Republicans hate America 12: Short Man Syndrome and Violence

Trump is more Pig Napoleon

"I still remember Napoleon.  He was a General.  He was a Beast too, but a true General.  Diabolical...  Unscrupulous...  Intelligent... Being his adversary taught me everything I know.  You see my dear Prince, experience is paramount."  - 

Friedrich Graf von Wrangel, from the Danish series (1864)

 

Looking forward to the latest Napoleon biopic, this one by acclaimed director Ridley Scott a well-known Francophile, and starring Joaquin Phoenix.  The "Napoleon Complex" was always referenced vis-a-vis the short man syndrome.  I suppose it was residual British propaganda and hatred for the little Corsican leaking into American discourse, in order to downplay and minimize Napoleon's military career and out-sized influence on the 19th century.

Because Napoleon Bonaparte was an average sized man, the influence he exerted on Europe and the Americans which lasted throughout the century, caused his detractors and enemies to be in awe of him.

Trump is physically not a small man.  He's well over 6 feet tall and well over 3 bills in weight.  His domination of the American political landscape is now in its' 8th year and he'll be the Republican nominee in 2024.  Trump's accomplishments are to have gotten away with being a business failure many times over held aloft by his criminal connections with the Mob early on and then Russian gangsters in the 1990s.  The depictions of Trump as some He-Man superhero and the bizarre cult of people who make such images represents one of the scary realities of his influence, Trump isn't anything special but he makes his cult fell special, he let's them be their worst selves, he encourages their worst desires, and they love and see in him what they want themselves to be.  Trump plays this up when he artfully declares They are not after me, they're after you...

The GOP Fash project, what they desire of themselves, upon him.  What the Corporate Media, purposefully, continues to ignore is Trump Supporters don't love him despite his vile vulgar crudeness but, because of it.

"We’re Christians, and we can look past that. It doesn’t bother me,” 59 year old Lori Carpenter said of Trump’s insults and crudeness. Her relative, 71-year-old Marsha Crouthamel, agreed. 

Carpenter added, “Joe’s gotta go, and the ho shouldn’t have been there in the first place.” The “ho” was Harris, she clarified, before offering another nickname for Harris that was even more vulgar.

No one wants to admit it the stark truth for a variety of reasons mainly because it would result in the terrible acknowledgement that the Left has been right FOR FIFTY FVCKING YEARS, the Corporate Media Horserace Coverage of Politics brought us here, their non-stop fawning fact-free coverage of Trump in 2015 and 2016 and their dismissal of Democratic warnings of Republican malfeasance and perfidy were prescient.  And they want him back.  Biden's low-key leadership is boring and his behind the scenes diplomacy doesn't send a tingle up the legs the way Trump's impromptu you never know what he'll say today.  The real frightening conclusion of Trump's last 8 years is like Napoleon, everyone is in Awe of Trump and the Media want him back in power because they love what he meant for them.  

But, amongst the rest of the Republican traitors, who view crudeness, phony strength, and fake toughness above actual ability and empathy, small man syndrome is real, as they are unable to emulate his Trump's Influence.

Somehow the section on Little Boots Ron DeShrimpus  got excised, obviously the fact that DeShrimpus is at best 5’8 and a half inches tall and needs to wear lifts in his faux cowboy boots is a symptom of short man syndrome but is dangerous to We, the People because he’s going to take out his rage at being small on Us.  The good news for  Little Boots Ron is while the more you see of him the less you like, there is that much to him.

James Comer, who's leading the Hunter Biden Dick Pic circus is a man as tall as his face is wide, and happens to be "guilty" of the same family loan/payback he claims is a dastardly impeachable crime by President Biden.

In Pilates, it's called the "short box"...

MarkWayne Mullin, is a faux tough guy who loves to play the "Do you wanna go?!?!?"  game with the Teamsters Leader Sean O'Brien.  MarkWayneMullinWayne claims to be a Biter and he'll bite someone anywhere and was especially incensed when Sean O'Brien shared a picture of WayneWayneMarkWayneMullinWayne standing on a box to appear taller behind a podium. WayneWayneWayneWayneWayne then had to be reminded by Bernie Sanders he's supposedly a United States Senator as well as a phony self-made businessman.

Clay Higgins, who is such a Dirty Cop, he's been stripped of his Badge twice claimed the FBI hired "Ghost Buses", because the truth that Republican multi-millionaires Ginni Thomas (no relation to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas) and Charlie Kirk boasted of hiring and filling hundreds of buses and planes with well-to-do Insurrectionists for January 6th can't be true; like say the Burberry encrusted man-children Christian Kulas and Mark Kulas Jr of Illinois Kulas Maids was totally a set-up or Iced Earth Guitarist Jon Schaffer  

George Santos has a baby, is it his baby? Well, who knows!  Is he really "George Santos"?  Well who knows, but Republicans sure loved to vote for him and would do so again.

Republican Tommy PotatoBrain continues to keep the top military promotions open so when Republicans throw their next Coup Attempt the military will be up for grabs!  Republicans saw that the military was not going to flow to their side during the Jan6th Coup Attempt and by decapitating multiple high level commands they are at least giving themselves a fighting chance to have a few military units join their side when Trump loses in 2024.

Meanwhile, Mike Johnson watches porn with his son, has no bank account, and stands athwart the Wall of Separation of Church and State shouting Halt!  Oh and all those freedoms and liberties you people think you have?  Well, Mike Johnson has some Good News for you!  All those bad laws (like birth control and interracial marriage) will be gone when Republicans take control of the Federal Government again;

“There’s been some really bad law made. They’ve made a mess of our jurisprudence in this country for the last several decades. And maybe some of that needs to be cleaned up.”

But, despite all their worst efforts and declarations none of the Little Napoleons, the pint-sized Putins in the Republican Party can engender the vitriolic fervor Trump arouses in his Cult,

Judge Arthur Engoron and his law clerk Allison Greenfield have been inundated with death threats and antisemitic attacks after Donald Trump targeted the judge and his assistant on social media. 

According to testimony given by Greenfield to Charles Hollon, a court officer-captain in the Department of Public Safety, the clerk “has been receiving approximately 20-30 calls per day to her personal cell phone and approximately 30-50 messages per day on combined sites of social media, Linkedln and two (2) personal email addresses.” 

