More Games In The Sham Impeachment

The trial portion of the President Donald Trump impeachment was expected to wrap up today. Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland was not expected to call any witnesses. In fact, he indicated previously that he did not want to do so. All of the sudden, there is information that they need to get to the bottom of. There is a new, not new revelation from Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler that Trump was aware of what was going on and refused to help.

The reason that this is not a new revelation is that she indicated this was her reason for voting to impeach Trump. She is one of only ten Republicans who did so.

This is not new. She said this for over a month now. If the Democrats had actually held a proper impeachment hearing they could have called her as a witness and asked her what took place. Instead, they rushed to judgement and now the impeachment managers are left to find evidence at trial. According to Herrera Beutler, Kevin McCarthy called Trump as the mostly peaceful protest was going on and told the President he needed to call his supporters off. When told by Trump that these were Antifa (Antifa involvement is something most news articles describe as discredited), McCarthy told him, no these are your people. It is then that Trump is alleged to have said “Well Kevin, I guess they are more upset about the election than you are.”

It looks like the Kavanaugh hearing debacle all over. Wait until you are ready to wrap up and see if you are losing. If you are, then call in a witness and bring new allegations.

Here are some problems I see.

It is possible this took place as described. Going on TV or sending Tweets would not have stopped any of the mostly peaceful protests. The people inside the building were not watching TV or reading tweets. Besides, when Trump did tweet that day Twitter removed his tweets. He called for calm and those tweets were removed.

Trump is not in charge of the Capitol police or the DC National Guard. Congress is in charge of the police and the DC Mayor is in charge of the guard. President Trump offered extra help in the days leading up to January 6th and was told no extra help was needed. Mayor Bowser said she had it all under control. Trump has a duty to act if the country is being attacked but when this went down it was nothing more than a riot, the same kind of riot that took place against the White House in the summer. The same kind the left refused help for and cried when pepper spray was used. A riot is under the purview of the police (and/or the National Guard).

Herrera Beutler has no first hand knowledge. Since the beginning when she asserted this incident as her reason to vote to impeach she has stated that McCarthy TOLD her what Trump said. She did not hear it for herself and has no idea what was actually said.

It reminds me of a joke where a Texas Ranger was chasing a Mexican bandit who had stolen a lot of money in a robbery. As the Ranger gained on him the bandit threw the money down an abandoned well. The Ranger caught up to him and asked where the money was but the Mexican bandit only spoke Spanish and the Ranger did not. A man was riding by and the Ranger asked him if he spoke Spanish and he indicated he did. He said ask this guy where he put the money. The reply was I am not telling. So the Ranger pulls his pistol and points it at the bandit’s head and says, tell him if he does not tell me, right now, where that money is I am going to blow his brains all over the desert then he cocks the hammer. The man tells him and the Mexican bandit says, in Spanish, tell him not to shoot, please, I have a family, tell him the money is an that abandoned well over there. With that the interpreter looks at the Ranger and says, he said go ahead and shoot he is not telling you.

Without actually hearing what was said (and understanding it) one cannot possibly give a first hand accounting.

They could call McCarthy but he did not vote to impeach and he has not made any statements, that we are aware of, that Trump said what has been reported.

Even if Trump said it that is not an impeachable offense. How could he possibly stop what was going on? I indicated earlier that if he went on TV no one would see it and no one was reading tweets but his were being taken down anyway.

Do we now impeach Obama because he incited Ferguson and did nothing to get them to stop? Do we impeach Harris and a whole slew of Democrats because they incited and encouraged riots all summer and then did nothing to stop them?

We have police officers to maintain law and order. It looks like the Capitol Police failed in doing that. Funny thing is when police departments were told to stand down and when politicians across the country refused to stop riots (and refused help from Trump) these were seen as good things. But let the police stand down in the Capitol and it is quite another.

As for the claim being made by the propaganda media that Antifa was not involved and this has been debunked, well you can add that to the list of other issues they have been gaslighting you on. Free and fair elections, no cheating took place, Joe Biden is not suffering from dementia, etc.

Antifa was there. Antifa started and instigated the riot. The video footage the House Impeachment Managers are showing as evidence was recorded by a member of Antifa and he happens to be one of the first people arrested in connection with it. There are videos of Antifa members changing out of Trump gear, rioting and then changing back into Trump gear. There were certainly supporters of the president in the Capitol. The video I saw of them has them walking around taking pictures like they are on a tour. The Antifa and others I saw were damaging things and causing trouble. That is not to say that some of the folks who were causing trouble were not Trump supporters. It was not ALL them as the left and its media wing would have you believe.

I do wonder though. What happens if the defense attorneys take depositions from people who were arrested that day or who were on film that day and they say that they were incited by [enter name of Democrat here]. Will the focus be changed? Will they go after that person?

