Show the Democrats are saying that if they vote to convict Trump suddenly that will make the 70+ Million people that voted for him just say OK, I was wrong, Orange man was bad it’s time to forget he never existed and unite around Joe Biden?

That ain’t gonna happen.

Well, I hope his lawyers do better in upcoming days than they did on the opening day.

If Trump has one flaw when it comes to leadership, it’s that he is TOO open-minded, and wants to give opportunity to people to prove themselves; and he sometimes has given that opportunity to people who have failed or even taken bad - even venal - advantage of him.

I can understand why he would be afraid of a lot of higher profile lawyers who may have taken this case - he’s so often been screwed-over by ‘establishment’ people he has trusted.

But I think God is on his side, and I guess we’ll see.

Every time I attempt to comment on these things... words fail me... there are no words for what I’d like to say.

I was born with no computers.... no phones.... no cars.... no electricity..... no modern kitchen... no running water... no liars .. no hate filled beings that wanted to destroy.... I knew no one who lived to destroy another person....
I know how to survive if we lost power... and many other things.... but I don’t know or understand what the dem party is doing today to our President. I don’t know how biden got to sit in the oval office.. he was not elected by the votes... he just took over on a lie... a huge lie and stealing the rest of the way.

I dare say if you ask 1000 seniors, you would get answers that you would not get from the younger..

I’m just ramblin... but this stuff going on.. disturbs me to the core!!!!!!!!!!

As I wrote very early Thursday morning, Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-Md) is a “Red Diaper Baby”, i.e. the son/child of either an old Communist Party USA member(s) or of a “Marxist” (non-party ideologue).>There is a very strict legal delineation/meaning for the use of these terms.

Regarding Raskin’s father, Marcus Raskin, once an aide to McGeorge Bundy and staff member of the National Security Council, (p. 28, “Covert Cadre” Inside the Institute for Policy Studies”, 1987, Green Hill, S. Steven Powell), joined with Richard Barnet, a so-called liberal turned covert Marxist “at a White House/State Dept. conference in 1961.

“Barnet was deputy director for political research of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. When he met Raskin, he “recalled how he had noticed Raskin’s alientation and contempt for “the whole military-industrial establishment sitting there at one table. “”Marc and I both grimaced at the same moment,” said Barnet, and “knew we didn’t belong here.”

Two years later they helped found the Marxist-funded and staffed Institute for Policy Studies, p. 28-29.

[Chapter 3: “Political Pilgrims Turn Militant Hub of Activism at Home and Links with Revolutionaries Abroad”].

Marcus Raskin’s Marxist philosophy was written about on various pages of “Covert Cadre” including p. 10 where Raskin stated that, as written by Powell “The mission of the Institute for Policy Studies, commonly known as IPS, is to “liberate” people from their colonized status and to “ reconstruct” society - an ambitious if rather vague undertaking.”

Chapter 5: p. 54. ...’Barnet and Raskin called “dismantling the national security state” as a key goal of the IPS.

Raskin was outed as a Marxist in a book, “First Harvest”, 1983, about the IPS on p. 246, “Chapter 15: “Power and Influence on Capitol Hill IPS and Congress”. Author Powell wrote about this in the second paragraph as follows:

“While IPS is usually identified as a liberal institution by the major media, Marxist would be the more accurate term. In the institute’s twentieth-anniversary publication, “First Harvest” (ed. John Friedman), Raskinw rites that “such positive social philosophies as Marxism are beginning to have a larger following...We are all Marxists - either by using that analysis or playing out, as actors, the tragic role Marx foresaw” (cited at footnote 3).

While Marcus Raskin had a decades long record of ties to Soviet fronts, causes, conferences and KGB or suspected KGB agents in America, Richard Barnett had an even longer record of ties to various communist parties and their fronts from the Moscow-directed Communist Party USA to the Trotskyite/now Stalinist “Workers World Party” and even some support for fronts of the Trotskyite “Socialist Workers Party (now fragmented to hell).

He was a key “Hanoi Lobby” leader and visitor to Hanoi in support of their aggression in Indochina during and after the wars of conquest ended.

He was outted as a Marxist by an article in the maoist-oriented US radical newspaper, “(The) Guardian”, on April 19-21 1984 concerning his participation in, the “Second Annual Socialist Scholars Conference”. “Guardian”, May 2, 1984 edition, p. 2, “John Trinkl”, “Socialists Confer and Differ”.

Under the subsection “Middle East Panel”, second paragraph, the writer said: “In other panels, Marxist writers Richard Barnet, Richard Falk (another Hanoi Lobby legal activist and law professor) and Gabriel Kolko (Marxist professor in Canada) all broadly agreed that the resurgence of the Cold War was due to the U.S. trying to reassert itself to counter its declining influence.”

This may be one of the only descriptions of Barnet as a “Marxist” by a Marxist publication while those of us who have heard him speak and followed his communist life-long activities path, knew that he was a “red” all along.

