Been to Drudge lately? They are no longer friends of Trump. I actually saw a Townhall column a few weeks ago titled something like "What happened to Drudge?" (It may have even been "What the hell happened to Drudge?" I don't remember exactly.) It was on the Drudge Report that I found the George Will column I mentioned earlier, and there's another one tonight. However, the center headline in the big font has three different stories about General Mattis calling Trump a threat to the constitution.

Are we, at last, at the tipping point where the Republicans who were holding their noses are going to turn on Trump?
It is remarkable that it was the killing of one black man by police officers that triggered this situation. |

Unlike Esper who just tried life as a vertebrate and found that he didn't like it, some in the administration actually have a spine.
Of course, this guy was at the DOD during Obama, so he's probably a communist muslim Antifa member. |

Imagine if you worked in the White House and an aide walked into your office and said, “The President is planning to walk 1600 feet to St. John’s and he wants you to join him.” Would your response be
A) quit making jokes and get out of here, I have work to do. B) I’ve got nothing to do. I guess I’ll go with and not ask why Donald Trump is walking ... to a church ... on a day with protests all over town. . Nope, no reason to suspect this is another of the dozens of wacky ideas that will end with late-night comedians making jokes for a week. |

Putin's going to have to give Trump a bonus at this rate. Not in his wildest dreams did the Russian premier believe agent Trump could destroy America so quickly and completely.
That's the trouble with allowing vast sums of money into politics, your enemies can print it too, and even quite poor countries can make a man personally very wealthy. Agent Trump is making Agent Johnson look bad, I think... |

Trump’s expression
In “Let’s Make Love” (1960), a billionaire tells a lame joke to his board of directors and they fall over each other laughing. He tells the same joke to folks who don’t know he is a billionaire and no one smiles. I think that’s what happened with Trump’s I’m-holding-a-Bible expression. He has seen people quiver with fear when he makes that expression to employees, but if he made that expression in a bar where no one knew him, not a single person would look a him and think, “now there’s a strong person that I don’t want to mess with.” |

Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed to “Mad Dog”... ...His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone! |

I feel more and more confident that our economy is in the early stages of coming back very strong. Not everyone agrees with me, but I have little doubt. Watch for September, October, November. Next year will be one of the best ever, and look at the Stock Market NOW! |

Kayleigh McEnany @PressSec Former Secretary Mattis’ “article” is little more than a self-promotional stunt to appease the DC elite. President @realDonaldTrump is the law and order President that has restored peace to our nation’s streets. Mattis’ small words pale in comparison to @POTUS’ strong action. Under President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, there will be NO burning of churches, looting of businesses, destruction of property, and assaults on civilians and police. America will unite in LAW AND ORDER! The Rod Rosenstein hearing made it very clear that there was an illegal coup taking place that President @realDonaldTrump was able to figure out, long before anyone else. President Trump caught them in the act, attempting to overturn the will of the American People. |

Brad Parscale @parscale 64-0. That’s the record of federal candidates in primaries or special elections after they’ve been endorsed by @realDonaldTrump this cycle. Undefeated. Unprecedented. The enthusiasm is real and it is with President Trump. The White House @WhiteHouse President @realDonaldTrump "is the leader that can finally lead to the change and action so many in my community have been pleading for," Paris Dennard writes.

Who are the DC elite?
What would have happened if they had not been appeased? When he says there will be NO assaults on civilians, he’s not talking about police reform, is he? ETA If we pass a proclamation that Not only says that President Trump’s penis is the biggest, most perfect, most beautiful penis in the history of penises, but also says President Obama”s penis is the smallest, least beautiful, least perfect penis, then can we get him to stop saying, “and I figured this out long before anyone else figured it out”? |

You can't go soft on these people. The only way to handle Trump and his Republican thugs is to dominate them. Dominate them thoroughly. Dominate them whenever they stick their ugly heads out.

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Did you know:Race discrimination charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission just reached 25-year high of 35,890 Just kidding. That happened in 2010 under Barack Obama & Joe Biden. Why didn't the mainstream media blame them for "systemic" racism then? If "White Privilege" existed, why did Elizabeth Warren have to lie about being a Native American to get ahead in life? Four police officers were shot in St. Louis on Tuesday And every single rioter and looter who destroyed the city that night was just released from jail thanks to the Democrats in charge This is an outrage. Why do Democrats not care about our police officers' safety? Did you know: Over 400 violent looters arrested in New York City are set to be immediately let back out on the streets thanks to Democrat policies The left is actively working to make America LESS safe President Trump is working to secure it Remember that in November. Joe Biden—44 years in office Chuck Schumer—39 years in office Nancy Pelosi—33 years in office Maxine Waters—29 years in office Dianne Feinstein—28 years in office If America is such a "systemically racist" country ...Why haven't these Democrats done anything to fix it? |

He is just so predictable. I watched this last night on CNN, and knew Anderson Cooper was correct. Like clockwork, Trump completely reverses himself, and claims the man he used to praise was never any good. |

Don't put this on black voters. George Floyd would be just as dead under Hillary Clinton. Trump didn't kill him. He simply made everything that followed worse.
Not to speak for African Americans, but I gather they have had a rough time for quite a while - some hundreds of years. What has become apparent for the rest of us now when it comes to police violence has been apparent for them for a long time. As I believe Mumble's usually puts it: "We [they] told you so". |
