[Now that the impeachment kabuki has ended, the Senate trial will begin.  But before that can proceed, Pelosi will try to squeeze some more preconditions out of McConnell before forwarding the House’s articles of impeachment.  The cynical humor of the whole process goes on with Democrats continuing to accuse Republicans of unfairness along every step of the way, paying no never mind to having conducted the most blatantly partisan, unfair, and corrupt congressional circus in Congress’s long history.  But the real story is again the ever-widening chasm between what now clearly are two Americas attempting to share the same government and territory while holding diametrically opposite worldviews and objectives.  gjr]

    Trump once again demonstrated his childish immaturity going after a late Congressman from Michigan. His targets was the late Democrat John Dingell, who represented Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1955-2015. Trump suggested that Dingell was in hell when he said “”Maybe he’s looking up,” Trump said, intimating that Dingell ended up in hell
    The congressman’s widow, Rep. Debbie Dingell, tweeted, “Mr. President, let’s set politics aside. My husband earned all his accolades after a lifetime of service. I’m preparing for the first holiday season without the man I love. You brought me down in a way you can never imagine, and your hurtful words just made my healing much harder.”

    ,,,Sorry TwinkleLights,,,you are still confused about the process…
    The House is akin to the DA,,,they get together to decide if there is a case to be made
    ,,,THEN,,,when the trial starts in the Senate is where witnesses are called,,,oh right Conservos don’t want to call any witnesses…
    I guess Conservos don’t want any witnesses to be called because the could call Jesus himself
    but the Whitleblower is protected…
    ,,,One thing that has not been mentioned much is that Mueller left the ”’obstruction”’ issue open…
    and that is exactly what the Demo did in their articles of impeachment,,,left the language open…
    so get ready for all kinds of witnesses to be called regarding the Mueller obstruction questions…
    oh that’s right,,,Conservo Senators want to call ZERO witnesses
    Gosh,,,I wonder why???
    Guilty is as guilty acts and guilty does!!!

    Fuzznardo, Fuzznardo.
    Time will tell, Fuzznardo, time will tell. The whistleblower? You make me laugh. The whistleblower is protected from retaliation, as should be. But, he is not a statutory employee. We will see.
    Witnesses? Let’s see. The Judiciary Committee (majority) called in 3 scholarly lawyers, the R’s were allowed one. They asked for two, but were denied. Then the Judiciary Committee called in staff lawyers to argue with a Republican staff lawyer. Not one witness, ROFLMAO. Then they wrote up the articles of impeachment. How cool is that.
    No worries. The Spin is set for 2020. Thr R’s are engaged in a cover up and are trying to HIDE something. Trump is going to interfere in another election just like he did in 2016!, The 2020 election victory for Trump is already declared Illegitimate in advance!!
    Spin, spin, spin. Trump committed Obstruction of Congress by exercising his lawful option of Executive Privledge and both parties are addressing their grievance through the courts. The issue is working its way through the courts as we speak. Something to do with when Congress and the Executive Branch are in conflict, the courts are the arbiter of such conflicts. The 3rd branch of government and all that stuff. The conflict and tension between the Legislative and Executive Branches of government as designed in the Constitution.
    But, nooo. The Leftinistas don’t like those rules. No way, Jose. Maybe Chief Justice Roberts will force Bolton to appear. It’s the Unhinged Mob’s only hope!!!! Save us Justice Roberts, save us from our mistakes!
    The Dems should have resolved all this BEFORE drawing up the Articles of Impeachment. But, nooooo. They just could not help themselves and now demand a second chance do over, lol. Sorry, it don’t work that way. Just because the Dems claim it to be so, don’t make it so, Fuzznardo.

    “the ever-widening chasm” Yes George and you and your propaganda blog are one of the reasons that chasm exists and widens as you and yours defend lawlessness, greed, and liars.
    “diametrically opposite worldviews and objectives.” that is also correct as you and yours promote climate denial in the face of massive scientific evidence to the opposite, the destruction of the constitution by that crook Trump and his republican lackies, destruction of the environment for the sake of corporate greed, incarceration of immigrants seeking a better life, separating children from their parents and putting them in concentration camps, white old man supremacy… the list goes on and on..