Trump's first disastrous administration gave him experience.  The 2024 Election is going to come down to a budding Fascist Dictator showing signs of mental derangement from syphilis and vowing to round-up and eliminate millions of people and Joe Biden who is old and does boring statecraft.  The Corporate Media and 75 millions Americans are going to do everything they can legal and illegal to make sure Trump steals back into the White House and destroys the United States of America.

14,000,000 and Going Up Conservatives love pretend

"To fuel our economic boom, we are *bowl-ding* -- (LONG ADDERALL SNIFF) -- and boldly using American energy independence." 

After indulging in one of his tells, misspeaking a word or phrase followed by a long sniff and then slowly saying the word, Trump slurred out a claim about jobs,

“I’m very proud of my daughter Ivanka. She has now created 14 million jobs and they are being trained by these great companies, the greatest companies in the world because the government cannot train them.”

The quip is to say Ivanka created 14 million jobs... in China. But Trump's entire Presidency is preposterous, unbelievable, untethered to reality.

One of the most infuriating things of the mendacious Trump Maladministration is conservatives applauding Trump's blatant lies. Of course, since Trump's non-stop barrage of absurd falsehoods, delusional exaggerations and utter bullshit angers the libs it therefore delights his MAGAt Horde.

If the Media fact-checks Trump's absurd claims his followers will simply declare it "Fake News" and then go about yelling at black people about the Greatness of Maga.

To me, Trump's vile and false claims about his Heroism on 9/11 and venal ignorance about Police work are the most insulting and outrageous lies but, there is a Trump Lie for every topic and occasion.

Trump claims this is the greatest... Trump declares that is the best ever... it's ludicrous, but effective.  Trump has succeeded in pulling the classic scam which conservatives have willingly fallen for, for 50 years.

The scam is simple; A Republican makes a grandiose claim, takes credit for something, or says he's going to do X,Y, or Z then after the news cycle has revolved a few times said Republican acts as if his claim or X, Y, Z happened. The Media in their job of legitimizing Republican Mendacity go along with it and now the mere claim is now the truth.

Trump being the consummate grifter and liar knows a classic scam when he sees one. And Republicans have been running this one on conservatives for decades. But, while at first it took crafted propaganda and the ceaseless repetition of lies via Talk Radio, email listservs and Faux News, conservatives now engage in a form of self-hypnosis to actively delude themselves via social media. Right-wingers no longer need the scam artists as they simply have learned to scam themselves.

Most of Trump's claims were for personal aggrandizement but, now facing Impeachment Trump has weaponized his claims to literally call himself "The Chosen One" and the Greatest President who Ever Was, who;

• Rebuilt the Entire Military.
• Respected by Foreign Leaders 
• Created the Greatest Economy Ever
• Farmers cried for the love of Trump
• Trade Wars are good, and easy to win
• is the Toughest on Russia and North Korea
• Released a Perfect Call Transcript
• Lowest Black Unemployment Ever
• And lie after lie after lie

The Maga Horde repeat these lies as gospel. There's no reaching a people who decide to angrily repeat lies as truth. We live in a Totally Subjective America, wherein whatever Donald Trump and Maga Need to be True, Is True. 

In reality, the military under Trump has suffered an increase of negligent training accidents, increased risk overseas from Trump bungling, and the criminal malfeasance of the Republican Party in the Niger Special Forces Ambush has never been properly investigated.

Yet crying Billionaire Leon Cooperman debased himself on CNBC when he bravely held back tears and fears of an Elizabeth Warren Presidency. Cooperman went on to repeat many of the Trump falsehoods and compared Trump to Reagan. Yet, it makes sense for Cooperman to hew himself unto Trump, as it benefits him immensely and after all he's just looking out for his own class, "I’m not afraid to stand up to the wealthy and well-connected.”

But, facts and reality no longer matter to conservatives. They love the Pretend America which Trump is giving them.

The Banana Republican Party will dissolve the US Government in order to defend Trump and maintain Power

The Crooks Brothers Riot II (Driftglass)

Trump and his cadre Republican Traitors attempted to shut down part of the Impeachment proceedings by violating SCIF regulations and laws. Because at this point, Republicans know no unlawful, illegal, or unconstitutional action they undertake will be condemned by Faux News and their actions will be applauded by the toxic rightwing internet.

Under Trump the tendency for Republicans to deny the legitimacy of a Democratically controlled Government has hyper-accelerated. It is but a matter of time before the Republicans out-right declare the US Government not controlled by them is unlawful and ipso facto defunct and they seize power in a Putsch.

Conservatives have benefited for years at the unequal applications of laws and the selective enforcement of rules. Trump himself has relied on failing upwards and not being held to account for his criminality and malfeasance. As President, Trump has sped-up the damage to foundational concepts and the Rule of Law.

We have already witnessed the Republicans declaring the US Constitution does not apply to restraining them. Trump appointed Judges have issued rulings that Trump is immune from prosecution and even investigation, including fulfilling his infamous threat of shooting someone on 5th Avenue and getting away with it. It's a short step to the Republicans declaring no Non-#MAGA official, liberal, or Democrat has any power or jurisdiction over a Republican. Ever!

Conservatives will back all illegal activities and all it will take is a drunken Matt Gaetz calling for violence and Conservatives will declare ANOTHER CIVAL WAR!

Update:
Driftglass writes up the pathos ruling the Conservative mind these days in his piece Room 101.

I know it's called the State of Israel but, it's not the 51st U.S. State (Updated)

So,  Bibi Netanyahu won re-election. I personally don't care about the internal politics of Israel but, what I do care about is the tampering with my country by Netanyahu, his Likud Party and AIPAC.

Earlier in March, the Republican Party invited Netanyahu to become President of the United States. Netanyahu's speech caused Congressional Republicans to clap so furiously they rubbed the skin off their hands.

You see, once the Republican Obsession with Vladimir Putin blew up in their faces they needed a new Strongman to fulfill their desire to be dominated by an Authoritarian.

Now while, Republicans wholeheartedly agree with killing their political opponents they needed a Dictator who didn't so brazenly murder his enemies. So, they've chosen the Leader of the Nation they actually represent, Israel, and that Israeli Leader is using the Republican Party.

"Here's what I don't understand, I don't understand how Jews in America can be Democrats first and Jewish second," Republican Congressman Steve King, like so many Right-Wingers before him, knows Judaism better than Jewish people and represents Israel over his own country.

