Rep. Tlaib was handed the microphone at a celebration about the Democrats taking over the House at a reception thrown by the leftist group MoveOn.org. Long-term political junkies will recall that MoveOn.org was created to stop the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. The group urged that the country should “move on” from Bill and Hillary Clinton’s dozens of felonies in the 1990s (like selling nuclear missile guidance technology to China in return for millions of dollars of illegal foreign campaign contributions) and focus on the nation’s important issues. Al Gore famously held a fund-raiser at a temple for monks sworn to poverty, clearly strawmen for money illegally donated from China. MoveOn.org argued that we should focus on the nation’s problems, not the Clintons’ and Al Gore’s crime spree. Yet on Thursday the MoveOn.org crowd roared approval Thursday night for talk of impeaching Trump.

Democrat leaders know better. They know it will be disastrous for their party. They know it will probably cost them the 2020 elections, both presidential and congressional. But the Democrats just can’t help themselves. It will be like daring a teenage boy to jump off the roof into an above-ground swimming pool. The Leftist activists will demand it. And Democrats just really want to down deep.

They can’t escape the fact that Democrats filed for impeachment before any report or results from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. So how credible can their claims be? Sherman and Green first filed their Articles of Impeachment in June 2017.

The grounds for impeachment Sherman and Green argue is that Donald Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey. The evidence keeps growing that Comey deserved to be fired. The only wrong is that Trump did not fire Comey on day one.

“Democrat leaders know better. They know it will be disastrous for their party”

No they don’t. They will impeach. Clinton benefited because the MSM went all out to help him. This time they will do much of the heavy lifting for the Rats. It will be the reverse of what happened to slick willie

“Democrats were just as convinced that Ronald Reagan was an illegitimate President because Reagan stole the 1980 election.”

Any time a Republican becomes President it’s “a stolen election.” In reality, it’s more like a miracle that a Republican has been able to overcome the DemoRAT election theft machine and win! Every so often, a man like a Reagan or a Trump comes along and the RAT vote stealing/ballot box stuffing/ vote harvesting isn’t enough to win. And don’t get me going on the gerrymandering they engage in to keep control of the House. If you doubt that assertion, go look at the districting map of Cook County, Illinois.

“Games: Now It Begins”

Same game, fear mongering to gather money and votes.

But they are preaching to the same choir.

Few new members unless some law-breaking happened.

If there was any, it would have leaked out by now.

Nothing new here, let ‘em talk. Hopefully this will further sink CNN.

Government shutdown will be nothing compared to the “impeachment” follies soon to come, each Demo-idiot to get up and give an hour or two of a ranting speech saying absolutely nothing.

I like the caller on Rush yesterday (Friday) who said PDJT should challenge them to do impeachment now, then, he should bring all the facts about Obama and what laws he broke and what things he should have been impeached on...I think PDJT is keeping his powder dry...time has not yet arrived to release the Kraken.

Insanity is not only alive and well in the Democrat Schumer/Pelosi House & Senate Caucus, but that insanity is so severe, it will certainly politically destroy the Democrat Party over the next two years for sure. There are no leaders in the Democrat Party...not one!!!

There have been no leaders, since Obama became POTUS, just thugs, goons & America Haters!!! After observing the Democrat chaos on Pelosi’s “crowning day” of lunacy...this game is over and POTUS, Donald J. Trump wins, hands down.

If Schumer & Pelosi have any brains at all...which they don’t...they would immediately give POTUS, Trump his requested $5.7 Billion Bucks to go forward and build the Border Wall. If not, bad days are ahead for anyone with a “D” after their name. Fact is: Schumer is a joke, Pelosi is a joke...whoops...the entire Democrat Party is a joke...they are no true adults in the room folks!!!

“Rep. Tlaib was handed the microphone...”

Knowing Trump, he probably PAID for that microphone.

Comey gave classified info to his civilian buddy, by his own admission.

How these two are able to avoid being arrested and convicted is beyond me.

Trump isn’t timing anything. He’s trying to save off disaster. Who on earth would want to be POTUS the day everything went hot? The problem is that the Dems are not rational or logical. They are in scorched earth mode NO MATTER WHAT TRUMP DOES. They have the media to spin for them and otherwise no fear or inhibition PERIOD. Add in RINOS who will vote against Trump if given sufficient cover and there is 2019 in a nutshell. Those of us who are still ambulatory will be out in the streets before 2019 closes.

This article points out a very interesting parallel between the Trump/Russia collusion meme and the Reagan/Iran collusion meme of the early 1980s.

The argument is basically the same one, recycled: the Republican candidate could not possibly have beaten the Democrat candidate fair and square, so it must have been collusion - Reagan stole the 1980 election by colluding with Iran to make Carter look weak re the hostages. Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia to make Clinton look bad via Wikileaks re the email scandal...

Neither narrative holds up under scrutiny, because both were entirely fabricated propaganda operations.

I think the current version of this recycled Democrat/MSM propaganda operation will have about as much effect on Trump as it did on Reagan, who not only held on to his Presidency, but was reelected by the second biggest electoral landslide in US history.

I believe there was an earlier example of this recycled Democrat/MSM ploy, namely, Watergate.

Why were they successful in driving Nixon to resign? I believe it was because Nixon failed to develop enough of a personal rapport with his supporters to weather the storm of propaganda unleashed on him. Nixon had just won reelection in the biggest electoral landslide in US history, yet the MSM was able to turn the public against him. In his memoirs, Nixon suggested that making his case before the American people would have damaged the institution of the Presidency - so, much like a relatively innocent man might shoulder the blame for a divorce, rather than exposing the children to an ugly battle that would disillusion them regarding the institution of marriage, he chose to resign rather than damage the Office of Presidency.

Something tells me Trump won’t fall for that kind of baloney.

Trump doesn't need this job for a second term. He should just go out in style... declassify EVERYTHING... destroy the Dems and the GOPe all in one shot.

Screw it... he can't beat this establishment... no one can, it's too corrupt. Expose it all and let the chips fall where they may.
