The Norma Desmond Drama Queen Of American Politics Should Have Kept His Mouth Shut

Transparency is to Democrats what sunlight and holy water are to vampires and one of the left-wing party’s top congressional ghouls hissed in impotent fury over the idea that the more than 40,000 hours or surveillance footage from January 6, 2021, the day of the so-called insurrection could soon be made public.

Serial liar and shameless conspiracy theorist, Rep. Adam Schiff melted down on Twitter after Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced that the video which has been broken down by his team would finally see the light of day.

“Weak men peddle false election lies while privately dismissing them as absurd. Weak men use fear and hate to motivate their followers,” he whined. “Weak men value money and notoriety over truth and decency. Tucker Carlson is a weak, weak man.”

Twitter reacted to Schiff’s outburst by flame-broiling Pelosi’s defrocked chief inquisitor and generously basting him with a glaze of his own pathetic hypocrisy.

Weak men lie on CNN and get on their knees to kiss Twitters butt to block people who make them sad

— Steven Kolln (@stevenkolln) March 3, 2023

You just perfectly described yourself. No idea why you even brought up Tucker Carlson’s name.

— Robert (@RobertNorCal) March 4, 2023

Weak men peddle false Russian collusion lies and spend millions of taxpayer dollars doing so needlessly.

Weak men use fear and hate to stoke personal fundraising efforts.

Weak men live in another state, not the one in who’s district he represents.

That weak man is you.

— Buzz Patterson (@BuzzPatterson) March 4, 2023

Twitter went on and on roasting him mercilessly.

The only thing that holds politicians in check is a spotlight from the press, and today the press is locked in the dark dank sphere of the democrats.  Every day the democrat media reports bring fresh revelations of un-named sources with no evidence what so ever. Just headlines. More headlines, more soundbites. All the while ignoring the real news of executive branch corruption.

A Random Act of Journalism

Chief January 6th Investigator Makes Shocking Admissions,
and Committee Members Covered Them Up

NBC News, accidentally I'm sure, committed a random act of journalism on Tuesday, interviewing the Chief January 6th Investigator for the January 6th committee, Tim Heaphy.  What Heaphy revealed to Lester Holt may be the most significant admission regarding January 6th since the event took place.

Previously, surveillance videos had shone how complicated and confusing the situation was. But according to Heaphy, the attack was preventable before the first person stepped foot on the Capitol grounds.

Heaphy reveals that the intelligence prior to January 6th "was direct and not ambiguous". The FBI knew that people were going to attempt to get inside the Capitol Building.  Instead of trying to prevent the attack, recent revelations showed that the FBI played along, having informants within the Proud Boys organization.

According to Holt, committee members like Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff purposely suppressed that damning information in the final report in order to keep the focus solely on Donald Trump.

In other words, the committee covered the corrupt FBI's ass, put politics above exposing the intentional failures of federal law enforcement who could have prevented the whole thing.  

The Jan 6 Final Report is a sham.

Committee members actively covered up the information in order to continue their partisan pursuit of Trump. - READ MORE

The Leaky Lying Shitweasel Gets Kicked in the Nads.

What can be said about Adam Schiff that hasn’t already been said? Let’s make that what can I put in writing about a smarmy political hack with apparently zero conscience who has told more lies and made more “smoking gun” promises over the last six years.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday night, as promised, officially booted Schiff, and equally smarmy political hack Eric Swalwell, off the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Schiff of course threw a predictable snit fit when the boot came, profusely lying as usual and making silly threats on his way to the curb:

"This is petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump. 

If he thinks this will stop me, he will soon find out just how wrong he is. 

I will always defend our democracy."

Serial liar Schiff’s 24×7 obsession with DJT has been pathetically hilarious, and his claim of “defending our democracy” is laughable. Sorry Adam, you got exactly what you deserved.

The Tweeter Box had a helluva lot to say, and the hilarious blistering continues as we speak.

Sure I’ve lied about everything else, but this time I’m telling the truth......

......says the boy who cried collusion. 

Democrats and the media are currently on a kick that DJT will try to steal the upcoming election, and even if he loses won’t relinquish power. Meanwhile, the notorious liar Adam Schift is crying about a "disinformation campaign against democrats."

Adam Schiff bitching about disinformation is like Michael Moore complaining about obesity; it’s his most obvious flaw. The same man who lied for years about having proof of Russian collusion and created the entire false narrative behind the unsuccessful Presidential coup attempt is now crying that there is a foreign disinformation campaign against him and the democrats in Congress. Having exhausted all his other avenues of bullshit, Shifty is now lying about lying.

