Hypocrisy Takes 2020 By Storm

Back early in the year, I declared this year would be the year of hypocrisy. Well, that may not be that big of a prediction. But I didn’t know what was going to happen, it was simply based on the trajectory of politics at the time. You could read those posts here and here.

Remember we were having the impeachment over a phone call and quid pro-quo Joe was only a glimmer on the political stage. But he had a quid pro-quo with Ukraine and boasted about it. Since then, it has been worse than anything I could have thought.

Hypocrisy is everywhere, from the gov in California to the Speaker of the House, to the results of the 2020 election. So hypocrisy reigned supreme in everything. It seems a safe bet in most any year to call it a year of hypocrisy. In September, I revised the prediction to the year of multi-tasking. That is sort of self-explanatory. Indeed the people were doing more than one thing and juggling many things at once. That was true too.

But then hypocrisy busted through the finish line with ease. Of course this is all only my opinion – as they say those can vary. The sheer hypocrisy this year should be evident.

Impeachment of a president when they themselves should have been impeached. With everything we found out, there was no way to hide all they had done to Trump or to the people. But here they were only impeaching a president they claimed was never legitimate anyway. And actually it was Joe Biden who had done exactly what they were accusing Trump of doing. Then came Nancy Pelosi devoutly tearing up the President’s speech in front of us. Supposedly denying his legitimacy. Though her credibility was shredded.

Yet at the very time they were doing this, a pandemic from hell was bearing down on the US. They poo-poohed it as a real threat. Pelosi and Health Dept officials in NY both took to public pronouncements that COVID was defacto DOA – dead on arrival — in the US.

Months later they switched rhetoric to the president was not doing enough to prevent it. Then they started the gloomy prognosticating on how bad it was, while blaming Trump. Incidentally, has anyone seen another country blame its leader for COVID_19?

There was also the Cuomo version of events. First he denied COVID was a problem outside a normal flu. Then he blamed Trump for everything as he himself enacted orders to send COVID into nursing homes. He went from blaming Trump to then arguing that the virus did not come from China, but from Europe. Anyone watching him give his daily briefings was curious what new thing he would say each day to contradict himself.

Cuomo refused to stop travel from NYC at the hiight of the virus, yet later on would swing to blocking people from coming to NYC. He demanded new hospitals be erected, including putting a ship in the harbor, but he never used them.

And of course one has to add that meanwhile dealing with the pandemic, Cuomo was writing a book on how well he dealt with the pandemic.But it should be called the definitive book of hypocrisy, by the defining hypocrite of the era.

On and on it has gone. Yes, hypocrisy is putting in a very strong finish to the year.

Before, election Democrats railed about post offices being a den of conspiracy against a fair election. They singled out the Post Master General. After election, what problems?
Democrats had scrutinized Dominion and its software as a threat to democracy. Now, what problem? Democrats said the only hope to end the virus was a vaccine. Now, on approval, it is not the be all end all. Maybe it should wait for Biden?

Then of course Democrat lawmakers issued their lockdown procedures, sometimes just before going out to violate the orders themselves. Then they feigned apologies that they are sorry. But are they? Austin’s mayor broadcasted lockdown orders from Mexico.

First they told us masks were unnecessary and even put you at risk. Now they demand you wear them. Vaccine was the bomb until it came out, then Democrats said they would refuse to take accept it because it came out under Trump.

They kept big box stores open but smaller businesses had to be shut or they pulled their business license. But they decided liquor stores could be essential businesses.

What they deemed essential or non-essential was entirely subjective. Then they said science was king, but none of the economy shutdown was science at all.

And let us not forget the Hydroxychloroquine fiasco. Usage of it was blocked. They said it could kill you. They managed to ban a cheap drug with promising, effective results. Then they called us conspiracy theorists.

The FDA said (6/15/20): “the known and potential benefits of CQ and HCQ no longer outweigh the known and potential risks for the authorized use.”

Of course one of the worst things was politicizing a pandemic that does not respect any politics. They told us the rights to protest were paramount over any lockdown restrictions. Millions of people marched in the streets while churches had to remain closed on orders from the state. Violators were heavily fined, even jailed. Meanwhile they set ‘no bail’ legislation for criminals, essentially turning them loose after arrest.

Violence even superseded any health restrictions. “Mostly peaceful protests” became a euphemism for riots, violence and looting for the year.

Police shootings or attacks were frequently ignored as individual incidents of police misconduct were panned across the country, 24/7. Abc said “police officers killed surge 28%” in 2020, “and some point to civil unrest and those looking to exploit it.”

And the answer for this phenomena and numbers of police attacks? Wait for it… abolish or defund the police. Some areas acted on these hypocritical demands to cut police funding.

But later on, Democrats claimed they did not want to defund the police as we said they did. They invented the term re-imagine police. They claimed Dems did not call for “defunding.”

Democrats said Donald J Trump was out to steal the election, then they proceeded to have the worst fraud-plagued election in history. All justified of course. Then they called it the smoothest election in modern history.

