President Barack Obama says he’s being “forced out” of the Oval Office, not quitting, as he faces the end of his presidency.
If it were not for the the House forcing pro-forma sessions rather than going into Summer recess back on August 4th, and also not approving a Senate recess … to avoid recess SOCTUS appointments, things would already be much different.
We would be talking about Obama’s recess appointment of a SCOTUS Justice, his executive order canceling the elections, the SCOTUS decision that found it constitutional, and we would all be asking why the military and police were backing his coup.
So yes … Obama is being “Forced Out” … and good riddance.
Update: Here is an article from The Hill that describes the process in more detail.
After watching the media go crazy trying to perform a “take down” of Melania Trump’s RNC Speech for the two days following the speech itself, and then reading the actual text of the so-called “plagiarized” passages, it started to dawn on me that Melania’s speech and the media’s reaction was following a pattern that we’ve seen time and again before.
To think, Melania’s RNC speech was in reality simply a short unremarkable convention stump speech made by a candidates wife on the first day of the Republican convention. Generally something that hardly qualifies a “news” at all.
The media are so incurious that they don’t even wonder why such a thing is occurring. Why, if the media hadn’t told me that this was a “gaff” I would think Mr & Mrs. Trump had the whole episode planned.
At this point I DO think The Donald himself wrote the speech, because it’s too perfect of a troll to be a Democrat sabotage job. The whole thing looks like a lesson from one of his books.
Trump looks to have engineered and parlayed a short stump speech into an opportunity to get his wife’s image next to Obama’s wife in almost every paper. news site, social media and TV. He included some common turns of phrase similar to a Michelle Obama speech (which wouldn’t actually count as plagiarism) and like Pavlov and his dogs, Trump got the typical salivating media response.
The bait was set and the media pounced on it, publishing the entire text of Melania’s speech all over the place. Even with side by side comparisons to the First Lady’s speeches. The talking heads are all talking about Melania’s speech. The beauty of this is that it’s actually motivating people to read Mrs.Trump’s speech, and it’s not a half bad speech in and of itself.
We also see countless articles, tweets and comments comparing the two First Ladies themselves. Trump has always liked to compare wives. I expect a Trump comment before the end of the week along the lines of Melania looking better than Michelle, and looking better than Michelle while delivering those lines!
Trump consistently uses the media’s knee-jerk hate for him to his advantage and he has kept the media playing right into his hands for over a year.
So thats my theory. Trump wrote the speech.
Who would have given the speech a second’s thought otherwise?
The Rick Roll included within the speech was the coup de grâce.
Trump is just doing donuts in the media’s front yard at this point.
Update: Almost as if on queue … Trump tweets:
The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails.
The News media is in big trouble. You won’t read about their impending demise or hear about their financial woes in the news because, well … why would they broadcast that news? But it’s true nonetheless.
Don’t miss the excellent discussion thread over there.
Comey: “not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.”
In other words, “Suck it! There are two sets of rules, Hillary gets a pass and don’t any of you bumpkins try anything like it or we’ll throw the book at you.”
That’s what I heard.