Schiff sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding he protect them against a thing they just made up:

"We write to request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation provide a defensive counterintelligence briefing to all members of the House of Representatives and the Senate regarding foreign efforts to interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 

We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November. 

Given the seriousness and specificity of these threats, as members of congressional leadership and the congressional intelligence committees we believe it is imperative that the FBI provide a classified defensive briefing to all Members of Congress and that the briefing draw on all-source intelligence information and analysis, consistent with due regard for the protection of sensitive intelligence sources and methods."

The letter was signed by Schiff, Nancy Peglosi, Chuck Schumer, and Mark Warner. It also demands that the FBI provide this briefing before the August recess or else.

First off, this looks like Schiff and company are demanding that the FBI pony up some information he can conjure up a interference/collusion twist and leak to the NYT and friends. It doesn’t have anything to do with foreign interference but rather, controlling the narrative. Democrats are the single biggest source of disinformation and the liberal media propaganda machine are the ones who force-feed the bullshit to the American public no questions ask.

Secondly, how the hell does Schiff know about this foreign disinformation campaign when apparently the U.S. Intelligence Services and the FBI don’t?  Yes, he’s the head of the House Intelligence Committee, but he gets information from the Intelligence Community.  This letter comes off like Schiff knows things that the FBI doesn’t, which means he’s once again trying to plant some kind of lie in the media undermine DJT and his administration.

Instead bowing to Schiff’s demand for a briefing on his make-believe foreign disinformation campaign, it would be nice if the FBI actually held Shifty accountable for the real disinformation campaign he’s been engaged in against a President for the last almost 4 years. This scumbag has lied about everything, sometimes under oath, and should be tossed in a federal pen.

Dancing Madly Backwards and Other Unnecessary Observations

Your average American is a busy, low-information voter. They follow the big developments, but not much else. What most Americans know is: Uberprosekutor Mueller came up with a donut. The president beat the impeachment like a rented mule. Mitt Romney and his Holier-Than-Thou Honor Guard are sad and indignant. The House Nanny threw a public, speech-ripping hissy and Adam Schiff looks ten years older than he did last week.

The average Americans tuned out the first impeachment nonsense toward the beginning. Extending the franchise and throwing another installment of “Impeach the M***erf*****!” at the country might genuinely annoy a lot of Americans who remember when Congress used to do government things and stuff. To be sure, politics and government still have deadly serious consequences for some individuals and for the country. But for average Americans, politics is now reality TV, filled with endless turnabout and gotchas, lunatic MSNBC conspiracy theories, CNN and Fox News confessionals, and mucho schadenfreude.

Democrats already dropped their A-bomb. Impeachment was the apex of their grudge quest. Everything else is a letdown. Absent some huge plot development outside their control–like a war–there’s nothing more dramatic they can throw at the president now. The best the dems can hope for now is to continue to dance madly backwards and keep hitting the same high note in the faint hope that something grabs the public’s attention.

As for drama offerings: the president has nowhere to go but up. He’s been playing defense for three years, the cowboy who gets beat nearly to death by the outlaw gang at the beginning of the film. Everyone, including low-info voters, know that the president stands to mete out some epic payback. Payback makes for riveting entertainment. The president has already begun, with the sacking of the weasel Vindman kids and Gordon Sondland.  Critics will sit on the edge of their seats waiting for the poundings to commence, then discuss said poundings in their usual verbose exhausting detail.

And a view of things 2020 from a stompy foot progressive........ 

"Democrats have systematically rat-fuck every group in their tent: labor, the poor, minorities, criminal defendants, students, homeowners, media consumers, environmentalists, civil libertarians, pensioners — everyone but donors. 

After a vote in Iowa that reeked of third-world treachery — from monolithic TV propaganda against the challenger to rumors of foreign intrusion to, finally, a “botched” vote count that felt as legitimate as a Supreme Soviet election — the Democrats have become the reactionaries they once replaced. 

Coinciding with the flatulent end of the party’s impeachment gambit, and the related news that Donald Trump is enjoying climbing approval ratings, the Blue Party was exposed as an incompetent lobby for doomed elites, dumb crooks with nothing left to offer but their exit. 

