What if Democrats were forced to play by their own rules?
American Thinker ^ | 24 Jan, 2021 | Bill Weckesser

Just think of all the Democrats who would have to be impeached!

Credit Scott Adams with the best conservative strategy since Reagan's "We win. They lose," plan against the USSR.  A couple of weeks ago on a Periscope broadcast, he introduced his "Aggressive Compliance with the Rules" plan.  Under this strategy, Republicans would have to demand that Democrats play by the Democrats' rules.

Adams suggests that this be applied in the case of impeachment.  He argues that Democrats' case against Trump be made against them.  Democrats argue that he incited people to violence in his January 6 speech, as stated in the articles against him:

SNIP

Adams says fine.  If that's the standard to remove Trump from office, it must also be the standard for removing members of Congress as well.

We all know that speaker Pelosi, along with Representative Waters and a host of others, have said far worse.  So articles of impeachment must immediately be filed against each of them and any other Democrat who's said likewise.  Adams makes the point that highlighting the Democrats' hypocrisy — the traditional tried and failed GOP strategy — needs to be thrown onto the ash heap.  For far too long we've complained, we've talked, we've followed conservative media, we've written essays — hell, we've even voted Republican.  Now is the time for action.

It's time for conservatives to contact Leader McCarthy and their nearest GOP member of Congress and demand that they file articles of impeachment against Pelosi and Waters ASAP.  Democrats must be held to the same standards they wish to apply to Republicans.  The time for talking is over.  Only by applying what Adams called "aggressive compliance with the rules" will we have any hope of success.

And the impeach issue is just the first one.

The dems might be pushing this second impeachment because there is still a chance that this could turn around and the election fraud may be acknowledged and acted on, which means Trump is still president at this time, and eligible for impeachment.

The only problem is that it is the MSM that would be the ones to force the Democrats to play by the same rules, and they won't. They give Dems passes for things that they crucify Republicans over. They praise things about Democrats that they scorn Republicans for.

Just one tiny example is the way they refused to cover Melania Trump's fashions, yet sing the praises of DOKKTOR Jill Biden's gloves on Inaugration Day.

Scott Adam’s did not come up with the idea of compliance. Saul Alinsky did.

The whole point of the Democrats is that they make the rules. There is only one fix for this...

I agree. But a simple suggestion. As part of DJT’s impeachment trial defense show video after video democrats encourage or calling for violence. It would have a nationwide aud8ance.

The problem here is that everyone who discusses political strategies assume that the enemy will accept any rules of engagement we attempt to place on them.

“Enemy” is the key. We wrestle, whether physically or politically, with friends, accepting the win or loss, and returning to wrestle the next day. We fight with enemies, and the only acceptable solution is total and complete surrender or annihilation.

The present administration, along with its sycophants in the MSM, academia, and the courts, think of us as their enemy, and treat us accordingly. We have no choice but to do the same, not because we want to, but because the enemy allows us only the options of total surrender or total annihilation.

What rules? Mob rules? The rules are what I say they are?
They have no rules, except to rule
They have no principles except to extinguish all that oppose them

DJT’s second impeachment trial will have a nationwide audience.

A PERFECT TIME to run multiple videos showing "tolerant and compassionate Democrats"
encouraging, and even calling for violence, against deplorables, and other people that annoy them.

You can’t force the DemocRats to play by their own rules when they can change the rules to fit their needs on a whim.

Cannot impeach members of Congress.

The only thing we can do is vote them out.

The dems have solved that problem by rigging the vote so that they can never be voted out.
