Jerry Nadler: Our Case ‘Proven
Beyond Any Doubt at All’
Posted By: Imright, 1/30/2020 6:34:26 AM
House impeachment manager Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) repeatedly told the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Wednesday night that the House case was “proven beyond any doubt at all.”Nadler’s odd, and repeated, claim seemed to undermine claims by Democrats that they needed to see more witnesses and documents in the trial. The House Judiciary Committee chairman played an unusually understated role in the first day of the question-and-answer session in the Senate. Republicans have asked that if Democrats are so confident in their case

As it appears more and more likely that the Senate will be moving to exclude witnesses and acquit Donald Trump, the journalistic reaction has become frenzied. After MSNBC compared it to letting a wife beater go, NBC’s Jon Meacham on Friday fretted that the Senate is making Trump a “king” who is “above the law.” He warned, “President Trump is functionally a monarch at this point. If the king does it, it's okay.” The NBC historian panicked, “I think the significance of today and going into the weekend and into next week is, I think, it is now arguable... that Donald Trump may well have now
President Trump and Melania Trump were spotted leaving the White House, along with the First Lady's parents, to spend the weekend in Florida. The Trumps were all smiles as they held hands and waved while crossing the White House's South Lawn and boarding Marine One Friday afternoon as the Senate impeachment trial continued. Trump saluted the Marine standing outside the helicopter while Melania - wearing a camel-colored wool cape by Chloe - climbed aboard.
The varsity basketball game between the Gonzaga Eagles and the Good Counsel Falcons that was played in the Gonzaga gym—about a one-mile walk from the U.S. Capitol--drew a larger crowd on Thursday evening than the Senate impeachment trial did.That was the case even though the Gonzaga-Good Counsel game drew a modest crowd--as Gonzaga won 79-55.According to Gonzaga Athletic Director Joe Reyda, there was a crowd of about 200 at the varsity basketball match that started at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.A count of the people in the Senate galleries, taken between 7:46 p.m. and 7:50 p.m. by this writer, indicated there was a total of approximately 131 people
Mitt Romney is stoking suspicions that he is eyeing a third White House bid in 2024 after the Utah Republican broke with his party and insisted on witnesses at President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate. Along with centrist Susan Collins of Maine, Romney was one of just two Senate Republicans to join the Democrats in a failed vote to subpoena fresh testimony. The 2012 Republican presidential nominee might yet acquit Trump on two articles alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but consistent criticism of Trump throughout impeachment, a GOP rarity, capped by support for witnesses has some Republicans convinced Romney is jockeying to reclaim the party.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer melted down on Friday as impeachment against President Trump imploded.McConnell will be holding a vote on additional witnesses Friday after closing arguments wrap up.In a huge blow to Democrats, Senator Lamar Alexander announced Thursday night he will be voting against new witnesses, giving the Republicans a probable victory with a 50-50 tie. Chief Justice Roberts is not expected to cast a tie-breaker vote, according to Republicans.Once the witnesses are blocked, Republicans will move to acquit President Trump.
Ted Cruz schools Cuomo: CNN supposed

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has been consistent throughout the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, wanting to shine a light on the nefarious actions of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in regard to Ukraine.To that end, Cruz slammed CNN for trying to cover up the younger Biden’s role — the liberal media has been unified in saying there has been “no evidence” of wrongdoing.Cruz was open to calling new witnesses, so long as that would mean Hunter Biden would be among them, and told reporters earlier this week that if Democrats manage to get enough votes — they didn’t — Republicans will ensure
Pop icon, Constitutional scholar, and noted political pundit Barbra Streisand says she sees in Adam Schiff (D-CA), the face of the Democrat impeachment campaign against President Donald Trump, a man who “would make a great president. “Adam Schiff is so impressive. His knowledge of the law… his passion… his articulateness. His sincerity!” Barbra Streisand said, pouring praise on the partisan lawmaker. “He speaks the truth and would make a great president.” (Tweet) Babs may want to pomp the breaks because as it stands, only 27 percent of America has a positive opinion of Rep. Schiff according to YouGov data.
It looks like the reports were right. With Lamar Alexander’s announcement on Thursday night it is likely that the Trump impeachment charade will end in the next 24 hours. And the official British exit from the EU will also take place today. (Tweet) That means Brexit and Acquitmas will likely take place within hours of eachother. What a great day!
CNN anchor John King defended Republicans on Thursday, arguing they made a "legitimate point" in asking why the intelligence community whistleblower -- who brought the complaint that prompted Trump's impeachment -- hadn't been questioned."You're asking the Congress, the Senate now, to remove the President of the United States," King said. "It's a legitimate point for the president's team and the Republicans to say: 'Shouldn't we go to the very origin of this?'"His comments came after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., tried asking a question that mentioned the name of a person reported to be the whistleblower. Chief Justice John Roberts shut down the question, which Paul described as "atypical."
As Hunter Biden battles a contentious paternity battle with a former stripper in Arkansas, his ex-wife Kathleen was spotted eating dinner on Wednesday with Michelle Obama at French restaurant Brasserie Liberté in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.Kathleen Biden has leaned on Obama since she divorced former Vice President Joe Biden’s son. “One of her closest friends is Michelle Obama. They hang out a lot,” a source told the New York Post last year.Brasserie Liberté confirmed the two dined at the Georgetown eatery last night but refused to comment further
You know it’s bad for the Democrats when CNN admits they are in trouble.CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday evening admitted the “Democrats look like they are in trouble” as day two of the question-and-answer session of the impeachment trial winded down.“The big fight over whether or not there will be witnesses and Jake, the big vote on that will come on that tomorrow. They need four Republicans — right now the Democrats look like they’re in trouble,” Blitzer said to Jake Tapper. “They sure do,” Jake Tapper said agreeing with Wolf Blitzer. WATCH:
Boris Johnson will deliver a plea for the country to move on from Brexit as the UK finally leaves the EU tonight. In an address to be broadcast shortly before Britain's departure at 11pm, the Prime Minister will insist that Brexit marks 'not an end but a beginning'. And in a sign of the new Government's changed approach, he will convene a symbolic Cabinet meeting this afternoon in Sunderland, the first city to declare for Brexit when the 2016 referendum results came out.

