Unless you have the IQ of a pencil neck pimple on Adam Schiff or a Jerrold Nadler fat cell, you have to admit the first day of Schiff’s Super Shameful Sham Show was an embarrassing waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
After listening to Shifty Schiff’s pair of star chamber witnesses drone on about hearsay and gossip, we were left with some interesting conclusions:
1) The only evidence Schiff’s witless witnesses provided was secondhand and third-hand sources and for all we know, came from a Capitol Hill barber and Schiff third cousin twice removed who wears a hearing aid and who has a septuagenarian crush on Nancy Botoxi.
2) At least some Democrats believe that hearsay can be better than real evidence.
Let’s test that theory by the moron who said it out loud – Democrat Illinois Representative Mike Quigley. Hey, Mike – I heard someone I know tell someone I don’t know that you filch money from the offering plate at church and wear a teddy to bed every night.
Prove me wrong, Mike – go ahead. We’ll wait while you reconsider your stupid comment that rumor and innuendo are better than factual evidence while arguing your innocence.
3) People make mistakes, says star witness Check out this exchange between U.S. Attorney to Ukraine William Taylor and Republican Ohio Representative Mike Turner:
“Mr. Turner, I am here to tell you what I know. I’m not going to tell you anything I don’t know. I’m going to tell you what I do know. That’s exactly why I’m here.”
Turner pressed: “But since you learned it from others, you could be wrong. Correct?”
Taylor: “I am telling you what I heard them tell me.”
Turner: “Or they could be wrong, or they could be mistaken, or they could have heard it incorrectly. Right, Ambassador Taylor?”
Taylor: “People make mistakes.”
So it’s a “mistake” when a Democrat relays as gospel hearsay about eavesdropping on a Commander-in-Chief’s phone, but it’s an impeachable offense if a Republican president asks a foreign leader to help the U.S. weed out corruption costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
Well, that’s fair.
4) Quid pro quo isn’t illegal – just like collusion. Are Democrats arguing that giving millions of dollars to foreign countries doesn’t entitle the Commander-in-Chief to ask for anything in return or earmark the money for specific purposes: food, medicine, free elections, etc? Weeding out corruption?
What about this: when a politician is given campaign money by a lobbyist, are we to believe that no quid pro quo takes place and the lobbyist is donating money just because the politician is so doggone patriotic and lovable?
Quid pro quo seems to be a one-way street. Schiff & Co seem to have no problem with Hunter Biden collecting $50,000 a month from a Ukrainian energy firm while his dad was Vice-President and oversaw Obama’s Ukraine policy, but they have a problem with the President of the United States asking the newly elected president of Ukraine for his help in investigating election interference in our 2016 presidential election?
Prediction: Democrats will soon learn that Americans don’t give a schiff about impeaching the president.
The entire party will be schiffing bricks when they realize that Schiff has led them up Schiff creek without a paddle – and just in time for the release of the Horowitz report and indictments for the coup plotters who are using a faux impeachment to distract from the real crimes that were committed.

With each passing day it’s becoming more and more evident that the Impeachment or Bust strategy concocted by Adam Schiff-less, The Squawk Squad and Nancy Botoxi is a bigger bust than Dolly Parton’s.
Fear not though, the Wily E. Coyote Democrats have a lot more in their asine arsenal to go after the president. When their Trump-talked-to-a foreign-leader-and-we’ve-got-nothing-else-so-he-has-to-be-impeached blows up again in their buggy-eyed faces, they’ll stubbornly insist on new grounds for impeachment.
Specifically, a Democrat think tank (an oxymoron if I ever heard one) has offered up five new reasons to unseat America’s duly-elected 45th president.
His Ties Are Too Long – at first glance this may seem like a “stretch,” but what better way for the Dems to hang the president on their own petard than with one of his signature neck ties. As usual though, the Democrats are overreaching with their lame impeachment ploys, have tied themselves up in knots and are choking off any chance they have of winning in 2020.
