Media puffery can’t hide the
Democrats’ impeachment face plant

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 2/1/2020 6:50:31 AM

Late on Thursday night after the impeachment hearings had ended, the headline column at Politico was "How Trump's impeachment created two Democratic Superstars" by Jake Sherman and Heather Caygle. (snip) Not one of the House managers displayed the knowledge and skill of the President's lawyers. Watching Schiff and his cohorts be intellectually eviscerated day after day was the amusing part, as amusing as it was maddening for the wasted time. Consider the moment when Jay Sekulow reminded us all that Schiff had many times said the House had proved its case over and over again beyond all reasonable doubt, which Schiff admitted.

It was interesting - and sad and typical - that the Dems picked their impeachment managers based on skin color and sex. Slavers holding an auction weren't this superficial. It was also interesting - and sad and typical - that Schiff & Nadler were held over. Schiff, obviously, is incapable of telling the truth about the smallest detail. Nadler was a vacant buffoon in his 500 lb days and is an even more vacant buffoon now despite the lap band. Kevin McCarthy confirmed that Pelosi thought Nadler 'inept' but she was stuck with him. Her ego wouldn't allow her to bench an incompetent captain and be forced to explain. His role until the trial was minimized. On the other hand, various observers have marveled at the hold Schiff has on Pelosi. She thinks he hung the moon, mostly because he tells her - and the media - exactly what they want to hear. Even if it's pure fiction. On the other hand, who did the Dems have to offer, really? Their caucus is almost entirely composed of swivel-eyed zealots. Any so-called moderates gave up the title when they followed the impeachment crazies off the cliff.

I have to agree--Schiff and Jeffries ARE superstars. But, by democrat standards. But to the average, fair-minded American, they looked like a bunch of high school dropouts trying to impersonate a college debate team. If the media was impressed with their effort and performance, then the media is that much more exposed as the partisan hacks that they have devolved into.

A lot of crowing from Republicans who see this as a complete victory. The objective here was never to remove Trump. It was preordained that he would be acquitted in a Republican majority Senate. This was about the 2020 election and dirtying up Trump as much as possible. That was the true epic fail of this game. No one changed their mind. Schiff and Nadler are still Schiff and Nadler. Lying politicians loved by the left and despised by the right. On n to the Super Bowl.

A. What cheap stunt will the Dems pull on Tuesday evening to detract from the Presidemt’s State of the Union? A walk out? Black arm bands? Backs turned? Mueller, impeachment, Kavanaugh and more were meant to embarrass and undermine President Trump, and Dems will continue their shameless antics. B. 100 Senators and our Chief Justice sat silently through the Schiff show without once asking for an end of the lies and gross exaggeration of facts. This is how we make laws? C. The only positive about impeachment was that it stopped Congress from inflicting further madness on us. Just for this reason it should continue for months and months.

I was going to ask why Trump would not change date of the State of the Union message until the Impeachment fiasco is done; perhaps Thursday or Friday, but then I figured that Trump has his own battle plans for everything so we will have to watch and see his plans to deflate the Democrats expected plans for disruption.

Who says it can't? They have been hiding a multitude of democrat crimes for several decades now. People who pay attention know they are out there, but people who don't? Well... At a minimum, media puffery will ease the sting and damage of the face plant that happened last week. Now if Turtle hadn't agreed to a delay, we would be able to move on. But the spineless coward from KY just cannot seem to stand up and do the job being a leader requires. Trying to get along with everyone instead of what is best for the nation will do that to you.

While I agree that the purpose of impeachment was to smear Trump, through tight control in the Senate, the dems failed at this. The dems, Schiffty primarily, had to talk about everything BUT the actual articles of impeachment. Any rational person had to ask, if this stuff matters, why is NONE of it in the articles handed up. The obvious and painful truth is that NONE of the things that the House managers babbled about has ANY evidence to back it up. The actual charges were clearly ephemeral, especially Obstruction of Congress which, Constitutionally, the Presidency is DESIGNED to do as a check on their power. Abuse of power, especially as related to foreign policy, is absurd because the Constitution vests that power in the President. Of course there are legal limits on the President's power but the House's charge defined NO statute that was violated. So the dems had nothing and babbled to defeat. Again. And yet again, the dems looked foolish and incompetent. They must like this look because they keep wearing it. Yes, dems, that dress DOES make you look obese.

Why the Left Hates Cuomo 10 replies

Conservatives are happily gloating over the fact that Andrew Cuomo is at, or rapidly approaching, his nadir. (snip) Cuomo's pandering has always been coarse, heavy-handed, and insincere. Though he is hardly a closet conservative, and probably genuinely supports these policies, it has always been obvious that Cuomo manipulated leftist identity groups so that they would have no alternative but to vote for him and make him governor-for-life. (Indeed, until only a few weeks ago, Cuomo seemed to be a shoo-in for a fourth term). Eventually, though, it became clear that the leftist identity-politics groups were getting tired of getting the pimp hand from Cuomo

Meghan Markle, it seems, isn't much of a scholar. While much of the focus has been on her barbs accusing the British royal family of abnormal interest in her baby's skin color and denying him a title and personal security protection supposedly because he is black and they are racists, what's striking to me is how unprepared she was for the royal role she sought when she married Prince Harry. And not just ignorant, but willfully ignorant, proud of her ignorance, flippantly stating she never did "any research," as if that's something to be proud of.

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.

The relentless campaign to demonize supporters of President Trump entered the realm of self-parody this past week, with warnings that the US Capitol and democracy itself were in danger on March 4 because QAnon saw that date as the real inauguration day.

The U.S. Economy Is Rigged 13 replies

Though the populist tide seems to have ebbed, it will rise again, and soon. The problem that ignited populist sentiment in the first place, whether on the left or the right, remains: the country’s economic and financial system has failed much of the population and is rigged to the benefit of a government-business elite. Resistance to this inequity elevated Trump and pulled the Democratic Party to the left and will continue to roil American politics until things change. The economy’s “rigging” has developed gradually over time and often from the best of intentions.

No, conference goers didn't gather to spread conspiracy theories. No, they didn't bow down to a golden statue of Trump. And no, the stage wasn't designed to pay homage to Nazi symbology. Fascism, a form of big government, is hated among conservatives. Outsiders in the mainstream media really piled on the hate. "There will be no policy debates," claimed an MSNBC opinion columnist. That's false. The truth, it seems, was of no value in reporting on this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Among speeches from high-profile Republicans were dozens of panels and debates on a broad spectrum of policy issues — which was the purpose of the gathering.
