There comes a point when you wonder if the House managers like Adam Schiff have been intentionally bat guano insane over the top on purpose, with the intention of of causing even the most squishy Republican Senators to say “enough. We don’t need witnesses, we don’t need to hear anymore, move on, vote to acquit”, which is meant to give Democrats election season talking points about collusion and Republicans not caring and such. Because we get things like this
Adam Schiff Warns Donald Trump Could Give Alaska to the Russians If Not Impeached
House Impeachment Manager and House Oversight Chairman Adam Schiff warned Monday that President Donald Trump might give Alaska to the Russians if he is not impeached.
Schiff disagreed with the president’s lawyers, who argued that Trump’s actions were not criminal and should thus not be considered impeachable.
He warned that they were setting a precedent that would only encourage Trump to pursue “unacceptable†actions if exonerated.
“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election,†he said. “Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago personally and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.â€
Schiff said Senate Republicans would create a “runaway presidency†if they failed to remove him from office.
“We have known since the day we brought these charges that the bar to conviction requiring a full two-thirds of the Senate may be prohibitively high,†he said. “And yet, the alternative is a runaway presidency and a nation whose elections are open to the highest bidder.â€
Or, it could be that Adam Schiff is just completely nutso, that Donald Trump being president has driven him as mad as so many Democrats, and he just cannot even pretend anymore. This behavior is so deranged he should be asked to step down and let someone else sit in his elected seat. And, as Jason Chaffetz notes, he should have his security clearance pulled.
And Schiff has apparently made Rep Jason Crow bat guano insane
(The Hill) Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), a House impeachment manager, on Monday quoted the “Harry Potter†character Albus Dumbledore during his closing remarks in President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.
The Colorado Democrat turned to the best-selling franchise when wrapping up his arguments, citing the Hogwarts headmaster in a quote that he said hangs on his son’s wall.
“My wife and I have tried to teach our kids that what we can always control are our choices,†Crow said.
“It’s in that spirit that hanging in my son’s room is a quote from ‘Harry Potter,’†he added. “The quote is from Professor Dumbledore, who said, ‘It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.’ â€
Sigh. Just vote and move on. I’ve seen people asking why the GOP didn’t just vote on aquital last Friday. Perhaps because it gives the Dems 5 extra days to be wackadoodle on the record on the Senate floor, great material for the the GOP for the 2020 elections.
Who said it first?
“Assume [Vladimir] Putin decides to ‘retake’ Alaska, the way he ‘retook’ Crimea. Assume further that a president allows him to do it, because he believed that Russia has a legitimate claim to ‘its’ original territory. That would be terrible, but would it be impeachable? Not under the text of the Constitution.†— tRump Attorney Alan Dershowitz
QUE the twilight zone MUSIC.
“Assume MEXICO decides to ‘retake’ CALIFORNIA after it was taken from them. Assume further that a president allows him to do it because he believed that MEXICO has a legitimate claim to ‘its’ original territory. That would be terrible, but would it be impeachable? Not under the text of the Constitution.†—Democrat apologist Elwood P Dowd
What evidence is there that Mexico has not decided to retake California and parts of the West? After all, we gringos have stolen so much territory from it!
The estimable Mr. Dana should check with tRump defense attorney Alan Dershowitz who made the claim that nothing in our Constitution would prevent a US President from trading large swaths of US territory for political favors.
After all, tRump defense attorney Alan Dershowitz claimed that withholding $391 million in allocated aid in exchange for a political favor was not impeachable.
Incredibly, in a 180 degree pivot from 1998, tRump defense attorney Alan Dershowitz claimed that a President must have committed an indictable crime to face impeachment!
Cc,
Actually it was tRump defense attorney Alan Dershowitz (who defended Epstein, OJ, tRump, etc) who made the claim that a President giving up territory would not be impeachable. See above. You should read more.
You’re just another right-wing liar.
Speaking of liars…
Lolgfy Jeffery
It will never go away.
NO he would be better off to give CALIFORNIA to the Russians. Then he could declare himself king and the 55 electors from California would be gone.
Look at Iowa last night. The DNC has become the party of dysfunction and should now offical dubb themselves Department of NEVER BERNIE instead of DNC.
The amount of cheating this party is willing to embark is evident by the impeachment of Trump the Russia Collusion/Bribery/Embezzelment whatever flavor of the month they were accusing Trump of after the 2016 election.
The DNC is so broke they cant even run the first caucus/primary of the year after 3 years of getting ready for it. They are having coin flips in back rooms. Their APP failed. Whatever the reason, this is catastrophic for them. The DNC tried so hard to defeat Bernie that even moderate and independent voters have to be turning to each other and going WTF mate?!!
Cc,
Do you have evidence of cheating??? Do tell! Maybe tRump/Russians interfered again.
It’s no surprise that a Con Man would propose breaking up the nation to enable a right-wing authoritarian ‘king’.
Chumpchange, what’s your take on tRump’s performance at his taxpayer funded Super Bowl Party? He was caught on video mocking the Star Spangled Banner and looked impaired. Maybe we need to drug test presidents. Or institute quarterly psych evaluations.
We know the right-wing will make excuses for The Teflon Don.
My evidence is as obvious and strong as is YOURS against Trump.
I deem it so therefore it is.
Refute that with facts.
