‘Never Trump’ Republicans Fear They have Been Blacklisted

HMM,  THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER SAY NEVER …

The WAPO reports that some Never Trumper’ national security Republicans find them self blacklisted and personae non gratae following Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory. Image that? So let’s understand this, they signed a “Never Trump” letter, they said that a Trump presidency would be a danger to the United States and now they want a job in a Trump administration. Really? This is exactly the BS that Trump ran against. So were these individuals actually against Trump or did they just think that Hillary was going to win and they were hedging their bets? As Instupundit opines, “I mean, when you sign a ‘Never Trump’ letter, aren’t you blacklisting yourself?” Or even better than that, gotta love the headline at Powerline … “Never Trump” Republicans whine that Trump may say “never them”.

They are some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administrations who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.

But their phones aren’t ringing. Their entreaties to Trump Tower in New York have mostly gone unanswered. In Trump world, these establishment all-stars say they are “PNG” — personae non gratae.

Their transgression was signing one or both of two public “Never Trump” letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation.

One letter, with 122 names, was published by War on the Rocks, a website devoted to national security commentary, during the primary season in March. The other, with 50 names, including some repeat signatories, was published by the New York Times during the general-election campaign in August.

Donald Trump Calls CNN Fake News At Press Conference in Wake of Release of an Unverified Dossier by Buzzfeed (VIDEO)

DONALD TRUMP CALLS CNN FAKE NEWS …

Yesterday at President-elect Donald Trump’s first press conference, he called out and put CNN News in its place by calling them “fake news”. In the wake of the release of the unverified dossier released by BuzzFeed and run with by CNN, Trump called CNN for what they were. The fact of the matter is that CNN wanted it to be true, that’s why they ran with this unsubstantiated report. They never would have done this to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. But they are so willing to go after Trump that any and all journalistic standards are thrown to the wayside. Personally, the individual was acting so rude and disrepectful, I would have had hi removed if he didn’t shut up.

“Your organization is terrible!” Trump fumed, trying to move on to another reporter, despite Acosta’s pleas that he be allowed to ask a question, since Trump had slammed his network.

“Don’t be rude,” Trump responded. “Don’t be rude. No, I’m not going to give you a question . . . You are fake news!”

Meryl Streep called out Donald Trump at the Golden Globes. … Hollywood Just Does Not Get That They Live in LA LA LAND, Not the Real World … Trump Responded Calling Her ‘Over-Rated’

AWE, THOSE POOR HOLLYWOOD TYPES IN THEIR DESIGNER DRESSES AND JEWELS …

Meryl Streep took the opportunity at last night’s Golden Globe awards, another opportunity for the privileged to get together and reward themselves, to go after president-elect Donald trump. Yawn, this is getting real old. But what else would you expect from Hollywood and all the people who in the room were still in mourning?Believe it or not, the out of touch actress also stated that Hollywood and the media were victims as she stated, “You and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press.” Just how out of touch can one possibly be?

Meryl Streep went after Trump for his comments to a disables reporter. Hmm, you know what was conspicuous by her actions and solemn plea … where was her compassion and caring  for the white, special needs, mentally disabled man who was tortured by 4 blacks and broadcast on Facebook Live? Or where was her outrage when Barack Obama made fun of Special Olympics? Yeah I know, it’s Hollywood … crickets.  The double standard in Hollywood is despicable and reason number 42.9 why America rose up and elected Donald trump.

WAPO:

It’s no secret that Hollywood skews liberal, and there were probably few Donald Trump fans in the audience at Sunday’s Golden Globes. And while the awards show kicked off with a few jokes at the president-elect’s expense, Meryl Streep took an incredibly serious tone when addressing the recent presidential election.

Streep accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award — basically a lifetime achievement award — but didn’t say much about her career. Instead, she spent the minutes allotted to her to speak critically of the current political climate and Trump, although she didn’t mention the president-elect by name.

“There was one performance this year that stunned me,” she said. “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. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”

Streep was referring to Trump’s remarks during the campaign, when he appeared to mock New York Times reporter Serge F. Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis, which visibly limits the functioning of his joints.

“And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, ’cause it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing,” the actress said.

UPDATE I: Kellyanne Conway told “Fox and Friends” Monday that she’s “concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep’s is inciting people’s worst instincts.”

Donald Trump Picks Kellyanne Conway to Serve as Counselor to the President

FANTASTIC CHOICE!!!

Donald Trump has picked Kellyanne Conway to serve as counselor to the president. Kellyanne Conway, who served as President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign manager and was the first female to successfully win a presidential election as a campaign manage is a solid and A+ choice. Her position will be similar to that of past counselors to the president like Karen Hughes with President George W. Bush, and Edwin Meese, who worked for President Ronald Reagan. Trump said in a statement, “Kellyanne Conway has been a trusted adviser and strategist who played a crucial role in my victory. She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message. I am pleased that she will be part of my senior team in the West Wing.” YES SHE HAS. Much of Trump’s success and late focused message surge can be directly attributed to Kellyanne Conway. She ran rings around the liberal and establishment media during the election cycle. You knew she was going to have a spot in a Trump administration, it was a matter of where.

Kellyanne Conway, who served as President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign manager and has been a senior adviser to his transition team, will serve as counselor to the president in the incoming administration.

In its Thursday morning announcement, Trump’s transition team said Conway will “continue her role as a close advisor to the president and will work with senior leadership to effectively message and execute the Administration’s legislative priorities and actions.”

“Kellyanne Conway has been a trusted advisor and strategist who played a crucial role in my victory. She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message. I am pleased that she will be part of my senior team in the West Wing,” Trump said in a statement.
