Dear President Romney,
Thanks for doing a great job as President. Please hang tough.
It’s sad that two years into your presidency, the MSM and FBI/DOJ is still investigating your campaign and other activities. I’m trying to keep score, so to speak, here are the big ones:
– Full financial forensics analysis of the Mormon Church because you visited tabernacles at most campaign stops. Where is the outrage from Congress?
– Your “Notebook of Women” has transformed into a DOJ investigation into polygamy, saying that some of the families you visited at tabernacles were, in fact, yours, putting you in violation of US law — making false statements and other ridiculous charges. The New York Times has spilled ink on the subject nearly every day since you narrowly beat Hillary. The Clinton email server barely got a paragraph.
– Visiting Mormon tabernacles in foreign countries during the campaign so they want to charge you with accepting donations from foreign nationals. The treason charge because the missions you visited were in third-world socialist countries is way out there. Which also prompted the Intelligence Community to get a FISA warrant for suspected international fraud and terrorist support activities — you fed a Muslim baby!
– The IRS has jumped on the bandwagon by investigating all your tax filings during your years with Bain. This takes the cake since the DOJ/Obama leftovers hired Lois Lerner to lead the investigation.
– A re-hash of the 2002 Olympics financials?! You saved the taxpayer millions of dollars and they accuse you of profiteering and fraud. When will it end?
On the civilian side:
– ACLU has filed multiple charges against you, the Mormon church and God for “Separation of Church and State” violations, that by accepting money from Mormons while electioneering for a government position was illegal. I think it was really the usage of the “Mormon Miracle” when the economy leaped to 3.2% GDP first quarter. The real scandal is Obama taking credit for it.
– Church of Scientology has hired a legion of celebrity-hired lawyers (thanks Tom Cruise!) forcing the release of “secret” Mormon practices and claiming that Mormonism is not a Christian religion. CNN was blasting this 24×7 during the Christmas holiday run-up.
– The National SPCA is asking a judge in Massachusetts to have all pets removed from your home while they have protesters march in front of your home with placards reading “Dog Hater” with a picture of a dog chained to a car trunk hood. Ridiculous. But I see a local judge is reviewing the case and the Massachusetts State Police are prepared to go in with an armored vehicle, stating, “will shoot all resisting animals if necessary.”
I think you should start using Twitter and take your message right to the people.
Good Luck,
@JimGoneWild

I’m not thrilled that Trump got elected, but this isn’t the era to be idealistic.
Congrats Jim! Instapundit linked to your post.
I saw it. Thanks. Do I get a check? :0)
The President can fire Mueller tomorrow if he wants.
That’s not the question I’m asking. They never named a crime, which is not the way it is supposed to work. The scope memo got written well after he got started.
I got that from Andrew C. McCarthy.
Why is this O.K. ?
Specifically, how did the Muller probe start?
The point of it is make Trump look bad by association and produce a report that can be used for impeachment.
How about?
Sticking to criticizing his governance.
Criticize the electorate that wanted him. My question would be why do they want him?
Aren’t the GOP and RNC elite more to blame, here?
…but we have got a Soviet witch hunt that satisfies the hell out of many.
Too bad we can’t win any elections. . .
Maybe.
We’ve gone from “Conservatism wins every time it’s tried” (Rush Limbaugh) to “We can’t win any elections without becoming jerks”.
The problem, maybe, is Alinsky tactics and critical theory work and create actual damage. The MSM and the average Democrat voter participate reflexively.
Watch this lecture. You tell me how conservatism is actually supposed to either work or sell in the environment he’s describing.
All of this stuff Trump haters have in their heads about Ronald Reagan and everything related to that I really wonder about.
Watch any interview of Representative Tom Massey or watch the interview on Full Measure News of Representative Buck. Watch the Real Vision interview of David Stockman. No one is serious about anything. Everything moves left all of the time. You are stupid if you don’t use the government to steal from your fellow citizen, even if it’s just Social Security and Medicare.
So many Republicans think this Mueller investigation is fair, sensible, constitutional, and legal. I have my doubts.
I’m addicted to learning about this stuff and talking about it, but it’s probably a waste of time. You’re better off just figuring out how to game the system and protecting your friends and family.
This is the description of the lecture:
You need to doubt no longer. He has broken so many laws I’m surprised he hasn’t been arrested. A lot of his stuff is thrown out by the courts, but they never indict him, just say, naughty, naughty and let him go for the next guy/or gal.
I’m hoping that Trump or someone on his staff is making a list of all his illegal motions to the courts and present them to an honest judge in mass to determine he is a curse on the people of the USA
What gets me is all the law-breaking we have proof of on the Clinton side, and nobody ever gets charged with anything. The leaks alone are enough, but course there’s so much more than leaks.
Why isn’t Comey behind bars? Why isn’t Hillary in the cell right next door?
We reg’lar Americans see these people getting away with criminal acts and we know that equality under the law is a lie and a farce.
And that’s why you got Trump.
Why should I care that he said “Grab ’em by the hoo-hah” when the Clintons commit multiple criminal acts and it’s ignored?
Why should I demand his tax returns when Hillary used the State Department as the official bribery and money-laundering arm of the Clinton Foundation?
All this pearl-clutching over the President not being presidential because he writes mean tweets? After all the corruption from the Dem side of the aisle that’s come to light over the last couple years, why should I care about mean tweets?
He didn’t say that, he said because of who he was he could and the women would let him. There is a difference of doing, and bragging he could.
Right. I correct people on that all time.
Well, I am in agreement with you. He didn’t say “hoo-hah” either. But I think you understand my point. Washington DC is a city of criminals who consistently face no consequences for their crimes. Serious crimes. So really, I couldn’t care less if the president tweets mean things about CNN. CNN aids and abets criminals.
I understand your point, however, that mis-quote is a prime force in the left’s arsenal of “why we hate Trump, why he is disgusting, why he is …. anything else someone wants to condemn him.”
I’ve had my rear patted a time or two in my life, they got slapped for their efforts, and I have even forgotten their names. What kind of person hangs onto this kind of stuff for years and years. I can understand an assault, and harassment in the work place but jesh!
Oh, Gary.
Romney quote:
Our government is set up to Force everyone to have irresponsible “time preferences” i.e. rob from the future by robbing from your fellow citizens. That is what is what is discussed in that lecture above. You are stupid not to do it. Voting just makes it worse. I post stuff like this all the time. Then throw in the cultural marxism. You are a fool to be honest and productive.
How should we think about character in this environment?
