What is there to say about this week’s shameful events in the US Senate that doesn’t sound hopelessly naive? What use is it to cite the Constitution, to refer to the Founders’ fears that exactly this kind of unchecked lawlessness would arise, or to appeal to core principles like the rule of law, the separation of powers and checks and balances? We are long past such gauziness.

If there is a disgusting and disgraceful example of partisan manipulation through media, this is it! The word crafters are doing everything to mold people's perceptions.

It was remarkably generous that the Senate allowed so many hours to the House managers to make fools of themselves. The only shame is how the House committees behaved.

What drivel!! The House abused its impeachment power in a totally partisan process of power politics. This article attempts to blame the Senate for the failure of the House to abide by fundamental due process and honor the rights of the accused. Democrat House Managers tried to pull a rabbit out of a hat. They should never have been given the opportunity to fool everyone in order to interfere with the 2020 election.

Shut up already. YOU have no shame. Your fake paper has no shame. And your comrade House Democrats have no shame. This farce is over and I suggest you dive head first into a tub of Haagen Dazs ice cream (along with your 53 cats) to drown your sorrows.

I was able to pull up the article and I am not a paying subscriber. Don't know why it was okay for me. I have no doubt the dems will have their claws out just waiting for the President to use the wrong salad fork so they can do this all over again. Basically everything the dems did and said was written on the wings of angels. And the republicans can go straight to hell without passing go and collecting $200.

The moronic Democrats keep saying trial and witnesses. However a “trial” requires objective witnesses. Show me one Democrat senator who entered undecided, including those campaigning for President who announced they were for impeachment weeks ago. What they heck did we see with all the video clips this week - they were witnesses testifying. End this sham tonight.

I read the article just fine and did not pay or register. Had to click a few things, however. Overall, the article isn't worth reading. Indeed, the poor souls who made endless excuses for and looked the other when when Hillary's illegal server was exposed have their panties in a twist over all this. I kind of wish we had called witnesses just to reveal what a slimebag Adam Schiff really is.

When someone mistakenly posts a paywalled article just do a google search by the article's name (copy and paste). Usually can find it free of the paywall.

Lesson: NEVER allow Democrats to have the Majority in both the House and the Senate. (Unfortunately, with the growing ILLEGAL ALIENS entering this country, and with disproportionately increasing Muslim populations by birth, Democrats will one day DICTATE this country into SOCIALISM. The scary part is...., this could all happen in couple of dozen years.)

Could not wade into this excrement very long. The article is so virulently anti-Trump, it is scary that an adult can come to these conclusions. I marvel at the mind of these haters. It truly is a dark, vindictive and vicious place and one without the ability to understand truth, evidence and fact. We are definitely a divided nation if someone can listen to the impeachment arguments and come away with the author’s conclusions. I can’t see a way to reconcile the division either. It is impossible to have a conversation with irrational and unreasonable people. I doubt we would ever find a place of commonality. I know I will not submit to their narrative because as a patriot I could not deny what I know to be truth just to have a dialogue. Somewhere along the line, the democrats have crossed a line that makes conciliation impossible. They have done too much damage. Whether it is a failing on my part or not, I will not absolve them of the damage they have done and are doing to the Republic. They have torn apart the fabric of bipartisanship. I doubt with the democrat actors on the stage now we will ever be able to repair it. So be it. We must move forward without them if they cannot do any self-examination. I am done with them and the willfully blind Collins and Romney. There was no good reason to hear more witnesses. I can only imagine that self-serving virtue signaling was their motivation. It certainly had nothing to do with common sense and a fair hearing of the evidence put forth. What really annoys me is that they apparently are now going to postpone the final vote until Wednesday, after the SOTU. That is nothing but a vindictive act born out of their fear and hatred of the President. McConnell should have had a better hand on this. He is no dummy and knew they wanted the President to go into the SOTU with impeachment hanging over his head. McConnell failed the President and the American people on this and he should be ashamed. Since he was the Ringmaster in this pathetic circus, he allowed the clowns to run the show.

Democratic leaders from North Carolina’s western-most district are calling for the expulsion of freshman Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn, alleging his "seditious behavior" helped incite the "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol last week. State Democrats from Cawthorn’s 11th District have written a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi asking for an investigation into the Republican congressman. They claim there was an ethics violation for "violent language" on his Twitter feed leading up to the unrest last week at the Capitol.

The far right in America has received the coronavirus pandemic in much the same manner as any other event: with disinformation, conspiracies and scapegoating. Many seem to see it as a significant opportunity, whether it is for financial gain, recruiting new followers, or both. The delayed and much criticized response to coronavirus by the Trump administration has helped them, leaving many Americans confused, bereft of information and looking for answers. A situation in which people are panic-buying supplies is ideal for a movement powered by fear and lies.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — At the White House, people who want to meet with Donald Trump have to deal with schedulers, scores of aides hovering around the president and a strict security protocol. At Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s luxury South Florida resort where he typically spends Christmas and New Year’s Eve, the president is just another guy in the buffet line.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