Politically Incorrect Diet – here’s some food for thought: many leftists and NeverTrumpians think Donald J. Trump is a dolt, a dictator and a despot, but doggone it, they still expect him to parent and be an example for children regarding a healthy diet.
They also believe Trump is receiving illegal endorsement money from the fast food brands he consumes. Yo quiero, Taco Bell!
No Pets, No Regrets – President Trump is the first president in nearly 130 years to go sans-Doggy. Most presidents have had at least one dog (notably Harry Truman and Bill Clinton but we’re referring to the four-legged variety), but President #45 has bucked that trend, probably because his media coverage has been meaner than a junk yard dog.
Also, he frequently entertains himself on Twitter with the dog-and-pony show offered by Democrats and NeverTrumpers.
Toilet Seat Commode-ion – Ever since former President Oblamo dictated that transgenders could use whichever gender’s restroom they identified with at the moment, America’s restrooms have been a commode of confusion, flushed of commonsense and sanity.
The Democrats argue President Trump has made the problem worse in the White House because he leaves the Oval Office toilet seat in the upright position to save time. Since Democrats rarely think about saving time or taxpayer money, this is a “foreign” concept to them and obviously must be an impeachable offense.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow – Since Donald John Trump upset their globalism, one-world government apple cart, Democrats have torn their hair out seeking his impeachment. Regardless of the hair splitting needed to accomplish that, there is neither hide nor hair of any evidence he has broken the law.
Yet Trump’s ouster is constantly in their cross hairs. Their ongoing efforts to destroy him has made a lot of Trump supporters’ hair stand on end, which only bonds the president and his followers closer together.
If the parade of 2020 Democrat presidential candidates is a clown car, their impeachment inquiry is a circus of virtue signaling.
National Review and Fox News Contributor Andy McCarthy said it best: “This is not an impeachment inquiry, it’s a show for TV.”
Thanks for reading Dean Riffs. Welcome to all those who love American liberty, free enterprise, and who believe God has blessed our country.
Everyone’s favorite ground hog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this month and you know what that means: six more months of Democrats bellyaching about Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
Random thoughts about this Democrat Russian collusion riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, or as I like to think of it, the Democrat farce wrapped in a deluded delusion, inside a conundrum of crap.
1) FACT: The infamous dossier written by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and political opposition research firm Fusion GPS was paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democrat National Committee. Remember reading about that in the mainstream media before the release of the Nunes memo? Neither do I.
Reportedly Steele paid former Russian contacts for dirt on candidate Trump, including some working in the Kremlin.
Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson was paid through a conduit, the international law firm Perkins Coie who represented the Clinton presidential campaign.
The FBI also reportedly paid Steele by compensating him for expenses although they’ve been reluctant to admit it – probably because they paid him from loose change found between former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s couch cushions.
In other words, there’s more evidence of Steele, Fusion GPS and the FBI colluding with the Russians than any member of the Trump campaign.
If that’s not enough Russian collusion for you, Fusion GPS had done work for Russian president Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin comrades in an effort to undermine the Magnitsky Act, a U.S. law that sanctioned Russian officials for the murder of one of Putin’s enemies.
Pravda has reported on this extensively for more than a year in their series on American collusion in Russia’s thriving character assassination industry.
2) FACT: Last week it was revealed that Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, got punked by a pair of Russian comedians promising “compromising” dirt on Trump in a 2017 phone call.
The prank definitely left the California representative schiff faced.
During the 8-minute call the radio pranksters posed as a fake Ukrainian politician who promised Schiff nude photos of Trump and a Russian model cavorting after a 2013 Miss Universe pageant.
Is anyone else disturbed by the left’s obsession with naked images of Trump? Sigmund Freud would schiff a load of bricks at their obsession.
Anyway, it’s obvious Schiff doesn’t know schiff about real Russian collusion. He not only promised he’d pass the information on to the proper “authorities,” his staff unsuccessfully attempted to correspond with the fake Ukrainian afterwards to try to obtain the promised materials.