To paraphrase the Joker: What do you get when you cross a political party that’s sold out for decades, with an electorate that’s been abandoned and treated like trash."

Some Media Disturbed at Senator's Boredom and Disinterest at Schiff's Redundant Off-Broadway Spectacle

To listen to the media, we should all be showering Adam Schiff's with flowers over his dramatic prosecutorial marathon performance in the Senate Chamber the last few evenings. And while our friend DIANNY amply describes the resulting media talking head circle jerk, some in the media are a bit beside themselves that Schiff's senate comrades don't seem to hold the same enthusiasm for Schiff & Co. redundant, dot connecting interpretations and exercise in futility.  In Off-Broadway review speak, it might rate a characterization as "an overly dramatic presentation by a bad actor standing ankle deep in a box of cat shit." 

And what really bites em in the butt is cable news ratings indicate a significant drop as the audience shrunk by 19% between Tuesday’s session and when Democrats began making their case for why DJT should be removed from office.

According to BPR, MSNBC's resident soy boy, Chris Hayes, bluntly said Wednesday evening that any senators who find it difficult to sit still for eight or more hours during President Donald Trump’s ongoing Senate trial should “resign tomorrow and go get another job.” Hayes issued the remark while speaking with his cable news twin, master conspiracy theorist, Rick Maddow about the bipartisan boredom and disinterest being shown by Democrat and Republican senators.

"It is a little bit weird," Maddow complained. "We all thought it was within the rules that they had to be there. They had to attend and sit there and not eat or drink anything other than milk or water. And they needed to not have their phones and they needed to not speak."

To be fair, the rules of an impeachment trial are extremely strict. No coffee or snacking on the floor. No pacing, note-passing, scribbling on the wall or working on other matters or chit-chat. Technically, only water is allowed in the Senate chamber. Numerous senators were seen chewing on snacks or drinking something besides water. In their defense, they’re still human, after all.

"Courthouse News Service reported Bernie Sanders could be seen nodding off, slouched deep in his wooden desk with his chin bobbing on his chest."

And from the AP :

"A Democrat in the back row leaned on his right arm, covered his eyes and stayed that way for nearly a half-hour".

"Some openly snickered when lead prosecutor Adam Schiff said he’d only speak for 10 minutes. And when one of the freshman House prosecutors stood to speak, many of the senator-jurors bolted for the cloak rooms, where their phones are stored."

Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Di Feinstein reportedly said screw it and left Wednesday’s trial hearings at least an hour before its conclusion. Meanwhile, presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar hung around and was spotted apparently chewing her cud. 

Over at Fake News Central (CNN), John Berman was ranting and raving about the same issue. Their whiny attitude does seem to speak to the growing belief that so-called “journalists” are narcissistic, self-absorbed door slamming 9 year olds.

Behind The Scenes, Media Are Wetting Their Britches With Glee

Democrats have unveiled their articles of impeachment. They are, in what might be the understatement of the decade, incredibly weak.

The first is ‘Abuse of Power’ stemming from a non-existent quid pro quo in the Ukraine phone call. There was no investigation, Ukraine got their aid, and – as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer – Trump was well within his purview to ask them to examine the Biden family’s affairs. Democrats don’t care.

The second is ‘obstruction of Congress.’ This is based on the President’s refusal to let administration officials testify. Adam Schiff could have obtained a court order forcing them to appear, but he didn’t want to. That would draw out the process.  And as we all know the longer this goes on, the more it hurts Dems. So Schiff’s inaction is somehow impeachable. In other words, impeachment article 1 is "opposing congress" & article 2 is "He used presidential power that he shouldn't have been given & it makes us feel abused".

The charges are expected to face an approval vote before the end of the week and be voted on in the House. Assuming Nan has the votes to pass them, and she most likely will,  they’ll be sent to the Senate where they will fail.…Badly.

If you don’t see the truth of this, you haven’t been paying attention. The charges are nothing more than a hollow pretense, based on someone's interpretation of someone else's words. They’re a facade which disguises what the Dems and their media cheerleaders believe to be President Trump’s real impeachable offense: Orange Man Bad.

Nancy Pelosi toasted the media after Articles of Impeachment were announced, celebrating reporters on Capitol Hill at a special holiday event raising her glass to the “guardians of democracy.”

J. Fatman Nadler and his Liberal Legal Intelligentsia Sideshow

House Judiciary Committee chairman J. Fatman Nadler (D-N.Y.) taken over as ringmaster for the ongoing impeachment circus. He’s billing his opening act as an inquiry into the “historical and constitutional basis of impeachment” and “the Framers’ intent.”