In fact, Barnet, Fellow IPS, gave one of the “Introductory Remarks” on Jan. 25, 1978 at the Soviet KGB-Central Committee of the CPSU “peace” front, the World Peace Council’s “World Dialogue on Disarmament and Détente, Wash. DC, Jan 25-27, 1978.

It was sponsored by the CPUSA-controlled, and probably created “DC Committee for a Dialogue on Disarmament and Détente” which included the CPUSA WPC affiliate, the Paul Robeson Friendship Society and CPUSA members Alfred Henley (CP’s W.E. B. DuBois School of Marxist Studies; George B. Murphy Jr. Washington Afro-American newspaper; CP - sympathizer Acie Byrd, Robeson Society; James True - affiliated with either the CP front, the National Lawyers Guild or their youth organization, the YWLL; Sam Abbott - old CPUSA organizer since the 1930’s; Susan Cepeda, WREE - Women for Racial and Economic Equality, a CPUSA front; Josephine Butler, DC Statehood Party and Robeson Society; William Simon, head of the Marxist controlled Wash. Teachers Union, and Michigan Marxist; Prof. Archie Singham, a longtime CPUSA fronts supporter/activist in the WPC; to Jack O’Dell, covert/id. CPUSA national leader, private secretary to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr./SCLC (one reason for the FBI surveillance on King), Jesse Jackson’s top “foreign affairs/department” aide for Operation Breadbasket, Operation PUSH, the Rainbow Coalition, the PLO front, the Palestine Human Rights Campaign, Mobilization for Survival, etc.

Just thought I’d throw in the kitchen sink here to make sure that my identifications of the people mentioned in this posting were well documented. The fronts were identified by congressional committees (HCUA, HISC, SISS, SACB), by reports put into the Congressional Record over the years by Rep. Ashbrook, Zion, McDonald, Fannin, etc., by special reports from the Sen. Select Committee on Intelligence, the USIA’s “Disinformation” project, articles in Human Events Weekly newspaper, The Pink Sheet on the Left/American Sentinal, and books such as those by Powell, Romerstein/Breindel/Vassiliev; M. Stanton Evans, Haynes/Khlehr and Western Goals - “The War Called Peace: The Soviet Peace Offensive”, Rep. Ashbrook/MP Helmut Sauer/John Rees and Julia Ferguson, 1982.

As I always admonish FR writers, try to document your primary sources as much as possible for our readers to see, look up and read.

Two other sources on some of these people and groups are:
www.keywiki.org, search under the name of a person or organization
www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org, David Horowitz’s group, search by same terms.

Now on to the next post!

“senators and congressional staffers running for their lives.”

This made me laugh out loud.

It’s absurd.

The media is fully depraved. As are its supplicants and masters.

You don’t need or want to understand the ‘dems’. They’ve collectively lost their minds, and trying to understand them would just drag you down into their insanity.

Stay with your own good mind, and with what you know and have proven to yourself is true.

(As my old Granny used to say, ‘Sit back and watch the wheels turn’:-)

argue Trump could stoke more violence if not convicted

How exactly is convicting him going to prevent him from "stoking more violence", if that were actually his intent? You'll have to prevent him from speaking, of being heard, of being seen, no?

These people are absolutely insane. They seek to erase Trump from history, and from having any voice or freedom, on the basis of a complete lie.

This country cannot long survive "leaders" like the democrats.

That reminds me - Where is that wimp Roberts?

Doesn't the Constitution say that he should be presiding over this?

And didn't he swear to some little 'oath thingie' that references allegiance to 'the Constitution and laws of the United States, So help me God'???

(This isn't just a 'kangaroo court' as some have suggested. It's a comedy hour.)

I’d make those senators sit for 3 more days even if all they did was read the constitution over and over again.

I read other stories written about Thursday's presentations...One reporter stated that some GOP senators were not paying close attention to what Impeachment managers were saying...

Senator Graham stated that this "trial" could be over by Saturday...I think many GOP senators just want to vote "no" and move on...

Presidents are expected to take a ‘measured response’ when emergencies occur.

Thanks for the reminder...About how G.W. Bush and Obama behaved after certain events...

According to "unnamed sources", President Trump did not seem to be upset about what he saw on TV on January 6...

True? I don't know...I don't feel too comfortable with "unnamed sources"...

I don't think Mr. Trump was ever asked about that story...Story about him not being too concerned about rioting in the Capitol...

If he ever runs for president again, some reporter might ask him about that...

Not that my opinion matters much, or compares in any way to the presidents, but when I saw the tape of that ‘riot’, meaning the big crowd that showed up to protest The Fraud, I was DEE-LIGHTED!! Oh yes, I was. The libs had been misbehaving and burnin’ it all down all summer long.
I wanted my side to show up for the president. “About time we made a little noise!” I was thinking.
I wasn’t surprised that it was infiltrated by Antifa.

"HE'S A MONSTER, KILL THE MONSTER!"

The RAT impeachment managers screwed up but not holding pitch forks and torches. Lame pikers in the "Kill The Monster" business. Pathetic.
