Hillary Clinton: ‘Impeachment Is the Only Remedy’ to Stop Trump"Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that President Trump “abused his powers to cheat in the next election” and added that “impeachment is the only remedy” to stop him. "Clinton, who has remained vocal throughout the partisan impeachment process, tweeted ahead of the full House vote on two articles of impeachment against the president expected to take place Wednesday evening. “ 'One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are. The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right,” Clinton claimed. “ 'Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up,” she added, concluding that “Impeachment is the only remedy”:" . . .
Nadler did not cite any evidence to back up his claim that Gohmert was spreading “Russian propaganda.”Gohmert, who had left the podium, stormed back after Nadler made his comments and began shouting at him for several seconds.
Daily Wire "An intense moment unfolded on the floor of the House of Representatives between Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY) on Wednesday as lawmakers debated Democrats’ partisan impeachment efforts.
“ 'In 1998, Senator Schumer said, ‘This impeachment will be used as a routine tool to fight political battles.’ We thought it was a prediction,” Gohmert began. “It was a promise and now it’s playing out, that’s exactly what’s being done here and for those who say we don’t address the facts, here you go: The impeachment serves two purposes.”
" 'Number one, stop the investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and Ukraine into the corruption of Ukraine interference into U.S. elections in 2016,” Gohmert continued. “You said this was about this terrible Russia collusion and then that fell through [and now] it’s about emoluments, it’s bribery, it’s about extortion, it’s changed. But one thing hasn’t changed and that is: The intent to impeach this president, it’s always been there.”
“ 'But let’s be honest, the president turning his back on Ukraine, that happened in 2009 because in 2008 Ukraine invaded Georgia, what happened? Bush put sanctions on Russia to teach him a lesson,” Gohmert continued. “What happened after that? Well, in March of 2009 Hillary Clinton was sent over to Russia with a reset button to say, ‘Bush overreacted, we’re okay that you invaded Georgia.’ It was a greenlight to Russia to invade Ukraine and what [did Obama] do? [Obama] sent blankets and MREs and you eat and be warm why the Russians are killing them. That is what the Obama administration did.”
A small group of President Trump's fiercest conservative critics is launching a super PAC designed to fight Trump's reelection and punish congressional Republicans deemed his “enablers."
"A small group of President Donald Trump's fiercest conservative critics, including the husband of the president's own chief adviser, is launching a super PAC designed to fight Trump's reelection and punish congressional Republicans deemed his “enablers.""The new organization, known as the Lincoln Project, represents a formal step forward for the so-called Never Trump movement, which has been limited largely to social media commentary and cable news attacks through the first three years of Trump's presidency. Organizers report fundraising commitments exceeding $1 million to begin, although they hope to raise and spend much more to fund a months-long advertising campaign in a handful of 2020 battleground states to persuade disaffected Republican voters to break from Trump's GOP."The mission, as outlined in a website that launched Tuesday coinciding with a New York Times opinion piece, is simple: “Defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box.”"The group is led by a seven-person advisory council that features some of the GOP's most vocal Trump critics. Most, but not all, have already left the Republican Party to protest Trump's rise."The principals include former John McCain adviser Steve Schmidt, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich adviser John Weaver, former New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn, veteran Republican operative Rick Wilson and George Conway, a conservative attorney and husband of Trump's chief counselor Kellyanne Conway."In an interview, George Conway said he encouraged the new super PAC to involve Anonymous, an unnamed Trump administration official who authored a recent book warning the public against Trump's reelection. The rest of the group ultimately decided not to take Conway's suggestion." . . .
House Democrats are impeaching President Trump because they don’t like him. They have run through faulty reason after faulty reason in a desperate search for an excuse, any excuse, to undo the election of 2016 and a probable repeat in 2020.
Ann Coulter"In the history of politics, there is no precedent for the media’s entire focus to be on undoing the last presidential election.
"True, the left has wanted to impeach every Republican president, but at least they used to wait a decent interval between the inauguration and concocting some preposterous “impeachable offense.”
"With Trump, it’s never been about anything he’s done. It’s him they can’t stand. The technical grounds for their impeachment is: REMOVE THIS MONSTER FROM MY SIGHT!
"The left has gone from “literally shaking” on election night 2016, to “literally shaking” at Trump firing the FBI director (a.k.a. “his employee”), to “literally shaking” at Trump engaging in foreign policy.