They even argued that fraud may have been present but it was not enough to change the results of the election. Excuse me, but that was the entire purpose for it. Enough?

Democrats wanted to employ the 25th amendment against Trump claiming he was not psychologically fit or capable of holding the office. But then along came Joe Biden, who they claimed would be the most competent president for America, excellently qualified.

Indeed Democrats spent four long, miserable years claiming Trump was illegitimate and that the election was rigged in favor of Trump. Then they proceeded to create the most rigged election in history from rule changes right through Election Day. But nothing to see here, people, it was a superb election. We were called conspiracists.

So now the candidate who did not campaign, staying in his basement bunker, happened to get more votes than any presidential candidate in history? 13 million more than Obama.

They claimed Antifa was not a threat, and Joe Biden declared it an idea – not an actual organization of terror and crime. So Pelosi said Trump and Republicans were “enemies of the state”  by scaring people from voting. Then the press ignored her outrageous claim  after they complained that Trump labeled press/media enemies of the people.

Let’s remember that Pelosi declined a 1.8 trillion dollar aid package offer. Then she accepted a 900 billion dollar package calling it a success because now we have a new president. She told a reporter that the earlier negotiation was not a failure, on her part, but is why they got here. So getting a new president was her real objective? Pelosi got a professional blowout in a closed salon, then said she was set up by the owner.

Yes, after years of not accepting Hillary’s failure, media demands Trump accept the fraud election. Then they have the nerve to say that no time in history was there ever a president and election labeled illegitimate. (David Gergen fielded that whopper on CNN)

But just add another that Democrats wanted the entire economy to be shut down by executive action. Then they claimed that Trump ruined the economy. They demanded presidential action, then they claimed states rights. But later they claimed Trump failed to issue a federal mandate. Cuomo threatened a federal mandate would incite civil war.

There was so much more that could be said about this stellar year of hypocrisy.

Let It Rip or Rip It Up

I’m not sure how other people measure their disgust on the sliding scale but I know how I qualify my own. It has only been tested in recent events.

This week I had a short phone conversation with an acquaintance I’ve known for years. Everything was fine until at the end the person said I just hope we can do what we need to do not to re-elect this guy and he has to be voted out of office. That’s it, nothing about who else was running. Just throw Trump out of the White House.

I restrained from politics with this person, as I always have. It’s pointless. However, I could not resist suggesting, “careful what you wish for.” What do you mean” came a predictable response. I said “that alternative could be much worse.” So the conversation ended on that note with the person wondering what it meant. I thought it was fairly clear.

But isn’t that the point? They never consider alternatives or anything else for that matter. They know what they want. I could say what I want, too, but what good does that do?

That is the way it is with many people. No reasoned approach on what gets them to their conclusion. You can’t really have a dialogue with that. So I decided maybe I would put it in writing rather than waste my time. It is clear the person did not want to hear opposition.

It reminds me of the cancel culture. All they know is they want someone out, or marginalized from society. Somehow that goal fits their agenda and satisfies them. What a horrible way to view things, just cancel anything you don’t like or agree with.

Where does that power come from? It is part of mob mentality, meaning their voice and desire outweighs you or your views. And in the end, they cannot tolerate your view, belief or whatever – or you personally. It must go.

Now with the presidential race, they want to go backward and return to some euphoric Obama-Biden days. But the rest of us made it through and survived those years.

No, it was not easy.That was no picnic.

But we didn’t have a coup against the sitting president; no special counsel investigation of him; no one raking over of all his personal records; no public boycotts of anything to do with him; we didn’t prevent him from doing the job. And there was no impeachment designed and plotted from day one to oust him from office.

No riots and burning buildings with tens of thousands of decoys marching in the street. No attacks on Obama supporters. No band of people within government secretly working to undermine Obama’s administration. No courts lodging edicts to stop him. No press and media attacking him and Biden nonstop to delegitimize his election or presidency.

No sedition in the form of “resistance” to overthrow him.. No debate about the use of the 25th amendment to have him removed. No one telling people to “get in their faces” of Obama supporters, create a crowd and tell them they are not welcome in public.

No constant calls for impeachment from house members. No ripping up his State of the Union Speech in Congress. No games about preventing him from giving his SOTUS. No power plays to remove powers of the Constitutional presidency. No FBI executing phony FISA warrants and spying on him as a candidate and then as president. No surveillance of Obama’s team, and to frame him as a traitor to America.

No official of the DOJ refusing to follow and enforce executive orders or laws. No agenda to prevent President Obama from seeking or hiring people. No secretly telling other countries not to cooperate or work with the sitting president. No conspiring against him. No undermining of Obama as commander-in-chief within the military or Pentagon – or in the ranks. No working to undermine US military objectives by officials or former diplomats.

That would be only a starting point of the differences and what we endured for eight years as opposed to what the Left does now. They had their chance, wasn’t it enough?

Division: stick a fork in it or just stick it

My, time really flies or does it? This week should tell anyone all they need to know about the current situation. Desperation and destitute.

