I wonder if Nancy Pelosi is regretting her decision in making Adam Schiff one of the House managers for the impeachment trial? He managed to drag Russia Russia Russia into the mix, and then this
House Democrats launched into lengthy arguments that broke little ground, if any, in President Trump’s impeachment trial Wednesday — as the head impeachment manager, California Rep. Adam Schiff, suggested that Russians could attack the U.S. and insisted that removing Trump from office was necessary because the integrity of the 2020 election could not be “assured.”
Trump’s lawyers sat by, waiting their turn, as the president blasted the proceedings from afar, threatening jokingly to face off with the Democrats by coming to “sit right in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.”
The challenge before the House managers has been clear. Democrats were given 24 hours over three days to prosecute the charges against Trump, trying to win over not just fidgety senators sitting silently in the chamber but an American public, deeply divided over the president and his impeachment in an election year. (snip through paragraphs noting many were bored with the long winded speeches)
Perhaps sensing the ennui in the chamber on Day 2 of the trial, Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, sought to keep the stakes high. He suggested at one point that military aid to Ukraine was essential so the U.S. would not have to fight Russians at home, as soldiers did in the videogame “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.”
“As one witness put it during our impeachment inquiry, the United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there, and we don’t have to fight Russia here,” Schiff said, drawing rebukes from commentators across the political spectrum.
Huh what?
Schiff attracted the most criticism, however, for later making the head-turning argument that Trump must be removed from office by the Senate — rather than by voters in the 2020 election — because it is impossible to be sure the 2020 election won’t be compromised.
“The president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,” Schiff remarked. He did not elaborate.
OK, don’t believe Fox?

That should pretty darned concerning for everyone. A top drawer elected Democrat saying that you should not be able to vote. He’s also laying the groundwork for Dems to say that the election was fraudulent if Democrats lose. Anytime you hear Democrats yammer about “saving our democracy” think back to Schiff’s statement
“And right here is proof of the Democrats’ plan all along,” Trump campaign director of communications Tim Murtaugh said in response. “Every moment of the impeachment sham has been geared toward interfering with the 2020 election. Schiff is preemptively calling into question the results of an election that is still more than 9 months away.”
Don’t think that Schiff saying voters are too stupid to know what’s best won’t show up in a Trump campaign ad.
“The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming…”
Don’t be Adam.

