| Cohen defends chicken stunt aimed at Barr "The joke largely fell flat. Most notably, Jimmy Kimmel mocked the stunt and warned Democrats that using this kind of “sick burns” will cost them the presidential election in 2020." |
"Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), an otherwise completely obscure far-left backbencher, has just made a bid not to slide into total oblivion once he finally skulks out of the Capitol for the last time. He has filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, and while many other quixotic leftists have done that, Cohen has distinguished himself in filing no less than 26 articles of impeachment against Trump, which has got to be a record.
"Prof. Jonathan Turley remarked drily that Cohen “appears to believe that the problem with past impeachments has been brevity. His 26 articles of impeachment include everything short of ripping a label off a mattress, including the new impeachable offense of ‘self-aggrandizement.’”
"Wow. “Self-aggrandizement” is impeachable now? If that sticks, and in light of the fact that the last time the Democrats impeached Trump, he was out of office, Barack Hussein Obama and Old Joe Biden better tread lightly. Few, if any, of the occupants of the White House have been more self-aggrandizing than that pair of unctuous dissemblers, and so if “self-aggrandizement” is impeachable, they better be prepared to get their own articles of impeachment fairly soon.
"Newsweek reported Saturday that Cohen’s articles of impeachment, which he introduced last Thursday, accuse Trump of “abuses of power, violations of his oath of office, and a sweeping range of other alleged misconduct.” What they ultimately boil down to, however, is that Trump is not a far-left Democrat, and is, in fact, impeding the advancement of the far-left, Democrat agenda, and so he must be discredited and destroyed.
"Cohen, who is, disgracefully enough, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, is clearly following the strategy that the Democrats have used with varying levels of success ever since Watergate: accuse Republicans of ethical violations, while posing as being pure and free from corruption. If no genuine ethical violations can be found, fabricate some out of the mere fact that Republicans have a vision and policy recommendations that differ from those of the Democrats. Like any good authoritarian, attempt to make disagreement into a criminal offense."
