Good Ol' Ana...

Post by Lord Jim »

@ananavarro 22h22 hours ago

Just landed in Nicaragua, ruled by intellectually limited strongman who thinks he's above the law. Feels very familiar...except in Spanish.
:lol:


I know I've talked about her before; since early in the nomination campaigns, Ana Navarro has become my favorite political pundit on the cable news channels....

For anyone who may not be familiar with her:
Ana Navarro

Ana Navarro Flores (born December 28, 1971) is a Nicaraguan-born American Republican strategist and political commentator for various news outlets, including CNN, CNN en Español,[2] ABC News, Telemundo,[3] and The View.[4]

Navarro was born in Nicaragua, in 1971. She and her family moved to the United States in 1980. She attended the Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart, a private Catholic college preparatory day school for girls in Coconut Grove, a neighborhood of the city of Miami, Florida,[4] and is a graduate of the University of Miami. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies and Political Science in 1993. In 1997, she obtained a Juris Doctor from St. Thomas University Law School.[5]

Navarro has served in a number of Republican administrations, including the transition team for Florida governor Jeb Bush in 1998.[6] She also served as the National Co-Chair of the Hispanic Advisory Council for John McCain in 2008[2] and Jon Huntsman Jr. in 2012.[7] She supported Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign.[8]

In February 2014 she was hired as a political commentator for ABC News.[9] She has also been a contributor to CNN and CNN en Español.[4]

In October 2016 she made headlines when she strongly criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on CNN after a 2005 tape of him making degrading comments towards women was leaked, and called for party leaders to disown Trump.[10][11][12] On November 7, she revealed that she had voted for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Though Navarro is a lifelong Republican, she is vehemently anti-Trump, [I know the feeling...] and said she decided to vote for Clinton after seeing how close the race in Florida had become.[13]

Ana's got a very sharp wit and a great sense of humor, but she does not suffer fools gladly or mince words...

She frequently can be found bitch slapping the Trumpford Wives and and other assorted Trumpanzee Minions on the news shows...

Here are some of her Greatest Hits from during the campaign:



And since the election, she hasn't let up one bit:



Here are a few more of her recent tweets:

Going off grid for this wknd when we honor those who served & died for our country. If Trump goes into exile, send me a messenger pigeon.

Daily Recap: MT voting, may send a wrestler to Congress; NATO leaders not Trump groupies; Trump gives weird hand shakes w/his little hands.
@ananavarro May 25

Trump trip: Saudi Arabia, treated like royalty; Israel, all smiles; Vatican, Pope looked like his teeth hurt; Brussels, like Trump has B.O.
:lol:
@ananavarro May 25

Trump's done fewer inconceivably stupid, crazy, embarrassing things than expected on this trip, so we're talking hand-holding & hand-shakes.
@ananavarro May 25

If u can't handle answering simple questions, u don't belong in Congress. But certainly can apply to be security for Turkish Pres. Erdogan.
@ananavarro May 22

As more shoes drop, more revelations come out, more I think Trump's best bet is a sea lion snatching his suit and dragging him into the sea.
:D
@ananavarro May 19

Feeling nostalgic for the good old days when the biggest political scandal was our kitchen appliances were allegedly spying on us. Sigh...
@ananavarro May 19

Going to sleep. Can't deal 1 more minute w/reality that this Neanderthal in a suit is my president. Good night. This too shall pass. I hope.

I don't have required parts and not flexible enough. But thanks for the suggestion. Good night, dear.
I don't follow many people on Twitter, but I do follow Ana...

If the Republican party is to thrive going forward, we are going to need more principled, honest people like Ana Navarro, and fewer shameless, cynical Trump shills like Jeffrey Lord...

Any "Republican" who can defend and make excuses for Il Boobce doing things like giving classified information to Putin's henchmen, or deliberately and publicly undermining the Western Alliance is a RINO, big league...

And Trump himself of course, is The RINO-In-Chief...

If we could hook up a generator to not just Ronald Reagan but also George Kennan, George Marshall, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and even Jimmy Carter, we'd probably be able to supply a significant portion of the nation's electrical power.

Bite your tongue! Carter's still with us, much to LJ's chagrin. 8-)

Hey, I'm glad Carter's still alive...

As I said before, I ain't looking forward to the week of wall-to-wall tributes to him on cable news that accompany the death of any President nowadays (even one with so little to praise as Carter...They could cover all the nice things worth saying about him in 30 seconds and then go back to covering the latest developments in Russiagate, but that's not what will happen. Especially since most of the reporters in the national mainstream media are so besmitten of the nasty little man.)

So I certainly don't wish him dead; the media genuflection display that will accompany his death will be absolutely nauseating...

If you think that will be nauseating, just keep in mind that at some point in time The Big Cheeto will become former-POTUS Trump.  Unless he is dragged out of the Oval Office, totally disgraced and in handcuffs and ankle shackles (now there's a scene I'd like to see!), you've got to wonder just how big a white-wash job the media will do with him when the time comes that he meets his maker.

Richard Nixon had a very dignified send off, (Every living former President attended the service; it was the largest public assembly of Presidents in history. Then current President Clinton delivered a very nice eulogy)

But at least Mr. Nixon had the good grace to decline the full-dress state funeral to which he was legally entitled, even after resigning...

No lying in state in The Capitol Rotunda, no horse drawn carriage carrying his coffin in a procession down Pennsylvania Ave, no riderless horse with the boots in backwards in the stirrups, etc....

Il Boobce, by contrast, will no doubt insist on the most lavish and tastelessly ostentatious funeral extravaganza imaginable, even if he's forced to resign...

Because that's just how he rolls...