Don’t be fooled by Nadler’s scholarly posturing. He isn’t planning a civics lesson. Democrats are hell-bent on impeaching Trump, so Nadler has to rewrite American history and massage the meaning of the Constitution’s impeachment clause to fit the pile of non-evidence BS Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee has produced.

They swear they’re reluctant to drag the nation into impeachment, but their duty to defend the rule of law requires it. Democrats and their hand-picked legal experts argued that a president can be impeached without breaking a law. Suddenly impeachment isn’t about upholding the rule of law. The grounds are broader. Wide enough to drive a truck through.

The Framers couldn’t specify federal law violations because there were no federal laws yet. But today, it’s hard for any citizen to steer clear of the tangled web of federal laws. Still the impeachers can’t find a law Trump’s broken. The liberal legal intelligentsia is to spin impeachment to serve their politics.

Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, one of four academics Nadler is calling to testify, has been gunning for Trump since day one, just like many House Dems. In an April 2017 interview, Feldman already urged impeachment. The grounds? Trump’s criticisms of the press. Feldman claims “the real purpose of impeachment at the deepest level is for Congress to express its beliefs about what the right way to be president is.”

Madison would have been appalled, and Americans today need to beware.

The Norma Desmond Drama Queen Of American Politics Soundbite Mini-Series is Not Playing Well in Peoria.

Anyone who has watched Adam Schiff's overly dramatic readings of his closing statements, as he looks directly into the television camera at the end of his House Committee to Lynch the President, I'm sure cannot help but be reminded of a badly scripted Hollywood production. The whole charade is for the purpose of cable news sound bites, grist for mill and media distribution. The left is trying to mobilize a modern day social media version of a vintage Hollywood film torch-bearing mob to throng the White House and drive Trump out of office.

But that's not what's happening.

People go about their lives. Nobody has been gathered around the water coolers at work, muttering 'Did you hear what Schiff said that guy said that Trump said?' Few among the American people are talking about this because they don't care. Not at work, not on the street. The American people are SICK of this convoluted 3-year democrat poopy-diaper baby tantrum.

The media is more concerned with celebrity opinion and political propaganda than telling the truth. But at least the media isn’t hiding their lies anymore.  In our intellectual environment today, we see an explosive growth of lying politicians once the media starts lying to us even a little. I’m not a prude when it comes to dishonesty. I expect people to lie, and some much more than others. All of us expect politicians lie as they try to get what they want. We certainly don’t expect the truth from these undisciplined attention addicts who will say anything to get elected. Today's leftist have taken the art to new heights once believed impossible in a free and patriotic America.  

The only thing that holds politicians in check is a spotlight from the press, and today the press is locked in the dark dank sphere of the democrats. We know the media lies to us because the politicians are never shamed into telling the truth. Every day the media reports bring fresh revelations of un-named sources about leaks,  wrongdoing and attempted cover-ups, with no evidence what so ever. Just headlines. More headlines, more soundbites.

In spite of what the media and democrats have been saying about voter support for impeaching DJT, the writing has been on the wall for weeks suggesting a path to disaster come election time. Several days of impeachment inquiry hearings have not helped them with voters they need most, independents. The latest Morning Consult poll, released Tuesday shows a dramatic drop in their support for the impeachment folly as well as a dramatic drop in their support for the inquiry:

The poll showed 47 percent of independents opposed the inquiry, compared to 37 percent last week. Meanwhile support for the inquiry by independents fell 7 points to 40 percent.

The democrats are day-by-day obviously falling further into disarray. And as the philosopher who's name slips my mind at the moment once said: "You can lead a dead horse to water but you can't double-down in the wake of keen partisans observers of tongue-wagging, else meet with an ignominious end in the land of contradictions."

Did Schiff's Star Witness Just Out Himself as Source for Whistleblower Complaint?

Vindman says he does not know the whistleblower’s identity, which conflicts with earlier testimony. Adam Schiff stops Nunes from completing his question.



Vindman, on October 29: “I do not know who the whistleblower is.”

Vindman and his lawyer, today: “I won’t tell you the name of the intel analyst I deliberately leaked to, because it would out the whistleblower.” 

Pick one, Vindman. Because one of those is a lie.

Hearings in Congress are Essentially Stage Plays.