• The Super Bowl Sunday
• Iowa caucuses go rogue.(results not clear till Friday)
• Impeachment closing arguments.
• State of the Union address
• Pelosi’s meltdown and Democrats’ protest
• Statements and impeachment vote in the Senate
• Trump acquitted on articles of impeachment
• Prayer Breakfast
• Thursday, Trump thanks supporters and outlines this full-term coup
• Friday clean out the NSC in White House (Vindman brothers fired)

And by Friday afternoon, Rep Debbie Dingell told CNN how divided we’ve become and that we need to unify the country. She said social media was so polarized and hostile.

But they just impeached and then tried to remove the president in a trial literally 2 days before. Now they’re lecturing us on unity? See a pattern here? Cause and effect.

The most divisive thing they could do to the country. How’s that for chutzpah?

They spent 3 and 1/2 years investigating the president and ripping the country apart — by overturning an election and rigging the next one, trying to get Trump off the ballot. Abolish the will of the voters. Now they want to complain about division. Right on schedule.

Give me a break!

But that is why you can never believe a thing Democrats say!
It is usually the opposite. All lies.

Welcome to the Grand TZ of Twilight Zones

In a strange and sinister plot, Democrats claim to be saving democracy while trying to destroy the Republic that made it possible.

They make a mockery of the very elections they claim to be protecting. With every chant about cheating in the election, they say the election and the results will be poisoned if Trump is allowed to stay in it. So cheat the election by impeachment.

These are people who did not accept the results of the last election hell bent on denying the results of the next one, before the first vote is even cast.

Where are you Rod Sterling? We have just entered the TZ of Twilight Zones. Chris Coons tells a CNN reporter that he thought Adam Schiff’s closing argument – to be generous – was “compelling and very forceful.”

It is a coup. They generally are forceful.

Democrats responded to the defense argument that it is an election year with months before an election, when people will decide. They claim this argument is ridiculous that you can’t impeach a president before an election. In fact, they say, the pending election is the reason he must be impeached and thrown out of office.

Rod, we could use you! Of course Democrats’ arguments sound forceful; it’s a coup!

Full-Court Press

I made the case a few days ago about the personal dichotomy but it goes much larger than that. In this vein you have a positive outlook while there is a volcano of negativity surrounding you constantly. It is the feeling of being bombarded from everywhere by constant negativity no matter what good you see happening. Wonder why?

Meanwhile, the left and its media comrades bash the president on every word they can. What he does in his policies not as much. Most of his policies have had positive outcomes and the fruits are all around us, for anyone who wants to see them. But those never get the attention in the airwaves. Instead we are treated to a cascading critique over every little word he speaks. When Trump zooms in on the fake news, they cry foul and abuse.

Media delivers the goods. They are judge, jury, and executioners — the Full-Court Press.

A perfect example of this playing out was on Don Lemon this week. He had notoriously vile Rick Wilson, Republican turned Republican hater, commenting on the nature of Trump and his supporters. Wilson turned it into a mockery diatribe of dumb, redneck supporters who succumbed to Trump’s every word and command. Lemon busted out laughing to the point of being out of control like it was a comedy show. So they all had a barrel of laughs at the expense of mocking Trump voters.

The following night, Don Lemon’s focus of attack was at Trump for picking on the media. How cruel it was. Press is again the biggest victim. It’s a little hard to feel sorrow for the villainous media when they attack people for voting a certain way.

But when they play that victim card, they demand everyone’s sympathy. And they demand your anger is turned to blame Trump and his nefarious supporters. It’s our fault. How can media be the real victims when they regularly attack voters in prime time?

Never mind the voters and people across the country they insult every day. This creates a nice flashpoint every time they choose to ignite it. In typical faux fashion, Lemon came on the next night, before playing the victim card, claiming he was not laughing at the people but at the joke. But the entire joke was us and the punch line was very clear…. us.

Even though the House Managers put on their slipshod impeachment trial in the Senate, the media treated it with the solemn certitude of a State funeral, complete with nonstop coverage and commentary. But it was a joke. The whole thing was like a comedy sketch with no off ramp that eventually has to end. Everyone knows it but can’t find an exit.

And when it did end, with the predictable results, they poo-poohed their own play as a dismal failure because it did not achieve the desired end. We could have told them that. But instead of blaming their own lousy script and collective performance, they lashed out by attacking the audience for failing to deliver success to them.

No one could convince them their work was only a mockery of the process; they refused to listen. So they created a narrative in the House that didn’t sell in the Senate — and they even went about that deviously. They still want you to see them all as victims.

Did they really think they could sell their creation on perception and glitter? Fool’s gold.

Culture Caldron

Every so often one has to reflect and do a little culture check, the crazier things get.

Leave it to Trump, in one statement, to frame the entire issue in a campaign speech.

From a Des Moines, IA rally, Trump said something like “we are living in the greatest years now in history…. and I just got impeached. Can you believe it?” He got laughs and cheers. They got it.

Think about that analogy a minute. So finally, the economy is really on the upswing, opportunities and wages are up. There are a lot of good things happening.