Cc,
tRump very obviously tried to force Ukraine to give him dirt on candidate Biden. Even several GOPher Senators said as much. He did it. But GOPhers have made the decision that cheating in presidential elections is no big deal. The evidence against tRump is in telephone calls, emails, and conversations with associates. tRump delayed aid to Ukraine to force them to announce an investigation of Biden.
Do you have evidence of election tampering in Iowa? Didn’t think so. You invoke the perennial favorite of the ‘American’ right – conspiracy theories. The tRump campaign is already all over it.
Did tRump make you, as a staunch ‘American patriot’, even a little uncomfortable with his antics during the playing of our National Anthem? It probably wasn’t on FOX ‘News’ so you may have to search for the video.
The little Never Trumpers who are terrified of Trump’s minions?
What is pissing the GOP off against Trump is that Trump fights back using the same tactics and language as the left. Meanwhile the GOP acts all high and mighty in their throne rooms on the capital, knowing they live in safe states and refuse to defend Trump with the exception of Cruz and Graham and Kennedy and Paul.
This is the exact same thing that happened to Kavanaugh and before that Bush JR.
Bush JR. HID in the White House crying to his momma while the bad MSM and democrats destroyed his presidency while NO ONE fought back. They let him get turned into a rug and stomped on in the mudroom. Bush allowed himself to be turned into a rug and bashed mercilessly. He was protecting the integrity of the office. Yeah how did that work out for him?
What fuking integrity? Obama was so fuking full of corruption in Ukraine that the democrats had to invent a Russia hoax to try and deflect the absolute cesspool the deep staters running Obama’s White House had concocted.
Trump fights back. In the meantime, Lisa Murkowski and Romney lead the charge against Trump while they themselves DO FUKING NOTHING to fight this lopsided partisan war. All they care about is their own little domain. Murkowski was so bad when she lost the nomination she did a write-in vote to get her job back.
the woman who would be king and refuse to relinquish power. Remember the VP for GORE doing the same thing? Joe Lieberman(D) lost his seat and did a write-in to get back to the senate. Power is desperate.
NO one defends trump in the senate with the exception of a few. It will be those few who will lead the party going forward. It will be Graham, Cruz or Paul who will be the clear frontrunners in 2020. Because they dared to rub their nads and fight against this bullying by the left while the rest of these gutless senators hide.
And it is precisely because NO ONE DEFENDS TRUMP that he is forced to fight back and do it in the same ugly manner the left uses against Republicans. and thats why Elwood and his commie buddies hate trump.
There was NOTHING to Ukraine against Trump other than what is in the lefts head and the age old if you say it a billion times it becomes true. The left is full-blown liars right down to stealing lolipops from flyover country babies.
As if on queue that little Trump in Elwoods head turns him into Fredo again. Trump has you and your party of misfits, mooslems and commies so fuked up you can’t even successfully rig your own elections. Hahahahaha.
You leftists have been rigging, stealing and defrauding elections since you founded the Slave Party yet you can’t seem to steal Iowa and allow Bloomberg to BUY your party with style. You! The party that hates billionaires has two billionaires (one a midget) running and Bloomie is buying the old democrat infrastructure to install a leftist totalitarian state. And you Fredo, can’t even see it because that little Trump in your head has you mentally incapacitated.
Trump 2020 Keep Elwood’s Trump alive.
Dildo,
Do YOU have any evidence? Didn’t think so.
Did you see tRump’s embarrassing and unpatriotic (if not traitorous) actions at the taxpayer funded Super Bowl Party? If Colin Kaepernick is a traitor for kneeling respectfully, what does that make tRump for mocking the National Anthem.
Con Men appear to be hiding from it.
Dems don’t hate billionaires, we only ask that they pay into the system that made them rich.
Most of what Con Men believe is bullshit.
2020: Don’t be a Dildo.
President Donald Trump was chastised Monday after video footage showed him goofing off as the national anthem played during a Super Bowl party at his West Palm Beach golf resort.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…..The man was not even at the game. Is ANYONE supposed to jump to attention when they play the national anthem 10,100, 1000 miles away from where you stand?
did you jump to attention watching the game on TV? I didn’t. I bet 99.9999 percent of all Americans and communists around the world did not rise for the national anthem while watching it on TV.
You are a loon Elwood. Your side is so desperate.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL….God, I love how Trump lives rent-free in your head whispering GOD, over and over as you scream and flail around with more and more bizarre conspiracy theorist I Love to read your ever increasing panic laced posts. They are quite literally the highlight of my day.
Speaking of embarrassing and unpatriotic…
Bwaha! Lolgfy Jeffery
You should talk, little sissybitch.
To what branch did TEACH’s pet, the LilCrotchSniffer volunteer?
Lolgfy Porter Good & his LilCrotchSniffer
Don’t be a LilCrotchSniffer
chump,
Do you think what Mr. Kaepernick did (kneeling) is worse than tRump’s assholery?
Hypocrite much?
Dildo,
And the word is “cue”.
Elwood your just so desperate. Kaepernick is irrelevant. He doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing he did was get a bunch of cops killed.
I don’t care about him. He does not matter, is insignificant and if he wants to take a nap during the National Anthem I don’t care. You see. In the grand scheme of things
Did you stand and salute at your home when the superbowl was on tv?