EARL DONE THIS

With the exception of the most mundane budget hearing, if the stakes are high most congressional hearings from dramatic confirmation battles to today's impeachment circus investigations, everything is scripted and planned exactly as in a play. The plot and conclusion (findings) are pre-determined.  The actors (witnesses) are selected to make the specific ‘case’ that the director (majority) decided in advance. Actors (witnesses) are often coached in what to say, and their script (testimony), especially in high-profile plays like impeachment or the Kavanaugh hearing, may be written, coached or edited by the committee staff, and the actors (witnesses) may be coached when to cry or make alarming statements.  Props (graphics, videos, media presence, audience, etc.) will be carefully engineered.  About the only difference between a Congressional ‘play” and a stage play is that the minority is allowed some speaking roles.

So when the curtain goes up on each day’s impeachment hearing, do not expect anything but an entertainment play designed for high ratings and with a pre-ordained conclusion.  A show trial, produced like a play, masquerading as an impartial investigation.

Adam Schiff was supposed to be in his element pretending to be a character from The West Wing.  The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee reminded us why he never made it as a screenwriter.  With a few exceptions — the miniature speech from counsel about "quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, abuse of power of the office of the presidency" — he allowed his members to get bogged down in the details of a narrative that almost no one in the room has mastered.  It is difficult to argue that the president is guilty of a hideous crime because he seems to have considered withholding aid that Barack Obama was never willing to offer in the first place.

Adam Schiff's Circus Comes Complete With Drag Queen

MRC - Spotted towering over the gray and blue suits packed into the first day of President Donald Trump’s impeachment hearing was an enormous blond wig — that of Pissi Myles, a drag performer from Asbury Park, New Jersey.  Pissi Myles, as he likes to call himself (please Lord, we hope that doesn’t mean what we think it means), apparently fancies himself a journalist with a valid interest in covering impeachment politics. 

Pissi, a clearly overweight male, was wearing an offensively red, way-too-short dress, sparkly red heels, and a curly blonde wig so ostentatious that Honey Boo Boo would have fainted on sight.  It’s a nice reminder of just how much of a circus the Dems’ attempt at removing Trump is, with freaks like Pissi Myles being the enthusiastic rent-a-clowns. It says a lot about the Democratic party when drag queens have become their shock troopers.

NBCNews.com reported on the attendance of “the award-winning drag performer,” composing a headline that would have made the founding fathers seriously contemplate abandoning their American experiment. Read it and weep: “Drag Queen Sashays into Trump Impeachment Hearing.”

The most outlandish part of it all was that Miss Myles had her reporting rig all set up and ready to go. She was holding her phone with an extension arm, had her headphones in, and was giving viewers an up close and personal account of the morning’s proceedings.

NBCNews asked Miles how his day was going, to which he replied in classic camp fashion, “It’s a crazy day in Washington! I’m flipping my wig over the high-energy proceedings today.” Hmm, wow. Though Pissi was comically aware of the spectacle he generated, adding, “Tensions are high, and the bar for who’s allowed in the Longworth House is very, very low.”

You can say that again.

Looks Like Dems Are Gonna Need a Bigger Can of Turd Polish

News that Washington didn’t tell Ukraine it was delaying aid until a month after the President's phone call to its leader punches a gaping hole in Dems' impeachment case. The Ukraine President believed the military funding was already granted to Kiev when he spoke with DJA in August. Dems are charging the DJT held up the money to pressure Zelensky to probe Joe Biden and his son. Hard to see how that works when Zelensky didn’t know about the aid holdup, but hey, the media got it out there.

This follows the awkward fact that several of the whistleblower’s other claims about that call aren’t borne out by the transcript. Then the case grew fishier still when the New York Times reported that the whistleblower first consulted with a Schiff aide, who suggested he file a complaint. (and if you believe Schiff was at a distance on this point, I have a talking frog to sell you).  Add in Thursdays nine hours of testimony behind closed doors that turned out to be another smelly turd on the dems front porch.  Fact is, this is really starting to look as meatless as the “Russian collusion” fairy tale which explains why Schiff is bringing back a familiar fallback, warning that any resistance to Congress’ demands for testimony or documents counts as “evidence” of obstruction of justice. It's becoming quite obvious that dems pulled the trigger on impeachment before they had the goods.

