Impeachment Democrats Really Don’t Understand What They Are Doing.

After reading about the shabby effort to advance the impeachment of President Trump over the last two weeks I think it is time for a civics lesson.

Maybe that is necessary because they don’t teach civics in the schools and universities anymore. They teach social justice. And kids today need to advertise their social justice activism if they want to get into the Tiger Moms’ favorite universities.

Let us have a quick refresher on civics.

Our Founders lived in a time that worried about kings and religion. As rich commoners they wanted to curb the power of kings and nobles, and they knew from the experience of the Reformation and the Thirty Years War that religion and politics were a lethal combination.

The Founders thought that if you wanted to avoid kings overdoing their appetite for loot and plunder and religious fanatics overdoing their appetite for moral rectification you needed to separate the powers of the world. Their idea was to start with separating political powers, so that no single king or politician could concentrate all the powers of the state to himself. As Montesquieu said: I have a plan for that.

“Impeachment Democrats Really Don’t Understand What They Are Doing. “

The look on Shiff’s face last Sunday indicates they understand.

The Rats always let their emotions rule. Their hate for President Trump has destroyed any tiny bit of logic and reason they might have.

They failed to grasp we are in a post Dan Rather world.

the dems watched the clinton impeachment and thought it was political, neglecting the facts in the case that billy lied and molested and committed perjury.

the dems thought they could do the same to bush and now trump... they do not know why things are not proceeding as well for them.

schiff must be getting really depressed.

They’re Democrats.
Pretty much of an indication that they do not understand economics, science, mathematics or the constitution.

Whether the leftist democrats really understand the implications and consequences of their actions isn’t really a factor. With or without that realization they would proceed anyway. Leftists are so obsessed with power and control they would burn down everything as long as they could rule over the ashes. They have demonstrated time and again they don’t care what damage they leave in their wake - their ends justify any means. Leftists are one of the most repugnant, dangerous group out there.

I read the headline, and immediately thought if they don’t know what the HELL they are doing, then why are they doing it?

We all at FR know why.

With Clinton we also had treason ( Loral and the chicoms) Illegal wars. ( Kosovo ). Murder. ( foster. Brown. Others ). But all they got him on was his sexual aggressiveness

He did have sex with a girl in Oval Office and lied about it on national TV

ANY REPUBLICAN WOULD HAVE been long gone as soon as foster showed up dead

The men’s Arkansas drug running and whitewater nonsense also

The media is ultimately completely corrupt and one sided. It goes way back Gloves are just off now

When you tell people they cannot achieve representation through ballots, they start to think about doing it with bullets.

So true

They know they have to back off, or throw Joe Biden on the barbecue.

The worst mistake made in war is that of underestimating your enemy. Let us not do that.

Yes, people like Ocasio-Cortez are really stupid. But they are working under the direction of some extraordinarily cunning people.

People like Schiff and Pelosi will come and go. It's the cunning people like George Soros who pull their strings that we need to root out and destroy.

No head- body dead.