    The Fifth Amendment is unfair to prosecutors, giving unfair advantage to defendants… they should stop resting their cases until judges everywhere decide to allow forced self incriminations, illegal searches and seizures, maybe even torture in order for a fair-to-the-prosecution trial to take place.
    I mean, be real, Punchy… the only reason to stop a nosy policeman or policewoman from looking in a place they’re not authorized to search is if you have something to hide.

    Daily Quotes. The last one is the best, IMHO.
    For the record: “House Democrats voted Wednesday evening to impeach Donald Trump but, media high-fives aside, what have they accomplished? They have failed to persuade the country; they have set a new, low standard for impeaching a President; Mr. Trump will be acquitted in the Senate; and Democrats may have helped Mr. Trump win re-election. Congratulations to The Resistance.” —The Wall Street Journal
    Memo to the Left: “Donald J. Trump is president of the United States. He is president today. He will be president tomorrow. And he will be president when this impeachment is over.” —House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
    The BIG Lie I: “President Trump abused the enormous powers of his office when he solicited foreign interference for the purpose of helping him in his re-election campaign in 2020. The president betrayed our national security and undermined the security of our elections when he put his own personal political interests ahead of the interests of our country.” —Rep. David Cicilline
    The BIG Lie II: “He tried to cheat to win re-election. And this wasn’t an attack on Vice President Biden, this was an attack on our democracy, and if we do not hold the president accountable today we will no longer live in a democracy. We will live in a dictatorship where any future president will be free to abuse their office in order to get re-elected.” —David Cicilline
    Non compos mentis: “We would be crazy to walk in there knowing [Mitch McConnell] set up a kangaroo court.” —House Majority Whip James Clyburn after the House completed its kangaroo court proceedings
    Trump Derangement Syndrome: “It is my adult son, Ian Schakowsky, whom I will always credit for my decision last June to support an impeachment inquiry.” —Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who just admitted planning impeachment before Trump even made his phone call to Ukraine
    Dezinformatsiya: “Merry Impeachmas from the WaPo team!” —Washington Post “journalist” Rachael Bade
    Grand delusions: “Fifty years from now, if you’re still alive and have grandkids, they’ll ask what it was like the night the House of Representatives had to impeach a President of the United States for violating his Oath of Office, threatening U.S. national security, and undermining our democracy.” —Newsweek columnist Seth Abramson
    And last… “By the time of the election, this will all be a distant memory and nobody will care about it anymore. I don’t even care about it now and it just happened like an hour ago.” —Matt Walsh

    ,,,Newsbuster again,,,I forgot to add that to the long list of right wing sites you seek like a bee to the hive,,,
    Extra!, the magazine of the progressive media watch group FAIR, criticized the MRC in 1998 for selective use of evidence. MRC had said that there was more coverage of government death squads in right-wing El Salvador than in left-wing Nicaragua in the 1980s, when Amnesty International stated El Salvador was worse than Nicaragua when it came to extrajudicial killings. Extra! also likened a defunct MRC newsletter, TV etc., which tracked the off-screen political comments of actors, to “Red Channels, the McCarthy Era blacklisting journal.”[44]
    Journalist Brian Montopoli of Columbia Journalism Review in 2005 labeled MRC “just one part of a wider movement by the far right to demonize corporate media”, rather than “make the media better.”[45]
    On December 22, 2011, Media Research Center president Bozell appeared on Fox News and suggested U.S. President Barack Obama looks like a “skinny ghetto crackhead”.[46]
    The Media Research Center has also faced scrutiny over the group’s $350,000 purchase in 2012 of a Pennsylvania house that a top executive had been trying to sell for several years. [47]
    On June 31, 2013, Media Research Center president Bozell appeared on Fox News to defend a Fox interview in which Fox journalists conducted almost no research into the background of Reza Aslan to prepare for its interview with him, and its putative biases.[48]
    Progressive media watchdog group Media Matters for America has repeatedly criticized the MRC, charging they view the media “through a funhouse mirror that renders everything–even the facts themselves–as manifestations of insidious bias”.[49]
    When the Media Research Center bestowed an award named for William F. Buckley to Sean Hannity, conservative columnist Bret Stephens wrote an editorial in The New York Times in which he lamented, “And so we reach the Idiot stage of the conservative cycle, in which a Buckley Award for Sean Hannity suggests nothing ironic, much less Orwellian, to those bestowing it, applauding it, or even shrugging it off. The award itself is trivial, but it’s a fresh reminder of who now holds the commanding heights of conservative life, and what it is that they think.”

