Impeachment, the State of the Union and the aftermath.

After this incredibly stupid rant by Nancy Pelosi she absolutely deserves the loss of all credibility, especially given her childish performance all throughout the SOTU presentation by President Trump and following. She also deserves every rebuke she has faced in response to her most unprofessional behavior from Republicans, the public and even some responsible members of her own party.   https://flagandcross.com/watch-nancy-pelosi-accuses-trump-of-being-sedated-during-state-of-the-union-speech/   She has destroyed any legacy she would have garnered by being the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives.  She will, instead, be remembered for her role in helping bring about the demise of the Democrat Party.  This is the best assessment I have seen of Nancy's meltdown.   https://pjmedia.com/trending/pelosis-biggest-sotu-mistake-wasnt-tearing-up-the-speech/

This is one family's response to Nancy Pelosi's irresponsible and childish behavior and her support for irresponsible sanctuary city policies.  Quote: "A State of the Union guest of President Trump whose brother was murdered by an illegal immigrant has a message for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "It felt like she ripped our hearts out," he said. Everybody there. All of the guests. We couldn't believe it."  And,  "The Trump administration says California’s sanctuary state policy allowed the killer -- with a long criminal history and previous deportation orders -- to be released from jail."   https://www.foxnews.com/media/state-of-the-union-guest-jody-jones-reflects-on-his-brothers-honor-nancy-pelosi-message   Democrats like her seem not to understand that illegal aliens who are known criminals commit crimes against American citizens. That kind of thinking suggests Democrats care more for illegal aliens than they care for the America citizens they were elected to serve and who pay their salaries.  Does that make any sense at all?

This item reinforces contents of the previous item.  This long time Democrat, black American and former advisor to former president Obama does not recognize the current Democrat party.  Quote: "And he’s one of the wealthiest black men in the United States, who had an estimated net worth in 2015 of about $700 million, according to Forbes. In 2017, his Peebles Corp. real estate firm was named “Company of the Year” by Black Enterprise magazine. So it’s a safe bet to assume Peebles knows a thing or two about the Democratic Party, about American politics, and about success in general.  And when Peebles looks at today’s Democratic Party, he doesn’t see success at all."    https://www.westernjournal.com/former-obama-adviser-bashes-pelosi-just-dont-recognize-democratic-party/?

This is the speech President Trump gave at the National Prayer Breakfast the day after he was acquitted of impeachment by the Senate.  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/when-they-impeach-you-for-nothing-then-youre-supposed-to-like-them-its-not-easy-trump-shreds-pelosi-at-prayer-breakfast-video/?     I completely agree with the sentiments expressed in this piece by this highly regarded liberal Democrat law school professor.  Quote: "Liberal Professor Jonathan Turley had a few things to say about Pelosi’s behavior throughout the address and posted his thoughts on Twitter. I followed along as he presented a lesson in etiquette for the Speaker. He explains there are traditions and decorum and we expect the Speaker of the House to behave as a grown-up, even if she doesn’t like what the president is saying. The continual head shaking and muttering to herself had me wondering if Pelosi was ok. Seriously. Even for her, she was a bit too over-the-top."  And,  "There was plenty of tit-for-tat going on but Speaker Pelosi sets the tone for her party and in that, she failed miserably. I noticed that she kept looking off to the side where the Democrats sat. She kept an eye on them all as applause broke out for the president’s words. She wanted to make sure they toed the line and didn’t give him any support. The Democrats sat stone-faced and didn’t clap for anything except for a couple of times that I noticed. They did clap when Trump mentioned the demise of Al-Baghdadi and Soleimani. They took a pass on applauding the successes of the economy, such as low unemployment, record employment of women and minorities, low-interest rates, rising homeownership and so on. They didn’t applaud when Trump announced a scholarship opportunity for a young black girl in a neighborhood with a failing public school. Her life will improve and her single mom will rest easier knowing her child is getting a better education. Democrats didn’t clap for less illegal immigration or increased security at the border. Democrats didn’t bother to clap for Rush Limbaugh as he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by Trump and when Melania placed it on him. Pelosi kept them all under control."  And,  "Now Professor Turley is calling for Speaker Pelosi’s resignation."     https://hotair.com/archives/karen-townsend/2020/02/05/jonathan-turley-nancy-ripper-apologize-resign/   

One member of the Democrat Impeachment Manager's "crack" team of 2d and 3d hand witnesses was fired from the National Security Council on 20 February 20.  Quote: "This was long overdue, although I understand why the President had to wait. Alexander Vindman, perhaps the most insufferable, uselessly smug “witness” in the entire impeachment fiasco was fired from the NSC today and escorted out of the White House."   https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2020/02/07/breaking-alexander-vindman-is-escorted-out-of-the-white-house/? 

