Some Questions and a Plea for the Anti-Trump Brigade

Questions:

•         Why is there alleged obstruction when President Trump says he “hopes” the Flynn investigation will end, and when Comey himself confirmed that the White House has control over the FBI, yet no obstruction claims when many presidents throughout history, including FDR, Kennedy, and even Obama have directly instructed the FBI regarding ongoing investigations?
•       Why is there alleged obstruction when President Trump tells FBI Director Comey he “hopes” for the end of an investigation but not when then President Obama instructed Comey not to call the Hillary Clinton investigation an “investigation,” when former President Clinton, Hillary’s spouse, met secretly and privately with then Attorney General Lynch and that following that meeting Comey gave a speech in which he made the unilateral decision (a decision not his to make) that there would be no indictment of Hillary and thus ended the investigation, and then continued in the same speech to state facts that would seem to support an indictment or at least further inquiry?
•          Why does this even begin to pass the “smell test”:  Comey has stated that Trump was not the subject of investigation and there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, yet, Comey, who doesn’t seem to like Trump, leaks information through his friend to the New York Times with the purpose of having a special prosecutor appointed to investigate possible collusion (of which he knew there was none per his own words), and, that special prosecutor turns out to be a close friend of Comey and Comey even discussed his most recent testimony with that special prosecutor before presenting himself before the committee and giving that testimony?
•          Why is government by executive fiat (executive order) OK when you agree with the order’s contents  or like its author (Obama), but not OK when you disagree with its contents (often to undo Obama’s overreach) or dislike its author (Trump)?

These are just four small examples from the mountain of evidence that easily establishes that there is a concerted effort to remove President Trump from office or at the very least to bring down his administration and make it powerless.  It establishes that anti-Trumpers are "focused like a laser beam" on that effort regardless of whatever claims they make to the contrary.

This sickens me.

So, dear Anti-Trumpers, let me suggest that you take a moment and breathe.  Reattach yourselves to reality, or at least to the reality of our democracy.  I am sorry that you were shocked and dismayed when Trump won the election; but, get over it!  I am sorry that:

•         You don’t understand how our electoral process works;
•         The entire country doesn’t agree with you and your positions;
•          Enough people believed that Trump was the best candidate to elect him;
•         Many would like to see Trump’s agenda implemented;
•         Those people (the one’s who disagree with you) have a right to have their voices heard;
•          You have no right to silence other voices;
•       You have no right to tell them what to believe or to force them to believe as you do;
•           The government does not exist for you and you alone.

Actually, I am not sorry about any of the above list.  What I am sorry for is that you either do not know or do not understand or do not care about how our democracy works.  I am sorry that you do not understand that things don’t always go your way and that in this country we not only listen to other voices but tolerate them as well.  I am sorry that you do not understand that everyone is not required to think as you do.  I am sorry about your lack of understanding because your failure to understand these things is destroying this country, our American form of government, and the very democracy that allows you to behave as you do.

To be clear, I am not sorry for you.  I wish you understood and I wish that you would get over your hurt that in this election you did not get your way.  You need to understand and accept that everyone does not think as you do (as evidenced by the election).  So, get over your hurt, your angst; grow up and instead of being permanently locked in some sort of childish temper fit, start acting like adults and like Americans! (and, if you are wondering how our government actually works, see many of my previous posts in this blog, read the Constitution, or get a good book on government).

This, then, is my plea to the anti-Trumpers:  STOP IT!  Grow up and act like Americans, not whiny, selfish babies. Accept that the world does not actually revolve around you.  Let the country, including the current administration, get on with the country’s business.
