My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

“the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump”
Taibbi is no fan of Trump’s. Many others aren’t enamoured with Trump but they support Trump because for us it’s not a partisan game between the red team vs blue team; it’s about protecting the democratic institutions so we all have a nice way to play and work out their differences.
But the phony progressives champagne swilling virtue signalling race baiting hypocrites on both sides of the border are on the side of those who would destroy those institutions. Don’t like the outcome of an election, go stage a coup. Who are the fascists now?
And CBC for the past two years has been providing cover for the plotters 24/7
Yesterday I watched Hedges on Taibbi’s Useful Idiots show. Hedges says Trump and his band of deplorables aren’t the cause of the problem. They are the symptom. I don’t agree with LEFTies like Hedges on the modus operandi and the fix, but it’s fun to see real life LEFTies eviscerate phony virtue signaling progressives.
Reader beware: Truthdig is left and looney.

(Hedges on Sanders throwing support behind HRC after the DNC cheated him out of the nomination)
Some thought Sanders could have won the presidency. Shame/s. Now the progressives, Neo-cons & the Koch Bo’s can look forward to a 76 year old, pedo, on-the-take, warmonger establishment politician take then to the promised land.
Nah … the media don’t WANT groper-Biden … and the (D’s) can’t carry the Alzheimer’s patient over the finish line without their partners in the leftist media. Instead, the (D’s) will take a “Historic” step forward and nominate their SECOND woman for the presidency. And when SHE2 goes down in flames to PDJT … the American people will be branded as “sexist” and un-evolved. In addition to deplorable.

In D’Souza Book “The Big Lie”. It explains how the Left will never allow a loss, or defeat! They will shut down all dissenting opinions or philosophy!—– ” That threat is so grave, the left tells us, that it justifies violent “anti-fascist” protest——for the impeachment ——of the democratically elected president of the United States”! Wow this book was written in 2017!
The left in Canada lead by the Liberals, the NDP, and the Green are doing the same thing! They are setting up for a coalition against Scheer! We in the West must leave!!!!
Agreed that Alberta needs to get out while we can, but we also must ensure we have a constitution that enshrines our rights like the American one does AND also limits the size of government so that we never again have the situation where there left bureaucrats are over riding the democracy.
How’s that working out for the US of A ?
After half of the population is nothing more than blood sucking parasites that piece of paper means nothing.
The Block of land called Buffalo has to leave !!! We are the only Western Democratic country that is being ruled by 1 Legislative branch, the House of Commons! The House of Commons has 200 MPs coming from a small area of the St Lawrence and Great Lake basin! The Antifa in Canada which includes our Media (CBC) are starting to say they will band together to keep the Conservatives from power! An elected Senate that Prime Minister Harper tried to established might have provided a check and balance! ( But it Failed)
What is needed is a Leader like Brad Wall to take this daunting task on!!!
Brad Wall is just another Missed Opportunities Harper.
Taibbi is one of the few lefties that learned the lesson of the fake Russia hoax (that it was an obvious hoax to anyone who turned off the usual left wing media and just performed a modicum of research is another story).
The real problem is the refusal of antagonists to reason it out like Taibbi and admit they were misled and misinformed.
The m/o is just move on to the next alarmist invention.
Do you think if God spoke to the world and said, “Global warming is a hoax. You can all rest easy now.” that the alarmists would rest easy? They would simply invent another scare and ride that horse. That’s how it works and sadly, I don’t know a way out of this that ends well.
Well worth reading:

