I’m reading on other conservative web sites (Dave Hodges) that info is leaking from El Chappo’s court testimony that there are many in DC who have been getting paid millions from Mexican drug cartels to keep the border open. El Chappo supposedly named many and they are all high level democrats. If true, that makes sense why Pilosi, Shift, Schmucky and others are now fighting to keep the border open, open for successful drug cartel business.

Clearly ... there have been major abuses of power, major obstruction of justice, obvious violations of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution," he [Nadler] said. "All of these have to be looked at."

This Emoluments Clause stuff is clever in taking an obscure clause and just pounding on it as if Nadler and the RATS uncovered a deep Trumpian plot to enrich himself right under the noses of the America public. Then cleverness meets the reality of a President who donates his salary every quarter, has a smaller staff and payroll than his predecessor, and reached into his own pocket for a few thousand bucks worth of fast food for Clemson's White House visit making Formerly Fat Gerry, who fleeced the taxpayers for his bariatric surgery, and the other RATS look look like idiots grasping desperately to pin something, anything on the President.

Nadler has a little publicized unfortunate birth defect: his brain was transposed with his rear end. Anyone standing close to him is sure to detect little bursts of foul oral odor accompanied by a squealing sound passing for speech.

And they were right. Lincoln killed 750,000 people, and in the process created this monster federal leviathan that is eating out our substance today.

Most destructive president in American History.

Maybe, Fatso, but he is the greatest protector of our Republic.

Talk about being confused: I’m southern but the southern States were democrats and tried to keep slavery alive but I ain’t a liberal to be a democrat.

We've all been lied to. Abraham Lincoln promoted an Amendment to the Constitution to protect slavery.

The claim that the war was about slavery was after the fact justification for the bloodshed and destruction. The real goal of the war was to protect the financial interests of Wealthy Northerners by preventing the South from having direct Trade with Europe.

The Republicans of the 1850's and 1860's were the wild eye liberals and some of them were even abolitionist terrorists. The two sides have switched.

Sez Mr. Wild Eyed himself ...

How's the plan to break up the country coming along?

The economic system of the Democrat States depends on the labor of slaves.

In our current world:
"The economic system of the Democrat States depends on the VOTE OF INTELLECTUAL slaves.

The same southern culture that opposed Lincoln, is the one who put Trump in office and saved America.

Ri-ight.

Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania = Cotton Belt Heart of Dixie.

What state is Donald Trump from, anyway?

And how did Virginia vote last time?

First of all, Nadler's ignorance of the real history of the American Republic is astounding, brainwashed as he is in Progressive ideology!

The time may have come for a rejection of the tired old ideas of tyranny which dominate so-called "progressive" politics of 2019-2020.

Rather than being dispirited, we might examine what the Founders of the American Republic called, the role of "Divine Providence," whose pathway to the minds and hearts of youth can bypass even the most ardent and determined efforts of those so-called "progressives."

Now that "progressive/socialistic" politicians have captured their attention, these Republicans, who have called themselves "conservatives," have some responsibility for directing attention of youth to the ideas of the Founders, all to be found online now, not in some dark stacks on remote floors of university libraries.

For instance, the Sons of Liberty portrayal of Samuel Adams might allow these "Republican leaders" to introduce to Millenials his clearly-articulated understanding of liberty versus tyranny, as well as Adams clear understanding of the dangers of something he called "leveling"--today's "progressive" idea of "equalizing."

"The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv'd them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas'd them for us with toil and danger and expence of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the latter we are in most danger at present: Let us therefore be aware of it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to maintain the rights bequeath'd to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. - Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that "if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom." It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." Samuel Adams - Essay in the Boston Gazette, October 14, 1771

"When designs are form'd to raze the very foundation of a free government, those few who are to erect their grandeur and fortunes upon the general ruin, will employ every art to sooth the devoted people into a state of indolence, inattention and security, which is forever the fore-runner of slavery." - Article signed "Candidus," in Boston Gazette, December 9, 1771

"If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them." Samuel Adams- As Candidus in the Boston Gazette, January 20, 1772

"The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave... These may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." Samuel Adams - Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772

"It is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave." - The Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772

"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams

And, as it pertains to Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez/Democrat "free stuff schemes":

“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams

Congress deep Nadler must be looking at his own reflection in the mirror.

He and that cabal he stands with are a threat to our national security.Its time to do a thorough background check on all of these socialist nazi politicians.

Let’s turn the magnifying glass on them for a change.

There are many among the common people who were democrat voters now supporting Trump.

Conservative vs liberal is the pretend game you’ve been forced to play by those who keep you, and me, in another kind of slavery.

The real war is between the elites and the common man.

How have they been voting previously? Seems like every Democrat President wins with these northern states you mentioned.
