The despicable House Democrats, led by the demented (literally) and depraved Nancy Pelosi will, like lemmings following their leader off the proverbial cliff, vote to impeach the 45th President of the United States later today. And then…what? – Our country will go on, and so will the Trump presidency, for at least another year and most likely for four more years after that.
The Senate will dispose of these sham articles of impeachment quickly once they arrive at its doorstep in the new year. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made that clear on Tuesday when he suggested that, following opening arguments in a Senate trial, the Republicans will offer a motion to simply dismiss the case. McConnell also said that, just as the House impeachment exercise has been a purely partisan affair, he expects the Senate trial to be the same, meaning he does not anticipate losing a single GOP vote to the other side.
We’ll see. So long as Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski remain senators, the prospect of GOP unanimity on any matter remains elusive.
Regardless, there is currently zero indication that McConnell and Lindsey Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, will allow this go take up more than a handful of Senate days in 2020. After all, the Senate has more important matters to attend to, like confirming dozens more Trump-appointed judges to the federal judiciary.
Once impeachment is done, President Trump will be tagged with the scarlet letter for the rest of his days, but that has hardly had any ill effect on Bill Clinton, who, along with the Coughing Crook, somehow managed to become near-billionaires in the years following his presidency. It seems that impeachment ain’t what it used to be, or perhaps it never really was.
The reality is that the cheapening of the impeachment process that Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler have wrought also cheapens its impact. Everyone in the country knows this is purely a hateful partisan exercise based on nothing real, the Democrat/media narrative to the contrary notwithstanding. The polling data available indicates that this entire charade has failed to turn a single American person against President Trump; indeed, if anything it has actually improved his standing among the voting public.
As I told radio host Greg Budell during my weekly appearance on Newstalk 93.1 FM in Montgomery, AL on Tuesday, the Democrats are going through with this because they literally have no choice. Their party has no real political agenda other than doubling down on Venezuelan-style socialism and they know their lineup of hacks, frauds and political midgets has no chance of actually defeating Donald Trump in a free election.
So their strategy at this point is do everything they can to de-legitimize the electoral process, and that starts by impeaching the President. That will lead to the narrative that he is now an illegitimate candidate, and the Senate’s quick acquittal of Trump will lead to the narrative that Trump and Putin will just team up to steal the presidency again in 2020.
Make no mistake about this, folks: The Democrat Party as it stands today is an anti-free and fair election party. What do you think the move to issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens this week in New York and New Jersey is all about? It’s nothing more than an organized effort by the Democrat Party to facilitate massive voter fraud in those two states, which now join California in going down this road. You should expect states like Virginia and others along the East and West coasts to follow shortly.
The Democrats know they cannot win free and fair elections, so their plan is to do away with them, state-by-state. The three states mentioned above are already lost to the GOP for the foreseeable future, but when you see that particular effort going into place in marginal states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida, or “red” states like Texas or Alabama or Georgia – where Stacey Abrams is working hard on exactly that – then the entire country stands in real jeopardy.
As I’ve written regularly since about 1992, the only true, clear and present existential threat to the United States of America as it is constituted today is not Russia, not China, not Iran or North Korea or any other country. The only true, clear and present existential threat to the American democratic republic is the Democrat Party.
This sham impeachment is just the latest in a long line of clear manifestations of that reality.
We truly are living in interesting – and dangerous – times.
That is all.
Even more impeachment “news” throughout the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, with the belief that most Americans will just want the topic to go away by any means.
Is David Blackmon the Gateway Pundit? Just asking.
Singapore. Every single libtard we can get our hands on needs to be rounded up, put on a plane to Venezuela and informed if they are ever again found on US soil they will be summarily executed on the spot.
He should wear it as a badge of honor.
He should remind anyone who disparages the title that the Democrats were so scared of him, so angry he had beat them and so powerless to defeat him at the ballot box, that this power play was their pitiful attempt to artificially remove him.