    “On the same day that she presided over the very “solemn,” and entirely partisan, impeachment proceedings against President Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was smacked with a “pants on fire” rating for her claim about what she declared an “alarming” development in Wisconsin…..
    Pelosi’s alarmist tweet continues a theme increasingly pushed by Democrats over the last year: that Republicans are somehow blocking Democrats from voting. Among the more vocal promoters of this claim is failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate
    The only problem with Pelosi’s message, as PolitiFact explains, is that it’s false. Before delivering its “pants on fire” worst rating, the left-leaning fact-checker provides some context for her tweet about Wisconsin, which Trump won in 2016 by 23,000 votes.”

    True, true – but on the other hand, we do have to try to formulate a public policy. And then the fun starts. To begin that process, we need an outline of goals and objectives. It turns out we (as a nation) can’t even agree on very much right there.
    Now some will blame our good Doctor Rebane for that, but I’m really, really certain that the divide started long before he was even a twinkle in his parents’ eyes. Because he has the audacity to write about these differences, he is blamed. “Let’s kill the messenger for the bad news”, and all that.

    Suspect is far too kind. When Deep State officials are given airtime to promote their agenda, the corporate media that employ them have made it clear that journalistic integrity takes a back seat to rank propaganda and coordinated disinformation campaigns.
    Greenwald notes damning implications of these arrangements. “All of this has meant that U.S. discourse on these national security questions is shaped almost entirely by the very agencies that are trained to lie: the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, the FBI,” he writes. “And their lying has been highly effective.”
    They’re not alone. In a separate article, Greenwald cites the 10 most embarrassing media failures with regard to the Trump-Russia story. Yet his efforts pale by comparison to Sharyl Attkisson’s list of 106 anti-Trump media mistakes committed over the last three years alone. New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin has chronicled the New York Times’ long descent from credibility, led by editor in chief James Baquet, who became “an errand boy for Comey’s corrupt team of G-men.” James Okeefe’s Project Veritas has exposed the blatant bias of CNN and president Jeff Zucker’s personal vendetta against the president, and Greenwald illuminates the criminal leaking by government officials to the Washington Post and New York Times.
    Nor was Trump the only target. As the Washington Examiner reminds us, the media-orchestrated smear campaign against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was breathtaking in both scope and mendacity…
    Tragically, it appears they are now one and the same. For exposing the Deep State-Media Alliance, President Trump has endured three years of negative coverage exceeding 90% and an ongoing attempted coup. And while leftists might swoon at the thought of that coup being successful, they might want to consider the reality that a corrupt media aligned with unelected bureaucrats has an agenda entirely of their own — and that targeting a president, or any other government official, might not be limited to those with an “R” next to their names.
    Despite The Washington Post’s high-minded slogan, democracy doesn’t “die in darkness.” It dies right out in the open, when those who are supposed to protect it collaborate with those who view the electorate with unbridled contempt.”

    The Trumpler-Putin Alliance
    This Russia-Trump collusion is arguably the greatest threat this nation currently faces.
    The Trump administration is pushing back on a wide-ranging piece of legislation meant to deter and punish Russian aggression and its interference in our elections. “This strong vote indicates an overwhelming desire by the Senate as a whole to push back against Russian interference in our election and Putin’s misadventures throughout the world,” Lindsay Graham said after the bill was passed in committee with a bi-partisan vote. It will be voted on by the full Senate after the holidays.
    The White House voiced it’s opposition In a 22-page letter to Congress that outlined a series of concerns about the bill, calling it “unnecessary” and in need of “significant changes.” and that the White House “strongly opposed” the bill.
    I guess Trumpler wants more help in 2020. If you are listening Russia….

    “So solly Walt. Your ignorance is only superseded by your fear. “Just an outright clearing of Trump. Game over.” The Senate cannot overturn an impeachment”
    Yes they can.
    “Here’s what Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans must do in response,” Levin wrote. “The Senate has the sole power under the Constitution to adjudicate an impeachment. Therefore, Pelosi is attempting to obstruct the Senate’s power to act on its constitutional authority.
    “McConnell should immediately put an end to this and declare the impeachment null and void as the speaker has failed to complete the impeachment process by timely sending it to the Senate for adjudication,”
    Yes. Game over……