At the very same time, you look what is happening around you and you can’t help wondering what has gone wrong? I mean the crazy things happening with the anger toward Trump and his supporters. People are desperate to take him down.

Government is running amuck in the Swamp fighting back. Deep state is in a fever pitch.

Yet there are plenty of good things on the horizon, life is good compared to the last ten years. Or it should be. What is with all the mixed signals aimed at us?

On one hand, things are finally improving that we’ve only hoped for over the years. But it is all dampened by this cultural turmoil over everything.

Then we’re told the world only has a few years left. Is it down to the countdown yet? Everything is rotten if you listen to these triggered, crazed people. So the secular world is telling us we are on the verge of apocalypse. Now that is rich, coming from that crowd.

Any joy you should feel is bombarded daily by this message of doom and gloom from Democrats and media. There is so much pent up hostility in them that you wonder if they are living in the same world you are, and seeing the same things?

It’s kind of like Trump, who wins the election only to have them try everything to throw him out. But he won’t go and neither will we. Why should we have to?

What’s wrong with this picture? It is a real dichotomy.

On one hand, there should be plenty to be happy about but the last thing they all want you to be is happy. They really try to make that a challenge.

It seems like Democrats’ job is to make mud pies out of all the good things or destroy them. And they have their hands full trying on that mission.

Here are you and I with everyone else, sitting smack in the middle of this whirlwind of discontent. Plus many of these dissatisfied people believe socialism is a panacea that will take all their worries away. Crazy.

If they can believe in some socialist utopia, then they need help. (not the kind they want)

They just seem to want to bring everyone else down to their misery. It looks like we are the ones who have to live and deal with it because it doesn’t seem to matter to them.

So in a crazy way, Trump is right. Life is great, they want to impeach him and throw him out. Ha ha, as if that would fix any of their problems!

Judgment Call

Time for a judgment call on the state of impeachment sham. That is on the common perceptions of some notable people.

I’m not buying the Andrew McCarthy summation or drinking that juice. He now suggests on Fox that even if you assume the conduct in question happened, it does not rise even close to the level of impeachment.

Then he asserts it is bad behavior etc. or improper but it is not impeachable.

I don’t agree with most of that. Assuming the conduct of what is being described, and that is a stretch, it is not necessarily “bad” conduct. Controversial – yes. But bad? No. It sure is nowhere in the impeachment field. I don’t qualify asking for an investigation or looking into possible corruption as bad or malicious behavior.

Remember, Andrew McCarthy is also the one who stated at the onset of Russia fever that with those accusations there would have been enough grounds to open an investigation and it would bear out innocence. But worth investigating was the verdict.

No, there were not grounds for that investigation. It was a cooked up scheme to force an investigation – and subsequent coup. Now he says, just based on the numerous facts we know, it would be wrong or bad behavior to ask a foreign government to look into it.

Hogwash.

Right Ring | Bullright

Extortion of Process

Let me explain just one part of how the Democrats plan to use the impeachment process to serve their political ends. You know the masters of scamming the process.

It goes like this, as described by one Democrat Senator to CNN: first the Democrats put on their case. Then president’s team puts on the president’s defense.

But unlike in a regular trial, there is no opportunity for the House Managers’ rebuttal to Trump’s defense. What to do? Then the questions period closes out the process.

So — this is the great part — according to the Senator, Democrat Senators will use their super nifty questions period that follows to do that partisan rebuttal work against Trump. What part of this process is not politicized, hedged and schemed by Democrats?

And you know what that will look like. All the activist Democrats, House Managers and Senators, will operate at peak collective strength, using their corrupted and highly partisan process for maximum political benefit. All hands on the coup deck.

Yet all the while they chant the words “Trump is cheating in the next election.” You cannot even trust the results of the 2020 election with Trump in it. Wow, now they’re already undermining the next election 9 months ahead of it. Only to save quid-pro-quo Joe.

Our elections are very frail if just the inclusion of Donald Trump can destroy them.

After all they don’t care about the amount of damage they do to the country. not at all. The only thing that matters is their political objectives. Come hell or high water….and it will.

Last Word Against Impeachment

The speech not given. A parting shot.

Madam Speaker, I rise at this time to voice my opposition to this impeachment sham.

Irony is all around this sham. It is a dark irony.

I find great irony in the fact that the same body with the power to declare war was also given the power to impeach a sitting president, among its other solemn duties.

What if they use all those other powers designated to Congress the same way they are using this power to impeach? Rush to impeach. Fundraisers, storm the gates of the capitol. Impeachment rallies. “Impeach the MF-er!” What if the same hyper-partisanship was used in a rabid rush to war? Even for Democrats, this a new low.

Future voters, preserve our democracy, voting for children and posterity are their talking points. Nothing is further from the truth.

Do they tell their children in future generations that this was the day they stood up to overturn the election of the people? This was the day they had to act to subvert the will of the people. “We had to act.” This was the day the results of an election no longer mattered.

This was the opening salvo in the war on democracy.

