Impeachment Comments Democrats Would Rather You Forget

Issues & Insights   "More than 20 years ago, when President Bill Clinton was being impeached for lying to a grand jury – then as now a documented fact that no one can credibly dispute – some Democrats who today want to impeach and have the Senate remove President Donald Trump from office ASAP, were whistling a very different tune.
:Back then they strongly argued:
1. There was no bipartisan consensus.
2. An impeachment would be traumatic for the country and distract Congress from solving major domestic and foreign policy problems.
    “We are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. And until the Republicans free themselves of this hatred, our country will suffer.”
    Former Vice President Joe Biden (then a U.S. senator):
    “It would have been wrong for Richard Nixon to have been removed from office based upon a purely partisan vote. No president should be removed from office merely because one party enjoys a commanding lead in either house of the Congress …“Brett Kavanaugh, who was associate independent counsel in Ken Starr’s office for three years, put this argument most succinctly in a recent article he published in the Georgetown Law Journal: ‘The President is not simply another individual. He is unique. He is the embodiment of the federal government and the head of a political party. If he is to be removed, the entire government likely would suffer, [and] the military or economic consequences to the nation could be severe’ …
    “To remove a president is to decapitate another branch and to undermine the independence necessary for it to fulfill its constitutional role … To remove a duly-elected president clashes with democratic principles in a way that simply has no constitutional parallel …
    “It is our constitutional duty to give the president the benefit of the doubt on the facts …
    "The clip proceeds to show one top Dem after another — all currently seeking Trump’s impeachment — blasting the act when a Democrat was in office.
    "Former Sen. Joe Biden was the first to appear saying that it’s unethical to use impeachment as a tool to “overturn an election on partisan grounds.”
    "Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler also made unwanted cameos during the powerful clip.
    “ 'The effect of impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters,” Nadler once said. It’s worth it to note, that Nadler has been one of the most relentless in pursuit of impeachment. Apparently, he’s had a big change of heart.

    “ 'Their hatred of the president exceeds their caring about this country and its people,” Schumer’s part in the clip declared.

A new GOP comes out swinging

. . . Apart from the usual suspects such as Mitt Romney (Romney as Massachusetts governor was the sole politician to hold out against the Bulger brothers, but that was a long time ago), the GOP wall is holding firm, with no defector or weak sister of any significance.
J.R. Dunn  "One way the Democrats could fulfill their dream of crippling President Trump (as opposed to simply running him out of office) would be to stampede the Republicans, to send them running wild-eyed for shelter from shouted accusations and piercing rays of adverse publicity.  There is no shortage of weak-spined GOP officeholders, and it has happened many times before.  The Dems had no reason to doubt that it would happen again.

"But it's not happening.  Apart from the usual suspects such as Mitt Romney (Romney as Massachusetts governor was the sole politician to hold out against the Bulger brothers, but that was a long time ago), the GOP wall is holding firm, with no defector or weak sister of any significance.
"One example can be found in the confrontation between Indiana congressman Jim Banks and NPR's Michel Martin this past Wednesday.  Martin was fulfilling NPR's unwritten charter of putting the wildest fringe leftist thinking into comfortable terms to make it acceptable to the denizens of the suburbs.  Banks, a freshman representative who saw service in Afghanistan, wasn't having any." . . .
Along with Elise Stefanik's bold defiance of the House Democratic elite, this is a serious indication that a new GOP is pecking its way out of the shell.  Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, relentlessly hammered Chairman Adam Schiff over the lies and inconsistencies regarding the "whistleblower," ending with a demand that "he should immediately step down as chair."

Portland Bans Urinals In $195M 'Gender-Neutral' Remodel of Government Building


"The City of Portland has banned urinals in the $195 million remodel of the Portland Building, which houses administrative offices for the city. While urinals use less water than toilets, they are a relic of a bygone era when men and women were recognized as biologically different." . . .
. . . "According to KGW, the building will have gender-neutral multi-stall bathrooms intended to be used by men and women together. These free-for-all restrooms — a dream come true for perverts — will be on the first, third, and fifteenth floors." . . .

