Trump's 2nd impeachment is the start of a bad chapter in America
American Thinker ^ | 14 Feb, 2021 | Andrew W. Coy

The impeachment trial of Donald Trump is something Joe Stalin would be proud of. This warrantless, baseless, and clearly unconstitutional show trial of impeachment by the Progressives (Deep State, socialists, globalists) is something Stalin would do.

In America, trials are meant to ascertain facts in a neutral setting and, if necessary, meet out reasonable punishment. But in today's America, in our nation's capital, the Progressives in power used this Orwellian impeachment trial of Trump for a very different purpose with a very different planned outcome. From a biased impeachment judge, Democrat Patrick Leahy, to an impeachment manager, Eric Swalwell, who in many American minds has probably permitted espionage and possibly committed borderline treason with a Chinese spy, this trial was for show and for warning. Swalwell is the same congressman who shouted "Russia-Russia-Russia"

SNIP

To understand just how dystopian this attempted purge of "all things Trump" is, one must seriously look at how Stalin treated his rivals in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and how Mao treated his rivals during China's Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. In both cases, with Stalin and the Soviet Union as well as Mao and China, illegitimate and ruthless power was used against political opponents. It was used not just to punish rivals. Communist show trials were also used to warn potential suitors and potential power-seekers to stay away from the powers of government. Today's Progressives used time-tested communist tactics in this impeachment show trial to warn the next guy who has the power and money to seek office in his own right, without Deep State support, to never again attempt it. The unspoken but obvious meaning from this Progressive purge of Trump and the 80 million Trump voters is, "We will destroy you also, don't try this again."

...they have totally forgotten that most of this 80 million are firearm owners, military and ex-military, hunters, LEOs. And Patriots.

I am hoping that the voters send Pelosi and Schumer packing.

The Dem House managers and their media have got to stop saying this was a “bipartisan vote”, it was NOT.

A Bipartisan vote is when you have both parties voting on either side of the issue, this did not have that.

It’s like how Dems use the word compromise. To them, compromise is when 100% of the Dems vote the same way and a few Republicans buckle under and vote with them.

Criminal democrats are power-mad, and will do anything to destroy their enemies.......but this will backfire on them.

IMHO, the optics of the impeachment acquittal makes it likely that many
casual observers will conclude that Trump was cheated out of his reelection bid.

Democrats’ foolish insistence on focusing on the “reason” for Jan 6 helps reinforce opinion
that Trump won but Democrats’ cheated to deny him office.......and a lot of people were upset about it.

Liberal Dems are fanatics, committed to their causes and one of those causes is the obliteration of ANYTHING not Liberal Democrat. From a full frontal assault like impeachment part 2 to cancel culture actions and even violence in our neighborhoods, they’ll stop at nothing until the 80 million who oppose them are dead, in prison or prostrate on the ground before their leaders.

The electoral process has been formally corrupted since 1984. The “image’ of the Left as an honest political wing in the USA has been driven by the media.

Since 1984 the control of media outlets has dropped from over 50 different organizations to just 6 today. The product of that consolidation is an ILLUSION of a “powerful Left wing”, a manufactured progressive consensus that has usurped political power it has no business with honestly. “honest” votes for Biden/the Left were 30-35 million. At most.

The problems originate in corrupted, local electoral precincts in deep Blue urban centers. These NEED to be cleaned. Nobody desires the dirty job. Part of “redistricting” projects, BTW, is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.

Think parts of cities where Republicans are feared to tread. No bipartisan voting observers. If any Republican observers, or even voters show up,they are threatened. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state purple.

This article provides a glimpse into exactly this process going on in Philadelphia in 2009

https://www.heritage.org/commentary/voter-intimidation-new-black-panther-style

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more

Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout - (and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!) - is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York.

This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their RINO Governor not withstanding.

Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.

Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational with the existing perps. As the above article illustrates, it will be dangerous. But it beats the heck outta the alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train

The left has focused on corrupting our local electoral process. They focus on the deep urban centers. This process of corruption is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.

We the People have no future otherwise. These people INTEND to “rule”

The benefits of this process created the UniParty which is WHY this has been allowed to mature.

That is the subject another post.

The U.S. will not turn around from its decline until Demonicrats start to be tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Until then it’s all Republican kabuki theater.

Both parties are in cahoots. Russian collusion, the indictment and prosecution of Flynn, Mueller, all of that was supported by Republicans.

It's not just Congress. The courts are not always impartial. They can be and are tools of oppresive and abusive government action.

The executive is no better. See FBI, BATFE. Corrupt institutions.

Hitler followed the rule of law to a "T."

The demon driving the democrat’s agenda is using the spectacle for more than one purpose. It is first and foremost a purposed distraction, to get eyes and minds away from what the demon rats are doing to cancel the Constitution and our rights. It is also purposed to incite more division and even generate hate from conservatives toward democrats. It is thirdly a way to energize the demented base of the demon rat party.

Re post 12.

The election process has been corrupted since 1960. That's the only thing you are wrong about.

The media is the all-too-powerful voice of the enemy. The media needs to be muzzled, its voice squelched and its owners...the true enemies of our republic must be found, investigated and if found guilty of any misconduct (and, oh, what misconduct they are guilty of),must be stripped of all wealth, stripped of all holdings, tried criminally for sedition, executed if found guilty and their families must have their US citizenship revoked.

For starters...