You hear the same old tired Democrat platitudes “what is he hiding?”…”what is he afraid of?” Now it is time to ask them the same questions.

What are they afraid of…. what are they hiding? They are trying to hide this charade of a coup they’ve orchestrated and been engaged in since even before this president took his oath of office and assumed the office.

What they are afraid of is the will of the people. They keep on polling with the same results. Now they’ve just decided to go to war with democracy.

They are afraid the same president will be reelected again in 2020. This is only a partisan political hit job, like all the rest of their long drawn out plot, to either unseat the president or prevent him from getting reelected. So they’ve gone to war against democracy, again.

I find it ironic too that the organization founded in the aftermath of President Clinton’s impeachment screaming to “Move On” is the same group now organizing rallies lobbying the left to impeach this president. Isn’t that rich?

So Move On runs to the street organizing rallies with chants of “no one is above the law. The president is not above the law.” But what law; what law are they talking about?

Protecting democracy? They strategized this moment since the last presidential election to subvert democracy. Less than one year before the next election, they must take it out of the hands of the people to let them know Congress not the people will pick the president.

“We must act,” they say. They must act to prevent the president from using his power and getting reelected in 2020. They’ve moved up the date of the election to now.

And they trying to shroud this act of democratic defiance in an excuse that they are doing this for the people, to “protect democracy.” That they are doing it for national security? The only threat to our national security is this attempt to subvert the will of the people.

We all watched for years in the UK as countless lawmakers tried to tell people their votes didn’t matter. They do the same thing here.

But ask yourself, what are Democrats afraid of? What are they trying to hide? The answer is simple, they are afraid of we the people, us. They are hiding their entire anti-democratic agenda against the American people. They are hiding their coup and its fruition.

In fact, everything they have done is a part of the cover up for what Obama and our government did to interfere in the last election. Sure, they failed to prevent Trump from winning but they aren’t done. That cover up for what they did continues.

It is not about what did they know and when did they know it? They have known it all along. They were complicit in the biggest attack on our democracy in history, a bloodless coup. When? They started it from before he was even elected. They were so deep in it by election that even if they wanted to, they could not have stopped. It is a war against democracy. They planted the seeds, fertilized it, then weeded out anything that stood in their way of reaping the rewards of overthrowing the president. (by any means)

Hyper-politics and policy disagreements should not be the cause for impeachment.

But like its power to declare war, once used you cannot put that Genie back in the bottle. You can shout “we didn’t come here to impeach” from the roof of the Capitol. It doesn’t matter. You invoked it while feigning some Churchillian passion as you attempt to overturn an election. This is not what democracy looks like!

Democrats worry about foreign influence in elections. Say hello to your friend, Ukraine.

And so the Forgotten Man limps on still… in an all too real metaphor.

 

I yield back….

Slipshod Impeachment Phraseology

Phrases for slipshod impeachment echo through congress after weeks of impeachment inquiry. Then get repeated with stunning frequency

Democrats bandied about catch phrases in weeks of impeachment inquiry. Some are just cute and others even stupid. Here are a few of the classic gems or their paraphrases:

“We must save our democracy.”
“We must impeach the president to protect the 2020 election.”
“It’s about interference in our elections”
“We are defending the Constitution.”
“No one is above the law.” (what law?)
“This is not a rush to judgment, it is a rush to justice.”
“We must protect our national security and preserve our democracy.”
(a little late on that one)
We must impeach him for what he might do. We cannot take that chance.

But the cakemaker of them all is this one. First, adorn it with sober, somber, solemn, prayerful mood music. Then, self-righteously, they claim:

“None of us came here to impeach the president.”
“None of us came to Congress just to impeach this president.”

Wrong. Yes they did.

They all came there to impeach the president and that is what they are doing. Whatever reasons they thought or said they came to Congress for are in the past. Memo to Dems:

You are there now to impeach the president. So while you can claim that wasn’t your original intent, (even if it was true) you were hijacked once there into that agenda.

In fact, it is now your only objective. Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler have determined the most important priority for this congress and before next election is to impeach the president.

So those pitiful words “I didn’t come here to impeach the president” ring so hollow after we’ve all seen the impeachment road show. Rides available daily.

Even one congressman, Hank Johnson, said representatives should be willing to impeach the president even if it means losing their elections. Sacrifice themselves. He said he would gladly impeach the president if it cost him his seat, and so should everyone else.

Impeachment fever, once they have it they can never turn back.

(*Prof. Jonathan Turley referred to it as slipshod impeachment in his testimony.)

Here and Now in Whateverland

In asking serious questions, one has to be prepared for the inevitable: people answering those questions armed with their own opinions like stilettos. If one is really interested in what people think, it could be a rewarding even educational exercise.

Recently, Charlie Daniels had a column laying out particular grievances on impeachment fever running wild, then asked a series of questions. That is always a good format. Asking questions can be a tool on a blog. It’s nice to care what others think.

However, what it really does is open the door for naysayers and critics to offer pungent rebukes from their lofty perches. That is what happened with Charlie’s Soap Box piece. Maybe no more critics than usual though a bit more descriptive than usual. One suggested he was now a former fan.

