As the father of two girls, ages two and three, I’ve gotten used to little kids freaking out over the most basic of things. The announcement of bedtime never fails to elicit complaints and desperate bargaining for staying up longer, for example. Those freak outs are normal and what you’d expect from children, but on Saturday we got the same reaction from adults over the foregone conclusion of the second failed impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
Why anyone was surprised by the failure is a mystery. It was a long-telegraphed punch; it was like re-watching the Super Bowl on your DVR a week later and betting on Kansas City again. There was no way Trump was guilty of inciting a riot, as Democrats charged, so much so that they barely attempted to make that case. They spent most of their time accusing him of not doing enough to stop it after it started, that he was derelict in his duty as President of the United States, but that wasn’t an article of impeachment.
Maybe Democrats rushing impeachment through the House wasn’t the smartest strategy. Nancy Pelosi wanted to get it done quickly, then took her time. In the time she did take she skipped the part where the House held any hearings whatsoever.
Democrats were in such a hurry, and so full of rage, that they simply didn’t care that they didn’t build a case, they just declared one. Everyone watching could see it. That there wasn’t a case to build didn’t help, but of all the options they could have lined up behind, inciting a riot was the weakest by a long shot. But it was also the easiest to explain to the public, so the took it.
Then, as if to put a fine point on the fact that they didn’t have a case, Democrats took their sweet time delivering the one article to the Senate. That pushed the trial date past the end of Trump’s presidency. Even if more Republicans wanted to convict on a weak, nonsensical charge, trying a former president in the Senate is obviously not constitutional.
We’ll never know how many votes delay for vanity and public relations purposes cost Democrats, but judging by the statements released after the acquittal, the number is greater than zero.
That being said, it doesn’t matter. There was no case to make for any of the garbage Democrats flung at the wall. But the reaction of the elites to the trial and verdict was a temper tantrum for the ages.
Keith Olbermann (remember him?) took off his PJs for the first time in a year, strolled out to his balcony to record a video rant which only served to remind a public disinterested in his thoughts that he still thinks he has some. “THE GOP DECLARED WAR ON AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,” he tweeted in all-caps, letting the world know he was serious.
MSNBC’s “conservative” Nicolle Wallace hyperventilated, “I thought this was some of the most airtight evidence. They literally put the Constitution up, which is a Republican schtick.” She’s as loyal to the Constitution as she is to conservative principles and her first husband.
The Washington Post was upset that senators weren’t paying close attention to every belch and drool from each Democrat House manager. “They doodled. They nodded off. They kicked their feet up. They giggled. They tapped their fingers impatiently. They passed notes,” the Post reported. “This wasn’t the conduct of high school teenagers, but rather U.S. senators during an impeachment trial intended to hold accountable former president Donald Trump.” The poor dears.
Post bridge troll Jennifer Rubin, maintaining her streak of being wrong about everything and still thinking screaming it to the world is a good idea, declared, “House managers utterly vindicated. They got every vote possible.”
George Conway, still stinging from the demise of The Lincoln Project, demonstrated why he’s not going to win any parenting awards anytime soon, said, “I guess it's time to face facts. Neither the Constitution's impeachment mechanism (except for federal judges) nor section 4 of the 25th Amendment (except perhaps for comas) really works.”
These are just a few examples of adults, highly paid professionals, acting like children upset that it’s bedtime or denied a toy they wanted. Whether or not they’re truly shocked or upset is something only each individual can know. But it is time to put the Trump Derangement Syndrome to bed, after a diaper change, or course.
The left is devoid of common sense, can’t handle facts and run on emotion.
Their response to the aquital was exactly as expected.
They voted in the Senate. The Dems lost that vote.
There were no dead senators voting. There were no absentee ballots. There were no mail-in ballots. There was no voter-impersonation fraud. There was no use of Dominion voting systems or tabulators. There was a transparent vote, and the Dems lost.
Why then are they complaining about the results of this free and fair vote?
BLUE MONDAY FOR BIDEN You'd think the 81 million people who "voted" for the Alleged President would be celebrating
in all those states and counties that went 100% for Biden. They got their guy in the WH by hook or crook....mostly by crook.
(h/t Be Free) The Senate conducted a transparent vote. The Dems lost. They're not use to voting in cases where:
<><> There were no dead senators voting.
<><> There were no absentee ballots.
<><> There were no mail-in ballots.
<><> There was no voter-impersonation fraud.
<><> There was no multi-million dollar electronic voting systems.
Convicting President Trump in the House was never the point of this Kabuki performance. It is my opinion that the Democrats and their friends in the know this.
This second impeachment is no different then the first which is to marginalize President Trump and his supporters.
Have you notice the term “racist” is not used so much anymore, the left has changed it to “white supremacist” (the same they had to change Global Warming to Climate Change).
White Supremacist (like many words used by the left) does not mean what you are I think it means. To the left White Supremacist is white culture going all the way back to the Greeks.
So with this in mind, the second impeachment was a success.
There are no adults in the room. Just like toddlers throwing a temper tantrum because they were pushed past the toy aisle.