Netanyahu is once again trying to get the U.S. to go to war in the middle east. In 2002, Netanyahu appeared before Congress and explicitly connected 9/11, Iraq and Iran and declared it wasn't a question of if Saddam Hussein's Regime should be taken out but when. He then concluded that,

If you take out Saddam’s Regime, I guarantee you, that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.

Of course, George W. Bush's Fiasco in Iraq completely destabilized the reason, created ISIL, killed a million Iraqis, destroyed thousands of Americans Lives and ruined a hundred thousand American families, while transferring over $3 Trillion dollars into the hands of the American Criminal Rich.

Now, Netanyahu is doing what Middle Eastern potentates have done for millennia. They invite a strong foreign power to take out a rival. It used to be the Roman Empire, but now America will gladly send it's military into the region.

And once again the Republican Party is setting the United States on Path to War. The 47 Traitors in the Senate all but assured the American People that as soon as the GOP steals the White House (again) the US Military will be invading Iran.

Of course, that hasn't stopped Republicans in Congress from rattling their never-sharpened ceremonial sabers at President Obama,

"We need to encourage this administration to go take out Iran’s nuclear capability. I don’t think we ought to put Israel in position of having to save both themselves and the United States. I think it’s time to bomb Iran," Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert told the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins.

The reason Republicans want an Iran War is it will be a windfall for the super rich and strengthen the political position of Right-Wingers in America and Israel. Of course, for the Americans whose name isn't Romney, who will be deployed over and over again it will cause nothing but pain, heartache, financial ruin and devastation.

Update:
I've actually gotten more and more angry at the Republican Party as this build-up to war plays out. Those feckless cowards on the right have allowed this to happen because Netanyahu saddled up to them like a porn star and worked the Republicans by in effect saying, 'Oh you're soooooo Huge', and Republicans puffed out their massive bellies, shook their flabby jowls furiously and said 'YES!' Yes we are! Now let's send someone else's kid off to war!' As they beamed with pride at being told their little pencil dicks were actually monstorous.

Representative Cynthia Lummis and the Republicans blame Obamacare for Everything

Now that the Republicans have resurrected the granny starving Paul Ryan Path to Penury and are adamant they are empowered to destroy Obamacare it time to recall the right wing health care plan:

If you were wealthy you'd be healthy 

But if you're poor and sick 

Do us a favor and die quick

Or... So I thought. But, it turns out that Obamacare is so pernicious and so evil that even Multi-Millionaires whose wives are Congressmen are being killed by it's odious grasp.

Here's the story of Congressman Cynthia Lummis via CrooksandLiars. Congressman Lummis recounted her late husband's brush with Obamacare Death Panels during the oh so important Hans 'Yippee KiYay' Gruber Investigation.

Lummis stated she and her 65 year old husband Alvin Wiederspahn were some how having problems figuring out if they were covered under Obamacare. The Late Wiederspahn was having chest pains but, decided to ignore the advice of his physicians and decline the tests they recommended because Fuck Obamacare! Well the chest pains the late gentleman was experiencing for months turned out to be a warning sign of Myocardial Infarction, which sadly took the man's life.

"My husband was having chest pains at the time that he was told we were not enrolled in Obamacare, and come to find out, he didn't have all of the tests that he was advised by his physician to have. So on October 24, a week before the election, my husband went to sleep and never woke up."

So what's the take away? Don't ignore warning signs of a potential serious condition? Take better care of yourself and your heart health? Always take your doctor's advice and undergo every test?

Nope, the morale of super rich Congressman Lummis' story is her previous Free Government Healthcare was better for her and her husband and then That Man came into the White House and Ruined Everything!

It's actually unbelievable that Lummis and Wiederspahn didn't undergo the tests knowing that in reality any bills and procedures would be covered when the minor admin snafus were worked out.

But, Republicans don't ever take any personal responsibility. And they most assuredly don't take any responsibility for fucking up Government Bureaucracy. Republicans believe Government doesn't work and once elected they sabotage whatever they can in order to make that belief come true. It's actually their core mission statement once they're elected.

But, in the epistemically closed Right-Wing Internet Fart Bubble this is massive proof of the Obamacare Death Panels.

Benghazi is a distraction from Iraq which is a distraction from Benghazi which is a distraction from...

Yesterday, President Obama announced that the Ringleader of the Benghazi attacks Ahmed Abu Khatallah has been captured. Here is President Obama's written statement;

The United States has an unwavering commitment to bring to justice those responsible for harming Americans. Since the deadly attacks on our facilities in Benghazi, I have made it a priority to find and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four brave Americans. I recently authorized an operation in Libya to detain an individual charged for his role in these attacks, Ahmed Abu Khatallah. The fact that he is now in U.S. custody is a testament to the painstaking efforts of our military, law enforcement, and intelligence personnel. Because of their courage and professionalism, this individual will now face the full weight of the American justice system.

Even as we welcome the success of this operation, we also pause to remember the four Americans who gave their lives in Benghazi representing their country: Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. As I said shortly after the attack, they exemplified the values that we stand for as a nation, including a commitment to freedom and justice. All Americans should be grateful for their service, just as we are grateful to all our personnel – civilian and military – who represent our country around the globe. We will continue to honor our fallen by carrying on their efforts in support of the Libyan people’s aspirations to live in a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic society.

With this operation, the United States has once again demonstrated that we will do whatever it takes to see that justice is done when people harm Americans. We will continue our efforts to bring to justice those who were responsible for the Benghazi attacks. We will remain vigilant against all acts of terrorism, and we will continue to prioritize the protection of our service-members and civilians overseas. We will also sustain our support for the Libyan people, as they work to overcome years of tyranny and do the difficult work of building a democracy.

Once again the President has shown himself to be a great man amongst the vile villains and despicable dilettantes who circle around the cesspool of Washington DC.

Of course, Faux News wasted no time in proclaiming this a distraction or conspiracy. Right-Wingers and Republicans sputtered, pouted, bitched and moaned about the declaration from President Obama.

Being shameless disgusting enemies of America, the Republicans found the actions by the Department of Justice, FBI and Special Forces too convenient, the timing too perfect.

