Till Trump spouts black blood and rolls fin out.
Timothy Birdnow
The great Victor Davis Hansen seems to be a reader of The Aviary, or at least thinks a lot like The Aviary's editor. Just as I have done in the past, Hansen compares the Democrats to Ahab, and Trump to the Great White Whale Moby Dick.
From National Review:
Back on April 25 I wrote here at The Aviary:
They are never going to let this drop. In fact, when Trump leaves office they will likely pursue him. And what has made them so desperate is that Bob Barr, U.S. Attorney General, has suggested he's going to get to the bottom of this whole sordid affair. The Left cannot have the truth exposed, that they have weaponized the CIA and FBI and are trying to overturn the results of a fair election. There were crimes committed here, but crimes by Hillary, by Barack Obama, by John Brennan, by James Comey, by any number of top officials appointed by Obama. This was and is an attempted coup by the former junta.
They cannot let this go because they cannot allow this to come to light. And it was with the full participation of the American media, who know full well that Hillary Clinton commissioned the Steele Dossier to destroy Trump well before the election night. Trump was spied on for political reasons and no other. The media knows it. But they are desperate to hide their own complicity, and desperate to destroy Trump so as to restore the "natural order" in Washington and return America to the path of internationalism, and Fabian socialism.
They give away the game here:
They plan to pursue Trump tot he ends of the Earth, in this life or the next. They are all Ahab now:
How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him.
[...]
"Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out."

From National Review:
The Democratic establishment has become something like novelist Herman Melville’s phobic Captain Ahab, who became fatally absorbed with chasing his nemesis, the albino whale Moby Dick. The great white whale once ate part of Ahab’s leg, and he demands revenge — even if such a never-ending neurosis leads to the destruction of his ship and crew. So far, Trump seems to have escaped all of their efforts to spear and remove him before the 2020 election. Trump, like Moby Dick, seems a weird force of nature whose wounds from constant attacks only seem to make him more indestructible and his attackers even more obsessed with their prey.

Essentially, legal experts say, Mueller is signaling that Trump could face criminal charges even if he was impeached.

That's a whale of an article, Tim!

And, I will add, the Left's crusade against Trump may well prove to be as useless as Ahab's crusade against Moby Dick. It would be much better for them to get down to the business of legislating, which is what they were hired to do. They might well listen to their leaders, such as Nancy Pelosi (who is no fool) and Cryin' Chuckie Schumer -- oh, but wait, I don't think he's talked about going back to work -- so forget about him.
As far as Aunt Nancy, I think she'd like to get back to work, but she's having to run a daycare facility, keeping Ilhan Omar and that other Muslim nasty in line. And it's not what Nancy signed up for. She COULD help get some work done otherwise.

Agreed, Dana. Pelosi is a bomb thrower but in the end she's an old style machine politician and she wants to accomplish something. She knows that this chasing Trump around the Horn business will, in the end, make people feel good but lead to nothing. As you say, she didn't sign up for that.
But how do you stop the tide from coming in? She's a prisoner of the insane people now composing the base of the Party.
