The Republicans
WOW! More political pontificating, hate and rage from music industry blogger Bob Lefsetz!
“As for Trump’s behavior…every Republican has been talking about Johnson today…as in ANDREW Johnson! That’s right, we have to go back to the 1860s for insight, before the automobile, never mind the internet. I mean they’re defending Andrew Johnson when we learned in school he was a b.s. President.”
And how is Andrew Johnson a “b.s. president”? He was impeached for following through on Abraham Lincoln’s plans for reconstruction after the Civil War. The main charge? His alleged violation of the Tenure of Office Act. Article 1 stated that Johnson ordered Stanton removed with the intent to violate the act. In a 1926 case, the Supreme Court declared that the Tenure of Office Act had been invalid.
Before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, he had formulated a plan of reconstruction that would be lenient toward the defeated South as it rejoined the Union. Andrew Johnson was intent on carrying out this plan when he assumed the presidency.
How was Andrew Johnson a “b.s. president”? Like Lyndon Baines Johnson was a “b.s. president”? You’re entitled to your opinions, but you might make a little effort to explain the basis for your insulting claims.
The Democrats
They’re all on the same page.
1. Even before he was elected president, Donald Trump was guilty of all kinds of things and needed to be investigated.
2. Hillary was never guilty of anything, Bill Clinton was a saint, and Ted Kennedy was “The Lion of the Senate”, even after leaving his mistress Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his car.
3. The Democrats are out to get Trump, and they’ve been on this path from day one.
Well, one out of three ain’t too bad. After all, you’re not a political expert – you’re a rock & roller ski bum who likes to preach to the “hoi polloi” about his political proclivities.
“Meanwhile, the Democrats are afraid. Of public opinion.”
Oh, yeah – that’s why they promote Old Slow Creepy Uncle Joe Biden, the Green New Deal (at a cost of $93 TRILLION collars), a check for $1,000 a month to everyone over 18 (Yang), an additional $33,000 000 000,000 for health care (Sanders), open borders, free healthcare for illegal immigrants, an end to ICE, reparations for African-Americans, Native Americans and LGBT victims of white privilege and all the rest. They’re afraid of public opinion…
Sure, FOX News and Tucker Carlson swing right, but they are eclipsed by the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and Bob Lefsetz who all function as the media arm of the Democratic party.
“All the Democrats can do is sit by silently as Trump makes news”
Sitting silently by? Are ya nuts? They are everywhere, 24/7/365, attacking President Trump over anything and everything, and have been doing so since the day he was elected.
“As for the radio talk shows like Rush…that’s so last century.”
Seriously? Rush Limbaugh has 15.5 million weekly listeners and Sean Hannity has 15 million. How many people listen to your podcast?
Meanwhile, taxpayers invested more than $40 million dollars over two years digging for evidence and dirt over collusion with the Russians and came up with NOTHING! Now we’ve got a “whistleblower” attacking Trump over things someone else TOLD him about – it’s hearsay! Gossip! Rumors! That’s all you’ve got.
Do your homework – learn your history – and don’t be such a low information left wing voter. Write about what you know – the music industry – it’s why we subscribed in the first place. Remember what you have told us:
“Being a politician is a profession. Michael Jordan proved that being the best basketball player of all time didn’t make him a world class baseball player.” – Bob Lefsetz
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