Of course, what they are complaining about is the destruction of their Fake Scandals. Ahmed Abu Khatallah, has stated the attack was in response to the stupidly inflammatory Innocence of Muslims youtube video, as was believed by the CIA at the time and stated by the vilified Susan Rice.

His capture and that statement alone have deflated over a year and a half's worth of lying demagoguery. As the Republicans and conservatives have been building a grand narrative upon the bodies of the 4 dead in Benghazi. Fours Americans whose names they can never remember but, upon whose corpses thousands of right-wingers have constructed an edifice of lies and innuendo, which they fervently hoped and prayed would lead to Impeachment.

Now, Republicans are reduced to pathetic mewling curs, sending out tantrum tweets. Waaaah! The Republicans tweeted! Waaaah! We still have a wholly bullshit Trey Gowdy led Benghazi Panel working! Waaaah! This arrest will undermine all the undermining of the President we've done! Waaaaaah!

Many years ago the mewling punk ass bitch Republicans embarked on a quest to blame all their evil actions upon President Obama. They wanted the Presidency back in order to continue their Agenda to impoverish Americans and Subjugate the Nation to the Will of the Plutocracy

Now, matter what the question or incident, Conservatives would declare it a scandal and throw a tantrum. Republicans and Conservatives believed that if they flung enough shit and shut down the government enough times, everyday Americans who are working harder and longer to try an reach the American Dream and don't have time to uncover all the Right-Wing lies and bullshit, would just throw up their hands and let the Republicans have the Presidency as happened in 2000.

Fortunately, unlike in 2000 when Republicans were allowed to steal the Presidency, and the Nation and entire world were cursed with the evil ineptitude of the George W(orst President Ever) Regime, which resulted in thousands of Americans dead and wounded in the worst attack on American soil in the Nation's History, thousands of Americans dead and tens of thousands wounded in Iraq, $5 Trillion dollars of tax payer dollars wasted and stolen, and the impoverishment of millions of Americans at home during the Republican Recession and Bush housing bubble.

Thankfully a man of honor, Barack Obama, is in the White House now and the Nation's enemies both foreign and domestic hate him.

Update:
Enemy of America, and a man who has done more damage to the United States save for Tojo or Robert E. Lee, Dick-Less Cheney is back trying to pin the blame for his epic failures in Iraq and the United States. I'll link to the BradBlog who has excerpts fro Cheney's Wall Street Journal fact-free missive.

Because, Benghazi...

As Republicans fake scandals fall apart, they have again retreated to the incident which they believe serves their despicable campaign the best.

That is, the 09/11/12 attacks in Benghazi, Libya and the deaths of 4 Americans. Ask a right-winger to tell you the names of the 4 Americans* they care SO much about and you'll have to wait a minute or two while he googles them.

The Benghazi Building (remember it wasn't an "Embassy") was a tip of the spear CIA Operation building.

The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to officials briefed on the intelligence. Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said.

However, make no mistake the Impeachment Proceedings are near. Because the Right-Wing has Benghazi Fever (h/t David Corn of Mother Jones). It's a condition brought about by the unceasing lying by Republicans and contact with the feces flung by conservatives who are full of shit.

For context here's a typical case of Benghazi Fever;

So Marines in Benghazi like Bobbies in London. Very leading-from-behindish. John Podhoretz. 

The Marines at the Benghazi "Embassy" had no ammo!!! Except... There were no Marines in Benghazi. Then the Marines at the Cairo Embassy were ordered by Hillary Clinton and President Obama to stand guard with no ammo! Just another right-wing lie,

The Ambassador did not impose restrictions on weapons or weapons status on the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group (MCESG) detachment.  The MCESG Marines in Cairo were allowed to have live ammunition in their weapons.  The Ambassador and Regional Security Officer have been completely and appropriately engaged with the security situation. Reports of Marines not being able to have their weapons loaded per direction from the Ambassador are not accurate.

Respectfully,
Alex Cross, Major USMC
Deputy Director, Marine Liaison Office

For the last year and a half we've been exposed to the Benghazi Fever. Newt Gingrich, who hasn't held office in over a decade, and an expert who has zero experience with the military often mentioned the "rumors I've heard".

In 2013, it was revealed the Republicans and Darrell Issa had been releasing altered and crafted quotes from the emails they had received from the White House. They've gone back to that well again this year.

A new email originating from Ben Rhodes, a deputy security advisor, has the shit flinging conservatives and lying Republicans re-lathered.

Congressman Darrell "An Act of Terror is different than a Terrorist Attack" Issa has convened new hearings and plans more and now Speaker of the House John Boehner has declared a Select House Committee will be convened to Investigate.

Here's what the Rhodes email from September 14, 2012 concludes,

The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the [anti-video] protests at the US Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the US Consulate and subsequently its annex.

Wait... Ignore that part! The email isn't actually about Benghazi per se but, a about the larger picture of protests across the Middle East and Arab world in September 2012. So of course, the email doesn't hold the evidence the sick and despicable victims of Benghazi Fever contends it does but, that won't stop shit smearing conservatives.

John Podhoretz, Dan Riehl, Jim Hoft, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Erick Erickson, Dana Loesch, Rich Lowry, Glenn Reynolds, Matt Drudge, Jay Severin III, Pamela Geller and thousands of other conservatives on-line infected with Benghazi Fever will continue to weave a web of lies which they will tweet, blog, and scream about and then Faux News will pick up the shit conservatives are excreting and smear it everywhere. The Republican Party, which is in bed with Fox, will have no choice but to get covered in the same shit and Benghazi Fever will spread even further.

In 2012, a smirking Mitt Romney convened a Press Conference to gleefully announce Americans had been killed he and the right-wing thought they could build a Romney Presidency on the corpses of *Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods.

Since that failed, the sick and twisted people infected with Benghazi Fever have decided they could use it at least to hinder President Obama's second term while they spend four years smearing Hillary Clinton before the next Presidential Election. Benghazi Fever is so powerful, even the parents intercession pleading with Right-Wingers to not politicize their children's deaths went unheeded. 

Conservatives will never let a Democratic President serve without trying to undo the will of the American Electorate. Of course, unlike the High Crimes and Misdemeanors Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W(orst President Ever) Bush engaged in, conservatives engage in out-right lying in order to smear President Obama, President Clinton and President Carter. 