This attempt is truly desperate: poorly planned from the beginning, and so poorly executed that every one of the conspirators, especially Adam Schiff, CNN’s Fredo Cuomo and Jake Tapper, MSNBC’s Ricky Maddow and Larry O’Donnell sound like used car salesman with one day left to hit their monthly quota.

Breitbart has a list of '11 facts that have already unraveled the Ukraine Hoax'.

The Impeachment Frenzy Is a Fire Hose of…....

by Jon Gabriel

Following political news is often compared to drinking from a fire hose. This is true on a slow day let alone the past week-plus of impeachment fever. Since the first Ukraine story hit, major media outlets have torn into Trump like piranhas on an ox carcass. Reporters have declared “we’ve got him this time” every day since 2015; they don’t want to miss their latest chance, damn the facts. 

And there are so many, ahem, “facts.” Each hour, another blockbuster hits. It takes about 90 minutes to prove many of these scoops false or at least questionable. By then, another blockbuster has hit, and another, and another. It’s a fire hose, alright. A fire hose of ….... 

Let’s just say the media uncorked a hydrant spraying taurine excreta throughout the Beltway and beyond. The fountain of feculence is hitting everyone in Trump’s orbit, from staffers to foreign leaders. The torrent of sewage is so intense, it’s splashing back on Trump’s accusers in the media and politics. Before Adam Schiff can shake the night soil off his too-tight suit, reporters uncap new firehoses showering more steer stool in every direction.

No one’s even holding the hoses at this point; they’re spasmodic snakes, spraying dung in every direction from Kyiv to Canberra. Everyone will come out looking awful; Democrats, Republicans, pundits — you name it. Instead of a logical impeachment roll-out to win support among moderates and a few errant Republicans, the common voter will likely damn everyone involved.

Yes, Trump’s Ukraine call was questionable but it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of impeachment. Hunter Biden’s cashing in on his dad’s name is obviously corrupt; most Democratic voters would agree with that. Investigating foreign influence on our elections is a good thing, whether it’s coming from Democrats or Republicans

Impeachment has been the left’s goal since December 2016 — before Trump even took office. Ukraine is just another bite of the apple after the Mueller report failed so spectacularly. The media hysteria over Ukraine feels a lot like the recent Greta hysteria. There’s no time to absorb facts, discuss options, or weigh pros and cons. We need to act now or else!

Hysteria is a poor strategy. It didn’t work for climate change or Kavanaugh or the many other panics we’ve been subjected to since Trump took office. How Trump’s detractors think this will end well is beyond me.

Dems Count on Media to Muddy The Waters Leading into Their Impeachment Gamble

Journalists use the tool of "anonymous sources" to push out stories of dubious repute, to push agendas, and do the bidding of their chosen political party. They hide behind the first amendment and defend the practice by saying it’s the only way you can get people to talk. But there are two major problems with this:

First, by definition a person who needs anonymity to be able to talk is probably not supposed to be talking, which means he or she is betraying someone else’s trust or privacy by doing so. And second, if we don’t know who the journalist’s source is then we’re left to assess the credibility of the report based on how much we trust the journalist, which they have made hard to do.

That’s not how this is supposed to work and with the whistleblower complaint concerning Ukraine, we’ve got that same problem, but an even more severe case of it. Not only do we not know who the whistleblower’s sources are, we don’t even know who the whistleblower is. So we’re being asked to trust second-hand reports from anonymous sources, conveyed to us by a “whistleblower” who is himself anonymous, and admits to not having witnessed any of what he’s complaining about.

And is it more than a coincidence that this complaint surfaced and was directed to the House Intelligence Committee just after Adam Schiff expressed numerous complaints in August 2019 accusing DJT of abusing aid to Ukraine to hurt Joe Biden. This includes an August 28 tweet that closely resembled the whistleblowing complaint.

Is it any surprise, then, that key details of the whistleblower’s story are falling apart? We already know there are details of the whistleblower’s complaint that are directly contradicted by the call transcript, such as Trump demanding a quid pro quo and Trump asking about Biden eight times. Now we know the whistleblower got at least some of the call participants wrong.  Is anyone starting to wonder if the whistleblower is Christopher Steele? Because this is starting to sound about as accurate as his notorious dossier.

The media will continue to dissect every syllable of every statement going forward and read some kind of devious intention to every word. Known unreliable media outlets will continue to introduce unsubstantiated rumors and old unproven unsourced news stories into the news cycle and never ending anti-Trump panel discussions to be referenced in later committee hearings as truth, dems in turn feed media talking points. Rinse and repeat. You can also expect a lot of want-to-be Woodward & Bernsteins "throwing crap out to see if anyone denies it" type journalism. This is the basis on which House Democrats presume to impeach the president, with media as their bullhorn.

