McCaskill, The Typical Democrat--Out Of Touch, Wanting Only To Oppose What Americans Need

The Rough Life of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill

Can you imagine the pain of having to use your private jet because you broke your thousand-dollar tablet and couldn’t stand a creaky drawer in your luxury RV?

Such is the rough life of U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill.

Senator McCaskill’s phony campaign RV tour — parts of which she spent traveling on her private jet — definitively demonstrates how out of touch she is with hard working Missourians.

When confronted with evidence of her dishonesty about her private jet, McCaskill whined, "I added some stops with the use of the plane, but I was on the RV so much that the broken drawer drove me crazy. I even lost an iPad around a corner on the RV.”

Senator McCaskill believes a squeaky drawer and a busted iPad justify taking an expensive private plane on a supposed RV tour. Meanwhile, there are many Missourians who can’t even afford an iPad in the first place, much less a luxury RV or private jet.

McCaskill’s deep detachment from the lives of normal Americans is reflected not just by her travel arrangements, but more importantly, by her voting record.

For instance, she voted against President Trump’s historic tax cuts, which put money back in the pockets of working Missourians and their families. The President’s tax reform expanded the child tax credit, doubled the standard personal deduction, and reduced income tax rates across the board for the middle class.

Senator McCaskill tried valiantly to defend her use of a private plane. She said she shouldn’t have to apologize for “paying on my own dime to visit more Missouri veterans.” Maybe she should apologize for trying to deprive those veterans of the money President Trump’s tax plan saved them.

Tax reform isn’t the only area where Senator McCaskill demonstrates how out of touch she is with average Missourians.

The Senator voted against President Trump’s immigration compromise in February, even though two-thirds of Americans supported it. She also opposesthe President’s efforts to fix an international trade system that has seen American manufacturing and farming decimated by foreign cheating. This is why Missouri’s net farm income dropped from $3.2 billion dollars in 2008 to $1.5 billion by 2015.

McCaskill stood in the way of President Trump’s efforts to fix the country’s healthcare system that she and her Democratic peers messed up so badly. Thanks to Obamacare, individual health insurance premiums in the state rose by double digits this year.

McCaskill may like to pretend she’s not like the extreme members of her party who inhabit Washington D.C., New York, and San Francisco, but her voting record suggests otherwise.

For years, Democrats like Claire McCaskill have pretended to be the party of working people, all while creating conditions that have gutted America’s middle and working classes. McCaskill fought President Trump’s efforts to give money back to average Americans and is fighting his efforts to build an international market that is actually fair for American workers.

Unlike McCaskill and her Democratic colleagues, President Trump is actually working to make America a great place for all Americans, not just elite interest groups and wealthy senators who can afford to take a private plane on a “bus tour.”

President Trump is finally restoring hope to the forgotten Missourians the Democratic Party left behind. Don’t let Claire McCaskill and Chuck Schumer stand in the President’s way of making America and Missouri Great Again.

Bergdahl Is One Lucky SOB

Trump Reacts to Bergdahl’s Sentence

True Daily Staff November 3, 2017 News 2 Comments

President Trump tweeted Friday that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s sentence– a dishonorable discharge, but no prison time for leaving his post in June 2009 — was a “complete and total disgrace.”

More than eight years after Bergdahl walked off his base in Afghanistan — and unwittingly into the clutches of the Taliban — Bergdahl walked out of a North Carolina courtroom a free man Friday. Bergdahl, who pleaded guilty to endangering his comrades, was fined, reduced in rank to E1 and dishonorably discharged — but he received no prison time.

Trump, aboard Air Force One en route to meetings in Asia, tweeted his disapproval of the sentence.

“The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military,” Trump wrote.

Missing In Action--Freedom Of Speech In College

Left-wing protesters invade College Republicans meeting, reportedly declare ‘dialogue is violence’

Leftist students invaded a school-approved meeting of the College Republicans at the University of California, Santa Cruz, on Sunday, reportedly chanting that “dialogue is violence” and accusing the GOP students of being Nazis, fascists, racists, and white supremacists.

How did this start?

Student activist Haik Adamian — a “ringleader” of the protest, according to Campus Reform — posted on the official UCSC Student Facebook group about the College Republicans meeting, the outlet said.
“White Supremacist, fascist sympathizing College Republicans are having a meeting at McHenry library, room 0332. Everybody be aware of this violent racist activity happening everyday on this campus!” his post said, Campus Reform reported. “We need a movement of people on this campus that rejects the ‘right of assembly’ or ‘right of free speech’ for white supremacists and fascists.”