Allegedly Nancy Pelosi claims that she kept looking for facts in Trump's State of the Union speech but could not find any. One can only infer from that comment she thinks that Trump's detailing what he has accomplished is all a great big lie. If that is what she thinks then we can consider her to be the most ignorant Speaker of the House in our nation's history or that she is the most blindly left wing partisan to ever hold the job. If she actually had done her job during Trump's first three years she could claim that she was party to all the good things Trump has accomplished but instead she and her fellow Democrats chose to obstruct his efforts at every turn. So any claims that Democrats have done good things for the country since Trump took office is a weak argument at best and awful one at worse.    https://freepressers.com/articles/facts-said-to-back-president-trump-s-state-of-the-union-claims?    In addition, there is ample evidence that she is no longer mentally stable and as Professor Turley suggests she should resign her position.    https://www.westernjournal.com/pelosi-may-violated-fed-law-tearing-trumps-speech-gaetz-calls-doj-prosecution/?  If you still do not think Nancy is as unethical as can be get a load of what she says here. Quote: "According to The Hill, Pelosi told her caucus in a back door meeting that she didn’t go there to tear the speech up, but did so impulse: “I didn’t go in there to tear up the speech, and I didn’t even care that he didn’t shake my hand. In fact, who cares?” Pelosi told her caucus, according to sources in the room. “But I’m a speed reader, so … I went like this through the speech. So I knew that it was a pack of lies. I knew it was a pack of lies, but I thought, ‘Well, let’s see how it goes.’  Here's Pelosi testing to see if she could rip the speech before the speech even started. She was planning to do it from the start. pic.twitter.com/1gEMlYrNB7 — Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) February 5, 2020 Many have said that Pelosi's move has backfired because now the narrative is focused on her childish act instead of rebutting Trump's speech."   https://trumptrainnews.com/articles/pelosi-caught-on-video-test-ripping-sotu-before-speech-started   She is neither an ethical nor a responsible adult. It is she who is well known for spewing "packs of lies."  Furthermore, she does not belong in public office. Professor Turley is exactly right.  She needs to resign.

More evidence that Nancy Pelosi's recent series of childish antics are bad for her party. Quote: "Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was probably pretty salty after President Trump didn’t shake her hand when he gave her his script before the State of the Union address kicked off. Still, there was no excuse whatsoever for ripping up the speech in clear view of all cameras. Now, even though many far-left radicals absolutely loved what Pelosi did, it appears a lot of Democrats are just as ticked off with her antics. And they should be. It was highly unprofessional."    https://flagandcross.com/dems-call-into-c-span-announce-theyll-never-vote-democrat-again-after-pelosis-stunt-at-sotu/   Even foreign correspondents are bashing Pelosi and her party for childish behavior.    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/must-see-watch-aussie-news-rip-pelosi-and-us-democrats-for-their-vile-and-childish-behavior-video/?

Democrats were too wedded to their efforts to impeach President Trump to realize the ultimate negative consequences of their irresponsible behavior. In addition to all the ongoing criminal investigations they now face going back to the Obama era, the very real fact that Joe Biden and his son Hunter will be the subject to additional criminal investigations is now front and center all because they defended the Biden affair all the while falsely charging Trump for a crime Joe Biden publicly admitted to while serving as Vice President.   https://trumptrainnews.com/articles/gop-senators-open-inquiry-into-hunter-biden

Throughout their delivery of their impeachment arguments the Democrat Impeachment Managers repeatedly declared that President Trump was not above the law.  The same can be said for the House of Representatives and its members who actually did violate the law.  This item explains.  Quote: "In closing remarks at the Senate impeachment trial on Wednesday, White House Counsel Patrick Philbin said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not have the authority to declare an impeachment inquiry without a House vote and “the House violated every principle of due process and fundamental fairness in the way the hearings were conducted.”  And,  "Philbin told the Senate: “We have heard repeatedly throughout the past week and a half or so that the president is not above the law. And, I would like the focus in my last remarks here on an equally important principle, which is: the House of Representatives also is not above the law in the way they conduct the impeachment proceedings and bring a matter here before the Senate. “Because, in very significant and important respects, they didn’t follow the law."    https://freepressers.com/articles/conclusion-house-of-representatives-is-not-above-the-law?
