Impeachment traps Democrats

Don Surber  . . . "Democrats now have to sell a Vichy government to women who wear in pink knit hats in the middle of summer. Oh my.
"On October 3, 2018, the Washington Examiner reported, "Adam Schiff opens door to impeaching Trump over family tax fraud."
"On Sunday, Schiff told ABC, "We are already a bitterly divided country, and an impeachment process will divide us further."
"How does that play to his Lock Him Up constituents?
"For seemingly eternity, politicians have made promises only to discard them once they got to Washington. Voters tolerated it.
"Then came Donald John Trump. He is keeping his promises. His wall is going up. Democrat voters are looking at it and wondering why no one is stopping the Orange Man from building the wall.
"Democrat voters also want to know why the Republican electorate gets what it wanted, but they don't.
"Now then, tell me what their motivation is to vote in 2020 if they will not get what they want even if they win?
"Hey, if Pelosi can live with Hitler, they can too." . . .

If Trump Is Impeached, Nadler Says He Might Cry ... 'Out of Happiness'

. . . Not only do Democrats want to impeach Trump even in the absence of a clear "high crime and misdemeanor," but they would take immense pleasure in destroying Trump, regardless of the damage that will do to the country." . . .

Rep. Jordan Wants Cummings, Waters To RELEASE Their SECRET Memo That Calls For Trump Attacks!


The Political Insider  "Rep. Jim Jordan, House Oversight and Reform ranking member called out Rep. Elijah Cummings, Chairman, by sending him a letter demanding the release of a non-public memo that he and Rep. Maxine Waters wrote up in regards to their strategy to go after President Trump." . . .
. . . 
"This is crazy! It looks as if Cummings and Waters are conspiring or can we use the Democrat’s word, colluding to subvert the president in coordinated attacks. I should think this can be seen as illegal and better yet; they could face charges from the Justice Department. Wouldn’t that be sweet?
You have sought to avoid public scrutiny of your quest to obtain the President’s financial information. First, you wrote to Mazars in secret to request the President’s financial information; second, you executed a nonpublic MOU to coordinate with Chairwoman Waters; and finally, you broke your promise to hold a public business meeting to debate a subpoena to Mazars. Your nonpublic MOU has now become a matter of significant public interest due to your unprecedented actions.
In the interest of promoting the utmost transparency about the Committee’s business, I encourage you to release publicly your MOU with Chairwoman Waters and any other signed or unsigned MOUs that you have entered into so that the American people can understand the extent to which you and other Democrat chairpersons are engaged in an orchestrated effort to attack the President for political gain.

Alyssa Milano's epic fail on sex strike for abortion driving her nuts

Add caption

Thomas Lifson  "You knew this was coming, didn't you?  When feminist and left-wing activist actor Alyssa Milano (remember her attending the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings?) announced that she was going on a sex strike "until we get bodily autonomy back" (meaning, apparently the right to kill a baby in utero, and possibly even after birth, as the governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, suggested), a lot of people laughed."
. . . "It's unclear if she was even vaguely aware of the literary roots of such blackmail in Aristophanes's Lysistrata, first performed in 411 B.C., but she quickly clarified that her poor husband (or other possible lovers) was not the target — so it was not really serious, but rather a publicity stunt:
In the CNN essay, published Monday and co-written with fellow activist Waleisah Wilson, Milano said her sex-strike post accomplished its goal: to spark powerful responses.
"It got the country talking about the GOP's undeniable war on women. And let's face it, with so much going on every day in the news, sometimes we need an extreme response to get national attention," the op-ed reads. "So now that we have your attention: Our reproductive rights are blatantly and systematically being stripped away before our very eyes."
"Yet the Georgia bill was signed into law, despite her stunt.
"Alyssa was not pleased — and reacted exactly the way you would expect a pampered Hollywood type to: a destructive tantrum:" . . .
Liberal stupidity on sex flares up again in abortion arguments
Milano and Cancela are poster children for liberals' moral obtuseness and relentless navel-gazing.  They make reductio ad absurdum arguments, intended as a "gotcha" against conservatives, that work only when one accepts liberal premises.  But conservatives reject liberal premises, resulting in these arguments comically boomeranging: the absurdum turns out not to be all that absurd, after all, and the same liberals who want unrestricted sex and cheap marriage end up defending chastity and marriage's comprehensive sacredness.  Aquinas, eat your heart out.
