Dems Use Forged "Evidence" in Impeachment Case [semi-satire]

Though many in the media have called the case against Trump put forth by House Democrats "impressive" and "persuasive," careful attention to detail has revealed repeated misleading editing of the video presentations and the alteration of content in some tweets to make it appear that people were saying something other than what they actually posted.

In the splicing of shots from Trump's address to the Jan. 6th rally with shots of the riot at the Capitol, the President's request that his supporters walk over to the Capitol and "peacefully and patriotically" make their voices heard was edited out. His urging that they "fight for our country"--a phrase used by many Democrats in many speeches both before and after election day—was cast as an incitement to physically fight members of Congress.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif), one of the impeachment prosecutors, showed a doctored version of a tweet posted by Trump supporter Jennifer Lawrence. Her original tweet used the word "Calvary." Swalwell changed this to "cavalry" to imply that she was bringing an armed contingent to the Capitol. Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified. Swalwell defended his editing, saying that "the ill-educated deplorables that make up the bulk of Trump's supporters don't know the difference between these two similar sounding words. It is my contention that 'Calvary' was a 'dog whistle' to these ignorant people urging them to attack their rulers."

Rep Jamie Raskin (D-Md) charged that Trump's supporters burned a Washington DC church the month before the riot at the Capitol. Actually, the historic St John's Church in Washington, DC was set on fire in May of 2020 during a protest over the death of George Flyod while in the custody of Minneapolis police. Raskin insisted that "the point is that it is the racist environment nurtured by Trump that has been the cause of all the violence we've seen since he took office. So, even if Trump's supporters didn't actually set fire to a church, they are part of a culture that could easily stoop to such a heinous criminal act."

Democrats have said the house managers verbally said that Trump did say “peacefully” but that doesn’t excuse them for showing edited video that excluded “peacefully.”

[Viking2002]

I wish Trump would set fire to Raskin's hair. I can't believe anyone's mother would let their child go out of the house looking like that.

Evening, John. 👌

Many years ago a friend who was a psychologist told me that the inability to distinguish between reality and fantasy in adults was a hallmark of schizophrenia. In which case the entire left wing of the D party needs a daily dose of lithium. Or needs to be institutionalized.

Lithium is used for treating bipolar disorder, not schizophrenia. The institutionalization part sounds good, though.

From cochran.org:
The evidence base for the use of lithium in schizophrenia is limited to 22 studies of overall low methodological quality. There is no randomised trial-based evidence that lithium on its own is an effective treatment for people with schizophrenia.

All clinical schizophrenics, I have ever met, were violent lefties!
I know one, who, while he could never hold a job, run in Democratic primary for something. Almost won!
Makes me wonder how many actually won?!

[AZJeep]

He is a total nutt, heavily medicated, not able to hold any job, living on welfare. Actually somewhat scary to be around.
Yet he sounds like MSM, fighting the one percenters, Trump, etc. And heavy involved in Democratic party. I guess he’s got the time.

I’m sick of these hoaxes the dims keep trying to pull. And we the taxpayers have to foot the bill for their b.s.
This is a classic from that piece of s—t Swallwell.
This enrageed me.

I do believe that leftism attracts the mentally ill. To be a leftist, one must hold contradictory beliefs that have no relation to reality. The further left, the more distant from reality. Leftism is the perfect ideology for those whose grasp on reality is tenuous.

"Xi was also impressed by Mr. Biden's agreement that China's treatment of the filthy sub-human Uighurs was strictly an internal matter," Xinhua reported. "This clears the path for more fertile progress toward China's global dominance. And killing the Keystone Pipeline means more Canadian oil will flow to us. Meanwhile, Mr. Biden has put America on the road to higher energy prices for less reliable wind and solar power. On top of agreeing to let America bear most of the burden of the fight against global climate change, Mr. Biden has also generously made China eligible for a share of his $1.9 billion COVID bailout stimulus package. His capacity for meeting our needs is unmatched by any previous American president."

Thanks, John, for another fine column and semi-unifying clarification of what's really on the left's collective and alleged mind.
