Democrats Just Overplayed Their Hand

The democrats are in a fight for their lives. Trump is fully aware of the democrats illegal activities. And they know that he knows. They also realize he will not be complicit with the current way of doing business in Washington, which is using the American people to enrich the politicians. He has promised to clean up the swamp, and their greatest fear is that he may actually follow through. They had to make up lies to try to eliminate him. Their very survival is at stake. Their next plot may be pure desperation. Gauging from the impeachment fiasco, they are stupid. And together with their desperation, dangerous.

“I didn’t watch the SOTU speech so I didn’t know that the last surviving Tuskeegee Airman was honored.

Hearing that the Democrats “sat for that” is appalling. I can’t think of a better way to show their pettiness and small-mindedness. That shouldn’t be a partisan moment.”

Agreed 100%. But it was also the perfect thing to do - if, that is, you were trying to lose Black votes. If nothing else, it demonstrates how much the Dems take the Black vote for granted - which, if I were Black, I would consider grossly insulting. As it is, I am Jewish and I find the Dem’s assumptions about Jews to be grossly insulting.

This illustrates the beauty of our Federal system, as well as the notion of independent nation states, being capable of COMPARISON. We now have the Deep State weak enough to serve as an anti-viral innoculation. Had Hillary been elected, it would be civil war by now. But presently we get to watch the Democrats attempt to unleash their master plan in a petri dish minus the necessary logistic and control infrastructure. Being blind and suffering terminal dementia, they will never see this. We can taunt and wave the red cape to their enraged bull as much as we want and they will charge again and again until the sword plunges between their shoulder blades and they end up on the cosmic BBQ grill in the sky or the dustbin of history, pick your metaphor.

I love the 6 Phases of a Project! So true.

I’ve heard several times about how many senators “privately loathe the President”. That’s what worried me about the acquittal vote - that they’d use any excuse to get rid of him.

Thank goodness there was not a secret ballot; or Romney would have had a lot more company IMHO. -Tom

Wonder why bammy isn’t backing Biden? If he was “good enough” for the VP...why not help him out now?

One theory is that it's the Deep Left's secret plan to bugger up the primary so badly, that the Dems are forced to go to a brokered convention in the Fall.

At that point, Michelle Obama swoops in to save the day, and instantly unites the party under one umbrella they're all comfortable with.

If Hussein had any real strategic cunning, he'd go ahead and endorse Slow Joe to throw everyone off the scent.

You can search YouTube for "2020 State of The Union Speech" and see the whole thing.

I highly recommend you do. It was the best SOTU speech I've ever seen.

I highly recommend you do. It was the best SOTU speech I've ever seen.

I agree. I watched it live on CSPAN online.

“He’s like a number of FReepers who criticize Trump the instant he does something differently than how they would have him do it.”

There are some like that, I’ve been here a long time and I’m not going to say whether I ever was one but I don’t think so. At any rate when I am tempted to disagree with the Donald now I take it as an indication to carefully rethink my own position. Too often I have thought, “Now why did he ever do that?” and then realized that he was six steps ahead of me.

Obama is currently appearing in Bloomberg TV ads in Florida.

“Articles Of Impeachment (Packet#2) will hit the Senate in 3 to 6 Months.” - samtheman

Maybe. But in 6 months we’ll be close to the election and I suspect the Democrats are going to realize that their stunts have cost them the House and they will be in full panic mode and not know which way to turn.

Six months will be August. Is the Senate gonna take up another impeachment trial in August of an election year? I doubt it; as I understand it there have been impeachment articles delivered to the Senate which were never considered by the Senate. And I also know that Senate Rules can be modified at other times than at the start of a Congress. Certainly “Reid’s Rule” which busted the judicial filibuster was instituted in mid-term . . .

IMHO the Senate must change its rules to avoid having to take up another impeachment, whether the House creates one or not. They can make up a nice “neutral” rule like allowing such to be killed by filibuster.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I believe that Leader McConnell already informed the Democrats what's going to happen next time.

I didn’t pick that up. I strongly believe the Senate majority should put the kibosh on any notion of taking up another impeachment in this Congress. What did McConnell say?

[txnativegop]

I expect new Articles in a matter weeks, because of the lack of quality Presidential candidates. The Dems have to do something to get their base fired up.
