Joy Reid: I'll Explain Impeachment Simply So Even Trump Supporters Can Understand
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/09/2019 11:21:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Liberals love to condescend to conservatives, imagining us to be a bunch of benighted rubes. We poor, misguided souls will see the light once the veil is lifted from our eyes by kindly liberals carefully explaining things at a level within the ken of our limited intellectual capacity.

Combine that with the trope of relatives arguing politics over Thanksgiving, and you have Joy Reid this morning on her MSNBC show. She imagined a "cranky Uncle Roscoe" yelling "read the transcript!" She promised to provide viewers with all they needed to know about impeachment, so they could "easily explain [it] to Uncle Roscoe and Auntie Carol."

Reid counseled viewers to eschew describing the cast of characters, or trying to explain "quid pro quo." Instead, she suggested that people keep it simple by saying that Trump engaged in extortion and bribery in his dealings with the Ukrainian government.

Reid condescendingly concluded: "even Uncle Roscoe and Auntie Carol ought to understand that."

I find it hard to believe that anybody listens to her, but I guess there is an idiot born every day.

Remember a few years ago, Obama and his people distributed talking points, to discuss Obamacare at Thanksgiving dinner?

I imagine Thanksgiving will be strained for some this year, with impeachment in the air.

But Thanksgiving 2020 will be even more difficult. At Thanksgiving next year, we will know the results of the 2020 election.

This woman is a clueless pig who enjoys trying to lecture others. A legend in her small mind.

I will explain it so even a mindless poltical bigot like Joy Reid can understand

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media. We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here. Nothing in the “transcripts” displays a crime

If Quid Pro Quo is a “Crime” Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP. Watch the video of him bragging about it.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did, neither is Trump guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House.

What is most bizarre about this whole discussion is that nations engage in all sorts of negotiations with each other that could be seen as “extortion and blackmail” by ethical purists.

They trade this for that, they offer to hide this if they get that—welcome to the planet....

You just can’t fix stupid.

So... She’s suggesting that...

People should repeat WITHOUT EVIDENCE that Trump engaged in extortion and bribery in his dealings with the Ukrainian government??

Lunacy

Gee thanks. Since millions of these people are going to kick your ass twelve months from now it’s a good idea to get to know them

Oh, we understand.

Don’t worry. We really do.

Pray you don’t ever need the proof.
