Things to Ponder

Nancy Pelosi and her left wing Democrat socialist party colleagues are a real and present danger to our country. She knows what she/they did is wrong and bad for our country but she, for pure left wing political purposes, spearheaded the US House of Representatives impeachment of President Trump.  She even had the audacity to tell Americans that she "... had no choice but to impeach Trump."  Get a load of this pure unadulterated left wing political nonsense.  Quote: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called Donald Trump a threat to American democracy who left Congress no choice but to impeach him as bitterly divided lawmakers debated before historic votes on charges accusing the Republican president of abusing his power and obstructing Congress. With partisan differences on full display and Republicans stoutly defending Trump, the Democratic-led House of Representatives held a debate scheduled for six hours on the two articles of impeachment arising from the president’s actions toward Ukraine. Trump would become the third U.S. president to be impeached. That would set the stage for a trial in the Republican-led Senate next month, with House members acting as prosecutors and senators as jurors. A conviction would result in his removal from office, but the Senate’s top Republican has said there is “no chance” of that happening. On the House floor, Pelosi read the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance, then said: “Today we are here to defend democracy for the people,” to applause from fellow Democratic lawmakers."   That was nothing but a display of self serving self righteous arrogance and a fake show of loyalty to the principles of "fair" justice they conducted throughout the proceedings. Instead it was nothing but a continuation of their unethical and illegal efforts of three years running to remove Trump from office.  It also establishes the truth of their absolute disdain for the interests of our country, our Constitution and reveals just how much Democrats hate President Trump and those of us who support him.   https://rawconservativeopinions.com/2019/12/19/pelosi-no-choice-but-to-impeach-trump/    This charade could well end up being just the first step of exposing a large number of unethical and illegal activities that will ultimately destroy the Democrat party as presently comprised. 

To further prove this whole mess was nothing but a charade consider the MASSIVE LIE the second ranking Democrat Socialist told the Chamber just before the impeachment voting started. This is unbelievable. He actually had the audacity to say,:  “Democrats did not choose this impeachment. We did not wish for it.” He says that after THREE LONG YEARS of incessantly pursuing this very objective???  If he represents who and what most of the Democrats are, then way too many of them are hypocritical anti-American lying scumbags.    https://www.redstate.com/alexparker/2019/12/18/just-impeachment-vote-2nd-powerful-house-democrat-made-comment-absurd-brought-laughter/?

I bet most people do not know this unbelievable fact. This man well known for his lack of ethics was the principle author of the rules used by the House of Representatives to conduct their impeachment procedures. This not made up. Quote: "Some of you may know the story of Democrat Rep. Alcee Hastings (FL), but there’s a decent chance that most don’t. Before being elected as a Congressman, Hastings was a federal judge. Alcee accepted a bribe. He was subsequently impeached and removed from office. It begs the question, how in the world did the public trust this man enough to then elect him to public office? Craziness. In 1998, Hastings voted against impeaching president Bill Clinton. Go figure. Now, Dems have tasked Alcee with basically setting the rules for the impeachment of President Trump."    https://flagandcross.com/dem-who-was-impeached-for-taking-bribes-as-federal-judge-sets-rules-for-trump-impeachment/    Anyone who still believes that Democrats are ethical people is way out of step with factual reality.   

Now let's turn to their unethical post impeachment moves. Unbelievable stuff. 

One of if not the most dishonest Democrat controlled House of Representatives in our nation's history has never learned any lessons regarding morality, fairness, decency, obeying the law and telling the truth???  If this proposal is implemented it does nothing more than prove all their intentions are based on total absence of any ethics whatever. It is a ploy to prolong the agony being suffered by America citizens, in an attempt to delay if not cover their dirty, unethical and illegal deeds. This could well further alienate the country against them. Quote: "We may see that strategy forming. As my colleague Bonchie posted earlier, (READ Chuck Schumer Releases His Impeachment Demands as Republicans Throw Their Heads Back In Laughter) Chuck Schumer has issued a series of demands to Mitch McConnell. Essentially, what Schumer wants to do is litigate an entirely different case than the one the House will send over. We don’t know how McConnell will handle this or the limits he may impose upon Schumer’s demands. What Schumer is clearly trying to do is lay the groundwork for declaring President Trump’s acquittal to be illegitimate (this has become a preferred Democrat strategy whenever they can’t get their way).Wacko law professor, Laurence Tribe, takes it a step further.