3) FACT: February 8 Fox News’ Ed Henry reported that the Senate Intelligence Committee’s ranking Democrat, Mark Warner, had extensive contact in 2017 with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch in an effort to, you’ll never guess, obtain incriminating information on President Trump.
Warner was trying to connect with dossier author Steele, according to text messages obtained by Fox News. The story reported that Warner was trying to meet with Steele through a lobbyist representing – wait for it – Russian oligarch billionaire Oleg V. Deripaska.
Senator Warner had extensive contact last year with lobbyist Adam Waldman in an effort to connnect with Steele, who if he isn’t already, may be the most famous dossier author in history.
According to the text messages Warner was trying to connect with Steele “on the sly” because he didn’t “want to leave a paper trail” of his plans.
Over the four month period from February through May 2017 Warner was also trying to connect with Deripaska to see about having him testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, but the billionaire knew a bad business deal when he saw it and told Warner, “Nyet, nyet.”
4) FACT: Uranium One is about a 2010 deal in which a Kremlin-connected entity obtained 20 percent of America’s uranium production by acquiring Canada-based Uranium One.
It sounds like the premise of a Tom Clancy novel that was discarded for being too unrealistic.
The deal had to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States due to national security concerns since uranium is a dual-purpose fuel that can be used for nuclear energy to produce electricity or nuclear weapons.
Clinton was never concerned with America’s national security as first lady or U.S. senator, so why would she worry about it as Secretary of State?
One of the concerns with the Uranium One deal was the Foreign Investment board was never advised that the FBI had been investigating ARMZ, part of Rosatom, a Russian-owned nuclear energy company, since 2004.
Anyone that followed Hillary’s work as Secretary of State knew that ‘what they don’t know can’t hurt them’ was a staple of her management philosophy.
In April, 2015 the New York Times reported that the Clinton Foundation got millions from Uranium One investors from 2005 through 2011 but tch, tch, the foundation didn’t disclose any of those donations.
Around that same time former president Bill Clinton collected a $500,000 speaking fee in Moscow. Hopefully no naked photos of Bill Clinton will surface from that trip.
Doubly so for any naked pictures of Hillary.
Critics of the deal have been asking the same two questions the past three years: were Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder aware of the FBI investigation into Russian collusion in the Uranium One deal, and if so, why did they allow the deal to go forward? If they weren’t aware of the deal, how could they have been so stupid?
We’ll be learning much more about this ticking time bomb of Russian bribery and intimidation since FBI undercover agent Douglas Campbell recently testified before three separate congressional committees. Fox News is already reporting that Campbell said that Russian executives told him Moscow was spending millions in lobbying fees to influence the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton.
And all this was before Obama was caught on an open mic telling former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev he’d have more flexibility in his second term.
The evidence Campbell collected while working undercover for four years will be a “bombshell” in confirming long held suspicions about Obama and Clinton corruption concerning Russia.
5) FACT: We now know from the Devin Nunes memo released Feb 2 that the Steele dossier was the primary source used by the FBI to acquire the initial FISA warrant and to renew it every 90 days. But did you know:
The only part of the dossier verified by the FBI before presentation to the FISA court was Trump campaign worker Carter Page’s trip to Moscow;
The dossier was used for the first time in history as an excuse to wiretap Americans and a political opponent’s campaign;
FBI sources leaked portions of the dossier to the media to hamper the Trump campaign and later while the president-elect worked to assemble his staff and Cabinet;
The Mueller investigation into Trump was initiated by former FBI director Jim Comey’s illegal leaks and the investigation itself is built on a dossier chockfull of Russian disinformation.
Bottom line: Democrats have wasted over a year and millions of dollars in taxpayer money looking for the orange-colored collusion needle in the Russian haystack, and so far the only collusion they’ve uncovered is their own side playing footsie with the Russians.