UPDATE: Anyone who watched any 30 min block of CNN today saw the above paragraph illustrated para excellence.....

Adam Schiff Must Now Step Aside Because America Needs "More Everyday People In Congress" Says His Drag Queen Challenger

The Yapping Chihuahuas of Diversity Shall Turn and Bite You in the Ass 

The democrat party is now solidly the party of identity politics. They’ve gone to great lengths in recent years introducing Marxist concepts like intersectionality into their party’s platform. Like an oppression olympics, democrat politicians seem to have a scorecard rating them by their race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation to develop a score of how “untouchable” they are based on the groups, sub-groups, and sub-sub-groups the Left uses to scream bigotry at any question or criticism they don’t agree. The democrats have made a habit of crying racist/bigot/homophobe/nazi when anyone in their new caste system is given even the slightest scrutiny.

Shifty Adam Schiff (D-CA) now must prove his wokeness to the party because he faces a primary challenge from the nation’s first drag queen ever elected to public office. Maebe A. Girl (yes, this is a real name) will go face-to-heavily-made-up-face with Adam in an open primary challenging Schiff for his seat in the House for California’s 28th Congressional seat. Right now, Washington’s all messed up. Congress is full of rich white guys and Maebe wants to fix that; it’s time for Capitol Hill to get some regular ol’ everyday-American folks:

“We need more everyday people in Congress—its overwhelmingly older, white, wealthy men, and that’s just not representative of America, or my district.”

On Girl’s campaign website it states Girl is genderfluid/trans pronouns she/her, for those of you who aren’t sufficiently woke that means Girl is a man who identifies as a woman and prefers to be addressed as a woman and dresses like a woman. And since Girl’s gender is fluid that may explain why the legal name change included a term “maybe”.

By democrat standards, since Schiff is a raving cis-hetero white male (meaning he's cursed and knows what gender he really is and allegedly attracted to women) he has no right to stand in the way of diversity and should man-up and end his bid for re-election immediately. Unfortunately for Schiff those are the rules.  According to democrat orthodoxy if Schiff runs against Girl he is only perpetuating the oppression of the white male patriarchy and continuing the oppression of minority voices in “Trump’s America”. Anything less then pulling out of the race is obvious hypocrisy when it comes to the party’s claims of support for the LGBTQ community.

Remember that Rep.Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) of the Squad, insinuated that only members of a marginalized group can represent said marginalized group, so if you’re a democrat who claims to support LGBTQ rights you must demand Schiff step aside. Or else he may become Adaline Schiff.

Adam Schiff Takes Swing at DJT and AG Barr. Accidentally Punches Himself and Barky Obama Instead

Robert Mueller’s statement today about the special counsel’s report that was released almost in its entirety last month has, of course caught the attention of Rep. Adam Schiff, who was spinning it as best he could:

"Mueller confirmed today that Russia engaged in multiple systematic efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. 

In a rebuke of Barr, he also made clear that because of DOJ policy it is left to Congress—not the Attorney General—to evaluate the president’s misconduct. And we will." @twitter

Schiff accused AG Bill Barr of “misleading the American people” — a rich accusation coming from Schiffty. Maybe Schiff didn’t notice, but none of the BS he’s been trumpeting for the past two-plus years (with the MSM’s help) has come to fruition, not that he’ll ever stop lying. Mueller never mentioned the mythical evidence of collusion that Shiff has promised. And maybe Schiff can refresh our memories as to who was in charge when all this Russian crap went down:

It’s possible some Dems aren’t in a hurry for impeachment hearings because it would draw attention to many self incriminating details they’d rather remain below the surface. DJT still is holding his cards and it looks like it may be getting close to time to call the table.......

Judicial Appointees: One Important Reason America Cannot Survive As We Know It Without DJT

Obama Appointee DC Judge Amit Mehta Rules Against DJT.  A True Team Player

Whether you a passionate fan of DJT or not, if you're honest, you have to admit there's an ongoing, concerted attempt to remove him from office, hook or crook. We now have Congressional Committee leaders J. Fatman Nadler, Bullet Head Cummings and Adam Schiff all acting as a cadre of hit-men. Enter Fedral Judge Amit Mehta.

