He is also a threat to expose Schiff’s lies regarding contacts and scheming. Schiff is desposable if truth starts leaking and the criminal enterprise exposes the coup perps ... Brennan is a traitor who must be protected by deep state.

Your comment is disgustingly accurate.

For the life of me, the country had a good thing going with Reagan. It was pointed in the right direction. Then we started heading down the crap hole again with three leftards in a row: Clinton, Bush II & obama.

We are now just getting back on our feet again. America will be so happy and content by 2024 that they’ll fall for another line of demonrat bullshit.

But there is a difference. The leftist media has been carrying the rats water since the 60’s and America has finally realized they are just a bunch of pathetic liars that when they cannot adjust the facts to suit their narrative, they just make them up.

Plus the demonrat party is imploding. It’s really hard to say what there will be come 2024 in terms of opposition.

"What was the heart of the Democrats' case to remove Trump?

"Trump failed to invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to"...blah blah blah blah blah!

WRONG!

The dark heart of the Democrats' case to remove Trump is PANIC because they know he will be re-elected and will expose their crimes and corruption, put an end to their gravy-train, and throw them in jail!

THAT is what's behind the entire 4-year-long coup d'état attempt!

If they do win in 2024, the Trump Court will limit their mischief.

He did not hold the press conference requested.

Correction: He did not hold the press conference allegedly requested.

There is no evidence that President Trump ever made that request. The claim is purely a DemocRAT talking point, focus grouped for maximum effect, but having no basis in fact. While I do agree with most of Buchanan's column, I do object to his repeating the DemocRAT talking points, unless it is to expose their non-factual basis. By stating it the way he did, Buchanan gave credibility to the DemocRATs' mendacious claim.

In any case, do not the American people have a right to know when someone in high office uses the office for personal gain, as Biden apparently did? Asking for an investigation into the matter serves a perfectly valid national security purpose, which is not impeachable at all.

Trump has given us reaons for renewed optimisim however there are also sharp political, cultural and demographic divisons in the country. Whenthe inevitable economic correction comes along its going to accentuate those differences.

The fundamental problem facing the country IMO is that one side wants and cherishes liberty and freedom while the other demands control and power. These are irreconcilable differences and the gap between these two “camps” seems to be widening and firming.

As time goes by the millenials and immigrants will be exerxcising more and more political influence. We may be doing well now but I’m not sanguine about our long term future.

“Perhaps, but only if some future Howard Zinn is writing the history.”

EVERY American who has school-aged children should understand this sentence...since Zinn now infects just about every public school.

But I doubt 5% of American parents have any clue.

A lot of them were tempted. But those deplorables who can’t see reason were threatening to annihilate the party.

“Oh don’t worry they’ll be back. American politics is a pendulum. 2024 they win. But hey 2032 we win again. It’s all very predictable.”

Don’t be so sure. We may well become a 3-party country with this election, with the Republican Party staying united under Trump. Suicide, of course, for the Dems, but I do think that half of their party is secretly scared Shiiteless of their Leftist radicals (the people that they created, by the way)...and would prefer Trump to them, and Republicans in general, to them, at least until their radicals get purged.

Nope. The one thing both parties agree on completely is to undercut and destroy any 3rd parties. And the GOP is only united in keeping the GOP going. As soon as Trump is gone they’ll move to whoever grabs the flag. And given how Americans like to go one way, then complain that all their problems weren’t solved so they go the other, whoever gets the GOP flag next will bear no resemblance to Trump.

The difference is that they are SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE, as in 50/50 between The Squad and the Old Guard. Republicans are nothing like that, and Trump is not about to let the GOP protect the Democrat Party in keeping them from splitting (assuming that was somehow possible), at least through 2024.

So we may disagree, but I think the Democrat Party will have to deal with this on their own, and it may result in 3 parties for a while - with the Old Guard, now jettisoned of The Squad moving back to try to get a chunk of Trump’s base.

Obama never gave military aid to Ukraine against Putin. And that's supposed to be, as this article claims, an Obama lead "coup"??

Nah.

More likely than an Obama lead coup, it was Obama, Soros and all the other corrupt global and Ukrainian leeches trying to get in on Ukraine's legitimate removal of their corrupt Putin-puppet president, Viktor Yanukovych.

It was a legitimate uprising by the people. And the corrupt leeches descended on the power vacuum.

They’re not split down the middle. That was part of the point of the impeachment, to remind them that they have a common enemy. The GOP is probably very much more split, because of the Tea Party, they really spawned a new guys vs old squad mentality. But once all the Tea Party guys got reelected they became old squad, hence why Cruz got killed in the primaries.

The only “help” the GOP will give the Dems, IS RIGHT NOW giving the Dems, is the same protection they give themselves. They have deliberately constructed a system at all levels of government that undercuts any 3rd party’s ability to participate in the government. Any independent that gets elected, assuming they can navigate the hurtles that the parties have built into that process, will quickly find themselves shut out of committees until they pick a party to “caucus” with. If you’re not in committees you can’t get cosponsors, which means you can’t propose legislation, which means you’re marking time. There’s a reason so much of the public believes we have a two party system. We DIDN’T, but the dems and GOP, both upstarts that replaced previous parties, have made it so we do now. All of the rules of Congress, and the state legislatures, were built by these 2 parties to shut out competition. And that’s how it’s going to stay.

Gallup has Trump now at 94% GOP support, there is no division in the rank and file. Yes, the old guard is still there (and that’s the only split), but they’ll get pushed aside, assuming that Trump wins in November.

If you think the Dems are unified, I’ve got a bridge...

Sure now. 2024 he’s out one way or the other. And the mushy middle will vote for the dem candidate, because mushy middle switches. And the whole pattern starts over again. Doesn’t matter if the dems are unified now, the mushy middle loves incumbents and Trump will be reelected. 2024 is when it counts. And even then it doesn’t. The mushy middle decides elected, and they move with the predictability of the tides.