By “withholding” the Articles I don’t mean not voting for them — I mean voting for them but holding off on transmitting them to the Senate. https://t.co/w8uBMTGIlT

There’s a growing view that unless McConnell agrees to hold a "fair" trial, the House should vote to impeach but not send the articles to the Senate. If the Senate won’t do its job "honestly', they shouldn’t be allowed to do it "dishonestly". That is Democrats talking after impeaching Trump using third world kangaroo court tactics.  

The hutzpah of the corrupt Democrats is astounding. How can anyone believe "their" claim to have honestly conducted their House of Representatives fiasco in a honest fashion??????  Far from it. After probably holding the most dishonest and corrupt impeachment hearings ever by the House of Representative they claim the Senate must be honest. What a bunch of you know ....  https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2019/12/16/laurence-tribe-throws-nancy-pelosi-life-line-giving-off-ramp-impeachment/?  Here is Mitch McConnell's reply to Schumer. Quote: "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell finally responded to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s letter proposing what he mocked as a “fishing expedition.” The Republican leader rejected Schumer’s requests regarding a potential impeachment trial in the Senate which he delivered in a letter on Sunday, speaking on the Senate floor about how the proposed offer from the Democrat on impeachment rules “could set a nightmarish precedent for our institution.”    https://theweek.com/speedreads/884781/mitch-mcconnell-rejected-chuck-schumers-impeachment-trial-proposal-schumer-wants-know-what-hes-afraid

And, get this bit of further completely unethical Democrat nonsense.  Quote: "Democrats in the House of Representatives rushed through a slapdash impeachment inquiry of President Trump. Party leaders refused to call witnesses that Republicans wanted, refused to wait for the courts to mediate conflicts, refused to hold a fair and comprehensive hearing of evidence from both sides. And now House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is saying that even though the two weak articles of impeachment were approved on a near party-line vote on Wednesday, she won’t pass them along to the Senate until, well, until she feels like it."  And,  "Pelosi said she may delay the handoff of the articles because she thinks Republicans in the Senate won’t hold a fair trial. [What? After their completely partisan and unethical hearings?] “We cannot name managers until we see what the process is on the Senate side,” Pelosi told reporters after the party-line vote in the House. “And I would hope that that will be soon. … So far we haven’t seen anything that looks fair to us. So hopefully it will be fair. And when we see what that is, we’ll send our managers.”  And,  "“Though the House adopted two articles of impeachment charging Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of congressional investigations, it must pass a second resolution formally naming impeachment managers to present the case in the Senate. That second vehicle triggers the official transmission of articles to the Senate.” McConnell pointed out the travesty. “Pelosi suggested that House Democrats may be too afraid to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate,” he said in a moving speech from the floor of the Senate on Thursday. And McConnell blasted House Democrats as nothing more than “a politic faction of the House of Representatives has succumbed to a partisan rage.”    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/heres-the-real-insanity-behind-the-democrats-rush-to-impeachment/? 

This is Senate Majority leader McConnell's response to Pelosi's incredibly ridiculous move.  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/it-looks-like-the-prosecutors-are-getting-cold-feet-this-is-really-comical-senate-majority-leader-mcconnell-unloads-on-pelosi-on-her-slap-dash-impeachment-video/?

Here is yet another twist. Is it possible that this could happen? Consider this very, very, very interesting late breaking item that suggests the impeachment trial in the Senate could never happen, even after the House of Representatives impeached Trump.  The piece makes sense but we will just have to wait and see. Chief Justice Roberts is the ultimate decider.     https://www.leagueofpower.com/why-the-senate-may-not-be-able-to-hold-an-impeachment-trial/