"On cable news, they’re still talking about Trump’s “Russia, if you’re listening” joke.
"U.S. media: Proud not to get a joke.
"The media pretend the president engaging in standard foreign policy is a big constitutional crisis. It is, but not the way they mean.
"As explained in the seminal book on impeachment, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, impeachment is not for policy disputes. That’s why, in any five-minute span on cable TV, you will hear someone say that James Madison expressly rejected “maladministration” as a ground for impeachment at the Constitutional Convention. Otherwise, he said, “so vague a term” would mean the president could serve only at “the pleasure of the Senate.” . . .
"Turns out, a number of her colleagues are also wearing black to mark the "solemn" occasion. Democrats have also been told not to clap or cheer if the articles pass later today."
"The distinction between Bloomberg’s media outlet and presidential campaign are non-existent. Five staffers from the outlet, an executive editor, news editor, senior editorial page editor, social media editor, and another editorial page editor, have joined the presidential campaign of the same name. The name of the guy signing their paychecks."
“We’ve proven that you can transition to clean energy and strengthen the economy at the same time” Sooooo, when and how was this proven?
"Former NYC mayor and 2020 Democrat candidate Michael Bloomberg is jumping on the ‘Green New Deal’ train in a blatant attempt to endear himself to the climate change obsessed left.
"During a campaign stop in Virginia over the weekend, he promised to close U.S. coal plants.
Bloomberg would shut down coal plants if elected president
Mike Bloomberg would shut down the nation’s remaining 251 polluting coal power plants and halt construction of 150 new gas facilities as part of a sweeping program to slash carbon emissions and boost clean energy alternatives if elected president.
Bloomberg’s plan — unveiled Friday during a campaign stop in northern Virginia — aims to cut US carbon emissions in half over 10 years and put the country on course to get 80 percent of its electricity generated from green energy sources, like wind and solar, by 2028.
The proposal would end taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuels and offer incentives for clean energy. Additionally, it would impose more stringent carbon and pollution standards for new gas plants, effectively barring new construction.
"Somehow, I doubt this is going to earn Bloomberg an endorsement from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Michael Bloomberg wants to shut down coal by 2030 and start killing gas plants
. . . Bloomberg Shows Reporters are Political Operatives. And there’s no room for them on Republican campaigns."There will never be a President Michael Bloomberg. Not unless some bankrupt African country decides to auction off the privilege to the highest bidder. But while Bloomy is no real threat to the Democrats or Republicans, his campaign is unintentionally telling the obvious truth about the role of the media. "The billionaire famously banned staff from his eponymous outlet from investigating him or fellow Dems while declaring an open season on President Trump. He responded to criticismby sayingthat his reporters, “get a paycheck. But with your paycheck comes some restrictions and responsibilities.” "Those restrictions and responsibilities are to serve the political interests of the guy signing the checks." . . . Pat Sajak has fun with Bloomberg's big soda ban:
"Derangement is a mental impairment that causes those afflicted with it to make very bad decisions, often ignoring or disputing realities that would caution them against their self-destructive actions. Even though the leftist-dominated psychology and psychiatric professions refuse to acknowledge it, Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, a genuine mass psychosis, and it is at the root of the impeachment vote today.
"It is often speculated that the real goal of Democrats is to "place an asterisk" next to President Trump's name. But as the passion of the moment subsides and historians take a longer look, here are seven facts that will place an asterisk next to this impeachment, as a monumentally foolish act of political malpractice:
First ever purely partisan impeachment.
First ever impeachment advocated by House members before the president took office and took any official actions.
No crime is alleged.
The first ever impeachment brought less than a year before voters speak on the incumbent.

