[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]

    It’s too funny that the new major in the Virginia Statehoue can’t even wait until they are sworn in to start gun grabbing and giving “the people” the one digit salute. They indeed are impatient children squirming around like they are holding back a big long wee-wee with the bathroom door locked.
    Have you dug into their proposed gun legislation? It would be a felony for a licensed instruction at a gun range to teach someone how to shoot an AR-15…among other buried things in legalese. They are truly of a deceitful heart.

    “”To essentially deprive half the state of Hawaii of representation in that sense is unacceptable,” he said. “We only have four members in the (congressional) delegation, and just having three there for all intents and purposes does not handle it.”
    Abercrombie expressed his disappointment in Gabbard missing the majority of votes over the last several months, as well as casting a “present” vote on the House’s two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
    “When she just showed up and voted ‘present,’ I thought ― wait a minute ― that’s a step too far,” he said.”
    So the only SANE DEM. running gets treated like this.

    @ 6:37 pm. Gabbie
    Well, what did you expect? They always treat “MyGal” that way.
    I read an article that Gabby she was a coward for voting present and other articles calling her courageous for thinking of America first and what this is doing to our country. “It’s tearing us apart. Look at we are doing, folks. Heck, I am running for President to defeat Donald Trump, but this is hurting my country.” Paraphrase. “Stop the madness. I can’t vote to impeach on these flimsy grounds and I don’t like him on bit. He needs to go.” That’s someone who plays by the rules of fairness.
    Heck, Hillary called Gabby a Russian asset they have groomed, somebody on the View agreed, Clinton News Network agreed, and what else? Oh, she is a threat to them, alright. Just like da Hillary/DNC Complex looked at the R field and came up a list of 3. Dr. Ben Carson, Cruise, and Trump. They were scared shitless of Dr. Ben Carson, the soft spoken pioneer brain surgeon.
    Even the FBI had a word for The Three. Somethings like the Musketeers, but different. Shorter.
    That last tidbit about the nickname given the 3 R’s to keep an eye on was found right there in the lovebirds’s orgasmic texts. It’s like getting all the pieces together then start putting the puzzle together. A picture emerges. Nothing to see here.
    Gabby is a Russian asset doing Putin’s evil work. They want her dead.

    They are making sure there are no 3rd Party spoilers. They are sending signals that Dr. Jill Stein best not even consider running gain. Takedown of Mayor Pete is next.

And Slow Joe just slogs on one foot in front of the other living basically in the 24-27% support lane, with occasional short term 22 % and 29%s.
    Gabby is just positioning herself for 2024, 2028…just like Amy. Biden-Amy and screw the howling bedwetters. Might work. Stacey Abrams pulled a Colin Kap and blew her chance with Joe. Now she is sending signals that she is right here waiting, folks. Open to VP offers. Oh my.

    Morn’n Bill,, The Constitutions SAYS that’s what the 2ND Amendment is for! Subvert? OH NOOOoo my good Sir. It’s upholding it.
    “The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.[13] Any labels of rights as auxiliary must be viewed in the context of the inherent purpose of a Bill of Rights, which is to empower a group with the ability to achieve a mutually desired outcome, and not to necessarily enumerate or rank the importance of rights. Thus all rights enumerated in a Constitution are thus auxiliary in the eyes of Sir William Blackstone because all rights are only as good as the extent they are exercised in fact”

    The campaign’s communications director coaxed Democrats to keep going after the president and said it will only create more support for his reelection campaign.
    “Every time the Democrats and the media go into a frenzy,…we collect more data, we have greater interaction with the voters, and we raise more money,” said Murtaugh. “The president’s reelection campaign gets bigger and stronger.”
    Senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump echoed the optimism of the campaign during a recent interview, which is set to air later this month on Face the Nation.
    “He’s energized, as are the 63 million plus voters who elected him to office,” she said

    DEMOCRATS CONSIDERING MORE IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES TO NOT PROSECUTE
    The impeachment farce (by which I mean the way impeachment is being handled) may be headed for new heights. Farce status was attained when Nancy Pelosi decided, for the time being at least, not to send the two articles of impeachment authorized by the House on to the Senate for prosecution.
    Pelosi’s rationale was astounding. The Senate needs to hear more evidence than the House bothered to collect to adjudicate the case for removing President Trump.
    I have assumed that Pelosi was bluffing, albeit with an exposed hand consisting of a queen high (or maybe a high queen). Surely she simply hopes to leverage Trump’s expressed desire for a trial into a few procedural concessions.
    But if we take Pelosi’s statements at face value, the farce is heightened by the position House Democrats are taking in court — i.e., that they need testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn in order to determine whether to bring new articles of impeachment.
    One response might be that if the House could pass two articles of impeachment without what it claims is key evidence, why can’t it pass additional articles impeachment without McGahn’s testimony? Another response might be that if the House isn’t willing to prosecute the articles of impeachment it has already passed, why should a court enable it to pass additional articles to NOT prosecute.
    These answers are flippant, of course. The House’s case for obtaining McGahn’s testimony will be treated more seriously, and should be, by a panel of the D.C Circuit consisting of Judges Henderson, Griffith, and Rogers (a Bush 41, a Bush 43, and a Clinton appointee, respectively).
    But Pelosi’s behavior invites ridicule. Americans who are still following the impeachment process (and not that many seem to be) must be scratching their heads.

It also, for some reason, renders its users “anti-radioactive.”
    ● Kim Jong-un could drive at age 3 and was a competitive sailor at age 9.
    ● Kim Jong-un and North Korean archaeologists also found a unicorn’s lair, or at least “recently reconfirmed” the location of unicorns ridden by the ancient Korean King Tongmyong, according to The Guardian. If people are distrustful of the discovery, it has a rectangular rock in front that reads: “Unicorn Lair”.
    ● Korean news agencies reported that Kim’s father, Kim Jong-il, learned to walk at 3 weeks old and once shot a round of golf that included 11 holes-in-one.
    ● People surprised by his greatness should only remember the day he was born, when a double rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky.