I’m sure Charlie was ready for that reaction when he posed the questions. The questions were important and consequential. But it showed there are enough people out there who will fully embrace any criticism of Trump, and who see — in their minds anyway — lots of reasons to impeach our 45th president.

But here we are with impeachers having their way. They were eager for this moment from the beginning. It could not come fast enough for them and now it is finally here.

Trump haters will jump at any chance to express their discontent with him. Even Christmas decorations have become a symbol of their disdain for the Trump family. And they don’t despise just him but the entire family. At one impeachment hearing, a Stanford professor made a rotten joke using Trump’s son Baron’s name. She later apologized only while demanding an apology from Trump.

Congress subpoenaed all Trump family financial documents from Deutsche Bank prompting Ginsburg to slap a stay on it until SCOTUS can hold a vote. Nothing seems off limits to these critics. Hopefully SCOTUS will provide clarity on the matter and for future presidents. Should Congress have unbridled power to impound any personal documents from a sitting president it wants? That can hardly be a good thing or precedent for the future. What about Barry Soetoro having all his personal records sealed? But that was not a problem for the Democrats. Plus, Trump documents have a habit of leaking.

That deep document dive brings the issue into focus. What do Democrats care about future precedents they are setting, both on impeachment and records? They don’t. So this is what I call the politics of here and now — the only thing they care about. As if the future will take care of itself regardless what they do today, with little or no effect on the future. But that is not the case. They don’t care. Nor do they really care what effect it has.

The politics of “here an now” determine now is everything, the future is of no concern. Whatever happens as a result is of no consequence and certainly will not matter later to them. Now is where they live, in hatred, but it is also the incubator for the future. Democrats and incubators don’t get along so well. If they can believe in aborting a baby in the 9th month, then they will do just about anything out of convenience for the moment.

Instead, they will try to shift blame and the argument back on Trump. But it is not him setting the future precedent here. Democrats are oblivious to our posterity and future. Rather than impeachment being caused by a scandal, impeachment has become the scandal. And now investigating corruption becomes an impeachable offense.

Subsequently, any defense of President Trump is then seen as incompetence, even legal malpractice, such as with Professor  Jonathan Turley delivering a defense against impeaching Trump.  He was the outlier to the tar and feather scholars.

Think about the other three witnesses. All tenured professors from Ivory Towered institutions calling on impeaching and removing a president at the drop of a hat.

“Slipshod impeachment” is the tonic, but what is the illness?

Shades of Impeachment Politics

When Nancy Pelosi took their spin-filled deceitful vote over the impeachment process, there were two standout Democrats who disagreed and voted against it.

(CNN) “Reps. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota both voted “nay” on the historic resolution.”

Post Schiff Show, one Democrat came out to say she does not support impeachment. It was Michigan Rep Brenda Lawrence. She would prefer a censure of some kind.

Fox News reports:

“”We are so close to an election,” Lawrence said Sunday on a Michigan radio program, noting that Trump stands little chance of being convicted by the GOP-controlled Senate. “I will tell you, sitting here knowing how divided this country is, I don’t see the value of taking him out of office. But I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable. It’s in violation of the oath of office of a president of the United States, and we have to be clear that you cannot use your power of the presidency to withhold funds to get a foreign country to investigate an American citizen for your own personal gain. There’s no way around that.”

Lawrence continued: “I want him censured. I want it on the record that the House of Representatives did their job and they told this president and any president coming behind him that this is unacceptable behavior and, under our Constitution, we will not allow it. … I am a Democrat, but I am an independent United States of America citizen.””

But that is just it, isn’t it? That demonstrates what is wrong with this whole process. If Democrats in the House majority found something objectionable, there are many ways to handle that disagreement. Censure is one. I don’t agree with it, yet it’s a possibility.

They could have done a basic resolution condemning what he did. Face it, they don’t like so much of what he does. A vote and resolution would still be on the record. They couldn’t do that or anything else. No. They had to reach for the ultimate: to impeach Trump.

They were set on doing that before he took office. They were determined to impeach him, or try, since he came into office. They were obsessed by it.

If Pelosi really cared about her legacy then she has to realize it goes up in flames with such a divisive move as impeachment. Especially when her majority did nothing else in the year. Nothing for the people, just impeach their president. And on the eve of an election.

Then send articles of impeachment, which they were determined to do, over to the Senate and airdrop the highly partisan maneuver right into the middle of a presidential election.

So Speaker Pelosi and 2020 will go down in the books as the year Democrats bet their entire legacy, and a presidential election, on impeachment. The two shall forever be joined – though both are about the same thing. It is pure election politics and about overturning the results of the last one. Democrats never looked so petty or radical as now.

And that shall be Democrats’ legacy, and Pelosi’s legacy as speaker.

Now Democrats are resolved even in their blue strongholds, knowing if Trump is not removed from office, to carry out their impeachment distraction anyway. They don’t care.

