Bean thing<\/a>.\u00a0 Are you familiar with the L.L. Bean story?\u00a0 Do you know what L.L. Bean is?\u00a0 All right.\u00a0 They\u2019re a company up in Maine, and they make boots and stuff if you\u2019re gonna go jump in the water while you kill birds and alligators. They\u2019re basically a wildlife outfit, and they\u2019ve got the L.L. Bean catalog and all that.\u00a0 They\u2019re age-old.\u00a0 They\u2019re as old as the Farmer\u2019s Almanac.\u00a0 They may be the Farmer\u2019s Almanac for all &#8212; anyway, it turned out that a woman, one of the members of the board at L.L. Bean had the audacity to make a campaign contribution to Trump!<\/p>\n<p>Can you believe it?\u00a0 Who does she think she is?\u00a0 And so you know what happened?\u00a0 A bunch of leftist bullies, this pajama-clad bunch of invisible neophytes out on the internet started bullying her and demanding that people stop shopping at L.L. Bean.\u00a0 In other words, they were encouraging a boycott because somebody there had the audacity to donate to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And so Trump praised her, and Trump thanked her for her support.\u00a0 And everybody said, &#8220;Trump can\u2019t do that, presidents can\u2019t do that.\u00a0 You can\u2019t pick winners and losers like that.&#8221;\u00a0 This has nothing to do with picking winners and losers.\u00a0 This is defending somebody who supported him against an all-out bullying assault that I am intimately aware of and a lot of people are in the way this whole thing works, we have uncovered it.\u00a0 We know who these people are.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re about 10 people and they make themselves out via algorithms to look like they are thousands of people, and they end up writing letters to businesses that make it look like they\u2019re coming from the city the business is located.\u00a0 The whole thing is a scam and we have uncovered it and we\u2019ve identified the people.\u00a0 And they\u2019re trying this on L.L. Bean now.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump, who is loyal, simply praised her. I think he even did a photo-op with her or something, and it was basically fighting back against a typical leftist.\u00a0 If it were up to me these people would be gone after in court for violation of tortious &#8212; or tortious interference or whatever.\u00a0 These are anti-capitalist, invisible bullies out there demanding that every other sniveling little leftist join their stupid little boycotts.<\/p>\n<p>Fine and dandy, freedom of speech, do what you want, but to say that we can\u2019t fight back, to say that fighting back is picking winners and losers.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s not picking L.L. Bean over anybody else.\u00a0 He\u2019s simply fighting back, which is what we have been missing for the last eight years.\u00a0 And you can see how much the left hates it.<\/p>\n<p>You can even see how much establishment Republicans hate it, \u2019cause they were joining this refrain that Trump can\u2019t pick winners and losers. &#8220;We can\u2019t do that. This is unseemly. He\u2019s got to stop tweeting.\u00a0 Presidents can\u2019t tweet like this.\u00a0 Presidents can\u2019t do this.