After the beating the Impeachment Managers took yesterday, one that had Alan Dershowitz saying the defense had won the case, they had to come up with something. You can always count on them dragging a hooker or a reprobate, or someone less honorable like a member of Congress, from someplace and changing the focus on some invented act. None of that changes the fact that Trump did not cause it and he had no method to stop it. And if it was a riot, as was reported, it was up to the police and/or the National Guard to stop it.

They are trying hard but I doubt this will stop anything. I doubt they will get 17 people to convict when they have already said it was unconstitutional.

As for the four or five Republican Senators who voted to move forward with witnesses, your time will come. We will work hard to remove you from office and replace you with someone who has a spine.

They Will Always Fix It In The Future

After the November election I remarked that the cheating would be handled like all other criminal activities the government or its players are involved in. They would claim it does not exist or was not enough to make a difference. They would run out the clock with the courts and Congress along with the state legislatures would slow walk an effort until the election was certified and then they would all say; well we need to make sure this never happens again.

Make no mistake, this one is going a bit differently, but not much. The difference is the left is going all out to destroy anyone who brings up the fraud. They have worked with Tech to deplatform people and people are being put out of jobs because of it. The left is all in on destroying anyone who supported President Trump, who is conservative or who believes in the Constitution. They are set on getting their agenda passed no matter what.

Republicans are, for the most part, spineless. They say there was no voter fraud and then claim we need to take action to clean up the voter fraud.

Remember though, I always claimed they would pretend that they were doing something and then, when it was too late, they would come up with the evidence or rulings favorable to Trump. Courts have now been ruling on the actions taken by states with regard to mail in ballots. To refresh your memories, the states changed the rules without involving their legislatures, which is a violation of the Constitution.

This argument was made before and after the election. A Supreme Court Justice issued a court order for Pennsylvania to segregate those ballots but the order was ignored and no one got in trouble. The Trump people had valid concerns about the mail in ballots but those were ignored or delayed until after Chairman Xiden tool office. Now courts are ruling that the way ballots were handled violated the law and they should not have counted. Just a little too late but just as I predicted.

The government is good about saying they need to fix something so that it never happens AGAIN. They allow the crime to stand and pledge to fix it so it will not happen again; Then they talk a good game and fix nothing.

It is a sham game. They will send out the fund raiser emails begging you to contribute so they can beat the evil Democrats. Nothing ever gets fixed but fools get separated from their money.

This is why they hated President Trump. He did what he said he was going to do. That does not fly with the swamp dwellers.

Let’s vote them out in the next election;. We need to get rid of anyone who did not support Trump or who turned their backs on him when it got tough.

And while we are at it we need to defeat Chairman Xden and his party of un-American thieves.

They are going to keep pushing until enough people are ticked off to boot them out of office BY ANY MEANS.

Trump vs Biden

Here we are…

 

For the entirety of the Trump administration, Liberals and their fellow-traveler media mouthpieces decried Donald Trump as a dictator, Putin puppet, agent of Russia, a billionaire for billionaires, a Hitler-wannabe, and much worse.  He was deemed a ‘threat to our very democracy’ by many from the Democrat side of the aisle, so much so that they literally impeached him (with no mention of criminal conduct in the Articles of Impeachment).  Trump was assumed to be a White Supremacist, a racist, a homophobe, and a sexist, that would end all of the ‘rights’ that every minority had obtained in the last several decades.  It would be the very personification of ‘The Handmaiden’s Tale’.  Well, now the Trump administration is history, replaced by the new Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration.  How does the report card look for the prior admin?  How is the new admin shaping up?  Let’s dig.

In spite of the incredible rhetoric mentioned above, none of it happened.  After the multi-year, multi-million dollars Mueller Probe, not a single link to Russia or Putin was discovered.  Zero.  The media led viewers and readers to believe that ‘collusion’ was a crime, punishable by removing Trump from office. They breathlessly reported that the Trump downfall was imminent, in their nightly newscasts.   Except it not only isn’t codified as a crime, Mueller couldn’t find a single instance of it. Epic failure:  he served out his entire term.  The party-line vote for punishment in the Senate for the impeachment fiasco didn’t end his term–only losing the election (fairly or unfairly) did so.

 

As a dictator, Trump was the worst in history:  He donated his entire quarterly salary for his office to charities; he allowed nearly every media outlet the ability to bash him nightly, and none of them ‘disappeared’;  he somehow managed to lead the Executive Branch for four years without rescinding a single ‘right’; he championed tax rate changes for nearly the entire tax base, rather than just for the billionaire class (but by capping mortgage interest and State Income Taxes, some folks tax bills did increase); the tax rate cuts, especially for businesses, led to some of the lowest unemployment numbers ever recorded, for nearly every minority sector; he championed international agreements to decriminalize homosexuality; his admin fulfilled a promise made but not kept by the last several Presidents—he moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; his administration not only was the first since maybe WWII to NOT engage in new wars, they also brokered FOUR unheard-of peace deals between Israel and other Middle-eastern countries; Trump’s energy policies led to US energy independence for the first time in living memory; his administration had female, gay, and other minorities represented throughout, including two quite capable female Press Secretaries.  Would a real dictator do ANY of those things?