Happy Thanksgiving, America, enjoy that turkey… they are impeaching your president.

Dems Had Their Cake And Impeachment Too

The Democrats have had their way and now an impeachment inquiry too. (I don’t know why they call it an inquiry, it is an impeachment) I trust anyone seeing this has likely seen Mark Levin on Fox lay out his excellent summary of the show trial.over Ukraine – or faux trial. So I won’t try to relate it all here.

Just that Levin blew a hole in Democrats’ partisan prosecution the size of the Titanic. He walked through the testimonies that somehow did not add up to any quid pro quo, let alone the bribery they now assert happened. And all their hearsay crapola.

Well, anyone who watched any of the so-called “required” American Impeachment viewing saw the deflation of their entire argument case against President Trump.

But leave it to Levin to drive the case home. He said stunningly that Obama did nothing as former President Poroshenko pleaded with him for arms against Russia’s invasion and aggression. Surely, Obama happy to accommodate the requests? No, he refused in 2014 and throughout to provide weapons. Among Democrat allies, no one held his or Joe’s feet to the Ukrainian fire.

And that happened, too, as Russia was cranking up its meddling campaign in our 2016 election. Well, was Obama actively opposing that Russian political interference? No, he wasn’t. Intelligence was lobbying him, with other countries, to do something. MIA.

Then Joe was delegated to handle Ukraine. (Obama kept his hands clean yet was his administration’s position) Joe does the famous quid proquo threat when the prosecutor was on Burisma, while his son was on the board. Injecting, “call Obama and ask him.”

Funny about that: now the word Burisma is suddenly a synonym for Joe Biden or Biden investigation. Any mention of Burisma is an instant political attack on Joe Biden. How do Democrats do this shit, and get away with it? Joe was VP at the time, not close to running. Yet he is somehow immune from investigation or criticism. Reminds me of Hillary too.

So Democrats had their cake, boy did they. When at the time we were under cyber interference from Russia, which we knew, Obama was refusing aid to Ukraine. This actually helped empower Russia’s aggression. Even at the same time, Ukraine officials were actively involved in opposing Trump. And there was collusion between Ukraine, the DNC, and the administration.

But there is more in the way of facts. ISIS got more arms and equipment from Obama’s administration than Ukraine. ISIS got weaponry from US om Obama’s watch. And remember the 100’s of millions of lost aid in Iraq. (or billions) In fact, Obama armed Libyan rebels more than Ukraine. Leading up to what? Benghazi.

Democrats have played these shell games and now want to blame Trump for everything. In fact, so impeach him for trying to withhold aid from Ukraine. He only wanted that corruption investigated as required by law. Was Joe Biden part of that past corruption? That is not our fault. Running for president does not whitewash what he did.

Then it goes further. Biden does an interview with CNN where he was asked about Lindsey Graham’s doc request from State Dep. on his Ukraine operation. Joe admits he is angry and says Lindsey is going to regret doing this. Now he threatens Lindsey Graham, chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, which also will handle the impeachment.

Then Joe Biden suggested of course Trump should be pushed aside for being totally corrupt. Get that? So now the new definition of corruption is investigating corruption.

So it appears Democrats have had their way all along, playing election politics, and now are having their impeachment too. But they are using it in their political dirt-digging operation. They are doing Joey’s and DNC’s dirty work for him.(much like 2016) And he is only too happy to receive the help. What a tangled web.

Of course Joe Biden’s other big problem is that he has to campaign. He doesn’t think he should have to do that. Sounds familiar. The government should help him.

Then there are still questions as to what Sen. Lindsey Graham will do. Are we seeing another faux investigation we have become so used to getting? Here’s an interview with Graham for his opinion of Biden. It’s very descriptive. I smell a soap opera theme.

Impeachment Ground Zero: narratives and lies

A cartoon needs to be drawn of today’s events, and the caption should read

“This is your government on politics.”

In the media, historian Jon Meacham on MSNBC certified that Republicans are a Jonestown Cult. Pelosi has called Trump an imposter. Media are far from finished on this day of revision and government radicalized by politics – made to MSNBC’s order.

Fiona Hill, another Dem star witness, posits how it must be impossible for two nations to interfere or meddle in our elections at the same time. So the Russian hoax theme is on full display. And the people that push it are again on the world stage.

Somewhere in the near background of Moscow, is a laughing Putin that Democrats are impeaching Trump over Ukraine. He couldn’t have written a better script.

Speaking of scripts and writers, Democrats’ lousy drama is bad enough but their screenwriting is even worse.

Theatrical Enigma: impeachment goes public

This impeachment is an exercise in performance art. It is theater of the absurd: with all the drama, casting, innuendo, stage signals, deception and illusions of reality.

Actually, I only wish it was a satire and then it would be a spectacular performance. You have the king’s white-robed judge ruling all ceremonies, functioning to dictate over and silence any mitigating evidence or questions.

There is no patience for truth and context but only the dramatic effects. The whistleblower who started it all shall not be discussed, contrary to the opening scene of outrage. He shall never be named.

