The events dominating the news today

[Rappini]

After listening to POTUS Attorneys at the hearings I’m beginning to think this Demorat Impeachment attempt is to destroy the Constitution.

[Pelham]

The progressive my-American political narrative began by taming the 1930s Great Depression and creating the welfare state, then a glorious nineteen-sixties civil rights revolution.

There's plenty of conservative fools who praise the 1960s civil rights revolution and then wonder how we ended up with a government that has the power to interfere in every aspect of our lives.

I don’t get the reference to Cornell University.

[kaehurowing]

I think the writer meant University of Chicago? Which ironically stood for libertarian economics at one point.

You win the internet for the day.

Part 2 will be the popular vote legislation which nullifies the Electoral College, with the Democrat hope being that even if Trump wins the Electoral College, they will win the popular vote and then their socialist candidate will claim they are president. Result will be civil war.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Trump is undoing decades of progressivism and it frightens and infuriates the left.

[PGalt]

Impeach/impale the impeachers.

...with liberty and justice for all.

No justice, no republic.

[Colinsky]

I don’t get the reference to Cornell University.

"On April 20, 1969, an era of student rebellions that had rocked American campuses at Berkeley, Columbia, San Francisco State, and Harvard reached a culmination of sorts with the triumphant exit of armed black students from Cornell's Willard Straight student union building after a two-day occupation."

It’s that but I think the primary reason is to create a narrative to give “cover” to Hellary, Comey, Brennan, Zero, others, etc. to shield them from prosecution. Goal is to create PR conditions where any judicial prosecution will be spun to judicial persecution.

“Part 2 will be the popular vote legislation which nullifies the Electoral College”

Won’t work:

1) Legislation simply cannot override the Constitution, period.

2) Even if it could, it’d have to pass both houses of Congress, then withstand a Presidential veto and have 2/3 of EACH house override the veto.

IT. AIN’T. HAPPENING.