Noisy Room"America’s main pro-China communist party Liberation Road is working overtime to win Florida for the Democratic Party in the 2020 presidential election. "With 29 Electoral College votes—behind only California and Texas and tied with New York—Florida may well decide the 2020 election. California and New York are deeply blue states and Texas is moderately red, so purplish Florida will be heavily targeted as the most significant “swing state” in the nation. "Liberation Road Maoists finally turned Virginia blue in 2020. They’re now using similar tactics to flip Florida. "Liberation Road (until April this year known as Freedom Road Socialist Organization or FRSO) flipped Virginia by signing up at least 300,000 new minority voters over the last several years and working with then-Gov. Terry McAuliffe to restore voting rights for an estimated 200,000 former felons. "Working through the New Florida Majority and allied organizations FRSO/Liberation Road has signed up hundreds of thousands of new minority voters in Florida and helped pass a referendum giving 1.4 million “Sunshine State” former felons the right to vote. "They also helped to raise the Democratic vote for their friend Andrew Gillum in the 2018 governor’s race. Gillum only lost because Donald Trump endorsed Republican Ron DeSantis who called Gillum out for the socialist he undoubtedly is. Given that Gillum is now working with the Florida left to sign up another million minority Democratic voters, it’s entirely possible that China’s American franchise Liberation Road may well decide who wins the 2020 election." . . . . . . "Both campaigns saw the New Florida Majority deepen its ties with several allied organizations across the state through a new umbrella organization the Statewide Alliance Group (SWAG). "The new alliance included:
• New Florida Majority • Dream Defenders—a black-led pro-Palestine group closely affiliated to Liberation Road. • Organize Florida—led by Stephanie Porta, former leader of Florida ACORN. • Florida Immigrant Coalition—led by Maria Rodriguez, a 2009 Rockwood Leadership Institute alumni and close affiliate of Liberation Road. • SEIU—heavily penetrated by Liberation Road and other communist groups. • Faith in Florida—part of Faith in Action, formerly known as the PICO National Network, which is closely affiliated to some Liberation Road supporters. • Central Florida Jobs with Justice—led by Denise Diaz, who is closely affiliated to Liberation Road and the Communist Party USA.

Democrats are talking to each other on impeachment"Today's the big impeachment day, and the Democrats are still yelling and piously intoning about it about its importance. It's big. It's rare. It's "historic" as newsman David Muir was saying last night.
"There's just one problem: The public is not paying attention. Actually, it's bored as hell, and the evidence of it is everywhere. "It's like they gave an impeachment and nobody came." . . .
In contrast, President Trump is kind of exciting. He's a natural showman and puts on a great campaign rally. He startles the public by keeping his promises. He's funny, and the voters like his 'doesn't give a s***' attitude, according to a recent Axios focus group of Michigan swing voters. He's got the overseas rogue actors on their backfoot. His tax cuts, deregulation and constant standing up for the little guy have brought a stellar economy with employment figures like no one's seen in their lifetimes. Black people, Latinos, the poor, the people with criminal records, the handicapped, women, across the board everybody is gaining.
Chicks on the Right"On what is being called the “eve of his impeachment,” President Donald Trump remains indefatigable. The proof is in his letterto House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "In a scathing 6-page missive, Trump defends himself in no uncertain terms, while protesting the “unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power” by his accusers. "And he shouldn’t have to do so. Everything about this impeachment inquiry is shady. We’ll see just how shady tomorrow, when the final vote is likely to be cast. "No matter what I may think of this man on a personal level, I find the way he has been and is being treated unconscionable. Never in the history of our country has any president been so viciously and undeservedly attacked. It started from the day he took office…or from the day Hillary lost, in point of fact." . . .

Townhall"This impeachment circus is still going on—and it could become one of the biggest in-kind contributions Democrats can give the Trump 2020 re-election effort. Impeachment over this July phone call with Ukraine, where some quid pro quo businesses was hashed out between military aid and a corruption probe into the Bidens has engulfed D.C. House Democrats made a promise to their progressive base to impeach Trump. they thought it would be popular. It was a gross miscalculation. It’s not popular in key swing states or with Independent voters. The numbers for impeachment are now officially underwater. And the two charges, obstruction of Congress and abuse of power, lobbed against Trump further proves that this is a partisan clown show. Also, where’s bribery? I was promised that would be on their rap sheet. It’s not. "Liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz scorched Democrats for pushing two articles of impeachment that simply do not meet constitutional standards. I mean I don’t think you need to go to law school to know that these charges are just liberal speak for “we don’t like this guy.” We all know that Democrats haven’t been able to handle Trump’s 2016 win. That’s not a good enough reason to impeach a duly elected president. He won. Hillary lost. Deal with it. Most Americans have done so, but for the most liberal, most disgusting parts of this country—it’s been an obsession top impeach Trump. It’s quasi-stalker-like behavior (via The Hill):" . . . Retiring Democrat: Endless Trump Investigations Are Wearing on the Souls of Americans But.... . . "Meanwhile, new polling shows even fewer Americans support the Democrats' impeachment efforts.
