Trump’s Defenders Have No Defense
Wall Street Journal ^ | 11/22/2019 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 11/22/2019 3:38:22 PM PST by HogsBreath

Look, the case has been made. Almost everything in the impeachment hearings this week fleshed out and backed up the charge that President Trump muscled Ukraine for political gain. The pending question is what precisely the House and its Democratic majority will decide to include in the articles of impeachment, what statutes or standards they will assert the president violated.

Poor Peggy, writing what an ever diminishing audience wants to hear, not what they need to hear.

I couldn’t read the whole article because it was behind a paywall. But from what you’ve posted it doesn’t sound as if Noonan is saying exactly what the headline said. Maybe a bad attempt at sarcasm?

That said, she’s past her sell-by date, which actually happened after Reagan left office. She attacked the inoffensive and barely conservative GWB all the time too, but I think that was after he had fired her. Since then she has had few flickers of wisdom. And I hate her portentous/pretentious tone.

“In June 2019, after Noonan called on congressional Democrats to censure President Trump in the wake of the Mueller Report, he attacked her on Twitter, calling her “simplistic” “

The bit@h is getting even.

I have yet to hear what Trump did illegal. Is the press going to admit Hunter Biden is under investigation in Ukraine and his company Burisma is under indictment?

Peggy Noonan is a screeching liberal b*tch.

Washington D.C. is Bushwood Country Club.

The entire apparatus of the country club and it's members are the Washington political elite. Someone let in Donald Trump as Rodney Dangerfield. Adam Schiff is Judge Smails.

Peggy should be in a nursing home.
She has lost her mind.

She was right in saying Joe Biden should enjoy retirement and not run for POTUS.

She wrote the most amazing column that turned out to foretell 911 - she seemed to sense that something horrible could happen.

Since then I think she isn’t worth reading.

Lavrenty Beria, Stalin’s Chief of Secret Police said that.

Beria had a shot at succeeding Stalin, but Khruschev and the other inner group had him arrested, “tried”, and executed. They didn’t want him on over them; he would have been worse than Stalin.

Donald Trump threatens to ruin 50 years of carefully planned elitist hard work for perpetuity and continuance of their blood lines and revenue streams. Trump is the grim reaper wielding truth as his syth. That must be stopped at any and all costs.

Noonan supported Barry.

She crossed that line long ago.

Won’t sign up to read the article but did she point out all the crimes he committed? Or as always - just generalities? People sure have something against specifics - I wonder why! And they expect people to believe them?

In a sense, she's right that on the call Trump asked Ukraine to investigate young Biden and discussed aid, which was withheld for a while and then restored. That's what is so bizarre about this so-called impeachment investigation. What Trump did is not a crime and is not an impeachable offense. It's one big nothingburger. It's like the Seinfeld show, it's about nothing. Although, of course, that's not how the media portrays it.

That said, I've very disappointed by Peggy. I've enjoyed her columns for many years but it looks like she's joining the impeachment mob.

I’d say Peggy stuck her tampons in her ears as the reason she missed the testimonies, but then the beyotch is way past menopause, so it’s simply a case of dementia on her part.

Dear Peggy:
Your claim about President Trump is the equivalent of accusing John Doe of robbing a grocery store. John Doe denies it and the store owner says no only did John Doe not rob my store, there was NO robbery! But then you persist in your claim! Absurd.