Much like, the way Republicans have usurped and misused the Filibuster, Impeachment is going to be another parliamentary trick Republicans invoke to attack the Democratic Party in service to their Plutocratic Masters and to appease their rabid supporters.

It's sick. It's shameless. It's never going to stop. Because, Benghazi...

Republicans 2014 Campaign Slogan: Back to Iraq!

As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice. - Supreme Chicken Hawk Jonah Goldberg

Neoconservative chicken hawk Republicans are running their standard Blame Barack Campaign for the recent violence in Iraq.

Despite the fact that George W(orst President Ever) Bush won Victory in Iraq on 11/22/2008, 

We won. The Iraq War is over. 

I declare November 22, 2008 to be "Victory in Iraq Day." (Hereafter known as "VI Day.") - as declared by Zomblog, Zombietime,

and echoed by Flopping Aces and hundreds of other conservative epistemically closed fart bubble blogs, Violence in Iraq, which never actually stopped, is again on the Rise with the latest media reports declaring extremists have captured Fallujah from the so-called Iraqi Army.

Iraq was never about Peace, the Reverse-Domino-Theory, (basically that standing up a domino of Democracy in Iraq would magically stand up dominos of Democracy in other Middle East Nations) propagated by lead from the rear War Proponents was a thin veneer to cover their true goals which was a plan to steal Trillions of Dollars from the US taxpayers while also opening up Iraqs Oil Reserves for theft by Anglo-American Oil Conglomerates.

So, now what? Flabby-assed Republicans will try and run the 'Liberals are bad at war while Republicans are macho he-men'. 

While Bloody Bill Kristol, Just Six More Months Thomas Friedman, Charles Krauthammer, Jason Mattera, Ben Ferguson, Matthew Continetti, Chris Vucovich or the College Republican Chicken Hawks never saw a War that they didn't want some other American to fight. Including a Return to Iraq...

Obama Shook hands and Bowed to Castro

The politics of the Ultra-Reactionary Right demand that whenever a Real American is in a position to   belittle someone they engage in the Politics of Confrontation.

During the Memorial Service for Nelson Mandela, President Obama shook hands with Cuba's President Raul 'Not Fidel' Castro. Senator Marco Rubio took time away from doing nothing in Congress, to complain to ABC News, 

"If he was going to shake his hand, he should have asked him about those basic freedoms Mandela was associated with that are denied in Cuba." 

Ah, but in the epistemic closure of the Right-Wing Fart Bubble this wasn't just a handshake but a Bow.

It’s not just a handshake, notice the tip of the head and bend of the back, it’s a bow. Notice also Castro did not bow back.

In sports parlance this is Meatball Fandom. Chicago Bears football games are not only difficult to attend because of the bitter cold (The MNF game against the Cowboys which the Bears won 45-28 had a wind chill of -10) but because of the many doofuses in the stands whose pinnacle of critique is, 'Team X Sucks!'

And that is exactly what Right-Wingers are doing, their politics of confrontation amount to nothing more than 'Obama Sucks!!!'

There have numerous examples, all the way from highly elected officials to the derpest of derp right-wing blogs.

During a Joint Session of Congress in September 2010, Republican Representative Joe Wilson yelled, "YOU LIE!!!"

During the 2010 State of the Union, Right-Wing SC Justice Sam Alito visibly shook his head and mouthed the words, "Not True..."

In June 2012 during a speech at the Rosegarden, Entitled White conservative Neil Munro of The Daily Caller interrupted President Obama shouting, "Why do you favor foreigners over Americans?"

And Right-Wingers and Republicans don't reserve their massive disrespect just for the President. If you disagree with them prepare to be yelled at.

Pete Sessions, that disgusting chicken hawk, yelled at an American during the Republican Government Shutdown that Republicans would never surrender because, "Look. We're Not French. We don't surrender."

Randy Neugebauer yelled at a Park Ranger and blamed her for the Republican Government Shutdown, and when she told him it wasn't her fault, Randy put that woman in her place,

Randy Neugebauer: "The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves."

Park Ranger: "I’m NOT ashamed."

Randy Neugebauer: "You should be."

'Obama Sucks!' Derp derp derp. That's what the Right-Wing Meatballs have offered as a counter to the policies of President Obama. When combined with the Do-Nothing Republican Representatives and Senators the country has continued towards the Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave State the 1% desire.

The Iran Deal; Another Diplomatic Victory by President Obama

America was treated to another masterful job of World Stage Diplomacy by President Obama when the President reached a deal that will halt the enrichment of uranium and force Iran to accept inspectors on the ground to verify compliance, all in exchange for relaxing some of the economic sanctions against the Iranian Government.

It's still early in the agreement but for the first time in decades the United States along with Russia, UK, France, China, Germany, has engaged the Iranian Government through diplomatic channels.

“While today's announcement is just a first step, it achieves a great deal,” US President Barack Obama said in a statement at the White House. “For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and key parts of the program will be rolled back.”

And one can always tell a brilliant diplomatic stroke by the way Republican Howler Monkeys react. Right-Wingers have No Concept of Diplomacy, Republicans engaged in their standard gnashing of teeth, beating of their man-boobs, and tweeting about Obamacare.

Sigh. It's difficult enough living in a country with an ardent core of Ultra-Reactionary fanatics who are bent on turning this Nation into a Corporate Bondage Wage Slave Hellhole but, to have chicken hawk morons comprise a significant part of our government whose idea of Diplomacy is Shock & Awe (as long as someone else's children do the fighting) or derp-proclamations that, "We're not French."

Combining this with the successful intervention in Libya, which prevented a bloody civil war and lead directly to the ousting and death of Muammar Gaddafi and the Chemical Weapons deal President Obama and John Kerry masterfully executed with Russia and Syria and President Obama has succeeded in advancing US interests in 3 powder keg Middle East Nations with only the Tragic loss of life at Benghazi.

Yet, when compared to the MASSIVE* failures of Ronald Reagan, the mentally-addled, terrorist-loving, cut-and-run Chickenhawk, tax-raising, war criminal, tool of the Plutocrats, destroyer of the Social Safety Net, quisling of the Rich in their conquest of America, and George W(orst President Ever) Bush what do Republicans do in response to President Obama's masterful diplomatic coups? Threaten Impeachment.

