[TownHall] From the moment Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election, a plan was hatched to blame Russia for her historically epic loss and use it to hamstring Donald Trump’s presidency.

Always a hive-mind, Democrats in and out of the media could be counted on to do their parts, and they’ve done just that. But what started out as a few near-riot protests to keep their base angry has morphed into a slow-rolling coup.

The book "Shattered" documented how the Clinton campaign was not interested in an autopsy, it had a plan:

That strategy had been set within twenty-four hours of her concession speech. Mook and Podesta assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.

From that, the idea that horrified Democrats during the campaign ‐ that one of the participants would refuse to accept the election results ‐ became an accepted, forgotten fact and the first salvo in what would become a sustained war against the duly-elected president.

Since that meeting, the media dutifully has gone over and above its duty to the cause. After eight years of slumber, print and cable news "journalists" became "woke" to the cause and blew past reporting to a level of propaganda activism that would make Leni Riefenstahl tell them to pump the brakes.

There has been enough embarrassment to go around, but none have beclowned themselves more than CNN’s Jim Acosta. He spent a month whining about not having the cameras on in the press briefing room to capture his antics and add to his sizzle reel so he could get his own show. Then, he showed himself to be the Forrest Gump of the press pool when he equated a poem written to raise money to build the base of the Statue of Liberty with actual law. He then proceeded to congratulate himself, repeatedly, for his performance.

But the media isn’t just a clown show of correspondents fumbling basic facts and shunning logic in its progressive pursuit of a new Nixon. It’s the PR wing of the Democratic Party’s "resistance." No story is too absurd, no leak too damaging to the nation’s security not to publish. After years of repeating Obama administration spoon-fed talking points, they media now gleefully reports anything that might damage the Trump administration for that sake alone.

The Washington Post published complete transcripts of President Trump’s phone conversations with the president of Mexico and the prime minister of Australia. There was no news value in them; they simply took out portions to present out-of-context to embarrass the president. That was enough for the Post to stop its presses, but it is a decision that will do real damage to the presidency and the country.

President Trump is hugely popular overseas. These leaked transcripts appear to be an attempt to isolate the President from contact with foreign leaders.

#2 President Trump is hugely popular overseas.

Just the relief of not having to deal with the mad witch + hope (since then seriously cracked) that the elephant in the china-shop has a driver.

#3 And I am still baffled as to why Trump & Co. do not pursue proceedings against Hillary, Loretta, Johnny P., and even N'Obama (surveillance) to name a few.

#4 Ever since the cockroach infestation of the Whitehouse occurred with the Clintons moving in, the radicalization of DC began.

A lot of work and progress had been made in painting DC red over the past twenty five years that was to culminate with the coronation of the Red Queen from Berkeley Hillary regardless of the fact that it took voter fraud, murder, and violent militant force against the supporters of the white knight. The media was to transform the rest of the country but failed as the voters defeated "Progressivism" at the ballot box.

The Red Queen knows that her socialist kingdom after decades of work will soon be torn down and all of her leftists must go all the way out on the limb to save the kingdom and destroy the white knight. And they will do it via the only means possible, by impeachment of the President via the Senates Democrats and Establishment Rinos that they have total control thereof.

As Maxine boldly proclaimed this week after the progress of Mueller, "after Trump, Pence is next."

#5 Hopefully, Trump is rolling up the back end of this coup d'état and moving forward towards the head.

#7 #4, I would suggest DC has always been willfully isolated for quite a long time. Now being more open we can see the poison has made its way into all areas in DC being it Government or private enterprises. Being open about it was contrary to normal operating procedures. In full view, they now are the targeted. The media has presented a false face to us all and the American people can see no truth in their presentations and have turned away. Hense revenue is declining rapidly.
