*NOPE = “Never Obtain the Presidency, Ever”
Well, the IG Report is informative, but on the superficial level a bust for us.
I think that was the buzz here for at least the past few weeks before it was released, too.
It’s up to Durham and Barr now.
Will they? I’m not holding my breath.
It will take a lot more to defeat the Deep State. Trump needs another term to do so, and the stalwart Republicans, re: Gaetz, Meadows, Nunes, Ratcliff et al need their committee chairmanships back.
The 2020 election will be even more important than 2016.
Well, almost. The joy of seeing Hillary lose and all her sycophants in the media have to report that cannot be repeated.
Better late than never.
Aha! The Rocky Mountain Golden Shower!
I did reluctantly automatically turn the tv to Faux but was warned by FR about the ADAM SCHITT interview which may have saved my TV.I will look elsewhere
This whole “interview” was so rehearsed it’s sickening. Clearly Comey got the questions in advance.
Nadler just said on ABC this week that 70% of the public supports the impeachment. George tried to interrupt and correct him and he would not shut up and talked over George with his canned speech. Nadler and Schitf both on trying to sell America on impeachment..... telling things they know are false and expressing their personal feeling as findings of the investigation....
Remember that 8 years ago the Democrats were busy trying to convince America that 1.5% economic growth was the new normal, it would never get any better again, and "those jobs will never come back."
This week they made impeachment a new normal any time the House is the other party. So far it's only gotten through a committee, but the full House vote can't be far behind.
So now impeachment joins 1.5% growth, illegals everywhere, "George Stephanapolus is an objective journalist", and the list goes on as the new normals. Just wait until some carbpn-based life form who does not speak English as a first, second or third language shows up on your doorstep wanting to ask census questions; there won't be a "Press 1 for English" option there.
On the other hand, Hillary is not your President. So there's something to be grateful for. Hopefully God has somebody in mind to replace Trump when America needs them.
Sure is a short one this week.
And no “funny” at the end.....I look forward to the “funny” at the end.
They are all protecting Obama, even some of the Republicans.
They don’t the glory of having the first elected black man be a Democrat to fade to ashes.
They are all protecting Obama.
Barr and Durham too, I suspect.
Great comments RG. Have been traveling and been out of the loop re US events.
I see that Trey Gowdy is back on Fox news, and from what I have been able to discern, he will NOT be part of the impeachment sham trial. Said something to the effect that he was “too busy”. Will see what he has to say today as one of the panelists.
I heard Rush castigate Chris Wallasss on his program. Mike Gallagher did the same on his radio show.
I do not trust the Senate at all, especially Lindsey and Mitch. I hope that POTUS has effective attorneys who will represent him.
Again, it looks like Maria is the only one worth watching.
I guessed that it was commie Wallace before I looked. He should feel right at home with his seditionist buddies.
Trump has 4D chessed the chicoms once again.
They are screwed no matter what they do.! If they don't sing on our companies go to other parts of the world to get what they need. Even the farmers can eventually find other outlets for their crops and the chicoms lose.
Also if they don't sign on the US keeps collecting big time from the tariffs which Trump loves and he should.

As usual the Conservative Treehouse,Sundance and company have it down in spades.
Here's a clip:
...........
For undisclosed reasons (we can guess, but probably shouldn't’t on this one) the 86-page agreement is unlikely to be made public until after the USMCA completes the ratification process in congress (both chambers).
Given the politics in China, and Beijing’s position following the U.S. resolution vis-a-vis Hong Kong, it is doubtful there will be a high level signing ceremony. Chairman Xi would appear weak internally as dominant President Trump would be seen as digging Eagle claws into vulnerable dragon. Vice-Premier Liu He and USTR Lighthizer are likely to be visible faces.
It remains in President Trump’s strategic interests for Beijing to refuse being committed to granular specifics. In a very unusual way ‘uncertainty‘ actually works in favor of the U.S. objective within this trade dynamic as future investment in China will be tenuous without those specifics. An unstable ‘status quo’ is an advantage to Trump.
Because President Trump has flipped the leverage dynamic; and because hundreds of manufacturers are seeking "alternatives to the risk China represents"; the historic cunning and duplicity -China’s forte’- that creates distrust, actually works in favor of the U.S.
While many multinational investor interests will be watching, waiting, to see if China will (for the first time) live up to their words, President Trump will be providing alternatives and incentives…. while highlighting stability in North America.
The stock market responded exactly as would be expected on Friday to the announcement of the ‘phase-one’ agreement in principal… the market didn’t buy it, because everything remains tenuous at best. This is an indication the multinationals would/will be more likely to follow the alternatives the USMCA provides.
The Wall Street multinationals not responding favorably is a very good sign. This predicts an ongoing decoupling, which is exactly President Trump’s goal.
It really is remarkable. No-one else could have pulled this off.
I think the interview is going pretty well.
Comey looks like a liar.
Why my goodness...HE IS A LIAR!!!
The Saint Comey interview should be verrrrrry interesting. He got a lot of explaining to do about that FISA warrant he signed while knowing it was fraudulent.
“Comey looks like a liar.”
And, “scum”, I might add.
It was rather pathetic...looked very contrived.
Predication. The issue of the day. American Thinker has a piece entitled “Predication is for Chumps:” by a former FBI special agent. Fascinating, revealing and informative.
I have a new Blog and am learning how it interacts with Blogger’s HTML.
Today’s post was more a test.
But I like my fun things too. Give me time.
Comey came off as rehearsed, but the interview did him no favors.
He had to admit a lot of things.
Pam Bondi giving him hell.
James Comey is a dishonest man and give Mike Wallace credit. “But sir, this was an investigation of the President of the United States. Was it a good idea to leave it all without checking in to lower level investigators?
I don’t like Wallace and goodness knows he is not liked on FreeRepublic, not even by Rush Limbaugh.
But he did a good interview and didn’t cut Comey a lot of leeway.