*- On April 18, 1983 the Beirut Embassy Car Bombing killed 17 Embassy personnel (and 46 Lebanese) and the follow on Truck Bombing attack 6 months later on October 23, 1983 at the US Barracks in Beirut killed 241 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors. Ah, but Saint Reagan was President. The most despicable thing is the attacks followed the same tactics because the Terrorists knew the Embassy Marine Guards were barred by Ronald Reagan from having ammo at their posts.

Two Terrorist Attacks separated by 6 months using the same tactics which resulted in hundreds of Americans killed.

Welcome to Capitalism, America.

Capitalism is impoverishing and despoiling America.

The increasing unemployment. The transformation of the United States from a manufacturing powerhouse to a service-based industry. The creation of a economy built on the hedge-fund gambling, legerdemain and chicanery of Banking Institutions. The destruction of the Appalachian mountains for strip mining, the wholesale dumping of thousands of tons of petcoke in poor Chicago and Detroit neighborhoods are the end product of Capitalism.

For years Americans enjoyed the "benefits" of Capitalism as wage slaves in third world nations made products and corrupt banana republics gleefully exported their natural resources for Corporate exploitation.

But, while Labor Unions were shedding their blood and generations of Americans fought for better working conditions benefits and pay here at home, Capitalists were fighting back.

Prior to the modern age, Capitalists employed two basic weapons, illegal immigration and off-shoring of jobs. The Rich are fully in support of illegal immigration because it imports workers who are willing to do jobs here in the United States for lower pay, no benefits and if something happens to them those workers have little recourse or legal options.

But, Capitalists have also fought for years to break down barriers across Nation-States to make capital liquid, because once capital can flow freely then labor can be completely undercut.

NAFTA, CAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership are efforts by the 1% to be able to move their capital quickly and without restraint and to "create jobs" where costs are the cheapest. The 'Job Creators' touted by Republicans have no connection to the United States and see no difference between a Mexican worker, an Indonesian worker or an American. To the Job Creators whomever they can pay the lowest pay up to and including outright slavery is the "best".

Those manufacturing jobs currently in China and various third-world wage slave dictatorships are not coming back to the US. Until the day when US labor costs less than that overseas, worker protections are eliminated and anti-pollution regulations are stricken from law by Republican operatives.

What Libertarians and free-marketers don't understand and can't believe is one day they will be treated by Capitalism, the way Capitalism has treated the rest of the world.

And that is Capitalism; it's the impoverishment and enslaving of 99% of the world to enrich 1%.

Republican Wimps cry and complain President Obama is being mean to Them

If anything the President has been entirely too cordial.

President Obama has now met with both the House and Senate Republicans about hammering out a solution prior to Default on October 17th. Eric Cantor described the House Republicans conference as “a very useful meeting.”

Oh shit...

Whenever Eric Cantor describes something as "very useful" hold on to your 401(k) because it means 99% of Americans are about to get screwed.

Of course, the ironically hilarious useful meetings and declaration by Republican Pete Sessions that, "We’re all working together now, "comes after days of Republicans blubbering that President Obama was being sooooo mean to them.

The Republicans are the biggest group of fake tough guys ever assembled. Right-Wingers learned during and after Vietnam to talk tough and walk tall from the safety of their plush air-conditioned security-laden DC playground far away from any dangerous battleground.

During World War IV (i.e the Global War on Terror), Generation Chickenhawk eschewed military service to fight the Islamo-Fascists and instead manned the keyboards of a thousand computer battling on the home front.

During the Iraq War, which Conservatives declared won on 11/22/08 to give George W(orst President Ever) military laurels, Right-Wingers continually and counter-factually attacked Liberals as weak on terror and anti-american when we questioned Bush's Blunders and Cheney's Bravado.

Iraq was primarily one of the reasons for President Obama victory in 2008.

Now, Barack Obama has handily won two Presidential elections yet he's been subjected to the most disgusting campaign of deliberate disrespect from elected Republicans. After 5 years of being the most moronic, uncouth, loutish, boorish insults of the President and his wife, the opaque and blatant threatening of his life and the safety of his children the Republicans are blubbering to every news host about how mean Barack Obama is being.

“It’s obvious any time he goes on TV,” Representative Austin Scott said. “I mean, words he uses to describe Congress, the tone of his voice, what he says, how he says it.”

Waaaaaah! Oh America the President's tone is so rude! 

What a joke. What a bunch of mewling babies. After the ignorant Joe Wilson shouted "You Lie!" during the State of the Union, Obama didn't break stride let alone breakdown like these Republican Wimps.

But, beyond that I've never seen a group of wimpish turds, like the Republicans, able to speak out of both sides of their mouths so effectively as they do about President Obama.

No matter the issue, President Obama is both a stone-cold Thug practicing Chicago-Style politics and a weak, ineffective leader weakening America at home and abroad.

They've done the same with the Shutdown, simultaneously telling their crazy Tea Party fanatics They Shutdown the Government, while slinking off to CNN and MSNBC to bemoan President Obama's and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's Shutdown of the Government.

It's Hard to be A Republican Plutocrat on just $172,000* a year

"If inequality is at a much higher level - who cares?" ~ Brit Hume, Faux News

Phil Gingrey of Georgia recently complained he was "stuck" in Washington DC making only $172,000 a year. This follows Sean Duffy of Wisconsin complaining in 2011 that he was struggling on his congressional salary. And it's understandable because the people they are carousing with are the type who have no problem dropping $700 on two bottles of Pinot Noir as Hedge Fund Vulture Clifford S. Asness and Deficit Svengoolie Paul Ryan did on their wine date a few years back.

In 2009, Gingrey misused $400 dollars of campaign monies to renew his Georgia medical license. While it's a small amount it's a fee which a regular taxpayer couldn't just expect to be covered by somebody else. Also it was shown that for his 2010 re-election campaign Gingrey raised $1,400,000 dollars and his re-election campaign paid thousands of dollars for expenses incurred by Gingrey.

Prior to 2010, Gingrey had a leased Chevy Tahoe at $768 a month, he turned that in when the lease ran out for a Honda CRV at $462 a month. Now this is paid by US Taxpayers of course so that's an expense that regular Americans pay that Gingrey doesn't.

Additionally, it was uncovered that Congress and their staff received over $2,000,000 dollars worth of Coffee and Pastries paid by the Taxpayer in 2012.

