The WIRE: Your week in review

November 18, 2016 By Takingonissues

From Detroit to the Democrats’ diaper pail — and most points in between — it’s time for a look back at the week that was. Personal Liberty Digest® presents: The WIRE!

Approximately 33 percent of polled Democrats still believe President-elect Donald Trump didn’t “legitimately” defeat Hillary Clinton.


The same percentage believe Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video, so…

The left’s meltdown continued unabated, with HBO comic — and influential liberal mouthpiece — John Oliver bemoaning the results of the election, mocking Americans and claiming to have suffered “waves of nausea” over Trump’s victory.

If we wanted to be patronized by some overly bred British daisy, we wouldn’t have kicked King George’s ass — twice.

Television actor Bill Maher and gun-running perjurer Eric Holder think the solution to the political unrest is to eliminate the Electoral College.

If the biggest jerk on television and Mr. Fast and Furious think so, then what are we waiting for?

Joining them in their condemnation of the Electoral College: 1988 presidential election loser Michael Dukakis, who lost the E.C. by 315 and lost the popular vote by about 7 million.

Dukakis?  Really? You wanna call up Walter Mondale for some tips, too?

After Hillary’s defeat, the Democrat Party’s elite huddled with the “Democracy Alliance,” a group of uber-rich left wing donors, at D.C.’s super-luxe Mandarin Oriental Hotel.


You know it’s an emergency when Soros leaves his secret underground lair.

New data reveals that one third of Americans went without healthcare in 2016 due to high costs. Compare that with the one third who went without before Obamacare passed, and you get — um — hope and change?

Yeah, but it’s a totally different third!

With his signature achievement facing a dark future, President Obama took to the streets to spout its virtues; even telling one audience that they can buy insurance for less per month than their cell phone bills.

Who the hell have you been calling? You know those 1-900 numbers are only free for the first minute, right?

The media’s love affair with Trump continued this week when the press got their panties in a wad after Trump ditched them for a family dinner at Manhattan’s 21 Club.

He didn’t invite you? And after you were so unbiased? He at least should have brought you a doggy bag.

In a conference call with donors, Hillary Clinton blamed her defeat on FBI Director James Comey and his investigation into her illegal private email server.


The fact that you left top-secret intel on Carlos Danger’s Creep-O-Tron had nothing to do with it?

Soon-to-be-ex Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid yelped that Trump “is a sexual predator,” that his election caused “hate crimes” and that FBI Director Comey is a “Republican operative.” Of course, Reid omitted any factual basis for the claims, as usual.

You’re an alleged pedophile who lost a fight with a Nordic-Track. At least, I think I heard that somewhere.

Trump’s win sent some of the snowflakes scurrying to their “safe spaces,” with some colleges and organizations going so far as to offer therapy dogs to despondent Democrats.

Those poor puppies! Does PETA know about this?

Others took a more aggressive tone.


But they voted for Hillary because she’s a woman.

President Obama would have told the liberals to tone it down, but he was busy with a priority matter.


“Unless they’re looting the pro shop, I’m gonna putt out, ok?”

Mayors of multiple Democrat-dominated cities proclaimed their towns will remain “sanctuaries” for illegal aliens, no matter what President-elect Trump does about immigration. Some seemed to be risking the safety of the residents just to tweak Trump:


“I’m gonna turn this place into Ciudad Juarez! That’ll show him!”

Others were just lonely. So very, very lonely.


“Seriously, we’ll take anyone at this point.”

College and high school students staged protest marches this week to register their displeasure with Trump’s victory. Good to see the kiddies getting so involved; even if a sizeable percentage didn’t bother to vote.


“We’re marching for this counting as a sociology credit. Besides… there’s chicks here.”

Some liberals have taken to wearing safety pins as a symbol of how Trump’s defeat of Hillary has given them a case of the sads.

Fortunately, most of them already have the required equipment.

And that’s your week in review! For the Personal Liberty Digest®, I’m Ben Crystal saying “See you next week, on The WIRE!”