Trump (and America) wins! Again!
It will be more of the same. The Dems will call acquittal in the a Senate a cover up and keep fighting for every inch of political turf every day. GOP not so much.
Hi, I listen to Greg Budell in Montgomery all the time. When are you going to be on next?
“Is David Blackmon the Gateway Pundit?”
Why would anyone insult David like that calling him Gateway Spudnik?
...the cheapening of the impeachment process that Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler have wrought also cheapens its impact...
...if anything it has actually improved his standing among the voting public...
I believe these ideas are spot on. If I were President Trump, I would pull this right into my campaign for re-election. Far from hiding from it, I'd make it front and center. Something like "Here's my performance review:"
Continuing ... "These are just some of the promises I made as a candidate, and kept as your President. For all this success and Making America Great Again the Democrats impeached me. They didn't like MAGA, they want policies that help them accumulate and exercise power, while you all suffer. Vote for me and we'll Keep America Great. Vote for a Democrat, and they'll impeach anyone who gets in the way of their power grab. Impeach this!"
Yeah, I believe President Trump will revel in the 'rats having impeached him. He can pull up his record and point to it, and to the 'rats, and destroy them.
While a full trial that airs all the dirty laundry of the Bidens and the Democrats would be enjoyable, I think an early motion to dismiss is the best outcome. It will underscore that the charges were illegitimate, and it will forever put an asterisk on the impeachment effort. It will be the impeachment that was thrown out of court.
New year’s eve. We are skipping next Tuesday due to Christmas. I’m on at 3:35 every Tuesday.
Good God, no.
“If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, OR to destroy by force the Government of the United States......SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY”
Exactly what the President has said this is
“A FRIVOLOUS impeachment vote is a SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY”
The Senate shouldn’t even take it up. Ignore it. What are the Dems gonna do? stamp their feet?
McConnell should throw a press conference..with a big trashcan present to throw the “articles” of impeachment into it
“President Trump will be tagged with the scarlet letter..”
Scarlet letter...BS!!!
Everyone knows damn good and well that he is going to turn that in to a BADGE OF HONOR and will mention it every campaign stop.
So there I was, working hard for you, the American people and there the little pathetic democrats were led by the squad, not Nasty Nancy, but the squad.
AOC, who supports Bernie Sanders. That squad, that lead the democrats and they are and have been fighting me and US every chance they had to undo everything we have been working so hard to Make America Great Again!!! They want to undo it, they can’t stand to see you win.
The economy is up, unemployment is down, life is so much better for women and African Americans and Hispanics we are making trade deals to benefit America, we are safer and there the little lying pathetic democrats are, trying to drag US down...impeach, impeach, impeach, they are like a broken record....loud roar of applause, and with your continued support, we will take back the house and retain the senate and with your support and the good Lord willing, together, we will keep the White House and together, we will continue to Keep America Great!!!! God Bless You All and God Bless America!!! Loud applause, thunderous roar of the crowd…WINNING!!!
Great! I usually listen in the morning to Greg’s morning show but I know Greg is on again in the afternoon. I’ll start listening!
Maybe I can drop a line and say “Hi!”
What?
Well they will get Crushed next fall.... that’s what.
They will go onto even more outrageous conduct since there has been zero prosecution of their current criminal acts.
House: 228 - 206 for Senate: 45 - 55 against
I believe this impeachment is all about Trump zeroing in on exposing a host of Dem and Republicans who have been taking laundered money bribes in exchange for our tax dollars in the form of aid. This is a pre-emptive strike to discredit any attempt at prosecution of these crimes.
If I were President Trump, I would pull this right into my campaign for re-election. Far from hiding from it, I’d make it front and center. Something like “Here’s my performance review:”
Record low unemployment
Record labor force participation rates
Useful trade agreements with China
Useful trade agreements with Canada & Mexico
Food stamp need/usage reduced 25%
North Korea held in check
ISIS threat virtually eliminated
Iran held in check