Tampons Are Coming to the Men's Room at Brown University


"For some reason today people think that a company exists to virtue signal, and not to make money.
"Take the fast-food behemoth McDonald’s for example. The company makes burgers, and earns billions of dollars in the process. Now, activists want them to change their business model to appease a small percent of the population.
"When asked why their London branch did not serve food that met Halal standards, McDonald’s simply responded that it didn’t make financial sense to change things up:
“ 'Hi, we conducted a Halal trial a few years ago and learnt that Halal certified food is only popular with a very small percentage of customers. Given it would require significant changes to our kitchen procedures and supply chain, we have no plans to offer Halal food in the UK' .” . . .

Not saying AOC feels this way at present, but she seems to attract people who do.

. . . "People gave the pop star so much garbage over photos of her baptism in the Jordan River that she was compelled to apologize." . . .

Open Borders Inc.: Who’s Funding the Wicked War on ICE?

Michelle Malkin


"All the gun control zealots out in full force last week have apparently gone to the beach. An alarming shooting took place at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in San Antonio on Tuesday. Local media reported that “multiple shots were fired on two floors targeting ICE officials.” But the Second Amendment saboteurs were AWOL.
"Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Federal government workers are under literal fire for enforcing our immigration laws and protecting America. But left-wing Moms Demand ignored the story. So did the anti-gun Brady agitators. And the usual stampede of camera-hogging Democrat presidential candidates lost their unquenchable thirst for the spotlight to blame “hate speech” for inducing violence.

"The vacuum is bipartisan. With few exceptions, Beltway Republicans have also lost their tongues when they should be relentlessly smashing the open-borders wall of silence about this escalating anti-ICE terror campaign. The San Antonio attack comes just one month after an Antifa extremistambushed an ICE detention facility in Tacoma, Wash., armed with a rifle and incendiary devices. The vengeful Antifa gunman had assaulted a police officer last year at the same location, received a wrist slap, then published a manifesto that declared: “I strongly encourage comrades and incoming comrades to arm themselves.”
"The Tacoma terrorist had also invoked the incendiary ICE-bashing rhetoric of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, echoing her diatribes on ICE centers as “concentration camps,” which in turn was borrowed from and amplified by rent-a-mobsters demonizing homeland security employees at a string of summer demonstrations against ICE facilities the past two years from lawless hellhole Portland to the D.C. swamp to the Big Apple criminal sanctuary to my adopted home state of Colorado, where the American flag was ripped from its post and replaced with the Mexican flag by still-unidentified vandals on the loose." . . .

Schiff Collusion with Whistleblower the Last Straw

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/
Daniel John Sobieski "Perhaps House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), would like to produce a transcript of his secret meeting with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson at the Aspen Security Forum in July 2018.  Or maybe someone like ranking member Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) can make up a "parody" and read it into the record, as Schiff did with President Trump's call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, both of whom publicly denied any collusion, pressure, or quid pro quo.
. . .
"Schiff,  who once called the rooftop heroes of Benghazi liars, is at it again.  He is not uncovering corruption; he is part of it.  His is the corruption that needs to be exposed, and his Intelligence Committee is part of the swamp that needs to be drained.
"Count Schiff among the many leakers who have released classified information and testimony designed to damage and slander the Trump administration.  During the testimony of Donald Trump, Jr. before the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Schiff repeatedly left the room.  Coincidentally, of course, leaked information from that testimony began appearing in anti-Trump media even before the testimony concluded:" . . .

 
With Her 'Important Question' Answered, Rep. Stefanik Tells Schiff to Step Down As Intel Chairman  "At last week's House Intelligence Committee hearing with Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, Chairman Adam Schiff took it upon himself to improvise the transcript of the July call between Presidents Trump and Zelensky. Schiff said at the opening of the hearing that Trump told the Ukrainian leader, "I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent."
"The transcript does not say that, and it does not show evidence of quid pro quo. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was one of the Republicans on the panel to call Schiff out for his misleading parody." . . .
"GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said he wasn't surprised by Schiff's behavior. He's witnessed his colleague "lying to the American people" for years. He, too, is out of patience and signed a resolution to censure Schiff."
