Why the Democrats Have Gone Insane
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Impeach! Impeach, they say! If only he were Buckingham , they would take off his head as well. Trump has become the Democrats' version of Richard III, if he wasn't already. (Okay, he was.)
They even moved to open an impeachment "inquiry" (whatever that means -- a little bit chicken, if you ask me -- they've been doing it for the last three years anyway) after Trump announced he was making his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky public Wednesday in unredacted form. And now he's announcing the whistleblower's complaint, whatever hand it is -- second, third, who knows? -- will be released later in the week. Talk about a wreckless jumping of the gun on the Democrats' parts. This reeks of outright panic.
So what's really going on here? Why have the Democrats, to put it bluntly, gone berserk? Why are they risking a backlash of cosmic proportions (other than appeasing their psychotically-inflamed base, of course)?
One, distraction. They live in absolute fear of the coming revelations about the Russia Probe, from Inspector General Horowitz but even more from the DOJ's John Durham who can actually put people in jail. The Dems know -- if they have a brain (and a few do) -- these revelations are likely to point up the line at the leaders of the Democratic Party all the way to President Obama. They were all involved to one degree or another with illegally spying on or undermining Trump and his administration and supporters before and after the election. The extent of this we are only beginning to understand .
To put it mildly, not good. Whether you call this treason is up to you, but you can be sure Middle America (i. e. those elusive independent voters) will not appreciate it.
But there's something worse -- and Pelosi's knows it. The only hope for Democrats to defeat Trump is, remote and quixotic as it may be, impeachment. In the midst of the current brouhaha, Joe Biden -- their great (alas white male) hope -- is being exposed as not just a senile plagiarist, but a senile, corrupt plagiarist with a freaky family out of a Southern gothic novel with tentacles reaching into China and Ukraine. Again, not good.
Unfortunately, the rest of the Dems have tacked so far to the left that they wouldn't be able to win an election in Shenyang. Sanders, speaking of senility, is almost risible. He wants to restrict population for reasons of "climate change" when every one of the myriad social programs he so vehemently urges depends on strong continued population growth for economic survival, irrespective of taxes. (Is he that stupid? I don't think so. He's just a liar.)
As for his somewhat subtle clone, Ms. Warren, her proposals are if anything more extreme because she fails to acknowledge (though Colbert did his best to encourage her) that they are going to cost a ton of taxpayer money that approaches national bankruptcy. Even taxing the rich at one hundred percent won't come near supporting her ideas. Wait until Trump gets ahold of that.
So for the Democrats, trouble ahead, trouble behind. Ergo, impeachment.
Of course it will never happen. (Pelosi knows that too. That's why she never held a Congressional vote on this "inquiry.") And indeed the whole spectacle might be amusing in a macabre sort of way if there weren't important things going on in the world. The president is engaged in negotiations of tremendous significance with the Chinese and trying to neuter as much as possible the violent mullahs of Iran, but the Democrats don't care. In fact, they would prefer he fail and seem to be doing everything in their power to make it so. To call that UnAmerican is an understatement. Actually, it's despicable and deeply immoral, not just for the citizens of this country, but for the world. What children!

Yep. The insanity of following Constitutional Law. Damn them, right?
McConnell for bathroom monitor. Hannity for toilet paper resupply dude.
I posted this elsewhere, but since I consider bringing impeachment proceedings in these circumstances no different that posting an attack ad, it's applicable here as well:
In my opinion, NOT being an American and having no skin in the game, unless what Trump did was REALLY bad, I consider the Democrats launching impeachment proceedings is a BIG mistake. If Bill Clinton can get away with the public airing of an intern's blowjob, and humiliating his wife by doing so while he was in office, this Ukraine thing had better be REALLY CRIMINAL BEYOND REDEMPTION, or this is going to REALLY BACKFIRE on the Democrats. It is not only going to increase the resolve of those who voted for Trump, but also will alienate a lot of fair-minded people who might previously have supported the Democrats, and a lot of Indies. I cannot help but think of the lesson learned by Canada's Conservative Party when they posted an attack ad just before an election that made fun of Jean Chretien's deformed face that had been caused by Bell's Palsy - he came from behind and his Liberal Party won by a LANDSLIDE, almost devastated the Conservative Party, and led to the resignation of Kim Campbell, its leader. The Canadian people could not tolerate such nastiness, and surely the American people cannot tolerate such an "attack" on the POTUS.