The WHORE LEFTIST BILLIONAIRE BLOOMBERG is trying to BUY THE NOMINATION. He has already spent like 200 million dollars and is threatening to spend 1-2 billion against Trump attacking him.
If he wins the nomination he will spend 3-4 billion of his own and 2 billion of the Democrats.
He is a billionaire scumbag whore trying to BUY the democratic party just like he spent astounding amounts of money in VIRGINIA IN 2018 to buy that state a DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE.
The left has no shortage of RICH BILLIONAIRE WHORES while they complain about the 1 or 2 in the GOP. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Trump calls him mini mike. I call him TOMB BERG because he is trying to destroy the GOP and the DEMOCRATS with his own money.
He has likely figured out that he doesn’t have long to live and most of that money will go to taxes instead of his heirs anyway. So he may as well spend it himself. Shame he couldn’t find a homeless vet to spend it on. Or maybe even throw a few thousand at a single mother immigrant from Guatemala. He is playing a game only the rich can afford to play. In his favor, at least he is spending his own money. The other rich white people (Sanders, Warren, Biden, Harris) all expect to spend other people’s money on their vanity projects.
Nah, he’s a die hard leftist and is trying to buy absolution for his crummy morality. He’s buying his stairway to Jewish heaven. It really doesn’t matter whose money he spends to turn America into a communist one party state, it’s evil regardless.
Trump 2020 Keep America American
The other rich white people (Trump, DeVos, Koch, Devos, Adelson, Ellison, Cohen, Walton, Anshutz, Ross) all expect to spend other people’s money on their vanity projects.
Certainly you can’t object to Mr. Bloomberg spending his own hard-earned money as he sees fit.
Would you support a law to keep rich people, rich organizations, other nations and rich corporations from “buying” elections?
tRump claims to be a multi-billionaire yet spends money donated by little people. In fact, Papa Doc is using the presidency to make money.
You people are so fuked up in the head by Trump you can’t make a comment about anything without invoking his name. It is so funny. Are you gonna be like this all through his second term too?
You’re so lame. If Trump used his own money you morons would scream he bought the election, but since he used campaign money he’s bad for using “little people’s” money (which is why they and I donated it). Can’t win with you lying hypocrites.
Trump 2020 Make Bloomberg spend 10 billion to lose!
“Would you support a law to keep rich people, rich organizations, other nations and rich corporations from “buying†elections?”
That’s a multi faceted question but in general I would support a law putting a certain cap on money that can be spent by each candidate in each election. I have no clear idea of how much that should be but I know it’s nowhere near $50 million. That’s crazy. Plus, any and all money collected above the limit will be used to pay for the wall and when that’s completed pay down the debt.
I would also love to see a wind turbine field erected all along Martha’s Vineyard but that ain’t gonna happen either. As long as the leftist Democoms are making money off the rich white guys nothing will change in election finance reform.
Trump 2020 Another four years of America WINNING!
And of course how would you feel if this was the koch brother Buying Michigan or spending 2 billion of his own money against democrats?
Surely it is only okay for TOMB BERG to spend money against Trump.
I get it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. And you talk about Trump spending the little guys money.
Exactly That is what BERNIE is doing. THAT IS WHAT OBAMA DID.
But not TOMB BERG the destroyer of political parties including YOUR OWN. As a progressive that we all know you are not, you would abhore this and in fact.
Can Bloomberg Buy the Election for $12 Billion? If So, He Can Write the Check Today
But we know your an establishment HRC supporter and not a progressive.
The left is silent on TOMB BERG afraid he will take out is billions on any one of them.
Bloomberg’s mission has changed from law enforcement to simply increasing gun regulations. AS SOON AS THE LEFT WAS BOUGHT AND PUT IN POWER IN VIRGINIA WHAT IS HAPPENING? Gun grabbing.
Bloomberg Dismisses Texas Hero, Insists It Wasn’t His “Job†to Have a Gun or Decide to Shoot
$50 Million To Buy Elections
That’s how much Bloomberg planned to spend pushing his gun-control agenda during the 2014 election cycle.
He TRIPLED DOWN IN VIRGINIA IN 2018.
Background Checks for Family Members?! Bloomberg-Bought Virginia Legislature Seeks to Ban Private Firearms Transfers
Bloomberg Wants Armed Guards for Alma Mater as He Seeks to Disarm Average Citizens
Why IS TOMB BERG IS SUCH A TIZZY OVER GUN CONTROL.
Perhaps that might be his fortune is in DISINFORMATION AND LIES< COVERUPS AND DECEPTION. Perhaps its because Bloomberg news is all about FAKE NEWS and he has to take down Trump and the right and put them in their place.
News Flash: Michael Bloomberg Not a Fan of the First Amendment, Either
The WAPO wrote a negative Article about TOMB BERG. Oh the humanity. He is the ultimate NANNY STATER and is diametrically opposed to everything WAPO and NYT stands for.
Mr. Bloomberg, the founder of the eponymous Bloomberg L.P., a privately-held financial information and media company that operates Bloomberg News, indicated in a radio interview earlier this month, that, “[q]uite honestly, I don’t want the reporters I’m paying to write a bad story about me… I don’t want them to be independent.â€
To ensure that the coverage from his own news outlet would be consistent with these expectations, he added that, should he run for president, one option would be to eliminate any political reporting by his employees. Kathy Kiely, who wrote the Post story, is herself the former politics editor at Bloomberg News who resigned in 2016 over concerns that the media company could not cover its owner’s possible presidential run in the same way that it reported on other candidates.
TOMB BERG is out to buy the nomination and then BUY the election. He has indicated he might spend 8-12 billion on a presidential bid.
Here’s a better proposal for any progressive out there who doesn’t want billionaire candidates to start with a huge advantage. This would be cleaner and simpler than the system we have, and that’s what the progressive Left says it wants. Or Democrats could leave the regulations as they are — if they like Mike.
The progressive LEFT agrees with me. The Establishment agrees with ELWOOD and remember the left has a new mantra VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!
It’s even worse than that, Chumpchange. The ravenous for our rights leftists are out for the First now in Virginia since they are ignoring the people with regard to the 2nd.
” In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials.
House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.â€
Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.
“If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor,†the legislation reads.
The legislation makes it clear that the above provision applies directly to “the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia,†which means this legislation effectively criminalizes dissent against public officials.
Tina Freitas, wife of Republican Delegate Nick Freitas, called attention to this intolerable act in a Facebook post on Tuesday night.
“Wow on cue, now they are after the 1A! Dems are trying to set up special rules exclusive to the Elite ruling class, to protect themselves from criticism!†Freitas wrote.”
They are tyrants and communists through and through. Just like Elwood.
Trump 2020 Make the commies cry!
Just like coward leftists to pass bills protecting their own asses while taking away the constitutional rights of others. Trust the government is their cry. The same government they complain about when it is run by Trump and adore when it is run by Obama.
The lives of the left must be a farcical shit show filled with alternating dreams and nightmares.