Was it all positives?  Not hardly.  Even pre-COVID-19, Trump’s brash, in-your-face demeanor pushed many people away from him.  His true-to-form New York businessman attitude, along with the associated braggadocio, was anti-diplomatic.  His penchant for name-calling, especially as a method of counter-punching anyone that publicly bashed him, was felt WAY beneath the level of Presidential.  His signing of TRILLION-dollar omnibus bills, along with tariff-heavy foreign policy, drove method Conservatives crazy.  And the mixed reviews (real and imagined) of Trump’s handling of the COVID pandemic added to the ammunition of the media that already despised him, before he was even sworn in.

But now he is a private citizen again, enjoying his mid-70s down in his estate in Florida—although he was impeached by the House of Representatives again, this time for ‘inciting’ an unarmed ‘insurrection’. If that reads like an oxymoron, it is.  The Senate will waste more taxpayer funds and time to adjudicate the latest Article of Impeachment, even though the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—Constitutionally required to preside over such a trial—has refused to run that circus.  The only intent here is to smear Trump’s legacy, and possibly prevent him from running for President again in 2024.  Since the normal goal of impeachment is to remove the officeholder from his position, and he no longer holds office, it is the very definition of a ‘moot point’.  The festivities continue.

What about the incoming, new Biden administration?  In his first 10 days in office, Biden has signed or intends to sign, FORTY Executive Orders!  Bypassing Congress, even though his party nominally controls both the House and the Senate, Biden seeks to reverse nearly ALL of the policies of the Trump admin.  Everything from energy production to immigration to ‘transgender rights’, Biden has determined the best approach to right the wrongs (or temper the successes, depending upon point of view) of the prior administration is to do so via EO decree.  Oddly enough, the media is mostly silent, as Biden is actually behaving exactly like the dictator they falsely accused Trump of for his entire term.

The folks in Democrat-controlled Congress are equally silent, regarding Biden’s EOs.  In fact, they have made noises as extreme as silencing or criminalizing any dissenting opinions.  They are seeking an environment where they would never lose power again:  eliminating the Senate filibuster; adding ‘the right kind’ and number of justices to the Supreme Court to get their view of favorable rulings; ending the Electoral College method of selecting the President; Federal takeover of the States’ election process; adding Puerto Rico and Washington DC as new States, just to add more assumed Democrat Senators to the mix. Several of those topics are anti-Constitution, which should require an Amendment to enact, but they don’t seem to care much about that dusty, old, antiquated document. So, after claiming Trump was Putin, Biden and the Congress are currently impersonating Stalin and the Communist Party, respectfully.  We’ll see if the remainder of the Biden administration continues this trend, or if the 2022 mid-terms change the trajectory.  We live in interesting times.

Too Late To Make A Difference

There was widespread fraud across battleground states during the 2020 election. Joe Xiden was the beneficiary of ballot dumps and machine manipulations and he was helped immensely by the mail in ballot fraud and the lax rules, rules that run contrary to the Constitution.

The rejection rates for mail in ballots were substantially lower than in years past. Now this is not just compared to the last election, it is compared to the history of mail in ballots. This was by design to ensure that Xiden had as many votes as possible and those were still not enough. That is why a number of battleground counting places “closed” at the same time and sent the watchers home. They needed to cheat and cheat they did.

I had remarked that this would not be resolved, the allegations would be ignored, the election would be certified and THEN Republicans would say; Ya know, we need to do something to tighten up elections. There was cheating in the last one and we need to pass some laws to fix that.

As an aside, the same people who say there was no evidence of widespread fraud will now work to change laws because of the widespread fraud they say did not exist.

Snap back to reality. In Georgia, a state with massive election fraud, a newly elected Republican state Senator has introduced legislation that would require a copy of two forms of ID for a mail in ballot.

Since the GA Secretary of State and Governor ignored the law and changed things instead of having the legislature do it (as required by the US Constitution) how exactly will this solve anything? They could just as easily ignore an ID law. They could say well we entered into an agreement that if only one ID is there to go ahead and accept it.

Until states write laws that have teeth to them and include provisions for adjudication (like allowing the legislature to convene without anyone else’s permission) of claims of fraud then there is nothing to look at here.

If the people who cheat can do so with the knowledge that they will not be caught and if they are (they were caught on video in GA) they would be safe from prosecution they will keep doing bad things. If they know that even if caught the cheating will not be addressed or overturned then there is no reason for them to stop.

Try having laws that allow the legislature to act independently for election issues and that provide for very long prison sentences for people who engage in fraud. Prison sentences with no chance of early release.

Look, this thing in GA is a start but we are well past doing any good. The left used Dominion voting machines to manipulate results and engaged in good old ballot stuffing while changing the rules (all justified by Covid doncha know) and were successful. Unless we widescale prosecutions with public disclosure of all the fraud this will just continue until people get upset.

And the people are like the Incredible Hulk. Don’t make them angry, you wouldn’t like them when they are angry.