Gingrey has been in Congress since 2003, like all Federal Employees post 1984 he is enrolled into FERS. So a whole 1.3% goes to his pension, which he became invested in after 5 years.

Now Georgia is a Right-to-Work State, which means (from the Secretary of State website),

an employer can terminate an employee for good cause, bad cause or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause. 

Georgia Manufacturing is proud that their statewide Unionization was 3.4% as of 2010. So, while Gingrey has a Pension and benefits his constituents could be fired for merely complaining about their salary and the vast majority enjoy the privilege of Right-to-Work-for-Less.

Gingrey has brought non-Union Foreign owned Car Manufacturers into Georgia and gave them US Taxpayer dollars to undercut our Domestic brands as well as undercut Union labor at home. What a two-fer for the Plutocracy! Kia Motors got $324 million of Taxpayer welfare to open their 3000 worker Georgia plant in 2006.

Now, Gingrey isn't a special Republican as he represents a poor state as the median income for Georgia is $49,736 but Phil ensures that while he cuts benefits and rights for the Working Class people of his district he "works" very hard in DC to make sure the Super Rich Plutocrats with whom he hob-nobs are taken care of.

So, there's the Hard Work that Phil Gingrey has been "stuck" doing in Washington DC for his measly $174,000 a year.

Republicans Fighting All Americans

Republicans have a message for America; Their Government will not help you.

Across the Nation from school boards, in the Governor's Mansions to Congress, Republicans are tiresly working to ensure Working Class people have No Friend in Government.

And it's not just their "principled" stand against the Affordable Care Act, wherein Republican Congressmen have refused to help their constituents with taking advantage of the Law.

From mandating Transvaginal Ultrasound Wand Raping of Women against their consent, to taking away the Voting Franchise from University Students and African-Americans, to undercutting Unions, to dismantling Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment and the ACA, while voting to eliminate the Clean Air and Water Act and any other regulation which stops Corporations from despoiling the Air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we live upon all the while accepting gratis and kickbacks from the Plutocratic 1%,  Republicans and Pro-Business Democrats are using the Power of Government for Oppression and Domination.

This is, of course, nothing new. The Government was not set up for the People but for a small cadre of elites. Many of the Founding Fathers loathed the idea of Democracy, equating it with anarchy and mob rule, and even those disposed to empower the common man, crafted a system which excluded the majority of Americans from the political process and its' benefits. The 20th Century saw a change as the Federal Government set up protections and came to the aid of the Working Class.

This was seen as a major revocation of trust by the Plutocracy, which, traditionally need not have worried about whom was elected because the Politician was known to be in the pocket of Rich.

Republican State Representatives, Governors, Congressmen and Senators are proudly proclaiming they are working against the Democratic Republic and for the interests, welfare and benefits of the Very Few.

America, this is Fascism. This is the Modern GOP; This is the Conservative Right today; Guard Dogs and Handmaidens to the Plutocracy.

And it's designs and goals are easy to understand. The 1% want an American Populace ready to accept whatever the 1% deem them worthy of. They want you so fearful of losing your job, that you're willing to accept pay cuts, elimination of benefits, longer work days for no overtime.

Because once you're fearful and once Republicans have convinced you they won't help then the American people will know they have nowhere to turn and no one fighting for them, you'll be complainant to the Plutocratic Owners of America and you'll help the 1% grind down the Middle and Working Class to abject Poverty and subservient Penury.

Darrell Issa specifically directed Treasury Inspector General to ignore IRS targeting of Progressive Groups (More Lies from the Right-Wing Fart Bubble)

Republican Darrell Issa as the House Oversight Committee Chairman gave explicit instructions to the Inspector General in his IRS witch-hunt, "to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations." The truth is the IRS investigated Liberal and Progressive Groups, while screening for words like "Occupy" or "Progressive".

However, recall Darrell Issa has previously stated, "this was a problem coordinated in all likelihood right out of Washington headquarters and we’re getting to proving it,” and "in fact the indication is they were directly being ordered from Washington."

So, Issa told the IG J. Russell George, a George W. Bush appointee, to manufacture evidence and after receiving testimonies from IRS officials, Issa selectively edited and released partial transcripts in a blatant attempt to create the impression that Conservative groups were specifically and singularly targeted by the IRS because of their political leanings.

So, we have Republicans telling a Republican appointee to craft a false report and then Republicans releasing out-of-context quotes. Once again we have Republican Bullshit and Right-Wing Lies designed to cause outrage in the Right-Wing Fart Bubble to be used towards Impeaching President Obama.

There are several crimes and multiple levels of deceit going on here. The immediate crime is that Darrell Issa explicitly ordered exculpatory evidence be ignored. Hiding or ignoring Exculpatory evidence is a serious offense.

If it be proved that a States Attorney's or Police Officer destroys or ignores evidence which may serve to exonerate a defendant he's going to jail. So Speaker John Boehner "Who's going to jail for this?"

Which of the Republicans who deliberately mislead the American People and released falsified evidence is going to jail?

But, beyond these crimes of House Republicans, in a mid-range tactical sense the IRS has been weakened in going after Tax Cheating Organizations which improperly use 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) designations to engage in Partisan Politics.

But, the long term strategic deceit is the Republicans shifting of the country's Tax Burden onto the Middle Class.

Republicans (and Pro-Business Democrats) are doing this for several reasons. By shifting the burden the Middle Class is slowly being ground into dust and eliminated. Currently, Middle Class voters are too unpredictable. But by grinding the Middle Class down to just above poverty and then blaming it on Illegal Immigrants and King Crab Eating Minorities Republicans seek to torture Americans into becoming conservative.

Darrell Issa and Republicans have no problem sticking the U.S. Taxpayer with a $2,000,000 yearly bill for their morning coffee.

But the overarching goal is to accelerate Income Inequality in this Country wherein there is no Middle Class anymore but only the Ultra-Wealthy, Ultra-Powerful 1% who rule this country as a Neo-Feudalist State of Corporate Lords and Wage Slaves.

Only White Male Conservatives have Constitutional Rights

"But you don't need to plead the fifth if you've done nothing wrong," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. 

"The reason Lois Lerner tried to take the Fifth [Amendment], it’s because this was a problem coordinated in all likelihood right out of Washington headquarters and we’re getting to proving it,” Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa. The Guilt of the Accused is already assumed.

