Rushin’ To Destruction, 2019 In Review Part 9-- Quotes From The Front

-by Noah

1. Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

President Trump has a different leadership style and the results speak for themselves. While he spends much of his average day in scheduled meetings, events, and calls, there is time to allow for a more creative environment that has helped make him the most productive president in history.

Sarah, you are to be commended for being able to pack such a staggering amount of bullshit into such a brief statement. I note that, just a few days before, you claimed, with a straight face, that Trump was chosen by God. Charlie Manson’s girls said the same about their guy.

2. Donald Trump:

An economic miracle is taking place in the United States and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation.

Donnie, I’d like to remind you of what another crook of a president, Richard Nixon, said back in 1974 when he had put himself in a similar predicament:

I believe the time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this matter to an end. One year of Watergate is enough.

Both presidents were speaking during their State Of The Union addresses. Trump’s 2020 address promises to be a real ratings winner, complete with pardoned war criminals in the Be Best seats in the House.

3. More Donald Trump: 

Speaking of State Of The Union speechifying, here’s more President Mental Case during his 2019 “speech:”

If I had not been elected President of the Untied State, we would right now in my opinion be in a major war with North Korea.

4. $enator Tom Cotton:

Not surprisingly, the Republican $enator from Arkansas has a disgraceful defense of his idol’s tariffs and how they hurt American farmers. He sees nothing shameful about using our dead war heroes in the cause. This is one sick asshole.

There will be some sacrifice on the part of Americans, I grant you that. But also I would say that sacrifice is pretty minimal compared to the sacrifices that our soldiers make overseas, that our fallen heroes who are laid to rest in Arlington make.

Well, Tom Cotton, how about you make a sacrifice. Maybe you’d like to sacrifice some money from whatever bribes you’ve taken in this year under the guise of “campaign contributions” or otherwise. Or, maybe you could donate a couple of your limbs. C’mon, Tom, at least a kidney and a few fingers!

5. Republican Strategist Rick Tyler:

Back in March, Tyler claimed to be upset at what he’d just heard from Trump at CPAC, an annual confab of conservatives. He also claimed to be upset and even surprised about the enthusiastic reception that his boy received.

I thought of saying conservative nutjobs but, really, the word nutjobs isn’t necessary. It’s a give now whenever describing today’s conservatives. Tyler, who obviously lacks the ability or desire to be honest with himself, would like us to forget that it is conservatives who nominated Trump to head their party, nominate far right judges, push a white supremacy agenda, push the biggest tax scam of all time, etc.

It’s interesting about CPAC. It used to be the confab of conservatives who would get together once a year but it’s not CPAC anymore, it hasn’t been since 2016. It’s now Trump-pac and should be TPAC. The people there talk about pro-tariffs, anti-justice, anti-law enforcement, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, pro-Russia, pro-autocrat. It’s unrecognizable what Donald Trump has done to the party and what he’s done to the conservative movement. It’s a shame.

Let’s hear it for the sincerity of conservatives everywhere.

6. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise: 

As the meme above shows Scalise, a republican from Louisiana, is a top-level hypocrite. In July, he took exception to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley staging a July press conference to call for the impeachment of his beloved president.

We expressed our disagreements in a respectful way.

Scalise said he felt that “The Squad” was being disrespectful but he was, of course, wrong. “The Squad” was being respectful of the Constitution and the oath that they swore, something Scalise and his kind seem incapable of. Scalise’s own squad certainly wasn’t at all respectful of President Obama when they called him a liar, even during one of his State Of The Union speeches, and sent each other emails with picture of President Obama with a bone in his nose or carrying a watermelon, plus going on FOX “News” to push their birther conspriracy.

7. Donald Trump, Again:

We’re doing tremendously well. Our consumers are rich. I gave a tremendous tax cut and they’re loaded up with money.

Really? Are all those MAGA hat-wearing loons at his rallies feeling loaded up with money? Really? The saddest and most frightening thing is that they hear this from their god Trump and they cheer.

8. Stephanie Grisham, Current White House Press Secretary:

Stephanie Grisham is a one-woman insane quote machine. For whatever reasons, she doesn’t appear in public like her predecessor, but she’s at least the equal of Sarah Huckabee Sanders when it comes to “the crazy.”

I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great president.
