For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the very notion that President Donald Trump could be deserving of impeachment seemed "laughable" After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was "laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense." "If this is the 'launching point' for House Democrats' impeachment process, they've already overplayed their hand," the Senate Majority Leader said.

Adam Schiff said some very ugly and incorrect things today at the hearing…..trying to create some creepy soundbites for CNN and the rest of the scum MEDIA. Below are tweets concerning his attempt to cover his sorry *ss over his lying comments in his opening statement._________________________ Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) Adam Schiff tries to clarify his fake account of President Trump’s call to Ukraine during his opening statement, says it was “parody.” **** Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) WATCH Adam Schiff claim to be using "parody" to facilitate his LIES about @realDonaldTrump.

They think anytime a Republican is elected president, there must have been something 'illegitimate' going on. But: He was elected. And, contrary to the endless litany of Democratic complaints, he was legitimately elected. You may not like the way we elect presidents through the Electoral College — I do; if anything, I think the Founders erred on the side of making the presidency excessively democratic in character, with the disastrous results we see before us today — but the Electoral College was not invented in 2016, and it was not created to frustrate the ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Some...

Every single member of the Democrat conference in the House of Representatives who voted on Wednesday went on the record backing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s extraordinary move earlier this week to open an impeachment inquiry via press conference, effectively confirming it is the sense of all 231 of them who voted with Pelosi that they intend to support impeaching President Donald Trump. “The battle lines are drawn,” a senior House GOP aide directly involved in the effort to expose Democrats on the floor with recorded votes told Breitbart News on Wednesday evening. “We now know where every member of the...

Senate Republicans are vowing to quickly quash any articles of impeachment that pass the House and warn that Democrats will feel a political backlash if they go forward and impeach President Trump. Republican senators say there are no grounds to impeach Trump and are daring Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to embark on what they dismiss as a fool’s errand that will turn off swing voters. “My response to them is go hard or go home,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction over impeachment. “If you want to impeach him, stop talking....

1. December 2018: Napolitano claimed that Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, had implicated him in a “felony.” (The Southern District of New York investigated and declined to initiate any further prosecutions.) 2. January 2019: Napolitano told Shepard Smith that Mueller would be able to show “collusion” and “conspiracy” because “the campaign had a connection to Russian intelligence.” The Mueller report found no collusion. 3. February 2019: Napolitano claimed that a phone call by the president to Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker was “obstruction of justice.” Mueller’s report, released a month later, did not allege any obstruction. 4. April 2019: Napolitano...

The Washington Post reported Tuesday afternoon that Pelosi would announce a formal impeachment inquiry after meeting with Democratic lawmakers.

Stocks traded lower on Tuesday, giving back earlier gains after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will make an announcement on possibly impeaching President Donald Trump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 200 points, or 0.7% after gaining more than 100 points. The S&P 500 fell nearly 1% while the Nasdaq Composite pulled back 1.5%.

A slew of swig state democrats Monday threw their support behind impeachment.

Fresh calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump will move a step closer on Tuesday as House Democrats head into a closed-door meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi at 4pm. Democrats themselves remained divided on moving forward with an effort to impeach Trump. Pelosi has resisted calls for impeachment and is sticking with her position that Congress must not start formal proceedings unless the American public demands it. However, Pelosi and her leadership team on the various oversight committees are considering bringing forward a resolution that will put the House on record on this matter, according to a Democratic leadership...

A top Democratic official in Alabama has said that one of his party's U.S. senators in the state "is a racist" and accused him of marginalizing black party members and wanting them "to pick the cotton" but not "manage the plantation." The Democratic National Committee's Black Caucus Vice Chairman Randy Kelley, who is black, blasted Doug Jones, who is white, and his allies in the DNC for pressuring African Americans to increase the representation of Hispanic, Asian, youth, gay, and disabled party members in a new "Diversity Caucus," a move he argues would reduce the influence of black Democrats. Kelley...

With all the problems in the world, Democratic presidential candidates are focusing on — meat. During a climate change forum hosted by MSNBC on Thursday, longshot candidate Andrew Yang was asked by an audience member about “what policy adjustments” he’d make to “curb expansion and reduce the environmental impact of the cattle industry” in order to “reduce demand.” “Cattle is very energy-consuming and energy-expensive. And if you project forward on what we would need to do to reduce emissions, you would want to modify Americans’ diets over time,” Yang said.

Friday on WABC’s “Eyewitness News at Noon,” Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio said President Donald Trump might have committed “an act of treason,” referring to recent reports on a whistleblower’s complaint involving Trump’s communications with a foreign leader. Responding to Trump’s tweet about his dropping out of the presidential race, de Blasio said, “This is classic Donald Trump, you know, bait and switch. He is this morning staring down the fact that he may have committed an act of treason. You know, a whistleblower has come out, pointed out our president might have been ready to sell...

And though mega attention is focused on the Trudeau photo TIME dragged out of obscurity, that’s also Justin Trudeau pictured with his pants down and fly open from a February, 1992 Montreal Gazette story, headlined the ‘Buttony doo-dah’.

The mainstream media chorus turned on their Democrat allies over the questioning of Corey Lewandowski by Chairman Nadler’s House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The breadth and depth of the rare media attack on Democrats needs explanation.

House Democrats remain divided on impeachment, with only 175 out of the party’s 235 U.S. Representatives willing to vote for ousting President Donald Trump, according to a Wednesday report citing Capitol Hill insiders. Politico’s morning Playbook pegs the current whip count at 43 votes shy of the 218 needed to start the impeachment process: “Right now, Democratic insiders say 175 of their members would vote for impeachment today on the House floor,” write authors Anna Palmer and Jake Sherman.

Corey Lewandowski jumped to President Trump's defense on Tuesday during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, blasting "Trump haters" and making it clear he will not answer questions the White House wants him to avoid. Lewandowski, a former campaign aide to Trump who is close to the White House, took aim at Democrats and former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in his opening statement, describing the probes as "harassment" while alleging that some critics sought to bring down the president. "Sadly, the country spent over three years and 40 million taxpayer dollars on these investigations. It is now clear...

Joe Biden once again took the germ of a good idea — and botched it by reductioing his own absurdum. ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis challenged Biden on his criminal justice reform plans to release inmates convicted of drug use, referring to criticisms from Cory Booker that Biden’s plan won’t go far enough. Oh yeah, Biden seemed to say? He began expanding his vision of reform until it reached the stage where “nobody should be in jail for a nonviolent crime.”

The Democrat primary has devolved into an extremism arms race to see who can adopt the most radical position. Last week’s winner, despite steep competition, was Elizabeth Warren, who tweeted out, “On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands.  And I will ban fracking — everywhere.”  Sundance covered ten negative effects of this action at Conservative Treehouse.  The bottom line is that it would take a sledgehammer to the U.S. economy while tipping the geopolitical map in favor of...
