Here are highlights from Stage 16 of the Tour de France.

I oppose impeachment proceedings against this president because they are guaranteed to fail.

One does not have to be a political genius to know how this will play out. The Democrats will list every grievance they ever had against him, appearing weak. Then the measure will pass strictly along partisan lines, cementing the idea that it is driven solely by partisan politics. Next, the measure will be handed off to the Senate, where it is absolutely certain to fail, just in time for the 2020 election.

Witch hunt! No collusion! No obstruction! Complete exoneration! Sound familiar? All except for that last part, which will be a gift from the Democrats and the crown jewel of this president’s reelection campaign.

The 2020 election is going to be for the soul of this country. I’m begging the Democrats not to blow this one. This time the stakes are too high.

In 2016 I almost won Minnesota. In 2020, because of America hating anti-Semite Rep. Omar, & the fact that Minnesota is having its best economic year ever, I will win the State! “We are going to be a nightmare to the President,” she say. No, AOC Plus 3 are a Nightmare for America!

Here is Kurt Schlichter’s latest column.

Democrats agonize over understanding President Trump’s supporters, whom they see as the working-class folks who were once their core constituency. But it is essential to understand that there are two types of Trump supporters. There are the shills, and there are the marks. The shills of course are the Republican elites (the politicians, their wealthy clients, the Kochs, the Murdochs, the Mercers), who have been working this con for 30-plus years, pitching lies that tax cuts for the rich will trickle down, and that the reason you’re struggling is not because your boss doesn’t pay you a living wage, but because dark-skinned immigrants are taking your jobs. Trump is their messiah, their stable genius flimflam man who lies so fluently, so shamelessly—and who is leading the GOP to oblivion.

The hope for Democrats is to appeal to the victims of this con, with compassion most of all. No one wants to admit they have been conned. Calling them racists will only help Trump get re-elected. There is a very high correlation between opium addiction and Trump supporters. These are mostly decent folk who have been pitched a hateful message from the GOP machine for 30 years.

Note from KBJ: We’re not being conned, James. We love President Trump. He is making America great again.