These were existing laws in the Virginia Code with the proposed expansion to cover the listed government officials.
Most of the existing law in the Code protected individuals from threats of death or bodily injury, and bomb threats to buildings. Do you agree that at the federal level threats of death to or bodily injury to a president or his/her family, or bomb threats should be taken seriously?
Italicized portion is the original §18.2-152.7:1
If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Here’s the proposed new sentence:
A violation of this section may be prosecuted in the jurisdiction in which the communication was made or received or in the City of Richmond if the person subjected to the act is one of the following officials or employees of the Commonwealth: the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.
If the original §18.2-152.7:1 was OK, why is including government officials now considered communism? If spelling out to prosecute the violator in Richmond if the treat is made against the listed officials and gov’t employees. That is communism??
Defeat tRump: Make Putin cry!
We beseech thee, please look beyond social media.

But we all know Blackface is trying to establish his own Commie tyranny in VA. If the laws were good enough before Monday, they’re probably still good enough.
What Blackface wants is for any criticism of him or his regime
If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

How dast the people be allowed to enjoy their 1st Amendment rights to peaceable assembly, free speech, and petition for the redress of grievances?
How dast they expect equal justice under the law.
If the original §18.2-152.7:1 was OK, why is including government officials now considered communism? If spelling out to prosecute the violator in Richmond if the treat is made against the listed officials and gov’t employees. That is communism??
Actually, it is. Blackface wants to be able to jail anybody who holds up a sign wanting to recall him and his crew.
Defeat tRump: Make Putin cry!
Ain’t happenin’, but keep it up. Morons like you are what is making Trump’s approval climb even higher.
Did you know blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, and women were out in force standing with all those white supremacists you hate so much?
We beseech thee, please look beyond social media.
He actually thinks this is going to help the Demos?
Wotta maroon.

You’re afraid to link, white supremacist-supporting moron.

Of course, there was. If that was there only law it would have been inconsequential. It is not. They are even banning private transfers of arms from father to son. Etc. Their description of assault weapons literally allows them to take every weapon ever made leaving the public unarmed.
The rally was filled with blacks, whites and political opponents including Democrats, Republicans, Black Panthers and ANTIFA chapters all marching in protest.

the left is just gun-grabbing cowards. Michael Bloomberg and every candidate on the democratic stage is horrified of guns.

