Meanwhile back at the Senate

George Rebane

In the affairs of Man ignorance trumps plenty every time.

After hearing the Republicans expose all the exculpatory evidence the Dems withheld, their position now is 1) well OK, maybe our evidence against Trump is really not all that “overwhelming”, but 2) the real overwhelming evidence exists and will come out if we can continue the investigation and hear from our list of witnesses.  The president’s defense team’s position is 1) let’s use that overwhelming evidence of yours that took three years to develop, then 2) there’s no need to continue this investigation in the Senate, but if required, we have our own list of witnesses to be called.  Wanna play?

The lamestream media coverage has been all one-sided.  Last week they hung on every word from Schiff, Nadler, et al as they spun out their allegations, presumptions, beliefs, … without a shred of evidence that any of it constituted “high crimes and misdemeanors” or for that matter, any acts historically unique to this president in carrying out his duties.  When the Republican defense took the podium, the major lamestream outlets gave those arguments short shrift, and focused entirely on their new great hope, the presumed testimony of former national security adviser John Bolton.  (Attentive readers know that FN is the only voice of balance and reason against the phalanx of leftwing propaganda continually spewed by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC.  National news is not a level playing field.)

To give credit where due, the lamestream has perfectly performed as the public communications arm of Team Schiff and his House managers.  Nowhere do they inform their viewers that it was not Donald Trump but Joe Biden who pulled off the quid pro quo with Ukraine by threatening to withhold aid if they did not immediately (within six hours) fire the prosecutor investigating Ukraine’s Burisma on whose board sat energy naïf Hunter Biden raking in cartloads of cash.  That Obama-launched corruption was a ripe target for investigation to understand how our aid monies were spent.  But that was a politically incorrect endeavor, and therefore not considered by anyone outside the administration, most certainly not by Team Schiff.

Circling back to John Bolton, it interests me no end to follow the career of the former Trump staffer after he publishes his ‘kiss and tell’ memoir that claims to out at a most inconvenient time the confidential Oval Office conversations between him and the president of the United States, the man he was sworn to serve in a professional manner.  Who in hell would now engage Bolton in any kind of consulting or advisory capacity knowing that he has demonstrably defected in positions that demand confidence and trust?

Respectfully Paul, any mention of climate change here is a rathole so let's try another example.

Posters here are trusting the fate of the nation to a man who is intellectually and emotionally incapable of handling the job....he is just too stupid to be President.

Ironically, I have always mostly disagreed with John Bolton but have respected his mind....Iiberal/conservative, right/left, man/woman, urban/rural; in national security crises, natural disaster, economic crash or beyond a certain scale of crises, all I care about is smart/stupid.

[Terry Trumplestein]

there is still another option...if the Senate republicans say they have enough evidence and don't need any more.. perhaps they will actually have some balls and vote guilty? This is their last chance to save the republican party from the doom that awaits them. 75% of Americans wanted witnesses. Remember the Whigs?

[George Rebane]

Well then, we do have a conundrum going into November. What puzzles me no end is the question, 'Are the supremely hubristic socialists - proudly promising disastrous public polices that have led to the decline/demise of nations at great human costs - of the Dems clown car of candidates better than the supposedly evil-spirited, incompetent Donald Trump whose suppressed salutary walk is smothered by his lamestream amplified, foot-in-mouth talk??'

@ 12;54 pm

Suppose the Dems get some R’s to crossover. Maybe 6, maybe 12, maybe 18. Even that would still be short of the 2/3 needed to convict Trump. It’s over, gents.

Now, you can go on and on about wildfires and Global crises and who shagged who and Trump is a Nazi and if you disagree you are a Nazi too. You can chant Orange Man Bad til the cows come home, but it has nothing to do with the Senate. Zero. It’s over.

The House dis not take impeachment seriously and contrary to what they claim, the House did not send over for trail an ironclad case with irrefutable evidence to hang ‘em high. Lots of talk about military families and growing up and family , but shy on evidence. If the House did not take the solemn act of impeachment seriously (and it shows), why should anybody else?

Oh my. Now comparisons to the Vietnam War if the Senate does not vote the way you demand him to. And it’s the same crowd that spit on our Nam vets who were u der orders to stand down.

Trump under crisis? He has been put through three years of crises non-stop by the likes of Left has has done quite well, thank you. During the height of impeachment...yes impeachment of all things, Trump has hit the highest polling of his Presidency, signed Phase One of the China trade deal, signed off on USMCA, moved the ball forward for the first time in years in the Middle East, has had wage growth finally break out of stagnant growth, ad infinitum. If that is an example of folding under crisis, then perhaps it is your projection as you melt into a pool of primordial ooze.

It’s over. You can always verify my point by listening to the sounds of gasping for air emitting from the fog of swamp gas.

You Lefties did not make much progress on the 7 Steps of Grieve Recovery since 2016...and now this. Oh my.

The economy he's created sure ain't no lie.
These lies Emery?
Under President Trump’s leadership, Congress passed historic tax cuts and relief for hard-working Americans. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:

Is the first major tax reform signed in 30 years.

Provided tax relief for 82% of middle-class families.

Doubled the Child Tax Credit proving an additional $1,000 per child in tax relief for working parents.

Nearly doubled the standard deduction, a change that simplified the tax filing process for millions of Americans.

Cut taxes for small business by 20%, providing $415 billion in tax relief for small business owners.

Alleviated the tax burden on over 500 companies. who used those savings to fund bonuses, wage increases for 4.8 million workers.

Spurred new investments into the American economy, after it was passed businesses invested $482 billion into new American projects.

Repealed Obamacare’s burdensome individual mandate.