Chief Justice John Roberts strikes out
46 replies
Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't seem to have the judicial acumen of a traffic court judge. (snip) If the chief justice had instructed the House managers to stop committing perjury, then perhaps their posturing in calling witnesses to get at the truth may have been be more credible. If there is no penalty for perjury, then why have any witnesses? So far, this entire impeachment is just more D.C. political blustering and fake news reporting theater of the absurd that Americans hate at so many levels.
Former Georgia state representative and romance novelist Stacey Abrams said she believes she will be occupying the White House by 2040.
Abrams — who rose to national prominence after failing to win the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial contest and then refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the outcome — spoke to FiveThirtyEight about a slate of topics, including her presidential ambitions. The former Georgia House minority leader said she “absolutely” believes a black woman could be elected president by 2040, and she believes that woman to be her.
“Yes, I do,” Abrams said when asked if she believed the country would elect her as president within the next 20 years. “That’s my plan,
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) made a bizarre announcement at a campaign stop in Iowa last Sunday, telling the crowd that, when she selects her cabinet, she’ll only consider candidates for the Secretary of Education who have taught in public schools, and the final candidate will only take office after passing an interview with a “young trans person.”One of the attendees at Warren’s weekend stop in Cedar Rapids asked the Massachusetts Senator and hopeful 2020 Democratic presidential nominee whether she would support more education on LGBT and transgender issues for school-aged children. In response, Warren suggested that LGBT and transgender issues
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he'd received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China.
"We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments," the President said in his post. "We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!"
Who are these experts? They're largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.

It was the late 1880s in the city of Rajkot, India. The meeting was to take place on the banks of the local river – and discretion was essential. Mahatma Gandhi, who was just a teenager at the time, hadn’t told his parents where he was going; if they had found out, they would have been shocked to death.
As it happens, Gandhi was having a picnic. And on this occasion, India’s future national hero – and one of the most famous vegetarians in history – wasn’t planning to dine on cucumber sandwiches. No, for the first time in his life, he was going to eat meat.

One year after filing for bankruptcy, PG&E has worked out deals to borrow money and guarantee more than $25 billion in payouts to wildfire victims, insurers and local municipalities. It’s even come to terms with bondholders. As a result, its shares have skyrocketed 37 percent so far in January. Mizuho upgraded the stock this week to a “buy.” That optimism may be premature.

Count As Foreign Interference Because

Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, one of the House impeachment managers, argued Thursday that Democrats’ hiring of a former British spy to collect dirt from Russian sources about the Trump campaign does not constitute foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.The New York congressman’s argument was based on the puzzling logic that Democrats paid for the information from the retired spy, Christopher Steele, rather than simply obtaining it.“The analogy is not applicable to the present situation
Mitt Romney: The Dumbest Smart Person?
28 replies
There's a great line from the movie I, Robot that often springs to mind when it comes to politicians. (snip) "You are the dumbest smart person I know!"
"Dumbest smart person" should be engraved on an award. Mitt Romney and the three other Republicans considering calling witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial would be the final four.
Clearly, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, and Alexander are all smart people. They're successful. They've managed to get elected to the Senate. Romney himself is a near-billionaire in his own right. But they are willfully blind to the obvious-to-everyone-else tactics of the Democrats.
The Senate Friday voted to usher in the end of President Trump’s impeachment trial by rejecting a motion to call for additional witnesses and documents.
Two Republicans joined 47 Democrats to vote in favor of calling for the additional evidence. The motion fell short by two votes, ending the case House Impeachment managers have been presenting for the past two weeks.
The Senate now moves into the final phase of the trial, which could last a few days longer to allow senators to deliberate and give speeches before holding final votes.