what have these people in common
let me guess? IQ. And we can fill out the list.
I got part way through. Looks like a never Trumper setting the stage to have some credibility when it fails again.
He used all the woke dog whistle words, “Trump racist” “Trump pussy grabber” etc. etc. etc. which tells me he is completely insincere.
“says nice things about Putin” …
I suspect Taibbi has something of an axe to grind with the KGB
There’s no way for this to end well or easy.
One side has decided that they will only accept the results of free and fair elections if they win. They will resist, obstruct, and attack anyone who stands in the way of exerting power and control of government and society.
The other side will operate in good faith until they realize what the other side is doing. Then they will walk away from the table and prepare for the storm.
This is how democracy dies. Not in darkness, but out in the open, exposed for everyone to see.
“ more dangerous than Trump”
That’s where I stopped because it set the tone.
Trump is the least dangerous president in my lifetime.
It’s truly an indescribable feeling that overcomes me when I imagine all your reactions to this article had it been written about Obama instead of Trump; even moreso if I imagine Obama had done even a tenth of the shady illegal shit that Trump has.
Is that you UnMe?
Do enjoy the rest of Taibbi’s articles.
You come across as an NPC Incel wanker with your feely subjective ravings.
Everybody says the other side would react differently to the same events. No shit Sherlock. Most of us can factor that it.
His admin plumbed the limits of criminality, with Fast and Furious, with sending Lerner the 5th’s IRS to harass conservatives, surveilling world leaders without their knowledge, with Obama signing EO 12333 that enabled swamp leakage, and his assurances to Russia he would have “more flexibility” in his 2nd term.
WTF has Trump done that’s illegal notwithstanding ludicrous leftist fables, various frame up jobs and concocted culpability?
Trump has a criminal record? Are there charges against him or his family? No, quite the opposite; if you could enlighten us.
Oh you mean like the Clintons, investigated and exonerated but actually not innocent? Or is he not, not guilty? LOL.
Leftists, never Trumpers and RINOs have brought legions over to Trump’s side, disgusted with establishment duplicity.
You’re such an utterly worthless, shameless, subhuman POS. You’re trying from day one to sabotage Trump’s presidency because the election, that you were trying to rig in the first place, did not work out your way. That is all there is to it, nothing more. You do not have a shred of legitimacy. You’re nothing but thugs using lawfare to destroy lives like the scumbag Mueller did to dozens of innocent victims.
If there was justice Ogabe, Heinrich Holder, Hitlery, Godfather Rahm and the rest of the junta all would be swinging from lamposts . All you Antifa storm troopers would be loaded on cattle cars. And yet despite getting away with all your crimes you shamelessly continue playing victims while consistently working towards destruction of the Western World.
… even a tenth of theshady illegal shit that Trump has…
Oh please enlighten me … do you mean take the SAME executive actions as Obama? Just because a corrupt leftist Judge “rules” Trump broke some imaginary “law” not actually written down anywhere … doesn’t make it “illegal”. The SCOTUS has backed nearly every action taken by Trump. And when they didn’t, because some smarmy Chief Justice purports to “read the intent” of a citizenship question on the census, Trump simply found another completely legal work-around.
Obama wasn’t sued by conservative Judges, because conservative Judges actually READ and ENFORCE our LAWS – as written… not as imagined.
Matt Taibbi is an Arab, who opposes Trump because he think Trump is working for the Zionists. He abuses himself to the thought of the happy day when the Zionists will be driven into the sea.
His fear is that this could be the trigger for loyal Americans finally uniting to purge their nation of its enemies. In the end, that includes all the horrible sons and daughters of Amalek defiling American soil by living on it—including Matt.
What are you suggesting? A pogrom against all Arabs?
Have you ever read the New Testament?
Are you Christian or a flaming troll?
Personally I don’t believe that Israel must be restored to the “promised land” for a saviour to be able to come on the clouds and bring about Armageddon. If I were a Zionist, I wouldn’t be objecting to that tale.
That Trump isn’t working for Zionists has been disproved by him pulling US troops out of Syria upsetting Netanyahu.
Armageddon will be created by man not Christ. Christ will stop it by finishing it.
When you read the screed of the post an the article at Power Line suddenly you may realize, if you’re old enough, that the going ons in the deep state and ‘Democratic leaders’ in in the Congress severely resembles a thing called ‘JUNTA’ that was fashionable in Latin America in the past.
Sorry Kenji, is the USA turning into a banana republic, if it’s not already? Do the citizens realize that?
We will probably know in not too distant future if the magnificent constitution of the US can withstand the relentless attack on it by the degenerating if not degenerate so called “Democrats”
Trump isn’t going anywhere, that’s what the wacko Democrats know, he has them totally off their heads.
Where is Hillary?
When the end comes, it will be an extinction-level event for the Democrat party. The deep state players made the mistake
of involving too many people in their conspiracy. If we know the identities of the main players, the Trump administration
knows a lot more than we do. These idiots left a trail that even Mr. Magoo could follow. When the crap hits the fan, we
will be thanking the liberal media for covering up decades of rampant corruption in the Democrat party. The Donks
are in a panic over the Ukranian president promising to look into the Russian collusion hoax and corruption scandals
involving Hunter Biden, John Kerry’s son, Nancy Pelosi’s son and others. Then comes the Biden-China corruption scandal.
You can bet that President Trump has had people investigating the leakers and deep state swamp rats in the White House
and executive branch since he was sworn in. These Walter Mitty spies in his midst have no idea what is coming their way.
Those actually schooled in spycraft took a page out of Mario Puzzo’s The Godfather: “Keep your friends close and your
enemies closer.” A common technique is to leave the rats in place and let them incriminate themselves. You can also bet
that no matter how many “whistleblowers” the Democrats yank out of their rectal orifices, they will doom themselves
if none of them were actually in the room at the time of Trump’s call to the Ukranian president. If the info came from a
leaker, I’m sure that the leaker will be exposed by simply cross-checking the names of those in the room against past leaks.
By now, a lot of Democrats are consulting lawyers and hiding their assets behind layers of dummy corporations. The whole
house of cards is going to come down before next November’s election. When the end comes, I’ll be sipping margaritas and
munching on a bowl of popcorn while the events unfold. The left would not be this obsessed with destroying President
Trump unless they had a lot to lose!
Make mine a Sugar-free Paleo Skinny Margarita … too much SUGAR in the typical Margarita syrupy syrup syrup!
Other than that … I look forward to the show!
And the MSM wonders why no one be;lieves them. I am so sick of the countless fake stories. As a couple of people I know who grew up in communist countries, the lies and propaganda here on the media and in schools is worse than the communist countries because there, you knew you were being lied to.
Something you would likely see on CBC.
