To Watch Their Impeachment Farce

Does anyone really believe the conclusion of Democrats’ impeachment “inquiry” isn’t predetermined? President Trump was guilty the moment he won the 2016 election — guilty of denying Democrats the massive spoils of federal power. Every moment since has just been searching for a pretext to remove him from office without an actual election. First Spygate, now the “impeachment inquiry.”
So it’s no surprise that just 13 million viewers tuned in for the first day of televised impeachment hearings last Wednesday, many fewer than for the Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford hearings last fall (20 million viewers) and for James Comey’s Russiagate testimony

I hope there are sane Dems who are opting out of viewing the farce are changing their votes to Republican next year.

No point in wasting time watching them open Al Capone's safe a second time. We already know there's nothing in there ... even though the Dems claim there is.

Have the media become rabidly partisan? Yes. But while most may tire of the cheerleading for the Dems, the Dems themselves don't seem to realize that it's empty flattery.
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. Schiff and Pelosi think it's sincere. But they are willingly trapped in a feedback loop. Rank and file Dems, especially those from iffy districts, are quite nervous about the prospect of stepping up and voting to impeach and having to explain their vote even if they are handed a script by their lefty leaders.
The media want a show. A WWE spectacular. A cage match. Their ratings are shrinking, their audiences less loyal due to entertainment alternatives too numerous to count. 50 years after Watergate and 25 years after OJ they're desperate for a daily soap opera to exploit for cash.
The Dems and the media are walking hand-in-hand down a garden path with both afraid to point out that there is nothing but mud and cow dung at the end.

This is ridiculous. The worthless dims seem to forget again that THEY are supposed to be working for America, not America working for them. In 2020, don't vote for anyone with a "D" after their name.

Um, Jim, Americans are still a free people. Not one of us has “an obligation” to watch what is clearly an illegal and unconstitutional one-sided farce filled with lying know-nothings led by a lying and arrogant imbecile and promoted by a lying and arrogant media.

The only reason I watch this farce is to see the Repubs destroy the witnesses. What a bunch of smug, narcisssistic people we have working in the State Dept. Too bad Trump can't fire them all and replace them with robots.

I don't think the dems really want Americans to hear Trump explain that their tax dollars were being used by Ukrainian thugs to give kick backs to American politicians back home. And he didn't want to provide the Ukrainians with anymore money until he knew if they had fixed their corruption.

Your basic double whammy: the show trial is run by a congenital liar and the witnesses are boring. I'd rather watch paint dry. It's a productive activity and the world is improved as a result.

Impeach Orange Man Bad because Vindman and Yavonovich have the sads and Trump, who sets foreign policy per the Constitution, is setting foreign policy per the Constitution. Abject stupidity is absolutely required for the MSM and Marxists to convince voters that this is why Trump should be impeached, and man, the MSM and the Marxists gots me the stupidity they need from the American voters (and probably the twenty Republican senators they need to convict and remove). Hint for you Rio Lindans; the MSM and Marxists are counting on most voters to NOT watch the impeachment hearings because voters are much easier to fool when ignorance is maintained.

As far as I am concerned, I have never watched a Mud Wrestling match. This Impeachment Kabuki is the 3-piece suit equivalent to that event. Besides, if it isn't Judge Judy, Warner Bros. cartoons or Perry Mason reruns. I'm not gonna watch it anyway.

I like the idea of crashing their ratings and making them wonder if it's worth it. America is not buying what you're selling, Dems.

I was a kid in the 50’s, born in ‘49
Television was classic back then
Now it’s just a whore box that I disdain.
We need our own news network nationwide
They have 3 to influence peddle their lies
Why can’t we have a daily news network?

WATCH IT PLEASE! It's really important to see both sides, and the Dems are not putting on that great a show. So good we live in a country where we still hear both sides, even though. Schiff tries so hard to rein in anyone who is making any strong points for the Republican side.
And the Republicans on the Intelligence Committee are all very sharp. They SHOULD be on an Intelligence Committee, and I agree Ms. Stefanik is a real shining star.
Rush is now saying on his program that Rep. Jackie Spier told The Hill that John Solomon should not be allowed to submit any more articles for their site. Solomon's articles are always well-sourced and important, so the Dems want them to disappear. Talk about the Democrats trying to manage the news.
I would not be surprised if it isn't the Democrats who are telling people not to watch the hearings because if we don't watch, then they can spin them any way they want to.

Two of the four commie networks dropped coverage today and resumed normal programming. The ratings drop must be killing them.
