China-Japan-Koreas
Paul Manafort and Feinstein's China Spy
[AmericanThinker] Paul Manafort stands trial in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's dock for a tax evasion case that the Department of Justice in 2005 decided there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute for no other reason than he later worked for Donald Trump. Perhaps now he wishes he had been the office manager for California senator Dianne Feinstein (D), who hired a Chinese spy to be her driver and office manager, for there seems to be a double standard here when it comes to working with agents for a foreign power.

There is no evidence or even a suggestion that Feinstein was colluding with the Chinese, just as there is no evidence that President Trump or Paul Manafort, during his short stint as Trump's campaign manager, colluded with Russia. Yet Manafort is being persecuted...er, prosecuted for a minor crime while the Chinese spy, Russell Lowe, was allowed to pack his box and leave. No criminal prosecution and no special counsel to see where this thread might unravel. Again, the difference is that Manafort worked for Trump, and Lowe worked for Feinstein ‐ ironically, one of the leaders in the Russian collusion witch hunt.

Imagine if this were Donald Trump's personal driver being groomed by Beijing's security service to spy on his boss and pass information to the local Chinese consulate and handlers when traveling abroad. Faster than you can say "Carter Page," a special counsel would be appointed to nail the president for treasonous collusion.

Fifth Column
Michael Fn Moore: ‘F‐k Hope, Seriously, F---k Hope;' Trump Will Be ‘Last President of the U.S.'
F‐k hope," because it’s "the lazy way out," liberal activist filmmaker Michael Moore says in an interview promoting his new anti-Trump film, "Fahrenheit 11/9," which opens in theaters on September 21.

Legal means and exposing scandals can’t "save the country," Moore told The Huffington Post in his vulgar attack on "hope":

"F--k hope. Seriously, f--k hope. F--k despair, too. But f--k hope.
But first, f--k you, Michael. And if your prophecy comes to pass, hopefully you will be our first hero and suffer the resulting fate after you figure out how stupid you were.
"Hope is passive. Hope gives you permission to let someone else do the work. Hope leads people to believe that tax returns, or a pee tape, or the FBI or an adult film star will save the country. Hope, and the passivity that comes with it, is what helped get us here to begin with. It’s the lazy way out.

"We don’t need hope. We need action."

"There is a real insurgency taking place" ‐ and it’s coming from an extremely surprising source, Moore said:
Let me guess, it'll be revealed in your upcoming movie, right?
"The revolution is happening in the most unlikely of places. The resistance ― the true resistance ― is not coming from the Democratic Party or from the liberal establishment. I can’t reveal too much right now, but there is a real insurgency taking place."

"Ladies and gentlemen: the last president of the United States," the trailer for Moore’s film declares while showing a clip of President Donald Trump.

#3  What it means is when the Dems retake tge White House, they will attempt to do away with electoral college so that they can simply select whoever they want to hold office, hence the push to erase our borders

#4  ..or, given his massiveness, nature could well take its course, and Trump will be the limousine commie's last president.

#9  Michael Francis Moore was born in Flint, Michigan, and raised in Davison by parents Helen Veronica (née Wall),[7] a secretary, and Francis Richard "Frank" Moore, an automotive assembly-line worker

You're sooo on the wrong side, Mr Moore.