And for the information of those who want to label me as a "Trumpster", I would have said the same thing if it had happened to a Democratic POTUS.
Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep porn stars quiet during the campaign was "really bad" and illegal. He is an unindicted co-conspirator and his co-conspiritor is in jail. The only reason Trump isn't in there with him yet is Justice department policy of not indicting a sitting President.
The ten clear counts of obstruction spelled out in the Mueller report are "really bad" and also illegal, yet again Trump remains out of jail because of his position as President.
Threatening the Ukrainian President with pulling hundreds of millions of dollars in military funding if they didn't dig up dirt on one of Trumps perspective opponents in the upcoming election is "really bad" and also illegal.
Why has the bar for impeachment gone from "High crimes and misdemeanors" to "REALLY CRIMINAL BEYOND REDEMPTION" for his supporters? It really doesn't make any sense. It's as if 40% of the country decided to throw their morals, ethics and honor out the window just because Trump told them "they're very fine people" and has been tickling their ears and rubbing their yellow bellies.
Democrats haven't gone insane, they are simply standing up for the rule of law which is apparently something their fellow Republicans are incapable of doing anymore. Perhaps it's because so many seem to have lost their spines and now let a gross serial adulterer and consummate liar run roughshod over their once proud party.
I get the impression you don't like Trump very much. Personally, he's not MY president so I don't give a damn what happens in this impeachment process.
Trump was slime long before he became President. His personality is the least of our problems. The fact is he's a lawless half witted mob boss who is now in charge of the nuclear codes of the strongest military in the world. My "impression" of him matters little, the fact that he is an unstable incompetent leading our nation is the real problem, and not just for us, for the whole world. America used to be a leader in the world, fighting for freedom and democracy not only in our country, but giving that opportunity to other nations as well. We've now abandoned that ideal in favor of ignorant protectionism from small minded poorly educated self centered bigots who imagine hiding behind a wall instead of leading the way towards justice, freedom and equality. This is a very sad time for patriotic Americans and any around the world who cherish the seeds of western democracy our founders planted over 240 years ago.

Keep telling yourself that. Rock back and forth over and over. It might sooth you. You think Trump is the first politician to pay hush money? Did he lie under oath? Did he obstruct justice? Bill Clinton did both and the Dems let him walk.
More BS. If they are "so clear" why wasn't Mueller f'ing fired? Why wasn't his team of Hillary and Obama sycophants banished to hell? Because not one of the damn things in the Mueller report was ever acted on. So I guess talking about it is bad; but actually doing it like Clinton is good? Only in the left's world.
Threatening the Ukrainian President with pulling a billion dollars in aid if they didn't fire the prosecutor investigating the company his son works for is sure as hell illegal; yet not one Dem is calling for Joe's head. Oh, and Trump wanted, and got, Ukraine to reopen the investigation on their end. You have a problem with that? As the left loves to say, "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." Unless of course it is someone with a D behind their name. Then it is always a vast right wing conspiracy, no matter what the results.
Pot meet kettle. Why was the bar raised for Clinton? Why did Clinton's followers throw their morals, ethics, and honor out the window- and Clinton didn't even tell them "they're very fine people", and sorry not a single tickle or yellow belly rub to be had. He, and his, wife just went on, and continue to, fleece them for everything they can get.
TDDS is another reality, so of course they don't think they are insane. Rubber rooms are waiting with crayons, coloring books, and kittens and puppies when this latest impeachment effort turn to shit. Speaking of spineless. How spineless is it to deny election results? The left has been doing it since before Trump took office.
Are you speaking about the Clintons again?
Your elaborate display of false equivalency is just another desperate attempt to soothe your own anxieties regarding the whistleblower scandal. take some deep breaths.
I hear the democrats are changing their mascot to something that even fits them better
