Impeaching Trump (Moonbat Derangement Alert)
Huffington Post ^ | 01/01/2017 | Robert Kuttner

Posted on 01/01/2017 10:52:07 PM PST by goldstategop

Trump is far more of a menace than Nixon. Trump will commit impeachable offenses. There is no way to contain him other than removing him from office, before the damage to our democracy is irrevocable. The process of building the impeachment case needs to begin now.

One of the best analyses of their thought process (such as it is) that I’ve seen.

They have been inculcated over 30 years in a bogus meme about Democratic Process. This is supposed to mean that a loud plurality backed by oligarch funds gets their way.

They are proposing a People’s Impeachment. Like a Citizen’s Arrest, I guess or perhaps like the Citizen Investigation currently going on about trafficking in children, guns, drugs and money by a criminal oligarchical elite.

Note that they are trying to punish the Citizen Investigators because the target is leftist icons.

They want to do an end run around any Constitutional process. They do not care about normal impeachment. They are advocating a Civil War action.

Oh I disagree

Their fear is that Trump will be far more successful than Obama and will move the agenda 30 years back from where they have pushed it. They fear that the overwhelming majority of republican control under the leadership of Trump will embolden voters enough to reject the crap we have been taking for the past 30 yrs.


This!

Since the HuffPoo is calling for a coup/overthrow, what action can be taken against any Democrat who advances the action?

This isn’t about “high crimes and misdemeanors”, this is about paranoia and hysteria about a perceived threat in the absence of any violation.

And the call for impeachment is coming before he is sworn in AND from a minority position in the house and senate. The Left’s only power is in the editorial offices of The Press and the boardrooms of Twitter, Facebook, and Google...

I have a feeling civil war is not needed. That Trump has some plan to effectively deal with all libtardian issues.

He seems to be building a qualified effective cabinet, that also appear to be loyal.

He’s found a way to bypass the media via twitter.

We all just gotta give the guy a chance to actually take office and get plans in motion.

On the other hand, if the libs start anything violent, they will be crushed.

I've been thinking the same thing. They've been emboldened by the success of their "president-select" jibes at W, and managed to convince an entire generation of voters that a Republican presidency can't ever be legitimate. They wanted to remove GHW Bush over the "brought to light" scandal and a moonbat conspiracy theory that Bush negotiated with Iran in 1980 to hold the hostages and keep Carter from winning re-election.

They tried to remove Reagan from office in 1986.

They successfully ran Richard Nixon out of office in the 70s.

They successfully stole the 1960 election from Nixon.

I don't have the familiarity with the Democrat (and Communist) opposition to Eisenhower in 1952-61 to know what efforts they made to get him out of office. I do know that "McCarthyism" was used as a pejorative to attack a long running investigation into Soviet influence in US politics. The House Committee On Un-American Activities dated back to the 30s and lasted at least into the 1960s. And the Soviets did have agents and turncoats working on behalf of a foreign power within our government.

The Left has not believed in peaceful transfer of power to the Republicans for over half a century. They have only been a few transfers of control of House and Senate to the Republicans and they howled and even negotiated to get RINOs to switch to the Rat party.

Sometimes we need to be reminded that the collective intellect of the left is equivalent to that of a used dildo.

This is not the NIXON era.

As long as Republicans control congress, impeachment is just a wet dream for the left.

The more extreme they get, the less likely they are to win over middle America. So it does my heart good to see them toss off the cloak of civility and go all out in attempting to demonize Trump and his supporters.

The Democratic Party is truly a criminal enterprise... their ends justify their means.

Very sad for those caught up in the stupidity

Orwellian Much?



 

 
 
 

Party ownership of the print media
made it easy to manipulate public opinion,
and the film and radio carried the process further.


 



16. Ministry Of Truth

.......

The Ministry of Truth, Winston's place of work, contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below.

The Ministry of Truth concerned itself with Lies. Party ownership of the print media made it easy to manipulate public opinion, and the film and radio carried the process further.

The primary job of the Ministry of Truth was to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels - with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary.

Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one. This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs - to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.

When his day's work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. He dialed 'back numbers' on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of The Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes' delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to rectify.

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages; to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and on the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the tubes led, he did not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.

In the cubicle next to him the little woman with sandy hair toiled day in day out, simply at tracking down and deleting from the Press the names of people who had been vaporized and were therefore considered never to have existed. And this hall, with its fifty workers or thereabouts, was only one-sub-section, a single cell, as it were, in the huge complexity of the Records Department. Beyond, above, below, were other swarms of workers engaged in an unimaginable multitude of jobs.

There were huge printing-shops and their sub editors, their typography experts, and their elaborately equipped studios for the faking of photographs. There was the tele-programmes section with its engineers, its producers and its teams of actors specially chosen for their skill in imitating voices; clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall; vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored; and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed.

And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.

Emoluments Clause?

Bwahahaha

Donors and re-gifters from all corners of the globe to the Grifter in Chief and Granny Bobblehead should have not only disqualified them
from high office but landed them in the stony lonesome

LOL! If anyone knows the best lawyers/advisers possible, it’s Trump. His decisions will be legally sound.

With his commingling of his official duties and his personal enrichment, Trump will be in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which unambiguously prohibits any person holding public office from profiting from gifts or financial benefits from “any king, prince or Foreign state.”

As for HRC...

And the Soviets did have agents and turncoats working on behalf of a foreign power within our government.

And what we are seeing now, with the non-stop hysterical propaganda and baseless calls for impeachment is the fruit of that Soviet effort. The Soviets infiltrated our education system, media, and entertainment industries. Their influence was not negated when the USSR fell--their useful idiots are all too happy to continue to carry the torch.

It is somewhat ironic now that it is the students of Soviet indoctrination who are now calling for and trying to provoke war with Russia.
