Schiff: 'Our democracy is under threat' from Trump, Russia
The Hill ^ | November 7, 2017 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 11/07/2017 10:40:55 AM PST by jazusamo

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday told The Associated Press that Russia and some of President Trump’s policies are a threat to American democracy.

While Russia poses an external threat, “in many respects, the challenge from within is more serious because we have a president who takes issue with the First Amendment and a president who describes the press as the enemy of the people,” Schiff said.

He also cited Trump’s criticism of judges who rule against him and his efforts to limit immigration from Muslim-majority countries as threats to democracy, adding that Trump is attempting to undermine the ongoing probes into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Weight for weight, barn owls consume more rodents—often regarded as pests by humans—than possibly any other creature.

“This makes the barn owl one of the most economically valuable wildlife animals for agriculture. Farmers often find these owls more effective than poison in keeping down rodent pests, and they often encourage barn owl habitation by providing nest sites.”

Unlike nutty Congressthings like Adam Schiff, barn owls perform an important function for humans. Please don’t be insulting to them.

This clown is a real loon. I always look into people’s eyes. Mrs. Schiff’s little Adam has those Norman Bates eyes. He gives me the creeps. IMHO, the boy ain’t right. I hope he’s on some of the FBI’s lists. He should definitely not be allowed to buy a firearm.

You may have gotten that version from an expression from way back which goes

“Hornier than a hoot owl”

I mean, who says `horny’ anymore as a reference to wanting sex?

I fully agree with your assessment of that little weasel.

The only time the perverts known as Democrats use a “radio active” response is when it became clear they were Trumped. Then his impeachment was the only way to go. That’s when they started mining cash from Putin’s uranium holdings . Cause if Hillary goes down and to the slammer Putin’s $$$$$$$$ goes goodbye..

No, Schiff...you and your traitorous ilk are a threat to the Republic.

Which is precisely why Schiff is under threat by President Trump.

Schiff is a corrupt weasel with no honor or dignity about him. He is thoroughly disreputable. His opinion is not worthy of serious consideration. Look for his indictment for criminal activity within months.

What that study does not get is that we did not like Trump to begin with....we wanted a bully, tough man to clean up the mess. Nobody likes the man that takes everyone out, it is not his job to be liked. Ask me if I like Trump, no. Ask me if I agree with the job he is doing over all....HECK YES!

I loved Regan, he was the right man for the job at the time. Trump is probably the only man at this time, who could have dealt with the mess the globalist of both parties have treasonously given us....assuming what I think is coming happens.

“in many respects, the challenge from within is more serious because we have a president who takes issue with the First Amendment and a president who describes the press as the enemy of the people,” Schiff said.


The problem with his argument is Trump is correct about the MSM. That is who is comment was directed at.

I’m not going to say he doesn’t get the Left’s views in too, in other episodes. He may even have a few in this one. As for the Democracy vs Republic issue, this one is pretty good.

Loosely, I think it also touches on the PC Climate gripping the nation right now. It pretty well exposes group-think for the danger it is.

I’m on the episode now where the two male aliens on the ship have a female baby and want an operation right away to try to change her to a male. It was funny listening to liberals argue on the show against their own talking points in real life.

There are a couple of episodes I’m not in sync with.

That being one of them.

We’re talking about a different species. Our species has male and female people.

Of course later in the show, they reveal they have women too.

Of course they’ve sex changed all the women to be men.

I can’t believe there wasn’t a cringe across the nation we could hear out loud. Imagine sex changing every women.

Ouch!