“The president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won,†Schiff remarked.
Translation from Moronese: “We cheated like hell last time, and you people STILL didn’t vote the way we told you to!”
tRump lost the popular vote by about 3 million.
Hillary was slaughtered with only 227 electoral votes to Trump’s landslide victory of 304. So fuk you too.
American voters preferred Secretary Clinton. States don’t vote, people do.
Why so bitter? You won! tRump will not be convicted by the Senate. We are stumbling to the right-wing authoritarianism you desire. You won’t be satisfied until all your enemies are destroyed!! LOL.
States do vote. People vote. We are a representative form of government.
The VERY REASON the United States almost did not become the United States was because of the popular vote Idea.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The Founding Fathers established it in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
If you remember originally the elites did not want to grant the power to the people to elect a president. If you read up on the history of the USA in the first 100 years of our nation the amount of hatred by both sides against the other pales in comparrison to today. And both sides were armed meaning the violence was no greater or less than today.
So if you do away with the electoral college then:
What reason is there to have a Senate Elwood? Where Wyoming has the same power as California? What were they thinking if they wanted the POPULAR VOTE to matter so much?
I personally do not think the popular vote matters. If you look at Senate races state by state they are dramatically different.
WEST VIRGINIA has a Democratic Governor and One Senator is Democratic. Yet the popular vote always votes Ruby Red in the presidential election. Explain that one to me?
It shows the power of a representative government. Wyoming had a very popular two term Democratic governor for 8 years yet it votes GOP in national elections by 79-21. Explain that to me.
Why does Trump even matter to the left? It is because Congress has given the president too much power.
The left knows that the president oversees the government. They live and die by the government. Therefore they understand that not having the president having this ASTOUNDING POWER to WILL INTO LAW with his pen a law is insanely Overpowered. but we did it. The democrats let Barrack Obama do it without protest and now Trump is doing it with major outrage from the left.
America is doomed to failure. It is literally falling apart at the seems when people LIKE ELWOOD accuse Trump of being a Treasonous president working for PUTIN.
It saddens me that we have come to this. It further saddens me that the left is screaming about Trump spending 4 million on facebook ads and yet TOMB BERG HAS SPENT 13 million in a month.
George Soros claims Trump and Facebook are colluding to reelect Trump again. I wonder his thoughts on TOMB BERG’s spendind and the fact he has started a shadow operation outside of the DNC to run social media. Look it up.
The popular vote and the politics of social media will destroy the world and the first one to go down the tubes will be America.
Where do you get “bitter” from? I’m gloating, not bitter. There is NO right wing “authoritarianism” in the US and there NEVER has been. Just like there has never been a theocracy here even when 95% of Americans were Christian. That’s not the way we roll, Elwood which is why we created this Republic to begin with. You do realize my ancestors made This Republic, don’t you?
Any attempts to subvert our rights come from the left like their latest attacks on the first and second amendments in Virginia and idiotic “no knock” Red Flag laws like Soviets or Nazi’s or other left wingers. Or even their “speech laws” on and sometimes off campuses. Remember, it was the Republicans what freed the slaves and it was the Democrats what made Japanese internment a state policy.
It is obvious that the Democrat Party is at war with America, and Democrats are not interested in stopping any time soon. As the commie who works for Bernie was recorded saying they want us in “reeducation camps” or dead. Period. The Democrat Party today is as lethal as the Nazi’s or the Soviets ever were and don’t kid yourself.
The radical left enjoys controlling people from cradle to grave. (Sounds like Muslims.) They want socialism. They want to be in charge for eternity. The leftist agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and fosters government reliance, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, promotes sharia law, denigrates the sanctity of marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship and much more.
For decades, the Democrat Party has shown by both words and deeds that they despise the U.S. Constitution while they bend over backward to embrace Islamist’s, illegal aliens, and anyone who hates America and feels entitled. The left is interested only in power and nothing else — even if it means sacrificing our safety and security.
In short, America is on a precarious path to lose its freedom and our Constitution we have cherished for over 200 years. We must accept that the current Democrat Party is no longer the party of Kennedy. It has become the greatest threat to our national security and our survival as a nation. They are the enemy within. Learn it or they will kill us.
Trump 2020 If you want to Keep America FREE!
The only racists in this country are Democrats and leftists who keep screaming about racism and terrifying Blacks and Hispanics away from the GOP. Almost every Republican I know is not the least bit racist and in fact, we are ALL angry at the way blacks, Hispanics and white people are treated by the democrats who keep them herded on the plantations for their own personal vote harvesting.
Everything is racism for the left. If they don’t have 95 percent of the black vote and 70-75 percent of the Hispanic vote.
If those totals change to 70 percent of the black vote and 60 percent of the Hispanic vote. They lose power.
I and my White Friends are not racists. We want the GOP to embrace Blacks and Hispanics and Asians, and Jews and people of all racists into our party, because I can promise them that the new Trump GOP is less racist and more interested in their welfare than the democrats have ever been.
A black only has to look at their lot in 1960 and then in 2020 and ask themselves. This is what the democrats have given me for 60 years. How am I any better?
If they honestly answer that question they will realize that in 3 years Trump and the GOP has done more for them that the democrats have in 60 years and still trump only got 8 percent of their vote.
A persistent undercurrent in Repub circles is that Jews, Blacks, immigrants etc aren’t rational, smart or honest enough to recognize it’s the GOP who REALLY have their best interests in mind. LOL. It’s an irony lost on conservatives as they look down the barrel of a demographic nightmare.
We would love for America (and the GOP) to leave their racist policies behind. If the GOP wants to attract minorities they will have to do it with policy not argument.
Why don’t “the Blacks” recognize all that tRump is doing for them? Because they don’t see much difference. You may as well ask why all those women didn’t appreciate all Harvey Weinstein did for them.
It wasn’t liberal policy that created urban segregation, it was American policy.
Let’s approach this a different way. What policies do you propose to remedy the widening gap in income and wealth inequality? White household income is nearly double Black household income. White household wealth is over 10 times Black household wealth.
The working poor in America, whether white or black, are not seeing the American dream.
Being Free is The American Dream you moron, it’s not measured in dollars. That’s why you all suck. There is always income inequality, in every country, under every system and throughout all history. The very fact that people are all different assures there will be income inequality. The only equality any system can and should insure is equality under the law and the left in this country makes a mockery of that daily with “exceptions” for their “special victims”.
No system can make people equal, it can only treat people equally. You can start by not accusing the political right of every evil under the sun.
” What policies do you propose to remedy the widening gap in income and wealth inequality?” I have no ideas, what would you propose? I do know destroying capitalism is not the answer. Perhaps killing the crony capitalism that so many “connected” people use to cook the books and subvert the real meaning of capitalism could be a start. But stealing all the money from the wealthy will only prove it doesn’t pay to succeed in America and the government has become tyrannical.
You want to play a game of poker where everybody wins. Sorry poker and life don’t work that way. The best we can do is play both poker and life by the same set of rules and let the chips fall where they may. Anything more than that is despotism.
Trump 2020 Don’t let the despots win!
