Daily Quotes
Insight: “An armed society is a polite society.” —Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)
Observations: “One of the amazing things in America is there are a group of people known for being armed and what they’re mainly feared for is that they vote.” —Frank J. Fleming
Leftmedia circling the wagons: “Reporter: Trump rhetoric is the reason conservatives no longer trust the media. Conservatives: Actually, no. We have long distrusted the media. Trump just gave voice to it. Reporter: See, look how effective Trump’s attacks have been. They don’t even realize it’s Trump’s fault.” —Erick Erickson
For the record: “Something is missing from the charges against Trump: An impeachable offense.” —Andrew McCarthy
By “gifted storyteller” it means “liar”: “Senator Warren is a gifted storyteller.” —New York Times endorsement of Elizabeth Warren
Non compos mentis: “The Democratic Party is not a left party; the Democratic Party is a center, or center-conservative party.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Courting the coveted DUI vote: “I don’t count drunk driving as a felony.” —Joe Biden
Nothing to see here… “The only purpose in putting [Hunter Biden] on their list is they wish to trade material witnesses, like Mr. Bolton and Mulvaney and others, for immaterial ones that will allow them to continue to attack a political opponent. That’s an illegitimate abuse of the trial.” —House Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff
Village idiots: “Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a 10- to 12-year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all.” —actor John Cusack
And last… “I’m a gun rights supporter but I’m frankly embarrassed by the protestors in Virginia [yesterday]. It’s pretty rude to be so peaceful after the media were rooting for violence. Not fair to make them look stupid like that.” —Matt Walsh

“Why didn’t Schiff have them deposed and then testify dugsKKKi?”
Ah, the question not answered. Why, why why? Circle the barn time.
When you stop and think about it, Schiffilis is the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Let that sink in. As Chairman of the Intel Committee, he has powers other members of Congress do not have. He has subpoena power. Let that sink in. Nancy does not have that power and at this point she is just a member of the House, nothing more, nothing less. One vote.
Why did Schiffilis not subpoena John Bolton? John said he never received one. Why, why, why?
The oblivious answer is Schiffilis, the self-proclaimed grand jury’s prosecutor of the Impeachment Articles , did NOT submit a good case. Let too many gapping gaps,. He, like Nadler, wanted others in another body to do the work for him which he miserably failed to do. Hearsay don’t cut it,
innuendo can only carry you so far.
Reminds me of when Mueller indicted the Russian trolls farm(s). Presented the evidence to the court and, lo and behold, one firm showed up and said “let’s rumble”. The prosecution panicked, asked for more time, and they were not ready, lol. Hey, if you make an indictment, it’s the prosecutor’s job to be prepared to go to trial, especially after filing charges. But, they were not prepared, lol. They had not even translated the evidence, most were comments on posts not seen in the USA and not in English, roflmao. The value was the charge, not the substance.
A few days ago Nadler was declaring from his stage that Hunter Biden had no value as a witness in the case and must not be called as a witness. Forbidden. I thought, “Too bad, Numbnuts, you have no say in the matter. You had your chance and blew it. No say. Nancy has no say. They just can’t get it through their alcohol soaked noggins that have no say no more. They just are not that important. All they have is opinions, from the outside looking in.
Wanna blame. Blame those who handed over an empty case with so many holes you can drive a Mac truck through it.

The proposition that “Biden is not part the impeachment” is beyond butt stupid. One of the two lame articles of impeachment the Dems could cobble together hangs ONLY on the involvement of the Bidens and their history (and alleged corruption) with Ukrainian oligarchs. If you take out Trumps legitimate desire to have the Bidens’ Ukrainian involvement investigated, then that article disappears. The Dems cannot risk light being shined on the ‘Biden dealings’ with Ukraine for which we already have (video) evidence of the former VP’s machinations with the Ukrainian government. Bring on the witnesses.

,,,Among the documents is a letter that Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani sent to Ukraine’s newly inaugurated president, Volodymyr Zelensky, in May.
Dated May 10, the letter showed the former New York mayor telling Zelensky he wanted to meet in person on May 13 and May 14.
“Just to be precise, I represent him as a private citizen, not as President of the United States,” Giuliani wrote. “This is quite common under American law because the duties and privileges of a President and a private citizen are not the same.”

According to republican propaganda they wanted a trial ‘just like Clinton’s’…according to history the vote to include additional documents and testimony was 100-0 in favor of more disclosure. Fast forward to now. No more documents no more testimony tabled along party lines. This is a kangaroo court of trumplicans that will let their fearless and hair impaired leader (like a lot of republican congressman with really bad toupees) slide, no questions asked, hear no evil, speak no evil, say no evil…. How can anyone who supports this partisan charade of a trial call themselves a patriot? and it is not the charges that are the charade, it is clearly the coverup. Lets see… like Clinton’s trial… Clinton lied about getting a blowjob.. trump lies about everything including trying to rig an election in his favor.. wasn’t trump who said the elections were rigged…with a shit-eating grin that said “yeah but for me not against me”?