What happened next?

According to a statement from the College Republicans, posted by City on a Phil — which Campus Reform referred to as a moderate school news site — the student activists “banged open the door and started screaming at the top of their lungs and demanding we leave the space immediately.”
The protesters called the meeting “a threat to the library,” the statement read.
“We invited the activists to stay and discuss ideas,” the statement continued. “However, any attempt at civil communication was met with the response, ‘Dialogue is violence.’”
“The protesters called us a number of different epithets, including ‘fascists,’ ‘racists,’ and ‘white supremacists’ and berated McHenry Library staff, calling a school employee a ‘white supremacist,’” the statement added.
One protester was caught on video telling a school official to not follow the “f***ing rules.”

Some of their targets included students of color at the meeting, the statement said.

What else did video catch the protesters saying to meeting attendees?

“Your existence is a disturbance.”
“It’s gonna help if these motherf***ers leave, and we don’t allow racists on this campus.”
When a meeting attendee argued that Communist students wouldn’t be treated this way, one protester replied that’s “because Communists aren’t f***ing racists.”
“So you believe that Nazis should be able to express their racist ideas?” a protester asked, adding that he concluded the group members are Nazis because they “had a Build the Wall march” a year before.

How did it end?

A school official was on hand attempting to mediate the dispute and got nowhere.

The College Republicans refused to vacate the room.
One attendee who identified himself as a Democrat and defended the GOP students was heard on video saying in reference to the protesters that “we’re not indulging these children.”

All those not actively attempting to get the College Republicans out of the room became a “white supremacist” to the protesters, the statement continued.
One of the protesters even ran into the main library area screaming that there were “Nazis downstairs,” Campus Reform reported.
School officials called campus police, the College Republicans’ statement read, and three protesters were arrested for disturbing the peace.

How did one Democrat react?

“As a Democrat, I am embarrassed that some people on the left act this way,” Phil Leonard Vogel, creator of the City on a Phil, told Campus Reform. “They give all of us a terrible name.”
“I have a lot more sensational footage of the protesters being arrested and yelling at police,” City on a Phil added. “I don’t feel comfortable releasing that at this time. Although the protesters called me a litany of hurtful names and acted belligerently, I realize they are very young, and may not understand the full ramifications of their actions.”
In regard to the “your existence is a disturbance” statement, the City on a Hill post noted: “This is the exact rationale that the NAZIs used to murder members of my family. Basically, a Jew’s existence is such a ‘disturbance’ to the lives of other people, that any action of extermination is justified for the good of society. Many fascist groups frame their political enemies in this light, before taking violent action against them. The protesters who interrupted our meeting made it clear that they see everybody in that room (regardless of their viewpoints or ideologies) as defective people, who have no right to an opinion, or to assemble. I think it is important for the students on campus to see what fascism actually looks like.”

The College Republicans’ statement also said “many liberal students, who were initially skeptical of our group, now come to our meetings on a regular basis.”

Streep's Tirade Was Her Freedom Of Speech, Given In An Inappropriate Location

Meryl Streep Attacks Trump. Here's Trump's Response to the 'Hillary Flunky.'

JANUARY 9, 2017

Like a few other prominent Hollywoodites on Sunday, Meryl Streep used the
Golden Globes to attack Donald Trump, first whining about being a member
of one of the most "vilified" groups in America: "Hollywood, foreigners, and
the press," and then condemning him for "imitat[ing] a disabled reporter."

"There was one performance this year that stunned me," Streep told the audience
on Sunday in somber terms. "It sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was
good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It
made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment
when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated
a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity
to fight back."

As he is wont to do, Trump responded on Twitter early Monday, slamming the
"over-rated" "Hillary flunky":

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood,

doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She

is a Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never "mocked"

a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he

had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

Streep's comments about the disabled reporter are in reference to Trump's
public feud with reporter Serge Kovaleski who suffers from arthrogyposis,
a condition that restricts joint movement, after Kovaleski tried to walk back
his own report for the Washington Post which chronicled celebrations of 9/11
by American Muslims in New Jersey.

“Now the poor guy, you oughta see this guy – uh, I don’t know what I said, uh,
I don’t remember. He’s going like, I don’t remember,” said Trump mockingly.
Trump defended his disparaging impersonation by saying he was just doing a
generic impersonation, not trying to imitate Kovaleski's physical handicap. He
also said he had no recollection of having met Kovaleski before.
