not without criticism however. Margarete quote Milena at length about the superior qualities of the Czech people. I am sure she would have been disappointed had she lived. The Czechs did not behave all that nobly following the peace. The Nazi had their Lidice. The Czechs had their Horní Moštěnice. Horní Moštěnice was a far greater atrocity than Lidice, but unlike Lidice there was no movie made about it and it was completely forgotten. She also mentions that a “hundred and twenty students and schoolchildren were killed” by the Nazis during a protest in October 1939. The internet claims that two people were killed during this protest. I suspect that the internet figure is closer to the truth. Exaggeration damages one’s credibility.

A Hookah Smoking Caterpillar Has Given The Media The Call

The sexual harassment charge against Trump did not work.  The Russian collusion charge against Trump appears to be collapsing.  A new “exposé,” “Fire and Fury,” has ushered in the latest attempt to remove the current president.  On the satirically named CNN program, Reliable Sources, the host claimed, “Reporters and some lawmakers are openly talking about the President's mental stability.”  He asserted these, “claims were no longer just speculation but an indisputable fact.”   He then enlisted Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame to bolster his argument.  Bernstein remarked, “We’re in a real constitutional crisis . . . where we as a country and where we as journalists have never been before in which a huge part of the citizenry of our country and the leadership of the country in Congress, privately and in public, openly questioned the fitness and stability of the president of the United States.”  Perhaps Bernstein has forgotten the media’s constant drumbeat that Ronald Reagan was suffering from dementia while in office.  Bernstein may want to get himself checked.

The CNN host complained, “When a president of the United States threatens North Korea by invoking the size of his nuclear button, it is fair to ask about his fitness.”  Trump’s response was an appropriately adolescent reply to an equally adolescent threat.  The clowns on CNN would have been much more comfortable with U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright giving Kim Jong Il a basketball signed by Michael Jordan.  Since 1995, the United States has provided North Korea with over $1 billion in assistance.  How successful has that technique been?

Bernstein confessed that, “We are not advocates here. We are not psychiatrists. We are reporters.”  He then went on to advocate for his psychiatric diagnosis that President Trump is psychologically unfit.  The President is not allowed to criticize the media.  If CNN employees call him crazy he must remain silent.  Bernstein responded to Trump’s criticism of CNN with, “it’s not just anti-CNN. It’s anti- freedom of the press.  It’s anti-freedom of speech.”

In a normal society revealing President Trump’s techniques to his opponents would be counterproductive.  However, his opponents are so delusional that they will not believe that they have been hoodwinked by this “idiot.”  President Trump makes a concerted effort to sound less intelligent than he is.  This is an extremely valuable tool when dealing with an opponent.  His opponents might try reading a 2500 year old book by a man named Sun Tzu.  He advised, “He who exercises no forethought but makes light of his opponents is sure to be captured by them.”  However, this is dated information.  Modern media experts are too sophisticated for this.

Considering where the stock market is, how the unemployment rate has fallen, and the condition of ISIS since he was elected, perhaps we should make “idiot” a prerequisite for being president.  Yes the President is unfit.  We have the word of those people who wear those pink hats inspired by Trump's 2005 comments in the Access Hollywood audio.  Perhaps they wore these hats while they were performing their public scream.  As FOX News reported, “From helpless cries to primal screams, liberals protested the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s election by huddling together in public spaces and howling from sea to shining sea.”
