State of Delusion: Democrats Privately Panic Following Transcript, Impeachment Fallout
Breitbart ^ | 09-25-19 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 09/26/2019 6:09:21 AM PDT by Monrose72

Democrats and Republicans demonstrated starkly different reactions following the release of the unredacted transcript of President Trump’s conversation with the president of Ukraine. Many congressional Democrats publicly declared it the “smoking gun,” while Republicans dismissed their cries by noting the absence of quid pro quo or generally lawless behavior. However, Democrats are striking a drastically different tone privately, as several reports indicate. The far-left flank of the Democrat caucus forced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to concede and announce a formal impeachment inquiry against the president on Tuesday. She made the announcement prior to the release of the transcript, which detailed the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

These ARE the same clowns who (without reading it) passed legislation affecting 16% of the economy for the most powerful sovereign entity in the known universe!!

You expected something different?

What will our alternative be if Trump is thrown out?


We will be entering uncharted area without anything to guide us.

I don’t believe anyone knows.

The repercussions will go way beyond the worry of a RINO winning the office.

The election of Lincoln was the final straw for southern states and led to a civil war. The removal of a sitting President because they hate that he won over Hillary may be the trigger for a new “civil war”.

It’s a smokescreen.

The Democrats attack to disrupt any investigation into Obama or the Clintons.

Trump was the alternative to war.

China is the one backing this. They fast tracked this because the sanctions are destroying the Chinese economy. It was already a mess. The tariffs are tipping it over.

E. Evidence of crimes in which they are complicit is now in the hands of a populist they cannot control.

No, I think, as Rush Limbaugh mentioned yesterday, there are a good 30 so-called “moderates” (they are all commies) who are in swing districts who are terrified because they know this is it for them. Their districts won’t be happy.

Three weeks ago I didn’t think the GOP could re-take the House.

Now, I’m re-thinking that.

They are not going to vote articles of impeachment.

That would give Trump the right to a trial, where he could quite literally throw open the vault on classified material in his defense.

Plus a yea to impeach would be a political death knell for any Dem in a purple district.

This is just the new Mueller witch hunt to be used to circulate falsehoods in the press.

The long game? The old hag is almost 80. How much of a long game has she got left?

It will be difficult in districts with “ballot-harvesting”.

But even in those districts they barely won.

No, Obama and Clintons are gone... losing ground to protect them serves no purpose...

Pelosi isn’t stupid, she knows impeachment is an election dead end for the D’s.. they will get slaughtered.

I stand by my hypothesis.. She’s sick of the far left whackadoos, they are destroying the party long term and she knows it... so she may just be rope a doping them.. give them what they want... the party goes down in flames in the election cycle, and the entire radical lefts power is wholesale undercut, allowing the party to regroup, and move back toward some semblance of sanity for the 2024 election cycle, when they actually would have the better chance of taking the white house.

Not the long game for her, the long game for the Democrats.

Democrats are DONE as a national party the further left they slide... the radical left has gotten too much power and needs to be put into check.

Easiest way to put htem into check is to let them have their way and then have them get all out slaughtered at the ballot box...

Undercuts the entire wing of the party in 1 foul swoop.

I think Pelosi may have just decided, we can’t win this election and we know it, so what can we accomplish? Best thing would be to completely cut these whackadoo leftists off at the knees.. easiest way to do that? Let them have their way for an election cycle...

Left is going to relearn the lessons of 1972...

You hit the bullseye:

"1. payback for Clinton's impeachment 20 years ago and a detraction from Trump's achievements.

2. Barr and Judicial Watch are hitting paydirt on Clinton, Biden, and Obama corruption.

3. The Ukrainian ploy may be an attempt to preempt their enemies"

Not only would the impeachment of a Republican President serve as payback and assuage their lust for revenge, but it would also give them license to pass Clinton's impeachment off as purely politically motivated, rather than as the result of serious crimes, e.g. perjury, obstruction of justice, and intimidation of witnesses, not to mention unresolved charges of rape and sexual assault: classic examples of vengeance and the tu quote fallacy of logic, useful tools of the evil and of tyrants.

They MUST prevent the exposure of the TRUTH about Clinton, Biden, Obama, and the rest of them--no matter what the cost! TRUTH will destroy them and their evil designs on America!

The Ukraine Ploy is their last resort--WE HOPE! They have decided to go for broke--full speed ahead. From their point of view, that's the smartest action. Even if it backfires on them, the consequences of Trump's re-election and the exposure of TRUTH are too dire for them to take the risk. And furthermore, to quote one of their spiritual leaders, Joseph Stalen: "Audacity is 90% of the battle." The Ukraine Ploy is their most audacious attack yet--the "offense" is obviously bogus to everyone.

Nothing is ever a “last resort” for Dems. They do not give up. If they don’t have something to attack about, they and their propaganda media team will just make something up. With the internet, it doesn’t matter if the lie is exposed, even apologized for, a few days later. The lie is on the internet forever and available for a boost by biased social media.

Pelosi foolishly made it look like ‘this is it’ when it’s actually not

Yup. She does not want a vote on articles as that will end the careers of her members in purple districts. The Senate will never convict anyway, but they could give Trump a trial where he's free to declassify and introduce ANYTHING into evidence in his defense. And Lord only knows where THAT could lead.

But you're right, her base is likely too dumb to realize that this is kabuki theater.

"This is just the new Mueller witch hunt to be used to circulate falsehoods in the press."

You're right. This is the latest and most rabid phase of their 3-year-long tantrum due to Trump's victory in their rigged election--and because their evil designs on America were thwarted.

Nothing is beneath these people.

They are cornered gutter rats fighting for survival. Truth and President Trump, who carries the Light of Truth and is intent on bringing Truth to light--whatever it may be and whatever the consequences--threatens all that they stand for, all that they believe, all the evil with which they have allowed themselves to be suffused.