Made U.S. companies competitive on the world stage, lowering the corporate tax rate from one of the highest in the industrialized world (35%) to 21%.

Plenty more facts here.

Throughout Glacier National Park, visitors were met with signs, brochures and messages proclaiming that all of the Park’s glaciers were expected to melt away by 2020.

But by 2019 NOT EVEN ONE of the glaciers had disappeared.

During the winter of 2018-2019–while the St. Mary Visitor Center was closed to the public–the government quietly altered the ‘Gone by 2020’ signs.

Well, it looks to me the Leftinistas are pissed off royally that the R’s in the Senate (and House) did not pull their usual MO and fold like a cheap suit. No more wet noddles at the first volley of incoming. No more trying to work with our assassins across the aisle. No more trying to work in good faith with those who never never ever operate in good faith.

What pisses the Leftinistas off most is the R’s won’t stand down. They are flying in a tight formation and miraculously grew a spin....by following Trump’s lead. I rather like the R’s growing a vertebrae and those R’s in the House were amazing. They should never have called Lindsey Graham a homo or attack Ted Cruz’s kids, aged 9 and 11. And they should have never attacked folks who voted for Obama twice and voted for Trump in 2016.

I rather like a pissed off Linsey Graham and a fired up Ted Cruz and a fired up POTUS.

Where is Jeff Flake when the Dems need him most? Where is Beto?

A major bombshell coming before Wednesday, 1 pm, EST? Oh course. No surprise there. We all lived through the Kavanaugh hearings, duh. And we lived quite well through the Impeachment Acquittal...er...non conviction. Blame the R senators! Blame Nigel Farage! Blame the Russians!

Ever wonder why Trump is still standing? Ever wonder why? Ever wonder why normal folks have tuned out impeachment and are getting on with their lives? Ever wonder why David Axelrod’s 80 minute focus group in heavy Dem Illinois did not mention impeachment one single time...during the height of the House hearings?

Because we and they knew it was and is a waste of time. Total waste of time.

Oh my, another bombshell will be dropped. Oh, what shall I ever do? Is it going to be the Mother OF All Bombs? It will bomb, just like the other bombs.

Oh Todd, you keep clinging to past glories when it comes to the House. Fact is less than 2 years ago the Dems won big time in the election and are now up by 41 seats.

House Counsel Douglas Letter said in a filing in federal court that a second impeachment could be necessary if the House uncovers new evidence that Trump attempted to obstruct investigations of his conduct. Letter made the argument as part of an inquiry by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals"

1. Trump has the consistently highest unfavorable rating of any President in modern history.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

2. Trump did not sign anything near a comprehensive trade deal with China and the cost of what he has done out paces the benefit it creates.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/16/opinion/editorials/trump-china-trade-deal.html

3. The USMCA is nothing but a tinkering around the edges of NAFTA, but hey, that is fine by me and Nancy likes it.

4. The middle east peace deal is dead on arrival...

5. It is good that US wage growth was 3% in 2019, the highest in 10 years, but that is not uncommon compared to the growth before the great recession, and it still means real wages are the same as they were in 1973.

Go ahead. Tell us a LIB did it.

I'll bet 100 quatloos that for every impeaching of Trump in the future there will be a corresponding loss of DEM seats in the House and the Senate.

It's time to give up on "The Resistance". Trump has been literally spied upon in one of the ugliest misuse and abuse of powers ever in the history of the country, from before his election, and he's still there. It's time, gentlemen. The 2016 election was conducted fairly and won by Trump. The 2018 election, conducted fairly but under the Mueller cloud, returned the Speakership to Queen Nan. Now there's a new election and the race is on.

You have yet to refute one. But continue with that ballad of the butthurt set to a funeral dirge.

Notice folks? The LIBS here can't even come up with one damned good reason to vote for ANY of the wannabes looking to take Trump's job. Now why is that? Because NONE are worth a tinker's damn.

Hating Trump is all they have. I expected the Party of Hate to rear its ugly head from the swamp gas this weekend and they are not one to disappoint. One thing about the Party of Hate is it is hard to overestimate their actions and impossible to underestimate the only arrow in their quiver, aka, pure unadulterated hate.

If you don”t like the results in the Senate, blame Schiffilis, the Botox Queen, Jerry Nader and the House Dems that sent over to the Senate articles of impeachment with a note attached saying the dog ate their homework.

Put the blame solely on where it lies, gentleman and the confused.

Dems took a 41 seat led on the last Congressional, the best overall indicator of public support at any one time. That number is the most contemporary indication of voter preference because it includes all states and all voters

JHK: "As to the election of 2020, the Democrats are trying like hell to set the stage for disputing and negating it.

THE JEFFRIES DISTINCTION
Inside the sordid impeachment saga there must be a fat Robert Ludlum novel struggling to get out. In the video below from the Senate trial this past Thursday, for example, House impeachment manager Hakeem Jeffries quickly offered The Jeffries Distinction in response to a question posed by Senator Richard Burr. In The Jeffries Distinction he differentiated foreign meddling in the 2016 election undertaken by the Democrats from whatever Trump has been impeached for. Jeffries not only offered his distinction — the Democrats paid good money for the Steele Dossier — he added a dollop of what he describes as “conspiracy theories” for good measure.

Schiff: Trump Will Sell Alaska To Russia If We Don’t Impeach Him.

“Lead House Impeachment Manager Congressman Adam Schiff of California claimed during closing arguments in the Senate impeachment trial Monday that President Donald Trump will sell a U.S. state to the Russian government if not removed from office.

If “abuse of power” was not impeachable, Schiff argued, “then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach.”

“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election, or decide to move to Mar-A-Lago permanently and leave Jared Kushner to run the country, delegating to him the decision whether they go to war.”