We shall not speak of the origination of the script where it all began. The plot is a mystery, but do play along as lead characters develop endless possibilities out of thin air, on a moment’s notice. Pay no attention to leading questions meant to deceive the audience.

But the real irony, which becomes clear midway, is that by Act II you the audience are the real victims with no way out. Meanwhile, all along, other narratives are being developed behind the curtain out of sight of the defenseless audience — who only want it to end.

The “I” word that never could be mentioned under the last administration is at the center in every conversation about this one. However, the audience itself is the culprit, victim, villain and the number one target in the plot who must be dealt with.

Impeachment Plan In The Works

So the nutso Left has a brilliant plan? Not exactly, this comes from the RINO, Never Trump nuts. But what’s the real difference, anyway?

Mission: Remove Trump from office
Plan: Force a secret vote in the Senate impeachment trial

Yeah, that ought to work! 😂

Never Trump strategist outlines plan to remove Trump by secret vote

by Tim Pearce | November 12, 2019 | Washington Examiner

A former adviser to President George W. Bush has proposed a way for Senate Republicans to remove President Trump from office while avoiding accountability from angry Republican voters.

Juleanna Glover is a veteran Washington hostess, lobbyist, and strategist who has worked on the staffs of Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Glover also advised Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain during his 2008 presidential run.

Glover, 50, a longtime Trump critic who supported independent candidate Evan McMullin in 2016, proposed a strategy for Senate Republicans to oust Trump should the House follow through with impeaching the president. In an article for Politico, Glover wrote that a handful of outgoing Republicans could take all the political heat and force the Senate to adopt a secret vote on the articles of impeachment passed in the House.

“Some might say transparency in congressional deliberations and votes is inviolable, and it’s true that none of the previous Senate impeachments have been conducted via secret ballot,” she said.

“But the Senate’s role in an impeachment is analogous to a U.S. jury, where secret ballots are often used,” Glover continued. “When Electoral College gridlock has resulted in the House picking the president — the House elected Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824 — that vote has been secret. And, of course, when citizens vote for president, they do so in private.”

Right, so how many millions of Americans are you trying to piss off? Or only the ones who voted for Trump? Your plan is brilliant if you want a successful coup against the POTUS. This from a former Busher. So undermine the presidency for all future.

Sounds like a plan. But then why even bother having a trial at all? Why not just throw him out of office without one? Since there never is any accountability — for years at least — of Senators and Congress, let’s just keep that shutout going.

Impeachment Irony

I’m sorry, Democrats, but you want to impeach President Trump over Ukraine. You could hardly ask for more foreign interference in elections and the politicization of government or foreign policy than that.

Yeah, that looks like Ukraine is the most important thing to voters and a reason to try to overturn an election. What they are really trying to impeach is the will of the people.

Then Democrats can’t even conduct their DNC impeachment on any honored process established over decades. Who needs to follow established procedures?

Sure, the Constitution says it right there: The president can be removed “on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors [*or foreign communication Congress finds objectionable].” — there revision complete.

How many ways can Democrats be offended?

The Democrats reveal their true nature every time they complain about something. It doesn’t matter what it is because everything offends them, in some way.

Trump makes a statement or a tweet and whaaaaah! It’s like a million babies crying all at once. Trump uses the word lynching and whoa, it is national headlines. “How dare he! He should never ever have used that word… THAT WORD!!”

Trump makes a phone call to Ukraine, all the sirens go off and the whistle blowers come out in force. He said what? Sure, it’s impeachable because Trump said it. In fact, just admit it that anything Trump says is impeachable.

He calls for withdrawing troops from Syria and even former Governor Kasich runs out on CNN calling on congress to investigate and get to the bottom of it. Everything is worthy of an investigation too. No, we aren’t in ridiculous season. We are way past that season.

We are now in the season of insanity.

When Trump first came in, Al Green went to the floor and demanded the House start impeachment proceedings. So he called for a vote but he didn’t get their approval vote.

Not to worry, now they just start impeachment inquiry without a vote. Who needs it? We tell Pelosi to call for a vote and she says “we don’t need a vote” for that. We can start an impeachment whenever we like.

Of course that means in any future administration, a congressperson or committee can just start an impeachment and we are on the way. Due process is now no process. Too bad Al Green didn’t know that. What’s to vote on, just do impeachment?

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to be outraged and offended by everything the president does or says. He is in office which is the real offense. And every day he is in that office they grow more offended. If the objective is to drive the Left crazy, we finally succeeded. There is no road back from that. Actually, there is no up or down and no right or wrong anymore. There is only one state, to be perpetually offended by everything.

Addendum: I should have included that early on when Trump said his campaign was under surveillance, the Deep State-defending Dems squealed like pigs. How dare he claim in any way that Obama’s administration conducted surveillance on Trump.

Comey lied telling Trump he was not under surveillance. It then went into Deep State denial and claimed if any surveillance took place, it must have been warranted, legal and necessary. But it was not directed at Trump, and certainly was not political.

Well… that very Deep State of very offended denial.