Monday, the DC District Court Judge ruled against Donald Trump in the case deciding whether Trump's accounting firm Mazars USA LLP must comply with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena of his past financial records. Judge Mehta, native born of India, product of Law School minority set asides, an Obama appointee and cog in his "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" and liberalization of the courts, was appointed to replace a retiring woman judge, Ellen Segal Huvelle.

What perhaps wasn't quite so expected by both parties was just how quickly Mehta issued his ruling.  Or was it?  For no apparent reason, Mehta began his ruling with the words of President James Buchanan, no one's favorite presidents to say the least, from a court case during a failed attempt at impeachment, that can be only be interpreted as a dig at DJT:

"I do, therefore, . . . solemnly protest against these proceedings of the House of Representatives, because they are in violation of the rights of the coordinate executive branch of the Government, and subversive of its constitutional independence; because they are calculated to foster a band of interested parasites and informers, ever ready, for their own advantage, to swear before ex parte committees to pretended private conversations between the President and themselves, incapable, from their nature, of being disproved; thus furnishing material for harassing him, degrading him in the eyes of the country . . ."

Ignoring the separation of powers, the good judge then showed his liberal bias by leaning on the word of that great Constitutional scholar, Bullet Head Cummings as justification:

"Courts have grappled for more than a century with the question of the scope of Congress's investigative power. The binding principle that emerges from these judicial decisions is that courts must presume Congress is acting in furtherance of its constitutional responsibility to legislate and must defer to congressional judgments about what Congress needs to carry out that purpose.

To be sure, there are limits on Congress's investigative authority. So long as Congress investigates on a subject matter on which "legislation could be had," Congress acts as contemplated by Article I of the Constitution. It is not for the court to question whether the Committee's actions are truly motivated by political considerations. Accordingly, the court will enter judgment in favor of the Oversight Committee." (emphasis mine)

Legislation could be had? Elijah Cummings and the Oversight Committee used in relation to grounds for the case as justification the sham excuse, and Mehta dutifully restates in his ruling, that the committee of dubious and questionable ethics was looking at "strengthening ethics and disclosure laws." As if anything about Trump's personal taxes or past financial records could somehow relate to any legislation Congress might legitimately take up.

Mehta closed with this statement:

"Plaintiffs have cited no case since Kilbourn from 1880 in which the Supreme Court or the D.C. Circuit has interfered with a congressional subpoena—because it either intrudes on the law enforcement prerogatives of the Executive or Judicial branches, seeks personal information unrelated to a legislative purpose, or demands records that lack "pertinency." This case does not merit becoming the first in nearly 140 years."

I guess we can theorize here and now Judge Mehta is a true Team player?

As many have said before me, the court system in America is tainted with present day bias. Many Obama appointed Judges have shown their personal bias in the last two years by consistently ruling against DJT and blocking legal policies simple because they personally do not agree with the processes. The Constitution is being ripped. Remaining in office and the reelection of DJT is mandatory for the survival of America. Without the neutralizing the loading of the courts via the Obama years of those who hold no respect for the Constitution as it was written is just one more reason, if not the most obvious, America will not survive as we know it without DJT's leadership.

Adam Schiff Pivots From Collusion Truther to Cranky Crybaby

Despite the fact Special Counsel Mueller debunked it and concluded that there is no provable evidence of collusion, Adam Schiff is desperately clinging to the Russia collusion delusion. And now Schiff has pivoted, saying that even if President Trump hasn’t committed any crimes, he should still be condemned because the Shitweasel just doesn’t like him.

“Whether these acts are criminal or not — whether the obstruction of justice was criminal or not — or whether these contacts were sufficiently illicit to rise to the level of a criminal conspiracy, they are unquestionably dishonest, unethical, immoral and unpatriotic. And should be condemned by every American. And that is how I think we should view the Mueller report.”

Schiff has repeatedly claimed that he has some secret evidence proving that Trump colluded with Russia and obstructed justice, but has never coughed up this supposed secret “evidence.” I suspect that with Bullethead's, Nadler's and Schiff's House committee's  'Russia, Russia Russia' investigations in full swing, the newest television 'Shitweasel Tour' is sure to start back up bright and early Monday morning.

Long before Trump's election, the Russians' goal was to create chaos in our electoral process. As long the democracts keep this political witchhunt going the more they help the Russians reach their goal. They are laughing at what the dems are doing to the US, something Russia couldn't have done on their own.....