Unless you are a White Male Conservative the Bill of Rights does not apply.

"It is the First Amendment, then there is the Second and I love ‘em both. The minute we start stifling our speech, we might as well go home, roll up our sleeves and get our guns out," Maine Governor Paul LePage told reporters, as quoted by the Portland Press Herald, LePage of course must resort to Violence because he seized power in Maine despite losing the Vote 62% to 38%. 

Get used to it Leftists. The Right is this country won't be satisfied until: The Only Ones with Rights are the Right Americans. (TM)

Having a (D) after your name will be prima facie evidence of High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Being a Liberal will mean you are Guilty before your futile attempt to Prove your Innocence.

Brit Hume, who as a paid Faux News Stooge, fully supported the Bush Regime in stifling Reporters was aghast that Faux News Criminal James Rosen was investigated for leaking classified information. 

Hume is outraged a white male conservative is being held responsible for his crimes!!! How dare the Justice Department go after Faux News Stooge Rosen for leaking classified information! The Right has all the Rights whereas daring to espouse Progressive Views or self-identifying as a Progressive Media Member is an invitation to a Right & Proper beating, as when Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow! was beaten and arrested for daring to not genuflect before the White Male Conservatives at the St. Paul Minnesota 2008 RNC. 

Of course, Conservatives soiled their pants with glee when the Occupy Movement was violently rousted out in multiple cities denying them their 1st and 4th Amendment Rights because they were espousing anti-Corporate rhetoric and white male conservatives bow before their Neo-Feudal Corporate Lords.

Faux News Stooge Steven Chrowder was paid by Roger Ailes to start fights with Union Members in Michigan in an attempt to smear working men and women trying to save their pensions and retirement benefits.

James O'Keefe manufactured a fake scandal based on lies and false video recordings to shut down ACORN for the crime of aiding Poor People and Minorities.

The recently deceased Senator Frank Lautenberg was smeared by Andrew Deadbart who shamelessly distorted the audio portion of a news conference given by Lautenberg.

When the IRS dared to investigate the TEA Party Crooks illegally using 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) tax exempt status to hide the names of donors contributed Hundreds of Millions, the Right exploded in Fury; They know the IRS is only supposed to be used to shut down Liberal Organizations, like the ACLU, the NAACP, Greenpeace, and the All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena California.

The IRS scandal is really that Karl Rove and other Conservative Political Action Committees filed for Tax Exempt status knowing full well they were involved in Partisan politics which explicitly excludes them from gaining Tax Exempt status. So, please conservatives keep bringing up the IRS "targeting" of Tea Party Groups, hopefully the IRS will reopen their cases and fine them appropriately.

But, we know that won't happen because Darrell Issa and the Republicans know the IRS agents at the heart of this matter were Republican appointees and the IRS and all Government Power is rightfully only used to destroy and intimidate Liberals.

So, just get used to it Liberal America. The only Rights you have are those the Right allows you to have and those are none.

Surprise! Republicans crafted fake Benghazi emails to mislead the American people.

"An Act of Terror is different than a Terrorist Attack," Darrell Issa a Car Thief is not different than a Congressman.

So, the Republicans lied. Republicans released altered and false "quotes" from the White House/CIA/State Department emails concerning Benghazi to the Media.

What did the Republicans gain in purposefully misleading the American people? They gained exactly what they wanted. By releasing their lie-laden chum to the gullible Media the Republicans succeeded in getting their duped and battered followers into an Impeachment Fury and the DC Media into faux scandal frenzy.

Lying Republicans have been smearing President Obama for years now. One of core Right-Wing beliefs is that President Obama isn't really an American and he sides with terrorists.

After the initial murders in Libya, the Republicans sought to use the bodies of the dead to advance their party. Republicans place Party over the American People every time.

With Benghazi, Republicans believed they had just enough to tease out that belief in the country. Because Benghazi is the Biggest Scandal in American History:

 "I believe that it's a lot bigger than Watergate, and if you link Watergate and Iran-Contra together and multiply it times maybe ten or so, you're going to get in the zone where Benghazi is," Conrgessman Steve King 

Benghazi "is going to go down as the most serious, most egregious coverup in American History. We may be starting to use the I-word before too long," Senator James Inhofe 

"I watched the Benghazi thing with great interest, Sean. I think it’s one of the worst incidences, frankly, that I can recall in my career," Former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The Republicans thought they had it. Benghazi would be the October Surprise. But, it didn't work. To their frustration their hatred of President Obama didn't blossom and Barack easily won re-election.

First off, the consulate was a CIA Base conducting dangerous field activity. Republican Congressman Lincoln Chafetz began the Republican crimes by outing the CIA and exposing covert assets, field agents and Intelligent techniques.

Next, came all the keyboard commando chicken hawk conservative Military Ops; 'We should have flown some F-16's overhead to scare them. Or sent an AC-130 to light'em up. Or sent in the SEALS or Marines (to the shores of Tripoli) to take out the extremists, errr I mean terrorists.'

Well, Robert M. Gates former Defense Secretary to both George W. Bush and President Obama called out the right-wing morons and these scenarios as a "Cartoonish impression of military capabilities and military forces." And Gates laid out why:

“Well, given the number of surface to air missiles that have disappeared from Gaddafi’s arsenals, I would not have approved sending an aircraft, a single aircraft – over Benghazi under those circumstances. [T]o send some small number of Special Forces or other troops in without knowing what the environment is, without knowing what the threat is, without having any intelligence in terms of what is actually going on on the ground, I think, would have been very dangerous."

But, why was the Media talking about Benghazi again after Faux News had spent countless hours of programming and after multiple Congressional Hearings?

The phony scandal had floundered Republicans decided the next step was too take matters into their own hands by lying. If the evidence doesn't fit just make it up; Republican Mantra.

Which Republicans knowingly doctored these emails? What Republican released these doctored emails to the Media? What did the Republicans receive in compensation? Which Republicans knew the emails released were phony and full of lies?

What's clear is Republicans long ago convicted President Obama for certain unforgivable sins and when one is convinced of guilt it's very easy to manufacture "evidence" to bolster your conclusions.

So Speaker John Boehner "Who's going to jail for this?" Which of the Republicans who deliberately mislead the American People and released falsified evidence is going to jail?
