Man Who Slashed ‘Baby Trump’ Balloon: ‘First Time’ Liberals ‘Mad About Chopping Up A Baby’

Daily Wire  "It’s safe to say that the Alabama “baby Trump” balloon-popper is not sorry for his actions.
"Hoyt Deau Hutchinson, the man who was charged with slashing liberals’ anti-Trump balloon at a Tuscaloosa protest last weekend, went on the “Rick & Bubba Show” Monday to defend his actions.
. . . 
“I see this stuff going on out west and up north and all other places,” he continued. “I get so mad about people not taking a stand.”
In Hutchinson’s view, taking a stand and popping the balloon was necessary, and even a moral good.". . .
“ 'I walked by and said ‘Lock this up,'” Hutchinson said, noting that protesters were yelling the co-opted pro-Trump “lock her up” chant about twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.



"Hutchinson also yelled “Trump 2020” as he was being arrested, he told the radio hosts."

Ten Reasons Impeachment Is Illegitimate


Victor Davis Hanson
We are witnessing constitutional government dissipating before our very eyes.

"There are at least ten reasons why the Democratic impeachment “inquiry” is a euphemism for an ongoing coup attempt.
"1) Impeachment 24/7. The impeachment “inquiry,” supposedly prompted by the president’s Ukrainian call, is simply the most recent in a long series of “coups” that sought to overturn the 2016 election and thus preclude a 2020 reelection bid. The pattern gives away the game.
"Usually the serial futile attempts to abort the Trump presidency — with the exception of the Mueller Dream-Team debacle — were each characterized by about a month of media-driven hysteria. We remember the voting-machines-fraud hoax, the initial 2017 impeachment effort, the attempt to warp the Electoral College voting, the Logan Act, the emoluments clause, the 25th Amendment, the McCabe-Rosenstein faux coup, and various Michael Avenatti–Stormy Daniels–Michael Cohen psychodramas.
"Ukraine then is not unique, but simply another mini-coup attempt that follows the last failed coup and that will presage another coup to take its place when it too fails to remove Trump." . . .

2) Whistleblowers Who Are Not Whistleblowers.
3) First-term impeachment.
4) No Special Counsel Finding. 
5) No Bipartisanship. 
6) Impeachment without High Crimes or Misdemeanors

8) Different Standards of Justice.

Bill Taylor: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Heavy  "Bill Taylor, the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and the top diplomat for the United States there, is a career foreign service officer and Vietnam War veteran with experience in the Middle East. Specifically, he’s known now as the chargĂ© d’affaires to Ukraine.
'Taylor, who is married to a religious scholar, is Tipper Gore’s first cousin. You can read more about the latter link here. Taylor’s mother Nancy Aitcheson Taylor and Tipper’s father John Kenneth Aitcheson Jr. were siblings.
"Taylor’s text message to Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the EU and a wealthy GOP donor and hotelier, is now the focal point of controversy over President Donald Trump and Ukraine. “As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Taylor wrote to Sondland on September 9, 2019 at 12:47 a.m. You can see the full text exchanges released by the House here.
" 'You can read Taylor’s statement to House lawmakers here. In it, he stated that there was an informal channel of communication with Ukraine that included President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani. He claimed that Trump linked security assistance for Ukraine to the Ukrainian president’s willingness to publicly state that an investigation would be conducted into Joe Biden’s son Hunter and election interference.
"Sondland responded to Taylor at 5:19:35 a.m. on September 9, 2019, writing, “Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign I suggest we stop the back and forth by text If you still have concerns I recommend you give Lisa Kenna or S a call to discuss them directly. Thanks.” Sondland is now backing out of a closed-door House meeting; his lawyer says this was at the direction of the State Department." . . .

Gabbard’s Campaign Demands Hillary Retract Her ‘Russian Asset' Comments

How's this for a Russian asset?
Beth Baumann  "Lawyers for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign on Monday sent a letter to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demanding Clinton retract her previous comments suggesting Gabbard is a “Russian asset.” 
"The letter accuses Clinton of defamation, saying she knew her statements about Gabbard were blatantly false, Fox News reported. 
“ 'In making the statement, you knew it was false. Congresswoman Gabbard is not a Russian asset and is not being groomed by Russia,” the letter said. “Besides your statement, no law enforcement or intelligence agencies have claimed, much less presented any evidence, that Congresswoman Gabbard is a Russian asset. This fabricated story is so facially improbable that it is actionable as defamation.”
"Last month, Clinton said Russia was actively grooming one of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, although she didn't come out and directly say Gabbard's name.
“ 'I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. "She’s the favorite of the Russians," Clinton said during an interview on the Campaign HQ podcast. "They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. And, that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset. I mean, totally.”
"When Clinton's spokesperson was asked, point blank, if the statement was about Gabbard, the response inferred it was. “If the nesting doll fits,” the spokesperson said at the time." . . .

Hillary Clinton Asked To Leave Costco After Repeatedly Accusing Sample Lady Of Being A Russian Asset


They fear Roe may be overturned if Trump chooses another Supreme Court Justice. That may be what the current impeachment absurdity is all about. Planned Parenthood performs about 350k abortions a year. It is their bread and butter along with selling the body parts and organs of the aborted fetuses. They are not about to let anything interfere with their gravy train. Patricia McCarthy
Andrew Thomas blogs at Dark Angel Politics
Is impeachment all about the SCOTUS?  "The Democrats continue to embarrass themselves in their effort to remove President Trump from office. Adam Schiff, the face of their crusade, is an incompetent fool who never learned the first rule of holes.  He keeps digging.  He interrogates his chosen witnesses in secret, refuses to let the Republicans ask certain questions;  he orders the witnesses not to answer questions he does not like.   
For the public hearings he is allowing the Republicans no witnesses and ordered them not to even bring up the so-called whistleblower.  To do so would of course implicate Schiff himself and his underhanded, illegal manipulation of the process to jump-start this nonsensical inquiry over a phone call during which there was nothing inappropriate said by President Trump or President Zelensky.  Schiff knows this of course but assumes the rest of us are ignorant boobs incapable of noticing his abject misdirection, lunacy and malignity.  
"It is a safe bet that many of his Democrat colleagues in the House are disgusted by his tactics but are too spineless to object.  If they are not offended by what Schiff is doing, they all need to go for that would mean they all hope to ignore or at least abrogate the Constitution."

Nervous Nancy’s two alternatives  So, barring any major “smoking guns” from here on out (or anything else severely changing the landscape of these impeachment proceedings), Nancy Pelosi will have quite a decision on her hands.  She knows that any impeachment, to have any kind of historical validity, must have . . . broad, bipartisan support.  Here are the Speaker’s choices:" . . .