Trump United States Capitol, would that bother you?\u00a0 The Donald J. Trump Senate Chamber.\u00a0 (laughing)\u00a0 I tell you, we can\u2019t pick winners and losers.<\/p>\n<p>And then all over the internet on liberal websites there\u2019s another theme out there today based on Trump\u2019s press conference where he called CNN fake news and refused to call on Jim Acosta. There\u2019s a unified assault on Trump from the left wing of the internet, and it goes like this.<\/p>\n<p>There are norms in society.\u00a0 There\u2019s civil rights in society.\u00a0 There are norms and procedures and protocols, and they exist because we have years and years and years and years of experience in proper human behavior and how to behave blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And Trump is simply assaulting all of this, and this is why we must ignore Trump and why we must constantly fight Trump because Trump is upsetting all of the age-old protocols and norms.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m watching these people lose their lunch over this.\u00a0 I\u2019m watching them go crazy.\u00a0 And as they talk about norms and as they talk about protocols and as they talk about tradition and as they talk about all of these age-old civilized ways in which people at positions of power behave, I keep shouting, &#8220;What about marriage?\u00a0 You people overthrew marriage.\u00a0 You had to see fit to redefine marriage.\u00a0 What about the protocols and the norms and the decency and all of the millennia of years establishing the best way to have a nuclear family, and you guys came along and upset it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you guys throw out norms, when you guys throw out protocols, when you guys throw out years and years and years of so-called civilized manner, it\u2019s apparently fine, and it\u2019s called &#8216;progress.\u2019\u00a0 When somebody like Trump comes along and doesn\u2019t behave toward you the way you think you should be respected and so on, all of a sudden all the building blocks of our civilized culture are falling apart.&#8221;\u00a0 I just love it, folks.\u00a0 I\u2019ll tell you, these people are wits\u2019 end.\u00a0 Wait \u2019til you hear some of the audio sound bites from the Hillary team here.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not kidding you.\u00a0 Wait \u2019til you hear this.\u00a0 They are still claiming that the election was fraudulent, that the polling was right, and therefore Hillary should be president.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not making this up.\u00a0 Robby Mook, the campaign manager, and a spokesman for Hillary are still saying the polls, the preelection polls and the exit polls, that\u2019s where the truth of this election was, and the votes didn\u2019t match up with the preelection polls and the exit polls and that means the Russians stole the election for Trump &#8212; and they\u2019re dead serious.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what does all this mean?\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m just gonna tell you.\u00a0 What it really all means is that you should prepare yourself for the fact that they\u2019re not gonna stop until they destroy Donald Trump either by way of impeachment &#8212; they don\u2019t have the votes for that.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have anywhere near the votes.\u00a0 They can\u2019t&#8230; You know, the way impeachment works, you need two-thirds. The House of Representatives charges and then the House Senate conducts the trial and the vote, and they don\u2019t have anywhere near the votes unless they get a bunch of recalcitrant Republicans to go along with \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me of the health care.\u00a0 That\u2019s another thing.\u00a0 The left is in sheer panic over health care.\u00a0 Oh!\u00a0 One other thing.\u00a0 I need to go back to this bus&#8230; Well, I\u2019ll get back to it.\u00a0 The cabinet picks supposedly saying during their confirmation hearings things totally at variance of what Trump promised during the campaign.\u00a0 Ben Carson is a classic example.\u00a0 They\u2019re up there asking Ben Carson, &#8220;Are you gonna protect the HUD budget? You better damn well better protect the HUD budget! You know how important the HUD budget is?

He says what he says; he believes it. They elected him. Okay, here come he\u2019s nominees.\u00a0 Who\u2019s the audience?\u00a0 A bunch of establishment politicians that hate Donald Trump, both parties.\u00a0 And so these nominees are up there, &#8220;So, Dr. Carson, are you prepared to protect the HUD budget?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Carson says, &#8220;Not only am I prepared to protect it, I may even find a way to expand it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good answer! Good answer! We\u2019ll vote for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all this is.\u00a0 Same thing with Tillerson.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same thing with Mattis.\u00a0 What they\u2019re trying to say is that Trump has been betrayed by his own stupidity.\u00a0 What they\u2019re trying to say is that Trump\u2019s actual cabinet nominees are exposing Trump for the fraud that he is.\u00a0 It\u2019s stupid!\u00a0 It is laughably stupid what they\u2019re glomming onto.\u00a0 They are so desperate for evidence that Trump is dumb, they\u2019re so desperate that evidence that Trump is stupid, they\u2019re so desperate for evidence that all of this has been a quirk of fate and an accident rooted in Trump\u2019s stupidity.<\/p>\n<p>They haven\u2019t got the slightest idea that the guy is running rings around them in terms of strategy, tactics, and intelligence.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing, the hubris and the arrogance of these people.\u00a0 They\u2019ve got their desires, their preconceived wishes and notions.\u00a0 They have their narratives.\u00a0 Trump is an idiot, Trump\u2019s a liar, Trump doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing. And so here come his nominees singing different tunes from what Trump did, and to these guys in the Beltway, the media, this is evidence.
